("Merger Sub"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, Fusion Consulting, Inc. ("Fusion"), a Colorado corporation, the shareholders of Fusion (the "Shareholders") appearing on the signature pages hereto and the shareholder representative (the "Shareholder Representative") appearing on the signature pages hereto.

RECITALS

    B.  Parent, Fusion, Merger Sub and the Shareholders desire to make certain representations and warranties and other agreements in connection with the Merger.

    C.  The parties intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

    D.  The parties intend that for accounting purposes the transaction be treated as a "pooling of interests" under generally accepted accounting principles.

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

    SECTION 1.1  The Merger.  At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") and the Colorado Business Corporation Act ("CBCA") Fusion shall be merged (the "Merger") with and into Merger Sub, the separate corporate existence of Fusion shall cease and Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving corporation (sometimes referred to herein as the "Surviving Corporation").

    SECTION 1.2  Effective Time; Closing.  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the "Delaware Certificate of Merger") and a certificate of merger with the Colorado Secretary of State in accordance with the relevant provisions of the CBCA (the "Colorado Certificate of Merger") as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date. When used in this Agreement, "Effective Time" means the date and time specified in the Delaware Certificate of Merger as the date and time at which the Merger shall become effective, which date and time shall not precede the time of filing of the Colorado Certificate of Merger and shall not be later than the third business day following the Closing Date. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Agreement" as used herein includes this Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and the Delaware and Colorado Certificates of Merger. The closing (the "Closing") of the merger shall take place at the offices of Zamba Corporation, at a time and date to be specified by Parent and Fusion (the "Closing Date") which shall be no later than 20 days following the date of execution hereof.

    SECTION 1.3  Effect of the Merger.  At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL and CBCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Fusion and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts,

1

liabilities and duties of Fusion and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

    SECTION 1.4  Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

    (a) The Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation unless and until thereafter amended.

    (b) The Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be, at the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended.

    SECTION 1.5  Directors and Officers.  The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, to serve until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, to serve until their successors are duly elected or appointed or qualified.

    SECTION 1.6  Effect on Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Fusion or the holders of capital stock of Merger Sub or Fusion, the following actions shall occur with respect to the capital stock of Fusion and Merger Sub:

    (a)  Fusion Common Stock.  Each share of Fusion Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(d) and for any Dissenter's Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive 533.34 shares (the "Common Exchange Ratio") of Parent common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Parent Common Stock"). Parent shall notify Fusion prior to the opening of trading on the day prior to the Closing Date, announcing the Common Exchange Ratio as determined pursuant to this Section 1.6(a).

    (b)  Treasury Stock.  Each share of Fusion Common Stock, held in the treasury of Fusion and each share owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

    (c)  Common Stock of Merger Sub.  Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

    (d)  Adjustments to Exchange Ratio.  The Common Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Fusion Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to capital stock of Parent or Fusion occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

    SECTION 1.7  Delivery of Parent Shares.  Within fourteen (14) days after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the Shareholders a number of shares of Parent Common Stock calculated in accordance with Section 1.6, less the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be deposited into escrow pursuant to Section 1.8, and each Shareholder shall surrender all certificates ("Certificates") representing such Shareholder's shares of Fusion Common Stock in exchange therefor.

    SECTION 1.8  Escrowed Shares.  Within 14 days of the Closing Date, Parent, on behalf of the Shareholders, shall deposit into escrow, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to be entered into pursuant to Section 7.2(e), 10% of the shares (the "Indemnity Escrow Amount") of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.6 registered in the name of the Escrow Agent. The Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be deposited on behalf of the Shareholders pro rata based on the Allocation Ratio, from the shares of

2

Parent Common Stock to be issued and delivered to each Shareholder as of the Effective Time. "Allocation Ratio" means (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to such Shareholder with respect to all its shares of Fusion Common Stock divided by (ii) the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as of the Effective Time to all the Shareholders.

    SECTION 1.9  No Fractional Shares.  No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. All shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.6 shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

    SECTION 1.10  Effect of Failure to Deliver Fusion Common Stock.  Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section, each certificate representing Fusion Common Stock held by a Shareholder shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only ownership of the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Fusion Common Stock shall have been so converted and any dividends or distributions to which the holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.11.

    SECTION 1.11  Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares.  No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder thereof certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, along with the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

    SECTION 1.12  Transfers of Ownership.  If any certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that (i) the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed, accompanied by any documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any applicable transfer taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall provide evidence that any applicable transfer taxes have been paid, and (ii) the transferee shall execute letters substantially similar to those referenced in Section 2.8 during any period of time when such letters impose restrictions on transfer.

