Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 20, 2006, Jordan 1 Holdings Company (the “Company”) entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the equity of Delaware Fastener Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“DFAC”), pursuant to an exchange agreement with the stockholders of DFAC. Contemporaneously, DFAC acquired the assets, subject to certain liabilities, of Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. (“Freundlich Supply”), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) dated May 24, 2006 among DFAC, Freundlich Supply, and Michael Freundlich. The purchase of the assets was financed by the proceeds from the sale by the Company of its securities pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). As a result of the Exchange Agreement, DFAC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon completion of the foregoing transactions, Company changed its name to Precision Aerospace Components, Inc. and DFAC changed its name to Freundlich Supply Company, Inc.

The following is a summary of the agreements which the Company entered into in connection with these transactions on July 20, 2006.

Purchase Agreement

The Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Barron Partners LP and Richard Henri Kreger. pursuant to which the investors purchased the Company’s promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000, 5,277,778 shares of its series A convertible preferred stock (the “series A preferred stock”) which are convertible into 15,833,334 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 10,541,000 shares of common stock at $.35 per share and 10,541,000 shares of common stock at $.60 per share. The following table sets forth the investment by each of the investors, the principal amount of note received, the number of shares of series A preferred stock issued and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock (the “Conversion Shares”) and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of each set of warrants, and the total number of shares (“Total Shares) of common stock issuable if the Note, series A preferred stock and all warrants are converted or exercises, as the case may be.

The numbers under the column “Warrants” represents the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each set of warrants. Thus, the investors have an equal number of warrants exercisable at $.35 per share as those exercisable at $.60 per share. All numbers of shares of common stock referred to in the description of the Purchase Agreement reflect a one-for-150 reverse split, which was approved by the directors and is subject to stockholder approval.

The Purchase Agreement provides that, within 120 days from the July 20, 2006 closing, the Company will file a restated certificate of incorporation that will (i) change the authorized capital stock to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 90,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) effect a one-for-150 reverse split of the common stock. The number of shares of common stock in the foregoing table reflects the one-for-150 reverse split. The number of Total Shares, without giving effect to the reverse split, would be 5,309,760,600 shares for Barron Partners and 524,989,500 shares for Mr. Kreger. The Company has an authorized common stock of 100,000,000 shares. As a result, the investors will not have the ability to convert the note or series A preferred stock or exercise the warrants in full unless the reverse split is effected. If the reverse split is not effective on or prior to the 120 th day after the closing, the Company is required to pay the investors liquidated damages in an amount equal to 5% of the investment made by the investors, which would be $287,500.

The note is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $.30 per share. Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible into common stock at a conversion rate of three shares of common stock for each share of series A preferred stock. The conversion rate is based on a conversion price of $.30 per share of common stock, based on the purchase price of the preferred stock divided by the number of shares of commons stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock. The conversion price of the note and the conversion rate of the series A preferred stock are subject to adjustment in certain instances, including the issuance by the Company of stock at a price which is less than the conversion price.

The Purchase Agreement as well as the note, the certificate of designation for the series A preferred stock and the warrants provide for an adjustment in the conversion price of the note and series A preferred stock and the exercise price of the warrants if the Company’s consolidated pre-tax income, as defined, is less than $.034 per share on a fully-diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2006 and less than $.051 per share for the year ended December 31, 2007. The maximum reduction in the purchase price for either year is 35%. Fully-diluted pre-tax income is based on the number of shares of common stock which are outstanding or are otherwise issuable, regardless of whether such shares would be included in determining diluted earnings per share under generally accepted accounting principles.

The following table sets forth the initial conversion price of the notes, the conversion ratio for the series A preferred stock and the exercise price of the $.35 and $.60 warrants and the adjusted numbers if (a) the pre-tax income per share for each of the two years was 20% below the respective targets (a “20% shortfall”) and (b) the pre-tax income per share for each of the two years was 35% or more below the targets (a “35% shortfall”). The number of shares reflects the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the note or the series A preferred stock, and are based on the assumption that no notes or preferred stock are converted into common stock until the adjustment has been made for 2007. There is no adjustment in the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Conversion Price relates to both the note and the series A preferred stock, and the number of shares reflects the number of shares issuable upon full conversion of note and the conversion of all of the shares of series A preferred stock.

The Series A preferred stock has no voting rights, except as required by law. However, so long as any shares of series A preferred stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative approval of the holders of 75% of the shares of the series A preferred stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the series A preferred stock or alter or amend the certificate of designation relating to the series A preferred stock, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the series A preferred stock, or any of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the series A preferred stock, (c) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of these provisions, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

The Purchase Agreement, the note, the certificate of designation for the series A preferred stock and the warrants provide that the notes or series A preferred stock cannot be converted and the warrants cannot be exercised to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in the investor and its or his affiliates owning beneficially more than 4.9% of our common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. These provisions cannot be modified.

The Company agreed to have appointed such number of independent directors that would result in a majority of its directors being independent directors, that the audit committee would be composed solely of independent directors and the compensation committee would have a majority of independent directors. Failure of the Company to meet these requirements for a period of 60 days for an excused reason, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, or 75 days for a reason which is not an excused reason, would results in the imposition of liquidated damages which are payable in cash or additional shares of series A preferred stock.. The liquidated damages are computed in an amount equal to 15% per annum of the principal amount of notes outstanding, up to a maximum of $862,500, which is payable in cash or shares of series A preferred stock, at the election of the investors.

The Company and investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to file, within 60 days after the closing, a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of notes and the series A preferred stock and exercise of the warrants. The failure of the Company to meet this schedule and other timetables provided in the registration rights agreement would result in the imposition of liquidated damages, which are payable through the issuance of additional shares of series A preferred stock at the rate of 2,100 shares of series A preferred stock for each day, based on the proposed registration of all of the underlying shares of common stock, with a maximum of 750,000 shares.

The warrants issued to the investors have a term of five years. The warrants provide for adjustments if the Company does not the meet certain financial targets described above. The warrants also provide that, with certain exceptions, if the Company issues common stock at a price, or warrants or other convertible securities with an exercise or conversion price which is less than the exercise price of the warrants, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to the sales price, exercise price or conversion price, as the case may be, of such other securities.

The note is due on July 21, 2011, and it is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $.30 per share, subject to adjustment as described above. To the extent that the Company pays the note prior to December 2, 2006, the note cannot be converted. From and after December 2, 2006, the Company has no right to prepay the note.

The Company also reimbursed Barron Partners for its due diligence and other expenses in the amount of $50,000. The Purchase Agreement provides that all officers and directors are subject to an 18 month lockup, during which period they may not publicly sell their shares, except that this restriction is for twelve months for Alex Katz as long as he is not an officer or director.

Exchange Agreement

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 21,000,000 shares of common stock (which number does not reflect the reverse split - the number would be 140,000 shares of common stock after giving effect to the reverse split) and 2,611,000 shares of series B preferred stock.


Each share of series B preferred stock automatically converts into two shares of common stock upon the filing of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or restated certificate of incorporation which (i) changes the authorized capital stock to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 90,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) effects a one-for-150 reverse split of the common stock.

The series B preferred stock votes with the common stock, on a share for share basis, with each share of series B preferred stock having one vote, except as otherwise required by law. The vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of series B preferred stock shall be required for any amendment to the certificate of designation relating to the series B preferred stock. Without the approval of holders of a majority of the shares of series B preferred stock, the Company will not merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation or other entity or sell all or a significant portion of its business and assets.

The parties to the Exchange Agreement are subject to an 18 month lockup, during which period they may not publicly sell their shares, except that this restriction is for twelve months for Alex Katz as long as he is not an officer or director of the Company.

The common stock and series B preferred stock were issued to the following stockholders pursuant to the Exchange Agreement:

Stock Redemption Agreement

The Company entered into a stock redemption agreement with its then principal stockholder, Venture Fund I, pursuant to which the Company purchased 29,000,000 shares of commons stock from Venture Fund I for a purchase price of $550,000 and 200,000 shares of series B preferred stock. The Company agreed to include in a registration statement the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series B preferred stock held by Venture Fund I. The stock redemption agreement does not provide for liquidated damages in the event the Company does not register such shares.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On July 20, 2006, Precision Aerospace Components, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Delaware Fastener Acquisition Corporation (“DFAC”) acquired substantially all the assets and assumed accounts payable and certain operating liabilities of Freundlich Supply Co., Inc. (“Seller”), a distributor of aerospace quality lock nuts based in Staten Island, New York. The purchase price for the assets was $5,000,000, $4,250,000 of which was paid in cash at closing. The balance, or $750,000, will be paid pursuant to a secured subordinated promissory note over three years together with interest at the prevailing prime interest rate plus one percent. The asset purchase agreement provided that the purchase price would be adjusted to the extent the Seller’s net working capital, defined as the excess of accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses over accounts payable and accrued expenses, exceeded, or was less than, $2,280,000 at closing. Net working capital totaled $2,543,943 at Closing, and, accordingly, the purchase price was increased by $263,943, which amount was paid in cash at closing.

The sole shareholder and President of Seller executed a consulting agreement with DFAC and will provide services for at least one year. He also executed a covenant not to compete. DFAC entered into a lease for the warehouse in Staten Island, New York for a term of up to 12 years, including all renewal options. After closing, DFAC changed its name to Freundlich Supply Company, Inc.

DESCRIPTION OF FREUNDLICH SUPPLY COMPANY’S BUSINESS

Organizational History

Freundlich Supply Co., Inc. (“Freundlich Supply”) was incorporated in the State of New York in 1980. Freundlich Supply’s corporate headquarters are located at 2200 Arthur Kill Road, Staten Island, NY 10309, and its telephone number is (718) 356-1500.

Overview of Business

Freundlich Supply is a stocking distributor of aerospace quality, internally-threaded fasteners. The Company distributes high-quality, domestically-manufactured nut products that are used primarily for aerospace and military applications and for industrial/commercial applications that require a high level of certified and assured quality. The Company’s products are manufactured to exacting specifications or are made from raw material that provide strength and reliability required for aerospace applications.

Freundlich Supply is a niche player in the North American aerospace fastener industry. The Company currently focuses exclusively on aero-space quality nut products, serving as an authorized stocking distributor for seven of the premier nut manufacturers in the United States.

Freundlich Supply is a one-stop source for standard, self-locking, semi-special and special nuts manufactured to several military, aerospace and equivalent specifications. The Company maintains a large inventory of more than 7,600 SKUs comprised of more than 18 million parts of premium quality, brand name nut products. Management believes that the Company's demonstrated ability to immediately fulfill a high percentage (approximately 80 percent) of customer orders from stock-on-hand gives Freundlich Supply a distinct competitive advantage in the marketplace. The Company sells its products pursuant to written purchase orders it receives from its customers. All products are shipped via common carrier.

