ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On June 26, 2009, Pacific Alliance Corporation, a Delaware corporation “Pacific,” entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Superior Filtration Products, LLC, a Florida limited liability Company (“Superior”),  and the members of Superior  (“Superior Members”). A copy of the Exchange Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

Superior is in the business of manufacturing and marketing air filtration products. Superior offers a broad line of air filtration products and related equipment and hardware.  These products are marketed through both big box retail and independent distributor networks to the end users.  Superior began operations in January of 2008.  Superior designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of air filtration products, including (i) high-end High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters, with at least 99.97% efficiency, and Absolute Isolation Barriers for the creation of synthesized atmospheres to control manufacturing environments and for the absolute control and containment of contaminants and toxic gases in certain manufacturing processes: (ii) mid-range filters for individual and commercial use, which fall under specifications which are categorized by efficiency ratings established by the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers ("ASHRAE"); and (iii) standard-grade, low cost filters typically off-the-shelf for standard residential and commercial furnace and air conditioning applications.  Superior’s headquarters are located in Ogden, Utah.

Pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, Pacific intends to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Superior membership interests in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Pacific Series A Preferred Stock (the “Acquisition”).   If the Acquisition is closed, of which there can be no assurance, Superior will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific and the Superior Members will be controlling stockholders of Pacific. The 1,000,000 Shares of Pacific Series A Preferred Stock to be issued in the Acquisition, will be convertible into 606,600,000 shares of Pacific common stock subject to adjustment for any future reverse stock split.  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock may not be converted into common stock until Pacific either completes a reverse stock split or increases its authorized capital or both.  Pacific anticipates that in the future Pacific will seek stockholder approval to effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split.  If such reverse stock split were to occur, of which there can be no assurance, the 606,600,000 shares of Pacific common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Pacific common stock, would be reduced to 30,330,000 shares of Pacific common Stock.

Pacific anticipates that it will attempt to raise additional cash capital from the sale of its securities in order to repay debt and to be used for working capital in Superior’s operations.  Pacific is also discussing the conversion of some of its outstanding debt into shares of its common stock.  The exact terms of such debt conversion, the amount of debt to be converted and the number of shares of Pacific common stock to be issued in connection with the debt conversion, has not been determined.

Pacific anticipates that if it is able to convert a portion of its outstanding debt into equity and raise additional cash from the sale of is securities, and assuming the Exchange Agreement is closed, the Superior Members will own more than 80% of Pacific’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock assuming they convert their Series A Preferred Stock into common stock.

The closing of the Exchange Agreement is subject to numerous conditions and there can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be completed.


 
2

 

The Exchange Agreement provides that if the Acquisition is closed, the three current directors of Pacific will remain as directors of Pacific and two additional directors designated by Superior’s Members will appointed as directors of Pacific.  If the Acquisition is closed, we anticipate that the current President, Vice President and Treasurer of Pacific will resigned from their position and that Steven Clark will be appointed as our CEO, President and Treasurer.  Pacific’s current Secretary, David Knudson, is expected to remain as our corporate secretary.

Sycamore Ventures, LLC, Series 1 (“Sycamore”), an affiliate of Pacific’s current president, Mark Scharmann, and Pacific's current Secretary/Treasurer, David Knudson has agreed to loan Superior $250,000 for Superior’s use as working capital prior to the closing of the Exchange Agreement.  Such loan is to be secured by the receivables, general intangibles and chattel paper of Superior.  In exchange for Sycamore agreeing to make such loan to Superior, Pacific has agreed to issue Sycamore warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Pacific’s common stock at a price of $0.05 per share.  Such warrants will be exercisable for a term of five years.  If Pacific completes a 1-for-20 reverse stock split, the Warrant will entitle Sycamore to purchase 25,000 shares of Pacific common stock at a price of $1.00 per share.

The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, pre-closing covenants, and closing conditions, including approval of the Exchange and related transactions.

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Exchange Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.   Also attached hereto as exhibits are (i) a form of Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and (ii) the Warrant to be issued to Sycamore.

As of the date of the Exchange Agreement and currently, there were no material relationships between Pacific, or its affiliates, and Superior, other than as contemplated by the Exchange Agreement or the loan with Sycamore described above.

