and without any action on the part of SUB or TARGET:
|
CONVERSION OF THE COMMON STOCK OF
TARGET .

TRUSTCASH Preferred Share (the “Issuable Shares”) for
every five (5) shares of PAIVIS Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Conversion
Ratio”).
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Purchase Price. The PARENT is paying the equivalent
of $0.65 in TRUSTCASH Preferred Shares currency for each PAIVIS
Common Share. (the “Purchase Price”)

Preferred Share has a fixed stated value of $3.25/share as per the
Preferred Shares rights and preferences listed in Exhibit
A.
|
|
|
(iv)

shareholders.

|
|
(v)
|
Misc. Upon such issuance of the Preferred Shares,
all shares of Common Stock of TARGET exchanged for shares of
Preferred Shares shall automatically be canceled and retired and
shall cease to exist. Each holder of a certificate representing any
such TARGET Common Stock shall, to the extent such certificate
represents such TARGET Common Stock , cease to have any rights with
respect to such TARGET Common Stock, except the right to receive
the Issuable Shares allocable to the shares represented by such
certificate upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with
Section 1.09.
|

RESALE
All series of the issuable Preferred Shares of the
PARENT will not be registered under the Securities Act, or the
securities laws of any state, and absent an exemption from
registration contained in such laws, cannot be transferred,
hypothecated, sold or otherwise disposed of until; (i) a
registration statement with respect to such securities is declared
effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) PARENT receives an
opinion of counsel for PARENT that an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act is
available.

follows:
“THE SECURITIES WHICH ARE REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF

OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNTIL A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT

RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT AN EXEMPTION
FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT IS
AVAILABLE.”

CERTIFICATES

customary letter of transmittal or other instructional form

surrender all the TARGET Common Stock to the stock transfer agent
of the Parent (Signature Stock Transfer, Inc., 2301 Ohio Drive,
Suite 100, Plano, Texas, 75093) upon such surrender to receive in
exchange
4
therefor certificates representing the number of
Issuable Shares into which the TARGET Common Stock theretofore
represented by the certificate or certificates so surrendered shall
have been converted pursuant to this Agreement. Until so
surrendered, each such outstanding certificate which, prior to the
Effective Time, represented TARGET Common Stock shall be deemed for
all corporate purpose, subject to the further provisions of this
Article I to evidence the ownership of the number of whole Issuable
Shares into which such TARGET Common Stock have been so converted.
No dividend payable to holders of Issuable Shares of record as of
any date subsequent to the Effective Time shall be paid to the
Stockholders as the owner of any certificate which, prior to the
Effective Time, represented TARGET Common Stock, until such
certificate or certificates are surrendered as provided in this
Article I or pursuant to letters of transmittal or other
instructions with respect to lost certificates provided by the
Exchange Agent.
(ii) SUB shares
of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock of SUB issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common
stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(iii) FRACTIONAL
SHARES. No certificate or scrip representing fractional Issuable
Shares shall be issued upon the surrender of certificates
representing TARGET Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and no
dividend declaration by the Board of Directors of PARENT shall
relate to any such fractional share. Fractional shares shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole share.
(iv) FULL
SATISFACTION OF RIGHTS. All Issuable Shares into which the TARGET
Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to this Article 1
shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all
rights pertaining to the TARGET Common Stock.
(v) CANCELLATION
OF CERTIFICATES. All certificates representing TARGET Common Stock
converted into Issuable Shares pursuant to this Article I shall be
canceled upon delivery thereof to the Exchange Agent pursuant to
this Agreement.
(vi) CLOSING
OF TRANSFER BOOKS. On the Effective Date, the stock transfer book
of TARGET shall be deemed to be closed and no transfer of Private
Shares shall thereafter be recorded thereon.
SECTION 1.10 REGISTRATION OF ISSUABLE
SHARES
The Parent shall file a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) to register the Issuable Shares within
ninety (90) days after issuance of the Issuable Shares.
The Parent shall use best efforts to effect, as soon
as practicable, such registration under the applicable Securities
Act (the “Act”) (including, without limitation, filing
post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under
applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate
compliance with the Act) as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of all or such portion of the Series B
Stock.
Although stated under this paragraph that the
holders of Series B Stock have the right to have their Series B
shares registered for resale with the Commission there can be no
assurance given by the Parent on the time period it may take to
approve the registration of such shares, or that the Commission
will ultimately declare the proposed registration statement
covering those shares to be effective.
SECTION 1.11 LISTING OF ISSUABLE SHARES FOR
TRADING
The Parent will make application for the listing of
the Series B Stock for trading on the exchange or quotation system
that the Parent’s common stock is then listed on or other
senior exchange or quotation system that the Parent plans to make
application to list its common stock within ninety (90) days of the
effectiveness of the registration of the Series B Stock.
Upon making application for listing the Parent will
use best efforts to list the Series B Stock on the American Stock
Exchange, or to cause the Series B Stock to be authorized for
quotation on the NASDAQ Small Cap or National Market System, as
soon as practicable (it being understood that the Parent will not
be in violation of this provision if
5
it is unable to obtain such listing or quotation
primarily as a result of its failure to satisfy the quantitative
listing requirements of the American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ Small
Cap or National Market).
SECTION 1.12 FINANCING
The Parties agree that Closing is subject to the
execution by Parent of an agreement for an equity or debt financing
to the Parent of up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) but no
less than Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) on terms agreeable to
both Parent and Target for the purposes of completing the
acquisition of Detroit Phone Cards Inc. (“DPC”), AAAA
Media Services Ltd. (“A4”) by the Target and working
capital for the Parent (“the Financing”).
The Closing is further subject to the Financing
being advanced to the Parent.

valid and binding obligation of SUB and PARENT enforceable against
it in accordance with and subject to its terms, except as
enforceability may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency or other
laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights, provided, that no such obligation shall arise or be binding
unless the SUB Stockholders approve this Agreement. Except as set
forth above or in Schedule 2.03
attached hereto, the execution and consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance with
its provisions by SUB and PARENT will not violate any provision of
Applicable Law and will not conflict with or result in any breach
of any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a
default under, SUB's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or
PARENT’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as the case
may be and in each case as amended, or, in any material respect,
any indenture, lease, loan agreement or other agreement or
instrument to which SUB and PARENT are a party or by which they or
any of their properties are bound, or any decree, judgment, order,
statute, rule or regulation applicable to SUB and PARENT except to
the extent that any breach or violation of any of the foregoing
would not constitute or result in a Material Adverse Effect on SUB
