We completed the first-tranche of the private placement on December 16, 2005, when we sold a total of 2,000,003 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase a total of 700,000 shares of our common stock to investors.

ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES
Introduction
     On December 16, 2005, we completed the first-tranche of a two-tranche sale of our securities to investors in a private placement pursuant to purchase agreements, dated December 15, 2005, by and among us and the investors of our common stock named therein (the “Purchase Agreements”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, we agreed to sell up to an aggregate of 2,857,146 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $5.25 and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Private Placement”) at an exercise price of $6.30 (subject to adjustment) with total gross proceeds (before fees and expenses) to us of approximately $15 million and net proceeds to us of approximately $13.8 million.
     The sale and issuance of our common stock has been structured to close in two tranches. The first closing was completed on December 16, 2005, pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 2,000,003 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 700,000 shares of our common stock (the “First Closing”). In the second closing, which is expected to occur on the twentieth calendar day after this Information Statement is sent to our shareholders, we expect to sell an additional 857,143 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock (the “Second Closing”). In this Information Statement, we refer to the common stock and warrants to be issued at the Second Closing as the “Securities.”
     The investors have deposited an aggregate of $4.5 million, representing the consideration to be paid for the Securities to be issued at the Second Closing, in an escrow fund, which will be released to us at the Second Closing. We expect to receive gross proceeds (before fees and expenses) of approximately $4.5 million and net proceeds to us of approximately $4.1 million at the Second Closing.
     In connection with the Private Placement, the Majority Shareholders, who hold in excess of 50% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, have executed their written consent approving the issuance and sale of the Securities at the Second Closing. The shareholder approval of the issuance of the Securities at the Second Closing includes approval of additional shares that may become issuable as a result of the anti-dilution provisions in the warrants.
     THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS NEITHER AN OFFER TO SELL NOR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY ANY SECURITIES OF OUR COMPANY. THE SECURITIES REFERRED TO IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE BY US UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SO OFFERED OR SOLD ABSENT SUCH REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS THEREOF.
     The investors in the Private Placement consist of a limited number of accredited investors, and the sale of our common stock and warrants will be made in reliance on Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, which offers exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. Roth Capital Partners, LLC is serving as the placement agent for us in connection with the Private Placement.
Reason for Shareholder Approval
     We are subject to the rules of the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) because our common stock is listed on the AMEX. These rules require us to obtain shareholder approval for any issuance or sale of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, that is (i) equal to 20% or more of our outstanding common stock before such issuance or sale and (ii) at a price per share below the greater of book or market value at the time of such issuance or sale. Because the warrants will not be exercisable until six months after they are issued and the exercise price of the warrants is equal to or greater than the market value on the date the Purchase Agreements were entered into, the warrants do not need to be included in the calculation of the 20%. The AMEX rules apply to the Second Closing because:
    the shares of common stock that we issued and sold at the First Closing comprised approximately 19.6% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Closing. The

2


Table of Contents

      shares of common stock we intend to issue and sell at the Second Closing, together with the shares issued and sold in the First Closing, will comprise approximately 28% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Closing and approximately 21.9% of the outstanding shares immediately after the Second Closing, and
    the purchase price of the common stock we issued and sold at the First Closing and intend to issue and sell at the Second Closing will be at $5.25 per share, which is below $5.60 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the AMEX on December 15, 2005, the last day our common stock traded on the AMEX before the Purchase Agreements were entered into.
     For the above reasons, we are required under the AMEX rules to obtain shareholder approval prior to issuing and selling the Securities at the Second Closing. We were not required to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance and sale of the shares of common stock and warrants issued at the First Closing.
Effects of the Private Placement
     The Private Placement will result in a significant increase in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, and, as a result, current shareholders who are not participating in the Private Placement would own a smaller percentage of our outstanding common stock and, accordingly, a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and book value of our company. The sale or resale of any of our common stock issued pursuant to the Private Placement could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
     Our shareholders will incur dilution of their percentage of stock ownership in us if the Second Closing occurs. Immediately following the First Closing, 12,186,380 shares of our common stock were outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of 2,000,003 shares of our common stock at the First Closing. If the Second Closing occurs (assuming no issuance of any shares between the First Closing and the Second Closing), a total of 13,043,523 shares of our common stock will be outstanding. Further, upon exercise of the warrants, an additional 1,000,000 shares will be outstanding, which will cause further dilution. In addition, the warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions that if triggered, would cause a decrease in the exercise price of the warrants and would result in more shares of common stock being issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The shareholder approval of the issuance of the Securities at the Second Closing includes approval of the additional shares that may become issuable as a result of the anti-dilution provisions in the warrants.
Reasons for the Private Placement
     On February 8, 2005, we closed a transaction with Coconut Palm Capital Investors II, Ltd. (“Coconut Palm”), which we entered into on November 17, 2004. Coconut Palm purchased from us 5,000,000 Units for an aggregate purchase price of $25 million. Each Unit consisted of (i) one share of our common stock, (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share with a term of three years and (iii) one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share with a term of five years. In connection with the investment by Coconut Palm, we formed a new Lawn and Pest Control Services Division for future acquisitions.
     The Lawn and Pest Control Services Division acquired its first company on June 7, 2005, through the acquisition by our subsidiary, Sunair Southeast Pest Holdings, Inc., of all of the outstanding capital stock of Middleton Pest Control, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Middleton”). The aggregate purchase price for the outstanding capital stock of Middleton was $50 million, which was comprised of: (i) $35.0 million in cash; (ii) $5.0 million in the form of a subordinated promissory note; and (iii)1,028,807 shares of our common stock.
     We plan to use the proceeds from the sale of our common stock in the Private Placement and the exercise of the warrants, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes and additional acquisitions in the Lawn and Pest Control Services Division. We plan initially to focus on acquisitions in the southeastern United States including Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida, but will consider additional “super regional” acquisitions in other geographic areas. Ultimately, we anticipate that with the growth of our new Lawn and Pest Control Services Division, we no longer will operate solely through our traditional business segment. Furthermore, as we are able to grow our Lawn and Pest Control Services Division through acquisitions and, eventually through internal organic growth, we contemplate that this new division will become our dominant operation. Accordingly, if we are successful in implementing this strategy, it will represent a fundamental shift in the nature of our business.

