                              INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
                              -------------------

         This Indemnity Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of August 21, 2000 by
and between eBT International, Inc., formerly known as Inso Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and ("Indemnitee").

                                   RECITALS

         WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve
publicly-held corporations as directors or in other capacities unless they are
provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification
against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their
service to and activities on behalf of the corporation.

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has
determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the
Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense,
liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries
from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a
customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and
other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market
conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only
at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors,
officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises
are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation
relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been
brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself. The By-laws of
the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the
Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the
Delaware General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL"). The By-laws
and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth
therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered
into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and
other persons with respect to indemnification.

         WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to
indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such
persons.

         WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in
attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of
the Company's stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such
persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future.

         WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company
contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf
of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they
will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they
will not be so indemnified.

                                      -1-

      WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the
By-laws of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto and shall
not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of
Indemnitee thereunder.

      WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the
Company's By-laws and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and
may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate
protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity.
Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional
service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he be so
indemnified.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants
contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as
follows:

      1.    Services to the Company. Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve,
at the will of the Company, as an officer, director or key employee of the
Company for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until
Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation.

      2.    Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

                  (ii)  Change in Board of Directors. During any period of two
(2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this
Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the
Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who
has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described
in Sections 2(a)(i), 2(a)(iii) or 2(a)(iv)) whose election by the Board or
nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of
at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were
directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for
election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a least
a majority of the members of the Board;

                  (iii) Corporate Transactions. The effective date of a merger
or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company

securities of the surviving entity) more than 51% of the combined voting power
of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after
such merger or consolidation and with the power to elect at least a majority of
the board of directors or other governing body of such surviving entity;

in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Beneficial Owner
shall exclude any Person otherwise becoming a Beneficial Owner by reason of the
stockholders of the Company approving a merger of the Company with another
entity.

            (e)   "Corporate Status" describes the status of a person who is or
was a director, officer, trustee, general partner, managing member, fiduciary,

is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification
is sought by Indemnitee.

            (g)   "Enterprise" shall mean the Company and any other corporation,
limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director, officer, trustee, general partner, managing member,
fiduciary, employee or agent.

            (h)   "Expenses" shall include all reasonable attorneys' fees,

without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any
cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. Expenses,
however, shall

not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments
or fines against Indemnitee.

            (i)   Reference to "other enterprise" shall include employee benefit
plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise tax assessed with respect
to any employee benefit plan; references to "serving at the request of the
Company" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of

manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants
and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Company" as referred to in this
Agreement.

            (j)   The term "Proceeding" shall include any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism,
investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened
or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or
otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
nature, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise
by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the
Company, by reason of any action taken (or failure to act) by him or of any
action (or failure to act) on his part while acting as director or officer of
the Company, or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, general partner, managing
member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise, in each case
whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is
incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of expenses
can be provided under this Agreement.

            (k)   "Independent Counsel" means a law firm, or a member of a law
firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently
is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company
or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with
respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other
indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party
to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Independent Counsel" shall not include
any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then
prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company
or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee's rights under this
Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel
against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

      3.    Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is,
or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness or
otherwise) in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the
Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, fines,
penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments
and other charges paid or payable in connection

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts
paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his
behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein,
if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a
criminal proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.

      4.    Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a
participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding by or in the right of
the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any
claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been
finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the
extent that any court in which the Proceeding was brought or the Delaware Court
of Chancery shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

      5.    Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly
Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the
extent that Indemnitee is a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on
the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is
successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all
claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on
his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.
If the Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding, the Company also
shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with a claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or matter
on which the Indemnitee was successful. For purposes of this Section and without
limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding
by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful
result as to such claim, issue or matter.

      6.    Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his
Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a
party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

      7.    Additional Indemnification.

            (a)   Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, the
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if
Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding
(including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment
in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid
in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or
payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines,
penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. No indemnity shall be made under
this Section 7(a) on account of Indemnitee's conduct which constitutes a breach
of Indemnitee's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders or is an act
or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of the law.

