Recitals

WHEREAS, FDR and Customer wish to enter into this Agreement in order for FDR to provide and for Customer to receive data processing and related services in connection with Customer's Accounts;

NOW THEREFORE, FDR and Customer agree as follows:

Article 1
Definitions and Interpretation

Section 1.1. Definitions. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in Exhibit C.

Section 1.2. Interpretation. Each definition in this Agreement includes the singular and the plural and the word "including" means "including but not limited to". References to any statute or regulation means such statute or regulation as amended at the time and includes any successor statute or regulation. The section headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience and shall not be considered in its interpretation. The Exhibits referred to throughout this Agreement are attached hereto and are incorporated herein.

Article 2
Services

Section 2.1. Services. FDR shall make available to and perform for Customer those services described in Exhibit A (the "Services"). Exhibit A and any document or service referred to in Exhibit A shall be subject to periodic revision by FDR to reflect changes (i) to the FDR System or the services provided by FDR and offered generally to FDR customers and (ii) in the specific Services provided to Customer. The Services shall be made available to Customer in the United States to permit processing of Transaction Cards used by Customer's Clients worldwide through the clearing and settlement networks of the Networks, VISA and MasterCard. The offline debit card processing Services shall be performed substantially in accordance with the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit "G".

Section 2.2. Enhancements.

(a) Customer may periodically request customizations, enhancements, additions or modifications (each an "Enhancement") to the FDR System. FDR shall evaluate all such requests and, if terms and conditions can be agreed to (which shall include payment by Customer of FDR's development charges), FDR shall develop and implement each such Enhancement on terms and conditions agreed to by the parties. Timing of any Enhancement is subject to scheduling and prioritization by FDR of FDR's available resources, provided that FDR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely respond to Customer's requests and resource requirements. FDR may withhold its consent to an Enhancement which, in FDR's sole discretion, would materially and adversely affect FDR's operations. Any Enhancement shall remain solely the property of FDR and Customer shall acquire no right, claim or interest in the FDR System. Subject to the foregoing, after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, FDR agrees not to exercise any of its intellectual property rights in any Enhancement paid for exclusively by Customer to prevent Customer from directly or indirectly replicating and redeveloping such Enhancement or using the results of such replication and redevelopment efforts, provided that no code, documentation, or specifications to the Enhancement or any other aspect or component of the FDR System is hereby granted or licensed to Customer, by implication or otherwise, and FDR shall be the sole owner of all property rights and intellectual property rights in connection therewith during and after the Term of this Agreement.

[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

(b) Customer understands that it is FDR's practice to provide any Enhancements developed by FDR, whether requested and paid for by its customers or based upon FDR's development and its expense, to its entire customer base. In the event that FDR develops an Enhancement at the request of Customer and the development costs and expenses are paid solely by Customer and FDR's customer base commences to use such after its implementation for Customer, then FDR shall reimburse Customer for the development costs and expenses paid by Customer to FDR as provided for in this Section 2.2(b). In order for Customer to be eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), the Enhancement must (i) require at least one hundred (100) programming hours, and (ii) generate gross revenues from other FDR customers in excess of $1,000,000 within four (4) years of initial implementation. If any such Enhancement meets the reimbursement criteria, at the conclusion of each of Processing Years 1 through 4, FDR will reimburse Customer's development expense, but not to exceed the lesser of Customer's total expenditures or fifty percent (50%) of the gross revenues received from other FDR customers during each such Processing Year for the use of such qualified Enhancement. Additionally, in the event that FDR develops an Enhancement at the request of Customer and the development costs and expenses are paid solely by Customer and give Customer a demonstrable competitive advantage in the debit card issuing marketplace, FDR agrees not to make such Enhancement available to FDR's customer base for six (6) months after such Enhancement is made available to Customer.

Section 2.3. Start-Up.

(a) FDR shall provide, subject to the applicable approvals of MasterCard (including but not limited to the approvals in Exhibit H) and the Networks, for completion of the initial Start-Up within sixty (60) days of execution of this Agreement or at a later date as may be mutually agreed upon by FDR and Customer (the "Scheduled Start-Up Date"). To the extent that FDR and Customer mutually agree, the Scheduled Start-Up Date may be modified from time to time prior to Start-Up.

(b) Customer will (i) use all reasonable resources, including the assignment of adequate personnel to assure timely performance of those functions required of Customer under the Start-Up, and (ii) comply with any reasonable directions of FDR so as to enable Start-Up to be completed on or before the Scheduled Start-Up Date.

(c) FDR will use all reasonable resources, including the assignment of adequate personnel to assure timely performance of those functions required of FDR under the Start-Up so as to enable Start-Up to be completed on or by the Scheduled Start-Up Date.

(d) Provided that FDR has performed its obligations pursuant to this Section 2.3, Customer agrees to pay the initial Start-Up Fee as provided for in Exhibit "A", Section V, Paragraph (e). In addition, each party shall be responsible for and pay all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the Start-Up.

Section 2.4. Compliance With Law.

(a) FDR and Customer acknowledge that Customer is subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws, regulations and judicial and administrative decisions and interpretations applicable to its Transaction Card business, including without limitation those pertaining to equal credit opportunity, truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, fair debt collection practices and general consumer protection (the "Legal Requirements"). The parties shall cooperate with each other in resolving issues relating to compliance with the Legal Requirements in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4.

(b) Customer is solely responsible for (i) monitoring and interpreting the Legal Requirements, (ii) determining the particular actions, disclosures, formulas, calculations and procedures required for

compliance with the Legal Requirements (whether to be performed by FDR or by Customer) and (iii) maintaining an ongoing program for compliance with the Legal Requirements. In addition, Customer is solely responsible for reviewing and selecting the parameter settings and programming features and options within the FDR System that will apply to Customer's Transaction Card programs, and for determining that its selection of such settings, features and options is consistent with the Legal Requirements and with the terms and conditions of Customer's accounts and disclosures to such Cardholders. In making such determinations, Customer may rely on the written description of such settings, features and options in the User Manuals, customer bulletins and other system documentation provided by FDR to Customer.

