Section 1 Registrants Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
In October 2009 Pacific WebWorks made an offer to purchase from its landlord, SRX International, Inc., the office building that currently houses our principal offices and a second commercial building. We offered to purchase the commercial properties for $1.85 million. SRX International accepted the offer with the understanding that the transaction would be completed within the calendar year of 2009. We closed this transaction on December 29, 2009. Both buildings sit on approximately 0.82 acres of land located in the central business district of Salt Lake City, Utah. We currently occupy one-half of the available 16,000 square feet of our office building located at 230 West 400 South. The second commercial building adjoins the property located at 244 West 400 South. The 3,000 square foot retail commercial building, which is currently unoccupied, may provide additional space for our future growth.
Section 2 Financial Information
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On December 29, 2009, Pacific WebWorks completed the acquisition of two commercial buildings and property for the purchase price of $1.85 million, as discussed above in Item 1.01.

Item 8.01 Other Events
Legal Proceedings
During November 2009 three lawsuits were filed against Pacific WebWorks in various jurisdictions. The legal actions allege similar claims related to procedures we use to sell our products in our ordinary course of business. On November 9, 2009, Barbara Ford filed an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division. A second action was filed on November 12, 2009, by Deanna Pelletier in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Solano. A third action was filed by Lisa Rasmussen on November 20, 2009, in the Superior Court of Washington, Snohomish County. All three plaintiffs are being represented by the same legal firm and each complaint seeks class action certification. The complaints allege that Pacific WebWorks committed fraud and used deceptive trade practices in relation to the manner in which Pacific WebWorks charges purchases of its products. Each action seeks compensatory and punitive damages, plus reasonable costs and attorney fees. In response to these actions, Pacific WebWorks retained the law firm of Snell and Wilmer as legal counsel to vigorously defend the company in these lawsuits.