Table of Contents

     Our board of directors has determined that obtaining additional funds pursuant to the Private Placement is critical to our company’s ability to execute on its current business plan to grow the new Lawn and Pest Control Services Division through acquisitions of companies in the lawn and pest control services sector and through internal growth. However, because of the restrictions of AMEX rules, we are limited in the amount we may raise through the private sale of our equity securities without obtaining shareholder approval. If the conditions to the Second Closing of the Private Placement are satisfied, we will raise up to $15 million in the Private Placement, including approximately $4.5 million in gross proceeds at the Second Closing.
Summary of the Purchase Agreements
     The material terms of the Purchase Agreements are summarized below. A copy of the form of Purchase Agreement was filed by us as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 21, 2005, and is attached to this Information Statement as Annex A. You are encouraged to review the full text of the form of Purchase Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed terms set forth in the Purchase Agreements.

     Preemptive Rights
     Each of the investors in the Private Placement has been granted a preemptive right to purchase its pro rata share of certain equity securities that we may issue for a period of two years from the date of the Purchase Agreements. The investors will have the right to purchase the lesser of:
    the number of shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock in the new financing that could be purchased for the aggregate purchase price paid for the shares of common stock and warrants in the Private Placement; or
 
    20% of the number of shares of common stock and securities convertible into common stock issued in the new financing.
     These preemptive rights do not apply to certain types of offerings (the “Excluded Securities”), including the following:
    securities issued to strategic investors of ours;
 
    shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options under our employee stock option plan or other employee, board, or consultant incentive plans or agreements approved by our board of directors or a compensation committee of our board of directors;
 
    securities issued upon the conversion of convertible securities outstanding as of the applicable closing date; and
 
    common stock issued in connection with any business combination.
     Registration Rights
     Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, we agreed to use our best efforts to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) for the resale of the shares of our common stock and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreements (the “Registrable Shares”) within 5 days following the Second Closing, but in no event later than 45 days following the First Closing, and to use our best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 45 days following the Second Closing or within 75 days following the Second Closing if the Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC. We also agreed to make such filings as necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective until such time as the Registrable Shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k), or two years after the effective date of the Registration Statement.
     We are entitled to suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for no more than 30 days on two occasions in any 12 month period. In the event we fail to cause the Registration Statement to be timely filed, timely declared effective, or to be kept effective (other than pursuant to the permissible suspension periods), we agreed to pay as liquidated damages the amount of 0.0667% per day of the aggregate amount invested by each investor in the Private Placement.
Summary of the Warrants
     The material terms of the warrants are summarized below. A copy of the form of warrant was filed by us as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on December 21, 2005, and is attached to this Information Statement as Annex B. You are encouraged to review the full text of the form of warrant. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed terms set forth in the warrant.
     Exercise Period
     Each of the warrants to be issued in the Private Placement will be exercisable beginning six months from the date of issuance and will have a term of five years.

Table of Contents

     Exercise Price, Adjustment to Exercise Price and Number of Shares
     The exercise price of the warrants is initially $6.30 per share. The exercise price of and the number of shares issuable under the warrants are subject to customary adjustments in certain events, including reclassification of our securities, certain mergers, consolidations, sales of substantially all of our assets, subdivision or combination of our shares, stock dividends and other distributions by us. In addition, the exercise price will be reduced, and the number of shares issuable under the warrants will be increased, if, at any time prior to the one year anniversary of the date of issuance, we issue or sell shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into our common stock (other than Excluded Securities), at a price less than the exercise price in effect at the time of the issuance or sale.
     Further, if, at any time after the one year anniversary of the date of issuance, we issue or sell shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into our common stock (other than Excluded Securities), at a price less than the exercise price in effect at the time of issuance or sale, then the exercise price shall be reduced subject to an adjusted weighted-average exercise price calculated by dividing (i) the product of the outstanding shares of common stock times the current exercise price plus the aggregate consideration received for the additional securities, by (ii) the product of the outstanding shares of common stock plus the amount of additional securities.
     In no event shall the adjusted exercise price be (1) greater than the original exercise price or (2) less than $5.60, which was the market price of our common stock on the date of the Purchase Agreements, until the shareholder consent approving the issuance of the Securities becomes effective.