(c) FDR is solely responsible for compliance with all laws, regulations and judicial and administrative decisions applicable to FDR as a third party provider of data processing services. FDR will not be responsible for any violation by Customer of a Legal Requirement to the extent such violation occurs as a result of performance by FDR of the Services in accordance with the FDR System documentation, instructions of Customer or written procedures provided by or approved by Customer.

(d) Subject to the terms of Article 10, FDR and Customer shall cooperate with each other in providing information or records in connection with examinations, requests or proceedings of each other's and Sponsor Bank's regulatory authorities.

Section 2.5. Execution by Affiliates. Each of Customer's Affiliates which receives any of the Services shall be required to execute an Affiliate Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. In no event shall FDR be required to perform any of the Services for any such Affiliate prior to the execution of an Affiliate Agreement by such Affiliate. All representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed given and made by Customer's Affiliate upon execution of an Affiliate Agreement.

Section 2.6. Sponsorship with VISA and/or MasterCard. During the Term of this Agreement, Customer shall conduct its business and make all undertakings reasonable or necessary in order that Customer's Accounts may be eligible for sponsorship by a Sponsor Bank member of the Networks, VISA and/or MasterCard. Customer acknowledges that neither FDR nor the Sponsor Bank shall be required to provide any Service under this Agreement or sponsor the Customer's Accounts to the extent the Service or sponsorship requires or may require actions or undertakings which in the reasonable discretion of FDR or the Sponsor Bank are not permitted by the Networks, VISA and/or MasterCard. During the Term hereof, Customer and FDR shall reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with the Sponsor Bank and any successor Sponsor Bank and other aspects of Customer's Accounts with its Clients, including but not limited to disclosures to Customer's Clients.

Article 3
Exclusivity, Acquired Portfolios and Merger or Change of Control

Section 3.1. Sole and Exclusive Provider. During the Term, FDR shall be the sole and exclusive provider to Customer and its Affiliates of all signature and PIN based Transaction Card processing services for credit card and debit card issuing, and transaction processing, clearing and settlement through the Networks and VISA and MasterCard, and each of Customer and its Affiliates shall neither perform or provide any service similar to such services for itself nor engage any third party to perform or provide any such services. Anything in this Section 3.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, FDR understands that at the time of the execution of this Agreement Customer has issued and is receiving processing services from a third party in connection with certain debit accounts issued pursuant to VISA "BIN" 443105 (the "Excluded BIN"). Nothing in this Section 3.1 shall prevent Customer from maintaining and adding debit card accounts to the Excluded BIN during the Term of this Agreement.

Section 3.2. Acquired FDR Portfolios. If Customer or any of its Affiliates ("Purchaser") Acquires any accounts for which FDR is then providing services similar to the Services (an "FDR Portfolio"),

FDR shall continue to perform the services pursuant to the pre-existing service agreement (the "Existing FDR Agreement") which shall remain in effect through the expiration of its then-current term. On the expiration of the Existing FDR Agreement and transfer of the FDR Portfolio to Customer on the FDR System, the FDR Portfolio shall be processed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. FDR shall not include the volumes from the FDR Portfolio in any volume based price schedules set forth in Exhibit A until such time as the Existing FDR Agreement expires and there is a transfer of the FDR Portfolio to Customer on the FDR System. Such transfer of the FDR Portfolio shall occur on a mutually agreed upon date. In connection with such transfer, Customer shall bear the costs and expenses of such transfer, at the then-standard hourly rates of FDR plus related material charges.

Section 3.3. Acquired Non-FDR Portfolios.

(a) If Purchaser Acquires any accounts that require services substantially similar to the services for which FDR is the sole and exclusive provider to Customer pursuant to Section 3.1, but for which FDR is not then providing such services (a "Non-FDR Portfolio"), Customer shall use its reasonable best efforts to start-up such Non-FDR Portfolio to the FDR System within six (6) months after the closing of the Acquisition or, if Customer is bound by the terms of an existing agreement to obtain processing services for such portfolio (an "Existing Non-FDR Agreement"), upon the expiration of the then-remaining term of the Existing Non-FDR Agreement, whichever is later. If Purchaser is bound by an Existing Non-FDR Agreement, then, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Non-FDR Portfolio shall continue to be processed pursuant to such Existing Non-FDR Agreement through its expiration date. In connection with any such start-up, FDR shall have a reasonable period of time to perform due diligence and propose a start-up plan. Unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the start-up plan as mutually agreed to by the parties, Customer shall pay all charges for start-up of each Non-FDR Portfolio including (A) FDR's standard start-up charges (at $150/hour for resources plus related materials charges), and (B) any charges (at $150/ hour for resources plus related materials charges) associated with any customization of the FDR System specified in the start-up plan applicable to each such Non-FDR Portfolio. Any such customization shall remain solely the property of FDR, and Customer shall acquire no right, claim, or interest in the FDR System or any customization thereof during or after the Term.

(b) If Purchaser and FDR agree that the remaining term of an Existing Non-FDR Agreement will not provide adequate time to prepare for an orderly start-up to the FDR System, Purchaser may extend the term of such Existing Non-FDR Agreement after it Acquires the Non-FDR Portfolio; provided, however, that no such extension may cause the term of such Existing Non-FDR Agreement to extend to a date which is more than six (6) months after Customer's Acquisition of the Non-FDR Portfolio. In addition, Customer shall deliver any written notice which is required to prevent an automatic extension or renewal of such Existing Non-FDR Agreement.

(c) Purchaser shall notify FDR, in writing, within thirty (30) days after the execution of any binding agreement to Acquire a Non-FDR Portfolio if Purchaser intends to obtain processing services pursuant to an Existing Non-FDR Agreement and shall use its best efforts to provide FDR with a copy of the provisions of such Existing Non-FDR Agreement dealing with the term, renewal and termination thereof upon the execution by FDR of any appropriate confidentiality agreement that may be required, unless prohibited by the terms of such Existing Non-FDR Agreement.

