     WHEREAS, Supplier is in the business of providing, and is willing to provide Advanta, certain services; and
     WHEREAS, Supplier desires to provide to Advanta, and Advanta desires to obtain from Supplier, certain services and resources, as are described in this Agreement and as may be otherwise mutually agreed upon by Advanta and Supplier from time to time and documented in separate, written statements of work, which may include services and resources for call center operations, collection efforts, finance and accounting, research and analytics, and information technology; and
     WHEREAS, Supplier and Advanta desire to establish a mechanism for the execution of such statements of work and to document certain standard provisions that will govern the performance of the activities contemplated by each such statement of work.
     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the agreements of the Parties set forth below, Advanta and Supplier agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.
     1.1 Certain Definitions. Certain capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in Attachment 1 (Definitions) hereto. Other capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the context in which they are used, and shall have the meanings there indicated.

All Statement(s) of Work and Attachments attached hereto are hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, this Agreement.
2. TERM.
     2.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and remain in full force and effect for a period of three (3) years (the “Initial Term”), and shall be automatically renewed for two successive one (1) year periods (each a “Renewal Term”) on the same terms and conditions except that the Fees fixed for the Initial Term: (a) shall be ****** and (b) the Fees for the first Renewal Term shall be ******, unless Advanta provides written notice to Supplier of its election to terminate this Agreement at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the last day of the then current Term.

     2.2 Statement of Work Term. Each Statement of Work under this Agreement shall have a separate term, as follows: the initial term of each SOW shall commence on the SOW Effective Date for such SOW, and shall end on the last day of the Initial Term as set forth in Section 2.1, the “SOW Initial Term”). Advanta may, at its election, extend the term of any SOW (except any Pilot SOW, which may be extended upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.3) for additional periods of up to one (1) year each, which shall be coterminous with the Renewal Term as set forth in Section 2.1 (each, a “SOW Renewal Term,” and all SOW Renewal Terms collectively with the SOW Initial Term, the “SOW Term”) on the same terms and conditions then in effect, except that the Fees fixed for the SOW Initial Term set forth in the applicable SOW: (a) shall be ****** and (b) the fees for the first SOW Renewal Term shall be ******, by notifying Supplier of Advanta’s desire to renew at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the SOW Initial Term or then-current SOW Renewal Term.

Each SOW shall include a detailed description of the Services to be provided under the SOW and any Advanta responsibilities with respect to such Services. Each SOW shall be sequentially numbered in the order of execution (e.g., SOW001, SOW002, etc.), shall be signed by an Authorized Representative of each Party and upon such execution shall be deemed to incorporate the provisions of this Agreement by reference. Supplier shall negotiate in good faith any new SOW that is requested by Advanta
          b. Pilots. The Parties agree that the initial Services in each functional area shall be considered pilot programs during which Advanta shall have the opportunity to evaluate the services, resources, and deliverables provided by Supplier. There shall be four separate pilot programs as follows: (i) Call Center/New Accounts; (ii) Finance and Accounting/ Settlements; (iii) Information Technology/Application Development and Services; and (iv) Collections or First Bucket Collections; or such other functions as set forth in the SOW for such pilot (each a “Pilot”). The term of each Pilot shall be set forth in the applicable SOW (each a “Pilot Period”). Each Pilot shall be documented by a separate SOW setting forth, among other things, the following:
               i. scope of Services to be performed including work location, work hours and process mapping;
               ii. staffing levels, qualifications, training procedures and a list of key employees performing the Services;
               iii. information technology, equipment and software considerations (e.g., set up, licensing);
               iv. key Pilot performance measures including tollgates (i.e., decision points during the term of the Pilot), stakeholders (i.e., Advanta and Supplier personnel responsible for such decisions) and associated dates;
               v. any Fees payable during the Pilot Period.

          a. Generally. Commencing on the earliest SOW Effective Date, and continuing thereafter throughout the Term, Supplier shall provide the Services to Advanta and the Service Recipients in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

****** — Denotes material that has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.


 

the SOWs, the Policies and Procedures Manuals and, where the Service Levels and Policy and Procedures Manuals do not establish standards, in accordance with general industry standards for the Services being provided, to the extent Supplier is aware of such general industry standards through its own efforts or because Advanta has informed Supplier (“General Industry Standards”). If Supplier’s performance of the Services in accordance with a particular new standard will require additional costs or expenses, the Parties will mutually agree on an equitable allocation of such costs and expenses.
          b. Performance of Services by Advanta, Advanta Affiliates, or Third Parties; Supplier Cooperation. Subject to Sections 4.2 and Section 26.12, Advanta shall have the right to perform or provide itself, or to retain third parties or Advanta Affiliates to perform or provide, any of the Services or any other services. To the extent Advanta itself performs any of the Services, or retains third parties or Advanta Affiliates to do so, Supplier shall cooperate in good faith with Advanta or such third party or Advanta Affiliate. Supplier shall immediately notify Advanta if an act or omission of such a third party or Advanta Affiliate may cause a problem or delay in providing the Services, and shall cooperate with Advanta to prevent or circumvent, or if unable to do so, mitigate the effects of such problem or delay.
          c. No Future Obligations; No Exclusivity. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Advanta shall be under no future obligation to acquire additional or future products or services from Supplier or any Supplier Agent; and (ii) this Agreement in no way establishes any exclusive arrangement between Supplier and Advanta.
     3.3 Provision of Technology.
          a. Improved Technology. In providing the Services to Advanta, Supplier shall: (i) determine the commercially reasonable least cost/highest benefit methods to implement technological changes; (ii) maintain a level of technology, for technology provided by Supplier, that allows Advanta to take advantage of technological advances in order to remain competitive in Advanta’s business and the markets in which Advanta operates subject to Article 16; (iii) identify Improved Technology to the Steering Committee for its evaluation in connection with the Services, and provide sufficient information to enable the Steering Committee to conduct such evaluation; (iv) identify emerging risks and threats to the security of Advanta’s Confidential Information or the performance of the Services and identify technological, procedural or other solutions to protect against or mitigate such risks and threats; and (v) meet with the program manager appointed by Advanta (the “Advanta General Program Manager”), at Advanta’s request, to inform Advanta of any Improved Technology or new information processing technology Supplier is developing, or information processing trends and directions of which Supplier is otherwise aware, that could reasonably be expected to have an impact on Advanta’s business. In the event there is a shift in the risks and threats faced by Advanta or the technology used in Advanta’s business that affects or might reasonably affect the Services, at Advanta’s request and to the extent such shift is not otherwise addressed in this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to address the effect, if any, of such shift on the Services and Fees.