            (b)   For purposes of Section 7(a), the meaning of the phrase "to
the fullest extent permitted by law" shall include, but not be limited to:

                  (i)   to the fullest extent permitted by the provision of the
DGCL that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or
the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the DGCL, and

                  (ii)  to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any
amendments to or replacements of the DGCL adopted after the date of this
Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its
officers and directors.

      8.    Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the
Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in
connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

            (a)   for which payment has actually been received by or on behalf
of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except
with respect to any excess beyond the amount actually received under any
insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or

            (b)   for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale
(or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the
meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of state
statutory law or common law; or

            (c)   except as otherwise provided in Sections 13(d)-(f) hereof,
prior to a Change in Control, in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of
any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part
of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors,
officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of Directors of
the Company authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to
its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole
discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.

                                      -6-

      9.    Advances of Expenses; Defense of Claim.

            (a)   Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Company shall advance the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with any Proceeding within ten (10) days after the receipt by the
Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time,
whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be
unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to
Indemnitee's ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee's
ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this
Agreement. Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred
pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses
incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the
advances claimed. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances solely upon the
execution and delivery to the Company of an undertaking providing that the
Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance to the extent that it is ultimately
determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
This Section 9(a) shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which
indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 8.

            (b)   The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding
at its own expense.

            (c)   The Company shall not settle any action, claim or Proceeding
(in whole or in part) which would impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or
limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee's prior written consent.

      10.   Procedure for Notification and Application for Indemnification.

            (a)   Within sixty (60) days after the actual receipt by Indemnitee
of notice that he or she is a party to or a participant (as a witness or
otherwise) in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written
notice identifying the Proceeding. The omission by the Indemnitee to notify the
Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to
Indemnitee (i) otherwise than under this Agreement, and (ii) under this
Agreement only to the extent the Company can establish that such omission to
notify resulted in actual prejudice to the Company.

            (b)   Indemnitee shall thereafter deliver to the Company a written
application to indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement. Such
application(s) may be delivered from time to time and at such time(s) as
Indemnitee deems appropriate in his or her sole discretion. Following such a
written application for indemnification by Indemnitee, the Indemnitee's
entitlement to indemnification shall be determined according to Section 11(a) of
this Agreement.

      11.   Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.

            (a)   Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification
pursuant to Section 10(b), a determination, if required by applicable law, with
respect to Indemnitee's entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case:
(i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a
quorum of the Board; or (ii) if so requested by the Indemnitee in his or her
sole discretion, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a
copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee. If it is so determined that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made
within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably
cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with
respect to Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification, including providing to
such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation
or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure
and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such
determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons
or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective
of the determination as to Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification) and the
Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

            (b)   In the event the determination of entitlement to
indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a)
hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section
11(b). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel
shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written
notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so
selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel
shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such
selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the preceding
sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company
advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either
event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after
such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the
Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such
selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the
           --------  -------
ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements
of "Independent Counsel" as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the
objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such
assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall
act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and
substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent
Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent
jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20
days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification
pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been
selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a
court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have
been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other's selection of Independent
Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected
by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the
person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so
appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof. Upon the
due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and
relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the
applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

            (c)   The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of Independent
Counsel and to fully indemnify such Independent Counsel against any and all
Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

      12.   Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

            (a)   In making a determination with respect to entitlement to
indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such
determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in
accordance with Section 10(b) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the
burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by
any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.
Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or independent
legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any
action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the
circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor
an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or
independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard
of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that
Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

            (b)   If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under
Section 11 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after
receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of
entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee
shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by
Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to
make Indemnitee's statement not materially misleading, in connection with the
request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under
applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a
reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person,
persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to
indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or
evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.

            (c)   The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or
matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly
---- ----------
provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee
to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding,
that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

            (d)   Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any determination of
                  -----------------------
good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if
Indemnitee's action is based on the records

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on
information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the
course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or
on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an
independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert
selected by the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall not be
deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which
the Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in this Agreement.

