thereof at maturity, when added to the balance of the Escrowed Property without the reinvestment thereof or sale prior to maturity, provide funds to the Escrow Agent in an amount at least equal to the Escrow Redemption Price on the assumed Escrow

Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Securities. 
 (iii) The obligation and
liability of the Escrow Agent to make the payments and transfers required by this Agreement shall be limited to the Escrowed Property and any other moneys on deposit with it pursuant to this Agreement, including any interest accruing thereon. The
Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment made pursuant to this Agreement in compliance with the provisions hereof or from the sale of any Treasury Securities or Cash Equivalents required by the terms hereof or any
shortfall in the value of the Escrowed Property that might result therefrom. 
 (b) Security Interest in Escrow Funds. On
the Issue Date, each of the Trustee and the Escrow Agent shall receive an opinion of counsel to the Issuer, which shall comply with Section 13.04 of the Indenture. 

(c) Escrow Agent Compensation; Expense Reimbursement. 

(i) The Issuer shall pay to Escrow Agent for services to be performed by it under this Agreement in accordance with the Escrow
Agent’s fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit I. The Escrow Agent shall be paid any compensation owed to it directly by the Issuer and shall not disburse from the Escrow Account any such amounts, nor shall the Escrow Agent have any
interest in the Escrow Account with respect to such amounts. The provisions of this clause (i) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. 

(ii) The Issuer shall reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by

shall survive the termination of this Agreement and survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. 
 (d)
Substitution of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign by giving no less than 30 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee. Such resignation shall take effect upon the later to occur of (i) delivery of all
Escrowed Property maintained by the Escrow Agent hereunder and copies of all books, records, plans and other documents in the Escrow Agent’s possession relating to such funds, or this Agreement, to a successor escrow agent mutually approved by
the Issuer and the Trustee (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) the Issuer, the Trustee and such successor escrow agent entering into this Agreement or any written successor agreement no less favorable to the
interests of the holders of the Securities and the Trustee than this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall thereupon be discharged of all obligations under this Agreement and shall have no further duties, obligations or responsibilities in connection
herewith, except to the limited extent set forth in Section 4. If a successor escrow agent has not been appointed or has not accepted such appointment within 30 Business Days after notice of resignation is given to the Issuer, the Escrow
Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent. 
 3. Release of
Escrowed Property. 
 (a) If at any time on or prior to the Conditions Precedent Date, the Escrow Agent receives a
Release Request from the Issuer that includes the following (i) as of the Release Date, no Default or Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing; (ii) the notice period for the Redemptions has expired;
(iii) the Company has received approval from the applicable gaming authorities to consummate the HOC Assumption; (iv) the HOC Assumption has been consummated; and (iv) concurrently with the release of the Escrowed Property to the
Company (the “Release”): (A) the Security Documents will have been executed and delivered by all parties thereto and a security interest in and lien on the Notes Collateral will have been created in favor of the Trustee for the
benefit of the holders of the Securities; (B) the Escrow Funds will be used to pay the redemption price plus any accrued and unpaid interest for the Redemptions and fees and expenses related to the issuance and sale of the Securities (including

(b) If the Escrow Agent receives a written notice from the Issuer or the Trustee substantially in the form of Annex II that the
conditions specified in 3(a) will not be satisfied and/or that the Escrow Redemption is to occur, which notice shall state the Escrow Redemption Date and the Escrow Redemption Price, the Escrow Agent will on or before the Business Day prior to the
Escrow Redemption Date release to the Paying Agent an amount of Escrowed Property in cash equal to the Escrow Redemption Price specified in such notice from the Issuer or the Trustee. Concurrently with such release to the Paying Agent, the Escrow
Agent shall release any excess of Escrowed Property over the Escrow Redemption Price to the Company. 
 (c) Notwithstanding
paragraphs 3(a) and (b) above, if the Escrow Agent receives a notice from the Trustee or the Issuer or otherwise has actual knowledge that a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Escrow Agent will not release any Escrowed Property to the
Issuer unless and until the Escrow Agent receives a notice from the Trustee that such Default is not continuing. 
  

 -5- 

 (d) If the Escrow Agent receives a notice from the Trustee that the principal of and accrued
interest on the Securities (the “Default Amount”) has become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Indenture (an “Acceleration Event”) and either (i) a court of competent jurisdiction
by final and nonappealable judgment determines that the acceleration of the Securities was appropriate as a result of a bona fide Event of Default under the Indenture or (ii) such acceleration is not rescinded on or prior to the Conditions
Precedent Date (either such event, a “Remedies Trigger Event”), the Escrow Agent will liquidate all Escrowed Property then held by it within one Business Day after it receives notice of such court determination or on the Business
Day after the Conditions Precedent Date, as the case may be, and will release to the Paying Agent for payment to the holders of the Securities an amount of Escrowed Property sufficient to pay the Default Amount. The Escrow Agent will release all
remaining Escrowed Property in excess of such Default Amount to the Company. 
 If the Escrow Agent receives a notice that an
Escrow Redemption is to occur, this Section 3(d) and Section 3(c) shall be of no further effect and all Escrowed Property then held by the Escrow Agent shall be released in accordance with Section 3(b). 

