1.1 The Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the FBCA, at the Effective Time, the Company and Merger Sub shall consummate the Merger pursuant to which

(i) Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, (ii) the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger and shall be governed by the FBCA and (iii) the separate corporate existence of the Company, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger. The corporation surviving the Merger is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.” The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the FBCA.

(b) At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to read the same as the articles of incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that as of the Effective Time the articles of incorporation shall provide that the name of the Surviving Corporation is “Xxxxx.xxx, Inc.,” and as so amended shall be the amended and restated articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read the same as the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein, by the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation or by applicable Law.

1.2 Effective Time. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause the articles of merger or other appropriate documents to be duly executed and filed in accordance with the FBCA (the “Articles of Merger”) and at the Effective Time (or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree) with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida, and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the FBCA. The Merger shall become effective at the time the Articles of Merger shall have been duly filed with, and accepted by, the Secretary of State of the State of Florida or such later date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Articles of Merger, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.”

1.3 Closing. Subject to the provisions of Article VII, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, as promptly as possible, but in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, LLP, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, X.X., 0000 Xxxxxxx Financial Center, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, on the Closing Date, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company.

The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, from and after the Effective Time, shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and applicable Laws.

ARTICLE II

Merger Consideration; Conversion of Stock

2.1 Conversion of Company Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, par value $0.001 per share, with the same rights, powers and preferences as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Parent-Owned, Merger Sub-Owned and Company-Owned Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock that is owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, or by any wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no cash, stock or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(i) Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall automatically be converted into the right to receive Parent Common Stock in an amount equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Portion, if any, of the Common Stock Consideration less the Common Stock Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii), (e) and (f), as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, provided, however, that no fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall be entitled to receive from Parent such holder’s portion of the Fractional Share Amount (in the aggregate, all such amounts being less than or equal to the Fractional Share Cap). If the aggregate payments in lieu of fractional shares would otherwise exceed the Fractional Share Cap, the amount paid for each fractional share shall be reduced ratably such that the Fractional Share Cap is not exceeded. As of the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a “Certificate”) or book-entry shares (“Book-Entry Shares”) representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except, in all cases, the right to receive (other than with respect to Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) the Common Stock Consideration and Fractional Share Consideration (if applicable), without interest, upon surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.3. The right of any holder of any share of Company Common Stock to receive the Common Stock Consideration or Fractional Share Consideration (if applicable) shall be subject to and reduced by the amount of any withholding that is required under applicable Law relating to Taxes.

(ii) Company Preferred Stock. All shares of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into the right to receive (A) cash in the aggregate amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) (the “Preferred Cash Consideration”), to be paid in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof; and (B) Parent Common Stock in an amount equal to the Preferred Stock Percentage multiplied by the Common Stock Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable thereon shall be deemed satisfied and paid; provided, however, that no fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof, each holder of shares of Company Preferred Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall be entitled to receive from Parent such holder’s portion of the Fractional Share Amount (in the aggregate, all such amounts being less than or equal to the Fractional Share Cap). If the aggregate payments in lieu of fractional shares would otherwise exceed the Fractional Share Cap, the amount paid for each fractional share shall be reduced ratably such that the Fractional Share Cap is not exceeded. As of the Effective Time, all shares of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares representing any such shares of Company Preferred Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except, in all cases, the right to receive the Common Stock Consideration and Fractional Share Consideration (if applicable), without interest, upon surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry

Shares in accordance with Section 2.3. The right of any holder of any share of Company Preferred Stock to receive the Common Stock Consideration or Fractional Share Consideration (if applicable) shall be subject to and reduced by the amount of any withholding that is required under applicable Law relating to Taxes.

(d) Company Stock Options. The Company shall take all requisite action so that at the Effective Time, Parent shall assume no Company Stock Options and each outstanding qualified or nonqualified option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (“Company Stock Options”) under any employee equity incentive plan or arrangement of the Company (“Company Equity Incentive Plans”) that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall automatically be cancelled.

(e) Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party, the warrant for the purchase of 2,083,333 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Exchanged Warrant”) shall be cancelled, exchanged for and converted into the right to receive such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the Warrant Percentage multiplied by the Common Stock Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, provided, however, that no fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof, the holder of such warrant, who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder), shall be entitled to receive from Parent such holder’s portion of the Fractional Share Amount (in the aggregate, all such amounts being less than or equal to the Fractional Share Cap). If the aggregate payments in lieu of fractional shares would otherwise exceed the Fractional Share Cap, the amount paid for each fractional share shall be reduced ratably such that the Fractional Share Cap is not exceeded. At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume no Company Warrants and each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Warrants”) other than the Exchanged Warrant that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall automatically be cancelled.

