        this
        Agreement, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

      

      1. 
Employment

        the
        Executive as its Chief Executive Officer/President - Elect for a period of
        17

        the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and Executive agrees
        to
        accept such employment subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

        the Company and shall perform the duties and responsibilities as are customary
        for the officer of a corporation in such positions and perform such other

        Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Executive shall report to
        and be
        supervised by the Board.

        activities (and shall be entitled to retain all economic benefits thereof
        including fees paid in connection therewith) as long as they do not interfere

        responsibilities hereunder: (i) serve on corporate, civic, religious,
        educational and/or charitable boards or committees, provided that the Executive

        Wasatch Front, except for required travel on Company business. 

      

      5. 
Term.
        The
        term of this Agreement shall commence on November 30, 2004 (the "Commencement
        Date"), and shall terminate on December 31, 2006, unless extended or earlier
        terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the "Termination
        Date"). This Agreement shall renew automatically for successive one-year
        periods
        unless either party notifies the other in writing at least 90 days before

        may

        beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the Termination Date is
        herein
        referred to as the "Employment Term."

      

      6. 
Compensation.
        As compensation for performing the services required by this Agreement, and
        during the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be compensated as
        follows:

      

      (a)    Base
        Compensation. The Company shall pay to the Executive an annual salary of
        $200,000 (the "Base Compensation"). The Base Compensation shall be payable
        in
        equal installments pursuant to the Company's customary payroll procedures
        in
        effect for its executive personnel at the time of payment, but in no event

        receive additional compensation in an amount equal to 75% of the Base
        Compensation (the "Cash Bonus"). The Cash Bonus will be adjusted based on
        whether and to what extent the Company achieves or falls short of certain
        operational and/or financial targets (the "Targets") set forth in a business
        plan adopted and approved by the Board and the Executive. All Cash Bonuses
        shall
        be paid to the Executive by March 31 of the year following the year in which
        they were earned and shall be subject to applicable withholding for federal,
        state and local income and employment related taxes. Subject to the terms
        of the
        Termination provision below, should Executive's employment termination result

        a partial year of employment, Executive shall be entitled to his Cash Bonus
        on a
        pro rata basis.

      

      (c)    Stock
        Options. Subject to the approval of the Board and the Company's stockholders,

        of
        which shall be set forth in a separate stock option agreement, substantially
        in
        the form of Exhibit A hereto (the "Stock Option Agreement").

      

      

      
        
           

        

        
          2

        participate in any retirement plans (qualified and non-qualified), pension,
        insurance, health, disability or other benefit plan or program that has been
        or
        is hereafter adopted by the Company (or in which the Company participates),
        as
        shall be determined by the Board from time to time; provided, however, that
        the
        Executive shall always be entitled to such benefits as are generally made
        available to the senior executives of the Company. The Company shall, in
        accordance with standard Company policy and practices in effect from time
        to
        time, reimburse the Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred
        by
        him in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder.

      

      8. 
Personal
        Time Off. The Executive shall be entitled to the normal and customary amount
        of
        paid vacation, sick leave, and personal days (vacation, sick leave, personal
        days collectively referred to as "PTO") provided to senior executive officers
        of
        the Company. Executive agrees to give reasonable notice of his PTO scheduling

        needs. Executive's PTO shall be limited to 22 business days per calendar
        year.
        (For this purpose, 2004 shall be counted as a partial year and prorated
        accordingly). Upon any termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever,
        any accrued and unused vacation shall be dealt with in accordance with Company
        policy.

      

      9.

        The rights of the Executive to indemnification from the Company for acts
        or
        omissions in connection with his employment by the Company are set forth
        in the
        Indemnification Agreement, dated November 30, 2004, between the Company and

      10.    Termination
        and Termination Benefits.

      

      (a)    Termination
        by the Company.