            (e)   Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to
                  -----------------
act, of any other director, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary,
officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee
for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

      13.   Remedies of Indemnitee.

            (a)   In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to
Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant
to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to
indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement
within 45 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification,
(iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5, 6, 7 or the
last sentence of Section 11(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after
receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of
indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement is not made within
ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of
his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.
Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be
conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee's
right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

            (b)   In the event that a determination shall have been made
pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to
this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or
arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of
that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced
pursuant to this Section 13 the Company shall have the burden of proving
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the
case may be, and the Company may not refer to or introduce into evidence any
determination pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement adverse to Indemnitee
for any purpose. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration
pursuant to this Section 13, Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the
Company for any advances pursuant to Section 9 until a final determination is
made with respect to Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification (as to which
all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed).

            (c)   If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section
11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the
Company shall be bound by such

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to
this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or
an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee's statement not
materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or
(ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

            (d)   In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 13,
seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his
rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the
Company against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in
such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in said
judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part
but not all of the indemnification or advancement of Expenses sought, the
Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be
indemnified by the Company against, any and all Expenses reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration.

            (e)   The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial
proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the
procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and
enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator
that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

            (f)   The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent
permitted by law against all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall
(within ten (10) days after the Company's receipt of such written request)
advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with any judicial proceeding or arbitration brought by Indemnitee for
(i) indemnification or advances of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement
or any other agreement or provision of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws now or hereafter in effect or (ii) recovery or advances
under any insurance policy maintained by any person for the benefit of
Indemnitee, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be
entitled to such indemnification, advance or insurance recovery, as the case may
be.

      14.   Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

            (a)   The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of
Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable
law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's By-laws, any
agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No
amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof
shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect
of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior
to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware
law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or
advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Company's
By-laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by
such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of
any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative
and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

            (b)   To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy
or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, trustees,
partners, managing members, fiduciaries, employees, or agents of the Company or
of any other Enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company,
Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or
their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such
director, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, officer, employee or
agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice
from any source of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee is a party or a
participant (as a witness or otherwise), the Company has director and officer
liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such
Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or
desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all
amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of
such policies.

            (c)   In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company
shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of
recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all
action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as
are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

            (d)   The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make
any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable (or for which advancement is
provided hereunder) hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise
actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement
or otherwise.

            (e)   The Company's obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses
hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or
agent of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has
actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such
Enterprise.

      15.   Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and
terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee
shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or as a
director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or
agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee served at the request of the
Company; or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding
(including any rights of appeal thereto) then pending in respect of which
Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses
hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13
of this Agreement relating thereto (including any rights of appeal of any
Section 13 Proceeding).

                                     -12-

      16.   Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall
be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a)
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this
Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be
deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give
the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest
extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to
the intent manifested thereby.

      17.   Enforcement and Binding Effect.

            (a)   The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered
into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to
induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the
Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving
as a director or officer of the Company.

            (b)   This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

            (c)   The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by,
or granted pursuant to this Agreement shall continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

      18.   Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties
hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or
shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall
any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

      19.   Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the
Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena,
complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding
or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses
covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not
relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under
this Agreement or otherwise.

      20.   Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given (a) if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said
notice or other communication shall have been directed,

                                     -13-

or (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third
business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

            (a)   If to Indemnitee, at the address indicated on the signature
page of this Agreement, or such other address as Indemnitee shall provide in
writing to the Company.

            (b)   If to the Company to:

                                    eBT International, Inc.
                                    299 Promenade Street
                                    Providence, RI 02908
                                    Attention: General Counsel

or to any other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee in writing by
the Company.

      21.   Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable
law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to
Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying
Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for
judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an
indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair
and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order
to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a
result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding;
and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers,
employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or
transaction(s).

      22.   Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the
legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard
to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced
by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, the Company and
Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or
proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought
only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Court"), and
not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any
court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or
in connection with this Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is
not a resident of the State of Delaware, irrevocably RL&F Service Corp., One
Rodney Square, 10th Floor, 10th and King Streets, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 as
its agent in the State of Delaware as such party's agent for acceptance of legal
process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with
the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within
the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any
such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to
plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the
Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is
sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

      24.   Miscellaneous. Use of the masculine pronoun shall be deemed to

                                   THE MERGER

         1.1 The Merger.  At the  Effective  Time (as  defined in Section  1.2),
Newco will be merged with and into the Company  pursuant to this  Agreement  and
the Plan of  Merger  (the  "Plan of  Merger")  to be filed in the  Office of the

wholly-owned Subsidiary of TechSys.