          b. New Supplier Technology. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, in the event Supplier either: (i) develops Improved Technology or other technological advances or changes to Supplier’s systems or software, and such technology, advances, or changes are used to provide services to other Supplier customers that are receiving services that are the same or substantially similar to the Services; or (ii) develops new or enhanced services, software, tools, products or methodologies to be offered to such customers, Supplier shall, to the extent permitted by Supplier’s contracts with such customers with respect to confidentiality and intellectual property obligations: (A) offer Advanta the opportunity to gain from such new technologies at commercially agreed terms pursuant to Article 16, after it has been tested; and (B) even if Advanta declines the foregoing opportunity, offer Advanta such Improved Technology on mutually agreed terms.
     3.4 Knowledge Sharing. On forty-five (45) days advance written notice from Advanta, Supplier shall: (a) explain to Advanta how the Services are being provided, and how the Services are going to be, or are proposed to be, provided in the future; (b) explain to Advanta how the Systems function and should be operated; and (c) provide to Advanta at Advanta’s cost such training and documentation as may be necessary to enable Advanta and its designees to understand, operate, and provide, as applicable, the Systems and Services during or after the Term.
     3.5 Information Technology Architecture-No Shared Environment. Prior to the SOW Effective Date for the first Pilot, Advanta and Supplier will procure and implement the necessary technology, including hardware, software and software licenses) to provide the Services in the SOWs set forth in Attachment 3 and shall perform all other tasks to implement the information technology architecture in accordance with Attachment 3, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing. It is agreed between the Parties that Pilots that commence prior to April 1, 2007 will be running on a shared environment as set forth in Attachment 3. Supplier shall not migrate or relocate any of the Services or any of Advanta’s Confidential Information to a shared hardware or software environment without Advanta’s prior written approval, in its sole discretion, and if such approval is granted, Supplier shall ensure the security of such Services and/or Advanta Confidential Information.
     3.6 Allocation of Resources. In the event any Force Majeure Event or disaster causes Supplier to allocate limited resources between or among Supplier, Supplier’s Affiliates and customers, Advanta and the Service Recipients, and/or any third party, such allocation shall be as per the agreed Disaster Recovery Plan as applicable as set forth in each SOW.
     3.7 Policy and Procedures Manuals.
          a. For each SOW, within no less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Launch Date for the relevant Pilot SOW or SOW, unless the Parties agree to use Advanta’s existing policies and procedures manual(s) in any instance, Supplier shall deliver to Advanta for review and comment a draft policy and procedures manual that generally describes the activities Supplier proposes to undertake in order to provide the Services set forth in the applicable SOW, including, where appropriate, those direction, supervision, monitoring, quality assurance,

staffing, reporting, planning, and oversight activities normally undertaken in connection with services similar to such Services. Each draft policy and procedures manual shall include: (i) a detailed description of how Supplier shall perform the applicable Services; (ii) a detailed description of the Equipment and Software that will be used to provide the applicable Services; (iii) further detailed information regarding the applicable Services, including operations manuals, user guides, forms of Service Level reports, call lists, “root cause analysis” procedures, escalation procedures, emergency procedures, and requests for approvals or information; and (iv) any other items requested by Advanta. Advanta shall provide all necessary and reasonable support and information to Supplier for Supplier for creation and finalization of the Policy and Procedures Manual.

Attachment 4 and as set forth under the applicable SOW and otherwise under this Agreement (the “Service Levels”). Supplier shall perform all Services with promptness and diligence, in a workmanlike manner, and in accordance with the Service Levels. Advanta may establish new Service Levels at any time, provided, that in the event appropriate metrics do not exist for the new Service Levels requested by Advanta, the Parties shall: (a) adopt Service Level metrics based on Advanta’s most recent twelve (12) month historical performance in the United States, (b) adopt Service Level metrics based on the most recent twelve (12) month historical performance of Supplier, if Supplier has performed the new Service Levels for Advanta for a twelve (12) month period; or (c) if no historical Advanta or Supplier twelve (12) month performance metrics are available for the new Service Levels, then the Parties shall look to Payment Card Industry Standards to set Service Level metrics. If a new Service Level is added without available historical Advanta or Supplier performance metrics, after a ninety (90) day evaluation period, the Operating Committee shall review the application of the new Service Level metric and implement mutually agreed adjustments. The Parties shall review such new Service Level metrics on a quarterly basis and implement revisions as mutually agreed.

          b. Supplier acknowledges that the quality of the Services can and will be improved during the Term, and that the Service Levels shall be enhanced periodically in recognition of such anticipated improvement. Beginning within three (3) months after the first SOW Effective Date and, thereafter, at least annually, the Operating Committee shall periodically: (i) review the Service Levels and the performance data collected and reported by Supplier hereunder; (ii) modify the Service Levels to reflect (A) the higher performance levels actually attained by Supplier, (B) any improved performance capabilities associated with advances in the technologies and methods available to Supplier and (C) Payment Card Industry Standards and (iii) to the extent deemed reasonable and appropriate by the Parties, add new

Service Levels to permit further measurement or monitoring of the accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness, cost-effectiveness, and/or productivity of the Services. To the extent new Service Levels are added by the Operating Committee, in the event appropriate metrics do not exist for the new Service Levels the Operating Committee shall: (a) adopt Service Level metrics based on Advanta’s most recent twelve (12) month historical performance in the United States, (b) adopt Service Level metrics based on the most recent twelve (12) month historical performance of Supplier, if Supplier has performed the new Service Level for Advanta for a twelve (12) month period; or (c) if no historical Advanta or Supplier twelve (12) month performance metrics are available for the new Service Levels, then the Operating Committee shall look to Payment Card Industry Standards to set Service Level metrics. If a new Service Level is added without available historical Advanta or Supplier performance metrics, after a ninety (90) day evaluation period, the Operating Committee shall review the application of the new Service Level metric and implement mutually agreed adjustments. Supplier shall improve the quality of the Services to meet or exceed the enhanced Service Levels described in this Section 5.3, at no additional charge to Advanta, unless agreed otherwise.

