SERVICE AGREEMENT    
  


        This Service Agreement dated as of September 25, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), is between First Data Resources Inc. ("FDR") and X.com

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 


2





 




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"), 


3





 




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. 


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 


5





 




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 


6





 




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 


        (c)  arbitration
pursuant to Exhibit D for the resolution of a Dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of: 




          (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.

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

        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

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

        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. 


11





 



        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. 


 
 

Article 10
  Confidential Nature of Data    
  


        Section 10.1.    Customer's Proprietary Information.    Upon Customer's request,
FDR
shall return to Customer (upon the expiration or termination of all of FDR's obligations under this Agreement and payment by Customer of all amounts due to FDR hereunder) all or any requested portion
of the proprietary and confidential data of Customer disclosed to FDR including the Cardholder Master Files and CIS Memo Files (collectively, "Customer's Proprietary Information"). Throughout the Term
of this Agreement and thereafter, FDR shall not obtain any proprietary rights in Customer's Proprietary Information. 


        Section 10.2.    FDR's Proprietary Information.    Customer acknowledges that
all
products and systems provided or used by FDR, including any developments, Enhancements, improvements or modifications disclosed, provided or used by FDR, shall remain solely and exclusively the
property of FDR. In addition, FDR shall retain sole and exclusive ownership in all works of authorship, ideas, concepts, know-how and inventions, whether or not patentable, created or
conceived by FDR in the course of providing the services under this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that FDR, in its sole discretion, may provide to other customers, similar services to those
outlined in this Agreement utilizing any of the FDR owned intellectual property referenced in this Section 10.2 or otherwise set forth or referred to in this Agreement. 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; 


12





 



        (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 


        (d)  to
notify the other promptly and in writing of the circumstances surrounding any possession, use or knowledge of Customer's Proprietary Information or FDR's Proprietary
Information, as appropriate, at any location or by any Entity other than those authorized by this Agreement. 



        Section 10.5.    Release of Information.    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. 


 
 

Article 11
  Representations and Covenants    
  


        Section 11.1.    FDR's Representation.    FDR represents and warrants that the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction herein contemplated does not conflict in any material respect with or constitute a material breach or material default
under the terms and conditions of any documents, agreements or other writings to which it is a party; and FDR has the corporate power and corporate authority to execute, deliver and perform this
Agreement. 


        Section 11.2.    Customer's Representation.    Customer represents and warrants
that
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction herein contemplated does not conflict in any material respect with or constitute a material breach or material
default under the terms 


13





 




and conditions of any documents, agreements or other writings to which it is a party; and Customer has the corporate power and corporate authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. 


        Section 11.3.    Customer's Covenants.    



        (a)  Within
fifteen (15) days after the end of each quarter during the Term of this Agreement, Customer shall provide to FDR a copy of the individual and consolidated
quarterly and year to date financial statements (including where available, audited financial statements) of Customer and its affiliates to assist FDR in evaluating the risks associated with
Interchange Settlement or other Customer obligations under this Agreement. Customer shall provide (or shall cause its Affiliates to provide) additional security or undertakings as FDR may reasonably
require. 


        (b)  Within
thirty (30) days after the date hereof, Customer shall obtain and deliver to FDR, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to FDR, a 364-day
revolving and irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to [*] (the "Initial Amount of the Letter of Credit"). Such letter of credit will be issued by a financial
institution with a credit rating acceptable to FDR and will (i) secure all payment and settlement obligations of Customer under this Agreement that arise after the issuance of the letter of
credit, including, but not limited to payment and settlement obligations for Processing Fees, Special Fees, Minimum Processing Fees, Interchange Settlement and other settlement obligations, taxes,
interest or payments upon termination, and (ii) allow FDR to draw upon the Letter of Credit prior to expiration if the Letter of Credit is not renewed. The Initial Amount of the Letter of
Credit was agreed to by the parties based on their best estimate, at the time of the execution of this Agreement, that [*] represents approximately the monetary amount of four
(4) business days of the Daily Amount for which Customer may be responsible pursuant to Exhibit "F". If, after the execution of this Agreement, FDR, based on the then current monetary amount of
the Daily Amount, determines that the monetary amount of approximately four (4) business days of the Daily Amount is more than [*] then FDR shall promptly notify
Customer, in writing, of the updated monetary amount of four (4) business days of the Daily Amount (the "Updated Amount of the Letter of Credit"). Promptly upon receipt of the Updated Amount of
the Letter of Credit Customer shall increase the monetary amount of the Letter of Credit to be at least equal to the Updated Amount of the Letter of Credit. The Customer's obligations in this
Section 11.3(b) shall continue throughout the Term of this Agreement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement in accordance with Section 9.3(d). 


