                               SHARE OPTION SCHEME
                               -------------------

1.   INTRODUCTION
     ------------

The Scheme is established pursuant to a resolution of the Board on 22nd April,
1998 following the establishment of the Trintech (Holdings) Limited Share Option
1997 Scheme which was approved by the Shareholders on 21st November, 1997. The
purpose of the Scheme is to establish a share scheme as an incentive scheme to
promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder
value by (a) encouraging Directors and Consultants to focus on critical
long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Directors
and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Directors and
Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership.
The Scheme seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of
Options. The Board may in respect of Directors and Consultants primarily liable
to taxation outside the Republic of Ireland on their remuneration alter the
provisions of the Scheme and of Awards for them to take account of overseas
taxation or securities laws as set out in Clause 10.2.

The Scheme shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
Ireland. In the event of any dispute in connection with the Scheme or a Share
Option Agreement Participants under the Scheme shall submit to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the Irish Courts.

                                                                               1

(ii)       Section 162(m) To the extent that the Committee determines it to be

           "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m)
           of the Code, the Scheme shall, in respect of such US Participants, be
           administered by a Committee of two or more "outside directors" within

           Options. The aggregate number of Shares over which Options may be

           exercised, then the Shares in respect of which such Options relate
           shall again become available for Awards under the Scheme. For this
           purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the
           transaction will be treated as a

                                                                               5

4     ELIGIBILITY
      -----------

      of an ISO unless the

                                                                               6

<PAGE>

      requirements set forth in section 422(c)(5) of the Code are satisfied.

5     OPTIONS
      -------

5.1   Share Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Scheme shall be
      ----------------------
      evidenced by a Share Option Agreement between the Participant and the
      Company and made under the Common Seal of the Company on the Date of
      Grant. The Share Option Agreement for US Participants shall specify
      whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various
      Share Option Agreements entered into under the Scheme need not be
      identical. Options awarded shall be subject to all applicable terms of the
      Scheme and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent
      with the Scheme.

5.2   Waiver of an Option. A Participant may by notice in writing under his Seal
      -------------------
      (or other corporate authority) given within thirty days of the Date of
      Grant of an Option, disclaim in whole or in part his rights under that
      Option in which case the Option shall for all purposes be deemed never to
      have been granted.

5.3   Awards Nontransferable. No Option granted under the Scheme shall be
      ----------------------
      transferable by an individual Participant other than by will, or by the
      laws of intestate succession. An Option may be exercised during the
      lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or by his or her legal
      representative. Corporate Participants may only exercise an Option by

                                                                               7

<PAGE>

           their officers in accordance with their Memorandum and Articles of
           Association or chapter and bye laws or other governing documents. No
           Option or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or
           hypothecated by a Participant whether during his or her lifetime if
           an individual (or his legal personal representative after his death),
           whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to
           execution, attachment or similar process or may be transferred
           otherwise if a corporate Participant.

5.4        Number of Shares. Each Share Option Agreement shall specify the
           ----------------
           number of Shares over which an Option may be granted and shall
           provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Clause
           7.1.

5.5        Exercise Price. Each Share Option Agreement shall specify the
           --------------
           Exercise Price. The Exercise Price under an ISO shall not be less
           than 100% of the Market Value of a Share on the day preceding the
           Date of Grant, and the Exercise Price under an NSO shall not be less
           than the par value of a Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options
           may be granted with a per share exercise price of less than 100% of
           the Market Value of a Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger
           or other corporate transaction.

5.6        Exercisability and Term. Each Share Option Agreement shall specify
           -----------------------
           the date when all or any instalment of the Option is to become
           exercisable. The Share Option Agreement shall also specify the term
           of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event

                                                                               8

<PAGE>

           exceed 10 years from the date of grant. A Share Option Agreement may
           provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of an individual
           Participant's death, disability or retirement or other events; may
           provide for accelerated exercisability by a corporate Participant in
           the event of certain events and may provide for expiration prior to
           the end of its term in the event of the termination of the
           Participant's service.

5.7        Modification or Exchange of Options. Within the limitations of the
           -----------------------------------
           Scheme, the Committee may modify, or extend outstanding Options or
           may accept the cancellation of outstanding options in return for the
           grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and
           at the same or a different Exercise Price. The foregoing
           notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the
           consent of the Participant alter or impair his or her or its rights
           or obligations under such Option.

5.8        Loss of Quotation
           -----------------

           In the event of the Shares being no longer quoted on any stock
           exchange or quotation system the Board shall have discretion to
           terminate all unexercised options and participants holding said

           -      to request Participants to exercise outstanding Options in
                  relation to the whole or a specified portion of the Shares to
                  which such Options relate and within such time or times and
                  subject to any other conditions or limitations as the
                  Committee may at its discretion determine; if a Participant
                  does not comply with the aforementioned request such Options

                  by the Committee.