               i. At any time during the Initial Term, if Supplier believes that its cost of providing the Services under the Customer Service and Collections SOWs, respectively, can be reduced due to Supplier’s continuous improvements in the level and efficiency of performance of the Services through process reengineering, technical improvement or otherwise, Supplier shall prepare a written proposal to Advanta describing and quantifying such projected cost reductions and improvements in the level and efficiency of performance gains and setting forth a suggested metric or methodology for calculating the gains (an “Improvement Proposal”).
               ii. If Advanta approves an Improvement Proposal, after ninety (90) days have elapsed from the date of implementation of the approved Improvement Proposal, the Operations Committee shall evaluate and verify actual productivity improvements against Supplier’s forecasted gains included in the Improvement Proposal using the approved metric or as otherwise agreed. In the event the Operations Committee identifies and quantifies productivity improvements that have been achieved, the reduction in Fees shall be separately listed on Supplier’s monthly invoice as achieved productivity improvements for Advanta.
               iii. Every ninety (90) days, the Operations Committee shall review Supplier’s performance and determine whether the productivity improvements under each approved Improvement Proposal have continued and whether the Guaranteed Productivity Improvements has been achieved. The Operations Committee will track the continued quantified

productivity improvements reflected in a reduction of Fees and adjust Supplier’s performance record as appropriate to reflect reductions in net productivity improvements as appropriate. The cumulative quantified productivity improvements from all Improvement Proposals will continue to be separately listed on Supplier’s monthly invoice as achieved productivity improvements for Advanta. Once the cumulative productivity improvements have equaled the Guaranteed Productivity Improvements, Advanta shall share continued productivity improvements that are tracked and verified by the Operations Committee for the remainder of the Term as set forth in Attachment 8.

****** — Denotes material that has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.


 

          a. Pass-Through Expenses. “Pass-Through Expenses” are charges to be paid either directly by Advanta, or through Supplier on an “out-of-pocket expense” basis. Pass —Through Expenses shall include the costs for the Supplier purchased Dedicated Equipment and Software set forth on Attachment 6 and the costs for travel and hospitality services Supplier will be providing Advanta employees visiting India, such as transportation to and from the airport, hotel and Supplier facilities, supplying a cell phone with international calling service to the US, hotel accommodations and emergency medical care. Any other Pass-Through Expenses shall be set forth in each SOW or otherwise approved in advance and in writing by Advanta.
               i. If the Parties agree that a particular Pass-Through Expense is to be paid by Advanta directly, Supplier shall promptly provide Advanta with the original third-party invoice for such expense together with a confirmatory statement that Supplier has reviewed the invoiced charges and made a good faith determination of which charges are proper and valid and should be paid by Advanta.
               ii. For all Pass-Through Expenses not paid by Advanta directly, Supplier shall: (A) review the invoiced charges and make a good faith determination of which charges are proper and valid and should be paid; (B) provide Advanta with a reasonable opportunity to review the invoice to confirm Supplier’s determination; and (C) upon receipt of Advanta’s written notice that the charges are acceptable, pay the amounts due and invoice Advanta therefore in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
          b. Minimization of Pass-Through Expenses. Supplier shall use reasonable efforts to minimize all Pass-Through Expenses. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any services or materials paid for on a Pass-Through Expense basis Advanta reserves the right to: (i) obtain such services or materials directly from a third party; (ii) designate the third party source for such services or materials; (iii) designate the particular services or materials (e.g., equipment make and model) that Supplier shall obtain; (iv) require Supplier to identify and consider multiple sources for such services or materials or to conduct a competitive procurement; and (v) review and approve the Pass-Through Expenses for such services or materials prior to Supplier entering into any agreement for such services or materials.
          c. Incidental Expenses. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement: (i) expenses that are expected to be incurred in performing the Services (including, e.g., local travel and lodging in India for Supplier employees, and routine document reproduction and shipping internal between Advanta and Supplier, and routine long-distance telephone internal between Advanta and Supplier) are already included in the Fees; and (ii) therefore, such Supplier or Supplier Agent expenses shall not be separately reimbursable by or invoiced to Advanta hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, travel and lodging expenses for Transition Services shall be paid by Advanta in accordance with Attachment 5.
     12.7 Disputed Payments. Advanta may withhold payment of any invoice or portion thereof that Advanta disputes in good faith. If an invoice includes both disputed and undisputed charges, Advanta shall pay all undisputed items in accordance with this Article 12 and the

19


****** — Denotes material that has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.


 

applicable SOW, and may withhold payment of the disputed charges in accordance with this Section 12.7. If Advanta has already paid a disputed charge (i.e., if Advanta elects, after paying a particular charge, to dispute the charge), Advanta may set-off the disputed charge against other charges owed by Advanta hereunder. Advanta shall notify Supplier in writing on or before the date that any amount is so withheld (whether in respect of a dispute on a current invoice or as a set-off) and describe, in reasonable detail, the reason for such withholding. Advanta and Supplier shall diligently pursue an expedited resolution of such dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 28. Neither the failure to dispute any Fees or amounts prior to payment nor the failure to withhold any amount shall constitute, operate, or be construed as a waiver of any right Advanta may otherwise have to dispute any Fee or amount or recover any amount previously paid.
     12.8 Accountability. Supplier shall maintain, and shall cause the Supplier Agents to maintain complete and accurate records of and supporting documentation for the amounts billable to and payments made by Advanta hereunder, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States applied on a consistent basis. Supplier agrees to provide Advanta with documentation and other information with respect to each invoice as may be reasonably requested by Advanta to verify accuracy and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Advanta and its authorized agents and representatives shall be granted access to such records by Supplier for purposes of audit during normal business hours during the Term and during any additional period for which Supplier is required to maintain such records.
     12.9 Cost Reductions. From time to time, Advanta may request that the Parties work together through the Steering Committee to identify ways to achieve reductions in the cost of service delivery and corresponding reductions in the Fees to be paid by Advanta, by modifying or reducing the nature or scope of the Services to be performed by Supplier, the applicable Service Levels, or other contract requirements. If requested by Advanta, Supplier shall promptly prepare and present to the Steering Committee a detailed proposal identifying all viable means of achieving the desired reductions without adversely impacting business objectives or requirements identified by Advanta. In preparing such a proposal, Supplier shall give due consideration to any means of achieving such reductions proposed by Advanta. The Steering Committee shall not be obligated to accept or implement any such proposal, and Supplier shall not be obligated to implement any change that affects the terms of this Agreement, unless and until such change is reflected in a written amendment to this Agreement.

