Sellers represent that since September 1, 2002, there has been no communication between Albert Angel or Eric Cherry, on the one hand, and First Data or any CardAssociations, on the other hand, related to such fines or penalties. For purposes of the first sentence in this Section 2.1, there shall be imputed to Sellers only the knowledge of (a) its current directors (other than Garrett M. Bender), who arelisted on Schedule 2.1 hereto, and (b) its current officers, who are Albert Angel, Eric Cherry and Lance Eisenberg.

2.2     Representations of the Parent.

The Parent notes that there have been continuing written, oral and electronic communicationswith the Card Associations and First Data concerning possible fines or penalties, including specifically fines or penalties for March 2002 held “in suspension” by Visa.

2.3     Assumption of Liability by the Parent. The Parent hereby assumes liability for, and shall indemnify, defend and holdharmless Sellers, their successors and assigns, and the directors, partners, officers, employees and agents of each for, from and against, any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs andexpense, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, other expense of investigation, handling, and litigation, and settlement amounts, together with interest and penalties related to or resulting from, any and all claims that may be made byFirst Data, InterCept Payment Solutions, Inc. (“**IPX**,” formerly named Electronic Payment Exchange, Inc.), or the Card Associations related to both pre-Closing activities of iBill andpost-Closing activities of the Purchaser in respect of transactions processed through iBill and the Purchaser, respectively, during such periods. For this purpose, with respect to pre-Closing activities of iBill only, “claims that may be madeby First Data or IPX” means and shall be limited to (a) claims by First Data or IPX against iBill or the Purchaser for indemnification for claims assessed against First Data or IPX by the Card Associations in respect of transactions processedby First Data or IPX; or (b) claims by First Data related to instances of noncompliance by iBill or the Purchaser with Card Association regulations for which First Data is permitted, under a contract with iBill or the Purchaser, to impose a chargeor fine of a specified amount per Chargeback. If a specific obligation to indemnify arises, the parties agree that such indemnification shall be pursued in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.4 of the Purchase Agreement as if the Parent werethe Obligor thereunder, which provisions are incorporated by reference herein.

5.        Efforts toObtain Release of iBill by First Data Corporation and Others. The InterCept Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with iBill in its efforts to obtain a release from First Data, but such release shallnot be a condition to the effectiveness of any term of this Amendment. If either of the InterCept Parties obtains a release from First Data, such InterCept Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have Sellers included in such release tothe same extent as such InterCept Party. If the InterCept Parties shall sell the business or substantially all the assets of the Purchaser and obtain a release or indemnity from the purchaser in connection therewith, the InterCept Parties shall usecommercially reasonable efforts to have Sellers included in such release or indemnity to the same extent as the InterCept Parties.
