     conjunction  with  any person, firm, corporation or entity, other than Blue
     Gate  (either  as  principal,  employee,  shareholder,  member,  director,
     partner, consultant, owner or part-owner of any corporation, partnership or
     any  type  of business entity) anywhere in any county in which Blue Gate is
     doing  business  at  the  time of termination, directly or indirectly, own,
     manage,  operate,  control, be employed by, participate in, or be connected
     in  any manner with the ownership, management, operation, or control of any
     business similar to the type of business conducted by Blue Gate at the time
     of  termination  of  the  Executive's  employment.
     Executive's Acknowledgments and Agreements.  The Executive acknowledges and
     ------------------------------------------
     agrees  that:

          (1)  Due  to  the  nature  of  Blue  Gate's  business,  the  foregoing
     covenants  place no greater restraint upon the Executive than is reasonably
     necessary  to  protect  the  business  and  goodwill  of  Blue  Gate;

          (2)  These covenants protect a legitimate interest of Blue Gate and do
     not  serve  solely  to  limit  Blue  Gate's  future  competition;

          (3)  This  Agreement  is  not  an invalid or unreasonable restraint of
     trade;

          (4)  A  breach  of  these  covenants  by  the  Executive  would  cause
     irreparable  damage  to  Blue  Gate;

          (5)  These  covenants  will  not  preclude the Executive from becoming
     gainfully  employed  following  termination  of  employment with Blue Gate;

          (6)  These  covenants  are  reasonable  in  scope  and  are reasonably
     necessary  to  protect  Blue  Gate's business and goodwill and valuable and
     extensive trade which Blue Gate has established through its own expense and
     effort;

          (7)  The  signing  of  this Agreement is necessary for the Executive's
     employment;  and

          (8)  He  has  carefully  read  and  considered  all provisions of this
     Agreement  and  that  all  of  the  restrictions  set  forth  are  fair and
     reasonable  and  are  reasonably  required  for

                                        4

     Remedies, Injunction.  In the event of the Executive's actual or threatened
     --------------------
     breach  of any provisions of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that Blue
     Gate  shall  be  entitled  to  a  temporary  restraining order, preliminary
     injunction  and/or  permanent  injunction  restraining  and  enjoining  the
     Executive  from  violating the provisions herein. Nothing in this Agreement
     shall  be construed to prohibit Blue Gate from pursuing any other available
     remedies  for  such  breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
     damages  from  the  Executive.  The  Executive  further agrees that for the
     purpose  of  any such injunction proceeding, it shall be presumed that Blue
     Gate's  legal  remedies would be inadequate and that Blue Gate would suffer
     irreparable harm as a result of the Executive's violation of the provisions
     of  this  Agreement.  In any proceeding brought by Blue Gate to enforce the
     provisions  of this Agreement, no other matter relating to the terms of any
     claim or cause of action of the Executive against Blue Gate will be defense
     thereto.  The  foregoing remedy provisions are subject to the provisions of
     Sec.15.15 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, as amended (the "Code"),
     which  Code  provisions  shall control in the event of any conflict between
     the provisions hereof, and the Code or any other law in effect relevant and
     applicable  hereto.

          (a)  Medical,  Dental  and  Vision  Benefits.  During  this Agreement,

     medical,  dental  and vision benefits as Blue Gate may provide to its other
     executives,  provided  such  coverage  is  reasonably  available,  or  be
     reimbursed  if  Executive  is  carrying  his  own  similar  insurance.

          (b)  Benefit  Plans.  The Executive will be entitled to participate in
               ---------------
     any  benefit plan or program of Blue Gate that may currently be in place or
     implemented  in  the  future.

          (c)  Other  Benefits.  During  the Term, Executive will be entitled to

     its  executive  officers  in  the  future.

     (c)  Other  than  during  nightly  batch  processing  and  required  System
          maintenance,  InterCept  agrees  to  provide on-line access 24 hours a
          day, 7 days a week.

5.3     Extension  of Hours.  InterCept will use its best efforts to accommodate
        -------------------
requests  for  exceptions  or extensions of the hours of operation.  These hours
may  be  modified based on dependencies with reporting files required to be sent
to  other  servicing  organizations.

