No
Registration.
BELTRUST acknowledges and agrees that the ETCI Shares will be offered
and
sold to BELTRUST without such offer and sale being registered under
the
Securities Act, or under any state securities or "blue sky" laws
of any
state of the U.S., and will be issued to BELTRUST in an offshore
transaction outside of the United States in accordance with a safe
harbor
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided
by
Regulation S. As such, BELTRUST further acknowledges and agrees that
the

may not be offered or sold in the U.S. or, directly or indirectly,
to U.S.
Persons, as that term is defined in Regulation
S, except in accordance with
the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to an effective
registration
statement under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an exemption from,
or
in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of
the
Securities Act and in each case in accordance with applicable state
and
federal securities laws. Neither the SEC nor any other securities
commission or similar regulatory authority has reviewed or passed
on the
merits of the ETCI Shares. The statutory and regulatory basis for
the
exemption claimed for the offer of the ETCI Shares, although in technical
compliance with
Regulation S, would not be available if the offering is part of a
plan or
scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Securities
Act or any applicable state and federal securities
laws
|
b. |
Investor
Not a U.S. Person.

Person.
|
c. |
Purchase
Entirely for Own Account.
BELTRUST understands that ETCI is making this Agreement with BELTRUST
in
reliance upon BELTRUST's representation to ETCI, which by BELTRUST's
execution of this Agreement BELTRUST hereby confirms, that BELTRUST
is
outside the United States when receiving and executing this Agreement
and
is acquiring the ETCI Shares as principal for BELTRUST's own account,
not
as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution
of any part thereof (other than a contemplated transfer to a non-US
person), and that BELTRUST has no present intention of selling, granting
any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same (other than
a
contemplated transfer to a non-US person). By executing this Agreement,
BELTRUST further represents that BELTRUST 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 ETCI Shares (other than a contemplated transfer to
a non-US
person).
|
d. |
No
Underwriter.
BELTRUST is not an underwriter of, or dealer in, the common shares
of

or otherwise, in the distribution of the ETCI
Shares.

e. |
Investment
Experience.
BELTRUST acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear
the
economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience
in
financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the
merits
and risks of the investment in the ETCI Shares and has the ability
to bear
the economic risks of its prospective investment and can afford the
complete loss of such investment.
|
f. |
No
Directed Selling Efforts.
BELTRUST acknowledges that BELTRUST has not acquired the ETCI Shares
as a
result of, and will not itself engage in, any "directed selling
efforts"
(as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in the U.S.
in
respect of the ETCI Shares which would include any activities undertaken
for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have
the
effect of, conditioning the market in the U.S. for the resale of
the ETCI
Shares; provided, however, that BELTRUST may sell or otherwise dispose
of
the ETCI Shares pursuant to registration of the ETCI Shares pursuant
to
the Securities Act and any applicable state and federal securities
laws or
under an exemption from such registration requirements and as otherwise
provided herein.
|
g. |
No
General Solicitation.
BELTRUST is not aware of any advertisement of any of the ETCI Shares
and
is not acquiring the ETCI Shares as a result of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising including advertisements, articles,
notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine
or
similar media or broadcast over radio or television, or any seminar
or
meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation
or
general advertising.
|
h. |
Disclosure
of Information.
The decision to execute this Agreement and acquire the ETCI Shares
hereunder has not been based upon any oral or written representation
as to
fact or otherwise made by or on behalf of ETCI, and such decision

deciding whether to purchase the ETCI Shares.
|
i. |
U.S.
Civil Remedies.
BELTRUST is acquiring the ETCI Shares pursuant to an exemption from
the
registration and prospectus requirements of applicable securities
legislation in all jurisdictions relevant to this subscription, and,
as a
consequence, BELTRUST will not be entitled to use most of the civil
remedies available under applicable securities legislation and BELTRUST
will not receive information that would otherwise be required to
be
provided to BELTRUST pursuant to applicable securities
legislation.

not undertaken, and will have no obligation, to register any of the
ETCI
Shares under the Securities Act.

whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all fees, costs

or
defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or
investigation whether commenced or threatened) arising out of or

ADDENDUM
TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
The
parties to this agreement are Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. (“ETCI”), a
California corporation, and Beltrust AG (“BELTRUST”), registered under
CH-270.3.013.076-3 in Basel, Switzerland.
When
executed by BELTRUST and ETCI, this agreement ("Agreement")will
set
out ETCI and BELTRUST's understanding and agreement regarding this proposed
transaction.
Taking
into consideration that:
· |
Parties
have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding dated 17 January
2005
(“MOU”) regarding the purchase of all outstanding shares in the Swiss
based company Xxxxxx Telecom Holding AG and its subsidiaries
(“XXXXXX”);
|
· |
Parties
wish to amend and add certain conditions to the proposed transaction
for
the sale and purchase of all the outstanding shares in
XXXXXX;
|
· |
ETCI
has requested an extension of the originally agreed upon due diligence
closing date of 30 April 2005;
|
· |
BELTRUST
is willing under certain conditions to grant an extension of the
due
diligence period.
|
Agree
to
the following:
1. |
BELTRUST
grants ETCI an extension of the due diligence period up to a maximum
of
one (1) year, commencing as of date of this Agreement. BELTRUST thus
also
grants the extension for the planned execution of the Share Purchase
Agreement as referred to in the MOU
(“SPA”).
|
2. |
BELTRUST
provides exclusivity to ETCI for the purchase of the shares in XXXXXX
for
a period equal to the due diligence period as stipulated under
1.
|
3. |
ETCI
will provide security for the purchase price as laid down in the
MOU by
paying the complete purchase price into a bank account at an escrow
agent.
In case parties do not enter into the SPA, the Purchase Price will
be
returned to ETCI by the escrow
agent.
|
4. |
For
the continuation, built-up of the business and the telecom network
during
the extended due diligence period, ETCI will assume sole responsibility
for providing working capital to XXXXXX. In case parties do not enter
into
the SPA, the working capital provided will be returned by XXXXXX
to ETCI.
As security for repayment of this working capital, BELTRUST will
arrange
that Xxxxxx will provide its assets as security to ETCI. In case
parties
enter into the SPA, the security arrangement will automatically terminate,
irrespective of how much working capital has been repaid by XXXXXX
to
ETCI.
|
5. |
Parties
appoint CC Financial Consult AG, Oberageri, Switzerland as the escrow
agent as discussed under 3.
|
6. |
The
purchase price will be paid into the escrow account no later than
May 31,
2005.
|
7. |
Parties
agree that XXXXXX will be changing their corporate names into Elephant
Talk. In case parties do not enter into the SPA, these name changes
will
be reversed whereby the direct cost associated is to be borne by
ETCI.
|
8. |
This
Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties
and no
other prior written or oral agreement shall be recognized or
enforced.
|
9. |
If
any clause or provision of this Agreement is later determined to
be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other clauses and provisions
of
this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.
|
10. |
Every
right and remedy provided herein shall be cumulative with every other
right and remedy, whether conferred herein, at law or in equity,
and may
be enforced concurrently herewith, and no waiver by the parties in
the
performance of any obligation by the other shall be construed as
a waiver
of the same or other default then, theretofore or thereafter occurring
or
existing. At any time prior to the issuance or exchange of the shares
as
contemplated herein, this Agreement may be amended by a writing signed
by
all parties hereto.
|
11. |
This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute
an original and which together, shall constitute one and the same
document.

not limited to principal payment, interest, penalties and periodic
payments.
2. |

for any
unearned interest or discount will be made.