Industry Overview

The fastener distribution industry is highly fragmented, with no one company holding a dominant position. This is primarily caused by the varied uses of fasteners and the size of the industry. Freundlich Supply competes with the numerous fastener distributors which serve as authorized stocking distributors for the seven nut manufacturers in the Company's supplier base. The company believes that the depth of its 7,600-SKU inventory represents a competitive advantage. As a stocking distributor, Freundlich Supply has employed a business model of maintaining levels of inventory on hand or on order with its suppliers that can satisfy its customers’ projected needs. This business model has allowed the company to mitigate the supply shortage suffered by the industry. Certain domestic manufacturing capacity was eliminated during a post-9/11 downturn in the aerospace industry. As the industry began a turnaround in 2004 and 2005, driven by increased levels of defense spending and increased commercial demand caused by new orders received by Boeing Company and others, manufacturer delivery on the increased level of demand was delayed because of the decreased capacity extant after 9/11.

Inventory

As a stocking distributor, Freundlich Supply maintains levels of inventory on hand or on to satisfy its customers’ projected needs. The Company has approximately 7,600 different types of nuts in its inventory. Freundlich Supply’s primary suppliers include the following:

 
·
SPS Technologies
 
·
Greer Stop Nut
 
·
Republic Fastener Mfg. Corp.
 
·
MacLean-ESNA
 
·
Alcoa Fastening Systems
 
·
Bristol Industries Inc.
 
·
Abbott-Interfast Corporation

Customers

In 2004 and 2005, Freundlich Supply sold approximately 61% and 56%, respectively, of its products to the United States Department of Defense. All of these products were sold for maintenance, repair and operations functions, were shipped to various government installations across the United States and were sold for many different government programs. Through March 31, 2006, sales to the United States Department of Defense represented 41 percent of total sales.


Freundlich Supply’s commercial customers include original equipment manufacturers and other distributors. Other than the sales to the United States Department of Defense, no one customer represented more than 10 percent of total sales in 2004 or 2005.

Competition

The fastener distribution industry is highly fragmented, with no one company holding a dominant position. This is primarily caused by the varied uses of fasteners and the size of the industry. Freundlich Supply competes with the numerous fastener distributors which serve as authorized stocking distributors for the seven nut manufacturers in the Company's supplier base. The company believes that the depth of its 7,600-SKU inventory represents a competitive advantage.

Few barriers to entry exist for fastener distributors generally. However, the business model employed by Freundlich Supply promotes barriers to entry not generally seen in the industry.

 
·
Freundlich Supply’s quality system is certified to AS9100:2004 and ISO 9001:2000 quality measures. As quality is an important measure of aerospace suppliers, the company strives to maintain its quality system to the highest standards in the industry;
 
·
As an authorized stocking distributor for the premier domestic manufacturers, Freundlich Supply is able to maintain relationships with customers not generally available to the industry. Most manufacturers are not expanding their network of authorized distributors; and
 
·
As a certified government supplier, i.e. because it is listed on the “Qualified Supplier/Manufacturer List,” Freundlich Supply does not compete with companies not so listed.

Government Regulation

Freundlich Supply is approved as a “qualified supplier” by the United States Department of Defense, and as such can provide certain critical parts that other suppliers not so approved cannot supply.

The Fastener Quality Act (“FQA”) and its implementing regulations issued by the United States Department of Commerce require certain distributors of fasteners to, among other things, maintain lot traceability for all of its products sold. This requires that companies like Freundlich Supply keep their books and records such that they can trace the origin of each item sold to the manufacturer from which the item was purchased. The FQA imposes additional requirements on the manufacturers of subject parts and on the users. Because of the demands of the industry, its customers, and its own quality systems, Freundlich Supply maintains strict lot traceability for each item in inventory, and has done so for many years.

Employees

Freundlich Supply has 20 employees, 19 of which are full time employees. We believe our employee relations are very good.

Freundlich Supply Company Results of Operations

Three Months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2005

Overview

Incoming orders in the 3 months ended March 31, 2006 totaled $3,489,230, compared to $1,724,647 in the 3 months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $1,764,583, or 102.3%. The backlog of unshipped orders increased to $3,356,588 at March 31, 2006, compared to $2,009,398 at March 31, 2005, an increase of 67.0%. Customer orders are counted as part of the backlog upon receipt of firm, written purchase orders from customers. Items remain in backlog pending receipt of products from the company’s suppliers or a future delivery date established by the customer at the time the order is placed. Accordingly, management believes that trends in the Company’s backlog can be seen as a predictor of future revenue.

Revenues

Revenue for the 3 months ended March 31, 2006 totaled $2,874,094, compared to $2,426,017 for the 3 months ended March 31, 2005. This increase of $448,077, or 18.5%, was caused by an increase in sales to non-United States Department of Defense (“DOD”) customers to $1,840,730 during the 3 months ended March 31, 2006 from $979,752 during the 3 months ended March 31, 2005. This increase of $860,978, or 87.9%, offset a decrease in sales to the DOD to $1,066,815 during the 3 months ended March 31, 2006 from $1,479,029 during the 3 months ended March 31, 2005. Non-DOD sales typically carry a higher gross profit margin than sales to the DOD, although other factors, including but not limited to market demand, quantity purchased, the nature of the particular part being purchased and the identity of the particular customer, impact pricing levels.

Cost of Goods Sold

Gross profits totaled $1,008,950 in the 3 months ended March 31, 2006, or 35.1% of sales, compared to $828,204, or 34.1% of sales in the 3 months ended March 31, 2005. This increase in the company’s gross profit percentage is the result of inflationary pressures in the industry, the company’s inventory position and its policy of maintaining in inventory sufficient levels of products to meet customers’ anticipated demand.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Sales, general and administrative expenses totaled $433,736 in the 3 months ended March 31, 2006, or 15.1% of sales, compared to $396,468, or 16.3% of sales in the 3 months ended March 31, 2005. This increase of $37,268, or 9.4%, was incurred to support the increased sales during the period.

Income from Operations

Income from operations totaled $574,424 in the 3 months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $430,946 in the 3 months ended March 31, 2005. This increase resulted from increased sales, gross profits and nominal increases in sales, general and administrative expenses.

Significant Balance Sheet Items
 
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable increased to $1,007,458 at March 31, 2006, or 8.8% of annualized sales, compared to $741,508 at March 31, 2005, or 7.6% of annualized sales. The company’s average collection period of its accounts receivable equaled 25.2 days in the 3 months ended March 31, 2006, compared to 27.8 days in the 3 months ended March 31, 2006.

Inventory
Inventory decreased to $2,542,791 at March 31, 2006, compared to $2,634,466 at March 31, 2005. This decrease totaled $91,675, or 3.5%.

Accounts Payable
Accounts Payable decreased to $771,341 at March 31, 2006, compared to $1,204,645 at March 31, 2005. The company generated the cash flow to pay down its accounts payable through its operating activities.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2006, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $60,223, compared to $0 at March 31, 2005. Net working capital totaled $1,900,916 at March 31, 2006, compared to $1,163,730 at March 31, 2005. Current assets totaled $3,600,254 at March 31, 2006, compared to $3,412,495 at March 31, 2005. Current liabilities totaled $1,699,338 at March 31, 2006, compared to $2,248,765 at March 31, 2005. The increase in net working capital was generated from operating activities during the period. The company had stockholder’s equity at March 31, 2006 of $1,681,165, compared to $981,837 at March 31, 2005. This increase resulted from net profits for the period.

The Company plans to grow through a combination of product line expansions, strategic sales and marketing initiatives and through strategic acquisitions. In the next twelve months, the Company may have a need to raise additional funds. The Company is currently not in negotiations with any potential acquisition candidates. There is no assurance that the Company would be successful in raising additional funds necessary to complete an acquisition on terms favorable to the Company.


The Company plans to install a new computer system and packaging equipment within the next six months, which will cost approximately $150,000. There are no other material capital expenditures planned for the next twelve months, other than normal business expenditures and those noted above, for which the Company would need to raise additional funds.

Year ended December 31, 2005 compared to year ended December 31, 2004

Revenues

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $8,816,384, compared to $8,916,132 for the year ended December 31, 2004. This decrease was caused by a decrease in sales to the United States Department of Defense (“DOD”) in 2005. In 2004, sales to the DOD totaled $5,514,165, whereas sales to the DOD in 2005 totaled $5,012,988. This decrease of $501,177, or 9.1%, was partially offset by an increase in sales to non-DOD customers of $401,429, or 11.8%. In 2004, sales to the DOD represented 60.8% of total sales, whereas such sales in 2005 represented 56.0% of total sales.

The company’s backlog of unshipped orders increased to $2,772,455 at December 31, 2005, compared to $2,743,533 at December 31, 2004, an increase of 1.1%. Customer orders are counted as part of the backlog upon receipt of firm, written purchase orders from customers. Items remain in backlog pending receipt of products from the company’s suppliers or a future delivery date established by the customer at the time the order is placed. Incoming orders in 2005 totaled $8,977,157, compared to $10,154,662 in 2004, a decrease of $1,177,505, or 11.6%.

Cost of Goods Sold

Gross profits totaled $2,987,997 in 2005, or 33.9% of sales, compared to $2,946,068, or 33.0% of sales in 2004. This increase in the company’s gross profit percentage is the result of inflationary pressures in the industry, the company’s inventory position and its policy of maintaining in inventory sufficient levels of popular commodities to meet customers’ anticipated demand.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Sales, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,576,517 in 2005, or 17.9% of sales, compared to $1,565,632 in 2004, or $17.6% of sales. The increase totaled $10,885, or 0.7%.

Income from Operations

Income from operations totaled $1,408,322 in 2005, compared to $1,377,278 in 2004. This increase resulted from increased gross profits and nominal increases in sales, general and administrative expenses.

Significant Balance Sheet Items
 
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable decreased to $603,783 at December 31, 2005, or 6.9% of sales, compared to $726,878 at December 31, 2004, or 8.2% of sales. The company’s average collection period of its accounts receivable equaled 27.6 days in 2005, compared to 30.5 days in 2004.

Inventory
Inventory increased to $2,569,602 at December 31, 2005, compared to $2,496,990 at December 31, 2004. This increase of $72,612, or 2.9%, was in connection with anticipated increased sales in the first quarter of 2006.

Accounts Payable
Accounts Payable decreased to $527,136 at December 31, 2005, compared to $1,059,564 at December 31, 2004. The company generated the cash flow to pay down its accounts payable through its operating activities.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2005, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $0, compared to $68,291 at December 31, 2004. Net working capital totaled $1,754,252 at December 31, 2005, compared to $1,234,475 at December 31, 2004. Current assets totaled $3,173,385 at December 31, 2005, compared to $3,302,159 at December 31, 2004. Current liabilities totaled $1,411,657 at December 31, 2005, compared to $2,067,684 at December 31, 2004. This decrease of $656,027 included a repayment of $200,000 to the Company’s line of credit and a reduction in accounts payable of $448,552. The increase in net working capital during 2005 was generated from operating activities during the year. The company had stockholder’s equity at December 31, 2005 of $1,381,500, compared to $906,174 at December 31, 2004. This increase resulted from net profits for the year.

