Whereas, for Federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and

Whereas, GRMI and Guardian 8 desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, GRMI and Guardian 8 hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Merger

Section 1.1. The Merger. At the Effective Time and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada (the “NGCL”), G8 Sub shall be merged with and into Guardian 8 (as defined below) (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, Guardian 8 shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”), shall continue to be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and the separate corporate existence of G8 Sub shall cease. Guardian 8 shall continue its existence as a wholly owned subsidiary of GRMI. Concurrent with the Effective Time of the Merger, GRMI shall amend its articles of incorporation to change its name to “Guardian 8 Holdings”, or another agreed upon name. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Code as relates to the non-cash exchange of stock referenced herein.

Section 1.2. Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Certificate of Merger (the “Merger Certificate”) shall be duly executed and acknowledged by each of Guardian 8, G8 Sub and GRMI, and thereafter the Merger Certificate reflecting the Merger shall be delivered to the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada for filing pursuant to the NGCL on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.3). The Merger shall become effective at such time as a properly executed and certified copy of the Merger Certificate is duly filed by the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in accordance with the NGCL or such later time as the parties may agree upon and set forth in the Merger Certificate (the time at which the Merger becomes effective shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.3. Closing of the Merger. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at a time and on a date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second business day after satisfaction of the latest to occur of the conditions set forth in Article 5 (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of DeMint Law, PLLC, 3753 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Parkway, Second Floor, Suite 314, Las Vegas, Nevada, unless another time, date or place is agreed to by the parties hereto.

Section 1.4. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the NGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers of G8 Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of G8 Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. Concurrently, Guardian 8 shall remain a wholly owned subsidiary of GRMI.

Section 1.5. Board of Directors and Officers of GRMI. At or prior to the Effective Time, each of Guardian 8 and GRMI agrees to take such action as is necessary (i) to cause the number of directors comprising the full Board of Directors of GRMI to be five (5) persons and (ii) to cause Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Jr. (the “Guardian 8 Designees”), and Xxxx Xxxxxxx (the “GRMI Designee”), to be elected as directors of GRMI. In addition, majority stockholders of GRMI prior to the Effective Time shall take all action necessary to cause, to the greatest extent practicable, the Guardian 8 Designees to serve on GRMI’s Board of Directors until the next Annual Meeting of GRMI’s stockholders. If a Guardian 8 Designee shall decline or be unable to serve as a director prior to the Effective Time, Guardian 8 shall nominate another person to serve in such person’s stead, which such person shall be subject to approval of the other party. From and after the Effective Time, and until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable law, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx shall be Chief Executive Officer, President Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer of GRMI.

Section 1.6. Conversion of Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Guardian 8 (individually a “Guardian 8 Share” and collectively, the “Guardian 8 Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Guardian 8, GRMI, G8 Sub or the holder thereof, be converted into and shall become one (1) fully paid and nonassessable GRMI common share (the “Exchange Ratio”). The holder of a Guardian 8 Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor one share of GRMI Common Stock. GRMI Shares and Guardian 8 Shares are sometimes referred to collectively herein as “Shares.”

(b) Guardian 8 hereby acknowledges that (i) the Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, the Shares cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered under said laws or exemptions from such registrations are available; and (ii) the transferability of the Shares is restricted and that a legend shall be placed on the certificates representing the securities substantially to the following effect:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”). THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF A CURRENT AND EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES, OR AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER AND ITS COUNSEL TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.

(c) At the Effective Time, each Guardian 8 Share held in the treasury of Guardian 8, by Guardian 8 immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Guardian 8, G8 Sub or GRMI be canceled, retired and cease to exist and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(d) Concurrent with the Closing of the Merger and prior to the Effective Time and issuance of the Shares to the Guardian 8 stockholders, GRMI shall effectuate a reverse stock split in a ratio of one-for-four and four/tenths (1:4.4), such that GRMI shall have not more than one million three hundred eighty-eight thousand five hundred twenty-eight (1,388,528) shares of common stock outstanding prior to the Effective Time prior to the issuance of shares of common stock to the Guardian 8 stockholders (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

(e) Concurrent with the Closing of the Merger, GRMI shall amend its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “Guardian 8 Holdings”, or another agreed upon name.

Section 1.7. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, GRMI shall enter into an agreement with, and shall deposit with, DeMint Law, PLLC, or such other agent or agents as may be satisfactory to GRMI and Guardian 8 (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Guardian 8 Shares, for exchange through the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Article I: (i) certificates representing the appropriate number of GRMI Shares to be issued to holders of Guardian 8 Shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.6 in exchange for outstanding Guardian 8 Shares.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Guardian 8 Shares (the “Certificates”) whose shares were converted into the right to receive GRMI Shares pursuant to Section 1.6: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Guardian 8 and GRMI may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing GRMI Shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and any other required documents, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole GRMI Shares, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Guardian 8 Shares which are not registered in the transfer records of Guardian 8, a certificate representing the proper number of GRMI Shares may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Guardian 8 Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent accompanied by all documents required by the Exchange Agent or GRMI to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer or other taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.7, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the certificate representing GRMI Shares as contemplated by this Section 1.7.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to GRMI Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the GRMI Shares represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate.

