                              AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF
                            MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

         WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of the Company, SFSI, STSI, BFS and

                                    ARTICLE 1

                          THE MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

         1.1      The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
                  Agreement and the Plans of Merger, BFS and BTI shall be merged
                  with and into SFSI and STSI so that BFS and BTI shall become
                  wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, and SFSI and STSI
                  shall be the surviving corporations in the Merger (sometimes
                  referred to as the "Surviving Corporations") and SFSI and STSI
                  shall continue their corporate existence under the laws of the
                  State of Delaware. The Merger shall be consummated when
                  properly executed and certified copies of the Plans of Merger
                  are filed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of
                  the State of Delaware and the Indiana Business Corporation Law
                  with the Secretaries of State of the States of Delaware and
                  Indiana (the date and time of such filings is the "Effective
                  Time"). From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving
                  Corporation in each merger shall possess all of the rights,
                  privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of a
                  private nature, and be subject to all the restrictions,
                  disabilities and duties, of each of the parties to the Merger,
                  all as set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State
                  of Delaware.

         1.2      Conversion of Shares into Company Shares and Notes. Upon
                  effectiveness of the Merger, by virtue of the Merger and
                  without any further action on the part of any of the Company,
                  SFSI, STSI or the Shareholders, all of the outstanding shares
                  of BFS and BTI Common Stock shall be exchanged for and
                  converted into (a) 458,716 shares of Company Common Stock
                  ("Shares"), (b) a $1,266,420.00 Promissory Note of the Company
                  in the form attached as Exhibit B ("Note") and (3) the cash
                  amount of $800,000. The Note will be secured pursuant to the
                  terms of a Security Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit
                  C ("Security Agreement"). The Shares shall be subject to the
                  transfer restrictions provided under Sections 3.1(c) and 6.7
                  and held in escrow pursuant to the Pledge and Escrow Agreement
                  to be entered into substantially in the form attached as
                  Exhibit D. The Note shall be subject to set-off as provided
                  below. All outstanding shares of BFS and BTI Common Stock will
                  be cancelled in the Merger. Fractional shares will be rounded
                  to the nearest whole number in an effort to equitably account
                  for otherwise fractional shares. No fractional shares or cash
                  in lieu of fractional shares will be issued.

         1.3      Tax-free Reorganization. The parties intend that the Merger
                  shall constitute a tax- free reorganization within the meaning
                  of Section 368(a)(1)(A) and Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the
                  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

                  Shareholders shall surrender all certificates representing BFS
                  and BTI Common Stock, and the Shareholders shall then be
                  entitled to receive the cash payment of $800,000, the number
                  of shares of Company Common Stock provided for in Section
                  1.2(a) above and the Note provided in 1.2(b) above. The Shares
                  of Company Common Stock will be delivered by the transfer
                  agent for Company to Barnes & Thornburg, acting as escrow
                  agent, pursuant to the Pledge and Escrow Agreement as soon as

                  the fifth (5th) business day after the Closing.

         1.5      Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the
                  closing (the "Closing") of the transactions contemplated by
                  this Agreement shall take place at the offices of Proskauer
                  Rose LLP, 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036, on or
                  before December 17, 2001 at 10:00 a.m. (the "Closing Date"),
                  or at such other time, place or date as the Company and the
                  Shareholders may mutually agree; provided however, that if a
                  condition to the Closing set forth in Article 7 or elsewhere
                  herein shall not have been fulfilled or waived at that time,
                  any party entitled to the benefits of the condition may
                  postpone the Closing by notice to the other parties until the
                  condition or conditions shall have been met or waived, except
                  that in no event shall the Closing occur after December 31,
                  2001 without the written agreement of all parties.
                  Concurrently with the Closing, the Plans of Merger shall be
                  filed with the Secretaries of State of the States of Delaware
                  and Indiana. Closing shall be conditioned upon effectiveness
                  of the Merger in such States.

                  Corporation. The Certificates of Incorporation and By-Laws of
                  SFSI and STSI (when formed), as in effect immediately prior to

                  and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporations, until thereafter
                  changed or amended as provided therein or by law.

