anyone else following the termination of the Trial.
(c) Customer has sole responsibility for purchasing, leasing or

Customer by AT&T under any other contracts or agreements.
3. SOFTWARE LICENSE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
(a) AT&T grants to Customer for the Term of this Agreement a

the Service. All SOFTWARE and related documentation and all copies thereof, are

shall not modify, reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the
-2-
<PAGE>
SOFTWARE; or remove any proprietary rights legend from the SOFTWARE or the
documentation; or cause or permit copying, display, loan, disclosure,

except as expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement. The terms of any
license agreement packaged with any non-AT&T owned SOFTWARE shall govern the use
of such SOFTWARE.

User suggested enhancements, changes and modifications to the Service, at AT&T's
discretion, including, but not limited to, the incorporation of such
enhancements, changes or modifications into the Service, and to assign, license

or components thereof.

Agreement, Customer will promptly return all copies of SOFTWARE and associated
documentation to AT&T in the same condition as received, reasonable wear and
tear excepted, and shall erase all computer programs from the personal computer
on which they were loaded.
(d) Customer and its suppliers will retain the exclusive rights
to their respective intellectual property in the Customer systems and
applications which were in existence prior to the Effective Date of this
Agreement. AT&T and its suppliers will retain the exclusive rights to their
respective intellectual property in the AT&T Service which were in existence
prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement. If AT&T creates custom-developed
software which is paid for by AT&T under this Agreement ("Custom Proprietary

any customization work, the development of interfaces between Customer's systems
and applications and the AT&T Service and any enhancements, improvements and
modifications to the AT&T Service described in Attachment A, as amended from
time to time. In the event that during the Term of this Agreement the parties
agree upon additional custom development work that is not covered by Attachment
A, then a separate development addendum to this Agreement is required to reflect
the description of the work, the deliverables, milestones, any associated
charges, and the rights of the respective parties.

(b) This Agreement shall terminate at the earlier to occur of
the following:
(1) the expiration date of the Term, or

trial described in Attachment A, or

party to the other party if the other party is in default of a material term or
condition of this Agreement and has failed to cure such default within the
notice period, or

(i) the other party has intentionally or in a willful,
wanton or reckless manner made any material, false representation or violated
the other's tradenames, trademarks or service marks;

(c) Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement:
(1) neither party shall be relieved of any obligations due
at the time of such expiration or termination, nor shall such expiration or
termination prejudice any claim of either party accrued on account of any
default or breach by the other; and
(2) each party shall immediately return to the other party,
if requested to do so, or destroy, all promotional materials and all Information
protected under Article 5 which has been supplied by the other party; and

perform their respective obligations pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement for the duration of the 6 month period between service of notice
by the terminating party and the effective date of termination ("6 Month Notice
Timeframe"). During the 6 Month Notice Timeframe, Customer shall continue to
pay the charges in Attachment B with respect to all Users and shall continue to
be subject to the monthly cap on add-on live users as stated in Attachment A.
However, in the event that Customer adds new Users during the 6 Month Notice
Timeframe in excess of the lesser of 5,000 new Users per month or the total new
Users which were added by Customer during the 3 months immediately preceding the
service of notice of termination, then Customer shall also reimburse AT&T for
AT&T's actual incremental costs incurred to enable AT&T to add such excess new
Users to the Service.
(5) in the event termination has been initiated by AT&T
without cause pursuant to Section 4(b)(2) or by Customer due to AT&T's breach
pursuant to Section 4(b)(3), AT&T will provide Customer reasonable assistance in
migrating to an alternative service provider and Customer will compensate AT&T
for such assistance at AT&T's prevailing time and materials rates, provided that
the parties reach mutual agreement in writing within 30 days following their
mutual receipt of notice of termination, concerning the scope and duration of
support that AT&T will provide and the applicable charges that Customer will
pay.

(a) The parties will attempt to settle all Disputes through good

Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Each party shall bear

resolution processes described in this Article 15. The Information owner or
marks owner reserves the right, in connection with such disputes, at any time
and in its discretion, to seek injunctive or other judicial relief in a court of
competent jurisdiction.
AT&T and Customer, acting through their duly authorized
representatives, hereby agree to the terms set forth in this Agreement.

