Conversion
of Amounts Owing after 12 Months of Merged
Operations
|

Based
on the values of in-kind contributions that will be made over the
next 12
months, Teliphone will have an outstanding advance from Intelco when
both
advances are netted.

The
netted $ value will be converted to options exercisable into Class
A
voting shares of the common stock of Teliphone. The valuation that
will be
used is $1,000,000, which means that each $10,000 of netted investment
in
Teliphone will be equal to 1%. It is estimated that the net advance
will
be $75,000, or options on 7.5%. These shares will be in the name
of
Intelco.
|
6.2. |
Subsequent
to this conversion, both Teliphone and Intelco will commence to invoice
each other for their respective services being offered, with payments
due
within 30 days upon receipt of
invoice.
