Section 2.1. Company Services. During the term of this Agreement,

(a) Company, at its own expense, will conduct a merchant Transaction Card acquiring and ACH services business and will solicit merchants for participation in Company’s Transaction Card processing and ACH services program (the “Merchant Program”), using a Merchant Agreement approved by Bank, and under which the actual rates or fees applicable to Merchants may be selected by Company from a schedule of rates and fees approved by Bank. Any other application materials used by Company in soliciting Merchants also must be approved by Bank. Bank may require Company to change such Merchant Agreement, application materials, and rates and fees, at any time for the purpose of conforming to requirements under the Rules, the ACH Rules, or otherwise imposed by the Card Associations or NACHA, or to conform to requirements of Applicable Law or directions or guidance issued by governmental authorities with supervisory authority over Bank, and Company shall implement such changes within a reasonable time following written notice, but in no event later than the time period required by a Card Association or NACHA, the Rules, the ACH Rules, Applicable Law, or such directions or guidance issued by governmental authorities with supervisory authority over Bank.

(b) Company has developed criteria to be used for selection of merchants to participate in the Merchant Program (the “Merchant Criteria”). This Merchant Criteria is agreed upon by Company and Bank, and is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Company and Bank agree, except as provided below, to enter into Merchant Agreements in connection with the Merchant Program only with merchants meeting the Merchant Criteria. Company has the right to propose changes in the Merchant Criteria from time to time, and shall provide any proposed changes in Merchant Criteria to Bank for approval prior to implementation. Changes, if any, to the Merchant Criteria proposed by Company must be preapproved in writing by Bank. Bank shall make reasonable efforts to provide Company with notice of approval or disapproval of such changes to Merchant Criteria within five (5) business days of requested change. Bank may require Company to change the Merchant Criteria at any time, for the purpose of conforming to requirements under the Rules, the ACH Rules, or otherwise imposed by the Card Associations or NACHA, or to conform to requirements of Applicable Law or directions or guidance issued by governmental authorities with supervisory authority over Bank, and Company shall implement such changes within a reasonable time following written notice, but in no event later than the time period required by a Card Association, NACHA, the Rules, the ACH Rules, Applicable Law, or such directions or guidance issued by governmental authorities with supervisory authority over Bank. For each Merchant Agreement that does not meet the Merchant Criteria (as amended from time to time in the manner described above), Company may submit each such Merchant Agreement to Bank for approval and Bank shall make reasonable efforts to provide Company with notice of approval or disapproval of such Merchant Agreement within three (3) business days; provided, however, Bank shall not be required to consider such exception requests for

-4-

more than ten (10) proposed merchants per month. For purposes of changes or exceptions to the Merchant Criteria and/or approval or disapproval of a Merchant who does not comply with the Merchant Criteria, electronic mail notices will be permitted. Company will provide an electronic copy (or if unavailable in such electronic form, then in paper form) of any executed Merchant Agreement (including all related applications relating to processing by the Card Associations).

(i) Company represents and warrants: (1) that a Materially complete, true and correct list of Merchants (“Existing Merchants”) in the existing merchant portfolio of Company (“Existing Portfolio”) as of June 23, 2004 is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit 2.1(c)-l, and (2) that except as set forth in Exhibit 2.1(c)-2, none of the Merchants in the Existing Portfolio operate in the unacceptable industries outlined in the Merchant Criteria; and (3) that, subject to execution of acceptable transfer documents with ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank and the Card Associations, it has the authority and light to assign and transfer the merchant agreements, merchant accounts and merchant reserves for the Existing Merchants in the Existing Portfolio to Bank. At Bank’s request, Company shall obtain a signed Merchant Agreement, in a form approved by Bank, from such of its Existing Merchants as Bank shall specify and Company shall provide a signed copy thereof to Bank. In the event Bank determines, in its reasonable discretion, that a form of Merchant Agreement is not in compliance with the Rules, the ACH Rules, or Applicable Law, or is otherwise inconsistent with Bank’s rights under this Agreement, and that the only reasonable remedy is to replace such agreement with one that is in compliance with the Rules, the ACH Rules, Applicable Law and this Agreement, or to the extent permitted by such Merchant Agreement, amended such that it is brought into compliance with the Rules, the ACH Rules, Applicable Law and this Agreement, Company will, at Bank’s request obtain a substitute agreement from such Existing Merchant or amend the existing Merchant Agreement with such Existing Merchant. Bank acknowledges that it has received forms of merchant agreements from Company for the Existing Portfolio as outlined on Exhibit 2.1(c)-3, which are acceptable to Bank.

(ii) Bank agrees that each Merchant in the Existing Portfolio is approved by Bank to participate in the Merchant Program pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, subject to Bank’s continued credit review. Should Bank determine that an Existing Merchant within the Existing Portfolio does not meet the Merchant Criteria and is not listed in Exhibit 2.1(c)-2, following the Effective Date, Bank may decline such Merchant and cease providing clearing and settlement services and ACH services under this Agreement, in Bank’s sole discretion. Bank will provide written notice of its desire to terminate a Merchant Agreement to Company prior to terminating a Merchant and to work with Company to identify approaches to mitigate risk factors (such as initiating or increasing Merchant Reserves or transfer of the Merchant to another acquirer) prior to terminating such Merchant if Bank concludes that it can do so without

-5-

increased risk to Bank or violation of the Rules, the ACH Rules, other Card Association or NACHA requirements, Applicable Law or directions or guidance of a governmental authority with supervisory authority over Bank.

(iii) Company represents and warrants that, except as set forth herein, its merchant processing and ACH services business has been operated, and that the Existing Portfolio has been acquired and maintained, in compliance in all Material respects with Applicable Law and the Rules and the ACH Rules. In February 2003, an Affiliate of Company, TransFirst ePayment Services, Inc., formerly known as Data Processors International, Inc. (“ePayment”), suffered a hacking incident to its data processing systems, with the potential exposure of cardholder and merchant data. The Card Associations asserted that ePayment was not in compliance with applicable cardholder data security requirements. To the best of knowledge of Company, ePayment has resolved these claims with the Card Associations and ePayment is currently certified under the existing Card Association data security programs.

(iv) Following the Effective Date, Company shall assist Bank in performing such credit reviews on all or any of the Existing Merchants as Bank may from time to time request, and agrees to provide Bank at a minimum with the following documentation:

(A) An electronic report of the annual Transaction Card sales volume for each Existing Merchant account, including account numbers, d.b.a. names, legal names, addresses, start dates, MCC codes, annual sales and transactions, annual returns and annual Chargebacks.

(B) Upon request by Bank, a copy of the Existing Merchant’s application, data sheets, DDA account balances, and any other information Bank deems necessary to perform a credit review.

(C) A list of all Existing Merchants on Card Association compliance programs, internal watch list or classified accounts or any collateralized accounts.

(D) Upon request by Bank, a financial statement (including a balance sheet and an income statement) on all Existing Merchants with $[***] or more in high risk annual Bank Card sales volume, or those Existing Merchants where Bank finds such financial statements necessary addition, Company shall promptly provide any additional documentation as may be reasonably requested by Bank.

(v) If under Section 2.1(c)(iv) Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that Company has insufficient data upon which Bank can perform an adequate and proper credit review on an Existing Merchant, Company will obtain a fully completed Merchant Application from each such Existing Merchant. If Company is unable to obtain a fully completed Application from an Existing Merchant, Bank may decline such Merchant and cease providing clearing and settlement services and ACH services for such Merchant under this Agreement.

(d) Company shall be responsible for all obligations of Merchants arising under the Merchant Agreements, including, without limitation, Losses (including for merchant fraud) and chargebacks, unless such Losses directly result from the Material breach by Bank of its obligations hereunder involving no Material failure by Company to perform its obligations hereunder and no Material failure by any of the parties referred to in this Section 2.1, in Article III or Exhibit 2.2(H) to perform their obligations under the applicable agreements or the Rules, the ACH Rules or Applicable Law. Company will direct, manage, conduct and administer the Merchant Program and the Merchant Agreements; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to authorize Company to modify the Merchant Agreements, or to waive any of Bank’s rights thereunder, without Bank’s prior written consent. Any functions the Card Associations require to be performed by persons registered with or certified by the Card Associations or otherwise as provided in the Rules, and which are not directly performed by Company or its Party Provider shall be conducted with qualified industry vendors who are competent and who are, as defined below, either certified processors, registered ISOs/MSPs or ISAs as allowed by and provided under the Rules, and in each case shall be pre-approved by Bank.

(e) The responsibility to conduct the Merchant Program, including obtaining processing services for the Merchant Program, shall be the responsibility of Company. Company (or its Affiliate) has entered or is entering into an agreement directly with Vital Processing Services, L.L.C. (the “Third Party Provider”) to provide processing services on the Third Party Provider’s system (the “Processing Agreement”). Bank shall have no responsibility or liability for any costs due to this processing arrangement of Company (or its Affiliate) and Third Party Provider or any claims of Merchants or others related to the processing services provided by Third Party Provider for the Merchant Program; additionally, Bank shall have no responsibility or liability for any other third party vendor of Company providing services to Company, Merchants or the Merchant Program.

Company agrees to provide all documents related to the Merchant Program to Bank for approval prior to Company’s use; Bank will approve or disapprove such documents within a reasonable time, such approval not to be reasonably withheld. Bank’s approval shall not in any way relieve Company from its responsibility for assuring that all such documents comply with Applicable Law and the Rules and the ACH Rules. Company will designate a liaison to interface with Bank and will provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Bank to carry out and accomplish the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) From time to time in its sole discretion, Bank may also perform certain risk management services, such as periodic credit reviews, fraud reviews and monitoring and collections, with respect to Merchants.

(iii) Bank agrees that each ePayment Merchant in the ePayment Portfolio shall be approved by Bank to participate in the Merchant Program pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, subject to Bank’s continued credit review.

Bank will provide written notice of its desire to terminate a Merchant Agreement to Company prior to terminating an ePayment Merchant and to work with Company to identify approaches to mitigate risk factors (such as initiating or increasing Merchant Reserves or transfer of the ePayment Merchant to another acquirer) prior to terminating such Merchant if Bank concludes that it can do so without increased risk to Bank or violation of the Rules, the ACH Rules, other Card Association or NACHA requirements, Applicable Law or directions or guidance of a governmental authority with supervisory authority over Bank.

If approved by Bank, such Agent must then be registered with the Card Associations in accordance with the Rules. Bank may terminate any such Agent Bank in accordance with the Rules, or as otherwise required by the Card Associations or by directions or guidance of a governmental authority with supervisory authority over Bank. Company shall be responsible for monitoring the activities of all such Agents to ensure, and for ensuring, compliance with the Rules governing these entities, with the applicable contractual agreements, with this Agreement, and with Applicable Law. Company will direct, manage, conduct, administer and enforce the Agent agreements of Company as to such Agents and, as to Bank, shall be responsible and liable for the acts and omissions of all such Agents and merchants of such Agents, and for all Losses relating to any of the same, except the extent any such claims or Losses directly result from the Material breach by Bank of its obligations hereunder involving no Material failure by Company to perform its obligations hereunder and no Material failure by any of the third parties referred to in Section 2.1, Article III or Exhibit 2.2(H) to perform their obligations under the applicable agreements or the Rules, the ACH Rules or Applicable Law. However, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as authorizing Company to modify any such agreements with any such Agents, or the Merchant Agreements with any such Merchants, or to waive any of Bank’s rights under any such Merchant Agreements with any such Merchants. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to alter the responsibilities of the parties under this Agreement with regard to Merchants established via Company’s Agent Bank relationships (including without limitation, Bank’s right to prior approval of Merchants, of the form of Merchant Agreements and application materials, of the schedule from which fees and charges are selected for use in Merchant Agreements, and regarding Bank’s rights to terminate Merchants and to change or make exceptions to, or to decline to change or make exceptions to, the Merchant Criteria).

Section 3.3. Acquisitions. Bank acknowledges that Company may, from time to time, acquire the stock or assets of other entities that provide processing services for merchants. In addition, it is acknowledged by Bank and Company that, if requested by Company and approved by Bank in its reasonable discretion, Bank will provide the services contemplated under this Agreement to such of the acquired merchants as (1) satisfy the Merchant Criteria and (2) either (i) agree to enter into a Merchant Agreement in the form, and providing for the charges and fees, approved by Bank as provided in Section 2.1 or (ii) have existing merchant agreements which are in form and substance, and provide for charges and fees, as shall be satisfactory to Bank, and (3) with respect to which the Company increases the Company Reserve Account by an amount satisfactory to the Bank and (4) do not, by virtue of such acquisition, Materially change the business or risk profile of Company. Bank’s approval of its providing services under this agreement for such acquisitions will be completed through the Bank’s signing of an assignment and assumption agreement for the acquired merchants’ business, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Bank. This agreement contemplates that Bank will provide services that are the subject of this Agreement for acquisitions made by Company. However, the parties acknowledge that Bank is under no obligation to provide services under this Agreement for acquisitions made by the Company after the date of this Agreement. Upon such approval the

BANK FEES

Section 4.1. Bank Fees. Company agrees to pay all fees as specified in the Exhibit B with respect to services provided by Bank under this agreement.

ARTICLE V

SETTLEMENT

Section 5.1. Settlement.

(a) Bank will establish one or more special agency accounts for merchant settlement (the “Merchant Settlement Accounts”), which will be owned by Bank, to receive settlement from Card Associations, through Company’s designated Third Party Provider, with respect to the Merchant Program, to settle ACH debit and credit entries transmitted pursuant to Exhibit 2.2(H), and to receive discount rates/fees, processing fees, transaction fees and other fees and charges owing by Merchants under their Merchant Agreements for the Merchant Program (collectively, “discount fees”). Company agrees it has no right, title or interest in the Merchant Settlement Accounts. At no expense to Bank, Bank will cooperate with Company’s Third Party Provider to settle transactions through the interchange process of the Card Associations and to settle ACH debit and credit entries transmitted pursuant to Exhibit 2.2(H). Bank will provide fund transfers for the payment and transfer of funds to Merchants. Company shall be responsible for the cost of making fund transfers to Merchants as set forth on Exhibit B. Company will maintain an account (the “Company Account”) for the purpose of receiving amounts transferred from the Merchant Settlement Accounts after payment of amounts due to Merchants, Bank, and the Company Reserve Account. Company will provide Bank with routing instructions to effect transfers to and from the Company Account. Company authorizes Bank to initiate and make transfer to and from the Company Account to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to Section 5.4, any amounts in the Merchant Settlement Accounts with respect to the Merchant Program net of those funds paid to Merchants, Bank or the Company Reserve Account shall be paid to the Company Account on each Bank business day. Any deficit in the Company Account balance shall be resolved within (3) business days by Company’s payment of immediately available funds into the Company Account or directly to Bank to cover any deficit. The parties acknowledge that there may be rare occasions when Bank must pay the daily settlement funds but does not receive funding for the daily settlement funds on that day from the applicable clearing Company agrees to reimburse Bank, on demand, at the LIBOR Rate the amount of “float cost” Bank incurs as a result of fronting the settlement amount, together with such settlement amount as well as any other cost, fees, or Losses associated with Bank’s payment of the settlement amount. Nothing herein

-15-

shall be construed as obligating Bank to front the settlement amount (i) for more than one (1) business day, or (ii) when there shall have occurred and be continuing any other Event of Default by Company or any event affecting Company referred to in Section 11.5(a) or (b). If the reason for the failure to receive funding for daily settlement amount arises due to any act or omission of the Party Provider, and such failure may require the fronting of settlement for more than one (1) business day, Bank and Company shall work in good faith to resolve the issue(s) which resulted in such failure and to provide the payment of settlement to Merchants as soon as is practicable.

(b) Company will maintain a positive balance in the Company Account at all times sufficient to accommodate all funding required by this Agreement. If at any time the Company Account balance is negative, Bank shall give Company written notice of such deficit and Company shall have three (3) business days to cure such deficit. Any fees or interest expenses with respect to funding such deficit shall be reimbursed by Company, on demand by Bank, at the LIBOR Rate. Such notice may be provided by electronic mail or fax.

(c) Bank agrees to fund interchange (the fee paid daily by Bank to the Card Associations for entering sales and credit transactions into the settlement networks of the Card Associations) and related assessments on behalf of Company for the Merchant Program, provided (i) that there shall not have occurred and be continuing any Event of Default by Company or any event affecting Company referred to in Section 11.5(a) or (b), and (ii) that Company reimburses Bank for such interchange and assessments paid and pays the fees set forth in Exhibit C, in the manner specified in subsection (d) below.

(d) Each month, on or about the tenth (10^th) calendar day of such month, Company will prepare an ACH file of the aggregate discount fees for the prior month, debiting each Merchant’s settlement account or reserve account, as the case may be, and crediting such discount fees to the Merchant Settlement Accounts referred to in (a) above. In the event Company fails to prepare such ACH file, Bank may do so, based on information provided directly to Bank by the Third Party Provider (or any successor thereto), and, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Processing Agreement (or comparable agreement with any successor to the Third Party Provider), Company hereby authorizes and directs Third Party Provider (and any successor thereto) to provide such information directly to Bank for such purpose. Upon receipt of the funds generated by such file, Bank will remit such funds to the Company Account, less an amount equal to sum of (i) the actual interchange and assessment fees paid or to be paid by Bank on Company’s behalf for the prior month, and (ii) the fees set forth in Exhibit C, (iii) any amounts required to fund or replenish the Company Reserve Account, and (iv) any other amounts due and owing to Bank.

