                  TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
                  -------------------------------------------

This Termination of Executive Services Agreement ("Agreement") made as of the
31st day of October, 2000, by and between Telemonde, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation having its principal place of business at 44 Portman Square, 4th
Floor, London W1H 9FH England ("Telemonde") and Paul E. Donofrio, an individual
residing at 12 Castle Court, Nesconset, New York 11767 ("Donofrio").

Whereas, the parties entered into that certain Executive Services Agreement
dated the 22nd day of February 2000, by and between Telemonde and Donofrio ("The
Executive Services Agreement").

WHEREAS, Donofrio terminated his employment with Telemonde effective October 31,
2000 ("Termination Date"); and

Whereas, the parties desire to settle and compromise all issues of compensation,
benefits, stock options due or becoming due under the Executive Services
Agreement, and provide for the continuation of Donofrio as a member of the Board
of Directors of Telemonde, all upon the terms and conditions, all as hereinafter
described;

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is acknowledged, and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein
and of the mutual benefits herein provided, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.  Effective October 31, 2000, Donofrio will voluntarily, permanently and
         irrevocably relinquish all duties as Executive Vice President and Chief
         Financial Officer of Telemonde, or otherwise as an employee of
         Telemonde, but will remain a member of Telemonde's Board of Directors
         for a period that begins with the execution of this Agreement and
         continues until the Annual Meeting of Telemonde Stockholders in
         calendar year 2003 (unless Donofrio resigns therefrom or is terminated
         for cause pursuant to Telemonde's by-laws, charter or by operation of
         law), upon the terms as covered by a Board Member Services Agreement
         attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     2.  Telemonde shall continue to pay Donofrio his base salary at a rate of
         $250,000 per annum through November 15, 2000 (to account for unused
         vacation and unused unavoidable absence time), on the same basis as
         paid prior to termination (irrespective of whether Donofrio is
         reemployed), and Donofrio acknowledges and agrees that except as
         otherwise provided in this Agreement and associated Exhibit, he shall
         not be entitled to any further payments, compensation or benefits from
         Telemonde arising from the Executive Services Agreement after November
         15, 2000.

     3.  Telemonde has provided prepaid Medical coverage for Donofrio and his
         family and Telemonde agrees to keep this prepaid Medical coverage in
         effect for Donofrio and his family through March 31, 2001.

     4.  Telemonde has provided prepaid Life Insurance coverage for Donofrio and
         Telemonde agrees to keep this prepaid Life Insurance coverage in effect
         for Donofrio through March 21, 2001.
<PAGE>

     5.  Telemonde shall continue to pay Donofrio an automobile and gasoline
         allowance of $700 per month through November 15, 2000.

     6.  Under the terms of the Executive Services Agreement, Telemonde
         acknowledges that it would have owed Donofrio a $150,000 guaranteed
         bonus, and a $50,000 discretionary bonus (totaling $200,000 in
         bonuses), on January 1, 2001. Since the above referenced Executive
         Services Agreement was executed between the parties on the 22nd day of
         February 2000, Donofrio has a significant interest in the two bonuses
         described above within this paragraph "6" and Telemonde agrees that
         said bonuses are deemed vested, due and owing as of the date hereof.
         Also, under the Executive Services Agreement, Donofrio vested in
         nonqualified stock options of 1,400,000 on June 1, 2000 and 400,000 on
         September 1, 2000. Telemonde acknowledges that these vested
         nonqualified stock options (totaling 1,800,000) are fully exercisable
         and carry an exercise price of $0.50 per share. Therefore, in
         consideration of the $200,000 in bonuses and 1,800,000 nonqualified
         stock options as well as for valuable consideration towards complete
         and full settlement and resolution of all issues between Telemonde and
         Donofrio, Telemonde agrees to provide Donofrio with 675,000 Telemonde
         shares of Rule 144 Restricted Stock by November 15, 2000. Upon the
         granting of these shares, Donofrio will waive his vested interest in
         the bonuses and nonqualified stock options described above within this
         paragraph "6".

     7.  By November 15, 2000, Telemonde agrees to reimburse Donofrio for any
         legal and/or professional fees incurred by him in connection with this
         agreement, and any associated employment agreement made by Donofrio, up
         to a maximum of $6,000.

     8.  Donofrio further agrees that the payments provided and rights afforded
         to him in paragraphs "2" through "7": (a) equal or exceed any payment,
         benefit, or other thing of value to which he might otherwise be
         entitled under any policy, plan or procedure of Telemonde and (b) are
         in full discharge of any and all of Telemonde's liabilities and
         obligations to him, whether written or oral, arising out of The
         Executive Services Agreement.

