D.

E. The term of the 1994 Renewal Agreement expires on December 11, 2004, and Bancard and Certegy now desire to modify, restate and extend the Term of the 1994 Renewal Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby mutually agreed by and between the parties as follows: -1- 1.0 Modification and Restatement. By this Agreement, the parties hereby modify and otherwise restate the terms of the 1994 Renewal Agreement. As of the Effective Date hereof, the provisions of this Agreement supersede the provisions of the 1994 Renewal Agreement and are incorporated into each of the agreements for provision of the Program Services between Bancard and each Financial Institution (the "Financial Services Agreement"). Extension of Term. The term of the 1994 Renewal Agreement, as hereby modified 2.0 and restated, shall expire on March 31, 2008 (the "Renewal Term"). Services. 3.0 3.1 Description.

If a Financial Institution wishes Certegy to provide data pertaining to that Financial Institution to third party vendors, that Financial Institution shall provide written authorization to Certegy and indemnification for claims pertaining to such data transfer and the performance of any such vendors, in a form acceptable to Certegy. In addition, Certegy may require any such vendors to enter into written agreements with Certegy governing the transfer of such data. Termination. 4.0 By Bancard. Bancard may terminate this Renewal Agreement: 4.1 in the event of the loss or termination, for any reason, of Certegy's (a) right or ability to provide the Program Services; (b) subject to sections 4.9 herein, in the event Certegy commits any material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of Certegy's receipt of notice of the breach. A "Material Failure" as defined in section 9.0 herein and an "Adverse Event" as defined in section 4.9 herein, shall each constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Certegy within the meaning and intent of this section; -2- (c) upon any affirmative act of insolvency by VISA or MasterCard or affiliated networks or upon the filing by VISA or MasterCard or affiliated networks of any action under any reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law, or upon the appointment of any receiver, trustee or conservator to take possession of the properties of VISA or MasterCard or affiliated networks; provided, however, that such an act or event by or relating to VISA or MasterCard or affiliated networks, but not to both, shall not terminate this Agreement with regard to the other, provided Certegy remains able to provide the Program Services to other card associations or networks; (d) to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the filing by Certegy of any action under any reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law, or upon the appointment of any receiver, trustee or conservator to take possession of its properties. By Certegy. Certegy may terminate this Agreement: 4.2 (a) in the event Bancard commits any material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of Bancard's receipt of notice of the breach; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the filing by Bancard of any action under any reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law, or upon the appointment of any receiver, trustee or conservator to take possession of its properties. (c) upon any affirmative act of insolvency by VISA or MasterCard or affiliated networks or upon the filing by VISA or MasterCard or affiliated networks of any action under any reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law, or upon the appointment of any receiver, trustee or conservator to take possession of the properties of VISA or MasterCard or affiliated networks; provided, however, that such an act or event by or relating to VISA or MasterCard or affiliated networks, but not to both, shall not terminate this Agreement with regard to the other, provided Certegy remains able to provide the Program Services to other card associations or networks; 4.3 In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to section 4.1(a), (b), (c) or (d), or in the event of expiration of this Agreement governed by section 20.2 herein, neither Bancard nor Financial Institutions shall be required to pay to Certegy the Termination Fees (defined in section 4.4 below) or any other fees or charges other than those which may have become due for Program Services rendered hereunder prior to the termination or expiration. 4.4 In the event of termination by any Financial institution of the Program Services on Schedule "A", "B", "C", "E", "F", "G", "J", "K" and/or "L" with respect to all or substantially all of its accounts falling under that Program Service, for any reason whatsoever other than upon termination or expiration of this Agreement due to circumstances described in section 4.3 above, Bancard shall pay to Certegy the following termination fees (the "Termination Fees"): the greater of (i) the Deconversion Fees set forth in the applicable Schedule for the Program Services terminated or (ii) the sum of (a) an amount equal to the last six (6) months fees, other than Pass -3- Through Fees, for the Program Services terminated, other than for Program Services under Schedule "C" and (b) if the Schedule "C" Program Services are terminated, that Financial Institution's fees, other than Pass Through Fees, for Schedule "C" Services for the preceding three (3)months. Notwithstanding the above, in the event a Financial Institution only terminates the Services in Schedule "C" and retains the other Program Services being provided under other Schedules, then neither Bancard nor such Financial Institution shall be required to pay Certegy any Termination Fees under Schedule C. For each termination of Program Services by a Financial Institution, Certegy shall provide Bancard a written accounting of the Fees to be assessed, if any, including an explanation of the Fee calculation. Notwithstanding the assessment and collection of the above amounts, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the legal and equitable remedies, which would otherwise be available to Certegy in the event of termination of this Agreement following a material breach of this Agreement by Bancard. 4.5 Cooperation. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to section 4.1, Certegy will use its best efforts to assist Bancard in arranging for access to the Program Services on substantially the same terms as are provided in this Agreement so that Financial Institutions may continue receiving similar services without substantial interruption. Certegy and Bancard will cooperate to effect an orderly conversion of accounts and data to a successor card processing institution. As requested by Certegy, Bancard shall cooperate to affect the reclamation of cards, checks and drafts issued in connection with the Program Services. Except as otherwise provided in section 4.9 or 20.4 herein, within fourteen (14) days after the termination of this Agreement, Bancard shall send to each Financial Institution via first class U.S. mail a letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3. 