WHEREAS, TRANRED is considering to wind-down its operations and terminate any and all other existing agreements (the “Business Termination”) and to that end may require additional transition services from EVERTEC, and EVERTEC is willing to provide, or to cause to be provided, such additional transition services under the terms of the Venezuela TSA; and
WHEREAS, the parties have decided it is in their best interest to enter into this Amendment No. 1 to reflect the transactions entered into in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, to extend the Transition Service Period, and to provide for additional services to be included as part of the Transition Services, as provided for under Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of the Venezuela TSA.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:

From and after the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and thereon, (a) EVERTEC shall exclude all Costs incurred in connection with Transition Services related to the Offshore Service Agreements from the monthly invoices to TRANRED under the Venezuela TSA, and (b) EVERTEC shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred in connection with the servicing of the Offshore Service Agreements listed in Schedule 1. |
2. | Additional Definitions. Section 1.1 of the Venezuela TSA is amended to include the following definition(s): |
“Business Termination” means the winding down of the Business and the possible termination of all service agreements between EVE-VEN and its clients (other than the service agreements with entities doing business from outside of Venezuela (off-shore entities)).
3. | Business Termination. |
(a) In connection with the Business Termination, and in order to effect the Business Termination in a timely and orderly manner, TRANRED anticipates that it is necessary for EVERTEC to provide, or cause to be provided, the termination transition services (the “Business Termination Services”). Additionally, TRANRED anticipates that it will be necessary for EVERTEC to provide, or cause to be provided, the transition and migration services, as well as data storage and related services to the clients listed in Schedule 2, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the respective service agreements with said clients (the “Client Services” and together with the Business Termination Services, the “Termination Assistance Services”).
(b) As provided for under Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of the Venezuela TSA, EVERTEC and TRANRED agree to include as Additional Support under the Venezuela TSA the Termination Assistance Services. The Cost for the Termination Assistance Services shall be as set forth in Exhibit A-1.
(c) EVERTEC and TRANRED further agree that Exhibit A to the Venezuela TSA is hereby amended and restated to include the terms of the Termination Assistance as set forth in the attached Amended and Restated Exhibit A to this Amendment No. 1.
(d) The parties further agree that in order to provide the Termination Assistance Services, the Transition Service Period is hereby amended and extended for an additional twelve (12) months after September 29, 2011. As such, Section 2.2 of the Venezuela TSA is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Section 2.2 Term of Transition Service. (a) The provision of the Transition Service shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall terminate on the earliest of (i) twenty four (24) months after the Effective Date or such longer or shorter period as set forth in Exhibit A hereto with respect to an element or sub-element of the Transition Service and (ii) the date any such element or sub-element of the Transition Service is terminated by EVE-VEN pursuant to Section 6.1 (for each element or sub-element, the “Transition Service Period”). In the event that EVE-VEN requests continuation of any element or sub-element of the Transition Service no later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the periods referenced in this Section 2.2 (a “Service Continuation”), the parties hereto agree that, subject to Sections 2.6(b) and 2.8(b), the Service
2
Continuation shall be provided upon similar terms (including price, term and service levels) governing the provision of such element or sub-element of the Transition Service for such longer period as the parties hereto may mutually determine in good faith based on the reasonable needs of the parties hereto, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.
(b) Subject to Section 2.2(c), EVE-VEN and Popular shall use their Reasonable Best Efforts to (at their own expense) make or obtain any approvals, permits and licenses, and implement such systems, as may be necessary for EVE-VEN to provide the elements and sub-elements of the Transition Service independent of EVE-PR as soon as commercially reasonably practicable following the Closing Date. EVE-PR shall use Reasonable Best Efforts to cooperate with EVE-VEN and Popular in fulfilling their obligations under the preceding sentence.
(c) EVE-VEN, Popular and EVE-PR acknowledge that in the event EVE-VEN determines that it is in its best interest to terminate the Business or any service contracts with customers related to the Business, EVE-PR shall cooperate with EVE-VEN to effect the Business Termination. In such case, the parties shall provide the transition support required for (i) a timely and orderly Business Termination and/or (ii) any required transition and migration services under service agreements with customers, and any such transition support shall be treated as Additional Support under Section 2.3.”
4. | Amendment to Section 2.3 of the Venezuela TSA. Section 2.3 of the Venezuela TSA is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“Section 2.3 Additional Elements and Sub-elements of the Transition Service. If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, EVE-VEN reasonably determines that in order to operate the Business or to effect a Business Termination it is necessary for EVE-PR to provide, or cause to be provided, (i) any support that was being provided by EVE-PR or its Affiliates to the Business prior to Closing that was not theretofore included as an element or sub-element of the Transition Service or (ii) any transition support reasonably necessary for (A) a timely and orderly Business Termination and/or (B) the transition and migration of customers under service agreements, EVE-PR shall, subject to Section 2.6(b), make such support available (the “Additional Support”), or shall cause such support to be made available, to EVE-VEN consistent with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. For such additional elements or sub-elements of the Transition Service, the fee charged to EVE-VEN shall be equal to Cost.”
5. | Modification to Costs. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.3 (as amended), 2.4 and 6.1 of the Venezuela TSA and Paragraph 2 of this Amendment No. 1, if (i) the parties |
3
agree on the terms (including the Costs) for any Additional Support or Service Continuation, and/or (ii) a party terminates any element or sub-element of a Transition Service, and/or (iii) in connection with a Business Termination or otherwise, the number of customers that are part of the Business decreases, then the Costs set forth in the Amended and Restated Exhibit A, as amended pursuant to Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) of this Amendment No. 1, shall be modified, and any additional costs incorporated and/or deleted to account for any such Additional Support, Service Continuation or termination or reduction of Transition Services (or any element or sub-element of the Transition Services), as the case may be. Any such incorporation, modification or deletion shall be reflected in the monthly invoices required under Section 3.1(b) of the Venezuela TSA. |
6. | Scope of Amendments. Except as specifically provided herein, the Venezuela TSA shall not be modified or affected hereby and shall remain in full force and effect. Neither party shall be deemed to have waived any right provided under the Venezuela TSA, except as herein expressly provided. |
7. | Counterparts. This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. |
