ACE shall forward all completed Applications to BANK (or its designated loan processing agent) electronically, by telephone, or by other appropriate means agreeable to both Parties.

               (ii) Based upon the information provided by Applicants to BANK in the Applications and such other credit-related information as obtained by ACE at the direction of BANK, or by BANK directly, and pursuant to the credit granting standards adopted by BANK in its sole discretion, BANK shall be solely responsible for determining whether to extend credit to Applicants.

In the case where BANK’s credit granting standards indicate that an Applicant qualifies for a Loan, ACE shall provide to Borrower a check or a voucher for the Amount Financed.

               (iv) ACE shall (A) deliver a copy of the Note to the Borrower; (B) deliver a copy of the Bank’s privacy policy to the Borrower; (C) obtain from the Borrower the executed Note; (D) obtain from Borrower his or her signed personal check or checks, dated the due date of the final installment due under the Note, made payable to BANK for the Total of Payments set forth in the Note (the “Borrower Check”), or the Borrower’s ACH debit authorization (the “Borrower Authorization”); and (E) in accordance with Section 1(b), hold in trust and as bailee for BANK, separate and apart from ACE’s own assets, the Borrower Check or Borrower Authorization and Note.

               (iv) BANK’s or its employees’ fraud or misconduct (related to specific actions of BANK or its employees and not arising from or related to general claims of fraud or misconduct related to the Program or the Loans);

               (v) ACE complying with BANK Policies or taking specific action under a specific request by BANK that ACE would not otherwise take without the specific request of BANK;

               (vi) any claim by any Delaware regulatory authority, the FDIC, or any other federal regulatory agency or other governmental body having supervisory authority over BANK;

               (vii) any claim by any third party of service mark or trade mark infringement based upon ACE’s use of the BANK Properties;

               (viii) violation by BANK of ECOA or any similar Delaware law governing BANK’s decisions regarding whether to accept or reject a proposed Loan; or

               (ix) violation by BANK of any federal law.

     ACE acknowledges that this indemnification and risk allocation is a material inducement to BANK to enter into this Agreement and is a material factor in BANK’s determination of the compensation to be paid to ACE. ACE expressly agrees and intends that this risk allocation includes any such risk arising in whole and or part from the alleged or actual negligence (but not gross negligence or willful misconduct) of BANK. “Losses” shall include the failure of a Borrower to repay a Loan if such failure is related to a Collateral Event (as defined below) or any other reason other than a Borrower’s financial ability. For example, but not by way of limitation, if a Loan is not required to be repaid as a result of a suit alleging that the Program violates a prescribed law, Losses will include the principal amount of the Loan.

          (c) BANK hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless ACE and its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys (the “ACE Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by such ACE Indemnified Parties as a result of, or in connection with, those matters specified in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 4(b).

          (d) The BANK Indemnified Parties and the ACE Indemnified Parties are sometimes referred to herein as the “Indemnified Parties,” and ACE or BANK, as indemnitor hereunder, are sometimes referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party.”

          (e) Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of any notice of the assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by any third party of any legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action, or if the Indemnified Party determines the existence of any such claim or the commencement by any third party of any such legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action, whether or not the same shall have been asserted or initiated, in any case with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is or may be obligated to provide indemnification (an “Indemnifiable Claim”) specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss, and, if known, the amount, or an estimate of the amount, of the Loss, provided that failure to promptly give such notice shall only limit the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the actual prejudice, if any, suffered by such Indemnifying Party as a result of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable thereafter information and documentation reasonably requested by such Indemnifying Party to support and verify the Indemnifiable Claim asserted.

          (f) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of any notification of an Indemnifiable Claim (a “Claim Notice”) to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith if such cooperation is so requested and the request is reasonable; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall hold the Indemnified Party harmless from all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes responsibility for the settlement or defense of any such claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party (subject to the consent of the Indemnifying Party to such counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and engage under a mutually agreed upon legal budget where the costs of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be split equally between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party); and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Indemnifiable Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed for any reason if the settlement involves only payment of money, and which consent may be withheld for any reason if the settlement involves more than the payment of money, including any admission by the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party is vigorously contesting any such Indemnifiable Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          (g) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice that it elects to undertake the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim described therein, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to contest vigorously any such Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, upon notice to the Indemnifying Party, to contest, settle or compromise the Indemnifiable Claim in the exercise of its reasonable discretion; provided that the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any compromise or settlement of any such Indemnifiable Claim. No action taken by the Indemnified Party pursuant to

14

this Section 4(g) shall deprive the Indemnified Party of its rights to indemnification pursuant to this Section 4. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party all Losses which the Indemnified Party has incurred within 30 days of receipt of written demand therefor, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees of the Indemnified Party incurred in connection with defense of any Indemnifiable Claim.

