2. POSITION AND DUTIES.
(a) During the Term, Executive will serve as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and Executive will render such administrative,

respects.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, "SUBSIDIARIES" will mean any

only upon the vote of a majority of the members of the Board (other than
Executive) at a meeting of which Executive has been notified and offered the
opportunity to appear before the Board and address the acts purportedly giving

Executive Employment Agreement Page 3 of 7
responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer without his consent, (iii) a

considers such occurrence to be the basis for a termination with "Good Reason"
and the Company fails to cure such occurrence within 30 days following receipt
of such notice.
6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
(a) Executive acknowledges that the information, observations and data
(including trade secrets) obtained by his while employed by the Company and its
Subsidiaries concerning the business or affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary
("CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION") are the property of the Company or such Subsidiary.
Therefore, Executive agrees that he shall not disclose to any unauthorized
person or use for his own purposes any Confidential Information without the
prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that the
Confidential Information becomes generally known to and available for use by the
public other than as a result of Executive's acts or omissions. Executive shall
deliver to the Company at the termination or expiration of the Term, or at any
other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records,
reports, computer tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data
(and copies thereof) embodying or relating to the Confidential Information, Work
Product (as defined below) or the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries
which he may then possess or have under his control; PROVIDED that the Company
shall provide Executive with reasonable access during normal business hours to
all such materials to the extent reasonably required with respect to any dispute
or matter with respect to which Executive may have personal liability, and all
such materials made available to Executive shall continue to be subject to the
confidentiality provisions set forth in this Section 6.
(b) Executive shall be prohibited from using or disclosing any
confidential information or trade secrets that Executive may have learned
through any prior employment. If at any time during this employment with the
Company or any Subsidiary, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in
work that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality or other
obligations Executive may have to former employers, Executive shall immediately
advise the Board so that Executive's duties can be modified appropriately.
(c) Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive
took nothing with his which belonged to any former employer when Executive left
his prior position and that Executive has nothing that contains any information
which belongs to any former employer. If at any time Executive discovers this is
incorrect, Executive shall promptly return any such materials to Executive's
former employer. The Company does not want any such materials, and Executive
shall not be permitted to use or refer to any such materials in the performance
of Executive's duties hereunder.
7. NON-COMPETE, NON-SOLICITATION.
(a) Executive acknowledges and agrees with the Company that in the
course of his employment with the Company he will become familiar with the
Company's trade secrets and with other confidential and proprietary information
concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries, that Executive's services to the
Company and its Subsidiaries are special and unique in nature and of an
extraordinary value to the Company, and that the Company would be irreparably
damaged if Executive were to provide similar services to any Person competing
with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or engaged in similar business.
(b) Therefore, in order to induce the Company to hire Executive and
enter into this Agreement, and in further consideration of Executive's
compensation under employment arrangements with the Company, Executive covenants
and agrees that during the Term and (so long as the Company pays to Executive
all amounts and provides such benefits as are owed to his under the terms of
this Agreement) for one (1) year thereafter (the "NONCOMPETE PERIOD"), he shall
not directly or indirectly, either for

herself or for any other Person, participate in any business or enterprise that
engages or proposes to engage in the provision Internet access or electronic
xxxx presentment services within the United States.
(c) For purposes hereof, "PERSON" means any individual, partnership,
corporation, limited liability company, association, joint stock company, trust,
joint venture, unincorporated organization, or governmental entity, department,
agency, or political subdivision.
(d) For purposes hereof, "participate in" will including, without
limitation, having any direct or indirect interest in any Person, whether as a
sole proprietor, owner, stockholder, partner, member, joint venturer, creditor,
or otherwise, or rendering any direct or indirect service or assistance to any
Person (whether as a director, officer, manager, supervisor, employee, agent,
consultant, or otherwise), other than passive ownership of not more than 2% of
the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so
long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such
corporation.
(e) During the Noncompete Period, Executive shall not directly or
indirectly through another Person (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee
of the Company or any Subsidiary to leave the employ of the Company or such
Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or
any Subsidiary and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary at any time during the period from six
months' prior to the termination of the Term until six months' after the
termination of the Term, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer,
supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee or other business relation of the
Company or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with the Company or such
Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such
customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company or any
Subsidiary (including, without limitation, making any negative or disparaging
statements or communications regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries).
8. ENFORCEMENT.
If, at the time of enforcement of Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement, a
court holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under
circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period,
scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be
substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because Executive's services
are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential Information and Work
Product, the parties hereto agree that money damages would not be an adequate
remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event a breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns,
in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, shall be
entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief
from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce, or prevent any
violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).
In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Executive of
Section 7, the Noncompete Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation
has been duly cured. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
Section 7 are reasonable and that he has reviewed the provisions of this
Agreement with his legal counsel.
