CONSUMMATION OF CONTRIBUTION
If the capital contribution contemplated is completed, all

borne by each of the parties. This transaction may be deferred
from time to time by mutual consent of the respective boards of
directors of each of the parties hereto, and, to the extent
provided in (1), (2), (3) and (4) below, this transaction merger
may be abandoned:
1. By the mutual consent of the respective Boards of Directors
of each of the parties hereto;
2. At the election of either of the Boards of Directors, if in
the discretion of the Board any judgment is rendered relating to
any legal proceeding not commenced and the existence of the
judgment will or may materially affect the rights of either party
to sell, convey, transfer or assign any of its assets or
materially interfere with the operation of its business, renders
the merger impracticable, undesirable or not in the best
interests of its shareholders;
3. At the election of the Board of Directors of either party if:
(a) The warranties and representations of the other party

in all material respects on and as of the date of election; or
the covenants contained of the other Constituent Corporation

either of them, any process, demand or request which, in the
opinion of counsel for either party, offers reasonable grounds to
believe that a complaint or xxxx in equity may be forthcoming
which, if successful, would restrain, enjoin or dissolve the
transaction, and if, in either case, such Board of Directors
determines that abandonment and cancellation of this Agreement is
advisable in the best interests of the parties, their
shareholders, employees and customers;
ARTICLE IV
SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
The assets being contributed, and especially the software still
being developed by RT, are unique and if eConnect fails in the
delivery of these assets (especially in the timely delivery of
properly-operating software) that such failure will cause
irreparable harm to SafeTPay, and thereby to SafeTPay's other
investors, for which there will be no adequate remedy under law.
SafeTPay shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies at
law or under equity, to specific performance should eConnect fail
to deliver any asset.
ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION
(a) To the extent permitted by law, eConnect shall indemnify and
hold harmless SafeTPay, and its directors and officers (each, an
"Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred
(collectively, "Claims") to which any of them may become subject
as the result of any conflict created by, or as a result of the
imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance created by, this
agreement & transaction, or from any action that may be brought
against SafeTPay regarding the patents referred to above,
including, but not limited to, any actions that may be brought by
Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx, or Xxx Xxxxxx, or otherwise, insofar as
such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
the foregoing. eConnect shall reimburse an Indemnified Person
promptly as such expenses are incurred, and are due and payable,
for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Article shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of eConnect, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action
(including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person
shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Article, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate
in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory
to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person; provided,
however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to
retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to
be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion
of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation
by such counsel of the Indemnified Person would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. In such event, eConnect shall pay
for only one separate legal counsel for such Indemnified Person.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action
shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person under this Article, except to the extent that
the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend
such action. The indemnification required by this Article shall
be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the
course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss,
damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
(c) To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party
is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to
make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for
which it would otherwise be liable under this Article to the
fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that no
contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker
would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault
standards set forth in this Article.
ARTICLE VI
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Each of the parties hereto acknowledge and recognize the following:
The Year 2000 issue arises because many computerized systems
use two digits rather than four to identify a year. Date
sensitive systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some
other date, resulting in errors when information using the year
2000 date is processed. In addition, similar problems may arise
in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to represent
something other than a date. The effects of the Year 2000 issue
may be experienced before, on, or after January 1, 2000, and if
not addressed, the impact on operations and financial reporting
may range from minor errors to significant system failure which
could affect the parties' ability to conduct normal business
operations. This creates potential risk for all companies, even
if their own computer systems are Year 2000 compliant. It is not
possible to be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000 issue
affecting the parties, including those related to the efforts of
customers, suppliers, or other third parties, will be fully
resolved. It is also not possible to predict the affect that
such issue will have on the operation of the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board, upon which the common stock of eConnect is traded
(trading on such market could be disrupted for periods of time).
Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants as follows:
The parties currently believe that their systems are Year
2000 compliant in all material respects. Although the parties
are not aware of any material operational issues or costs
associated with preparing its internal systems for the Year 2000,
the parties may experience serious unanticipated negative
consequences (such as significant downtime for one or more of its
web site properties) or material costs caused by undetected
errors or defects in the technology used in their internal
systems. Furthermore, the purchasing patterns of customers may
be affected by Year 2000 issues as companies expend significant
resources to correct their current systems for Year 2000
compliance. The parties do not currently have any information
about the Year 2000 status of their existing or potential
customers. The parties' Year 2000 plans are based on their best
estimates.