      

      (i)    For
        Cause.
        Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, the Company may terminate
        this
        Agreement at any time during the Employment Term for "Cause." For purposes
        of
        this subsection 10(a)(i), "Cause" shall mean (w) if the Company fails to
        achieve
        a majority of the Targets by 30% or more in any calendar year; (x) the willful
        failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties hereunder for
        any
        reason other than total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness,
        (y) a conviction (or plea of no contest) of Executive of any crime (other
        than a
        routine traffic violation) that constitutes a felony in the jurisdiction
        in
        which the crime was committed or the conviction (or plea of no contest) of
        Executive of any act that constitutes moral turpitude or (z) Executive having
        committed any act constituting fraud, theft or conversion of property as
        determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by the reasonable judgment
        of
        a majority of the Board after a good faith investigation. Termination pursuant
        to this subsection 10(a)(i) shall be effective immediately upon the delivery
        of
        written notice thereof from the Company to the Executive specifying the acts
        or
        omissions constituting the failure and requesting that they be remedied;
        provided, however, that in the case of a termination pursuant to clause (x)
        the
        Executive shall have 15 days from the date of such notice to cure the failure
        specified in such notice and termination shall occur immediately upon the
        expiration of such 15-day cure period if the Executive has not cured such
        failure in the good faith judgment of a majority of the Board. In the event
        of a
        termination pursuant to this subsection 10(a)(i), the Executive shall be
        entitled to payment of his Base Compensation and the benefits pursuant to
        Section 7 hereof up to the effective date of such termination.

      

      

      
        
           

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      

      (ii)    Disability.
        If due to illness, physical or mental disability, or other incapacity, the
        Executive shall fail, for a total of any six consecutive months ("Disability"),
        to substantially perform the principal duties required by this Agreement
        as
        determined in good faith by a majority of the Board, the Company may terminate
        this Agreement upon 30 days' written notice to the Executive. In such event,
        the
        Executive shall (A) be paid his Base Compensation and pro rata Cash Bonus
        until
        the Termination Date, and (B) be provided with employee benefits pursuant
        to
        Section 7 (other than transportation and hotel accommodations), to the extent
        available, for the remainder of the Employment Term; provided, however, that
        any
        compensation to be paid to the Executive pursuant to this subsection 10(a)(ii)
        shall be offset against any payments received by the Executive pursuant to
        any
        policy of disability insurance, the premiums of which are paid for by the
        Company under normal Company policies.

      

      (iii)    Without
        Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment hereunder at
        any
        time without Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive's employment
        hereunder without Cause, other than due to death or Disability, the Executive
        shall (i) be paid the Base Compensation and the target annual Cash Bonus
        to
        which he would have been entitled had the Company not terminated this Agreement
        and (ii) be provided with the employee benefits pursuant to Section 7, to
        the
        extent available, for a period ending on the later of (A) the one-year
        anniversary of the Termination Date or (B) the date on which the Employment
        Term
        would have terminated had the Company not terminated this Agreement without
        Cause (the "Benefit Period"); provided, however, if the Executive obtains
        new
        employment and such employment makes the Executive eligible for health and
        welfare or long-term disability benefits which are equal to or greater in
        scope
        than the benefits then being offered by the Company, then the Company shall
        no
        longer be required to provide such benefits to the Executive pursuant to
        Section
        7.

      

      (b)    Termination
        by the Executive. The Executive may terminate this Agreement at any time
        upon
        ninety (90) days prior written notice to the Company. Unless such termination
        is
        for Good Reason (as defined below), in such event the Company's sole obligation
        to the Executive shall be to pay the Executive the Base Compensation and
        the
        benefits described in Section 10 hereof, up to the date of such termination.
        In
        addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion
        (computed on a per diem basis) of the Cash Bonus he would have received had
        he
        not terminated this Agreement. If the Executive terminates this Agreement
        for
        Good Reason, such termination shall be treated as if the Company had terminated
        this Agreement without Cause and the provisions of Section 10(a)(iii) shall
        apply.

      

      As
        used
        herein, "Good Reason" means and shall be deemed to exist if, without the
        prior
        express written consent of the Executive, (a) the Company breaches this
        Agreement in any material respect; (b) the Company fails to obtain the full
        assumption of this Agreement by a successor; (c) the Company employs another
        senior executive and requests that the Executive report to such officer;
        (d) the
        Company materially reduces the Executive's responsibilities, as set forth
        herein; (e) the Company reduces the Base Compensation without the Executive's
        prior consent; or (f) the Company materially reduces the benefits to which
        the
        executive is entitled to pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement as of the
        date
        hereof, except if such reduction applies to all senior executives of the
        Company; provided, however, that with respect to items (a) - (f) above, within
        fifteen (15) days of written notice of termination by the Executive, the
        Company
        has not cured, or commenced to cure, such failure or breach.

      

      

      
        
           

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      

      (c)    Vesting
        of Stock Grants and Stock Options. In the event of any termination of this
        Agreement, Executive's rights with regard to any stock grants or stock options
        shall be as set forth in the respective agreement containing the terms and
        conditions pertaining thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
        that
        the Executive is terminated for reasons other than for "Cause," or in the
        event
        the Executive terminates this Agreement for "Good Reason," or in the event
        this
        Agreement is terminated by reason of Executive's death, any stock options
        then
        held by the Executive shall immediately vest in the Executive and shall remain
        exercisable for the period specified in the grant agreement.

      

      (d)    Death
        Benefit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement
        shall terminate on the date of the Executive's death. In such event, any
        stock
        options granted to the Executive that have previously vested or that would
        have
        vested before the end of the calendar year in which his death occurs, shall
        immediately vest in the executive's estate and shall remain exercisable for
        the
        period specified in the Stock Option Agreement notwithstanding any provision
        therein to the contrary, and the Base Compensation and Cash Bonus that would
        have been payable to the Executive through the end of the calendar year in
        which
        his death occurs shall be payable to his estate. Any benefits to which members
        of the Executive's immediate family would have been entitled by reason of
        kinship shall continue to be provided to them through the end of the calendar
        year in which his death occurs.

        Company
        is engaged in the business of selling prepaid products and services, providing
        electronic transaction processing for prepaid products and services, and
        selling
        or licensing an integrated electronic point of sale activation system or
        any
        other related areas into which the Company may expand (the "Business"); (ii)
        the
        Company's Business is conducted currently throughout the United States, Canada
        and in certain countries in Europe and Asia and may be expanded to other

        the business and goodwill of the Company. Accordingly, the Executive covenants
        and agrees as follows:

      

      (i)    Non-Compete.
        Without the prior written consent of the Board, the Executive shall not during
        the Restricted Period (as defined below) within the Restricted Area (as defined
        below) (except in the Executive's capacity as an officer of the Company or
        any
        of its affiliates), (a) engage or participate in the Business; (b) enter
        the
        employ of, or render any services (whether or not for a fee or other
        compensation) to, any person engaged in the Business; or (c) acquire an equity
        interest in any such person; provided, however, that during the Restricted
        Period the Executive may own, directly or indirectly, up to 1%, solely as
        a
        passive investment, of the securities of any company traded on any national
        securities exchange or on the National Association of Securities Dealers
        Automated Quotation System.

      

      

      
        
           

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      

      As
        used
        herein, "Restricted Period" shall mean the period commencing on the Effective
        Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Executive's termination
        of
        employment. In the event the Company elects not to renew the Agreement, pursuant
        to Section 5, above, the Restricted Period shall be shortened to the period
        commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the
        Executive's termination of employment.

      

      "Restricted
        Area" shall mean any geographic area in which the Company is conducting its
        Business or is actively seeking to conduct

      its
        Business

      

      (ii)    Confidential
        Information; Personal Relationships. The Executive acknowledges that the
        Company
        has a legitimate and continuing proprietary interest in the protection of
        its
        confidential information and has invested substantial sums and will continue
        to
        invest substantial sums to develop, maintain and protect its confidential
        information. The Executive agrees that, without the prior written consent
        of the
        Board, the Executive shall keep secret, shall retain in strictest confidence,
        and shall not knowingly use for the benefit of himself or others all
        confidential matters relating to the Company's business including, without
        limitation, operational methods, marketing or development plans or strategies,
        business acquisition plans, joint venture proposals or plans, and new personnel
        acquisition plans, learned by the Executive heretofore or hereafter (such
        information shall be referred to herein collectively as "Confidential
        Information"); provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the
        Executive from disclosing or using any Confidential Information (A) in the
        performance of his duties hereunder, (B) as required by applicable law, (C)
        in
        connection with the enforcement of his rights under this Agreement or any
        other
        agreement with the Company, or (D) in connection with the defense or settlement
        of any claim, suit, or action brought or threatened against the Executive
        by or
        in the right of the Company. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein
        to
        the contrary, the term Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include
        any general knowledge, skills, or experience acquired by the Executive or
        any
        knowledge or information known or available to the public in general. Moreover,
        the Executive shall be permitted to retain copies of, or have access to,
        all
        such Confidential Information relating to any disagreement, dispute, or
        litigation (pending or threatened) involving the Executive.

      

      (iii)    Employees
        of the Company and its Affiliates. During the Restricted Period, without
        the
        prior written consent of the Board, the Executive shall not, directly or
        indirectly, hire or solicit, or cause others to hire or solicit, for employment
        by any person other than the Company or any affiliate or successor thereof,
        any
        employee of, or person employed within the two years preceding the Executive's
        hiring or solicitation of such person by, the Company and its affiliates
        or
        successors or encourage any such employee to leave his employment. For this
        purpose, any person whose employment has been terminated involuntarily by
        the
        Company shall he excluded from those persons protected by this Section for
        the
        benefit of the Company.

      

      (iv)    Business
        Relationships. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, directly
        or indirectly, request or advise a person that has a business relationship
        with
        the Company to curtail or cancel such person's business relationship with
        the
        Company.

      (b)    Rights
        and
        Remedies Upon Breach. If the Executive breaches, threatens to commit a breach
        of, any of the provisions contained in Section 12 of this Agreement (the
        "Restrictive Covenants"), the Company shall have the following rights and
        remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others
        and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in
        lieu
        of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in
        equity: 

      

      (i)    Specific
        Performance and Injunctive Relief. The right and remedy to have the Restrictive
        Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it
        being
        agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants
        would
        cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not
        provide
        an adequate remedy to the Company. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company
        shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable
        relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent
        jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain Executive from
        committing any violation of the Restrictive Covenants. These injunctive remedies
        are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company
        may
        have.

      

      (ii)    Accounting.
        The right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay over
        to the
        Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other
        benefits derived or received by the Executive as the result of any action
        constituting a breach of Restrictive Covenants.

      (c)    Severability
        of Covenants. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive
        Covenants are reasonable and valid in duration and geographical scope and
        in all
        other respects. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants,
        or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the
        Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full
        effect without regard to the invalid portions. The provisions set forth in
        this
        Section 12 above shall be in addition to any other provisions of the business
        conduct and ethics policy applicable to employees of the Company and its
        subsidiaries during the term of Executive's employment.

      

      (d)    Saving
        Clause. If the period of time or the area specified in subsection (a) above
        should be adjudged unreasonable in any proceeding, then the period of time
        shall
        be reduced by such number of months or the area shall be reduced by the
        elimination of such portion thereof or both so that such restrictions may
        be
        enforced in such area and for such time as is adjudged to be
        reasonable.

      

      13.  
Executive's
        Representation and Warranties. Executive represents and warrants that he
        has the
        full right and authority to enter into this Agreement and fully perform his
        obligations hereunder, that he is not subject to any non-competition agreement
        other than with the Company, and that his past, present and anticipated future
        activities have not and will not infringe on the proprietary rights of others.
        Executive further represents and warrants that he is not obligated under
        any
        contract (including, but not limited to, licenses, covenants or commitments
        of
        any nature) or other agreement or subject to any judgment, decree or order
        of
        any court or administrative agency which would conflict with his obligation
        to
        use his best efforts to perform his duties hereunder or which would conflict
        with the Company's business and operations as presently conducted or proposed
        to
        be conducted. The Executive has provided the Company with an accurate and
        complete list of all boards of directors, boards of trustees, boards of advisors
        and committees thereof of which he is a member as of the date hereof. Neither
        the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the
        Company's business as officer and employee by Executive will conflict with
        or
        result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of or constitute
        a
        default under any contract, covenant or instrument to which Executive is
        currently a party.

        The failure or delay of any party at any time to require performance by the
        other party of any provision of this Agreement, even if known, shall not
        affect
        the right of such party to require performance of that provision or to exercise
        any right, power, or remedy hereunder, and any waiver by any party of any
        breach
        of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of
        any
        continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision
        itself, or a waiver of any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement.
        No
        notice to or demand on any party in any case shall, of itself, entitle such
        party to other or further notice or demand in similar or other
        circumstances.

      

      (d)    Power
        and

        in
        limitation of, anything contained in this Agreement, it is expressly understood
        and agreed that Sections 10-14 above, shall survive any termination of this
        Agreement.

      

      (f)    Governing
        Law; Headings. This Agreement and its construction, performance, and
        enforceability shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
        laws
        of the State of Utah. Headings and titles herein are included solely for

        to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any
        bond,
        surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect
        thereto. Any party may make service on another party by sending or delivering
        a
        copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner
        provided for giving of notices in Section 14(h). Nothing in this Section,
        however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any
        other
        manner permitted by law.

      Any
        notice delivered to the party hereto to whom it is addressed shall be deemed
        to
        have been given and received on the day it was received; provided, however,