Supplier shall also be responsible for any import, export, sales, use, excise, value-added, services, or consumption tax and other taxes, surcharges, cesses, fees, levies and duties, including those imposed by Indian Governmental Authorities, that are assessed on the provision of the Services as a whole, or on any particular Service(s) or parts thereof by the jurisdictions from which Supplier is providing such Services. Advanta shall be responsible for any import, export, sales, use excise, value-added, services or consumption tax imposed by any jurisdiction in which Advanta is located or otherwise receives the Services, including without limitation such taxes imposed with respect to Services performed onsite at Advanta facilities. In the event that any new import, export, sales, use, excise, value added, services, consumption, or other taxes, surcharges, cesses, fees, levies and duties, including those imposed by Indian Governmental Authorities, are assessed on the provision of any of the Services in the future, the Party responsible for such taxes under the previous sentences of this Section 13.2 shall be responsible for the payment of such new or additional taxes.
     13.3 Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other to enable each to more accurately determine its own tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible. Each Party shall provide and make available to the other any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state or out-of-country sales or use of equipment, materials, or services, and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by the other Party.
     13.4 Claim Settlement. Supplier shall promptly notify Advanta of, and assist Advanta in coordinating the response to and settlement of, any claim for taxes asserted by applicable Governmental Authorities for which Advanta may be responsible hereunder, it being understood that with respect to any claim arising out of a form or return signed by either Party, such Party shall have the right to elect to control the response to and settlement of the claim, but the other Party shall have all rights to participate in the responses and settlements that are appropriate to its potential responsibilities or liabilities. If Advanta requests Supplier to challenge the imposition of any tax, Advanta shall reimburse Supplier for the pre-approved reasonable legal fees and pre-approved expenses incurred directly by Supplier in providing such assistance. Advanta shall be entitled to any tax refunds or rebates granted to the extent such refunds or rebates are of taxes that were paid or to be paid by Advanta.
     13.5 Withholding Taxes. Supplier shall provide any documentation (e.g., Form W-9, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, etc.) required or reasonably requested by Advanta to enable it to make payments under the Agreement without any deduction or withholding for or on the account of any tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an applicable taxing authority shall determine that withholding taxes are applicable to any such payments, Supplier shall be responsible for such payments.

15. BENCHMARKING.
     15.1 Benchmarked Services. Beginning after the first (1st) anniversary of a SOW Effective Date, Advanta may, at any time not more than annually, initiate a benchmark analysis of the costs, performance, quality, resource utilization, and charges of and for the Services or any portion thereof (such Services, the “Benchmarked Services”, and such analysis, the “Benchmark Analysis”). Advanta shall, in good faith, select and contract with an independent benchmarking entity (the “Benchmarker”) to perform the Benchmark Analysis. All third party costs of each Benchmark Analysis shall be borne by Advanta. All results of any Benchmark Analysis, and any materials created pursuant to the Benchmark Analysis, shall be deemed Advanta’s Confidential Information and property.
     15.2 Procedure. The Benchmarker shall execute an appropriately protective confidentiality agreement in favor of each of the Parties. The Benchmarker shall perform the Benchmark Analysis in accordance with the Benchmarker’s documented procedures (as modified herein), which shall be provided to the Parties prior to the start of the Benchmark Analysis. The Benchmarker shall be instructed to use its professional judgment as to the appropriate processes and methodologies to be applied as part of the Benchmark Analysis; provided that if the Parties agree on specific directions, processes, or methodologies to be used by the Benchmarker that are different from the Benchmarker’s documented procedures, the Benchmarker shall be provided such directions, processes, and methodologies, and shall be instructed to comply therewith in performing the Benchmark Analysis.
     15.3 Representative Sample; Benchmark Analysis. For purposes of the Benchmark Analysis, the Benchmarker shall compare the costs, performance, quality, resource utilization, and charges of and for the Benchmarked Services to the costs, performance, quality, resource utilization, and charges of and for similar services as performed by a representative sample of well-managed organizations engaged in providing financial services (the “Representative Sample”). The Benchmarker shall select the Representative Sample from among entities: (a) identified by the Benchmarker; and (b) identified by a Party and approved by the Benchmarker. The Benchmarker shall conduct its Benchmark Analysis as promptly as is prudent under the circumstances, and shall normalize the data used to perform the Benchmark Analysis to accommodate, geographic location of the Services, differences in volume of services, economies of scale, scope of services, workload and complexity factors (including operating environment), service levels, financing or payment streams, appropriate overhead, duration and nature of the contractual commitment, contractual terms, conditions and allocation of risk, productivity commitments, quality, service levels, amount of investment made by the service provider in the customer’s equipment and personnel and other pertinent factors to ensure the unique factors of each relationship are taken into account by the Benchmarker.
     15.4 Benchmarking Results. The Benchmarker shall issue a confidential, preliminary written report to the Parties reflecting its Benchmark Analysis findings. The Parties shall review the preliminary report and provide any comments in writing. The Benchmarker shall be

instructed to consider any such comments received and, after such consideration and making any adjustments that it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, issue a final written report of its finding and conclusions, which final report shall be deemed Advanta’s Confidential Information and property. Based upon the final results of the Benchmark Analysis, Supplier shall cooperate with Advanta to investigate variances, if any, and to take corrective action to respond to any deficiencies; provided that if such results show that the Fees paid by Advanta are ******. Any dispute as to such deficiencies, variances, or reduction shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 29.
16. SUPPLIER CHANGE CONTROL.
     16.1 General Requirements. The Parties agree that only Advanta may initiate a request to change the Services and that Supplier shall accommodate such change request in accordance with this Article 16 provided, however, that each Party may initiate a request to change how the Services are delivered to Advanta under this Agreement. Supplier shall ensure that all changes to the Services (including changes to the Equipment and Software used to provide the Services) are approved in advance by Advanta in writing and are implemented to Advanta’s satisfaction. With respect to such changes, Supplier shall comply with the following change control requirements:
          a. Prior to using any Software or Equipment to provide the Services which had not theretofore been used to provide the Services, Supplier shall verify that the Software or Equipment, as applicable, has been properly installed, is in good working order, is operating in accordance with its specifications, and is performing in a consistently reliable manner with no defects, interruptions, or recurring problems.
          b. Supplier shall not, and shall cause the Supplier Agents not to, make any of the following changes without first obtaining Advanta’s approval, which approval Advanta may withhold in its sole discretion: (i) any change adversely affecting or that may adversely affect the efficiency, function, or performance of the Services; (ii) any change that could or would increase the Fees or any other Advanta charges, costs, or fees, hereunder or otherwise; (iii) any change inconsistent with the architecture, standards, or strategic direction specified by Advanta; or (iv) any change impacting the manner in which Advanta conducts its business or operations, which impact Advanta considers in its sole discretion to be adverse. In the event Supplier has been unable, after making best efforts, to contact an appropriate Advanta Authorized Representative to obtain Advanta’s approval for a temporary emergency change, Supplier may make such temporary emergency change; provided that Supplier shall work diligently both to remedy the circumstance that caused the need for such emergency change and to return the affected systems or materials to their pre-change condition. Supplier shall document and promptly report all such temporary emergency changes to Advanta, which changes then shall be subject to Advanta’s approval hereunder.
          c. Supplier shall move any Software from development and test environments to production environments in a controlled manner, using the Advanta Information Technology Development Methodology (which shall be set forth in the applicable Policy and