    SECTION 1.13  No Further Ownership Rights in Fusion Common Stock.  All shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Fusion Common Stock shall have been so converted and any dividends or distributions to which the holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.11 shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Fusion Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Fusion Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

    SECTION 1.14  Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall direct its transfer agent to issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions to which the holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.11; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such

3

sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the transfer agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

    SECTION 1.15  Tax Consequences.  It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Income Tax Regulations.

    SECTION 1.16  Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action.  If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Fusion and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Fusion and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is consistent with this Agreement.

    SECTION 1.17  Legends on Shares.  Shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 1.6 shall bear the following legend:

The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to a Lock-Up Agreement with the Issuer that places restrictions on transfer. Such shares may not be transferred or otherwise disposed of unless and until (i) the shares are registered under such Act or (ii) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer to the effect that registration under such Act is not required and (iii) the restrictions set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement have been released in accordance with the terms thereof.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF FUSION AND THE SHAREHOLDERS

    SECTION 8.3  Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Shareholders of Fusion, there shall not be any amendment that by Law requires further approval by the Shareholders of Fusion without the further approval of such Shareholders.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION AND ESCROW

    SECTION 9.1  Indemnification by the Company Shareholders.  From and after the Closing, each Shareholder shall indemnify Parent and the Surviving Corporation and any employee, director, officer or agent (the "Indemnified Parties") of each of them against, hold each of them harmless from, and reimburse each of them for any claim, costs, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) or other damage (including, without limitation, expectation, actual, punitive and consequential damages) (collectively, "Damages") arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with: (a) any inaccuracy in any of the warranties or representations of the Company or any Shareholder in this Agreement (other than the Several Representations, for which only the Shareholder making such representation is liable), (b) any failure by the Company or any Shareholder to perform or comply with any covenant or obligation in this Agreement, or (c) any Third Party Claim (as defined below) relating to an inaccuracy or failure referred to in clause (a) or (b) above.

    SECTION 9.2  Indemnification by Parent and Merger Sub.  From and after the Closing, Parent and the Merger Sub shall indemnify each Shareholder (the "Indemnified Parties") against, hold each of them harmless from, and reimburse each of them for any claim, costs, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) or other damage (including, without limitation, expectation, actual, punitive and consequential damages) (collectively, "Damages") arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with: (a) any inaccuracy in any of the warranties or representations of the Merger Sub or Parent in this Agreement, (b) any failure by the Merger Sub or Parent to perform or comply with any covenant or obligation in this Agreement, or (c) any Third Party Claim (as defined below) relating to an inaccuracy or failure referred to in clause (a) or (b) above.

    SECTION 9.3  Procedure for Third Party Claims.  Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action or demand or claim by a third party (a "Third Party Claim") which gives rise to Damages, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against a Shareholder, give notice to the Shareholder Representative (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) of its assertion of such claim for indemnification and provide reasonable detail with respect thereto. Failure so to notify the Shareholder Representative shall not relieve any Shareholder of any liability that he/she may have to any Indemnified Party except to the extent that the defense of such action or Third Party Claim is materially prejudiced thereby. If any such action shall be brought or a Third Party Claim

26

shall be asserted against an Indemnified Party and it shall give notice to the Shareholder Representative of the commencement or assertion thereof, the Shareholder Representative shall, on behalf of the appropriate Shareholder, be entitled, at its own expense and not with recourse to the Escrow Fund (other than in the case of a final disposition or settlement of such action or Third Party Claim), to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. If the Shareholder Representative receives notice of any action or Third Party Claim, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party as to whether, at its expense and not with recourse to the escrow fund pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, it intends to control the defense thereof. If the Shareholder Representative defends an action, it shall have full control over the litigation, including settlement and compromise thereof, subject only to the following: no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Shareholder Representative without the Indemnified Party's consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by a Shareholder or the Shareholder Representative. If notice is given to the Shareholder Representative of the commencement of any action and it does not, within 20 days after the Indemnified Party's notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have full control over the litigation, including settlement and compromise thereof.

    SECTION 9.4  Indemnity Period.  No claim for indemnification under Section 9 of this Agreement may be made unless notice is given by the party seeking such indemnification to the party from whom indemnification is sought on or prior to January 1, 2003, except for claims of breaches of the representations and warranties in (i) Section 3.14, for which a notice of claim must be made within six years of the Closing Date and (ii) Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.9, and 3.10, for which there is no time limit.

    SECTION 9.5  Satisfaction of Indemnification Claim.  In the event any Shareholder shall have any liability for indemnification or otherwise to any Indemnified Party under this Article IX, the liability may be satisfied first from the property escrowed pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and thereafter from the Shareholders directly.

    SECTION 9.6  The Shareholder Representative.

