     non-votes continue to have no effect at all.

     THE MATTERS PROPOSED?

A:   The Board of Directors of Billserv, Inc., Inc.

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         The Board of Directors of Billserv, Inc. has currently set the number
of directors constituting the whole board at seven. As established by the
Company's Bylaws, these directors are divided into three classes serving
staggered three-year terms. The directors were re-classified in 2001 as a result
of the increased number of directors serving on the Board.

         The individuals named as proxies will vote the enclosed proxy for the
election of the nominees unless you direct them to withhold your votes. If any
of the nominees become unable to serve as a director before the meeting (or
decides not to serve), the individuals named as proxies may vote for a
substitute or we may reduce the number of members of the Board. We recommend a
vote FOR the nominees.

         Below are the names and ages of the nominees for directors, the years
they became directors, their principal occupations or employment for at least
the past five years and certain of their other directorships, if any.

BOARD REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION POLICY

      Compensation decisions for the executive officers of Billserv, Inc. for
compensation paid during the year ended December 31, 2001, were made by the
Compensation Committee.

      The Company's goal is to attract, retain and reward a highly competent and
productive employee group. To do so, the Board of Directors has determined that
it is in the best interest of the Company to provide a total compensation
package that competes favorably with those offered within the electronic
commerce industry, general industry and the geographic areas in which Billserv,
Inc. operates. The Company's current compensation package includes a mix of base
salary, short-term and long-term incentive opportunities and other employee
benefits. Changes in compensation are based on the individual's performance, the
Company's financial performance and the competitive marketplace. The Board
considers the median level of the market as competitive.

      BASE SALARY. The base salary policy provides for compensation at
      competitive levels. Increases in executive base salary are awarded for
      individual performance based on the executive's performance plan. These
      performance plans contain specific measures, both quantitative and
      qualitative, related to financial achievements of the Company. Increases
      generally reflect established merit increase guidelines applicable to all
      salaried employees.

                                      16.


      OPTION PLANS. In addition to the foregoing, directors, officers and
      employees of Billserv, Inc. may be compensated through awards of options
      to purchase common stock of the Company.

1. The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option
and is calculated by assuming that the fair market value of common stock on the
date of the grant as determined by the Board appreciates at the indicated annual
rate compounded annually for the entire term of the option and that the option
is exercised and the common stock received therefore is sold on the last day of
the term of the option for the appreciated price. The 5% and 10% rates of
appreciation are derived from the rules of the SEC and do not reflect our
estimate of future stock price appreciation. The actual value realized may be
greater or less than the potential realizable values set forth in the table.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

      Billserv, Inc. has entered into employment agreements with its five
executive officers. These agreements expire December 31, 2002 and provide for an
annual salary, bonuses at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and health
benefits. In 2002, each of the named officers are to receive salary compensation
as follows: Mr. Long, $190,000; Mr. Hoch, $175,000; Ms. Hunter, $145,000; Mr.
Diamond, $145,000; and Mr. Millard, $120,000.

      The Company's agreements with its executive officers provide for change in
control protection for each executive, as the Company may terminate any such
agreement not later than thirty (30) days after a change of control. In such
event, the executive would be entitled to deferred compensation. Deferred
compensation is calculated as the greater of (A) the base salary payments the
executive would have received had his or her employment continued for the
remaining term of the agreement (including yearly increases calculated at the
maximum increase for the prior two years); or (B) an amount equal to 2.95 times
the highest annual compensation earned by the executive in the past two years.
In addition, the executive would be entitled to all of the benefits otherwise
provided in the agreement (such as automobile expenses) during a certain period
of time defined in the agreement as the greater of the remaining term of the
agreement or one year. The executive may also be entitled to an amount equal to
the pro rata portion of the bonus compensation for the year in which the
executive's employment


                                      19.


is terminated determined on the basis of the number of days elapsed in such year
prior to such termination. Upon termination of employment, each employee is
prohibited from competing with the Company for a period of two (2) years.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

      Currently, the Compensation Committee consists of Mssrs. Crist,

          APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE 1999 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR PLAN

GENERAL

      On December 16, 1999, the stockholders approved the 1999 Non-Employee
Director Plan of Billserv, Inc., the text of which is attached as ANNEX A to
this Proxy Statement. The Board of Directors now proposes to increase the number
of shares available under the plan by 300,000, for a total of 800,000. The
material features of the Non-Employee Director Plan are discussed below, but the
description is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of
the Non-Employee Director Plan.