23


****** — Denotes material that has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.


 

Procedures Manual), to ensure that no changes are introduced into any such programs during such activities. Supplier shall ensure that it is continuously and fully capable of restoring all Software and environments to the prior (i.e., pre-move) state until such Software has been both established as fully operational and approved by Advanta in writing.
     16.2 Change Control Procedures.
          a. The change control procedures set forth in this Section 16.2 (the “Change Control Procedures”) shall detail how the Parties shall comply with the requirements set forth in this Article 16 and otherwise control changes to how the Services are delivered to Advanta under this Agreement. The Change Control Procedures shall govern all Services provided under each SOW and Pilot SOW, provided, however, that in the event that a proposed change to Services does not: (i) materially impact Service Levels, (ii) increase Fees or otherwise result in materially increased costs to Advanta, (iii) cause a violation of Laws or the Advanta Regulatory Requirements, (iv) negatively impact Advanta processes and procedures, (v) change the location of the Supplier Facilities, or (vi) affects Advanta’s rights under this Agreement with respect to intellectual property, then Supplier shall not be required to follow the Change Control Procedures and its sole obligation shall be to notify Advanta of such proposed change to the Services, provide information reasonably necessary for Advanta to evaluate such proposed change (including specifying any additional costs to Advanta), and obtain Advanta’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
          b. To propose a change to the delivery of the Services, a Party’s General Program Manager shall, at such proposing Party’s cost, deliver a written proposal (a “Change Order Proposal”) to the other Party’s General Program Manager specifying (i) the proposed change, (ii) the objective or purpose of such change, (iii) the requirements and specifications of the deliverables, if any, to be delivered pursuant to such change, (iv) the requested prioritization and schedule for such change, and (v) the cost impact of such change.
          c. Within ten (10) business days following receipt of the Change Order Proposal, Advanta and Supplier shall, in good faith, meet (either by telephone or in person) to review and discuss the scope and nature of the Change Order Proposal, the availability of Supplier personnel, expertise and resources to provide such change and the time period in which such change will be implemented. Within ten (10) business days after such meeting, Supplier shall, at its own cost unless otherwise agreed, prepare and deliver to Advanta a written assessment of the proposal (the “Change Assessment”) (i) describing any changes in products, services, assignment of personnel and other resources that Supplier believes will be required, (ii) specifying the costs for the Change Order and specify whether there will be an increase or decrease in the Fees (including efficiencies gained and reductions in overall cost of the Service) resulting from such change, (iii) specifying how the proposed change would be implemented, (iv) describing the effect, if any, such change would have on this Agreement, (v) estimating all resources required to implement such change, (vi) describing the delivery risks and associated risk mitigation plans, (vii) describing the impact on policies and procedures, and (viii) providing such other information as may be relevant to the proposed change. To the extent that a proposed change is of such magnitude or complexity that it is not feasible for Supplier to produce a

24


****** — Denotes material that has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.


 

detailed Change Assessment within ten (10) business days, Supplier shall prepare and deliver to Advanta a summary Change Assessment outlining such details regarding the prospective change as Supplier can ascertain within five (5) business days, and the Parties shall agree upon a schedule for the production of a more detailed Change Assessment.
          d. Advanta shall review the Change Assessment and respond within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the Change Assessment, indicating whether Advanta desires Supplier to implement the change pursuant to the Change Assessment. Upon the agreement of both Parties, the Parties will execute a change order (a “Change Order”) based upon such Change Assessment and the Policies and Procedures Manual will be updated accordingly. All Change Orders must be approved in writing by both Advanta and Supplier before work on the proposed change commences.
     16.3 System Changes. All material changes to the operating environment of either Party, which changes may affect the Services (each, a “System Change”), shall be subject to the Change Control Procedures. In the event that Supplier wishes to make any System Change, Supplier shall perform a comparison, at a reasonable and mutually-agreed level of detail, between the amount of resources required by such Software to perform a representative sample of the processing then currently being performed for Advanta (a) immediately prior to the System Change and (b) immediately after the System Change. Advanta shall not be required to pay for increased resource usage due to a System Change; provided that if, following a System Change, Supplier can demonstrate (using the same representative sample of processing described in the foregoing sentence) that a portion of such increased resource usage is a direct result of increased Advanta use and not from the System Change, Advanta shall only be required to pay for such portion of increased usage in accordance with the terms and condition so of this Agreement. On a quarterly basis, each Party shall prepare a rolling quarterly “look ahead” schedule for ongoing and planned System Changes for the next three (3) months.
     16.4 Information Technology Standards. The responsibility for establishing the architecture and standards of Advanta and the Service Recipients, and all related strategic and technical matters, shall at all times remain with Advanta. Supplier, in performing the Services, shall conform to and shall support such architecture and standards and other matters, including by modifying the Services as and to the extent necessary to conform thereto. Any approved changes to the Services required for such conformance shall be implemented in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 16.
17. SUPPLIER AGENTS.
     17.1 Supplier Personnel.
          a. Qualifications and Training. Throughout the Term, Supplier shall ensure that an adequate number of Supplier and Supplier Subcontractor personnel are assigned to perform the Services, and that such personnel are properly educated, trained, screened and fully qualified to perform the Services they are to perform.

legal implications and consequences of data and privacy breach, antifraud guidance and controls, as well as information on Advanta’s business and culture; provided that such orientation program must be approved in writing by Advanta in advance of such training. Certain minimum qualifications, including minimum education levels, background checks and screening and any additional minimum training requirements may be set forth in the applicable SOW. Supplier shall ensure that all Supplier and Supplier Subcontractor personnel performing the Services are dedicated solely to Advanta. In no event shall Supplier provide any Services using Supplier and Supplier Subcontractor personnel who are shared with any third party unless Supplier receives the prior written consent of Advanta, which Advanta may withhold in its sole discretion. Advanta shall be permitted to audit Supplier’s and Supplier Subcontractors’ compliance with this Article 17 upon written notice to Supplier at any time during the Term.
          b. Turnover. Advanta and Supplier agree that it is in their best interests to ensure that the turnover rate of Supplier and Supplier Subcontractor personnel performing Services hereunder (the “Turnover Rate”) remains low throughout the Term. Accordingly, on a monthly basis, Supplier shall provide Advanta with all relevant data concerning such Turnover Rate, and shall meet with Advanta to discuss the reasons for the Turnover Rate and the impact, if any, thereof on the Services. If requested by Advanta, Supplier shall submit to Advanta a proposal for reducing the Turnover Rate to an acceptable level and, subject to Advanta’s approval, shall implement such proposal. Supplier shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and the Supplier Subcontractors shall not, transfer or re-assign any manager-level or higher personnel performing Services for Advanta to perform services for any other credit card provider or credit card servicer for a period of six (6) months following such personnel’s performance of Services for Advanta.
          c. Replacement. In the event Advanta raises any concerns as to the performance of a member of a given Supplier or Supplier Subcontractor personnel, Supplier shall, subject to requirements of Laws, react appropriately to alleviate such concerns.
          d. Procedures.