Critical Accounting Policies

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase our securities, you should carefully consider all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus before making a decision to purchase our securities. You should only purchase our securities if you can afford to suffer the loss of your entire investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS:
 
Fluctuations in our operating results and announcements and developments concerning our business affect our stock price.
 
Our quarterly operating results, the number of stockholders desiring to sell their shares, changes in general economic conditions and the financial markets, the execution of new contracts and the completion of existing agreements and other developments affecting us, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.

As a result of the reverse acquisition, our expenses will increase significantly.

As a result of the reverse acquisition, our ongoing expenses are expected to increase significantly, including expenses in compensation to our officers, ongoing public company expenses, including increased legal and accounting expenses as a result of our status as a reporting company and the requirement that we register the shares of common stock issued underlying the convertible note, preferred stock and warrants issued to Barron Partners LP, expenses incurred in complying with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and obligations incurred in connection with the reverse acquisition. Our failure to generate sufficient revenue and gross profit could result in reduced profits of losses as a result of the additional expenses.

Our officers and directors are involved in other businesses which may cause them to devote less time to our business.

Our officers' and directors' involvement with other businesses may cause them to allocate their time and services between us and other entities. Consequently, they may give priority to other matters over our needs which may materially cause us to lose their services temporarily
which could affect our operations and profitability.
 
We may not be able to continue to grow through acquisitions.

In addition to our planned growth through the development of our business, an important part of our growth strategy is to expand our business and to acquire other businesses in related industries. Such acquisitions may be made with cash or our securities or a combination of cash and securities. If our stock price is less than the exercise price of the outstanding warrants, it is not likely that that warrants will be exercised at their present exercise price. To the extent that we require cash, we may have to borrow the funds or sell equity securities. Any issuance of equity as a portion of the purchase price or any sale of equity, to the extent that we are able to sell equity, to raise funds to enable us to pay the purchase price would result in dilution to our stockholders. We have no commitments from any financing source and we may not be able to raise any cash necessary to complete an acquisition. If we fail to make any acquisitions, our future growth may be limited. As of the date of this report, we do not have any agreement as to any acquisition. Further, any acquisition may be subject to government regulations.

If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.

If we make acquisitions, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the affect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

 
the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;
 
the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
 
the difficulty of incorporating acquired rights or products into our existing business;
 
difficulties in disposing of the excess or idle facilities of an acquired company or business and expenses in maintaining such facilities;
 
difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
 
the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
 
the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;
 
the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired;
 
potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether of not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition.


Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with these acquisitions, many of which cannot be presently identified, these risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

We may be required to pay liquidated damages if our board does not consist of a majority of independent directors.

Our Securities Purchase Agreement with Barron Partners LP and Richard Henri Kreger requires us to (i) appoint such number of independent directors that would result in a majority of our directors being independent directors, (ii) have an audit committee that is composed solely of independent directors and (iii) have a compensation committee that is composed of a majority of independent directors. Our failure to maintain these requirements would results in our payment of liquidated damages that are payable in cash or by the issuance of additional shares of series A preferred stock at the election of the investors.

We are dependent on a few large customers.

We are dependent on the aerospace and defense industries for a majority of our revenue and as a result our business will be negatively impacted by any decline in those industries.

We face risks relating to government contracts.

There are inherent risks in contracting with the U.S. government, including risks that are peculiar to the defense industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results, including changes in the department of defense’s procurement policies and requirements.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR CURRENT FINANCING ARRANGEMENT:

There are a large number of shares underlying our convertible note, series A convertible preferred stock and warrants that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.

The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Barron Partners LP and Richard Henri Kreger pursuant to which the investors purchased the Company’s promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000, 5,277,778 shares of its series A convertible preferred stock (the “series A preferred stock”) which are convertible into 15,833,334 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 10,541,000 shares of common stock at $.35 per share and 10,541,000 shares of common stock at $.60 per share.

The Purchase Agreement provides that, within 120 days from the July 20, 2006 closing, the Company will file a restated certificate of incorporation that will (i) change the authorized capital stock to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 90,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) effect a one-for-150 reverse split of the common stock. The number of Total Shares, without giving effect to the reverse split, would be 5,309,760,600 shares for Barron Partners and 524,989,500 shares for Mr. Kreger. The Company has an authorized common stock of 100,000,000 shares. As a result, the investors will not have the ability to convert the note or series A preferred stock or exercise the warrants in full unless the reverse split is effected. If the reverse split is not effective on or prior to the 120 th day after the closing, the Company is required to pay the investors liquidated damages in an amount equal to 5% of the investment made by the investors, which would be $287,500.

The note is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $.30 per share. Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible into common stock at a conversion rate of three shares of common stock for each share of series A preferred stock. The conversion rate is based on a conversion price of $.30 per share of common stock, based on the purchase price of the preferred stock divided by the number of shares of commons stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock. The conversion price of the note and the conversion rate of the series A preferred stock are subject to adjustment in certain instances, including the issuance by the Company of stock at a price which is less than the conversion price.

The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The adjustable conversion price feature of our note, warrants and series A preferred stock could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

The Purchase Agreement as well as the note, the certificate of designation for the series A preferred stock and the warrants provide for an adjustment in the conversion price of the note and series A preferred stock and the exercise price of the warrants if the Company’s consolidated pre-tax income, as defined, for is less than $.034 per share on a fully-diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2006 and less than $.051 per share for the year ended December 31, 2007. The maximum reduction for either year is 35%. Fully-diluted pre-tax income is based on the number of shares of common stock which are outstanding or are otherwise issuable, regardless of whether such shares would be included in determining diluted earnings per share under generally accepted accounting principles.

The following table sets forth the initial conversion price of the notes, the conversion ratio for the series A preferred stock and the exercise price of the $.35 and $.60 warrants and the adjusted numbers if (a) the pre-tax income per share for each of the two years was 20% below the respective targets (a “20% shortfall”) and (b) the pre-tax income per share for each of the two years was 35% or more below the targets (a “35% shortfall”). The number of shares reflects the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the note or the series A preferred stock, and are based on the assumption that no notes or preferred stock are converted into common stock until the adjustment has been made for 2007. There is no adjustment in the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Conversion Price relates to both the note and the series A preferred stock, and the number of shares reflects the number of shares issuable upon full conversion of note and the conversion of all of the shares of series A preferred stock.

As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the conversion of the notes and the series A preferred stock and the warrants, will increase if we do not meet the above-referenced targets and as a result this will cause dilution to our stockholders.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK:

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholder to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Because we may be subject to the “penny stock” rules, you may have difficulty in selling our common stock.

If our stock price is less than $5.00 per share, our stock may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements and restrictions on broker-dealers that sell our stock to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. The application of these rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to sell any common stock you may own.

According to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
 
 
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

 
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

 
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

 
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

 
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

Although the federal securities law provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any based upon an claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed. We may be required in the future to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires increased control over financial reporting requirements, including annual management assessments of the effectiveness of such internal controls and a report by our independent certified public accounting firm addressing these assessments. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, regardless of whether we are required to maintain such controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.


The Chairman of our board of directors will own a controlling interest in our voting stock following the completion of a proposed 1-for-150 reverse split.

The chairman of our board of directors, Alexander Kreger, will own approximately 53% of our outstanding common stock immediately following the completion of our proposed 1-for-150 reverse split. As a result, Mr. Kreger will have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including:

 
·
election of our board of directors;
 
·
removal of any of our directors;
 
·
amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and
 
·
adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.

(1) Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner is c/o Precision Aerospace Components, Inc.

(2) Applicable percentage ownership of common stock pre 1-for-150 reverse split is based on 31,677,900 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 25, 2006, together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of July 25, 2006 for each stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of July 25, 2006 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

(3) The common stock ownership post 1-for-150 reverse split is based on 5,833,186 shares of common stock post reverse split shares of common stock outstanding and reflects (i) the proposed reverse split of the common stock, (ii) the conversion of the Series B preferred stock into shares of common stock, and (iii) the transfer of an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Series B preferred stock by Alexander Kreger, Richard Kreger and Aimee Brooks to Midtown Partners.

(4) The 250,000 shares of common stock are owned by Midtown Partners & Co., LLC, of which Mr. Phillips holds a 50% membership interest. Midtown Partners & Co., LLC is a registered broker-dealer.


(5) BGRS 2005, LLC is managed by Alex Katz, a consultant to the Company. Mr. Katz has sole dispositive and voting control over the shares of common stock of the Company owned by BGRS 2005, LLC.

(6) Bruce Jordan has dispositive and voting control over the shares of common stock of the Company to be owned by Midtown Partners & Co., LLC. Midtown Partners & Co., LLC is a registered broker-dealer.

Barron Partners LP and Richard Henri Kreger each own shares of series A preferred stock and warrants which, if fully converted or exercised, would result in ownership of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. However, the series A preferred stock may not be converted and the warrants may not be exercised if such conversion would result in Barron Partners or Richard Henri Kreger owning more than 4.9% of our outstanding common stock. The applicable instruments provide that this limitation may not be waived. As a result, Barron Partners does not beneficially own 5% or more of our common stock. Because Richard Henri Kreger already owns more than 5% of the Company’s common stock, his series A preferred stock may not be converted and his warrants may not be exercised until his ownership of the Company’s common stock falls below 5%.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of July 25, 2006, there were 31,677,900 shares of voting stock of the Company issued and outstanding.

Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of the Company's common stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company's capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Company's articles of incorporation.

Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company's common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Company's common stock.
 

Preferred Stock
 
Our certificate of incorporation gives our board of directors the power to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Except for the series A preferred stock, we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Series A Preferred Stock

The board of directors has created a series of series A preferred stock consisting of 7,100,000 shares. Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible into three (3) shares of common stock. The Series A preferred stock has no voting rights, except as required by law. However, so long as any shares of series A preferred stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative approval of the holders of 75% of the shares of the series A preferred stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the series A preferred stock or alter or amend the certificate of designation relating to the series A preferred stock, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the series A preferred stock, or any of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the series A preferred stock, (c) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of these provisions, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

Series B Preferred Stock

The board of directors has created a series of series B preferred stock consisting of 2,900,000 shares. Each share of series B preferred stock automatically converts into two (2) shares of common stock upon the filing of a certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation which (i) amends the authorized capital stock to 100,000,000 shares, of which 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, and 90,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and (ii) effects a one-for-150 reverse split of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding common stock. The board of directors has approved such an amendment, subject to stockholder approval.

The holders of the series B preferred stock have no dividend rights, except that, if a dividend is declared with respect to the common stock, the holders of the series B preferred stock shall be entitled to dividends on the preferred stock on an "as if converted" basis.