ANNEX A
FORM OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT
PURCHASE AGREEMENT

(ii) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1.
               (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which the Purchaser or any Purchaser/Affiliate may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the prior written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any information deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rule 434, of the Rules and Regulations, or the Prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Regulations, or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any of them, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations or warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or under law, and will promptly reimburse the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or any Purchaser/Affiliate in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein, or (ii) the failure of the Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5 or 7.2, or (iii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser herein or (iv) any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser.
               (b) The Purchaser will severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its executive officers, including such officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the

meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate for all indemnification obligations arising pursuant to Section 7.3(b) the net proceeds received by the Purchaser from sales of Shares under the Registration Statement, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure of the Purchaser to comply with its covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5 or 7.2 hereof, or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action.
               (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.3 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such

A- 23


Table of Contents

indemnified party under this Section 7.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
               (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.3 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the private placement of the Securities to the Purchaser hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Registration Statement which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall only be required to contribute an amount up to the net proceeds received by the Purchaser from sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement. The respective relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by the Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by the Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount the Purchaser paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by the Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c)

A- 24


Table of Contents

of this Section 7.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchaser’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 7.3 is several and not joint.
          7.4 Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The restrictions imposed by Section 5 or this Section 7 upon the transferability of the Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Securities upon the passage of two years from the effective date of the Registration Statement covering the Securities or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.
          7.5 Information Available. So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of the Shares owned by the Purchaser, the Company will furnish to the Purchaser:
               (a) as soon as practicable after available (but in the case of the Annual Report to the Stockholders, within 150 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company), one copy of (i) its Annual Report to Stockholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a national firm of certified public accountants), (ii) if not included in substance in the Annual Report to Stockholders, upon the request of Purchaser, its Annual Report on Form 10-K, (iii) upon request of Purchaser, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and (iv) a full copy of the particular Registration Statement covering the Shares (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);
               (b) upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, a reasonable number of copies of the Prospectuses, and any supplements thereto, to supply to any other party requiring such Prospectuses; and
               (c) the Company, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser and with prior notice, will be available to the Purchaser or a representative thereof at the Company’s headquarters to discuss information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Shares and will otherwise cooperate with the Purchaser conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the Purchaser’s exposure to liability under the

A- 25

Securities Act, including the reasonable production of information at the Company’s headquarters, subject to appropriate confidentiality limitations.
          7.6 Delay in Filing or Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If (i) the Registration Statement is not filed by the Company with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Date, then for each day following the Filing Date, until but excluding the date the Registration Statement is filed, or (ii) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the Required Effective Date, then for each day following the Required Effective Date, until but excluding the date the Commission declares the Registration Statement effective, in each case, the Company shall, for each such day, pay the Purchaser with respect to any such failure, as partial damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 0.0667% of the purchase price paid by the Purchaser for the Securities pursuant to this Agreement; and for any such day, such payment shall be made no later than the first business day of the calendar month next succeeding the month in which such day occurs. If the Purchaser shall be prohibited from selling any of the Shares under the Registration Statement as a result of a Suspension of more than thirty (30) days or Suspensions on more than two (2) occasions of not more than thirty (30) days each in any 12-month period, then for each day on which a Suspension is in effect that exceeds the maximum allowed period above for a Suspension or Suspensions, but not including any day on which a Suspension is lifted, the Company shall pay the Purchaser, as partial damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 0.0667% of the purchase price paid by the Purchaser for the Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement for each such day, and such payment shall be made no later than the first business day of the calendar month next succeeding the month in which such day occurs. For purposes of this Section 7.6, a Suspension shall be deemed lifted on the date that notice that the Suspension has been lifted is delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 7.6. shall not constitute the Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for such events. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay such partial damages to more than one person in respect of the same Securities for the same period of time. Such payments shall be made to the Purchaser in cash.
     SECTION 8. Certain Adjustments. (a) Subject to Section 8(c), except with respect to the issuance of Excluded Securities (as such term is defined in the Warrant), if at any time on or before the one year anniversary of the Second Closing (the “Full Ratchet Period”), the Company shall issue or sell or agree to issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) to any person or persons for a price per share (in each case, as determined in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Warrant) less than the Strike Price (as defined below) in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale or agreement related thereto, then and in each such case (a “Trigger Issuance”), the Company shall issue without the payment of additional consideration, in connection with such Trigger Issuance, a number of additional shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser equal to difference of: (A) the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued to such Purchaser, based on such Purchaser’s purchase price of Common Stock at the Initial Closing (i.e., $5.25 per share), if the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to such Trigger Issuance was equal to the Strike Price in effect immediately after such Trigger Issuance; minus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock initially issued to such Purchaser upon payment of its purchase price (and, to the extent there has been a previous adjustment to the price per share, any Anti-Dilution Shares previously issued to such Purchaser).

