NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007
(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. and it's newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary Advanced Plasma Products, Inc.

On August 7, 2008, the Company executed a letter of intent with the University of Tennessee Research Foundation (UTRF) for the licensing of patent rights related to atmospheric glow plasma technology. The agreement provides for exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize the technology in all but a few fields of use. The letter of intent provides for an initial license fee of $150,000 payable in shares of common stock of the Company and minimum annual royalty payments starting in year two. Additionally, in a related transaction, on August 28, 2008, Advanced Plasma Products, Inc. purchased the assets of Atmospheric Glow Technologies, Inc., the previous licensee of this technology and a company in bankruptcy. These assets included essential instrument prototypes, engineering drawings, test equipment and a variety of facility related assets. We paid $125,000 in cash and issued 289,436 shares of our common stock valued at $200,000. On September 10, 2008, we concluded our agreement w ith UTRF and subsequently issued 260,417 shares of our common stock as payment for the license fee.

These interim financial statements for the three and six-months ended November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2007, included herein, have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of operating results for the interim periods have been made. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related footnotes for the years ended May 31, 2008 and 2007 which are included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed on August 29, 2008.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior interim period balances in order to conform to the current year's presentation.

Note 2. Going Concern and Liquidity

The report of our independent registered public accountant issued in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year-ended May 31, 2008 indicated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007
(Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Company has had recurring losses from operations that have diminished its financial resources. Our liquidity to date has primarily been provided by revenue from government contracts and proceeds from the sale of our equity securities. We have not been successful in securing any additional government funding and we will have to rely on the sale of our equity securities to generate sufficient working capital in order to successfully commercialize our newly acquired technology and to pay for our ongoing operations. As a result of the lack of government funding for our aviation security technologies, we have suspended all related research and develop work. As of November 30, 2008, we had cash on hand of $67,000 which would be insufficient to fund our operations through the current year. On January 14, 2009, we completed a series of transactions in order to generate additional cash resources. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of the transact ions. As a result of these transactions, the Company anticipates it will have sufficient cash resources into its fiscal 4th quarter, at which time it will need to seek additional working capital. We anticipate the amount of such additional working capital could be in the range of approximately $350,000 to $500,000 but cannot predict or estimate such amount with certainty as the ultimate amount will depend on many variables, such as potential third party development or licensing fees, the pace and success of our product development and sales, and cash generated the by the transactions described in Note 9. In the event we are unable to secure additional working capital we will have to curtail our operations accordingly, thus slowing down our product development and marketing efforts. Any curtailment of our operations could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial position.

On September 29, 2008, we were delisted from the American Stock Exchange for failure to maintain the required listing standards. We are currently trading on the Over-the-counter market under the symbol "FLTS".

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the carrying values of investments, inventory, intangible assets, other receivables and the calculation of share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007
(Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Share-Based Compensation: Effective June 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Share-Based Payments (revised 2004)," (SFAS No. 123R) which requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company provides an estimate of forfeitures at initial grant date. The Company elected the modified prospective transition method under SFAS 123R and accordingly has not restated periods prior to adoption. The Company recognized $11,648, $8,325, $23,298 and $16,650, as compensation expense related to employee stock options in each of the three and six-month periods ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, res pectively.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no options granted in each of the six-months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Loss Per Share: Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the interim periods presented the effect of stock options and warrants was anti-dilutive; therefore, they were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share. The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants that were excluded from the computation as their effect would be anti-dilutive, were 2,925,737, 3,840,716, 2,963,930, and 3,953,215 for the three and six-month periods ended November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2007, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows the Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.

Revenue and Cost Recognition: Our prior contracts with the United States government and our maritime industry customers are cost-reimbursable contracts that provide for a fixed profit percentage (base fee) applied to our actual costs to complete the work. These contracts are subject to audit and adjustment by our customer, and are subject to cost limitations as provided by the contract and the Federal Acquisition Regulations. The government has audited and accepted our rates through our fiscal year ended May 31, 2006.

For these contracts, revenue is recorded at the time services are performed based upon actual project costs incurred including a reimbursement for general, administrative, and overhead costs and the base fee. The general, administrative, and overhead costs are estimated periodically in accordance with government contract accounting regulations and may change based on actual costs incurred subject to approval. Revenue may be adjusted for our estimate of costs that may be categorized as disputed or unallowable as a result of cost overruns or the audit process.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007
(Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Project costs include all direct material, labor and subcontracting costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to chargeable costs and revenue recorded and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Revenue related to additional claims under the contract is recorded at the lesser of actual costs incurred or the amount expected to be realized.

Machinery and Equipment: Machinery and equipment are stated at original cost or fair value at date acquisition in the case of the bulk purchase of machinery and equipment purchased by Advanced Plasma Products, Inc. ("APP") less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or disposed of are removed from the accounts. Gains and losses are recognized upon disposal of assets. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred, whereas significant repairs are capitalized.

Estimated useful lives by asset class are as follows:

Machinery & equipment          7 years
Furniture & fixtures                 10 years
Automobiles                             5 years
Software                                   3 years

Intangible Assets: At November 30, 2008, intangible assets consist of patent costs associated with, AWSM, TIICM™ and atmospheric glow technologies. Acquisition costs related to obtaining new patents are capitalized. Patent costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of seventeen years from the date incurred or the remaining life of the underlying patent.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 144) the Company assesses its patents for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. Such circumstances may include a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate that could affect the value of the patents. The Company also considers the likelihood of obtaining required research and development funding. In determining recoverability, the Company must determine the asset's fair value, which may require Management to make significant assumptions about the future cash generating ability of the asset. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the difference between the asset's fair value and book value is charged to expense in the period the impairment is identified. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible asset becomes its new basis. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited under SFAS 144.

Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company had amounts in excess of $100,000 in a single bank during the year. Amounts over $100,000 are not covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Concentration of credit risk also exists with respect to investment securities and contract receivables. The concentrated risk associated with contract receivables is mitigated by the fact that these receivables are due primarily from the United States Government. The risk for investment securities is mitigated by an Investment Policy which, approved by the Board of Directors, restricts investing in fixed income securities below an "A" rating at the time of purchase and investments in asset backed securities, mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations below a "AAA" rating at the time of purchase.

Research and Development: Company sponsored research and development costs, including proposal costs and un-reimbursed expenditures for developmental activities, are charged to operations as incurred.

Income Taxes: The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion of the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income 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 in the period of enactment.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments: The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined based on the available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including other receivables), other current assets, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value at November 30, 2008 and May 31, 2008, because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

Retirement Savings Plan: Effective July 1, 2004, the Company established a Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees, as defined in the plan, are eligible to participate on their first day of employment. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company can match up to the employee's contribution of 5% of gross pay. The Company matching funds immediately vest 100%. The Company match for each of the three and six-months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0, $7,780, $7,456 and $23,431 respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 ("SFAS 157"), Fair Value Measurements, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. This Statement became effective for the Company on June 1, 2008 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company also adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company did not elect fair value treatment for any financial assets or liabilities upon adoption. SFAS 159 also became effective for the Company on June 1, 2008 and did not have a mate rial impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with SFAS 157, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. For example, Level 2 assets and liabilities may include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments or mortgage loans held for sale, for which the fair value is based on what the securitization market is currently offering for mortgage loans with similar characteristics.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Also, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The Company had no such assets as of November 30, 2008.

Note 9: Subsequent Events

We have filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designations of the Powers, Preferences and Relative, Participating, Optional and Other Special Rights of Preferred Stock and Qualifications, Limitations and Restrictions Thereof of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. (the "Certificate") designating a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"), par value $0.01 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock has a liquidating value of $100 per share, is convertible into 1,429 shares of Common Stock of the Company (subject to adjustment) and pays a cash dividend of 8% or a dividend in kind of 10%. The dividends are paid quarterly and are based on the original purchase price of the Preferred Stock. No dividends will accrue or be paid for any fiscal quarter where shares of our common stock, on a volume weighted average price, trade in excess of $0.14. Initially, each share of Preferred Stock will have the equivalent voting rights of 1,429 shares of common stock and will vote with our existing common shareholders as a group on all matters subject to shareholder vote. However, the Preferred Stock shareholders will not be able to vote on issues involving redemption or a liquidation event until there has been an affirmative vote on such issues by our common stock shareholders. In that event,

they will be allowed to vote as a group with the Common Stock shareholders on such issues, in effect, giving them a veto right. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the Preferred Stock will have a liquidating preference and will participate in any remaining liquidating proceeds on an as-converted basis with the common shareholders after receiving the liquidating value of their Preferred Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of our common stock by dividing the liquidity value of $100 by a conversion price of $0.07 per share of common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion is subject to antidilution protections if we issue additional shares of common stock at less than $0.07 per share and upon stock splits, dividends and certain other events. Reference is made to the Certificate of Designation for a complete description of the terms of the Preferred Stock. We will not register the share s of Preferred Stock or shares of common stock into which it may be converted with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission so as to make them eligible for publicly trading, and have no obligation or plans to do so in the future. Such shares will only be eligible to be sold or traded pursuant to the requirements of Rule 144, promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and applicable state securities laws.