    (a) The Shareholder Representative has been authorized, designated and appointed to act as the sole and exclusive agent, attorney-in-fact and representative of each of the Shareholders by the consent of the Shareholders and as such has been authorized and directed to (i) take any and all actions (including without limitation executing and delivering any documents, incurring any costs and expenses for the account of the Shareholders and making any and all determinations required by this Agreement) which may be required in carrying out his duties under this Agreement, (ii) exercise such other rights, power and authority as are authorized, delegated and granted to the Shareholder Representative under this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) exercise such rights, power and authority as are incidental to the foregoing. Any such actions taken, exercises of rights, power or authority, and any decision or determination made by the Shareholder Representative consistent therewith shall be absolutely and irrevocably binding on each Shareholder as if such Shareholder personally had taken such action, exercised such rights, power or authority or made such decision or determination in such Shareholder's individual capacity.

    (b) The Shareholder Representative shall have no duties towards the Shareholders, and shall not incur any liability to the Shareholders, and the Shareholders shall have no claims, including those that may arise in the future, against the Shareholder Representative for any action or inaction taken or not taken by him in connection with his service as the Shareholder Representative, except to the extent that such action or inaction shall have been held by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute willful misconduct.

27

    (c) Each of the Shareholders hereby appoints Mark Stallings as the Shareholder Representative, and the Shareholder Representative hereby accepts such appointment.

ARTICLE X
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

    SECTION 10.1  Initial Meeting.  In the event that there is a dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such disputes promptly by negotiation between the parties. Any party may give the other parties written notice that a dispute exists (a "Notice of Dispute"). The Notice of Dispute shall include a statement of such party's position. Within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Notice of Dispute, the parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as long as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All documents and other information or data on which each party relies concerning the dispute shall be furnished or made available on reasonable terms to the other party at or before the first meeting of the parties as provided by this Section 10.1.

    SECTION 10.2  Mediation.  If the dispute has not been resolved by negotiation within thirty (30) days of the delivery of a Notice of Dispute, or if the parties have failed to meet within ten (10) days of the Notice of Dispute, the parties shall endeavor to settle the dispute by mediation under the then current CPR Model Mediation Procedure for Business Disputes. Unless otherwise agreed, the parties shall select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Neutrals and shall notify CPR to initiate the selection process.

    SECTION 10.3  Binding Arbitration.  Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any agreement or document in connection therewith, the breach, termination or validity thereof, or the transactions contemplated herein (including any question arising as to whether or not any dispute falls within the terms of this Section or the selection of arbitrators) if not settled by negotiation or mediation as provided in Section 10.1 and Section 10.2, shall be settled by arbitration in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in accordance with the CPR Rules for Non-Administrative Arbitration of Business Disputes by three arbitrators. Any party may initiate arbitration from and after 60 days following the delivery of a Notice of Dispute if the dispute has not then been settled by negotiation or mediation. The arbitrators shall be appointed by the parties as provided by CPR Rule 5, Selection of Arbitrators. The arbitration procedure shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-16, and the award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

    SECTION 10.4  Discovery.  Each party shall have discovery rights as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; provided, however, that all such discovery shall be commenced and concluded within ninety (90) days of the initiation of arbitration.

    SECTION 10.5  Expeditious Proceedings.  It is the intent of the parties that any arbitration shall be concluded as quickly as reasonably practicable. Unless the parties otherwise agree, once commenced, the hearing on the disputed matters shall be held four days a week until concluded, with each hearing date to begin at 9:00 a.m. and to conclude at 5:00 p.m. The arbitrators shall use all reasonable efforts to issue the final award or awards within a period of five (5) business days after closure of the proceedings. Failure of the arbitrators to meet the time limits of this Section 10.5 shall not be a basis for challenging the award.

    SECTION 10.6  Attorneys' Fees.  The arbitrators may instruct the non-prevailing party to pay all costs of the proceedings, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and the reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of the prevailing party, but only for the prevailing party that shall have complied with the provisions of Section 10.1 and Section 10.2 above. In the absence of such instruction, each party shall be instructed to bear its own costs and to pay its proportionate share of fees and expenses of the arbitrators.

    SECTION 10.7  Enforcement of Awards.  Each party agrees that any legal proceeding instituted to enforce an arbitration award hereunder will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction (either state or

28

federal) in Minneapolis, Minnesota and hereby submits to personal jurisdiction therein and irrevocably waives any objection as to venue therein, and further agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

    SECTION 10.8  Equitable Relief.  Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent any party from seeking equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain or prohibit any breach or threatened breach of any covenant of the parties set forth in this Agreement, whether or not the parties have first sought to resolve the dispute through negotiation, mediation or arbitration pursuant to this Article X.

Signatures delivered by facsimile shall be binding to the same extent as originals.

    SECTION 11.5  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Fusion Disclosure Schedule (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, except as set forth herein.

    SECTION 11.7  Other Remedies; Specific Performance.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