A- 26


Table of Contents

          (b) Subject to Section 8(c), except with respect to the issuance of Excluded Securities, if at any time after the Full Ratchet Period, the Company shall effect a Trigger Issuance, the Company shall issue without the payment of additional consideration, in connection with such Trigger Issuance, a number of additional shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser equal to the difference of: (A) the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued to such Purchaser at each Closing that occurred under this Agreement, if the price per share for such Purchaser was equal to the product of the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to such Trigger Issuance multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Trigger Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued in the Trigger Issuance would purchase at the purchase price paid by the Purchaser at the Initial Closing (i.e., $5.25), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Trigger Issuance plus the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued; minus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock initially issued to such Purchaser upon payment of its purchase price (and, to the extent there has been a previous adjustment to the price per share, any Anti-Dilution Shares previously issued to such Purchaser).
          (c) The provisions of this Section 8(c) shall be applicable to Sections 8(a) and 8(b) and to Section 9. The price per share at which the Company issues or sells or agrees to issue or sell shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 of the Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of Common Stock Equivalents (and not the actual conversion or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalent into shares of Common Stock) is the event that gives rise to the issuance of Anti-Dilution Shares pursuant to this Section 8. Promptly following the occurrence of any event giving rise to the issuance of any Anti-Dilution Shares (but in no event more than four (4) business days thereafter), the Company shall issue irrevocable instructions authorizing its transfer agent to issue such Anti-Dilution Shares to the Purchaser. Without further action or deed, automatically after each Trigger Issuance, the Strike Price shall be reset to the per share price at which the Common Stock, or the Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Equivalents, was issued in the Trigger Issuance; as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 of the Warrant. The “Strike Price” shall initially be equal to $5.25, and shall be re-set from time to time in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence upon each Trigger Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 8(a) and 8(b) and Section 9 shall not apply to the issuance of Excluded Securities.
     SECTION 9. Participation Right on Future Financings.
          (a) Notice of Proposed Issuance. Except with respect to the issuance of Excluded Securities or Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents to Strategic Investors (as defined below) of the Company, in the event that the Company proposes to issue any (i) shares of Common Stock, (ii) warrants, options or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or (iii) any notes, debentures or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Common Stock Equivalents”), the Company will deliver to the Purchaser a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) prior to effecting any such issuance (the “New Issuance”), offering to such Purchaser the right, for a period of ten (10)

A- 27


Table of Contents

days, to purchase for cash at an amount equal to the price or other consideration for which such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are to be issued, on a pro rata basis with all other purchasers of Securities at the Initial Closing who then own such Securities (each, a “Recipient”), a number of shares of such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares to be issued in such New Issuance equal to the number of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be, that could be purchased for the aggregate purchase price paid at the Initial Closing and the Second Closing, and (ii) twenty percent (20.0%) of the number of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be, to be issued in such New Issuance. The Offer Notice shall describe the securities proposed to be issued by the Company and specify the number, price and payment terms in the New Issuance.
          (b) Right to Purchase Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.
               (i) The Purchaser may accept the Company’s offer as to the full number of securities offered to it in the Offer Notice or any lesser number, by written notice thereof (an “Exercise Notice”) given by it to the Company prior to the expiration of the aforesaid 10-day period. A delivery of an Exercise Notice (which notice shall specify the number (or amount) of Common Stock Equivalents to be purchased by the Purchaser as permitted under this Section 9) shall constitute a binding agreement of the holder to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, the number (or amount) of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents specified in the Purchaser’s Exercise Notice. If at the termination of such 10-day period the Purchaser shall not have exercised its rights to purchase Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to this Section 9, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any and all of its rights under this Section 9 with respect to that purchase of such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (such waiver shall not apply to any subsequently offered Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, if, with respect to a given New Issuance, any other Recipient elects not to exercise fully its rights or is deemed to have waived its rights, then the Company shall provide the Purchaser and each other Recipient who exercised its rights with a second Offer Notice, and the Purchaser and each other Recipient who exercised its rights may include in its Exercise Notice for such New Issuance, upon delivery to the Company of an Exercise Notice within five (5) business days after receipt by the Purchaser and each other Recipient of such second Offer Notice, an additional number (or amount) of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents equal to its pro rata share of the unexercised number (or amount) of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in such New Issuance.
               (ii) The Company shall have ninety (90) days from the date of the Offer Notice to consummate the proposed New Issuance at the price and upon substantially the same terms specified in the Offer Notice, provided that, if such issuance is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, such ninety (90) day period shall be extended until the expiration of five (5) business days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the Offer Notice. At the consummation of such New Issuance, the Company shall issue certificates representing the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to be purchased by the Purchaser registered in the name of such Purchaser, against payment by such Purchaser of the purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents specified in such Purchaser’s Exercise Notice. If

A- 28


Table of Contents

the Company proposed to issue any class of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents after such time period above, it shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 9.
               (iii) The value of any non-cash consideration to be received by the Company in any New Issuance shall be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, and shall be specified in the Offer Notice delivered in connection with any such New Issuance. If the Purchaser elects to exercise its rights under this Section 9 in connection with any New Issuance in which there is any such non-cash consideration, then, such Purchaser may elect in its Exercise Notice to tender, in lieu of tendering any such non-cash consideration, an amount in cash equal to the reasonably determined good faith value of such non-cash consideration.
          (c) Expiration of Participation Right. The participation right granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall expire on the two (2) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Section 9, the term “Strategic Investor” means (i) any person that has been resolved by a majority of a quorum of the Company’s Board of Directors to constitute a “strategic investor” on the basis of such person’s (A) existing or prospective business relationship with the Company and/or its subsidiaries; or (B) existing or anticipated ability to further the business objectives of the Company and/or its subsidiaries; or (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity that has at the time of its initial investment in the Company (A) an equity market capitalization in excess of $100 million or (B) assets in excess of $100 million.
     SECTION 10. Broker’s Fee. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company intends to pay to the Placement Agent a fee in respect of the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser. The Purchaser and the Company hereby agree that the Purchaser shall not be responsible for such fee and that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which the Purchaser or any Purchaser/Affiliate may become subject with respect to such fee. Each of the parties hereto hereby represents that, on the basis of any actions and agreements by it, there are no other brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser.
     SECTION 11. Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when received by confirmed facsimile or (iii) one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight carrier, specifying next business day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company and the Purchaser as follows or at such other addresses as the Company or the Purchaser may designate upon ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other party:

     SECTION 15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States of America.
     SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains an electronic file of an executed signature page, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or electronic file signature page (as the case may be) were an original thereof.
     SECTION 17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Purchaser makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.
     SECTION 18. Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators. This Agreement and the rights of the Purchaser hereunder may be assigned by the Purchaser with the prior written consent of the Company, except such consent shall not be required in cases of assignments by an investment adviser to a fund for which it is the adviser or by or among funds that are under common control, provided that such assignee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
     SECTION 19. Further Assurances. Each party agrees to cooperate fully with the other parties and to execute such further instruments, documents and agreements and to give such further written assurance as may be reasonably requested by any other party to evidence and reflect the transactions described herein and contemplated hereby and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.
     SECTION 20. Independent Nature of the Purchaser’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other third party purchasers of the Company’s securities, and the Purchaser shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other third party purchasers of the Company’s securities. Each of the Purchaser and the Company agree and acknowledge that (i) the decision of the Purchaser to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by the Purchaser independently of any other third party purchasers of the Company’s securities and (ii) no other third party purchasers of the Company’s securities have acted as agent for the Purchaser in connection with the Purchaser making its investment hereunder and that no such other third party purchasers will be acting as agent of the Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any other document contemplated hereby or any agreement of any such other third party purchaser, and no action taken by the Purchaser pursuant hereto or any other third party purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchaser or any such

A- 31


Table of Contents

other third party purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchaser or any such other third party purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to any matters. The Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any of the other documents contemplated hereby, and it shall not be necessary for any such other third party purchasers to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. To the extent that any such other third party purchasers purchase the same or similar securities as the Purchaser hereunder or on the same or similar terms and conditions or pursuant to the same or similar documents, all such matters are solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of the Purchaser, and would be solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchaser or any such other third party purchaser.
     SECTION 21. Termination. Purchaser may terminate this Agreement without any obligation or liability hereunder or otherwise if the Initial Closing does not occur within fifteen (15) business days after the execution of this Agreement. After the Initial Closing, Purchaser may also terminate this Agreement, but only with respect to the Second Closing and the Additional Securities to be purchased by the Purchaser, without any obligation or liability hereunder or otherwise if the Second Closing does not occur within forty-five (45) days after the Initial Closing, and in such event all applicable sections and provisions of this Agreement shall survive such termination.