          (h) If ACE does not make timely payment to BANK as required under this Section 4, BANK may set off against the fees owed to ACE by BANK pursuant to Section 2(g) above. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Collateral Event (as defined below), ACE shall post collateral (cash or cash equivalent) with BANK in an amount reasonably determined by BANK (the “Collateral Amount”), with such Collateral Amount not to exceed the greater of (X) 15% of the highest daily balance of all outstanding Loans in the 30 calendar days preceding the Collateral Event or (Y) $250,000. Such collateral shall be held in an interest bearing account (or applied in BANK’s sole discretion against any monies owed by ACE to BANK and not paid timely) until either (I) all of ACE’s obligations under this Agreement have been discharged to the reasonable satisfaction of BANK and all Loans have been collected or written off by BANK or (II) the Collateral Event has been resolved. In addition, until either (I) ACE’s obligations under this Agreement have been discharged to the reasonable satisfaction of BANK and all Loans have been collected or written off by BANK or (II) the Collateral Event has been resolved, it shall be the obligation of ACE to maintain the value of such collateral being held by BANK at an amount that is at all times equal to the Collateral Amount. A “Collateral Event” shall have occurred when: (1) the Program is for any reason suspended or terminated as a result of or in connection with an Indemnifiable Claim against ACE or (2) a suit or other proceeding is initiated against BANK and BANK is entitled to indemnification under this Section 4 for such suit or other proceeding. If for any reason ACE does not post such collateral within 30 days, BANK shall be permitted to immediately set off against all of the fees owed to ACE by BANK hereunder until all indemnification claims have been satisfied in full and until collateral representing the Collateral Amount has been established. If ACE fails to make any payments in a timely manner to BANK under this Agreement, BANK, in its sole discretion, may (but is not required to) from time to time distribute to itself from the interest bearing account (including any interest earned thereon) an amount equal to any monies ACE owes to BANK).

     5. Term and Termination.

          (a) Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date of this Agreement, and shall continue for a term of 36 months. The Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional 12-month term unless either Party provides written notice to the other Party that it does not wish to so renew the Agreement no less than 90 days prior to the expiration of the original term of the Agreement.

          (b) Change in Circumstances. If ACE determines that it can profitably engage in installment loan or deferred deposit transactions in any of the States of Texas, Arkansas or Pennsylvania independent of BANK, then ACE, in its sole discretion upon sixty (60) days notice to BANK, may (i) in the event of such a determination by ACE

with respect to any of the States of Arkansas or Pennsylvania, elect to modify this Agreement to remove such State from the definition of “Market” or (ii) in the event of such a determination by ACE with respect to the State of Texas, elect to either (A) modify this Agreement to remove the State of Texas from the definition of “Market” or (B) terminate this Agreement. In the event of a termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5(b)(ii)(B) on or prior to December 31, 2006, ACE shall pay BANK a termination fee of $100,000.

          (c) Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event (as defined below in this Section 5(c)) by either Party, this Agreement shall automatically and immediately terminate. It shall constitute an Insolvency Event by BANK hereunder if BANK shall file for protection under any state or federal liquidation provision, or BANK is placed into conservatorship or receivership with the FDIC or any other duly appointed person or entity. It shall constitute an Insolvency Event by ACE hereunder if ACE shall file for protection under Texas law or federal bankruptcy or similar law, an involuntary petition is filed against ACE under any such laws and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days of such filing, or a receiver or any regulatory authority takes control of ACE.

