COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MEETINGS
The Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is comprised of independent directors and it operates under
a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The composition of the
Audit Committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the
Committee, as reflected in its charter, are intended to be in accordance with
applicable requirements for corporate audit committees. The Committee reviews
and assesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis.
As set forth in more detail in its charter, the Audit Committee's purpose is to
assist the Board of Directors in its general oversight of the Company's
financial reporting, internal control and audit functions. Management is
responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company's
financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles and internal
controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards,
applicable laws and regulations. Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent
auditing firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.
The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors, and
their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of
management and the independent auditor, nor can the Audit Committee certify that
the independent auditor is "independent" under applicable rules. The Audit
Committee serves a board-level oversight role, in which it provides advice,
counsel and direction to management and the auditors on the basis of the
information it receives, discussions with management and the auditors and the
experience of the Audit Committee's members in business, financial and
accounting matters.
Among other matters, the Audit Committee monitors the activities and performance
of the Company's internal and external auditors, including the audit scope,
external audit fees, auditor
11
independence matters and the extent to which the independent auditor may be
retained to perform non-audit services. The Audit Committee and the Board of
Directors have ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and,
when appropriate, replace the Company's independent auditor. The Audit Committee
also reviews the results of the internal and external audit work with regard to
the adequacy and appropriateness of the Company's financial, accounting and
internal controls. Management and independent auditor presentations to and
discussions with the Audit Committee also cover various topics and events that
may have significant financial impact or are the subject of discussions between
management and the independent auditor. In addition, the Audit Committee
generally oversees the Company's internal compliance programs.
The Audit Committee met four times in relation to the year ended December 31,
2002.
In overseeing the preparation of the Company's financial statements, the Audit
Committee has had access to the Company's management to review and discuss all
financial statements prior to their issuance and to discuss significant
accounting issues. Management advised the Audit Committee that all financial
statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The Audit Committee has not met with the Company's independent
auditor with regard to the audited financial statements of the Company for the
year ended December 31, 2002.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Audit Committee did receive the
independent auditor's letter and written disclosures required by the
Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit
Committees).
For the year ended December 31, 2002, the members of the Audit Committee were
Mr. Crist, Mr. Kirby, Mr. Bergman, and Mr. Hovendick. As of June 13, 2003, only
Mr. Kirby remains on the Audit Committee (see "Directors that Resigned During

PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF CERTAINASSET SALE
General
On May 19, 2003 the Company and Saro, Inc. (the "Purchaser"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of CyberStarts, Inc., executed an asset purchase agreement (the
"Agreement") whereby the Purchaser would purchase substantially all of the
assets of the Company (the "Purchased Assets") and assume certain liabilities of
the Company (the "Assumed Liabilities") (collectively, the "Asset Purchase
Transaction"). The Company is expected to receive approximately $4,800,000 from
the Purchaser as consideration for the sale of the assets of which $4,050,000
will be paid in cash at Closing (less a $105,000 escrow), $150,000 will be paid
as an earnout (see "Purchase Price" below), and $600,000 will be paid in the
form of a note (see "Purchase Price" below) or an earnout (see "Purchase Price"
below), depending on the sale of the JV (see "Purchase Price" below).
Notwithstanding the Closing of the Asset Purchase Transaction, the Company will
remain liable for certain indemnity obligations and retained liabilities, as
discussed below.
The Company
Billserv, Inc. provides Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment ("EBPP") and
related services to companies that generate recurring paper-based bills. EBPP is
the process of sending bills to consumers securely through the Internet and
processing Internet payment of bills utilizing an electronic transfer of funds.
The Company's service offerings are supported by its systems infrastructure that
integrates certain proprietary components with third-party hardware and software
platforms to offer the Company's customers a scalable, branded and secure EBPP
process. The Company currently markets its services through a direct sales force
and through organizations that resell the Company's services to their customers
and prospects.
Saro, Inc.
Saro, Inc. ("Saro," or the "Purchaser") is a wholly owned subsidiary of
CyberStarts, Inc., a financial services technology holding company
("CyberStarts"). The Purchaser's address is 1900 Emery Street NW, Second Floor,
Atlanta, GA 30318, and its telephone number is (404) 267-5000. CyberStarts is a
technology holding company with a competency in launching and running e-finance
businesses. CyberStarts has four majority-owned operating units within the
following three market segments: collections, claims, and business-to-business
payments. CyberStarts also has a ventures unit to house its non-majority owned
investments.
Use of Proceeds; Plans for Future Operations After the Proposed Sale
The net proceeds to the Company from the Asset Purchase Transaction are expected
to be approximately $4,800,000 (see "Purchase Price" below). From the net
proceeds, the Company will pay approximately $3,800,000 to discharge its secured
and certain unsecured debt obligations, and $105,000 will be placed in an escrow
account to secure any payment of indemnity obligations of the Company to the
Purchaser. The remaining proceeds (which includes the $150,000 earnout and the
$600,000 payable as a note or an earnout as described below), net of closing
costs, is intended for redeployment and investment in a new company formed by
senior
14
management, known as Payment Data Systems, Inc. ("PDS"). PDS is a startup
enterprise in the business of 1) processing ACH (Automated Clearing House)
transactions such as Accounts Receivable Conversion, also known as Check
Truncation, and related transactions such as Point of Sale or Point of Purchase,
and Returned Check Re-presentment, 2) processing credit card transactions on
behalf of billers or retailers as an Independent Sales Organization or ISO, and
3) creating and supporting WEB transactions (recurring and one-time payments),
Customer Service Representative payment transactions, and consumer self-service
telephone ("IVR") based payment transactions (the "New Business"). The New
Business is intended to provide a unique integrated payments solution ("IPS") to
a rapidly expanding electronic payments industry. Initially, the New Business
will be delivered via an outsource solution, but will ultimately include an
in-house software offering. On June 2, 2003, PDS and Purchaser entered into an
agreement whereby the Company (as a successor to PDS), through its New Business,
will be Purchaser's preferred credit card payment processing provider for a
period of two years (with an automatic renewal clause) ("Preferred Provider
Agreement"). Further, in accordance with the Company's New Business, the Company
anticipates seeking strategic alliances, mergers, and acquisitions of other
entities that would permit the Company to achieve synergies and economies of
scale in the New Business ("Growth Strategies"). Currently, the Company is in
discussions with various business entities regarding implementation of the
Growth Strategies.
Net proceeds from the sale of the assets will not be distributed to the
stockholders; however, following the consummation of the Asset Purchase
Transaction, the stockholders of the Company will retain their equity interest
in the Company. The Company is also negotiating with senior management
concerning appropriate compensation for contributions relating to the New
Business. The Company will seek an independent valuation of such contributions
before awarding any compensation.
Background of the Proposed Sale
Since its inception, the Company has experienced a material shortfall from
anticipated revenues, leading to a significant decrease in its cash position and
a deficit in working capital. At March 31, 2003, the Company's principal source
of liquidity consisted of $167,000 of cash and cash equivalents. The Company
defaulted under its convertible debt agreement during the fourth quarter of 2002
and was unsuccessful in its attempt to raise additional capital. Consequently,
the Board of Directors believed that the Company's available cash along with its
anticipated revenues would be insufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs
for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company reduced expenditures for
operating requirements, including a reduction of 36 employees in its workforce
in November 2002.
Due to the aforementioned, by February 2003, the Company began aggressively
pursuing strategic alternatives, including investment in or sale of the Company
or its primary assets. The Company contacted Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. ("Broker"),
an investment banking company that specializes in the sale of small and
medium-sized technology businesses.
On February 26, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Broker who was
to contact potential investors and purchasers that might have an interest in
investing in or acquiring the Company. No retainer was paid to Broker by the
Company.
15
During February 2003, Broker conducted due diligence on the Company, assembled a
comprehensive list of potential investors and purchasers of the Company or its
assets, which list was compiled from Broker's knowledge of the Company's
industry, past Billserv contacts, and Broker's databases.
On approximately March 5, 2003, Broker sent 141 executive summaries of the
Company's business to potential investors and strategic purchasers. The
executive summaries outlined the Company, its business and assets, and its
current market and financial position.
Of the 141 executive summaries delivered to potential investors and strategic
purchasers, only 37 such potential investors and purchasers requested a
descriptive memorandum from Broker. The descriptive memorandums contained
investment highlights of the Company, a description of the Company's business,
benefits that could result from strategic combinations, financial information of
the Company, and a list of key personnel of the Company. All potential investors
and purchasers receiving a descriptive memorandum were required to execute
confidentiality agreements with the Company. Broker continued to maintain
personal contact with all potential investors and purchasers during this phase
of the sales process.
On approximately March 14, 2003, Broker received an indication of interest from
CyberStarts and two other potential purchasers. No potential investors indicated
an interest in the Company. Each indication of interest expressed a preliminary
value the potential purchaser placed on the Company, its method of payment, and
whether the prospective purchaser was interested in a stock or asset
transaction. CyberStarts' indication of interest was the most favorable to the
Company.
Of the three indications of interest, only CyberStarts made a final bid on the
assets of the Company. On April 16, 2003, the Company and CyberStarts signed a
letter of intent for CyberStarts to acquire certain assets of the Company. On
May 19, 2003, the Company and Saro, CyberStarts' wholly owned subsidiary,
executed the Agreement.
The Company's Reasons for the Proposed Sale; Recommendation of the Board of
Directors
As described above, the decision of the Company's Board of Directors to enter
into the Agreement followed months of exploring and analyzing the advantages and
disadvantages of maintaining the Company as an on-going entity, liquidating the
Company, or selling certain assets and then redeploying retained assets in a
different market by way of a debt-free corporation. In making its recommendation
to the stockholders of the Company, the Board of Directors considered a number
of factors, including those noted immediately below that were determined by the
Board of Directors to favor a decision to consummate the Asset Purchase
Transaction:
(i) the current financial condition and future prospects for the
Company;
(ii) management's expectations regarding probable trends in this
industry;
16
(iii) the price and terms of the Asset Purchase Transaction, as reflected
in the Agreement;
(iv) the sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would
have resulted in additional dilution to the Company's stockholders,
and debt financing, if available, would most likely have involved
restrictive covenants restricting the Company's operations or
finances; and
(v) the fact that no firm offers to acquire the assets involving cash
consideration exceeding that of the Purchaser had been received by
the Company.
The Company's Board of Directors also considered the following potentially
negative factors in its deliberations concerning the Asset Purchase Transaction:
(i) the electronic presentment and payment processing service line
represents the Company's primary business, and upon sale, the
Company must seek other revenue generating opportunities; and
(ii) the significant costs involved in connection with consummating the
Asset Purchase Transaction (especially in light of the need to
obtain a shareholder vote), the substantial management time and
effort required to effectuate the sale and the potential disruption
to the Company's operations.
The Company's Board of Directors did not believe that the negative factors were
sufficient, either individually or collectively, to outweigh potential
advantages of the Asset Purchase Transaction.
Interest of Certain Persons in the Proposed Sale
The Asset Purchase Transaction is not conditioned upon any employment
arrangements between the Purchaser and the current executive officers of the
Company. However, the Asset Purchase Transaction is conditioned on Mr. Long, Mr.
Hoch, and Ms. Hunter executing non-compete agreements prohibiting them from
competing in the presentment services business for a period of two years. In
consideration for entering into non-compete agreements, Mr. Long, Mr. Hoch, and
Ms. Hunter are being compensated in the form of 250,000 stock options in
CyberStarts, the parent company of the Purchaser. Mr. Long and Mr. Hoch are each
receiving 100,000 options; Ms. Hunter is receiving 50,000 options.
17
Regulatory Approvals
Consummation of the Asset Purchase Transaction does not require any regulatory
approvals other than the federal filings required under applicable U. S.
securities laws in connection with this Proxy Statement.

COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDERS DIRECTORSOF THE COMPANY FROM THE ASSET PURCHASE TRANSACTION.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERSOTHER INTERPRETATIONS THEREOF, ANY OF WHICH COULD BE CHANGED AT ANY TIME. NO
RULING HAS BEEN OR WILL BE REQUESTED FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE WITH
RESPECT TO ANY CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROM THE PROPOSED SALE.
The Proposed Sale will not have any federal income tax consequences to the
Company's stockholders because no distributions of sale proceeds will be made to
the stockholders.
Upon consummation of the Asset Purchase Transaction, the Company will recognize
taxable income in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the sum of the cash sale
proceeds of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, over (ii) the sum
of the Company's tax bases in the Purchased Assets and the Company's expenses of
the Asset Purchase Transaction. The Company estimates that it will not have any
federal tax liabilities in fiscal year 2003 relating to the Asset Purchase
Transaction.
Accounting Treatment
For financial reporting purposes, the Asset Purchase Transaction will be
recorded as a sale of the segment of the Company's business and reported as a
discontinued operation.
Expenses and Other Fees
Each party will bear its own expenses in respect of the Asset Purchase
Transaction, whether or not consummated.

Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration for the Asset Purchase Transaction
is approximately $4,800,000 plus the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. At
Closing, Purchaser will pay the Company $4,050,000 less the escrow amount of
$105,000 (the "Cash Payment"). The Cash Payment will be consumed by the amount
necessary to discharge the Company's secured and certain unsecured creditors. At
Closing, Purchaser shall issue the Company a note (the "JV Note") for the
remaining $600,000 (the "JV Purchase Price"). The JV Note will be a non-interest
bearing, one-year note, which is fully secured by the Assets (the "JV Security
Agreement"). Pursuant to the JV Note, the JV Purchase Price will be payable to
Seller via wire transfer in four equal quarterly installments of $150,000 each
(the "JV Quarterly Payments"), with the first JV Quarterly Payment due at
Closing. In addition to the Purchase Price, the Company may earn an additional
payment from Purchaser of our named executive officers$150,000 (the "Earnout") based on Gross Revenues (as
defined by GAAP) associated with the Business calculated for a one (1) year
period, beginning the first day of the first full month following Closing
("Annual Period"). If at the end of
19
the Annual Period, the aggregate of Gross Revenues for the total of the twelve
months in the Annual Period are equal to or exceed $5,000,000, then the Earnout
shall be $150,000. NOTE: The sale of the JV is contingent. In the event title to
the JV does not pass to Purchaser at Closing due to circumstances outside the
reasonable control of the Company, the Company and directors;
oPurchaser will negotiate a
mutually agreeable earnout provision whereby the Company is compensated based
upon the financial performance of the Business over a period not to exceed
one-year from a point at or reasonably after the Closing, which earnout payment

1.(1) The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the
option and is calculated by assuming that the fair market value of common
stock on the date of the grant as determined by the Board appreciates at
the indicated annual rate compounded annually for the entire term of the
option and that the option is exercised and the common stock received
therefore is sold on the last day of the term of the option for the
appreciated price. The 5% and 10% rates of appreciation are derived from
the rules of the SEC and do not reflect our estimate of future stock price
appreciation. The actual value realized may be greater or less than the
potential realizable values set forth in the table.

