--------------------
notice (a "Claim Notice") describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise
--------------
to any claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim
Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of
such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other
agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith

which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or
suit is commenced.
(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount
of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this
Article 7 shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the
---------
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; (ii) by a final judgment, decree
or decision of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means

therein and retain counsel at its own expense. In any third party claim, suit

into any settlement with respect to the matter without the consent of the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement affecting the Indemnified Party

related

be waived as a matter of law and injunctive and provisional relief, and (ii) any
Party's obligation to make any payments or reimbursements hereunder this Article
7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement, including

COMPANY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED BY AGREEMENT OF THE
PARTIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER FIRST DATA, COMPANY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED, OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN, OF THE POSSIBILITY SUCH
DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING REPRESENTS AN EXPRESS ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE
PARTIES.

either FDC or Company for purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer of FDC or Company may delegate in writing
to any other person the authority to act on behalf of FDC or Company,
respectively, with respect to actions required under the terms of this
Agreement.
SECTION 8.3. NO SOLICITATION. For a period of one year after the
---------------
Effective Date, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall (i) induce
or attempt to persuade any current or future employee of IPS or Western Union
Financial Services, Inc. ("WU"), as the case may be, to terminate his or her
employment relationship with IPS or WU, as the case may be, in order to enter
into employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) hire or
retain, as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any current or
future employee of IPS or WU, as the case may be, unless, in each case, waived
in writing by IPS or WU, as the case may be. For a period of one year after the
Effective Date, neither FDC nor any of its Affiliates shall (i) induce or
attempt to persuade any current or future employee of any member of the Company
Group to terminate his or her employment relationship with such member in order
to enter into employment with IPS or WU or (ii) hire or retain for or on behalf
of IPS or WU as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any current or
future employee of any member of the Company Group unless, in each case, waived
in writing by the Company. The parties hereto acknowledge that a violation of
this Section 8.3 may cause IPS, WU, Company or their respective Affiliates, as
the case may be, irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by
money damages. The parties therefore agree that in the event of any actual or
threatened violation of this Section 8.3, any affected FDC Group member or
Company Group member, as the case may be, shall be entitled, in addition to
other remedies it may have, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary
and final injunctive relief against Company, FDC or their respective Affiliates,
as the case may be, to prevent any violation of this Section 8.3, without the
necessity of posting a bond. The prevailing party in any action commenced under
this Section 8.3 shall also be entitled to receive reasonable attorney's fees
and court costs. It is the intent and the understanding of each party hereto,
if, in any action before any court, agency or arbitration panel legally
empowered to enforce this Section 8.3, any term, restriction, covenant or
promise in this Section 8.3 is found to be unreasonable and for that reason
unenforceable, then such terms, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed
modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court, agency or
arbitration panel.
SECTION 8.4. TERMINATION. Anything contained in this Agreement to
-----------
the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior
to the Effective Date by the mutual consent of the Company, FDC and IPS. In the
event this Agreement shall be terminated, no party shall have any liability to
any other party hereunder.

written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) FDC and IPS may assign all their
respective rights and delegate their respective duties and obligations hereunder

reason of this Agreement.

shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the

the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions
or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be
unreasonable.
