under this Agreement require special training, skill, information and experience

<PAGE>
and that this Agreement is entered into for the purpose of obtaining such

under no contractual arrangement or agreement or provision under law or equity
which prohibits or limits the rendering to the Company of the services
contemplated by this Agreement.

            (c) Employee hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and hold the
Company harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages,
costs, expenses, and claims of any and every kind whatsoever which are a direct
result of, and may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against either

Company procedures (the "Base Salary").

            (b) In addition, Employee may also be paid, on an annual or other
basis, such bonus or other compensation as the Board of Directors in its sole
discretion may determine to be reasonable compensation for Employee, considering
the performance of Employee, the business and financial condition of the Company
and the operating results achieved.

            (c) Employee shall be entitled to four weeks vacation and shall also
be entitled to such other employee benefits as the Board of Directors of the
Company, from time to time, shall determine to be reasonable and feasible for
the Company to provide for a Chief Executive Officer and no less favorable than
the benefits provided to other executive officers of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company.

            (d) The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all expenses
reasonably incurred by him on behalf of the Company in accordance with Company
policy regarding expenses and reimbursement thereof at the time the expenses are

for any of the following causes:

<PAGE>
            (i) conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by

            (ii) Employee's breach or negligent performance of his or her duties
and obligations arising under this Agreement with the Company;

            (iii) fraudulent conduct by Employee, either in connection with his
or her duties as an employee of the Company or otherwise;

            (iv) material breach of any policy, rule, or regulation of the
Company;

            (v) the Employee dies or becomes mentally or physically
incapacitated or disabled so as to be unable to perform his or her duties; or

            (vi) the good faith determination of the Board of Directors that
Employee has failed to perform his or her duties to the Company in a
satisfactory manner.

            (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of paragraph 6(a), the
Company shall retain the right to terminate Employee's employment at any time
without Cause. If Employee's employment hereunder shall be terminated by the
Company for any reason other than for Cause (as defined in paragraph (a) above),
then Employee shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to his or her then
Base Salary for the remaining time period under the Agreement, payable in
accordance with the Company's normal payroll policies.

      7. Non-Competition and Confidentiality. (a) In consideration for the
benefits Employee is receiving hereunder, and for other good and valuable
consideration, Employee agrees that during the period beginning on the date
hereof and ending two (2) years following the termination of Employee's
employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, Employee directly or
indirectly, whether as a shareholder, director, employee, officer or otherwise,
shall not (i) operate, develop or own any interest (other than ownership of less
than 5% of the equity securities of a publicly traded company) in any entity
which engages in the business of providing credit card authorization and related
services anywhere in the world; (ii) solicit or hire any employee of the Company
who was an employee of the Company at any time within the thirty (30) day period
prior to the date of the termination of Employee's employment; or (iii)
interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective
material business relationship, contractual or otherwise existing as of the date
of the termination of Employee's employment.

            (b) Employee further agrees that during the period beginning on the
date hereof and ending two (2) years following the termination of his or her

                                       3
<PAGE>
employment, he will not voluntarily at any time, directly or indirectly,
communicate, furnish, divulge or disclose to any individual, firm, association,
partnership or corporation any knowledge or information (collectively, the
"Information") with respect to any matters concerning or relating to the
business of the Company, including but not limited to, copies or originals of
any information supplied to the Company. The foregoing restrictions with respect
to the Information shall not apply to any Information which (i) on the date
hereof or thereafter becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of a disclosure, directly or indirectly, in violation of the terms
hereof, (ii) was available to such party on a non-confidential basis prior to
its disclosure, (iii) becomes available to such party on a non-confidential
basis from a source other than the other party or its representatives, which
source was not itself bound by a confidentiality agreement, or (iv) is disclosed
pursuant to any legal requirement or in connection with any legal process.

            (c) Employee agrees and acknowledges that the violation of the
covenants in this paragraph 7 would cause irreparable injury to the Company and
that the remedy at law for any violation or threatened violation would be
inadequate and that the Company shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive relief or other equitable relief without the necessity of proving
actual damages. Employee represents that enforcement of a remedy by way of
injunction will not prevent him from earning a livelihood. Employee further
represents and admits that time periods contained in paragraph 7(a) are
reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the Company and would not
unfairly or unreasonably restrict Employee.

            (d) For purposes of this Section 7 only, references to the Company
shall include any and all subsidiary companies of the Company existing now and
as of the date of termination of this Agreement.