SALE OF SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK TO INVESTORS

Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated as of January 13, 2009 (the "Investor Purchase Agreement"), we are selling 4,400 shares of Preferred Stock for $100 per share to a group of investors (the "Investors") in order to raise an aggregate of $440,000 of equity for working capital purposes. Participating in this transaction are our two senior executives and three key employees (together "Employees"). Payment will be in the form of cash at closing, except for the employees who will purchase an aggregate amount of $100,000 of Preferred Stock. Four of these employees will purchase shares with a 20% cash payment at closing and by executing a non-interest bearing promissory note payable semimonthly with a maturity date of March 31, 2009. One of these employees will purchase shares with an 8% cash payment at closing and execute a non-interest bearing promissory note payable semimonthly with a maturity date of October 31, 2009. These notes are nonrecourse and collateralized solely by the employee's Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock sold herewith, is convertible at $0.07 per share into a total of 6,285,714 shares of the Company's common stock, significantly diluting our existing common stock shareholders. In the Investor Purchase Agreement, we agree to indemnify investors against damages they may suffer as a result of our breach of certain representations and warranties we have made in that Agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR ACQUISITION OF CFP WITH SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK

Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated as of January 13, 2009 (the "CFP Purchase Agreement"), we are acquiring from the Cummins Family Limited Partnership, an Idaho limited partnership (the "Purchaser"), 100% of the outstanding stock of Cummins Family Produce, Inc., ("CFP") a potato packing business located in Idaho. The general partner and majority limited partner of the Purchaser is Cummins Family Holdings, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company controlled by Mr. Wes Cummins, a director of the Company. The consideration we are providing is the assumption of a bank promissory note in the amount of approximately $211,000 owed by Mr. Cummins in connection with the operations of CFP and 20,000 shares Preferred Stock we will issue at closing, valued at $2 million. Under a performance based earn-out provision, we are obligated to issue an additional number of shares of Preferred Stock, such that the total purchase price is equal to 4.25 times the yearly average EBITDA calculated over the next two years, less the value of the bank promissory note assumed. Immediately prior to this transaction, CFP will execute (a) a 5-year supply agreement with Southern Slope, Inc., and Black Rock Ag., Inc. (together the "Growers") who will provide their entire potato harvest to the packing facility and (b) a 5-year lease agreement whereby CFP will lease the packing facility and equipment from Cummins Family Holdings, LLC. We believe that both agreements reflect current pricing in the industry. We have no rights to renew these agreements. Mr. Cummins is a majority shareholder in Southern Slope, Inc. and family members of his are the majority shareholders in Black Rock Ag., Inc. The Preferred Stock initially issued to the Purchaser in regard to this transaction is convertible at $0.07 per share into a total of 28,571,429 shares of our common stock and will substantially dilute our existing common shareholders. As a result of this transaction, Mr. Cummins will control over 60% of the voting shares of the Company.

In the CFP Purchase Agreement, we agree to indemnify the Purchaser against damages it may suffer as a result of our breach of certain representations and warranties we have made in that Agreement. The Purchaser also has agreed to indemnify us against damages that may result if it breaches certain representations and warranties it has made relating to CFP and the Purchaser. Reference is made to, and each investor in the Preferred Stock must review, the CFP Purchase Agreement for a complete description of the terms of the CFP transactions.

Overview

We have four basic developmental technologies, all in the field of aviation security that we were pursuing. These technologies were substantially funded by government contracts. We have been unsuccessful in securing additional funding for these projects, and at May 31, 2008 decided to suspend all efforts on them.

In an effort to reduce our reliance on our aviation security technologies, we have undertaken an effort to identify potential diversifying, technology-based acquisitions to enhance shareholder value and provide better opportunity for profitable operations. To that end, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Plasma Products, Inc. ("APP"), which is a Nevada corporation, we have licensed patent rights from the University of Tennessee Research Foundation relating to atmospheric glow plasma technology. In addition, APP acquired the key assets from the previous licensee of that technology, hired some of its key employees, and secured a lease on its former facility. We believe that this technology has been advanced to the stage where several products can be commercialized and released to the market within two years.

Atmospheric glow discharge plasma is a technology that produces tailored plasma gas chemistry for a wide range of applications such as air purification, materials processing, decontamination, sterilization and many others. We believe these applications can create market opportunities that cover homeland security, health care, process control, and environmental protection, remediation and control.

The report of our independent registered public accountant issued in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year-ended May 31, 2008 indicated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have had recurring losses from operations that have greatly diminished our financial resources. Our liquidity to date has primarily been provided by revenue from government contracts and proceeds from the sale of its equity securities. Because we have not been successful in securing any additional government funding for development of our aviation security technologies, it became apparent that we needed to rely on the sale of equity securities and/or some type of financial transaction in order to generate sufficient working capital to successfully commercialize our newly acquired plasma gas technology and to pay for ongoing operations. In Item 5 of this Report on Form 10-Q, we described certain transactions we closed on January 14, 2009 which partially fill our need for working capital.

On September 29, 2008, we were delisted from the American Stock Exchange for failure to maintain the required listing standards. Our shares of common stock currently trade on the over-the-counter market under the symbol "FLTS".

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. We base these estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our management has discussed these estimates and assumptions with our finance and audit committee. Subjective judgments may have a material impact on our f inancial statements, including the valuation of inventory and intangible assets.

Federal Acquisitions Regulations require that, among other things, our reimbursable costs are reasonable. We have analyzed our actual overhead rate and general administrative rate for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008. We believe all component costs have been ordinary and necessary but that government auditors may consider some of our selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008 unreasonable for a company our size. The government has audited and accepted our rates through our fiscal year ended May 31, 2006. Since there is a degree of subjectivity in the judgment of what levels of cost are reasonable, we can make no assurance that the government will not require further adjustments.

Results of Operations

Revenues: Revenues for the three and six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 of $82,858, $75,144, $137,713 and $121,345 respectively, consisted entirely of revenue from our hydrodynamic software development contracts issued by companies in the maritime industry. The level of revenues is dependent upon the hours worked on the tasks required. As of November 30, 2008, we terminated these contracts as the software developer who worked on them resigned. We do not have the personnel to complete these contracts, nor do we believe we can hire such replacement personnel, therefore we expect these contracts to be cancelled.

Cost of revenues: Cost of revenues for the three and six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 were $35,997, $35,265, $61,036 and $78,016, respectively. It is comprised of subcontract, consultant and direct labor costs. The variances between the periods reported reflects the differences in direct labor hours incurred and billed and whether subcontractors and consultants were used.

Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 were $427,137, $742,980, $765,536 and $1,557,907, respectively. For the three-months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, the decrease in expenses of $315,843 resulted from the curtailment of operations in the aviation security part of our business which reduced expenditures by $408,709, partially offset by expenses relating to acquisition and development of our newly acquired plasma gas technology of $92,866. For the six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, the decrease in expenses of $792,371 also related to the curtailment of operations in the aviation security part of our business which reduced expenditures by $885,237, partially offset by expenses of $92,866 of the plasma gas technology.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 was $18,753, $27,250, $25,941 and $54,500, respectively. For all periods involved, the reduction in depreciation and amortization related to the write-down or disposition of several assets and the completion of depreciation on other assets, partially offset by depreciation expense relating to the Plasma business.

Research and development: Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 were $$69,644, $84,338, $90,726 and $193,760, respectively. The reductions in each of the respected periods resulted from the decision to suspend all development activities on our aviation related technologies until we are able to raise sufficient working capital for such purposes.

Other income: Other income for the three and six month periods ending November 31, 2008 relates to the disposition of several vehicles and fully-depreciated surplus equipment..

Interest income, net: Interest income, net for the three and six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 was $2,330, $30,973, $5,462 and $70,773, respectively. The reduction in each of the periods presented was attributable to a reduction in cash available for investment in interest bearing investments and accounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The report of our independent registered public accountant issued in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year-ended May 31, 2008 indicated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our sources of liquidity have been primarily from government contracts and equity financings. We have undertaken several actions to mitigate the liquidity issue. We have suspended all research and development activities on our related aviation technologies, as we currently do not have the funds to continue such efforts. In the event third party funding becomes available for this effort we will re-evaluate the resumption of such activities. In addition, our maritime contracts were terminated as a result of the resignation of the employee who specialized in such research and development. The maritime contracts were the Company's sole source of revenue in all periods presented. This lack of funding has had an adverse impact on our ability to develop our current aviation and security related technologies. As a result we have undertaken to diversify our technology base by identifying other technologies to reduce our reliance on our current technologies.

As a result of this diversification effort, on September 10, 2008, we finalized our licensing agreement with the University of Tennessee Research Foundation for the licensing of patent rights related to atmospheric glow plasma technology. The agreement provides for exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize the technology in all but a few fields of use. The payment for the UTRF license agreement consists of our issuance of 260,417 shares of our common stock to UTRF and on-going royalties which we believe are generally in line with the market for this type of license. The UTRF license agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this Report on Form 10-Q without certain information proprietary to UTRF that it has required us to redact. We believe this technology can be applied to produce products used for, among other things, the sterilization or cleaning of a wide variety of objects and substances, such as medical instruments and air. Commercialization of this technology will require final p roduct development and for certain applications may require regulatory approval. Additionally, in a related transaction on August 28, 2008, we purchased the assets of the previous licensee of this technology. These assets included essential instrument prototypes, engineering drawings, test equipment and a variety of facility related assets. The payment to the prior licensee for the assets was $125,000 cash and $200,000 paid by the issuance of 289,436 shares of our common stock. We have also hired two senior executives to manage the newly acquired technology and oversee the overall growth plan for the Company, due to their experience in growing early stage companies. As of September 2008, we started incurring additional operating costs relating to this new business. The Company's previous senior management had since resigned.

To develop products under the licensed technology and bring products to market, we estimate that we will require approximately $2.5 million of new working capital. We are looking to obtain this working capital with proceeds from one or more private placements of our securities, some type of financial transaction or a combination of both. On January 14, 2009, we completed a series of transactions in order to generate a portion of the required additional working capital, including the acquisition of a potato packing business located in Idaho known as Cummins Family Produce Inc., an Idaho corporation. In Item 5 of this Report on Form 10-Q, we describe these transactions and their anticipated impact on us and we refer the reader to Item 5 which must be read as a continuation of this discussion of our liquidity and capital resources.