        (c)  As
of the date hereof, and throughout the Term of this Agreement, Customer and Customer's Transaction Card program to be made available to Customer's Clients utilizing
the FDR Services and the sponsorship by the Sponsor Bank: 




          (i)  shall
comply with all Network, VISA and MasterCard standards, guidelines, rules, regulations, guidelines or requirements and any interpretations thereof, including but
not limited to the Virtual MasterCard standards and guidelines, as well as the MasterCard Rules as specified in Chapter 8 of the MasterCard Bylaws and Rules, and Customer has obtained and will obtain
all required consents and approvals which may be required from the Networks, VISA or MasterCard (in each case regardless of whether Customer or Sponsor Bank is responsible for compliance or is
obligated to obtain any such consent or approval under the applicable requirements), and that the intended operation and administration of Customer's Transaction Card program contemplated hereby, does
not and will not violate any such approval, consent, standard, guideline, rule, regulation or requirement or any interpretation thereof, and, Customer will notify FDR immediately in the event this
covenant is no longer true, accurate or complete, or if Customer receives any cease and desist or similar order from a Network, VISA or MasterCard; 



        (ii)  shall
comply with each of the obligations and requirements set forth in that certain letter dated September 13, 2000, from MasterCard to the Sponsor Bank,
together with the 




14





 






application and supporting materials submitted by Sponsor Bank in connection therewith, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit H (in each case regardless of whether
Customer or Sponsor Bank is responsible for compliance or is obligated to obtain any such consent or approval under the applicable requirements),it being understood that Customer will also provide
information to FDR regarding such compliance as may be reasonably requested by FDR from time to time; and 


        (iii)  shall
properly disclose that the Sponsor Bank is the Issuer of the Transaction Cards to Customer's Clients and that Sponsor Bank, upon notice to Customer, may
terminate Customer's Clients Transaction Card privileges at any time, and shall require Customer's Clients to agree that Sponsor
Bank shall have no obligation or liability to any Customer Client regarding funds held, transferred, or invested by Customer or any of its Affiliates. 





        (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. In the event Customer wishes to modify such process flow, it shall notify FDR and
obtain FDR's prior written consent. If such process flow is modified to reduce or eliminate settlement risk associated with Client transactions, Customer may request, and FDR will negotiate with
Customer, the reduction of the number of business days of settlement funds to be secured by the Letter of Credit as provided in subsection (b) above. 


 
 

Article 12
  Miscellaneous    
  


        Section 12.1.    Assignment.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights
and
obligations of Customer are personal and not assignable, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of FDR. Customer shall be permitted to assign this Agreement in
the event (i) any person or Entity acquires all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Customer, or (ii) Customer merges or consolidates with another Entity, provided that for
those events set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereof, FDR is given prior notice of such assignment and the successor has entered into an agreement reasonably acceptable to FDR to assume
all of the obligations of Customer under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, all provisions contained in this Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the parties hereto or their respective
successors and permitted assigns. 


        Section 12.2.    Business Continuity Plan.    FDR has created a business
continuity
plan (the "Business Continuity Plan") and will provide Customer with a written summary of same upon written request. FDR reserves the right to change such Business Continuity Plan and, upon request,
will explain all changes. No change shall degrade the quality of the Business Continuity Plan in a manner which has a material adverse impact on the Services. FDR will make certain revisions to its
Business Continuity Plan which will meet or exceed regulatory agency contingency planning criteria. FDR's Business Continuity Plan includes a schedule for recovering critical business functions. 