Section 3.4. Disposition of Portfolios. Upon the sale or other disposition by Customer of all or any portion of Customer's accounts (the "Former Accounts"), FDR will cooperate in the Deconversion of the Former Accounts from the FDR System, and upon Deconversion shall no longer be obligated to provide Services for the Former Accounts for Customer pursuant to this Agreement and Customer and FDR agree that there shall be no reduction in the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee or the Minimum Processing Fees set forth in Section 4.4.

Section 3.5. Merger or Change of Control. If Customer is merged into an Entity that, prior to such merger, was not an Affiliate of Customer, and such Entity is the survivor of such merger (the "Surviving Entity"), then (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to all Customer Accounts which were subject to this Agreement prior to such merger, but shall not apply to any accounts of the Surviving Entity or any of its Affiliates which were not subject to this Agreement prior to such merger and (ii) the Surviving Entity, as Customer's successor-in-interest, shall continue to be bound by Customer's obligations hereunder. If there is a Change of Control of Customer, then the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to all Customer Accounts of Customer and its Affiliates immediately prior to such Change of Control, but shall not apply to any accounts of the Entity that Acquires Control of Customer and its Affiliates which were not subject to this Agreement prior to such Change of Control.

Article 4
Payment for Services

Section 4.1. Processing Fees. Customer shall pay FDR the Processing Fees set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement. For each Processing Year after Processing Year 1, FDR may increase each line item of Processing Fees set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement which were in effect for the immediately preceding Processing Year by [*] increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") as described below but only to the extent the CPI in any such Processing Year shall exceed [*]. For purposes hereof, the CPI shall be the index compiled by the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers ("CPI-U") having a base of 100 in 1982-84, using that portion of the index which appears under the caption "Other Goods and Services." The percentage increase in the CPI shall be calculated as of ninety (90) days in advance of the effective date of such increase, by comparing the CPI using a twelve (12) month period ending three (3) months prior to the effective date of such increase and expressing the increase in said CPI through the twelve (12) month period as a percentage.

Section 4.2. Special Fees. Customer shall pay to FDR the Special Fees for amounts paid to third-party providers, computed in accordance with Exhibit A to this Agreement. If, at any time while this Agreement is in effect, the charges are increased to FDR for items which are included in the Special Fees or FDR obtains communication or other services included in the Special Fees by another method, resulting in an increase in the charges to FDR for such items, then FDR shall increase by an equal amount the Special Fees Customer is then paying FDR for such items under this Agreement. Such price change by FDR shall be effective on the effective date of the increase to FDR.

Section 4.3. New Products. If FDR commences to offer any new services or products generally to its customers and Customer elects to use any such service or product, or if Customer elects to use services or products which Customer had not previously elected to use, then FDR shall provide such service or product at FDR's then-current fees and charges for such service or product or such other price as FDR and Customer may mutually agree.

Section 4.4. Minimum Fees.

(a) In Processing Year 1, Customer will require and shall pay FDR for Services sufficient to generate aggregate Processing Fees at least equal to [*] (the "Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee"). In each Processing Year after Processing Year 1, except as provided in subsection (b), Customer will require and shall pay FDR for Services sufficient to generate aggregate Processing Fees at least equal to [*] of the Processing Fees paid during the immediately preceding Processing Year, but in no event less than [*] in each such Processing Year (the "Minimum Processing Fees"). FDR shall calculate the total Processing Fees paid by Customer in respect of Services performed during each Processing Year (the "Total Annual Processing Fees") within ninety (90) days after the end of each Processing Year and will, after ten (10) days written notice to Customer, draw upon Customer's account pursuant to

Section 4.5 of this Agreement for the amount, if any, by which the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fees or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year exceed the Total Annual Processing Fees for the Processing Year. For the avoidance of doubt and based on economic assumptions material to each party underlying this transaction, Customer and FDR expressly agree that Customer shall pay FDR Processing Fees each Processing Year in an amount at least equal to the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, until this Agreement is terminated by Customer pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9.2(a) or 9.2(b), or after Customer shall have paid FDR the Minimum Processing Fees for the year of termination as determined pursuant to this subsection (a) in the case of a termination pursuant to Sections 9.2(d) or 9.2(e) or pursuant to subsection (b) below in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.2(c), or until FDR terminates this Agreement and invokes compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4.

(b) If Customer shall elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.2(c), then in the Processing Year in which the Deconversion shall occur, the Minimum Processing Fees for such Processing Year shall be at least equal to [*] of the Processing Fees paid during the immediately preceding Processing Year, but prorated for the number of calendar months which will have expired as of the date the final Deconversion shall occur. The payment of the Minimum Processing Fees by Customer shall be prior to Deconversion.

Section 4.5. Method of Payment. To facilitate the payment of Processing Fees, Special Fees, compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4 of this Agreement and any other fee, tax, interest payment, charge or amount due or payable to FDR under this Agreement, Customer shall provide FDR with access to a bank account of Customer's funds not requiring signature including notifying FDR of the demand deposit account number and transit routing number for the account. FDR may draw upon the bank account to pay fees, taxes, interest payments, charges, or any other amount due or payable to FDR under the terms of this Agreement. The detailed records of the amounts drawn on the account of Customer will be provided by FDR to Customer on a monthly basis. FDR shall be under no obligation to effect any Start-Up until the account has been established as provided herein.

Section 4.6. Interest. If FDR is unable to obtain payment of Processing Fees, Special Fees, compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4 of this Agreement or any other fee, tax, interest payment, charge or amount due or payable to FDR under this Agreement at the time provided for payment under this Agreement, the unpaid amount of any Processing Fees, Special Fees, compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4 of this Agreement or other fee, tax, interest payment, charge or amount shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lesser of (a) [*], or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, from the date on which payment should have been available until the date on which FDR receives the payment. In the event Customer disputes any amount payable to FDR pursuant to Section 5.1, any amount which is paid by Customer and later determined not to have been payable shall bear interest from the date paid until refunded by FDR to Customer at the applicable rate set forth above.