Based on such evaluation, such officers has concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, 1) the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports the Company files under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and 2) the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and commu nicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

c)   Changes in Internal Controls. Effective September 2, 2008, the Company hired a new Chief Financial Officer. However, we do not believe that this will have a material affect on our internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A: Risk Factors

The following discussion supplements the discussion of the Company's known trends, risks and uncertainties contained in the Company's Annual Report filed on form 10-KSB for the year-ended May 31, 2008.

RISKS RELATING TO CONTINUATION OF OUR BUSINESS

To develop products under the licensed technology and bring products to market, we estimate that we will require approximately $2.5 million of new working capital. We are looking to obtain this working capital with proceeds from one or more private placements of our securities, some type of financial transaction or a combination of both. On January 14, 2009, we completed a series of transactions in order to generate additional working capital. See Item 5 in this Form 10-Q for a full description of the transactions. As a result of these transactions, we anticipate we will have sufficient cash resources into the middle of our fiscal 4th quarter, i.e., approximately April 15, 2009, at which time we will need to seek additional working capital. We anticipate the amount of such additional working capital could be in the range of approximately $350,000 to $500,000 but cannot predict or estimate such amount with certainty as the ultimate amount will depend on many variable s, such as potential third party development or licensing fees, the pace and success of our product development and sales, and cash generated the by the transactions described in Note 9. In the event we are unable to secure additional working capital we will have to curtail our operations accordingly, thus slowing down our product development and marketing efforts. Any curtailment of our operations could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial position.

Risks Related to Our Business

CONTINUING OPERATING LOSSES

We have a history of incurring significant operating losses, including an operating loss of $775,783 for the six-months ended November 30, 2008. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses until such time as we are able to successfully commercialize our newly licensed technology. However, we can provide no assurances as to when, if ever, we will achieve operating profits or if we do, that we will be able to sustain such profitability and at what level of profitability.

OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON OUR SUCCESSFUL COMMERCIALIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERIC GLOW PLASMA TECHNOLOGY

Our future success will depend on our ability to execute our operating plan to commercialize our newly acquired atmospheric glow plasma technology. On September 2, 2008 we organized a wholly owned subsidiary named Advanced Plasma Products, Inc. ("APP") to develop our 'plasma products line of business. APP has no history of operations or experience in commercialization of technology. We believe that our new senior management will be able to provide the necessary expertise to manage the commercialization of the technology, including the identification, acquisition and retention of the necessary resources. However, we estimate we will need approximately $2.5 million of working capital to execute our operating plan. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining this working capital at all or in a timely manner.

 

GOVERNMENT APPROVAL OF OUR PRODUCTS

Certain markets to be targeted by APP will require that our products receive governmental approval before they can be offered for sale. There can be no assurances that we will be able to secure such governmental approval or that we can get such governmental approval on a timely basis to take advantage of market conditions.

LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL

The future success of APP depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of Messrs. Wood and Rosenfeld and certain key employees of APP and of the Company. The loss of any one or more of those individuals for any reason could have a material adverse impact on the operations of APP and the Company. We anticipate hiring additional expertise so as to minimize this risk, but will be unable to do so until we have raised sufficient working capital. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to hire the additional expertise or be able to do so in a timely manner.

SUCCESSFUL SALES AND MARKETING

The sales and marketing of our products will require us to find additional capable employees or distributors and manufacturer's representatives, who can understand, explain, market, and sell our technology and products to our targeted markets. We may not be successful in attracting, integrating, motivating or retaining new personnel for this effort.

SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION

We also will need to assemble new personnel for the production of our products or identify an outside manufacturer for the production of our products. These demands will require us to rapidly increase the number of our employees, vendors, and subcontractors. There is intense competition for capable personnel in all of these areas, and we may not be successful in attracting, integrating, motivating, or retaining new personnel, vendors, or subcontractors for these required functions.

SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION

In many of our targeted markets, we may face significant competition in areas such as price, performance, perceived value, product recognition and availability of financial resources. Our strategy will be to design and position our products so that we can overcome these risks. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to overcome any or all of these competitive issues.

ACQUISITIONS COULD DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS

We may attempt to acquire businesses or technologies that we believe are a strategic or financial fit with our business. Any future acquisitions may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention. Since we may not be able to accurately predict these difficulties and expenditures, these costs may outweigh the value we realize from a future acquisition. Future acquisitions could result in issuances of equity securities that would reduce our stockholders' ownership interest.

 

Risks Related to Investment in Our Securities

RISKS RELATING TO PENNY STOCKS

On September 29, 2008 our securities were delisted from the American Stock Exchange because we were unable to meet the continuing listing requirements relating to minimum stockholders' equity, share price and our history of continuing losses. Our share price was $.20 at the time our delisting. Securities trading below $5.00 per share are subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These rules require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a security defined as a penny stock and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, generally institutions. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of such securities and the ability of purchasers to sell our securities in the secondary market. A penny stock is defined generally as any non-exchange listed equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Shares of our common stock are now trading over-the-counter.

RISKS RELATING TO SHAREHOLDER DILUTION

We have indicated that we need to raise an additional approximately $2.5 million dollars in working capital. The transactions we describe in Item 5 to this Report on Form 10-Q result in substantial dilution to our shareholders. With the trading range of the share price of our common stock between approximately $.02 and $.50, any future issuance of securities will significantly dilute the position of current shareholders.

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ AND EVALUATE THIS ENTIRE FORM 10-Q AND OUR CURRENT SEC FILINGS INCLUDING THE RISKS IT DESCRIBES AND NOT CONSIDER OR RELY UPON ANY STATEMENT OR OPINION ABOUT US THAT IS NOT CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 10-Q AND OUR CURRENT SEC FILINGS.

Certain statements, information and opinions about us have appeared and may continue to appear in published news reports, analysts' reports, other media sources and our web site. Some of the information contained in these reports or sources may not be material to understanding our business or may be out of date, erroneous or inconsistent with that disclosed in this Form 10-Q and our current SEC filings. In making a decision to invest in our securities, you should not rely upon any of these statements , information or opinions and should only rely upon, consider and carefully evaluate the information and risks contained I this Form 10-Q and our current SEC filings.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

On December 16, 2008, we filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designations of the Powers, Preferences and Relative, Participating, Optional and Other Special Rights of Preferred Stock and Qualifications, Limitations and Restrictions Thereof of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate") designating a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"), par value $0.001 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock has a liquidating value of $100 per share, is convertible into 1,429 shares of Common Stock of the Company (subject to adjustment) and pays a cash dividend of 8% or a dividend in kind of 10%. The dividends are paid quarterly and are based on the original purchase price of the Preferred Stock. No dividends will accrue or be paid for any fiscal quarter where shares of our common stock, on a volume weighted average price, trade in excess of $0.14. Initially, each share of Preferred Stock will have the equivalent voting rights of 1,429 shares of our common stock and will vote with our existing common shareholders as a group on all matters subject to shareholder vote. However, the Preferred Stock shareholders will not be able to vote on issues involving redemption or a liquidation event until there has been an affirmative vote on such issues by our common stock shareholders. In that event, they will be allowed to vote as a group with our common stock shareholders on such issues, in effect, giving them a veto right. In the event of a liquidation of our assets, the Preferred Stock will have a liquidating preference and will participate in any remaining liquidating proceeds on an as-converted basis with our common shareholders after receiving the liquidating value of their Preferred Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of our common stock by dividing the liquidity value of $100 by a conversion price of $0.07 per share of common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable up on conversion is subject to antidilution protections if we issue additional shares of common stock at less than $0.07 per share and upon stock splits, dividends and certain other events. The preceding description of the Preferred Stock is qualified in all respects by and reference is made to the Certificate which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, for a complete description of the terms of the Preferred Stock.

We will not register the shares of Preferred Stock or shares of common stock into which it may be converted with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission so as to make them eligible for publicly trading, and have no obligation or plans to do so in the future. Such shares will only be eligible to be sold or traded pursuant to the requirements of Rule 144, promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and applicable state securities laws.

SALE OF SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK TO INVESTORS

On January 13, 2009, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Investor Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which on January 14, 2009 we sold and issued 4,400 shares of Preferred Stock for $100 per share to a group of investors (the "Investors") in order to raise an aggregate of $440,000 of equity for working capital purposes. Participating in this transaction are our two senior executives and three key employees (together "employees"). Payment will be in the form of cash at closing, except for the employees who will purchase an aggregate amount of $100,000 of Preferred Stock. Four of these employees will purchase shares with a 20% cash payment at closing and by executing a non-interest bearing promissory note payable semimonthly with a maturity date of March 31, 2009. One of these employees will purchase shares with an 8% cash payment at closing and execute a non-interest bearing promissory note payable semimonthly with a maturity date of October 31, 2009. These notes are nonrecourse and collateralized solely by the employee's Preferred Stock.

The Preferred Stock sold herewith, is convertible at $0.07 per share into a total of 6,285,714 shares of the Company's common stock, and significantly dilutes our existing common stock shareholders.

In the Investor Purchase Agreement, we agree to indemnify investors against damages they may suffer as a result of our breach of certain representations and warranties we have made in that Agreement.

The preceding description is qualified in all respects by and reference is made to, the Certificate and the Investor Purchase Agreement, respectively filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto.

SALE OF SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK TO ACQUIRE NEW BUSINESS

On January 13, 2009, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "CFP Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which on January 14, 2009 we sold and issued 20,000 shares of Preferred Stock for $100 per share to Cummins Family Limited Partnership, an Idaho limited partnership (the "Purchaser"). The Purchaser conveyed and transferred to us 100% of the outstanding stock of Cummins Family Produce, Inc., ("CFP") a potato packing business located in Idaho. The general partner and majority limited partner of the Purchaser is Cummins Family Holdings, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company controlled by Mr. Wes Cummins, a director of the Company. The consideration we are providing to the Purchaser also includes CFP's assumption of a bank promissory note in the amount of approximately $211,000 incurred and owed by Mr. Cummins in connection with the operations of CFP. Under a performance based earn-out provision, we are obligated to issue an additional number of shares of Preferred Stock, such that the t otal purchase price is equal to 4.25 times the yearly average EBITDA of CFP calculated over the next two years, less the value of the bank promissory note assumed.