      The purpose of the Non-Employee Director Plan is to advance the interests
of the Company by providing additional incentives to attract and retain
qualified and competent non-employee directors, upon whose efforts and judgment
the success of the Company (including its subsidiaries) is largely dependent. In
furtherance of this purpose, the Non-Employee Director Plan authorizes the
granting of non-qualified stock options ("Options") to purchase common stock to
such directors. Currently, a total of 500,000 shares of common stock is reserved
for issuance upon the exercise of the Options. However, the Board of Directors
proposes to amend the Non-Employee Director Plan to increase the number of
shares available to 800,000 shares.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

      Under the Non-Employee Director Plan, options must be granted at an
exercise price per share that is no less than the fair market value of the
common stock at the date of grant. The exercise price of an option may be paid
in cash, certified or cashier's check, money order, or by delivery of already
owned shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the exercise
price (to the extent such shares have been owned by the optionee for at least
six months and only if permitted by the applicable option agreement), or by
delivery of a combination of such methods.


                                      20.


      The options are not assignable or transferable other than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order. During the lifetime of an optionee, the option is exercisable
only by him, his guardian or legal representative.

      The expiration date of each option shall not exceed ten (10) years from
the date of the grant. The Non-Employee Director Plan will automatically
terminate on July 10, 2009, and any option outstanding on such date will remain
outstanding until it has either expired or been exercised.

      The Board of Directors believes that the Non-Employee Director Plan
assists in attracting and retaining qualified non-employee directors and has the
effect of more significantly aligning the interests of the non-employee
directors with the Billserv, Inc. stockholders. The Board of Directors believes
that increasing the number of shares under the Non-Employee Director Plan to
800,000 will also increase this effect.

Shares. Shares issued pursuant to Options granted under this Plan may be issued

Shares. If any Option granted under this Plan shall terminate, expire, or be
canceled or surrendered as to any Shares, new Options may thereafter be granted
covering such Shares. Any Option granted hereunder shall be a Nonqualified Stock
Option.

      4.    AUTOMATIC GRANT OF OPTIONS. (a) Options shall automatically be
granted to Directors as provided in this Section 4. Each Option shall be
evidenced by an option agreement (an "Option Agreement") and shall contain such
terms as are not inconsistent with this Plan or any applicable law. Any person
who files with the Committee, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, a written
waiver of eligibility to receive any Option under this Plan shall not be
eligible to receive any Option under this Plan for the duration of such waiver.

            (b)   The Options automatically granted to Directors under this
Plan shall be in addition to regular director's fees and other benefits with
respect to the Director's position with the Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither
the Plan nor any Option granted under the Plan shall confer upon any person any
right to continue to serve as a Director.


                                      A-2


            (c)   No Options shall otherwise be granted hereunder, and neither

      5.    OPTION PRICE. (a) The Option price per Share of any Option granted
pursuant to this Plan shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the Date of Grant.

      6.    EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Options may be exercised at any time after the
date on which the Options, or any portion thereof, are vested until the Option
expires pursuant to Section 7; provided, however, that no Option shall be
exercisable prior to six (6) months from the Date of Grant. An Option shall be
deemed exercised when (i) the Company has received written notice of such
exercise in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, (ii) full payment
of the aggregate Option price of the Shares as to which the Option is exercised
has been made and (iii) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee in
its sole discretion have been made for the Optionee's payment to the Company of
the amount, if any, that the Committee determines to be necessary for the
Company to withhold in accordance with applicable federal or state income tax
withholding requirements. Pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, tax
withholding requirements, at the option of an Optionee, may be met by
withholding Shares otherwise deliverable to the Optionee upon the exercise of an
Option. Unless further limited by the Committee in any Option Agreement, the
Option price of any Shares purchased shall be paid solely in cash by certified
or cashier's check, by money order, with Shares (but with Shares only if
permitted by the Option Agreement or otherwise permitted by the Committee in its
sole discretion at the time of exercise) or by a combination of the above;
provided, however, that the Committee in its sole discretion may accept a
personal check in full or partial payment of any Shares. If the exercise price
is paid in whole or in part with Shares, the value of the Shares surrendered
shall be their Fair Market Value on the date the Shares are received by the
Company.

