WHEREAS, Raditaz has 39,249,885 membership interests issued and outstanding (the “Raditaz Membership Interests”) all of which are owned by the Raditaz members (the “Raditaz Members”) as set out in Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the Raditaz Members desire to contribute their Raditaz Membership Interests (the “Contribution”) to Pubco in exchange for 605,918 pre-split shares (10,000,000 post-split shares) of Pubco’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Pubco Common Stock”) making Raditaz a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and Pubco similarly desires to make such exchange; and

References throughout this Agreement to pre-split amounts reflect amounts at the point of issuance through the time immediately prior to the effectuation of the Forward Split. References to post-split amounts reflect amounts at and subsequent to the effectuation of the Forward Split. At the Effective Time, the pre-split amounts will apply.
(c) At Closing, the Raditaz Members shall contribute and transfer the legal and beneficial title to their Raditaz Membership Interests to Pubco in accordance with Section 1.5(c) hereto.
(d) As consideration for the Raditaz Membership Interests, Pubco shall issue to the Raditaz Members an aggregate of 605,918 (pre-split) restricted shares of Pubco Common Stock (the ‘Contribution Shares”).

The Pubco Options shall have terms of between three (3) months and four (4) years and exercise prices of between $0.6601562 and $29.211913 per share on a pre-split basis ($0.04 and $1.77 on a post-split basis).

Each PPO Unit shall consist of one share of Pubco Common Stock and one five-year PPO Warrant to purchase one share of Pubco Common Stock at a pre-split exercise price of $33.007812 ($2.00 post-split) per share. The closing of the Contribution and at least the Minimum Offering Amount under the Private Placement Offering will occur simultaneously and each will be a condition of the other. Pubco and Raditaz have engaged Gottbetter Capital Markets, LLC, a registered broker-dealer (the “Placement Agent”), to serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Private Placement Offering and be compensated in accordance with the terms of a Placement Agent Agreement (as defined below).

Each of Pubco and the Split-Off Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the states of their respective formations. Pubco is duly qualified to conduct business and is in corporate and tax good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its businesses or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Pubco Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). Each of Pubco and the Pubco Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it. Pubco has furnished or made available to Raditaz complete and accurate copies of its articles of incorporation and bylaws, and the organizational documents of the Pubco Subsidiaries. Neither Pubco nor any Pubco Subsidiary is in default under or in violation of any provision of its articles of incorporation, as amended to date, or its bylaws, as amended to date.

3.2 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of Pubco consists of 150,000,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock, of which 1,756,000 (pre-split) shares were issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. As soon as practicable following the Closing, Pubco shall increase its authorized capital stock to consist of 300,000,000 shares of Pubco common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Pubco Preferred Stock. The Pubco Common Stock is presently eligible for quotation and trading on the OTC Markets and is not subject to any notice of suspension or delisting. The Pubco Common Stock is not presently registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Pubco files periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of all preemptive rights. Except as may be granted under Pubco’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (including the 81,176 pre-split (1,339,728 post-split) Pubco Options and 19,167 pre-split (316,328 post-split) Pubco Restricted Stock Awards to be issued in exchange for the Raditaz Options) and except as contemplated by the Private Placement Offering or the Transaction Documentation (as defined in Section 3.3) or described in Section 3.2 of Pubco Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, rights, agreements or commitments to which Pubco is a party or which are binding upon Pubco providing for the issuance or redemption of any of its capital stock. There are no outstanding or authorized stock appreciation, phantom stock or similar rights with respect to Pubco. There are no agreements to which Pubco is a party or by which it is bound with respect to the voting (including without limitation voting trusts or proxies), registration under the Securities Act, or sale or transfer (including without limitation agreements relating to pre-emptive rights, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights or “drag-along” rights) of any securities of Pubco. There are no agreements among other parties, to which Pubco is not a party and by which it is not bound, with respect to the voting (including without limitation voting trusts or proxies) or sale or transfer (including without limitation agreements relating to rights of first refusal, co-sale rights or “drag-along” rights) of any securities of Pubco. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock were issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws including, but not limited to, the Securities Act. The 605,918 pre-split (10,000,000 post-split) Contribution Shares to be issued at the Closing, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of all preemptive rights and will be issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Assuming consummation of the Contribution at the Maximum PPO Amount, immediately after the Effective Time, without giving effect to the Contribution, the Private Placement Offering or the issuance of fully vested Pubco Restricted Stock Awards, but after giving effect to (i) the surrender of 1,500,000 pre-split shares of Pubco Common Stock by the Buyers (the “Share Contribution”) in connection with the Split-Off, there will be 256,000 pre-split shares of Pubco Common Stock issued and outstanding.
At the Closing, the pre-Contribution transaction stockholders of Pubco will own such number of shares of Pubco Common Stock as is equal to 19.9% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock after taking into account the Split-Off, Share Contribution, PPO and Contribution but not the Pubco Restricted Stock Awards. The-pre-Contribution transaction stockholders of Pubco, excluding the stockholders that will be parties to the Split-Off Agreement, will own an aggregate of 256,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock. If the initial PPO closing will be on the Maximum PPO Amount of $7,000,000, such pre-Contribution transaction stockholders of Pubco will retain all 256,000 (4,225,000 post-split) of such shares as this amount will constitute 19.9% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock after taking the Contribution and all related transactions into account. If however, the initial PPO closing will be on less than the Maximum PPO Amount, such pre-Contribution transaction stockholders of Pubco will cancel, prior to Closing, such number of shares of Pubco Common Stock as is necessary to insure that their aggregate holdings at the Closing will represent 19.9% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at the Closing. In the event that there are additional closings under the PPO following the Closing, the pre-Contribution transaction stockholders of Pubco will receive additional shares of Pubco Common Stock in an amount necessary to maintain their aggregate 19.9% ownership. If, however, Pubco issues additional shares of Pubco Common Stock subsequent to the initial closing under the PPO and prior to, or in conjunction with, the final closing under the PPO, outside of the PPO issuances, such non-PPO share issuances shall not serve to increase the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable by reason of the 19.9% maintenance provision.