          (d) Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) by either Party, the other Party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice at least thirty (30) days in advance of termination and an opportunity for the defaulting Party to cure the Event of Default. It shall constitute an Event of Default by BANK hereunder if: (i) BANK shall be in material breach of any duty, obligation, representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or if BANK fails to make any payment due hereunder within the time period specified in this Agreement; (ii) ACE has not materially defaulted hereunder and BANK nonetheless discontinues making Loans; (iii) BANK terminates its agreement with the Service Provider and, as a result and through no fault of ACE, ACE is not able to market and service the Loans for a period of five or more business days, or (iv) BANK ceases generally to fund Loans marketed by ACE pursuant to this Agreement. It shall constitute an Event of Default by ACE hereunder if (i) ACE shall be in material breach of any duty, obligation, representation, warranty, or covenant hereunder, or (ii) BANK has not defaulted hereunder and ACE nonetheless discontinues marketing and servicing the Loans other than pursuant to Section 5(b).

          (e) Adverse Impact to BANK. BANK may terminate this Agreement on ninety (90) days written notice to ACE in the event BANK becomes aware of any adverse legal, regulatory or other developments (either federal or state), whether inside or outside of the state of Texas and regardless of whether it involves any Party or is related to the Program, and which could have a material adverse impact on BANK, the profitability of its activities under this Agreement or its litigation or risk exposure. This provision shall not apply to events or circumstances covered by Section 5(b).

          (f) Adverse Impact to ACE. ACE may terminate this Agreement on ninety (90) days’ written notice to BANK in the event that either (i) BANK changes the BANK Policies in a manner which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact

Agreement providing for the Proposed Third-Party Arrangement. If BANK fails to accept or gives written notice to ACE of its rejection of the ROFR Offer in a timely manner, the ROFR Offer shall lapse and Seller shall be free to enter into the Proposed Third-Party Arrangement with the Third-Party Financial Institution upon the terms described in the Offering Notice.

     7. Confidentiality and Use of Customer Information.

          (a) Consistent with the limitations imposed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”), Federal Reserve Board regulations and Federal Trade Commission regulations implementing the GLBA, and other applicable federal and state privacy laws,

ACE may disclose or otherwise use all information collected on the Application regarding all Applicants (“Applicant Information”), including, without limitation, names, addresses, demographic information and financial information, for any lawful purpose. ACE shall not disclose or otherwise use information concerning an Applicant, other than Applicant Information, that is received by ACE as a result of the Applicant’s receipt of a Loan from BANK pursuant to this Agreement for any purpose other than to perform ACE’s services as set forth in Section 2. Consistent with the limitations imposed by the GLBA, Federal Reserve Board regulations and Federal Trade Commission regulations implementing the GLBA, and other applicable federal and state privacy laws, BANK may use the Applicant Information for any Applicant to whom it extends a Loan, or considers extending a Loan, only for the purposes authorized by, and subject to the provisions of, this Agreement.

          (b) BANK and ACE agree to treat in confidence the provisions of this Agreement and all documents, materials and other information related to this Agreement which shall have been obtained during the course of the negotiations leading to, and during the performance of, this Agreement (collectively, “Confidential Information”), including without limitation the reports referenced in Section 2(e), and not to communicate Confidential Information to any third party, except that Confidential Information may be provided to a regulatory agency having or asserting jurisdiction over a Party or the Loans, a Party’s affiliates, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, counsel, accountants, financial or tax advisors without the consent of the other Party; provided that such Parties agree to hold such Confidential Information in confidence. As used herein, the term “Confidential Information” does not include information which (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by a Party receiving such information (a “Restricted Party”), (ii) is independently developed by a Restricted Party without violating this Agreement, (iii) was available to the Restricted Party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Restricted Party, (iv) becomes available to the Restricted Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Party; provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the other Party or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Restricted Party by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation or (v) is required by Law to be disclosed.

          (c) In the event that a Restricted Party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, Civil Investigative Demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Restricted Party will provide the other Party with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the other Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive the Restricted Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the other Party does not seek such a protective order or other remedy, or such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the other Party grants a waiver hereunder, the Restricted Party may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information which the Restricted Party is legally compelled to disclose and will exercise such efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential Information so furnished as a Restricted Party would

19

reasonably exercise in assuring the confidentiality of any of its own confidential information.

     8. Specific Performance in the Event of Breach.

          (a) The Parties agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation in the event of a breach by a Restricted Party of its obligations under Section 7 and, therefore, the Parties agree that in the event of any such breach the Restricted Party, in addition to its other remedies at law or in equity, shall be entitled to an order requiring the Restricted Party to specifically perform its obligations under Section 7 or enjoining the Restricted Party from breaching Section 7, and the Restricted Party shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law.

