Form of Director Indemnification Agreement



 Exhibit 10.24 
  
 DIRECTOR INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of
                    , 2005 between First Data Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
             (“Indemnitee”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve as directors of publicly-held corporations unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and indemnification against risks of
claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation. 
  
 WHEREAS, directors are increasingly being subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally
would have been brought only against the corporation itself. 
  
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense,
liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Nevertheless, the Board recognizes the limitations on the protection provided by liability insurance and the uncertainties as to the scope and
level of such coverage that may be available in the future. 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company’s directors have certain existing indemnification arrangements pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”). Nevertheless, the Board recognizes the limitations on the protection provided by such indemnification and the uncertainties as to its availability in any particular situation. 
  
 WHEREAS, the Board believes that in light of the limitations and
uncertainties about the protection provided by the Company’s liability insurance and existing indemnification arrangements and the impact these uncertainties may have on the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified individuals to
serve as directors, the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future. 
  
 WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such
persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be adequately protected. 
  
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee is concerned that the protection provided under the Company’s liability insurance and existing
indemnification arrangements may not be adequate and may not be willing to serve as a director of the Company without greater certainty concerning such protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity and is willing to
provide such greater certainty. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE 1

occurred in any one of the following circumstances occurring after the date hereof: (i) there shall have occurred an event required to be reported with respect to the Company in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or
in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) under the Exchange Act, regardless of 







 whether the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; (ii) any “person” or “group”
(as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) shall have become, without prior approval of the Company’s Board, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 15% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities (provided that as used in this clause (ii), the term “person” shall exclude a trustee
or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company); (iii) there occurs a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity) more than 51% of the
combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such
surviving or resulting entity; (iv) all or substantially all the assets of the Company are sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction or series of related transactions; (v) the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete
liquidation of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (vi) the individuals who on the date hereof constitute the Board (including, for this purpose, any new director whose

is, nor in the five years previous to its selection or appointment has been, retained to represent (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (provided that acting as an Independent Counsel under this Agreement or
in a similar capacity with respect to any other indemnification arrangements between the Company and its present or former directors shall not be deemed a representation of the Company or Indemnitee) or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding
giving rise to a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then

so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Enterprise, then

 INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 Section 3.01. General. (a) The Company hereby agrees to and
shall indemnify Indemnitee and hold him harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Expenses and Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection
with a Proceeding. The phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law” shall include: 
  
 (i) to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and 
  
 (ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any

 (b) To the extent that Indemnitee is a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the
defense of any Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is successful, on the merits
or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in any Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully
resolved claim, issue or matter and any claim, issue or matter related to each such successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 3.01(b) and without limitation, the termination of any Proceeding or any claim, issue

 (c) To the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to

securities of the Company pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law or (ii) for reimbursement to the Company of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation
or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company in each case as required under the Exchange Act; 
  
 (b) except for an action, suit or other proceeding contemplated by Section 8.06(b), any action, suit or other proceeding (or part thereof) initiated
by Indemnitee (including any such action, suit or other proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees), unless (i) the Board authorized the action,
suit or other proceeding (or part thereof) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law; or 
  
 (c) any claim, issue or matter in a Proceeding by or in the right of the

application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Chancery Court or such other court shall deem
proper. 
  
 ARTICLE 4 
 ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES; DEFENSE OF CLAIMS 
  
 Section 4.01. Advances. The Company shall advance any Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee or on his behalf in connection with a Proceeding within 20 days after receipt by the Company of a written request for advancement of expenses, which request may be delivered to the Company at such time and from time to time as
Indemnitee deems appropriate in his sole discretion (whether prior to or after final disposition of any such Proceeding). Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay such amounts and without regard to
Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise. Any such advances shall be made on an unsecured basis and be interest free. 
  
 Section 4.02. Repayment of Advances or Other Expenses. Indemnitee agrees that Indemnitee shall reimburse the
Company for all amounts advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 4.01 if it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Indemnitee seeks a
judicial adjudication or an arbitration pursuant to Section 6.01(a), Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company pursuant to this Section 4.02 until a final determination (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted
or lapsed) has been made. 
  
