                              30th September 2000

Dear Raymond:

Further to our recent discussions meetings I am pleased to be able to offer my
services to Authoriszor Inc. (the "Company") as a non-executive director subject
to the following terms and conditions as set out in this letter (the
"Agreement").

My appointment shall be deemed to have commenced with effect from 18th October
2000 and shall continue unless terminated by either myself or the Company.  It
is expected that my initial appointment will be for a period of not less than 3
years.  I may terminate my service as a director by submitting my resignation as
a director and by giving at least three (3) months written notice to the Company
with respect to such resignation.  If the Company requests that I resign as a
director, I will do so, provided that the Company gives me at least three months
written notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, my service as a director shall
terminate immediately if (i) I fail to be elected at any stockholder meeting in
which directors are elected; (ii) I am removed as a director by the action of
the stockholders of the Company; or (iii) the Board of Directors in the exercise
of its fiduciary duty shall have determined that I should be removed as a
director for cause.

During the term of my engagement as a non-executive director of the Company I
shall use my best endeavours to promote the interest of the Company and its
subsidiaries as required for the proper performance of my duties as a non-
executive director of the Company.  Such duties include without limitation the
provisions of my time for preparation for and attendance at board meetings and
committees of the company (including audit and remuneration committee if so
required) and other duties as may be agreed between us from time to time.  The
Company will use all reasonable endeavours to notify me well in advance as to
when board and other meetings are planned.  I will perform my duties at the
relevant Company's premises, or elsewhere as agreed between us.

In consideration of the services to be rendered by me to the Company, the
Company shall pay to me a fee of $48,000 per annum (the "Fee").  The Fee will be
payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each such month subject to me
previously rendering an invoice in respect thereof to the Company.  Furthermore,
the Company proposes to grant to me an option to purchase 100,000 shares of
common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to the closing price of
the Company's common stock on Nasdaq on the effective date of this agreement
(October 18, 2000) in accordance with the Company's 2000 Omnibus Stock and
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), and subject to the terms and conditions contained
in a Stock Option Agreement between myself and the Company.  The Stock Option
Agreement shall provide that the option shall become exercisable for a three (3)
year term if, and when, I am re-elected to the Board of Directors at the
Company's 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the Plan is approved by the
Stockholders at the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  The Stock Option
Agreement shall terminate upon the effective date of my resignation from the
Board of Directors and shall otherwise be in
<PAGE>

a form substantially similar to the Company's Stock Option Agreement with
yourself, including, but not limited, to the termination provisions and the
definition of termination for "cause" set forth therein.

The Company will reimburse me for any reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred
in the performance of my duties.  If requested I must produce to the Company any
receipts or other evidence of actual payment of my expenses as the Company may
reasonably require.  In addition, the Company will reimburse me for reasonable
travelling expenses incurred and mileage driven by me on the Company's business
at the rate of 80p per mile.

In consideration of my entering into this Agreement I hereby warrant and
undertake to the Company that in entering into and performing my duties
hereunder that I am not subject to any restriction which might hinder or prevent
me from fully performing any of my duties and that I am not in breach of any
other contract.

During the course of this Agreement I acknowledge that I will have access to
confidential information which shall include all information which is of a
confidential nature and of a value to the Company and its subsidiaries.  Such
information shall include (in particular but without limitations) information
concerning goods or services, know-how, research and development and development
and business method, production and manufacturing processes, suppliers,
customers, financial position and all business affairs of the Company and its
subsidiaries generally which shall not include information which has come into
the public domain other than as a result of wrongful disclosure by me.  Without
the Company's consent in writing, I shall not use or disclose any confidential
information except as necessary to provide my services hereunder and further
after termination of this Agreement (howsoever occurring) I will not for any
reason without the Company's prior written consent use or disclose any
confidential information nor cause it to be used or to be disclosed through any
failure to exercise due care or due diligence without limits of point of time.
Further, on termination of this Agreement under any circumstances I shall return
to the Company in good condition (fair wear and tear excepted) all of the
Company's property in my possession or control together with all materials in my
possession or control which relate to the Company and it subsidiaries and I
shall not return copies thereof.  Finally, upon termination of this Agreement by
myself or the Company, as the case may be, I will not at any time represent
myself at any time thereafter or cause or permit myself to represent to any
other person or entity as being in any way still connected with the Company or
any of its subsidiaries.  Additionally, I acknowledge that I will be subject to,
and will comply with, the Company's Insider Trading Policy, as amended or
supplemented from time to time, for the duration of this Agreement.

