          The Company desires to employ the Executive as its Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that the Executive’s contribution to the growth and success of the Company will be substantial. The Board desires to encourage the dedication of the Executive to the Company, which will promote the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Executive is willing to serve the Company on the terms and conditions herein provided.


          Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 18.


          In consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree (as of the Effective Date) that:


          1.     Employment. The Company shall employ the Executive, and the Executive shall serve the Company, as Chief Executive Officer of the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

The Executive shall devote his full business time, attention, skill and efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder, except during periods of illness or periods of vacation and leaves of absence consistent with Company policy. The Executive may devote reasonable periods of time to serve as a director or advisor to other organizations, to perform charitable and other community activities, and to manage his personal investments; provided, however, that such activities do not materially
interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder and are not in conflict or competitive with, or adverse to, the interests of the Company.


          2.     Service on the Board.  The Executive shall fill the vacancy created on the date hereof on the Board by the resignation of Henry Baroco (to be designated as a “Continuing Director” as that term is defined in that certain Securityholders Agreement dated January 20, 2004, between the Company and Lightyear PBI Holdings, LLC).  Upon the appointment or election of the Executive to the Board, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Executive the standard form of indemnification agreement, if any, entered into by the Company for the benefit of its directors generally.


          3.     Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be for a continuing term of two (2) years (the “Term”), which shall be extended automatically (without further action of the Company or the Executive) each day for an additional day so that the remaining term shall continue to be two years; provided, however, that either party may at any time, by written notice to the other, fix the Term to a finite term of two years, without further automatic extension, commencing with the date of such notice.

e.
  	
  
Nothing in   this Section 6 shall prevent the Executive from disclosing Trade Secrets   or Confidential Business Information pursuant to a court order or   court-issued subpoena, so long as the Executive first notifies the Company of   said order or subpoena and makes a reasonable effort to give such notice in   sufficient time to allow the Company to seek an appropriate protective order.   The Executive agrees that if he receives any formal or informal discovery   request, court order, or subpoena requesting that he disclose Trade Secrets   or Confidential Business Information, he will immediately notify the Company   and provide the Company with a copy of said request, court order, or   subpoena.

The   Executive acknowledges and agrees that great loss and irreparable damage   would be suffered by the Company if the Executive should breach or violate   any of the terms or provisions of the covenants and agreements set forth in   this Section 7. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that each   of these covenants and agreements is reasonably necessary to protect and   preserve the interests of the Company. The parties agree that money damages   for any breach of clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 7 will   be insufficient to compensate for any breaches thereof, and that the   Executive or any of the Executive’s affiliates, as the case may be, will, to   the extent permitted by law, waive in any proceeding initiated to enforce   such provisions any claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists.   The existence of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action against the   Company, whether predicated upon this
Agreement or otherwise, shall not   constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any of the covenants   or agreements in this Agreement; provided, however, that the   failure by the Company to pay when due all amounts owed to Executive pursuant   to Section 7(c) above shall absolve the Executive of any obligation to   perform pursuant to this Section 7; and provided, further that   nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to deny the Executive the right to   defend against this enforcement on the basis that the Company has no right to   its enforcement under the terms of this Agreement.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
e.
  	
  
The   Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the covenants and agreements   contained in clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 7   are the essence of this Agreement; (ii) the Executive has received good,   adequate and valuable consideration for each of these covenants; and   (iii) each of these covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect and   preserve the interests and properties of the Company. The Executive also   acknowledges and agrees that: (i) irreparable loss and damage will be   suffered by the Company should the

Executive   breach any of these covenants and agreements; (ii) each of these   covenants and agreements in clauses (a) and (b) of this   Section 7 is separate, distinct and severable not only from the other   covenants and agreements but also from the remaining provisions of this   Agreement; and (iii) the unenforceability of any covenants or agreements   shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other covenants   or agreements or any other provision or provisions of this Agreement. The   Executive acknowledges and agrees that if any of the provisions of   clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 7 shall ever be deemed to   exceed the time, activity, or geographic limitations permitted by applicable   law, then such provisions shall be and hereby are reformed to the maximum   time, activity, or geographical limitations permitted by applicable law.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
f.
  	
  
The   Executive and the Company hereby acknowledge that it may be appropriate from   time to time to modify the terms of this Section 7 and the definition of   the term “Business” to reflect changes in the Company’s business and affairs   so that the scope of the limitations placed on the Executive’s activities by   this Section 7 accomplishes the parties’ intent in relation to the then   current facts and circumstances. Any such amendment shall be effective only   when completed in writing and signed by the Executive and the Company.

          11.     Settlement of Claims. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the Executive or others.

Any action brought by any party to this Agreement shall be brought and maintained in a court of competent jurisdiction in State of Georgia.


          14.     Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

          (iv)   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the   Executive’s employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control and the   Executive reasonably demonstrates that such termination (A) was at the   request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps   reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control and who effectuates a   Change in Control (a “Third Party”) or (B) otherwise occurred in   connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control which actually   occurs, then for all purposes of this Agreement, the date of a Change in   Control with respect to the Executive shall mean the date immediately prior   to the date of such termination of the Executive’s employment.