        Section 12.3.    State Law.    Except as provided in Exhibit D, this
Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska as to all matters including validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies without giving effect to the principles of choice of law
thereof. With respect to any claim arising out of this Agreement, Customer irrevocably waives any objection which it may have at any time to the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement brought in the courts of the State of Nebraska and the United States District Court located in the city of Omaha, Nebraska and Customer further waives any claim such
suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waives the right to object, with respect to such suit, action
or proceeding brought in any such court, that such court does not have jurisdiction over Customer. For purposes of any such suit, action or proceeding Customer agrees that any process to be served in 


15





 




connection therewith shall, if delivered, sent or mailed in accordance with Section 12.4, constitute good, proper and sufficient service thereof. 


        Section 12.4.    Notice.    All notices which either party may be required or
desire to

        A
party may change its address or addresses set forth above by giving the other party notice of the change in accordance with the provisions of this section. 


        Section 12.5.    Waiver.    The failure of either party at any time to require
performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect in any way the full right to require the performance at any subsequent time. The waiver by either party of a breach
of any provision of this Agreement shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. 


        Section 12.6.    Relationship of Parties.    Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall
be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture or similar relationship between the parties. The parties' relationship shall be that of independent parties contracting for services. All personnel and
other agents employed by either party in connection with this Agreement are such party's or its agent's employees and not employees or agents of the other party. 



        Section 12.7.    Third Party Beneficiaries.    This Agreement is entered into
solely
for the benefit of FDR and Customer and shall not confer any rights upon any Entity not a party to this Agreement except for Sponsor Bank which shall have no liability to Customer or Customer's
Clients. 


        Section 12.8.    Subcontractors.    FDR may subcontract all or any part of the
Services, but, notwithstanding any such subcontract, FDR shall remain responsible for performance of the Services. 



        Section 12.9.    Force Majeure and Restricted Performance.    If performance by
FDR of
any service or obligation under this Agreement, including Start-Up or Deconversion, is prevented, restricted, delayed or interfered with by reason of labor disputes, strikes, acts of God,
floods, lightning, severe weather, shortages of materials, rationing, utility or communication failures, failure of MasterCard, VISA or a Network, failure or delay in receiving electronic data,
earthquakes, war, revolution, civil commotion, acts of public enemies, blockade, embargo, or any law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand or requirement having legal effect of any
government or any judicial authority or representative of any such government, or any other act, omission or cause whatsoever, whether similar 


16





 




or dissimilar to those referred to in this clause, which are beyond the reasonable control of FDR, then FDR shall be excused from the performance to the extent of the prevention, restriction, delay
or interference. As a condition to continuing to perform embossing services for card issuing members of VISA, FDR was required to enter into VISA Card Personalization Agreements (the "VISA
Agreements"). Under certain circumstances VISA is permitted, pursuant to the VISA Agreements, to temporarily or permanently prevent or restrict FDR's right to perform embossing services for card
issuing members of VISA. Customer hereby agrees that if, as a result of VISA exercising its rights under the VISA Agreements, FDR is prevented or restricted by VISA from performing embossing services
for Customer, then FDR shall be excused from the performance of such embossing services to the extent of such prevention or restriction by VISA. 


        Section 12.10.    Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement is held
invalid
or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and the parties shall substitute for the invalid provisions a valid
provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

not reverse assemble or reverse compile the cc:Mail Software program, nor transfer, sublicense, rent, lease or assign the cc:Mail Software. The cc:Mail Software is owned by cc:Mail, Inc., a
division of Lotus Development Corporation ("Lotus") and is protected by United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions. 


        (2)  Customer
shall be responsible, at its expense, for all computer equipment at Customer's locations necessary to use the cc:Mail Software. All communication charges
associated with accessing the FDR computers and equipment used to provide FDR LinkUp Services shall be paid by Customer. 



        (3)  If
FDR's right to distribute the cc:Mail Software is terminated because the software infringes upon the copyright, patent or other proprietary rights of any party or for
any other reason, FDR shall have the right to terminate the provision of FDR LinkUp Services upon thirty (30) days notice to Customer, or such shorter period of notice as coincides with the
termination of 



Exh. A-2





 





FDR's right to distribute the software, and FDR shall have no further liability to Customer with respect to the terminated services. 



