     1. Duties and Scope of Employment.

          (a) Employment, Positions and Duties. Executive is hereby employed as of the Effective Date as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company reporting to the Chief Executive Officer or President. Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company, as shall reasonably be assigned to him by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President or Board of Directors (the “Board”).

          (b) Obligations. Executive will perform his duties faithfully and to the best of his ability and will devote all of his business efforts and time to the Company at the Company’s Atlanta, Georgia offices. Executive understands and agrees that frequent travel may be necessary in carrying out his duties hereunder including, without limitation, frequent travel to the Company’s global offices as well as client sites and investor meetings. Executive agrees that he will not, without the prior approval of the Board of Directors, (i) serve on the board of directors (or similar governing body) of any other company, (ii) serve as a director or trustee of any civic, educational or charitable organization, (iii) make plans or prepare, whether alone or with others, to compete against the Company at some point in the future, or (iv) actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity, with or without any direct or indirect remuneration; provided, however, that Executive may serve in any non-director or non-trustee capacity with any civic, educational or charitable organization without the approval of the Board, so long as such activities do not materially interfere with his duties and obligations under this Agreement.

     2. Compensation.

          (a) Base Salary. The Company will pay Executive as compensation for his services a base salary at the annualized rate of $210,000 (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and be subject to applicable tax withholding. The Board, or the Compensation Committee of the Board, shall review the Base Salary each year and may increase, but not decrease, the Base Salary at any time. Any increase in Base Salary shall not limit or reduce any other obligations to the Executive under this Agreement. The term “Base Salary” as used in this Agreement shall refer to the Base Salary as it may be adjusted from time to time.

          (b) Annual Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, Executive may receive a discretionary performance bonus during each year of employment with the Company under this Agreement in an amount to be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Annual Bonus”). Such performance bonus, if any, shall be determined by the Board, or

the Compensation Committee of the Board, based upon its evaluation of performance relative to the business plan and other pertinent considerations.

     3. Employee Benefits; Indemnification. Executive will be entitled to participate in the equity incentive, and employee benefit plans currently or hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to other senior executives of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s group medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, and flexible-spending account plans. The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees (including Executive) at any time.

     4. Paid Time Off. Executive will be entitled to a minimum of twenty (20) days of paid time off each year for vacation time, sick leave and personal time in accordance with the Company’s paid time off policy, with the timing and duration of specific time off mutually and reasonably agreed to by the parties hereto.

     5. Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, entertainment or other expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance of or in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. Such expenses shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time.

     6. Termination and Severance.

          (a) Termination of Employment. Executive’s employment may be terminated (i) by the Company with or without Cause, (ii) by Executive for Good Reason or no reason or (iii) by reason of Executive’s death or Disability.

          (b) Termination Without Cause; Termination for Good Reason. If (i) Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without “Cause” (as defined herein) or by the Executive for “Good Reason” (as defined herein), and (ii) Executive signs and does not revoke the Company’s separation agreement and standard release of claims , then Executive shall be entitled to receive as severance, payable over a period of nine (9) months from the date of such termination in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies, (1) an amount equal to nine (9) months of Executive’s then-current Base Salary (less applicable withholding taxes); (2) a payment equal to a pro-rata portion of Executive’s Annual Bonus for the performance year in which Executive’s termination occurs, determined by multiplying a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the performance year of termination that Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365, by (i) the greater of (a) the Executive’s target annual bonus for the performance year or (b) the amount Executive would be able to receive if the date of termination were the end of the performance year, or (ii) if the amounts under (1)(a) or (b) are not determinable, Executive’s Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned but deferred, for the most recently completed fiscal year; and (3) the Company will pay for full COBRA benefits for Executive and any of Executive’s dependents that Executive had elected to cover by Company’s benefit plans during Executive’s employment at Company for the earlier of eighteen (18) months or until Executive becomes eligible to receive health, medical and/or dental benefits, respectively, from a new employer.

          (c) Voluntary Termination; Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by Executive without Good Reason or by the Company for Cause, then (i) all vesting of the Options will terminate immediately and all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and (ii) Executive will only be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with the Company’s established policies as then in effect, if applicable.

          (d) Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated due to Executive’s death or Disability (as defined herein), this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, or Executive’s legal representatives, under this Agreement, other than for payment of (1) Executive’s Base Salary through the date of termination to the extent not theretofore paid and (2) any accrued vacation pay to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1) and (2) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”). The Company shall timely pay or provide to Executive, or, if applicable, Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries, any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive, or, if applicable, Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries, in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the date of termination.

          (e) No Duty to Mitigate. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that the Executive may receive from any other source.

          (f) Nonduplication of Severance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that (i) the Executive and Company are party to a Change in Control Agreement and (ii) the Executive becomes entitled to severance payments and/or benefits in connection with the termination of his or her employment pursuant to such Change in Control agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to severance payments and/or benefits pursuant to this Section 6.