Except as provided by law and except for the following, the holders of the series B preferred stock vote with the common stock as if the series B preferred stock and the common stock were a single class, with each share of series B preferred stock being entitled to one vote. The vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be required for any amendment to the certificate of designation relating to the series B stock.

Series A Warrants

The Company has 10,541,000 Series A Warrants issued and outstanding. The Series A Warrants are exercisable at $0.35 per share for a term of five years.

Series B Warrants

The Company has 10,541,000  Series B Warrants issued and outstanding. The Series B Warrants are exercisable at $0.60 per share for a term of five years.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Freundlich Supply is not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is its property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of Freundlich’s business.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Precision Aerospace Components (formerly Jordan 1 Holdings Company)

As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Article Eighth of our Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of each of our directors for monetary damages for breach of such director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director shall be limited to the fullest extent allowed by the amendment. However, any repeal or modification of the indemnity provided by the General Corporation Law shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of our directors.


Our Certificate of Incorporation requires us, to the extent and in the manner provided by the General Corporation Law, to indemnify any person against expenses, (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, that are actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which such person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was one of our directors or officers.

Our Bylaws provide that we must, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, indemnify our directors and officers for actions they took in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests. With respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer or director must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. We are required by our Bylaws to advance, prior to the final disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection with such proceeding. If the General Corporation Law is amended to provide narrower rights to indemnification than are available under our Bylaws, such amendment shall not apply to alleged actions or omissions that precede the effective date of such amendment. Our Bylaws permit us to indemnify our employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits indemnification of a corporation's agents (which includes officers and directors) because he is a party (or he is threatened to be made a party) to any action or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of the corporation or because he is a party (or he is threatened to be made a party) to any action or proceeding brought by or on behalf of a corporation. If the agent is successful on the merits in defense of any action or proceeding, the corporation must indemnify the agent against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in such defense. Indemnification must be authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct to require indemnification. This provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is not exclusive of any other rights to which persons seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
Board of Directors
Freundlich Supply Company, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and the related statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts and Disclosures at and for the Three Months
Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 Are Unaudited)
 
                       
 
NOTE 1-
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
                       
   
Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. (“Freundlich Supply” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of New York in 1980. Freundlich Supply is a specialty stocking distributor of a broad range of nut products (standard, self-locking, semi-specials and specials) used primarily for aerospace and military applications. The corporate headquarters is located in Staten Island, New York.
                       
 
NOTE 2-
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                       
   
Basis of Presentation
                       
   
The financial statements reflect the historical results of the Company except that officer’s compensation and related expenses are based upon a compensation structure for a company not solely owned by its sole officer. This resulted in a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses of $187,028 and $389,925 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and $48,332 and $38,608 for three months ending March 31, 2006 and 2005. These expenses were reclassified to dividends paid.
                       
   
Use of Estimates
                       
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions Freundlich Supply may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from the estimates.
                       
   
Revenue Recognition
                       
   
Revenues are recognized when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. A sale occurs at the time of shipment from the Company’s warehouse in Staten Island, New York, as the terms of Freundlich Supply’s sales are FOB shipping point.
                       
   
Gross Profit
                       
   
The Company determines its gross profit by subtracting cost of goods sold from net sales. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of the products sold and excludes costs for selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, which are reported separately in the income statement.

NOTE 2-
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
                   
 
Shipping and Handling Costs and Fees
                   
 
Freundlich Supply records the inbound freight cost on merchandise purchased for resale to cost of goods sold and records the outbound freight cost on merchandise sold as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the income statement.
                   
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
                   
 
The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable. The amount of the allowance is based on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management's review of accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary. The Company determines receivables to be past due based on the payment terms of original invoices. Interest is not typically charged on past due receivables.
                   
 
Inventories
                   
 
Inventories primarily consist of merchandise purchased for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined under the specific identification method. Freundlich Supply makes provisions for obsolete or slow moving inventories as necessary to reflect reduction in inventory value. Inventories are stated at fair value and no reserve for excess and obsolete inventory has been recorded.
                   
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
                   
 
Property, Plant and Equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation expense is determined using the straight-line method for financial reporting and income tax purposes as follows:
                   
   
Warehouse equipment
 
5 years
   
   
Computers
 
5 years
   
   
Furniture and Fixtures

NOTE 2-          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank debt and note due to shareholder. Carrying values are considered to approximate fair value due to their relative short-term maturities.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is recognized on the Freundlich earnings before tax at an effective rate of 45%. Freundlich is currently taxed as an "S" Corporation for federal and New York State purposes. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes was reflected in their historical financial statements.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the combined financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that included the enactment date.

Interim Financial Information

The unaudited balance sheet and the unaudited statements of income and cash flows have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as at March 31, 2006 and 2005, have been included. Readers of these financial statements should note that the interim results for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

Introduction to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income reflects adjustments to the Freundlich Supply historical statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2005, and the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to give effect to:

 
·
The reverse merger which was completed July 20, 2006 and the related purchase of the Freundlich Supply net assets as if both had occurred on January 1, 2005. In a transaction accounted for as a reverse merger, Freundlich Supply is treated as the accounting acquirer.

 
·
Other adjustments required to reflect the combined results of operation of Freundlich Supply as an independent public company; and

 
·
The sale by Precision Aerospace Components, Inc of securities for net proceeds of $5,750,000.00

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of Freundlich Supply and Precision Aerospace Components would have been assuming the transactions had been completed as set forth above, nor do they purport to represent Freundlich Supply results of operations for future periods.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet reflects adjustments to Freundlich Supply’s historical balance sheet at December 31, 2005 to give effect to this reverse merger.
 
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes of Freundlich Supply which are included in this form 8-K and the historical financial statement of Precision Aerospace Components which are included with its filings to the SEC.

The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, the determination or fixing of the following:

(a)    The number of shares constituting the series and the designation of such series.
(b)    The dividend rate on the shares of such series, the conditions and dates upon which such dividends shall be payable, the relation which such dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of the corporation’s capital stock, and whether such dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative.

Upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b), the Company shall promptly send written notice thereof, by hand delivery or by overnight delivery, to the holder of record of all of the Series A Preferred Stock at its address then shown on the records of the Company, which notice shall state that certificates evidencing shares of Series A Preferred Stock must be surrendered at the office of the Company (or of its transfer agent for the Common Stock, if applicable).

For purposes of this Section 6(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. This Section 6(c) may be not be waived or amended.

After the Effective Date, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing Company performing similar functions if the Company’s transfer agent has the ability to deliver shares of Common Stock in such manner. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return the certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock tendered for conversion.

ii.    Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages . The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder of has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason (other than the inability of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock as a result of the limitation set forth in Section 6(c) hereof) unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Series A Preferred Stock shall have been sought and obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the Conversion Value of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) within two Trading Days of the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Conversion Value of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day after three (3) Trading Days and increasing to $200 per Trading Day six (6) Trading Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
 
iii.    Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion . If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) by a Share Delivery Date, and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which the aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation is $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement.
 
v.    Fractional Shares . Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock. All fractional shares shall be carried forward and any fractional shares which remain after a Holder converts all of his or her Series A Preferred Stock shall be dropped and eliminated.
 
vi.    Transfer Taxes . The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 7 .   Certain Adjustments .
 
a)    Stock Dividends and Stock Splits . If the Company, at any time while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Series A Preferred Stock), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Value shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
b)    Price Adjustment . U ntil such time as the Investors hold no Securities, except for (i) Exempt Issuances, (ii) issuances covered by Sections 7(a), 7(c) and 7(d) hereof or (iii) an issuance of Common Stock upon exercise or upon conversion of warrants, options or other convertible securities for which an adjustment has already been made pursuant to this Section 7 , as to all of which this Section 7(b) does not apply, if the Company closes on the sale or issuance of Common Stock at a price, or issues warrants, options, convertible debt or equity securities with a exercise price per share or conversion price which is less than the Conversion Price then in effect (such lower sales price, conversion or exercise price, as the case may be, being referred to as the “Lower Price”), the Conversion Price in effect from and after the date of such transaction shall be reduced to the Lower Price. For purpose of determining the exercise price of warrants issued by the Company, the price, if any, paid per share for the warrants shall be added to the exercise price of the warrants.
 
c)    Conversion Price Adjustment Based on Pre-Tax Income Per Share .
 
i.  
In the event the Company’s consolidated Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2006 is less than $.034 per share on a fully-diluted basis, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced by the percentage shortfall, up to a maximum of 35%. Thus, if Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2006 is $.0289 per share on a fully-diluted basis, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by 15%. Such reduction shall be made at the time the Company files its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, and shall apply to the Note and all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, which are outstanding on the date the Form 10-KSB is filed, or, if not filed on time, on the date that filing was required.
 

 
12

 


 
ii.  
In the event the Company’s consolidated Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2007 is less than $.051 per share on a fully-diluted basis, then the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced by the percentage shortfall, up to a maximum of 35%. Thus, if Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2007 is $.04335 per share on a fully-diluted basis, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by 15%. Such reduction shall be made at the time the Company files its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, and shall apply to the Note and all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, which are outstanding on the date the Form 10-KSB is filed, or, if not filed on time, on the date that filing was required.
 
iii.  
For purpose of determining Pre-Tax Income Per Share on a fully-diluted basis, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of warrants and options shall be deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether (i) such shares are treated as outstanding for determining diluted earnings per share under GAAP, (ii) such securities are “in the money,” or (iii) such shares may be issued as a result of the 4.9% Limitation.
 
d)    Pro Rata Distributions . If the Company, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
e)    Calculations . All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares and shares owned by subsidiaries, if any) actually issued and outstanding.

f)    Notice to Holders .
 
i.    Adjustment to Conversion Price . Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 7, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or the lowest possible adjustment price in the case of an MFN Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
 
ii.    Notices of Other Events . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock or any Fundamental Transaction, (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 30 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification or Fundamental Transaction; provided , that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designations with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holder new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(f)(iv) and insuring that this Series A Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Certificate of Designations, in the event that the agreement relating to a Fundamental Transaction provides for the conversion or exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock into equity or debt securities, cash or other consideration and the agreement is approved by the holders of a majority of the. then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have only the rights set forth in such agreement.

In addition, if the Corporation shall not issue the maximum number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation may, from time to time, by resolution of the Board of Directors, reduce the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock authorized, provided, that no such reduction shall reduce the number of authorized shares to a number which is less than the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then issued or reserved for issuance. The number of shares by which the Series B Preferred Stock is reduced shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series, until such stock is once more designated as part of a particular Series B by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware such certificate as shall be necessary to reflect any reduction in the number of shares constituting the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is junior and subordinated to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of this Corporation as to dividends and upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
 
2.    Dividend Rights .
 
(a)    Except as provided in Section 2(b) of this Statement of Designation, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be not entitled to receive any dividends.
 
