This Employment Agreement (hereinafter  "Agreement) is made as of the 6th day of
January  2000  by  and  between  PrimeHoldings.com,  Inc.  ("PrimeHoldings"),  a
Delaware  corporation,  and  Thomas  E.  Aliprandi,  a  resident  of  Utah  (the
"Employee").

                                   WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS,  the Employee has been employed by and a key executive of PrimeHoldings
in  charge  of  all  of its  business  and  operations,  including  those  of it
subsidiaries; and

WHEREAS,  by unanimous agreement by written consent of the Board of Directors of
PrimeHoldings  (the "Board"),  the Employee has been duly elected  President and
Chief Executive Officer of PrimeHoldings; and

WHEREAS,  PrimeHoldings  desires  to  continue  to employ the  Employee  and the
Employee is willing to continue such  employment,  all on the terms  hereinafter
set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.       Employment.  PrimeHoldings hereby employs the Employee as its President
         and Chief  Executive  Officer on the terms  hereinafter set forth for a
         period of three (3) years from January 1, 2000, and the Employee hereby
         accepts such employment.

2.       Duties. The Employee will, to the best of his ability,  render services
         in such executive, supervisory and general administrative capacities as
         the Board  shall  from time to time  determine.  Without  limiting  the
         foregoing,  the Employee  shall devote his time,  energy and ability to
         perform  his  duties  and  shall  use  his  best   efforts  to  promote
         PrimeHoldings' interests in accordance with policies established by and
         under the  direction of the Board.  If elected a director or officer of
         PrimeHoldings or of any affiliate or subsidiary of  PrimeHoldings,  the
         Employee will serve in that capacity without compensation other than as
         expressly provided in this Agreement or any amendment hereto.

3.       Exclusivity.  The  Employee  will  devote  all of his  working  time to
         performing his duties under this  Agreement,  and during his employment
         with  PrimeHoldings  the Employee will not, without the express written
         consent of the Board:  (i) act for his own account in any manner  which
         is competitive with any of the businesses of  PrimeHoldings  (including
         any affiliate or subsidiary of PrimeHoldings), or which would interfere
         with the performance of his duties under this Agreement,  or (ii) serve
         as an officer, director or employee of or advisor to any other business
         entity  unaffiliated  with  PrimeHoldings,  or (iii) invest or have any
         financial  interest,  direct or indirect,  in any business  competitive
         with any of the businesses of PrimeHoldings (including any affiliate or
         subsidiary of PrimeHoldings),  provided,  however, that notwithstanding
         the foregoing,  the Employee may own up to 1% of the outstanding equity
         securities  of any  company  engaged in any such  competitive  business
         whose shares are listed on a national  securities exchange or regularly
         quoted  in an  over-the-counter  market  by one or  more  members  of a
         national or an affiliated securities association.  The Employee will be
         deemed to have an indirect  financial interest in any business in which
         any of the following has any financial interest: the Employee's spouse;
         any lineal  descendant  or  ancestor  of the  Employee;  any brother or
         sister of the Employee;  and any child (but not grandchild) of any such
         brother or sister.

4.       Compensation.

         4.1      Salary.  During the first year of his  employment,  and unless
                  adjusted by official action of the Board,  PrimeHoldings  will
                  pay the Employee a salary at the rate of $120,000.00 per year.
                  Thereafter  the Board  will  review the  Employee's  salary at
                  least annually.  The Employee will not be entitled to overtime
                  or  other  additional  compensation  as a result  of  services
                  performed  during  evenings,  weekends,  holidays  or at other
                  times.

<PAGE>

         4.2      Deductions.  PrimeHoldings  will deduct and withhold  from any
                  compensation payable to the Employee under this Agreement such
                  amounts as PrimeHoldings is required to deduct and withhold by
                  law.  PrimeHoldings may also deduct and withhold from any such
                  compensation,  to the extent permitted by law, such amounts as
                  the Employee may owe to PrimeHoldings.

         4.3      Automobile Allowance.  PrimeHoldings will provide the Employee
                  an automobile allowance of $1,000.00 per month.

         4.4      Termination Compensation. If PrimeHoldings terminates Employee
                  for any  reason,  with or  without  cause,  Employee  shall be
                  entitled   to   termination    compensation    at   Employee's
                  then-current  salary  and  according  the  number  of years of
                  employment   with   PrimeHoldings   or   any   subsidiary   of
                  PrimeHoldings, including any employment prior to the execution
                  of this Agreement, as follows:

                           One year - 6 months salary
                           Two years - 12 months salary
                           Three years - 24 months salary
                           Four years - 36 months salary

5.       Expenses.  PrimeHoldings  will  reimburse  the Employee for all proper,
         normal and reasonable  expenses  incurred by the Employee in performing
         his  obligations  under this  Agreement  upon the  Employee  furnishing
         PrimeHoldings  with  satisfactory  evidence of such  expenditures.  The
         Employee  will not incur any unusual or major  expenditure  without the
         Board's prior written approval.