4. Limitation of Escrow Agent’s Liability; Responsibilities of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent’s responsibility
and liability under this Agreement shall be limited as follows: (i) the Escrow Agent does not represent, warrant or guaranty to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities from time to time the performance of the Issuer; (ii) the Escrow
Agent shall have no responsibility to the Issuer or the Trustee or the holders of the Securities from time to time as a consequence of performance or non-performance by the Escrow Agent hereunder, except for any gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Escrow Agent; (iii) the Issuer shall remain solely responsible for all aspects of the Issuer’s business and conduct; and (iv) the Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to supervise, inspect or inform the Issuer or any
third party of any matter referred to above. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable (i) for relying upon any judicial or administrative order or judgment, upon any opinion of counsel or upon any certification, instruction, notice, or
other writing delivered to it by the Issuer or the Trustee in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) for acting in accordance with or relying upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document believed by it in good
faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person, (iii) for any consequential, punitive or special damages, (iv) for the acts or omissions of its nominees, correspondents, designees, subagents or subcustodians
or (v) for an amount in excess of the value of the Escrow Account, valued as of the date of deposit. 
 The rights and
powers granted to the Escrow Agent hereunder are being granted in order to preserve and protect the Trustee’s and the holders’ of Securities security interest in and to the Collateral granted hereby and shall not be interpreted to, and
shall not, impose any duties on the Escrow Agent in connection therewith other than those imposed under applicable law. The Escrow Agent shall exercise the same degree of care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession as it
exercises toward its own similar property and shall not be held to any higher standard of care under this Agreement, nor be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Issuers or any other party. 

At any time the Escrow Agent may request in writing an instruction in writing from the Issuer (other than any disbursement pursuant to
Section 6(b)(iii)), and may at its own option include in such request the course of action it proposes to take and the date on which it proposes to act, regarding any matter arising in connection with its duties and obligations hereunder;
provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall state in such request that it believes in good faith that such proposed course of action is not contrary to another identified provision of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be
liable to the Issuer for acting without the Issuer’s consent in accordance with such a proposal on or after the date specified therein if (i) the specified date is at least five Business Days after the Issuers receive the Escrow
Agent’s request for instructions and its proposed course of action, and (ii) prior to so acting, the Escrow Agent has not received the written instructions requested from the Issuer.

 At the expense of the Issuer, the Escrow Agent may act pursuant to the advice of counsel
chosen by it with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in accordance with such advice, except for any such action taken or omitted in bad faith. 

In the event of any ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement with respect to any funds, securities or property deposited hereunder,
or instruction, notice or certification delivered hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such funds, securities or property, and the Escrow Agent shall not
be or become liable for its failure or refusal to comply with conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to act until either any conflicting or adverse claims or demands shall have been finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or settled by agreement between the conflicting claimants as evidenced in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Escrow Agent, or the Escrow Agent shall have received security or an indemnity
satisfactory to the Escrow Agent sufficient to save the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or expense which the Escrow Agent may incur by reason of its acting. The Escrow Agent may in addition elect in its sole option
to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as the Escrow Agent may deem necessary. The costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such proceedings shall be
paid by, and shall be deemed an obligation of the Issuer. 
 No provision of this Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder. 

The Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder
by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Escrow Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God, terrorism or war, the failure or malfunction
of communication or computer systems, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility). 

5. Indemnity. The Issuer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Trustee and the Escrow Agent and their respective
directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons, (each an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all claims, actions, obligations, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable defense costs, reasonable
investigative fees and costs, reasonable legal fees, and claims for damages, arising from the Trustee’s or the Escrow Agent’s performance or non-performance, or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s acceptance of appointment as the
Escrow Agent under this Agreement, except to the extent that such liability, expense or claim is solely and directly attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Indemnified Person. The provisions of this Section 5
shall survive any termination, satisfaction or discharge of this Agreement as well as the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. 

6. Grant of Security Interest; Instructions to Escrow Agent. 

(a) The Issuer hereby irrevocably grants a first priority security interest in and lien on, and pledges, assigns, transfers and sets over
to the Trustee for its own benefit and the benefit of the holders of the Securities, all of its respective right, title and interest in, to the extent applicable, (i) the Escrow Account, and all Financial Assets and other property now or

maintained in the name of) the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2; (ii) all security entitlements (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC) from time to time credited to the Escrow Account; (iii) all claims and