5.4     Exclusions.  InterCept  shall  not  be  responsible  for  (i)
        ----------
telecommunications  failures,  (ii)  service  interruptions  beyond  InterCept's
control,  (iii) delay or failure of any third party courier or delivery service,
or  (iv)  failure  of  any  third  party  vendor  to deliver information, files,
magnetic  media,  products, support or services, or other materials required for
InterCept  to  provide  services  hereunder.

5.5     Service  Performance  and Standards Remedy.  Notwithstanding section 4.2
        ------------------------------------------
of  the  Master  Agreement,  InterCept  and  Customer  agree  that the following
provision  represents  the  Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for InterCept's
failure  to  meet  any  service  performance  standard.

If  InterCept  or  the InterCept System fails to meet the percentage up-time and
performance  standards  specified  above and such failure is not the result of a
Customer  error or omission, any act, failure or omission of any third party, or
any  other  circumstance  beyond  InterCept's  control,  Customer  shall  notify
InterCept  immediately in writing specifying the performance standard(s) not met
and  the  nature  of  the deficiency.  Within 15 days of receipt of such notice,
InterCept shall establish and provide Customer in writing with an action plan to
meet  the  service  performance  standard(s).  Upon  expiration  of  such 15-day
period,  InterCept  shall  have  30  days  to  bring  its  performance  to  the
percentage/standard  specified  in  the  relevant  service performance standard.
InterCept  shall  report the nature and status of its efforts at the end of such
period.  Should  InterCept's  performance  remain  below the applicable standard
after  such 30-day period, InterCept shall have an additional 60 days to correct
the  situation  and  bring  the affected performance up to the standard.  During
this  period,  Customer  will  be  provided  with a 15% reduction in the monthly
InterCept  invoice  for  each  month  that  the  performance  standard(s) remain
deficient.

Should  InterCept's performance remain below the service standards following all
such periods, Customer may elect to either (i) provide InterCept with additional
time to improve the affected standard, during which time Customer will receive a
15%  reduction  in  the monthly InterCept invoice, or (ii) terminate the service
agreement  by  giving InterCept written notice of termination.  Such termination
shall  be  without  penalty  or  any  charge  to Customer other than charges for
service  fees  incurred  prior  to  the  effective  date  of  termination.

5.6     Time  Schedules.  Customer  and  InterCept  shall  establish  a mutually
        ---------------
agreeable  time  schedule  for  the  receipt  and  delivery  of  work.  Customer
acknowledges  that such time schedule will be constrained by limitations outside
of  InterCept's  control such as but not limited to the courier service provided
by the customer, Federal Reserve cutoff times, the Customer's account processing
deadline  requirements, the quantity and quality of the Customer's transactions,
and  the  backup  and  maintenance  of  the  InterCept  System.

6.     PROBLEM  REPORTING  AND  RESOLUTION

6.1     Problem  Reporting.  Customer  is  responsible for reporting problems to
        ------------------
InterCept's  customer  service  or  operations  staff  at the contact numbers or
addresses  provided  by  InterCept  from  time  to  time.

6.2     Problem  Response.  InterCept  shall  respond  to  each reported problem
        -----------------
promptly  based  on  the  severity  of  the problem and its effect on Customer's
operations.  InterCept shall use reasonable commercial efforts to either resolve
each  problem or provide Customer with information to allow Customer's personnel
to address the problem.  In the event the resolution of a reported problem which
materially  impacts  Customer's  operations will carry-over to the next business
day, InterCept will provide Customer with a status report for the problem and an
estimate  of  the  resolution  time  and  course,  if  possible.

7.     INSURANCE.  InterCept shall maintain fidelity bond coverage for dishonest
acts  committed  by  InterCept's  personnel.  InterCept shall maintain insurance
covering  hazards,  including  losses caused by fire, disaster, and other events
that  may interrupt normal service.  InterCept shall maintain insurance covering
Errors  and  Omissions.  Such  coverage's  shall  be in amounts as determined by
InterCept.  Upon  request,  InterCept  shall  furnish  Customer  with applicable
certificates  of  insurance.

