STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This stock purchase agreement ("Agreement") is made effective August
10, 2000 by and between Accesspoint Corporation, a Nevada corporation
("Accesspoint") and the purchaser(s) signatory hereto pursuant to the Signature
Page and Questionnaire ("Private Purchaser"). Accesspoint has received an offer
to purchase certain shares of common voting stock ("Shares") of Accesspoint by
Private Purchaser, and Accesspoint and Private Purchaser agree as set forth
herein and represent to each other with regard thereto as follows:
1. Accesspoint is a duly organized Nevada corporation. The Articles of
Incorporation of Accesspoint were filed on June 16, 1997. Accesspoint is
authorized by its Articles of Incorporation to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of
common voting stock.
2. Neither Accesspoint nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or
representatives have made any representation or statement of opinion regarding
the value of Accesspoint or the Shares, Private Purchaser is purchasing the
Shares purely on a speculative basis and confirms that Private Purchaser has
been given no reason to believe that Private Purchaser will receive any return
on the purchase of Shares.
3. Private Purchaser has offered to purchase the number of Shares at a price per
share set forth on the Signature Page and Questionnaire which is attached
hereto, incorporated herein, and made a part hereof, for a total purchase price
as set forth on the Signature Page and Questionnaire. The purchase price shall
be payable in cash or cash equivalent representing immediately available funds
to the satisfaction of Accesspoint. Private Purchaser shall pay the purchase
price prior to the issuance of the Shares. The Shares may be sold from
authorized but unissued shares of Accesspoint, treasury shares held by
Accesspoint, or shares held by a third party for the benefit of Accesspoint.
4. Private Purchaser understands that Private Purchaser must bear the economic
risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time because the Shares will
be restricted and no public market will exist for the Shares. Private Purchaser
understands the speculative nature of investment in Accesspoint and that Private
Purchaser could lose Private Purchaser's entire purchase price payment.
5. Private Purchaser represents that it has been called to Private Purchaser's
attention that Private Purchaser's proposed investment in Accesspoint involves a
high degree of risk which may result in the loss of the total amount of that
investment.
6. Private Purchaser acknowledges that Accesspoint has made available to Private
Purchaser or Private Purchaser's personal advisors the opportunity to obtain any
and all information required to evaluate the merits and risks of purchase of the
shares, The Accesspoint has, prior to the sale of the Shares, accorded Private
Purchaser and Private Purchaser's representative, if any, the opportunity to ask
questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the
proposed purchase and to obtain any additional information necessary to evaluate
the merits and risks of the purchase.
7. Private Purchaser and (if applicable) Private Purchaser's personal advisors
and representatives have had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive
satisfactory answers from Accesspoint, or any person or persons acting on
Accesspoint's behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of Private Purchaser's
proposed investment in Accesspoint, and all such questions have been answered to
the complete satisfaction of Private Purchaser.
8. Private Purchaser acknowledges that a subsidiary of Accesspoint, Processing
Source International, Inc. ("PSI"), and certain officers of PSI, are subject to
a stipulated judgment and permanent injunction in an action captioned
CARDSERVICE INTERNATIONAL, INC. V. XXXXXXX XXXX, XXXXXX XXXXXX, AND PROCESSING
SOURCE INTERNATIONAL, ET al., filed as case number BC205489 in Superior Court,
Los Angeles County, California.
9. Private Purchaser represents that all of the information provided by Private
Purchaser or Private Purchaser's representatives to Accesspoint is true,
correct, accurate and current and that Private Purchaser is not subject to
backup withholding. Private Purchaser specifically represents that all of the
information provided on the Signature Page and Questionnaire is true, correct,
accurate and current.

may have been provided to Accesspoint, if any, and in any form, is complete and
accurate, and presents a true statement of Private Purchaser's financial
condition.
11. Private Purchaser has adequate means of providing for Private Purchaser's
current needs and possible personal contingencies, and Private Purchaser has no
need in the foreseeable future to sell the Shares for which Private Purchaser
hereby subscribes. Private Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of
Private Purchaser's purchase of Shares and, consequently, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Private Purchaser is able to hold Private
Purchaser's Shares for an indefinite period of time, and Private Purchaser has a
sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of Private Purchaser's entire investment
in Accesspoint in the event such loss should occur.

interest with others or of reselling or otherwise disposing of all or any
portion of the same. Private Purchaser shall not engage in a distribution of the
Shares.
15. Private Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that Private Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of an investment in Accesspoint or(if applicable) Private Purchaser and
Private Purchaser's Representative, together, have such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters that Private Purchaser and Private Purchaser's
Private Purchaser Representative are capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of the Prospective investment in Accesspoint.
16. The Shares will be acquired for Private Purchaser's own account for
investment in a manner which would not require registration pursuant to the
provisions of the Act, as amended, and Private Purchaser does not now have any
reason to anticipate any change in Private Purchaser's circumstances or other
particular occasion or event which would cause Private Purchaser to sell or
otherwise dispose of the Shares.
17. Private Purchaser understands that the Commissioner of Corporations for the
State of California or any other state ("Commissioner") has not or will not
recommend or endorse a purchase of the Shares.
