The authority herein granted to the Board of Directors to determine the rights and preferences of the preferred stock shall be limited to supplying such terms in the case of unissued shares, and no power shall exist to alter or change the terms of any shares which previously have been issued.

Section 2. Destination of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

The following series of Preferred Stock is hereby designated, which series shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and limitations as set forth below in this Section 2 below.

A. Series A Convertibly Preferred Stock.

The series of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, consisting of 107,700 shares, having a par value of $3.25, shall be designated herein as the “Series A Stock” and shall be convertible into shares of the corporation’s Common Stock, as described in Section 2(E).

B. Dividends.

Dividends shall be declared and set aside for any shares of the Series A Stock only upon resolution of the Board; provided that:

1. Preference. Holders of Series A Stock, in preference to the holders of shares of any other capital stock of the corporation, shall be entitled to receive, on a quarterly basis, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of Excess Cash, as defined below, and funds that are legally available therefor, cumulative cash dividends at the prime interest rate as announced on the date that the dividend is declared by U.S. Bank, or, if such bank no longer announces a prime rate, or, if more than one rate, the average prime rate, as set forth in the Wall Street Journal plus one percent of the “Original Issue Price” per annum on each outstanding share of Series A Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares). The Original Issue Price of the Series A Stock shall be $3.25 per share. Excess Cash, for purposes of this Section 2, shall mean cash that is available from operations less the following amounts: (a) a reserve equal to the amount of cash required for three months of operations, excluding capital expenditures, as determined by the Board of Directors; (b) the amount of current liabilities, including, without limitation, the current portion of any long term indebtedness and interest thereon; and (c) the amount of taxes and franchise licenses and fees that are due and payable in the ordinary course of business.

2. Deferred Dividends. Holders of Series A Stock, in preference to the holders of any other stock of the corporation, shall be entitled to receive, upon the conversion of the Series A Stock, as provided in Section 2(E) below, or upon redemption

 

- 2 -


of such stock pursuant to Section 2(H) below, in cash or in stock, at the option of the corporation, when and as declared by the corporation, but only out of funds that are legally available therefor, a dividend at the rate of 5% of the Original Issue Price per annum on each outstanding share of Series A Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares).

3. Restriction. So long as any shares of Series A Stock shall remain outstanding, no dividend, whether in cash or property, shall be paid or declared, nor shall any other distribution be made, on any Common Stock if (a) the net assets of the corporation after such event would be insufficient to make the liquidation payment described in Section 2(C) on the Series A Stock (whether or not such payment is actually to be paid), and (b) the dividends due to holders of Series A Stock pursuant to Sections 2(B)(1) and (2) shall not have been paid in full.

3. Equal or Greater Dividend. No cash dividends shall be declared on the Common Stock unless or until a cash dividend in an amount equal to or greater than the dividend declared on the Common Stock (dividends shall be compared on an as-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) shall have been paid to, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for the Series A Stock.

C. Liquidation Rights.

Upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the corporation, the assets of the corporation available for distribution to its shareholders shall be distributed in the following order and amounts:

1. General. First, the holders of shares of Series A Stock shall be entitled to receive $3.25 for each outstanding share of Series A Stock held by them plus any accrued but unpaid dividends as set forth in Section 2(B)(1) and otherwise (the “Series A Liquidation Amount”). If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets of the corporation shall be insufficient to permit the payment of the full Series A Liquidation Amount, then the assets of the corporation available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the shares of Series A Stock in the same proportions as the full Series A Liquidation Amount each such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive bears to the total of the full Series A Liquidation Amount that would otherwise be payable to all holders of Series A Stock, and no distribution to other shareholders of the corporation shall be made. The holders of shares of Series A Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution other than the Series A Liquidation Amount, or to share in the remaining assets of the corporation upon the completion of the distribution of the full Series A Liquidation Amount upon the happening of an event the subject of this Section 2(C).