      7.    TERMINATION OF OPTION PERIOD. The unexercised portion of an Option
shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void at the
time of the earliest to occur of the following:

            (a)   one (1) year after the date that an Optionee ceases to be a
Director (including for this purpose a Director of a Parent) by reason of death
of the Optionee, or;

            (b)   the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant of the
Option.

      8.    ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. (a) If at any time while this Plan is in
effect or unexercised Options are outstanding, there shall be any increase or
decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares through the declaration
of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization resulting in a stock
split-up, combination or exchange of Shares, then and in such event:


                                      A-3


            (i)   appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number of
      Shares then subject to being optioned under this Plan, so that the same
      proportion of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares shall continue
      to be subject to being so optioned; and

            (ii)  appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of Shares
      and the exercise price per Share thereof then subject to any outstanding
      Option, so that the same proportion of the Company's issued and
      outstanding Shares shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate
      exercise price.

      In addition, the Committee shall make such adjustments in the Option price
and the number of shares covered by outstanding Options that are required to
prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of the holders of such Options
that would otherwise result from any reorganization, recapitalization, stock
split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, issuance of
rights, spin-off or any other change in capital structure of the Company.

            (b)   Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by
the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with
a direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor,
or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such
shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason
thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of or exercise price of Shares
then subject to outstanding Options granted under this Plan.

            (c)   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
existence of outstanding Options granted under this Plan shall not affect in any
manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i)
any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in
the Company's capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or
consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities,
or preferred or preference stock that would rank above the Shares subject to
outstanding Options; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any
sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the
Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar
character or otherwise.

      9.    TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Each Option Agreement shall provide that
such Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order and that, so long as an Optionee lives, only such Optionee or his guardian
or legal representative shall have the right to exercise the related Option

      10.   ISSUANCE OF SHARES. No person shall be, or have any of the rights
or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any of the Shares
subject to an Option unless and until certificates representing such Shares
shall have been issued and delivered to such person. As a condition of any
transfer of the certificate for Shares, the Committee may obtain such


                                      A-4


agreements or undertakings, if any, as it may deem necessary or advisable to
assure compliance with any provision of this Plan, any Option Agreement or any
law or regulation, including, but not limited to. the following:

            (i)   A representation, warranty or agreement by the Optionee to the
      Company, at the time any Option is exercised, that he or she is acquiring
      the Shares to be issued to him or her for investment and not with a view
      to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares;
      and

            (ii)  A representation, warranty or agreement to be bound by any
      legends that are, in the opinion of the Committee, necessary or
      appropriate to comply with the provisions of any securities law deemed by
      the Committee to be applicable to the issuance of the Shares and are
      endorsed upon the Share certificates.

      Share certificates issued to an Optionee who is a party to any stockholder
agreement or a similar agreement shall bear the legends contained in such
agreements.

      11.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. (a) This Plan shall be administered by
a stock option committee (the "Committee") consisting of not fewer than two (2)
members of the Board; provided, however, that if no Committee is appointed, the
Board shall administer this Plan and in such case all references to the
Committee shall be deemed to be references to the Board. The Committee shall
have all of the powers of the Board with respect to this Plan. Any member of the
Committee may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by resolution of
the Board, and any vacancy occurring in the membership of the Committee may be
filled by appointment by the Board.

            (b)   The Committee, from time to time, may adopt rules and
regulations for carrying out the purposes of this Plan. The determinations and
the interpretation and construction of any provision of this Plan by the
Committee shall be final and conclusive.

            (c)   Any and all decisions or determinations of the Committee shall
be made either (i) by a majority vote of the members of the Committee at a
meeting or (ii) without a meeting by the written approval of a majority of the
members of the Committee.

            (d)   This Plan is intended and has been drafted to comply with Rule
16b-3, as amended, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If any
provision of this Plan does not comply with Rule 16b-3, as amended, this Plan
shall be automatically amended to comply with Rule 16b-3, as amended.

            (e)   This Plan shall not be amended more than once every six (6)
months, other than to comport with applicable changes to the Internal Revenue
Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the
rules thereunder.


                                      A-5


      12.   INTERPRETATION. (a) If any provision of this Plan is held invalid
for any reason, such holding shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof,
but instead this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision never
been included in this Plan.

            (b)   THIS PLAN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUPERSEDED BY THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE PROPERTY
LAWS OF ANY STATE.

            (c)   Headings contained in this Plan are for convenience only and
shall in no manner be construed as part of this Plan.

            (d)   Any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender
shall be a reference to such other gender as is appropriate.