 -7- 

 
party in respect of any of the Collateral described in this Section 6 (including any claims or rights in respect of any security entitlements credited to an account of the Escrow Agent
maintained at The Depository Trust Company or any other clearing corporation) or any other securities intermediary (as such terms are defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC); (iv) all rights which the Issuer has under this Agreement and
all rights it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Escrow Agent in respect of its holding and managing all or any part of the Collateral; and (v) all proceeds (as such term is defined in Section 9-102(a) of the UCC) of any of the
foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”), in order to secure all obligations and indebtedness of the Issuer under the Indenture, the Securities and any other obligation, now or hereafter arising, of every kind and nature, owed by
the Issuer under the Indenture or the Securities to the holders of the Securities or to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”). The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges the Trustee’s
security interest and lien as set forth above. The Issuer shall take all actions and shall direct the Trustee in writing to take all actions necessary on its part to insure the continuance of a perfected first priority security interest in the
Collateral in favor of the Trustee in order to secure all Secured Obligations. The Issuer shall not grant or cause or permit any other person to obtain a security interest, encumbrance, lien or other claim, direct or indirect, in the Issuer’s
right, title or interest in the Escrow Account or any Collateral. 
 (b) The Issuer and the Trustee hereby irrevocably instruct
the Escrow Agent to, and the Escrow Agent shall: 
 (i) maintain the Escrow Account for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the Trustee on its behalf and on behalf of the holders of the Securities to the extent specifically required herein; take all steps reasonably specified in writing by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 6 to cause the Trustee to
enjoy continuous perfected first priority security interest under the UCC, any other applicable statutory or case law or regulation of the State of New York and any applicable law or regulation of the United States in the Collateral and except as
otherwise required by law, maintain the Collateral free and clear of all liens, security interests, safekeeping or other charges, demands and claims of any nature now or hereafter existing in favor of anyone other than the Trustee; 

(ii) promptly notify the Trustee if a Representative Officer of the Escrow Agent receives written notice that any Person
other than the Trustee has or purports to have a lien or security interest upon any portion of the Collateral; and 

(iii) in addition to disbursing amounts held in escrow pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3, upon receipt of
written notice from the Trustee of the acceleration of the maturity of the Securities and direction from the Trustee to disburse the Escrow Funds to the Trustee, as promptly as practicable, disburse all funds and other Collateral held in the Escrow
Account to or as directed by the Trustee and, to the extent permissible by applicable law, transfer title to all Cash Equivalents held by the Escrow Agent hereunder to or as directed by the Trustee. In addition, upon an Event of Default and for so
long as such Event of Default continues, the Trustee may, and the Escrow Agent shall on behalf of the Trustee when instructed by the Trustee, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law. 
 The lien and
security interest provided for in this Section 6 shall automatically terminate and cease as to, and shall not extend or apply to, and the Trustee and the Escrow Agent shall have no security interest in, any funds disbursed by the Escrow Agent
to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not inconsistent with the terms hereof. The Escrow Agent shall not have any right to receive compensation from the Trustee and shall have no authority to obligate the Trustee or to compromise or
pledge its security interest hereunder. Accordingly, the Escrow Agent is hereby directed to cooperate with the Trustee in the exercise of its rights in the Collateral provided for herein. 

 

 -8- 

 (c) Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6(b)(iii) shall be applied
as provided in Section 6.10 of the Indenture. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Trustee and remaining after indefeasible payment in full of all the obligations under the Indenture shall be paid over to the Company promptly
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Neither the Trustee nor the Escrow Agent shall have any liability for any shortfall to the extent of Escrow Redemption Price. 

(d) The Issuer will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, or use its reasonable best efforts to procure, all
assignments, instruments and other documents, deliver any instruments to the Trustee and take any other actions that are necessary or desirable to perfect, continue the perfection of, or protect the first priority of the Trustee’s security
interest in and to the Collateral, to protect the Collateral against the rights, claims, or interests of third persons or to effect the purposes of this Agreement. The Issuer also hereby authorizes the Trustee to file any financing or continuation
statements with respect to the Collateral without their respective signature (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The Issuer shall pay all reasonable costs incurred in connection with any of the foregoing, it being understood that the
Trustee shall have no duty to determine whether to file or record any document or instrument relating to Collateral. Neither the Trustee nor the Escrow Agent shall have any duty or obligation to file or record any document or otherwise to see to the
grant or perfection of any security interest granted hereunder. 
 (e) The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as
attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to do any act that the Issuer is obligated hereby to do, and the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, exercise such rights as the Issuer might exercise with respect to the Collateral and take
any action in the Issuer’s or the Company’s name to protect the Trustee’s security interest hereunder. 
 (f) If
at any time the Escrow Agent shall receive any “entitlement order” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) or any other instructions issued by the Trustee directing the disposition of funds in the Escrow Account or
otherwise related to the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent shall comply with such instructions without further consent by the Issuer or any other person. 

(g) The Escrow Agent represents that it is a “securities intermediary” and that the Escrow Account is a “securities
account” (as each such term is defined in the UCC). 
 (h) The Issuer hereby confirms that the arrangements established
under this Section 6 constitute “control” by the Trustee of the Escrow Account, as each of those terms is defined in Article 9 of the UCC as adopted in the State of New York. The Escrow Agent and the Issuer have not entered and will
not enter into any other agreement with respect to control of the Escrow Account or purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Escrow Agent to comply with any orders or instructions of the Trustee with respect to the Escrow Account as
set forth in this Section 6. In the event of any conflict with respect to control over the Escrow Account between this Agreement (or any portion hereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement
shall prevail. 
 (i) The Escrow Agent hereby agrees that any security interest in, lien on, encumbrance, claim or right of
setoff against, the Escrow Account or any funds therein that it now has or subsequently obtains shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Trustee in the Escrow Account and the funds therein or credited thereto. The Escrow Agent agrees not
to exercise any present or future right of recoupment or set-off against the Escrow Account or to assert against the Escrow Account any present or future security interest, banker’s lien or any other lien or claim (including claim for
penalties) that the Escrow Agent may at any time have against or in the Escrow Account or any funds therein. 
  