6.       Benefits.

         6.1 Health  Insurance.  PrimeHoldings  will  provide the  Employee,  at
PrimeHoldings' expense, with medical,  hospital and disability insurance that is
not less  favorable  than  that  which it  provides  to any  other  employee  of
PrimeHoldings.

         6.2      Vacation. The Employee will be entitled to four (4) weeks paid
                  vacation during each year under this Agreement, in addition to
                  any holidays that PrimeHoldings observes. Unused vacation time
                  in any year will accrue and may be added to vacation  time for
                  any following year or, at the Employee's  option,  may be paid
                  as a cash  payment in an amount  equal to the amount of annual
                  salary attributable to the period of time of unused vacation.

         6.3      Illness.  The Employee's  salary and other rights and benefits
                  under  this  Agreement  will not be  suspended  or  terminated
                  because  the  Employee  is absent  from  work due to  illness,
                  accident or other  disability;  but  PrimeHoldings  may deduct
                  from the  Employee's  salary  under  Section  4.1 any  payment
                  received by the Employee under any disability  insurance which
                  PrimeHoldings  provides the Employee  pursuant to Section 6.1.
                  The  provisions  of this  Section 6.3 will not limit or affect
                  the rights of PrimeHoldings under Section 7.

7.       Death and Disability.

         7.1      If the Employee  dies prior to  expiration of the term of this
                  Agreement,  the  Agreement  shall  immediately  terminate  and
                  PrimeHoldings  will, within ten days, pay Employee's  personal
                  representative  an amount equal to Employee's  salary  through
                  the last day of the calendar  month in which the Employee dies
                  plus two additional months salary.

         7.2      If the Employee is unable to perform  substantially all of his
                  duties under this  Agreement  because of illness,  accident or
                  other disability  (collectively  referred to as "Disability"),
                  and the Disability  continues for more than three  consecutive
                  months or an  aggregate  of more than six  months  during  any
                  12-month   period,   then   PrimeHoldings   may   suspend  its
                  obligations to the Employee on or after the expiration of said
                  3- or  6-month  period  until  PrimeHoldings  terminates  such
                  suspension  as  hereinafter   provided.   PrimeHoldings   will
                  terminate any such  suspension  after the  Disability  has,

<PAGE>

                  in fact,  ended and after it has received  written notice from
                  the  Employee  that the  Disability  has  ended and that he is
                  ready,  willing and able to perform  fully his services  under
                  this  Agreement.  Termination  of such  suspension  will be no
                  later  than one week after  PrimeHoldings  has  received  such
                  notice  from  the  Employee.  If any  one or more  periods  of
                  suspension continue pursuant to the provisions of this Section
                  for three  consecutive  months or six months in the aggregate,
                  then PrimeHoldings may at any time prior to termination of the
                  then current  period of  suspension,  terminate the employee's
                  employment hereunder.

                  If the Employee or PrimeHoldings  asserts at any time that the
                  Employee is suffering a  Disability,  PrimeHoldings  may cause
                  the Employee to be examined by a doctor or doctors selected by
                  PrimeHoldings,  and the  Employee  will submit to all required
                  examinations  and will  cooperate  fully  with such  doctor or
                  doctors  and, if  requested  to do so, will make  available to
                  them his medical  records.  The  Employee's  own doctor may be
                  present.

8.       Results of The Employee's Services.

         8.1      PrimeHoldings will be entitled to and will own all the results
                  and proceeds of the Employee's  services under this Agreement,
                  including, without limitation, all rights throughout the world
                  to any copyright,  patent, trademark or other right and to all
                  ideas, inventions, products, programs, procedures, formats and
                  other  materials of any kind created or developed or worked on
                  by the Employee  during his employment by  PrimeHoldings;  the
                  same   shall   be  the   sole  and   exclusive   property   of
                  PrimeHoldings; and the Employee will not have any right, title
                  or interest of any nature or kind  therein.  Without  limiting
                  the foregoing, it will be presumed that any copyright, patent,
                  trademark  or other  right and any idea,  invention,  product,
                  program,  procedure,  format or material created, developed or
                  worked on by the  Employee  at any time during the term of his
                  employment  will be a  result  or  proceed  of the  Employee's
                  services  under this  Agreement.  The Employee  will take such
                  action and execute such documents as PrimeHoldings may request
                  to warrant and confirm  PrimeHoldings'  title to and ownership
                  of all such results and proceeds and to transfer and assign to
                  PrimeHoldings any rights which the Employee may have therein.

                  The  Employee's  right to any  compensation  or other  amounts
                  under this Agreement will not constitute a lien on any results
                  or proceeds of the Employee's services under this Agreement.

         8.2      PrimeHoldings  will also own, and promptly on receipt  thereof
                  the Employee will pay to  PrimeHoldings,  any monies and other
                  proceeds  to which the  Employee  is  entitled  on  account of
                  rights  pertaining  to  any  of  PrimeHoldings'   products  or
                  services  that the Employee  acquired  before the date of this
                  Agreement.

         8.3      The  Employee  acknowledges  that the  violation of any of the
                  provisions of Section 8.1 will cause irreparable loss and harm
                  to  PrimeHoldings  which cannot be  reasonably  or  adequately
                  compensated by damages in an action at law, and,  accordingly,
                  that  PrimeHoldings  will be entitled to injunctive  and other
                  equitable  relief to enforce the  provisions  of that Section;
                  but no action for any such relief shall be deemed to waive the
                  right of PrimeHoldings to an action for damages.

9.       Use of Employee's  Name, Etc.  PrimeHoldings is hereby granted the sole
         and  exclusive  right during the term of his  employment to make use of
         and to permit  others  to make use of the  Employee's  name,  pictures,
         photographs,  and other  likenesses,  and voice, in connection with the
         advertising,   publicity  and  exploitation  of  any  products,  or  in
         connection  with  the use or  implementation  of any of the  Employee's
         services  hereunder or the proceeds thereof.  This right shall continue
         in  perpetuity  as a  non-exclusive  and  non-compensable  right  after
         termination  of his  employment  for any reason  whatsoever  including,
         without  limitation,  termination by either party for cause or wrongful
         termination by either party. In no event, however,  shall the Employee,
         directly or  indirectly,  be  represented  as endorsing  any product or
         commodity without the Employee's written consent.

10.      Insurance. If PrimeHoldings desires at any time or from time to time to
         apply for,  in its own name or  otherwise,  but at its  expense,  life,
         health,   accident   or  other   insurance   covering   the   Employee,
         PrimeHoldings  may do so and may take out  such  insurance  for any sum
         that it deems  desirable.  The  Employee  will have no right,  title or
         interest in or to such insurance. The Employee nevertheless will assist
         PrimeHoldings  in procuring the same by submitting from time to time to
         the customary medical, physical and other examinations,  and by signing
         such  applications,  statements and other  instruments as any reputable
         insurer may require.

11.      Uniqueness  of Services.  The Employee  acknowledges  that his services
         hereunder  are  of  a  special,  unique,  unusual,   extraordinary  and
         intellectual  character,  the loss of which  cannot  be  reasonably  or
         adequately  compensated  by damages  in an action at law.  Accordingly,
         PrimeHoldings will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief
         to prevent or cure any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by
         the  Employee,  but no action  for any such  relief  shall be deemed to
         waive the right of PrimeHoldings to an action for damages.

12.      Negative Covenants.

         12.1     The  Employee  will  not,  during  or  after  the term of this
                  Agreement,  disclose  to any  third  person or use or take any
                  personal  advantage  of any  confidential  information  or any
                  trade secret of any kind or nature  obtained by him during the
                  term hereof or during his employment by PrimeHoldings.

         12.2.    To the full extent permitted by law, the Employee will not for
                  a  period  of  two  years  following  the  termination  of his
                  employment with PrimeHoldings:

                  (i)      attempt  to cause  any  person,  firm or  corporation
                           which  is  a  customer   of  or  has  a   contractual
                           relationship with  PrimeHoldings (or any affiliate or
                           subsidiary  of  PrimeHoldings)  at  the  time  of the
                           termination  of  his  employment  to  terminate  such
                           relationship with  PrimeHoldings (or any affiliate or
                           subsidiary  of  PrimeHoldings),  and  this  provision
                           shall apply regardless of whether such customer has a
                           valid contractual  arrangement with PrimeHoldings (or
                           any affiliate or subsidiary of PrimeHoldings);

                  (ii)     attempt to cause any  employee of  PrimeHoldings  (or
                           any  affiliate or  subsidiary  of  PrimeHoldings)  to
                           leave such employment;

                  (iii)    engage   any   person   who   was  an   employee   of
                           PrimeHoldings  (or any  affiliate  or  subsidiary  of
                           PrimeHoldings)  at the time of the termination of his
                           employment  or cause such person  otherwise to become
                           associated  with  the  Employee  or  with  any  other
                           person, corporation, partnership or other entity with
                           which the Employee may thereafter become associated;

                  (iv)     engage  in  any  activity  or  perform  any  services
                           competitive   with   any   business    conducted   by
                           PrimeHoldings  (or any  affiliate  or  subsidiary  of
                           PrimeHoldings),  in those geographical areas in which
                           PrimeHoldings  (or any  affiliate  or  subsidiary  of
                           PrimeHoldings) conducts such business, at the time of
                           such termination.

         12.3     The  Employee  acknowledges  that the  violation of any of the
                  provisions of this Section 12 will cause  irreparable loss and
                  harm to PrimeHoldings which cannot be reasonably or adequately
                  compensated by damages in an action at law, and,  accordingly,
                  that  PrimeHoldings  will be entitled to injunctive  and other
                  equitable  relief to prevent or cure any breach or  threatened
                  breach  thereof,  but no action for any such  relief  shall be
                  deemed to waive the right of  PrimeHoldings  to an action  for
                  damages.

13.      Governing Law; Remedies.

         13.1     This  Agreement  has been  executed  in the  State of Utah and
                  shall  be  governed  by  and  construed  in  all  respects  in
                  accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.

<PAGE>

         13.2     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,  any
                  dispute  or  claim  arising  under  or  with  respect  to this
                  Agreement  will be resolved by  arbitration in Salt Lake City,
                  Utah, in accordance with the Rules for Commercial  Arbitration
                  of the American Arbitration Association. The decision or award
                  of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties.

         13.3     Notwithstanding  the provisions for  arbitration  contained in
                  this Agreement,  PrimeHoldings  will be entitled to injunctive
                  and other  equitable  relief  from the courts as  provided  in
                  Sections  8.3,  11 and 12.3 and as the  courts  may  otherwise
                  determine  appropriate;  and the Employee  agrees that it will
                  not  be  a  defense  to  any  request  for  such  relief  that
                  PrimeHoldings  has an adequate  remedy at law. For purposes of
                  any such proceeding  PrimeHoldings  and the Employee submit to
                  the  non-exclusive  jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
                  Utah and of the  United  States  located in the County of Salt
                  Lake,  State of Utah,  and each agrees not to raise and waives
                  any  objection  to or  defense  based on the venue of any such
                  court or forum non conveniens.

         13.4     A  court  of  competent  jurisdiction,  if it  determines  any
                  provision of this Agreement to be unreasonable in scope,  time
                  or  geography,  is  hereby  authorized  by  the  Employee  and
                  PrimeHoldings  to  enforce  the same in such  narrower  scope,
                  shorter time or lesser  geography as such court  determines to
                  be reasonable and proper under al the circumstances.

         13.5     PrimeHoldings  will also have such other legal remedies as may
                  be appropriate under the circumstance  including,  inter alia,
                  recovery  of damages  occasioned  by a breach.  PrimeHoldings'
                  rights  and  remedies  are  cumulative  and  the  exercise  or
                  enforcement  of any  one or more of  them  will  not  preclude
                  PrimeHoldings  from exercising or enforcing any other right or
                  remedy.

14.      Severability  of Provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement or the
         application of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held
         invalid,  the remainder of this Agreement,  and the application of such
         provision  other  than to the  extent it is held  invalid,  will not be
         invalidated or affected thereby.

15.      Waiver.   No  failure  by  PrimeHoldings  to  insist  upon  the  strict
         performance  of any term or condition of this  Agreement or to exercise
         any right or remedy available to it will constitute a waiver. No breach
         or default of any provision of this Agreement  will be waived,  altered
         or modified,  and PrimeHoldings may not waive any of its rights, except
         by a written  instrument  executed by  PrimeHoldings.  No waiver of any
         breach or default  will affect or alter any term or  condition  of this
         Agreement,  and such term or condition  will continue in full force and
         effect with respect to any other then exiting or  subsequent  breach or
         default thereof.

16.      Miscellaneous.

                  signed by PrimeHoldings and the Employee.

                  PrimeHoldings or is under common control with PrimeHoldings or
                  to any corporation  succeeding to all or a substantial portion
                  of   PrimeHoldings'   business  and  assets,   provided   that
                  PrimeHoldings   shall  not  be   released   from  any  of  its
                  obligations  under this Agreement,  and provided  further that
                  any such  transferee  or assignee  agrees in writing to assume
                  all the obligations of PrimeHoldings hereunder.  Control means
                  the  power  to  elect  a  majority  of  the   directors  of  a
                  corporation or in any other manner to control or determine the
                  management of a corporation. Except as provided above, neither
                  PrimeHoldings  nor the Employee may, without the other's prior
                  written  consent,  transfer or assign any of its or his rights
                  or obligations under this

                  of the  Board of  Directors,  may apply  for and  procure,  in
                  bCard's own name and for its own benefit or Pickard's benefit,
                  life insurance  (split-dollar or any other form) in any amount
                  or amounts considered advisable;  and Pickard agrees to submit
                  to any medical or other examination and to execute and deliver
                  any  application  or other  instrument in writing,  reasonably
                  necessary to effectuate such insurance.

                  In addition to the insurance benefits  described  hereinabove,
                  and in the sole and absolute  discretion  of bCard,  bCard may
                  provide  Pickard  with  additional  fringe  benefits.  Nothing
                  herein shall require bCard to adopt, maintain, or continue any
                  such fringe benefits.

         5.5      Expenses.  In addition to the compensation provided in section
                  5.3  hereof,   bCard  shall  reimburse  Pickard  for  business
                  expenses that are determined by bCard to be reasonable.

         5.6      Minimum Performance Requirements.  It is understood and agreed
                  by the  parties  that the  following  shall be  defined as the
                  "Minimum Performance Requirements":

                  (a) At Least 750,000 bCard Holders by December 31, 2000. bCard
                  shall have at least seven hundred and fifty thousand (750,000)
                  bCard Holders on or before December 31, 2000, or

                  (b) At least  $250,000 in  Cumulative  Income Before Taxes and
                  Depreciation by December 31, 2000. There shall be at least two
                  hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) in cumulative income
                  before taxes and  depreciation  (determined in accordance with
                  GAAP) by December 31, 2000. Reference is made to the Cash Flow
                  and Sales  Projections  wherein  proforma (income before taxes
                  and depreciation" is set forth as "Gross Profit Before Tax and
                  Dep."

5.7      Non-compete Provisions. Pickard and bCard agree that bCard's actual and
         potential activities (as described in the Operational Marketing Concept
         attached  hereto as Exhibit A) are of a unique and  special  nature and
         that if Pickard's  services were used in competition  with bCard,  such
         use  could  cause  serious  and  possibly  irreparable  harm to  bCard.
         Accordingly, Pickard agrees that during the Covenant Period he will not
         directly or indirectly,  within the fifty (50) United States of America
         or with any person or entity  within the fifty  (50)  United  States of
         America:

                  (a)  engage  in,  undertake  to plan or  organize,  or  become
                  associated  or connected in any way with,  participate  in, be
                  employed by, render services to, or consult with any Competing
                  Entity   in--as   a   consultant,    independent   contractor,
                  proprietor, shareholder, partner, officer, director, employee,
                  or  otherwise--any  business or activity that is substantially
                  similar to or in  competition  with the business or activities
                  of bCard, either for his own benefit or for the benefit of any
                  other person,  firm,  corporation,  or entity whatsoever other
                  than bCard, or

<PAGE>

                  (b) call on,  solicit,  take away, or attempt to take away for
                  the benefit of Pickard or of any other  person or entity,  any
                  customer, supplier, or client of bCard, or

                  (c)  solicit,  take away,  or  attempt  to take away,  for the
                  benefit  of  Pickard  or of any other  person or  entity,  any
                  employee or officer of bCard.

                  bCard intends to restrict the activities of Pickard under this
                  section 5.7 only to the extent necessary for the protection of
                  the  legitimate   business  interests  of  bCard.  It  is  the
                  intention  and agreement of the parties that all the terms and
                  conditions  hereof be enforced to the fullest extent permitted
                  by law. In the event the provisions of this section 5.7 should
                  ever be deemed or adjudged by a court or arbitration  tribunal
                  of competent  jurisdiction  to exceed the time or geographical
                  limitation  permitted  by  applicable  law,  then the  parties
                  intend  such  provisions  shall   nevertheless  be  valid  and
                  enforceable  to the extent  necessary  for such  protection ad
                  determined  by such court or  arbitration  tribunal,  and such
                  provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time or geographic
                  limitations  as permitted by applicable  law and determined by
                  such court or arbitration tribunal.

         5.8      Cooperation.  During the Covenant Period, Pickard agrees that,
                  upon  bCard's  reasonable  request,  Pickard in good faith and
                  using diligent efforts shall cooperate and assist bCard in any
                  dispute,  controversy,  or  litigation  in which  bCard may be
                  involved including without limitation Pickard's  participation
                  in  any  court  or  arbitration  proceedings,  the  giving  of
                  testimony,  the signing of affidavits,  or such other personal
                  cooperation as legal counsel for bCard may reasonably request.
                  Such  cooperation  shall  not be  unreasonably  burdensome  or
                  without reasonable compensation.

         5.9      Work  Product is Property of bCard.  Pickard  understands  and
                  agrees that the work product (whether  tangible or intangible)
                  created,  developed,  conceived,  or  originated  (alone or in
                  combination   with   others)  by  Pickard  in  the  course  of
                  performing  his duties and services  hereunder or with the aid
                  of Confidential  Information,  Confidential  Material,  or the
                  resources or property of bCard,  is the exclusive  property of
                  bCard,  and Pickard  hereby assigns to bCard and bCard accepts
                  all of Pickard's  rights,  interest,  and title in and to said
                  work product. Pickard further agrees and understands that said
                  work product may be  Confidential  Information or Confidential
                  Material and is subject to the provisions and  restrictions of
                  this Agreement.  Pickard understands and agrees that from time
                  to time, upon bCard's reasonable request, he shall execute all
                  documents  and take such other  action as may be  necessary or
                  desirable, to protect,  enhance, exploit, or vest in bCard any
                  work product (or any part thereof).  Pickard  understands  and
                  agrees that  Pickard is engaged and  compensated  by bCard for
                  the  purpose  of   creating,   developing,   conceiving,   and
                  originating Confidential  Information,  Confidential Material,
                  or  work  product  for the  benefit  of  bCard  and  that  the
                  assignment thereof as set forth herein is reasonable.

