THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of October 16, 2008 (“Effective Date”) by and between Public Media Works, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PMW”), and Promia, Incorporated, a California corporation (“Promia”), and the shareholders of Promia set forth on the signature pages to this Agreement (collectively, the “Sellers” and individually, a “Seller”), with respect to the following facts:
RECITALS
A. Sellers executing this Agreement on the Effective Date own more than fifty percent (50%) of the Promia Shares, in the denominations as set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule I to this Agreement, as such final Schedule I and a final Schedule II setting forth the issued and outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire or purchase Promia Shares shall be delivered by Promia to PMW and mutually agreed upon by PMW and Promia within thirty (30) days (the “Determination Date”) of the Effective Date;
B. PMW desires to acquire from Sellers, and Sellers desire to sell and transfer to PMW, all of the Promia Shares outstanding on the Closing Date in exchange for the issuance and delivery by PMW, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.2, of one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of PMW (“Common Stock”), for each such number (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Promia Shares as mutually agreed between Promia and PMW in writing on or before the Determination Date (the “Exchange”), and PMW and Promia desire to cause all of the Promia Options outstanding on the Closing Date to be exchanged for or replaced with options to acquire PMW Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth below;
C. It is intended that, for federal income tax purposes, the Exchange shall qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and a reorganization described in Section 368 of the Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES
Section 1.1 The Exchange On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date:
(a) PMW shall issue and deliver to each of the Sellers owning Promia Shares such number of shares of Common Stock as is set forth opposite such Seller’s name on the final Schedule I, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.2, and each such
6
Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to PMW, the number of issued and outstanding Promia Shares set forth opposite such Seller’s name on the final Schedule I, along with a duly executed share assignment endorsed in favor of PMW.
(b) PMW shall issue and deliver to each Seller owning Promia Options, options and/or warrants exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock and at such per share exercise price as is set forth opposite such Seller’s name on the final Schedule II, in form and substance acceptable to Promia. Any restriction on the exercise of any such Promia Option shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Promia Option shall otherwise remain unchanged, and shall be assumed by PMW under the PMW options and/or warrants, and such rights with respect to Promia Shares shall be converted into rights with respect to Common Stock. It is the intent of the parties that any incentive stock options (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) so assumed by PMW qualify, to the maximum extent permissible following the Closing, as incentive stock options to the extent such options qualified as incentive stock options prior to the Closing.
Section 1.2 Exchange Ratio
(a) Based on the outstanding capital stock of PMW and Promia as of the Effective Date, and subject to Section 1.2(b) below, (i) the former Promia shareholders, option holders and warrant holders would own a total of 12,500,000 PMW shares, options or warrants; and (ii) the current stockholders and option holders of PMW would own a total of 5,800,000 PMW shares and options. As of the Closing Date and upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, the capitalization of PMW shall be no greater than 28,300,000 outstanding shares of stock, options and warrants.
(b) If between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, there shall be any change in the number of shares of outstanding capital stock of either PMW or Promia, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted such that immediately following the Closing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued to each represents the same ratio of ownership set forth in Section 1.2(a) above. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if PMW secures the Capital Raise with less than 10,000,000 shares of PMW Common Stock being issued thereunder (calculated on an as-converted basis with respect to any preferred stock): (i) PMW shall issue to Sellers, pro rata, an additional number of shares of PMW Common Stock (or options to purchase such shares, as applicable, for holders of Promia Options) equal to the difference between 10,000,000 and the actual number of shares issued pursuant to the Capital Raise, and (ii) the total of 12,500,000 PMW shares and options allocated for the former shareholders and option holders of Promia under Section 1.2(a) shall increase accordingly.
(c) If between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, the holders of issued and outstanding Promia Shares constituting less than one hundred percent (100%) but more than ninety percent (90%) of each class of Promia Shares have agreed to the Exchange contemplated hereunder (all other Promia shareholders, hereinafter the “Delayed Shareholders”), then Promia

For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, PMW shall be required to accept for Exchange any Promia shares then held by any Delayed Shareholder, subject to such shareholder’s execution of this Agreement and an assignment of such shareholder’s Promia Shares. Until such time as a Delayed Shareholder executes an agreement to submit his or her Promia Shares in exchange for shares of Common Stock (thereby becoming a Seller) including certain representations and warranties in a form acceptable to PMW and Promia, and such exchange is accepted by PMW, such Delayed Shareholder shall remain a shareholder of Promia and shall not be considered a stockholder of PMW and shall not be entitled to any of the rights thereof, including without limitation the right to vote or receive any distributions with respect thereto.

Such Seller, is either (i) an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or (ii) either alone or with a purchaser representative, has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to make such Seller capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment.

Section 5.8 Investment Intent The shares of Common Stock are being acquired by Seller for Seller’s own account for investment purposes only, not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Seller has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same.