        (4)  Within
thirty (30) days after the termination of this Agreement, or the earlier termination of Customer's right to use the cc:Mail Software, Customer shall
deliver to FDR all copies of the relevant software and associated documentation, together with all separate informational materials provided with respect to the services or the software, in their
possession, custody or control or shall destroy the same, as directed by FDR. In addition, an officer of Customer shall certify in writing to FDR that use of the relevant software has been
discontinued and all items have been returned or destroyed as required in this section. 


        (5)  Customer
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lotus, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all claims,
demands, liability, loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys' fees and costs of settlement, resulting from or arising out of (i) the failure of Customer to observe any covenant or
condition set forth in this Section, (ii) the violation by Customer of any applicable statute, law or regulation, or (iii) Customer's use of the FDR LinkUp Services. 


        (6)  Customer
acknowledges that the cc:Mail Software product is subject to restrictions and controls imposed under the U.S. Export Administration Act. Customer certifies that
neither the cc:Mail Software nor any direct product thereof is being or will be acquired, shipped, transferred or reexported, directly or indirectly, into any country prohibited under the Act.
RESTRICTED RIGHTS LEGEND. Use, duplication or disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer
Software clause at DFARS 52.227-7013. cc:Mail, Inc., 2141 Landings Drive, Mountain View, CA 94043. 


        (7)  NEITHER
FDR NOR LOTUS MAKES ANY WARRANTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. LOTUS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE CC:MAIL SOFTWARE WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS
OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED. IN NO EVENT WILL CUSTOMER HAVE ANY CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST LOTUS, NOR WILL LOTUS BE LIABLE
TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY CUSTOMER EVEN IF LOTUS IS
INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. 




        B.    Fraud Management/Fraud Detection (Falcon) Services.    FDR shall provide
Customer and
Customer's Transaction Card Affiliates (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Customer" with Fraud
Management/Fraud Detection Services in conjunction with HNC, Inc., and its FalconTM software (hereinafter referred to as the "HNC Software"), which services shall consist of those
services set forth in this section. 



        (1)  FDR
shall provide Customer with Card Fraud Management/Fraud Detection Services by utilizing the output of the Falcon Neural Engine computational model (designed to
detect card fraud) which encompasses or contains the Falcon neural network-based system, as such same software is licensed to FDR by HNC and is commonly known as the Falcon Card Fraud Detection Model
(hereinafter referred to as the 'Card Output Access') solely for the purpose of assisting Customer in detecting possible fraudulent transaction account activity on the card accounts of Customer and
for no other purpose. Except as expressly provided in this section, no right or 



Exh. A-3





 


license under any patent copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property of FDR or other person is granted or is to be inferred from this section. Customer agrees that FDR's
providing of Card Fraud Management/Fraud Detection Services does not confer upon Customer any license in or to the Card Computational Model. 


        (2)  The
parties acknowledge that the HNC Software, from which the Card Output Access is generated, is licensed to FDR pursuant to a license agreement (the "HNC License
Agreement"). FDR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to extend or renew the initial or any renewal terms, as the case may be, of the HNC License Agreement and if the HNC License Agreement
expires or is terminated, FDR shall promptly notify Customer of such termination or expiration. FDR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to substitute for HNC one or more software vendors from
whom FDR shall license, on commercially reasonable terms, one or more software packages that will generate output access that provides, in all material respects, the utility and performance provided
by the Card Output Access generated by the HNC Software. 


        (3)  FDR
and Customer shall mutually establish a fraud detection strategy designed to fulfill Customer's fraud detection requirements. Customer will provide a single point of
contact, at least 60 days prior to beginning of service, to establish start-up requirements. Customer shall notify FDR in writing of the contact's identity. Customer's contact
person will be authorized to build and approve the fraud detection strategy, to determine the fraud score criteria and to approve product control file changes. FDR shall assist Customer in the
establishment of the processing parameters designed to effectively implement Customer's fraud detection strategy. Customer shall be solely responsible for approving the processing parameters and shall
verify that such parameters effectively satisfy the requirements of Customer's fraud detection strategy. In no event, however, shall FDR be liable to any person for any damages caused by either the
HNC Software or any deficiency in the construction of the processing parameters. Furthermore, Customer shall be responsible for the accuracy of all Customer data and fraud control data provided to
FDR. 