Throughout the Term, Supplier shall also maintain records of in-service training and assignments for all Supplier and Supplier Subcontractor personnel. Upon Advanta’s request and subject to requirements of Laws, Supplier shall promptly provide Advanta with copies of any of the records described in this Section 17.1.

          c. Replacement. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, upon Advanta’s request Supplier shall replace any Supplier Subcontractor with a different third party subcontractor (or shall perform the applicable subcontracted Services itself), if Advanta determines in its sole discretion that the continued use of such Supplier Subcontractor is not in Advanta’s best interests, subject to payment by it of any commercially reasonable wind down and or termination costs.

Restrictions placed on use of Confidential Information in this Agreement shall not preclude Advanta’s use of any information that Advanta has the right to exploit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement including Supplier-Provided Materials. In addition, a Party shall not be considered to have breached its obligations under this Article 20 by disclosing Confidential Information of the other Party if and to the extent required to respond to the request of a Governmental Authority to satisfy a legal or regulatory requirement; provided that, upon receiving any such request and to the extent that it may do so without violating any Law or Card Association Rules, such Party immediately and

     20.3 Obligations.
          a. Each Party’s Confidential Information shall remain the property of such Party, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Advanta and Supplier shall each use at least the same degree of care, but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent disclosing to third parties the Confidential Information of the other Party as such Party employs to avoid unauthorized disclosure, publication, or dissemination of its own information of a similar nature and similar importance; provided that the Parties may disclose such information: (i) to entities or persons performing Services required hereunder solely where (A) use of such entity or person is expressly authorized under this Agreement, (B) such disclosure is necessary to the performance of such Services, and (C) the entity or persons to which the information is disclosed agrees in writing (1) to assume the nondisclosure, nonuse, and other obligations of the same scope and at least as stringent as those described in this Article 21, and (2) not to solicit Advanta’s customers in any manner; (ii) to directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and advisors of the Parties and their Affiliates who need to know such information, provided they are required to treat such information as confidential; and (iii) to potential purchasers of the Parties or their Affiliates, provided they are required to treat such information as confidential.
          b. Notwithstanding Section 20.3(a) or any other provision of this Agreement: (i) Supplier shall not release any Customer Data or any other Confidential Information of Advanta to any third party without the express prior written consent of Advanta; (ii) Advanta’s Confidential Information shall not be utilized or disclosed by Supplier for any purpose other than that of rendering the Services hereunder; (iii) Supplier shall not be deemed to possess, and shall not assert, any ownership interest, lien, or other right or interest against or to Advanta Confidential Information; and (iv) Supplier shall ensure that no Advanta’s Confidential Information is sold, rented, assigned, leased, or otherwise disposed of to third parties by Supplier or Supplier Agents, or commercially exploited by or on behalf of Supplier or any Supplier Agents.
          c.

     20.6 Injunctive Relief. Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, including in the case of Advanta the Customer Data, is unique property of extremely high value to the disclosing Party, and that the unauthorized use or disclosure thereof would cause disclosing Party irreparable harm that could not be compensated by monetary damages. Accordingly, receiving Party agrees that disclosing Party shall be entitled to receive, from any court of competent jurisdiction, injunctive and preliminary relief to prevent or remedy any actual or threatened unauthorized use or disclosure of disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, without being required to show harm.

Any notice sent concerning a security breach shall be subject to the prior written approval of Advanta.

Without limiting its other obligations set forth herein, Supplier, at the request of Advanta or to satisfy Card Association Rules, shall cause a security audit of those of its systems that affect Advanta in connection with the Services (a “Security Audit”) to be conducted at least once every twelve (12) months (except as provided in Section 21.3 and this Section 21.4) during the Term. The vulnerability scan portion of each Security Audit shall be conducted by an internationally recognized third party engaged in the business of performing such vulnerability scans which shall be at the expense of Advanta, which expense shall be reimbursed by the Supplier if the Audit reveals a material security risk. The remainder of each Security Audit shall be conducted jointly by the Parties and shall include a comprehensive review of vulnerabilities of Supplier’s systems. At least thirty (30) days prior to each Security Audit, the Parties shall meet and consult reasonably and in good faith in an effort to agree on the minimum tests to be conducted in the Security Audit.

Each Disaster Recovery Plan must ensure that there will be no significant interruption of the Services in the event of a disaster or outage affecting Supplier’s Facilities. Advanta and its regulators may request reasonable changes to any Disaster Recovery Plan and such requests shall be addressed promptly by Supplier.

In the event Advanta determines that another form of independently audited quality certification (such as independently audited and certified ISO9001-2000 accreditation or a comprehensively implemented Six Sigma program) offered by Supplier is adequate for Advanta to satisfy its Sarbanes-Oxley Requirements or other reporting requirements, then Supplier will, upon Advanta’s request, provide copies of such documentation relating to such quality certification that Advanta deems relevant. In the event that a Type II SAS 70 audit is conducted for Supplier with respect to its overall provision of services to customers, Supplier will be responsible for all costs.

To the extent the expense is not payable by Supplier pursuant to the preceding sentence, Advanta shall bear the expense of any such compliance that is required by any Advanta Regulatory Requirement or audit requirement relating to Advanta’s business or necessary due to Advanta’s noncompliance with any Advanta Regulatory Requirement or audit requirement imposed on Advanta.

Supplier shall make available on a timely basis any information reasonably required to conduct an audit hereunder, and shall assist Advanta and its auditors and other designees with such audits as necessary.

Due to the impact any termination of this Agreement would have on Advanta’s business, Advanta’s failure to perform its responsibilities set forth in this Agreement (other than as provided in this Section 26.3) shall not be grounds for termination by Supplier.