Section 4.7. Taxes.

(a) Customer shall pay all taxes and similar charges, however designated, which are imposed by any governmental authority by reason of FDR's fulfillment of its obligations hereunder except for income taxes payable by FDR on amounts earned by FDR or property taxes payable by FDR on property owned by FDR. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer shall promptly pay FDR for any amounts actually paid or required to be collected or paid by FDR.

(b) Customer authorizes FDR to calculate the total amount of sales taxes due from Customer hereunder. Customer shall supply FDR with all information necessary for FDR to compute and remit the taxes (including any tax-exempt certificate, claim letter, or similar documentation). FDR shall remit the sales taxes to the appropriate taxing authority on behalf of Customer based on the information available to FDR. If FDR underpays or overpays such sales taxes, Customer shall be responsible for

promptly paying any shortfalls (including any penalties or interest) and for collecting any refunds from the appropriate taxing authority; provided, however, if such underpayment is solely the result of the negligence of FDR, FDR shall be responsible for any penalties associated with such underpayment.

Section 4.8. Deconversion. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, FDR shall provide Deconversion assistance to Customer as Customer may reasonably request, provided however, that in no event shall FDR be obligated to Deconvert any of Customer's Accounts until a date which is mutually agreed upon and at least thirty (30) days but not greater than six (6) months after notice by Customer to FDR requesting such Deconversion, provided that if such notice is given and the six (6) month period ends during the FDR System "freeze period" which occurs annually between the third weekend in November and the third week in January, then the period in which to complete the Deconversion shall be extended until the February implementation date following the expiration of such "freeze period." Except in the event of Deconversion occurring as a result of termination of the Agreement by Customer pursuant to Sections 9.2(a) or 9.2(b), Customer shall pay FDR, the rate of $150/hour for resources for each activity completed by FDR in order to accomplish the Deconversion and for all costs, including postage or shipping, of complying with Section 10.1. FDR agrees that it will not interfere with efforts that Customer may undertake upon Deconversion to retain its Accounts' BINs or ICAs following Deconversion through a separate agreement with the Sponsor Bank; provided however, that nothing contained herein shall require FDR or Sponsor Bank to transfer the BINs or ICAs used in connection with Customer's Accounts to Customer or any third party.

Article 5
Dispute Resolution and Indemnification

Section 5.1. Informal Dispute Resolution. Any controversy or claim between FDR and Customer arising from or in connection with this Agreement whether based on contract, tort, common law, equity, statute, regulation, order or otherwise ("Dispute"), shall be resolved as follows:

(a) upon written request of either FDR or Customer, the parties shall each appoint a representative to meet and attempt to resolve such Dispute;

(b) the designated representatives shall meet as often as the parties reasonably deem necessary to discuss the problem in an effort to resolve the Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding; and

(i) the date that the designated representatives conclude in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely; or

(ii) thirty (30) days after the date that either party requested negotiation of the Dispute pursuant to Section 5.1(a) of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.1 shall not be construed to prevent a party from instituting formal proceedings at any time to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors or to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief pursuant to Section 10.7.

Section 5.2. Arbitration. If Customer and FDR are unable to resolve any Dispute in the manner set forth in Section 5.1, such Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in the manner set forth in Exhibit D.

Section 5.3. Indemnification. The indemnification rights and obligations of Customer and FDR under this Agreement are contained in Exhibit E.

Article 6
Limitation on Liability

Section 6.1. Limitation on Liability. FDR's cumulative liability for any loss or damage, direct or indirect, for any cause whatsoever (including, but not limited to those arising out of or related to this Agreement) with respect to claims (whether third party claims, indemnity claims or otherwise) relating to events in any one Processing Year shall not under any circumstances exceed the lesser of (a) the Minimum Processing Fees for such Processing Year and, in the case of Processing Year 1, the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee or (b) the amount of the Processing Fees paid to FDR pursuant to this Agreement for Services performed in the immediately preceding Processing Year, and, in the case of Processing Year 1, the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee.

Section 6.2. No Special Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, IT BEING FURTHER UNDERSTOOD THAT THE CUSTOMER'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED BY THIS SECTION 6.2.

Article 7
Disclaimer of Warranties

Section 7.1. Disclaimer. FDR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT IS A SERVICE AGREEMENT AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SHALL NOT APPLY TO IT.

Article 8
Term of Agreement

Section 8.1. Term. This Agreement is effective from the Effective Date and shall extend for five (5) Processing Years (the "Original Term"). Processing Year 1 of the Term shall commence on the earlier of: (i) the first day of the calendar month immediately subsequent to the completion of the initial Start Up provided for in Section 2.3 or (ii) six (6) calendar months after the Effective Date. For purposes of this Agreement, each subsequent "Processing Year" means each twelve (12) month period commencing on the expiration of the previous Processing Year in which Services are performed.

Article 9

(e) upon prior notice if a Network, VISA or MasterCard determines that the continued operation by Customer of Customer's Transaction Card program (as facilitated through the FDR Services and the sponsorship by Sponsor Bank) is in direct competition with the Network, VISA or MasterCard in violation of any standard, guideline, rule, regulation or requirement in existence as of the date hereof (except if such determination arises as a result of an order, decree, memorandum of understanding, agreement or similar basis which was initiated by or as a result of state or federal law or regulatory authorities, or involves Customer's breach of its covenants in Section 11.3), and the Network, VISA or MasterCard issues Customer, FDR or Sponsor Bank a cease and desist or similar order regarding Customer's Transaction Card program.