         1.2 Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Board of Directors.

                 (a) At the Effective Time:

                           (i) the  articles  of  incorporation  of the  Company
shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Company, except that the
articles of  incorporation  of the Surviving  Company shall be amended to change
the name of the  Surviving  Company to Fuel Cell Cos.,  Inc.  or such other name
upon which TechSys and the Company shall agree;

                           (ii) the  bylaws  of the  Company,  as in  force  and
effect  immediately  prior to the  Effective  Time,  shall be the  bylaws of the
Surviving Company;

                           (iii) the board of directors of the Surviving Company
serving after the Merger shall be those persons  listed as directors on Schedule
1.2(a)(iii);

                           (iv) the officers of the  Surviving  Company  serving
after the Merger and the positions held by each of them shall be as set forth on
Schedule 1.2(a)(iv).

                  (b)  At  the  Effective   Time,  or  as  soon  as  practicable
thereafter,  TechSys shall file with the  Department of Treasury of the State of
New Jersey an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation changing its name to
Fuel Cell Companies, Inc., or such other name as the Parties may agree.

         1.3 Effects of the Merger.  The Merger shall have the effects  provided
therefor by Chapter 10 of the New Jersey  Business  Corporation  Act and Section
92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

         1.4 Manner of Conversion of Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of
the Merger and without any action on the part of any of TechSys,  Newco,  or the
Company, or any stockholder  thereof, the shares of capital stock of the Parties
shall be converted as follows:

                  (a)  Capital  Stock of Newco.  Each share of capital  stock of
Newco issued and  outstanding  immediately  prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted  into one fully paid and  nonassessable  share of common  stock of the
Surviving Company.

<PAGE>

                  (b)  Cancellation of Capital Stock of the Company.  Each share
of Capital  Stock of the Company  that is owned  directly or  indirectly  by the
Company and each share of Capital  Stock of the  Company  issued and held in the
Company's treasury shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no
capital stock of TechSys, cash or other consideration shall be paid or delivered
in exchange therefor.

                  (c) Issuance of Merger Consideration.

                           (i) Each share of the  Capital  Stock of the  Company
issued and outstanding  immediately  prior to the Effective Time,  excluding any
treasury   shares  and  shares  to  be  canceled   pursuant  to  this  Agreement
(collectively,  the "Company Shares"),  shall be converted at the Effective Time
into the right to receive  0.319746  shares  (the  "Exchange  Ratio") of TechSys
Common Stock (the "Merger Consideration");  provided, that, immediately upon the
consummation of the Merger,  TechSys shall effect a 1.56531 for 1 share division
of the TechSys  Common  Stock or a similarly  proportioned  stock  dividend,  in
accordance with Section 14A:7-15.1 of the New Jersey Business Corporations Act.

                           (ii) Lazar  shall  receive  such  number of shares of
TechSys Common Stock, if any, as agreed upon by the Company and Lazar,  which in
no event shall exceed an aggregate of 819,000 shares.

                           (iii)  Fractional  Shares.  No fraction of a share of
TechSys Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger.  Calculations
of the number of shares to be received  by a  shareholder  of the Company  which
result in a fractional  share equal to 0.5 or more of a share will be rounded up
to the nearest whole share of TechSys Common Stock and such  calculations  which
result in a  fractional  share  equal to 0.49 or less of a share will be rounded
down to the nearest whole share of TechSys Common Stock.