If any Services, any materials made available hereunder by Supplier or Supplier Agents to provide the Services, or any Deliverables or other materials prepared by or on behalf of Supplier in the course of performing the Services, becomes (or in Supplier’s reasonable opinion is likely to become) the subject of an infringement or misappropriation claim or proceeding, Supplier shall, in addition to fulfilling its indemnification obligations in accordance with this Article 27 and in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Advanta under this Agreement, promptly take the following actions at no additional charge to Advanta: (a) secure the right to continue using the Service, material or Deliverable; or (b) if unable to do so, replace or modify the Service, material or Deliverable to make it non-infringing; provided that any such replacement or modification shall not degrade the performance or quality of the Service, material or Deliverable, the Services as a whole, or Supplier’s performance under this Agreement; or (c) solely for materials made available hereunder by Supplier or Supplier Agents to provide the Services and solely if neither of the remedies provided for in Section 27.2(a) or (b) are available to Supplier, remove the affected material from the Services in such a manner that shall not degrade the performance or quality of the Services. In the event that Supplier elects the option set forth in Section 27.2(c), the Fees shall promptly be equitably reduced to reflect the removal of such material, and if in Advanta’s reasonable opinion such removal is material to all or any portion of the remaining Services, Advanta may terminate such portion of the affected Services or the entire Agreement, as the case may be, immediately upon notice to Supplier and without penalty.

After receipt by a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action or proceeding involving a claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party will seek indemnification pursuant to this Article 27, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim in writing. No failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that it can demonstrate that it was materially prejudiced by such failure. Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party relating to any such claim, but no later than thirty (30) days before the date on which any response to a complaint or summons is due, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party, in writing, whether or not the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and settlement of that claim (a “Notice of Election”).

          b. Procedure Following Notice of Election. If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Notice of Election relating to any claim pursuant to this Article 27 within the required notice period and such Notice of Election indicates that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and settlement of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party unless such claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such claim if it does not acknowledge fully its obligations to the Indemnified Party or contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations therefore, or if counsel for the Indemnified Party reasonably advises the Indemnified Party that there are issues which raise legal conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, then in each case the Indemnified Party may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to it, assume control of the defense and/or settle the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to direct the defense. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (i) in the case of any claim which seeks injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (ii) where the Indemnifying Party does not acknowledge fully its obligations to the Indemnified Party or contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations therefore, or (iii) if counsel for the Indemnified Party reasonably advises the Indemnified Party that there are issues which raise legal conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party agrees not to settle any such claim for which it is indemnifying the Indemnified Party without first obtaining the Indemnified Party’s consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
          c. Procedure Where No Notice of Election Is Delivered. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Notice of Election relating to a claim subject to indemnification under this Article 27 within the required notice period, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend and/or settle the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in any such defense and/or settlement, and shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for all such costs and expenses.

a.   to disclose and hereby assign to the Company for its exclusive ownership, on a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual basis all my rights, title and interest including Intellectual Property Rights arising in any work developed or conceived by me solely or jointly with others, in any medium or format now known or later developed during the period and in the course of my employment (1) that are along the lines of the businesses, work or investigations of the Company or its affiliates or its customers, to which my employment relates or as to which I may receive or have access to information due to my employment, or (2) that result from, are correlated to or are suggested by any work which I may do for the Company or its customers, or (3) that are otherwise made through the use of Company time, facilities, tools, processes, information or materials.
“Intellectual Property Rights” means all right, title and interest to intellectual and industrial property rights recognized in any jurisdiction including any inventions, technical or business innovations, business methods or processes, (whether or not patentable), copyrights, neighbouring rights, mask work rights, moral rights, trademarks, trade names, service marks, domain names, industrial designs, trade secrets including any processes, techniques, technology, algorithms, software, know-how, methodology, toolkit, tools, module, manual, documentation, data or database and including any enhancement, improvement, modification, adaptation or derivative work thereof, whether registered or unregistered (including applications for, and registrations, extensions, renewals, and re-issuances of, the foregoing).
b.   I agree not to assert at any time, and otherwise waive and hereby assign to the Company (on the above terms), any “moral rights” that I may have in copyrightable works developed by me solely or jointly with others during the period and in the course of my employment with the Company. I further waive all and any rights that I may have under the laws of publicity, personality, privacy and defamation related to or in any aspect of the Intellectual Property. I hereby confirm that non-exercise by the Company of any right assigned or waived hereunder, for any period of time, shall not result in a lapse of the said assignment or waiver.
c.   to execute all necessary papers and otherwise provide proper assistance (at the Company’s expense) during and subsequent to my employment, to enable the company to obtain for itself or its affiliates and nominees, patents, copyrights, trade marks, domain names or other legal protection or recognition for such Intellectual Property in any and all countries.
 
d.   to make or maintain for the Company adequate and current written records of all such Intellectual Property. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a license or right to use any Intellectual Property or Confidential information given to me by the Company, except for the express purpose of the employment.

g.   not to challenge at any time the title, ownership and rights of the Company to such Intellectual Property or Confidential Information. I agree that if the Company does not exercise any rights assigned to it for any period of time, it shall not amount to a lapse of such rights.

Discharge of my undertakings in this agreement shall be an obligation of my executors, administrators or other legal representatives or assigns.
I represent that, except as stated below, I have no agreements with or obligations to others in conflict with the foregoing.

When in doubt, you should assume that information or data is secret or confidential unless or until determined otherwise. Without limitation, examples of information which may be of a secret or confidential nature are: financial information; business information, plans and operations; processes; specific transactions; all materials and information relating to clients, customers, consultants, contractors or employees; marketing and technical plans; strategies; analyses; forecasts; Intellectual Property; HR and payroll records; information systems; personally identifiable data and/or information concerning a party’s existing and future products and services. For further information, you should consult your components assigned legal counsel. Because of the sensitive nature of the information that I may become aware of as a result of my employment, the intent of the parties is that these provisions be interpreted as broadly as possible to protect Confidential Information.