         1.7      Board of Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of

                  Certificates of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving
                  Corporations, until their successors are duly elected and

                  Surviving Corporations may add such additional officers and

                  (c)     Certain Corporate Matters. Each of BFS and BTI is duly
                          licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign
                          corporation and is in good standing in each
                          jurisdiction, as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) (Foreign
                          Corporation Qualification-Beasley), in which the
                          ownership of its properties, the employment of its
                          personnel or the conduct of its business requires it
                          to be so qualified, except where such failure would
                          not have a material adverse effect on either BFS's or
                          BTI's financial condition, results of operations or
                          business. Each of BFS and BTI has full corporate power
                          and authority and has obtained all authorizations,
                          licenses and permits necessary to carry on the
                          business in which it is engaged and to own and use the
                          properties owned and used by it.

                          When used in this Agreement, "material adverse effect"
                          means, when used in connection with BFS, BTI or the
                          Company, as the case may be, any state of facts,
                          change, event, condition, matter, effect or occurrence
                          that is or is reasonably likely to be materially
                          adverse to the business, condition (financial or
                          otherwise), properties, assets, liabilities, earnings,
                          capitalization, shareholders' equity, operations or
                          prospects of such party and its subsidiaries, taken as
                          a whole, as the case may be; provided, however, that
                          any state of facts, change, effect or occurrence
                          relating to the economy in general or such entity's
                          industry in general and not specifically relating to
                          such entity shall not be taken into account in
                          determining whether there has been or would be a
                          "material adverse effect" on or with respect to such
                          entity. "Materially adverse" with respect to BFS and
                          BTI means any such state of facts, change, event,
                          condition, matter, effect, or occurrence or any
                          related set of similar such states of facts, changes,
                          events, conditions, matters, effects or occurrences of
                          a magnitude affecting BFS or BTI in an aggregate
                          amount of $50,000 or greater.

                          required filing, permit, authorization, consent or

                          Corporate Approvals-Beasley), each of BFS, BTI and the
                          Shareholders has the requisite individual or corporate
                          power and authority to enter into this Agreement and

                          No claim has been made by any federal, state, county,
                          local, or foreign taxing authority in a jurisdiction
                          where any of BTI and BFS does not file Tax Returns
                          that BTI and BFS or any subsidiary is or may be
                          subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no
                          foreign, federal, state, county or local tax audits or
                          administrative or judicial proceedings pending or
                          being conducted with respect to BTI, BFS or any
                          Subsidiary; no information related to Tax matters has
                          been requested by any foreign, federal, state, county
                          or local taxing authority; and, except as disclosed
                          above, no written notice indicating an intent to open
                          an audit or other review has been received by BTI, BFS

                          provision of state, local or foreign law by reason of
                          a change in accounting method initiated by BTI, BFS or
                          any of its Subsidiaries or has any knowledge that the
                          IRS has proposed any such adjustment or change in
                          accounting method, or has any application pending with
                          any taxing authority requesting permission for any
                          changes in accounting methods that relate to their
                          business or operations. Neither BTI nor BFS has been a
                          United States real property holding corporation within

                          of the Code and are not liable for the Taxes of
                          another person that is not a subsidiary of any of them
                          (A) under Treas. Reg. ss. 1.1502-6 (or comparable

                          any tax sharing agreement. Neither BTI nor BFS has
                          made any payments, is obligated to make payments or is
                          a party to an agreement that could obligate it to make
                          any payments that would not be deductible under ss.
                          280G of the Code.

                          no event has occurred and no condition exists, with
                          respect to any Employee Plan, that has subjected or
                          could subject BTI or BFS or any of their subsidiaries
                          or any Employee Plan, to any tax, fine, penalty or

                          a liability arising in the normal course to make
                          contributions or payments, as applicable, when

                          transactions contemplated hereby. No Employee Plan or
                          arrangement exists which could result in the payment

                          any current or former employee of BTI or BFS or any of
                          their subsidiaries that would not have been required
                          but for the transactions provided for herein, and none
                          of BTI or BFS or any of their subsidiaries is a party
                          to any plan, program, arrangement or understanding
                          that could in connection with the transactions

                          Section 280G of the Code with respect to a current or
                          former employee of, or current or former independent
                          contractor to, BTI or BFS.