ITEM 2.
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE 1999 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR PLAN
GENERAL
On December 16, 1999, the stockholders approved the 1999 Non-Employee
Director Plan of Billserv, Inc., the text of which is attached as ANNEX A to
this Proxy Statement. The Board of Directors now proposes to increase the number
of shares available under the plan by 300,000, for a total of 800,000. The
material features of the Non-Employee Director Plan are discussed below, but the
description is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of
the Non-Employee Director Plan.
The purpose of the Non-Employee Director Plan is to advance the interests
of the Company by providing additional incentives to attract and retain
qualified and competent non-employee directors, upon whose efforts and judgment
the success of the Company (including its subsidiaries) is largely dependent. In
furtherance of this purpose, the Non-Employee Director Plan authorizes the
granting of non-qualified stock options ("Options") to purchase common stock to
such directors. Currently, a total of 500,000 shares of common stock is reserved
for issuance upon the exercise of the Options. However, the Board of Directors
proposes to amend the Non-Employee Director Plan to increase the number of
shares available to 800,000 shares.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Under the Non-Employee Director Plan, options must be granted at an
exercise price per share that is no less than the fair market value of the
common stock at the date of grant. The exercise price of an option may be paid
in cash, certified or cashier's check, money order, or by delivery of already
owned shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the exercise
price (to the extent such shares have been owned by the optionee for at least
six months and only if permitted by the applicable option agreement), or by
delivery of a combination of such methods.
20.
The options are not assignable or transferable other than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order. During the lifetime of an optionee, the option is exercisable
only by him, his guardian or legal representative.
The expiration date of each option shall not exceed ten (10) years from
the date of the grant. The Non-Employee Director Plan will automatically
terminate on July 10, 2009, and any option outstanding on such date will remain
outstanding until it has either expired or been exercised.
The Board of Directors believes that the Non-Employee Director Plan
assists in attracting and retaining qualified non-employee directors and has the
effect of more significantly aligning the interests of the non-employee
directors with the Billserv, Inc. stockholders. The Board of Directors believes
that increasing the number of shares under the Non-Employee Director Plan to
800,000 will also increase this effect.
We recommend a vote FOR the approval of the amendment to the 1999
Non-Employee Director Plan of Billserv, Inc.
ITEM 3.

STATEMENT OF POLICY
The Committee shall provide assistance to the directors in fulfilling their
responsibility to the shareholders, potential shareholders, and investment
community relating to corporate accounting, reporting practices of the Company,
and the quality and integrity of financial reports of the Company. In so doing,
it is the responsibility of the Committee to maintain free and open
communication between the Board, the independent auditors, and the financial
management of the Company.
Consistent with the duties and function of the Board, generally, the Committee
has oversight, not managerial duties and authorities in discharging its
responsibilities. The Committee has only the responsibilities specified below.
Accordingly, it is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct
audits or to determine whether the Company's financial statements are complete
and accurate or are in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles;
rather, those matters are the responsibility of management and the outside
auditor. Similarly, it is not the responsibility of the Committee to conduct
investigations, to ensure compliance with laws or the Company's corporate
compliance program or any code of ethics.
The Committee will, of necessity, rely upon management and the outside audits in
carrying out the responsibilities specified in this Charter. Accordingly, there
can be no assurance that the Company's financial statements will necessarily bebeen prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis consistent throughout the periods
indicated and consistent with each other (except as may be indicated in the
notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements included in Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Qs, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC). The Seller
Financial Statements fairly present the consolidated financial condition and
operating results of Seller and its subsidiaries at the dates and during the
periods indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to

accounting policies since January 1, 1999, except as described in the notes to

inform Purchaser thereof and shall file such amendment or supplement with the
SEC and, if appropriate, mail such amendment or supplement to the stockholders
of Seller. Seller shall cooperate and provide Purchaser with a reasonable

Seller's outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the
withdrawal or modification of the Seller Board Recommendation is required in
order for Seller's board of directors to comply with its fiduciary obligations
to Seller's stockholders under applicable law.
(d) Seller's obligation to call, give notice of and hold the Seller

