2.1 Fixed Consideration. (i) In consideration of the Merger and the other obligations of Company and Stockholders as set forth in this Agreement, Parent shall pay or otherwise provide to Stockholders the following consideration (the “Purchase Price” or “Merger Consideration”):

(a) Closing Consideration. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Stockholders in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof: Fourteen Million Dollars (US$14,000,000), (the “Closing Merger Consideration”) payable in shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Series C Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) minus (A) the amount required to be paid under a senior secured promissory note in favor of Decathlon (the “Secured Note”) to be issued at closing by Parent in the amount of up to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), (B) the value of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to Decathalon pursuant to that certain Consent Agreement, dated as of even date with this Agreement, between Decathalon and the Company; (C) any other indebtedness of the Company, and (D) any Working Capital deficit of the Company, calculated at the Closing Date VWAP (the “Agreed Parent Share Price”). The Parent Series C Preferred shall have the rights, privileges and preferences as set forth in the form of the Series C Preferred Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1(a), (the “Certificate of Designation”) which Certificate of Designation Parent shall have filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada prior to the Closing Date and which shall be effective prior to the Closing, and shall be substantially equivalent to Common Stock in all respects other than the limitations on voting and conversion required in order to conform with, and shall automatically convert into Common Stock of Parent upon the approval of NASDAQ (the “NASDAQ Approval”), to the issuance of in excess of in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding Parent Common Stock in accordance with NASDAQ Rule 5635(d).

(b) Earn-Out Consideration. (i) Following the Closing Date, the Parent shall deliver to Stockholders in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(iii) hereof, additional shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”) as follows, calculated for Golden Eagle sales and service income (i.e., net revenues calculated in accordance with GAAP) received by the Company during the twenty-four month period beginning on the first day after the Closing Date (the “Earn-Out Period”) with a gross margin of at least 30% (“Qualified Sales”), as follows:

(ii) the Parent shall calculate the Qualified Sales for the Earn-Out Period and deliver such amount to the Stockholders within thirty (30) days of the end of the Earn-Out Period (the “Earn-Out Determination Date”). Unless a majority in interest of the Stockholders notify the Parent in writing (the “Qualified Sales Dispute Notice”) within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Qualified Sales amount that the Stockholders disagree with the Qualified Sales Amount, the Qualified Sales amount delivered to the Stockholders shall be conclusive and binding. The Qualified Sales Dispute Notice shall include reasonable details of the disagreement and the reasons therefor. In the event Stockholders provide the Parent with any Qualified Sales Dispute Notice, the Parent shall not be required to pay or issue any Earn-Out Shares pending resolution of such dispute. The Parent and the Stockholders shall attempt to resolve their differences with respect to the Qualified Sales within ten (10) business days after the Parent’s receipt of the Qualified Sales Dispute Notice. Any disputes regarding the Qualified Sales not resolved by the Parent and the Stockholders within such 10-day period will be resolved by a national accounting firm (the “Arbitrator Accounting Firm”). The Arbitrator Accounting Firm’s determination of the Qualified Sales amount shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator Accounting Firm in acting under this Section shall be borne by the party that the Arbitrator Accounting Firm determines to be least correct (in net dollar terms) in its determination of the Qualified Sales.

(iii) the Parent shall issue the Earn Out Shares within 30 days following either the Earn-Out Determination Date or the date of resolution of any dispute regarding Qualified Sales pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii) above, at the VWAP on the last day of the Earn- Out Period (the “Earn-Out Share Price”) that Qualified Sales equal or exceed the amounts set forth herein. Qualified Sales shall be determined on an aggregate basis achieved during the Earn-Out Period. For the absence of doubt only one payment shall be made for each level of Qualified Sales, for example, in the event the Qualified Sales are $20,000,000 within 9 months and $30,000,000 million at the end of the Earn-Out Period, a total payment of $10,000,000 in Shares shall be due to be paid in total. . Payment of the Earn-Out Shares shall be made to the Stockholders as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b).