     9. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Neither the existence of this Agreement or any related agreements, nor their execution, is intended to be, nor shall it be construed to be, the formation of a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between BANK and ACE. No employee of ACE shall be deemed to be an employee of BANK, nor shall any employee of BANK be deemed an employee of ACE.

          (b) This Agreement and any related agreements supersede any negotiations, discussions or communications between BANK and ACE and constitute the entire agreement of BANK and ACE with respect to the subject matter hereof.

          (c) Failure of any Party to insist, in one or more instances, on performance by any other Party in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any right granted hereunder or of the future performance of any such term or condition or of any other term or condition of this Agreement unless and to the extent that such waiver is in a writing signed by or on behalf of the Party alleged to have granted such waiver.

          (d) ACE shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without BANK’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, in which event ACE shall remain directly liable to BANK for all of ACE’s obligations hereunder. BANK shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without ACE’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. This Section 9(d) shall not be deemed to apply to Section 1(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, ACE may assign this Agreement in whole or in part to an affiliate of ACE, so long as ACE agrees to remain directly liable to BANK for all of ACE’s obligations hereunder.

          (e) This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties and shall not be deemed to be for the benefit of any third party, including any Borrower, except for ACE Indemnified Parties as provided in Section 4. Except as provided in the previous sentence, no such third party shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary hereunder.

          (f) The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

          (g) When used in this Agreement, (i) “including” shall not signify any limitation or restriction, (ii) “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and similar terms shall be deemed references to this Agreement as a whole, (iii) “person” shall include natural persons, entities of any kind, and governmental authorities, (iv) “Section,” “Exhibit” and “Schedule” shall refer to a Section, an Exhibit and a Schedule, respectively, of or to this Agreement, unless otherwise stated, and (v) “business day” shall mean any Monday through Friday other than any such day that banks are authorized to be closed in the State of Texas. Pronouns referring to any gender shall be deemed references to each other gender as appropriate.

          (h) This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which is an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. Facsimile signatures and photocopies shall be deemed as valid as though they were originals.

          (i) ACE shall provide to BANK any copies of written customer complaints regarding any Loan or the Program received by U.S. Mail from consumers within five (5) business days of receipt by ACE.

     10. Choice of Law; Forum Selection; Attorneys Fees and Waiver of Jury Trial

          (a) Choice of Law. This Agreement and the rights and duties described herein shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to Delaware choice of law or conflict of law rules.

          (b) Forum Selection. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement shall be brought against any of the Parties in the courts of the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the Parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein.

          (c) Attorneys Fees. Any person who is the successful Party in any proceeding brought to enforce such Party’s rights under this Agreement shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs from the other Party.

EXHIBIT A

COMPUTATION OF SERVICING FEES

     1. This is Exhibit A to that certain Marketing and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 21, 2005 (the “Agreement”) between First Bank of Delaware (“BANK”) and ACE Cash Express, Inc. (“ACE”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are defined in the Agreement.

     2. As ACE’s sole compensation under the Agreement, BANK shall pay ACE the marketing and servicing fees (the “Fees”) set forth below. BANK shall only be obligated to pay the Fees on Loans actually paid during the period.

     3. Commencing on the first business day following the cashing of a voucher by ACE in connection with a Loan and continuing on each business day thereafter, ACE shall deliver to BANK a daily report of business (the “Daily Report”) outlining the total amount of vouchers cashed by ACE on any day prior to such Daily Report and not included in a prior Daily Report (the aggregate amount of vouchers cashed referred to as the “Voucher Proceeds”), the fees earned by BANK, the Fees projected to be earned by ACE upon full repayment of the Loan, and the total Loans held as receivable as a result of the transactions. Additionally, the report will detail the Loans collected from each Borrower together with the applicable fees that pertain to BANK and applicable Fees that pertain to ACE, as well as such other information as is reasonably required by BANK to manage the Program. On each such business day that such a report is delivered, BANK shall pay ACE, by an ACH transfer, the Voucher Proceeds reflected in such report.

