DATED OCTOBER 2, 2002

 

The undersigned hereby agree that the employment agreement, dated October 2,
2002, (“Agreement”) by and between Edward T. Haslam (“Haslam”) and Concord EFS,
Inc. (“Concord”) shall be amended as follows:

 

The parties agree to extend the Agreement as follows:

 

On or before May 30, 2003, Haslam reserves the right to give notice that he is
terminating his employment relationship with Concord effective July 31, 2003,
unless both parties agree that he will remain beyond that date in a mutually
agreed upon role.

 

In the event that Haslam gives notice prior to May 30, 2003 of his intent to
terminate his employment relationship with Concord, or in the event that Concord
notifies Haslam by May 30, 2003 that it has decided to transition the Chief
Financial Officer to position to Memphis, Haslam shall continue to work through
July 31, 2003 to transition CFO duties to the new CFO.

 

In the event that notice is given by either party prior to May 30, 2003 that
Haslam’s employment is terminated for any reason, Haslam shall be entitled to
receive the following transition package and his stock option agreement shall be
amended at the time to so provide:

 

  i.   Six (6) months of salary/stay bonus payable no later than July 31, 2003;
and

 

  ii.   One (1) year salary and benefits payable from July 31, 2003; and

 

  iii.   One (1) year of continued vesting of stock options from July 31, 2003
to July 31, 2004, and then an additional 90 days thereafter to exercise all
vested options.

 

As consideration for the foregoing, Haslam shall continue to perform the duties
of the Chief Financial Officer of Concord.

 

This agreement shall be effective February 26, 2003 and may be signed in
counterparts.