(b)    If the Corporation shall pay to the holders of Common Stock any dividends or other distributions, other than distributions payable in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock a dividend per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the dividend which would have been paid if the Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on and as of the record date for such dividend. Such dividend shall be paid on the same dividend payment date that the dividend is paid to the holders of the Common Stock, and the record date shall be the same record date used for determining holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividend. Any dividends shall be paid only out of funds of this Corporation legally available therefor.

(ii)   elect to have Seller retain that Restricted Material Contract and all Liabilities arising therefrom or relating thereto, on a cost neutral basis to Seller.
 
If Buyer elects to have Seller continue its efforts to obtain any Material Consents and the Closing occurs, notwithstanding Sections 2.1 and 2.4, neither this Agreement nor the Assignment and Assumption Agreement nor any other document related to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions shall constitute a sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery or an attempted sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery of the Restricted Material Contracts, and following the Closing, the parties shall use Best Efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain the Material Consent relating to each Restricted Material Contract as quickly as practicable. Pending the obtaining of such Material Consents relating to any Restricted Material Contract, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer the benefits of use of the Restricted Material Contract for its term (or any right or benefit arising thereunder, including the enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereunder). Once a Material Consent for the sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance and delivery of a Restricted Material Contract is obtained, Seller shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Restricted Material Contract to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume the obligations under such Restricted Material Contract assigned to Buyer from and after the date of assignment to Buyer pursuant to a special-purpose assignment and assumption agreement substantially similar in terms to those of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (which special-purpose agreement the parties shall prepare, execute and deliver in good faith at the time of such transfer, all at no additional cost to Buyer).

b.   If there are any Consents not listed on Exhibit 7.3 necessary for the assignment and transfer of any Seller Contracts to Buyer (the “Nonmaterial Consents”) which have not yet been obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) as of the Closing, Buyer shall elect at the Closing, in the case of each of the Seller Contracts as to which such Nonmaterial Consents were not obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) (the “Restricted Nonmaterial Contracts”), whether to:
 
(i)   accept the assignment of such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract, in which case, as between Buyer and Seller, such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract shall, to the maximum extent practicable and notwithstanding the failure to obtain the applicable Nonmaterial Consent, be transferred at the Closing pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement as elsewhere provided under this Agreement; or
(ii)   reject the assignment of such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract, in which case, notwithstanding Sections 2.1 and 2.4, (A) neither this Agreement nor the Assignment and Assumption Agreement nor any other document related to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions shall constitute a sale, assignment, assumption, conveyance or delivery or an attempted sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract, and (B) Seller shall retain such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract and all Liabilities arising therefrom or relating thereto.

2.11  
ASSIGNMENT OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FROM BUYER TO SELLER

In the event that Buyer shall not receive payment of any of the Accounts Receivable within 90 days of Closing, Buyer may assign such uncollected Accounts Receivable to Seller at any time within 180 days after Closing (an “Accounts Receivable Assignment”), provided, however, that if Buyer shall assign any of such Accounts Receivable to Seller after 120 days after Closing but before 180 days after Closing, Buyer shall provide Seller with whatever assistance Seller may reasonably request in the collection of such Accounts Receivable. Upon the occurrence of an Accounts Receivable Assignment, Buyer shall reduce the amount of its next payments due under the Secured Subordinated Promissory Note by the total amount of the Accounts Receivable assigned. This reduction shall not be subject to the escrow provisions of Section 11.8 regarding items proposed to be set off by Buyer against its liability to Seller, but shall be deemed to be agreed to by Seller.

The value of the assets of each Employee Plan exceeds the amount of all benefit liabilities (determined on a plan termination basis using the actuarial assumptions established by the PBGC as of the Closing Date) of such Employee Plan. Seller is not required to provide security to an Employee Plan under Section 401(a)(29) of the Code. The funded status of each Employee Plan that is a Defined Benefit Plan is disclosed on Exhibit 3.14(c) in a manner consistent with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87. Seller has paid in full all required insurance premiums, subject only to normal retrospective adjustments in the ordinary course, with regard to the Employee Plans for all policy years or other applicable policy periods ending on or before the Closing Date.
d.   Except as disclosed in Exhibit 3.14(d), no Employee Plan, if subject to Title IV of ERISA, has been completely or partially terminated, nor has any event occurred nor does any circumstance exist that could result in the partial termination of such Employee Plan. The PBGC has not instituted or threatened a Proceeding to terminate or to appoint a trustee to administer any of the Employee Plans pursuant to Subtitle 1 of Title IV of ERISA, and no condition or set of circumstances exists that presents a material risk of termination or partial termination of any of the Employee Plans by the PBGC. None of the Employee Plans has been the subject of, and no event has occurred or condition exists that could be deemed, a reportable event (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) as to which a notice would be required (without regard to regulatory monetary thresholds) to be filed with the PBGC. Seller has paid in full all insurance premiums due to the PBGC with regard to the Employee Plans for all applicable periods ending on or before the Closing Date.
e.   Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability or has Knowledge of any facts or circumstances that might give rise to any liability, and the Contemplated Transactions will not result in any liability, (i) for the termination of or withdrawal from any Employee Plan under Sections 4062, 4063 or 4064 of ERISA, (ii) for any lien imposed under Section 302(f) of ERISA or Section 412(n) of the Code, (iii) for any interest payments required under Section 302(e) of ERISA or Section 412(m) of the Code, (iv) for any excise tax imposed by Section 4971 of the Code, (v) for any minimum funding contributions under Section 302(c)(11) of ERISA or Section 412(c)(11) of the Code or (vi) for withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan under Section 4201 of ERISA.

- 25 -



f.   Seller has, at all times, complied, and currently complies, in all material respects with the applicable continuation requirements for its welfare benefit plans, including (1) Section 4980B of the Code (as well as its predecessor provision, Section 162(k) of the Code) and Sections 601 through 608, inclusive, of ERISA, which provisions are hereinafter referred to collectively as “COBRA” and (2) any applicable state statutes mandating health insurance continuation coverage for employees.
g.   The form of all Employee Plans is in compliance with the applicable terms of ERISA, the Code, and any other applicable laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and such plans have been operated in compliance with such laws and the written Employee Plan documents. Neither Seller nor any fiduciary of an Employee Plan has violated the requirements of Section 404 of ERISA. All required reports and descriptions of the Employee Plans (including Internal Revenue Service Form 5500 Annual Reports, Summary Annual Reports and Summary Plan Descriptions and Summaries of Material Modifications) have been (when required) timely filed with the IRS, the U.S. Department of Labor or other Governmental Body and distributed as required, and all notices required by ERISA or the Code or any other Legal Requirement with respect to the Employee Plans have been appropriately given.
h.   Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS, and Seller has no Knowledge of any circumstances that will or could result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter. Each trust created under any Employee Plan has been determined to be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, and Seller is not aware of any circumstance that will or could result in a revocation of such exemption. Each Employee Welfare Benefit Plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) that utilizes a funding vehicle described in Section 501(c)(9) of the Code or is subject to the provisions of Section 505 of the Code has been the subject of a notification by the IRS that such funding vehicle qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code or that the plan complies with Section 505 of the Code, unless the IRS does not, as a matter of policy, issue such notification with respect to the particular type of plan. With respect to each Employee Plan, no event has occurred or condition exists that will or could give rise to a loss of any intended tax consequence or to any Tax under Section 511 of the Code.
i.   There is no material pending or threatened Proceeding relating to any Employee Plan, nor is there any basis for any such Proceeding. Neither Seller nor any fiduciary of an Employee Plan has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Employee Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof, could subject Seller or Buyer to a Tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(l) of ERISA or a violation of Section 406 of ERISA. The Contemplated Transactions will not result in the potential assessment of a Tax or penalty under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(l) of ERISA nor result in a violation of Section 406 of ERISA.
j.   Seller has maintained workers’ compensation coverage as required by applicable state law through purchase of insurance and not by self-insurance or otherwise except as disclosed to Buyer on Exhibit 3.14(j).
k.   Except as required by Legal Requirements and as provided in Section 10.1(d), the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will not accelerate the time of vesting or the time of payment, or increase the amount, of compensation due to any director, employee, officer, former employee or former officer of Seller. There are no contracts or arrangements providing for payments that could subject any person to liability for tax under Section 4999 of the Code.

- 26 -



l.   Except for the continuation coverage requirements of COBRA, Seller has no obligations or potential liability for benefits to employees, former employees or their respective dependents following termination of employment or retirement under any of the Employee Plans that are Employee Welfare Benefit Plans.
m.   None of the Contemplated Transactions will result in an amendment, modification or termination of any of the Employee Plans. No written or oral representations have been made to any employee or former employee of Seller promising or guaranteeing any employer payment or funding for the continuation of medical, dental, life or disability coverage for any period of time beyond the end of the current plan year (except to the extent of coverage required under COBRA). No written or oral representations have been made to any employee or former employee of Seller concerning the employee benefits of Buyer.
n.   With respect to any Employee Plan that is a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA (“Multiemployer Plan”), and any other Multiemployer Plan to which Seller has at any time had an obligation to contribute:
 
(i)   all contributions required by the terms of such Multiemployer Plan and any collective bargaining agreement have been made when due; and
(ii)   Seller would not be subject to any withdrawal liability under Part 1 of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA if, as of the date hereof, Seller were to engage in a “complete withdrawal” (as defined in ERISA Section 4203) or a “partial withdrawal” (as defined in ERISA Section 4205) from such Multiemployer Plan.

10.4 REMOVING EXCLUDED ASSETS
 
On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall remove all Excluded Assets from all Facilities and other Real Property to be occupied by Buyer. Such removal shall be done in such manner as to avoid any damage to the Facilities and other properties to be occupied by Buyer and any disruption of the business operations to be conducted by Buyer after the Closing. Any damage to the Assets or to the Facilities resulting from such removal shall be paid by Seller at the Closing. Should Seller fail to remove the Excluded Assets as required by this Section, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, (a) to remove the Excluded Assets at Seller’s sole cost and expense; (b) to store the Excluded Assets and to charge Seller all storage costs associated therewith; (c) to treat the Excluded Assets as unclaimed and to proceed to dispose of the same under the laws governing unclaimed property; or (d) to exercise any other right or remedy conferred by this Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity.

This Section 10.7 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 10.7 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Assets and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on Seller.

- 56 -



(b)   If the Closing occurs, Buyer will have liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Breach of (i) a covenant or obligation to be performed or complied with prior to the Closing Date (other than those in Article 12, as to which a claim may be made at any time) or (ii) a representation or warranty, only if Seller or Shareholder notify Buyer on or before May 31, 2009 of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller or the Shareholder.
 