2. Treatment of Consolidation, Mergers and Sales of Assets. The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation or the acquisition of the corporation by another entity by means of merger or otherwise resulting in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the corporation for securities of or consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring entity or any of its affiliates shall be regarded as a

liquidation within the meaning of this Section 2(C), provided, however, that each holder of Series A Stock shall have the right to elect the benefits of the conversion provisions of Section 2(E) in lieu of receiving payment in liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the corporation pursuant to this Section 2(C); provided, further that this provision shall not apply if the shareholders of the corporation immediately prior to such transaction will own a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving corporation

3. Distributions Other Than Cash. Whether the distribution provided for in this Section 2(C) shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors

D. Voting Power.

Each holder of Series A Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters and shall be entitled to that number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Series A Stock could be converted under Section 2(E), at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter, or, if no such record date is established, at the date on which notice of the meeting of sharerholders at which the vote is to be taken is mailed, or the date any written consent of shareholders is solicited if the vote is not to be taken at a meeting. Except as otherwise expressly provided by these Articles of Incorporation or by the Oregon Business Corporation Act, the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters.

E. Conversion Rights.

The holders of Series A Stock shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of Series A Stock into shares of Common Stock:

1. General. At any time after January 2, 1999, immediately before the closing of a primary, public offering (a “Qualifying Initial Public Offering”) by the corporation of shares of Common Stock, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in which the aggregate offering proceeds are at least $500,000 (before deduction of underwriters’ discounts and commissions and expenses of the offering) and the per share price as which such shares of Common Stock are offered to the public is at least $1.00 (appropriately adjusted to reflect the occurrence of any split or combination of shares of Common Stock, as described at Section 2(E)(4)(e)) or upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation, any share of the Series A Stock, at the option of the holder, may be converted at any time into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Series A Conversion Rate (determined under Section 2(E)(2)) by the number of shares of Series A Stock being converted.

2. Conversion Rate. The conversion rate for Series A Stock in effect at any time (the “Series A Conversion Rate”) shall equal $3.25 divided by the Series A Conversion Price, calculated as provided in Section 2(E)(3).

 

- 4 -


3. Conversion Price. The conversion price for Series A Stock in effect from time to time, except as adjusted in accordance with Section 2(E)(4), shall be $3.25 (the “Series A Conversion Price”).

4. Adjustments to Applicable Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment at the times, and in accordance with the provisions as follows:

(a) Adjustments for Issuance of Shares at less than the Conversion Price. If and whenever any shares of Additional Common Stock, as defined below, shall be issued by the corporation (the “Stock Issue Date”) for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price, the Series A Conversion Price in effect upon such issuance (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2(E)(4)) shall be adjusted to a price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the total computed under clause (x) below by the total computed under clause (y) below, as follows:

(x) an amount equal to the sum of (1) the result obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding immediately before such issuance (which shall include the actual number of shares outstanding plus all shares reserved for issuance upon the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock) by the Series A Conversion Price then in effect and (2) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by this Corporation upon the issuance of such Additional Stock; and

(y) the number of shares of Common Stock of this Corporation outstanding immediately after such issuance (including the shares deemed outstanding as provided above).

No adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than $.01 per share; provided, however, that any adjustments which are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made to the Series A Conversion Price. Except as provided in subparagraphs 2(E)(4)(c)(iii) and (iv) below, no adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price above the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before such adjustment.

(b) Sale of Shares. In case of the issuance of shares of Additional Common Stock for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount of the cash consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of the cash received by the corporation for such shares, after any compensation or discount in the sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others performing similar services or for any expenses incurred in connection therewith. In case of the issuance of any shares of Additional Common Stock for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration therefor, other than cash, shall be deemed to be the then Fair Market Value, as defined below, of the property received.

 

- 5 -


(c) Options to Purchase or Rights to Subscribe. In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities (which options, rights, or convertible or exchangeable securities are not excluded from the definition of Additional Common Stock), the following provisions shall apply:

(i) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in Section 2(E)(4)(b) received by the corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby, but no further adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of such options or rights in accordance with their terms;

(ii) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued for a consideration equal to the consideration received by the corporation for any such securities and related options or rights, plus the additional consideration, if any, to be received by the corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Section 2(E)(4)(b)), but no further adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion or exchange of such securities in accordance with their terms;