 -9- 

 7. Termination. This Agreement and the security interest in the Escrowed
Property evidenced by this Agreement shall terminate automatically and be of no further force or effect upon the distribution of all Escrowed Property in accordance with Section 3 hereof; provided, however, that the obligations of
the Issuer under Section 2(c) and Section 5 (and any existing claims thereunder) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Escrow Agent. At such time, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Escrow Agent
shall deliver to the Issuer all of the Escrowed Property hereunder that has not been disbursed or applied by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture. Such delivery shall be without warranty by or recourse to
the Escrow Agent in its capacity as such, except as to the absence of any liens on the Escrowed Property created by the Escrow Agent, and shall be at the sole expense of the Issuer. 

8. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Trustee for its own benefit and the benefit of the holders of the Notes
and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Issuer hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture; 
 (c) any
exchange, surrender, release or non-perfection of any Liens on any other collateral for all or any of the Secured Obligations; or 

(d) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, the Issuer in respect of the Secured Obligations or of this Agreement. 
 9. Miscellaneous.

 (a) Waiver. Any party hereto may specifically waive any breach of this Agreement by any other party, but no such
waiver shall be deemed to have been given unless such waiver is in writing, signed by the waiving party and specifically designating the breach waived, nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver of similar or other breaches.

 (b) Invalidity. If for any reason whatsoever any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held or
deemed to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid in a particular case or in all cases, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering any of the other provisions of this Agreement inoperative, unenforceable or invalid, and the
inoperative, unenforceable or invalid provision shall be construed as if it were written so as to effectuate, to the maximum extent possible, the parties’ intent. 

(c) Assignment. This Agreement is personal to the parties hereto, and the rights and duties of the Issuer hereunder shall not be
assignable except with the prior written consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. 

(d) Benefit. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. 

 

 -10- 

 (e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Indenture contain the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements, understandings and commitments, whether oral or written. Any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and any consent to
any departure by the Issuer from any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only if made or duly given in compliance with all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Trustee shall be deemed, by any
act, delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise, to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Escrow Agent or the Trustee of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Escrow Agent or the Trustee would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive
of any rights or remedies provided by law. 
 (f) Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted to
be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and received when actually received (i) on the day of delivery; (ii) three business days following the day sent, when sent by United

financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a Trust or other legal entity Agent will ask for documentation to
verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

 (p) Security Advice. The Issuers acknowledge that regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency grant the Issuers the
right to receive brokerage confirmations of the security transactions as they occur. The Issuers specifically waive such notification to the extent permitted by law and will receive periodic cash transaction statements that will detail all
investment transactions.

 II-4Transition and Seperation Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.1 

TRANSITION AND SEPARATION AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 21 day of April, 2010 by and between GLOBAL PAYMENTS INC., a
Georgia corporation with its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia (“Company”) and James G. Kelly (hereinafter “Executive”). 

In consideration of the payments, covenants and releases described below, and in consideration of other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of all of which is hereby acknowledged, Company and Executive agree as follows: 
 1. Termination
of Employment Agreement and Employment. 
 Both parties agree that the employment agreement between Executive and Global
Payments Inc. which is dated March 30, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”) is hereby terminated as of the date hereof and Section 13 of such Agreement shall not survive termination as indicated therein. Executive’s employment
with Company and all of its parents, affiliates, and subsidiaries is terminated effective as of June 30, 2010, or such earlier date as specified by the Company at any time (the “Termination Date”) and Executive shall be an employee at
will and shall not be an executive officer of the Company between the date of this Agreement and the Termination Date. Executive will not perform further services for the Company following the Termination Date and, accordingly, the parties intend
that Executive’s termination of employment will constitute a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations. 

Until the Termination Date, Executive shall have the duties and responsibilities as shall be assigned to him by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company (in his sole discretion) from time to time. Until the Termination Date, Executive shall render his services to the Company in conformity with professional standards, in a prudent and workmanlike manner and in a manner
consistent with the obligations imposed on officers of corporations under applicable law. Executive shall promote the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries in carrying out Executive’s duties and shall not deliberately take any action
which could, or fail to take any action which failure could, or reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates. Executive agrees to devote
his business time, attention, skill and efforts exclusively to the faithful performance of his duties hereunder; provided, however, that it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Executive to (i) devote reasonable periods of time to
charitable and community activities and, with the approval of the Company, industry or professional activities, and/or (ii) manage or participate in personal business interests and investments or seek or accept (but not commence) another
position, so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities under this Agreement and comply with all Company policies and codes (including but not limited to the Company’s trading
policy which requires all employees to comply with the Company’s then current trading policy and applicable law). The Company shall have the right to relieve 

 
Executive of some or all of his duties at any time and such relief of duties shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement or any other obligation of the Company, provided that Company
continues to compensate Executive and provide benefits as described herein during any such period. 
 During Executive’s
employment until Termination Date, the Company will pay to Executive a base salary in the amount of U.S. $600,000 per year (“Base Salary”), less normal withholdings, payable in equal bi-weekly or other installments as are customary under
the Company’s payroll practices from time to time. Executive and Executive’s family shall be eligible for participation in, and shall receive all benefits under, the welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the
Company (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) (“Welfare Plans”). Executive shall be entitled to receive
prompt reimbursement for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive prior to the Termination Date in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company. Any such expense reimbursement will be conducted in a manner
intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, which shall include implementing the following limitations with respect to reimbursements: (i) the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement in any calendar year shall not affect
the expenses eligible for reimbursement in another calendar year, (ii) no such reimbursement may be exchanged or liquidated for another payment or benefit, (iii) any reimbursements of such expenses shall be made as soon as practicable
under the circumstances but in any event no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar in which the related expenses were incurred, and (iv) the Company’s obligation to make reimbursements or to provide in-kind benefits
that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code shall not extend beyond Executive’s lifetime or, if later, March 30, 2030. 

Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company has met all of its obligations to Executive and has paid him all salary, wages,
overtime payments, commissions, bonuses, accrued benefits and other amounts due to him through the date of this Agreement (except for any outstanding business expense reimbursements that are due pursuant to the Company’s policies that may be
outstanding, including but not limited to the legal fee reimbursement referenced in Section 2). Executive agrees that, except for payments specifically set forth above and in Section 2 of this Agreement, neither Company nor any of its
parents, affiliates, or subsidiaries owes any additional amounts to Executive for any reason. Terms used in this Agreement which are not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement. 

2. Separation Payments/Acceleration of Stock Options and Restricted Stock Vesting. 

In consideration of Executive’s general release and other promises contained in this Agreement, Company agrees to the following, then
(and with respect to the payments and benefits described in clauses (ii) through (x) below, only if Executive has complied with the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to the provisions of Section 3, and only if
within ten (10) days after the Termination Date Executive has executed a General 
  

 - 2 - 

 
Release substantially similar to the Release attached as Exhibit A hereto and acceptable to the Company, in addition to the Release included in this Agreement, and the applicable
revocation period shall have expired): 
 (i) the Company shall pay to Executive in a lump sum in cash, within 30 days after the
Termination Date, the sum of Executive’s Base Salary (less normal withholdings) through the Termination Date to the extent not theretofore paid (“Accrued Obligations”), and 

(ii) on the first day of the seventh month after the Termination Date (the “Six-Month Pay Date”), the Company shall pay
Executive a lump sum payment equal to $300,000, less normal withholdings; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to make such payment if Executive has violated any of the Restrictive Covenants and failed to remedy such
violation to the satisfaction of the Committee within 10 days of notice of such violation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive has performed services of any kind for any Competing Person or for any Person who has a parent, affiliate, or
subsidiary who is a Competing Person between the Termination Date and the Six-Month Pay Date, then the amount otherwise due under this Section 2(ii) shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed
from the Termination Date until his first date of service for such Competing Person or any Person who has a parent, affiliate, or subsidiary who is a Competing Person (which cannot exceed 180) and the denominator of which is 180; and 

(iii) thereafter, for up to twelve (12) additional months following the Six-Month Pay Date, the Company will continue to pay
Executive an amount equal to his $23,076.92 bi-weekly Base Salary (a maximum aggregate amount of $600,000 for such 12-month period) less normal withholdings, payable in installments as are customary under the Company’s payroll practices from
time to time; provided, however that the Company’s obligation to make or continue such payments shall cease if Executive violates any of the Restrictive Covenants and fails to remedy such violation to the satisfaction of the Committee within 10
days of notice of such violation or if Executive performs services of any kind for any Competing Person or for any Person who has a parent, affiliate, or subsidiary who is a Competing Person; and 

(iv) for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Termination Date, Executive shall have the right to elect continuation of health
care coverage under the Company’s group health plan in accordance with “COBRA,” and the Company shall pay (and report as taxable income to Executive) all premiums for such COBRA coverage for Executive and his covered dependents for
the eighteen (18) month period, provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to pay the cost for such COBRA coverage shall terminate upon Executive’s obtaining other employment to the extent that such health care coverage
is provided by the new employer; and 
 (v) the Company shall pay to Executive, on the later of the Six-Month Pay Date or the
normal payment date for the 2010 bonus payments, the amount of his fiscal year 2010 bonus, to the extent earned based on actual performance through the end of the performance 

 

 - 3 - 

 
period as if Executive had remained employed during the entire performance period; provided that such bonus shall be paid only if the pre-established performance targets are in fact certified by
the Committee in the ordinary course to have been met on a basis consistent with the Chief Executive Officer and the other senior executives under the senior executive compensation plan (the “Plan”); and 

(vi) all grants of restricted stock of the Company (“Restricted Stock”) held by Executive as of the date hereof and set forth
on the Outstanding Awards Schedule attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Awards Schedule”) will become immediately vested as of the Termination Date; and 