(c) Working Capital Adjustment. The Company shall prepare and deliver to the Parent on the Closing Date a statement setting forth its calculation of estimated Closing Working Capital,) (the “Closing Statement”) and only items set forth in the Closing Statement shall be used to calculate the Closing Working Capital. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to Stockholders an updated Closing Statement setting forth its actual calculation of the Closing Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Final Closing Statement”). If the Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date is a positive number, the Purchase Price shall not be increased. If the Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date is a negative number, the Purchase Price shall be decreased dollar for dollar by the amount of the Working Capital Adjustment and shall be payable by Stockholders through a decrease in the Escrow Shares which shall be valued at the Agreed Parent Share Price. As used herein: “Closing Working Capital” means (a) Current Assets, less (b) Current Liabilities, determined as of the close of business on the Closing Date; “Current Assets” means the current assets of the Company on the Closing Date and “Current Liabilities” means the current liabilities of the Company, in each case in accordance with GAAP. Unless a majority in interest of the Stockholders notify Parent in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Final Closing Statement that Stockholders disagree with the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Final Closing Statement, the Closing Working Capital shall be conclusive and binding on Company, Stockholders, Purchaser and Parent. The Dispute Notice shall include reasonable details of the disagreement and the reasons therefor. In the event Stockholders provide Parent with any Dispute Notice, Stockholders shall not be required to pay the Parent with respect to the Working Capital Adjustment pending resolution of such dispute. Parent and Stockholders shall attempt to resolve their differences with respect to the Closing Working Capital within ten (10) business days after Parent’s receipt of the Dispute Notice. Any disputes regarding the Closing Working Capital not resolved by Parent and Stockholders within such 10-day period will be resolved by a national accounting firm (the “Working Capital Arbitrator Accounting Firm”). The Working Capital Arbitrator Accounting Firm’s determination of the Closing Working Capital shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses of the Working Capital Arbitrator Accounting Firm in acting under this Section shall be borne by the party that the Arbitrator Accounting Firm determines to be least correct (in net dollar terms) in its determination of the Closing Working Capital.

(d) NASDAQ Approval. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Purchase Price and Earn-Out Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 2.2 exceed 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company, as calculated on the Closing Date and the Earn-Out Date, prior to approval.

(e) Escrow Shares. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent Fifteen (15%) percent of the Stock Consideration (the “Escrow Shares”) to be held in escrow in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(a) Procedures for Surrender. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Parent shall cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that represented Shares (the “Certificates”) or non- certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), in each case, which Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (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 delivery of the Certificates to the Transfer Agent, and shall otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as the Purchaser or the Transfer Agent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration.

Any Certificates and Book- Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If issuance of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered and shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. Issuance of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(b) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(c) Withholding Rights. Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation and the Transfer Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise issuable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts that Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Transfer Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Transfer 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, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof; provided, however, that the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners 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 Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Transfer Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(e) Transfer Taxes. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to any Person other than the registered owner of the applicable Shares the amount of any Transfer Taxes (whether imposed on the registered owner or such other Person) payable on account of the transfer will be deducted from the amount of Merger Consideration to be issued to such Person, unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such Transfer Taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted to the Purchaser.

2.4 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and in respect of which appraisal rights shall have been perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL in connection with the Merger (collectively, “Dissenting Shares”) shall be converted into a right to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the holder of such Dissenting Shares as provided in Section 2.2, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to the DGCL). In the event that any holder of Shares fails to make an effective demand for payment or fails to perfect its appraisal rights as to its Shares or any Dissenting Shares shall otherwise lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.2 in respect of such Shares as if such Shares had never been Dissenting Shares, in accordance with and following the satisfaction of the applicable requirements and conditions set forth in Section 2.3. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice (and in no event more than two Business Days) of (i) any demand received by the Company for appraisal of Shares (and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand) or (ii) any notice of exercise by any holder of Shares of appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL. The Company agrees that, except with Parent’s prior written consent, it shall not voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal or exercise of appraisal rights.

(ii) The parties hereby acknowledge that the 2015 Equity Company’s 2015 Plan shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to any awards thereunder or the right to receive any shares or awards of Company stock immediately prior to the Effective Time. No vested awards shall be continued following the Effective Time and any unvested awards shall not be subject to any vesting and shall be cancelled.

(iii)   The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take (or cause to be taken) any and all action, and shall obtain all such consents, as may be necessary to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(a).