     4. On the first and fifteenth calendar day of each calendar month following a Loan repayment, and continuing on the first and fifteenth calendar day of each calendar month thereafter, ACE shall deliver to BANK an invoice that details, by the day, the total Loans collected, the total fees earned by BANK, and the total amount of Fees due to ACE for the 15-day period included in such invoice (an “Invoice”). Based on each Invoice, BANK will pay to ACE, by ACH transfer (or by other means agreeable to ACE and BANK) on the day following the delivery of the Invoice, the Fees owed by BANK to ACE as a result of ACE’s activities for the Invoice period; provided, however, that if any payment date is not a business day for BANK, then BANK’s payment shall be made on the next day that is a business day for BANK. Each Invoice shall show (i) the total of payments on Loans actually received by BANK during the Invoice period; and (ii) the Fees owed by BANK to ACE, together with the calculation of such Fees in such detail and in a manner mutually agreeable to the Parties. ACE and BANK agree that the calculation of the Fees owed by BANK shall be submitted with each Invoice. ACE shall be responsible for all principal and fee losses on Loans. For each invoice period, BANK will reduce the amount of fees payable to ACE by the amount of the principal and fee losses on Loans.

     5. Each Borrower shall be charged an annual percentage rate of between * — * % depending on the term of the Loan.

     6. As provided in Section 2(f) of the Agreement, BANK must pay ACE Fees calculated as follows: (a) all returned item charges paid by Borrowers plus (b) all finance charges paid by Borrowers, less (i) $ * per Loan, (ii) * % of all fees recorded as paid by Borrowers, except returned item charges, and (iii) all principal and fee losses on Loans. If the principal losses on Loans exceed the amount due to ACE, ACE agrees to remit the amount of the shortfall to BANK via wire transfer within three business days.

     7. ACE shall reimburse BANK on a monthly basis for all of BANK’s charges and actual costs associated with BANK’s local Texas bank accounts, which BANK establishes to conduct the Program, including, without limitation, actual NSF charges, services fees, and any miscellaneous monthly fees. BANK will submit an invoice to ACE for these charges on a monthly basis.

     8. On a monthly basis, BANK will invoice ACE for * % of the Credit Scoring Fees, Base Rate fees, Discount Rate fees and OFAC fees (each as described below) (collectively, the “Service Provider Fees”) charged by the Service Provider. BANK will be responsible for * % of the Service Provider Fees. While the Service Provider used by BANK may change during the term of this Agreement, and while the Service Provider Fees charged by such vendor may change during this period, the Parties contemplate that BANK ¹will use Teletrack, Inc. as the Service Provider and that Teletrack will charge the following fees in connection with its services to BANK:

Credit Scoring Fees: The Banks Service Provider is estimated to charge $1.85 for each loan submitted for approval. The Credit Scoring information to be gathered is the FICO score and the Borrowers Debt to
Income ratio.

Base Rate: So long as Service Provider does not already receive a fee with respect to any ACE retail location from ACE or another institution offering loans at such ACE retail location, $75.00 per month for each ACE retail location offering Loans under this Agreement. This Base Rate includes only the first 75 transactions per month made at each such ACE retail location.

Discount Rate: After the “Base Rate” is satisfied per location, each transaction in excess of 75 transactions will be charged a rate of approximately $0.20 cents per transaction.

OFAC Testing: the Service Provider costs for OFAC testing of Applicants.

Credit Reporting Fees: To the extent BANK elects to provide Borrowers with the ability to report their transaction information to credit reporting agencies, BANK will bear all of the costs related thereto.

     9. ACE shall reimburse BANK for the costs of an annual IT audit of ACE’s information technology system. Such costs shall not exceed $15,000. In addition, ACE shall reimburse BANK for any audit costs related to reviews of any third parties (i.e. collection agencies) it contemplates using for this agreement. Such costs shall not exceed $7,500 per 12-month period during the term of this Agreement unless ACE requests that additional third party collectors be reviewed.

EXHIBIT B

CLAIMS, ACTIONS, SUITS, ORDER, OR INVESTIGATION ASSERTED AGAINST THE BANK

     1. The following is a list of each claim, action, suit, order, investigation, or proceeding by or before any court, governmental authority, or arbitrator that is pending or, to the knowledge of BANK, threatened against BANK or any of its affiliates (collectively a “BANK claim”), which BANK claim (i) could materially and adversely affect BANK, any BANK affiliate, or the Program if the claim is decided adversely to BANK or its affiliate; or (ii) seeks to delay, prohibit, or restrict the activities of ACE or BANK contemplated by this Agreement:
