other hand. 
 
Recitals: 
 
WHEREAS, the Parent and Bender entered into that certain
Employment Agreement dated March 15, 2002 (the “Employment Agreement”); and 
 
WHEREAS, the parties desire to terminate Bender’s employment under the Employment Agreement as described herein; 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the
parties provided below, the parties to this Release, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows: 
 
1. Mutual Releases. 
 
1.1 Terms of Mutual Releases. In consideration of the payments specified in Section 1.2 below and the mutual benefits adhering to
the parties hereto, and expressly subject to Section 1.3 below, each of the InterCept Parties on one hand and Bender on the other hand irrevocably, unconditionally, and fully releases and forever discharges, and covenants not to sue or
otherwise institute or cause to be instituted or in any way participate in legal or administrative proceedings against (except as required by law), with respect to any matter whatsoever, the other and (if and to the extent applicable) each of its
subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns, of and from any and all debts, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, claims, judgments, damages, costs, expenses,
attorneys’ fees, penalties, obligations and liabilities, of every kind, character, nature and description, whether now known or unknown, suspected or claimed, whether vested, fixed or contingent, whether at law or in equity, that either the
InterCept Parties or Bender, as applicable, ever had or now has for, upon or by reason of any agreement (written or oral), matter, cause, event, occurrence, or state of facts whatsoever made, occurring or taking place at any time on or prior to the
date hereof that relate to the Employment Agreement (and Bender’s performance of services thereunder) and that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 19, 2002 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the
InterCept Parties, IB Holding Company, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership formerly known as Internet Billing Company, Ltd. (“iBill”); and IB Holding Corp., a Florida corporation formerly known as Internet Billing Corp. and certain
other parties. In particular and without limitation, the severance provisions in the Employment Agreement are hereby terminated, and the InterCept Parties shall have no liability in that regard other than the 
 

payments as provided in Section 1.2 below. (The foregoing mutual releases shall relieve each party for all
obligations under the Employment Agreement (except as shall specifically remain in effect as noted in Section 1.3 below), but for avoidance of doubt, the parties desire to make this term explicit.) 
 
1.2 Payments from the Parent to Bender. As
consideration for the foregoing release: 
 
(a)
the Parent shall pay Bender $100,000 by wire transfer on the date hereof; 
 
(b) the Parent shall promptly reimburse Bender for his business expenses, subject to the Parent’s normal and customary policies in that regard as if Bender were still employed by the Parent;

 
(c) through February 9, 2004, the Parent shall
cause Bender to continue to be covered by the Parent’s health insurance policy, either by continuing his coverage as an employee if and to the extent permitted under the terms of such policy, or by paying his COBRA payments for such period on
his behalf; and 
 
(d) the Parent shall pay Bender
$300,000 paid in nine equal installments of $33,333.33 each on the 10th day of each month beginning on March 10,
2003. If any such payment is not paid by the 15th day of any month other than for the reason stated below in clause
(ii), this obligation shall be automatically accelerated and shall be due and payable in full in the aggregate amount of the remaining installment payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
 
(i) If the Parent believes in good faith that Bender has failed to comply with the provisions
of the Employment Agreement that shall remain in effect as provided in Section 1.3 below, the Parent may notify Bender in writing and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to continue making installment payments under this Section 1.2,
provided that if Bender prevails in an action contesting the Parent’s right to cease such payments, Bender shall be entitled to interest at 12% per annum on the accelerated amount that the Parent shall have failed to pay from the date the same
became due. The foregoing remedy of the Parent is not intended to be exclusive of any other remedy available to the Parent, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies by the Parent shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies. 
 
(ii) If the Parent sells the Purchaser or substantially all of its assets to an third party
(x) in which Bender has at least a 5% equity interest, (y) of which Bender is an officer, director, or key employee, or (z) for which Bender is a consultant, then the Parent shall no longer be obligated to continue 
 

2 

to make payments to Bender (or maintain insurance coverage for Bender) under this Section
1.2, and the remaining payments to or for the benefit of Bender shall be prorated on a daily basis through the date of closing. (For example, if the Parent sells the Purchaser to an entity of which Bender is an officer on the 15th day of April 2003, then on the date of that closing the Parent shall make a final payment to Bender in the amount of
$16,666.65 for the first 15 days in April.) 
 
1.3
Certain Exceptions to Mutual Releases. 
 
(a) The following provisions of the Employment Agreement shall remain in effect: sections 5 (Protection of Trade Secrets and Confidential Information), 6 (Non-Solicitation and Related Matters, but only through February 9,
2004) and 7 (Non-Competition and Related Matters, but only through February 9, 2004). 
 
(b) The foregoing release in Section 1.1 shall not be deemed to apply to any breach by any party of its obligations set forth in this
Release. 
 
2. Certain Matters Related to
Noncompetition Agreements. Notwithstanding Sections 1.1 and 1.3(a) above, the Parent hereby agrees that Bender shall be permitted to enter the employment of Mr. Eric Cherry if he so chooses, and if so he shall be permitted to do anything in such
employment that Mr. Cherry is permitted to do under the terms of Mr. Cherry’s Noncompetition, Nondisclosure and Nonsolicitation Agreement dated March 19, 2002, except that Bender may not engage in any “Prohibited Activity” (as such
term is defined in such agreement) related to Debitpayments.com. Further, notwithstanding Sections 1.1 and 1.3(a) above, the Parent hereby agrees that Bender shall be permitted to enter the employment of Mr. Albert Angel if he so chooses, and if so
he shall be permitted to do anything in such employment that Mr. Angel is permitted to do under the terms of Mr. Angel’s Noncompetition, Nondisclosure and Nonsolicitation Agreement dated March 19, 2002, except that Bender may not engage in any
“Prohibited Activity” (as such term is defined in such agreement) related to Debitpayments.com. If the Parent sells the Purchaser or substantially all of its assets to an third party that is not an Affiliate of the Parent, then Bender
shall no longer be bound by sections 6-7 of the Employment Agreement. (In no event shall Bender’s obligations to comply with sections 6-7 of the Employment Agreement extend longer than February 9, 2004.)
