RECITALS

WHEREAS, DEAC and POM are parties to that certain Definitive Agreement, dated May 20, 2016 (the "Definitive Agreement"), attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire one hundred percent (100%) of the ownership interest in POM, in the form of three (3) separate closings beginning on or before May 27, 2016, subject to certain performance requirements of both parties as set forth in the Definitive Agreement.