(iii) if such options, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the corporation, or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Series A Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof, and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such increase or decease become effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease with respect to such options, rights and securities not already exercised, converted or exchanged before such increase or decrease becoming effective, but no further adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities in accordance with their terns;

(iv) upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange, or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Series A Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have been

 

- 6 -


obtained had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance of such options, rights or securities or options or rights related made upon the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities; and

(v) if any such options or rights shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the corporation, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such options or rights by the panics thereto, such options or rights shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(d) Split Up, Dividend or Combination of Shares. In case issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or split up into a greater number of shares of the Common Stock, or shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a dividend or otherwise distributed on outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in case issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased, such increase or decrease, as the case may be, becoming effective at the time of record of the split-up or combination, as the case may be.

(e) Additional Common Stock. The term “Additional Common Stock” herein shall mean all shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock issued by the corporation after the date of first issuance of Series A Stock other than: (i) Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 2(E)(4)(c)) upon the conversion of any of the Series A Stock; (ii) Common Stock issued upon exercise of any warrants, stock purchase options or other convertible securities issued and outstanding as of the date that the Series A Stock was first issued; (iii) Common Stock issued pursuant to exercise of any incentive stock option plan for the officers, directors, or key personnel of the corporation currently established at any time or as may be established in the future; or (iv) Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 2(E)(4)(d).

(a) Distributions to Common Stock Holders. In the event of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock of any stock, indebtedness of the corporation or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions from retained earnings) or other rights to purchase securities or assets, then, after such event, the Series A Stock will be convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property which the holder of the Series A Stock would have been entitled to receive if the holder owned the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such event.

(b) Reorganization or Reclassification. In case of any capital reorganization, reclassification of the stock of the corporation (other than a change in par value or as a result of a stock dividend, subdivision, split up or combination of shares), or consolidation or merger of the corporation with or into another person or entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any change in the Common Stock) or of the sale, exchange, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the corporation as an entirety or the participation by the corporation in share exchange as the corporation the stock of which is to be acquired, the Series A Stock shall be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the corporation (or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such properties and assets shall have been sold, exchanged, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed, or which was the corporation whose securities were exchanged for those of the corporation), to which the holder of the Series A Stock would have been entitled to receive if the holder owned the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. The provisions of these foregoing sentence shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, exchanges, leases, transfers or other dispositions or other share exchanges.

6. Fair Market Value. The term “Fair Market Value,” as used herein, is the value ascribed to consideration other than cash as determined by the Board of Directors of the corporation in good faith, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding. If the Board of Directors shall be unable to agree as to such fair market value, then the issue of fair market value shall be submitted to arbitration under and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association, and the decision of the arbitrators shall be final, conclusive and binding, and a final judgment may be entered thereon; provided, however, that such arbitration shall be limited to determination of the fair market value of assets tendered in consideration for the issue of Common Stock.

7. Notice of Adjustment.

(a) Notice. In the event the corporation shall propose to take any action which shall result in an adjustment in the Conversion Price, the corporation shall give notice to the holders of the Series A Stock, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to such action and the date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall be given on or before the earlier of 30 days before the record date or the date which such action shall be taken. Such notice shall also set forth all facts (to the extent known) material to the effect of such action on the Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable or purchasable upon the occurrence of such action or deliverable upon conversion of the Series A Stock.

(b) Statement. Following completion of an event wherein the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, the Corporation shall furnish to the holders of Series A Stock a statement, signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the corporation, of the facts creating such adjustment and specifying the resultant adjusted Conversion Price then in effect.

8. Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Stock shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock of the corporation, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for at Section 2(E)(4)(d)), then and in each such event the holder of each share of Series A Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Stock might have been converted immediately before such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

9. Exercise of Conversion Privilege. To exercise its conversion privilege, a holder of Series A Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the shares being converted to the corporation at its principal office, and, shall give written notice to the corporation at that office that such holder elects to convert such shares. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be issued. The certificate or certificates for shares of Series A Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by proper assignment thereof to the corporation or in blank. The date when such written notice is received by the corporation, together with the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A Stock being converted, shall be the “Conversion Date.” As promptly as practicable after the Conversion Date, the corporation shall issue and shall deliver to the holder of the shares of Series A Stock being converted, or on its written order, such certificate or certificates as it may request for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Series A Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2(E), cash in the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A Stock up to and including the Conversion Date, and cash, as provided in Section 2(E)(10), in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately before the close of business on the Conversion Date, and at such time the rights of the holder as holder of the converted shares of Series A Stock shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or Certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby.

10. Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of shares of Series A Stock, but the corporation shall pay to the holder of such shares a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional shares in an amount equal to the same fraction of the market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in a reasonable manner prescribed by the Board of Directors) at the close of business on the Conversion Date. The determination as to whether or not any fractional shares are issuable shall be based upon the total number of shares of Series A Stock being converted at any one time by any holder thereof, not upon each share of Series A Stock being converted.

11. Partial Conversion. In the event that some but not all of the shares of Series A Stock represented by a certificate or certificates surrendered by a holder are converted, the corporation shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the holder, at the expense of the corporation, a new certificate representing the shares of Series A Stock that were not converted.

12 Reservation of Common Stock. The corporation at all times shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as from time to time shall be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Stock and, if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Stock, the corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

F. No Reissuance of Stock.

No share or shares of Series A Stock redeemed, converted, purchased or otherwise acquired by the corporation shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the corporation shall be authorized to issue.

2. Redemption Price. The redemption price per share of Series A Stock shall be $3.25 plus accrued but unpaid dividends as set forth in Section 2(B) and otherwise (the “Series A Redemption Price”).

3. Notice of Redemption. Any holder of Series A Stock desiring to exercise its redemption rights upon the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 2(G)(1) above shall give written notice to the corporation stating the number of shares of Series A Stock such holder desires to have redeemed. At any time or from time to time when the corporation shall receive a notice requesting such redemption, the corporation shall, within ten business days of receiving such notice, mail a written notice (a “Redemption Notice”), postage prepaid, to each holder of record of Series A Stock, at the address last shown on the records of the corporation, with a copy of the Redemption

4. Surrender of Stock. Each holder of Series A Stock seeking redemption shall surrender the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares to the corporation at any place designated for such surrender by the corporation and shall then be entitled to receive payment in cash, by wire transfer or by bank-certified check of the Series A Redemption Price for each share of Series A Stock to be redeemed. If less than all the shares represented by a share certificate are to be redeemed, the corporation shall issue a new certificate representing the shares not redeemed.

5. Status of Redeemed Shares. From and after the Redemption Date, unless default shall be made by the corporation in paying the Series A Redemption Price at the time and place specified by the corporation, all dividends on shares of Series A Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall cease to accrue and all rights of holders of such shares shall cease, except the right of holders of such shares to receive the Series A Redemption Price against delivery of certificates representing such shares and such shares shall cease to be outstanding.

H. Redemption by the Corporation.

1. Right to Redeem. The Corporation, at any time, if it may lawfully do so, at the option of the Board of Directors, may redeem, in whole or in part, from any one or more holders, shares of the Series A Stock by paying in cash therefor $3.25 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends as set forth in Section 2(B) (such total amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Price”).

2. Notice to Holders. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of the Series A Stock (the “Redemption Date”), written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of the Series A Stock to be redeemed, at its post office address last shown on the records of the corporation, of the corporation’s election to redeem such shares, specifying the Redemption Date and the date on which such holder’s conversion rights (as set forth in Section 2(E)) as to such shares terminate, in accordance with Section 2(H)(3) below, disclosing to such holder any and all proposed, contemplated or anticipated transaction or other events that a reasonable investor would desire in connection with making a decision to convert the Series A Stock to Common Stock and calling upon such holder to surrender to the corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, the certificate or certificates representing the shares to the corporation, in the manner and at the place

 

- 11 -


designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price, all rights of the holders of such shares as holders of the Series A Stock of the corporation (except the right to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.

3. Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a call for redemption of any shares of Series A Stock pursuant to this Section 2(H), the conversion rights shall terminate as to the shares designated for redemption at the close of business on the fifth (5th) day preceding the Redemption Date (and not earlier), unless default is made in the payment of the Redemption Price.