4.6 Rights of Parties to Funds. Upon expiration and non-renewal, or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the respective rights of the parties to funds in any and every account over which more than one party has signature authority shall be governed by the provisions of section 7.0 hereof. 4.7 Notifications. Upon the occurrence of any event noted in sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, the party first having knowledge of such event shall notify the other. Bancard shall require each Financial Institution desiring to terminate the Program Services for reasons other than those in section 4.1 to provide Certegy not less than six (6) months advance written notice. 4.8 Prohibited Solicitation. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Bancard pursuant to section 4.1(b), Certegy agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months from the effective date of termination, Certegy, its subsidiaries and affiliates, on their own behalf or as program administrator for the Financial Institution Benefit Association ("FIBA") shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in prohibited solicitation ("Prohibited Solicitation") of Financial Institutions as customers of Certegy, its subsidiaries, affiliates, or as members of FIBA, or as customers of any other entity which is a customer of Certegy, its subsidiaries, affiliates, or is a member of FIBA, without the prior written approval of Bancard; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict (i) Certegy's right to do business with entities which are competitors of Bancard, and (ii) such competitors' rights to solicit Financial Institutions as customers. -4- "Prohibited Solicitation" within the meaning of this section means initiating any written or oral communication with Financial Institutions, directly or indirectly, which is, or may be construed by Financial Institution as, a direct or indirect request or inducement to Financial Institutions to continue to receive Program Services from Certegy, its subsidiaries, affiliates, or as a member of FIBA or any other entity which is a customer of Certegy, its subsidiaries, affiliates, or is a member of FIBA, following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Bancard. Prohibited Solicitation shall include, but not be limited to, invitations to educational or other seminars which Certegy, its subsidiaries, affiliates or FIBA sponsor, or in which it or they participate; promotional or other information concerning Certegy, its subsidiaries, affiliates or FIBA, including financial information; and general information concerning services and prices. Prohibited Solicitation shall not include changes in services or prices as permitted under this Agreement and information needed by Financial Institutions in order for Certegy to effect the deconversion of Financial Institutions. 4.9 Adverse Events. In the event that during the Renewal Term Bancard reasonably determines that specific acts or events ("Adverse Events") by Certegy or its subsidiaries or affiliates, have adversely affected, or would adversely affect, to a substantial degree, (i) the goodwill and reputation of Bancard with members of the Independent Community Bankers of America ("ICBA"), and (ii) Bancard's business, and that such adverse effect would continue if Bancard continued its relationship with Certegy under this Agreement, Bancard shall notify Certegy of its intention to terminate this Agreement. In such event Certegy and Bancard shall make every good faith effort to mutually overcome the effects of the Adverse Event. If the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of Bancard within sixty (60) days after such notice, the issue of whether an Adverse Event has occurred shall be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to the provisions of section 18 hereof. It is agreed, however, that this section 4.9 cannot be used to terminate this Agreement because Certegy has exercised its rights against a Financial Institution or taken action on behalf of Bancard against a Financial Institution pursuant to Certegy's rights under this Agreement. If Certegy accepts Bancard's notice of its desire to terminate, or if the arbitrators determine that an Adverse Event has occurred, then the effective date of termination shall be one (1) year from the date of such notice or from the date on which the arbitration award is rendered, as the case may be, or such other date as the parties mutually agree. Within fourteen (14) days after Certegy's acceptance of Bancard's notice or the rendering of the arbitration award, as the case may be, Bancard shall send to each Financial Institution via first class U.S. mail a letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3. An Adverse Event under this section 4.9 shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement within the meaning and intent of section 4.1(b) herein. Intentionally Left Blank. 5.0 Fees. 6.0 6.1 Scheduled Fees. In consideration for provision of the Program Services to Financial Institutions by Certegy, Bancard shall be responsible for all Financial Institutions paying -5- to Certegy the fees set forth in Schedules "A", "B", "C", "E", "G", "J", "K", "L", and "I" of Exhibit 1 attached to this Agreement (the "Scheduled Fees"). The Scheduled Fees shall be effective as of the dates shown on each Schedule and shall remain in effect until changed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Bancard shall indemnify and hold Certegy harmless from any and all losses incurred as the result of a Financial Institution's failure or refusal to pay Certegy any uncontested Scheduled Fees. 6.2 Settlement of Fees. For those Program Services for which Certegy settles daily for Program Members, processing fees shall be settled each banking day for the applicable transactions and shall be payable by deduction from the applicable Financial Institution's daily settlement amount. Fees for all other Program Services shall be invoiced monthly, payable ten (10) days after the invoice date. In no event will any sums due Certegy under section 4.3 or 4.4 hereof be deducted by Certegy from any settlement account, BIN, ICA or otherwise. 