Section 5.2. Company Account Funds. As between Bank and Company, Company shall be responsible for all Card Association fees, assessments and charges, and for all Losses, including without limitation, fines associated with the Merchant Program as more fully described in ARTICLE VIII herein. Subject to Section 5.4, Company shall be entitled to all funds remaining in the Company Account after payment of said sums. To the extent Company owes Bank for obligations arising under this Agreement, Bank shall satisfy such obligations first from

-16-

the Merchant Settlement Accounts or the Company Account, prior to satisfying any such obligations from funds in the Company Reserve Account. Company remains responsible for any amounts owing Bank if such Accounts are not sufficient to satisfy such obligations.

Section 5.3. Company Reserve Account.

(a) Funding. Company will establish a Company Reserve Account (“Company Reserve Account”) to fund the payment of Merchant Losses, Transaction Card chargebacks, Losses on ACH transactions for Merchants or Company, fees and other amounts due to Bank, and, subject to Section 5.3(d), will fund the Company Reserve Account either by transferring funds from existing reserve accounts currently held at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Chase Bank or by depositing funds with Bank, in an amount sufficient to satisfy the reserve requirements specified in Exhibit 5.3(A). The timing of such transfer will be determined by mutual agreement of Bank, Company and, if the funds are transferred from the existing reserve at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank. Bank will notify Company of any deductions from the Company Reserve Account. In the event the Merchant Settlement Accounts and Company Account are insufficient or unavailable for reimbursement of Merchant chargebacks, Losses on ACH transactions for Merchants or Company, or other Losses, Bank may eliminate any Merchant chargeback, ACH related Loss, or other Loss via deduction of the amount of such chargeback, ACH related Loss, or other Loss from the Company Reserve Account without notice to Company. The Company Reserve Account will earn funds credit at the Earnings Credit Rate specified in Exhibit B.

(b) Mechanics. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, when the Company Reserve Account is fully funded pursuant to Section 5.3(a) above, no further funding of the Company Reserve Account shall be required unless to replenish the Company Reserve Account, as described in Exhibit 5.3(A). It is expressly agreed and understood by the parties hereto that the level of reserves and reserve policy currently existing in Company, as required by Company’s current criteria and related underwriting are sufficient to fully fund any reserves required by Bank per Section 5.3(a) and will continue to be sufficient as long as the business and/or risk profile of Company (taking into consideration factors such as type of Merchant or Merchant volume) does not Materially change.

(1) The Company Reserve Account shall remain deposited at Bank throughout the term of this Agreement, including any extensions and renewals thereof, and through the end of any period of continued servicing as described in Section 11.7. In the event that there are any unresolved obligations or liabilities of Company at the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the conclusion of any period of continued servicing as described in Section 11.7, Bank may retain in the Company Reserve Account a sum equal to 1.5 times the aggregate of such unresolved obligations or liabilities and may retain such sums until satisfactory resolution of the obligations or claims. Sums so retained shall be in addition to any sums retained pursuant to subsections (2) or (3) below. Bank will

-17-

permit the entire amount held in the Company Reserve Account, except for sums, if any, retained pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection (1), to be withdrawn by Company, upon the execution and delivery of an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, by Bank and by the member in good standing of the Associations which has been recognized by the Card Associations as the assignee of the BINs and ICAs relating to the Merchant Program, and which has capitalization which is acceptable to Bank, in its reasonable discretion, whereby such member, having been designated by Company pursuant to Section 10.4, receives the assignments referred to therein and, concurrently therewith, assumes all liabilities associated with the assigned BINs/ICAs, including without limitation all trailing chargeback liabilities.

(3) Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and the conclusion of any period of continued servicing as described in Section 11.7, Bank may retain in the Company Reserve Account a equal to the average monthly losses on ACH Transactions, whether for Merchants or Company, during the (3) month period occurring prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination or, if later, prior to the conclusion of any period of continued servicing as described in Section 11.7, multiplied by three (3), and may hold such funds for a period of three (3) months following the effective date of such expiration or termination or, if later, following the conclusion of any period of continued servicing as described in Section 11.7. Sums so retained shall be in addition to any sums retained pursuant to subsection (1) or subsection (2) above.

(d) Letter of Credit.

(1) In lieu of funding the Company Reserve Account, Company may procure an irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”), which Letter of Credit shall: (i) be a stand-by, at-sight, irrevocable letter of credit; (ii) be in the initial amount required to fund the Company Reserve Account under Exhibit 5.3(A): (iii) be drawn on an FDIC insured financial institution with an “A” credit rating or above and is reasonably satisfactory to the Bank; (iv) be payable to

-18-

Bank; (v) require that any draw on the Letter of Credit shall be made only upon receipt by the issuer of a letter signed by a purported authorized representative of Bank certifying that Bank is entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement; (vi) allow partial draws; and (viii) provide that it is governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 revisions) or the International Standby Practices (ISP 98). The Letter of Credit (and any renewals or replacements thereof) shall be for a term of not less than one (1) year.

(2) Bank may present its written demand for payment of a portion of the amount of the Letter of Credit as is required to compensate Bank for Losses, Transaction Card chargebacks, Losses on ACH transactions for Merchants or Company, fees and other amounts due to Bank under the Agreement.

(3) Company agrees that it shall from time to time, as necessary, whether as a result of a draw on the Letter of Credit by Bank pursuant to the terms hereof, or any increase in the amount required as a deposit in the Company Reserve Account, or as a result of the expiration of the Letter of Credit then in effect, renew or replace the original and any subsequent Letter of Credit so that a Letter of Credit, in the amount required hereunder, is in effect until a date which is at least one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement or, if later, the date on which any period of continued servicing pursuant to Section 11.7 shall have concluded or, if later, the date on which there shall remain no further Company Reserve Account requirement pursuant to any of Section 5.3(c)(1) or (2) or (3). If Company fails to furnish such renewal or replacement at least thirty (30) days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Bank and, in the case of a replenishment of or increase in the amount required as a deposit in the Company Reserve Account, within three (3) business days after request therefor by Bank, then Bank, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, at its option may draw upon the full amount of such Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) as a security deposit, and such sum shall be deposited into the Company Reserve Account, and/or may fund all or part of the required balance to be maintained in the Company Reserve Account by any of the means referred to in Exhibit 5.3(A). Any renewal or replacement of the original or any subsequent Letter of Credit shall meet the requirements for the original Letter of Credit as set forth above, except that such replacement or renewal shall be issued by a national bank with an “A” credit rating or above and reasonably satisfactory to Bank at the time of the issuance thereof.

(4) If Bank draws on the Letter of Credit as permitted in this Agreement, then, upon demand of Bank, Company shall restore the amount available under the Letter of Credit to its original amount by providing Bank with an amendment to the Letter of Credit evidencing that the amount available under the Letter of Credit has been restored to its original amount. In the alternative, Company may provide Bank with cash, to be held by Bank in the Company Reserve Account in accordance with Section 5.3(a) of the Agreement, equal to the restoration amount required under the Letter of Credit.

(5) The parties agree that the Company Reserve Account will in any event be established and maintained at Bank as provided herein, but will not be funded in the manner provided herein if a Letter of Credit meeting the requirements set out above shall be duly issued by the Effective Date and shall remain in effect thereafter with an available balance corresponding to the amount required from time to time, determined in accordance with the provisions hereof applicable to the Company Reserve Account. If at any time, before or after termination of this Agreement, there ceases to remain in effect such a Letter of Credit, in such amount and meeting such requirements set out above, Bank, at its option, may fund the Company Reserve Account using funds drawn under any such Letter of Credit and/or by any of the means referred to in Exhibit 5.3(A).

The parties expressly acknowledge that in the course of Bank’s and Company’s negotiation of this Agreement and the performance hereunder, both parties have disclosed prior to the date hereof and may continue to learn certain confidential patent, copyright, business, trade secret, proprietary or other like information of the other party or third parties, including but not limited to the other party’s vendors, consultants, suppliers or customers (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each party expressly agrees that it will keep strictly confidential any such Confidential Information it learns, will limit access to such Confidential Information to those employees who have a need to know same, and shall only use such Confidential Information to the extent required to exercise their respective rights and to perform their respective duties under this Agreement or to its professional advisors (provided they are subject to retaining the Confidential Information confidential as provided in this section) or, in the case of Bank, to bank regulators having supervisory authority over Bank, and will not otherwise use or disclose the Confidential Information to any other person except for disclosures required by Applicable Law.

Section 10.2. Non-Confidential Information. The provisions of this Article shall not apply to information which: (i) is in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving party without restriction at the time of receipt under this Agreement; (ii) is used or disclosed with the prior written approval of the disclosing party; (iii) is independently developed by the receiving party; (iv) is or becomes known to the receiving party from a source other than the disclosing party without breach of this Agreement by the receiving party; or (v) is ordered to be released by a court of competent jurisdiction or appropriate regulatory authority, but in such a case the party required to disclose the information, to the extent possible, shall provide the other party with timely prior notice of the requirements and coordinate with such other party in an effort to limit the nature and scope of the required disclosure.

Section 10.3. Remedy. In the event of any breach of this Article X, the parties agree that the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable harm and the total amount of monetary damages for any injury to the non-breaching party from any violation of this Article X will be impossible to calculate and will therefore be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief against the breaching party, its affiliate, employees, officers, directors, agents, representative or independent contractors, and the other rights and remedies to which the non-breaching party may be entitled to at law, in equity and under this agreement for any violation of this Article X. The provisions of this entire Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.4. Ownership of Merchant, 1SO/MSP, and Agent Bank Relationships. Bank and Company agree that the relationship with, and the names, addresses and all information relating to Merchants, any ISOs/MSPs, and any Agent Banks of the Merchant Program, the Merchant Agreements and any revenues, fees and benefits thereunder, are owned by and proprietary to Company and all right, title and interest therein are vested in Company (subject,

-27-

however, to Bank’s rights under the provisions hereof, including without limitation Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, and under the provisions of the various Merchant, ISO/MSP, Agent bank and other agreements referred to herein and the Rules). Such information constitutes the Confidential Information of Company for purposes of this Agreement. Company shall be entitled to all revenues, profits, benefits, fees, discount rates and ongoing relationships with Merchants, ISOs/MSPs, and Agent Banks, including the rights and benefits of the Merchant Agreements and ISO/MSP Agreements related to the Merchant Program (subject, however, to Bank’s rights under the provisions hereof, including without limitation Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, and under the provisions of the various Merchant, ISO/MSP, Agent bank and other agreements referred to herein and the Rules). Provided that Company is not in default involving an amount or amounts owed to Bank in excess of Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000), Bank agrees that Company shall have the sole right to designate any sale, transfer or assignment of the ISO/MSP Agreements, Merchant Agreements, Agent Agreements, Merchant Reserve Accounts and any BIN or ICA related to the Merchant Program (and used exclusively in connection with the ISO/MSP Agreements and Merchant Agreements to be assigned) to another financial institution which is a member in good standing of the Card Associations and qualified under the Rules to receive such sale, transfer or assignment and which meets the capitalization requirement referred to in Section 5.3(c)(l), provided that Company is responsible for any out-of-pocket costs including but not limited to taxes, counsel fees and costs of deconversion, of such sale, transfer or assignment transaction, and provided further that any such sale, transfer or assignment shall be without recourse to Bank and made pursuant to an agreement between Bank and such other financial institution in accordance with Section 5.3(c)(1)). Company shall remain responsible for all chargebacks and other Losses related to the Merchant Program, Merchant Agreements, ISO/MSP Agreements, Merchants, ISOs/MSPs, and Agent Blanks as provided in Section 8.2 and elsewhere herein.

Section 10.5. Bank Processing Fees. The bank processing fees to be paid by Company to Bank shall be as described on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof.

Section 10.6. Non-solicitation. Bank and its Affiliates shall not use the Company’s listing of, or other Confidential Information of Company relating to, Merchants, ISOs/MSPs, or Agent Blanks of Company or its Affiliates to solicit contracts therewith, without the prior written consent of Company. This prohibition shall not preclude any solicitations made other than with the use of such listings or Confidential Information. The economic benefits of any agreements entered into in violation of this Section 10.6 shall accrue to the benefit of the Company.

Section 10.7. Press Releases. All press releases, public announcements or similar public disclosures (including, without limitation, disclosures by a website) by either Party relating to this Agreement or its subject matter, including promotional or marketing material, will be coordinated with and approved in writing by the other Party prior to release. This provision does not (i) prohibit disclosures a Party is required to make under Applicable Law (including, without limitation, SEC requirements), or (ii) alter the restrictions on the disclosure of Confidential Information set forth in this Agreement.

Section 11.4. Termination Upon Default.

-29-

Company Account or to otherwise pay amounts owing to Bank under this Agreement) after delivery of written notice describing the Event of Default (which, in the case of notice of Company failure to fund the Company Account or to otherwise pay amounts owing to Bank, may be by electronic mail or fax), then the nondefaulting party shall be entitled at its sole election, to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party, except if otherwise agreed by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Event of Default requires earlier termination due to Card Association or NACHA requirements, then the non-defaulting party may terminate as required by the Rules or ACH Rules, subject to reasonable documentation thereof.

Section 11.5. Termination by Reasons of Bankruptcy or Other Material Events. In the event of the occurrence of any of the following events, the party indicated shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon providing written notice to the other party:

(b) By either party, in the event of the suspension or termination of business or dissolution of, or the appointment of a receiver, conservator, trustee or similar officer to take charge of, a substantial part of the property of the other party; or

(c) By Company, in the event of Bank’s loss of principal membership in either of the Card Associations or in the event either Card Association or Bank’s principal regulator(s) place any restrictions on Bank which Materially impair Bank’s ability to perform the services under this Agreement or the ability of Company to add Merchants to the Merchant Program (provided, the imposition of such restrictions involved no Material failure by Company to perform its obligations hereunder and no Material failure by any of the third parties referred to in Section 2.1 or Article III or Exhibit 2.2(H) to perform their obligations under the applicable agreements or the Rules, the ACH Rules or Applicable Law); or

(d) By Bank, in the event of Company’s loss of its ISO/MSP registration in either of the Card Associations due to revocation or non-renewal of such registration by such Card Association.

(e) By Bank, in the event of the expiration or termination for any reason of the Processing Agreement, or any uncured breach by Company of the Processing Agreement which results in a failure by Company to perform its agreement in Section 2.2(b) respecting the Third Party Provider (it being understood, however, that in the event of any such expiration or termination, the failure by Company to obtain comparable substitute services from another source acceptable to Bank, shall constitute an Event of Default by Company); or

-30-

(f) By Bank, if there is brought to Bank’s attention

(i) a relationship Company has entered into with a party, or

(ii) a promotion or advertising or other information referring to Company which Company publishes or permits to be published or proposes to publish or permit to be published,

which, though not a relationship or promotion or advertising or information of a kind which under the terms hereof Bank has the right to approve or withdraw its approval of, is such as to cause Bank in good faith to conclude that Bank’s participation in the Merchant Program or its relationship with Company will associate Bank, directly or indirectly, with persons or promotions or advertising or other information of a prurient, hateful, illegal, discriminatory or offensive nature; provided Bank has notified Company of Bank’s concerns and Company is unable or unwilling to immediately terminate any such relationship and any further such publication.

Section 11.6. Survival of Certain Obligations. Expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not terminate the obligations described in this Article XI or in Article X or Article XI hereof, or the provisions of Section 5.3(c) and Section 5.4 hereof, or the obligation to pay Bank or Company amounts due hereunder which arise prior to the termination date; all of which survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Upon any prior notice of termination or upon termination of this Agreement if no prior notice was received, subject to the terms of this Agreement, Company shall use its best efforts to promptly arrange for such a transfer of the Merchant Program to another such and Bank agrees, in connection with such a transfer, to assign (without recourse or cost to Bank) all of Bank’s interest in the Merchant Agreements and

Company shall bear all out of pocket costs of such transactions, including but not limited to any taxes and counsel fees. Bank will provide to Company or its designee all books and records relating to the Merchant Program, provided, however that Bank may keep a copy of such records or, in the event Bank does not choose to keep a copy of such records, Bank may obtain copies of such records from Company upon reasonable request for proper purposes.

Section 4. PROCEDURES FOR CARD TRANSACTIONS.

4.1 Operating Procedures for Card Transactions.

A. Authorization

1. Unless specifically exempted by Operating Rules, Merchant agrees to obtain Authorization for the total amount of the transaction, including the tip and tax, if applicable. Such Authorization must be obtained for every transaction on the transaction date and prior to completing the transaction, unless otherwise specified in the Operating Rules.

2. If a Merchant completes a Charge without Authorization, Merchant will be responsible for any Chargeback of the Charge and this Agreement shall be subject to immediate termination without notice. Obtaining Authorization does not assure that the person using the Card is the Cardholder and will not prevent a Chargeback to Merchant for any of a variety of reasons under the Operating Rules, including use of the Card by an unauthorized user or a Cardholder claim or defense relating to the Charge.

methods, as applicable. Merchant will complete each sale as a single Charge, except as alternative methods are specifically approved by Bank in writing. Merchant will deliver to the Cardholder an accurate and complete copy of the Charge, no later than the time of delivery of the goods or performance of services, using a format approved by the Card Associations and supplied by Bank. Merchant must provide on the Cardholder’s copy of the Charge the truncated Card account number of the Cardholder.

C. Refunds: Adjustments; Credit Vouchers.

1. Merchant Policy. Merchant may limit returned merchandise or limit price adjustments, to the same extent as for sales not involving a Card, provided Merchant properly discloses its policy to the Cardholder before the sale, the limits are noted on the Charge Record before the Cardholder signs it, and the purchased goods or services are delivered to the Cardholder at the time the Charge takes place. Merchant will submit any changes to its return policy to Bank in writing at least thirty (30) days before the change and will not implement any change to which Bank reasonably objects. Merchant’s policies will not override the Operating Rules and will not prevent Chargebacks to Merchant under those rules.