                           (iv) Company  Options and Warrants.  At the Effective
Time, other than such warrants set forth on Schedule 1.4(c)(iv),  all options or
warrants  exercisable  for or  convertible  into shares of Capital  Stock of the
Company  granted by the Company  prior to the date hereof which are  outstanding
and  unexercised  immediately  prior to the Effective Time ("Company  Derivative
Securities") shall terminate;

         1.5 Exchange of Certificates; Payment of Merger Consideration.

                  (a) Certificate Delivery  Requirements.  Immediately after the
Effective Time, the Company shall submit a form of Letter of Transmittal to each
stockholder  of the  Company,  pursuant  to which each such  stockholder  of the
Company may  surrender to TechSys the  certificates  that  represent the Company
Shares held by such stockholder (the "Certificates"), accompanied by blank stock
powers duly executed by such stockholder of the Company, against delivery of the
portion of the Merger  Consideration  that is deliverable to such stockholder of
the Company.  Each share of the Capital  Stock of the Company  shall entitle the
holder  thereof to receive its share of the Merger  Consideration  in accordance
with a schedule of the Company's  stockholders to be delivered by the Company to
TechSys  immediately after the Closing.  Until so surrendered,  each Certificate
shall be deemed for all  purposes,  to  evidence  only the right to receive  the
Merger  Consideration in accordance with Section  1.4(c)(i),  and from and after
the Effective Time, the stockholders of the Company shall each cease to have any
rights as a  stockholder  of the  Company,  except  for the  right to  surrender
Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration.

                  (b) Exchange Procedures. Upon surrender by each stockholder of
the  Company  of  its  Certificate(s),   TechSys  shall  deliver  to  each  such
stockholder  a  certificate  representing  the number of whole shares of TechSys
Common Stock to which such stockholder is entitled  pursuant to Section 1.4, and
the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall be canceled immediately.

                  (c) No Further  Transfers of Capital Stock of the Company.  As
of the Effective  Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed,
and thereafter there shall be no further  registration of transfers on the stock
transfer books of the Surviving  Company of the shares of the Company which were
issued and  outstanding  immediately  prior to the Effective Time. If, after the
Effective  Time,  Certificates  are presented to the  Surviving  Company for any
reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in Section 1.5(a).

                  (d)  Lost,   Stolen   or   Destroyed   Certificates.   If  any
Certificates  evidencing Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed,  then
TechSys  shall  cause  payment to be made in exchange  for such lost,  stolen or
destroyed  certificates,  upon the  delivery to TechSys of an  affidavit of that
fact by the holder  thereof;  provided,  however,  that TechSys may, in its sole
discretion  and as a condition  precedent to the issuance  thereof,  require the
owner  of  such  lost,   stolen  or   destroyed   certificates   to  deliver  an
indemnification  agreement,  without a bond but secured by any shares of TechSys
Common  Stock  issuable to such holder,  having such terms as it may  reasonably
direct as  indemnity  against any claim that may be made  against  TechSys  with
respect to the certificates alleged to have been so lost, stolen or destroyed.

         1.6 Tax  Treatment.  The Parties  intend  that the Merger  qualify as a
tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 (a)(1)(A) of the Code,
in accordance  with Section  368(a)(2)(E) of the Code. Each Party agrees that it
will use all commercially  reasonable efforts to assure that the Merger shall so
qualify,  and TechSys and the Company each hereby agree that  subsequent  to the
Closing,  neither it nor the Surviving Company will take any action, or take any
position  in a Tax  Return,  that may  reasonably  be  expected to result in the
failure of the Merger to so qualify.

         1.7 Hart Scott  Rodino.  Each Party shall  provide to the other Parties
such  information as may be reasonably  necessary for TechSys and the Company to
determine whether  pre-merger  notification of the Merger must be filed with the
Federal  Trade  Commission  (the "FTC")  pursuant  to the Hart Scott  Rodino Act
("Pre-Merger  Notification").  In the event that  counsel to TechSys  determines
that  Pre-Merger  Notification  must be filed with the FTC,  each of the Parties
hereto shall provide such information as may be reasonably necessary to complete
and file the  Pre-Merger  Notification,  and each of  TechSys  and the  Company,
respectively, shall file such Pre-Merger Notification on a timely basis.

<PAGE>

         1.8 Effective  Time. As soon as  practicable  following  fulfillment or
waiver of the  conditions  specified in Article VI and the  consummation  of the
Closing,  and provided that this Agreement has not been  terminated  pursuant to
Article VIII,  TechSys and the Company shall file the Certificate of Merger with
the  Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey and with the Secretary of
State of the State of Nevada.  The effective date and time of the Certificate of
Merger with the  Department  of Treasury of the State of New Jersey and with the
Secretary of State of the State of Nevada,  or, if not  simultaneous,  the later
thereof, is referred to herein as, the "Effective Time."