(d) In the event that any Certificate for Guardian 8 Shares or GRMI Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof such GRMI Shares and cash in lieu of fractional GRMI Shares, if any, as may be required pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that GRMI or the Exchange Agent, may, in its respective discretion, require the delivery of a suitable bond, opinion or indemnity.

(e) All GRMI Shares issued upon the surrender for exchange of Guardian 8 Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. There shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of either of Guardian 8 or GRMI of the Guardian 8 Shares or GRMI Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to GRMI for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

(f) No fractional GRMI Shares shall be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of Guardian 8 Shares otherwise entitled to a fractional GRMI Share shall, upon surrender of its, his or her Certificate or Certificates, be entitled to receive an additional share to round up to the nearest round number of shares.

Section 1.8. Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Guardian 8 Shares, if any (a “Guardian 8 Stock Option” or collectively, “Guardian 8 Stock Options”) issued pursuant to any Guardian 8 Stock Option Plan or Guardian 8 Long Term Incentive Plan whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled.

Section 1.9. Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Guardian 8 or GRMI reasonably determines that any deeds, assignments, or instruments or confirmations of transfer are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest GRMI with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Guardian 8, the officers and directors of GRMI and Guardian 8 are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary or desirable action.

ARTICLE 2

Representations and Warranties of GRMI

Except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule delivered by GRMI to Guardian 8 (the “GRMI Disclosure Schedule”), GRMI hereby represents and warrants to Guardian 8 as follows:

Section 2.1. Organization and Qualification.

(a) GRMI is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its businesses as now being conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing or to have such power and authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) on GRMI. When used in connection with GRMI, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means any change or effect (i) that is or is reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the business, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of GRMI, other than any change or effect arising out of general economic conditions unrelated to any business in which GRMI is engaged, or (ii) that may impair the ability of GRMI to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) GRMI has heretofore delivered to Guardian 8 accurate and complete copies of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (or similar governing documents), as currently in effect, of GRMI. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1 of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule, GRMI is duly qualified or licensed and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI.

Section 2.2. Capitalization of GRMI.

(a) The authorized capital stock of GRMI consists of: (i) One Hundred Million (100,000,000) GRMI Common Shares, par value $0.001 per share, of which, as of July 30, 2010, Five Million Five Hundred Fifty-Four Thousand One Hundred Ten (5,554,110) GRMI Shares were issued and outstanding, and (ii) Ten Million (10,000,000) GRMI Preferred Shares, par value $0.001 per share, of which, as of July 30, 2010 there were no preferred shares outstanding, and no GRMI Shares were held in treasury. All of the outstanding GRMI Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. Except as set forth herein, as of the date hereof, there are no outstanding (i) shares of capital stock or other voting securities of GRMI, (ii) securities of GRMI convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting securities of GRMI, except for the preferred shares of GRMI, (iii) options or other rights to acquire from GRMI and, except as described in the GRMI SEC Reports (as defined below), no obligations of GRMI to issue, any capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock or voting securities of GRMI, and (iv) equity equivalents, interests in the ownership or earnings of GRMI or other similar rights (collectively, “GRMI Securities”). As of the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 2.2(a) of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule there are no outstanding obligations of GRMI or its subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any GRMI Securities or stockholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which GRMI is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting or registration of any shares of capital stock of GRMI. For purposes of this Agreement, ‘‘Lien” means, with respect to any asset (including, without limitation, any security) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any kind in respect of such asset.

(b) The GRMI Shares constitute the only class of equity securities of GRMI registered or required to be registered under the Exchange Act.

(c) Other than its 100% ownership of G8 Sub, GRMI does not own directly or indirectly more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities or interests (including membership interests) of any entity, other than as specifically disclosed in the disclosure documents.

(d) Concurrent with the Closing of the Merger and prior to the Effective Time and issuance of the Shares to the Guardian 8 stockholders, GRMI shall effectuate the Reverse Stock Split.

(e) Concurrent with the Closing of the Merger, GRMI shall amend its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “Guardian 8 Holdings”, or another agreed upon name.

