By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of JTS, Atari or the holders of any of the following securities: (a) Conversion of Atari Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Atari Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Atari Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(b)) will be canceled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to receive one (1) share of JTS Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio"). (b) Cancellation of Certain Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Atari Common Stock owned by JTS or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of JTS immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof. (c) Atari Stock Options. At the Effective Time, all options to purchase Atari Common Stock then outstanding under the Atari Amended 1986 Stock Option Plan (the "Atari Stock Option Plan") shall be assumed by JTS in accordance with Section 5.11. (d) Atari Debentures. At the Effective Time, JTS shall assume all obligations of Atari under Atari's 5 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2002 (the "Atari Debentures"), and such debentures shall be convertible into shares of JTS Common Stock in accordance with Section 5.12. (e) Federated Debentures. To the extent required by that certain Indenture dated as of April 15, 1985 from the The Federated Group, Inc. to Security Pacific National Bank, as trustee, together with the first supplemental indenture thereto dated as of September 24, 1987, at the Effective Time, JTS shall assume any obligations of Atari under the 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due April 15, 2010 of The Federated Group, Inc.

The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Atari Common Stock or JTS Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with 2 <PAGE> 9 respect to Atari Common Stock, JTS Common Stock or JTS Series A Preferred Stock, $.000001 par value ("JTS Series A Preferred Stock"), occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. (g) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of JTS Common Stock will be issued, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Atari Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of JTS Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of JTS Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall receive from JTS an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the closing price of a share of Atari Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time, as reported by the American Stock Exchange. 1.7 Surrender of Certificates. (a) Exchange Agent. Registrar and Transfer Company, Cranford, NJ, shall act as exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") in the Merger. (b) JTS to Provide Common Stock and Cash. Promptly after the Effective Time, JTS shall make available to the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I, through such procedures as JTS may reasonably adopt, (i) the shares of JTS Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) in exchange for shares of Atari Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) cash in an amount sufficient to permit payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(g). (c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Atari Common Stock, whose shares were converted into the right to receive shares of JTS Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) pursuant to Section 1.6, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon receipt of the Certificates by the Exchange Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as JTS may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of JTS Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by JTS, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of JTS Common Stock and payment in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.6, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Atari Common Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, other than the payment of dividends, to evidence the ownership of the number of full shares of JTS Common Stock into which such shares of Atari Common Stock shall have been so converted and the right to receive an amount in cash in lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6. (d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to JTS 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 JTS 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 of the certificates representing whole shares of JTS Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable (but for the provisions of this Section 1.7(d)) with respect to such shares of JTS Common Stock. (e) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of JTS 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 the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to JTS or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of JTS 3 <PAGE> 10 Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of JTS or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable. (f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7, none of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. 1.8 No Further Ownership Rights in Atari Stock. All shares of JTS Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Atari Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Atari Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Atari Common Stock which 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. 1.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of JTS Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6; provided, however, that JTS 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 sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against JTS, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. 1.10 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. 1.11 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 Atari, the officers and directors of Atari are fully authorized in the name of the corporation or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement. 1.12 Dissenting JTS Shares. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of JTS Common Stock or JTS Series A Preferred Stock held by a holder who has exercised dissenters' rights for such shares in accordance with Delaware Law or California General Corporation Law to the extent such law is applicable by virtue of Section 2115 thereof ("California Law") and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such dissenters' rights ("Dissenting Shares"), shall be entitled to such rights as are granted by Delaware Law or California Law. (b) JTS shall give Atari (i) prompt notice of any written demands received by JTS for an appraisal of shares of capital stock of JTS pursuant to Section 262 of Delaware Law or Chapter 13 of California Law, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law or California Law and received by JTS and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. JTS shall not, except with the prior written consent of Atari, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