(vii) any other performance-based incentive awards held by Executive as of the date hereof and set forth on the Awards Schedule shall
continue in effect until the normal payment date for such awards, at which time such awards will be paid out, on the later of (a) the normal payment date for such awards or (b) the Six Month Pay Date, based on actual performance through
the end of the applicable performance period as if Executive had remained employed during the entire performance period; provided that such award shall be made only if the pre-established performance targets are in fact certified by the Committee in
the ordinary course to have been met on a basis consistent with the Chief Executive Officer and the other senior executives under the Plan. Reasonable documentation supporting the calculation will be provided to Executive within a reasonable time
after request; and 
 (viii) all of Executive’s options to acquire Common Stock of the Company (“Options”) that
were granted prior to the date hereof, would have become vested (by lapse of time) following the Termination Date had Executive remained employed during such period and are set forth on the Awards Schedule will become immediately vested as of the
Termination Date; and 
 (ix) all of Executive’s vested but unexercised Options as of the Termination
Date set forth on the Awards Schedule (including those with accelerated vesting pursuant to Section 2(viii) above) shall remain exercisable through the earlier of (A) the original expiration date of the Option, (B) the 13-month
anniversary date of the Termination Date, or (C) the date that is the
10th anniversary of the original date of grant of the
Option; and 
 (x) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to Executive any
other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which Executive is eligible to receive otherwise than under this Agreement under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company (such other amounts and
benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Other Benefits”). 
 Executive shall not be eligible for any bonus
with respect to the fiscal 2011 performance period or for any additional incentive awards (including but not limited to Restricted Stock, Stock Options, and performance awards) after the date hereof. Except as specifically set forth above, Executive
shall cease to be eligible for all benefits (except as set forth above with respect to COBRA) as of the Termination Date. The Company’s obligation 

 

 - 4 - 

 
to provide the foregoing payments and benefits shall immediately terminate in the event Executive violates any of the provisions of this Agreement and fails to remedy such violation to the
satisfaction of the Chief Executive Officer within ten (10) days of notice of such violation. 
 For purposes of
Section 2(ii) and 2(iii), the term “Person who has a parent, affiliate, or subsidiary who is a Competing Person” shall exclude a private equity firm having an investment in a Competing Person provided that Executive can demonstrate to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer that (i) Executive’s services for such private equity firm are not in any way related to the private equity firm’s investment in such Competing Person,
(ii) Executive receives no information about the activities of such Competing Person, and (iii) Executive shares no information about Competitive Services with anyone at such private equity firm or such Competing Person. 

Executive acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of the consideration paid pursuant to this Section 2 and expressly agrees that no
further act or payment is owed by Company or any of its officers, directors, trustees, stockholders, employees, partners, members, agents, representatives, parent corporations, subsidiaries, affiliates, estates, successors, assigns or attorneys to
Executive or to any of his attorneys, agents or assigns (except for reimbursement of Executive’s legal fees of up to four billable hours in connection with the review of this Agreement). Executive agrees that Company’s failure to make
timely payment of any amount due pursuant to Section 2 shall not constitute a default or breach unless and until Company has failed to tender payment of such amount within ten (10) business days after receiving written notice from
Executive that he has not received timely payment. 
 Each payment of termination benefits under this Section 2, including,
without limitation, each installment payment and each payment or reimbursement of premiums for continued medical insurance coverage, shall be considered a separate payment, as described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2), for purposes of
Section 409A of the Code. 
 In the event of Executive’s death following the date of this Agreement but prior to the
Termination Date, the Termination Date shall be accelerated to the date of death. In the event of Executive’s death following the date of this Agreement, Executive’s estate shall be entitled to receive the termination benefits under this
Section 2 provided that the estate, in Executive’s place, complies with the provisions of this Agreement, other than the provisions of Section 3, and only if within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date the executor of the
estate has executed a General Release substantially similar to the Release attached as Exhibit A hereto and acceptable to the Company, in addition to the Release included in this Agreement, and the applicable revocation period shall have
expired. 
 3. Restrictions on Conduct of Executive. 

(a) General. Executive and the Company understand and agree that the purpose of the provisions of this Section 3 is to protect
legitimate business interests of the Company, as more fully described below, and is not intended to eliminate Executive’s post-employment 

 

 - 5 - 

 
competition with the Company per se, nor is it intended to impair or infringe upon Executive’s right to work, earn a living, or acquire and possess property from the fruits of his
labor. Executive hereby acknowledges that the post-employment restrictions set forth in this Section 3 are reasonable and that they do not, and will not, unduly impair his ability to earn a living after the termination of this Agreement.
Therefore, subject to the limitations of reasonableness imposed by law, Executive shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3. For greater certainty, after the Date of Termination it is not a violation of the Restrictive
Covenants for Executive to perform services for a Competing Person (assuming of course that none of the Restrictive Covenants contained herein are not violated in connection therewith) but such performance shall be subject to the consequences
described in Sections 2(ii) and 2(iii). For the purposes of Sections 3, 6, and 7, “Company” shall be deemed to include Company and all its parents, affiliates, and subsidiaries. 

(b) Definitions. The following terms used in this Section 3 (and elsewhere in the Agreement) shall have the meanings assigned
to them below, which definitions shall apply to both the singular and the plural forms of such terms:

issuing services, and gift card issuing services. 
 “Competing Person” is any Person engaged in Competitive

“Confidential Information” means all information regarding the Company, its activities, business or clients that is the
subject of reasonable efforts by the Company to maintain its confidentiality and that is not generally disclosed by practice or authority to persons not employed by the Company, but that does not rise to the level of a Trade Secret.
“Confidential Information” shall include, but is not limited to, financial plans and data concerning the Company; management planning information; business plans; operational methods; market studies; marketing plans or strategies; product
development techniques or plans; lists of current or prospective customers; details of customer contracts; current and anticipated customer requirements; past, current and planned research and development; business acquisition plans; and new
personnel acquisition plans. “Confidential Information” shall not include information that has become generally available to the public by the act of one who has the right to disclose such information without violating any right or
privilege of the Company. This definition shall not limit any definition of “confidential information” or any equivalent term under state or federal law.

Agreement or other agreement with the Company during the twelve (12) months prior to the Determination Date or (b) who is or was an independent sales representative or referral source with whom the Company has a contract during the twelve
(12) months prior to the Determination Date. 
 “Trade Secret” means all information, without regard to
form, including, but not limited to, technical or non-technical data, a formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a device, a method, a technique, a drawing, a process, financial data, financial plans, product plans, distribution lists or a list
of actual or potential customers, advertisers or suppliers which is not commonly known by or available to the public and which information: (A) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being
readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (B) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. Without limiting the

 (c) Restrictive Covenants. 

(i) Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. Executive understands and agrees that the
Confidential Information and Trade Secrets constitute valuable assets of the Company and its affiliated entities, and may not be converted to Executive’s own use. Accordingly, Executive hereby agrees that Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, at any time during his employment with Company or during the two (2) years immediately following the end of his employment with the Company for any reason reveal, divulge, or disclose to any Person not expressly authorized by the
Company any Confidential Information, and Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time during Executive’s employment with Company or during the two (2) years immediately following the termination of Executive’s employment
for any reason use or make use of any Confidential Information in connection with any business activity other than that of the Company. Throughout the term of Executive’s employment and at all times after Executive’s employment terminates
for any reason, Executive shall not directly or indirectly transmit or disclose any Trade Secret of the Company to any Person, and shall not make use of any such Trade Secret, directly or indirectly, for himself or for others, without the prior
written consent of the Company. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, alter either the Company’s rights or Executive’s obligations under any state or federal statutory or common law
regarding trade secrets and unfair trade practices. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive shall not be
restricted from disclosing or using Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by law, court order or other legal process; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by law, Executive shall provide the Company with
prompt notice of such requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by Executive. 

(ii) Non-solicitation of Protected Employees and Sales Agents. Executive understands and agrees that the relationship between the
Company and each of its Protected Employees and Sales Agents constitutes a valuable asset of the Company and may not be converted to Executive’s own use. Accordingly, Executive hereby agrees that during the Restricted Period Executive shall not
directly or indirectly on Executive’s own behalf or as a Principal or Representative of any Person or otherwise solicit or induce any Protected Employee with whom Executive worked or otherwise had material contact through his employment with
the Company to terminate his or her employment relationship with the Company or to enter into employment with any other Person. Executive also agrees that during the Restricted Period Executive shall not directly or indirectly on Executive’s
own behalf or as a Principal or Representative of any Person or otherwise solicit or induce any Sales Agent with whom Executive worked or otherwise had Material Contact (as defined in Section 3(c)(iii)) through his employment with the Company
to terminate his or her arrangement with the Company or to enter into an arrangement with any other Person for the purpose of providing or selling Competitive Services. 

(iii) Restriction on Relationships with Protected Customers. 

 

 - 8 - 

 
Executive understands and agrees that the relationship between the Company and each of its Protected Customers constitutes a valuable asset of the Company and may not be converted to
Executive’s own use. Accordingly, Executive hereby agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, on Executive’s own behalf or as a Principal or
Representative of any Person, solicit, divert, take away or attempt to solicit, divert or take away a Protected Customer for the purpose of providing or selling Competitive Services; provided, however, that the prohibition of this covenant shall
apply only to Protected Customers with whom Executive had Material Contact on the Company’s behalf during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the termination of his employment hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive
had “Material Contact” with a Protected Customer or Sales Agent if (a) he had business dealings with the Protected Customer or Sales Agent on the Company’s behalf or (b) he was responsible for supervising or coordinating the
dealings between the Company and the Protected Customer or Sales Agent. 
 (d) Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants.

 (i) Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. In the event Executive breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the
provisions of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, which shall be independent of any others and severally enforceable, and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies
available to the Company at law or in equity: 
 (A) the right and remedy to enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, Executive
from violating or threatening to violate the Restrictive Covenants and to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants
would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company; and 

(B) the right and remedy to require Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, or other
benefits derived or received by Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants. 