(i)   Each Share that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, is subject to a risk of forfeiture, a right of repurchase in favor of the Company, or to restrictions on transfers under the applicable award agreement or Benefit Plan, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under any Contract, instrument or plan set forth in Section 3.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (each, a “Restricted Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, as provided in Section 2.1(a), such Merger Consideration to be paid to the holder of such Restricted Share in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable to such Restricted Share, in each case subject to all applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law. The Company shall obtain, prior to the Closing, the consent from each holder of a Restricted Share to the amendment of the terms governing such Restricted Share to permit the treatment set forth in this Section 2.4(b)(i) (unless such consent is not required under the terms of the applicable Contract, instrument or plan).

(ii) At the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units with respect to Company Common Stock (“Company RSUs”) shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to any awards thereunder or the right to receive any shares or awards of Company stock immediately prior to the Effective Time. No vested awards shall be continued following the Effective Time and any unvested awards shall not be subject to any vesting and shall be cancelled.

(iii)   The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take (or cause to be taken) any and all action, and shall obtain all such consents, as may be necessary to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(b).

(i)   At the Effective Time, each Company Warrant that has not otherwise been exercised or expired shall be terminated immediately upon the Effective Time. Neither the Surviving Corporation nor Parent shall assume any Company Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then exercisable. Following the Effective Time, no Company Warrant shall remain outstanding and, except as set forth in the preceding sentence, no holder of a Company Warrant shall have the right to receive any consideration from the Company, Parent or the Surviving Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of such Company Warrant or otherwise in respect thereof.

(ii) The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take (or cause to be taken) any and all action, and shall obtain all such consents, as may be necessary to cause the holders of all Company Warrants that have not otherwise been exercised or expired prior to the Effective Time to agree to the treatment set forth in this Section 2.4(c) (including, without limitation, providing any notices required under the Contracts relating to such Company Warrants regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement).

Each Stockholder hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, as of the Closing Date to the Purchaser and the Parent as follows:

3.1. Stock Ownership by Stockholder. The Stockholder has good title to, and is the sole record and beneficial owner of, the Shares set forth Opposite Stockholder’s name on Schedule 2.1 and the Shares owned by the Stockholder are free and clear of any and all Encumbrances. The Stockholder is not a party to any voting trusts, Stockholder agreements, proxies or other agreements or understandings in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any of the Shares owned by the Stockholder other than such which will terminate upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.2. Authorization; Enforceability. If the Stockholder is an entity, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder and the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or other company action on the part of the Stockholder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Purchaser and Parent, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws, or by equitable principles relating to the rights of creditors generally.

3.5. No Conflict; Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder does not and will not (i) if the Stockholder is an entity, violate, conflict with or result in the breach of any provision of the charter or by-laws or other organizational documents of the Stockholder, (ii) conflict with or violate in any material respect any Law or Order applicable to the Stockholder, or (iii) result in the creation of any Encumbrance on any of the Shares owned by the Stockholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, permit, lease, sublease or other Contract to which the Stockholder is a party or by which any of the Shares owned by the Stockholder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder does not and will not require any Approval or Order of any Governmental Entity.

3.6. Additional Stockholder Representations. (a) Stockholder represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act and that the Stockholder is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Parent Shares. Stockholder hereby acknowledges and represents that (i) Stockholder has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered and/or not traded on a national securities exchange or the Stockholder has employed the services of a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Parent to the Stockholder to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Stockholder’s behalf; (ii) the Stockholder recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment; and (iii) the Stockholder is able to bear the economic risk that the Stockholder hereby assumes.

(b)  Stockholder understands that the Parent Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon Stockholder’s investment intention. In connection with the foregoing, Stockholder hereby represents that the Stockholder is purchasing the Parent Shares for the Stockholder’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others. The Stockholder, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Parent Shares. Stockholder understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Parent Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws.