Section 2. Designation, Amount, Par Value and Rank. The series of preferred stock shall be designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares so designated shall be up to 1,000,000 (which shall not be subject to increase without the written consent of all of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”)). The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank prior to the common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and to all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by its terms does not rank on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (“Junior Stock”).  The Series A Preferred Stock shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter outstanding.

Section 3. Dividends.  No dividends shall accrue on the Series A Preferred Stock until after the first anniversary of the Original Issuance Date.  Thereafter, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to dividends pari passu with the Corporation’s Common Stock as though the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock.

Section 4. Voting Rights.   Each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder are convertible on the record date for the vote on such matter (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 6 hereof and except for the election of directors other than the Series A Directors) as of the record date, at each meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (and written actions of stockholders in lieu of meetings) with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders and, except as otherwise provided herein or otherwise required by law, to vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.

Section 5. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the Holders of the Series A preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any preference and each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably with the holders of the Corporation’s common stock as thought the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock.

Section 6.  Conversion.   Conversion. The Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

(a)           Right to Convert.   From and after December 1, 2009, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into 606.60 shares of the Corporation’s common stock (“Conversion Ratio”).  Notwithstanding anything else in this Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock, the Holders have no right to convert his or its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock, unless there are a sufficient number of  shares of Common Stock authorized to effect such Conversion.

(b)           Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Conversion Price.

(c)           Mechanics of Conversion.


 
3

 

(i)            In order for a Holder of Series A Preferred Stock to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such Holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at the office of the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such Holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates. Such notice shall state such Holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered Holder or his or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of receipt of such certificates and notice by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) shall be the conversion date (“Conversion Date”). The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, issue and deliver at such office to such Holder, or to his or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share. On the Conversion Date, each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock, notwithstanding that the certificates representing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have been surrendered at the office of the Corporation, that notice from the Corporation shall not have been received by any Holder of record of shares of such Series A Preferred Stock, or that the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such Holder.

(ii)            The Corporation shall, not later than December 1, 2009, cause its Certificate of Incorporation to be amended to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to such an amount as shall be necessary to allow for the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock.

(iii)            Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made for any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

(iv)            All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and terminate on the Conversion Date, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and payment of any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and canceled and shall not be reissued, and the Corporation (without the need for stockholder action) may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock accordingly.

(v)            The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

 
4

 
 
(d)           Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock or combine the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately before that subdivision or combination shall be proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately before the combination or subdivision shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(e)           Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Ratio, as applicable, then in effect by a fraction:

(i)           the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(ii)           the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series A Preferred Stock simultaneously receive (A) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event or (B) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are convertible, as of the date of such event, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of additional shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution.


 
5

 

(f)           Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for below), then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Series A Preferred 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 shares of Series A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(g)           Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by paragraphs (e) or (f) and (g) of this Section 6), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 6 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 6 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Ratio, as applicable) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(h)           Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Section 6, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Ratio then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock
.
(i)           Notice of Record Date. In the event:

(i)            that the Corporation declares a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation;

(ii)            that the Corporation subdivides or combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock;


 
6

 

(iii)            of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon), or of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with another Corporation, or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

(iv)            of a Liquidation event; then the Corporation shall cause to be filed at its principal office or at the office of the transfer agent of the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as shown on the records of the Corporation or such transfer agent, at least ten days prior to the date specified in (A) below or twenty days before the date specified in (B) below, a notice stating:

(A)            the record date of such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the Holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination are to be determined, or

(B)            the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution or winding up.

Section 8. No Redemption Rights or Requirements.  The Corporation has no right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock and a Holder has no right to require the Corporation to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock.

Section 9. Series A Directors, Board of Directors. The Holders shall have the right to the exclusion of all other classes or series of the Corporation’s capital stock, voting at a meeting of stockholders called for the purpose or by written consent, separately from the Common Stock and all other series of preferred stock, to elect two (2) individuals (the “Series A Directors”) to serve on the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Any Series A Director elected pursuant to this Section may be removed at any time without cause by, and only by, the vote, given at a meeting or by written consent of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the resignation, removal, incapacity or death of any Series A Director elected pursuant to this Section shall only be filled by the remaining Series A Director, if any, or the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Directors shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Corporation for costs and expenses in attending board meetings.

Section 10. Miscellaneous.