           -      to agree that outstanding Options will be assumed or

           -      to arrange for the continuation by the Company of outstanding
                  Options (if the Company is a surviving company or an acquiring
                  company in a takeover),

           -      to make payment of a cash settlement to Participants equal,
                  per Share, to the difference between the amount to be paid for
                  one Share under the agreement of merger or takeover terms and

           the extent that the combining entities independent public accountants

           apply, as applicable.

           Options shall be assumed by the surviving or acquiring Company or its
           parent, or that equivalent options will be substituted by the
           surviving or acquiring company, the exercisability and vesting of
           such outstanding Options shall be fully accelerated and shall be
           followed by the cancellation of Options not exercised. Any
           cancellation by the Committee shall not occur earlier than 30 days
           after such acceleration is effective and participants have been
           notified of such acceleration.

7.4        Offer for Shares where there are no agreed terms - Notwithstanding
           the provisions of Clause 7.3, in the event that the Company is the
           subject of an offer for its securities which is not recommended by
           the Board to the Company's shareholders or otherwise agreed to by the
           Board, the exercisability and vesting of outstanding Options shall be
           fully accelerated. Participants may exercise outstanding Options

                             ----------------------

Vesting                 Your right to exercise this Option vests in monthly
                        increments at the rate of 1/36th per month over the
                        three year period starting on the second anniversary of
                        the Date of Grant as shown on the cover sheet. For
                        example, the percentage of the total number of Shares
                        for which this option will be exercisable at the dates
                        specified below is as follows:

                        The resulting number of Shares will be rounded up to the
                        nearest whole number. No additional Shares vest after
                        your Trintech services contract or directorship has
                        terminated for any reason.

                                                                              25

Term                    Your Option will expire in any event at the close of
                        business at Trintech headquarters on the day before the
                        7th anniversary of the Date of Grant, as shown on the
                        cover sheet. (It will expire earlier if your Trintech
                        services contract or directorship terminates, as
                        described below.)

Regular                 If your services as a consultant or directorship of
Termination             Trintech (or any Subsidiary) terminates for any reason
                        except death (or normal retirement or retirement due to
                        Health Reasons - if applicable) then your Option (to the
                        extent exercisable) will expire at the close of business
                        at Trintech headquarters on the 30th day (or such later
                        date as the Committee may decide) after your termination
                        date.

                        Trintech determines when your service terminates for
                        this purpose.

Death                   If you die as a consultant or director of Trintech (or
                        any Subsidiary), then your Option (to the extent
                        exercisable) will
                                                                              26

<PAGE>

                        expire at the close of business at Trintech headquarters
                        on the date one year after the date of death. During
                        that one year period, your personal representatives may
                        exercise your option (to the extent exercisable).

Normal Retirement       If your services as a consultant or directorship of
Early Retirement        Trintech (or any Subsidiary) terminates because of
                        normal retirement or early retirement if applicable due
                        to Health Reasons then your Option (to the extent
                        exercisable) will expire at the close of business at
                        Trintech headquarters on the date one year after your
                        termination date.

Leaves of Absence       For purposes of this Option, your services do not
                        terminate when you go on sick leave or another bona fide
                        leave of absence if the leave was approved by Trintech
                        in writing. But your services will be treated as
                        terminating 90 days after you went on leave, unless your
                        right to return to active work is guaranteed under law
                        or by a contract. Your services terminate, in any event,
                        when the

                                                                              27

<PAGE>

                                approved leave ends, unless you immediately
                                return to active work.

                                Trintech determines which leaves count for this
                                purpose.

Restrictions on                 Trintech will not permit you to
Exercise                        exercise this Option if the exercise and/or
                                issuance of Shares at that time would violate
                                any applicable law or regulation.

Notice of                       When you wish to exercise this Option you must
Exercise                        notify Trintech by filing the proper "Notice of
                                Exercise" form at the address given on the form.
                                Your notice must specify how many Shares you
                                wish to purchase. Your notice must also specify
                                how your Shares should be registered (in your
                                name only or in your and your spouse's joint
                                names). The notice will be effective when it is
                                received by Trintech.

                                If someone else wants to exercise this Option
                                after your death, that person must prove to
                                Trintech's satisfaction that he or she is
                                entitled to do so.

                                                                              28

                                the Shares you are purchasing. Payment may be
                                made in one (or a combination of both) of the
                                following forms:

                                .  Your personal cheque, a cashier's cheque or a
                                   money order.

Withholding Taxes                  You will not be allowed to exercise this
                                   Option unless you make acceptable
                                   arrangements to pay any withholding taxes
                                   that may be due as a result of the Option
                                   exercise.

Restrictions on Resale             By signing this Agreement, you agree not to
                                   sell any Option Shares at a time when
                                   applicable laws or Trintech policies prohibit
                                   a sale. This restriction will apply as long
                                   as you are a consultant or director of
                                   Trintech (or a Subsidiary).

Transfer of Option                 Prior to your death, only

                                                                              29

<PAGE>

                                   you may exercise this Option (to the extent
                                   exercisable). You cannot transfer or assign
                                   this Option (to the extent exercisable). For
                                   instance, you may not sell this Option or use
                                   it as security for a loan. You may, however,
                                   dispose of this Option in your will.