1. GENERAL
1.1 BACKGROUND
Atlanta Internet Bank (AIB) and AT&T desire to establish an electronic
distribution channel to deliver AlB's products and services to AlB's
end-user customers (Users). This distribution channel will be implemented
through AT&T's Personal Financial Services (PFS) offer (the "Service").
AIB has separately contracted with BiSys to manage AlB's customer accounts
processing. AT&T has separately contracted with Edify Corporation for its
Electronic Workforce and Electronic Banking System applications to access
AlB's customer accounts and to manage information presentation.
1.2 OBJECTIVES
AIB will execute an awareness campaign in connection with the Summer
Olympics. To support AIB's promotion activities, AT&T will advertise the
AIB site in its WorldNet Service and provide a hyperlink to the AIB home
page. Site visitors can learn about AIB, try an Internet banking
demonstration, and apply for an AIB bank account. AIB's goal is to
activate User accounts on the Service after the Olympics, commencing after
a preliminary trial of the Service.
To support the proposed User activation target, the parties desire to trial
the Service. The purpose of the trial is to thoroughly test the Service
solution in a real-usage environment. AIB will select approximately 50
"very close friends of the bank" as trial participants; the AT&T PFS team
will also participate in the friendly-user trial as AIB Users.
This Version 1.0 specifies the features, functionality, and requirements to
initiate a friendly-user trial starting approximately 2 weeks after the
Effective Date of the Agreement. Appendix A represents the architecture
implementation that supports the user-friendly trial as well as the
proposed addition of future enhancements to the Service.
1.3 TRIAL
The trial implementation of the Service will enable Users to open
interest-bearing checking accounts and perform basic electronic
transactions such as account history, internal transfers, and bill payment.

6. BILL PAYMENT
AT&T has contracted with CheckFree Corporation as the bill-payment services
supplier for the Service. AT&T will, at its expense, integrate access to
CheckFree's service through the AT&T Gateway and Edify Electronic
Workforce. Bill payment will be available to friendly-user trial
participants so that each trial participant can initiate bill payments
during at least one statement cycle before live user activation. NOTE: To
allow two statement cycles during the trial, BiSys will set the statement
cycle at two weeks versus the standard one month.
6.1 USER REGISTRATION
- AT&T Customer Care will enter the User's CheckFree account number into
EBS via the Reports administration area.
- If no CheckFree account number has been entered for a given User, EBS
does not display or provide access to any of the bill payment or
maintenance options.
6.2 PAYEE MAINTENANCE
Add Payee
Delete Payee
Edit Payee
6.3 PAYMENT
- Upon account sign-up, the User must specify the single account
(Checking or MMDA) that all electronic bill payments will be debited
against.
- The EBS-CheckFree module automatically schedules payments to account
for long weekends and holidays.
6.3.1 Variable Payments
- For each Checking and MMDA Account, the User can initiate a variable
payment electronic bill payment.
- The payment date is automatically scheduled for four business days
into the future.
- To account for long weekends and holidays, EBS automatically presents
the next soonest appropriate date for which a bill payment can be
scheduled.
AT&T/AIB CONFIDENTIAL
ATTACHMENT A