         1.9  Closing.  The  closing  shall take place at the offices of Pitney,
Hardin, Kipp & Szuch, LLP, 200 Campus Drive, Florham Park, New Jersey commencing
at 10:00 a.m. local time (the "Closing"), or at such other time and place as the
Parties may agree, as soon as practicable after the later of (i) the day of (and
immediately following) the receipt of approval of the Merger by the stockholders
of TechSys and the  stockholders  of the Company,  and (ii) the day on which the
last of the conditions set forth in Article VI is satisfied or duly waived.  The
date and time of the Closing are herein referred to as the "Closing Date."

         1.10 Title;  Risk of Loss. Legal title and risk of loss with respect to
the Company  Shares and the  business  of the Company  shall not pass to TechSys
until the Effective Time.

         5.1 Proxy Statement/Prospectus; Registration Statement.

                  (a) Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  TechSys and the Company shall
cooperate in preparing a proxy statement (the "TechSys Proxy  Statement")  which
shall be utilized to solicit proxies in connection with the meeting at which the
stockholders  of TechSys will vote on the Merger (the  "TechSys  Meeting") and a
proxy  statement/prospectus  (the "Proxy  Statement/Prospectus")  which shall be
utilized  to  solicit  proxies  in  connection  with the  meeting  at which  the
Company's  stockholders will vote upon the Merger (the "Company  Meeting").  The
Proxy  Statement/Prospectus  shall also  constitute a prospectus  for the offer,
sale and  registration of the TechSys Shares under the Securities Act.  Promptly
after  TechSys and the Company  confirm that the Proxy  Statement/Prospectus  is
satisfactory  for filing in preliminary  form,  such Proxy  Statement/Prospectus
shall be filed with the SEC. Each party will promptly  advise the other party in
writing if at any time prior to the Company  Meeting and the TechSys  Meeting it
obtains  Knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary or  appropriate  to
amend  or  supplement  the  Proxy  Statement/Prospectus  or  the  TechSys  Proxy
Statement in order to make the statements contained or incorporated by reference
therein not misleading or to comply with applicable law.

                  (b)  Registration  Statement.  TechSys  shall prepare and file
with the SEC a registration  statement on Form S-4 (or other  appropriate  Form)
including  such Proxy  Statement/Prospectus  (the  "Registration  Statement") to
register  the  Merger  Consideration  under  the  Securities  Act as  soon as is
reasonably practicable following receipt of final comments from the Staff of the
SEC on the Proxy Statement/Propectus (or advice that such Staff shall not review
such  filing),  and shall use all  reasonable  efforts to have the  Registration
Statement  declared  effective  by the SEC as  promptly  as  practicable  and to
maintain the effectiveness of such Registration  Statement.  TechSys will afford
the  Company  and its  counsel a  reasonable  opportunity  to comment on (i) the
Registration  Statement  in  preliminary  form prior to its being filed with the
SEC, (ii) any response to any comments from the Staff of the SEC with respect to
such  Registration  Statement  in  preliminary  form,  and  (iii)  any  proposed
amendments to the  Registration  Statement.  Each party will promptly advise the
other in writing if at any time prior to the  TechSys  Meeting  and the  Company
Meeting it shall  obtain  Knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary or
appropriate to amend or supplement the  Registration  Statement in order to make
the statements  contained or incorporated by reference therein not misleading or
to comply with applicable law. TechSys shall also take any action required to be
taken under state blue sky or securities laws in connection with the issuance of
the TechSys Shares pursuant to the Merger, and the Company shall furnish TechSys
all information  concerning the Company and the holders of its Capital Stock and
shall take any action as TechSys may reasonably  request in connection  with any
such action.