(f) Company Note; Other Company Securities and Company Subsidiary Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party, the Original Company Note shall be cancelled, exchanged for and converted into (A) the Company Note; and (B) the right to receive such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the Note Percentage multiplied by the Common Stock Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, provided, however, that no fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof, the holder of such warrant, who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder), shall be entitled to receive from Parent such holder’s portion of the Fractional Share Amount (in the aggregate, all such amounts being less than or equal to the Fractional Share Cap). If the aggregate payments in lieu of fractional shares would otherwise exceed the Fractional Share Cap, the amount paid for each fractional share shall be reduced ratably such that the Fractional Share Cap is not exceeded. Without limiting the foregoing Sections 2.1(c) through 2.1(e), at the Effective Time, Parent shall assume no other Company Securities or Company Subsidiary Securities (if any) other than the Company Note (collectively, the “Other Company Securities”), and all such Other Company Securities shall automatically be cancelled and, for the avoidance of doubt, should any Other Company Security be exercised to acquire shares of Company Common Stock prior to the Effective Time (whether or not contingent upon the Closing), such Other Company Security shall not be subject to this Section 2.1(f), but shall instead be deemed shares of Company Common Stock and governed by Section 2.1(c).

(g) Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall change into a different number of shares or a different class (including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period), the allocation of the Common Stock Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted.

(h) Company Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such actions, if any, as are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.1.

2.2 Cash Consideration for Shares of Company Preferred Stock.

Within one (1) Business Day following the Closing, the Parent shall pay, or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Preferred Cash Consideration to the Preferred Holder in accordance with the wire transfer instructions provided by the Preferred Holder two days prior to Closing, provided that the Articles of Merger effecting the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be filed with the Secretary of State of Florida until the Preferred Holder shall have received a federal reference number from Parent evidencing the wire transfer of the Preferred Cash Consideration in accordance with the wire transfer instructions provided by such Preferred Holder.

2.3 Disposition of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Deposits to Exchange Agent and the Company. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company (reasonably acceptable to the Company) to act as Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent”) and enter into an agreement with the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) for the payment of the Common Stock Consideration and the Fractional Share Consideration in exchange for all Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing all shares of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for payment in accordance with Section 2.1, the Common Stock Consideration and the Fractional Share Consideration, (collectively, the “Payment Fund”) in exchange for all Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing all shares of Company Common Stock. The Exchange Agent shall make payments out of the Payment Fund in accordance with this Agreement and the Exchange Agent Agreement, and shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Stock Transfer Books. 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 the Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing ownership of the Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have rights with respect to such Company Common Stock, except as otherwise provided for herein. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason (other than Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Common Stock Consideration or Fractional Share Consideration, as applicable.

(c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (but not more than three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) (I) a Letter of Transmittal, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the parties hereto (a “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass to the Exchange Agent, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which letter shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (II) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled. Upon surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Shares for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents reasonably satisfactory to the Company as may be appointed by Parent, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of Parent Common Stock and

cash in an amount equal to the Fractional Share Amount (if applicable) in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer (or an “agent’s message” or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request with respect to Book-Entry Shares) and the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(d) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund which remains undistributed for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock prior to the Effective Time who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent and only as general creditors thereof for payment of the Common Stock Consideration and Fractional Shares Consideration, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock two years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Exchange Agent, or any employee, officer, director, agent or Affiliate thereof, shall be liable to any Person in respect of the Common Stock Consideration or Fractional Share Consideration, as applicable, from the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as the Surviving Corporation may reasonably require, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Stock and Company Preferred Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with, the procedures set forth in this Article II.

2.4 Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provisions contained herein to the contrary each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Law relating to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, such withheld 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 by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent.

2.5 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares under Section 607.1302 et seq. of the FBCA (the “Appraisal Rights”, and such shares referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s Appraisal Rights) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Common Stock Consideration or Fractional Share Consideration, as applicable. Such holders shall be entitled to receive such consideration as is determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the FBCA; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under the Appraisal Rights, then the right of such holder to be paid such consideration as is determined to be due pursuant to Section 607.1302 et seq. of the FBCA shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, the applicable Common Stock Consideration or Fractional Share Consideration, without interest. The Company shall provide Parent (a) prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice, instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the FBCA that relate to such demand, and (b) Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands and the exercise of Appraisal Rights under applicable Law. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, or to the extent required by applicable Law, the Company shall not take any action with respect to such demands (including making any payment with respect to, or offering to settle or settling or approving any withdrawal of, any such demands).

