PLAN AND AGREEMENT OF REORGANIZATION


This Plan and Agreement of Reorganization (“Agreement”) is entered into on this 17TH  day of June 2010 by and between STEELE RECORDING CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (“STEELE RECORDING”), and STEELE RESOURCE, INC., a Nevada corporation (“STEELE RESOURCE”), and those persons listed in Exhibit A hereto, being all of the stockholders of Steele Resource who together hold one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding stock of Steele Resource as of the date this Agreement is execu ted.

RECITALS

A.           The Board of Directors of Steele Recording and stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding shares of Steele Resource believe it is in the best interests of each entity and their respective stockholders for Steele Recording to acquire Steele Resource through a statutory reorganization (the “Reorganization”) and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the reorganization.

B.           Pursuant to the Reorganization, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Steele Resource (“Steele Resource Capital Stock”) shall be exchanged for shares of Steele Recording common stock and all outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire or receive shares of Steele Resource shall be exchanged for the right to receive shares of voting Common Stock of Steele Recording (“Steele Recording Exchange Stock”).

C.           Steele Recording and its Directors, Peter Kristensen and Mack Steele and Steele Resource desire to make certain representations and warranties and other agreements in connection with the Reorganization.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises, and representations set forth herein, and for good and valuable consideration, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION I
THE REORGANIZATION

1.1
Exchange of Steele Resource Capital Stock.  As of the Closing Date, Steele Resource has issued 5,730 shares of its common stock. All stockholders of Steele Resource  listed on Exhibit A (the “Steele Resource Stockholders”), as of the date of Closing as such term is defined in Section II herein (the “Closing” or the “Closing Date”), shall transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Steele Recording on the Closing Date, certificates representing one hundred percent (100%) of the Steele Resource Stock or such lesser percentage as shall be acceptable to Steele Recordi ng, but in no event less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the outstanding Steele Resource Stock.  The transfer of the Steele Resource Stock shall be made free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, encumbrances or charges, whether disclosed or undisclosed, except as the Steele Resource Stockholders and Steele Recording shall have otherwise agreed in writing.

 
1

 


1.2
Issuance of Steele Recording Exchange Stock to Steele Resource Stockholders.  As consideration for the transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Steele Resource Capital Stock hereunder, Steele Recording shall, at the Closing, issue to the Steele Resource Stockholders, pro rata in accordance with each Stockholder’s percentage ownership of Steele Resource immediately prior to the Closing, certificates representing up to an aggregate of Five Million Seven Hundred Thirty Thousand (5,730,000) shares of Steele Recording common stock (the “Steele Recording Exchange Stock”).  The “Exchange Ratio” shall be One Thousand (1000) shares of Steele Recording Stock exchanged for one (1) share o f Steele Resource Capital Stock.  The parties intend that the Steele Recording Exchange Shares being issued will be used to acquire all outstanding Steele Resource Stock.  To the extent that less than 100% of the Steele Resource Stock is acquired, the number of shares issuable to those Steele Resource Stockholders who have elected to participate in the exchange described in this Agreement (the “Exchange”) shall increase proportionately.

1.3
Steele Resource Stock Options.  Steele Resource will have no outstanding options, warrants or any other right to purchase Steele Resource’s common stock on the Closing Date.

1.4
Steele Recording Exchange Stock to be Free and Clear of Encumbrances.  The issuance of the Steele Recording Exchange Stock shall be made free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, encumbrances or charges, whether disclosed or undisclosed, except as the Steele Resource Stockholders and Steele Recording shall have otherwise agreed in writing.  As provided herein, and immediately after the Closing, after the ten-for-one (10:1) forward stock split, Steele Recording shall have issued and outstanding: (i) not more than 96,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which 21,200,000 shall be freely tradable; and (ii) shall have no preferred stock issued and outstanding.

1.5
Steele Recording Exchange Stock to be Restricted.  None of the Steele Recording Exchange Stock issued to the Steele Resource Stockholders, nor any of the Steele Resource Capital Stock transferred to Steele Recording hereunder shall, at the time of Closing, be registered under U.S. securities laws but, rather, shall be issued pursuant to an exemption therefrom and be considered “restricted stock” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).  All of the issued Steele Recording Exchange Stock shall bear a legend worded substantially as follows:

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and are ‘restricted securities’ as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act.  The shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the Company.”



 
2

 

The respective transfer agents of Steele Recording and Steele Resource shall annotate their records to reflect the restrictions on transfer embodied in the legend set forth above.  There shall be no requirement that Steele Recording register the Steele Recording Exchange Stock under the 1933 Act, nor shall Steele Resource or the Steele Resource Stockholders be required to register any Steele Resource Capital Stock under the 1933 Act.

1.6
Effect of Reorganization.  Upon the consummation of the Exchange Transaction and the issuance and transfer of the Steele Recording Exchange Stock as set forth above, Steele Resource Stockholders will hold approximately sixty percent (60%) of the then-outstanding common stock of Steele Recording representing a controlling interest in Steele Recording.  The Exchange Transaction will result in Steele Resource becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Steele Recording.

1.7
Tax and Accounting Consequences.  The Reorganization contemplated by this Agreement is intended to constitute an exchange as contemplated by the provisions of Sections 351 and 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Each party has consulted its own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the Reorganization.