GUARANTY
     THIS GUARANTY (“Guaranty”), dated as of March ___, 2007, is made by Genpact Global Holdings SICAR S.a.r.l., a Grand Duchy of Luxembourg investment company in risk capital in the form of a private limited liability company (société d’investissement en capital à risque sous forme de société à responsabilité limitée), registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register under the number B 104 548 (“Guarantor”), in favor of Advanta Bank Corp., a Utah industrial bank (“Advanta”).
     Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, by and between Advanta and Genpact International LLC, Hungarian Branch, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (“Supplier”), dated as of the date hereof (“Master Services Agreement’), Supplier has agreed to provide to Advanta and its affiliates certain services (collectively, “Services”) from time to time. Section 30.22 of the Master Services Agreement requires Guarantor to execute a guaranty agreement in favor of Advanta as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Master Services Agreement. Accordingly, the parties hereto desire that Guarantor guarantee all payment obligations of Supplier to Advanta, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, successors, and assigns (together “Advanta Parties”) under the Master Services Agreement as set forth herein. Guarantor, as the ultimate corporate parent of Supplier, will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Supplier’s provision of Services to Advanta (which benefits are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor).
     Accordingly, in satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 30.22 of the Master Services Agreement, and for and in consideration of the agreements therein and herein, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
     1. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Advanta the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) of all the indebtedness, indemnities, liabilities and other payment obligations of Supplier to the Advanta Parties in respect of the provision of Services by Supplier to Advanta, including, without limitation, any amounts due and payable by Supplier to any Advanta Party arising under, out of or in connection with the Master Services Agreement or any other agreements or contracts governing the provision of the Services or made, delivered or given in connection therewith (each a “Contract” and, collectively, “Contracts”), and any and all interest, taxes, fees, charges, costs, expenses and other amounts chargeable to Supplier under any Contract, and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against Supplier of any action, case or proceeding involving insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation, winding up or dissolution under any applicable laws with respect thereto (an “Insolvency Proceeding”). The terms “indebtedness,” “indemnities,’ “liabilities” and “obligations” are used herein in their most comprehensive sense and include any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities, now existing or hereafter arising, regardless of by what instrument, agreement, contract or entry in any Advanta Party’s accounts they may be evidenced, or whether evidenced by any instrument, agreement, contract or entry in any Advanta Party’s accounts, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether recovery upon such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (the “Bankruptcy

Code”) or other applicable law and exclude, for the avoidance of doubt, the provision of any Services. The foregoing indebtedness, indemnities, liabilities and other obligations of Supplier, and all other indebtedness, indemnities, liabilities and obligations to be paid by Guarantor in connection with this Guaranty (including any and all amounts due under Section 11 hereof), shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Obligations.”
     2. Liability of Guarantor. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance which might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, Guarantor agrees as follows: (i) Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon any Advanta Party’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against Supplier or any other Person, or against any collateral for any Obligations; (ii) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectibility; (iii) Advanta may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of a default notwithstanding any dispute between Advanta and Supplier with respect to the existence of such default; (iv) Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and (v) Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by, nor shall Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, (A) any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to Supplier, Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person; (B) any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of Supplier, any other guarantor or any other Person for any Obligations due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Obligations; (C) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of Supplier, Guarantor or any other guarantor or Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of Supplier, Guarantor, any other guarantor or other Person; (D) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Advanta’s interests in and rights under this Guaranty, including Advanta’s right to receive payment of the Obligations, or any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Advanta’s interests in and to any collateral securing the Obligations; (E) any claim, defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than that of prior performance, that Supplier, Guarantor, any other guarantor or other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute or deliver any Contract or this Guaranty or any other document related thereto; (F) any direction of application of payment to Supplier, Guarantor, any other guarantor or other Person; and (G) Advanta’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any bankruptcy case related to the Obligations.
     3. Consents. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from Guarantor: (i) the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Contract may be extended or changed, including by an increase or decrease in the interest rate on any Obligation or any fee or other amount payable under such Contract, by a modification or renewal of any Contract or otherwise; (ii) the time for Supplier’s performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Contract may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as Advanta may deem proper; (iii) Advanta may discharge or release, in whole or in part, any other

guarantor or any other Person liable for the payment and performance of all or any part of the Obligations, and may permit or consent to any such action or any result of such action, and Advanta shall not be liable to Guarantor for any failure to collect or enforce payment of the Obligations; (iv) Advanta may take and hold security of any kind, at any time, as collateral for the Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; (v) Advanta may request and accept other guaranties of the Obligations and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend any such guaranty and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action; and (vi) Advanta may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege granted by any Contract, or otherwise available to Advanta, with respect to the Obligations and any collateral therefor, even if the exercise of such right, remedy, power or privilege affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of Guarantor against Supplier; all as Advanta may deem advisable, and all without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting this Guaranty.
     4. Waivers. (a) Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert: (i) any right to require Advanta to proceed against Supplier, any other guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any collateral or other security held for the Obligations (except to the extent required by applicable law), to give notice of or institute any public or private sale, foreclosure, or other disposition of any collateral or security for the Obligations, including, without limitation, to comply with applicable provisions of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) or any equivalent provision of any other applicable law in connection with the sale, foreclosure, or other disposition of any collateral or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Advanta whatsoever; (ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Obligations; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of Supplier, Guarantor or any other Person; (iv) any defense based upon Advanta’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations; (v) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims; (vi) any other defenses available to Supplier under applicable law governing the provision of any Services to Advanta; and (viii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Guaranty. (b) Guarantor waives any and all notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Obligations, or the reliance by Advanta upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. The Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty. Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon Supplier, Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Obligations. (c) The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the obligations of Supplier and any other guarantor and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, a separate action or actions may be brought against Guarantor, whether or not Supplier or any such other guarantor is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Supplier or any such other guarantor. (d) Guarantor shall not have

3.


****** — Denotes material that has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.


 

any right to require Advanta to obtain or disclose any information with respect to (i) the financial condition or character of Supplier or the ability of Supplier to pay and perform the Obligations; (ii) the Obligations; (iii) any collateral or other security for any or all of the Obligations; (iv) the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Obligations; (v) any action or inaction on the part of Advanta or any other Person; or (vi) any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever.
     5. Subrogation. Until the Obligations shall be satisfied in full, Guarantor shall not have, and shall not directly or indirectly exercise, (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment hereunder or otherwise, (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Guaranty, or (iii) any other right which it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) which could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of Advanta as against Supplier or other guarantors, whether in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when any Obligations are outstanding, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Advanta and shall forthwith be paid to Advanta to be credited and applied to the Obligations.
     6. Continuing Guaranty. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing guaranty relating to any Obligations, including Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Obligations exist. This Guaranty shall continue in effect and be binding upon Guarantor until all Obligations under the Contracts have been duly paid in full or otherwise discharged, and any dispute in relation to a claim hereunder has been resolved by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and any amounts due to be paid under this Guaranty as a consequence of such judgment have been paid in full. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Obligations by or on behalf of Supplier shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Advanta, whether as a result of any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise. To the extent any payment is rescinded or restored, the Obligations shall be revived in full force and effect without reduction or discharge for such payment.
     7. Payments. Guarantor hereby agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Guaranty and not in limitation of any other right which Advanta or any other Person may have against Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Supplier to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under §362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), Guarantor shall forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Advanta, an amount equal to the amount of the Obligations then due to Advanta and unpaid (including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to Advanta, would have accrued on such Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Advanta for such interest in any such Insolvency Proceeding). All payments made by Guarantor hereunder may be applied in such order as Advanta shall elect. Guarantor shall make each payment hereunder, without deduction (whether for taxes or otherwise), set-off or counterclaim, on the day when due in same day or immediately available funds, and in U.S. dollars.