<PAGE>
6.3.2 Recurring Payments
- For each Checking and MMDA Account, the User can initiate a recurring
payment electronic bill payment with the following parameters:
- Next scheduled payment date
- Amount
- Frequency
- Number of payments
6.3.3 Payment Maintenance
- THE USER WILL BE ABLE TO SWITCH AN ELECTRONIC BILL PAYMENT FROM
VARIABLE TO RECURRING, AND VICE VERSA.
6.3.4 Installment Payment
- FOR EACH CHECKING AND MMDA ACCOUNT, THE USER CAN SCHEDULE AN
ELECTRONIC BILL PAYMENT WITH THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS:
- TERM OF LOAN
- RECURRING PAYMENT
- PAYMENT FREQUENCY
- LAST PAYMENT
6.4 PAYMENT MAINTENANCE
- EVERY HOUR, ON THE HOUR, EBS BATCHES ALL PENDING PAYMENTS TO CHECKFREE
VIA THE STANDARD ANALOG DIAL-UP CONNECTION TO THE COMPUSERVE NETWORK.
6.4.1 Review Pending Payments
- The User can view a list of each electronic bill payment that is
within the four-day payment window that has not been processed by
CheckFree or that has not yet been sent to CheckFree. This list also
includes all pending recurring payments.
6.4.2 Modify Pending Payment
- For each pending electronic bill payment, the User can change the
date, payee, or amount. The User can also delete the scheduled
payment. EBS will determine to simply delete the payment (e.g. not
sent to CheckFree yet) or to issue a Stop Payment request to
CheckFree.
AT&T/AIB CONFIDENTIAL
ATTACHMENT A
12
<PAGE>
6.4.3 Stop Payment: Bill Payment
- When the User issues a delete payment (see 0), if the current date is
at least four days (lead time) before the scheduled payment date, EBS
issues a STOP PAYMENT request to CheckFree per standard CheckFree
protocol.
- If the current date is past the four days (lead time) before the
scheduled payment date, AT&T Customer Care will attempt to stop the
payment via CheckFree's ROLA System. Otherwise, AT&T Customer Care
will contact CheckFree to initiate a stop payment. CheckFree levies a
surcharge to perform this service.
7. SERVICE REQUESTS VIA ELECTRONIC MESSAGE
Users cannot access certain services (described below in this Section 0)
electronically through BiSys, CheckFree, or via another service provider.
Therefore, AIB Customer Care must directly handle these User requests. The
User at its option may call AIB Customer Care for these services.
Additionally, Users can send a message to AIB Customer Care to initiate a
service request. This requires AIB to develop a process for managing
incoming messages and responding to the User in a timely fashion.
7.1 EBS BANK MAIL PROCESS
- All User requests will be via Bank Mail, for Unformatted and Context
Sensitive Messages. Each request is stored in a database with a status
of NEW. To process the requests, AIB Customer Care accesses the
database at intervals determined by AIB. At this point, it is expected
that AIB Customer Care will reply to the User, acknowledging that the
User's request has been received, and AIB Customer Care will enter the
request per standard procedures AIB follows for similar requests
received via phone or post mail. EBS then automatically deletes the
message from the database.
- AIB Customer Care must have Internet service to access EBS and the
Bank Mail subsystem. At the friendly-user trial phase, AT&T WorldNet
Service is the only Internet access that AT&T can technically support.
IS THERE ONE ID AND PASSWORD FOR AIB CUSTOMER CARE?
NOTE: Until secured Internet-based e-mail is viable.
7.2 UNFORMATTED MESSAGE
- The User can send a free-form message to AIB Customer Care. The User
must enter the subject and request.
- For AIB auditing purposes, all messages must be time and date stamped.
AT&T/AIB CONFIDENTIAL
ATTACHMENT A
13
<PAGE>
7.3 CONTEXT SENSITIVE MESSAGE
- THE USER CAN SEND A PREFORMATTED MESSAGE TO AIB CUSTOMER CARE: THE
SUBJECT AND REQUEST WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED BASED ON THE
HYPERLINK SELECTED BY THE CUSTOMER.
- THE USER MAY ADD COMMENTS TO THE BODY OF THE E-MAIL.
- For AIB auditing purposes, all messages must be time and date stamped.
7.3.1 Service Requests
- EBS supports the following context sensitive service requests:
7.3.1.1 Stop Payment: Check
7.3.1.2 Check Reorder
7.3.1.3 Set-Up Direct Deposit
7.4. GENERAL MESSAGING
- Any visitor to the AIB Web site can send e-mail to AIB over the Global
Internet. This should be limited to general information queries and
suggestions to enhance the site; Users should not include any account
specific information.
- DOES FRONTPAGE SUPPORT A FORM THAT COLLECTS FREEFORM INPUT FROM THE
USER AND GENERATES AN E-MAIL ADDRESSED TO AIB CUSTOMER CARE? THIS
PROVIDES CONSISTENT MESSAGING SUPPORT IN CASES WHERE THE SITE VISITOR
DOES NOT HAVE INTERNET E-MAIL THROUGH THEIR SERVICE PROVIDER.
- WHAT SOFTWARE DO WE REQUIRE FOR AIB CUSTOMER CARE, GIVEN THAT EW3
SENDS E-MAIL VIA EASYLINK? CAN WE COORDINATE THIS E-MAIL WITH EBS
BANK MAIL? HOW TO RESPOND AND TRACK MESSAGES ACROSS THE DIFFERENT
PLATFORMS?
- THIS REQUIRES AIB TO DEVELOP A PROCESS FOR MANAGING INCOMING MESSAGES
AND RESPONDING IN A TIMELY FASHION.

