  (e)  On January 12, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved five executive level managers (Michael Nouri, President and Chief Executive Officer; Tom Furr, Chief Operating Officer; Henry Nouri, Executive Vice President; Jose Collazo, Vice President of Development; and Anil Kamath, Chief Technology Officer) modifying their compensation, each reducing their 2007 annual base salary to $100,000.  In consideration for these modifications, the employees have agreed to a performance based aggregate quarterly bonus.  The aggregate bonus will be ten percent (10%) of any "Free Cash Flow" which will be divided equally among these five officers (i.e., 2% of Free Cash Flow each).  For these purposes, "Free Cash Flow" is defined as the Company&#x2019;s total revenue, less operating expenses (with non-cash items added back), less principal debt payments.  The aggregate savings from these modifications, including payroll tax effects and without taking any potential bonus into account, will be approximately $260,000 annually.

  (2) The information contained in Item 3.02 is hereby incorporated by reference.
  Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
  As incentive to modify the Letter of Credit (as defined in Item 8.01(a), below), Smart Online entered into a "Stock Purchase Warrant and Agreement" (the "Warrant Agreement") with Atlas Capital, S.A.

Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, Atlas receives a warrant to purchase up to 444,444 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.70 per share at the termination of the line of credit or if the Company is in default under the terms of the line of credit with Wachovia, N.A. If the warrant is exercised in full, it will result in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1,200,000.
  The warrant granted under this transaction was granted in reliance upon the exemption afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The issuance is to an accredited investor (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) that is acquiring the warrants and shares to be issued upon conversion of the warrant for investment purposes only.
  Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
