subject to the following restrictions during the Restriction
Period:
a. WORLDWIDE
Customer shall not, directly or through third parties,

convey Source Materials to any entity unless Customer also
provides the source code for at least one product of
Customer's proprietary core banking, teller, origination or

Source Materials under terms no less protective of such
Source Materials than of Customer's proprietary software.
b. IN EMEA AND ASIA/PAC
Customer shall not, directly or through third parties
(including service bureaus): (i) use the Licensed Programs
or Customer Modifications to provide EFT Processing Services
with respect to any ATM's or POS devices located in EMEA or

if such contractor is a competitor of Euronet.
vii. Customer shall ensure that its agreements with Clients, Licensed
Service Bureaus and other third-parties (including
subcontractors, if any) protect the Licensed Programs, including
the Source Materials, and other Confidential Information
protected under this Agreement with at least the same degree of
care that Customer uses to protect Customer's like- programs,

of care.

upon written notice and at Customer's option, renew the Maintenance

maintenance shall have no effect upon the measurement of the
Restriction Period.
C. TAXES
Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing, all prices hereunder are
exclusive of local excise, sales, use, ad valorem, and similar taxes or duties.

capability to support the Services. In such case, each party shall be
responsible for all of its own costs associated with such capability, including
but not limited to, purchasing and maintaining its own equipment, line costs,
setting up and maintaining its own hardware ports and long-distance telephone
charges, if any.
C. Programming and software development services requested by Customer are
considered Support Services hereunder until the two (2) Man Years of Support

standard rates in addition to expenses, including reasonable travel expenses.

applicable rights to license the Licensed Programs and
Documentation, including all applicable Intellectual
Property rights inherent therein, and neither the license

which is incorporated in or an essential component of the

has not entered into any other agreement still in effect

hereunder.
B. REMEDIES
For any breach of the warranties contained in Sections 10.A.ii, iii and iv, the
following non-exclusive provisions shall apply:
i. FOR PROGRAMS. Euronet's obligation is to remedy any Program
Warranty breach as provided in the following subsections:
a. Customer must notify Euronet in writing within the
periods warranted of any breach of the Program
Warranties.
page 10
b. Euronet will (at no charge to Customer and not as part of
the two (2) Man Years of Support Services) correct and
repair any Critical Error in the Licensed Programs and/or
Update(s) ("Warranty Services").
c. The parties will utilize the process set forth in Exhibit F
for the Warranty Services.
d. If Customer notifies Euronet that the Customer suspects an
Critical Error, Euronet shall use reasonable diligence to
confirm the existence of such Critical Error at Euronet's
place of business and Euronet will promptly correct actual
Critical Errors discovered.
e. Except as set forth in Section 10.A.i. regarding
modifications not made by Euronet, NO work performed by
Euronet under the warranties provided herein shall not be
counted toward the two (2) Man Years of Support Services
described in Exhibit D. If it is ultimately determined that

the error shall count toward the two (2) Man Years of
Support Services; however, the time spent determining
whether a Critical Error exists shall not.
f. Customer will reasonably cooperate with Euronet in the
determination of solutions to all suspected Critical
Errors, including, but not limited to, supplying data
requested by Euronet, access to Customer equipment, and
implementation of Euronet-supplied fixes and data gathering
changes. Customer shall, at Euronet's reasonable request,
allow remote access to Customer's system via Internet or
Dial-Up modem to allow remote testing, diagnosis and
correction.
g. All suspected Critical Errors must be reported to Euronet
on a document acceptable to Euronet; provided, however that
failure of Customer to report the Critical Error on
Euronet's form shall not result in a denial of warranty
coverage unless (and then solely to the extent) such
failure causes prejudice to Euronet.
ii. FOR MEDIA
The replacement of defective media returned to Euronet within
ninety (90) days of the date of delivery to Customer.
iii. FOR SERVICES
The reperformance of the Services at no additional charge to
Customer. Such reperformance of the Services shall not be counted against