6.3 Bancard's Financial Responsibility. As to Certegy, as agent for the Financial Institutions, Bancard assumes financial responsibility for all VISA and MasterCard transactions processed into and out of its, or a Financial Institution's, Base Identification Number (BIN) Account and its, or a Financial Institution's, Interbank Card Association (ICA) Account including, but not limited to, counterfeit transactions and fraudulent transactions. Bancard shall indemnify Certegy for any and all losses Certegy incurs related to such transactions, which losses were not caused by Certegy's actions or omissions in performance of the Program Services. Certegy is expressly prohibited from using Bancard's, or a Financial Institution's, BIN or ICA Account for the benefit of any person or organization other than Financial Institutions in the Bancard Program, or for any purpose other than processing transactions for such Financial Institutions, without the prior express written consent of the applicable VISA or MasterCard principal member. 6.4 Time Frame for Merchant Settlement. Certegy shall remit to the Settlement Account the amount of all VISA and MasterCard merchant transactions from each Financial Institution no more than four (4) business days following Certegy's receipt of such merchant VISA and MasterCard transactions from a Financial Institution, except for delays resulting from those events provided for in section 34.0 herein. 6.5 Fee Increases. Certegy may make a one-time adjustment to the Scheduled Fees at any time during the final twenty-four (24) months of the Renewal Term in accordance with the requirements of section 6.5.1 below; provided, however, that (i) no such Fee increase may be made if a "Material Failure" which has not been cured, as defined in section 9.1 below, has occurred during the four (4) calendar quarters immediately preceding Certegy's notice of proposed Fee increase; and (ii) Certegy may implement adjustments of those fees over which Certegy has no control ("Pass Through Fees") and which are identified as such in the Scheduled Fees, at any time during the Renewal Term of this Agreement. Certegy shall notify Bancard of any Pass Through Fee increase at least thirty (30) days prior to the date Certegy implements such increase. 6.5.1 Certegy may implement increases of the Scheduled Fees by a percentage which is equal to or less than the sum of (i) the amount by which the Percentage Increase (defined in section 6.5.4 below) exceeds two percent (2%), but is not more than six percent (6%); -6- and (ii) one-half of the amount by which the Percentage Increase exceeds six percent (6%). Certegy shall notify Bancard of any such fee increase at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date Certegy implements such increase. 6.5.2 The following definitions shall apply to this section 6.5: "Index" shall mean the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (1967 = 100), specified "All Items", relating to Tampa, Florida and issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. If the Index in its form as of the Effective Date hereof is discontinued, or if the basis on which it is now calculated shall be revised, the parties shall make an appropriate conversion to such revised Index on the basis of conversion factors published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics; if such conversion factors are not published, either party may request the Bureau of Labor Statistics to provide, when needed, an appropriate conversion or adjustment which shall be applicable thereafter; or if the Bureau of Labor Statistics shall be unable or unwilling to provide such appropriate conversion or adjustment, then the parties shall, in good faith, agree on a suitable substitute for the Index. 6.5.3 "Base Index" shall mean the Index established for the month in which the prices on the Schedule that Certegy seeks to adjusted became effective; and (ii) for any subsequent increase, the Index in the month that was the Comparative Month in the last applicable increase. 6.5.4 "Percentage Increase" shall mean the percentage equal to the fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Index in the Comparative Month less the Base Index, and the denominator of which shall be the Base Index. 6.5.5 "Comparative Month" shall mean the most recent month for which the Index has been published prior to Certegy providing notice of the increase, which Comparative Month shall be deemed the month of the last increase for purposes of establishing the new "Base Index" for any future increase. 6.6 Most Favored. If during the Renewal Term, Certegy signs a new or renewal contract for services similar to Credit Card Program Services and Merchant Program Services with any other association of financial institutions which has approximately the same or comparable Credit Card and Merchant transaction volumes for approximately the same or comparable group of services and levels of support as the Credit Card and Merchant Program Services and support being provided to the Bancard Program, then within fifteen (15) business days after that contract is signed or made public (in the case of a contract which is required to be publicly disclosed), Certegy shall give Bancard written notice of that fact and shall provide a schedule of the basic terms that will govern the credit card and merchant services to be provided and the rates, including any provisions for rate increases or decreases, to be charged to the members of that other association (the "Rate Structure"). Bancard shall have the right to elect to have the Rate Structure substituted for Bancard's then current rates and terms, which election it may make only by giving written notice to Certegy within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Rate Structure from Certegy; provided, however, that Certegy then shall be entitled to provide the Program Services on the same basic terms under which they are being provided to the other association. If Bancard elects the other association's Rate -7- Structure, it shall become effective on a reasonable date to be mutually agreed by the parties, which date shall be at least thirty (30) days from Bancard's election and which shall be the first calendar day of a month. Other Services. Certegy may perform services for Bancard or the Financial 6.7 Institutions which are not included in this Agreement at prices to be mutually agreed by Certegy and Bancard prior to the performance of such services, and shall be documented by means of a written amendment to this Agreement. Certegy shall not be responsible or obligated for any services Bancard provides to Financial Institutions which are not included in this Agreement including, but not limited to, advertising, research and development, taxes allocated to property owned by Bancard, and insurance. Program Clearing, Settlement and Payment Accounts. 7.0 7.1 Program Clearing Account. As agent for Financial Institutions, Bancard shall maintain a demand deposit account (the "Program Clearing Account" or "PCA") for daily settlement of transactions, charges and reimbursements. 