 Section 4.03. Defense Of
Claims. The Company will be entitled to participate in any Proceeding at its own expense. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding (in whole or in part) which would impose any Expense, Liability or limitation on Indemnitee without
Indemnitee’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Indemnitee shall not settle any Proceeding (in whole or in part) which would impose any Expense, Liability or limitation on the Company without the Company’s
prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 







 ARTICLE 5 
 PROCEDURES FOR NOTIFICATION OF AND DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO
INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 Section 5.01. Request
For Indemnification. (a) Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing as soon as reasonably practicable (i) after being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any
Proceeding or (ii) if the Company has not been previously notified, after receipt of written notice of any other matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of expenses under Section 3.01 and
Section 4.01. The omission by Indemnitee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee (i) under this Agreement except and only to the extent the Company can establish that such
omission to notify resulted in actual material prejudice to the Company or (ii) otherwise than under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Indemnitee may thereafter deliver to the Company a written request for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement at such time and from time to time
as Indemnitee deems appropriate in his sole discretion, which request shall also be deemed a request for advancement of expenses under Section 4.01. 
  
 Section 5.02. Determination of Entitlement. (a) Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.01(c),
upon the final disposition of the matter that is the subject of the request for indemnification delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(b), a determination shall be made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto in the specific case. If
a Change in Control shall not have occurred, such determination shall be made (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors or of a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (in
either case, even though less than a quorum of the Board) or (ii) if there are no Disinterested Director or the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, such determination shall be
made by Independent Counsel. Any determination made by Independent Counsel pursuant to this Section 5.02(a) shall be in the form of a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall reasonably
cooperate with the person or persons making such determination including providing to such person or persons upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is
reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person or persons making such determination shall be
borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification), and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 
  
 (b) If the determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, such
Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 5.02(b). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising
him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event
the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case, the party receiving the notice may, within 10 days after receipt
thereof, deliver to the other a written objection to such selection; provided that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as
defined in Article 1 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a proper and timely
objection is made, the counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction (or, at Indemnitee’s option pursuant to Section 6.01, an arbitration) has
determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after receipt by the Company of a request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.01(b), no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the
Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction (or, at Indemnitee’s option pursuant to Section 6.01, an arbitration) for resolution of any objection which shall have been made to the selection of Independent Counsel
and/or for the appointment of another person as Independent Counsel, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of any Independent Counsel appointed pursuant to this Section and to indemnify such person against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto except
for gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 (c) If it is
determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within 10 days after such determination. 







 Section 5.03. Presumptions and Burdens of Proof; Effect of Certain Proceedings. (a) In
making any determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to a presumption that he is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for
indemnification in accordance with Section 5.01(b), and the Company shall have the burdens of coming forward with evidence and of persuasion to overcome that presumption. 
  
 (b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein by judgment, order, settlement or conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption (i) that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, (ii) that with respect to any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful or (iii) that Indemnitee did not otherwise satisfy the applicable standard of conduct to be indemnified
pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 (c) For purposes of any
determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Company or other Enterprise, as applicable, including financial statements, or on
information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of such entity in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for such entity or on information or records given or reports made to such entity by an independent certified public
accountant, appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by such entity. The provisions of this Section 5.03(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed or found
to have met the applicable standard of conduct to be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 (d) The knowledge or actions or failure to act of any other director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or other Enterprise, as applicable, shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining
Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement. 
  
 (e) If a determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall not have been made pursuant to this Agreement within 60 days after the final disposition of the matter that is the subject of the request for
indemnification, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made in favor of Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent a misstatement of a material fact in the
information provided by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 5.01(b) and Section 5.02(a) or an omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the information provided not misleading; provided that such 60-day period may be
extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person or persons making the determination in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate any documentation or information relating thereto. 