WARRANT
SUNAIR SERVICES CORPORATION
     SUNAIR SERVICES CORPORATION (formerly known as Sunair Electronics, Inc.) (the “Issuer”), a Florida corporation, with offices at 3005 SW 3rd Ave., Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315-3312, for value received, hereby certifies as of                                         , 2005 (the “Issuance Date”) that                                                                                 , a                                                                                  (“Investor”), with an address for notice purposes hereunder at                                                                                                                         ,                                                                                 , or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Issuer up to                     (                    ) (as further defined below, the “Issuable Number”) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares (subject to the adjustments contained in this Warrant) of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Issuer at the purchase price per share equal to Six Dollars and Thirty Cents ($6.30) (the “Exercise Price”) at any time and from time to time on or after                     , 2006 which date which is one hundred eighty (180) days from the Issuance Date (the “Exercise Date”) and at or before 5:00 p.m., Fort Lauderdale, Florida time, on the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date (the “Termination Date”), all subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth below in this Warrant. Capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 10 hereof or elsewhere throughout this Warrant, or in that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of                                         , 2005, by and between Issuer and Investor (the “Purchase Agreement”).

1. Exercise of Warrant.
     1.1 Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the holder of this Warrant (the “Holder”) in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the Exercise Date, by facsimile, mail or overnight courier delivery of a notice in substantially the form attached to this Warrant (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by such Holder (a “Warrant Exercise Notice”). The closing of each exercise shall take place on (i) the third (3rd) Business Day following, and excluding, the date the Warrant Exercise Notice is delivered (the “Warrant Notice Date”), subject to the provisions of Section 1.4(b) hereof, (ii) at the option of the Holder, such later date as the conditions set forth in Section 1.2 have been waived or satisfied or (iii) any other date upon which the exercising Holder and the Issuer mutually agree (each, a “Warrant Closing Date”).
     (a) This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof by paying cash to Issuer in the amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is being exercised (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof) multiplied by (ii) the Exercise Price.
     (b) In lieu of payment of the Exercise Price in cash as set forth in Section 1.1(a), the Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant by specifying in the Warrant Exercise Notice that such Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant to a “broker-assisted” exercise/sale procedure pursuant to which funds to pay for exercise of the Warrant are delivered to the Issuer by a broker upon receipt of stock certificates from the Issuer through a licensed broker reasonably acceptable to the Issuer whereby the stock certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercised will be delivered by the Issuer to such broker as the agent for the Holder exercising the Warrant and the broker will deliver to the Issuer cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the Issuer) equal to the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant. The Issuer shall allow the issuance and delivery to such broker of the shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the sale of such shares by such broker and apply the sales proceeds to pay the Exercise Price notwithstanding the fact that the Issuer will not receive the cash proceeds until after the sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock, subject, in the event the Holder is an officer or director of the Issuer, to compliance with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to loans to officers and directors. Holder hereby expressly agrees to indemnify and to hold the Issuer harmless for the full amount of any loss or damage (including all reasonable trial attorneys’ and appellate attorneys’ fees including those which may be incurred in the enforcement of this indemnity) Issuer may sustain as a result of such broker failing to remit to Issuer the proceeds from the sale of such shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 1.1(b).
     1.2 Conditions to Closing. It shall be a condition of the exercising Holder’s obligation to close on each Warrant Closing Date that each of the following is satisfied, unless waived by such Holder:
     (a) all shares to be issued upon such exercise shall be freely tradable Common Stock under the Securities Act and shall be duly listed and admitted to trading on Nasdaq,

B-2


Table of Contents

the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, depending on where such shares are traded at the time the Warrant is exercised (unless the Holder expressly consents in writing to the issuance of unregistered Common Stock for a portion or all of the shares to be issued upon such exercise in which case the Issuer shall issue such unregistered Common Stock upon such request).
     (b) As of such Warrant Closing Date, the Issuer shall have notified the Holder of all Restatements. The Holder and the Issuer expressly acknowledge and agree that the issuance of a press release by the Issuer disclosing a Restatement shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy this notice requirement.
If any such condition is not satisfied or waived prior to the third (3rd) Business Day following and excluding the date the Warrant Exercise Notice is delivered, then the Holder may, at its sole option, and at any time, withdraw the Warrant Exercise Notice by written notice to the Issuer regardless of whether such condition has been satisfied or waived as of the withdrawal date and, after such withdrawal, shall have no further obligation with respect to such Warrant Exercise Notice and may submit a Warrant Exercise Notice on any future date with respect to the shares referenced in the original Warrant Exercise Notice.
     1.3 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to 5:00 p.m. (time in effect in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on such date) on the Business Day on which the Warrant Exercise Notice is delivered as provided in Section 1.1, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.4 shall be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record thereof, provided, however, that such exercise shall not be deemed effective if at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (time in effect in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on such date) on the Warrant Closing Date the Holder delivers written notice of withdrawal to the Issuer as set forth in Section 1.2.
     1.4 Delivery of Warrant and Payment. On each Warrant Closing Date, the registered Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Issuer at the address set forth for the Issuer in the introductory paragraph of this Warrant or such other address as the Issuer advises the Holder in writing and (a) shall deliver payment in cash, by wire transfer to the Issuer’s account designated by Issuer of immediately available funds or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Issuer, to the extent that the Warrant is exercised in accordance with Section 1.1(a), shall have so specified in the Warrant Exercise Notice delivered by such Holder and such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided in Sections 2 and 3 hereof, or (b) if exercising this Warrant in accordance with Section 1.1(b) above, shall have so specified in the Warrant Exercise Notice delivered by such Holder, and the Issuer shall deliver to the Holder’s broker the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided in Sections 2 and 3 hereof, following the sale of which in accordance with Section 1.1(b) above such broker shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Warrant Closing Date, deliver payment in cash, by wire transfer to the Issuer’s account designated by Issuer of immediately available funds or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Issuer, to the extent that the Warrant is exercised.

