Dear Mr. Grubb:

         By executing this Subscription Agreement (the "Agreement"), the

Payment Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), upon the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, (1) warrants to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a

conditions of a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Warrant"), and (2) a $3,000,000 principal amount 10% secured convertible master
promissory note, between the Company and Investor, in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B (the "Note"), which Note may, pursuant to the terms thereof, be
converted into the class of shares of the Company's capital stock issued in a
Qualified Equity Financing (as defined in the Note), which are anticipated to be
designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(the "Series B Stock").

         To secure the full and prompt repayment of the Note, upon execution of
this Agreement the Company shall execute and deliver to the Investor a security
agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C (the "Security Agreement").

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         The Investor makes representations and warranties in this Subscription
Agreement in order to permit the Company to determine the suitability of the
Note and the Warrant as an investment for the Investor and to determine the
availability of the exemptions relied upon by the Company from registration
under Section 5 of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Securities Act"). The undersigned
understands and agrees that, although the Company will use its best efforts to
keep the information provided in the answers to this Agreement strictly
confidential, the Company may present this Agreement, and the information
provided in answers to it, to such parties as it deems advisable if called upon
to establish the availability under any federal or state securities laws of an
exemption from registration of a private placement or if the contents hereof are
relevant

to any issue in any investigation, action, suit or proceeding to which the
Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound.

1.       Investor Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Investor hereby
represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

         (a)      Legal Power; Due Authorization. The Investor has the requisite
legal power to enter into this Agreement, to purchase the securities of the
Company hereunder, to convert its Note and exercise its Warrant, and to carry
out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement. This
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Investor, and,
upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement will be a valid
and binding agreement of the Investor.

         (b)      Accredited Investor Status. The Investor represents that the
Investor is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act.

         (c)      Investment Intention and Restrictions on Disposition. The
Investor represents and warrants that the Investor is acquiring the Warrant
being purchased by it and the Note being issued to it hereunder, and will
acquire the Series B Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Note and the
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant and
conversion of the Series B Stock, solely for the Investor's own account for
investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution thereof in any transaction or series of transactions that would be
in violation of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.
The Investor agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer,
sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of those securities (or
solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of any
of those securities or any interest therein or any rights relating thereto,
except in compliance with (i) the Securities Act and (ii) all applicable state
securities or "blue sky" laws. The Investor further understands, acknowledges
and agrees that the those securities or any economic or voting rights relating
thereto may not be transferred, sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
disposed of unless such disposition is pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom and is exempt from
or in compliance with applicable state securities laws. The Investor has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the
terms and conditions of the Note and Warrant and the condition of the Company's
business, including without limitation its financial condition. The Investor is
an experienced investor in securities and 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 Note and Warrant. The Investor
understands that all securities issued hereunder are characterized as
"restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are
being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering
and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may not be
resold without registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, except in certain limited circumstances. In this connection,
the Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed
thereby and by the Act. The


                                      -2-

Investor understands that no public market now exists for any of the Company's
equity securities and that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever
exist therefrom. Investor hereby acknowledges that the Note, the Warrant and the
underlying shares of Common Stock and Series B Stock shall bear such legends as
may be required by applicable federal and state securities laws, as determined
in the good faith judgment of the Company.

Investor the Note in the aggregate principal amount of the Loan, and the Warrant
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

         2. Initial Closing. The closing of the first Advance contemplated by
this Agreement (the "Initial Closing") will take place at the offices of
Kilpatrick Stockton LLP, 1100 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30309 at 11:30

At the Initial Closing, the Company will deliver to Investor the Warrant dated

shall have no obligation whatsoever to fund such additional advances, and shall
make such additional advances, if any, in its sole discretion.

         4. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used for

activities outlined in the budget dated July 25, 2001 presented to the Investor.