sole satisfaction, the proper disposition of all or any portion of the Escrow
Funds or Escrow Agent's proper actions with respect to its obligations
hereunder, or (iii) the Representatives have not within 30 days of the
furnishing by Escrow Agent of a notice of resignation pursuant to Section 7
hereof, appointed a successor Escrow Agent to act hereunder, then Escrow Agent
may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following actions:
a. suspend the performance of any of its obligations (including
without limitation any disbursement obligations) under this Escrow
Agreement until such dispute or uncertainty shall be resolved to the sole
satisfaction of Escrow Agent or until a successor Escrow Agent shall have
been appointed (as the case may be).
b. petition (by means of an interpleader action or any other
appropriate method) any court of competent jurisdiction in any venue
convenient to Escrow Agent, for instructions with respect to such dispute
or uncertainty, and to the extent required or permitted by law, pay into
such court, for holding and disposition in accordance with the
instructions of such court, all Escrow Funds, after deduction and payment
to Escrow Agent of all fees and expenses (including court costs and
attorneys' fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected to be incurred by
Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and the
exercise of its rights hereunder.
Escrow Agent shall have no liability to CyberStarts, Billserv, their respective
shareholders or members or any other person with respect to any such suspension
of performance or disbursement into court, specifically including any liability
or claimed liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or as
a result of any delay in the disbursement of the Escrow Funds or any delay in or
with respect to any other action required or requested of Escrow Agent.
6. Investment of Funds. The Escrow Agent is herein directed and instructed
to initially invest and reinvest the Escrow Funds in the investment indicated on
Schedule A hereto. With the execution of this document, the parties hereto
acknowledge receipt of prospectuses and/or disclosure materials associated with
the investment vehicle, either through means of hardcopy or via access to the
website associated with the investment selected by the parties to this Escrow
Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that they have discussed the
investment and are in agreement as to the selected investment. CyberStarts and
Billserv may provide instructions changing the investment of the Escrow Funds
(subject to applicable minimum investment requirements) by the furnishing of a
Joint Written Direction to the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that no
investment or reinvestment may be made except in the following:
a. direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations
the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed
by the United State of America;
-3-
b. certificates of deposit issued by any bank, bank and trust
company, or national banking association (including Escrow Agent and its
affiliates), which certificates of deposit are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or a similar governmental agency;
c. repurchase agreements with any bank, trust company, or national
banking association (including Escrow Agent and its affiliates); or
d. any institutional money market fund offered by Escrow Agent,
including any institutional money market fund managed by Escrow Agent or
any of its affiliates.
If Escrow Agent has not received a Joint Written Direction at any time
that an investment decision must be made, Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow
Funds, or such portion thereof as to which no Joint Written Direction has been
received, in investments described in clause (d) above. Each of the foregoing
investments shall be made in the name of Escrow Agent. No investment shall be
made in any instrument or security that has a maturity of greater than six (6)
months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Escrow Agent
may, without notice to the Representatives, sell or liquidate any of the
foregoing investments at any time if the proceeds thereof are required for any
disbursement of Escrow Funds permitted or required hereunder. All investment
earnings shall become part of the Escrow Funds and investment losses shall be
charged against the Escrow Funds. Escrow Agent shall not be liable or
responsible for loss in the value of any investment made pursuant to this Escrow
Agreement, or for any loss, cost or penalty resulting from any sale or
liquidation of the Escrow Funds. With respect to any Escrow Funds received by
Escrow Agent after ten o'clock, a.m., Charlotte, North Carolina, time, Escrow
Agent shall not be required to invest such funds or to effect any investment
instruction until the next day upon which banks in Charlotte, North Carolina are
open for business.
7. Resignation of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged
from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving ten (10) days
prior written notice to the CyberStarts and Billserv specifying a date when such
resignation shall take effect. Upon any such notice of resignation, the
Representatives jointly shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent hereunder prior
to the effective date of such resignation which shall be a commercial bank,
trust company or other financial institution with a combined capital and surplus
in excess of $10,000,000. The retiring Escrow Agent shall transmit all records
pertaining to the Escrow Funds and shall pay all Escrow Funds to the successor
Escrow Agent, after making copies of such records as the retiring Escrow Agent
deems advisable and after deduction and payment to the retiring Escrow Agent of
all fees and expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) payable to,
incurred by, or expected to be incurred by the retiring Escrow Agent in
connection with the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights
hereunder. After any retiring Escrow Agent's resignation, the provisions of this
Escrow Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement. Any
corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or
association to which all or substantially all of the escrow business of the
Escrow Agent's corporate
-4-
trust line of business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this
Escrow Agreement without further act.
8. Liability of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only
such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied.
The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the
provisions of any agreement other than this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except
to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss
to the CyberStarts or Billserv. Escrow Agent's sole responsibility shall be for
the safekeeping and disbursement of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the
terms of this Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties or
obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or
circumstance not specifically set forth herein. Escrow Agent may rely upon any