Each party hereto will (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such request, inquiry, objection, charge or other Action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which shall include litigating or contesting any such Action or Order to a final, non- appealable decision, (subject in all respects to the provisions regarding the Outside Date set forth in Section 1.1(e) and Section 7.1(k)) so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) consult and cooperate with the other parties and consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any filing, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such cooperation shall include consultation with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any Action by a Third Party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other applicable Governmental Entity or other Person, providing the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement (but subject in all respects to Section 5.1), (i) nothing in this Section 5.5 shall limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article 7 hereof and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Parent, the Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates to agree to (and the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent): (A) sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of its business, assets or properties, or conduct its business in a specified manner, (B) pay any amounts (other than the payment of filing fees and expenses and fees of counsel), or grant any counterparty to any Contract any material accommodation, (C) limit in any manner whatsoever the ability of such entities to conduct, own, operate or control any of their respective businesses, assets or properties or of the businesses, properties or assets of the Company or (D) waive any of the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

5.6 Certain Notices. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party hereto of (a) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would reasonably be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied or (b) the failure of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not cure any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

5.7 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint release mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, none of the parties shall (and each of the parties shall cause its representatives and affiliates, if applicable, not to) issue any press release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written consent of (a) the Company, in the event the disclosing party is Parent, the Purchaser, any of its affiliates or any Parent Representative, or (b) Parent, in the event the disclosing party is the Company, or any Company Representative, in each case, with such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld; provided, however, that (i) if a party determines, based upon advice of counsel, that a press release or public announcement is required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable stock exchange, such party may make such press release or public announcement, in which case the disclosing party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other parties reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, (ii) this Section 5.7 shall terminate upon a Adverse Recommendation Change and (iii) each of the parties may make public statements in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are not materially inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by Parent and the Company and do not reveal material, non-public information regarding the other parties, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.8 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) Parent and the Surviving Corporation agree that all rights of indemnification, exculpation and limitation of liabilities existing in favor of past and present directors and officers of the Company as provided in the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or under any indemnification, employment or other similar Contracts between such past and present directors and officers of the Company and the Company, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement with respect to acts or omissions in their capacity as directors or officers occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms (unless otherwise required by applicable Law). From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay and perform in a timely manner such indemnification obligations. Subject to Section 5.8(c), for a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, exculpation, and advancement of expenses of directors and officers than are currently set forth in the Company Charter and the Company Bylaws (unless otherwise required by applicable Law).

(b) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation/Parent shall maintain for the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers, as of the Effective Time, an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the Company’s existing policy (accurate and complete copies of which have been previously provided to Parent) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement, which premium the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth on Section 5.8(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies are obtained by Parent prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such directors and officers with substantially equivalent coverage for an aggregate period of six years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, without limitation, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8.

(d) The obligations under this Section 5.8 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect in any material respect any indemnitee to whom this Section 5.8 applies without the consent of such affected indemnitee, subject to applicable Law (it being expressly agreed that the indemnitees to whom this Section 5.8 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8).

5.9 State Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Statute becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent or the Purchaser, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the Merger, including the acquisition of Shares pursuant thereto, or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then the Company Board shall take all action necessary to render such Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

5.10 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC so that the disposition by any officer or director of the Company who is a “covered person” of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (“Section 16”) of Shares or Company Options pursuant to this Agreement, and the Merger, shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16.

5.11 Employees.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the right of Parent or any of its affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) to terminate the employment of any employee after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 5.11 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no employee or former employee of the Company or any other individual associated therewith or any Benefit Plan or trustee thereof shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment or other modification of any Benefit Plan for any purpose. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any right to any particular term or condition of employment or limit the right of Parent or any of its affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) to amend or terminate or otherwise modify any Benefit Plan following the Effective Time.

5.12 Benefit Plans. Effective as of the day prior to the Effective Time, the Company will terminate any and all Benefit Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, and effective as of the day immediately prior to the Effective Time no employee of the Company shall have any right thereafter to contribute any amounts to any Benefit Plan intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code. At the request of Parent, the Company will provide Parent with evidence that each such Benefit Plan has been terminated effective as of the day immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Company Board. In addition, at the request of Parent, the Company and each Company Subsidiary will terminate any and all other Benefit Plans, including any group health, dental, severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements, effective either the day immediately prior to the Effective Time or thereafter as specified by Parent and, at the request of Parent, the Company will provide Parent with evidence that such Benefit Plans have been so terminated pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Company Board. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Benefit Plans as Parent may reasonably require.