Just prior to the closing of this transaction, CFP executed (a) a 5-year supply agreement with Southern Slope, Inc., and Black Rock Ag., Inc. (together the "Growers") who will provide their potato harvest to the potato packing facility operated by CFP and (b) a 5-year lease agreement whereby CFP will lease the packing facility and equipment from Cummins Family Holdings, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company, which is controlled by Mr. Cummins. We believe that both agreements reflect current pricing in the industry. We have no rights to renew these agreements. Mr. Cummins is a majority shareholder in Southern Slope, Inc. and family members of his are the majority shareholders in Black Rock Ag., Inc.

The Preferred Stock initially issued to the Purchaser in regard to this transaction is convertible at $0.07 per share into a total of 28,571,429 shares of our common stock and substantially dilutes our existing common shareholders. As a result of this transaction, Mr. Cummins will control over 60% of our voting shares.

In the CFP Purchase Agreement, we agree to indemnify the Purchaser against damages it may suffer as a result of our breach of certain representations and warranties we have made in that Agreement. The Purchaser also has agreed to indemnify us against damages that may result if it breaches certain representations and warranties it has made relating to CFP and the Purchaser.

The preceding description is qualified in all respects by and reference is made to, the Certificate, CFP Purchase Agreement, the Supply Agreement and the Lease Agreement, respectively filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 hereto, for a complete description of the terms of the CFP transactions.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW BUSINESS

Independent potato growers generally do not take their product directly to market. They contract with packers, such as Cummins Family Produce, Inc., the company we have acquired, which charges a packing fee to clean, grade, pack, and sell the potatoes to end users in the specific packing configurations requested by the customer. We believe the commodity risk to CFP is mitigated in that the amount it will pay to the grower generally will be the difference between the sales price of the potatoes to the customer and the packing fee paid to CFP. The more potatoes that CFP can bring into its operation and the better the quality of the potato, the more packing revenue it can generate. This operation is highly automated and we believe can handle significant growth in its business without additional capital outlays, by extending or adding additional shifts of processing labor. We anticipate that this business can generate between $700,000 and $900,000 of free cash flow per year, as currently configured, although realization of revenue will depend on many factors and we can make no assurance as to the ultimate amount of revenue or cash flow that CFP will generate for us.

Our basic goal is to acquire cash flow, not hard assets, that CFP generates over a five year period, since the facility and equipment for the packing operation are being leased to us under a five (5) year lease and we have no renewal rights. Primarily all of the purchase price will be accounted for as goodwill. CFP has four full time salaried employees and approximately twenty hourly employees. We anticipate that all current employees of CFP will remain with CFP, including the current employee who manages its day-to-day operations.

RATIONALE FOR ACQUISTION OF NEW BUSINESS

We consider our acquisition of CFP strictly as a financial transaction by which we intend to procure cash flow from CFP over a five year period that will support development, marketing and sales of the atmospheric glow plasma technology we licensed from the University of Tennessee Research Foundation. As we have previously indicated, we need approximately $2.5 million over a period of time in order to execute our business plan with respect to the acquired atmospheric glow plasma technology. It became apparent that we would not be able to raise that amount of equity in a single transaction as a result of the deterioration of our financial condition, the delisting from Amex, the decline of our share price and the current state of the financial markets. Our management and directors therefore explored other means to provide the needed capital.

The cash provided by our sale of $440,000 of Preferred Stock will provide us with the initial capital to continue product development and start sales and marketing effort in our plasma business. We anticipate the cash provided by the CFP packing facility acquisition will supplement the initial capital as well as continue to supplement our monthly cash needs into our fourth fiscal quarter that begins March 1, 2009 so as to enable us to continue to operate and enable our wholly owned subsidiary, APP, to continue to develop the atmospheric plasma glow technology. However, we anticipate that by the middle of our fiscal 4th quarter, i.e., approximately April 15, 2009, we will need to secure additional working capital financing, until product revenues and cash flow from the packing facility create a sustainable operation. We anticipate the amount of such additional working capital could be in the range of approximately $350,000 to $ 500,000 but cannot predict or estimate such amount with certainty as the ultimate amount will depend on many variables, such as potential third party development or licensing fees, the pace and success of our product development and sales, and cash generated by CFP. In the event we are unable to secure additional working capital we will have to curtail our operations accordingly, thus slowing down our product development and marketing efforts. Any curtailment of our operations could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial position.

OTHER ISSUANCES OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK

To complete the licensing of the atmospheric glow technology, we issued 260,417 shares of our unregistered common stock to UTRF on January 7, 2009. We also are issuing 20,000 shares of our common stock to a former employee as part of a severance and transition assistance package.

CERTAIN RISK FACTORS

CFP acquired its packing business in May, 2008. As part of its diligence, our management has visited the operations of CFP and reviewed its books and records and unaudited financial statements. CFP has only been in operation since May 2008 and does not have audited financial statements.

Because of cash constraints, we have not received a third party evaluation or fairness opinion on the foregoing transactions. Our management and board of directors has evaluated and discussed these transactions both with the input of Mr. Cummins and outside of his presence, and in view of the alternatives, believe they are fair and in the best interests of our shareholders. Mr. Cummins recused himself from all director votes required to approve these transactions.

In addition to the risks described above and those set forth in our Annual Report of Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 2008 and in our quarterly report of Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2008, which are hereby incorporated by reference, there will be other risks associated with our acquisition of CFP such as:

1.     Falling demand for potatoes
2.     Poor potato harvests
3.     Loss of key employees of CFP
4.     Increase in operating costs of CFP
5.     Failure to achieve the expected cash flow levels
6.     Failure of potato growers to maintain required acreage resulting in supply shortages
7.     Poor quality potato product
8.     Competition from other potato packers
9.     Inability to keep the potato packing schedule full
10.     Catastrophic breakdown in equipment and software relating to the automated potato packing processes
11.     Failure to raise the additional working capital projected to be needed in our fiscal 4th quarter

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As previously stated, Mr. Wesley Cummins, who is a director and shareholder of the Company, and holds a controlling interest in Cummins Family Limited Partnership, Cummins Family Holdings, LLC and Southern Slope, Inc., is a principal and affiliate of CFP, the company we are purchasing and a principal or affiliate of the other parties to the Supply Agreement and Lease Agreement. Mr. Wesley Cummins' family members hold a controlling interest in Black Rock Ag., Inc.

Mr. James Schwartz, a director of the Company, is the managing member of Harvey Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is the manager of Harvey SMidCap Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and Harvey SMidCap Offshore Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company, which are participating in the Preferred Stock offering.

Mr. Kenneth Wood, President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company is participating in the Preferred Stock offering.

Mr. Richard S. Rosenfeld, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Operations, Secretary/Treasurer is participating in the Preferred Stock offering.

Changes in Control of Registrant

As previously described, as a result of the transactions that occurred on January 14, 2009 as previously described in this report, Mr. Cummins, or his affiliates, own approximately 60% of our outstanding equity securities, comprised of our common shares and shares of Preferred Stock, and, subject to the rights and limitations contained in the Certificate, can cast approximately 60% of the votes attributable to all of our outstanding securities.

In addition, Mr. Cummins' voting the Preferred Stock as a class effectively can veto fundamental transactions, such as a sale of assets or merger.

This change in control will also create limitations to the use of our existing net operating tax loss carryforwards.

Amendment to Bylaws

Effective on December 15, 2008, we amended our bylaws by a unanimous vote of our board of directors, with Mr. Cummins abstaining, to add a new Section 6.11 that makes Sections 78.378 through and including Section 78.3793 of the Nevada Revised Statutes inapplicable to us.

If a claim under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 of these Bylaws is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Nevada General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemni tee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this section or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

10.4 Non-Exclusivity of Rights

The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation's certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

10.5 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 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 Nevada General Corporation Law.

10.6 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation

The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors, grant rights to indemnification, and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

10.7 No Presumption of Bad Faith

The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

10.8 Survival of Rights

The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

10.9 Amendments to Law

For purposes of this Bylaw, the meaning of "law" within the phrase "to the fullest extent not prohibited by law" shall include, but not be limited to, the Nevada General Corporation Law, as the same exists on the date hereof or as it may be amended; provided, however, that in the case of any such amendment, such amendment shall apply only to the extent that it permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the Act permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment.

10.10 Savings Clause

If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Corporation shall indemnify each director, [officer or other agent] to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

10.11 Certain Definitions

For the purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) The term "proceeding" shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement and appeal of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Corporation or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the director or officer may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact that the director or officer is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(b) The term "expenses" shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, all costs, charges and expenses (including fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants and other experts) actually and reasonably incurred by a director or officer in connection with any proceeding, all expenses of investigations, judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals, and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under these Bylaws, but shall not include amounts paid in settlement, judgments or fines.

(c) "Corporation" shall mean Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. and any successor corporation thereof.

(d) Reference to a "director" or "officer" of the Corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(e) References to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans. References to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan. References to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries. A person who acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Bylaw.

SECTION 11. AMENDMENTS

These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the shareholders, in amending or repealing a particular Bylaw, may provide expressly that the Board of Directors may not amend or repeal that Bylaw. The shareholders may also make, alter, amend and repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation at any annual meeting or at a special meeting called for that purpose. All Bylaws made by the Board of Directors may be amended, repealed, altered or modified by the shareholders at any regular or special meeting called for that purpose.