notice, instruction, request or other instrument, not only as to its due
execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of
any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall believe to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting
to sign the same. In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for incidental,
indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages (including, but not limited
to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of
such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. Escrow Agent shall not
be obligated to take any legal action or commence any proceeding in connection
with the Escrow Funds, any account in which Escrow Funds are deposited, this
Escrow Agreement or the Underlying Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or
defend any such legal action or proceeding. Escrow Agent may consult legal
counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question as to the
construction of any of the provisions hereof or of any other agreement or of its
duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute involving any party hereto, and
shall incur no liability and shall be fully indemnified from any liability
whatsoever in acting in accordance with the opinion or instruction of such
counsel. CyberStarts and Billserv, jointly and severally, shall promptly pay,
upon demand, the reasonable fees and expenses of any such counsel.
The Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with
orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Funds,
without determination by the Escrow Agent of such court's jurisdiction in the
matter. If any portion of the Escrow Funds is at any time attached, garnished or
levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer,
conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any
court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered
by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such
event, the Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and
comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by
legal counsel selected by it is binding upon it without the need for appeal or
other action; and if the Escrow Agent complies with any such order, writ,
judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to
any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even though such order,
writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set
aside or vacated.
-5-
9. Indemnification of Escrow Agent. From and at all times after the date
of this Escrow Agreement, CyberStarts and Billserv, jointly and severally,
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and
affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against any
and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities,
costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or
asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof,
whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in
any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any
inquiry or investigation) by any person, including without limitation
CyberStarts or Billserv, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for
any legal or equitable remedy against any person under any statute or
regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws,
or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure
of performance of this Escrow Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein,
whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action,
proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided,
however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified
hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted solely from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Each
Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and
employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted
against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by
the CyberStarts and Billserv jointly and severally. The obligations of
CyberStarts and Billserv under this Section 9 shall survive any termination of
this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.
The parties agree that neither the payment by CyberStarts or Billserv of
any claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification hereunder nor the disbursement of
any amounts to Escrow Agent from the Escrow Funds in respect of a claim by
Escrow Agent for indemnification shall impair, limit, modify, or affect, as
between CyberStarts and Billserv, the respective rights and obligations of
CyberStarts, on the one hand, and Billserv, on the other hand, under the
Underlying Agreement.
10. Fees and Expenses of Escrow Agent. CyberStarts and Billserv shall
compensate Escrow Agent for its services hereunder in accordance with Schedule A
attached hereto and, in addition, shall reimburse Escrow Agent for all of its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys' fees, travel expenses,
telephone and facsimile transmission costs, postage (including express mail and
overnight delivery charges), copying charges and the like; provided, that all
such expenses shall not exceed $3,500 except in the event of a dispute or
litigation. The additional provisions and information set forth on Schedule A
are hereby incorporated by this reference, and form a part of this Escrow
Agreement. All of the compensation and reimbursement obligations set forth in
this Section 10 shall be payable by CyberStarts and Billserv, jointly and
severally, upon demand by Escrow Agent. The obligations of CyberStarts and
Billserv under this Section 10 shall
-6-
survive any termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal
of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent is authorized to, and may, disburse to itself from
the Escrow Funds, from time to time, the amount of any compensation and
reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses due and payable hereunder (including any
amount to which Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek
indemnification pursuant to Section 9 hereof). Escrow Agent shall notify the
Representatives of any disbursement from the Escrow Funds to itself or any
Indemnified Party in respect of any compensation or reimbursement hereunder and
shall furnish to the Representatives copies of all related invoices and other
statements. Billserv, CyberStarts and the Representatives hereby grant to Escrow
Agent and the Indemnified Parties a security interest in and lien upon the
Escrow Funds to secure all obligations with respect to the right to offset the
amount of any compensation or reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including
any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9 hereof) against the Escrow
Funds. If for any reason funds in the Escrow Funds are insufficient to cover
such compensation and reimbursement, CyberStarts and Billserv shall promptly pay
such amounts to Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party upon receipt of an
itemized invoice.
11. Representations and Warranties; Legal Opinions. Each of CyberStarts
and Billserv respectively makes the following representations and warranties to

