SHARE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made as of the __ day of November, 2003, by and between East
Coast Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation with an office at C/▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, P.C., 4 Executive Park, Albany, New York ("East
Coast"), and Psy-Ed Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, having its
principal offices located at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
("Psy-Ed") and each of the stockholders of Psy-Ed who have executed a
counterpart signature page of this Agreement (each a "Selling Psy-Ed
Stockholder" and collectively, the "Selling Psy-Ed Stockholders").
BACKGROUND:
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of East Coast and Psy-Ed have
determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of each of East Coast
and Psy-Ed and their respective shareholders that East Coast acquire the
outstanding securities of Psy-Ed owned of record by the Psy-Ed Stockholders
through a share exchange ( the "Exchange") and, in furtherance thereof, have
approved the Exchange, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, all pursuant to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
WHEREAS, East Coast is authorized to issue 20,000,000 common shares,
$.0001 par value, and shall, as a condition to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein prior to the "Initial Closing", defined below,
take all necessary corporate and shareholder measures to obtain the authority
under the Delaware General Corporation Law to amend ( the "Amendment") its
Certificate of Incorporation to authorize: (i) an increase in its authorized
common shares from 20,000,000 to 50,000,000 common shares; (ii) the
establishment of a class of "blank check" preferred stock in the amount of
10,000,000 shares, and; (iii) a change in its corporate name to "EP Global
Communications, Inc.";
WHEREAS, the issued and outstanding common shares and preferred shares
of Psy-Ed on the Initial Closing Date (the "Psy-Ed Common Shares" and the "Psy-
Ed Preferred Shares", or, collectively, the "Psy-Ed Shares") will be owned
beneficially and of record by the stockholders of Psy-Ed (the "Psy-Ed
Stockholders") in the amounts and classes set forth on EXHIBIT 4.19 hereto; and
WHEREAS, East Coast desires to acquire the Psy-Ed Common Shares in
exchange for shares of East Coast common stock; and the Selling Psy-Ed
Stockholders and Psy-Ed desire to exchange their respective Psy-Ed Common
Shares for shares of East Coast common stock, in a two-stage transaction: East
Coast's acquisition of Psy-Ed Common Shares representing at least fifty-one
(51%) percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Psy-Ed
capital stock outstanding shall be stage one and consummated at the Initial
Closing, and; thereafter, East Coast shall continue to offer the exchange in a
second stage, utilizing its best efforts to acquire a sufficient aggregate
number of Psy-Ed Common Shares so that the exchange transaction contemplated in
this Agreement qualifies as a "tax free reorganization" under Section 368 of
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), at which
time a "Final Closing", defined below, shall occur.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
herein contained and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. THE EXCHANGE
1.1 Agreement to Exchange. Upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at
the "Initial Closing" and the "Final Closing" (as hereinafter defined) the
Selling Psy-Ed Stockholders agree to deliver all of their right, title and
interest in and to their respective Psy-Ed Common Shares to East Coast, free
and clear of all liens, claims, pledges, restrictions, obligations, security
interests and encumbrances of any kind, nature and description (collectively
"Liens"), save and except only for Liens in favor of East Coast.
1.2 Agreement to Acquire. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, at the Initial Closing and at the Final Closing, East Coast agrees to
accept the Psy-Ed Common Shares and to issue to the Selling Psy-Ed
Stockholders, in exchange for their Psy-Ed Common Shares, shares of East Coast
common stock, $.0001 par value per share ("East Coast Common Stock") according
to the following two stages: (i) East Coast shall offer East Coast Common Stock
to the Selling Psy-Ed Stockholders until the Psy-Ed Common Shares delivered to
East Coast represent no less than fifty-one (51%) percent of the total
combined voting power of all classes of Psy-Ed capital stock outstanding, at
which time, the parties shall hold an Initial Closing, and; (ii) following the
Initial Closing, East Coast shall continue on a best efforts basis to offer
East Coast Common Stock to the Selling Psy-Ed Stockholders until either the
aggregate amount of Psy-Ed Common Shares delivered to East Coast represent at
least eighty (80%) percent of the total combined voting power of all classes
of Psy-Ed capital stock outstanding and eighty (80%) percent of the total
number of all classes of Psy-Ed capital stock outstanding in order that the
Exchange qualifies as a tax free reorganization under Section 368 of the Code,
or until the scheduled Final Closing. The purpose and intent of East Coast and
Psy-Ed in structuring the Exchange transaction contemplated in this Agreement
in two stages is to first facilitate the consummation of the reverse merger of
Psy-Ed with East Coast as a 51% owned subsidiary of East Coast.