2.6 Tax and Accounting Consequences.

The parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). The parties intend for the transactions contemplated under this Agreement will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code. Each party has consulted with its own tax advisors and accountants with respect to the tax and accounting consequences, respectively, of, the Merger. Parent and the Company shall cooperate in causing the Merger to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Code Section 368(a) and shall treat the Merger as such a reorganization for all Tax purposes, including the reporting of the Merger as qualifying as such a reorganization on all relevant federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns. The parties covenant and agree that they each shall not take any action that reasonably could be expected to jeopardize the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code, and the parties shall not take any position on any Tax Return or in any proceeding relating to the Tax consequences of the Merger inconsistent with this Section 2.7. Parent and the Company each agree that in the event such party becomes aware of any such fact or circumstance that is reasonably likely to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization described in section 368(a) of the Code, it will promptly notify the other party in writing.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties of the Company

(b) Except as set forth in Section 4.13(b) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, Parent and the Subsidiaries of Parent have good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all property and assets reflected on the Parent Balance Sheet, or acquired after the Parent Balance Sheet Date, except as have been disposed of since the Parent Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, subject to no Encumbrances.

There is no claim by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent pending under any such policies which (a) has been denied or disputed by the insurer or (b) if not paid would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect, all premiums due and payable thereon have been paid, and no written notice of cancellation or termination has been received by the Company with respect to any such policy which has not been replaced on substantially similar terms prior to the date of such cancellation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, but not after, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board determines that such Company Adverse Recommendation Change is required in order for the Company Board to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the holders of Company Stock under applicable Law. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company shall not be entitled to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless (x) the Company has given Parent at least two Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal), and (y) Parent does not make, within two Business Days after receipt of the notice provided for in clause (x) of this sentence, a proposal that would, in the good faith determination of the Company Board cause the Takeover Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall prohibit the Company Board from taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to do so would violate applicable Law.

(f) As used in this Agreement, “Takeover Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) or “group”, within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, relating to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, any (i) acquisition, sale, lease, exchange, transfer, license or disposition of assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries equal to more than 20% of the Company’s consolidated assets or to which more than 20% of the Company’s revenues or earnings on a consolidated basis are attributable, (ii) acquisition of more than 20% of the outstanding Company Stock, (iii) tender offer (including a self-tender) or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning more than 20% of the outstanding Company Stock, (iv) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or (v) any combination of the foregoing types of transactions, if the sum of the percentage of consolidated assets, consolidated revenues or earnings and Company Stock involved is more than 20%; in each case, other than the Transaction.

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Takeover Proposal made to the Company and not withdrawn that the Company Board has determined in its good faith judgment is a Superior Proposal and is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, and if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the holders of Company Common Stock from a financial point of view than the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such proposal or otherwise), provided that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the references to “20%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

6.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, (i) furnish Parent with such financial and operating data and other non-privileged information with respect to the business, properties and personnel of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as Parent may from time to time reasonably request, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate reasonable access for Parent and its authorized representatives (including counsel, financial advisors and auditors) during normal business hours, and upon reasonable advance notice, to the Company’s offices and properties; provided, that all such access shall be coordinated through the Company or its designated representatives, in accordance with such reasonable procedures as they may establish.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold in confidence all such information on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in that certain confidentiality agreement between Parent and the Company dated December 10, 2011 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

6.7 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall bind a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy providing “tail” coverage (which policy may be a continuation or extension of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy) for each present or former director and officer of the Company (the “Company Indemnified Parties”), in an amount and scope at least as favorable to such persons as the Company’s existing coverage and with a period of coverage of not less than six years.] The provisions of this Section 6.7 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current officers and directors of the Company by Legal Requirement, charter, bylaw or contractual obligation, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Company Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives. Parent and Merger Sub hereby agree that all rights in existence under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws in effect on the date of this Agreement regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification and exculpation of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses to them shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and shall not be modified or amended in a manner adverse to any such person for a period of six years from the Effective Time, it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall

require any amendment to the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation. If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or the Surviving Corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