         5.10     Confidentiality  and  Non-disclosure  Provisions--Intellectual
                  Property and Trade  Secrets.  Pickard  understands  and agrees
                  that  Confidential  Information and  Confidential  Material is
                  secret and  proprietary  and of great value to bCard.  Pickard
                  further  understands and agrees that the relationship  between
                  Pickard and bCard is of a  confidential  nature and imposes an
                  affirmative  obligation upon Pickard to protect,  foster,  and
                  respect  the  confidentiality  of  Confidential   Information.
                  Confidential   Information  and   Confidential   Material  are
                  created, possessed, or used by Pickard or are given to Pickard
                  only for the purpose of assisting  Pickard in  performing  his
                  duties and services  hereunder.  Confidential  Information and
                  Confidential  Material may be used, studied,  and evaluated by
                  Pickard only for this purpose.

                  Except  as  first  authorized  by  bCard,  Pickard  shall  not
                  directly or indirectly:

                  (a)  disclose,  reveal,  report,  duplicate,  or transfer  any
                  Confidential Information or Confidential Material to any other
                  person or entity; or

                  (b) aid,  encourage,  direct, or allow any other person entity
                  to gain possession of or access to Confidential Information or
                  Confidential Material; or

<PAGE>

                  (c)  copy  or  reproduce   Confidential   Material  or  create
                  Confidential Material from Confidential Information; or

                  (d) use, sell, or exploit any Confidential  Information or any
                  Confidential Material or aid, encourage,  direct, or allow any
                  other  person  or  entity  to  use,   sell,   or  exploit  any
                  Confidential Information or Confidential Material.

                  Upon and in  accordance  with  bCard's  instructions,  Pickard
                  shall return or dispose of all Confidential Material.  Pickard
                  shall,  whenever  requested  by bCard,  give a prompt and full
                  accounting of all  Confidential  Material given to Pickard and
                  all copies or  reproductions  thereof.  Confidential  Material
                  shall  remain  the  property  of bCard  even if  Pickard is in
                  possession thereof.

                  In  performing  his duties  and  services  hereunder,  Pickard
                  agrees  to  disclose  or  give  Confidential   Information  or
                  Confidential  Material to only such other persons as necessary
                  for the  performance  of his duties and services  hereunder or
                  for the benefit of bCard. Any such disclosure shall be to such
                  persons and on such terms as are consistent with bCard company
                  policy.

         5.11     Termination  Caused by Death of Pickard  During  Term.  In the
                  event of Pickard's  death  during the term of this  Agreement,
                  this  Agreement  shall  immediately  terminate  and  Pickard's
                  personal   representative   shall  be   entitled   to  receive
                  immediately (i.e.,  within ten (10) business days of his death
                  or as soon as reasonably possible):

                  (a) the  compensation  due Pickard through the last day of the
                  calendar month in which his death shall have occurred plus two
                  (2) additional months compensation, and

                  (b) any other benefits to which Pickard's estate would then be
                  entitled   pursuant   to   any   other   insurance,   program,
                  understanding, or agreement.

         5.12     Other Termination(s).

                  (a) Failure to Achieve Minimum Performance Requirements.  With
                  at least thirty (30) days prior  notice,  bCard may  terminate
                  this  Agreement  effective  the close of  business  on May 31,
                  2001, if at least one of the Minimum Performance  Requirements
                  is not  achieved--and  in  such  event  bCard  shall  only  be
                  obligated to pay to Pickard the  compensation  due him through
                  the effective date of such termination.

                  (b) For Cause.  bCard may terminate this Agreement at any time
                  for cause. The term "cause" as used in this subsection 5.12(b)
                  shall mean and include:

                  (1)      a  material  breach by  Pickard  of the terms of this
                           Agreement;

                  (2)      incompetence in Pickard's performance;

                  (3)      misappropriation of any money or assets or properties
                           of bCard;

                  (4)      conviction  of  Pickard  for any  felony  or  serious
                           crime;

                  (5)      chronic alcoholism or drug addiction;

                  (6)      gross moral turpitude relevant to Pickard's duties or
                           employment with bCard; or

                  (7)      inability to perform his duties to bCard for a period
                           of thirty (30)  consecutive  days,  or  inability  to
                           perform his  employment  duties for  forty-five  (45)
                           days  cumulatively  in any one  year  period  of this
                           Agreement.

<PAGE>

                  For termination  based on subsection  5.12(b)(1) or 5.12(b)(2)
                  above,  bCard  shall give  Pickard at least  thirty  (30) days
                  prior  notice  of such  cause and the  effective  date of such
                  termination; provided, however, that Pickard shall have thirty
                  (30)  days  from such  notice  date to cure such  cause to the
                  reasonable  satisfaction of bCard, and if so cured there shall
                  be no  termination  at that  time  for  such  cause;  provided
                  otherwise,  however,  that if Pickard  shall fail to cure such
                  cause within the thirty (30) days period, this Agreement shall
                  be terminated.

