Plan And Agreement Of Reorganization
This Plan and Agreement of Reorganization (“Agreement”) is entered into on this 21st day of November, 2008 by and between Mach One Corporation,
a Nevada corporation (“Mach One”), and Pacific Rim Foods, Ltd., a Republic of Mauritius corporation (“Pacific Rim”), and those persons
listed in Exhibit A hereto, being all of the shareholders of Pacific Rim who own individually at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding stock of Pacific Rim and together hold over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding stock of
Pacific Rim as of the date this Agreement is executed.
Plan Of Reorganization
The transaction contemplated by this Agreement (“the Exchange Transaction”) is intended to be an exchange of stock reorganization. Mach One will acquire up to 100% of
Pacific Rim’s issued and outstanding common stock, (no par value) in exchange for up to 28,000,000 shares of Mach One’s common stock, $.001 par value, subject to adjustment, (the “Exchange Stock”) and up to $1,500,000 5 year Zero Coupon Convertible Promissory Notes (the
“Exchange Notes”) (collectively the “Exchange Securities”). Upon the consummation of the Exchange Transaction and the issuance and transfer of the Exchange Securities as set forth in Section 2 below, Pacific Rim Shareholders will hold approximately thirty three (33%) percent of the then-outstanding common stock of
Mach One. The Exchange Transaction will result in Pacific Rim becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mach One.
Agreement
Section 1
Transfer of Shares
1.1 All shareholders of Pacific Rim (the “Shareholders” or the “Pacific Rim Shareholders”), as of the date of Closing as such term is defined in Section 4 herein (the “Closing” or the “Closing Date”), shall transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Mach One on the Closing Date, certificates representing one hundred percent (100%) of the Pacific Rim Stock or such lesser percentage as shall be acceptable to Mach One, but in no event less than sixty percent (60%) of the Pacific Rim Stock, with an amount equal to no less than an additional forty (40%) of the Pacific Rim Stock being tendered within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, it being the intention of the parties that Mach One ultimately hold no less than one hundred (100%) of the Pacific Rim Stock. To the extent that less than 100% of the Pacific Rim Stock is acquired, the number of Exchange Securities issuable to those Pacific Rim Shareholders who elected to participate in the Exchange Transaction shall decrease proportionately. The transfer of the Pacific Rim Stock shall be made free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, encumbrances or charges, whether disclosed or undisclosed, except as the Pacific Rim Shareholders and Mach One shall have otherwise agreed in writing.

Section 2
Issuance of Exchange Securities to Pacific Rim Shareholders
2.1 As consideration for the transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Pacific Rim Stock hereunder, Mach One shall, at the Closing issue to the Pacific Rim Shareholders, pro rata in accordance with each Shareholder’s percentage ownership of Pacific Rim immediately prior to the Closing, certificates representing 28,000,000 shares of Mach One Common Stock, subject to adjustment, and $1,500,000 5 Year Zero Coupon Convertible Promissory Notes. The parties intend that the Exchange Shares and Exchange Notes being issued will be used to acquire all outstanding Pacific Rim Shares. To the extent that less than 100% of the Pacific Rim Stock is acquired, the number and amount of Securities issuable to those Pacific Rim Shareholders who have elected to participate in the exchange described in this Agreement (the “Exchange”) shall decrease proportionately. No fractional shares of Mach One common stock shall be issued. Each fractional share shall be rounded up to a whole share of Mach One common stock.
2.2 The issuance of the Exchange Stock shall be made free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, encumbrances or charges, whether disclosed or undisclosed, except as the Pacific Rim Shareholders and Mach One shall have otherwise agreed in writing. As provided herein, and immediately prior to the Closing, Mach One shall have issued and outstanding: (i) not more than 87,500,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) not more than 2,940,000 shares of Preferred Stock and (iii) except as set forth in Section 6.1(b) no other securities issued and outstanding.
2.3 In the event that as a result of the conversion of the Mach One Preferred Stock, the issued and outstanding Mach One Common Stock should exceed 100,000,000 shares, the Exchange Shares held by the Pacific Rim Shareholders, shall be proportionately increased to maintain, when combined with the potential shares to be issued upon conversion of the Exchange Notes, an ownership interest in Mach One of not less then thirty-five percent (35%).
2.4 None of the Exchange Stock issued to the Pacific Rim Shareholders, nor any of the Pacific Rim Stock transferred to Mach One hereunder shall, at the time of Closing, be registered under federal securities laws but, rather, shall be issued pursuant to an exemption thereunder and be considered “restricted stock” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). All of such securities shall bear a legend worded substantially as follows:
“The securities represented by this certificate and/or promissory note have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and are ‘restricted securities’ as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of which is
to be established to the satisfaction of the Company.”
The respective transfer agents of Mach One and Pacific Rim shall annotate their records to reflect the restrictions on transfer embodied in the legend set
forth above. There shall be no requirement that Mach One register the Exchange Stock under the Act.