7.1.1 Access. Certegy may access the PCA for the following purposes: daily settlement of all VISA and MasterCard cardholder (a) amounts due to/from VISA and MasterCard; and daily settlement of fees due Certegy for the transactions (b) previously processed; and (c) monthly settlement of fees and charges due Certegy, other than processing fees, such access permitted not less than ten (10) days after the invoicing of such fees and charges to Bancard; and (d) daily settlement of all dues, fees, assessments and other charges due Certegy for, without limitation, the combined warning bulletin fees, interchange fees, VISA and/or MasterCard Association fines or other charges, if any, and assessments; and (e) daily payment of any interest due Certegy for funds Certegy paid to VISA or MasterCard on behalf of Bancard that Bancard did not have available to Certegy in the PCA ("PCA Shortfall"). Bancard shall pay Certegy interest at the base rate charged by the clearing bank for the Bancard Program, plus one percent (1%) for all PCA Shortfall; and daily investment for Bancard's benefit of surplus funds in the (f) PCA. 7.1.2 Minimum Balance. For Credit Card Program Services and Debit Card Program Services, Bancard shall maintain at all times in the PCA a minimum balance ("Minimum Balance") equivalent to the product of the following equation: -8- [The anticipated average aggregate cardholder base for all Financial Institutions for the next ninety (90) days or two hundred (200), whichever is greater] x 2.5 (anticipated transactions per cardholder account per month) x 52 (anticipated average transaction amount) / 21.5 (average business days per month) x 3. The elements of the above equation shall be adjusted quarterly by Certegy, or more often if deemed necessary by Certegy and Bancard, based on the actual volume of the previous month and seasonal factors, in all cases with advance written notice to Bancard,. Settlement. 7.2 7.2.1 Settlement Account. Bancard shall require each Financial Institution to maintain at all times a demand deposit account (the "Settlement Account" or "SA") for the purpose of replenishing the PCA so that an amount no less than each Financial Institution's pro rata share of the Minimum Balance is maintained at all times. Bancard and/or Certegy through the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") or wire transfer at Bancard's expense, may access each SA on a daily basis to transfer to the PCA a sum equivalent to the product of the following equation: [Financial Institution's anticipated cardholder base for the next ninety (90) days or two hundred (200), whichever is greater] x 2.5 (anticipated transactions per cardholder account per month) x 52 (anticipated average transaction amount) / 21.5 (average business days per month) x 3 (average number of the days required for clearance of transfers from Financial Institutions into the PCA). The elements of the above equation shall be adjusted quarterly by Certegy, or more often if deemed necessary by Certegy and Bancard, based on the actual volume of the previous month and seasonal factors, in all cases with advance written notice to Bancard and each Financial Institution. Bancard shall require each Financial Institution to maintain at all times in the SA an amount equal to the product of the equation expressed above in this section 7.4, as adjusted from time to time. 7.2.2 Settlement to Financial Institutions processing on BASE2000. Financial Institutions receiving Certegy Services under Schedules "K" or "L" shall each establish a Settlement Account in the Financial Institution's name to enable VISA and/or MasterCard to settle transactions, dues, fees, assessments and other amounts directly to the Financial Institution Settlement Account. The Financial Institution shall maintain sufficient balances in the Settlement Account to enable such VISA and/or MasterCard settlements. Neither Bancard nor Certegy shall bear any responsibility or liability for funding of the Financial Institution's Settlement Account. 7.3 Payment Account. As agent for Financial Institutions, Bancard shall establish a demand deposit account for deposit of payments made to Bancard and Financial Institutions ("Payment Account"). Certegy may access such Payment Account to deposit payments received from cardholders and to transfer sums to the appropriate Financial Institution Settlement Account. -9- 7.4 Reporting. Certegy shall furnish to Bancard on a monthly basis (a) detailed information including bank statements and reconciliation statements for the PCA; (b) a monthly statement of each day's interchange fees; and (c) such data as may be reasonably requested by Bancard and/or any Financial Institution. Certegy also shall furnish to each Financial Institution daily statements of settlements with VISA, MasterCard and Certegy. 7.5 Audit. Bancard shall have the right to receive an annual Statement from Certegy's outside certified public accounting firm, at Certegy's expense, in the form such Statement is normally prepared for Certegy's regular audits, which confirms that the firm has examined Certegy's operations and that the reports furnished to Bancard and Financial Institutions are accurate and based upon generally accepted accounting principles. Additional Obligations of Financial Institutions. Each Financial Institution is bound 8.0 by the following provisions as of the Effective Date of this Agreement: 8.1 Right to Refuse Merchants. Financial Institution shall not enroll merchants for participation in the VISA and/or MasterCard systems through Bancard or Certegy if such merchants are within the categories of merchants designated by Bancard and/or Certegy from time to time as "high-risk merchants". Bancard or Certegy shall have the right to refuse to enroll, and may terminate the enrollment of, any merchant, if it determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that enrolling, or failing to terminate, such merchant would create excessive risk for Bancard and/or Certegy. 8.2 Right to Refuse Transactions. In the event that either Bancard or Certegy determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the risks related to the credit card sales drafts introduced by any merchant enrolled by any Financial Institution are excessive, then Bancard or Certegy may refuse to accept and process such transactions. Bancard or Certegy shall promptly notify Financial Institution of its refusal to accept and process transactions from any such merchant. 8.3 Card Association Requirements. Financial Institution shall comply with all VISA and/or MasterCard and Network requirements for enrolling new merchants including, but not limited to, the performance of a credit check and/or other financial background investigation; a physical inspection of the merchant's place of business; and an investigation to determine whether the merchant previously has been expelled from the VISA and/or MasterCard systems by another Financial Institution for fraud, suspected fraud or failure to meet its financial responsibilities. Financial Institution shall examine the sales drafts contained in sealed merchant deposits before forwarding such deposits to Certegy in order to detect possible fraud and other irregularities. 