I acknowledge that I am not an employee of the Company and accordingly I shall
be responsible for and shall indemnify the Company against any claims made by
any competent authority against the Company in respect of any income tax,
national insurance or similar contributions or any other taxation in each case
relating to the provision of my services hereunder.

This Agreement is governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Notices shall be delivered by hand or registered first class post to the office
of the Company as set forth above.

I may notify any change of address in writing to the Company's office as set
forth above, any notice delivered by hand shall be served at the time of
delivery, notices sent by post shall be served 96 hours after the time of
posting in proving service it shall be sufficient to prove that hand delivery
was made or that the envelope containing the notice was properly addressed as
the case maybe.

termination.

arrangement you wish to discuss or have clarified please do not hesitate to

     The Company may unilaterally terminate the Employee's employment hereunder
     "for just cause" at any time during the term of this agreement. Termination
     of the Employee's employment by the Company shall constitute a termination
     "for just cause" if such termination is for one or more of the following
     causes: (i) willful misconduct of the Employee in connection with the
     performance of his assigned duties; (ii) the Employee's willful, material
     breach of this Agreement or the willful breach of duties, which results in
     damage or injury to the Company or adversely affects the business
     activities, operations, reputation, goodwill or image of the Company or its
     customers, (iii) the conviction of the Employee of a felony or proven
     commission (i.e., a substantiated allegation) of an act of fraud or
     embezzlement, either in connection with the performance of his obligations
     to the Company or which materially adversely affects the Employee's ability
     to perform such obligations, or which adversely affects the business
     activities, operations, reputation, goodwill or image of the Company; (iv)

     intellectual property of the Company,

Mr. Alec Karys
October 12, 2000
Page 3

     including without limitation any trade secrets of any third party.

     Any action or inaction or omission on the Employee's part shall be
     considered willful if taken, or omitted to be taken, as the case may be, by
     the Employee without a reasonable belief that the action or omission was in
     the best interest of the Company or that the act or omission was in good
     faith. After notice of termination for cause has been delivered to the
     Employee, the Employee shall be entitled to have the grounds for
     termination of employment reviewed by the Board of Directors, provided such
     entitlement to review shall not serve to extend the date upon which the
     termination of employment shall become effective. In making any
     determination under this Section, the Board of Directors shall act fairly
     and in utmost good faith and shall give the Employee an opportunity to
     appear and be heard with counsel at a meeting of the Board of Directors and
     present evidence on his behalf.

     In the event of any such termination for "cause," the Employee shall be
     entitled to receive upon termination to: (i) earned and unpaid salary,
     bonus and vacation through the termination date, (ii) benefits for the
     applicable period permitted by statute, provided

     Employee makes the appropriate voluntary contribution payments, and subject
     to applicable law and the requirements of the Company's health and
     insurance plans then in effect, (iii) vested options (to the extent then
     vested) and (iv) no other severance or other compensation benefits, other
     than payments which are required by law to be provided to all discharged
     employees.

