A. The Boards of Directors of Crystal and MRI deem it advisable and in the best interests of each corporation and its respective stockholders that MRI acquire Crystal through a business combination in order to advance the long-term strategic business interests of Crystal and MRI;
B. The acquisition of Crystal by MRI shall be effected by the terms of this Agreement through a merger as outlined below;
C. On the Closing Date, Crystal shall own the business known as SunTrips, which operates high-value vacation packages, including air, hotel, rental car and amenities (the "Business");

In furtherance thereof, the respective Boards of Directors of Crystal and MRI have approved the Merger (as defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, pursuant to which all of the shares of common stock, no par value of Crystal ("Crystal Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) will be converted into the right to receive an aggregate of twelve million (12,000,000) shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of MRI ("MRI Common Stock") which shall be subject to the vesting schedule as set forth in Section 2.1; and
E. For Federal income tax purposes, the parties intend for the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Article I
The Merger

As promptly as practicable on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.6), the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the "Delaware Certificate of Merger") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, Delaware Law, such certificate to be in such form as approved by MRI and Crystal prior to such filing (the time of the filing of both the Delaware Certificate of Merger or the time specified therein being the "Effective Time").

At the Effective Time, (a) the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as attached hereto as Exhibit A and as amended by the Delaware Certificate of Merger, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and (b) the bylaws of Merger Sub, as attached hereto as Exhibit B, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 1.5. Directors and Officers
(a) The directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately upon the effectiveness of the Merger shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.5 hereto, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

Section 1.7. Subsequent Actions
If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to continue in, vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties, privileges, franchises or assets of either of its constituent corporations acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be and hereby are directed and authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either of such constituent corporations, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in, to and under such rights, properties, privileges, franchises or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.
Section 1.8. Tax and Accounting Treatment of the Merger
The parties hereto intend that the Merger shall (a) constitute a reorganization of Merger Sub and Crystal within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (b) be accounted for as a purchase under GAAP.