This Agreement and each other agreement contemplated by this Agreement, when executed and delivered by the parties thereto, will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of OCHI, enforceable against OCHI in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or judicial limits on equitable remedies.

5.4. Governmental Authorities. (a) OCHI is not required to submit any notice, report, or other filing with any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with OCHI’s execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the conversion of the MPG Shares into shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and (b) no consent, approval, or authorization of any governmental or regulatory authority is required to be obtained by OCHI in connection with OCHI’s execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the conversion of the MPG Shares into shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Page 6 – AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER


5.6. No Adverse Consequences. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by OCHI nor the consummation of the conversion of the MPG Shares into shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation will (a) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest, charge, or encumbrance on any of OCHI’s assets or properties, (b) violate or conflict with any provision of OCHI’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, (c) violate any law, judgment, order, injunction, decree, rule, regulation, or ruling of any governmental authority applicable to OCHI, or (d) either alone or with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, conflict with, constitute grounds for termination or acceleration of, result in the breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, result in the loss of any benefit to OCHI under, or constitute a default under (whether by virtue of the application of a “change of control” provision or otherwise) any agreement, instrument, license, or permit to which OCHI is a party or by which it is bound.

5.7. Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.7, (a) there are no actions, suits, proceedings, orders, investigations, or claims pending or, to OCHI’s knowledge, threatened against OCHI or its property, at law or in equity, or before or by any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency, or instrumentality, (b) OCHI is not subject to any arbitration proceedings under collective bargaining agreements or otherwise or, to OCHI’s knowledge, any governmental investigations or inquiries, and (c) to OCHI’s knowledge, there is no basis for any of the foregoing.

5.8. Compliance with Laws. OCHI is in material compliance with all laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, orders, judgments, or decrees applicable to it, the enforcement of which, if OCHI were not in compliance therewith, would have a material adverse effect on the business of OCHI. OCHI has not received any notice of any asserted present or past failure by OCHI to comply with such laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, orders, judgments, or decrees.

5.9. Financial Statements. OCHI’s financial statements, true and complete copies of which have previously been delivered to MPG, present fairly the financial position, assets and liabilities of OCHI as of the dates thereof and the revenues, expenses, results of operations and cash flows of OCHI for the periods covered thereby, all in accordance with GAAP, as historically applied by OCHI. OCHI’s financial statements are in accordance with the books and records of OCHI, and do not reflect any transactions which are not bona fide transactions.

The accounts and notes receivable of OCHI reflected in OCHI’s financial statements are valid, existing and genuine and represent sales actually made or services actually delivered by OCHI, in bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; and there is no material right of set-off or counterclaim or threat thereof that would jeopardize the collectability of such accounts and notes receivable at the aggregate recorded amounts thereof.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the schedules, attachments, certificates, or other items prepared or supplied to MPG by or on behalf of OCHI with respect to the conversion of the MPG Shares into shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make each statement contained herein or therein not misleading.

From that time, the Surviving Corporation, to the extent consistent with its articles of incorporation, as altered by the Merger, will possess all the rights, privileges, immunities, and franchises of each of the Constituent Entities, all property belonging to CJS-OCH and CJS-Yakima will be transferred, by operation of law, to and vest in the Surviving Corporation without further act or deed, and the Surviving Corporation will be responsible for all liabilities of each of the Constituent Entities, all in the manner and with the effect set forth in ORS 60.497, ORS 63.497, and ROW 25.15.410.

1.2. Further Assurances. From time to time after the Effective Date, Christopher J., Shepanek, the CEO of OCHI, the President of CJS-OCH, and the authorized representative of CJS-Yakima, will execute and deliver such deeds and other instruments and will cause to be taken such further actions, as will reasonably be necessary, in order to vest or perfect in the Surviving Corporation title to and possession of all the property, interest, assets, rights, privileges, immunities, and franchises of CJS-OCH and CJS-Yakima.

1.3. Filing Date. The Merger of the Constituent Entities will become effective on the date of the filing of the Articles of Merger in Oregon and Washington pursuant to ORS 60.494 and RCW 25.15.405, whichever is later (the “Filing bate”); provided, however, that the Constituent Entities agree to treat the Merger as being effective as of the Effective Date for all other purposes.