Section 2.3. Authority Relative to this Agreement; Recommendation. GRMI has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of Directors of GRMI (the “GRMI Board”) and no other corporate proceedings on the part of GRMI are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except, as referred to in Section 2.17, the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding GRMI Shares. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by GRMI and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of GRMI, enforceable against GRMI in accordance with its terms.

Section 2.4. SEC Reports; Financial Statements.

(a) GRMI has filed, or will have filed prior to the Effective Time, all required forms, reports and documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since the filing of its initial registration statement on Form S-1 on May 16, 2008, each of which has complied in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act (and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, respectively), each as in effect on the dates such forms, reports and documents were filed. GRMI has heretofore delivered or promptly will deliver prior to the Effective Date to Guardian 8, in the form filed with the SEC (including any amendments thereto but excluding any exhibits), (i) its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, (ii) all definitive proxy statements relating to GRMI’s meetings of stockholders (whether annual or special) held since May 16, 2008, if any, and (iii) all other reports or registration statements filed by GRMI with the SEC since May 16, 2008 (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “GRMI SEC Reports”). None of such GRMI SEC Reports, including, without limitation, any financial statements or schedules included or incorporated by reference therein, contained, when filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The audited financial statements of GRMI included in the GRMI SEC Reports fairly present, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), the financial position of GRMI as of the dates thereof and its results of operations and changes in financial position for the periods then ended. All material agreements, contracts and other documents required to be filed as exhibits to any of the GRMI SEC Reports have been so filed.

(b) GRMI has heretofore made available or promptly will make available to Guardian 8 a complete and correct copy of any amendments or modifications which are required to be filed with the SEC but have not yet been filed with the SEC, to agreements, documents or other instruments which previously had been filed by GRMI with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act.

Section 2.5. Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by GRMI for inclusion or incorporation by reference in connection with the Merger (the “Information Statement”) will at the date mailed to stockholders of GRMI and at the times of the meeting or meetings of stockholders of GRMI to be held in connection with the Merger, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Information Statement, insofar as it relates to the majority consent of GRMI’s stockholders for the Merger, will comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 2.6. Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except for filings, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals as may be required under, and other applicable requirements of, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities or blue sky laws, the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1916, as amended (the “HSR ACT”), the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the filing and recordation of the Merger Certificate as required by the NGCL, and as set forth on Schedule 2.6 of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule no filing with or notice to, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any court or tribunal or administrative, governmental or regulatory body, agency or authority (a “Governmental Entity”) is necessary for the execution and delivery by GRMI of this Agreement or the consummation by GRMI of the transactions contemplated hereby, except where the failure to obtain such permits, authorizations, consents or approvals or to make such filings or give such notice would not have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI.

Except as set forth in Section 2.6 of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by GRMI nor the consummation by GRMI of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the respective Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws (or similar governing documents) of GRMI, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration or Lien) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which GRMI is a party or by which any of its properties or assets may be bound, or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to GRMI or any of its properties or assets, except in the case of (ii) or (iii) for violations, breaches or defaults which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI.

Section 2.7. No Default. Except as set forth in Section 2.7 of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule, GRMI is not in breach, default or violation (and no event has occurred which with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a breach default or violation) of any term, condition or provision of (i) its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws (or similar governing documents), (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which GRMI is now a party or by which any of its respective properties or assets may be bound or (iii) any order, writ injunction, decree, law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to GRMI or any of its respective properties or assets, except in the case of (ii) or (iii) for violations, breaches or defaults that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI. Except as set forth in Section 2.7 of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule, each note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which GRMI is now a party or by which its respective properties or assets may be bound that is material to GRMI and that has not expired is in full force and effect and is not subject to any material default thereunder of which GRMI is aware by any party obligated to GRMI thereunder.

Section 2.8. No Undisclosed Liabilities; Absence of Changes. Except as set forth in Section 2.8 of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule and except as and to the extent publicly disclosed by GRMI in the GRMI SEC Reports, as of March 31, 2010, GRMI does not have any liabilities or obligations of any nature, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise, that would be required by generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected on a balance sheet of GRMI (including the notes thereto) or which would have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI. Except as publicly disclosed by GRMI, since March 31, 2010, GRMI has not incurred any liabilities of any nature, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to have, and there have been no events, changes or effects with respect to GRMI having or which reasonably could be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI. Except as and to the extent publicly disclosed by GRMI in the GRMI SEC Reports and except as set forth in Section 2.8 of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule, since March 31, 2010, there has not been (i) any material change by GRMI in its accounting methods, principles or practices (other than as required after the date hereof by concurrent changes in generally accepted accounting principles), (ii) any revaluation by GRMI of any of its assets having a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI, including, without limitation, any write-down of the value of any assets other than in the ordinary course of business or (iii) any other action or event that would have required the consent of any other party hereto pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement had such action or event occurred after the date of this Agreement.