        (4)  FDR
will provide Customer with the following Card Call Processing Services: 



        (a)  FDR
will utilize its Fraud Detection WorkCenter to monitor authorizations queued as a result of the fraud detection criteria and/or fraud score. 


        (b)  FDR
will initiate outbound telephone calls to the Cardholders of Customer who have had authorization activity on their account and appear in a Fraud Detection WorkCenter
Queue Group. At Customer's option, FDR shall either (i) use a predictive dialer (herein defined as a mechanism by which outbound calls to the Cardholder Accounts to be worked hereunder are
automatically dialed by the system based upon the telephone number indicated by the Cardholder master files of Customer resident at FDR) to place cans or (ii) manually review accounts for fraud
activity (based upon Customer-defined criteria) in order to call only selected accounts. 


        (c)  FDR
will make up to four attempts to reach the Cardholder within a 48-hour period. All attempts will be made within the hours of 8:00 a.m. and
9:00 p.m. 


        (d)  FDR
will attempt all home and business telephone numbers as provided by Customer's Cardholder masterfile. 



        (e)  If
FDR is unable to contact the Cardholder, a message for the Cardholder to contact FDR at a to-be-provided 800 number will be delivered to the
Cardholder's message machine and/or to responsible adults. 


        (f)    When
the FDR call results in contact with the Cardholder, and the Cardholder validates the authorization activity, FDR will record an on-line account memo
(to the Customer Inquiry System) indicating the results of the call. 




Exh. A-4





 





        (g)  When
the FDR call results in contact with the Cardholder and the Cardholder is unable to validate the activity, FDR will initiate a Lost/Stolen Report and place a block
on the account. (Standard fees apply for the Lost/Stolen Report.) FDR will record an on-line account memo (to the Customer Inquiry System) indicating the results of the call. 


        (h)  If
FDR encounters activity which appears uncharacteristic or unusual for a Cardholder Account and FDR is unable to contact successfully the Cardholder, then FDR may
place a block on the Cardholder Account to prevent further authorization approvals until either the Cardholder or Customer successfully verifies the activity. On a daily basis, FDR will fax to
Customer a list of accounts which have been blocked because of uncharacteristic or unusual account activity. The account will remain blocked until the Cardholder instructs FDR to remove such block or
Customer removes such block. 


        (i)    Upon
the request of Customer, FDR may at its option, provide additional services, including the following: telephone number look ups, fraud control services, customized
reporting, etc. These services would be provided at an additional cost to Customer. 


        (j)    Upon
request by Customer, HNC or FDR may, at its option, provide the following to Customer: custom system installation, additional training, and fraud user interface
licensing. HNC shall provide the following to Customer upon request: fraud strategy consulting and custom fraud models. Customer will contract directly with HNC for these services, which will be
provided at an additional cost to Customer. 


        (k)  HNC
has established a Fraud Control Consortium whereby users of Card Output Access contribute data for use by HNC to study fraud patterns, which enables HNC to improve
fraud detection methods. If Customer chooses to join such Consortium, FDR will provide, on Customer's behalf, data to the Fraud Control Consortium as required and requested by HNC within
30 days after the Falcon Start Date and on a calendar quarterly basis thereafter. If Customer does not wish to join the Fraud Control Consortium, HNC, upon request of Customer shall construct a
custom fraud model for Customer, as an additional service, at a cost agreed upon among FDR, Customer and HNC. Customer acknowledges that FDR will employ the HNC Software using the Fraud Control
Consortium algorithms to produce Card Output Access for Customer only if Customer contributes data to the Fraud Control Consortium. 





        C.    Online Debit.    FDR agrees to provide Customer with online debit Services as
described
below: 



        (1)  FDR
shall operate a computer data processing facility to perform transaction processing, switching and settlement through the Networks and other services as further set
forth in this section and in Section IV of this Exhibit A. 


        (2)  Customer
is solely responsible for the operation or maintenance of any hardware, software, equipment or systems that are not under FDR's direct control, including the
terminals, Networks, third party authorizers and telecommunication lines. 