The foregoing Bylaws were adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on May 22, 2001 and amended on December 15, 2008.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF THE POWERS, PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL AND OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS OF PREFERRED STOCK AND QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS THEREOF

Of

SERIES A

CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

for

FLIGHT SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

FLIGHT SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Corporation"), pursuant to the provisions of Section 78.1955 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, does hereby make this Certificate of Designations and does hereby state and certify that pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors duly adopted the following resolutions, which resolutions remain in full force and effect as of the date hereof:

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors hereby authorizes the issuance of, and fixes the designation and preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of a series of preferred stock consisting of 70,000 shares, par value $.001 per share, to be designated "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Preferred Shares"); and

RESOLVED, that each of the Preferred Shares shall rank equally in all respects and shall be subject to the following terms and provisions:

1. Designation. There is hereby created out of the authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation a series of preferred stock designated as the "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock", par value $.001 per share. The number of shares constituting such series shall be 70,000 shares.

2. Dividends.

(a) Dividend Rate. For so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall pay, at its discretion either: (i) a dividend payable in cash at a per annum rate of 8% of the Original Purchase Price (as defined below) per share; or (ii) a dividend payable in additional shares of Preferred Shares at a per annum rate of 10% of the Original Purchase Price per share; provided, however, that if the VWAP (as such term is defined below) for the common stock, par value $.001 of the Corporation ("Common Stock") exceeds Fourteen Cents ($0.14) per share with respect to any fiscal quarter, no dividends shall be due with respect to such fiscal quarter. Dividends shall be calculated on the basis of a 30-day month and a 360-day year. For purposes of calculating the number of Preferred Shares to be issued as a dividend under Section 2(a)(ii) hereof, the Preferred Shares to be issued shall be valued at a price per share equal to the Original Purchase Price. For purpos es of this Certificate, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

"VWAP" means the quarterly volume-weighted average sale price per share of Common Stock on the principal market for any particular fiscal quarter as reported, as such figure may be adjusted for stock splits and combinations of the Common Stock.

(b) Dividend Payment Dates. The dividend payment dates for the Preferred Shares are the first days of March, June, September, and December commencing March 1, 2009; provided that if any such payment date is not a Business Day (as defined below) then such dividend shall be payable on the next Business Day. The initial dividend period for any Preferred Shares shall commence on the day when such shares are issued. The term "Business Day" means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day on which banking institutions in New York are authorized or required to remain closed.

(c) Consent. For so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall not pay any dividends on any shares of Common Stock (except for dividends payable in Common Stock) or any shares of any other capital stock, or repurchase any shares of Common Stock (other than the repurchase of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to employment or consulting agreements with the Corporation, which are repurchased upon termination of employment or services for consideration no greater than the original issue price) or capital stock, without having received written consent of a majority of the votes attributable to the outstanding Preferred Shares (the "Required Holders"), voting separately from the holders of Common Stock.

3. Liquidation Events.

(a) Liquidation Preference. Upon (i) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the holders of the Preferred Shares, (A) a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another entity (except for a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least 50% of the outstanding voting power of such surviving Corporation), (B) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (for this purpose "substantially all" shall mean properties or assets with a fair market value equal to 60% or more of the fair market value of the Corporation's total properties or assets as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter and "sale" shall not include a bona fide pledge of assets), (C) any issuance of shares of capital stock by the Corporation in one or more related tr ansactions except for (x) an issuance of shares of capital stock in which the holders of capital stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such issuance of stock continue to hold at least 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Corporation after such issuance of shares of capital stock or (y) the issuance of Preferred Shares on the Original Issue Date (as such term is defined below), or (D) the repurchase by the Corporation of shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other than the Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof) such that the holders of capital stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such repurchase do not hold at least 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Corporation after such repurchase (each of the transactions or events described in Sections (i) and (ii) (A) - (D) of this Section 3(a) is referred to as a "Liquidation Event" herein), each holder of outstanding Preferred Shares shall be entitled to be paid out of the consideration payable to the stockhol ders of the Corporation (in the case of a merger or consolidation, for example) or of the consideration payable to the Corporation (net of obligations owed by the Corporation) together with all other available assets of the Corporation (in the case of an asset sale, for example), as the case may be, whether such assets are capital, surplus or capital earnings, prior and in preference to any payments being paid to holders of Common Stock of the Corporation or other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares, an amount in cash equal to $100.00 per share (the "Original Purchase Price") plus any declared or accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (collectively with the Original Purchase Price per share, the "Preferred Share Liquidation Preference"); provided that if, upon any Liquidation Event, the Preferred Share Liquidation Preference as provided in this Section 3(a) is not paid in full, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled. For the avoidance of doubt, a sale of shares of capital stock of the Corporation by anyone other than the Corporation (for example a sale of shares of capital stock on the open market) shall not result in a Liquidation Event, notwithstanding a change of control of the Corporation, so long as such transaction does not otherwise fall under the provisions of (A) - (D) of this Section 3(a).

(b) Participation. After payment in the full of the Preferred Share Liquidation Preference, the holders of outstanding Preferred Shares and Common Stock shall share in any consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation (in the case of a stock repurchase, for example) or of the consideration payable to the Corporation (net of obligations owed by the Corporation) together with all other available assets of the Corporation (in the case of an asset sale, for example) pro rata (as if the Preferred Shares had been converted into Common Stock as of the date immediately prior to the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount which would be receivable if the Preferred Shares had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the Liquidation Event is greater than the amount which would be paid under the foregoing provisions of Section 3(a) and this Section 3(b), then the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive such greater amount.

(c) Surrender of Certificates. On the effective date of any Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall pay all consideration to which the holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled under this Section 3. Upon receipt of such payment, each holder of Preferred Shares shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto), at the principal executive office of the Corporation or the offices of the transfer agent for the Corporation, or shall notify the Corporation or any transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, whereupon each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired.

(d) Notice. Prior to the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, the Corporation will furnish each holder of Preferred Shares notice to each holder at its address shown on the records of the Corporation, together with a certificate prepared by the chief financial officer of the Corporation describing in reasonable detail the facts of such Liquidation Event, stating in reasonable detail the amount(s) per share of Preferred Shares each holder of Preferred Shares would receive pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3(a) and 3(b) hereof and stating in reasonable detail the facts upon which such amount was determined and describing (if applicable) in reasonable detail all material terms of such Liquidation Event, to the extent known by the Corporation, including without limitation the consideration to be delivered in connection with such Liquidation Event, the valuation of the Corporation at the time of such Liquidation Event and the identities of the parties to the Liquidation Event. < /P>

4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Shares shall have optional conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):

(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Shares shall be convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (i) the Original Purchase Price by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The "Conversion Price" for the Preferred Shares shall initially be Seven Cents ($0.07); provided, however, that such conversion shall be mandatory in the event the Required Holders vote to convert all of the Preferred Shares. Such Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Preferred Shares may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(d) below.

(b) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) "Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation after the date upon which a share of the Preferred Shares was first issued (the "Original Issue Date"), other than:

(A) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend or other distribution on (x) the Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 2(a) above or (y) shares of Common Stock that is covered by Section 4(f) or Section 4(g) below;

(B) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Shares;

(C) shares of Common Stock actually issued (as opposed to deemed issued under Section 4(d)(iii)) upon exercise of any Option or Convertible Security outstanding on the Original Issue Date;

(D) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to employees, directors or consultants pursuant to equity incentive plans approved by the board of directors of the Corporation and adopted by the shareholders of the Corporation; or

(E) shares of Common Stock designated as exempt from the definition of Additional Shares of Common Stock by the Required Holders.

(ii) "Appraisal Procedure" shall be the procedure to determine fair market value of any security or other property (in either case, the "valuation amount"). If the Required Holders and the Board of Directors are not able to agree on the valuation amount within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 20 days), the valuation amount shall be determined by an investment banking firm, which firm shall be unaffiliated with the Corporation and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors and the Required Holders. If the Board of Directors and the Required Holders are unable to agree upon an acceptable investment banking firm within 10 days after the date either party proposed that one be selected, the investment banking firm will be selected by an arbitrator located in New York, New York selected by the American Arbitration Association (or if such organization ceases to exist, the arbitrator shall be chosen by a court of competent jurisdiction). The arbitrator shall sele ct the investment banking firm (within 10 days of his appointment) from a list, jointly prepared by the Required Holders and the Board of Directors, of not more than four investment banking firms in the United States, of which no more than two may be named by the Board of Directors and no more than two may be named by the Required Holders. The arbitrator may consider, within the ten-day period allotted, arguments from the parties regarding which investment banking firm to choose, but the selection by the arbitrator shall be made in its sole discretion from the list of four. The Board of Directors and the Required Holders shall submit their respective valuations and other relevant data to the investment banking firm, and the investment banking firm shall as soon as practicable thereafter make its own determination of the valuation amount. The final valuation amount for purposes hereof shall be the average of the two valuation amounts closest together, as determined by the investment banking firm, from among t he valuation amounts submitted by the Corporation and the Required Holders and the valuation amount calculated by the investment banking firm. The determination of the final valuation amount by such investment banking firm shall be final and binding upon the parties. The Corporation shall pay the fees and expenses of the investment banking firm and arbitrator (if any) used to determine the valuation amount. If required by any such investment banking firm or arbitrator, the Corporation shall execute a retainer and engagement letter containing reasonable terms and conditions, including, without limitation, customary provisions concerning the rights of indemnification and contribution by the Corporation in favor of such investment banking firm or arbitrator and its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and affiliates. If the valuation amount is for Common Stock of the Corporation, the valuation amount shall not include a discount for minority ownership or illiquidity or a control premium.