EXECUTION COPY

NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  AS A RESULT, THIS WARRANT AND SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY OF AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT.  THE TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT IS FURTHER RESTRICTED AS PROVIDED HEREIN.


WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK
OF PACIFIC ALLIANCE CORPORATION


EXERCISABLE ON OR BEFORE, AND VOID AFTER
5:00 P.M. UTAH TIME ON JUNE 30, 2014


This Certifies That Sycamore ventures, LLC, SERIES 1 a Utah limited liability company (the “Holder”), or registered assigns, is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from PACIFIC ALLIANCE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at any time permitted hereunder after July 1, 2009, and through June 30, 2014 (subject to the terms and provisions of this Warrant), up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein (as adjusted, the “Purchase Price”).

The shares that may be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.”  As used herein, the term “Holder” means the Holder identified in the paragraph above and any party who acquires all or a part of this Warrant as a registered transferee of such Holder.  The term “Convertible Securities” means any stock or other securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, Company common stock. This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

1.           Exercise.  The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of common stock), by written Notice of Exercise (in the form attached hereto) delivered to the Company at its principal office prior to the expiration of this Warrant and accompanied or preceded by the surrender of this Warrant, along with a check in payment of the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased hereunder (unless this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to Section 9 below).  The right to exercise this Warrant shall vest only upon a change in control of the Company, which shall be deemed to occur upon any of the following:  (a) an acquisition by one or more individuals, entities or associations of effective control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital stock, by contract or otherwise) of more than 33% of the voting securities of the Company, or (b) a merger, acquisition or consolidation of the Company or any of its affiliates (specifically including but not limited to a subsidiary), with or into any other entity or association, or the merger or consolidation of any other entity or association with or into the Company or any of its affiliates (specifically including but not limited to a subsidiary).

 
 

 

As used herein, the term “affiliates” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term under the Securities Act of 1933.

2.           Exchange and Replacement.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant.  This Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company upon the surrender hereof in connection with any exchange or replacement.

3.           Issuance of the Warrant Shares.

(a)           Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) below, certificates for the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding five business days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been exercised in accordance with the requirements hereof, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder within such time.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to recognize any exercise, or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares upon attempted exercise, of this Warrant except in accordance with exemptions from the applicable securities, registration requirements or registrations under applicable securities laws.  The Company shall not be obligated to effect a registration of the Warrant Shares under federal or state securities laws unless specifically so provided herein.  The Holder agrees to execute such documents and make such representations, warranties and agreements as may be required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon by the Company, or the registrations made, for the issuance of the Warrant Shares or their later resale pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company.

4.           Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of common stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

5.           Purchase Price and Warrant Share Adjustments. The provisions of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 5.

(a)            Subject to paragraph (b) below, in case the Company shall hereafter:  (i) pay any dividends on any class of stock of the Company payable in common stock or Convertible Securities; (ii) subdivide its then-outstanding shares of common stock into a greater number of shares; or (iii) combine outstanding shares of common stock, by reclassification or otherwise; then, in any such event, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (A) the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, multiplied by the then-existing Purchase Price, by (B) the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after such event (including in each case the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable in respect of any Convertible Securities), and the resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Purchase Price.

 
2

 

An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.  All calculations under this paragraph shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100 of a share, as the case may be.

(b)            In case of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company), there shall be no adjustment under paragraph (a) above but the Holder of this Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert this Warrant into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, and any other property, which he, she or it would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange sale or conveyance had such Warrant been converted immediately prior to the effective date of such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance.  The provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances.

6.           No Voting Rights.  This Warrant by itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

7.           Notice of Transfer of Warrant or Resale of the Warrant Shares.

(a)            By acceptance hereof, the Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company before transferring this Warrant or transferring any Warrant Shares of such Holder’s intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of any proposed transfer.  If in the opinion of counsel to the Company the proposed transfer may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal and state securities laws), the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant or to dispose of Warrant Shares received upon the previous exercise of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company; provided, however, that an appropriate legend may be endorsed on this Warrant or the certificates for such Warrant Shares respecting restrictions upon transfer thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of counsel and satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which would be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and applicable state securities laws; and provided further that the prospective transferee or purchaser shall execute such documents and make such representations, warranties, and agreements as may be required solely to. comply with the exemptions relied upon by the Company for the transfer of disposition of the Warrant or Warrant Shares.