2. Credit Vouchers. Merchant will not make a refund or adjustment for a Charge in cash (except when required by law), but will deliver to Bank a Credit Voucher for a refund or adjustment to the Cardholder Account within three (3) days of the refund or adjustment and deliver to the Cardholder a copy of the Credit Voucher at the time the refund or adjustment is made. Merchant will include the refund date and amount and a brief description of the refund or adjustment on the Credit Voucher in sufficient detail to identify the Card used and original Charge. The amount of the Credit Voucher must not exceed the amount of the original Charge except for any amount which Merchant agrees to reimburse the Cardholder for return postage. Merchant may not deliver a Credit Voucher to Bank for any refund or adjustment of a purchase not originating as a Charge with the same Cardholder requesting the refund or adjustment, a Charge not made with Merchant, or a Charge not originally

processed by Bank. Merchant will not complete a Credit Voucher for a card issued to it or its employees except for a valid refund of a Charge originating with Merchant. Merchant may not receive money from a Cardholder and subsequently deliver to Bank a Credit Voucher to make a deposit to the account of the Cardholder. Bank may delay processing Credit Vouchers on any day to the extent they exceed the total of valid Charges presented on that day and the balance in the Settlement Account available to cover the Credit Vouchers, until the sum of valid Charges and the balance in the Settlement Account is sufficient to cover the Credit Vouchers

3. Credit Vouchers After Agreement Termination. After this Agreement terminates, Bank is not obligated to process any Credit Vouchers that Merchant submits. All Chargebacks related to Credit Voucher disputes will be Merchant’s responsibility. If Merchant enters into a new card processing service agreement with a new processor and provides Bank the name and address of Merchant’s new processor, Bank will work with the new processor at Merchant’s expense to reasonably resolve disputes.

D. Submission of Valid Charges. Merchant will submit to Bank a Charge only if the Charge is made or approved by the Cardholder who is issued the Card used for the Charge. Merchant will not submit a Charge for processing by Bank until Merchant has performed all its services. Merchant will not submit directly or indirectly: (1) any Card Transaction previously submitted to Bank; (2) any Card Transaction that Merchant knows or should have known to be fraudulent or not authorized by the Cardholder; (3) any Card Transaction that results from a transaction outside of Merchant’s normal course of business, as described on the Application; (4) any Card Transaction that results from a transaction not involving Merchant or not originated as the result of an act between Merchant and a Cardholder; or (5) any Card Transaction containing the account of a Card issued to Merchant or any account numbers issued to Merchant’s business owners, family members and principals for transactions that do not represent a purchase of goods or services from Merchant or a related credit.

E. Payments to Merchant for Valid Charges.

1. Bank will provide provisional credit to Merchant for each valid Charge which Merchant submits to Bank by crediting Merchant’s Settlement Account, provided Bank has received settlement for the valid Charge through the interchange procedures specified by the Card Association applicable to the Card used for the Charge. (Bank does not provide payment for all Card types for which Authorization services are provided). Bank is not obligated to provide provisional credit to Merchant for Charges submitted that are not valid Charges, and may suspend or discontinue any provisional credit in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, including for any reason that would justify termination of this Agreement. Each provisional credit from Bank to Merchant will be subject to adjustment, including revocation, upon Bank’s further review and verification. Provisional credit to Merchant for a Charge disputed by a Cardholder for any reason is not final.

2. Bank may deduct from any payment to Merchant the amount of any Credit Voucher processed for Merchant, any Chargeback to Merchant, any amount to be deposited in the Reserve Account and any Processing Fees and Card Association fines or charges due from Merchant. Merchant must immediately pay Bank the amount by which a Credit Voucher processed on any day exceeds valid Charges submitted on that day. Without limiting Bank’s remedies, Bank may obtain the amount due by deducting it from the Settlement Account, Reserve Account or other accounts of or funds due Merchant.

3. Merchant acknowledges that all payments and credits provided to Merchant are provisional and subject to suspension, to Chargebacks and to adjustments in accordance with this Agreement and the Operating Rules.

4.2. Procedures for On-Line Debit Card Transactions. Merchant must obtain Authorization for each On-line Debit Card Transaction before Merchant can complete the transaction. Merchant will not complete an On-line Debit Card Transaction unless it has been authorized by the Card Issuer by using the POS Equipment (defined in Section 4.04) and following the procedures of the Card Association. Merchant may not complete an On-line Debit Card Transaction without entry of the PIN by

the Cardholder. Merchant will comply with all Operating Rules of the Debit Networks and Bank, as amended from time to time, in connection with each On-line Debt Card Transaction.

4.3 CNP Transactions. The CNP ADDENDUM applies to all Card Transactions wherein neither the Cardholder nor the Card is physically present at the point of sale. CNP Transactions include mail order and telephone order, electronic commerce, and pre-authorized order transactions. A Merchant may only accept CNP Transactions if the Merchant has completed the appropriate areas on the Application and has been authorized by Bank to accept such transactions.

4.4 Equipment; Supplies; Displays.

A. At Merchant’s request, Bank will supply Merchant with POS equipment and/or Software, including electronic terminals, other processing equipment and, for On-line Debit Card Transactions, PIN (Personal Identification Number) pads (collectively “POS Equipment”) that comply with the Operating Rules. Bank will use good faith efforts to program the POS Equipment to operate at Merchant’s location in compliance with the Operating Rules. However, Bank makes no representations or warranties that Bank’s program of the POS Equipment furnished by Bank will operate in compliance with the Operating Rules. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that it is Merchant’s obligation to operate in compliance with the Operating Rules. Merchant may use POS Equipment and/or Software from non-Bank sources, but must ensure that the equipment and Software operates at all times in compliance with applicable law, the Operating Rules, and Bank’s operational and security requirements.

B. All third party software, equipment and services provided or procured by Bank under this Agreement are provided “AS-IS” but Bank will, at Merchant’s expense, use reasonable commercial efforts to assist Merchant in enforcing any warranty offered by the third party supplier of such software, equipment or services.

C. Merchant will use only the forms for Charges and electronic processing formats provided or approved in advance by Bank. Bank may change the forms from time to time, and, upon notification, Merchant will comply with any changes. Merchant will use Charge forms or materials provided by Bank only for Charges which Merchant submits to Bank.

D. Merchant shall display Visa, MasterCard and, if applicable, other Card Association decals, program marks, and advertising and promotional materials in compliance with the Operating Rules. Merchant shall only display Visa and MasterCard approved decals, program marks and advertising and promotional materials for the Card type(s) that Merchant selected under Section 3.02 of this Agreement.

Sections. CHARGEBACKS.

5.1 Bank will charge back to Merchant and Merchant will pay Bank, the amount of each Charge which Merchant or a Merchant Affiliate submits to Bank for processing that is charged back to Bank for any reason through Card Associations’ Operating Rules, or to the extent Bank receives claims regarding the Charges from Cardholders under other provisions of law.

5.2 A Chargeback may occur for any one or more of several reasons under the Operating Rules or through operation of consumer protection laws, such as the Truth in Lending Act and the Fair Credit Billing Act. Chargeback reasons include, without limitation:

A. The Charge Record or any material information it contains as provided by Merchant (such as the Card account number, expiration date of the Card, merchant description, purchase amount, Charge date and Authorization date) is illegible, incomplete, incorrect, or unsigned, or is not transmitted to Bank within the required time limits;

D. Merchant did not obtain Authorization, or did not provide a correct and legible Authorization code on the Charge Record;

E. The Charge Record is a duplicate of another Charge Record, represents one of two or more Charges arising from a single purchase, or the Charge has been submitted to another merchant card processor;

F. The Cardholder disputes participating in or approving the Charge, signing the Charge Record, or the sale, delivery, quality or performance of the purchase; the Cardholder alleges that return of goods or a Credit Voucher was improperly

refused; or the Cardholder alleges that a Credit Voucher issued by Merchant was not processed for the Cardholder Account;

G. The amount on the Charge Record submitted to Bank differs from the amount on the copy required to be delivered to the Cardholder;

H. The Charge was fraudulent or the related purchase was not a bona fide purchase in Merchant’s ordinary course of business, was subject to any claim of illegality, cancellation, avoidance, or offset for any reason, including, without limitation, negligence, fraud or dishonesty on the part of Merchant or Merchant’s agents or employees or was submitted in violation of Section 6 of this Agreement;

Merchant must immediately pay any fines or fees imposed by a Card Association or Bank relating to Chargebacks to Merchant.

5.4 Each Chargeback to Merchant is immediately due and payable by Merchant.

D. Damages for Termination by Merchant.

1. Bank and Merchant acknowledge and agree that in addition to all other remedies available to Bank under this Agreement or as otherwise available in law or equity, if this Agreement is terminated by Merchant prior to the expiration of the applicable Term of the Agreement or for any reason other than for a material, uncured breach by Bank, Merchant agrees to pay Bank damages (the “Damages”) determined by:

14.8 ACH Authorization. Merchant authorizes Bank or its agents to initiate debit and credit entries and adjustments to the Settlement Account or the Reserve Account (described in Section 15 of this Agreement) through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) settlement process for amounts due under this Agreement.

Section 15. RESERVE ACCOUNT.

15.1 Reserve During Term of Agreement.

A. At Bank’s request, and as condition for providing Card Program services, Merchant may be required to deposit, or Bank may deposit by deducting from any payment due to Merchant or from any funds in the Settlement Account or any other deposit account of Merchant, into an account maintained by Bank (or at another approved depository institution) (the “Reserve Account”), initially or at any time in the future as requested by Bank, sums sufficient to satisfy Merchant’s current and/or future obligations as determined by Bank in its sole and absolute discretion.

B. The Reserve Account will be separate from the Settlement Account. Merchant shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Account. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole control of Bank. Any and all earnings from deposits of the Merchant to the Reserve Account shall be the sole property of the Bank.

15.2 Reserve Account Deposits.

A. At any time in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, Bank may (i) designate the minimum balance required to be deposited in the Reserve Account, (ii) require that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account be increased, (iii) require that the Merchant deposit, or Bank may deposit for Merchant into the Reserve Account a percentage of, or a fixed amount from each Charge processed, or (iv) otherwise determine the amount to be deposited in the Reserve Account. Bank at its sole and absolute discretion may require that each month Merchant deposit, or Bank may deposit by deducting from any payment due to Merchant or from any funds in the Settlement Account or any other deposit account of Merchant sums into the Reserve Account no later than the twenty (20) day of the month. Bank shall notify the Merchant as to the amount of the funds to be deposited each month.

B. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that the Reserve Account may contain both funds deposited by the Merchant and funds of other merchants of the Bank.

15.3 Deductions from Reserve Account. If funds are not available in the Settlement Account, Bank without prior notice to Merchant may deduct from the Reserve Account any obligation of Merchant to Bank under this Agreement, including all Processing Fees, Chargebacks, Credit Vouchers, Damages, and any and all additional fees, fines, penalty amounts and charges due the Card Associations.

15.4 Replenishment of Reserve Account Deficiencies. Whenever the balance in the Reserve Account is less than the minimum balance required, or is otherwise deficient, Bank may, without prior notice, deposit the deficiency into the Reserve Account by reducing any payment to Merchant required by this Agreement or deduct the deficiency from the Settlement Account or any other deposit account of Merchant with another depository institution (including accounts of general partners if Merchant is a partnership) and deposit it into the

Reserve Account. Merchant authorizes deductions from its accounts by Automated Clearing House (ACH) entry, sight draft, preauthorized check, reverse wire, or otherwise as Bank deems appropriate under the circumstances. In addition, Merchant will deposit any deficiency into the Reserve Account within one (1) business day after receiving Bank’s oral or written request. Without limiting Bank’s remedies, Merchant’s failure to deposit any deficiency on time will permit Bank, without advance notice, to suspend or cease processing additional Charges and Credit Vouchers. Bank will give Merchant written notice of any suspension or cessation of processing.

15.5 Additions to Reserve Account. If Bank has reason to believe that Merchant may be liable to customers or to Bank for Chargebacks exceeding the balance in the Reserve Account, Bank may: (A) immediately place in the Reserve Account payments due to Merchant and/or stop processing transactions for Merchant until such time as the extent of Merchant’s obligations to Bank, or Merchant’s liability for Chargebacks, or Merchant’s liability to customers are known, and Bank no longer deems itself insecure, and/or (B) demand from Merchant an amount that in Bank’s judgment is needed to ensure payment of Merchant’s obligations and liabilities. Merchant’s failure to pay any amount will permit Bank to terminate this Agreement immediately without advance notice.

15.6 Reserve Account After Agreement Terminates. Bank may continue to hold or deposit funds in the Reserve Account after termination of this Agreement, regardless of whether termination is by Merchant or Bank. Upon termination of the Agreement by Merchant or Bank, Bank may retain sufficient funds to satisfy any and all Processing Fees, Chargebacks, Credit Vouchers, Damages, and any and all additional fees, fines, penalty amounts and charges due the Card Associations. If no funds have been deposited into the Reserve Account before termination, Bank, at Bank’s option, may notify Merchant to deposit funds into the Reserve Account upon termination of this Agreement. All provisions which apply to a pre-termination Reserve Account will apply after termination, including replenishment of deficiencies. The funds will be held by Bank or its designated agent for a period of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the last Card Transaction processed under the Agreement, plus the period of any warranty or guarantee on goods and/or services sold. Bank will return the balance in the Reserve Account to Merchant after Bank reasonably determines that the risk of Chargebacks and other Processing Fees has ended

and after deducting all amounts that Merchant owes to Bank under this Agreement or any other agreement.

Section 16. SECURITY INTEREST.

16.1 Merchant’s Grant of Security Interest.

A. To secure Merchant’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and any other agreement with Bank, Merchant grants Bank a security interest in each Charge and its proceeds, the Settlement Account, the Reserve Account and any other deposit account of Merchant with a financial institution, whether now existing or established in the future, and in the proceeds of all those accounts, any funds due Merchant from Bank and any of Merchant’s property held by Bank. Bank may enforce these security interests without notice or demand.

B. Furthermore, and with respect to any security interests granted herein, Bank will have all rights afforded under the Uniform Commercial Code, as the same may, from time to time, be in effect in the State of Colorado; provided, however, in the event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the attachment, perfection or priority of the security interests granted herein is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado, then Bank will have all rights afforded under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions relating to such attachment, perfection or priority of the security interests, as well as any other applicable law.

16.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Upon request of Bank, Merchant will execute one or more financing statements or other documents to evidence the security interests granted to Bank under this Section 16. Merchant shall cooperate with Bank in obtaining any control agreement or similar agreement with a depository bank necessary to perfect the security interests granted herein. In addition, Merchant agrees that its signature on the Application will be considered Merchant’s signature agreeing to any control agreement as defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code among Merchant, Bank and any other financial institution under which Bank, Merchant and any other financial institution agree to the disposition of funds in the Settlement Account,

the Reserve Account or any other deposit account without further consent by Merchant.

In such cases, the Bank shall make reasonable efforts including, but not limited to, written correspondence, notification on statements, website notification, email, fax and direct contact via the telephone or otherwise, to provide reasonable notification to Merchant. However, failure to provide advance notice of the increase in Processing Fees will not affect Merchant’s obligation to pay the increased Processing Fees. The increase(s) in Processing Fees shall be effective on the date specified by Bank.

18.3 Processing Fees and other service charges owed by Merchant to Bank may be deducted by Bank from amounts due Merchant, or from the Settlement Account or from the Reserve Account. Merchant will pay the amounts due by the next day if sufficient funds are not available in the Settlement Account.

Sales Transactions

4.1

Honor All Bank Cards. You shall honor all valid and unexpired Bank Cards when properly presented as payment from a Cardholder for a Sales Transaction, provided that the requirements of this Section 4 are satisfied. You shall maintain a policy that does not discriminate among customers seeking to make purchases through use of a Bank Card. If you do not deal with the public at large, you shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 4.1 if you honor Bank Cards of Cardholders who have purchasing privileges with you. In all events you shall not:

establish, or post any signs that indicate that you require, any minimum or maximum amount of purchase as a condition to honoring a Bank Card; directly or indirectly impose any surcharge on any Sales Transaction: collect any applicable tax separately in cash or require a Cardholder to provide any personal information such as a home or business telephone number or home or business address, or additional identification such as a driver’s license as a condition to honoring a Bank Card, unless such information is required under Section 4 or Section 6 of these Additional Terms and Conditions or other specific circumstances cited in the Operating Rules.

4.2	Conditions of a Sales Transaction. You shall not complete any Sales Transaction unless all of the following conditions are met:

Except in the case of a mail or telephone order, a Bank Card is presented;

The Sales Transaction date is on or after the “valid from” date and before the expiration date shown on the Bank Card;

If you are using an EDC Terminal that reads the magnetic stripe on the Bank Card, the embossed account number on the Bank Card matches the account number displayed and/or printed from the EDC Terminal;

If the Bank Card contains optional security features, the embossed account number on the face of the Bank Card matches the account number indent printed on the signature panel; and

includes without limitation each of the following circumstances;

The Sales Transaction is completed in partial payment of a single purchase;

You will make a delayed presentment of the Sales Draft, which shall be made in accordance with Section 4.10(b) of these Additional Terms and Conditions; or

If you fail to obtain Authorization for any Sales Transaction, you shall in all events be responsible for such Sales Transaction, and the Discount Rate otherwise applicable thereto shall be increased by 1.5 percentage points. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.10(a) of these Additional Terms and Conditions, you shall request Authorization for the total amount of the Sales Transaction. If an expired Bank Card is presented and you are not an EDC Merchant, you must contact the Authorization Center by telephone. If the Authorization Center grants Authorization, you shall type or legibly print the Authorization approval code on the Sales Draft.

If the gratuity exceeds 20 percent of the Sales Transactions amount, you must obtain Authorization for the additional amount. You shall type or legibly print both approval codes on this Sales Draft.