(iii) "As-Converted Basis" shall mean, for the purpose of determining the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, a basis of calculation which takes into account (A) the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued and outstanding at the time of such determination, and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock that is then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Convertible Securities (as defined below), including without limitation, the Preferred Shares.

(iv) "Convertible Securities" shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock) or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.

(v) "Option" shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) In order for a holder of Preferred Shares to convert shares of Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall provide, at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Shares (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Preferred Shares represented by the certificate or certificates held by such holder. Such notice shall state such holder's name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued; provided, that in the case the nominee is different than such holder, the holder shall also provide such additional documentation as the Corporation shall reasonably request to establish that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The date of receipt of such certificates and notice by the transfer agent (o r by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) shall be the conversion date ("Conversion Date"). The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, but in any event within 3 business days after the later of (A) the Conversion Date or (B) in the event the holder has requested that the shares be issued in the name of a nominee different than such holder, the date on which the holder provides such additional documentation as the Corporation shall reasonably request to establish that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Shares, or to his or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share. On the Conversion Date, each holder of record of shares of Preferred Shares to be surrendered for conversion shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Shares, notwithstanding that the certificates representing such shares of Preferred Shares shall not have been surrendered at the office of the Corporation, that notice from the Corporation shall not have been received by any holder of record of shares of such Preferred Shares, or that the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such holder.

(ii) At all times when any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares. The Corporation promptly will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including without limitation engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing any Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the applicable Preferred Shares, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Corporation may validl y and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

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

(iv) The Corporation shall pay any and all issue, transfer, stamp and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 4. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Preferred Shares so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

 

(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

(i) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares shall be made unless the consideration per share for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares.

(ii) Full Ratchet; Weighted Average.

(A) Full Ratchet. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date shall issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii) below but excluding shares issued as stock split or combination as provided in Section 4(f) below, issued upon a dividend or distribution as provided in Section 4(g) below or deemed to be issued upon a dividend of Preferred Shares as provided in Section 2(a) above) without consideration or for consideration per share lower than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, the Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares shall be lowered to equal such consideration per share. For purposes of this Section 4(d)(ii), any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued for no consideration shall be deemed to be issued for a consideration per share of $.001, subject to adjustments for C ommon Stock splits, dividends, and combinations.

(B) Weighted Average. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time on or after the one (1) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date shall issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii) below but excluding shares issued as stock split or combination as provided in Section 4(f) below, issued upon a dividend or distribution as provided in Section 4(g) below or deemed to be issued upon a dividend of Preferred Shares as provided in Section 2(a) above) without consideration or for consideration per share lower than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then in such event the Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares shall be lowered to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstandin g immediately prior to such issue (on an As-Converted Basis) plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or to be received by the Company for such Additional Shares of Common Stock would purchase at such Conversion Price, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (on an As-Converted Basis) plus (2) the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued and/or deemed to be issued. For purposes of this Section 4(d)(ii), any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued for no consideration shall be deemed to be issued for a consideration per share of $.001, subject to adjustments for Common Stock splits, dividends, and combinations.

(iii) Issue of Securities, Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

(A) No further adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon (1) the exercise or conversion of any Options or Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date hereof; (2) the exercise of any Options by employees, directors, or consultants pursuant to equity incentive plans approved by the board of directors of the Corporation and adopted by the shareholders of the Corporation; or (3) the conversion of the Preferred Shares;

(B) If such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;

(C) Upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

1) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange; and

2) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(D) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, the Conversion Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security not exercised or converted prior to such change been made upon the basis of such change; and

(E) No readjustment pursuant to clause (B), (C) or (D) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (1) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (2) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

In the event the Corporation, after the Original Issue Date, amends any Options or Convertible Securities (whether such Options or Convertible Securities were outstanding on the Original Issue Date or were issued after the Original Issue Date) to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder or decrease the consideration to be paid upon exercise or conversion thereof, then such Options or Convertible Securities, as so amended, shall be deemed to have been issued after the Original Issue Date and the provisions of this Section 4(d)(iii) shall apply.

(e) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4, the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(i) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, or if requested by the Required Holders, by agreement of the Board of Directors and the Required Holders, and if the Board of Directors and the Required Holders do not agree on such fair market value, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the definition of Appraisal Procedure; and

(C) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(ii) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii) above, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(A) the total amount, if any, received by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a potential subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a potential subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

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

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

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

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;

provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the applicable Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter each Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(h) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for below), then and in each such event the holder of each such share of Preferred Shares shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable, upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Shares might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided he rein.

(i) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, Etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another company or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another company, each share of Preferred Shares, if any, remaining outstanding after such consolidation, merger or sale shall thereafter be convertible (or shall be converted into a security which shall be convertible) into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of such Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or sale; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 4 set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of the Preferred Shares, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisio ns with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable as before the consolidation or merger. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Corporation's Board of Directors shall make an appropriate reduction in each Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares.

(j) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Shares a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Shares, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a similar certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which then would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Shares.

(k) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, as mutually agreed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Required Holders; provided, however, that if such mutual agreement cannot be reached, such fair market value shall be determined by following the Appraisal Procedures. The determination of fractional shares shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion by any holder of Preferred Shares and not on the individual shares of Preferred Shares held by such holder.

(l) Notice of Record Date. In the event:

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

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

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

(iv) of the involuntary or voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then the Corporation shall cause to be filed at its principal office or at the office of the transfer agent of the Preferred Shares, and shall cause to be mailed to the holders of the Preferred Shares at their last addresses as shown on the records of the Corporation or such transfer agent, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified in (1) below or 20 days before the date specified in (2) below, a notice stating

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

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

1.     Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, each of the Growers hereby agrees to sell, and CFP agrees to purchase, all of the potatoes grown in Idaho by such Grower during the term hereof; provided, however, that the Growers may together grow potatoes on up to an aggregate of 1,000 acres of real property per year pursuant to a joint venture or contract with ConAgra Foods, Inc. that will not be subject to this Agreement.

2.     Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall run until November 30, 2013. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods unless any party provides written notice to the other parties of its intent not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following (each, an "Early Termination Event"):

     2.1     CFP shall default in the payment of rent or any other amount due (beyond any applicable cure or notice periods) under its Lease Agreement dated January 13, 2009 (the "Lease Agreement") between CFP and Cummins Family Holdings, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company ("Holdings");

     2.2     Any failure by CFP to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of the Lease Agreement to be observed or performed by CFP where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Holdings to CFP; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, CFP shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such cure within such period and thereafter rectify and cure said default with due diligence;

     2.3     CFP elects in writing to terminate this Agreement with respect to either Grower following a breach by such Grower of the terms and conditions contained herein; provided, however, that such Grower shall first receive fifteen (15) days' prior written notice of such breach and such Grower shall fail to remedy the same within such fifteen (15) day period;

     2.4     Either Grower elects in writing to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Grower following a breach by CFP of the terms and conditions contained herein; provided, however, that CFP shall first receive fifteen (15) days' prior written notice of such breach and CFP shall fail to remedy the same within such fifteen (15) day period;

     2.5     An assignment by CFP for the benefit of its creditors; or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition by or against CFP under any law for the purpose of adjudicating CFP as bankrupt, or for extending time for payment, adjustment or satisfaction of CFP's liabilities, or the reorganization, dissolution, or arrangement on account of or to prevent bankruptcy or insolvency of CFP; unless the assignment or proceedings, and all orders, adjudications, custodies and supervision are dismissed, vacated or otherwise permanently stayed or terminated within sixty (60) days after the assignment, filing or other initial event;

     2.6     An assignment by Flight Safety Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Flight Safety") for the benefit of its creditors; or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition by or against Flight Safety under any law for the purpose of adjudicating Flight Safety as bankrupt, or for extending time for payment, adjustment or satisfaction of Flight Safety's liabilities, or the reorganization, dissolution, or arrangement on account of or to prevent bankruptcy or insolvency of Flight Safety; unless the assignment or proceedings, and all orders, adjudications, custodies and supervision are dismissed, vacated or otherwise permanently stayed or terminated within sixty (60) days after the assignment, filing or other initial event; or

     2.7     Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Flight Safety acquired by Cummins Family Limited Partnership, L.P., an Idaho corporation (the "Purchaser") pursuant to the Purchase Agreement executed on or about the date hereof by and between Flight Safety and the Purchaser (the "Purchase Agreement") shall be or become non-voting for any reason.

     Upon any termination of this Agreement, whether as a result of an Early Termination Event or otherwise, each Grower's obligation to deliver potatoes hereunder shall immediately terminate, and CFP shall pay to each Grower the amount owing to such Grower with respect to any potatoes previously delivered.

3.     Delivery. Each Grower shall, at its expense, deliver its potatoes to CFP's packing shed located at 2570 Eldridge Ave., Twin Falls, Idaho 83301. The delivery schedule shall be mutually agreed upon by each Grower and CFP to provide for an even packing rate throughout the year. Title to and risk of loss of potatoes shall remain with the respective Grower until such potatoes have been weighed and unloaded by CFP.

4.     Price. The purchase price of each Grower's potatoes shall be (a) the price at which CFP sells the potatoes less (b) packing charges with respect to such potatoes at the rates set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the "Packing Charges"). Commencing on the one (1) year anniversary hereof and on each one (1) year anniversary thereafter, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith in an attempt to amend the Packing Charges to reflect increases or decreases in the cost component of the Packing Charges.

5.     Payments. CFP shall pay each Grower for such Grower's respective potatoes within sixty (60) days of delivery. CFP is authorized to distribute payments to each Grower at such Grower's address listed in the first paragraph hereof, or at such other address as may be requested by such Grower in writing. If the potatoes provided by such Grower are subject to any liens, CFP is hereby authorized, in accordance with the Food Security Act of 1985, to add such lien holders as additional payees on any checks issued to such Grower with respect to such potatoes.