Section 9.3. Effect of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, FDR shall have no further obligation to provide the Services to Customer and all outstanding unpaid amounts due and owing to FDR shall become immediately due and payable. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not affect the following:

(a) the obligation of Customer to pay for Services rendered or any other obligation or liability owing or which becomes owing under this Agreement whether the obligations arise prior to or after the date of termination including the obligations to make the payments provided in Article 4 of this Agreement, Sections 9.4 and 9.5 of this Agreement and as described under "Trailing Activity" in Exhibit F to this Agreement;

(b) the obligations set forth in this Agreement in connection with any Network Agreement or any third party software pursuant to Exhibit A;

(d) the obligations in Section 11.3(b) which shall survive until the latest to occur of the following: (i) ninety (90) days after Deconversion, (ii) during any period while any Dispute shall be ongoing, or (iii) during any period while Customer has any remaining claim or obligation which is not fully satisfied under this Agreement, including indemnity obligations in accordance with Exhibit E or Trailing Activity in accordance with Exhibit F.

Section 9.4. Payments Upon Termination.

(a) If FDR terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, other than pursuant to Section 9.1(j), or if Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(e), Customer and FDR agree that, based on economic assumptions material to each party, Customer shall make a compensatory payment to FDR. Such compensatory payment shall be made by Customer upon termination by FDR or Customer, and prior to Deconversion, and shall equal the sum of:

(i) the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee or Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, as set forth in Section 4.4(a) of this Agreement, for the Processing Year in which the termination occurs (after crediting Customer for any Processing Fees paid for Services provided in such Processing Year); and the amount set forth in subsections (ii) or (iii) below, as applicable

(ii) except as provided in subsection (iii) below, the sum of the present values of a payment in each full Processing Year (other than the year of termination) which remains during the Term of this Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable percentage set forth below for the Processing Year in which termination occurs multiplied by the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fees or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs. The applicable percentage shall be as follows:

Processing Year in which termination occurs		Applicable Percentage
Processing Year 1		[*]
Processing Year 2		[*]
Processing Year 3		[*]
Processing Year 4		[*]

(iii) in the event the Agreement shall be terminated by FDR pursuant to Section 9.1(k) or by Customer pursuant to Section 9.2(e), the present value of a payment in the next full Processing Year (other than the year of termination) which remains during the Term of this Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable percentage set forth in subsection (ii) above, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs multiplied by the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fees or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs.

(b) In determining the present value of the amount set forth in subsection (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above, an interest rate equal to [*], as quoted by The Wall Street Journal for the date on which termination occurs, or if not available on the date of termination, as soon thereafter as the next edition of The Wall Street Journal is published, shall be assumed and the payments shall be assumed to be made on the first day of each Processing Year.

(c) FDR and Customer agree that the compensatory payments as set forth in Section 9.4(a) are a reasonable estimation, as of the date of this Agreement, of the actual damages which FDR would suffer if FDR were to fail to receive the processing business for the full Term. In making such determination, the parties have considered all relevant factors known to the parties as of the date hereof and have given special consideration to the particular circumstances which may attend each particular termination event including the allocation of risks associated therewith between the parties. If not but for the full consideration of all relevant factors known to the parties as of the date hereof, and the payments to be made pursuant to this Section 9.4, neither party would have been willing to enter into this Agreement.

(d) Despite the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.4 shall limit FDR's right to recover from Customer any amounts for which Customer is otherwise liable under this Agreement, except that upon payment of amounts due under Section 9.4(a), Customer shall not be responsible for Minimum Processing Fee shortfalls after the year of termination.

Section 9.5. Payments Upon Termination Pursuant to Section 9.2(c). If Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(c), Customer shall not be required to make any payment to FDR pursuant to Section 9.4 but Customer shall be responsible for Minimum Processing Fee shortfalls, if any, pursuant to Section 4.4(b) for the Processing Year in which termination is effective but not for any subsequent Processing Years.

Customer shall not obtain any proprietary rights in any proprietary or confidential information which has been or is disclosed to Customer by FDR, including without limitation, any data or information that is a trade secret or competitively sensitive material, User Manuals; screen displays and formats; computer software, systems, products, system architecture and documentation related to each of the foregoing, in each case, whether owned, licensed or otherwise provided or used by FDR; software performance results; flow charts and other specifications (whether or not electronically stored), data and data formats (collectively, "FDR's Proprietary Information") whether any of the materials are developed or purchased specifically for performance of this Agreement or otherwise. Customer shall return to FDR all of FDR's Proprietary Information upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.3. Confidentiality of Agreement. Except as required by law, Customer shall keep confidential and not disclose, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and independent contractors to keep confidential and not disclose, any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of FDR. FDR shall be permitted to disclose Customer's Proprietary Information to Sponsor Bank as necessary to perform FDR's obligations under this Agreement.

Section 10.4. Confidentiality. FDR and Customer shall maintain Customer's Proprietary Information and FDR's Proprietary Information, respectively, in strict confidence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, FDR and Customer each agree:

(a) not to disclose or permit any other person or Entity access to Customer's Proprietary Information or FDR's Proprietary Information, as appropriate, except that the disclosure or access shall be permitted to an employee, officer, director, agent, representative, external or internal auditors or independent contractor of the party requiring access to the same in the course of his or her employment or services;

(b) to ensure that its employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives and independent contractors are advised of the confidential nature of Customer's Proprietary Information and FDR's Proprietary Information, as appropriate, and are precluded from taking any action prohibited under this Article 10, provided that in any event Customer and FDR shall each be liable for any breach of this Article 10 by their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives and independent contractors, and FDR shall be liable to Customer for breach of this Article 10 by Sponsor Bank;

(c) not to alter or remove any identification, copyright or proprietary rights notice which indicates the ownership of any part of Customer's Proprietary Information or FDR's Proprietary Information, as appropriate; and

Despite the foregoing, FDR and Customer agree that Customer's Proprietary Information and FDR's Proprietary Information may be made available to VISA, MasterCard, Network or to supervisory or regulatory authorities of Customer and Sponsor Bank upon the written request of any of the foregoing.