6.8 Public Announcements. The Company and Parent shall (unless and until a Company Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred) consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the Merger and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party, issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by Law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange or quotation system if the party issuing such press release or making such public statement has used its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party and to obtain such party’s consent but has been unable to do so in a timely manner. In this regard, the parties shall make a joint public announcement of this Agreement and the Transaction contemplated hereby no later than the opening of trading on the Nasdaq on the Business Day following the date on which this Agreement is signed. Except as may be required by applicable Law or any existing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association, the Company shall not disclose, disseminate or file, including with the SEC or Nasdaq, the Company Disclosure Schedule without the consent of Parent, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

6.9 Adoption by Parent. Promptly after receipt of Stockholder Approval from the Company’s stockholders, Parent shall take all requisite action to adopt this Agreement in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub.

6.10 No Ownership; Acquisition of Capital Stock. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, is the beneficial owner of any shares of Company Common Stock. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, from and after the date hereof and prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement shall acquire, directly or indirectly, any shares of Company Common Stock.

6.11 Tax Matters.

(a) From the date hereof until the Effective Time, except as set forth in Section 6.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall make or change any material Tax election, change any annual tax accounting period, adopt or change any method of tax accounting, file any material amended Tax Returns or claims for material Tax refunds, enter into any material closing agreement, surrender any material Tax claim, audit or assessment, surrender any right to claim a material Tax refund, offset or other reduction in Tax liability, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitations period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment or take or omit to take any other action, if any such action or omission would have the effect of materially increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries.

(b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred by the Company in connection with the Merger (including any real property transfer tax and any similar Tax) shall be paid by the Company when due, and the Company shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax returns and other documentation.

6.12 Payoff of Indebtedness. The Company shall, prior to the Closing, obtain from each lender and for each Indebtedness amount set forth on Section 6.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, if required

by the terms of the definitive agreements relating thereto, the written consent of the applicable lender or creditor to the Merger in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent. In the event that the applicable Indebtedness amount is paid in full prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all actions necessary such that (i) XXX-0, XXX-0 or other similar termination statements, as applicable, have been filed with respect to each of the UCC-1 financing or other similar statements filed in order to perfect security interests in assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries that have not yet expired, including those secured by the applicable Indebtedness amount, and (ii) all Encumbrances on assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be released prior to or simultaneously with the Closing.]

(a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”), certified as complete and accurate by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth the following information:

(i) with respect to each holder of Company Common Stock: (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be held by such Stockholder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (B) the aggregate Common Stock Consideration payable to such holder (on a share-by-share and aggregate basis by share type) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein in respect of all of the shares of Company Stock to be held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time;

(ii) with respect to the Preferred Holder, the amount of the Preferred Cash Consideration to be distributed to such holder; and

(iii) a good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital of the Company, which shall itemize the components thereof.

(b) In the event that any information set forth in the Closing Statement becomes inaccurate at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver a revised Closing Statement, together with a new certification consistent with Section 6.13(a), whereupon such revised Closing Statement shall be deemed to be the “Closing Statement” for all purposes of and under this Agreement.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that Parent and the Exchange Agent their respective agents shall be entitled to rely on the Closing Statement for purposes of making any payments hereunder.

6.14 Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b).

Parent and the Company agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain officers and directors of the Company (“Company Insiders”) in connection with the Merger, both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that Company Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in connection with the conversion of Company Securities Parent Common Stock in the Merger, and for compensatory and retentive purposes agree to the provisions of this Section 6.14. Assuming that the Company delivers to Parent the Section 16 Information in a timely fashion, the Parent Board, or a committee of Non–Employee Directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b–3(d) under the Exchange Act), will adopt a resolution providing that the receipt by Company Insiders of Parent Common Stock in exchange for Company Securities pursuant to the Merger, to the extent such securities are listed in the Section 16 Information, is intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act.

6.15 Nasdaq Stock Market Listing.

Prior to the Effective time, Parent will use reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance.