     7. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) but for this Section 7, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Executive’s severance and benefits shall be either:

          (a) delivered in full, or

          (b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code,

     whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by the Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 7 shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants immediately

prior to a Change of Control (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 7, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 7.

     8. Definitions.

          (a) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as (i) an act of dishonesty made by Executive in connection with Executive’s responsibilities as an employee, (ii) Executive’s indictment for, conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony which the Board reasonably believes had or will have a material detrimental effect on the Company’s reputation or business, (iii) Executive’s gross misconduct, (iv) Executive’s continued substantial failure to perform such Executive’s duties after Executive has received a written demand for performance from the Company which specifically sets forth the factual basis for the Company’s belief that Executive has not substantially performed his duties, (v) the willful and continued material violation of written Company policies or procedures by Executive, after a written demand for substantial compliance with such policies or procedures is delivered to Executive by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which such Committee or the Board believes that Executive has not substantially complied with the same, or (vi) Executive’s breach of any of the provisions of Sections 9 through 14 of this Agreement.

          (b) Disability. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred, it may give to Executive written notice of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such written notice by Executive, provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the inability of Executive, as determined by the Board, to perform the essential functions of his regular duties and responsibilities, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a medically determinable physical or mental illness which has lasted (or can reasonably be expected to last) an aggregate of 180 days in a 12-month period. At the request of Executive or his personal representative, the Board’s determination that the Disability of Executive has occurred shall be certified by a physician mutually agreed upon by Executive, or his personal representative, and the Company. Failing such independent certification (if so requested by Executive), Executive’s termination shall be deemed a termination by the Company without Cause and not a termination by reason of his Disability.

          (c) Good Reason. “Good Reason” means without the Executive’s consent (i) a significant reduction of the Executive’s duties, position or responsibilities, or the removal of such Executive from such position and responsibilities, unless the Executive is provided with a comparable position (i.e., a position of equal or greater organizational level, duties, authority, compensation and status), excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action

not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive; (ii) a reduction by the Company in the base compensation of the Executive as in effect immediately prior to such reduction other than in connection with a generally applicable reduction in executive officer compensation; or (iii) the involuntary relocation of the Executive to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from such Executive’s then present location; or (iv) the material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement.

     Good Reason shall not include Executive’s death or Disability. Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason hereunder. Any good faith determination of Good Reason made by Executive shall be conclusive, but the Company shall have an opportunity to cure any claimed event of Good Reason within 30 days of notice from Executive and the Board’s good faith determination of cure shall be binding. The Company shall notify Executive of the timely cure of any claimed event of Good Reason and the manner in which such cure was effected, and any notice of termination delivered by Executive based on such claimed Good Reason shall be deemed withdrawn and shall not be effective to terminate the Agreement.

     9. Nondisclosure of Trade Secrets and Confidential Information.

          (a) Trade Secrets Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term “Trade Secrets” shall mean all secret, proprietary or confidential information regarding Company or Company activities that fits within the definition of “trade secrets” under the Georgia Trade Secrets Act. Without limiting the foregoing or any definition of Trade Secrets, Trade Secrets protected hereunder shall include all source codes and object codes for Company software and all website design information to the extent that such information fits within the Georgia Trade Secrets Act. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to limit the protections of the Georgia Trade Secrets Act or any other applicable law protecting trade secrets or other confidential information. “Trade Secrets” shall not include information that has become generally available to the public by the act of one who has the right to disclose such information without violating any right or privilege of Company. This definition shall not limit any definition of “trade secrets” or any equivalent term under the Georgia Trade Secrets Act or any other state, local or federal law.

          (b) Confidential Information Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all information regarding Company, Company’s activities, Company’s business or Company’s clients that is not generally known to persons not employed (as employees or independent agents) by Company, that is not generally disclosed by Company practice or authority to persons not employed by Company and is the subject of reasonable efforts to keep it confidential. Confidential Information shall include, but not be limited to product code, product concepts, production techniques, technical information regarding Company products or services, production processes and product/service development, operations techniques, product/service formulas, information concerning Company techniques for use and integration of its website and other products/services, current and future development and expansion or contraction plans of Company, sale/acquisition plans and contacts, marketing plans and contacts, information concerning the legal affairs of Company and certain information concerning the strategy, tactics and financial affairs of Company. “Confidential Information” shall not include information that has become generally available to the public by the act of one who has the right to disclose such information without violating any right or privilege of Company.

“confidential information” or any equivalent term under the Georgia Trade Secrets Act or any other state, local or federal law.

          (c) Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. During Executive’s employment hereunder and for a period of one (1) year after Executive’s employment with Company terminates for any reason, Executive shall not directly or indirectly transmit or disclose any Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to any person, concern or entity, or make use of any such Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, for himself or for others, without the prior express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of Company; provided, however, that while employed by the Company and perpetually thereafter, for so long as the information remains a Trade Secret, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, for himself or for others, without the prior express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of Company, transmit or disclose any Trade Secrets to any person, concern or entity, or make use of any such Trade Secrets.

