         client/program without express written consent of AMEX. AMEX shall have
         all rights in and to the toll-free number(s) upon termination of this
         Agreement and at that time shall assume any and all costs associated
         with these toll-free numbers after any deposits on them, paid by ASF
         are refunded to ASF. AMEX shall have the right to retain and reuse the
         toll-free number(s). AMEX shall have the right to approve ASF's
         telecommunications requirements for marketing response to maximize best
         efforts and professionalism. At AMEX's discretion, ASF will provide, at
         its sole cost and expense, a dedicated toll-free dial transfer number

         termination of this Agreement for any reason, ASF shall continue to
         provide AMEX the dedicated toll-free dial transfer number. After one
         year from the termination of this Agreement, AMEX

         shall be responsible for the cost and expense of such toll-free number,
         and AMEX may use such number in its own discretion.

5.       ASF ACTIVITIES:

a.       Embedded Activities:

         (1)      Embedded Product: At AMEX's discretion, AMEX may require ASF
                  to embed the Required Embedding in the Services provided to
                  AMEX Clients or other existing or potential ASF Clients, and
                  ASF shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to integrate
                  the Required Embedding into a seamless offering of the
                  Services. After mutually agreeable terms to both Parties are
                  reached, ASF may embed in the Services other AMEX products,
                  including Small Business Services, Corporate Card, Business
                  Travel and Purchasing Card services. Any AMEX Embedded
                  Products will, at AMEX's discretion, be clearly identified
                  under the name and brand that AMEX designates. AMEX will use
                  reasonable efforts to customize the AMEX products, at AMEX's
                  expense, that will be embedded in the Services. As mutually
                  agreed by the Parties, ASF may collect payment on any and all
                  Embedded Products as part of the fee structure established
                  with a Client and shall remit any payments so collected to
                  AMEX within 25 days following the end of the month.

         (2)      Referral Activities: ***

         (3)      Review and Audit: If both Parties agree to embed other AMEX
                  products in addition to the Required Embedding with respect to
                  which ASF is due commissions, ASF shall have the audit rights
                  as agreed by the Parties with respect to any commissions owed
                  to ASF by AMEX.

b.       Sales Force Commitment: ASF acknowledges that an adequate and properly
         trained sales force is essential to the successful marketing of the
         Services and agrees that ASF's undertaking to maintain such a sales
         force is a prime consideration of AMEX for entering into and continuing
         this Agreement. *** Both Parties agree to discuss in good faith any

                                       -6-

   
         *** Confidential Treatment Requested; Omitted portions filed

         reasonable requests by the other Party to modify the guidelines. At no
         time will the guidelines provide for a lower standard than internal
         guidelines used by ASF with respect to other activities. ASF covenants
         not to pay the Dedicated Staff less commission or different
         compensation for selling the AMEX Product when compared to other
         Services (including Services marketed through third party
         arrangements).
    

6.       CUSTOMER PROTECTION:

a.       AMEX Customer Protection: ASF acknowledges that unnecessary risk would
         be caused to AMEX if ASF solicited AMEX Customers outside this
         Agreement or otherwise intentionally diluted AMEX's ability to provide
         AMEX Leads to ASF. ASF's agreement, as detailed in this Section, to
         protect AMEX from this risk is a prime consideration of AMEX for
         entering into and continuing this Agreement. ASF will not knowingly
         market any products or services to AMEX Customers other than under the
         terms of this Agreement. ASF covenants:

         ***

b.       ASF Customer Protection: AMEX acknowledges that unnecessary risk would
         be caused to ASF if AMEX solicited ASF Clients outside this Agreement.
         AMEX understands that

         to protect ASF from this risk is a prime consideration of ASF for
         entering into and continuing this Agreement. AMEX will not knowingly
         market another PEO's products or services to ASF Customers other than
         under the terms of this Agreement. AMEX covenants:

10.      INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS:

a.       ASF DE, ASF COMP and ASF TX shall jointly and severally indemnify and
         hold harmless AMEX and each AMEX Indemnitee from and against any
         material Claim incurred by any AMEX Indemnitee which Claim arises out
         of or in connection with: (1) the intentional or negligent act or
         omission of ASF or its Agents in the course of the performance of ASF's
         duties and obligations under this Agreement; (2) the failure of ASF or
         its Agents, as the case may be, to comply with the terms of this
         Agreement; (3) the failure of ASF (including without limitation its
         Agents who perform on behalf of ASF hereunder) to comply with its
         obligations under any and all laws, rules, or regulations applicable to
         ASF, its Agents or the Services, as the case may be; (4) the marketing,
         promotion, sale or provision of any services offered by ASF (other than
         the Embedded Products provided by AMEX), including without limitation
         any federal, state or local taxes, penalties or interest, and
         liabilities to employees of ASF (including liabilities based upon joint
         employer or other theories); or (5) any state or local taxing authority
         which relates to ASF Services excluding any embedded AMEX products.

         Each AMEX Indemnitee seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall
         give prompt notice to ASF along with such AMEX Indemnitee's request for
         indemnification, of any Claim for which it is seeking indemnification.
         The Parties understand and further agree that no settlement of an
         indemnified Claim shall be made by an AMEX Indemnitee without the
         concurrence of ASF. ASF shall control the settlement or defense of any
         Claim; provided, however, that the AMEX Indemnitee may, at its cost,
         engage its own attorneys. The AMEX Indemnitee will fully cooperate with
         ASF to enable it to fulfill its obligations with respect to such Claim.
         All of the provisions in this Section 10(a) shall survive the
         termination of this Agreement.

b.       AMEX shall indemnify and hold harmless ASF and each ASF Indemnitee from
         and against any material Claim reasonably incurred by any ASF
         Indemnitee which Claim arises out of or in connection with the
         intentional or negligent act or omission of AMEX in the course of the
         performance of AMEX's duties and obligations under this Agreement.