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined in the Agreement or this Exhibit, capitalized terms shall have the meanings provided in the ACH Rules. The term “Entries” shall have the meaning provided in the ACH Rules and shall also mean the data received from Company hereunder from which Bank prepares Entries.

2. Transmittal of Entries By Company. Company (i) as a Third Party Sender, shall transmit on behalf of Merchants and (ii) as Originator, shall transmit on its own behalf in connection with the Merchant Program, Credit Entries and Debit Entries (solely of the types specified in Schedule E to this Exhibit) to Bank’s processing agent as designated by Synovus Financial Corp., ACH Operations Department, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇. Such transmission shall be in compliance with the formatting and other requirements of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”) set forth in Schedule A attached to this Exhibit. The total dollar amount of Credit Entries transmitted by Company to Bank on any one day shall not exceed $250 million, and the total dollar amount of Debit Entries transmitted by Company to Bank on any one day shall not exceed $100 million.

3. Security Procedure. Company and Bank shall comply with the security procedure requirements described in Schedule B attached to this Exhibit with respect to Entries transmitted by Company to Bank.

4. Processing. Transmittal and Settlement by Bank.

(a) Except as provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Exhibit, Bank shall (i) process Entries received from Company to conform with the file specifications set forth in the ACH Rules, (ii) transmit such Entries as an Originating Depository Financial Institution to a Federal Reserve Bank, acting as an Automated Clearing House Operator (the “ACH Operator”), and (iii) settle for such Entries as provided in the ACH Rules, using the designated Merchant Settlement Account for that purpose.

(b) Bank shall transmit such Entries to the ACH Operator by the deadline of the ACH Operator at least one business day prior to the Effective Entry Date shown in such Entries, provided (i) such Entries are received by Bank’s related cut-off time set forth in Schedule C to this Exhibit on a business day, (ii) the Effective Entry Date is at least one business day after such business day, and (iii) the ACH Operator is open for business on such business day. For purposes of this Exhibit, (x) a “business day” is a day on which Bank is open to the public for carrying on substantially all of its business other than a Saturday or Sunday, and (y) Entries shall be deemed received by Bank, in the case of transmittal by tape, when received by Bank’s agent as provided in Section 2 above, and in the case of electronic transmission, when the transmission (and compliance with any related security procedure provided for herein) is complete and concluded.

(c) If any of the requirements of clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of Section 4(b) is not met, Bank shall use reasonable efforts to transmit such Entries to the ACH Operator by the next deposit deadline of the ACH Operator following that specified in Schedule C to this Exhibit which is a business day and a day on which the ACH Operator is open for business.

5. On-Us Entries. Except as provided in Section 6, in the case of an Entry received for credit or debit to an account maintained with Bank (an “On-Us Entry”), Bank shall credit or debit the Receiver’s account in the amount of such Entry on the Effective Entry Date contained in such Entry, provided the requirements set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 4(b) are met. If either of those requirements is not met, Bank shall use reasonable efforts to credit the Receiver’s account in the amount of such Entry on the next business day following such Effective Entry Date.

6. Rejection of Entries. Bank shall have the right to reject any Entry which does not comply with the requirements of Sections 2 or 3 of this Exhibit. Bank shall have the right to reject an On-Us Entry for any reason for which an Entry may be returned under the ACH Rules. Bank shall have the right to reject any Entry if Company has failed to comply with any prefunding requirement imposed under Section 10 of this Exhibit or with its account balance obligations under Section 11 of this Exhibit. Bank shall notify Company by telephone or electronic transmission of such rejection no later than the business day such Entry would otherwise have been transmitted by Bank to the ACH Operator or, in the case of an On-Us entry, its Effective Entry Date. Bank shall have no liability to Company by reason of the rejection of any such Entry or the fact that such notice is not given at an earlier time than that provided for herein.

7. Company’s Obligations Regarding Prenotification Transactions.

(a) Under Section 2.3 of the ACH Rules, Company, at its option, may send a prenotification prior to the initiation of the first entry to a Receiver or a Receiver’s account with an RDFI, and Company acknowledges that it is responsible for Entries which are misrouted to incorrect accounts as a result of Company having chosen not to send a prenotification.

(b) Company acknowledges that if a prenotification is returned by the ACH Operator, then the RDFI has never received the prenotification and Company must make necessary corrections prior to transmitting any additional Entries. If an RDFI returns a prenotification, then Company shall not initiate any Entries to the particular Receiver’s account without making corrections necessitated by the Return Entry, and if the prenotification results in

the receipt by Bank of a Notification of Change (“NOC”), Company shall initiate no additional entries to the account of the particular Receiver until the requested changes contained in the NOC have been made by Company.

8. Cancellation Or Amendment By Company. Company shall have no right to the cancellation or amendment of any Entry after its receipt by Bank. However, Bank shall use reasonable efforts to act on a request by Company for cancellation of an Entry prior to transmitting it to the ACH Operator or, in the case of an On-Us Entry, prior to crediting or debiting a Receiver’s account, provided such request complies with the security procedures set forth in Schedule B to this Exhibit for cancellation of Data, but Bank shall have no liability if such cancellation is not effected.

9. Notice Of Returned Entries. Bank shall notify Company by electronic transmission of the receipt of a returned entry from the ACH Operator no later than one business day after the business date of such receipt. Except for an Entry retransmitted by Company in accordance with the requirements of Section 2, Bank shall have no obligation to retransmit a returned Entry with respect to the original Entry.

10. Payment. Company shall pay Bank the amount of each Entry transmitted by Bank pursuant to this Exhibit at such time on the Settlement Date with respect to such Entry as Bank, in its discretion, may determine, and the amount of each On-Us Entry at such time on the Effective Entry Date of such Entry as Bank, in its discretion, may determine; Provided, however, that Bank may require Company to prefund any Entry by paying the full amount thereof to Bank at the time such Entry is requested or initiated by Company if Bank, in its discretion reasonably exercised in light of existing circumstances, shall deem it risky or imprudent to await payment on any later date.

11. The Company Account.

(a) Bank may, without prior notice or demand, obtain payment of any amount due and payable to it under this Exhibit by deducting such amount from the designated Merchant Settlement Account as provided in Section 5.1 of the Agreement, or by debiting the Company Account, and shall credit the Company Account for any amount (less deductions Bank is entitled to make from the designated Merchant Settlement Account before transferring funds therefrom to the Company Account, as provided in Section 5.1 of the Agreement) received by Bank by reason of the return of an Entry transmitted by Bank for which Bank has previously received payment from Company.

(b) Company shall at all times maintain a balance of available funds in the Company Account sufficient to cover its payment obligations under this Exhibit.

(c) In the event there are not sufficient available funds in the Company Account to cover Company’s obligations under this Exhibit, Company agrees that Bank may debit the Company Reserve Account or any other account maintained by Company with Bank or any affiliate of Bank or that Bank may exercise its right of set off against any amount it owes to Company, in order to obtain payment of Company’s obligations under this Exhibit.

(d) Company acknowledges that Bank has the right to establish criteria concerning Entries initiated by Company and to monitor compliance with such criteria, to include matters such as permissible return rates. Initially, daily return rates on Unauthorized Returns (“Unauthorized Returns” are defined as reason codes: R10 and R29) for TEL Entries shall be limited to 2.5% of daily TEL Entry volumes, and daily return rates on Unauthorized Returns for all other types of Entries shall be limited to 2.0% of daily volumes of all other types of Entries. Bank shall provide Company with sixty (60) days prior notice of any change in the

criteria, unless such change is required to be implemented in a shorter time frame under the ACH Rules. Company agrees that should Bank’s criteria not be met, Bank shall be authorized to hold the amounts related to any suspicious Entries. In addition, the Bank shall have the right to cease further processing of Entries initiated by Company until such criteria are met and Company is fully in compliance with the provisions of this Exhibit, the ACH Rules and Applicable Laws.

12. Account Reconciliation. Entries transmitted by Bank or credited or debited to a Receiver’s account maintained with Bank will be reflected on Company’s periodic statement issued by Bank with respect to the Company Account. Company agrees to notify Bank promptly of any discrepancy between Company’s records and the information shown on any such periodic statement. If Company fails to notify Bank of any such discrepancy within forty five (45) days of receipt of a periodic statement containing such information, Company agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any other losses resulting from Company’s failure to give such notice or any loss of interest with respect to an Entry shown on such periodic statement. If Company fails to notify Bank of any such discrepancy within forty five (45) days of receipt of such periodic statement, Company shall be precluded from asserting such discrepancy against Bank.

13. Company Representations and Agreements; Indemnity.

(a) Company represents to Bank and agrees that (i) each person shown as the Receiver on an Entry received by Bank from Company has authorized the initiation of such Entry and the crediting or debiting of its account in the amount and on the Effective Entry Date shown on such Entry, (ii) such authorization is operative at the time of transmittal, crediting or debiting by Bank as provided herein, (iii) Entries transmitted to Bank by Company are limited to the types of Credit Entries and Debit Entries set forth in Schedule E to this Exhibit, (iv) Company shall perform its obligations under this Exhibit in accordance with all Applicable

Laws, (v) Company shall have each Merchant enter into an agreement with Company, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank and consistent with this Exhibit, under which the Merchant assumes the responsibilities of an Originator under the ACH Rules and an acknowledgment by the Merchant that Entries may not be initiated that violate the laws of the United States, and (vi) Company shall be bound by and comply with the ACH Rules as in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, the provision thereof making payment of an Entry by the RDFI to the Receiver provisional until receipt by the RDFI of final settlement for such Entry; and specifically acknowledges that it has received notice of that ACH Rule and of the fact that, if such settlement is not received, the RDFI shall be entitled to a refund from the Receiver of the amount credited and Company shall not be deemed to have paid the Receiver the amount of the Entry.

(b) Without limiting its obligations under other provisions of the Agreement, Company agrees that, as between Bank and Company, except for matters which are subject to indemnification by Bank under this Agreement, Company is solely responsible for all credit and fraud losses on Credit Entries and Debit Entries, whether for Merchants or for Company, and Company shall immediately upon notification by Bank reimburse Bank for the full amount of all such credit and fraud losses. Company also agrees that in the event any fine, penalty or other liability (collectively “Fines”) shall be imposed or assessed by NACHA against Bank as a result of the violation of any of the ACH Rules, should such violation result from any action or inaction on the part of Company (or any Merchant) or any violation by Company (or any Merchant) of any provision of this Exhibit or of any provision of the ACH Rules, then Company shall immediately upon notification by Bank reimburse Bank for the full amount of all such Fines. Should Company fail immediately to reimburse Bank for the full amount of such credit and fraud

losses or such Fines, Bank, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have under the Agreement, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to deduct such credit and fraud losses and Fines from the designated Merchant Settlement Account, and/or to debit the Company Account or the Company Reserve Account or any other account maintained by Company with Bank or any affiliate of Bank for such credit and fraud losses and Fines.

14. Compliance With Security Procedure.

(a) If an Entry (or a request for cancellation of an Entry) received by Bank purports to have been transmitted or authorized by Company, it will be deemed effective as Company’s Entry (or request) and Company shall be obligated to pay Bank the amount of such Entry as provided herein even though the Entry (or request) was not authorized by Company, provided Bank acted in compliance with the security procedure referred to in Schedule B to this Exhibit with respect to such entry. If signature comparison is to be used as a part of that security procedure, Bank shall be deemed to have complied with that part of such procedure if it compares the signature accompanying a file of Entries (or request for cancellation of an Entry) received with the signature of an authorized representative of Company as set forth in Schedule D to this Exhibit (an “Authorized Representative”) and, on the basis of such comparison, believes the signature accompanying such file to be that of such authorized representative.

(b) If an Entry (or request for cancellation of an Entry) received by Bank was transmitted or authorized by Company, Company shall be obligated to pay the amount of the Entry as provided herein, whether or not Bank complied with the security procedure referred to in Schedule B to this Exhibit with respect to that Entry and whether or not that Entry was erroneous in any respect or that error would have been detected if Bank had complied with such procedure.

15. Inconsistency Of Name and Account Number. Company acknowledges and agrees that, if an Entry describes the Receiver inconsistently by name and account number, credit or debit of the Entry transmitted by Bank to the Receiving Depository Financial Institution might be made by the Receiving Depository Financial Institution (or by Bank in the case of an On-Us Entry) on the basis of the account number even if it identifies a person different from the named Receiver, and that Company’s obligation to pay the amount of the Entry to Bank is not excused in such circumstances.

16. Notification Of Changes: Responsibility of Company Regarding Refused Notifications of Changes. Bank shall notify Company of all NOCs received by Bank related to Entries transmitted by Company by mail or electronic transmission no later than one business day after receipt thereof by Bank. If Company desires to refuse an NOC, then Company must provide to Bank the reason for the refusal of the NOC, along with the applicable Reason Code as specified in the ACH Rules in order for Bank to notify the RDFI that the NOC has been refused. Company agrees to familiarize itself with all the provisions of the ACH Rules regarding Refused NOCs and to comply fully therewith.

17. Payment for Services. Company shall pay Bank the charges for the services provided for herein set forth in Exhibit B to the Agreement.

18. Special Provisions Governing Internet-Initiated Entries. The following additional provisions, supplemental to the remaining portion of this Exhibit, shall apply with regard to Debit Entries to consumer accounts initiated by Merchants pursuant to authorization obtained from the consumer by the Merchant via the Internet. These Entries are identified by the Standard Entry Class Code “WEB.”

(a) Company agrees to comply, and shall cause each Merchant to comply, with all of the ACH Rules pertaining to WEB Entries. Company warrants and represents that no WEB Entries shall be initiated by a Merchant without prior authorization thereof by the consumer/Receiver.

(b) Company warrants and represents that each transaction involving a WEB Entry will be handled in a commercially reasonable manner, including the utilization by Company and the Merchant of commercially reasonable fraudulent transaction detection systems, security technology to establish a secure Internet session and procedures to verify the validity of the RDFFs routing number. Such system utilized by Company and the Merchant shall be of a quality technologically equal to or exceeding the systems utilized by similarly situated Originators conducting similar types of transactions. In connection therewith, Company and Merchant shall authenticate the consumer/Receiver, deploy a secured Internet session using an encryption which is commercially reasonable and conduct a security audit to insure that the consumer’s/Receiver’s data is stored in a secured manner.

(c) Company shall fully comply, and shall cause each Merchant to fully comply, with all of the ACH Rules pertaining to audits of the security of Company’s and such Merchant’s website, to include an annual (or more frequent) audit to insure that the financial information of a consumer/Receiver is protected by security practices insuring adequate levels of physical security, personnel and access controls to protect against unauthorized access and use, and network security to insure secure capture, storage and distribution of financial information. With regard to said audits, Company, at a minimum, shall audit the components of website security as outlined in the ACH Rules and the section of the NACHA Guide regarding the implementation of the ACH Rules and Operating Guidelines. Company shall provide to Bank a

written verification of Company’s annual security audit detailing the procedures utilized by Company and each Merchant. Bank may decline to transmit any WEB Entries should Company fail to conduct such annual security audit or fail to provide verification thereof acceptable to Bank or should Company otherwise fail to comply with any provision hereof regarding the transmitting of WEB Entries.

(d) Transaction Limit for Company: With regard to WEB Entries initiated by Merchants, Company shall have an aggregate transaction limit of $10 million of WEB Entries per day. Said daily transaction limit shall be subject to periodic review and modification by Bank, any such modification to be effective upon receipt of notice thereof by Company from Bank or at such later date as Bank may specify in any such notice to Company.

19. Special Provisions Governing Telephone Initiated Entries. The following additional provisions, supplemental to the remaining portion of this Exhibit, shall apply with regard to single Debit Entries to consumer accounts initiated by Merchants pursuant to an authorization obtained from the consumer by the Merchant orally via the telephone. These Entries are identified by the Standard Entry Class Code “TEL.”

(a) Company agrees to comply, and shall cause each Merchant to comply, with all of the ACH Rules pertaining to TEL Entries. Company warrants and represents that no TEL Entries shall be initiated by a Merchant without prior authorization thereof by the consumer/Receiver.

(b) Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) under the ACH Rules, a TEL Entry is a single debit entry authorized by the consumer orally via telephone for the payment of goods or services; (ii) Merchants may not utilize the TEL Code to transmit credit entries to the consumer’s account, with the exception of reversals; (iii) a TEL Entry may only be transmitted

either when there is an existing relationship between the Merchant and the consumer/Receiver or when there is not such an existing relationship, in circumstances in which the consumer has initiated the telephone call to the Merchant. Under the ACH Rules, an existing relationship between a Merchant and the consumer exists only when there is a written existing agreement in effect between the Merchant and consumer for the provision of goods or services by the Merchant to the consumer or when the consumer has purchased either goods or services from the Merchant within the two-year period immediately preceding a TEL Entry. Company acknowledges that if there is no existing relationship between a Merchant and the consumer, if the Merchant initiates a telephone call to the consumer, a TEL Entry may not be used. Company also acknowledges that if a Merchant intends to provide written notice to the consumer confirming the oral authorization, then during the telephone call with the consumer, the Merchant must disclose to the consumer the method by which such written notice will be provided, which method cannot utilize an email communication. Furthermore, an oral authorization as envisioned by the ACH Rules does not include key-entry responses by the consumer to input data or to respond to questions. Company further acknowledges and agrees that since TEL Entries are single entry debits, a Merchant must obtain a separate oral authorization from the consumer for each debit entry made to that consumer’s account.