8.4 Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Financial Institution shall indemnify and hold harmless Certegy and Bancard, and their respective stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, fees, including reasonable attorney fees, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (the "Losses"), which may be suffered by, imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Parties in any way relating to, or arising -10- out of, any merchant deposit of VISA or MasterCard credit card or debit card sales drafts ("Sales Drafts") which arise from transactions from merchants enrolled by Financial Institution or an agent institution of Financial Institution for the Merchant Program Services provided pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Financial Services Agreement, including counterfeit or fraudulent transactions, credits processed by a merchant, or any chargebacks of Sales Drafts. Certegy shall be a third-party beneficiary of the indemnities in this section, and if Certegy brings any lawsuit, arbitration or other action against Financial Institution to enforce the provisions of this section, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in connection with the action. 8.5 Right to Utilize Certain Funds. Bancard and/or Certegy shall have the right to utilize any amounts payable to Financial Institution as a result of transactions in the MasterCard and/or VISA systems in payment of, or to reimburse Bancard or Certegy for, chargebacks or any other amounts payable by, or any other Losses resulting from, the activities of any merchants enrolled by Financial Institution or an agent institution of Financial Institution. Financial Institution acknowledges that Certegy is a third party beneficiary of all Bancard rights in the Financial Services Agreement, and that Certegy is entitled to exercise all rights given to it pursuant to this section to, among other things, apply incoming amounts to offset or recover amounts due on fraudulent transactions introduced into the MasterCard and/or VISA systems by merchants enrolled by Financial Institution or an agent institution of Financial Institution. Financial Institution specifically agrees that the rights of Bancard and Certegy and the obligations of Financial Institution hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 9.0 Quality Control Standards. 9.1 Compliance Requirements. Certegy shall maintain the Quality Control Standards set forth in Exhibit 2 attached hereto (the "Standards"), which shall apply as appropriate and as indicated on Exhibit 2, beginning on the Effective Date, to the Program Services on the Schedules to Exhibit 1. At the end of each calendar quarter, Certegy and Bancard shall review Certegy's performance for that quarter in light of the Standards. To facilitate such review, Certegy shall provide Bancard with internally generated monthly reports on which the review can be based, along with a certification by a Certegy officer verifying their accuracy. For purposes of measuring Certegy's compliance with the requirements of this section, the "Standards" designated as "material standards" shall be deemed to be "Material Standards" for the purposes of this Agreement. Certegy's failure to meet one or more Material Standards, or three (3) or more of the other Standards, in any calendar quarter, shall be deemed a "Material Failure." In the event of a Material Failure, Certegy shall take those steps necessary to cure that specific Material Failure within the thirty (30) day period following notice by Bancard to Certegy of the Material Failure. The test period to determine whether such cure has been accomplished shall be the thirty (30) day period following the thirty (30) day period for cure referred to above. In the event that the Material Failure has not been cured as evidenced by Certegy's reports thereon, subject to Bancard's right of inspection and audit, Certegy shall have committed a "material breach" of its obligations hereunder which has not been cured within the meaning and intent of section 4.1(b) hereof. -11- 9.2 Right to Audit. On reasonable notice during normal business hours, Bancard representatives shall have the right, at Bancard's expense, to inspect and audit information and records in Certegy's possession or control pertaining to Certegy's compliance with the Standards; provided that Certegy shall have the right to receive and comment on any report prepared by any representative of Bancard in connection with any such inspection or audit prior to its dissemination to Financial Institutions or other third parties. 9.3 Joint Review and New Card Processing Systems. Bancard and Certegy agree to review the Standards and make amendments as agreed. The parties jointly shall make reasonable modifications to the Standards when needed to apply to any new card processing system or platform implemented by Certegy during the Renewal Term.

Should Bancard request a change in any of the Program Services that would require modification of hardware or software utilized by Certegy, then Certegy and Bancard agree to negotiate whether and upon what terms and conditions such modifications shall be provided, if at all. Certegy reserves the right to make changes to the Program Services so long as Bancard will continue to be able to meet its obligations to Financial Institutions and their customers. 15.0 Government Inspection.

Should the Insurance Coverage, or any portion thereof, be involuntarily terminated or modified without the consent of Certegy, Certegy shall replace such terminated or modified portions of the Insurance Coverage prior to final termination or modification, or as soon thereafter as commercially possible. In the event of involuntary termination or modification, Certegy shall notify Bancard immediately, but in no event later than three (3) days following receipt of notice by the Chief Financial Officer of Certegy of the termination or modification. 16.4 Premium Expense not a Defense. It is expressly understood and agreed that premium expense shall not be a valid reason for Certegy's failure to maintain, renew, replace or selfinsure the Insurance Coverage. 16.5 Consent to Change Coverage. It is expressly understood and agreed that Certegy may not reduce the Limits below those stated above or discontinue or terminate the -15- Insurance Coverage for any reason without prior notice to, and the express written consent of, Bancard, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 17.0 Backup Provisions.

All disputes between the parties which are to be resolved by arbitration as provided hereunder, shall be conducted as hereinafter described.