(ii) Severability of Covenants. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid in time
and scope and in all other respects. The covenants set forth in this Agreement shall be considered and construed as separate and independent covenants. Should any part or provision of any covenant be held invalid, void or unenforceable in any court
of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement. If any portion of the foregoing provisions is found to be invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, the territory, the definition of activities or the definition of information covered is considered to be invalid or 

 

 - 9 - 

 
unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unreasonable term shall be redefined, or a new enforceable term provided, such that the intent of the Company and Executive in agreeing to the provisions of
this Agreement will not be impaired and the provision in question shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the applicable laws. 
 This
Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 4. Denial of Liability. 

Neither Company’s agreement to pay the sums described above nor anything else connected with this Agreement is to be construed as
evidence of an admission of liability or of any discriminatory or otherwise unlawful actions or practices on the part of Company or any of the Releasees (as defined below). Company expressly denies all liability to Executive. 

5. General Release and Non-Assignment of Claims. 

Executive, for himself, his successors, assigns, attorneys, and all those entitled to assert his rights, now and forever hereby releases
and discharges the Company and its respective officers, directors, stockholders, trustees, employees, agents, parent corporations, subsidiaries, affiliates, estates, successors, assigns and attorneys (“the Releasees”), from any and all
claims, actions, causes of action, sums of money due, suits, debts, liens, covenants, contracts (including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement), obligations (including, without limitation, those under the Employment Agreement), costs,
expenses, damages, judgments, agreements, promises, demands, claims for attorney’s fees and costs, or liabilities whatsoever, in law or in equity, which Executive ever had or now has against the Releasees, including, without limitation, any
claims arising by reason of or in any way connected with any employment relationship which existed between the Company or any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, or predecessors, and Executive. It is understood and agreed that this Release is
intended to cover all actions, causes of action, claims or demands for any damage, loss or injury, whether known or unknown, of any nature whatsoever, including those which may be traced either directly or indirectly to the aforesaid employment
relationship, or the termination of that relationship, that Executive has, had or purports to have, from the beginning of time to the date of Executive’s execution of this Agreement, and including but not limited to claims for employment
discrimination under federal or state law; claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq., Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000(e), et seq.
or the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.; claims for statutory or common law wrongful discharge, claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et
seq.; claims for attorney’s fees, expenses and costs; claims for defamation; claims for emotional distress; claims for wages or vacation pay; claims for benefits, including any claims arising under the Executive Retirement Income
Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1001, et seq.; and claims under any other applicable federal, state or local laws or legal concepts; provided, however, that nothing herein shall release the Company of any indemnification
obligations to Executive under the Company’s bylaws, certificate of incorporation, Delaware law or otherwise. 
 Executive
hereby acknowledges, understanding that the truth of said acknowledgment is necessary to the making of this Agreement, that he has no claim, allegation, complaint or 

 

 - 10 - 

 
charge of any kind pending in any forum against Company or any Releasee as of the date of execution of this Agreement and that he has not heretofore assigned or otherwise transferred any of the
claims released by him through this Agreement. 
 6. Executive Cooperation. 

Executive agrees, in consideration of the above-described payments, that he will reasonably cooperate with Company to effect the
transition of his responsibilities as required by Company. Executive further agrees, in consideration of the above-described payments and benefits, that after the execution of this Agreement, he will reasonably cooperate with and assist Company by
providing information relevant to matters as to which he gained knowledge while employed by Company and/or its predecessors and that, upon reasonable notice from Company, he will meet with Company's attorneys and other representatives, appear at
hearings, depositions, trials and other proceedings relating to such matters. Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses necessitated by his cooperation hereunder. 

7. Return of Materials. 

On or before the Termination Date, Executive shall return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property in
Executive’s possession at any time, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, drawings, records, business plans and forecasts, financial information, specifications, all product specifications, product supply information, vendor
information, merchant information, ISO information, business planning or strategy information, information about Company employees, customer identity information, product development information, source code information, object code information,
tangible property (including, but not limited to, computers), intellectual property, credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys; and, any materials of any kind which contain or embody Trade Secrets and Confidential Information of
Company (and all reproductions thereof). Executive shall not retain or provide to anyone else any copies, summaries, abstracts, descriptions, compilations or other representations of such information or things or their contents. Company may withhold
payment of any amounts due under this Agreement subject to the return of all such information and property. 
 8. Governing
Law. 
 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Georgia, except the
choice of law provisions thereof. Any legal action regarding this Agreement or the provisions hereof shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in or including Fulton County, Georgia and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of such
courts and waive any objections to such jurisdiction. 
 9. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Waiver. Failure of either party to insist, in one or more instances, on performance by the other in strict accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any right granted in this Agreement or of the future performance of any such term or condition or of any other term or condition of this Agreement, unless such
waiver is contained in a writing signed by the party making the waiver. 
  

 - 11 - 

 (b) Severability. If any provision or covenant, or any part thereof, of this
Agreement should be held by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, either in whole or in part, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or
covenants, or any part thereof, of this Agreement, all of which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (c) Other
Agents. Nothing in this Agreement is to be interpreted as limiting the Company from employing other personnel on such terms and conditions as may be satisfactory to it. 

(d) Entire Agreement. Except as provided herein, this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and Executive
with respect to the subject matter hereof and, from and after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede any other agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
