EXHIBIT A SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT A
This Share Exchange Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 1, 2003, by and among Raybor Management Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Raybor”), IC Marketing Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ICM”) and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxx”) and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx (“Ackermann” and who along with Xxxxxxx are individually referred to as a “Shareholder and collectively as the “Shareholders”)
RECITALS
A. ICM sends direct mail magazine subscription offers to the public. American Consumer Publishing Association, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“ACPA”) provides magazine order processing and other administrative services for ICM’s magazine subscription business. Back 2 Backs, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“B2B”) owns and operates four clinics treating lower back pain by means of spinal decompression technology. Freedom Financial, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Freedom”) provides equipment lease financing to B2B and other financial services to B2B and to third parties. Raybor is a public shell corporation whose shares of common stock have been registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
B. B2B’s and Freedom’s businesses are complementary and closely related as are those ACPA and ICM. It would be advantageous to ICM, XXXX, X0X and Freedom if they were part of the same corporate “family” as such a structure would bring complementary businesses under common control and ownership and at the same time, because B2B’s and Freedom’s businesses, on the one hand, and ACPA’s and ICM’s, on the other, are quite different and distinct, would provide diversified revenue streams. Raybor would provide a vehicle to raise additional capital on for ICM, XXXX, X0X and Freedom.
C. Consequently, the Shareholders wish to exchange all of their shares in ICM solely for shares of Raybor’s voting common stock and, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, ACPA and the shareholders of ACPA (“ACPA Shareholders”), B2B and the shareholders of B2B (“B2B Shareholders”) and Freedom and the sole shareholder of Freedom (“Freedom Shareholder”), have entered into share exchange agreements (the “Other Agreements”) with Raybor, similar to this Agreement, providing for the exchange of all the shares of capital stock in each of XXXX, X0X and Freedom owned by the ACPA Shareholders, the B2B Shareholders and the Freedom Shareholder, respectively, solely for shares of Raybor’s voting common stock.
D. The Shareholders, the ACPA Shareholders, the B2B Shareholders and the Freedom Shareholder intend, by executing this Agreement and the Other Agreements, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to cause the transactions contemplated
1
hereby and thereby to qualify as a “reorganization” under the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the covenants and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 3. SHAREHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Each Shareholder, for himself and herself severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to Raybor that the statements contained in this Article 3 are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and covenants with Raybor as follows:
Section 3.01. Power. Such Shareholder has the sole and exclusive right to transfer to Raybor legal and beneficial title and ownership of all the ICM Shares set forth opposite his or her name in Schedule 2.01, and will upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement transfer to Raybor legal and beneficial title to such ICM Shares, as provided herein, free and clear of all Liens, except restrictions imposed thereon by applicable federal and state securities laws. Such Shareholder has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement and all other agreements, documents and instruments executed or to be executed by him or her as contemplated herein and to carry out the transactions and perform each of his or her obligations provided for herein and therein.
Section 3.02. Due Authorization. Each of this Agreement and the other agreements, documents and instruments to be executed by such Shareholder in connection with this Agreement constitutes (or will constitute when executed) a legally valid and binding obligation of each of such Shareholder, enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with its respective terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally now or hereafter in effect, and subject to the availability of equitable remedies.
Section 3.03 Title to ICM Shares. Such Shareholder is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the ICM Shares set forth opposite his or her name in Schedule 2.01, with good and marketable title to such Shares, free and clear of any and all Liens, except restrictions imposed thereon by applicable federal and state securities laws.
Section 3.04 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such Shareholder in reliance upon such Shareholder’s representation to Raybor, which by such Shareholder’s execution of this Agreement such Shareholder hereby confirms, that the Shares issued or issuable to such Shareholder will be acquired for investment for such Shareholder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Shareholder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Shareholder further represents that such Shareholder does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares. Each Shareholder understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by reason of a specific
5
exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholders’ representations as expressed herein.
Section 3.05 Access to Information. Such Shareholder has received and has had full access to all the information that such Shareholder considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to Purchaser’s investment in the Shares. Such Shareholder acknowledges that Raybor has given such Shareholder the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Raybor regarding the business, prospects and financial condition of Raybor, ICM, XXXX, X0X and Freedom, and to examine any document, matter or information that such Shareholder considers relevant or appropriate in connection with this investment. To the extent that such Shareholder has not sought information regarding any particular matter, such Shareholder represents that he or she had no interest in doing so and that such matters are not material to such Shareholder in connection with this investment. Such Shareholder has accepted the responsibility for conducting his or her own investigation and obtaining for such Shareholder, from the above sources and other sources, such information as to the foregoing and all other subjects as such Shareholder deems relevant or appropriate in connection with this investment. Without limiting the foregoing, such Shareholder acknowledges that:
(a) Immediately prior to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Agreements, Raybor had no prior operations or revenues and minimal assets;
(b) Such Shareholder has received and read a copy of each of the Other Agreements and the exhibits and schedules attached thereto pursuant to which the ACPA Shareholders, the B2B Shareholders and the Freedom Shareholder have agreed to exchange their shares of capital stock in XXXX, X0X and Freedom for shares of Common Stock of Raybor; and
(c) Such Shareholder understands that the historical financial statements of ICM, XXXX, X0X and Freedom are currently being audited by Raybor’s independent public accountants, that it is presently anticipated that there will be material adjustments made to the financial statements from the unaudited and audited financial statements for such entities previously prepared and that such Shareholder should not rely on such previously prepared financial statements in deciding whether to enter into this Agreement and invest in the Shares.
Section 3.06 Investment Experience. Such Shareholder is able to fend for himself or herself, can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that he or she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.
Section 3.07 Restricted Securities. Such Shareholder understands that the Shares he or she is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Raybor in a transaction
6
not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations the Shares may be resold without registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Shareholder represents that he or she is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. Such Shareholder further understands that Raybor has not complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during the preceding twelve months and, consequently, SEC Rule 144 is not currently available to such Shareholder and will not be available for resales of the Shares until Raybor has been in full compliance with such reporting requirements for a period of at least twelve months.
Section 3.08 No Public Market. Such Shareholder represents that he or she understands that no public market now exists for any of the Shares, that Raybor has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Shares and that, even if such a public market exists at some future time, Raybor may not then be satisfying the current reporting requirements of Rule 144.
Section 3.9 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, such Shareholder covenants and agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares unless and until:
(a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) (i) Such Shareholder shall have notified Raybor of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished Raybor with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably requested by Raybor, such Shareholder shall have furnished Raybor with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Raybor, that such disposition will not require registration of such Shares under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any Shareholder or transferee to his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such Shareholder or his or her spouse, in each such case if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were an original Shareholder hereunder.
Section 3.10 Legends. Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Shares, and any securities issued in respect thereof or in exchange therefor, may bear one or all of the following legends:
“These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or, if reasonably
7
requested by the issuer, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the issuer that such registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 of such Act.”
Section 3.11 Market Standoff. Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that, during the period of duration specified by Raybor and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of Raybor, following the effective date of the first registration statement of Raybor filed under the Securities Act, he or she shall not, to the extent requested by Raybor and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of Raybor held by such Shareholder at any time during such period except Common Stock included in such registration; provided, however, that such market stand-off time period shall not exceed 180 days. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, Raybor may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such securities of each Shareholder until the end of such period.
Section 3.12 Legal Representation. Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that (i) legal counsel to Raybor is representing only Raybor in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and is not representing such Shareholder and (ii) such Shareholder has been given the opportunity to have his or her own legal counsel represent such Shareholder in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and has declined to do so.
