ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

 

This Acquisition Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of this 30th day of September 2008 by and between THE FLOORING ZONE, INC., a Nevada corporation (“FZON”), and PROFIRE COMBUSTION, INC., an Alberta, Canada corporation (“PROFIRE”), and those shareholders executing Investment Letters attached hereto as Exhibit A.1 or Exhibit A.2 and listed in Exhibit B hereto, being all of the shareholders of PROFIRE as of the date this Agreement is executed (the “PROFIRE Shareholders”).

 

PLAN OF EXCHANGE

 

The transaction contemplated by this Agreement is intended to be an acquisition whereby FZON will acquire 100% of PROFIRE’s issued and outstanding common stock, ($.001 par value) in exchange for 35,000,000 shares of FZON’s common stock, $.001 par value (the “Exchange Stock”). Upon the consummation of the exchange transaction and the issuance and transfer of the Exchange Stock as set forth in Section 2 hereinbelow, PROFIRE Shareholders would hold approximately seventy-eight percent (78%) of the then-outstanding common stock of FZON representing a controlling interest in FZON. The Exchange Transaction will result in PROFIRE becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of FZON.

 

AGREEMENT

 

Section 1

Transfer of Shares

 

1.1

All shareholders of PROFIRE (the “Shareholders” or the “PROFIRE Shareholders”), as of the date of Closing as such term is defined in Section 3 herein (the “Closing” or the “Closing Date”), shall transfer, assign, convey and deliver to FZON on the Closing Date, certificates, or written equivalent documentation if certificates are non-existent, representing one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding PROFIRE capital stock (the “PROFIRE Stock”). The transfer of the PROFIRE Stock shall be made free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, encumbrances or charges, whether disclosed or undisclosed, except as the PROFIRE Shareholders and FZON shall have otherwise agreed in writing.

 

Section 2

Issuance of Exchange Stock to PROFIRE Shareholders

 

2.1

As consideration for the transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the PROFIRE Stock hereunder, FZON shall, at the Closing issue to the PROFIRE Shareholders listed in Exhibit B, being all of the shareholders of PROFIRE, pro rata in accordance with each Shareholder’s percentage ownership of PROFIRE immediately prior to the Closing, certificates representing 35,000,000 shares of FZON Common Stock. The parties intend

 


that the Exchange Stock being issued will be used to acquire all outstanding PROFIRE Stock. To the extent that less than 100% of the PROFIRE Stock is acquired, the number of shares issuable to those PROFIRE Shareholders who have elected to participate in the exchange described in this Agreement (the “Exchange”) shall decrease proportionately.

 

2.2

The issuance of the Exchange Stock shall be made free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, encumbrances or charges, whether disclosed or undisclosed, except as the PROFIRE Shareholders and FZON shall have otherwise agreed in writing. As provided herein, and immediately prior to the Closing, FZON shall have issued and outstanding: (i) not more than 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock; and (ii) shall have no preferred stock or other securities issued and outstanding.

 

2.3

None of the Exchange Stock issued to the PROFIRE Shareholders, nor any of the PROFIRE Stock transferred to FZON hereunder shall, at the time of Closing, be registered under United States and state securities laws but, rather, shall be issued pursuant to an exemption therefrom and be considered “restricted stock” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). All of such shares shall bear a legend worded substantially as follows:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or any state act or law and are ‘restricted securities’ as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The shares, or any interest therein, may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the Company.”

 

The respective transfer agents of FZON and PROFIRE shall annotate their records to reflect the restrictions on transfer embodied in the legend set forth above. There shall be no requirement that FZON register the Exchange Stock under the Act, nor shall PROFIRE or the PROFIRE Shareholders be required to register any PROFIRE Shares under the Act.