8.     THIRD  PARTY  AUDIT.  InterCept  shall  provide to Customer a copy of any
third  party service audits of the records of InterCept upon request and payment
by Customer of a reasonable and customary charge.  If requested, InterCept shall
also  provide  to  Customer  annual  audited  financial  information  regarding
InterCept  at  no  charge.

9.     TERMINATION.  Notwithstanding  sections  4.2  and  4.3  of  the  Master
Agreement,  InterCept  and  Customer  agree  as  follows:

9.1     Termination  by  Customer.
        -------------------------

     (a)  Customer  may  terminate  this  Order  at  any  time  upon  180  days
          written notice accompanied by payment of liquidated damages.

     (b)  If  Customer  terminates  this  Agreement  prior  to  its  expiration
          date,  Customer  acknowledges that InterCept will suffer a substantial
          loss  and/or  damages  that  are  difficult or impossible to estimate.
          Accordingly,  in an effort to liquidate in advance the sum that should
          represent  the  loss  or  damages which would be actually sustained by
          InterCept  as  the  result  of any such early termination by Customer,
          Customer  shall  pay  InterCept  the  following  amount  as liquidated
          damages: (i) If Customer pays for the Processing Services on a monthly
          basis,  then  such  damages shall be equal to 80% of the average total
          monthly  fees  for  such  Processing  Services  payable by Customer to
          InterCept  for  the  six months prior to the notice of termination (or
          for all prior months if this Order has been in effect or InterCept has
          been  providing  the  Processing  Services  for  less than six months)
          multiplied by the number of months remaining in the then current term.
          (ii)  If  the payment period is quarterly, then the liquidated damages
          shall  be  equal  to  80% of the average of the two quarterly payments
          immediately preceding the

                                     4 of 7
                                                    CONFIDENTIAL_________INITIAL
<PAGE>
          notice  of  termination  multiplied  by  the number of payment periods
          remaining.  (iii)  If  the  payment period is annual, then the damages
          shall  be  80%  of the previous annual fee multiplied by the number of
          payment  periods remaining, including partial periods. Customer agrees
          that  such  amount  is a reasonable estimate of damages that InterCept
          will incur in the case of such early termination, and that such amount
          does  not  constitute  a  penalty.  In  addition  to  the  payment  of
          liquidated  damages,  Customer  shall  pay  immediately all previously
          invoiced and unpaid amounts.

     (c)  Customer  may  terminate  this  Order  upon  the  occurrence of any of
          the  following:  (i)  InterCept's  material breach of any provision of
          this  Order  if InterCept has not cured or initiated adequate steps to
          cure such breach or failure within 30 days following written notice of
          such  breach  or  failure to InterCept; or (ii) InterCept ceases to do
          business,  makes  a  composition  or  assignment  for  the  benefit of
          creditors,  becomes  bankrupt or insolvent, or is found subject to any
          provisions of the bankruptcy code concerning involuntary bankruptcy or
          similar  proceeding.  If  any  breach  or  failure  materially affects
          Customer's  ability  to conduct its operations in accordance with safe
          and  sound  banking practices or materially affects Customer's ability
          to  service  its customers, then such notice period shall be shortened
          to  10 business days. Termination may be immediate or at a future date
          to allow for a conversion to an alternate product or service provider.
          In  no  event  shall  InterCept  be  responsible  for Customer's costs
          associated  with  identification,  selection,  engagement,  or
          implementation of a replacement vendor.

9.2     Termination  by  InterCept.  InterCept may terminate this Order upon the
        --------------------------
occurrence of any of the following: (i) 180 days written notice prior to the end
of  the  term as set forth in this Order; (ii) Customer's material breach of any
provision  of  this  Order  if  the Customer has not cured or initiated adequate
steps  to cure such breach or failure within 30 days following written notice of
such  breach  or  failure to Customer; or (iii) Customer fails to pay any fee or
charge  when  due.  Customer  agrees  to pay the liquidated damages set forth in
section  10.1  if  this  Order  is  terminated  pursuant to (ii) or (iii) above.

about  the  Equipment  to  InterCept  and  for  performing  adequate  tests  to

compatible with the systems and communications networks of the InterCept System.