Section 2.9. Litigation. Except as publicly disclosed by GRMI in the GRMI SEC Reports, there is no suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of GRMI, threatened against GRMI or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets before any Governmental Entity which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI or could reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as publicly disclosed by GRMI in the GRMI SEC Reports, GRMI is not subject to any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree which, insofar as can be reasonably foreseen in the future, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI or could reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 2.10. Compliance with Applicable Law. Except as publicly disclosed by GRMI in the GRMI SEC Reports, GRMI holds all permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals of all Governmental Entities necessary for the lawful conduct of their respective businesses (the “GRMI Permits”), except for failures to hold such permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI. Except as publicly disclosed by GRMI in the GRMI SEC Reports, GRMI is in compliance with the terms of the GRMI Permits, except where the failure so to comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI. Except as publicly disclosed by GRMI in the GRMI SEC Reports, the business of GRMI is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Entity except that no representation or warranty is made in this Section 2.10 with respect to Environmental Laws (as defined in Section 2.12 below) and except for violations or possible violations which do not, and, insofar as reasonably can be foreseen, in the future will not, have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI. Except as publicly disclosed by GRMI in the GRMI SEC Reports, no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to GRMI is pending or, to the knowledge of GRMI, threatened, nor, to the knowledge of GRMI, has any Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct the same, other than, in each case, those which GRMI reasonably believes will not have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI.

Section 2.11. Employee Benefit Plans; Labor Matters.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.11(a) of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule with respect to each employee benefit plan, program, policy, arrangement and contract (including, without limitation, any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)), maintained or contributed to at any time by GRMI or any entity required to be aggregated with GRMI pursuant to Section 414 of the Code (each, a “GRMI Employee Plan”), no event has occurred and to the knowledge of GRMI, no condition or set of circumstances exists in connection with which GRMI could reasonably be expected to be subject to any liability which would have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI.

(b) (i) No GRMI Employee Plan is or has been subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code; and (ii) each GRMI Employee Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code and each trust intended to qualify under Section 501(a) of the Code is the subject of a favorable Internal Revenue Service determination letter, and nothing has occurred which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect such determination.

(c) Section 2.11(c) of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list, as of the date of this Agreement, of each person who holds any GRMI Stock Options, together with the number of GRMI Shares which are subject to such option, the date of grant of such option, the extent to which such option is vested (or will become vested as a result of the Merger), the option price of such option (to the extent determined as of the date hereof), whether such option is a nonqualified stock option or is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code, and the expiration date of such option. Section 2.11(c) of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule also sets forth the total number of such incentive stock options and such nonqualified options. GRMI has furnished Guardian 8 with complete copies of the plans pursuant to which the GRMI Stock Options were issued. Other than the automatic vesting of GRMI Stock Options that may occur without any action on the part of GRMI or its officers or directors, GRMI has not taken any action that would result in any GRMI Stock Options that are unvested becoming vested in connection with or as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) GRMI has made available to Guardian 8 (i) a description of the terms of employment and compensation arrangements of all officers of GRMI and a copy of each such agreement currently in effect; (ii) copies of all agreements with consultants who are individuals obligating GRMI to make annual cash payments in an amount exceeding $10,000; (iii) a schedule listing all officers of GRMI who have executed a non-competition agreement with GRMI and a copy of each such agreement currently in effect; (iv) copies (or descriptions) of all severance agreements, programs and policies of GRMI with or relating to its employees, except programs and policies required to be maintained by law; and (v) copies of all plans, programs, agreements and other arrangements of GRMI with or relating to its employees which contain change in control provisions all of which are set forth in Section 2.11(d) of the GRMI Disclosure Schedule.

(e) There shall be no payment, accrual of additional benefits, acceleration of payments, or vesting in any benefit under any GRMI Employee Plan or any agreement or arrangement disclosed under this Section 2.11 solely by reason of entering into or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) There are no controversies pending or, to the knowledge of GRMI, threatened, between GRMI and any of their employees, which controversies have or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI. Neither GRMI nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or other labor union contract applicable to persons employed by GRMI or any of its subsidiaries (and neither GRMI nor any of its subsidiaries has any outstanding material liability with respect to any terminated collective bargaining agreement or labor union contract), nor does GRMI know of any activities or proceedings of any labor union to organize any of its or employees. GRMI has no knowledge of any strike, slowdown, work stoppage, lockout or threat thereof, by or with respect to any of its employees.

(b) Except as publicly disclosed by GRMI, there are no Environmental Claims which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on GRMI that are pending or, to the knowledge of GRMI, threatened against GRMI or, to the knowledge of GRMI, against any person or entity whose liability for any Environmental Claim GRMI has or may have retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law.