Within ten (10) days thereafter the two arbitrators so appointed shall in good faith select a neutral third arbitrator; the three arbitrators so selected shall resolve the controversy. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon a neutral third arbitrator within the ten (10) day period, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its then existing commercial arbitration rules. If the other party shall refuse or neglect to appoint an arbitrator within the requisite thirty (30) day period, the arbitrator appointed by the initiating party shall be empowered to proceed to arbitrate and determine the fact or matter in controversy as the sole arbitrator, and his award in writing shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties. The arbitrators nominated or appointed hereunder shall not be parties or affiliates of a party, or associated with, or employed by, or have the status of, supplier of goods or services to a party or affiliate of a party. 18.2 The Proceedings. Prior to rendering their decision, the arbitrators shall afford each of the parties an opportunity, both orally and in writing, to present any relevant evidence and to present arguments in connection with the matter in arbitration; provided, however, that the formal rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings shall not apply; and further provided, that any party submitting written materials shall be required to deliver a copy of the same to the other party concurrently with the delivery thereof to the arbitrators, and such other party shall have the opportunity to submit a written reply, a copy of which will be delivered to the other party concurrently with the delivery thereof to the arbitrators. Oral argument shall take place only at a hearing before all of the arbitrators at which all parties are afforded a reasonable opportunity to be present and to be heard. -16- Unless the time is extended by a majority of the arbitrators, they shall submit their determination in writing within sixty (60) days after the third arbitrator is selected, or if only one arbitrator is acting, within sixty (60) days after the single arbitrator becomes empowered to act alone. If there are three arbitrators selected, as provided above, an award in writing signed by any two of them shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties. Any award made pursuant to arbitration may be entered as a judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction upon the application of any party to said arbitration. 18.3 Alternating Venues. If arbitration is required to resolve any disputes between the parties arising under or out of this Agreement, the proceedings to resolve the first such dispute shall be held in Tampa, Florida, the proceedings to resolve the second such dispute shall be held in Washington, D.C., and the proceedings to resolve any subsequent disputes shall alternate between Tampa, Florida and Washington, D.C. 18.4 Costs and Legal Fees. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses of arbitration, except that the fees, costs and expenses of the arbitrator(s) shall be equally divided.

In the event Bancard determines not to renew this Agreement, Bancard shall provide written notice thereof to Certegy on or before September 30, 2007. If this Agreement is not renewed and expires by its own terms, then the applicable provisions of sections 20.2 and 20.3 below shall apply. 20.2 Non-renewal for Failure to Comply with Standards Provisions. If Bancard does not renew this Agreement because of Certegy's failure to cure a Material Failure in accordance with the requirements of section 9.0 of this Agreement as evidenced by Certegy's reports thereon, subject to Bancard's inspection and audit ("Certegy Failure to Cure"), Certegy agrees that through March 31, 2009, Certegy, its subsidiaries and affiliates, on their own behalf or as program administrators for FIBA, shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in Prohibited Solicitation (as defined in section 4.8 of this Agreement) of Financial Institutions as customers of Certegy, its subsidiaries, -18- affiliates or as members of FIBA, or as customers of any other entity which is a customer of Certegy, its subsidiaries, affiliates or FIBA, without the prior written approval of Bancard; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict (i) Certegy's right to do business with entities which are competitors of Bancard; and (ii) such competitors' rights to solicit Financial Institutions as customers. 20.3 Non-renewal for Other Reasons. If Bancard does not renew this Agreement because of reasons other than a Certegy Failure to Cure, then Bancard shall not enter into a processing agreement with any other company without having first made an offer to Certegy to enter into an agreement on the same or better terms and conditions as such other company is offering to Bancard (the "Competitive Bid"). "Competitive Bid" shall mean each and every provision of the proposed agreement by the other company. The Competitive Bid shall be given to Certegy in writing with a copy of the terms and conditions such other company (which shall be named) is offering; provided, however, that such other company need not be named if such other company desires, or is obligated under applicable securities laws and regulations, to keep its identity confidential. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Competitive Bid from Bancard, Certegy may, at its option, elect to accept Bancard's offer and enter into an agreement with Bancard or may offer Bancard other terms and conditions ("Counter-Proposal") than those contained in the Competitive Bid and, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Counter-Proposal, Bancard may elect to enter into an agreement with Certegy. If the offer is not accepted by Certegy or if Certegy's Counter- Proposal is not accepted by Bancard, (i) Bancard may enter into an agreement with such other company in strict accordance with the Competitive Bid, and (ii) for the twelve (12) month period following the expiration and nonrenewal of the Agreement, Certegy, its subsidiaries and affiliates and FIBA, shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in Prohibited Solicitation (as defined in section 4.8 above) of Financial Institutions as customers of Certegy, its subsidiaries, affiliates or FIBA, or as customers of any other entity which is a customer of Certegy, its subsidiaries, affiliates or FIBA, without the prior written approval of Bancard; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict (i) Certegy's right to do business with entities which are competitors of Bancard, and (ii) such competitors' rights to solicit Financial Institutions as customers. 20.4 Non-renewal Letter to Financial Institutions.

