CLICKSHARE CHOOSES MULTI SERVICE CORP.
FOR BACKEND PROCESSING, CUSTOMER CARE

Nation's sixth-largest private-label credit-card
processor will offer privacy-protected purchasing of
digital content on its websites and to its card issuers

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., Aug. 21, 2001 -- Multi Service Corp., the nation's sixth-largest processor of private-label credit cards, will run the backend transaction-processing services of Clickshare Service Corp., including inbound customer-care management, the two companies said today.

Multi Service will offer to its card-issuing customers Clickshare's platform for multi-site, privacy-protected digital-content purchasing and will use the service on its own consumer websites. Clickshare will offer Multi Service's transaction-processing services to content providers and other partners.

"Over two decades, Multi Service has rapidly expanded its core customer-care and transaction processing leadership in the trucking and aviation industries," said Nell Fields, Clickshare's CEO. "Now, as our primary processing partner, Multi Service will be offering card users a new form of privacy and mobility with the ability to purchase digital content anywhere on any device at any time."

Since 1994, Multi Service, with over $1.5 billion in annual billings, has also developed specialized Internet database and user management technologies and operates a group of specialized websites reached from http://www.multiservice.com/websites/.

"Our alliance with Clickshare results from our conviction that the sale of digital content -- music, text, multi-media entertainment, games, software and services-- represents a multi-billion dollar emerging business opportunity -- the next big frontier for online processing," said Mark O'Connell, Multi Service president. "Clickshare's unique distributed-customer management technology is designed to scale to the opportunity, protecting consumer privacy and the sanctity of consumer relationships with their most-trusted providers such as banks, telcos, ISPs and associations."

The Clickshare Service allows a consumer to have one account at a most-trusted "infomediary", and purchase information from across the web without having to repeatedly enter credit-card information, register repeatedly or surrender personal information. The result is one account, one ID, one-bill simplicity.