         5.2.     Access to Properties and Records; Confidentiality.

                  (a)  TechSys  shall  permit  the  Company  and its  agents and
representatives,  including, without limitation, officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, accountants and financial advisors (collectively, "Representatives"),
and the Company shall permit TechSys and its Representatives,  reasonable access
to their  respective  properties,  and shall  disclose and make available to the
Company and its Representatives or TechSys and its Representatives,  as the case
may be, all Books and Records thereof,  including all books, papers and records,
electronic or otherwise,  relating to their respective assets,  stock ownership,
properties, operations, obligations and liabilities,  including, but not limited
to, all books of account  (including  the  general  ledger and books of original
entry),  tax records,  minute books of directors'  and  stockholders'  meetings,
organizational  documents,  bylaws,  material contracts and agreements,  filings
with any regulatory authority, independent auditors' work papers (subject to the
receipt by such auditors of a standard access representation letter), litigation
files, plans affecting employees, and any other business activities or prospects
in which the Company and its  representatives or TechSys and its representatives
may have a  reasonable  interest.  Neither  party  shall be  required to provide
access to or to  disclose  information  where such  access or  disclosure  would
violate or  prejudice  the rights of any customer or would  contravene  any law,
rule,  regulation,  order or  judgment  or, in the case of a  document  which is
subject  to an  attorney-client  privilege,  would  compromise  the right of the
disclosing  party to claim that  privilege.  The parties will use all reasonable
efforts  to obtain  waivers of any such  restriction  (other  than the  attorney
client  privilege)  and in any  event  make  appropriate  substitute  disclosure
arrangements  under  circumstances  in which the  restrictions  of the preceding
sentence apply.

                  (b) All information furnished by the parties hereto previously
in  connection  with  transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement or pursuant
hereto  shall  be  used  solely  for  the  purpose  of  evaluating   the  Merger
contemplated hereby, shall be kept confidential and shall be treated as the sole
property of the party  delivering  the  information  until  consummation  of the
Merger  contemplated  hereby and, if such Merger shall not occur, each party and
each party's  Representatives  shall return to the other party all  documents or
other materials  containing,  reflecting or referring to such information,  will
not retain  any copies of such  information,  shall keep  confidential  all such
information,  and shall not directly or indirectly use such  information for any
competitive or commercial purposes or any other purpose not expressing permitted
hereby.

                           (i)   Each   party    hereto    shall    inform   its
Representatives of the terms of this Section 5.2.

                           (ii)   Any   breach   of  this   Section   5.2  by  a
Representative  of a party  hereto shall  conclusively  be deemed to be a breach
thereof by such party.

                           (iii)  In the  event  that  the  Merger  contemplated
hereby does not occur or this Agreement is terminated,  all documents, notes and
other  writings  prepared  by a party  hereto  or its  Representatives  based on
information  furnished by the other party,  and all other  documents and records
obtained  from another party hereto in  connection  herewith,  shall be promptly
destroyed.  The obligation to keep such information  confidential shall continue
for 30 months from the date the proposed Merger is abandoned but shall not apply
to

                                    (1) any information which:

                                             (A)   the   party   receiving   the
information  can establish by convincing  evidence was already in its possession
prior to the disclosure thereof to it by the other party;

                                             (B) was then generally known to the
public  other  than as a result  of a  disclosure  by any  party  hereto  or its
Representative;

                                             (C)  became  known  to  the  public
through no fault of the party receiving such information; or

                                             (D)  was  disclosed  to  the  party
receiving  such  information  by a third  party  not bound by an  obligation  of
confidentiality; or

                                    (2)   disclosures   pursuant   to  a  legal,
regulatory or examination  requirement or in accordance with an order of a court
of competent jurisdiction, provided that in the event of any disclosure required
by this clause (2), the  disclosing  party will give  reasonable  prior  written
notice of such  disclosure  to the other parties and shall not disclose any such
information  without an opinion of counsel  supporting  its  position  that such
information must be disclosed.

                  (c) In addition to all other remedies that may be available to
any party hereto in connection with a breach by any other party hereto of its or
its Representative's obligations under this Section 5.2, each party hereto shall
be entitled to specific  performance and injunctive and other  equitable  relief
with respect to this Section 5.2.  Each party hereto  waives,  and agrees to use
all reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to waive, any requirement to
secure or post a bond in connection with any such relief.

         5.3 Board Representation. Following the consummation of the Merger, the
respective boards of directors of TechSys and the Surviving Company will consist