          (d) Enforceability of Covenants. Executive and Company agree that Executive’s obligations under these nondisclosure covenants are separate and distinct from other provisions of this Agreement, and a failure or alleged failure of Company to perform their obligations under any provision of this Agreement or other agreements with Company shall not constitute a defense to the enforceability of these nondisclosure covenants. Nothing in this provision or this Agreement shall limit any rights or remedies otherwise available to Company under federal, state or local law.

     10. Nonrecruitment, Nonsolicitation and Noncompetition Covenants.

          (a) Nonrecruitment of Employees.

immediately prior to the termination of Executive’s employment and with whom Executive had Material Contact on the Company’s behalf during that same time period. For purposes of this covenant, Executive had “Material Contact” with a customer if (i) Executive had business dealings with the customer on the Company’s behalf; (ii) Executive was responsible for supervising or coordinating the dealings between the customer and the Company; or (iii) Executive obtained Trade Secrets or Confidential Information (such terms having the same meanings as defined in Section 9 above, but in each case relating to the Customer or Potential Customer) about the customer as a result of Executive’s association with the Company.

Executive further acknowledges that complying with the provisions contained in this Agreement will not preclude him from engaging in a lawful profession, trade or business, or from becoming gainfully employed. Executive and Company agree that Executive’s obligations under the above covenant are separate and distinct under this Agreement, and the failure or alleged failure of Company to perform its obligations under any other provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a defense to the enforceability of this covenant. Executive agrees that any breach of this covenant will result in irreparable damage and injury to Company and that Company will be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of posting any bond. Executive also agrees that he shall be responsible for all damages incurred by Company due to any breach of the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement and that Company shall be entitled to have Executive pay all costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Company in enforcing the restrictive covenants in this Agreement.

All such Inventions, whether patentable or unpatentable, made, devised or discovered by Executive, whether by himself or jointly with others, which relate or pertain in any way to the business of Company, shall be used solely for the benefit of Company and become and remain their sole and exclusive property. Executive agrees to execute an assignment to Company or its nominee of Executive’s entire right, title and interest in and to such Inventions made or conceived by Executive, either alone or with others, during the term of Executive’s employment or within one (1) year after Executive’s leaving Company’s employ, and to execute any other instruments and documents that may be requested by Company for the purpose of applying for and obtaining patents with respect to such Inventions in the United States and in all foreign countries. Executive further agrees, whether or not in the employ of Company, to cooperate to the extent and in the manner reasonably requested by Company in the prosecution or defense of any patent claims or any litigation or other proceedings involving any such Inventions, but all of Executive’s reasonable expenses in connection with such litigation or other proceedings shall be paid by Company.

          (b) If a patent application or copyright registration is filed by Executive or on Executive’s behalf during Executive’s employment or other engagement with Company, whether before or after execution of this Agreement, or within one (1) year after Executive’s leaving Company’s employ, describing an Invention within the scope of Executive’s work for Company or which otherwise relates to a portion of Company’s business of which Executive had knowledge during Executive’s employment with Company, it is to be conclusively presumed that the Invention was conceived by Executive during the period of such employment.

          (c) There is no other contract or duty on Executive’s part now in existence to assign Inventions other than to Company. Executive will not disclose or induce Company to use any

confidential information or material that Executive is now or shall become aware of which belongs to anyone other than Company.

     14. Works Made for Hire. Company and Executive acknowledge that in the course of Executive’s employment (as employee or independent contractor) by Company, Executive may from time to time create, and has previously created, for Company copyrightable works. Such works may consist of manuals, pamphlets, instructional materials, computer programs, software, software integration techniques, software codes, and data, technical data, photographs, drawings, logos, designs, artwork or other copyrightable material, or portions thereof, and may be created within or without Company’s facilities and before, during or after normal business hours. All such works related to or useful in the business of Company are specifically intended to be works made by hire by Executive, and Executive shall cooperate with Company in the protection of Company’s copyrights in such works and, to the extent deemed desirable by Company, the registration of such copyrights.

     15. Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death and (b) any successor of the Company. Any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any entity affiliated with Company to whom assigns its rights and interest in and to this Agreement, and/or any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void.

     17. Severability. The covenants set forth in this Agreement shall be considered and construed as separate and independent covenants. Should any part or provision of any covenant be held invalid, void or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement. If any portion of the foregoing provisions is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because of its duration, the territory, the definition of activities or the definition of information covered is invalid or unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unreasonable term shall be redefined, or a new enforceable term provided, such that the intent of Company and Executive in agreeing to the provisions of this Agreement will not be impaired and the provision in question shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the applicable laws.

     18. Arbitration.

          (a) With the exception of any dispute arising under Sections 9,10,11,12,13 and 14 of this Agreement, the Company and Executive agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity, construction, performance, breach, or termination thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration to be held in ▇▇▇▇ County, Georgia in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”). The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction.

          (b) The arbitration proceedings will be governed by federal arbitration law and by the Rules, without reference to state arbitration law.