(c) Company further acknowledges and agrees that under the ACH Rules, during the telephone call during which the authorization of the consumer is received by a Merchant, at a minimum, the following specific information must be disclosed to the consumer: (i) the date on or after which the debit will be made to the consumer’s account; (ii) the amount of the debit entry to the consumer’s account; (iii) the consumer’s name; (iv) a telephone number which the consumer may call to make inquiries during normal business hours; (v) the date of the

oral authorization given by the consumer; and (vi) a statement by the Merchant that the oral authorization obtained from the consumer/Receiver is for a single ACH debit Entry to the consumer’s account. Company further acknowledges and agrees that a Merchant is required under the ACH Rules either to (i) tape record the oral authorization by the consumer, or (ii) provide the consumer with a written notice confirming the oral authorization, said notice to be provided prior to the Settlement Date of the debit entry. Company shall be responsible for assuring that no Merchant initiates any TEL Entries under this Agreement unless the Merchant has fully complied with the above and foregoing requirements and all other provisions of the Rule applicable to TEL Entries.

(d) Company warrants and represents that in connection with TEL Entries initiated by a Merchant, the Merchant shall utilize commercially-reasonable procedures to verify the consumer’s name, address, telephone number and identity, as well as commercially-reasonable procedures to verify that routing numbers are valid. Company shall provide to Bank a written description of the procedures so utilized by the Merchant.

(e) Transaction Limit for Company; With regard to TEL Entries initiated by Merchants, Company shall have an aggregate transaction limit of $40 million of TEL Entries per day. Said daily transaction limit shall be subject to periodic review and modification by Bank, any such modification to be effective upon receipt of notice thereof by Company from Bank or at such later date as Bank may specify in any such notice to Company.

20. Special Provisions Governing Point of Purchase Entries. The following additional provisions, supplemental to the remaining portion of this Exhibit, shall apply with regard to single Debit Entries to consumer accounts initiated by Merchants pursuant to an authorization obtained from the consumer by the Merchant at the point of purchase. These Entries are identified by the Standard Entry Class Code “POP.”

(a) Only a check or share draft that contains a preprinted serial number and is drawn on a consumer’s account may be used as a source document for obtaining the routing number, account number, and check serial number for the consumer’s account. The source document provided to the Merchant must be:

(1) returned voided to the consumer after use by the Merchant, and

(2) not have been provided by the consumer for use in any prior POP Entry.

(b) The following items may not be converted to a POP Entry;

(1) checks drawn on corporate or business deposit accounts;

(2) third-party checks;

(3) credit card checks;

(4) obligations of a financial institution (e.g. traveler’s checks, cashier’s checks, official checks, money orders, etc.);

(5) checks drawn on the Treasury of the United States, a Federal Reserve Bank, or a Federal Home Loan Bank;

(6) checks drawn on a state or local government;

(7) checks payable in a medium other than United States currency; or

(8) previously voided checks or share drafts that have been used by the consumer for a prior POP Entry.

(c) The Merchant may not key-enter the routing number, account number, or check serial number from the consumer’s source document. The source document must be scanned by a reader which is capable of reading the MICR line of the source document.

(d) The Merchant must provide the consumer with a receipt containing the following information with respect to each POP Entry:

(1) the Merchant’s name;

(2) the telephone number of the Merchant or its third party service provider;

(3) the date of transaction;

(4) the transaction amount;

(5) the source document check serial number;

(6) the Merchant number (or other unique number that identifies the location of the transaction); and

(7) the city and state where the transaction occurred.

(e) Transaction Limit for Company: With regard to POP Entries initiated by Merchants, Company shall have an aggregate transaction limit of $7 million of POP Entries per day. Said daily transaction limit shall be subject to periodic review and modification by Bank, any such modification to be effective upon receipt of notice thereof by Company from Bank or at such later date as Bank may specify in any such notice to Company.

21. Special Provisions Governing Re-presented Check Entries. The following additional provisions, supplemental to the remaining portion of this Exhibit, shall apply with regard to single Debit Entries to consumer accounts initiated by Merchants pursuant to the ACH Rules for re-presented checks. These Entries are identified by the Standard Entry Class Code “RCK.”

(a) Prior to the origination of each RCK Entry, the Merchant must provide the customer with a notice that clearly and conspicuously states the terms of the RCK Entry policy.

(b) An RCK Entry must relate to an item that:

(1) is an item within the meaning of Article 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code;

(2) is a negotiable demand draft drawn on or payable through or at a financial institution which is a participant in the ACH system, other than a Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank;

(3) contains a pre-printed serial number;

(4) is in an amount less than $2,500;

(5) indicates on the face of the document that the item was returned due to “Not Sufficient Funds,” “NSF,” “Uncollected Funds,” or comparable language;

(6) is dated 180 days or less from the date the entry is being transmitted to the bank on which the item is drawn (i.e., the item to which the RCK Entry relates is not stale dated);

(7) is drawn on a consumer account; and

(8) has been previously presented (i) no more than two times in its physical form, if the entry is an initial RCK Entry; or (ii) no more than one time in its physical form and no more than one time as an RCK Entry, if the entry is a reinitiated RCK Entry.

(1) noncash items;

(2) drafts drawn on the Treasury of the United States, a Federal Reserve Bank, or a Federal Home Loan Bank;

(3) drafts drawn on a state or local government that are not payable through or at a financial institution which is a member of the ACH system;

(4) United States Postal Service money orders;

(5) items payable in a medium other than United States currency;

(6) items which are third-party items; and

(7) demand drafts and third-party drafts that do not contain the signature of the consumer.

(d) An Entry that has been returned may not be reinitiated unless:

(1) the RCK Entry has been returned for insufficient or uncollected funds; and

(2) the item to which the RCK Entry relates has been presented no more than one time in its physical form and no more than one time as an RCK Entry.

(e) With respect to an RCK Entry, a restrictive endorsement made by the Merchant or its agent on the item to which the RCK Entry relates is void.

(f) Transaction Limit for Company: With regard to RCK Entries initiated by Merchants, Company shall have an aggregate transaction limit of $1 million of RCK Entries per day. Said daily transaction limit shall be subject to periodic review and modification by Bank, any such modification to he effective upon receipt of notice thereof by Company from Bank or at such later date as Bank may specify in any such notice to Company.

22. Compliance with ACH Rules and Regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Company acknowledges and that the ACH is subject to the statutory provisions

pertaining to, and the rules and regulations issued by, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), such statutory provisions, rules and regulations being collectively hereinafter referred to as the “OFAC ACH Rules.” Company acknowledges that it has access to the OF AC ACH Rules and will comply, and will cause the Merchants to comply, with all provisions thereof. In that regard, Company warrants and represents that neither a Merchant nor any Receiver from whom authorization has been obtained by a Merchant to initiate an Entry is on the list issued by OFAC known as the Specifically Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (“SDN List”). The United States Department of Treasury (“DOT”) periodically updates the SDN List. Said updates may be obtained by accessing the DOT website at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇. It is the sole responsibility of Company to obtain the most recent updates to the SDN List and to assure that any Receiver from whom authorization has been obtained by a Merchant to initiate an Entry is not on the SDN List. As between Company and Bank, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Company shall be fully liable for all violations by Company or Merchants of the OFAC ACH Rules, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company shall immediately reimburse Bank for the amount of any liability of any nature whatsoever imposed upon Bank by OFAC or under the OFAC ACH Rules resulting from either a Merchant or any Receiver authorizing a Merchant to initiate an Entry being on the SDN List.

Under the new provisions of said amendments, Company is a “Third-Party Sender.” Notwithstanding the fact that said amendments are not yet effective, Company agrees that all of the warranties and indemnifications of Third-Party Senders as set forth in said amendments to the ACH Rules shall apply to and be binding upon Company in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of Bank as the ODFI. The parties agree to amend this Exhibit to the extent necessary to be consistent with the said amendments of the ACH Rules or to amend the Agreement adopting a new Exhibit more fully incorporating the provisions of such amendments to the ACH Rules prior to the effective date of such amendments.

EXHIBIT 5.3 (A)

COMPANY RESERVE

This Exhibit 5.3(A) describes the operation of the Company Reserve Account.

Business Covered by Company Reserve Account

It is agreed that Bank will provide the services described in this Agreement for the Company’s business divisions (the “Divisions”) as listed below. In addition, the approximate annual Bankcard sales volumes for each division are shown in the parentheses next to each Division. The Division’s are known as:

Agent Bank Division ($6.7 billion),

Health Services Division ($1.0 billion),

ePay Division ($1.5 billion),

PRI Division ($1.6 billion), and

ISO Division ($1.4 billion) (Note that this does not include any of the recently acquired Fifth Third Business).

Initial Amount of Company Reserve Account

The actual initial amount and any subsequent calculation of the Company Reserve Account will be calculated by applying the following percentages to the annual Bankcard sales volume realized by Company. The annual Bankcard sales volume will be measured based on what is actually realized by Company over the preceding 12 months. It is further agreed that this calculation (the “Reserve Adjustment Procedure”), will be performed no more than annually at each anniversary of this agreement. The percentages to be applied are as follow:

•

Agent Bank Division – .0065%

•

Health Services - .0065%

•

ePay Division – .035%

•

PRI Division – .008%

•

ISO Division – .008%

As an example, based on the gross processing volume and the above percentages, the application of the Reserve Adjustment Procedure would result in a calculation of the Company Reserve Account of $1,292,500.

Company Reserve Account Calculation Example


Division	Gross Processing Volume		Percentage			Reserve Amount
Agent Bank	$	6,700,000,000		0.0065	%	$	435,500
Health Services		1,000,000,000		0.0065	%		65,000
ISO		1,400,000,000		0.0080	%		112,000
PRI		1,500,000,000		0.0080	%		120,000
ePay		1,600,000,000		0.0350	%		560,000

Calculated Company Reserve Account						$	1,292,500

Changes to the Company Reserve Account

The amount required as a deposit into the Company Reserve Account may change for any one of the following reasons:

Annually, beginning at the first anniversary of the agreement, Bank and Company will review the annual Bankcard sales volume of the previous 12 months to determine, according to the Reserve Adjustment Procedure, if an increase or decrease to the Company Reserve Account is required to be made by Company. Any difference between the then amount of the Company Reserve Account and the amount determined by the Reserve Adjustment Procedure will result in Company increasing amounts funded into or Bank releasing amounts from the Company Reserve Account.

If Company acquires or sells (or moves to another sponsor) a business (or segment of a business) that is provided services under this Agreement, and the criteria as described in Section 3.3 are met to the reasonable satisfaction of Bank, Bank will determine the appropriate reserve percentage to be used based upon the criteria established in this Agreement and using the above percentages as a guide.

If Company’s risk profile changes Materially, Bank may (after providing support for its assertion that the Company’s risk profile has Materially changed) require Company to provide a reasonable increase to the Company Reserve Account.

If the amount required to be deposited in the Company Reserve Account increases and the Company fails to fund such increase within three (3) business days of Bank’s request that Company do so, Bank, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have under the Agreement, at its option may use any funds which would otherwise be payable to Company, or any funds in the Merchant Settlement Accounts or in the Company Account, to fund such increase in the Company Reserve Account.

Replenishment of the Company Reserve Account

fees or any other amounts due to Bank, Company will be required within three (3) business days to replenish the Company Reserve Account by the amount of such deductions. If Company fails to do so, Bank, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have under the Agreement, at its option may use any funds which would otherwise be payable to Company, or any funds in the Merchant Settlement Accounts or in the Company Account, to replenish the Company Reserve Account.

FIRST AMENDMENT

CLEARING AND SETTLEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

This is an Amendment dated as of June 22, 2005 (the “Amendment”) to the Clearing and Settlement Services Agreement dated as of July 23, 2004, by and between TransFirst Holdings, Inc. (“Company”) and Columbus Bank and Trust Company (“Bank”) (which as amended herein and as amended from time to time hereafter is referred to as the “Agreement”), which amends the Agreement in certain respects and adds as parties to the Agreement the following affiliates of the Company (each, a “Company Affiliate”, and collectively, the “Company Affiliates”): TransFirst, LLC (Delaware), TransFirst Health Services, Inc. (Kansas), TransFirst ePayment, Inc. (Nevada), Payment Resources International, LLC (Delaware), TransFirst Merchant Services, Inc. (Delaware).

WHEREAS, Company has requested that Bank not require Company to seek registration as an ISO/MSP and to itself conduct its Merchant Program through several “divisions” as originally contemplated by the Agreement, but that Bank instead permit each of the entities identified above as Company Affiliates to be joined as parties to the Agreement and allowed to conduct designated portions of the Merchant Program that was to have been conducted by Company under the Agreement, such that, with respect to the portion of the Merchant Program proposed to be conducted by each Company Affiliate, such Company Affiliate would seek to be registered as Bank’s ISO/MSP with the Card Associations, and if so registered, would obtain the benefits of Bank’s sponsorship and of Bank’s clearing and settlement services under the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Bank does not regard the condition, financial and otherwise, of the Company Affiliates as adequate to justify Bank’s accepting the increased risks to Bank were Bank to enter into a Clearing and Settlement Services Agreement, on the same terms that Bank extended to Company, separately with each of the Company Affiliates and, accordingly, Bank requires that the Agreement be amended in certain respects, including, among other things, (i) to provide that the Company Reserve Account (and any Letter of Credit in lieu thereof) shall continue to be maintained by Company, rather than by individual Company Affiliates, (ii) to provide that security interests and set-off rights granted Bank by Company and each Company Affiliate in various accounts and funds, shall secure not only the obligations of such grantor to Bank, but also the obligations of each other such grantor to Bank, (iii) to revise certain provisions of the Agreement that would have required Bank when resorting to certain accounts or funds to do so in a certain order, (iv) to provide that rights and remedies which under the terms of the Agreement arise in favor of Bank with respect to a breach, action, inaction, or circumstances involving any one of the Company and Company Affiliates, shall be deemed to arise simultaneously with respect to all of the Company and Company Affiliates affording Bank the ability, at its option, to exercise same as to all such entities; and (v) to provide for Company’s undertaking regarding indemnification of Bank and the “Indemnified Parties” (as hereinafter defined) with respect to all aspects of the Merchant Program, including those aspects conducted by individual Company Affiliates; and

WHEREAS, each of the undersigned Company Affiliates desires to be joined as a party to the Agreement, as amended hereby, enabling it to seek registration as an ISO/MSP sponsored by Bank and, if so registered, to obtain Bank’s clearing and settlement services with respect to the portion of the Merchant Program to be conducted by it, all on and subject to the terms of the Agreement as amended hereby; and

WHEREAS, Company, Bank and Company Affiliates also desire to amend the Agreement in certain other respects;

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bank, Company, and each of the Company Affiliates, agree as follows:

A. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Agreement.

B. Amendments. The Agreement is amended as follows:

1. Section 2.1(f) of the Agreement is amended by changing the second sentence thereof to read as follows:

“This will include, without limitation, the responsibility for obtaining and maintaining all information and documents relating to Merchants, ISOs/MSPs/Agents and others involved in the Merchant Program, making all filings, implementing and maintaining all appropriate measures, and taking all other actions, as needed in order for Bank to be in compliance with all Customer Identification Program and other requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act and all requirements of the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations, and all requirements of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards (including, without limitation, ensuring that Company and any ISOs/MSPs/Agents and others involved in the Merchant Program properly dispose of consumer information to which Company or such third parties may obtain access), applicable to the Merchant Program, and for notifying Bank of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to or use of or other breach of security with respect to, any cardholder information or other consumer information, as soon as possible after Company’s discovery thereof.”

2. Section 2.3 of the Agreement is amended by adding thereto the following:

“Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Company shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse Bank for, all outside legal counsel costs incurred by Bank directly in connection with the Merchant Program, including without limitation, costs of reviewing agreements, forms, procedures, and questions relating to Merchants, or relating to third parties referred to in Section 2.1, Article III, or Exhibit 2.2(H), or relating to issues regarding Applicable Law or the Rules or the ACH Rules, or relating to any matters (“approval matters”) for which Bank’s approval is required under the Agreement or is otherwise requested by Company; provided, however, that Bank shall bear its own outside legal counsel costs of negotiating and drafting this Agreement or any other agreement that is not part of the administration of the Merchant

-6-

Program. For example, costs relating to Bank’s counsel’s review of the form of merchant or independent sales organization agreement to be used in the Merchant Program, will be paid by Company, while the parties would bear their own legal costs relating to an amendment to this Agreement or a new agreement solely between the two parties. Bank and Company agree to cooperate to minimize the legal costs for which Company will reimburse Bank pursuant to this section 2.3. Bank will notify Company (which may be via e-mail) when referring a matter to outside legal counsel for which Bank will seek reimbursement from Company pursuant to the forgoing provisions and shall include in such notice, when practicable, a good faith estimate of the amount of such reimbursement. Any requests by Company directly to Bank’s outside counsel shall be deemed to be approved by Company and shall not require notification from Bank.

Nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be construed to limit any right, expressly provided for in any other provision of this Agreement, of Bank or any other party to be reimbursed or indemnified for its legal counsel costs.”

The parties agree and acknowledge that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph B.2, of this Amendment, shall apply solely to costs incurred by Bank subsequent to the date of this Amendment and that any such costs incurred by Bank prior to the date of this Amendment shall be paid in a manner and by the parties as they may mutually agree.

3. The following new Section 2.4 is added to the Agreement:

“Section 2.4 Company understands that, in connection with obtaining its registration with Card Associations as Bank’s ISO/MSP, and in connection with verifying Company’s identity in its capacity as a prospective “customer” of Bank for purposes of Bank’s Customer Identification Program pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act, Company will be required to furnish extensive information and documentation concerning Company, and Company agrees to provide all such information and documentation when and as requested by Bank. Company acknowledges receipt of the following notice. NOTICE: to help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see identifying documents.”

4. Section 7.2 of the Agreement is amended by changing the second sentence thereof to read as follows:

“However, Company shall bear the sole cost and expense of audits and inspections conducted or required by any regulatory authority or Card Association or NACHA, including without limitation the annual inspections Bank is required to perform under the Rules and the annual audits Bank is required to perform under the ACH Rules.”