                  (r)     Insurance. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(r), BFS
                          and BTI presently maintain and have maintained in
                          effect since their formation all the insurance
                          policies required by applicable law or reasonably
                          appropriate, as determined by BFS or BTI in exercise
                          of reasonable business judgment, not inconsistent with
                          industry standards in the areas in which BFS and BTI
                          conduct business operations, in connection with the
                          operation of their business as presently conducted.
                          Schedule 2.1(r) (Insurance-Beasley) lists the
                          aggregate coverage amount and type and generally
                          applicable deductibles of all policies of title,
                          liability, fire, casualty, business interruption,
                          workers' compensation, disability and other forms of
                          insurance insuring the properties, assets and
                          operations of the business of each of BFS and BTI.
                          Except as set forth in Schedule 2.1(r), all such
                          policies and bonds are in full force and effect.
                          Except as set forth in Schedule 2.1(r), there is no
                          claim by either BFS or BTI pending under any of such
                          policies or bonds as to which coverage has been
                          questioned, denied or disputed by the underwriters of
                          such policies or bonds. Except as set forth on
                          Schedule 2.1(r), all insurance policies in force and
                          effect on the Closing Date shall inure to the benefit
                          of the Company.

                          taxes.

         5.2      Certain Tax Matters. During the period from the date of this
                  Agreement to the Closing: (i) BFS and BTI will timely file all
                  Tax Returns ("Post-Signing Returns") required by the Code or
                  by applicable state, local or foreign tax laws to be filed by
                  each such entity (after taking into account any extensions);
                  (ii) the Shareholders will timely pay all Taxes due and

                  books and records and financial statements in accordance with

                  (collectively, "Actions") pending against or with respect to
                  any of them in respect of any Tax where there is a reasonable
                  possibility of a determination or decision which would have a
                  material adverse effect on any of BFS's or BTI's Tax
                  liabilities or Tax attributes; (v) neither BFS nor BTI will
                  make any material tax election not in accordance with past
                  practice without the Company's consent; and (vi) BFS and BTI
                  will remain as S Corporations until the Closing Date.

         5.3      Other Actions. Unless approved in writing by the Company,
                  neither BFS nor BTI shall take any action or permit any action
                  to occur that might reasonably be expected to result in any of
                  the representations and warranties of BFS and BTI contained in
                  this Agreement becoming untrue after the date hereof or any of
                  the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article 7 of this
                  Agreement not being satisfied.

                                    (the "Claimant") shall give written notice
                                    to the party from whom indemnification is
                                    sought (the "Indemnitor") promptly after the
                                    Claimant learns of the claim or

                                       29

<PAGE>

                                    proceeding, provided that the failure to
                                    give such notice shall not relieve the
                                    Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder
                                    except to the extent it is actually damaged
                                    thereby.

                          (2)       With respect to any third-party claims or
                                    proceedings as to which the Claimant is
                                    entitled to indemnification after
                                    satisfaction of any applicable Basket, the
                                    Indemnitor shall have the right to select
                                    and employ counsel of its own choosing to
                                    defend against any such claim or proceeding,
                                    to assume control of the defense of such
                                    claim or proceeding, and to compromise,
                                    settle or otherwise dispose of the same, if
                                    the Indemnitor deems it advisable to do so,
                                    all at the expense of the Indemnitor. No
                                    settlement, compromise or disposition shall
                                    be made without the prior consent of the
                                    Claimant, which consent shall not be
                                    unreasonably withheld; provided, however, no
                                    consent need be given if there is not a
                                    general release given to the Claimant or if
                                    any injunctive relief is imposed on the
                                    Claimant. The parties will fully cooperate
                                    in any such action, and shall make available
                                    to each other any books or records useful
                                    for the defense of any such claim or
                                    proceeding. The Claimant may elect to
                                    participate in the defense of any such third
                                    party claim, and may, at its sole expense,
                                    retain separate counsel in connection
                                    therewith. Subject to the foregoing the
                                    Claimant shall not settle or compromise any
                                    such third party claim without the prior
                                    consent of the Indemnitor, which consent
                                    shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                  (d)     Limitation on Indemnification Rights.
                          ------------------------------------