                  (c) Voluntary  Termination  by Pickard.  Pickard may terminate
                  this Agreement at any time upon at least sixty (60) days prior
                  notice  to  bCard,  and in  such  even  bCard  shall  only  be
                  obligated  to  pay  Pickard  his   compensation   through  the
                  effective date of such termination.

         5.13     Indemnification.  Pickard agrees to indemnify,  hold harmless,
                  and defend  bCard from any and all past,  present,  and future
                  liabilities,  claims, damages, costs, expenses, and attorney's
                  fees incurred by, or threatened  by an entity  against,  bCard
                  which  arise out of or relate to any breach of this  Agreement
                  by  Pickard  or any  claims,  demands,  or  causes  of  action
                  connected with,  related to, or arising out of Pickard's gross
                  negligence,  willful misconduct, or breach of fiduciary duties
                  to  bCard.  It is  the  intention  of  the  parties  that  his
                  indemnity does not require payment as a condition precedent to
                  recovery by bCard against Pickard under this indemnity.

         5.14     Miscellaneous:

                  (a)Entire Agreement;  Integration;  This Agreement constitutes
                     the entire agreement between the parties  pertaining to the
                     subject matter hereof,  and supersedes all written or oral,
                     prior,  or  contemporaneous  agreements,   representations,
                     warranties,  or understandings of the parties pertaining or
                     with  respect  thereto.  No  covenant,  representation,  or
                     condition not expressed herein shall affect or be deemed to
                     interpret,  change,  or  restrict  the  express  provisions
                     hereof.

                  (b)Survival   of   Representations    and   Warranties.    All
                     representations,  warranties,  covenants, and agreements of
                     the parties  contained in this Agreement  shall survive the
                     term of this Agreement.

                  (c)Binding   Nature;   No   Assignments.   The  covenants  and
                     agreements  contained  herein  shall  bind and inure to the
                     benefit of the  parties  hereto,  their  respective  heirs,
                     executors,     administrators,     personal     or    legal
                     representatives,    successors,   or   permitted   assigns;
                     provided,  however,  that noting in this subsection 5.14(c)
                     shall  be  deemed  to  permit  the  conveyance,   transfer,
                     assignment, or delegation,  expressly, by operation of law,
                     or otherwise,  by any party of any right or interest herein
                     without  the prior  written  consent of the other  parties.
                     Anything herein to the contrary  notwithstanding,  however,
                     no permitted  assignment or other disposition of all or any
                     part of a party's interests herein shall relieve such party
                     of its obligations hereunder.

                  (d)Further  Action.  The  parties  each agree to  execute  and
                     deliver all documents, provide all information, and take or
                     forebear  form  all such  action  as may be  necessary  and
                     appropriate to achieve the purposes hereof.

                  (e)Time  is of the  Essence.  Time is of the  essence  in this
                     Agreement.

                  (f)Amendments,  Modifications,  Approvals,  and Consents.  Any

                     ineffective unless it is in writing and signed by the party
                     against whom enforcement is sought.

                  (g)Parties in  Interest.  Nothing in this  Agreement,  whether
                     express  or  implied,  is  intended  to confer any right or

                  (i)Costs   and   Expenses.   Except   as  may   be   otherwise
                     specifically  set forth herein or as otherwise agreed to by
                     the  parties,  each  party  shall  bear its own  costs  and
                     expenses   (including  among  other  things  attorneys  and
                     accountants  fees and costs) in connection  herewith and in
                     connection  with  all  things  required  to be done by such
                     party hereunder.

                  (j)Attorneys'  Fees. If any action is commenced to enforce any

                     costs in connection with such action.

                  (k)Governing  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be  governed in all
                     respects and  construed  according to the laws of the State
                     of Utah applied to contracts made and to be fully performed
                     entirely within the State of Utah between  residents of the
                     State of Utah,  unless any  obligations  hereunder shall be
                     invalid or  unenforceable  under such laws,  in which event
                     the laws of the state whose laws can apply to and  validate
                     the obligations hereunder shall apply. This Agreement shall
                     be deemed  executed in Salt Lake County,  Utah. The parties
                     acknowledge  that bCard is  headquartered  within Salt Lake
                     County,  Utah,  that the  majority  of bCard's  records and
                     employees are or will be within Salt Lake County, Utah, and
                     that Salt Lake County,  Utah, is the most convenient locale
                     for actions between the parties.