Section 10.6. Exclusions. Nothing in this Article 10 shall restrict either party with respect to information or data identical or similar to that contained in Customer's Proprietary Information or FDR's Proprietary Information, as appropriate, but which: (a) the receiving party can demonstrate was rightfully possessed by it before it received the information from the disclosing party; (b) was in the public domain prior to the date of this Agreement or subsequently becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party or any person or Entity acting on its behalf; (c) was previously received by the receiving party from a third party or is subsequently furnished rightfully to the receiving party by a third party (no Affiliate of FDR or Customer shall be considered to be a third party) not known to be under restrictions on use or disclosure; (d) is independently developed by such party; (e) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation or court order, provided that the disclosing party will exercise reasonable efforts to notify the other party prior to disclosure in order that the other party may seek a protective order; or (f) is required to be disclosed to comply with or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, provided that the disclosing party will exercise reasonable efforts to notify the other party prior to disclosure in order that the other party may seek a protective order.

Section 10.7. Remedy. If either party breaches this Article 10, the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable harm and the total amount of monetary damages for any injury to such party will be impossible to calculate and therefore an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the non-breaching party may (a) seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief against the breaching party or (b) exercise any other rights and seek any other remedies to which the non-breaching party may be entitled to at law, in equity and under this Agreement for any violation of this Article 10.

(d) Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Customer shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) deposit, process, settle, and administer all financial transactions on behalf of and with its Clients in accordance with the PayPal process flow description set forth in Exhibit H hereto.

Section 12.15. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended except by a writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties to this Agreement.

EXHIBIT F

INTERCHANGE SETTLEMENT

Interchange Settlement Account. In order for FDR to provide its Services to Customer pursuant to this Agreement, it is necessary for FDR to handle and settle Interchange Settlement for Customer through the international Interchange networks of the Networks, MasterCard and VISA. Customer understands that FDR handles the Interchange Settlement with the Networks, MasterCard and VISA for its clients including Customer on a net settlement basis (the "Settlement System"). To facilitate the Settlement System, FDR has established, will establish or will direct Customer to establish and may in the future establish or direct Customer to establish one or more interchange settlement Central Clearing Accounts (collectively the "Settlement Account") at one or more banks.

Transfer of Funds. FDR shall calculate and inform Customer on each business day of the amount of funds to be transferred (the "Daily Amount") as the result of (a) current transaction processing, and (b) funding required for incoming transactions of Customer. If the Daily Amount is negative, Customer shall transfer or make available for transfer via Fed Wire Drawdown to the Settlement Account by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time Zone, an amount equal to the Daily Amount. If the Daily Amount is positive, FDR will transfer to Customer, or will cause the Networks, MasterCard or VISA to transfer to Customer, immediately available funds equal to the Daily Amount prior to the close of business of the Federal Reserve System in New York on such date.

Daily Amount. The Daily Amount shall equal (a) the Net Settlement Amount for Customer, plus (b) the amount necessary to fund incoming Interchange transactions not yet processed, determined in accordance with the FDR Settlement Rules, minus (c) the amount previously advanced by Customer with respect to prior incoming Interchange transactions for which processing is complete.

Failure to Transfer. In the event of the failure of Customer on any business day when required by the terms of this Agreement or the FDR Settlement Rules, to transfer or make available for transfer via Fed Wire Drawdown the Daily Amount to the Settlement Account, FDR may refuse, without incurring any liability to Customer, to act as Customer's agent in discharging any Network, MasterCard and VISA Interchange obligations of Customer and shall have the right to immediately notify the Networks, MasterCard and VISA that it will no longer cause the Networks, MasterCard and VISA Interchange obligations of Customer to be discharged. In addition to the foregoing, FDR may take such actions with respect to Customer's obligations under the Settlement System as FDR deems reasonable to protect FDR or its customers from any loss arising from Customer's non-payment of the Daily Amount.

Settlement Late Payment Fee. In addition to any other provisions in this Agreement, in the event of Customer's failure to transfer or make available for transfer via Fed Wire Drawdown the Daily Amount for any business day, Customer shall pay to FDR a late payment fee (the "Settlement Late Payment Fee") which shall be equal to the amount Customer would have been required to pay as a late payment fee under the Networks, MasterCard or VISA. The amount shall be calculated in accordance with the rules and shall continue to accrue until FDR shall have received the Daily Amount from Customer. Settlement Late Payment Fees shall be paid to FDR based upon the rules even though FDR may have elected to make settlement with the Networks, MasterCard and VISA in a timely manner on behalf of Customer. If FDR has received funds from the Networks, MasterCard or VISA as a result of Interchange Settlement on behalf of Customer and fails to make available the Daily Amount to Customer, FDR shall pay to Customer a late payment fee based on the Daily Amount calculated in the same manner as the Settlement Late Payment Fee.

No Independent Obligation. The obligation of FDR to discharge the Networks, MasterCard and VISA Interchange obligations of Customer shall be solely as an agent of Customer in accordance with

Exh. F-1

the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the FDR Settlement Rules. FDR shall have no independent obligation with respect to the discharge of the Interchange obligations of Customer.

Violation of Rules. In the event that the Networks, MasterCard or VISA shall notify FDR of any violation of the rules and regulations of the Networks, MasterCard or VISA, as appropriate, relating to Customer or transactions processed for Customer, FDR shall have the right, without liability to Customer to terminate the Interchange Settlement of transactions on behalf of Customer under this Agreement with respect to the Networks, MasterCard or VISA, as appropriate, until the time as FDR shall have been notified by the Networks, MasterCard or VISA, as appropriate, that the violation has been corrected. FDR shall provide Customer with prompt written notice of the receipt of any such notification from the Networks, MasterCard or VISA.

Reliance on Other Parties. Customer acknowledges that performance of Interchange Settlement involves the settlement of certain of Customer's transactions jointly and on a combined net basis with the settlement of transactions of other customers of FDR, Accordingly, the payment or receipt by FDR of settlement monies on behalf of Customer may be dependent on equivalent payments or receipts being received or made by or for other customers of FDR and in respect of transactions involving accounts issued by such other customers. FDR and Customer will cooperate and use all reasonable resources to identify the reason for any settlement failure and shall attempt to work to its resolution.