B-3


Table of Contents

     1.5 Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. On each Warrant Closing Date, the Issuer at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof or as such Holder may direct,
     (a) via facsimile and at such address specified by the Holder via a reputable overnight courier, a delivery notice in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto and one or more certificates for the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Sales Price per share on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such exercise, and
     (b) in case such exercise is in part only, at such address specified by the Holder via reputable overnight courier, a new Warrant of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares designated by the Holder in the related Warrant Exercise Notice upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.1.
2. Adjustment of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise.
     2.1 General; Warrant Price. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon each exercise hereof shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of Sections 2 and 3) be issuable upon such exercise, as designated by the Holder hereof pursuant to Section 1.1, by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price and (b) the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise. The “Warrant Price” shall initially be the Exercise Price. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted and readjusted from time to time as provided in Sections 2 and 3 hereof and, as so adjusted or readjusted, shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment thereof is required by Sections 2 and 3 hereof.
     2.2       INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
      
     2.3       INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
      
     2.4       INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
     2.5 Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In case the Issuer at any time or from time to time on or after the Issuance Date shall declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or subdivision shall, concurrently with the deemed effectiveness of such dividend or subdivision, be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to such dividend or subdivision and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock

B-4


Table of Contents

outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or subdivision (including, without limitation, all shares of Common Stock deemed issued or issuable in connection with or as a result of such dividend or subdivision notwithstanding that any such shares have not actually been issued as of the deemed effectiveness of such dividend or subdivision). For purposes hereof, such dividend or subdivision shall be deemed effective, and additional shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant thereto (a) in the case of any such dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend, or (b) in the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business on the day immediately prior to the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.
     2.6 Adjustments for Combinations, etc. In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
     2.7 Dividends and Distributions in Cash, Property or Securities other than Common Stock. In case the Issuer at any time or from time to time on or after the Issuance Date shall declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, a dividend payable in any shares, interests, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or convertible securities of the Company or any other Person) other than a dividend payable in Common Stock covered under Section 2.5 hereof, then the Warrant Price shall be reduced, effective as of the date of such distribution record date, (a) in the case of a cash distribution, by the dollar amount of the cash distribution per share of Common Stock, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.7, (b) in the case of a distribution of property other than cash, by the dollar amount of the fair market value of all the property being distributed divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such dividend record date in respect of which such property distribution is being made and (c) in the case of a distribution of securities (including, without limitation, a dividend payable in any shares, interests, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or convertible securities of the Company or any other Person) other than a dividend payable in Common Stock covered under Section 2.5 hereof, by the dollar amount of the fair market value of all such securities being distributed divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such dividend record date in respect of which such property distribution is being made. The determination of fair market value of any such property (other than cash) or securities pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be made by an independent, nationally recognized appraisal firm not affiliated with the Issuer that is regularly engaged in the business of appraising the type of property or securities, as applicable, that is the subject of such distribution, at the Issuer’s expense. If the aggregate amount of any ordinary cash distributions from retained earnings lawfully made in accordance with Section 607.06401 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (expressly excluding, without limitation, extraordinary, liquidating or partial liquidating cash distributions, by way of return of capital or otherwise) (“Ordinary Cash Distributions”) covered by this Section 2.7 shall, during any quarterly period of any calendar year (i.e. January 1 to March 31, April 1 to June 30, July 1 to September 30, or October 1 to December 31) (each, a “Quarterly Period”), total three-quarters of one percent (.75%) of the average of the Closing Sales Prices for the dividend record dates for such Ordinary Cash

B-5


Table of Contents

Distributions during such Quarterly Period (the “De Minimis Cash Distribution Amount”) or less, then such cash distributions shall not require an adjustment to the Warrant Price pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.7; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted as provided in clause (a) of this Section 2.7 by the aggregate amount of all (i) Ordinary Cash Distributions during any Quarterly Period in excess of the De Minimis Cash Distribution Amount and (ii) cash distributions other than Ordinary Cash Distributions.
     2.8 Subsequent Equity Sales.
          (a) Except as provided in Section 2.8(c) hereof, if and whenever the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with any of Sections 2.8(b)(i) through 2.8(b)(iv) hereof, deemed to have issued or sold, any Additional Shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then and in each such case (a “Trigger Issuance”) the then-existing Exercise Price, shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the effective date of the Trigger Issuance, to a price determined as follows:
               (i) if such Trigger Issuance occurs on or prior to the one year anniversary of the Issuance Date, the price of the Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the Trigger Issuance;
               (ii) if such Trigger Issuance occurs after the one year anniversary of the Issuance Date, as follows:
                    Adjusted Exercise Price = (A x B) + D
                                                                      A+C
                    where
                    “A” equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued hereunder, immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;
                    “B” equals the Exercise Price in effect immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;
                    “C” equals the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued hereunder as a result of the Trigger Issuance; and
                    “D” equals the aggregate consideration, if any, received or deemed to be received by the Company upon such Trigger Issuance;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price after giving effect to such Trigger Issuance be (i) greater than the original Exercise Price; or (ii) less than $                     (the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the Purchase Agreement), provided that the