        (3)  FDR
will provide Customer with documentation describing FDR's services and the manner in which the online debit services will be used by Customer. FDR shall update and
revise such documentation from time to time as necessary to reflect any modifications and enhancements and Customer will comply with such documentation.

the parties are unable to resolve any dispute as contemplated by Section 5.1 of this Agreement, such Dispute shall be submitted to mandatory and binding
arbitration at the election of either party (the "Disputing Party'). Except as otherwise provided in this Exhibit D, the arbitration shall be pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). 


        (b)  To
initiate the arbitration, the Disputing Party shall notify the other party in writing (the "Arbitration Demand"), which shall (i) describe in reasonable detail
the nature of the Dispute, (ii) state the amount of the claim, (iii) specify the requested relief and (iv) name an arbitrator who (A) has been licensed to practice law in
the U.S. for at least ten years, (B) is not then an employee of Customer or FDR or an employee of an Affiliate of either, and (C) is experienced in representing clients in connection
with commercial agreements (the "Basic Qualifications"). Within fifteen (15) days after the other party's receipt of the Arbitration Demand, such other party shall file, and serve on the
Disputing Party, a written statement (i) answering the claims set forth in the Arbitration Demand and including any affirmative defenses of such party; (ii) asserting any counterclaim,
which shall (A) describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute relating to the counterclaim, (B) state the amount of the counterclaim, and (C) specify the requested
relief; and (iii) naming a second arbitrator satisfying the Basic Qualifications. Promptly, but in any event within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the two arbitrators so named will select
a third neutral arbitrator from a list provided by the AAA of potential arbitrators who satisfy the Basic Qualifications and who have no past or present relationships with the parties or their
counsel, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to and approved by the parties. The arbitration will be heard by a panel of the three arbitrators so chosen the "Arbitration Panel"), with the third
arbitrator so chosen serving as the chairperson of the Arbitration Panel. Decisions of a majority of the members of the Arbitration Panel shall be determinative. 


        (c)  The
arbitration hearing shall be held in such neutral location as the parties may mutually agree. The Arbitration Panel is specifically authorized to render partial or
full summary judgment as provided for in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In the event summary judgment or partial summary judgment is granted, the non-prevailing party may not raise
as a basis for a motion to vacate an award that the Arbitration Panel failed or refused to consider evidence bearing on any dismissed claim or issue. The Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply to the
arbitration hearing. The party bringing a particular claim or asserting an affirmative defense will have the burden of proof with respect thereto. The arbitration proceedings and all testimony,
filings, documents and information relating to or presented during the arbitration proceedings shall be deemed to be information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. The
Arbitration Panel will have no power or authority, under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA or otherwise, to relieve the parties from their agreement hereunder to arbitrate or otherwise to
amend or disregard any provision of this Agreement including, without limitation, the provisions of this Exhibit D. 


        (d)  Should
an arbitrator refuse or be unable to proceed with arbitration proceedings as called for by this Exhibit D, the arbitrator shall be replaced by the party
who selected such arbitrator, or if such arbitrator was selected by the two party-appointed arbitrators, by such two party-appointed arbitrators selecting a new third arbitrator in accordance with
Exhibit D. Each such replacement arbitrator shall satisfy the Basic Qualifications. If an arbitrator is replaced pursuant to this paragraph (d) after the arbitration hearing has
commence, then a rehearing shall take place in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit D and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. 


Exh. D-1





 



        (e)  At
the time of granting or denying a motion for summary judgment as provided for in (c) and within fifteen (15) days after the closing of the arbitration
hearing, the Arbitration Panel shall prepare and distribute to the parties a writing setting forth the Arbitration Panel's finding of facts and conclusions of law relating to the Dispute, including
the reasons for the giving or denial of any award. The findings and conclusions and the award, if any, shall be deemed to be information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. 


        (f)    The
Arbitration Panel is instructed to schedule promptly all discovery and other procedural steps and otherwise to assume case management initiative and control to
effect an efficient and expeditious resolution of the Dispute. The Arbitration Panel is authorized to issue monetary sanctions against either party if, upon a showing of good cause, such party is
unreasonably delaying the proceeding. 


        (g)  Any
award rendered by the Arbitration Panel will be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties and any judgment hereon may be entered and enforced in any court of
competent jurisdiction. 