                                   Regardless of any marital property settlement
                                   agreement, Trintech is not obligated to
                                   honour a Notice of Exercise from your former
                                   spouse, nor is Trintech obligated to
                                   recognise your former spouse's interest in
                                   your Option in any other way.

Retention Rights                   Your Option or this Agreement do not give you
                                   the right to be retained by Trintech (or any
                                   Subsidiaries) in any capacity.

Shareholder Rights                 You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights

                        Incentive Share Option Agreement
                        --------------------------------

Incentive Share         This Option is intended to be an incentive stock option
Option                  under section 422 of the Internal Revenue code and will
                        be interpreted accordingly.

Vesting                 Your right to exercise this Option vests in monthly
                        increments at the rate of 1/60th per month over the five
                        year period starting on the Vesting Start Date, as shown
                        on the cover sheet. For example, the percentage of the
                        total number of Shares for which this option will be
                        exercisable at the dates specified below is as follows:

<PAGE>

                        will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. No
                        additional Shares vest after your Trintech services
                        contract or directorship has terminated for any reason.

Term                    Your Option will expire in any event at the close of
                        business at Trintech headquarters on the day before the
                        7th anniversary of the Date of Grant, as shown on the
                        cover sheet. (It will expire earlier if your Trintech
                        services contract or directorship terminates, as
                        described below.)

Regular                 If your service as a consultant or directorship of
Termination             Trintech (or any Subsidiary) terminates for any reason
                        except death (or normal retirement or retirement due to
                        Health Reasons - if applicable) then your Option (to the
                        extent exercisable) will expire at the close of business
                        at Trintech headquarters on the 30th day (or such later
                        date as the Committee may decide) after your termination
                        date.

                        Trintech determines when your service terminates for
                        this

                                                                              37

                        purpose.

Death                   If you die as a consultant or director of Trintech (or
                        any Subsidiary), then your Option (to the extent
                        exercisable) will expire at the close of business at
                        Trintech headquarters on the date one year after the
                        date of death. During that one year period, your
                        personal representatives may exercise your option (to
                        the extent exercisable).

Normal Retirement       If your services as a consultant or director of Trintech
Early Retirement        (or any Subsidiary) terminates because of normal
                        retirement or early retirement if applicable due to
                        Health Reasons then your Option (to the extent
                        exercisable) will expire at the close of business at
                        Trintech headquarters on the date one year after your
                        termination date.

Leaves of Absence       For purposes of this Option, your services do not
                        terminate when you go on sick leave or another bona
                        fide leave of absence if the leave was approved by
                        Trintech in writing. But your service will be

                                                                              38

<PAGE>

                        treated as terminating 90 days after you went on leave,
                        unless your right to return to active work is guaranteed
                        under law or by a contract. Your services terminate, in
                        any event, when the approved leave ends, unless you
                        immediately return to active work.

                        Trintech determines which leaves count for this purpose.

Restrictions on         Trintech will not permit you to exercise this Option if
Exercise                the exercise and/or issuance of Shares at that time
                        would violate any applicable law or regulation.

                        at the address given on the form. Your notice must
                        specify how many Shares you wish to purchase. Your
                        notice must also specify how your Shares should be
                        registered (in your name only or in your and your
                        spouse's joint names). The notice will be effective when
                        it is received by Trintech.

                                                                              39

<PAGE>

                        If someone else wants to exercise this Option after your
                        death, that person must prove to Trintech's satisfaction
                        that he or she is entitled to do so.

Form of Payment         When you submit your Notice of Exercise, you must
                        include payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares you

                            order.

Withholding Taxes       You will not be allowed to exercise this Option unless
                        you make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding
                        taxes that may be due as a result of the Option
                        exercise.

Restrictions on Resale  By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell any
                        Option Shares at a time when applicable laws or

                                                                              40

<PAGE>

                        Trintech policies prohibit a sale. This restriction will
                        apply as long as you are a consultant or director of
                        Trintech (or a Subsidiary).

Transfer of Option      Prior to your death, only you may exercise this Option
                        (to the extent exercisable). You cannot transfer or
                        assign this Option (to the extent exercisable). For
                        instance, you may not sell this Option or use it as
                        security for a loan. You may, however, dispose of this
                        Option in your will.

                        Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement,
                        Trintech is not obligated to honour a Notice of Exercise
                        from your former spouse, nor is Trintech obligated to
                        recognise your former spouse's interest in your Option
                        in any other way.

Shareholder Rights      You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a
                        shareholder of Trintech until a proper Notice of
                        Exercise has been filed with Trintech and the exercise
                        price has been tendered. No adjustments are made for
                        dividends or other rights if the applicable record date
                        occurs before a proper Notice of Exercise has been filed
                        with Trintech and the exercise price has been tendered,
                        except as described in the Scheme.

Adjustments             In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a
                        similar change in Trintech Shares, the number of Shares
                        covered by this Option and the exercise price per share
                        may be adjusted pursuant to the

                        a party to a merger, this Option will be handled in
                        accordance with the Scheme.