                          (1)       It is understood and agreed that no claim
                                    for recovery of indemnifiable damages may be
                                    asserted based on a representation, warranty
                                    or applicable portion thereof set forth in
                                    this Agreement after it has been
                                    extinguished in accordance with Section 6.5
                                    (d) (2) hereof, except as to any matters
                                    with respect to which a bona fide written
                                    claim shall have been made or an action at
                                    law or in equity shall have commenced before
                                    such date, in which event survival shall
                                    continue (but only with respect to and to
                                    the extent of, such claim or action) until
                                    the final resolution of such claim or
                                    action, including all applicable periods of
                                    appeal.

                          (2)       Notwithstanding any other provision of this
                                    Agreement, neither party shall be entitled
                                    to indemnification from the other(s) under
                                    the provisions of this Section 6.5 until the
                                    aggregate of any and all Losses, inclusive
                                    of those relating to a possible violation of
                                    the Emergency Planning Community Right to
                                    Know Act, 42 USC

                                    ss. 11001 et seq., affecting the Real
                                    Estate, suffered by the Indemnified Company
                                    Parties or the Indemnified Shareholder
                                    Parties exceeds the sum of $50,000 (the
                                    "Basket"), whereupon the Indemnified Company
                                    Parties or the Indemnified Shareholder
                                    Parties shall thereafter be entitled to
                                    indemnification for all Losses suffered by
                                    them which arise under the provisions of
                                    Section 6.5 (a) on a dollar-for-dollar basis
                                    (other than the above-described one-time
                                    $50,000 deductible) as they occur; provided
                                    that such requirement of an aggregate of
                                    $50,000 of Losses shall not apply to Losses
                                    in the case of fraud or for breach of the
                                    representations in Section 2.1 (a), (b),
                                    (c), (d), (e), (f), (i), Section 2.2 or
                                    Section 3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the
                                    contrary in this Agreement, the maximum
                                    aggregate liability of the Shareholders for
                                    Losses pursuant to Section 6.5 (a) and the
                                    Company for Losses pursuant to Section 6.5
                                    (b) above is limited to $3,000,000.

                  (e)     Remedy for Damages. The indemnification obligations of
                          the parties set forth in this Section 6.5 shall not
                          constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the
                          parties for the recovery of money damages with respect
                          to any and all matters arising out of this Agreement.
                          It is specifically understood that the Company and
                          SFSI may also and additionally elect to (i) off set
                          any payments due under the Note and/or (ii) foreclose
                          on the Shares, as provided in the Pledge and Escrow
                          Agreement, in the event that any Indemnified Company
                          Party sustains or incurs in any Losses in excess of
                          the Basket subject to and as provided above in Section
                          6.5(d)(2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of
                          this Section 6.5 shall not be construed as limiting in
                          any way whatsoever any remedy to which any party may
                          be entitled other than the recovery of money damages,
                          including but not limited to equitable remedies,
                          specific performance, injunctive relief and
                          rescission.

         6.6      Nature and Survival of Representations.
                  --------------------------------------

                  (a)      Notwithstanding any right of any party (whether or
                           not exercised) to investigate the accuracy of the
                           representations and warranties of the other party
                           contained in this Purchase Agreement, BFS, BTI, the

                           Purchase Agreement.

                  (b)      The representations, warranties, covenants and
                           agreements of BFS, BTI and the Shareholders, as
                           applicable, will survive the relevant Closing:

                                    respect to the representations and

                           been timely given under Section 6.5 on or prior to
                           such termination date, until the related claim for
                           indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise
                           resolved as provided in Section 6.5.