Article II
Conversion of Securities; Exchange of Certificates
Section 2.1. Vesting of Securities
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of MRI, Merger Sub, Crystal or the holders of any of the securities referred to in this Section 2.1:
(a) Common Stock. Each share of Crystal Common Stock (excluding any shares of treasury stock described in Section 2.1(c)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive that fraction of a share of MRI Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Total Merger Shares (12,000,000 shares of MRI Common Stock) by the aggregate number of shares of Crystal Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. The shares of MRI Common Stock issuable to the holders of Crystal Common Stock pursuant hereto, together with the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.1(d), is sometimes referred to herein, collectively, as the "Merger Consideration". All such shares of Crystal Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously evidencing any such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law, the holder(s) of certificates previously evidencing such shares of Crystal Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Crystal Common Stock. Each such certificate previously evidencing such shares of Crystal Common Stock shall be exchanged for the number of shares previously evidenced by the canceled certificate upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.
(b) Common Stock Vesting. 7,000,000 shares of MRI Common Stock issued at Closing as Merger Consideration shall vest immediately upon issuance. The balance of the shares of MRI Common Stock issued at Closing as Merger Consideration shall vest subject to the following provisions and with respect to the following time periods (each, a "Vesting Period"):
(I) With respect to the 14 month period commencing on Closing, if the Business achieves (A) gross revenues of at least $69,000,000 or (B) EBITDA of at least $2,000,000, the balance of the remaining 5,000,0000 unvested shares of MRI Common Stock issued at Closing as Merger Consideration shall fully vest;
(II) With respect to the 14 month period commencing on Closing, if the Business fails to achieve the amounts set forth in Section 2.1(b)(I) above, but does achieve (A) gross revenues of at least $40,000,000 and (B) EBITDA of at least $1,000,000, 2,500,0000 additional shares of the unvested shares of MRI Common Stock issued at Closing as Merger Consideration shall become fully vested; and
(III) With respect to the months 15-26 after closing, if the Business fails to achieve the amounts set forth in Section 2.1(b)(I) above, but does achieve (A) gross revenues of at least $69,000,000 or (B) EBITDA of at least $2,000,000, 2,500,0000 additional shares of MRI Common Stock issued at Closing as Merger Consideration shall become fully vested.
The vesting shall take place subject to the above conditions and be effective, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date on which the applicable Vesting Period ends (each, an "Initial Calculation Date") (unless the applicable vesting is subject to a good faith dispute, in which case such vesting shall be deemed complete within the time period provided below). MRI shall deliver to Crystal no later than the Initial Calculation Date a calculation of gross revenues for the applicable vesting Period and the amount of the vesting, if any, for such Vesting Period. Notwithstanding the determination of gross revenues for such Vesting Period and the amount of the vesting (if any), Crystal shall have the right to receive the information upon which such determination was made, and shall, in the event of a dispute as to the amount or method of calculation of such gross revenues or the vesting (if any). If Crystal shall disagree with MRI's determination of gross revenues for an Vesting Period or the corresponding vesting (if any), Crystal shall notify MRI in writing with a reasonable description of the basis for such disagreement in accordance with Section 13.3 hereof within fifteen (15) days of receipt of MRI's calculations (a "Vesting Dispute Notice"). For a period of twenty (20) days following MRI's receipt of a Vesting Dispute Notice, MRI and Crystal shall in good faith attempt to agree upon the amount of gross revenues for the applicable Vesting Period and the corresponding vesting (if any). If MRI and Crystal are not able to resolve such dispute within such twenty (20) day period, then the amount of gross revenues for the applicable Vesting Period and the corresponding vesting (if any) shall be determined as soon as possible thereafter by the New York, New York office of one of the five largest national accounting firms mutually selected by MRI and Crystal (the "Independent Auditor"), for a final and binding determination. Following the conclusive determination of the vesting amounts due for each Vesting Period, all shares of MRI Common Stock issued at Closing as Merger Consideration that remain unvested shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously evidencing any such shares shall be returned to MRI and promptly cancelled.
(c) Treasury Stock. All shares of capital stock of Crystal held in the treasury of Crystal immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no amount shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.
(d) Merger Sub Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, subject to the vesting as provided herein.
(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing any fractional shares of MRI Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and other than the right to receive the cash payment pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), any such fractional interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to any rights as a security holder of MRI. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, all holders of Crystal Common Stock otherwise entitled to receive fractional shares of MRI Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall be entitled to receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of MRI Common Stock to which the holder of Crystal Common Stock would otherwise be entitled under Section 2.1(a) multiplied by the closing price per share of MRI Common Stock on the Closing Date. As promptly as possible after the determination of the amount of cash to be paid to holders of fractional interests, MRI shall forward payments to holders of such fractional interests subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 2.2. Exchange of Certificates
(a) Exchange. As of the Effective Time, upon surrender of the stock certificates representing Crystal Common Stock (a "Crystal Stock Certificates") to MRI for exchange, MRI shall delver to the holder of such Crystal Stock Certificates a certificates representing the number of shares of MRI Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1. All Crystal Stock Certificates so surrendered shall be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Crystal Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) No Further Rights in Stock. All shares of MRI Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Crystal Stock Certificates in accordance with the terms of Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to this Article II) shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Crystal Common Stock theretofore represented by such Crystal Stock Certificates, and there shall be no further registration of transfer on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Crystal Common Stock represented by such Crystal Stock Certificates which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any such Certificates are presented to MRI or the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, except as otherwise provided by law.
(c) Withholding of Tax. MRI shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the applicable amount of the Merger Consideration otherwise issuable to, and any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to, any former holder of Crystal Common Stock such amounts as MRI (or any Affiliate thereof) are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by MRI (or any Affiliate thereof), such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of Crystal Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by MRI (or any Affiliate thereof).
(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Crystal Stock Certificate evidencing shares of Crystal Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit setting forth that fact by the Person claiming such lost, stolen or destroyed Crystal Stock Certificate and MRI shall pay to such Person the applicable amount of the Merger Consideration with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate; provided, that such Person shall indemnify MRI and the Surviving Corporation against any claim against MRI or the Surviving Person resulting or relating to the payment of Merger Consideration to such Person.
Section 2.3 Restrictions on Transfer of MRI Common Stock Issued in the Merger.
(a) Restrictive Legends. The shares of MRI Common Stock issued in accordance with this Agreement will be "restricted securities," as defined under the Securities Act and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder, and may only be sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the shares of MRI Common Stock issued in connection with the Merger will bear substantially the following legend:
"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT."
Section 2.4. Treatment of Crystal Stock Options
All Crystal Options that either have not been exercised as of the Closing or that are not being exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished immediately prior to the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor. Prior to the Effective Time, Crystal shall take all actions and obtain all consents that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.4.
Section 2.5. Certain Adjustments
If between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Crystal Common Stock or of MRI Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or any dividend payable in stock or other securities shall be declared thereon with a record date within such period, the Exchange Ratio (and any other references herein to a price per share of MRI Common Stock) shall be adjusted accordingly to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange or dividend.
Article III
Representations and Warranties of Crystal
and the Shareholder
Crystal and the Shareholder, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to MRI and Merger Sub, subject to the exceptions set forth in Crystal's disclosure schedules delivered by Crystal to MRI dated as of the date hereof (which exceptions shall specifically identify a section, subsection or clause of a single section or subsection hereof, as applicable, to which such exception relates, it being understood and agreed that each such exception shall not be deemed to be disclosed under any other section, subsection or clause hereof unless such disclosure reasonably relates thereto), that:

Each of Crystal and each Crystal Subsidiary is duly qualified to conduct its business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned, operated or leased or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except for such failures which have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Crystal. Each of Crystal and each Crystal Subsidiary has the requisite corporate power and authority and any necessary governmental authority, franchise, license or permit to own, operate, lease and otherwise to hold and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its businesses as now being conducted, except for such failures which have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Crystal. Crystal has no Subsidiaries (as defined below) other than those listed in Schedule 3.1, each of which is wholly-owned by Crystal, or any direct or indirect beneficial ownership of any securities, equity or other ownership interest in any Person other than those listed on Schedule 3.1.

- (b) If the Indemnifying Party, within 20days after notice of any such Third Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), fails to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party will (upon further notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect thereto, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter have no right to challenge the Indemnified Party's defense, compromise or settlement thereof.
- (c) Notwithstanding anything in this ArticleVII to the contrary (i) if there is a reasonable possibility, in the Indemnified Party's opinion, that a Third Party Claim may adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim (provided that the Indemnified Party shall not settle or consent to any judgment without first obtaining the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.
Section 7.6. Payment; Arbitration.
Upon the occurrence of a Claim or Damages, other than a Third Party Claim, for which indemnification is believed to be due under this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall provide notice of such Claim or Damages to the Indemnifying Party, stating the circumstances giving rise to the Claim or Damages, specifying the amount of the Claim or Damages and making a request for any payment then believed due. Any such claim for indemnification shall be conclusive against the Indemnifying Party in all respects 20 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice, unless within such period the Indemnifying Party sends the Indemnified Party a notice disputing the propriety of such claim. Such notice of dispute shall describe the basis for such objection and the amount of the claim as to which the Indemnifying Party does not believe should be subject to indemnification. Upon receipt of any such notice of objection, both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such dispute within the next 30 days. If a mutually acceptable resolution cannot be reached between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with such 30-day period, either party may submit the dispute for resolution by a panel of three arbitrators selected from the panels of arbitrators of the American Arbitration Association in a city mutually selected by the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party (or, if no city can be mutually agreed upon within 15 days, then in Raleigh, North Carolina); provided, however, that (i) one arbitrator shall be selected by the Indemnified Party, the second arbitrator shall be selected by the Indemnifying Party, and the third arbitrator shall be selected by the two previously selected arbitrators and (ii) in all respects, such panel shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association's then existing Commercial Arbitration Rules. If it is finally determined that all or a portion of such claim amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, within 10 days of such determination and subject to the limitations set forth herein, pay the Indemnified Party such amount owed, together with interest from the date that the Indemnified Party initially requested such payment until the date of actual payment, at an annual rate equal to the prime interest rate then generally in effect on the date of payment as set forth in The Wall Street Journal.
