THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER is dated January 20, 2006, by and among Dauphin Technology, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Dauphin”), GeoVax Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Dauphin (“Merger Subsidiary”), and GeoVax, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“GeoVax”).

RECITALS

The Boards of Directors for GeoVax, Dauphin and Merger Subsidiary, have approved the merger of the Merger Subsidiary with and into GeoVax (the “Merger”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

As a result of the Merger, GeoVax will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dauphin, and the shareholders of GeoVax will, in the aggregate, own a majority of the outstanding shares of Dauphin common stock immediately following the Effective Time of the Merger.

For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and (a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined and attached in Exhibit “A.”

AGREEMENT:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER; CONVERSION OF SHARES

1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), the Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into GeoVax in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Georgia Annotated (the “Georgia Act”), whereupon the separate corporate existence of the Merger Subsidiary will cease, and GeoVax will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will possess all the rights, privileges, powers, and franchises and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities, and duties of GeoVax and Merger Subsidiary, all as more fully described in the Georgia Act.

1.2 Effective Time. As soon as practicable after each of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 have been satisfied or waived, GeoVax and Merger Subsidiary will file, or cause to be filed, with the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, Articles of Merger for the Merger, in the form required by, and executed in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Georgia Act. The Merger will become effective at the time of the filing or, if agreed to by Dauphin and GeoVax, such later time or date set forth in the Articles of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Conversion of Interests. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, and without any action on the part of GeoVax and/or the Merger Subsidiary:

(a) All of the shares of GeoVax Common Stock (“GeoVax Common Stock”) and all of the shares of GeoVax preferred stock (“GeoVax Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for GeoVax Common Stock and GeoVax Preferred Stock owned by dissenting shareholders of GeoVax) will be converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 490,332,879 shares common stock of Dauphin, par value $.001 per share (“Dauphin Shares”). The Dauphin Shares into which shares of GeoVax Common Stock and GeoVax Preferred Stock are converted as a result of the Merger are referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration”. As a result of the Merger, each share of GeoVax Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive 29.2832 Dauphin Shares and each share of GeoVax Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive 29.2832 Dauphin Shares.

(b) All stock options, warrants, convertible debt, other convertible securities, or other rights to acquire shares of GeoVax (collectively the “GeoVax Convertible Securities”) outstanding at the Effective Time, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested (all of which are listed on Schedule1.3(b) hereto), shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time but shall be assumed by Dauphin. GeoVax Convertible Securities shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in the underlying Convertible Securities documents, but will be convertible into Dauphin Shares as described on Schedule 1.3(b). At the time of Closing, the number of GeoVax Convertible Securities shall not exceed 1,355,000.

(d) Each share of Merger Subsidiary common stock, par value $.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be canceled as of the Effective Time.

1.4 Exchange of GeoVax Stock.

(a) At the Closing, GeoVax will arrange for each holder of record (“GeoVax Shareholder”) of GeoVax Common Stock and GeoVax Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to deliver to Dauphin appropriate evidence of such GeoVax Shareholder’s shares (“GeoVax Certificates”), together with an appropriate assignment signed by the GeoVax Shareholder, in exchange for the number of whole Dauphin Shares into which such GeoVax Shares have been converted as provided in Section 1.3(a), and the surrendered GeoVax Certificate(s) will be canceled.

(b) All Dauphin Shares issued upon the surrender and exchange of shares of GeoVax Common Stock and GeoVax Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such GeoVax Stock.

(c) As of the Effective Time, the holders of shares of GeoVax Common Stock and GeoVax Preferred Stock will cease to have any rights as shareholders of GeoVax, except for those rights, if any, that they may have pursuant to the Georgia Act. Except as provided in Section 1.8 of this Agreement, until such GeoVax Certificates are surrendered for exchange, each GeoVax Certificate will, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive certificates representing the number of whole Dauphin Shares into which GeoVax Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to the Merger as provided in Section 1.3(a).

(d) No fractional Dauphin Shares will be issued in the Merger. Any fractional share otherwise required as Merger Consideration will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

(e) Immediately prior to Closing, Dauphin will have no more than 243,000,000 shares of Dauphin common stock outstanding. Immediately prior to the Closing Dauphin will have no more than 12,000,000 Dauphin Convertible Securities issued and outstanding. Immediately after the Closing, there will be approximately 733,332,879 shares of Dauphin Stock issued and outstanding, not including any shares issuable in connection with the GeoVax’s Convertible Securities or the Dauphin Convertible Securities.

1.5 Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation. The Articles of Incorporation of GeoVax in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The bylaws of GeoVax in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until such time as they are amended in accordance with applicable law.

1.7 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation and Dauphin.

(a) Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The directors and officers of GeoVax, as of the Effective Time, shall continue as the directors of the Surviving Corporation.

Prior to the Effective Time, Dauphin shall amend its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to GeoVax Labs, Inc., and to increase its authorized capital stock from 100,000,000 to 850,000,000 shares pursuant to all applicable Legal Requirements. The Articles of Amendment to be filed pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.

1.10 Dauphin Securities and Dauphin Convertible Securities. Schedule 1.10 attached hereto describes all Dauphin securities, debts and other interests that are to be converted into Dauphin Common Stock prior to or at the Closing. Schedule 1.10 also describes all Dauphin stock purchase warrants (the “Dauphin Convertible Securities”) that will not be converted prior to Closing but that will remain issued and outstanding according to their current terms and conditions. In addition to any shares of Dauphin Common Stock to be issued prior to closing as described in Schedule 1.10, Dauphin may also issue up to 23,000,000 shares or rights to acquire shares of Dauphin Common Stock prior to Closing in consideration of consulting agreements or other agreements to provide services to Dauphin either prior to or after the Closing.

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, at the time of Closing, exclusive of any Dauphin securities to be issued in the Merger, the number of shares of Dauphin Common Stock shall not exceed 243,000,000 and the number of Dauphin Convertible Securities shall not exceed 12,000,000.

5.29 Internal Accounting Controls. Except as described in Dauphin’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, since December 31, 2004, Dauphin has maintained a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Dauphin has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for Dauphin and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Dauphin is made known to the certifying officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which Dauphin's Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared.

Dauphin's certifying officer has evaluated the effectiveness of Dauphin's controls and procedures as of end of the filing period prior to the filing date of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 (the “Evaluation Date”). Dauphin presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K, or Form 10-Q, the conclusions of the certifying officer about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on his evaluation as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in Dauphin's internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls.

Dauphin is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such quoting, listing, and maintenance requirements.

5.31 Application of Takeover Protections. Dauphin and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under Dauphin's certificate or articles of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is, or could become, applicable to GeoVax, or the GeoVax Shareholders, as a result of the Merger or the exercise of any rights by GeoVax, or the GeoVax Shareholders, pursuant to this Agreement.