A "Prohibited Solicitation" also shall not include the E-Banking Services or any other services provided by Certegy E-Banking. 21.0 Disposal of Records. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Certegy will dispose of the information and records pertaining to Bancard, Financial Institutions and -19- Financial Institutions' customers in any manner Certegy deems appropriate consistent with applicable VISA and/or MasterCard and federal government agencies' regulations, unless Bancard, prior to such expiration or termination, furnishes to Certegy written instructions for the disposition of such information and records at Bancard's expense. 22.0 Falcon Services. Certegy is party to an agreement with HNC Software, Inc. ("HNC"), in which Certegy has the right to offer HNC's proprietary transaction account fraud detection systems, commercially known as FalconTM and Falcon DebitTM (collectively, "Falcon"). Bancard hereby engages Certegy to provide the Falcon services ("Falcon Services") to all Financial Institutions receiving the Credit Card Program Services. Bancard shall require all Financial Institutions receiving the Credit Card Program Services to utilize Falcon through Certegy in conjunction with such Services. Financial Institutions receiving the Debit Card Program Services may also choose to receive the Falcon Services under the terms of this Agreement. 22.1. Falcon Fees. Bancard shall be responsible for either paying or for each Financial Institution paying, to Certegy, the fees for the Falcon Services (the "Falcon Fees"). 22.2. Responsibilities of Financial Institutions. As agent for each of the Financial Institutions, Bancard agrees as follows: 22.2.1 Each Financial Institution shall participate, via Certegy, in HNC's Fraud Control Consortium (the "Consortium"), a cooperative arrangement among credit and debit card issuers and HNC that permits HNC to collect and analyze data on credit and debit card fraud for the sole purpose of identifying fraud trends and fraudulent behavior. Bancard authorizes Certegy to provide to HNC information in its possession, and Bancard shall provide to Certegy or arrange for Certegy to receive, on a monthly basis, information from each Financial Institution requested from time to time by HNC, for use by HNC to update its fraud detection algorithms. Bancard understands and agrees that as a member of the Consortium making contributions of data for use by HNC, as requested by Certegy from time to time, is a requirement for use of Falcon. All Financial Institution data provided to the Consortium will be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in sections 11.0 and 22.8 of this Agreement. HNC and/or Certegy may make modifications and updates to Falcon, from time to time, in their sole discretion. 22.2.2 Each Financial Institution shall participate in periodic confidential surveys deemed necessary by Certegy to assess Falcon's performance. Subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, Bancard, on behalf of itself and all participating Financial Institutions, authorizes Certegy to provide to HNC any Financial Institution information deemed reasonably necessary by Certegy or HNC in connection with the operation of Falcon. 22.2.3 The parameters for operation of Falcon shall be determined from time to time by Certegy and HNC, as applicable, in their sole discretion, to attempt to improve the performance of Falcon. Examples of such parameters include, without limitation, minimum Falcon scores required to trigger an inquiry, prerequisites to a card block decision and/or initiation of contact by Certegy with Financial Institutions or cardholders. -20- 22.2.4 Bancard and each Financial Institution shall provide Certegy within 30 days of enrollment in Falcon, the names and corresponding valid telephone numbers for all of its cardholders, and authorize Certegy to contact those cardholders at any time for the purpose of confirming card transactions. On behalf of all such Financial Institutions, Bancard acknowledges that neither it, nor Certegy, will be able to contact Financial Institution's cardholders without valid telephone numbers, and each Financial Institution must use its best efforts to obtain and maintain the current telephone number on all of the files for all of its cardholders, upon request, and to assist Certegy in contacting cardholders. Bancard authorizes Certegy to contact Financial Institution cardholders as may be deemed necessary by Certegy in connection with the operation of Falcon, as well as to block transactions on cards at any time, regardless of whether Certegy has been able to communicate with the cardholder or Financial Institution prior to such block, all as contemplated by the then current Falcon operating procedures. However, while Certegy will use due care and commercially reasonable efforts in performing those functions, it does not guarantee that it will always take those actions and shall not be deemed responsible for failing to take those actions. Accordingly, Bancard shall arrange for each Financial Institution to always monitor its Falcon service reports to determine, as the final decision maker, whether Financial Institution should contact the cardholder and/or block the account. 22.2.5 Bancard and each Financial Institution shall comply with the requirements of this section and the current Falcon operating procedures, and as they may be from time to time amended. 22.3 Certegy's Responsibilities. 22.3.1 Certegy shall arrange for each Financial Institution to have access to the Falcon Services in connection with provision of the Program Services as provided herein. Certegy shall provide to Bancard and each Financial Institution its then-current copy of the Falcon operating procedures which shall include, but not be limited to: (i) the then- current description of Falcon; (ii) the operating hours of Certegy's customer service center for Falcon-related questions; and (iii) procedures for Financial Institutions to utilize the Falcon service. 22.3.2 Within approximately 15 days following each Financial Institution's enrollment, Certegy will commence building that Financial Institution's individual profile for each "Open Account". The profiling period will take approximately 60 to 90 days (the "Profiling Period"). Upon completion of the Profiling Period, Certegy will provide Bancard and the Financial Institution with notice of the date that Falcon will become operational for that Financial Institution (for each Financial Institution separately, the "Activation Date"). During the profiling period for each financial institution, prior to the Activation Date, potential fraudulent activity will not be routed to Certegy's fraud analysts for review. Potential fraudulent activity from financial institution's cardholders will be reviewed by Certegy only after the Activation Date for that financial institution. 22.3.3 Certegy shall maintain a customer service center to respond to telephone calls from Bancard and Financial Institutions regarding the Falcon service. -21- 22.3.4 Upon receipt of a Falcon scored transaction that is deemed by Certegy, in its sole discretion, as being questionable under Falcon, Certegy will twice attempt to contact the applicable Financial Institution's cardholder within a 24 hour period, as well as block transactions on a card at any time, regardless of whether Certegy has been able to communicate with the cardholder or Financial Institution prior to such block, as contemplated by the then current Falcon operating procedures and subject to subsection 22.4 of this Agreement. 