     9.  The existence and terms of this Agreement are and shall be deemed
         confidential and shall not be disclosed by Donofrio or by any party
         acting on behalf of Donofrio to any person or entity, except: (a) in
         any proceeding arising out of an alleged breach of this Agreement; (b)
         as may be required by law; and (c) to Donofrio's attorneys, spouse,
         accountants, financial advisors, and/or prospective employers or
         partners, provided that the person to whom disclosure is made aware of
         the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and such person(s)
         agrees to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential. Except
         pursuant to an order of a government body or court of competent
         jurisdiction, and then only provided that Donofrio has complied with
         the next sentence of this paragraph "9" of this Agreement, neither
         Donofrio nor any party acting on his behalf shall disclose to or
         discuss with representatives of the media or any other person or
         entity, or make or cause to be made or publish or cause to be published
         any statement of any kind disclosing or discussing, any information
         concerning: (a) any matters relating directly or indirectly to this
         Agreement or the terms thereof; (b) Donofrio's termination from
         employment with Telemonde except that Donofrio may state that he
         resigned to pursue
<PAGE>

         other interests pursuant to an agreement with Telemonde; or (c) the
         merits of any claim or proceeding against Telemonde or the Telemonde
         Entities. Donofrio agrees to give Telemonde notice of any and all
         attempts to compel disclosure of any information he is prohibited from
         disclosing by this paragraph "9", by written or telephonic notice of
         such an attempt to Kevin Maxwell, Chairman, Telemonde, Inc., 40 Portman
         Square, 4th Floor, London W1H 9FH, England, +44 20 7486 4900. Donofrio
         shall provide such written notice at least five (5) days before
         compliance with any subpoena or order is required, but if the subpoena
         or order requires compliance within less than five days, Donofrio shall
         provide such telephonic notice, within one (1) business day after
         receiving notice that an attempt will be or has been made to compel
         such disclosure.

     10. Telemonde agrees not to publicly disparage (or induce or encourage
         others to publicly disparage) Donofrio or to disclose the facts or
         circumstances surrounding his separation from employment with Telemonde
         unless required by law. For purposes of this paragraph, the term
         "publicly disparage" means any statements made to the press by
         Telemonde's senior officers in their official capacity, or any
         statements made officially by Telemonde that adversely affect
         Donofrio's personal or professional reputation.

     11. Any non-disclosure provision in this Agreement does not prohibit or
         restrict Telemonde or Donofrio from responding to any inquiry about
         this Agreement or its underlying facts and circumstances from the
         Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the NASD, any other
         securities related self-regulatory organization or to any prospective
         employer or partner.

     12. Telemonde will continue to provide Donofrio with any rights of
         indemnification he may currently have as an Officer of Telemonde under
         Telemonde's Certificate of Incorporation, by-laws and/or General
         Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, with respect to any claim
         brought against Donofrio by a third-party concerning his conduct while
         acting in his capacity as an Officer of Telemonde. Donofrio agrees to
         make himself available, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice
         from Telemonde and its counsel, for purposes of providing factual
         information and/or testimony in connection with any investigation or
         any action, suit, complaint, claim, grievance, charge or proceeding of
         any kind relating to Telemonde or any of the Telemonde Entities.
         Donofrio agrees that if he is served with a subpoena by Telemonde
         compelling his testimony, he will comply with, and will not contest the
         validity or enforceability of, the subpoena, and will meet with counsel
         representing Telemonde in advance of such testimony. Donofrio agrees
         that no subpoena will be necessary for any other meetings, interviews,
         conversations or requests for written statements requested by Telemonde
         in accordance with this paragraph "12", if, as and when reasonably
         required by Telemonde. Donofrio agrees to cooperate with Telemonde
         during any such interviews or testimony by truthfully answering each
         question posed to him to the best of his knowledge and, if requested by
         Telemonde, by signing a statement or statements reflecting such
         information. Telemonde agrees to reimburse Donofrio for the reasonable
         cost of his travel and subsistence incurred at such interview,
         deposition, trial, hearing or proceeding, and, where the assistance of
         counsel for Donofrio is reasonably required, Telemonde will reimburse
<PAGE>

         Donofrio for reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred by Donofrio
         in connection with that interview or testimony.

     13. This agreement is binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the
         parties and their respective heirs, distributees, executors,
         administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

     14. In the event Donofrio is deceased or legally incompetent, the word
         "Donofrio" means his estate (including his heirs, distributees,
         executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and
         assigns) or legal representative, as the case may be.

     15. This Agreement and the Exhibit hereto constitute the complete
         understanding between the parties, and may not be changed orally and
         supersede any and all prior proposals, agreements, understandings,
         written or oral, or course of conduct, between the parties. Donofrio
         acknowledges that neither Telemonde nor any representative of Telemonde
         has made any representations or promise to him other than as set forth
         in this Agreement.