Compliance with Instructions. FDR shall be entitled without further inquiry to execute or otherwise act upon (a) instructions or information or purported instructions or information received through the Networks, MasterCard or VISA payment systems and instructions or information, or (b) purported instructions or information received in accordance with the Networks, MasterCard or VISA rules or settlement manuals otherwise than through the payment systems or in accordance with the FDR Settlement Rules notwithstanding that it may afterwards be discovered that the instructions or information were not genuine or were not initiated by Customer. Such execution or action shall constitute a good discharge to FDR, and FDR shall not be liable for any liability, damage, expense, claim or loss (including loss of business, loss of profit or exemplary, punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages of any kind) whatsoever arising, in whatever manner, directly or indirectly, from or as a result of the execution or action.

Restrictions on Setoff. Customer agrees to discharge its Interchange Settlement obligations to FDR under this Schedule F in full and on first written demand waiving any defense, setoff or right of counterclaim (without prejudice to the ability of Customer to pursue these independently) and notwithstanding any act or omission or alleged act or omission or any insufficiency or deficiency that there is or has been or that may be alleged in the performance by FDR of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise. FDR agrees, however, that it shall not setoff against any payment to be made by it to Customer or on its behalf pursuant to this Schedule F any amount due and payable by Customer to FDR (without prejudice to the ability of FDR to pursue these independently) other than amounts due and payable by Customer or on their behalf to FDR pursuant to this Exhibit F.

Trailing Activity. If Customer terminates this Agreement or if Customer ceases to obtain processing services from FDR under this Agreement in a manner which results in fees or charges relating to Customer's Accounts continuing to be included as a part of FDR's net settlement with the Networks, MasterCard and VISA, FDR may obtain daily payment from the Settlement Account established under the first paragraph of this Exhibit F or Customer will provide FDR immediately upon notice with access to an account of Customer's funds, not requiring signature, which FDR may draw upon in order to receive payment for such fees and charges. FDR will provide Customer with documentation for all fees and charges paid on behalf of Customer.

Sponsor Bank. During the Term of the Agreement, Customer shall be responsible for and reimburse FDR for all amounts, if any, which may be paid or which may be payable by FDR in

Exh. F-2

connection with fees, costs, assessments or other amounts due by or on behalf of the Sponsor Bank in connection with Interchange Settlement.

This transmission shall be in the FDR (RJE/NDM) format and shall contain information specified in the documentation provided to Customer as part of the Start-Up.

5.: Failed Performance

If FDR fails during any calendar month to perform in accordance with the performance criteria defined above, then, such failure shall be considered to be a "Failed Month" for purposes of this Exhibit G if and to the extent set forth below:Events in Calendar Month

Consecutive Months		2		3		4
1	%	0	%	1	%	2	%
2	%	2	%	3	%	5	%
3	%	5	%	10	%	15	%
4	%	10	%	15	%	20	%

Any reference to "0%", shall not be a Failed Month for any purpose. If FDR experiences a Failed Month per the grid requirements, then Customer shall be entitled to a "Performance Credit" equal to the applicable percentage set forth in the grid multiplied by the applicable month's Processing Fees. In the case of consecutive Failed Months with a different number of failures each month, the Performance Credit will determined by taking the greatest number of failures present in each of the consecutive Failed Months and multiplying the applicable percentage determined from the grid by the applicable month's Processing Fees. For example:

Failures		Performance Credit
3 in month 1		1% of month 1 Processing Fees
2 in month 2		2% of month 2 Processing Fees
4 in month 3		5% of mouth 3 Processing Fees

Exh. G-1

In month 2 above, the example assumes that there have been 2 consecutive months with at least 2 failures. Likewise, the example assumes that in month 3 above, there have been 3 consecutive months with at least 2 failures. Continuing the example, assume that in month 4, there is only 1 failure, then no Performance Credit will be due; in month 5 if there are 2 failures, no Performance Credit will be due; and in month 6, if there are 4 failures, the Performance Credit will be 2% of the month 6 Processing Fees.

Such Performance Credits shall be applied against Processing Fees due FDR by Customer during the month following calculation of the Performance Credit by FDR. FDR agrees to calculate the amount of any Performance Credit to which Customer is entitled hereunder within ninety (90) days following the conclusion of the applicable Failed Month.

If there are one (1) or more occurrences of three (3) consecutive Failed Months in any Processing Year, then Customer, at its election, may terminate this Agreement, provided, that this termination option is exercised within sixty (60) days after Customer receives notice of FDR's third consecutive Failed Month, and provided that such termination shall become effective on a date specified by Customer, which date shall be not later than nine (9) months after Customer's delivery to FDR of a written notice of its intention to so terminate this Agreement.

6.: Sole Remedy.

Customer hereby agrees that due to the difficulty of determining and calculating its damages upon FDR's failure to perform in accordance with the performance criteria in this Exhibit G, the remedies of a Performance Credit or termination as set forth above shall be Customer's sole and exclusive remedies, and that Customer hereby elects to waive any and all other remedies to which Customer maybe entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, based upon FDR's failure to perform in accordance with the performance criteria in this Exhibit G; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to mean Customer is waiving any remedy to which it may be entitled under this Agreement if the basis for its cause of action against FDR is based upon anything other than FDR's nonperformance in accordance with the performance criteria in this Exhibit G.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO SERVICE AGREEMENT

This Third Amendment to Service Agreement made and entered into this 19^th day of September, 2001 by and between PayPal, Inc., formerly known as X.Xxx Corporation, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 ("Customer") and First Data Resources Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 ("FDR").

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Customer and FDR heretofore entered into a Service Agreement dated as of September 25, 2000, as previously amended (the "Service Agreement");

WHEREAS, Customer and FDR now desire to amend the Service Agreement as hereinafter more particularly set forth (this "Amendment").

