PART 2
THE MERGER
(b) Telupay will be the Surviving Corporation and, upon the Effective Time,
(i) all property and rights to which Telupay and I-Level Mergeco were entitled immediately before the Effective Time will become the property and right of Telupay;
(ii) Telupay will become subject to all criminal and civil liabilities and all contracts, debts and other obligations, to which each of Telupay and I-Level Mergeco were subject immediately before the Effective Time;
(iii) all actions and other legal proceedings which, immediately before the Effective Time, were pending by or against Telupay and I-Level Mergeco may be continued by or against Telupay; and
- 11 -
(iv) Telupay shall remain as a limited liability public company incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands, retains its name as "Telupay PLC" and retain its registered address at Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX0 0XX;
(c) Upon the Effective Time, all shares of common stock in the capital of I-Level Mergeco shall be cancelled for no consideration and I-Level Mergeco shall cease to exist.
2.2 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and immediately after the events specified at clause 2.1, upon the Effective Time:
(a) I-Level will become a shareholder of Telupay, as the Surviving Corporation, and immediately thereafter a share or stock swap shall occur so that each Telupay Share will thereby be surrendered to I-Level and the holder of such Telupay Share shall be entitled to be issued the number of I-Level Shares determined by the Exchange Ratio, with any fractions of 0.5 and more in respect of each holder's aggregate Telupay Shares rounded off to the nearest whole share (so that no Telupay Shareholder will receive more than one share in lieu of a fractional share in respect of such Telupay Shareholder's entire holdings). As of the Effective Time all Telupay Shares shall be held by I-Level, and each holder of a certificate representing any Telupay Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the I-Level Shares to be issued in consideration therefor upon surrender of such certificate, without interest;
(b) each Telupay Share held in the treasury of Telupay immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto;
(c) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, between the Execution Date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio has been agreed upon in writing by Telupay and I-Level, and thereafter the outstanding I-Level Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, or a stock dividend thereon shall have been declared with a record date within such period, the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted;
(d) all of the Telupay Options and Telupay Warrants then outstanding will be disposed of by the holders thereof in consideration for the issue of non-transferable options to purchase shares of I-Level (each, an "I-Level Exchange Option") or non-transferrable warrants to purchase shares of I-Level (each, an "I-Level Exchange Warrant"), as applicable, to the persons set out in Section 4.1(b)(i) of the Telupay Disclosure Schedule, subject to reduction for any Telupay Options and Telupay Warrants that are exercised or expire prior to Closing. The number of I-Level Exchange Options and I-Level Exchange Warrants issuable shall be determined with reference to the Exchange Ratio, mutatis mutandis. As of the Execution Date of this Agreement, the Exchange Ratio is 1.2 I-Level Shares for every one Telupay Share. Accordingly, assuming the Exchange Ratio is the same at the Effective Time, a Telupay Option or Telupay Warrant to acquire one Telupay Share would result in an I-Level Exchange Option or I-Level Exchange Warrant, as applicable, to acquire 1.2 I-Level Shares, and the exercise price of each I-Level Exchange Option or I-Level Exchange Warrant, as applicable, shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of the corresponding whole Telupay Option or Telupay Warrant, as applicable, by the Exchange Ratio. No fractional I-Level Exchange Options or I-Level Exchange Warrants will be issued, and any fractions of 0.5 and more in respect of each holder's aggregate Telupay Options or Telupay Warrants of any given series, as applicable, shall be rounded off to the nearest whole I-Level Exchange Option or I-Level Exchange Warrant, as applicable (so that no Telupay Option holder or Telupay Warrant holder will receive more than one I-Level Exchange Option or I-Level Exchange Warrant, as applicable, in lieu of a fractional option or warrant in respect of such Telupay Option holder or Telupay Warrant holder's entire holdings);
- 12 -

The securities represented by this certificate cannot be the subject of hedging transactions unless such transactions are conducted in compliance with the 1933 Act."
In addition, the certificates representing the I-Level Exchange Options and I-Level Exchange Warrants will be stamped with the following legend (or substantially equivalent language) restricting exercise in the following manner if such restriction is required by the Regulatory Authorities:

"United States" and "U.S. Person" are as defined by Regulation S under the 1933 Act."
The Acquisition Shares, the I-Level Exchange Options and the I-Level Exchange Warrants will be issued by I-Level to the Telupay Shareholders and Telupay Option holders and Telupay Warrant holders in reliance upon the exemption contained in Regulation S promulgated under the 1933 Act based on the representations and warranties of Telupay herein that none of the Telupay Shareholders or any Telupay Option holders or Telupay Warrant holders are U.S. Persons or are in the United States.

PART 5
COVENANTS
5.1 During the Pre-Effective Date Period Telupay will, subject to the fact that a transaction involving its Business is contemplated hereby, continue to carry on the Business of Telupay in a manner consistent with prior practice, working to preserve the attendant goodwill and good standing of such entities and their Assets and to contribute to retention of that goodwill to and after the Execution Date. The following provisions of this Part 5 are intended to be in furtherance of this general commitment.
- 36 -
(a) Neither the Board of Directors of Telupay nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, the approval or recommendation by such Board of Directors or such committee of this Agreement or the Merger; (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any transaction described in the first sentence of Section 5.2; or (iii) cancel or fail to call or hold the Telupay Meeting or remove this Agreement and the Merger from consideration at such meeting prior to completion of the vote of the stockholders of Telupay on this Agreement and the Merger; except in each such case (A) in connection with an unsolicited Takeover Proposal that the Board of Directors of Telupay determines in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal and (B) if the Board of Directors of Telupay determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is necessary to do so in order to avoid breaching its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Telupay under applicable Jersey, Channel Islands law.
(b) As used in this Agreement: "Superior Proposal" means a bona fide unsolicited "Alternative Transaction" (as defined below) for Telupay that: (i) is not conditional on obtaining financing; and (ii) in respect of which the Board of Directors of Telupay have determined in good faith, after consultation with, and receiving advice (which may include a written opinion) from, as appropriate, its financial, legal and other advisors that such Alternative Transaction would, if consummated in accordance with its terms, reasonably likely result in a transaction more favourable to Telupay's shareholders from a financial point of view than the proposed transaction with I-Level. The term "Alternative Transaction" means any of the following transactions between Telupay or any of its affiliates and any person other than I-Level: (i) the acquisition or purchase of any capital stock or other voting security, any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any capital stock or other voting security of Telupay or any subsidiary of Telupay or all or a substantial portion of the assets of Telupay or any subsidiary of Telupay; (ii) a merger, recapitalization, reorganization, joint venture or other business combination involving Telupay or any subsidiary of Telupay; or (iii) any other extraordinary business transaction involving or otherwise relating to Telupay or any subsidiary of Telupay.
(c) Should the Merger fail to complete due to any breach by Telupay of Section 5.2 or as a result of Telupay's acceptance (in any manner) of a Superior Proposal, Telupay shall pay to I-Level a break fee of U.S.$250,000 within two business days of any such event (the "Break-fee"). In this regard the Parties acknowledge and agree that, in consideration of the substantive time, effort and expense being expended by I-Level to both complete the within Merger and reorganize and secure the Business interests of Telupay consequent thereon, the Break-fee is fair and reasonable from a financial point of view and that the Board of Directors of Telupay has received appropriate financial and legal advice advising them of the same.
