                         EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into on this 25th
day of January, 2001, (the "Effective Date"), by and between PurchaseSoft, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation with its principal business office in the State of
Massachusetts (hereinafter the "Company"); and Jeffrey Pinkerton, a
Massachusetts resident (hereinafter "Executive").

      A. Executive has been engaged as an employee of the Company and hereby
acknowledges that he has received all compensation due him for such services.
From and after the Effective Date, Executive has been and will be employed by
the Company in the capacity of Chief Product Strategist.

and knowledge of the Company business, strategies, ethics and objectives.

      C. Executive and the Company are parties to an employment agreement dated
April 1, 1998. The Company currently needs to raise additional capital to fund
its operations and certain provisions of that agreement do and will act as an

the Company may raise additional capital to continue to operate, Executive
voluntarily rescinds and the Company accepts the rescission of that employment
agreement dated April 1, 1998. Both Executive and the Company desire to enter
into an employment agreement so that the Company may avail itself of the unique
services offered by Executive and continue in its efforts to raise additional
operating capital.

reasonable opportunity to review and approve, prior to publication, all proposed
final work product produced by VIA pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Client agrees to: (i) promptly review and approve (or provide timely feedback
regarding deficiencies in) such materials upon delivery thereof by VIA (if

Services include the delivery of multiple Deliverables to Client from which
Client is to select one (for example, names, trademarks or logos), the
Deliverables that are not selected by Client (the "NON-SELECTED DELIVERABLES")

Deliverables.

            1.3 EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS.

individuals and entities. Neither party shall have the authority to enter into
any agreement or to assume any obligation for the other, or to discipline the
other party's employees or subcontractors. Subject to the express terms,
conditions and requirements of this Agreement, VIA shall be entitled to

infringes any U.S. copyright or other domestic intellectual property right
(including, but not limited to, misappropriation of trade secrets and
infringement of any copyright in the United States, but specifically excluding
trademark claims relating to any Client Marks), but only to the extent that such

Client; or (iii) Client's use of any Third Party Content apart from a
Deliverable or other than as contemplated by this Agreement. If any Custom
Content or any part thereof becomes, or in VIA's opinion is likely to become,
the subject of a claim of infringement or misappropriation, VIA shall first
discontinue any activities that incorporate the disputed items and may then (i)
procure for Client the right to continue using the same or (ii) replace or
modify such materials to make them non-infringing. If the alternatives described

return the infringing proprietary materials and shall be entitled to a refund of

Client Mark infringes any U.S. copyright, trademark or other domestic
intellectual property right (including, but not limited to, misappropriation of
trade secrets and infringement of any copyright in the United States), (ii)
arising out of Client's alteration of final work product delivered by VIA and
accepted by Client; or (iii) arising out of Client's use of any Third Party
Content apart from a Deliverable or other than as contemplated by this
Agreement.

claiming indemnification (the "CLAIMANT") shall promptly provide the other party

assist in the defense if it so chooses, provided that the other party shall
control such defense and all negotiations relative to the settlement of any such
claim and further provided that any settlement intended to bind the Claimant
shall not be final without the Claimant's written consent. Furthermore, the
parties intend that their indemnification obligations include any claims
relating to workers compensation for which they would not be liable absent such