6.     Pesticides. Each Grower agrees to use only those pesticides and chemicals that are lawfully registered; and warrants that the potatoes, when delivered to CFP, are not contaminated with any substance that constitutes a food safety hazard, or adulterated within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. In the event of non-compliance by a Grower with any part of this section, CFP shall have the option of refusing to accept delivery of such portion of such Grower's potatoes, which shall cease any obligation to pay for any rejected potatoes.

7.     Exclusivity.

     7.1     Crop Rotation. Each Grower shall grow potatoes on all agricultural property owned or leased in Idaho by such Grower, subject to a reasonable crop rotation.

     7.2     Other Operations. During the term of this Agreement, each of Wesley and Lance (with respect to Southern Slope) and Nicholas and Nathan (with respect to Black Rock) hereby covenant and agree not to directly or indirectly (whether as an owner, partner, joint venturer or agent) grow potatoes other than through Southern Slope and Black Rock.

8.     Miscellaneous.

     8.1     Several Obligations. The covenants, agreements, conditions, provisions, representations, warranties or obligations of each party hereunder shall be several with respect to such party, and not joint.

     8.2     Further Assurances. The parties hereto shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the other parties at such times and places as shall be reasonably agreed, such additional instruments as the other may reasonably request for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     8.3     Relationship. The parties agree that nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any partnership, agency, or employment arrangement.

     8.4     Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder may not be assigned (except by operation of law) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns and the heirs and legal representatives of any individual party hereto.

     8.5     Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement (including the exhibits and annexes attached hereto) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

     8.6     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by original or facsimile signature, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

     8.7     Severability. If any clause or provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws, then such clause or provision will be severed from this Agreement and the Agreement will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law in a manner that is consistent with the intentions of the parties hereto.

     8.8     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Idaho without regard to its conflict of law rules.

     8.9     Litigation. Should any litigation be commenced between the parties concerning this Agreement or the rights and duties of the parties in relation thereto, the action shall be brought in Twin Falls County, Idaho. The prevailing party in any litigation shall be entitled to recover, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, reasonable attorneys fees and costs.

     8.10     Exercise of Rights and Remedies. No delay of or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default by any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of any similar breach or default occurring later; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring before or after that waiver.

     8.11     No Third-Party Rights. This Agreement and the covenants and agreements contained herein are solely for the benefit of the parties hereto. No other person or entity shall be entitled to enforce, make any claims under, or have any right pursuant to, the provisions of this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.5

Lease Agreement

This Lease Agreement (the "Lease") is dated as of January 13, 2009 by and among Cummins Family Holdings, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company whose address is 2570 Eldridge Ave., Twin Falls, Idaho 83301 ("Lessor") and Cummins Family Produce, Inc., an Idaho corporation whose address is 2570 Eldridge Ave., Twin Falls, Idaho 83301 ("Lessee").

WHEREAS, the Lessor is the owner of (a) real property located in Twin Falls County, Idaho legally described on Exhibit A hereto, together with all improvements thereon and appurtenances thereto (the "Real Property"), (b) the personal property described on Exhibit B hereto together with all replacements, repairs and additions incorporated therein or affixed thereto (collectively, the "Packing Equipment") and (c) the personal property described on Exhibit C hereto together with all replacements, repairs and additions incorporated therein or affixed thereto (collectively, the "Miscellaneous Property," and together with the Packing Equipment, the "Personal Property"). For purposes of this Lease, the "Property" shall mean the Real Property and the Personal Property;

WHEREAS, in connection with the purchase of the Packing Equipment by Wesley Cummins ("Wesley"), Wesley executed a Promissory Note in favor of Key Equipment Finance Inc. (the "Lender") in the amount of Three Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($387,000.00) (the "Note") and a Master Security Agreement with the Lender whereby Wesley granted a security interest in the Packing Equipment to the Lender (the "Security Agreement," and together with the Note and the ancillary documents thereto and amendments thereof, the "Loan Documents"); and

WHEREAS, Wesley transferred the Packing Equipment to the Lessor effective as of May 29, 2008 in exchange for the Lessor's assumption of Wesley's obligations under the Loan Documents, which Loan Documents shall continue to encumber the Packing Equipment until the obligations arising under such Loan Documents are paid in full; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire that the Lessor lease the Property to the Lessee on and subject to the terms hereof;

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.     Lease. Lessor hereby agrees to lease the Property to the Lessee, and Lessee hereby agrees to lease the Property from Lessor, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

        Term. This Lease shall commence on the date hereof (the "Effective Date"). The initial term of this Lease shall run until December 31, 2013. Thereafter, this Lease shall automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods unless either party provides written notice to the other party of its intent not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

2.     Rent.

     2.1      General. Rent shall be payable in the amount of Twenty Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($20,000.00) per month on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month without prior demand and without offset. Rent for the initial partial month of January 2009 shall be payable on the date hereof and pro rated based on the actual days in such month. In addition to other rights provided herein and by law, if rent or any other amount required to be paid by Lessee hereunder is not received by the tenth (10th) day after the date when due, such rent or other amount shall bear interest at the rate of Twelve Percent (12.00%) per annum (the "Default Rate") from the date due.

     2.2     Taxes. Lessee shall pay any applicable sales tax, use tax or property tax on the Property in accordance with Section 12.

3.     Disclaimer of Warranties. Lessee agrees that it has selected the Property based upon its own judgment and disclaims any reliance upon any statements or representations made by Lessor. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AND LESSOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE PROPERTY. Lessee agrees to make the rental and other payments required hereunder without regard to the condition of the Property. Lessor assumes no responsibility for the installation, adjusting or servicing of the Property.

4.     Title. Title to the Property shall at all times remain with Lessor, and Lessee at its expense shall protect and defend the title of Lessor and keep the Property free of all claims and liens other than the rights of Lessee hereunder and claims and liens created by or arising through Lessor (such as liens arising pursuant to the Loan Documents). While Lessee may possess the Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease, the Lessee expressly acknowledges the existence of the Lender's security interest in the Packing Equipment.

5.     Location; Inspection. The Packing Equipment shall be located on the Real Property and shall not be removed therefrom (other than temporary removal in the ordinary course of business) without the prior written consent of the Lessor. The Lessor shall have the right to enter upon the Real Property and inspect the Property at any reasonable time. The Lender shall have the right to enter upon the Real Property and inspect the Packing Equipment at any reasonable time. At the Lessor's request, the Lessee shall (a) affix permanent labels in a prominent place on the Packing Equipment stating the Lessor's interest therein (and the Lender's interest therein, as applicable), (b) keep such labels in good repair and condition and (c) provide Lessor with an inventory listing all labeled Packing Equipment within twenty (20) days of such request.

6.     Use; Alterations. Lessee shall use the Property lawfully and only in the manner for which it was designed and intended and so as to subject it only to ordinary wear and tear. Lessee shall comply with all applicable laws, and will not permit any person to dispose of any hazardous materials into or onto the Real Property. Lessee shall immediately notify the Lessor, in writing, upon becoming aware of any existing threatened investigation, claim or action by any governmental authority that could adversely affect the Property, the Lessor, the Lender or this Lease. Lessee, at its own expense, shall make such alterations, additions or modifications to the Property as may be required from time to time to meet the requirements of applicable law or governmental body (each, a "Required Alteration"). All such Required Alterations shall immediately, and without further act, be deemed to constitute "Property" and be fully subject to this Lease as if originally leased hereunde r. Lessee shall not make any other alterations to the Property without Lessor's prior written consent.

7.     Repairs and Maintenance.

     7.1     Lessee Repairs and Maintenance. Other than as explicitly made the Lessor's responsibility under Section 8.2, Lessee, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, shall (a) keep the Property in good repair, operating condition, appearance and working order in compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations and Lessee's standard practices (but in no event less than industry practices), (b) properly service all components of the Property following the manufacturer's written operating and servicing procedures, (c) upon Lessor's request, enter into and keep in full force and effect during the term hereof a maintenance agreement covering the Packing Equipment with the manufacturer, or a manufacturer-approved maintenance organization, to maintain, service and repair such Property, as otherwise required herein, (d) upon Lessor's request, furnish Lessor with an executed copy of any such maintenance agreement, and (e) replace any part of the Property t hat becomes unfit or unavailable for use from any cause (whether or not such replacement is covered by a maintenance agreement) with a replacement part that, in Lessor's sole opinion, is of the same manufacture, value, remaining useful life and utility as the replaced part immediately preceding the replacement, assuming that such replaced part was in the condition required by this Lease. Replacement parts shall be free and clear of all liens, constitute Property and be fully subject to this Lease as if originally leased hereunder.

     7.2     Lessor Repairs and Maintenance. Lessor, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for any repairs or replacements that are required to the structural or mechanical systems of the Real Property (specifically excluding the Packing Equipment, whether or not attached to the Real Property) which (a) would be classified as capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting principals and (b) are not otherwise covered by insurance under Section 11; provided, however, that the Lessor shall only be responsible under this Section 8.2 (i) for any such repair or replacement costing in excess of $10,000 each, in which event the Lessor shall be responsible for the entire cost of such repair or replacement or (ii) if the Lessee has been responsible for repairs or replacements costing less than $10,000 each, but which in the aggregate exceed $75,000 in any year, in which event the Lessor shall be responsible for any such exc ess.

8.     Transfers and Assignment.

     8.1     Lessee Transfer. Without Lessor's prior written consent, Lessee will not (a) sell, assign, sublet, pledge, or otherwise encumber or permit a lien to exist on or against any interest in this Lease or the Property, (b) rent or lend the Property to anyone or (c) permit the Property to be used by anyone other than the Lessee or its respective qualified employees. Lessee acknowledges that it remains primarily liable for all obligations hereunder notwithstanding use of the Property by any other party.