         6.7      Limitations on Transfer of Shares; Rights of First Refusal.
                  ----------------------------------------------------------

                  (a)     In addition to the restrictions on transfer of the
                          Shares existing under the Securities Act, the
                          Shareholders agree that none of them shall sell,
                          assign, pledge, mortgage, encumber, hypothecate or
                          otherwise dispose of or transfer (or suffer any of the
                          foregoing to occur) their Shares, whether voluntarily
                          or involuntarily or by operation of law or otherwise
                          (any such transaction being hereinafter called a
                          "Transfer"), for a period of two (2) years from the
                          Closing Date; provided that CB may Transfer his
                          Shares, subject to the securities laws of the United
                          States and state securities laws and the provisions of
                          Section 6.7(b) before such two years term if his
                          employment with the Company or any of its affiliates
                          is terminated by the Company "without cause" or is
                          terminated by CB for "good reason", and such good
                          reason is not challenged by the Company or, if
                          challenged, is adjudicated in favor of CB. The terms
                          "without cause" and "good reason" shall have the
                          meaning ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement.

                  (b)      After the restrictive period described in Section 6.7
                          (a), or if CB's employment is terminated without cause
                          or is terminated by CB for "good reason", and such
                          good reason is not challenged by the Company or, if
                          challenged, is adjudicated in favor of CB, the Shares
                          may be Transferred only in compliance with the
                          provisions of this Section 6.7 (b):

                          (1)       If any Shareholder shall at any time receive
                                    a bona fide offer from a third party ("Third
                                    Party Transferee") to transfer any of the

                                    "Company's Offer Period"), the Company may
                                    elect to purchase all or any portion of the
                                    Offered Shares by delivering to the selling
                                    Shareholder notice of the Company's election
                                    to purchase the Offered Shares (such notice
                                    being hereinafter referred to as the
                                    "Company's Acceptance"). The Company's
                                    Acceptance shall be deemed to be an
                                    irrevocable commitment by the Company to
                                    purchase from the selling Shareholder the
                                    Offered Shares at the Company Offer Price.

                          (3)       If the Company does not elect to purchase
                                    any of the Offered Shares available for
                                    purchase, the selling Shareholder may,
                                    within a period of two months from the date
                                    of the Notice of Offer sell the Offered
                                    Shares not purchased by the Company to the
                                    Third-Party Transferee that made the
                                    Third-Party Offer, for aggregate
                                    consideration not less than the Offer Price,
                                    and on such terms and conditions as are no
                                    more favorable to the Third-Party Transferee
                                    than the Offer Terms. Upon any such sale,
                                    Third-Party Transferee that acquires any of
                                    the Offered Shares shall acquire them
                                    subject to the securities laws of the United
                                    States and the existing blue sky laws. If
                                    the selling Shareholder does not complete
                                    the Shareholder Sale within such two-month
                                    period, the provisions of this Section
                                    6.7(b) shall again apply as if the selling
                                    Shareholder had not originally delivered a
                                    Notice of Offer.

                          (4)       If the Company elects to purchase the
                                    Offered Shares, the closing of the purchase
                                    of the Offered Shares by the Company
                                    pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall take
                                    place within ten (10) days after the
                                    expiration of the Company's Offer Period, at
                                    such time and place as the parties to the
                                    sale may agree. At such closing,
                                    simultaneously with the delivery by the
                                    selling Shareholder of certificate(s)
                                    representing the Offered Shares, the Company
                                    shall deliver to the selling Shareholder an
                                    amount, in cash in immediately available
                                    funds (to the extent the consideration
                                    therefore is payable in cash) equal to the
                                    product of the Company Offered Price
                                    multiplied by the number of Offered Shares.