(d)  Voluntary Termination.  The Employee may voluntarily terminate his
     employment at

     any time by providing the Company with sixty (60) days prior written notice
     of termination. In the event of any such voluntary termination by the
     Employee, the Employee shall be entitled to (i) accrued and unpaid salary,
     bonus, and vacation through the termination date, (ii) benefits for the
     applicable period permitted by statute, provided Employee makes the
     appropriate voluntary contribution payments, and subject to applicable law
     and the requirements of the Company's health and insurance plans then in
     effect, (iii) vested options (to the extent then vested) and (iv) no other
     severance or other compensation benefits, other than payments which are
     required by law to be provided to all discharged employees.

(e)  At the Election of the Company for Reasons Other Than Just Cause.  The
     Company may, immediately and unilaterally, terminate the Employee's
     employment hereunder at any time during the term of this Agreement without
     "cause" by giving thirty (30) days' advance written notice to the Employee
     of the Company's election to terminate.  During such period, the Employee
     will be available on a full-time basis for the benefit of the Company to
     assist the Company in matters relating to the transition of a new,
     successor officer of the Company.  In the event the Company exercises its
     right to terminate the Employee under this section during the first year,
     the Company agrees to pay the Employee a severance or termination payment
     of six months' base salary at the then current base rate or if greater,
<PAGE>

    the remainder of the initial employment term guarantee of twelve months,
    payable in the same manner as such salary was payable during the term of the
    Employee's employment. Such severance payment shall be payable on a monthly
    basis for the six (6) months

Mr. Alec Karys
October 12, 2000
Page 4

    following the Employee's termination and shall be subject to all applicable
    federal and state taxes, and this obligation shall survive termination of
    this Agreement. In addition, the Employee shall be entitled to (i) accrued
    and unpaid salary, bonus, and vacation through the termination date, (ii)
    Health benefits for the applicable period permitted by statute, provided
    Employee makes the appropriate voluntary contribution payments, and subject
    to applicable law and the requirements of the Company's health and insurance
    plans then in effect, (iii) vested options, and (iv) 50% of the unvested
    stock provided in this agreement.

    In the event the Company exercises its right to terminate the Employee under
    this section after the first year of employment, the Company agrees to pay
    the Employee a severance or termination payment of six months' base salary
    at the then current base rate, payable in the same manner as such salary was
    payable during the term of the Employee's employment.

    Such severance payment shall be payable on a monthly basis for the six (6)
    months following the Employee's termination and shall be subject to all
    applicable statutory taxes, and this obligation shall survive termination of
    this Agreement. In addition, the Employee shall be entitled to (i) accrued
    and unpaid salary, bonus, and vacation through the termination date, (ii)
    benefits for the applicable period permitted by statute, provided Employee
    makes the appropriate voluntary contribution payments, and subject to
    applicable law and the requirements of the Company's health and insurance
    plans then in effect, (iii) vested options, and (iv) 50% of the unvested
    stock provided in this agreement.

    It shall be deemed to be a constructive termination "without cause" if: (i)
    the Employee's responsibilities are reduced or diluted in any material way;
    (ii) the Employee's annual salary or bonus arrangement is reduced in any
    material way; or (iii) the Employee is relocated to another Company office
    or facility to a location outside of a radius of 100 miles from the
    Company's current facility or without the Employee's written consent; or
    (iv) there occurs a determination by the Employee made in good faith that as
    a result of any material change in the scope of the business or other
    activities for which he is responsible, he has been rendered unable to carry
    out, has been hindered in the performance of, or has suffered a reduction
    in, in a material way, of any of the authorities, powers, functions,
    responsibilities or duties attached to the officer position held by
    employee, which situation is not remedied within 30 business days after
    written notice to Company from Employee of such determination.

f)  Change of Ownership: In the event that there is a change of ownership of
    more than 50% in a single or series of transactions, the option shares'
    restrictions will be lifted and the remaining unvested shares of this
    agreement will vest and become immediately exercisable;

g)  Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance
    with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
<PAGE>

h)  Insider Trading Policy: You agree to comply with the Company's Insider
    Trading Policy ("Policy") [attached], as the Policy may be amended or
    supplemented from time to time, during your employment with the Company.
