EXHIBIT A
TO THE
ARTICLES OF SHARE EXCHANGE
PLAN OF SHARE EXCHANGE
This Plan of Exchange is submitted in accordance with RCW 23B.11.020, and summarizes the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange and the Share Exchange Agreement, as amended and executed by and among the shareholders of Copyright Control Services, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("CCS"), and Sunhawk.com Corporation, a Washington corporation ("Sunhawk"). This Plan of Share Exchange, however, may not contain all the information that is important to you. The Share Exchange Agreement, as amended, is attached to the proxy statement dated August 25, 2000, as Annex A, and Sunhawk recommends that you read it carefully. The Share Exchange Agreement and this Plan of Exchange have been reviewed by Sunhawk's board of directors, and the board of directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders approve this Plan of Exchange.
At the effective time of the share exchange, each share of CCS common stock and preferred stock shall automatically be exchanged for a certain number of shares of Sunhawk.com common stock and Class A Common Stock.
The ratio for the share exchange shall be such that all shares of CCS common stock and preferred stock will be exchanged for a total of 1,500,000 shares of Sunhawk common stock and 450,938 warrants to purchase Sunhawk.com common stock at a price per share of $0.0001.
At closing all the CCS stockholders shall receive, on a pro rata basis, 750,000 of the total 1,500,000 shares to be exchanged and 75,000 of the 450,938 warrants subject to a holdback of 100,000 shares. The balance, 750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 375,938 warrants, shall be placed in escrow at closing. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the pro rata distribution of the shares of common stock or Class A Common Stock or warrants to be issued at closing. The shares and warrants that are held in escrow shall not be released until certain milestones, as described in the Services Agreement and set forth on EXHIBIT A, have been reached. If the milestones are reached on or before the expiration of specific deadlines, that number of Class A Common Shares and warrants associated with the satisfaction of the milestone set forth on EXHIBIT A shall be released to the CCS stockholders on a pro rata basis. If the milestones described in the Services Agreement are not reached prior to the expiration of the specific deadlines, the Class A Common Shares associated with the satisfaction of the milestone set forth on EXHIBIT A shall be returned to Sunhawk and retired as treasury stock and the warrants shall expire.
In accordance with the above, Sunhawk shall place 1,125,938 shares of Class A Common Shares in escrow. This class of shares currently does not exist and the Sunhawk stockholders must approve the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to create them. The Class A Common Shares shall have all the characteristics of common stock, except that:
2
The Share Exchange Agreement, as amended, provides that Sunhawk has the option to adopt and assume the CCS 1999 Stock Option Plan. If Sunhawk adopts and assumes the plan, the options therein shall convert into options to purchase Sunhawk shares in accordance with exchange ratio described above and shall continue to vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in the CCS 1999 Stock Option Plan. If Sunhawk does not elect to adopt and assume the CCS 1999 Stock Option Plan, all options in that plan shall vest immediately prior to closing.
In order to protect Sunhawk and the Sunhawk stockholders from CCS liabilities in excess of those disclosed in the Share Exchange Agreement as amended, calls for a holdback of 100,000 of the 750,000 Sunhawk common stock shares to be delivered to the CCS stockholders on the effective date. The 100,000 shares will be held in escrow while a post-closing audit of CCS' books and records is performed. Any liabilities found that were not disclosed prior to the closing will be paid out of the shares being held back. The number of shares that will be used to offset the excess liabilities will be that whole number of shares which product, when multiplied by the price per share at closing, equals or exceeds the excess liabilities. If no excess liabilities are found within 120 days of the closing, the shares subject shall be delivered to the CCS stockholders.