B-6


Table of Contents

foregoing clause (ii) shall not be applicable after the Company shall have obtained the requisite Stockholder Approval.
          (b) For purposes of this Section 2.8, the following Sections 2.8(b)(i) through 2.8(b)(iv) shall also be applicable:
               (i) Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options or Convertible Securities, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8(b)(iii), no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
               (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8(b)(iii), no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the

B-7


Table of Contents

Exercise Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of Section 2.8.
               (iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in Section 2.8(b)(i) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Sections 2.8(b)(i) or 2.8(b)(ii), or the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Sections 2.8(b)(i) or 2.8(b)(ii) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this Section 2.8 or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this Section 2.8 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been issued.
               (iv) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in connection therewith, other Options or Convertible Securities (the “Additional Rights”) are issued, then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company shall be reduced by the fair market value of the Additional Rights (as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or another method mutually agreed to by the Company and the Holder). The Board of Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Holder as to the fair market value of the Additional Rights or non-cash consideration. In the event that the Holder objects to the Board of Directors’ determination of the fair market value of the Additional Rights or non-cash consideration (as the case may be), the Company and the Holder shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Holder.

Table of Contents

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 2.8 in respect of the issuance of Excluded Securities.
3. Business Combinations.
     3.1 Adjustment upon Business Combination. In case the Issuer on or after the Issuance Date is a party to (i) any acquisition of the Issuer by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Issuer are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the Acquiring Person or its Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer (on a consolidated basis) in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (iii) any other transaction or series of related transactions by the Issuer or relating to the Common Stock (including without limitation, any stock purchase or tender or exchange offer) in which the power to cast the majority of the eligible votes at a meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders at which directors are elected is transferred to a single entity or group acting in concert, or (iv) a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a reorganization or reclassification in which the Common Stock are not converted into or exchanged for cash or other property, and, immediately after consummation of such transaction, the shareholders of the Issuer immediately prior to such transaction own the Common Stock or other voting stock of the Issuer in substantially the same proportions relative to each other as such shareholders owned immediately prior to such transaction), then, and in the case of each such transaction (each of which is referred to herein as “Business Combination”), proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided herein, the Holder, upon exercise of all or any part of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of such Business Combination, shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise, the Common Stock and Other Securities, cash and property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if the Holder had exercised the Warrant immediately prior thereto (including, without limitation, any additional shares of Common Stock, Other Securities, cash and property issuable as a result of an increase in the Issuable Number occurring after the date of consummation of such Business Combination), as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or another method mutually agreed to by the Company and the Holder; provided, that if the Acquiring Person or its Parent, as the case may be, shall combine, subdivide or reclassify its common stock, or shall declare any dividend payable in shares of its common stock, or shall take any other action of a similar nature affecting such shares, the calculations above shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate, as provided in Section 2 of this Warrant, to reflect such event, including appropriate adjustments to account for any such event that occurs during any of the measurement periods set forth above.
     3.2 Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Issuer will not effect any Business Combination unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) that may be required to deliver any stock, securities, cash or property upon exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing

B-9


Table of Contents

provisions of this Section 3 and the other provisions of this Warrant, the Holder may be entitled to receive.
4. No Impairment. The Issuer will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against impairment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be assigned by the Holder to any Person; and upon the Holder’s providing written notice of such assignment to the Issuer, the Holder’s assignee shall become the registered assignee and the registered Holder of this Warrant, and the Issuer shall recognize such assignment and cause such assignment to be reflected in its books and records.
20. Restriction on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that, if exercisable by such Holder, such Holder, any of its affiliates, or any other Person which may be deemed to be acting as a group in concert with such Holder or any of its affiliates for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% (the “Applicable Percentage”) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-a-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by such Holder) and of which this Warrant shall be exercisable shall, subject to such Applicable Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Section 20 shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 20 with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability.

The provisions of this Section 20 shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms this Section 20 to correct this Section 20 (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Applicable Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Applicable Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 20 shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock of the Company shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 20 and the Company may not waive this Section 20 without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. The Holder may waive the applicability of this Section 20 upon sixty one (61) days prior written notice to the Company.
     This Warrant shall not be valid unless signed by the Issuer.