2. TERMS OF EXCHANGE
2.1 Rate of Exchange. Subject to the filing of the Amendment and the
satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Psy-Ed Stockholders
shall deliver their Psy-Ed Shares at Initial Closing and thereafter, at the
Final Closing in exchange for the following East Coast Shares:
(a) The Psy-Ed Common Shares shall be exchanged (the "Psy-Ed Exchanged
Common Shares"), assuming that all Psy-Ed Shareholders exchange all of
their Psy-Ed Common Shares, for an aggregate 13, 493,874 shares of East
Coast Common Stock, at the rate of ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Shares for each of
the Psy-Ed Common Shares, and;
(b) Subject to further increase pursuant to Section 9 below and assuming
that all Psy-Ed Shareholders exchange all of their Psy-Ed Common Shares,
following the Exchange, the Psy-Ed Selling Shareholders shall beneficially
own of record not less than approximately 65% of all of the voting shares
of East Coast, on a fully diluted basis, less that prorated amount of East
Coast Common Shares that would have been exchanged with the
"Non-Exchanging" Psy-Ed shareholders, defined below.
The above specified rates of exchange shall be collectively referred to as the
"Exchange Ratio". The East Coast Common Shares are sometimes hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "East Coast Shares".
2.2 Registration of the East Coast Shares. The East Coast Shares issuable in
the Exchange
shall be registered in the name(s) of the Psy-Ed Selling Stockholder(s) and in
the amounts set forth on EXHIBIT 4.19 hereto which shall be compiled after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing by Psy-Ed and
appended hereto in complete form.
2.3 Status of East Coast Shares. The East Coast Shares will not be registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and may not be
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of except in compliance with the 1933
Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration provisions thereof and
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act").
2.4 Restrictive Legends. Each Certificate representing the East Coast Shares
shall bear the following or substantially similar legend:
"The Shares represented by this Certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These Shares have been
acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution
or
resale, and may not be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise transferred without an effective Registration Statement for
such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an
opinion of counsel to the effect that registration is not required
under such Act."
2.5 Effective Date of the Exchange. Subject to the satisfaction of all of
the conditions set forth in Section 8 below, the Exchange shall initially
become effective upon the consummation of the Initial Closing and upon the
latter date of (i) the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of
Delaware or (ii) the date any requisite filing is made with the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. East Coast and Psy-Ed agree to use their best efforts to cause
such filings to occur as promptly as practicable following the Initial Closing.
As used herein, the term "Effective Date" shall mean the date upon which the
Amendment is filed by the Secretary of State of Delaware or the filing of any
required certificate or document with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
whichever is the last to occur. Following the Effective Date, the Exchange
shall continue until either (x) the aggregate amount of Psy-Ed Common Shares
delivered to East Coast represent at least eighty (80%) percent of the total
combined voting power of all classes of Psy-Ed capital stock outstanding and
eighty (80%) percent of the total number of all classes of Psy-Ed capital stock
outstanding in order that the Exchange qualify as a tax free reorganization
under Section 368 of the Code, and at which time, the parties shall hold a
"Final Closing", or (y) until February 2, 2004.
2.6 Effect of Exchange. From and after the Effective Date of the Exchange and
thereafter, from and after the Final Closing, ownership of the Psy-Ed Common
Shares shall vest in East Coast, whether or not certificates evidencing the
Psy-Ed Common Shares are surrendered for exchange, and East Coast shall be
entitled to have new certificates evidencing the Psy-Ed Common Shares
registered in its name or at its direction. From and after the Effective Date
and the Final Closing, certificates theretofore evidencing the Psy-Ed Common
Shares shall evidence only the right to receive the East Coast Shares issuable
upon exchange thereof.

determined in accordance with the provisions of applicable law and the By-Laws
of East Coast): (i) the number of directors of East Coast shall be increased
to 7; (ii) the following individuals shall be appointed to the East Coast Board
of Directors, each of whom shall hold office until the next annual meeting of

In connection with the exchange of shares by Psy-Ed Corporation ("Psy-Ed")
on an exchange basis of 173 for 1 on the Closing Date set forth within the
Share Acquisition Agreement with East Coast Airlines, Inc., ("ECA"), a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") and delivery of the Shares to the undersigned, the
undersigned for itself and its heirs, representatives, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns, represents, warrants and agrees with
the Company as follows with respect to the Shares:
1. The undersigned will be acquiring the shares for
investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof and is familiar with
the meaning of such representation and covenants and understands the
restrictions which are imposed thereby. More specifically, but without
limitation, the undersigned understands that in the view of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, one who acquires securities for investment is not exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), if he merely acquires such securities for resale upon the
occurrence or non-occurrence of some predetermined event or for holding for a
fixed or determinable period in the future.
2. The undersigned will be acquiring the shares
solely for the undersigned's own account and no other person or entity has any
direct or indirect beneficial ownership or interest therein.
3. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants
that it is a corporation which was not organized for the purpose of acquiring
the shares.
4. The undersigned has been advised that in reliance
on the representations, warranties and agreements herein made by the
undersigned, the issuance, and delivery of the shares to the undersigned will
not be registered under the Act on the ground that the issuance thereof is
exempt from registration by virtue of Sections 4(2) and/or 3(b) thereof.
5. The undersigned represents and warrants to the
Company that the investment in the Company represented by the purchase of the
shares came about as a result of direct communications between the Company and
the undersigned, and did not result from any form of general advertising or
general solicitation including but not limited to, advertisements or other
communications in newspapers, magazines, or other media; broadcasts on radio or
television, seminars or promotional meetings or any letter, circular or other
written communication.
Very truly yours,