(b)            If, in the opinion of counsel referred to in this Section 7, the proposed transfer or disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares described in the written notice given pursuant to this Section 7 may not be effected without registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holder, and the Holder will limit its activities in respect to such transfer or disposition as, in the opinion of both such counsel, are permitted by law.

8.           No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares will be issued upon the exercise hereof.

 
3

 

9.           Net Issue Exercise.  In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment of any additional consideration, a number of Warrant Shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant to the Company together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise (in the form attached hereto) in which the appropriate alternative is initialed by the Holder.  In such event, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares computed by applying the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)
             A

Where:

 
X
=
the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
 
 
Y
=
the number of Warrant Shares subject to this warrant (or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the number of Warrant Sharessubject to the portion of this Warrant being exercised);
 
 
A
=
the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share (at the date of such exercise); and
 
 
B
=
the Purchase Price, as adjusted to the date of such calculation.

For purposes of the above, the “Fair Market Value” of one share shall equal the average of the closing sale prices of the common stock quoted on a Nasdaq Stock Market, the AMEX, or NYSE (collectively, a “Stock Exchange”), or listed in the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (or the Pink Sheets) or the closing price quoted on any national securities exchange on which such securities are listed, whichever is applicable, for the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of determination of Fair Market Value (or, if no sales take place on any such trading day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such trading day).  If, however, the common stock is not traded on a Stock Exchange or the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board or Pink Sheets, the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.

10.           Registration Rights.

(a)           Subject to paragraph (d) of this Section, each time the Company shall determine to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act, in connection with the proposed offer and sale for money of any of its securities by it (other than a registration on Form S-8, S-4 or any successor forms or other inappropriate forms), the Company will give written notice of its determination to Holder.  Upon the written request of Holder given within 30 days after receipt of any such notice from the Company, the Company will, except as herein provided, cause all Warrant Shares with respect to which Holder has requested registration to be included in such registration statement, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by Holder of the shares to be so registered; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from, at any time, abandoning or delaying any such registration initiated by it.  If any such registration pertains to an underwritten offering in whole or in part, the Company may require that the shares requested for inclusion by Holder pursuant to this section be included in the underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the underwriters.


 
4

 

If, in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering, the inclusion of all of the Warrant Shares originally covered by a request for registration made by Holder would reduce the amount of securities to be offered by the Company or interfere with the successful marketing of the securities to be offered by the Company, the number of Warrant Shares owned by or issuable to Holder and otherwise to be included in the underwritten offering may be reduced.  Any Warrant Shares which are thus excluded from the underwritten offering shall be withheld from the market by Holder for a period, not to exceed 180 days, that the managing underwriter reasonably determines is necessary in order to effect the underwritten offering.

(b)           If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 10(a) to effect the registration of any Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, the Company will:

(i)           prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement with respect to such shares, and use reasonable commercial efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for such period as may be reasonably necessary to effect the sale of such shares, not to exceed two years from the date of issuance of the covered Warrant Shares;

(ii)           prepare and file with the SEC such amendments to such registration statement and supplements to the prospectus contained therein as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for such period as may be reasonably necessary to effect the sale of such securities, not to exceed two years from the date of issuance of the covered Warrant Shares;

(iii)           furnish to Holder and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as Holder and underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities;

(iv)           use reasonable commercial efforts to register or qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the underwriters may reasonably request within 20 days following the original filing of such registration statement, except that the Company shall not for any purpose be required to execute a general consent to service of process or to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified; and

(v)           prepare and promptly file with the SEC any amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to such securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.


 
5

 

(c)           With respect to any registration of shares pursuant to Section 10(a), the Company shall bear the following fees, costs and expenses:  all registration, filing and NASD fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company, fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriter or underwriters of such securities (if the Company and/or selling security holders are required to bear such fees and disbursements), all internal Company expenses, the premiums and other costs of policies of insurance against liability arising out of the public offering, and all legal fees and disbursements and other expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdictions in which the securities to be offered are to be registered or qualified.  Fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for Holder, underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes for Holder and any other expenses incurred by Holder not expressly included above shall be borne by Holder.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be obligated to register the resale of any Warrant Shares purchased for cash  or purchased to Section 9 which have been outstanding for more than one year.

In Witness Whereof, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed by its duly authorized officer.
