San Francisco, CA
Attn: Mr. Ken Woolley, Chairman
Gentlemen:
As you are aware, the undersigned has recently returned to Digital
Courier Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") certificates representing
_____________ shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Shares"). The Shares
were initially acquired by the undersigned from the Company pursuant to the
Company's acquisition of DataBank International, Ltd. ("DataBank"), of which the
undersigned was a shareholder.
The Company has made certain claims, which the undersigned disputes,
relating to the right of the undersigned to the Shares, specifically including
claims that (1) the interest that the undersigned initially acquired in DataBank
should have been made available to the Company, rather than to the undersigned,
when the undersigned acquired it, and (2) the subsequent acquisition of DataBank
by the Company represented some form of "self-interested transaction" as to
which the Company's Board and/or shareholders did not receive adequate
disclosure.
Without admitting that there is any validity to any of the claims being
made by the Company, the undersigned desires to reach a compromise and
settlement of the claims so that the Company and the undersigned can move
forward without continuous allegations regarding such matters. Accordingly, the
undersigned agrees that the Company may retain, and cancel, the Shares, on and
subject to the terms described in this letter. By agreeing to this, the Company,
on its part, acknowledges that the Shares are being accepted by the Company in
complete settlement of any claims or allegations against the undersigned
referred to above. Specifically, but without prejudice to the generality of the
foregoing, the Company agrees that it will not make any claim as to the
legitimacy, legality or propriety of the manner in which the undersigned
acquired its interest in DataBank, or acquired shares of common stock of the
Company in connection with the Company's acquisition of DataBank.
Please sign and return to the undersigned a copy of this letter, reflecting that
it is a binding agreement between the Company and the undersigned.
Very truly yours,