22.4. Disclaimer of Liability. Neither Certegy, HNC nor Bancard shall be responsible for any losses, damages, or liabilities of any kind or nature, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or under any other theory, incurred by Financial Institutions, their agents, or any cardholders, caused by failures, inaccuracies or errors in Falcon's operation, failure of Falcon to detect fraudulent transactions or other claims associated with Falcon or the functions and services provided by Certegy, Bancard, or HNC with respect to the Falcon Services. In no event shall Certegy, Bancard, or HNC be liable for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages including, but not limited to, lost profits incurred by Financial Institutions, their agents, or any cardholders in connection with the Falcon Services. Financial Institutions shall indemnify and hold Certegy, Bancard and HNC harmless from any liability of any kind or nature, fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses resulting, directly or indirectly, from any claim by Financial Institution cardholders based upon the use of Falcon Services. Certegy, for itself and on behalf of Bancard and HNC, disclaims all warranties with respect to the Falcon Services provided pursuant to this section, both express and implied including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability and warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. The Falcon Services are provided "as is" with no warranties or representations by any party. 22.5. Ownership of Computer Programs and Related Documentation; Disposal of Records. All computer programs and related documentation used or supplied by Certegy and/or HNC to provide Bancard and Financial Institutions with access to Falcon are subject to the proprietary rights of Certegy and HNC respectively, as well as the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. This section shall in no way be construed to grant any right, license or authorization to Bancard or to any Financial Institution to use the computer programs and/or related documentation used or supplied by Certegy or HNC for any purpose except as permitted herein. 22.7 Trademark Usage. Bancard, on its own behalf and as agent for each Financial Institution, shall not utilize trademarks of either Certegy or HNC (the "Marks") without first receiving Certegy's prior written consent and identifying the Mark as owned by Certegy or HNC, as applicable. HNC's Marks include, without limitation, FalconTM, Falcon Debit TM, Falcon Expert Reason TM, ReporterTM and DeployNetTM. Bancard's and Financial Institution's use of the Marks shall be in accordance with Certegy's and HNC's trademark usage policies in effect from time to time, as applicable. Nothing contained herein shall give Bancard or any Financial Institution any interest in any Marks. 22.8 Confidentiality of Falcon. Bancard, on behalf of itself and all Financial Institutions, and Certegy, each agrees to hold in strictest confidence any information and material which is related to the other party's business, software systems or information and material which is designated as proprietary and confidential herein or otherwise, by any party in connection with the -22- Falcon Services. Such information shall be treated as Confidential Information. Neither party nor any Financial Institution shall use such Confidential Information of the other party other than for the specific purposes of the Falcon Service. Confidential Information shall also include information obtained by HNC directly from each Financial Institution, pursuant to Financial Institution's participation in the Consortium, through Bancard, or otherwise. Each party's obligations of confidentiality under this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Certegy and Bancard, for itself and each Financial Institution, agree: (a) Not to disclose or permit any other person or entity access to any Confidential Information, except that such disclosure or access shall be permitted to any employee, agent, representative or independent contractor of such party requiring access to the same in the course of his or her employment or services to the extent reasonably required to carry out the purposes of the Falcon Service; (b) To ensure that its employees, agents, representatives, and independent contractors who are given access to any Confidential Information of the other party are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are precluded from taking any action prohibited under section 11.0 herein; (c) Not to alter or remove any identification, copyright or proprietary rights notice which indicates the ownership of any part of any Confidential Information of another party; (d) To notify the other party promptly and in writing of the circumstances surrounding any possession, use or knowledge of any Confidential Information of the other party by any person or entity other than those authorized by this Agreement; and For purposes of this section 22.8 only, the term "Certegy" shall include both Certegy and HNC. Certegy represents and warrants to Bancard that, by the terms of its agreement with HNC, HNC is subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in this section 22.8. 22.9. Use of Falcon; Termination of Falcon Use. Bancard shall require each credit card issuing Financial Institution to use Falcon during the Renewal Term(s) of this Agreement. Certegy may terminate the Falcon Services and Financial Institutions' use of Falcon if Certegy's agreement with HNC is terminated for any reason, by providing written notice to Bancard and each Financial Institution utilizing Falcon under this Agreement. In such event, Certegy will use its best efforts to replace the Falcon Services with another provider on terms and conditions satisfactory to Bancard. 23.0 Special Programming. 23.1 During the Renewal Term, Certegy shall make programming time available to Bancard, at a maximum rate of 1,500 hours per year, cumulative to a maximum of 4,000 hours, to implement additional system features and functions (the "Modifications") to the Program Services -23- provided by Certegy to Financial Institutions. Certegy's duties under this section shall terminate in the event Bancard provides notice of nonrenewal pursuant to section 20.1. 23.2 Within 30 days after receiving written notice from Bancard requesting a Modification (the "Modification Request"), Certegy will provide written notice to Bancard regarding whether or not the Modification can be made. Any Modification Request should include a written description of the proposed Modification. 23.3 Certegy expressly reserves the right to assign any Modification for completion to the appropriate skill required. 23.4 No right, title, license or other interest is conveyed to Bancard as a result of or in the Modifications. The exclusive right of ownership, including industrial ownership and literary and artistic ownership, relating to the Certegy system and any Modification is, and shall remain, the exclusive property of Certegy. To the extent that Bancard may, under applicable law, be entitled to claim an ownership interest in the Modifications, Bancard assigns, transfers, grants, conveys, and relinquishes exclusively to Certegy, without the necessity of further consideration, all of its right, title and interest in the Modifications. 24.0 Users Group Meetings.