(d) any violation of, or any liability under, any Environmental Law (an “Environmental Claim”) relating to or arising from the activities and operations of Raditaz or any Raditaz Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time, regardless of when the environmental hazard giving rise to such Environmental Claim is discovered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to any fraud or willful misconduct by Raditaz in connection with this Agreement, Pubco’s sole and exclusive right to collect any Damages with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation or breach of warranty of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement by Raditaz or the Majority Holder contained in this Agreement shall be pursuant to a sale, in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement, of Escrow Shares issued to such Indemnifying Member by Pubco pursuant to Section 1.10 above.
6.2 Indemnification by Pubco. Subject to the limitations provided herein, Pubco shall, for a period commencing from the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, indemnify the Raditaz Members in respect of, and hold them harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Raditaz Members resulting from:
38

6.3 Indemnification Claims.
(a) In the event Pubco or the Raditaz Members are entitled, or seek to assert rights, to indemnification under this Article VI, Pubco or the Raditaz Members (as the case may be) shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Members or Pubco (as the case may be) of the commencement of any suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this Article VI may be sought. Such notification shall be given within 20 business days after receipt by the party seeking indemnification of notice of such suit or proceeding, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the party seeking indemnification) the facts constituting the basis for such suit or proceeding and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the party seeking indemnification in notifying the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the indemnifying party may, upon written notice thereof to the party seeking indemnification, assume control of the defense of such suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party seeking indemnification; provided that the indemnifying party may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the party seeking indemnification. If the indemnifying party does not so assume control of such defense, the party seeking indemnification shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the indemnifying party assumes control of such defense and the party seeking indemnification reasonably concludes that the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the party seeking indemnification shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such suit or proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such suit or proceeding.
39
(b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VI, the party seeking indemnification shall give written notification (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the party seeking indemnification, (ii) a statement that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of the Claimed Amount.
(c) Within 20 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the indemnifying party shall deliver to the party seeking indemnification a written response (the “Response”) in which the indemnifying party shall: (i) agree that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount, (ii) agree that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) or (iii) dispute that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the indemnifying party in the Response disputes its liability for all or part of the Claimed Amount, the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 6.3(d) for the resolution of such dispute (a “Dispute”).
(d) During the 60-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 60-day period, the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to a mutually acceptable alternative dispute resolution procedure (which may be non-binding or binding upon the parties, as they agree in advance) (the “ADR Procedure”). In the event the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification agree upon an ADR Procedure, such parties shall, in consultation with the chosen dispute resolution service (the “ADR Service”), promptly agree upon a format and timetable for the ADR Procedure, agree upon the rules applicable to the ADR Procedure, and promptly undertake the ADR Procedure. The provisions of this Section 6.3(d) shall not obligate the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification to pursue an ADR Procedure or prevent either such Party from pursuing the Dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification agree to pursue an ADR Procedure, neither the indemnifying party nor the party seeking indemnification may commence litigation or seek other remedies with respect to the Dispute prior to the completion of such ADR Procedure. Any ADR Procedure undertaken by the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall be considered a compromise negotiation for purposes of federal and state rules of evidence, and all statements, offers, opinions and disclosures (whether written or oral) made in the course of the ADR Procedure by or on behalf of the indemnifying party, the party seeking indemnification or the ADR Service shall be treated as confidential and, where appropriate, as privileged work product. Such statements, offers, opinions and disclosures shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purposes in any litigation or other proceeding relating to the Dispute (provided that this sentence shall not be construed to exclude from discovery or admission any matter that is otherwise discoverable or admissible). The fees and expenses of any ADR Service used by the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall be considered to be Damages; provided, that if the indemnifying party are determined not to be liable for Damages in connection with such Dispute, the party seeking indemnification shall pay all such fees and expenses.
(e) For purposes of this Section 6.3 and the last two sentences of Section 6.4, any references to the Raditaz Members or the Indemnifying Members (except provisions relating to an obligation to make, or a right to receive, any payments provided for in Section 6.3 or Section 6.4) shall be deemed to refer to the Indemnification Representative. The Indemnification Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Indemnifying Member to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, Indemnifying Members under this Article VI. The Indemnification Representative shall have no liability to any Indemnifying Member for any action taken or omitted on behalf of Indemnifying Members pursuant to this Article VI.
6.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Raditaz Certificate or Pubco Certificate shall (a) survive the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of Pubco or Raditaz and (b) shall expire on the date two (2) years following the Closing Date. If an party entitled to indemnification delivers to a party from whom it may seek indemnification hereunder, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or a notice that, as a result a legal proceeding instituted by or written claim made by a third party, the party entitled to indemnification reasonably expects to incur Damages as a result of a breach of such representation or warranty (an “Expected Claim Notice”), then such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such Expected Claim Notice.
40
6.5 Limitations on Claims for Indemnification.