10.3     Establishing  and  Maintaining Communications.  Unless otherwise agreed
         ---------------------------------------------

services,  including  communications  equipment  installation,  with  the
communication  provider.  Customer  shall  be responsible for paying all charges
imposed  by  the provider of the communications equipment, such as the telephone
company,  for  the  Equipment  installation,  as  well  as  for  any charges for
additional  connections  or  changes to locations or future services.  InterCept
shall  not  be  responsible for the reliability or continued availability of the
telephone lines, communications facilities, or electrical power used by Customer
in utilizing the Processing Services provided by InterCept hereunder.  InterCept
will cooperate with communications vendors as appropriate so that communications
between  Customer  and  the  InterCept  System  function  properly.

10.4     Communications  Network  Security.

set  and  one  live set of Customer's data files as of the date specified by the
Customer  in  InterCept's  standard machine readable format form along with such
information  as is reasonable and customary to enable Customer to deconvert from
the InterCept System.  Requests for media or format other than that stated above
may  be  available  for  additional  charges.  Customer  files will be delivered
provided  that  Customer  consents,  agrees,  and authorizes InterCept to retain
Customer's  files until (i) InterCept has been paid in full for all fees for all
services  provided  hereunder  through  the  date  such  files  are  returned to

will  become  due  under  this  Order,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  data
communication  lease  obligations, if any; (ii) InterCept has been paid its then

10.     TERMINATION.  Notwithstanding  Sections  4.2  and  4.3  of  the  Master
Agreement,  InterCept  and  Customer  agree  as  follows:

10.1     Termination  by  Customer.
         -------------------------

     (a)  Customer  may  terminate  this  Order  at  any  time  upon  180  days
          written notice accompanied by payment of liquidated damages.

     (b)  If  Customer  terminates  this  Agreement  prior  to  its  expiration
          date,  Customer  acknowledges that InterCept will suffer a substantial
          loss  and/or  damages  that  are  difficult or impossible to estimate.
          Accordingly,  in an effort to liquidate in advance the sum that should
          represent  the  loss  or  damages which would be actually sustained by
          InterCept  as  the  result  of any such early termination by Customer,
          Customer  shall  pay  InterCept  the  following  amount  as liquidated
          damages: (i) If Customer pays for the Processing Services on a monthly
          basis,  then  such  damages shall be equal to 75% of the average total
          monthly  fees  for  such  Processing  Services  payable by Customer to
          InterCept  for  the  six months prior to the notice of termination (or
          for all prior months if this Order has been in effect or InterCept has
          been  providing  the  Processing  Services  for  less than six months)
          multiplied by the number of months remaining in the then current term.
          (ii)  If  the payment period is quarterly, then the liquidated damages
          shall  be  equal  to  75% of the average of the two quarterly payments
          immediately  preceding  the  notice  of  termination multiplied by the
          number  of  payment  periods remaining. (iii) If the payment period is
          annual,  then  the  damages  shall  be  75% of the previous annual fee
          multiplied  by  the  number  of  payment  periods remaining, including
          partial  periods.  Customer  agrees  that  such amount is a reasonable
          estimate  of  damages  that  InterCept  will incur in the case of such
          early termination, and that such amount does not constitute a penalty.
          In  addition  to the payment of liquidated damages, Customer shall pay
          immediately all previously invoiced and unpaid amounts.

     (c)  Customer  may  terminate  this  Order  upon  the  occurrence of any of
          the  following:  (i)  InterCept's  material breach of any provision of
          this  Order  if InterCept has not cured or initiated adequate steps to
          cure such breach or failure within 30 days following written notice of
          such  breach  or  failure to InterCept; or (ii) InterCept ceases to do
          business,  makes  a  composition  or  assignment  for  the  benefit of
          creditors,  becomes  bankrupt or insolvent, or is found subject to any
          provisions of the bankruptcy code concerning involuntary bankruptcy or
          similar  proceeding.  If  any  breach  or  failure  materially affects
          Customer's  ability  to conduct its operations in accordance with safe
          and  sound  banking practices or materially affects Customer's ability
          to  service  its customers, then such notice period shall be shortened
          to 10 business days. Termination may be immediate or at a future

                                     4 of 8

          date  to  allow  for  a  conversion to an alternate product or service
          provider.  In  no  event shall InterCept be responsible for Customer's
          costs  associated  with  identification,  selection,  engagement,  or
          implementation of a replacement vendor.