offer of employment to Tony Diamond or Steve Wilson, as described below,
and Purchaser requests that such individuals perform any services on
behalf of Seller or Purchaser during the Term, Purchaser will be
responsible for all compensation, employee benefits, and other expenses
associated with such individuals.
2. Key Executive. Purchaser has made a written offer of employment
pursuant to an employment agreement with terms and conditions that are
commercially reasonable to Willard Tiller, Jr. a member of Seller's
executive team (the "Key Executive"). The Key Executive will have five

agrees to use best efforts to encourage the Key Executive to accept the
employment contract and agrees that it will not interfere with or delay
the Key Executive's decision regarding the same.
3. Other Key Employees. Purchaser will make an offer of employment that is
commercially reasonable to each of the persons listed immediately below
("Other Key Employees"). The Other Key Employees will have five complete
business days to accept or reject their respective offers of employment.
Seller agrees to use best efforts to encourage the Other Key Employees to

2. Kelly Fox
3. Shad Heath (to remain in San Antonio after Data

4. Michael Kuske
5. Linnell Lane
6. Rendy Ogan
4. Temporary Employment Arrangements. Purchaser will make an offer of
temporary employment that is commercially reasonable to each of the
persons listed immediately below ("Temporary Employees"). The Temporary

offers of temporary employment and agrees that it will not interfere with
or delay the Temporary Employees' decisions regarding the same. The
Temporary Employees are as follows:
1. Tony Diamond
2. Michael Hynes
3. Steve Wilson

5. Replacement of Key Employees. In the event that the Key Executive, one
or more of the Other Key Employee listed in Sections 3(i)-(iii) or more
than three of the Other Key Employees listed in Section 3(iv), or one or
more of the Temporary Employees (collectively, the "Key Employees," and
each a "Key Employee") rejects their respective employment offers (a
"Rejecting Key Employee"), Purchaser may waive the
3
need for such Rejecting Key Employee or hire a reasonably suitable
replacement for such Rejecting Key Employee (a "Replacement Employee").
However, in the event a Rejecting Key Employee is also a Necessary
Employee and such Necessary Employee either terminates his or her
employment with Seller or is released by Seller for cause during the Term
as a Terminating Necessary Employee, Seller will provide for a Necessary
Employee Replacement pursuant to A1 above. In the event Purchaser hires a
Replacement Employee, Purchaser will be responsible for the Employee Costs
related to the Replacement Employee as of such employee's date of hire;
provided, however that in the event the Rejecting Key Employee that is the
predecessor to such Replacement Employee remains employed with Seller
during the Term, Seller will train such Replacement Employee at no cost to
Purchaser during the Term. Seller will have no performance obligation or
any other obligations with respect to any employee matters hereunder after
the Closing.
6. Control of Employees. During the Term, Seller will retain authority to
control and direct all of Seller's employees (which includes the Necessary
Replacement Employees) and the Committee,Replacement Employees in furtherance of
operating the business in the ordinary course.
7. Condition Precedent to Employment Offers. All offers of employment
contemplated in this Transition Agreement, including Temporary Employment
Arrangements, are expressly conditioned upon the closing of the assets
acquisition set forth in the Agreement between Purchaser and Seller. In
the event Purchaser and Seller fail to close the transaction set forth in
the Agreement, then all offers of employment are void and rescinded
