 Exhibit 10.5 
 TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT 
 This Transition Services Agreement, dated as of December 29,
2007 (this “Agreement”), is between Phoenix Footwear Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), Tactical Holdings, Inc. a Delaware Corporation (“Buyer”), and Altama Delta Corporation, a Georgia corporation
(“Altama” and together and jointly and severally with Buyer, the “Buyer Parties”). Seller and the Buyer Parties are sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” and together as the
“Parties.” 
 WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof
(the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller will sell to Buyer and Buyer will acquire from Seller all of the outstanding capital stock of Altama; 
 WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement that Seller and the Buyer Parties have entered into this Agreement pursuant to which Seller
will provide certain services to Altama in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein for a period described herein on and after such Closing; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
 1. Services. 
 (a) In order to continue the operation of the Altama Business and to facilitate
the orderly and effective transition of the ownership of Altama from Seller to Buyer, the Seller shall provide or cause to be provided to Altama the Services set forth in Annex A (each, a “Service” and together, the
“Services”), a copy of which is attached to and made a part of this Agreement. 
 (b) In each case as identified on Annex
A, Seller shall provide the Services to Altama for a term commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date set forth on Annex A for each Service, unless the provision of such Service or this Agreement is earlier terminated in
accordance with Sections 2(d) and 5 hereof, respectively. 
 (c) The Buyer Parties agree that in consideration for Seller’s undertakings
herein, the Buyer Parties shall pay Seller in immediately available funds, $750,000 on February 29, 2008, $500,000 on April 1, 2008 and $250,000 on July 1, 2008. If any payment is not made when due, interest shall accrue thereon at
the rate of 12% per annum until paid in full. 
 (d) Additionally, the Buyer Parties shall pay Seller (a) $25,000 per month for up
to four months, with the first such payment due on February 1, 2008 and the first day of each of the next three calendar months thereafter, in connection with the Services described in Annex A under the headings “IT”,
“Credit and Accounts Receivable”, “Accounts Payable”, “Financial Reporting” and “Ecommerce” (provided if all of such Services (other than those Services designated on Annex A as continuing for 180 days)
are 







 
terminated prior to a payment date, then a pro rated portion of the next monthly payment shall due on the next monthly payment date based on the number of
days in the current month which elapsed prior to termination) and (b) the additional rates, fees and charges associated with the Services that are also set forth in Annex A. 
 (e) The Buyer Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the payments under Section 1(c) are not subject to any right of offset, counterclaim or
deduction of any kind as a result of claims or liability of Seller under the Stock Purchase Agreement or any other Seller Transaction Documents or any claim of non-performance or breach of this Agreement or duty to either of the Buyer Parties or any
of their Affiliates. As a result, the Buyer Parties further acknowledge that such payments shall be irrevocably and unconditionally due and payable on the dates set forth above under all circumstances, including any termination of this Agreement.

 2. Performance of Services. 
 (a) Seller agrees that it shall provide the Services being requested herein exercising substantially the same degree of care as its exercises in performing the same or similar services for its own account (or for the
account of Altama prior to the date hereof). 
 (b) Any data, information, equipment or general directions historically provided by Altama to
Seller in connection with the Services shall be submitted to Seller in a manner consistent with past practice. 
 (c) Subject in all cases to
Section 2(a), under no circumstances shall Seller be obligated to: (i) maintain the employment of any specific employee or number of employees; (ii) hire any employees in addition to the employees who are currently employed by Seller
for the provision of Services for the benefit of the Altama Business; (iii) acquire, lease or license additional systems, equipment or software in order to provide the Services; or (iv) pay any expenses on Altama’s behalf other than
with funds provided in advance to Seller. Seller shall only be required to provide the Services to or for the benefit of the Altama Business as conducted prior to the Closing Date (and any expansion or increase thereof in the Ordinary Course of
Business). 
 (d) Prior to the end of the first full calendar month following the Closing and prior to the end of every calendar month
thereafter, the Parties will review the Services provided to discuss whether the Services will remain at the same level or decrease during the next immediately succeeding month. Altama may determine and notify Seller in writing the level of
reduction in Services being provided, it being understood that Altama shall have the right, but not the obligation, to receive each Service for the period described on Annex A and any reduction in any Service prior to the expiration of any
such term shall be at Altama’s sole discretion. The termination of any one or more of the specific Services shall have no impact on Seller’s obligation to continue to provide any other Services. Any such termination of a Service shall have
no effect on the fees payable under Section 1(c) above. The Buyer Parties shall not be required to pay the additional rates, fees and charges associated with the Services described on Annex A with respect to any Service terminated by
Altama. 






 (e) THIS IS A SERVICE AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THERE ARE NO EXPRESS
WARRANTIES OR GUARANTIES, AND THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR GUARANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
STATED HEREIN, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. 
 (f) SELLER SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE TO BUYER, ALTAMA OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES FOR ANY EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. 
 3. Software. Where necessary, Seller and Altama shall jointly conduct negotiations with the providers (“Third Party
Providers”) of any software to be used by Seller in providing Services under this Agreement (“Third Party Software”), to obtain the consent of such Third Party Providers and, where necessary, new or similar agreements with
such Third Party Providers, so that the Third Party Software can be used during the term of this Agreement by Seller to perform the Services. To the extent that any additional fees are requested by the Third Party providers for such consents, the
Buyer Parties will be responsible such fees provided that if the Buyer Parties do not consent to paying a particular fee, then Seller shall be relieved of its obligation to provide the Services with respect to that particular software. 

4. No Conflicts. The parties hereto represent and warrant to one another that neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor
the performance of the obligations contemplated hereby or thereby, will (except with respect to the software contemplated in Section 3) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in
any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which its assets is subject.

 5. Term of Agreement. 
 (a) Subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 5(b) below, this Agreement shall become effective on the Closing and shall continue in effect until the termination of all Services, at which time it shall terminated. All payment
obligations hereunder (including interest) shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all payments provided for hereunder have been paid in full. 
 (b) Seller may terminate this Termination Services Agreement with written notice to the Buyer Parties (which notice shall provide a five (5) Business Day cure period) upon any failure of the Buyer Parties to make
the payments provided for in Section 1(c) above when due or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Promissory Note and Pledge Security Agreement of even date herewith executed and delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant the Stock
Purchase Agreement. Upon any such termination, all of the payments due under Section 1(c) shall become immediately due and payable and the payments under Section 1(d) shall be due on a pro rated basis through the termination date.

 (a) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns.

among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

their respective successors and permitted assigns. Either Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder, provided that the Buyer Parties may only do so in connection with a sale of the Altama
Business and in such event the Buyer Parties shall remain fully liable for all payments due hereunder.