11.8 RIGHT OF SETOFF
 
Upon notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Buyer may propose to set off any amount to which it may be entitled under this Article 11 against amounts otherwise payable under the Secured Subordinated Promissory. Any amount so proposed shall be deposited by Buyer into an escrow account maintained by its attorney until such claim is agreed to by the parties or otherwise finally determined. The proposal to exercise such right of setoff by Buyer in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default under the Secured Subordinated Promissory Note or any instrument securing the Secured Subordinated Promissory Note. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff or to give a notice of a claim will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.
 
11.9 THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS
 
a.   Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 11.2, 11.3 (to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 11.3) or 11.4 (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.
b.   If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 11.9(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article 11 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s Consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person; (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person; and (C) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims effected without its Consent. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

- 57 -



c.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Related Persons other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its Consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).
d.   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.4, Seller and each Shareholder hereby consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Buyer Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that a Buyer Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agree that process may be served on Seller and Shareholder with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.
e.   With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 11: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.
f.   With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 11, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use its Best Efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

11.10 OTHER CLAIMS

 
A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought and shall be paid promptly after such notice.
 
SECTION 12
CONFIDENTIALITY
 
12.1 DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
 
a.   As used in this Article 12, the term “Confidential Information” includes any and all of the following information of Seller, Buyer or Shareholder that has been or may hereafter be disclosed in any form, whether in writing, orally, electronically or otherwise, or otherwise made available by observation, inspection or otherwise by either party (Buyer on the one hand or Seller and Shareholder, collectively, on the other hand) or its Representatives (collectively, a “Disclosing Party”) to the other party or its Representatives (collectively, a “Receiving Party”):
 
(i)   all information that is a trade secret under applicable trade secret or other law;
(ii)   all information concerning product specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past, current and planned research and development, current and planned manufacturing or distribution methods and processes, customer lists, current and anticipated customer requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, computer hardware, Software and computer software and database technologies, systems, structures and architectures;

b.   Any trade secrets of a Disclosing Party shall also be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under applicable trade secret law and any other applicable law. If any information that a Disclosing Party deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this Article 12, such information shall still be considered Confidential Information of that Disclosing Party for purposes of this Article 12 to the extent included within the definition. In the case of trade secrets, each of Buyer, Seller and Shareholder hereby waives any requirement that the other party submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security.

a.   Each Receiving Party acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and agrees that such Confidential Information (i) shall be kept confidential by the Receiving Party; (ii) shall not be used for any reason or purpose other than to evaluate and consummate the Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) without limiting the foregoing, shall not be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any Person, except in each case as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or with the prior written consent of an authorized representative of Seller with respect to Confidential Information of Seller or Shareholder (each, a “Seller Contact”) or an authorized representative of Buyer with respect to Confidential Information of Buyer (each, a “Buyer Contact”). Each of Buyer and Seller and Shareholder shall disclose the Confidential Information of the other party only to its Representatives who require such material for the purpose of evaluating the Contemplated Transactions and are informed by Buyer, Seller or Shareholder, as the case may be, of the obligations of this Article 12 with respect to such information. Each of Buyer, Seller and Shareholder shall (iv) enforce the terms of this Article 12 as to its respective Representatives; (v) take such action to the extent necessary to cause its Representatives to comply with the terms and conditions of this Article 12; and (vi) be responsible and liable for any breach of the provisions of this Article 12 by it or its Representatives.

12.3 EXCEPTIONS
 
Sections 12.2(a) and (b) do not apply to that part of the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party that a Receiving Party demonstrates (a) was, is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Article 12 or the Confidentiality Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives; (b) was or is developed by the Receiving Party independently of and without reference to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (c) was, is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a nonconfidential basis from a Third Party not bound by a confidentiality agreement or any legal, fiduciary or other obligation restricting disclosure.

If a Receiving Party becomes compelled in any Proceeding or is requested by a Governmental Body having regulatory jurisdiction over the Contemplated Transactions to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Article 12, that Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such compulsion or request so that it may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Article 12. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, the Receiving Party may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that, based upon advice of the Receiving Party’s counsel, the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose or that has been requested by such Governmental Body, provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded by any Person to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed. The provisions of this Section 12.4 do not apply to any Proceedings between the parties to this Agreement.

The Disclosing Party is not waiving, and will not be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Receiving Party, regardless of whether the Disclosing Party has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections. The parties (a) share a common legal and commercial interest in all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is subject to such privileges and protections; (b) are or may become joint defendants in Proceedings to which the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; (c) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should either party become subject to any actual or threatened Proceeding to which the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; and (d) intend that after the Closing the Receiving Party shall have the right to assert such protections and privileges. No Receiving Party shall admit, claim or contend, in Proceedings involving either party or otherwise, that any Disclosing Party waived any of its attorney work-product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges with respect to any information, documents or other material not disclosed to a Receiving Party due to the Disclosing Party disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Receiving Party.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.
 
13.7 ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATION

Such reduction shall be made at the time the Company files its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, and shall apply to the Note and all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, which are outstanding on the date the Form 10-KSB is filed, or, if not filed on time, on the date that filing was required.
 
6.15.3.   In the event the Company’s consolidated Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2007 is less than $.051 per share on a fully-diluted basis, then the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced by the percentage shortfall, up to a maximum of 35%. Thus, if Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2007 is $.04335 per share on a fully-diluted basis, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by 15%. Such reduction shall be made at the time the Company files its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, and shall apply to the Note and all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, which are outstanding on the date the Form 10-KSB is filed, or, if not filed on time, on the date that filing was required.
 
6.15.4.   For purpose of determining Pre-Tax Income Per Share on a fully-diluted basis, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of warrants and options shall be deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether (i) such shares are treated as outstanding for determining diluted earnings per share under GAAP, (ii) such securities are “in the money,” or (iii) such shares may be issued as a result of the 4.9% Limitation.
 
6.16.

Any shares owned by a limited liability company which is wholly-owned or controlled by Alex Katz shall be treated as shares owned by Alex Katz and subject to the same restrictions as Alex Katz. Restricted Stockholders shall include all persons who are officers and directors of the Company and all stockholders who hold shares of Common Stock as a result of the Exchange of Shares. The restriction contained in this Section 6.16 shall apply to any transferee, including any legatee or distribute. Andrew Barron Worden and the Investors shall not be considered Restricted Stockholders; provided, that any Investor who would be considered a Restricted Stockholder but for his being an Investor shall be a Restricted Stockholder only with respect to his shares of Common Stock which were not acquired in his capacity as an Investor pursuant to this Agreement. The restrictions in this Section 6.16 shall not apply to shares issued pursuant to a stock option or long-term incentive plans which may be approved by the Compensation Committee provided that such committee is comprised of a majority of independent directors.

This Section 6.17 does not apply to attorneys, accountants and other persons who provide professional services to the Company.
 
6.18.
Subsequent Equity Sales . From the date hereof until such time as the Investors hold no more than 5% of the Shares (determined as if the Note and the Series A Preferred Stock were fully converted and the Warrants fully exercised), the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Financing involving a “ Variable Rate Transaction ” or an “ MFN Transaction ” (each as defined below). The term “ Variable Rate Transaction ” shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock. The term “ MFN Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells any securities in a capital raising transaction or series of related transactions which grants to an investor the right to receive additional shares based upon future transactions of the Company on terms which are more favorable to the Investors than the terms initially provided to the investor in its initial securities purchase agreement with the Company. The Investors shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.18 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction or MFN Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.
 
6.19.
Approval of Restated Certificate . The Company shall adopt the Restated Certificate and the file the Restated Certificate not later than one hundred twenty (120) days from the Closing Date. As provided in the Restated Certificate, the Restated Certificate will effect a one-for-150 reverse split of the Common Stock. Until the Restated Certificate is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the certificates for the Common Stock issued to the DFAC stockholders shall be held in escrow with Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP along with stock powers endorsed in blank; provided, however, that the stockholders shall have the right to vote such shares. If the Restated Certificate shall not be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware by the close of business on the required filing date, which shall be the one hundred twentieth (120 th ) day after the date of this Agreement, or, if such one hundred twentieth (120 th ) day is not a day on which the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware accepts filings, then on the next day on which such filing are accepted, the Company shall pay to the Investors, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price paid by such Investor. Such payment will become immediately due and payable, without further demand by the Investors, on the close of business on required filing date.

It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard or conduct.

(c)   Non-Exclusivity of Rights . The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article SEVENTH shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

(d)   Insurance . The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

EIGHTH: In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon the Board of Directors by law, the Board of Directors shall have power to make, adopt, alter, amend or repeal from time to time By-laws of the Corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to alter and repeal By-laws made by the Board of Directors and subject to the provisions of any By-law limiting the right of the Board of Directors to make certain modifications to the By-laws.


4.    Upon the filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation:
 
(a)    Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the date this Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State shall automatically become and be converted into one one hundred fiftieth (1/150) of a share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”). The par value of the Common Stock shall not be affected by the Reverse Split. No fractional shares shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Split. The Corporation shall pay, with respect to fractional shares, the value of such fractional shares based on the last reported trading price on the principal stock exchange or market on which the Common Stock is traded on the trading day preceding the effective date of the Reverse Split, or there is no trading of such date, the average of the closing bid prices on such date.
 
(b)    Each of the presently outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), will, in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designation creating the Series B Preferred Stock, automatically, without any action on the part of the holder, become and be converted into two shares of Common Stock (determined after giving effect to the Reverse Split), and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series until such stock is once more designated as part of a particular series by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

6.    This Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

The Company shall notify the Investors promptly when any such registration statement has been declared effective. If more than eighty percent (80%) of the Shares issuable under the Purchase Agreement have been registered or sold, the Company’s obligations under this Article II shall terminate.

An Excused Reason shall include, without limitation, acts of God, closure of the SEC.

However, in no event shall the Company be required to pay any liquidated damages under this Section 2.8 in an amount exceeding 750,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the aggregate (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation).
 
(ii)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(i):
 
(a)    In the event that the Company shall fail to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date but the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Required Effectiveness Date, then no liquidated damages shall be payable with respect to the failure to file by the Filing Date. The Company may defer the issuance of any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock until the first date after the Required Effectiveness Date that the Company is required to pay liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2.8(i).
 
(b)    Any liquidated damages payable as a result of the failure to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date shall be credited against liquidated damages payable as a result of the failure of the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Required Effectiveness Date.

(iii)    In no event shall the Company be required to pay any liquidated damages in the event that the failure of the registration statement to be declared effective on the Required Effective Date results in whole or in part from either (a) the failure of any Investor to provide information satisfactory to the SEC relating to the Investor and its proposed method of sale or any other information concerning the Investor that is required to be included in the registration statement or (b) any delays resulting from questions raised by the SEC or any other regulatory agency, market or exchange concerning the Investors or the affiliates of any of the Investors.
 
(iv)    The parties hereto agree that the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 2.8 constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be incurred by the Investors by reason of the failure of the Registration Statement(s) to be filed or declared effective in accordance with the provisions hereof.
 