(iii) if the consummation of the Merger shall not have occurred on or before May 31, 2012 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(iii) shall not be available to any party whose failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement in any material respect has been the proximate cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to occur on or before the End Date;

(i) the Company breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2 and such breach or failure has not been cured within 30 days following receipt of notice thereof to the Company, or by its nature cannot be cured within such period;

(ii) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred, or at any time after receipt or public announcement of a Superior Proposal, and the Company Board shall have failed to reaffirm the Company Recommendation as promptly as practicable (but in any event within two Business Days) after receipt of any written request to do so from Parent;

(d) by written notice from the Company to Parent, if

(i) Parent or Merger Sub breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3 and such breach or failure has not been cured within 30 days following receipt of notice thereto Parent, or by its nature cannot be cured within such period;

(ii) prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board authorizes the Company, subject to complying with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 6.4, to effect the Company Adverse Recommendation Change which shall not have been withdrawn within two Business Days after receipt of any written request to do so from Parent.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, members or stockholders to the other party, and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease, provided that

(i) the agreements contained in Sections 6.6(b) (Confidentiality), 6.8 (Public Announcements), 8.2 (Effect of Termination), 8.3 (Fees and Expenses) and Article IX (General Provisions) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) that nothing contained herein shall relieve any party from liabilities or damages arising out of any fraud or willful breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement.

8.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto at any time before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, no amendment shall be made which by Law requires further approval by such stockholders without obtaining such approval.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance by the other parties with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of the party against which such waiver or extension is to be enforced. The failure of a party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.5 to the contrary, after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained there shall be no extension or waiver that would require the further approval of the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law without such approval having first been obtained.

6.	Return of Company Property.

You acknowledge that all memoranda, notes, correspondence, databases, computer discs, computer files, computer equipment and/or accessories, pagers, telephones, passwords or pass codes, records, reports, manuals, books, papers, letters, CD-ROM diskettes, keys, Internet database access codes, client profile data, job orders, client and customer lists, contracts, software programs (including source code), information and records, drafts of instructions, guides and manuals, and other documentation (whether in draft or final form), and other sales, financial or technological information relating to the Company’s business, and any and all other documents containing Proprietary Information furnished to you by any representative of the Company or otherwise acquired or developed by you in connection with you association with the Company (collectively, “Recipient Materials”) shall at all times be the property of the Company. Within forty-eight (48) hours of the termination of your employment for any reason, you will return to the Company any Recipient Materials (inclusive of any copies) that are in your possession, custody or control.

7.	Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation of Customers/Clients.

(a) Access to Proprietary Information. You acknowledge that the special relationship of trust and confidence between you, Remark Media, and its clients and customers creates a high risk and opportunity for the misappropriation of the relationship and goodwill existing between Remark Media and its clients and customers. You further acknowledge and agree that it is fair and reasonable for Remark Media to take steps to protect itself from the risk of such misappropriation. You further acknowledge that, at the outset of your employment with Remark Media and/or throughout your employment with the Company, you have been or will be provided with access to and informed of Remark Media’s Proprietary Information, which will enable you to benefit from the Company’s goodwill and know-how.

(b) Inevitable Disclosure. You acknowledge that it would be inevitable in the performance of your duties as a director, officer, employee, investor, agent or executive of any person, association, entity, or company which competes with Remark Media to disclose and/or use Remark Media’s Proprietary Information, as well as to misappropriate Remark Media’s goodwill and know-how, to or for the benefit of such other person, association, entity, or company. You also acknowledge that, in exchange for the execution of the non-solicitation restriction set forth in Section 8(c), you have received substantial, valuable consideration. You further acknowledge and agree that this consideration constitutes fair and adequate consideration for the execution of the non-solicitation restriction set forth in this Section 7.

(c) Covenant Not to Compete. You agree that during your employment with Remark Media and, if terminated, for a period following employment that continues for the later of (i) so long as any Severance Payment is being made, (ii) six months; or (iii) you hold any vested Options that have not been terminated the “Restrictive Period”), you shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or in the service of or on behalf of others, within the Territory, perform the same or substantially the same duties you performed for Remark Media, on behalf of

Page 7

any business that competes with Remark Media. You and the Company acknowledge that the business of the Company is very broad in scope and that your duties are equally broad in scope because of your position with overall business development and strategy responsibility for the entire business, which has a national focus. Consequently, “Territory” means the city of San Francisco, California.

(d) Non-Solicitation of Customers. Ancillary to the enforceable promises set forth in this Letter Agreement as well as to protect the vital interests described in this Letter Agreement, you agree that, while you are employed by Remark Media and during the Restrictive Period, you will not, without the prior written consent of Remark Media, directly or indirectly, solicit any customer for the purpose of providing products or services that compete with products and services provided by the Remark Media. This restriction is limited to customers with whom you had material contact during your employment for the purpose of performing your job duties at the Company. You also agree that, while you are employed by Remark Media and for twelve months thereafter, you will not, without the prior written consent of Remark Media, directly or indirectly, solicit any business partner of Remark Media for the purpose of enticing that business partner to alter, limit or terminate its relationship with Remark Media. This restriction is limited to business partners with whom you had material contact during your employment for the purpose of performing your job duties at the Company.