      13.   SECTION 83(B) ELECTION. If as a result of exercising an Option an
Optionee receives Shares that are subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture"
and are not "transferable" as those terms are defined for purposes of Section
83(a) of the Code, then such Optionee may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code
to include in his gross income, for his taxable year in which the Shares are
transferred to such Optionee, the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Shares
at the time of transfer (determined without regard to any restriction other than
one which by its terms will never lapse), over the amount paid for the Shares.
If the Optionee makes the Section 83(b) election described above, the Optionee
shall (i) make such election in a manner that is satisfactory to the Committee,
(ii) provide the Company with a copy of such election, (iii) agree to promptly
notify the Company if any Internal Revenue Service or state tax agent, on audit
or otherwise, questions the validity or correctness of such election or of the
amount of income reportable on account of such election, and (iv) agree to such
withholding as the Committee may reasonably require in its sole and absolute
discretion.

      14.   EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION DATE. This Plan is adopted as of
January 4, 1999, but shall only become effective upon effectiveness of the
Company's Registration Statement filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. The effective date of any amendment to the Plan is the date on
which the Board adopted such amendment; provided, however, if this Plan is not
approved by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the
effective date, then, in such event, this Plan and all Options granted pursuant
to this Plan shall be null and void. This Plan shall terminate on July 10, 2009,
and any Option outstanding on such date will remain outstanding until it has
either expired or has been exercised.

                                                                         ANNEX B


                                 Billserv, Inc.

                             Audit Committee Charter



ORGANIZATION

The Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the board of directors (the "Board")
shall be comprised of at least two (2) directors who are independent of
management and Billserv, Inc. (the "Company"). The Board shall appoint the
members of the Committee. Members of the Committee shall be considered
independent if they have no relationship to the Company that may interfere with
the exercise of their independence from management and the Company. All
Committee members will be financially literate, and in particular, the chair of
the Committee will have accounting or related financial management expertise, as
determined in the business judgment of the Board.

The Committee shall have the authority to retain special legal, accounting or
other consultants to advise the Committee. The Committee may request any officer
or employee of the Company or the Company's outside counsel or independent
auditor to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or
consultants to, the Committee.

STATEMENT OF POLICY

The Committee shall provide assistance to the directors in fulfilling their
responsibility to the shareholders, potential shareholders, and investment
community relating to corporate accounting, reporting practices of the Company,
and the quality and integrity of financial reports of the Company. In so doing,
it is the responsibility of the Committee to maintain free and open
communication between the Board, the independent auditors, and the financial
management of the Company.

Consistent with the duties and function of the Board, generally, the Committee
has oversight, not managerial duties and authorities in discharging its
responsibilities. The Committee has only the responsibilities specified below.
Accordingly, it is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct
audits or to determine whether the Company's financial statements are complete
and accurate or are in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles;
rather, those matters are the responsibility of management and the outside
auditor. Similarly, it is not the responsibility of the Committee to conduct
investigations, to ensure compliance with laws or the Company's corporate
compliance program or any code of ethics.

The Committee will, of necessity, rely upon management and the outside audits in
carrying out the responsibilities specified in this Charter. Accordingly, there
can be no assurance that the Company's financial statements will necessarily be
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and not contain any
material inaccuracies, whether or not the Committee discharges the
responsibilities specified in this Charter.

RESPONSIBILITIES


                                      B-1


In carrying out its responsibilities, the Committee believes its policies and
procedures should remain flexible, in order to best react to changing conditions
and to oversee for the Board and shareholders that the corporate accounting and
reporting practices of the Company are in accordance with all requirements and
are of the highest quality.

In carrying out these responsibilities, the Committee shall:

o     Obtain the full Board's approval of this Charter and review and reassess
      this Charter as conditions dictate (at least annually).

o     Review and recommend to the Board the independent auditors to be selected
      to audit the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

o     Review the experience and qualifications of the senior members of the
      independent auditor team and the quality control procedures of the
      independent auditor.

o     Have a clear understanding with the independent auditors that they are
      ultimately accountable to the Board and the Committee, as the
      shareholders' representatives, and that these shareholder representatives
      have the ultimate authority in deciding to engage, evaluate, and if
      appropriate, terminate their services.

o     Review and concur with management's appointment, termination, or
      replacement of the chief financial officer of the Company.

