individual ("Xxxxxx") and Xxxxxx Xxxxx, an individual ("Xxxxx").
BACKGROUND
The respective Boards of Directors of Magellan and True Fiction have each
approved, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the share exchange between Magellan and True Fiction whereby each
issued and outstanding share of common stock of True Fiction will be exchanged
for shares of Common Stock to be issued by Magellan as set forth in Article 1
and by which True Fiction shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magellan.
Xxxxxx and Xxxxx each owns 500 shares of Common Stock of True Fiction which
represents 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of True Fiction. As
part of this Agreement, Xxxxxx and Xxxxx have agreed to deliver to Magellan, all
of the True Fiction shares owned by them upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
In consideration of the respective representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement, Magellan and True Fiction and Magellan
and Xxxxxx and Xxxxx hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE
1.01 THE SHARE EXCHANGE. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
hereof, True Fiction shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magellan upon the
Effective Time of this Agreement subject to the conditions set forth in Article
VII.
1.02 EFFECTIVE TIME. This Agreement shall become effective at such
time ("Effective Time") as the conditions set forth in Article VII are satisfied
or waived, if permissible.
1.03 SHARES. At or prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of this
Agreement, the following events shall occur.
a) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock of True Fiction shall
be assigned, transferred and conveyed to Magellan.
b) In exchange thereof, Magellan shall issue from its treasury 6,000,000
shares of its common stock ("Common Stock") which shall be issued 3,000,000
shares to Xxxxxx, and 3,000,000 shares to Xxxxx.
113
1.04 PRIVATE PLACEMENT.
a) The Common Stock issued to True Fiction's shareholders have not been and
will not be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or
the securities commission of any state, pursuant to an exemption from
registration by virtue of Magellan's intended compliance with the provisions of
Section 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities
Act"), and the Common Stock will be made available only to "accredited
investors" or True Fiction's shareholders who have used a "Purchaser
representative", as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. Such exemption limits the number and types of investors to
which the offering of Common Stock may be made and restricts subsequent
transfers of the Common Stock so offered which also may be restricted by state
securities laws. The Common Stock may not be resold or otherwise disposed of by
True Fiction's shareholders unless, in the opinion of counsel to Magellan,
registration under federal and applicable state securities laws is not required
or compliance is made with the registration requirements of such laws.
b) In the event Magellan files a registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933 for the public offering of its securities within thirty-six (36)
months from the Effective Time of this Agreement, each of True Fiction's
shareholders shall be entitled to certain incidental or "piggyback"

Effective Time, Magellan and the True Fiction shareholders shall enter into a
Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.04 (b).

a) (i) After the Effective Time, Magellan shall, to the fullest extent

(individually, an "Indemnified Party" and, collectively, the "Indemnified
Parties") against all losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities arising
out of actions or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time
(including, without limitation, acts or omissions relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (collectively "Losses")). In connection with the
foregoing obligations from and after the Effective Time, Magellan shall bear the
cost of expenses incurred in defending against any claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation arising out of any alleged acts or omissions
occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, acts
or omissions relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), as
incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. All rights to
indemnification, including provisions relating to advances, expenses and
exculpation of director liability, existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties
as provided in Magellan's or True Fiction's Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws, as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, with respect to matters
occurring through the Effective Time, will survive the Effective Time and will
continue in full force and effect.
(ii) Any Indemnified Party will promptly notify Magellan of any claim,
action, suit, proceeding or investigation for which such party may seek
indemnification under this Section (a "Third Party Claim"). In the event of any
such Third Party Claim, (x) within twenty (20) days of receipt of such notice,
Magellan will have the right to assume the defense thereof, and Magellan will
not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other
counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred thereafter by such
Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that all
Indemnified Parties (as a group) will have the right to retain one separate
counsel, acceptable to such Indemnified Parties, as the expense of the
Indemnifying Party if the named parties to any such proceeding include both the
Indemnified Party and Magellan and the representation of such parties by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest between them,
and each Indemnified Party will have the right to retain a separate counsel,
acceptable to such Indemnified Party, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party,
if representation of such Indemnified Party and the other Indemnified Parties
as a group would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest between them and
(y) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter.
If Magellan fails to take action within twenty (20) days as set forth in (x)
above, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, compromise or
defend any Third Party Claim and to assert the amount of any payment on the
Third Party Claim plus the expense of defense or settlement as a Loss. Magellan
will not be liable for any settlement affected without its prior written
consent, unless it has failed to take action within the twenty (20) day period
after receipt of notice as set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Magellan will not have any obligation under this Section 5.04 to indemnify an
Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction ultimately
determines and such determination becomes final, that the indemnification of
such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by
applicable law.
b) Magellan shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Parties in enforcing
the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 6.04.
c) The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to
any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the Articles of
Incorporation or by laws of Magellan, under the Nevada Statute or otherwise.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the consummation of the Effective
Time and expressly are intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Parties and
will be binding on all successors and assigns of Magellan.
6.05 FURTHER ACTION. Each party hereto shall, subject to the fulfillment at
or before the Effective Time of each of the conditions of performance set forth
herein or the waiver thereof, perform such further acts and execute such
documents as may be reasonably required to effect the Effective Time.
118
6.06 EXPENSES. Whether or not the Effective Time is consummated, except as
provided in Section 8.02 hereof or as provided otherwise herein, all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.
6.07 PUBLICITY. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall
be a joint press release and thereafter True Fiction and Magellan shall, subject
to their respective legal obligations (including requirements of the OTC
Bulletin Board stock exchanges and other similar regulatory bodies), consult
with each other, and use reasonable efforts to agree upon the text of any press
release, before issuing any such press release or otherwise making public
statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and in making
any filings with any federal or state governmental or regulatory agency or with
OTC Bulletin Board, or any national securities exchange with respect thereto.

8.03 AMENDMENT. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement

9.01 NONSURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS. All
representations, warranties and agreements in this Agreement or in any
instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be only
conditions to the Effective Time and shall not survive the Effective Time,
provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Section
1.04, and in this Article IX shall survive the Effective Time.
9.02 ASSIGNMENT, BINDING EFFECT; BENEFIT; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Neither this
Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise)
without the prior written consent of the other parties except that Magellan

Agreement to a subsidiary company wholly owned by Magellan. Subject to the
preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in
120
this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other
than the parties hereto or their respective heirs, successors, executors,
administrators and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities
under or by reason of this Agreement. This Agreement and any documents

Agreement or otherwise affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the
terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any
provision, clause, section or part of this Agreement is so broad as to be
unenforceable, the provision, clause, section or part shall be interpreted to be
only so broad as is enforceable, and all other provisions, clauses, sections or
parts of this Agreement which can be effective without such unenforceable
provision, clause, section or part shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and
effect.