(e) Reasonable Restrictions. You agree that the restrictions set forth above are ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement, are supported by independent valuable consideration, and that the limitations as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity to be restrained by this Section 7 are reasonable and acceptable, and do not impose any greater restraint than is reasonably necessary to protect the goodwill and other business interests of Remark Media. You agree that if, at some later date, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the non-competition and/or the non-solicitation provisions set forth in this Section 7 do not meet the criteria set forth in applicable law, this Section 7 may be reformed by the court and enforced to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

(f) Breach. If you are found to have violated any of the provisions of this Section 7, you agree that the restrictive period of each covenant so violated shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation. You understand that your obligations under this Section 7 shall survive the termination of your employment with the Company and shall not be assignable by you

8.	Non-Solicitation of Employees and Executives.

You acknowledge that, as part of your employment or association with Remark Media, you will become familiar with the capabilities, experiences, skill and desires of the Company’s employees, and in certain instances their salary and pay scale. In order to protect the confidentiality of such information, as well as Remark Media’s investment in and relationships with such employees, you agree that, for a period of 12 months following the termination of your employment with Remark Media, whether such

Page 8

termination occurs at the insistence of you or the Company, you shall not directly or indirectly recruit or solicit employees of Remark Media with whom you had contact for the purpose of performing your job duties. This restriction is limited to recruiting or soliciting for the purpose of enticing the employee to end his or her relationship with Remark Media. Your obligations under this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Letter Agreement and your employment with Remark Media.

9.	Remedies.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event that you violate any of the provisions set forth in Sections 5, 6, 7, or 8 of this Letter Agreement, Remark Media will suffer immediate and irreparable harm which cannot be accurately calculated in monetary damages. Consequently, you acknowledge and agree that the Company may – without limitation to or waiver of any other relief available to the Company – be entitled to immediate injunctive relief, either by temporary or permanent injunction, to prevent such a violation.

10.

Notification of Prospective Employment.

Prior to accepting employment or an association with any third party which is engaged in a business competitive to the business conducted by Remark Media or which, because of the nature of your proposed or potential position with the third party, may require you to use or disclose the Company’s Proprietary Information, you agree to notify such third party that you are bound by the terms of this Letter Agreement. You also agree that the Company may, at any time while any of the non-disclosure or non-solicitation covenants contained in this Letter Agreement are in force, provide notice of the existence of this Letter Agreement to any third party with whom or which you propose to negotiate or are negotiating concerning employment or an association or to accept employment, or with whom or which you have accepted employment or an association, without any liability to you for any such notice.

11.

Inventions, Ideas/Patentable Inventions.

You agree to disclose, fully and promptly, and only to Remark Media, all ideas, methods, plans, improvements or patentable inventions of any kind which are made or discovered, in whole or in part, by you during the performance of your job duties; that result from any aid, support, or assistance by Remark Media; or that are created during your work time with Remark Media. In connection with any invention, discovery, concept or idea subject to the foregoing Sections, you will promptly execute a specific assignment of any title, shop-right or license to the Company, and, if requested to do so, will cooperate fully with the Company to secure a patent, shop-right, or license therefor in the United States and/or foreign countries. However, nothing in this Letter Agreement shall require any assignment otherwise prohibited by law. You further agree that any and all work product created or performed by you while you are working with or on behalf of the Company, is a “work for hire” under the terms of the United States Copyright Act, and shall be and remain the exclusive property of the Company. You hereby assign any

Page 9

and all rights, title, and ownership interests that you may now have or hereafter acquire in or to such work product to Remark Media. In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure your signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, you hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as your agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in your behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by you. You hereby waive and quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which you now or may hereafter have for infringement of any invention, discovery, concept or idea assigned hereunder to the Company.

12.

No Conflicting Obligations.

You hereby represent that, except as you have disclosed in writing to the Company, you are not bound by the terms of any agreement with any other party to refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information in the course of your employment with the Company or to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party. You hereby further represent that your performance of all the terms of this Letter Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and shall not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by you in confidence or in trust prior to your employment with the Company, and you will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any third party.

13.

Successors; Binding Agreement.

This Letter Agreement shall be binding upon, and insure to the benefit of, Remark Media, you, and their respective successors, assigns, personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable.

14.
