                  Business Corporations Act, be merged with and into a single

                  provisions of the District of Columbia Business Corporation
                  Act. The separate existence of Magicsports, which is
                  sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "terminating
                  corporation," shall cease upon the effective date of the
                  merger in accordance with the provisions of the said District
                  of Columbia Business Corporation Act.

         2.       The Articles of Incorporation of Magicsports as of the
                  effective date of the merger shall be in the Articles of
                  Incorporation of the surviving corporation and shall continue
                  in full force and effect until sooner amended or changed as

                  Business Corporation Act.

         3.       The bylaws of Magicsports upon the effective date of the
                  merger will be the bylaws of the surviving corporation and
                  will continue in full force and effect until changed, altered
                  or amended as therein provided and in the manner prescribed
                  by the provisions of the District of Columbia Business
                  Corporation Act.

                  effective date of the merger shall be the members of the
                  first Board of Directors and the first officers of the
                  surviving corporation, all of whom shall hold their
                  directorships and offices until the election and
                  qualification of their respective successors or until their
                  tenure is otherwise terminated in accordance with the bylaws
                  of the surviving corporation.

         5.       Each issued and outstanding share of the terminating
                  corporation shall, upon the effective date of the merger, be
                  converted in one share of the surviving corporation. The
                  issued shares of the surviving corporation shall not be
                  converted 




                  in any manner, but each said share which is issued as of the
                  effective date of the merger shall continue to represent one
                  issued share of the surviving corporation.

         6.       The Plan of Merger herein made and approved was submitted to
                  the sole shareholder of the terminating corporation and the
                  sole shareholder of the surviving corporation for their
                  approval in the manner prescribed by the provisions of the
                  District of Columbia Business Corporation Act.

         7.       The terminating corporation and the surviving corporation
                  hereby stipulate that they will cause to be executed and
                  filed and/or recorded any document or documents prescribed by
                  the laws of the District of Columbia, and that they will
                  cause to be performed all necessary acts therein and
                  elsewhere to effectuate the merger.

         8.       The Board of Directors and the proper officers of the
                  terminating corporation and of the surviving corporation,
                  respectively, are hereby authorized, empowered and directed
                  to do any and all acts and things, and to make, execute,

                  and documents which shall be or become necessary, proper or
                  convenient to carry out or put into effect any of the
                  provisions of this Plan of Merger or of the merger herein
                  provided for.