(ii) Except with respect to claims based on fraud or willful misconduct, after the Closing, the rights of Pubco under this Article VI shall be the exclusive remedy of Pubco with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation or breach of warranty of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement by Raditaz or the Majority Holder contained in this Agreement.

(b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Raditaz Members shall not be entitled to recover, or be indemnified for, Damages under this Article VI unless and until the aggregate of all such Damages paid or payable by Pubco collectively exceeds the Damages Threshold and then, if such aggregate Damages Threshold is reached, Raditaz Members shall only be entitled to recover for Damages in excess of such Damages Threshold.
(ii) Except with respect to claims based on fraud or willful misconduct, after the Closing, the rights of Raditaz Members under this Article VI shall be the exclusive remedy of Raditaz Members with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation or breach of warranty of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement by Pubco contained in this Agreement.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except with respect to any fraud or willful misconduct by Pubco or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the delivery to a Raditaz Member entitled to indemnification by Pubco under this Article VI of shares of Pubco Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.11 shall be the exclusive means for Raditaz Members to collect any Damages for which they are entitled to indemnification under this Article VI.
(c) No Indemnifying Member shall have any right of contribution against the Surviving Corporation with respect to any breach by Raditaz of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements. The amount of Damages recoverable by Pubco under this Article VI with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by (i) any proceeds received by Pubco with respect to the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates, from an insurance carrier and (ii) the amount of any tax savings actually realized by Pubco, for the tax year in which such Damages are incurred, which are clearly attributable to the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates (net of any increased tax liability which may result from the receipt of the indemnity payment or any insurance proceeds relating to such Damages).

ARTICLE VIII. TERMINATION
8.1 Termination by Mutual Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by mutual written consent of the Parties.
8.2 Termination for Failure to Close. This Agreement shall be automatically terminated if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by January 31, 2014, unless such date is extended by mutual written consent of the Parties.
8.3 Termination by Operation of Law. This Agreement may be terminated by any Party hereto if there shall be any statute, rule or regulation that renders consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Contemplated Transactions) illegal or otherwise prohibited, or a court of competent jurisdiction or any government (or governmental authority) shall have issued an order, decree or ruling, or has taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of such transactions and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable.
8.4 Termination for Failure to Perform Covenants or Conditions. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Effective Time:
(a) by Pubco if: (i) any of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by Raditaz shall not be materially true and correct, when made or at any time prior to consummation of the Contemplated Transactions as if made at and as of such time; (ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 hereof have not been fulfilled in all material respects by the Closing Date; (iii) Raditaz shall have failed to observe or perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement; or (iv) as otherwise set forth herein; or

8.5 Effect of Termination or Default; Remedies. In the event of termination of this Agreement as set forth above, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party hereto, provided that such Party is a Non-Defaulting Party (as defined below). The foregoing shall not relieve any Party from liability for damages actually incurred as a result of such Party’s breach of any term or provision of this Agreement.
8.6 Remedies; Specific Performance. In the event that any Party shall fail or refuse to consummate the Contemplated Transactions or if any default under or beach of any representation, warranty, covenant or condition of this Agreement on the part of any Party (the “Defaulting Party”) shall have occurred that results in the failure to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, then in addition to the other remedies provided herein, the non-defaulting Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall be entitled to seek and obtain money damages from the Defaulting Party, or may seek to obtain an order of specific performance thereof against the Defaulting Party from a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Non-Defaulting Party seeking such protection must file its request with such court within forty-five (45) days after it becomes aware of the Defaulting Party’s failure, refusal, default or breach. In addition, the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to obtain from the Defaulting Party court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with or in pursuit of enforcing the rights and remedies provided hereunder.

ARTICLE IX. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Press Releases and Announcements.

9.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.

Any Party may make service on another Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.8.
