 Re: Issuer Warrant Transaction Amendment 
 Pursuant to notice by [            ] (“Dealer”) to Alliance Data
Systems Corporation (“Issuer”) on August 4, 2008 of Dealer’s exercise in full of its option, pursuant to Section 8(o) of the letter agreement, dated July 23, 2008 (the “Confirmation”), between
Issuer and Dealer pursuant to which Dealer has purchased from Issuer 4,458,720 Warrants, to purchase up to 668,808 additional Warrants (the “Additional Warrants”), this letter agreement (the “Amendment”) amends the
terms and conditions of the Transaction entered into between Dealer and Issuer under the Confirmation. This Amendment relates to, and sets forth the terms of, the purchase by Dealer from Issuer of Additional Warrants. 
 Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, all references in the Confirmation to the “Number of Warrants” will be deemed to be to the Number of
Warrants as amended hereby and all references in the Confirmation to the “Transaction” will be deemed to be to the Transaction as amended hereby. Except to the extent specified below, all other provisions of the Confirmation shall apply to
the Additional Warrants as if such Additional Warrants were originally subject to the Confirmation. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Confirmation. 
 Amendments. The Confirmation is hereby amended, and the terms relating to the purchase by Dealer of the Additional Warrants are, as follows:

 1. The “Number of Warrants” specified in Annex A to the Confirmation for Components 1 through 79 are hereby each replaced with the number
“64,094” and, for Component 80, is hereby replaced with the number “64,102”. 
 2. An additional “Premium” of $6,142,500
shall be paid by Dealer to Issuer with respect to the Additional Warrants on August 7, 2008 as if such date were a Premium Payment Date. 
 3.
Section 8(e) is hereby amended by deleting the number “8,917,440” in the third line thereof and replacing it with the number “10,255,056.” 
 4. For the purposes of clause (i) of Section 8(l), the “Trade Date” with respect to the Additional Warrants shall be August 4, 2008. 
 5. Section 8(o) of the Confirmation is hereby deleted in its entirety. 
 6. If, prior to August 7, 2008, Dealer
reasonably determines that it is advisable to cancel this Amendment because of concerns that Dealer’s related hedging activities could be viewed as not complying with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations, this Amendment shall be
cancelled and shall not become effective, and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party in respect of this Amendment. 
 Representations. With respect to this Amendment, each of Issuer and Dealer hereby repeat their respective representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3(a) and (b) of the Agreement, with references therein to “this
Agreement” deemed to be references to this Amendment. With respect to the Additional Warrants, each of Issuer and Dealer hereby repeats their respective representations, warranties and agreements set forth in Section 7 of the Confirmation
as if the date hereof were the Trade Date and August 7, 2008 were the Effective Date. 
 No Additional Amendments or Waivers.
Except as amended hereby, all the terms of the Transaction and provisions in the Confirmation shall remain and continue in full force and effect and are hereby confirmed in all respects. 
 Counterparts. This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if all of
the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 
 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL

 Mr. Alfred Farha 
 Field Cottage 
 Fritwell Rd

 OX27 7NZ Oxfordshshire

 Dear Mr. Farha, 
 We are pleased to offer you the position of VP
General Counsel & Secretary reporting to Jacques Esculier, Chief Executive Officer. 
 As we discussed, your annual base salary will be $330,000.00
or a monthly rate of $27,500. 
 You are eligible to participate in our Annual incentive Plan (AIP) with a target of 40 % of base salary. You will be
credited with full participation for year 2008 and we will guarantee an incentive payment in the amount of $132,000 for 2008. The incentive is paid in March of the year following the year in which it is earned. 
 You will be eligible to participate in WABCO’s Cash Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for the 2009-2011 cycle with a target of 45 % of base salary. LTIP
performance cycles run three years and customarily are paid in March of the year following the end of the cycle. However, you will be eligible for accelerated phase in participation, allowing a prorated target in each of the first three
years—25% of target for the 2006-2008 cycle 50 % of target for the 2007-2009 cycle and 75 % of target for the 2008-2010 cycle . Actual awards are based on financial results. 
 In addition, you will receive a new hire equity grant with an initial value of $110,000 effective as of the first day of the month following your start date at WABCO.
This grant will be comprised of 50% restricted stock units and 50% stock options, and will vest 1/3 on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. 
 You will be eligible to participate in WABCO’s annual equity incentive program with annual grants determined by the CNG of WABCO’s Board of Directors. This does not constitute a commitment for an equity award or the amount of such
award for any period other than the New Hire’s Grant. All awards will be subject to the terms and conditions of the WABCO Omnibus Incentive Plan. 
 In
addition, you will receive a sign on bonus of $75,000. This one time bonus is subject to the appropriate withholding taxes. If you voluntarily terminate your employment for any reason, or you are terminated for Cause* during the initial 12-month
period, you will be required to pay back 100% of the $75,000 sign-on. 
 You are entitled to participate in the WABCO Benefits Program and you will be
provided with four weeks vacation per annum accrued and paid according to existing policy. You will receive a full new hire package including the benefit enrollment information on or before your first day of work. 
 In your position you will be eligible to receive severance in case of “Change in Control,” which is only triggered in the event of a change in control AND
either termination: 
  

	 	(a)	by the Company within 24 months of CIC, not for Cause or 

  

	 	(b)	by the individual for Good Reason 

 In the event of CIC and according to
WABCO’s CIC severance plan, you will be entitled to 1.5 times your base salary plus 1.5 times your AIP at target. 
 WABCO maintains an
employment-at-will policy. However to allay any concerns regarding termination of employment, we will provide you with severance of 1.5 times the base salary plus your AIP if you are involuntary terminated for any reason other than Cause. It is
explicitly agreed that the above exceptional benefit will only be payable to you if you sign a release form for all claims against the Company or affiliated companies within 45 days after the termination of the employment relating to any and all

 indemnity(ies) or benefit(s) due or payable to you as a result or in connection with the termination of your employment with the Company or affiliated
companies. In this regard, special reference is amongst others made to the WABCO Change in Control Plan.