5. (a) Section 9.5(b) of the Agreement is amended by adding thereto the following:

“Company agrees to immediately notify Bank in writing of any change in the identity of its principal owners or principal officers.”

-7-

(b) Section 9.5(g) of the Agreement is amended by adding thereto the following:

“Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company agrees (i) that any materials displaying Card Association Marks must prominently identify Bank by name and city adjacent to the Marks and not identify Company unless Company is prominently identified as a representative of Bank, as specified in the Rules, and (ii) that Company shall not use Card Association Marks on marketing materials such as business cards or letterhead or stationary, as proscribed in the Rules.”

“(i) then or subsequently due a Merchant under the Merchant Program (including without limitation Merchant settlement funds and Merchant Reserve funds) and/or.…”

6. [Intentionally Omitted]

7. Section 11.4 of the Agreement is amended by changing the second sentence to read as follows:

“If such Event of Default is not cured by the defaulting party within thirty (30) days (three (3) business days in the event of a failure of Company to fund or replenish the Company Account or Company Reserve Account or to otherwise pay amounts owing to Bank under this Agreement) after delivery of written notice describing the Event of Default (which, in the case of notice of Company failure to fund or replenish the Company Account or Company Reserve Account or to otherwise pay amounts owing to Bank, may be by electronic mail or fax), then the non-defaulting party shall be entitled at its sole election, to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party, except if otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the parties.”

8. Section 11.5 of the Agreement is amended by inserting “; or” at the end of Section 11.5(f) and adding new Section 11.5(g) as follows:

“(g) By Bank, if such termination is required by a Card Association, or is required by directions or guidance of any state or federal bank regulatory agency with supervisory authority over Bank.”

9. [Intentionally Omitted]

10. Section 12.4 is amended by changing the last sentence thereof to read as follows:

“The foregoing limitation shall not apply to the indemnity provisions stated above and elsewhere in this Agreement in the event of an indemnifiable third-party claim.”

-8-

11. Section 13.2 of the Agreement is amended by revising the second sentence thereof to read as follows:

“Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting a partnership, joint venture or (except only in the limited sense that the term “agent” is used in the Rules to characterize the Company, and only to the extent necessary to comply with the Rules) agency between the parties hereto.”

12. Section 13.9 of the Agreement is amended to read as follows:

“Section 13.9 Conflicts; Order of Precedence. In the event of a conflict between the body of this Agreement and any Exhibit hereto, the body of this Agreement shall control. In the event of any inconsistency between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any other agreement to which Company and Bank are both parties (such as, for example, Merchant Agreements, or agreements with third parties referred to in Section 2.1 or in Article III), Bank and Company agree that for purposes of determining the rights and obligations as between the parties hereto, the provisions of this Agreement shall control to the extent of any inconsistency; this order of precedence shall apply even though the other agreement is one executed subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, unless the inconsistent provision of such subsequently executed agreement expressly refers to this Agreement and to the particular provisions hereof which are intended to be superseded by the inconsistent provision thereof. (Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and as examples only, (i) if a provision in a Merchant Agreement, or in an agreement with a third party referred to in Section 2.1 or in Article III to which both Bank and Company are parties, specifies that Company may take certain action, but the action is of a kind which under the terms hereof Company is not permitted to take, or is not permitted to take without Bank’s prior approval, then the provision hereof shall take precedence such that Company shall not take such action, or not take such action without Bank’s prior approval, as the case may be, and (ii) if a provision in such an agreement has the effect of making Bank and Company both liable, whether jointly or severally or otherwise, to another party thereto with respect to a matter, but under the terms of this Agreement the liability for such a matter is reposed with one or the other of Bank or Company, then for purposes of determining the rights and obligations as between Bank and Company, the provision hereof shall take precedence such that the allocation of the liability shall be as provided in this Agreement).”

13. Exhibit 2.2(H) (ACH Services) is amended as follows:

(a) Section 13(a) thereof is amended by changing clause “(iv)” therein to read as follows:

“(iv) Company shall perform its obligations under this Exhibit in accordance with all Applicable Laws and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, acknowledges that entries may not be initiated that violate the laws of the Unites States,”

-9-

Section 13(b) thereof is amended to read as follows:

“Without limiting its obligations under other provisions of the Agreement, Company agrees that, as between Bank and Company, except for matters which are subject to indemnification by Bank under the Agreement, Company is solely responsible for all losses (including, without limitation, all credit and fraud losses and all losses from breach of any warranties which under the ACH Rules are deemed made by Bank as ODFI, or by any Merchant as Originator, or by Company as Third-Party Sender or Originator) on Credit Entries and Debit Entries, whether for Merchants or for Company, and Company shall immediately upon notification by Bank indemnify Bank for the full amount of all such losses. Company also agrees that in the event any fine, penalty or other liability (collectively ‘Fines’) shall be imposed or assessed by NACHA against Bank as a result of the violation of any of the ACH Rules, should such violation result from any action or inaction on the part of Company (or any Merchant) or any violation by Company (or any Merchant) of any provisions of this Exhibit or of any provision of the ACH Rules or of any agreement referred to in Section 13(a)(v) above in this Exhibit, then Company shall immediately upon notification by Bank indemnify Bank for the full amount of all such Fines. Should Company fail immediately to indemnify Bank for the full amount of such losses or such Fines, Bank, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have under the Agreement, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to deduct such losses and Fines from the designated Merchant Settlement Account, and/or to debit the Company Account or the Company Reserve Account or any other account maintained by Company with Bank or any affiliate of Bank for such losses and Fines.”

(b) Section 24 thereof is amended by changing the final two sentences therein to read as follows:

“Company agrees that all of the warranties and indemnifications of Third-Party Senders as set forth in said amendments to the ACH Rules shall apply to and be binding upon Company in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of Bank as the ODFI. Such warranties and indemnifications shall not be construed as limiting, but rather shall be in addition to, Company’s warranties and indemnifications provided for elsewhere in this Exhibit and in the Agreement.”

14. Addition of Company Affiliates as Parties to Agreement: Company, Bank, and each of the Company Affiliates, hereby agree that the Company Affiliates are added as parties to the Agreement, on the following basis:

(a) Each of the Company Affiliates is made a party to the Agreement to the same extent (except as hereinafter set forth in this Amendment) as if it had individually entered into the Agreement with Bank, and each Company Affiliate hereby assumes each and every obligation, and makes every representation, warranty and covenant, of the “Company” under the Agreement with respect to the portion of the Merchant Program conducted by such Company Affiliate (and makes the further representations, warranties and covenants with respect to the Merchant Program as a whole, as are set forth in this Amendment). A description of each Company Affiliate’s portion of the Company’s Merchant Program, of the Existing Portfolio, and of the ePayment Portfolio, and a listing of the BINs/ICAs applicable to such portion, each as of the date of this Amendment, is set forth in EXHIBIT B14 to this Amendment.

-10-

For its part, Company remains jointly and severally obligated and liable with each of the Company Affiliates, for each and every obligation of the “Company” under the Agreement, and agrees to indemnify Bank in accordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i) Company and the Company Affiliates acknowledge that (1) each Company Affiliate must be registered as an ISO/MSP with the Card Associations (which means, among other things, that each Company Affiliate must pay registration fees and costs, and must furnish information to satisfy the requirements for registration imposed under the Rules and by Bank), and (2) each of the Company and the Company Affiliates must have satisfied the requirements of Bank’s Customer Identification Program prior to the date referred to in clause (i) of Section 11.1 of the Agreement.

(ii) Along with Company, each Company Affiliate hereby grants the security interests and makes the agreements set out in Section 5.4 of the Agreement, which for the convenience of the parties is set out in full below (without limiting the generality of Section B.14(a) above in this Amendment, for purposes of the application of the paragraph set out below to each Company Affiliate, the use of the defined term “Company” shall mean “Company Affiliate”):

“Section 5.4 Security; Set-off. Company hereby grants Bank a continuing security interest in and to the Company Account, the Merchant Settlement Accounts and the Company Reserve Account, all funds belonging or payable to Company, or in which Company may have an interest, now or hereafter in any such Account, and all other funds belonging or payable to Company, or in which Company may have an interest, now or hereafter in the possession of Bank, to secure all of Company’s obligations to Bank under this Agreement and under any other agreement executed in connection with this Agreement to which Bank and Company may now or hereafter be parties. The Company Account, Merchant Settlement Accounts and Company Reserve Account shall each be maintained at Bank, and each such Account, all funds now or hereafter contained therein, and any other monies belonging or payable to Company or in which Company may have an interest which are now or hereafter in Bank’s possession, shall be subject to Bank’s free, immediate and unencumbered right to set-off any claims Bank has against Company, whether absolute or contingent, for services, indemnification, or otherwise.”

(i) the Company Reserve Account (and any Letter of Credit obtained in lieu thereof) shall be maintained (or obtained, as the case may be) by Company as a single account (or as a single Letter of Credit, as the case may be) rather than as separate accounts (or Letters of Credit) maintained (or obtained, as the case may be) by each Company Affiliate, which Company Reserve Account (and Letter of Credit, as the case may be) shall provide

-11-

funding for the Merchant Program as a whole, all as more fully set forth in Section 5.3 and Exhibit 5.3(A) of the Agreement, under which (i) the “Company” with the obligation to fund or replenish or increase the Company Reserve Account or Letter of Credit shall be construed to mean the Company, and (ii) (consistent with the agreements set forth elsewhere in this Amendment respecting Section 5.4 of the Agreement) the “Company Account” and “Merchant Settlement Accounts” and “funds” to which Bank, at its option, may resort for the purpose of such funding or replenishment or increase, shall be construed to mean the Company Account and Merchant Settlement Accounts and funds of, or pertaining to, first, the Company Affiliate whose activities shall have occasioned the funding or replenishment or increase, if such attribution to a particular Company Affiliate is apparent and obvious from the information already known to Bank at the time of such funding or replenishment or increase, and second, all or any of the Company Affiliates and the Company, as determined by Bank in its sole discretion; and

(ii) the provisions of the Agreement (including, without limitation, those in Section 5.2 and 5.3) which specify that Bank will satisfy “Company” obligations first from the Merchant Settlement Accounts or the Company Account, prior to satisfying any such obligations from funds in the Company Reserve Account, are hereby deemed modified to provide instead that Bank will satisfy the “Company” obligations of a particular Company Affiliate, first, from the Merchant Settlement Accounts and Company Account of, or pertaining to, that Company Affiliate, and second, from funds in any of the Company Reserve Account (or Letter of Credit), the Company Accounts (of all or any of the Company Affiliates) or the Merchant Settlement Accounts (pertaining to all or any of the Company Affiliates), in any order as Bank may determine in its sole discretion; and

(iii) insofar as

(1)

the Agreement as first executed by the Company and Bank contemplated a single registered ISO/MSP whose operating “divisions” were not distinct legal entities, such that a single set of Merchant Settlement Accounts and Company Account would be utilized in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and

(2)

Bank is not willing to now alter the approach under the Agreement to join contractually several subsidiaries of the Company if Bank must accept the substantially greater risk of relying only on the separate resources, financial and otherwise, of each such Company Affiliate as the basis for providing the very substantial benefits of ISO/MSP sponsorship and related clearing and settlement services to each Company Affiliate on an individual basis,

in order to induce Bank to make available those benefits to each Company Affiliate on an individual basis, each of the Company and Company Affiliates, along with making its other representations, warranties and agreements set out in this Amendment, hereby agrees that the security interests and set-off rights which it grants under Section 5.4 of the Agreement in all of its right, title and interest in the Company Reserve Account, in any Company Account, and in

-12-

any Merchant Settlement Accounts, and in all funds now or hereafter in any such Account, and all other funds belonging or payable to it, or in which it may have an interest, now or hereafter in the possession of Bank, shall secure not only its own obligations to Bank, but also all other obligations of the Company and/or any of the other Company Affiliates to Bank, under the Agreement and under any other agreement executed in connection with the Agreement to which Bank and any of the Company or Company Affiliates may now or hereafter be parties; and

(iv) [intentionally omitted]; and

(v) any notice intended for any of the Company Affiliates may be given to Company in the manner prescribed in Section 13.1 of the Agreement, which shall be deemed to constitute the giving of such notice not only to Company but also to such Company Affiliate; and

(vi) all rights of termination and other rights and remedies afforded Bank under various provisions of the Agreement may be exercised by Bank, in its sole discretion, either (A) against only those of the Company Affiliates whose breach or other action or inaction, or whose circumstances, gave rise to the right of termination or other rights or remedies, or (B) against the Company and all of the Company Affiliates, including those not involved in the breach or other action or inaction or circumstances giving rise to the right of termination or other rights or remedies (without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and as examples only, (x) in the event that one or more of the Company Affiliates is disqualified from registration by one of the Card Associations, Bank (in addition to all its other rights and remedies) may exercise its right to terminate the Agreement, either as to just the disqualified Company Affiliate(s), or in Bank’s sole discretion, as to Company and all of the Company Affiliates, including those who were not disqualified, and (y) if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default by, or an event referred to in Section 11.5(a) or (b) of the Agreement affecting, one or more of the Company Affiliates, it may be deemed to constitute a failure of the condition set out in the proviso to Section 5.1(c) of the Agreement either as to just the affected Company Affiliate(s), or in Bank’s sole discretion, as to all of the Company and Company Affiliates), it being the express intention of the parties that Bank shall be entitled, at its option, to deem a breach or default or other action or inaction or circumstance affecting any one of the Company or Company Affiliates under the terms of the Agreement as also constituting a like breach or default or other such action or inaction or circumstance affecting all of the others, to the end that Bank shall be allowed, in its sole discretion, to exercise all its rights and remedies under the Agreement with respect to all of the Company and Company Affiliates; and

(vii) the $75,000 amounts referred to in Section 10.4 and in Section 11.7 of the Agreement, shall refer to the aggregate of amounts owed to Bank for the entire Merchant Program of Company and all the Company Affiliates taken as a whole, such that the conditions to which those amounts relate shall not be deemed satisfied for any of the Company or Company Affiliates if such aggregate amounts exceed $75,000; and

(viii) each exposure limit set forth in Exhibit 2.2(H) shall be deemed to refer to aggregate exposure for the entire Merchant Program of Company and all the Company Affiliates taken as a whole. (By way of example only, the $1 million of RCK Entries per day transaction limit for “Company” described at Section 21(f) of Exhibit 2.2(H), would be construed to limit the combined total of such RCK Entries for the Company and all the Company Affiliates taken together, to $1 million per day.); and

-13-

(ix) the representation and warranty made by “Company” at Section 9.3(a) of the Agreement, as made by each of the Company Affiliates, shall be construed to refer to the entity type and state of organization of each, as set forth above in this Amendment.

(d) Parent Indemnity: Company hereby agrees to the following indemnity provisions (the “Parent Indemnity”), which shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, Company’s other obligations under the Agreement:

(i) Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all “Covered Losses” (as hereinafter defined) arising directly or indirectly out of any failure of any of the Company Affiliates to pay when due any amount for which such Company Affiliate shall be responsible under any provision of the Agreement.

(ii) Company’s obligations under the Parent Indemnity (A) shall be unlimited, (B) shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances, (C) shall apply irrespective of whether Bank or any of the other Indemnified Parties is held or alleged to have been contributorily negligent or otherwise engaged in actions or omissions which contributed to the Covered Losses, (D) shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the Merchant Agreements, and any other agreement to which Bank and the Company or any of the Company Affiliates may now or hereafter be party, and shall survive any event the effect of which is to cause one or more of the Company Affiliates to cease to be affiliates of the Company, and (E) shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnities in favor of any of the Indemnified Parties, including without limitation any other indemnification provisions of the Agreement. Company’s obligations under the Parent Indemnity shall apply notwithstanding the existence of any defense as might be available to any of the Company Affiliates with respect to its failure referred to in Section B.14(d)(i) above in this Amendment, including, without limitation, any defense based on any Company Affiliate’s bankruptcy or insolvency, or on its lack of corporate power or authority to enter into or perform the Agreement or on its failure to have duly authorized or executed the Agreement, or its failure to have received adequate consideration therefor, and Company irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to waive any defense or setoff to its obligations under the Parent Indemnity (save only for the defense that an alleged failure referred to in Section B.14(d)(i) above in this Amendment shall not have occurred or, having occurred, shall have already been cured by indefeasible payment in full of all amounts which the Company Affiliate(s) in question shall have failed to pay when due).

(iii) For the purposes of the Parent Indemnity, the term “Covered Losses” shall mean all claims, damages, losses, penalties, fines, expenses, costs and/or liabilities (including attorneys’ fees and court costs), including without limitation all “Losses” as defined in the Agreement.

-14-

(iv) Company shall pay and perform its obligations under the Parent Indemnity promptly upon written demand for indemnification containing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such liability. It shall not be necessary for any of the Indemnified Parties (and Company and hereby waives any rights which Company may have to require any of the Indemnified Parties), in order to enforce the Parent Indemnity, to first (A) institute suit or otherwise pursue its rights or remedies against another of the Company Affiliates or any other person or entity, or (B) enforce or pursue any of its rights or remedies against any collateral or security which shall ever have been given in connection with the Agreement or the Merchant Program or any Covered Losses, or (C) join any of the Company Affiliates or any Merchant or any others liable on the Covered Losses in any action seeking to enforce the Parent Indemnity, or (D) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Covered Losses; and in connection herewith, Company hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all rights, if any, under Official Code of Georgia Annotated §§10-7-22 and 10-7-24. The provisions set forth or referred to in Section B.14(c)(i) or B.14(c)(ii) above in this Amendment regarding the order in which Bank may resort to the specified Accounts or funds or Letter of Credit, shall not be construed to require Bank to resort to such Accounts or funds or Letter of Credit in lieu of exercising other remedies, but only to prescribe the order in which Bank will resort to the specified Accounts or funds or Letter of Credit should Bank elect to resort to same. In addition, in construing such provisions Bank shall be deemed to comply with any requirement regarding the order in which Bank may resort to the specified Accounts or funds or Letter of Credit if Bank resorts to the then available balance on hand on the date when Bank is electing to exercise such remedy; Bank is under no obligation to await the receipt into any such Account or funds or Letter of Credit of additional amounts as may be anticipated on later dates before resorting to the other Accounts or funds or Letter of Credit to which such provisions make reference; nor is Bank under any obligation to regard as a “then available balance on hand”, one which Bank cannot immediately and lawfully take and apply on a self-help basis, or one with respect to which there is any pending or threatened claim challenging Bank’s right to do so.