o     Meet with the independent auditors and financial management of the Company
      to review the scope of the proposed audit and timely quarterly reviews for
      the current year and the procedures to be utilized, the adequacy of the
      independent auditor's compensation, and at the conclusion thereof, review
      such audit or review, including any comments or recommendations of the
      independent auditors.

o     Review with the independent auditors, the Company's chief financial
      officer, and financial and accounting personnel, the adequacy and
      effectiveness of the accounting and financial controls of the Company, and
      elicit any recommendations for the improvement of such internal controls
      or particular areas where new or more detailed controls or procedures are
      desirable. Particular emphasis should be given to the adequacy of internal
      controls to expose any payments, transactions, or procedures that might be
      deemed illegal or otherwise improper.

o     Review reports received from regulators and other legal and regulatory
      matters that may have a material effect on the financial statements or
      related Company compliance policies.

o     Retain internal audit services to investigate or review matters that in
      its judgment require independent investigation.

o     Inquire of management, the chief financial officer, and the independent
      auditors about significant risk or exposures and assess the steps
      management has taken to minimize such risks to the Company.


                                      B-2


o     Review the quarterly financial statements with financial management and
      the independent auditors, including the results of the independent
      auditors' reviews of the quarterly financial statements, to determine that
      the independent auditors do not take exception to the disclosure and
      content of the financial statements, and discuss any other matters
      required to be communicated to the Committee by the auditors. The chair of
      the Committee may represent the entire Committee for purposes of this
      review.

o     Review and discuss the audited financial statements to be contained in the
      annual report to shareholders with management and the independent auditors
      to determine that the independent auditors are satisfied with the
      disclosure and content of the financial statements to be presented to the
      shareholders. Review with financial management and the independent
      auditors the results of their timely analysis of significant financial
      reporting issues and practices, including changes in, or adoptions of,
      accounting principles and disclosure practices, and discuss any other
      matters required to be communicated to the Committee by the auditors. Also
      review with financial management and the independent auditors their
      judgments about the quality, not just acceptability, of accounting
      principles and the clarity of the financial disclosure practices used or
      proposed to be used, and particularly, the degree of aggressiveness or
      conservatism of the Company's accounting principles and underlying
      estimates, and other significant decisions made in preparing the financial
      statements. Based on these interviews and discussions, recommend to the
      Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's
      Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year.

o     Provide sufficient opportunity for the independent auditors to meet with
      the members of the Committee without members of management present. Among
      the items to be discussed in these meetings are the independent auditors'
      evaluation of the Company's financial and accounting personnel, and the
      cooperation that the independent auditors received during the course of
      audit, including any restrictions on the scope of activities or access to
      required information, and any disagreements with management.

o     Review accounting and financial human resources and succession planning
      within the Company.

o     Report the results of the annual audit to the board of directors. If
      requested by the Board, invite the independent auditors to attend the full
      Board meeting to assist in reporting the results of the annual audit or to
      answer other directors' questions (alternatively, the other directors,
      particularly any other independent directors, may be invited to attend the
      Committee meeting during which the results of the annual audit are
      reviewed).

o     On an annual basis, obtain from the independent auditors a written
      communication delineating all their relationships and professional
      services as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1,
      Independence Discussions with Audit Committees. In addition, review and
      discuss with the independent auditors the nature and scope of any
      disclosed relationship or professional services and take, or recommend
      that the Board take, appropriate action to ensure the continuing
      independence of the auditors.


                                      B-3


o     Review management's procedures to minimize contracting for consulting and
      other professional services provided by the independent auditor or its
      affiliates.

o     Review the report of the Committee in the annual proxy statement to
      shareholders disclosing whether or not the Committee had reviewed and
      discussed with management and the independent auditors, as well as
      discussed within the Committee (without management or the independent
      auditors present), the financial statements and the quality of accounting
      principles and significant judgments affecting the financial statements.
      In addition, disclose the Committee's conclusion on the fairness of
      presentation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP based on
      those discussions.

o     Submit the minutes of all meetings of the Committee to, or discuss the
      matters discussed at each committee meeting with, the Board.

o     Investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its
      duties, with the power to retain outside counsel for this purpose if, in
      its judgment, that is appropriate.

o     Review the Company's disclosure in any proxy statement for its annual
      meeting of shareholders that describes that the Committee has satisfied
      its responsibilities under this Charter for the prior year. In addition,
      include a copy of this Charter in the annual report to shareholders or the
      proxy statement at least triennially or the year after any significant
      amendment to the Charter.