     16. This Agreement and the Exhibit hereto may be executed simultaneously in
         several parts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
         which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     17. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
         accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Should any
         provision of this Agreement require interpretation or construction, it
         is agreed by the parties that the court (or other entity) interpreting
         or construing this Agreement (or the Exhibit hereto) shall not apply a
         presumption that the provisions hereof shall be more strictly construed
         against one party by reason of the rule of construction that a document
         is to be construed more strictly against the party who prepared the
         Agreement (or the Exhibit hereto), it being agreed that all parties
         have participated in the preparation of all provisions of this
         Agreement (and the Exhibit hereto).

     18. If, at any time after the date of the execution of this Agreement, any
         provision of this Agreement (or the Exhibit hereto) shall be held by
         any court or agency of competent jurisdiction, in an action brought by
         Donofrio or on his behalf, to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such
         provision shall be of no force and effect. However, the illegality or
         unenforceability of such provision shall have no effect upon, and shall
         not impair the unenforceability of, any other provision of this
         Agreement (or the Exhibit hereto).

     19. In the event any party brings an action for enforcement of this
         Agreement or damages, the prevailing party in such action shall be
         entitled to his/its reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys'
         fees, incurred in connection therein.

     20. Any notice required hereunder shall be deemed sufficiently given if in
         writing and addressed as follows (or at such other address as each
         party may subsequently designate):

     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (the "First Amendment") to the Rights Agreement dated
as of July 9, 1999 between NOVA Corporation and First Union National Bank, as

NOVA Corporation (the "Company").

                              -------------------

     WHEREAS the Company has established the Rights Agreement;

     WHEREAS, Section 27 of the Rights Agreement permits the Company to
supplement or amend any provision of the Rights Agreement, subject to certain
conditions, without the approval of the holders of the Rights, in any manner
which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely
affect the interests of the holders of Rights Certificates;

     WHEREAS, the Company deems it necessary and desirable to amend the Rights
Agreement in order to clarify the definition of "Acquiring Person;"

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby amends the Rights Agreement as follows:

                                       1.

     Section 1.(a) shall be amended by deleting the current Section 1.(a) in its
entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following replacement Section 1.(a):

(A)  (i)  "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person who or which, together with
           ----------------
     all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall, after the Rights
     Dividend Declaration Date, become the Beneficial Owner of 10% or more of
     the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, but shall not include the
     Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Person who or which,
     together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, is the
     Beneficial Owner of 10% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the
     Company as of the Record Date, any employee benefit plan of the Company or
     of any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Person or entity organized,
     appointed or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any
     such plan; provided, however, any Person who or which, together with all
     Affiliates and Associates of such Person, is the Beneficial Owner of 10% or
     more of the shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, and subsequently
     acquires any additional shares of Common Stock shall be deemed an Acquiring
     Person, subject to the provisions below.
<PAGE>

(ii) Nothwithstanding the foregoing, any Person who or which, together with all
     Affiliates and Associates of such Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of
     10% or more, but less than 15%, of the shares of Common Stock then
     outstanding shall not be deemed an Acquiring Person for any purposes of
     this Agreement if a majority of the Continuing Directors (as defined below)
     or, if there are then no Continuing Directors, a majority of the Board of
     Directors of the Company, determines in good faith that such Person has
     become such as the result of an acquisition of shares of Common Stock by
     the Company or a recapitalization, or has acquired the shares of Common
     Stock of the Company inadvertently or for investment purposes only;
     provided that, as part of such determination, the Board of Directors may
     require that such Person divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient
     number of shares of Common Stock so that such Person would no longer be an
     "Acquiring Person," as defined pursuant to the provisions of this Section
     1(a). In the event that a Person whom or which the Board of Directors, in
     accordance with the foregoing procedure, has determined is not an Acquiring
     Person, acquires any additional shares subsequent to such determination,
     such Person shall be deemed an Acquiring Person unless (i) such Person
     still is the Beneficial Owner of less than 15% of the shares of Common
     Stock then outstanding and (ii) the Board of Directors again makes a
     determination with respect to such Person in accordance with the foregoing
     procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Person becomes the
     Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock then
     outstanding solely as the result of a recapitalization or the repurchase of
     shares of Common Stock by the Company, the Board of Directors shall have
     the authority to make the same determination with respect to that Person as
     outlined above; provided, however, that any additional acquisition of
     shares of Common Stock by that Person subsequent to such determination
     shall cause that Person to be deemed an Acquiring Person.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this First Amendment to the
Rights Agreement to be duly executed as of the date and year first above
written.