(v) In the event that Company shall breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of the Parent Indemnity, Company shall, upon demand by CB&T, pay CB&T all costs and expenses (including without limitation costs and expenses of the kinds referred to in Section B.14(d)(iii) above) incurred by CB&T or any other Indemnified Parties in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of the Indemnified Parties’ rights hereunder.

(vi) If any portion of the indemnification provided for herein is held void or unenforceable for reasons of public policy or otherwise, then the remaining portion thereof shall be construed as severable from the void portion and shall be given the maximum effect possible.

15. Chase Agreement: Reference is made to the Merchant Portfolio Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2005 (the “Chase Agreement”) The parties to this Amendment expressly understand and agree that the amount paid by Bank to JPMorgan Chase Bank pursuant to Section 9(a) of the Chase Agreement (and any amount as may be paid by Bank to JPMorgan Chase Bank pursuant to a comparable provision in any subsequent Merchant Portfolio Assignment and Assumption Agreement as may be entered into with JPMorgan Chase Bank) shall be deemed to constitute a funding pursuant to Section 5.1(c) of the Agreement and shall be repayable by Company and the Company Affiliates to Bank in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement applicable to such fundings.

-15-

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the 22^nd day of June, 2005.

1. Effective as of December 23, 2011 (a) Exhibit 5.3(A) of the Agreement, and references to such Exhibit elsewhere in the Agreement, are deleted, (b) references in the Agreement to using a Letter of Credit in lieu of funding the Company Reserve Account, are deleted, and (c) Section 5.3 of the Agreement is revised to read as follows:

“5.3 Company Reserve Account.

(a) Funding. Company will establish and maintain at Bank a reserve deposit account (“Company Reserve Account”), in an amount not less than $[***], to fund the payment of Merchant Losses, Transaction Card chargebacks, Losses on ACH transactions for Merchants or Company, other Losses, fees and other amounts due to Bank. Bank, in its sole reasonable discretion, may instruct Company (i) to increase the $[***] amount referred to above, to any amount up to [***] dollars ($[***]) if at any time the collective Merchants’ processed under this Agreement average chargeback dollar volume over the preceding 6 months, as a percentage of average monthly processing dollar volume, over the preceding 6 months, exceeds [***]%, and (ii) to increase the $[***] amount (or $[***] amount as applicable) referred to in (i) above to $[***] if at any time the collective Merchants’ processed under this Agreement average chargeback dollar volume over the preceding 6 months, as a percentage of monthly processing dollar volume over the preceding 6 months, exceeds [***]%. If after the [***]% threshold referred to in clause (i) above has been exceeded, or after the [***]% threshold referred to in clause (ii) above has been exceeded, the chargeback volume percentage falls back below such

threshold for two consecutive months, then the $[***] or $[***] cap amount, as applicable, will again apply (until the applicable threshold is next exceeded per the terms of (i) and (ii) above). In the event the Merchant Settlement Accounts and Company Account are insufficient or unavailable for reimbursement of Merchant chargebacks, Losses on ACH transactions for Merchants or Company, or other Losses, then Bank, in addition to all its other rights and remedies hereunder and under Applicable Law, may eliminate any Merchant chargeback, ACH related Loss, or other Loss via deduction of the amount of such chargeback, ACH related Loss, or other Loss from the Company Reserve Account without advance notice to Company, such notice to be provided within a reasonable amount of time after a deduction is taken. Amounts deposited in the Company Reserve Account will not earn any interest, but will earn funds credit at the Earnings Credit Rate specified in Exhibit B.

(b) Mechanics. Company shall initially fund the Company Reserve Account in the amount required pursuant to Section 5.3(a), with no further funding required unless pursuant to this Agreement. Additional funding of the Company Reserve Account may be required by increases, if any, in the amount of $[***] or $[***] as applicable when instructed by Bank pursuant to Section 5.3(a) of this Agreement, such that Company shall provide sufficient additional funds to Bank to ensure that at all times the amount in the Company Reserve Account is at least the amount required pursuant to Section 5.3(a). It is expressly agreed and understood by the parties hereto that the level of reserves and reserve policy currently existing at the Company, as required by Company’s current criteria and related underwriting are sufficient for purposes of the reserve requirement of 5.3(a) and will continue to be sufficient as long as the business and/or risk profile of the Company does not materially change. Bank may review at any time and, in Bank’s sole reasonable discretion, may increase or decrease the amount of the Company Reserve Account based on (i) actual Merchant Losses that Bank has incurred or (ii) Merchant Losses that Bank, in its sole reasonable discretion, reasonably anticipates incurring under this Agreement and the Merchant Agreements, and (iii) any other risks which may arise, as determined in Bank’s sole reasonable discretion, as a result of Company’s failure to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement including but not limited to any fine, fee, penalty, or assessment by a Card Association related to Company’s status pursuant to this Agreement. Within three (3) business days after notice of Bank’s decision to increase the Company Reserve Account, Company shall pay to Bank any additional amounts required. In the event Company fails to do so, or in any instance where Bank makes deductions from the Company Reserve Account as permitted under Section 5.4 to fund the payment of Merchant Losses, Transaction Card chargebacks, Losses on ACH transactions for Merchants of Company, other Losses, or fees or any other amounts due to Bank, which Company fails to replenish to the Company Reserve Account within three (3) business days after notice from Bank, Bank, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, at its option may use any funds which would otherwise be payable to Company, or any funds in the Merchant Settlement Accounts or in the Company Account, to provide for such increase in, or to replenish, the Company Reserve Account.

(1) The Company Reserve Account shall remain deposited at Bank and funded in the amount required under Section 5.3(a) above, throughout the term of this Agreement, including any extensions and renewals thereof, and through the end of

[***]

any period of continued servicing as described in Section 11.7. Following the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the conclusion of any period of continued servicing as described in Section 11.7, Bank, in its sole reasonable discretion, may retain in the Company Reserve Account funds in the amount prescribed pursuant to Section 5.3(a) above, and may retain the security interest and set-off rights therein provided for in Section 5.4, until neither the Company nor any Merchant nor any third party referred to in Section 2.1 or Article III or Exhibit 2.2(H) has any Material outstanding obligations or liabilities to Bank under this Agreement, including without limitation obligations for any Merchant Losses, or any contingent liabilities (including, without limitation, for trailing chargebacks), as determined by Bank in its sole reasonable discretion. Bank shall pay to Company, upon Company’s request, any amounts remaining in the Company Reserve Account which constituted funding required pursuant to this Section 5.3(c)(1), within ten (10) business days following the satisfaction of the condition described in the immediately preceding sentence. Bank will permit the withdrawal of all funds held in the Company Reserve Account, if Bank enters into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, with a member in good standing of the Card Associations which has been recognized by the Card Association as the assignee of the BINs and ICAs relating to the Merchant Program which has capitalization which is acceptable to Bank, in its reasonable discretion, whereby such member receives assignment pursuant to Section 10.4 of this Agreement and assumes all liabilities associated with the assigned BINs/ICAs, including without limitation trailing chargebacks liabilities. The funding required pursuant to this Section 5.3(c)(1) shall be in addition to the funding required pursuant to Section 5.3(c)(2) below.

(2) In the event that one or more BINs/ICAs which are used for the Merchant Program are not transferred by Bank to another acquiring financial institution as contemplated by this Agreement, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and the conclusion of any period of continued servicing as described in Section 11.7, Bank may retain in the Company Reserve Account additional funds equal to the average monthly volume of chargebacks and other Losses for activity processed utilizing the non-transferred BINs/ICAs during the six (6) month period occurring prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination or, if later, the average monthly chargeback and other Losses prior to the conclusion of any period of continued servicing as described in Section 11.7, multiplied by six (6), and may retain the security interest and set-off rights therein provided for in Section 5.4, for a period of six (6) months following the effective date of such expiration or termination or, if later, following the conclusion of any period of continued servicing as described in Section 11.7. Bank shall pay to Company, upon Company’s request, any amounts remaining in the Company Reserve Account which constituted funding required pursuant to this Section 5.3(c)(2), within thirty (30) days following the end of the period described in the immediately preceding sentence. The funding required pursuant to this Section 5.3(c)(2) shall be in addition to the funding required pursuant to Section 5.3(c)(1) above.”

2. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly understood and agreed that Section 5.3, though amended as hereinabove set forth, remains (in that amended form) subject to the modifications and rules of construction set forth in Section 14(c) of the First Amendment to Clearing and Settlement Services Agreement dated as of June 22, 2005 (“First Amendment”) but with any references therein to the Letter of Credit or to Exhibit 5.3(A) deleted therefrom (effective as of December 23, 2011) as provided in Section B.1 above in this Amendment.

3. Company, Bank, each of the Company Affiliates, and TransFirst ePayment Services, LLC, hereby agree that TransFirst ePayment Services, LLC is added as a party to the Agreement, as a “Company Affiliate”, effective as of June 22, 2005 and with the same effect as if TransFirst ePayment Services, LLC (i) had been added as a party and as a “Company Affiliate”, on the same basis and under the same provisions by which the other Company Affiliates were added as parties by the First Amendment, and (ii) had been a party to any subsequent amendments of the Agreement entered into prior to the date hereof. In addition, Exhibit B14 to the Agreement, is deemed modified hereby, effective as of June 22, 2005, to reflect that TransFirst ePayment Services, LLC uses the same BINs/ICAs there shown as used by TransFirst ePayment, LLC.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the 23^rd day of December, 2011.

AMENDMENT

CLEARING AND SETTLEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

This is an Amendment dated as of September 16, 2013 (the “Amendment”) to the Clearing and Settlement Services Agreement dated as of July 23, 2004 (which, as previously amended and as amended herein and from time to time hereafter, is referred to herein as the “Agreement”), by and between TransFirst Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), Synovus Bank (formerly, Columbus Bank and Trust Company) (the “Bank”), TransFirst, LLC (Delaware), TransFirst Health and Government Services, LLC (formerly, TransFirst Health and Government Services, Inc. (Kansas), TransFirst ePayment, LLC, (formerly, TransFirst ePayment, Inc. (Nevada), Payment Resources International, LLC (Delaware), TransFirst Third Party Sales, LLC (formerly, TransFirst Third Party Sales, Inc.) (Delaware), and TransFirst ePayment Services, LLC, which amends the Agreement in certain respects.

WHEREAS, Company and Bank desire to extend the current renewal term of the Agreement;

WHEREAS, Bank and Company desire to make certain other changes to the Agreement, all as more fully hereinafter set forth.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

A. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Agreement

B. Amendments. The Agreement is amended as follows:

1.	Section 1.1 of the Agreement is revised by:

(i)

adding a definition of “Payment Service Provider” or “PSP” to read as follows:

‘“Payment Service Provider’ or ‘PSP’ shall have the same meaning as that term in the Visa Rules and, for purposes of MasterCard, as the term ‘Payment Facilitator’ in the MasterCard Rules.”;

(ii)

changing the definition of “Merchant” to read as follows:

“‘Merchant’ shall have the meaning set forth in the recitals, and shall also include the Existing Merchants. ‘Merchant’ includes Sub-Merchants, as that term is defined herein. A PSP, which is also a Service Provider to Sub-Merchants hereunder, is regarded as both a Merchant and a Service Provider.”;

(iii)

changing the definition of “Merchant Agreement” to read as follows:

“‘Merchant Agreement’ shall have the meaning set forth in the recitals, and shall include the Merchant Agreements accepted by Bank in connection with the transfer of the Existing Portfolio in accordance with Section 2.1(c). ‘Merchant

Agreement’ includes all agreements entered into with Merchants (i) by Company (and its Accepted Service Providers, as applicable) and Bank or (ii) in the case of a Sub-Merchant, by a Service Provider which acts as a PSP with respect to such Merchant.”;

(iv)

changing the definition of “Merchant Program” to read as follows:

“‘Merchant Program’ shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.1(a), including, all other activities to support the Transaction Card processing services for Merchants under the Agreement, whether of the Company, Bank, Merchants, or Service Providers, and shall include all Merchant Agreements, applications, solicitations, other forms and materials, Merchant Criteria, Service Providers, and any other materials, policies, procedures, and decisions related thereto.”;

(v)

adding a definition of “Service Provider” and “Accepted Service Provider”, to read as follows:

“‘Service Provider’ means any ISO, MSP, Agent, Third Party Provider, third party service provider, processor or other subcontractor or agent used by Company in connection with the Merchant Program, which either (i) processes, transmits, stores or otherwise has access to any Cardholder or Card Transaction data, or any ACH, deposit account or other financial transaction data regarding any Merchant or any other person, or which provides any terminals or other equipment or software to Merchants for use in connection with any of the foregoing activities, or (ii) which otherwise communicates in any manner with Merchants or prospective Merchants, Card issuers, Cardholders, or any Card Association. ‘Service Provider’ includes, without limitation, (i) any entity that acts as a PSP in connection with the Merchant Program, and (ii) any other third party which is engaged by any Merchant and which is classified under the Visa or MasterCard Rules in a manner that requires the third party to be registered or otherwise sponsored by Bank with Visa or MasterCard in order to provide the services for which the Merchant engages such third party, including, but not limited to, a Merchant Third Party Agent. ‘Accepted Service Provider’ has the meaning set forth in Section 3.4.”;

(vi)

adding a definition of “Sub-Merchant” to read as follows:

“‘Sub-Merchant’ means a Merchant whose Merchant Agreement is not entered into with Bank or Company but rather is entered into with a Service Provider which acts as a PSP with respect to such Merchant.”;

(vii)

adding a definition of “Third Party Processor” to read as follows:

“‘Third Party Processor’ or ‘TPP’ shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in the MasterCard Rules.”;

(viii)

adding a definition of “VisaNet Processor” to read as follows:

“‘VisaNet Processor’ shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in the Visa Rules, subject to the following: the parties acknowledge that Company’s processing activities under this Agreement serve to classify Company under the Visa Rules as either a ‘VisaNet Processor’, if Company is directly connected to VisaNet, or as a ‘Third Party Agent’, if Company is not directly connected to VisaNet, and that Company may be regarded as acting in either or both such capacities in connection with its processing activities depending on the particular circumstances. The term ‘VisaNet Processor’, as used herein, shall be deemed to refer to either or both such capacities in which Company may be acting.”

2.	There is added to the Agreement a Section 2.l(k), as follows:

(k)

Bank’s Oversight and Control of Merchant Program.

(i) During the term of this Agreement and any period of continued servicing referred to in Section 11.7 hereof, Bank and Company hereby each acknowledge and agree that Bank shall have control and continued oversight over the Merchant Program only to the extent required by the Rules or Applicable Law or ACH Rules, including, but not limited to, the approval of (1) the Merchant Agreements and applications as provided for in Section 2.1(a); (2) Merchant Criteria, as provided for in Section 2.1(b); (3) Merchant Program policies and procedures, as provided for in Section 2.1(f); (4) Service Providers providing services in connection with the Merchant Program; and (5) all other policies, activities and decisions that could have a material impact with respect to the Merchant Program. Without limiting the foregoing, Bank shall have the authority to require modifications to the Merchant Program, including any Merchant Agreement, application, solicitation, other forms or materials, Merchant Criteria, Service Providers, policies, activities, decisions, and procedures, in Bank’s sole discretion, provided that any Bank-required modifications shall be commercially reasonable and Company must immediately implement and comply with any Bank required modification when required by Bank, further provided that, if Bank requires a modification that is not commercially reasonable, Company’s sole and exclusive remedies shall be to terminate the Agreement by following the process for objecting to a Final Bank Determination set forth in Section 2.1(k)(vii) and seek damages permitted under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Company terminates this Agreement as provided in this Section 2.1 (k)(i) and the modification that resulted in Company’s election to so terminate was not commercially reasonable, Company shall not be required to continue to pay the Monthly Minimum Fees set forth in Exhibit B following notice of such termination. In addition, Company shall provide any material proposed modification of any material component of the Merchant Program, as required by the Rules, Applicable Law, or ACH Rules, to Bank in a reasonable time prior to implementing such modification. If a proposed modification is deemed by Bank, in its sole discretion, to be material, Bank may so notify Company and Company may not proceed to implement such proposed material modification without Bank’s written approval. Proposed modifications to the following components of the Merchant Program shall be deemed “material,” including, but not limited to, products or services offered, Merchant Agreements, applications, and Merchant Criteria.

(ii) Bank may prescribe and from time to time modify written oversight plans and programs (“Oversight Plans”) providing for periodic review of the Merchant Program, including, but not limited to Merchant Program activities, results, proposed changes, materials, procedures, service levels, compliance matters, and such other matters as Bank may deem advisable. Any Oversight Plans shall include consultations between Bank’s risk officer(s) and Company risk officer(s) (who shall be designated by Company from among senior Company officers), at least quarterly and more frequently as may be deemed advisable by Bank’s risk officer(s). Company shall fully cooperate with Bank in the conduct of such Oversight Plans.