                                    Offered Shares and, for any reason, fails to
                                    purchase the Offered Shares on the terms
                                    specified in this Section 6.7, then, in

MBBRAMAR,  INC.
10780  Santa  Monica  Boulevard,  Suite  240
Los  Angeles,  CA  90025
Attn:  Sid  Rosenblatt

Dear  Mr.  Rosenblatt:

     This  will confirm our understanding concerning the proposed acquisition of
CardReady  International,  Inc.,  a  California  corporation  ("CardReady")  and
majority-owned subsidiary of MBBRAMAR, INC., a California corporation ("MBB") by
Single  Source  Financial  Services Corporation, a New York Corporation ("SSFS")
(the  "Transaction").  This  letter  does not contain all terms of the agreement
that  must  be  reached  in  order for the Transaction to be consummated, but is
intended  as  an  outline  of  certain  material  provisions  and  to  create an
irrevocable  option  in  favor  of  SSFS.  The terms of our understanding are as
follows:

     A.     MBB owns over 96% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of
CardReady,  including  options, warrants, and other instruments convertible into
voting  securities  (the  "CardReady  Shares").

     B.     MBB  is  controlled  by  certain individuals who are shareholders of
SSFS.

     C.     MBB  hereby  grants  to  SSFS  an  exclusive irrevocable option (the
"Option"),  exercisable  at  any time on thirty (30) days written notice (unless
extended  because of the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
SSFS'  principal exchange, or the corporate laws of the State of New York) for a
period  of  eighteen  (18) months from the date hereof (the "Option Period"), to
acquire  all  of the CardReady Shares, including any CardReady securities issued
to  MBB  between  the  date  hereof and the date of exercise of said option.  As
consideration  for  MBB  granting  SSFS  the  Option,  SSFS  agrees that if SSFS
exercises  the  Option  during the Option Period, the purchase price it will pay
for  the  CardReady Shares, plus any additional CardReady securities as outlined
above,  will  be equal to the value of CardReady as determined by an agreed-upon
third  party valuation (the "CardReady Value") divided by fifty percent (50%) of
the  lowest  closing  bid  price  for  SSFS  common stock during the thirty (30)
trading  days  prior  to  the  closing,  but in no event will the purchase price
exceed  thirty  million  (30,000,000)  shares  of  SSFS  (the  "SSFS  Shares").

     D.     As additional consideration for the grant of the Option, SSFS agrees
to, within ninety (90) days of the date of this agreement, loan to CardReady the
sum  of $500,000, payable in traunches as agreed between the parties, bearing no
interest  and  repayable in a balloon payment at the end of three (3) years from
the  date  hereof.

<PAGE>

     E.     The  SSFS Shares shall be restricted in accordance with Rule 144 and
will  carry  an  appropriate  restrictive legend, and will be further subject to
transfer  and  pledge  restrictions  as  set  forth  in  this  agreement.

     F.     The  SSFS  Shares  will  not  contain  registration  rights.
                                     ---

     G.     As  a material term of the Transaction, SSFS will acquire all of the
assets  of  CardReady  and  will  assume  all  of  the  debts and obligations of
CardReady  and  any  agreed-upon  debts  of  MBB.

     H.     For a period of three (3) years from the closing of the Transaction,
if  the closing bid price of SSFS common stock as quoted on its primary exchange
is  less  than  $1.00  per share for thirty (30) consecutive trading days, or if
SSFS  common stock is not listed for trading on any public exchange for a period
of thirty (30) consecutive trading days, or if the trading volume of SSFS common
stock  on  its  primary exchange is less than 250,000 shares per month for three
(3) consecutive full-calendar months, then MBB shall have the right, but not the
obligation,  to  purchase  the CardReady Shares back from SSFS for consideration
equal  to  the  SSFS  Shares  (as  adjusted  for  any  stock  splits  or
recapitalizations).

     I.     For a period of three (3) years from the closing of the Transaction,
if  CardReady  fails  for  a  period of thirty (30) consecutive business days to
maintain  a  relationship  with a back-end processor and a bank, then SSFS shall
have  the  right,  but not the obligation, to "put" the CardReady Shares back to
MBB for consideration equal to the SSFS Shares (as adjusted for any stock splits
or  recapitalizations).  MBB  agrees  that  it  will  not  assign,  transfer,
hypothecate, pledge, or otherwise encumber the SSFS Shares during this three (3)
year  period.