8. CONSUMER INTERNET ACCESS
AT&T will provide AT&T s WorldNet Service (under a WorldNet contract
between AT&T and each individual User), which includes Internet and World
Wide Web access and use of the Netscape Navigator 2.0 browser. AT&T offers
a variety of options to customize the Netscape Navigator browser, including
branding, pre-configured buttons, and pre-loaded bookmarks.
8.1 USER REQUIREMENTS
During the initial 2 months of the friendly-user trial, AIB will require
its Users to subscribe to AT&T WorldNet Service, insofar as that is the
only Internet access that AT&T can technically support at this time and the
parties desire to obtain meaningful trial feedback. Following the initial 2
months, AIB may allow its Users to utilize Internet access other than AT&T
WorldNet, provided that AIB clearly informs such Users: (i) that AT&T does
not provide support for onboarding, or technical support for the browser or
Internet access, and (ii) where and how, other than through AT&T, such
Users can obtain onboarding and technical support for the browser and
Internet access.
8.2 BROWSER CUSTOMIZATION
- AT&T will customize the browser with the following features:
- NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR AUTOMATICALLY CONNECTS TO THE AIB HOME PAGE
- Pre-loaded bookmarks to AIB-targeted Web sites, e.g.
- Olympics
- Atlanta Braves
- Coca-Cola
NOTE: During the friendly-user trial, AT&T Customer Care will assist
Users in manually establishing these bookmarks in Netscape Navigator.
To simplify the onboarding process, AT&T will explore a procedure for
Pre-configuring the Netscape Navigator software before fulfillment to
the User.
- CUSTOMER CARE AND HELP INTEGRATION SCREENS AND TEXTUAL CONTENT
9. INTERNET BANKING

selects the appropriate hyperlink (e.g. "Banking Transactions" or "Pay Bills"),
a secure session to the EBS server will be initiated. The User must
authenticate by entering a USER_ID and PASSWORD, which is verified against the
BISYS FILE. If the User passes authentication, they are allowed access to the
EBS application and their accounts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- AT&T will manage installation and operations of the EBS and Electronic
Workforce software and hardware. AT&T will link the AIB WWW Site to the
Edify EBS server.
- Through the Service, Edify will provide professional services for the
programming of Edify's systems.
- The Service will provide AIB Users the banking transaction features as
specified in Section 0 via Edify's EBS interface. By identifying the
browser and HTML support, EBS will present either the frames or non-frames
interface.
- Edify will customize EBS per defined customizable areas provided to AIB
(e.g. logo and button names).
- AIB WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF INCORPORATING THE PFS WEB
TEMPLATES.

Re: Trial Agreement dated the date hereof
Ladies and Gentlemen:
AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") and Internet Organizing Group, Inc. ("Internet") have
executed contemporaneously herewith a certain Trial Agreement containing certain
terms and conditions relating to the provision of Internet Banking Services.
Internet is a business corporation organized under the laws of the state of
Georgia. As you are aware, it is presently managing the Internet banking
operations of the "Atlanta Internet Bank," which at the present time is a
product offered by Carolina First Bank, Greenville, South Carolina ("CFB").
Internet has also executed a definitive agreement to acquire Premier Bank,
a federal savings bank. Upon completion of that acquisition, which is scheduled
to occur during the fourth quarter of 1996, CFB will assign the Atlanta Internet
Bank operation to Premier Bank, which will then change its name to Atlanta
Internet Bank.
Internet intends to provide the services provided by the Trial Agreement
only in connection with the operation of the Atlanta Internet Bank as a banking
product presently being offered by CFB, and then subsequently directly through
Premier Bank following the acquisition of that entity.