(iii) Bank Determinations. Bank’s control of the Merchant Program shall include the right to exercise its judgment in making risk assessments (collectively, as made by Bank from time to time, “Bank’s Risk Assessment”) and in determining whether any risks associated with the Merchant Program exceed what is acceptable in Bank’s good faith judgment. Bank shall have the right to make a final determination with respect to the Merchant Program and Company’s obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to: (i) the applicability and implementation of and compliance with Rules, ACH Rules and Applicable Law; (ii) how and to what extent the Merchant Program should address pending, settled or decided lawsuits or enforcement actions or proposed or actual changes to the Rules, ACH Rules, or Applicable Law relevant to the Merchant Program; and (iii) how and to what extent changes in the Merchant Program are warranted to address risks, including credit, operational, strategic, compliance and reputational risks identified by Bank and the implementation timing of such changes (collectively, “Bank Determinations”). Bank Determinations shall be commercially reasonable and Company must implement and comply with Bank Determinations when required by Bank, provided that, if a Bank Determination is not commercially reasonable, Company’s sole and exclusive remedies shall be to terminate the Agreement by following the process for objecting to a Final Bank Determination set forth in Section 2. l(k)(vii) and seek damages permitted under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Company terminates this Agreement as provided in this Section 2.1(k)(iii) and the Bank Determination that resulted in Company’s election to so terminate was not commercially reasonable, Company shall not be required to continue to pay the Monthly Minimum Fees set forth in Exhibit B following notice of such termination.

(iv) Bank Amendments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Bank reserves the right to amend, modify, or otherwise change the Merchant Program as deemed necessary by Bank.

(v) Company Amendments. Company may, and, to the extent required in order for Company to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, shall, propose

changes to the Merchant Program. Bank shall review such proposed change in consultation with Company and, Company shall take such actions necessary to implement any such proposed change agreed to by the Bank in writing.

(vi) Notice and Objection. In connection with any Bank Determination or Company suggestion with respect to modifying the Merchant Program, the party proposing the modification shall provide the other party with its basis for the modification. Bank shall have final approval over any action to be undertaken and whether any modification shall be implemented. Bank shall provide Company written notice prior to the adoption of any proposed modification to the Merchant Program subject to the Bank’s rights under this Agreement. Company may raise objections to any proposed modification (including any Bank Determination) by providing written notice thereof to Bank, and, in the event of such an objection, the parties agree to cooperate and expedite resolution of such objection.

(vii) Final Bank Determination. Bank shall have the final determination as to any modifications to the Merchant Program (the “Final Bank Determination”). Notwithstanding the foregoing consultation process established in this Section, in the event that Bank determines that a particular modification must be implemented within a specific time period, Bank shall have the right to implement, and cause Company to timely implement, such required modification as Bank believes is necessary or appropriate. Bank may seek specific performance for Company’s failure to implement any modification required by Bank. In the event that Company disagrees with the commercial reasonableness of a Final Bank Determination, Company shall have a right to terminate this Agreement provided Company objected to the initial Bank Determination that became the Final Bank Determination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Company terminates this Agreement as provided in this Section 2.1(k)(vii) and the Final Bank Determination that resulted in Company’s election to so terminate was not commercially reasonable, Company shall not be required to continue to pay the Monthly Minimum Fees set forth in Exhibit B following notice of such termination. If Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.1(k)(vii) and the Final Bank Determination was commercially reasonable, then the termination shall be deemed a “termination for convenience” pursuant to Section 11.5(h). For avoidance of doubt, Company may not delay implementing a Final Bank Determination in accordance with its terms prior to terminating the Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.1(k)(vii).

(viii) Noncompliance Losses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Company’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall include any Losses arising from its or the Merchant Program’s noncompliance with or violation of any Applicable Law or Rule or ACH Rule.

3.	Section 2.1 (e) is revised to read as follows:

“The responsibility to conduct the Merchant Program, including obtaining processing services for the Merchant Program, shall be the responsibility of Company. Company

may enter into a New arrangement or multiple New arrangements with processing service provider(s), including a New VisaNet Processor and New Third Party Processor (whereupon each such processing service provider shall become a “New Third Party Provider” and the agreement with each such New Third Party Provider shall constitute a “New Processing Agreement”, as each such term is used in the Agreement and defined in this Section) to provide authorization, clearing, and settlement services to Company as part of the Merchant Program, provided that such New Third Party Provider(s) and the processing services proposed to be performed by each must be submitted to Bank for review and approval or rejection by Bank pursuant to Section 2. l(k). In addition to any other criteria Bank may use in making a determination regarding such Third Party Provider(s), Company shall ensure that any proposed Third Party Provider meets Bank’s standards for processing services set forth in Exhibit 2.1(E), including, but not limited to, quality, consistency, features, security, disaster recovery, and access and reporting. For the purposes of this section, “New” shall mean such an arrangement entered into by the Company and the other party (i.e., the VisaNet Processor, Third Party Processor, and Third Party Provider), after the Effective Date of this Amendment, and, such New party, shall be within the meaning of the general defined term used throughout this Agreement for that party.

“Bank shall have no responsibility or liability for any costs due to this processing arrangement of Company (or its Affiliate) and Third Party Provider(s) or any claims of Merchants or others related to the processing services provided by Third Party Provider(s) for the Merchant Program; additionally, Bank shall have no responsibility or liability for any third party vendor of Company providing services to Company, Merchants, or the Merchant Program. All costs incurred in connection with registering Third Party Provider with the Card Associations, including without limitation any costs of fulfilling any risk conditions as may be imposed on Company by Card Associations, shall be borne by Company and, to the extent imposed upon or incurred by Bank, shall be promptly reimbursed by Company to Bank upon request. Company shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of any Third Party Providers used by Company, and for ensuring that each such Third Party Provider qualifies and at all times remains qualified and in good standing under all applicable Card Association requirements. Bank shall have no responsibility or liability for any costs, damages, losses, or other expenses related to or arising out of Company’s use or subsequent substitution of any Third Party Provider(s), including, but not limited to, all conversion costs, fines, penalties, audit charges, fees, and other amounts imposed by Card Associations, NACHA, or government agencies in connection with the Merchant Program. Furthermore, Bank shall have no responsibility or liability for any Service Provider providing services to Company or Merchants as part of the Merchant Program. Company shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless against any or all such costs, damages, losses, or other expenses described in this paragraph.

“Company, at its own cost and expense, each year, shall obtain and provide a copy to Bank of an SSAE 16 Type audit report covering Third Party Provider’s (and, if Bank requests it, Company’s Service Providers’) systems, facilities and operations used in connection with the Merchant Program, and, to the extent not included in such report, any additional independent third party audit as may be required to comply with Applicable

Law or the Rules or ACH Rules. If required by the Rules or Applicable Law or ACH Rules, Bank may require that a third party audit firm selected by Bank perform audits of any Third Party Provider’s or Service Providers’ systems, facilities and operations (including, without limitation, audits for compliance with Applicable Law, with contractual obligations, PCI-DSS, and any other Card Association Rules or NACHA requirements), and Company shall cooperate with such audits and shall reimburse Bank for all costs incurred in connection with such audits if required by the Rules or Applicable Law or ACH Rules.

“Without limiting the generality of Company’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to compliance with Applicable Law and the Rules and ACH Rules, all of which shall be deemed to apply as well to any Third Party Provider’s activities, it is expressly understood and agreed that Company is responsible, at Company’s cost and expense, for taking such actions and maintaining all records and systems and for making all reports and filings, as shall be necessary to ensure that Company and Bank are in compliance with Applicable Law, Rules and ACH Rules, applicable to such processing by any Third Party Provider or to Bank’s registration of Third Party Provider as Company’s processor. Company shall provide copies of any notices regarding a violation of the Rules, or Applicable Law, or ACH Rules any Third Party Provider receives from the Card Associations, NACHA regulatory agency, law enforcement official, or governmental authority, promptly following Company’s receipt thereof.

“Company agrees to indemnify Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for all Losses with respect to the foregoing paragraph, which indemnification shall include, without limitation, all fines, penalties, audit charges, fees, and other amounts imposed by the Card Associations or NACHA in connection with the Merchant Program.”

4.	Section 2.1(f) of the Agreement is revised to read as follows:

“(f) Company shall have the responsibility for ensuring that the Merchant Program, including without limitation the Merchants, Merchant Agreements, Service Providers and Service Provider agreements, application materials, any promotional materials and all services performed hereunder, comply, and remain in compliance, with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Merchant Program (‘Applicable Law’) and with the Rules and the ACH Rules (including, without limitation, the PCI Security Standards Council’s data security standards (e.g., PCI-DSS and PA-DSS)). Company’s responsibility includes, without limitation, the responsibility for obtaining and maintaining information and documents as required by law relating to due diligence of and contract execution with Merchants, Service Providers, and others involved in the Merchant Program. Such information and documentation shall include all filings, application materials, and other documents necessary to ensure Bank shall be and shall remain in compliance with all customer identification, anti-money laundering, and other requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act, including, but not limited to, all requirements of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations. Company agrees to implement a system of internal controls to ensure its ongoing compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act as applicable to the Merchant Program. Company and Bank shall coordinate complete reviews of Company’s Bank Secrecy Act program as it relates to the

Merchant Program as appropriate. Furthermore, Bank and Company shall coordinate reviews of Company’s compliance with Applicable Law, Rules, and ACH Rules applicable to the Merchant Program, including, but not limited to, the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards, security breach notification laws, and other requirements pertaining to data security and retention/non-retention of personal or financial information.”

5.	There is added to the Agreement a Section 2.1(1), as follows:

“(1) Protecting Information; Security Breach. Company shall notify Bank of any actual or suspected loss, theft, unauthorized disclosure of, access to, use of, or other compromise to the confidentiality, security, or integrity of any cardholder or card transaction data or other personal information regarding any individual (collectively, a “Security Breach”) as soon as possible after Company’s discovery thereof, unless requested otherwise by law enforcement or other regulatory authority (a ‘Law Enforcement Delay’), provided that Company will provide information regarding such a Law Enforcement Delay as part of its notification to Bank under this paragraph and shall indemnify Bank for any and all losses, expenses, costs and penalties incurred by Bank in connection with a Law Enforcement Delay. Company shall, at its cost and expense, take actions, including those as Bank or Card Associations may require, in response to a Security Breach to stop the occurrence of and mitigate the damages caused by the current Security Breach and to prevent a future Security Breach. Such actions may include, without limitation, notifying regulatory agencies, law enforcement officials, Card Association officials, or affected individuals or entities; submitting to forensic examinations; and bearing all costs of providing notice to affected individuals and other third parties, providing free credit and fraud monitoring to affected individuals, reissuance of Transaction Cards, and other concessions to affected individuals as required by the Rules or Applicable Law or ACH Rules. In the event Bank believes notice to affected individuals or government agencies, consumer reporting agencies, or any other person or entity is required, and there is no law or regulation that identifies the party responsible for giving such notice, Bank, in its sole discretion, shall determine which party will give such notice. Any notice provided as a result of a Security Breach shall be approved by Bank prior to its being given.”

6.	There is added to the Agreement a Section 2.1(m), to read as follows:

“During the Term hereof and thereafter during any period of continued servicing referred to in Section 11.7 hereof, Company shall obtain and maintain, at Company’s cost and expense, insurance coverages of the kinds and in the amounts set forth in Exhibit 2.1(M).”

“(h) Provided Company meets and performs its representations, warranties and agreements hereunder and further provided that an agreement in form and substance

satisfactory to Bank shall have been entered into between Bank and the Third Party Provider or other third party performing ACH related services in connection with the transactions contemplated herein (if Bank determines the Third Party Provider or other such third party is acting as a “Third Party Sender” under the ACH Rules or Bank otherwise determines that such a direct agreement between Bank and the Third Party Provider or other such third party is advisable), Bank shall provide ACH services, as an Originating Depository Financial Institution under NACHA’s Rules, to Company as provided in Exhibit 2.2(H) and, in consideration of the performance of the ACH services, Bank will be paid the fees specified on Exhibit B.”

Exhibit 2.2(H) is amended by:

(i)	adding the following to Section 2 thereof:

“Such daily transaction limits shall be subject to periodic review and modification by Bank based on Bank’s ACH and/or underwriting policies, any such modification to be effective upon two (2) days after receipt of notice thereof by Company from Bank or at such later date as Bank may specify in any such notice to Company. In the event of any reductions in such daily transaction limits which Materially impact the Merchant Program, Company shall have the right to terminate the use of ACH services hereunder, effective upon two (2) days after receipt of notice thereof by Bank from Company.”;

(ii)

deleting from Schedule E thereto, the references to POP, RCK, TEL and WEB as approved entry types;

9.	Section 3.3 is revised by adding thereto the following:

“In the event Bank enters into an assignment and assumption agreement under this Section, such acquired merchants and Company or its Affiliates providing services to such acquired merchants (the ‘Acquired Portfolio’) shall become part of the Merchant Program. Company or its Affiliates providing services to the Acquired Portfolio and the Merchants in the Acquired Portfolio shall have the same responsibilities, duties, rights, and obligations under this Agreement as Company, including, without limitation, the obligation to indemnify Bank and the other Bank Indemnified Parties (and the other ‘Indemnified Parties’, in the case of the Parent Indemnity) from any trailing chargeback liability and any other liabilities arising from the business of the Merchants in the Acquired Portfolio and any and all Losses (and Covered Losses, in the case of the Parent Indemnity), costs, obligations, expenses or liabilities arising out of, related to or in connection with Bank’s acquisition of the Acquired Portfolio, including, without limitation, any Losses (and Covered Losses, in the case of the Parent Indemnity), costs, obligations, expenses or liabilities that arise out of or relate to the actions of any of the Company or its Affiliates and/or the transferor of the Acquired Portfolio prior to completion of the transfer of the Acquired Portfolio to Bank.

“Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 13.9 hereof with regard to precedence of this Agreement over conflicting provisions of other agreements to which Bank and Company or its Affiliates may also be party, for the avoidance of doubt the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all such assignment and assumption agreements as may be entered into from time to time by Bank at the Company’s request, are deemed to be such third party agreements and fully subject to the precedence provisions of Section 13.9 hereof.”

The parties to this Amendment expressly acknowledge and agree that Section 3.3 as amended hereby, shall be deemed to apply not only to such assignment and assumption agreements as may be entered into on or after the date of this Amendment, but to all such assignment and assumption agreements as have been entered into prior to the date of this Amendment.

If a proposed Service Provider is deemed by Bank, in its sole discretion, to be significant, Bank may so notify Company and Company shall not proceed with an agreement with

such significant Service Provider without Bank’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The following categories of proposed Service Providers shall be deemed to be “significant” for purposes of this paragraph, including, but not limited to, ISOs, MSPs, PSPs, and Third Party Providers. Company shall provide financial and such other information regarding such entities as Bank may reasonably request in connection with Bank’s determination whether to approve such entities. Upon Bank’s approval of such entity (each such approved entity, an “Accepted Service Provider”), Bank may condition Company’s use of a significant Accepted Service Provider on (i) the Accepted Service Provider’s entering into an agreement with Bank relating to the proposed services; and/or (ii) Bank’s prior review and approval of the contract pursuant to which Company engages the services of such Accepted Service Provider; and/or (iii) Bank’s prior review and approval of any contract pursuant to which such Accepted Service Provider contracts with Merchants to provide services thereto.

“(b) Based on Company’s representation and warranty that information previously furnished by Company to Bank regarding the existing Service Providers identified on Exhibit 3.4 (‘Existing Service Providers’) is true and accurate in all material respects, and that such Existing Service Providers are each registered and in good standing with the Card Associations, Bank hereby approves such Existing Service Providers as ‘Accepted Service Providers’.

“(c) Company shall direct, manage, conduct, administer and enforce the Service Provider agreements of Bank and Company as to the Accepted Service Providers; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to authorize Company to modify any such Service Provider agreement, except as provided in Section 2.1(k), or to waive any rights of Bank against such Service Provider, without Bank’s prior written consent.

Upon Bank’s request, and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Company shall assist Bank in the audit or review of any Accepted Service Provider. Company agrees that Bank may terminate any Accepted Service Provider in the event of any breach by the Accepted Service Provider of its agreement or any Rule or ACH Rule or Applicable Law, or if Bank in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ the termination necessary to avoid loss, damage or adverse exposure to Bank.

Bank, even if contrary to instructions received from Company. Company further hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each Third Party Provider and each other Service Provider to comply with the foregoing requirements. Regarding the Third Party Provider and each Service Provider, Company may (the choice of which shall be specified by Bank in each instance): (A) cause any Third Party Provider or Service Provider to enter into an agreement directly with Bank pursuant to which any Third Party Provider or Service Provider agrees to the special arrangements mentioned above regarding Bank’s direct access to information and Bank’s right to give directions directly to any Third Party Provider or Service Provider; or (B) cause the Company to include in its agreement with any Third Party Provider or Service Provider, provisions in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, pursuant to which any Third Party Provider or Service Provider agrees to the arrangements mentioned above regarding Bank’s direct access to information, and right to give directions directly to any Third Party Provider or Service Provider.

party’s written notice of such claim, but, in any event, no later than ten (10) days before the date on which any response to a complaint, summons, or other legal filing is due and that failure to provide such timely election shall be deemed to waive the right to exercise exclusive control over the preparation and defense of the matter; and (iii) provide such assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the claim as the indemnifying party may reasonably request, at the indemnifying party’s expense.

as construed under clause (i) above and its obligations as construed under clause (ii) above and, to the extent its obligations as construed under clause (i) above and as construed under clause (ii) above may be inconsistent (whether as to scope, extent, duration, or otherwise), shall in every instance be construed as intended to impose the greater obligations on TransFirst Holdings, Inc. and on each Company Affiliate, and as affording Bank and any other Bank Indemnified Parties (“Indemnified Parties”, in the case of the Parent Indemnity) the greater rights.

20.	As of the first day of the calendar month after the ePay BINS and ICAs are moved (BINs [*] and [] and ICAs [] and [*]), Exhibit B of the Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the amended and restated “Exhibit B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