                  (l)Rights  and  Remedies.  The  rights  and  remedies  of  the
                     parties hereunder shall not be mutually exclusive,  and the
                     exercise of one or more of the provisions  hereof shall not
                     preclude the exercise of any other provisions.  Each of the
                     parties  confirms that damages may be an inadequate  remedy
                     for a breach or threatened  breach of any provision hereof.
                     The respective  rights and  obligations  hereunder shall be
                     enforceable by specific performance,  injunction,  or other
                     equitable remedy,  but nothing herein contained is intended
                     to or shall limit or affect any rights at law or by statute
                     or  otherwise  of any party  aggrieved as against any other
                     party for a breach or  threatened  breach of any  provision
                     hereof,  it being the intention of this subsection  5.14(l)
                     to  make  clear  the  agreement  of the  parties  that  the
                     respective  rights and obligations of the parties hereunder
                     shall  be  enforceable  in  equity  as  well  as at  law or
                     otherwise.

                  (m)Arbitration.    Anything    herein    to    the    contrary
                     notwithstanding,  any controversy or dispute arising out of
                     or relating to this  Agreement or its subject  matter which
                     the parties are unable to resolve  within  thirty (30) days
                     after  written  notice by one party to each other  party of
                     the  existence  of  such  controversy  or  dispute,  may be
                     submitted  to  binding  arbitration  by  any  party.  If so
                     submitted  to  arbitration,  the  matter  shall be  finally
                     settled by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with
                     the then  current  rules  and  procedures  of the  American
                     Arbitration Association.  Such arbitration shall take place
                     in Salt Lake City,  Utah. The decision by the arbitrator on
                     any matter  submitted to  arbitration  shall be binding and
                     conclusive  upon  the  parties,   their  respective  heirs,
                     executors,     administrators,     personal     or    legal
                     representatives,  successors,  or permitted assigns, as the
                     case may be, and they shall  comply  with such  decision in
                     good  faith.  Each  party  hereby  submits  itself  to  the
                     jurisdiction  of the state and  federal

<PAGE>

                     courts  within the State of Utah for the entry of  judgment
                     with respect to the decision of the  arbitrator  hereunder.
                     Judgment  upon the  award  may be  entered  in any state or
                     federal  court  within the State of Utah or any other court
                     having jurisdiction.

                  (n)No  Waiver.  No  failure  by any party to  insist  upon the
                     strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement,  term,
                     or condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy upon
                     a breach  thereof  shall  constitute  a waiver  of any such
                     breach or of such or any other covenant,  duty,  agreement,
                     term,  or condition,  whether or not similar.  Any party by
                     notice pursuant to the terms hereof may, but shall be under
                     no obligation,  waive any of its rights or any condition or
                     conditions to its obligations  hereunder,  or any covenant,
                     duty, agreement,  term, or condition of any other party. No
                     waiver shall  constitute  a continuing  waiver or affect or
                     alter  the  remainder  hereof,  and  each and  every  other
                     covenant, duty, agreement, term, and condition hereof shall
                     continue in full force and effect with respect to any other
                     then existing or subsequently occurring breach.

                  (o)Severability.  In the event that any  condition,  covenant,
                     or other provision  contained  herein is held to be invalid
                     or void by any court of  competent  jurisdiction,  the same
                     shall be deemed  severable  from the  remainder  hereof and
                     shall in no way  affect  any other  covenant  or  condition
                     contained  herein.  If such condition,  covenant,  or other
                     provision  shall be  deemed  invalid  due to its  scope and
                     breadth, such provision shall be deemed valid to the extent
                     of the scope or breadth permitted by law.

                  (p)Covenant   of  Good  Faith.   Each  party   agrees  to  act
                     reasonably and in good faith in the performance of any acts
                     required of such party hereunder.

                  (q)Force Majeure.  No party shall be responsible for delays or
                     failure  in  performance  resulting  from acts  beyond  the
                     reasonable  control of such party.  Such acts shall include
                     but not be  limited  to acts  of God,  strikes,  lock-outs,
                     riots,  acts of  war,  epidemics,  governmental  regulation
                     imposed after the fact, fires, communication line failures,
                     power failures, earthquakes, or other disasters.

                  (r)Titles and Captions.  All part,  section,  subsection,  and
                     other titles,  headings,  and captions  herein are included
                     for purposes of convenience only, and shall not be deemed a
                     part hereof and shall in now way define,  limit, extend, or
                     describe  the  scope  or  intent  of any of the  provisions
                     hereof.

                  (s)Pronouns  and  Plurals.  Whenever  the context may require,
                     any pronoun  used herein  shall  include the  corresponding
                     masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, and the singular form
                     of nouns,  pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and
                     vice versa.  Whenever used herein, the word "or" shall mean
                     "and/or," unless the context clearly otherwise requires.

                  (t)Counterparts.   This   Agreement   may   be   executed   in
                     counterparts,  all of which taken together shall constitute
                     one  Agreement  binding  on the  executing  parties if each
                     party named in Part 2 hereof  shall have  executed at least
                     one   counterpart   signature   page  of   this   Agreement
                     notwithstanding that all of the parties are not signatories
                     of the  same  full  copy  of  this  Agreement  of the  same
                     counterpart signature page of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has executed this Agreement on or