 
 ARTICLE 6 
 REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE 
  
 Section 6.01. Adjudication or Arbitration. (a) Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication (by a court of competent jurisdiction or,
at Indemnitee’s option, through an arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association) of any determination pursuant to Section 5.02 that Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Any such adjudication shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial or arbitration on the merits, and any prior adverse determination shall not be referred to or introduced into
evidence, create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses, be a defense or otherwise adversely affect Indemnitee. In any such judicial proceeding or arbitration, the provisions of Section 5.03
(including the presumption in favor of Indemnitee and the burdens on the Company) shall apply. 
  
 (b) Indemnitee shall also be entitled to an adjudication (by a court of competent jurisdiction or, at Indemnitee’s option, through an arbitration as described above) of any other disputes under this Agreement.

  
 (c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to
Section 5.02 that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 6.01, absent a misstatement of a material fact in
the information provided by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 5.01(b) and Section 5.02(a) or an omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the information provided not misleading. 







 (d) In connection with any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this
Section 6.01, the Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek such adjudication, shall be precluded from asserting that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding or enforceable and shall stipulate in
any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 7 
 DIRECTORS’ AND
OFFICERS’ LIABILITY INSURANCE 
  
 Section 7.01. D&O Liability Insurance. (a) The Company shall obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance (“D&O Liability Insurance”) with reputable insurance
companies providing liability insurance for directors of the Company in their capacities as such (and for any capacity in which any director of the Company serves any other Enterprise at the request of the Company), in respect of acts or omissions
occurring while serving in such capacity, on terms with respect to coverage and amount (including with respect to the payment of expenses) no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof except for any changes approved by
the Board prior to a Change in Control. 
  
 (b) Indemnitee shall
be covered by the Company’s D&O Liability Insurance policies as in effect from time to time in accordance with the applicable terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any other director under such policy or policies. The
Company shall, promptly after receiving notice of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise), give notice of such Proceeding to the insurers under the Company’s D&O Liability Insurance
policies in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable actions to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such
Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. The failure or refusal of any such insurer to pay any such amount shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Upon request by Indemnitee, the Company shall provide to Indemnitee
copies of the D&O Liability Insurance policies as in effect from time to time. The Company shall promptly notify Indemnitee of any material changes in such insurance coverage. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 Section 8.01.
Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled to under applicable law, the
Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or resolution of directors or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any
right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial
decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of expenses than would be afforded currently under this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall be entitled under this Agreement to the greater benefits so
afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 
  
 Section 8.02. Subrogation, etc. (a) In the event of any
payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all actions necessary to secure such rights, including
execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
  
 (b) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is
provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 







 (c) The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such Enterprise. 

 
 Section 8.03. Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible
under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee or on his
behalf, whether for Liabilities and/or Expenses in connection with a Proceeding or other expenses relating to an indemnifiable event or transaction under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the
circumstances of such action, suit or other proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving rise to such action, suit or other proceeding;
and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s). 
  
 Section 8.04. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written instrument executed
by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto. 
  
 Section 8.05. Waivers. The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party against which such
waiver is to be asserted. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party
hereto of any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. 
  
 Section 8.06. Expenses. (a) The Company shall pay all costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Company and Indemnitee in connection with the preparation of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) The Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any and all
costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his behalf in seeking (whether through a judicial proceeding or arbitration (including any appeal resulting therefrom) or otherwise) to
enforce any rights against the Company for indemnification or advancement of expenses (whether under this Agreement or otherwise) or to recover under any liability insurance policy maintained by any person for the benefit of Indemnitee in connection
with the performance of his duties for or on behalf of the Company, in each case, whether or not Indemnitee is successful (in whole or in part) with respect to his claims. The Company shall pay (or reimburse Indemnitee for the payment of) any such
costs or expenses within 20 days after receipt by the Company of a written request for the payment of such amounts, which request may be delivered to the Company at such time or from time to time as Indemnitee deems appropriate in his sole
discretion (whether prior to or after final disposition of any such matter). Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reimburse any amounts paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.06(b). 
  
 Section 8.07. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered herein and supersedes all prior oral or written understandings or agreements with respect to the matters covered herein. This Section 8.07 shall not be construed to
limit any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, applicable law or otherwise.