     J.     SSFS  will  maintain  from  the  date hereof until this agreement is
terminated  or  the end of the Option Period, out of its authorized but unissued
shares of common stock, that number of shares of common stock represented by the
SSFS  Shares.

     K.     Following  the  execution  of  this  agreement,  SSFS agrees to seek
shareholder  approval  of  the  Transactions  contemplated  hereby.  The parties
acknowledge  and  agree  that  although the Option can be exercised by SSFS, the
closing  of  the  Transaction  cannot  occur  until  it  is approved by the SSFS
shareholders.

     The  parties  agree  on  the  business day after this letter is executed to
issue  a  press  release  in  the  form  of  Exhibit  A  attached  hereto.

     Following  the date of exercise of the Option, the parties will cause their
respective  officers,  employees,  counsel,  agents,  investment  bankers,
accountants,  and  other representatives working on the Transaction to cooperate
with  each  other  with  respect  to  the  Transaction  until the Transaction is
consummated  or negotiations with respect thereto are terminated.  If MBB and/or
CardReady  do  not  conduct  the  business  and  operations  of CardReady in the
ordinary  course,  unless  consented  to  by  SSFS, then SSFS may terminate this
option  agreement  immediately,  in  its  sold  discretion.

<PAGE>

     Following  the  date  hereof,  MBB  and  CardReady  agree  that  until  the
Transaction  is consummated, or until termination of the Option, whichever shall
occur first, to conduct the business and operations of CardReady in all respects
only  in  the  ordinary course unless otherwise consented to in writing by SSFS.

     Following  the date hereof, the parties agree that until the Transaction is
consummated,  or  until  termination of the Option, whichever shall occur first,
each  party  will afford to the officers, employees, counsel, agents, investment
bankers,  accountants,  and  other representatives of the other party working on
the Transaction and lenders, investors, and prospective lenders and investors of
SSFS  free  and  full access to its plants, properties, books, and records, will
permit them to make extracts from and copies of such books and records, and will
from time to time furnish them with such additional financial and operating data
and  other  information  as  to  its financial condition, results of operations,
business, properties, assets, liabilities, or future prospects as they from time
to  time  may  request.  Each  party will cause its independent certified public
accountants  to  make available to the other party and its independent certified
public  accountant,  the  work  papers  relating  to  any audit of its financial
statements  in  the  last  five  years.

     Each  party shall insure that all confidential information which such party
or  any  of  its  respective  officers,  directors,  employees, counsel, agents,
investment  bankers,  or  accountants  and,  in  the  case of SSFS, its lenders,
investors,  or prospective lenders or investors may now possess or may hereafter
create  or  obtain  relating  to the financial condition, results of operations,
business,  properties,  assets,  liabilities,  or  future prospects of the other
party,  any  affiliate  of  the other party, or any customer of supplier of such
other  party  or  any  such affiliate shall not be published, disclosed, or made
accessible  by  any of them to any other person or entity at any time or used by
any  of them, in each case without the prior written consent of the other party;
provided, however, that the restrictions of this sentence shall not apply (a) as
may  otherwise  be  required  by  law, (b) as may be necessary or appropriate in
connection  with  the  enforcement  of  this  Agreement,  (c) to the extent such
information  shall  have otherwise become publicly available, or (d) as to SSFS,
to disclose by or on its behalf to lenders, investors, or prospective lenders or
investors  or to others whose consent may be required or desirable in connection
with  obtaining  the  financing  or  consents which are required or desirable to
consummate the Transaction.  Each party shall, and shall cause all of such other
persons  and  entities who received confidential data from it to, deliver to the
other  party all tangible evidence of such confidential information to which the
restrictions  of  the foregoing sentence apply at such time as negotiations with
respect  to  the  Transaction  are  terminated before the parties enter into any
formal  agreement  as  contemplated  by  this  letter  of  intent.
