PLAN OF MERGER adopted by resolution of the Board of Directors of American
Medical Response West, Inc., a business corporation organized under the laws of
the State of Colorado, on June 23, 1997, and adopted on June 20, 1997 by
resolution of the Board of Directors of International Life Support, Inc., a
business corporation organized under the laws of the State of Hawaii. The names
of the corporations planning to merge are American Medical Response West, Inc.,
a business corporation organized under the laws of the State of Colorado, and
International Life Support, Inc., a business corporation organized under the
laws of the State of Hawaii. The name of the surviving corporation to which
American Medical Response West, Inc. plans to merge is International Life
Support, Inc.

1. American Medical Response West, Inc. and International Life Support, Inc.,
shall, pursuant to the provisions of the State of Colorado and the provisions of
the Hawaii Business Corporation Act, be merged with and into a single
corporation, to wit, International Life Support, Inc., which shall be the
surviving corporation at the effective time and date of the merger and which is
sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "surviving corporation", and which
shall continue to exist as said surviving corporation under its present name
pursuant to the provisions of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act. The separate
existence of American Medical Response West, Inc., which is sometimes
hereinafter referred to as the "non-surviving corporation", shall cease at the
effective time and date of the merger in accordance with the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization.

2. The Articles of Incorporation of the surviving corporation at the effective
time and date of the merger shall be the Articles of Incorporation of said
surviving corporation; and said Articles of Incorporation shall continue in full
force and effect until amended and changed in the manner prescribed by the
provisions of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act.

5. Each issued share of the non-surviving corporation immediately prior to the
effective date of the merger shall, at the effective time and date of the
merger, be converted into one share of the surviving corporation. Each issued
share of common stock of International Life Support, Inc. outstanding

consideration divided by the number of shares of common stock of International
Life Support, Inc. outstanding at that time. The total merger consideration ($x)
will be divided by all of the shares of International Life Support, Inc.
outstanding immediately prior to the merger (y). Each share entitles its holder

the surviving corporation shall have been duly authorized in compliance with the
laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the non-surviving corporation, and