NOW THEREFORE, Customer and FDR hereby agree as follows, as of September 19, 2001 (the "Effective Date"):

1. Section 4.4(a) of the Service Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows, effective on the Effective Date:

"(a) In Processing Year 1, Customer will require FDR to provide Services sufficient to generate aggregate Processing Fees at least equal to one million dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee"). In each Processing Year after Processing Year 1, except as provided in subsection (b), Customer will require and shall pay FDR for Services sufficient to generate aggregate Processing Fees at least equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the Processing Fees paid during the immediately preceding Processing Year, but in no event less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) in each such Processing Year (the "Minimum Processing Fees"). Within ninety (90) days after the end of each Processing Year, FDR shall calculate the total Processing Fees paid by Customer in respect of Services performed during each Processing Year (the "Total Annual Processing Fees"), and determine the amount, if any, by which the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fee or Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year exceed the Total Annual Processing Fees for the Processing Year (respectively, the "Year 1 Minimum Shortfall" and "Minimum Shortfall(s)"). In the event there is a Minimum Shortfall in any Processing Year other than Processing Year 1, FDR shall, after ten (10) days written notice to Customer of Customer's Minimum Shortfall, draw upon Customer's account pursuant to Section 4.5 of this Agreement the amount of such Minimum Shortfall. FDR shall waive payment of the Year 1 Minimum Shortfall, if any; provided, however, that Customer shall be required to pay to FDR the Year 1 Minimum Shortfall in the event of termination of this Agreement, as provided for in Section 9.4 through 9.6 herein. For the avoidance of doubt and based on economic assumptions material to each party underlying this transaction, Customer and FDR expressly agree that Customer shall pay FDR Processing Fees in each Processing Year other than Processing Year 1 in an amount at least equal to the Minimum Processing Fees until this Agreement is terminated by Customer pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9.2(a) or 9.2(b), or after Customer shall have paid FDR the Minimum Processing Fees for the year of termination as determined pursuant to this subsection (a) in the case of a termination pursuant to Sections 9.2(d) or 9.2(e) or pursuant to subsection (b) below in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.2(c), or until FDR terminates this Agreement and invokes compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4."

2. Section 9.2(c) of the Service Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows, effective on the Effective Date:

"(c) at its sole option, at any time during the Original Term after the delivery of written notice to FDR at least six (6) months prior to the effective date of such termination; provided that the effective date of such termination is not prior to the expiration date of Processing Year 2;"

3. Section 9.4 of the Service is hereby amended to read as follows, effective on the Effective Date:

"Section 9.4. Payments Upon Termination.

(a) If FDR terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, other than pursuant to Section 9.1(j), or if Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(e), Customer and FDR agree that, based an economic assumptions material to each party, Customer shall make a compensatory payment to FDR. Such compensatory payment shall be made by Customer upon termination by FDR or Customer, and prior to Deconversion, and shall equal the sum of:

(i) The Year 1 Minimum Shortfall as set forth in Section 4.4(a);

(ii) the Minimum Processing Fees as set forth in Section 4.4(a) of this Agreement, for the Processing Year in which the termination occurs (after crediting Customer for any Processing Fees paid for Services provided in such Processing Year); and the amount set forth in subsections (iii) or (iv) below, as applicable;

(iii) except as provided in subsection (iv) below, the sum of the present values of a payment in each full Processing Year (other than the year of termination) which remains during the Term of this Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable percentage set forth below for the Processing Year in which termination occurs multiplied by the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fees or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs. The applicable percentage shall be as follows:

Processing Year in which termination occurs	Applicable Percentage
Processing Year 1	30	%
Processing Year 2	25	%
Processing Year 3	20	%
Processing Year 4	15	%

(iv) in the event the Agreement shall be terminated by FDR pursuant to Section 9.1(k) or by Customer pursuant to Section 9.2(e), the present value of a payment in the next full Processing Year (other than the year of termination) which remains during the Term of this Agreement in an amount equal to the applicable percentage set forth in subsection (iii) above, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs multiplied by the Year 1 Minimum Processing Fees or the Minimum Processing Fees, as applicable, for the Processing Year in which termination occurs.

(b) In determining the present value of the amount set forth in subsection (a)(iii) or (a)(iv) above, an interest rate equal to the three (3) month Treasury Xxxx Rate, as quoted by The Wall Street Journal for the date on which termination occurs, or if not available on the date of termination, as soon thereafter as the next edition of The Wall Street Journal is published, shall be assumed and the payments shall be assumed to be made on the first day of each Processing Year.

(d) Despite the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.4 shall limit FDR's right to recover from Customer any amounts for which Customer is otherwise liable under this Agreement, except that upon

payment of amounts due under Section 9.4(a), Customer shall not be responsible for Minimum Shortfalls after the year of termination."

4. Section 9.5 of the Service Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows, effective on the Effective Date:

"Section 9.5. Payments Upon Termination Pursuant to Section 9.2(c). If Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(c), Customer shall not be required to make any payment to FDR pursuant to Section 9.4; provided, however, Customer shall be required to pay to FDR the sum of (a) the Year 1 Minimum Shortfall and (b) the Minimum Shortfall, if any, for the Processing Year in which termination is effective but not for any subsequent Processing Years."

5. Article "9" of the Service Agreement is hereby amended by the addition of the following new Section 9.6, effective on the Effective Date:

"Section 9.6. Payments Upon Termination Pursuant to Section 9.2(d). If Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(d), Customer shall not be required to make any payment to FDR pursuant to Section 9.4; provided, however, Customer shall be required to pay to FDR the Year 1 Minimum Shortfall."

6. Exhibit "C" of the Service Agreement is hereby amended by the addition of the foregoing, effective on the Effective Date:

"Minimum Shortfall' is defined in Section 4.4(a) of this Agreement.

"Year 1 Minimum Shortfall' is defined in Section 4.4(a) of this "Agreement."

7. As hereby amended and supplemented, the Service Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment to Service Agreement the day and year first above written.