     8.2     Lessor Transfer. Lessor, at any time with or without notice to Lessee, may sell, transfer, assign and/or grant a security interest in all or any part of Lessor's interest in this Lease or all or any part of the Property (each, a "Lessor Transfer"). Any purchaser, transferee, assignee or secured party of Lessor (each a "Lessor Assignee") shall have and may exercise all of Lessor's rights hereunder with respect to the Property to which any such Lessor Transfer relates. Upon receipt of written notice of a Lessor Transfer, Lessee shall promptly acknowledge in writing its obligations hereunder, shall comply with the written directions or demands of any Lessor Assignee and shall make all payments due hereunder as directed in writing by the Lessor Assignee. Following such Lessor Transfer, the term "Lessor" shall be deemed to include or refer to each Lessor Assignee; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations of the Less ee shall apply to both the Lessor and each Lessor Assignee, as well as their respective members, shareholders, directors, officers and agents.

9.     Risk of Loss. Lessee shall bear the entire risk of loss (including without limitation, theft, destruction, disappearance of or damage to the Property from any cause whatsoever), whether or not insured against, during the term of this Lease. No such loss shall relieve Lessee of the obligation to pay rent or of any other obligation hereunder.

10.     Insurance.

     10.1     Lessee shall, at all times during the term hereof and at Lessee's own cost and expense, maintain (a) insurance against all risks of physical loss or damage to Property for the full replacement value thereof, and (b) commercial general liability insurance (including blanket contractual liability coverage and products liability coverage) for personal and bodily injury and property damage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.

     10.2     All insurance policies required hereunder shall include terms, and be with insurance carriers, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each policy shall include the following terms: (i) all physical damage insurance shall name Lessor (and with respect to the Packing Equipment, the Lender) and its/their assigns as loss payees, (ii) all liability insurance shall name Lessor (and with respect to the Packing Equipment, the Lender) and its/their assigns as additional insureds, (iii) the policy shall not be canceled or altered without at least thirty days' advance notice to Lessor (and with respect to the Packing Equipment, the Lender) and its assigns and (iv) coverage shall not be invalidated against Lessor (and with respect to the Packing Equipment, the Lender) or its assigns because of any violation of any condition or warranty contained in any policy or application therefor by Lessee o r by reason of any action or inaction of Lessee. On May 19, 2009 and each one (1) year anniversary thereof, and during the term hereof, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor certificates or other proof of insurance satisfactory to Lessor evidencing the coverage required by this section.

11.     Taxes. Lessee shall pay when due and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and Lender (on an after-tax basis) from and against any and all taxes, fees, withholdings, levies, imposts, duties, assessments and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever (including any related penalties and interest) imposed upon or against Lessor, Lender, any Lessor Assignee, any Lender assignee, Lessee or any of the Property by any governmental authority in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to the Property, this Lease or any rent and receipts or earnings arising therefrom, including without limitation any sales or use tax, and excepting only all Federal, state and local taxes on or measured by Lessor's or Lender's net income. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive any termination of this Lease for a period of three (3) years. The termination of such indemnification period, however, shall not affect any claim if written notice of such claim is given to the Lessee prior to such termination date.

12.     Lessor's Right to Perform for Lessee. If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations contained herein, Lessor may (but shall not be obligated to) itself perform such obligations, and the amount of the reasonable costs and expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with such performance, together with interest on such amount from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate, shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. No such performance by Lessor shall be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies of Lessor or be deemed to cure any Default of Lessee hereunder (as such term is defined below).

13.     End of Lease Term. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the Lessee will immediately deliver the Property to Lessor in the same condition as when delivered to Lessee, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

14.     Default; Remedies.

     14.1     Default by Lessee. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a "Default" and a material breach of this Lease by the Lessee:

          (a)     Lessee fails to pay any rent or other amount due hereunder when due, where such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee;

          (b)     Any failure by Lessee to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such cure within such period and thereafter rectify and cure said default with due diligence;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSEE shall owe no Running Royalties on any Sale that does not take place during the Term of this Agreement. For purposes of determining whether a Sale takes place during the Term of this Agreement, a Sale shall be deemed to occur upon the earlier of the shipment of a Licensed Product or the performance of a service using Licensed Technology or invoicing.

(d) Service Applications: Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSEE shall pay to UTRF Running Royalties equal to ______*________ of any Net Sales generated from the performance of medical waste processing services that utilize Licensed Technology.

("Sublicense Royalties") Payment of Sublicense Royalties shall be made on a semi-annual basis by the last day of January and July each year on Sublicense Revenue generated during the immediately preceding calendar half-year. For example, payment of Sublicense Royalties will be due by the last day of July on Sublicense Revenue occurring during the first half (January through June) of the same calendar year.

(b) Notice documenting that Running Royalties payable under this Agreement are higher than a country's maximum royalties shall be provided to UTRF;

(c) An authorized representative of LICENSEE shall notify UTRF, in writing, within 30 days of discovering that such Running Royalties are approaching or have reached the maximum amount; and

(d) LICENSEE shall provide UTRF with written documentation regarding the laws or regulations establishing any such maximum.

5.5 Payment Shortage: If an examination of records provided under Article 6 of this Agreement reveals a payment shortage of greater than 5% of the total amount due under any one royalty payment, LICENSEE shall promptly reimburse UTRF for the reasonable cost of examination, the shortage in payment, and the interest accrued on the shortage under Article 5.8 of this Agreement. Each event of payment shortage of greater than 5% shall be considered a failure to make a payment under Articles 14.

5.6 Manner of Payments: All payments shall be paid in United States dollars in Knoxville, Tennessee, or at such other place as UTRF may reasonably designate consistent with the laws and regulations controlling in the United States or any foreign country. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the payment of royalties hereunder, such conversion shall be made by using the exchange rate listed in the Wall Street Journal for major New York banks on the last business day of the calendar quarter to which such royalty payments relate. If the transfer of moneys owed to UTRF or the conversion into United States Dollar equivalents in any such instance is not lawful or possible, the payment of such part of the royalties as is necessary shall be made by the deposit thereof, in the currency of the country where the sales were made on which the royalty was based, to the credit and account of UTRF or its nominee in any commercial bank or trust company of its choice located in that c ountry, prompt notice of which shall be given by LICENSEE to UTRF.

5.7 Event of Default: LICENSEE's failure to make any payment at the time, in the manner, and in the amount that is required by Article 5 of this Agreement, shall constitute an event of default and UTRF shall have the option to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article 14 of this Agreement.

LICENSEE shall continue to be obligated to pay (i) Running Royalties on account of Licensed Product sold in any country for which the Term shall not have expired ; and (ii) Sublicense Royalties on Sublicense Revenue generated under any Sublic ense that includes a grant of rights in any country for which the Term shall not have expired; and (iii) the Annual Maintenance Fee for as long as there is at least one country for which the Term shall not have expired.

14.2 Failure to Carry on LICENSEE's Business: If LICENSEE shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be insolvent or is dissolved or declared bankrupt or is placed in receivership pursuant to proceedings directed against LICENSEE declare bankruptcy or insolvency, this Agreement shall terminate immediately, unless UTRF, after being informed of the same, elects to the contrary.

14.3 LICENSEE's Failure to Make Payment: Should LICENSEE fail to pay UTRF any payment due and payable under this Agreement, UTRF shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days' notice, unless LICENSEE pays UTRF, within thirty (30) days after LICENSEE's receipt of such notice, all such overdue payments along with interest due and payable. Upon the expiration of the 30-day period, if LICENSEE shall not have paid all such payments along with interest due and payable, the rights, privileges and License granted hereunder shall terminate.

14.4 LICENSEE's Material Breach: Upon any material breach or default of this Agreement by LICENSEE, other than those occurrences set out in Articles 14.2 and 14.2 above, which shall always take precedence in that order over any material breach or default referred to in this Article 14.3, LICENSEE shall have thirty (30) days after the receiving of written notice of such default by UTRF to correct such default. If such default is not corrected within the said thirty (30) day period, UTRF shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Agreement. The failure of UTRF to exercise such right of termination for non-payment of royalties or otherwise shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right UTRF might have, nor shall such failure preclude UTRF from exercising or enforcing said right upon any subsequent breach or default by LICENSEE.

14.5 Multiple Failures by LICENSEE to Make Payment: UTRF may also terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of the third separate failure by LICENSEE within any consecutive three-year period for failure to make any payment under this Agreement when due, regardless of LICENSEE's compliance with Article 14.3 above.

14.6 LICENSEE's Right to Terminate: LICENSEE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement:

(a) On thirty (30) days' written notice in the event that UTRF is in material breach or default of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach or default within thirty (30) days after UTRF's receipt of such notice; or

(b) At any time on six (6) months' written notice to UTRF provided that LICENSEE has paid all amounts due UTRF through the effective date of the termination.

14.7 Surviving Obligations: Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, nothing herein shall be construed to release either party from any obligation that matured prior to the effective date of such termination. In addition, if the Agreement has been terminated for a reason other than breach on the part of LICENSEE, then LICENSEE (and any Sublicensee not then in default) may, after the effective date of such termination, sell all Licensed Products and complete Licensed Products in the process of manufacture at the time of such termination and sell the same, provided that LICENSEE shall pay to UTRF the royalties thereon as required by Article 5 of this Agreement and shall submit the reports required by Article 6 on the sales of Licensed Products. All provisions of this Agreement that are, by their nature, intended to survive expiration or termination of this Agreement (whether or in whole or as to a particular country or countries) shall so survive, including, witho ut limitation, Articles 1, 5, 6, 7.2, 8.5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14.7, 14.8, 15, 16, 17, and 18.

14.8 Effect on Sublicensees: Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, any Sublicensee not then in default shall have the right to seek a license from UTRF.