10.2     Termination  by InterCept.  InterCept may terminate this Order upon the

occurrence of any of the following: (i) 180 days written notice prior to the end
of  the  term as set forth in this Order; (ii) Customer's material breach of any
provision  of  this  Order  if  the Customer has not cured or initiated adequate
steps  to cure such breach or failure within 30 days following written notice of
such  breach  or  failure to Customer; or (iii) Customer fails to pay any fee or
charge  when  due.  Customer  agrees  to pay the liquidated damages set forth in
Section  10.1  if  this  Order  is  terminated  pursuant to (ii) or (iii) above.

11.     DECONVERSION.

11.1     Upon  termination  of this Order, InterCept shall dispose of Customer's
files  as  InterCept  deems  appropriate  unless  Customer, prior to the date of

InterCept  shall  have  a lien on Customer's files until all such sums are paid.
The  release  of  the  lien  and  surrender of possession of the files shall not
affect  InterCept's  claim  for  any  payments  due.

11.3     Upon termination of this Order, and (i) At InterCept's option, and (ii)
Customer's  written  request,  InterCept may continue to retain Customer's files

services  to  Customer  based  upon  InterCept's  then  current  fee  schedule.

-    InterCept  shall  have  the  right  to setoff against Customer's account(s)
     any  indebtedness which Customer owes InterCept, at anytime before or after

     shall  be  calculated  by  multiplying  the  average  monthly  service fees
     received by InterCept for the three (3) months immediately preceding notice
     of  early  termination  by the number of months remaining under the term of
     this Agreement. The parties agree that such amount is a reasonable estimate
     of  damages  lnterCept will incur in the case of such early termination and
     is liquidated damages and not a penalty.
-    Customer  agrees  InterCept  will  be  the  sole provider of these services
     during the term of this agreement and any and all subsequent terms.
-    Before  signing,  pricing  is-  guaranteed  for  45  Days  from the date on

2.     NEURAL  NETWORK  SERVICES.

2.1     Customer hereby engages InterCept to provide Fraud Detection Services to
Customer  and  its  cardholders.  Using  its Neural Network, InterCept will make
every  reasonable  effort  to  identify  potential  fraudulent  Debit  Card
transactions.

2.2     When  the  Neural  Network detects a potentially fraudulent transaction,
InterCept  may  decline  the  transaction,  place  a "hold" on the Debit Card to
prevent  any  further  transactions, and/or promptly contact by telephone either

authorizes  InterCept  to decline Debit Card transactions that appear suspicious

activity  as  deemed  appropriate  in  InterCept's  sole  discretion.

2.5     Customer  understands  that the Fraud Detection Services are intended to

acknowledges  that  (a) no fraud detection tool is one hundred percent accurate,

potential  fraud  and  declined.

2.6     Customer understands that InterCept's Neural Network occasionally may be
unavailable for short periods of time due to maintenance, enhancements, upgrades
and  similar  activities.  Although  InterCept will use its best efforts to keep

          use of a Debit Card which is not involved in fraudulent activity;

such  month  by dividing the number of holders of Debit Cards issued by Customer
by  the  sum  of  (x) the number of holders of Debit Cards and (y) the number of
self-branded  automated teller machine (ATM) cards issued by Customer.  Customer
has  ninety  (90)  days  from  the effective date of this agreement to reach the
Penetration  Rate described above.  Following that initial 90 day period, during
any  month  that  the  Penetration  Rate  is  less  than  90%, Customer will pay
Monitoring  Fees  to  InterCept  in  an  amount  determined  as  follows:

     (a)  $0.02  for  each  signature-based  transaction  attempt by a holder of
          a Debit Card issued by Customer during such month; and

     (b)  $100.00  per  1,000  Debit  Card  accounts  (or  pro-rata  portion
          thereof) on the last day of such month.

7.     OPTIONAL  INDEMNIFICATION  SERVICES.

7.1     In  addition  to  Fraud  Detection  Services,  Customer  may also engage