(v)    The obligation of the Company terminates when the Investors no longer hold more than ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities, based on the number of Registrable Securities initially issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and any shares issued due to adjustments in these transaction documents and the Warrants.

In the event of any registration of any securities of the Company under the 1933 Act, the Company will, and hereby does agree to indemnify and hold harmless the holder of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, its directors and officers, each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls such holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any such director or officer or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the 1933 Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such holder and each such director, officer, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such holder or underwriter stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof and, provided further that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities or to any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of such Person’s failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as the same may be then supplemented or amended, within the time required by the 1933 Act to the Person asserting the existence of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus or an amendment or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such holder or any such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such holder.
 
6.2.    Indemnification by the Investors . The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, that the Company shall have received an undertaking satisfactory to it from the prospective holder of such Registrable Securities, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6.1) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by such holder of Registrable Securities specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. Any such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Investors. The indemnification by the Investors shall be limited to Fifty Thousand ($50,000) Dollars.

6.3.    Notices Of Claims, Etc . Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Sections 6.1 and Section 6.2, such indemnified party will, if claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Sections 6.1 and Section 6.2, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such reasonable judgment of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict of interest , as hereinafter defined, between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that the indemnifying party may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability, or a covenant not to sue, in respect to such claim or litigation. No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action the defense of which has been assumed by an indemnifying party without the consent of such indemnifying party . If the defendants in any action covered by this Section 6.3 include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party (collectively, a “conflict of interest”), the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party. Such counsel shall be selected by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock having an indemnity claim against the Company, whether pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreements which provide such or similar indemnity.
 
6.4.    Other Indemnification . Indemnification similar to that specified in Sections 6.1 and Section 6.2 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each holder of Registrable Securities (but only if and to the extent required pursuant to the terms herein) with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority, other than the 1933 Act.
 
6.5.    Indemnification Payments . The indemnification required by Sections 6.1 and Section 6.2 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

6.6.    Contribution .
 
(i)    If the indemnification provided for in Sections 6.1 and Section 6.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any expense, loss, claim, damage or liability referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other from the distribution of the Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such expense, loss, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds received by the Company from the initial sale of the Registrable Securities by the Company to the purchasers bear to the gain, if any, realized by all selling holders participating in such offering or the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the underwriter, as the case may be. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, by the holder of Registrable Securities or by the underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information supplied by the Company, by the holder of Registrable Securities or by the underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, provided that the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party if indemnification would be unavailable to such indemnified party by reason of the provisions contained herein, and in no event shall the obligation of any indemnifying party to contribute under this Section 6.6 exceed the amount that such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for hereunder had been available under the circumstances.
 
(ii)    The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders of Registrable Securities and any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth herein, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
 
(iii)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.6, no holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (i) in the case of any such holder, the net proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities in the applicable Registration Statement or (ii) in the case of an underwriter, the total price at which the Registrable Securities purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that such holder or underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
ARTICLE VII
 
RULE 144
 

7.1.    Rule 144 . The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file in a timely manner the reports required to be filed by the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act (including but not limited to the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c) of Rule 144 adopted by the SEC under the 1933 Act) and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, will, upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information) and will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.

Beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. This Section 3(f) may be not be waived or amended.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall deliver to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates which, after the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Company has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). After the Effective Date, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing Company performing similar functions if the Company’s transfer agent has the ability to deliver shares of Common Stock in such manner. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return the this Note to the Holder.
 
(ii)   Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages . The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of this Note, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder of has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason (other than the inability of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock as a result of the 4.9% Limitation) unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the Conversion Value of the principal amount of the Note outstanding ( i.e. , the value of the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such principal amount of this Note) which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 3(g)(i) within two Trading Days of the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Conversion Value of Note being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day after three (3) Trading Days and increasing to $200 per Trading Day six (6) Trading Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
 
-5-

(iii)   Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion . If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) by a Share Delivery Date, and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of a portion of this Note with respect to which the aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation is $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
(iv)   Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 3(h)) upon the conversion of this Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement.
 
(v)   Fractional Shares . Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock. All fractional shares shall be carried forward and any fractional shares which remain after the Holder converts the full principal amount of this Note shall be dropped and eliminated.
 
(vi)   Transfer Taxes . The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
 
-6-

(vii)   Absolute Obligation . Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the liquidated damages (if any) on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
(h)   Certain Adjustments .
 
(i)   Stock Dividends and Stock Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Note), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(h)(i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
(ii)   Price Adjustment . Until such time as the Investors hold no Securities, except for (i) Exempt Issuances, (ii) issuances covered by Sections 3(h)(i), 3(h)(iii) and 3(i) of this Note, or (iii) an issuance of Common Stock upon exercise or upon conversion of warrants, options or other convertible securities for which an adjustment has already been made pursuant to this Section 3(h), as to all of which this Section 3(h)(ii) does not apply, if the Company sells or issues Common Stock at a price, or issues warrants, options, convertible debt or equity securities with a exercise price per share or conversion price which is less than the Conversion Price then in effect (such lower sales price, conversion or exercise price, as the case may be, being referred to as the “Lower Price”), the Conversion Price in effect from and after the date of such transaction shall be reduced to the Lower Price. For purpose of determining the exercise price of warrants issued by the Company, the price, if any, paid per share for the warrants shall be added to the exercise price of the warrants.
 
(iii)   Conversion Price Adjustment Based on Pre-Tax Income Per Share .
 
(A)   In the event the Company’s consolidated Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2006 is less than $.034 per share on a fully-diluted basis, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced by the percentage shortfall, up to a maximum of 35%. Thus, if Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2006 is $.0289 per share on a fully-diluted basis, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by 15%. Such reduction shall be made at the time the Company files its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, and shall apply to the Note and all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, which are outstanding on the date the Form 10-KSB is filed, or, if not filed on time, on the date that filing was required.
 
(B)   In the event the Company’s consolidated Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2007 is less than $.051 per share on a fully-diluted basis, then the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced by the percentage shortfall, up to a maximum of 35%. Thus, if Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2007 is $.04335 per share on a fully-diluted basis, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by 15%. Such reduction shall be made at the time the Company files its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, and shall apply to the Note and all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, which are outstanding on the date the Form 10-KSB is filed, or, if not filed on time, on the date that filing was required.
 
-7-

(C)   For purpose of determining Pre-Tax Income Per Share on a fully-diluted basis, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of warrants and options shall be deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether (i) such shares are treated as outstanding for determining diluted earnings per share under GAAP, (ii) such securities are “in the money,” or (iii) such shares may be issued as a result of the 4.9% Limitation.
 
(i)   Pro Rata Distributions . If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
(j)   Calculations . All calculations under Section 3(h) of this Note shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 3(h), the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares and shares owned by subsidiaries, if any) actually issued and outstanding.
 
(k)   Notice to Holders .
 
(i)   Adjustment to Conversion Price . Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or the lowest possible adjustment price in the case of an MFN Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
 
(ii)   Notices of Other Events . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock or any Fundamental Transaction, (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 30 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification or Fundamental Transaction; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
 
-8-

(l)   Exempt Issuance . Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the Conversion Price will be made in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
 
(m)   Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall assume this Note.
 
Article 4.
Miscellaneous

(a)   Transferability . This Note shall not be transferred except in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act and applicable state securities law. The Company shall treat as the owner of this Note the person shown as the owner on its books and records.

(e)   Usury Saving Provision .

The Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this   Warrant on a Date of Exercise in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder and its affiliates on the Date of Exercise , and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this limitation is being made on an Date of Exercise , which would result in beneficial ownership by the Warrant Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date.

Thus, if Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2007 is $.04335 per share on a fully-diluted basis, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by 15%. Such reduction shall be made at the time the Company files its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, and shall apply to the Note and all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, which are outstanding on the date the Form 10-KSB is filed, or, if not filed on time, on the date that filing was required.
 
 
iii.
For purpose of determining Pre-Tax Income Per Share on a fully-diluted basis, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of warrants and options shall be deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether (i) such shares are treated as outstanding for determining diluted earnings per share under GAAP, (ii) such securities are “in the money,” or (iii) such shares may be issued as a result of the 4.9% Limitation.
 
 
iv.
An adjustment pursuant to Sections 7(d) or 7(e) of this Warrant shall not affect the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
 
8.   Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 8, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the next whole number.
 
9.   Sale or Merger of the Company . Upon a Merger Transaction , the restriction contained in Section 6 shall immediately be released and the Warrant Holder will have the right to exercise this Warrant concurrently with such Merger Transaction . For purposes of this Warrant, the term “ Merger Transaction ” shall mean a consolidation or merger of the Company into another company or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another company or entity not controlled by the then existing stockholders of the Company .

However, in the event that the Company does not issue a substitute warrant, the number and class of Warrant Shares or other securities and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Warrant, and this Warrant shall relate the adjusted number of Warrant Shares and Exercise Price.

(b)   A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Warrant Holder to be purchased.
 
(c)   This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period for such number of Warrant Shares as is indicated in the attached Form of Election To Purchase.

6.   Maximum Exercise . The Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this   Warrant on a Date of Exercise in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder and its affiliates on the Date of Exercise , and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this limitation is being made on an Date of Exercise , which would result in beneficial ownership by the Warrant Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date. This Section 6 may be not be waived or amended. As used in this Warrant, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.
 
7.   Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares . The character of the shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefore, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events, and all such adjustments shall be cumulative:
 
(a)   Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, Etc. The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, stock distribution, combination of shares , reverse split , reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of stock or securities.
 
(b)   Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or reorganization (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a Reorganization ), then, in each case, the holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation or effective date of such Reorganization (the Effective Date ), shall receive, in lieu of the shares of stock or other securities at any time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant issuable on such exercise prior to the Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).
 
(c)   Certificate as to Adjustments. In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
 
(d)   Sales of Common Stock at less than the Exercise Price.   From the date hereof until such time as the holder of this Warrant holds no Securities, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, except for (i) Exempt Issuances, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, (ii) issuances covered by Sections 7(a), 7(b) and 7(e) hereof or (iii) an issuance of Common Stock upon exercise or upon conversion of warrants, options or other convertible securities for which an adjustment has already been made pursuant to this Section 7, as to all of which this Section 7(d) does not apply, if the Company closes on the sale or issuance of Common Stock at a price, or warrants, options, convertible debt or equity securities with a exercise price per share or exercise price per share which is less than the Exercise Price then in effect the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares and the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or receivable for the issuance of such additional shares would purchase at the Exercise Price then in effect, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares (including the exercise or conversion of all options, warrants and other convertible securities). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. An adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall not result in any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

Thus, if Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2006 is $.0289 per share on a fully-diluted basis, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by 15%.

ii.
In the event the Company’s consolidated Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2007 is less than $.051 per share on a fully-diluted basis, then the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced by the percentage shortfall, up to a maximum of 35%. Thus, if Pre-Tax Income for the year ended December 31, 2007 is $.04335 per share on a fully-diluted basis, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by 15%. Such reduction shall be made at the time the Company files its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, and shall apply to the Note and all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, which are outstanding on the date the Form 10-KSB is filed, or, if not filed on time, on the date that filing was required.
 
 
iii.
For purpose of determining Pre-Tax Income Per Share on a fully-diluted basis, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of warrants and options shall be deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether (i) such shares are treated as outstanding for determining diluted earnings per share under GAAP, (ii) such securities are “in the money,” or (iii) such shares may be issued as a result of the 4.9% Limitation.
 
 
iv.
An adjustment pursuant to Sections 7(d) or 7(e) of this Warrant shall not affect the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
 
8.   Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 8, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the next whole number.