        (h)  Each
party will bear one-half of all fees, costs and expenses of the arbitrators, and notwithstanding any law to the contrary, each party will bear all the
fees, costs and expenses of its own attorneys,
experts and witnesses; provided, however, that in connection with any judicial proceeding to compel arbitration pursuant to this Agreement or to confirm, vacate or enforce any award rendered by the
Arbitration Panel, the prevailing party in such a proceeding will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding, in addition to any other
relief to which it may be entitled. 


        Judicial Procedure.    Nothing in this Exhibit D shall be construed to prevent any party from
seeking from a court a temporary restraining order or other temporary or preliminary relief pending final resolution of a Dispute pursuant to this Exhibit D. 


        Federal Arbitration Act.    The parties acknowledge and agree that performance of the obligations under
this contract necessitates the use of instrumentalities of interstate commerce and, notwithstanding other general choice of law provisions in this Agreement, the parties agree that the Federal
Arbitration Act shall govern and control with respect to relevant provisions of this Exhibit D.

any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement or (b) a claim or action against FDR for any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary
rights of any person in connection with the development of software or systems to support an enhancement requested by Customer using designs or specifications provided by Customer or in connection

        Customer
shall not have any obligation to indemnify FDR against any claim, liability, loss or damage FDR or its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates may suffer arising
solely out of FDR's negligent performance of any of the services provided under this Agreement. 


        FDR's Indemnification.    FDR shall indemnify Customer and its directors, officers, employees and agents
from and against any and all third party claims, liabilities, losses or damages (including reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees, expenses and costs of settlement) arising out of or with
respect to this Agreement to the extent that the claim, liability, loss or damage is caused by, relates to or arises out of (a) the breach by FDR of any of its duties or obligations under this
Agreement or (b) a claim or action against Customer for actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright trade secret or other proprietary rights of any person by the FDR System or any
part thereof, except to the extent such claim is caused by (i) Customer's failure to use the FDR System as permitted under this Agreement, (ii) Customer's use of the FDR System in
combination with other software or systems not expressly authorized by FDR, or (iii) the development of software by FDR to support an enhancement requested by Customer using designs or
specifications provided by Customer or the production by FDR of cards or other items for Customer using artwork, designs or concepts provided by Customer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be
applicable in the case of such liability, claim, demand or dispute that arises out of negligence or willful misconduct of Customer, their assigns or their respective agents or employees. 


        Notification.    In the event a claim, suit or proceeding by a third party for which indemnification may
be available under this Agreement is made or filed against any person, party or Entity, the person, party or Entity against which the claim, suit or proceeding is made (the "Indemnified Party"), shall

avoid any prejudice in the claim, suit or proceeding, after the notice, may elect to defend, compromise, or settle the third party claim, suit or proceeding at its expense. In any third party claim,
suit or proceeding which the Indemnifying Party has elected to defend, compromise or settle, the Indemnifying Party shall not after the election be responsible for the expenses, including counsel
fees, of the Indemnified Party but the Indemnified Party may participate therein and retain counsel at its own expense. In any third party claim, suit or proceeding the defense of which the
Indemnifying Party shall have assumed, the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter 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 to the extent that the judgment or settlement
involves more than the payment of money without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnifying Party all information, assistance and authority
reasonably requested in order to evaluate any third party claim, suit or proceeding and effect any defense, compromise or settlement.

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 Exhibit G if and to the extent set forth below:Events in Calendar Month 



	Consecutive Months
 
	 	1
	 	2
	 	3
	 	4
	 
	1	 	0	%	0	%	1	%	2	%

	3	 	0	%	5	%	10	%	15	%
	4	 	0	%	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

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.

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.

E.    Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Mobius, its subsidiaries, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from and

THIRD AMENDMENT TO SERVICE AGREEMENT    
  


        This Third Amendment to Service Agreement made and entered into this 19th day of September, 2001 by and between PayPal, Inc., formerly known
as X.Com Corporation, 1840 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, California 94303 ("Customer") and First Data Resources Inc., 7301 Pacific Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68114 ("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 Bill 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. 


        (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 


2





 




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.