11.   Issuance of Substitute Warrant . In the event of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company or a reclassification of Company shares of stock, which results in an adjustment to the number of shares subject to this Warrant and/or the Exercise Price hereunder, the Company agrees to issue to the Warrant Holder a substitute Warrant reflecting the adjusted number of shares and/or Exercise Price upon the surrender of this Warrant to the Company. However, in the event that the Company does not issue a substitute warrant, the number and class of Warrant Shares or other securities and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Warrant, and this Warrant shall relate the adjusted number of Warrant Shares and Exercise Price.
 
12.   Notice . All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the date they are delivered if delivered in person; (ii) on the date initially received if delivered by facsimile transmission followed by registered or certified mail confirmation; (iii) on the date delivered by an overnight courier service; or (iv) on the date of delivery after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested with postage and other fees prepaid as follows:

5.    Stock Options.
 
(a)    Administration . Stock Options may be granted alone, in addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan.

(i)    Option Price . The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant.
 
(ii)    Option Term . The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date the Option is granted.
 
(iii)    Exercisability . Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at or after grant.

(iv)    Method of Exercise .
 
(A)    Subject to whatever installment exercise provisions apply under Section 5(b)(iii) of the Plan, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option period, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, either by check, note or such other instrument, securities or property as the Committee may accept. As and to the extent determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or after grant, payments in full or in part may also be made in the form of Stock already owned by the optionee or, in the case of the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock subject to an award hereunder (based, in each case, on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the option is exercised, as determined by the Committee).
 
(B)    If payment of the option exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option is made in whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock, the Stock issuable upon such exercise (and any replacement shares relating thereto) shall remain (or be) restricted or deferred, as the case may be, in accordance with the original terms of the Restricted Stock award or Deferred Stock award in question, and any additional Stock received upon the exercise shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions or deferral limitations, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or after grant.
 
(C)    No shares of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor has been received by the Company. In the event of any exercise by note or other instrument, the shares of Stock shall not be issued until such note or other instrument shall have been paid in full, and the exercising optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder until such payment is made.
 
(D)    Subject to Section 5(b)(iv)(C) of the Plan, an optionee shall generally have the rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to shares subject to the Option when the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares, and, if requested, has given the representation described in Section 14(a) of the Plan.
 
(v)    Non-Transferability of Options . No Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee.
 
(vi)    Termination by Death . Subject to Section 5(b)(ix) of the Plan with respect to Incentive Stock Options, if an optionee’s employment by the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent such option was exercisable at the time of death or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant (or as may be determined in accordance with procedures established by the Committee), by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the optionee under the will of the optionee, for a period of one year (or such other period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter.
 
(vii)    Termination by Reason of Disability or Retirement . Subject to Section 5(b)(ix) of the Plan with respect to Incentive Stock Options, if an optionee’s employment by the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates by reason of a Disability or Normal or Early Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant (or as may be determined in accordance with procedures established by the Committee), for a period of one year (or such other period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that, if the optionee dies within such one-year period (or such other period as the Committee shall specify at grant), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of termination of employment by reason of Disability or Normal or Early Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

(viii)    Other Termination . Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (or pursuant to procedures established by the Committee) at or after grant, if an optionee’s employment by the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Normal or Early Retirement, the Stock Option shall thereupon terminate; provided, however, that if the optionee is involuntarily terminated by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate without Cause, including a termination resulting from the Subsidiary, Affiliate or division in which the optionee is employed or engaged, ceasing, for any reason, to be a Subsidiary, Affiliate or division of the Company, such Stock Option may be exercised, to the extent otherwise exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of three months (or seven months in the case of a person subject to the reporting and short-swing profit provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever is shorter.
 
(ix)    Incentive Stock Options.
 
(A)    Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of the optionee(s) affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422.
 
(B)    To the extent required for “incentive stock option” status under Section 422(d) of the Code (taking into account applicable Treasury regulations and pronouncements), the Plan shall be deemed to provide that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the optionee during any calendar year under the Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 425 of the Code) shall not exceed $100,000. If Section 422 is hereafter amended to delete the requirement now in Section 422(d) that the plan text expressly provide for the $100,000 limitation set forth in Section 422(d), then this Section 5(b)(ix)(B) shall no longer be operative and the Committee may accelerate the dates on which the incentive stock option may be exercised.
 
(C)    To the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code or the applicable regulations thereunder or any applicable Internal Revenue Service pronouncement:
 
(I)    If (x) a participant’s employment is terminated by reason of death, Disability or Retirement and (y) the portion of any Incentive Stock Option that is otherwise exercisable during the post-termination period specified under Sections 5(b)(vi) and (vii) of the Plan, applied without regard to the $100,000 limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, is greater than the portion of such option that is immediately exercisable as an “incentive stock option” during such post-termination period under Section 422, such excess shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option; and
 
(II)    if the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option is accelerated by reason of a Change in Control, any portion of such option that is not exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option by reason of the $100,000 limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
 
(x)    Buyout Provisions . The Committee may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash, Stock, Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock an option previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the optionee at the time that such offer is made.
 
(xi)    Settlement Provisions . If the option agreement so provides at grant or is amended after grant and prior to exercise to so provide (with the optionee’s consent), the Committee may require that all or part of the shares to be issued with respect to the spread value of an exercised Option take the form of Deferred or Restricted Stock which shall be valued on the date of exercise on the basis of the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Committee) of such Deferred or Restricted Stock determined without regard to the deferral limitations and/or forfeiture restrictions involved.

- 7 -

 


 
(i)    Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option granted under the Plan. In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Stock Option.
 
(ii)    A Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted with respect to a given Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option, subject to such provisions as the Committee may specify at grant where a Stock Appreciation Right is granted with respect to less than the full number of shares covered by a related Stock Option.
 
(iii)    A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by an optionee, subject to Section 6(b) of the Plan, in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee for such purpose. Upon such exercise, the optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in said Section 6(b). Stock Options relating to exercised Stock Appreciation Rights shall no longer be exercisable to the extent that the related Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised.
 
(b)    Terms and Conditions . Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee, including the following:
 
(i)    Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Stock Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 and Section 5 of the Plan; provided, however, that any Stock Appreciation Right granted to an optionee subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the grant of the related Stock Option shall not be exercisable during the first six months of its term, except that this special limitation shall not apply in the event of death or Disability of the optionee prior to the expiration of the six-month period. The exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights held by optionees who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall comply with Rule 16b-3 thereunder to the extent applicable.
 
(ii)    Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, an optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash and/or shares of Stock equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock over the option price per share specified in the related Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment. When payment is to be made in shares of Stock, the number of shares to be paid shall be calculated on the basis of the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of exercise. When payment is to be made in cash, such amount shall be based upon the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of exercise, determined in a manner not inconsistent with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules of the Commission thereunder.
 
(iii)    Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only when and to the extent that the underlying Stock Option would be transferable under Section 5(b)(v) of the Plan.
 
(iv)    Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Option or part thereof to which such Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be deemed to have been exercised only to the extent of the number of shares issued under the Stock Appreciation Right at the time of exercise based on the value of the Stock Appreciation Right at such time.
 
(v)    In its sole discretion, the Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights that become exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control and/or a Potential Change in Control, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify at grant; provided that any such Stock Appreciation Rights shall be settled solely in cash.
 
(vi)    The Committee, in its sole discretion, may also provide that, in the event of a Change in Control and/or a Potential Change in Control, the amount to be paid upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be based on the Change in Control Price, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify at grant.

(v)    The Committee shall require that (A) the stock certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock be held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and (B) as a condition of any Restricted Stock award, the participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock covered by such award.

(ii)    Except as provided in this Section 7(c)(ii) and Section 7(c)(i) of the Plan, the participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any regular cash dividends paid out of current earnings. The Committee, in its sole discretion, as determined at the time of award, may permit or require the payment of cash dividends to be deferred and, if the Committee so determines, reinvested, subject to Section 14(e) of the Plan, in additional Restricted Stock to the extent shares are available under Section 3 of the Plan, or otherwise reinvested. Stock dividends, splits and distributions issued with respect to Restricted Stock shall be treated as additional shares of Restricted Stock that are subject to the same restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to the shares with respect to which such dividends are issued, and the Committee may require the participant to deliver an additional stock power covering the shares issuable pursuant to such stock dividend, split or distribution. Any other dividends or property distributed with regard to Restricted Stock, other than regular dividends payable and paid out of current earnings, shall be held by the Company subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock.

In order to better ensure that award payments actually reflect the performance of the Company and service of the participant, the Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, for a tandem Stock Option or performance-based or other award designed to guarantee a minimum value, payable in cash or Stock to the recipient of a Restricted Stock award, subject to such performance, future service, deferral and other terms and conditions as may be specified by the Committee.
 
8.    Deferred Stock.
 
(a)    Administration . Deferred Stock may be awarded either alone, in addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan.

(ii)    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, amounts equal to any dividends declared during the Deferral Period with respect to the number of shares covered by a Deferred Stock award will be paid to the participant currently, or deferred and deemed to be reinvested in additional Deferred Stock, or otherwise reinvested, all as determined at or after the time of the award by the Committee, in its sole discretion.
 
(iii)    Subject to the provisions of the award agreement and this Section 8, upon termination of a participant’s employment with the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for any reason during the Deferral Period for a given award, the Deferred Stock in question will vest, or be forfeited, in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at or after grant.

(a)    The Committee may require each person purchasing shares pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the optionee or participant is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. All certificates or shares of Stock or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
 
(b)    Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
 
(c)    Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of any award pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate any right to continued employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any of its employees at any time.
 
(d)    No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the participant for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any award under the Plan, the participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding obligations may be settled with Stock, including Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements and the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the participant.
 
(e)    The actual or deemed reinvestment of dividends or dividend equivalents in additional Restricted Stock (or in Deferred Stock or other types of Plan awards) at the time of any dividend payment shall only be permissible if sufficient shares of Stock are available under Section 3 of the Plan for such reinvestment (taking into account then outstanding Stock Options, Stock Purchase Rights and other Plan awards).