C. THE WARRANTIES ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
A. Except for obligations to make payments hereunder (including the remedies
provided set forth in 15.B.iii.a.) and except for Euronet's obligations set
forth in Section 12, each party's liability for any claim, cause of action or
liability, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise arising under or
related to this Agreement shall be limited to its direct damages, actually
incurred, and shall not exceed US$650,000 (six hundred and fifty thousand US
dollars).
page 11
B. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, FOR LOSS OF REVENUE
OR PROFITS OR FOR CLAIMS OR DEMANDS MADE BY THIRD PARTIES, EVEN IF THE PARTY WAS
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
C. Except as expressly provided herein, neither party, its agents or
employees shall be liable for any lost profits of the other party or any claims
or demands made against the other party by a third party.
D. Under no circumstances will Euronet be liable for damages to the extent
directly resulting from Customer Modifications or to the extent caused by
Customer's failure to install Euronet supplied Updates.
E. Customer acknowledges that the Customer has the final responsibility to
review the functioning of the Licensed Programs and any changes supplied by
Euronet. Customer shall verify for itself that the Licensed Programs meet the
needs and appropriate use intended by Customer and that the Licensed Programs
function accurately for Customers processing environment. Customer acknowledges
that Customer has the final responsibility for configuration of hardware and
system software for the equipment on which the Licensed Programs run. Under no
circumstances will Euronet be liable for damages for any configuration errors
for hardware or software other than the unmodified Licensed Programs. Customer
also acknowledges that it is ultimately responsible for insuring that proper
backups of the Licensed Programs and data are performed; and since Euronet's
Licensed Programs are only a part of Customer's full data processing solution,
that Customer is responsible for the complete configuration of computer hardware
and non-Euronet software necessary to perform Customer's functions; and that
Customer is responsible to insure correctness of data entry and that proper
security procedures are in place for Customer's operations.
12. INFRINGEMENT AND REMEDY
A. Each party (the "Indemnifying Party" or "Provider") will defend and
indemnify the other party and its clients (the "Indemnified Party" or
"Recipient") against a claim that any information, design, specification,
instruction, software, data, or material furnished by the Provider ("Material")
as part of the Licensed Programs or Customer Modifications, as applicable,
infringes a U.S. copyright, patent or other Intellectual Property right or a
foreign copyright, patent or other Intellectual Property right in a country in
which the Euronet has licensed the Licensed Programs as of the Effective Date
(the "Claim") provided that the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the
part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve
the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to
the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.
B. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified
Party against the Claim with counsel of its choice satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party so long as (1) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified
Party with evidence acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying
Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Claim and fulfill
its indemnification obligations hereunder, (2) the Claim involves only money
damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (3)
settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the claim is not, in the
good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential
custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the
Indemnified Party and (4) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the
Claim actively and diligently.
C. So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Claim
in accordance with subsection B. above, (1) the Indemnified Party may retain
separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense
of the Claim and (2) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Claim without the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
D. In the event any of the conditions in Section 12.B. above is or becomes
unsatisfied, however, (1) the Indemnified Party may defend against and consent
to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the
Claim (provided that the Indemnified Party consults with and obtains the
page 12
consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (2) the
Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and
periodically for the costs of defending against the Claim (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) and (3) the Indemnifying Party will remain
responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer
resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the
Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 12.
E. The Provider shall have no liability for any claim of infringement
resulting specifically from: (a) the Recipient's use of a superseded or altered
release of some or all of the Material if infringement would have been avoided
by the use of a subsequent unaltered release of the Material that is provided to
the Recipient; (b) the combination, operation, or use of some or all of the
Material or any modification thereof provided for under this Agreement with
information, software, specifications, instructions, data, or materials not
furnished by the Provider if the infringement would have been avoided by not
combining, operating, or using the Material or the modification thereof, with
such information, software, specifications, instructions, data, or materials;
(c) some or all of the Material or the modification thereof, which is based on
the Recipient's Material but only to the extent that such Material is
Recipient's; or (d) any information, design, specification, instruction,
software, data or material not furnished by or on behalf of the Provider.
F. In the event that some or all of the Material is held or is believed by the
Provider to infringe, the Provider shall have the option, at its expense,
to: (a) modify the Material so that it meets the same specifications so as to be
non-infringing; (b) replace the Material with non-infringing material that meets
the same specifications as the infringing Material; or (c) to obtain for the
Recipient, at no cost to Recipient, a license to continue using the Material.
G. This section states each party's entire liability and exclusive remedy for
infringement.
13. FORCE MAJEURE
Euronet shall not be liable for any delay in performing any obligation to
Customer hereunder due to any cause beyond Euronet's reasonable control,
including but not limited to delays by Customer, acts of other vendors, acts of
civil or military authority, labor disputes, fire, riots, civil disturbance,
sabotage, war, terrorism, embargo, blockage, floods, earthquakes, epidemic,
delays in transportation, and governmental restrictions. Euronet time to perform
shall be increased to the extent necessitated by such causes.
14. NO IMPLIED WAIVERS
The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other
party of any provision hereof shall not affect in any way the right to require
such performance at any time thereafter, nor, shall the waiver by either party
of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the
provision itself.
15. REMEDIES FOR BREACH
A. BREACH BY EURONET
i. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.A., Customer may seek damages
from Euronet by written notice to Euronet upon any breach of Euronet's
obligations under this Agreement if such breach, in the reasonable
judgment of Customer, materially and adversely affects Customer and
Euronet has not corrected such breach within thirty (30) days of such
notice or is not working diligently in good faith to cure such breach
in cases where a breach cannot reasonably be expected to be cured
within thirty (30) days. In the event that Euronet fails to remedy the
breach of any Program Warranty, such damages may include the cost to
Customer, including without limitation internal and third party costs,
of repairing any Critical Errors or other failures in the Licensed
Programs. In the event Euronet fails to remedy the breach of the
Services Warranty, such damages may include without limitation the
cost to Customer of internal or third party resources used to remedy
such failure. The licenses
page 13
granted in Section 5.A. shall continue regardless of Customer's
exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section. ii.
In the event of a threatened or actual breach by Euronet of this
Agreement, monetary damages alone shall not be an adequate remedy, and
Customer, in addition to monetary damages, shall be entitled to
injunctive, equitable, and other legal relief against such breach as
may be awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction plus reasonable
expenses (including attorneys fees and costs).
B. BREACH BY CUSTOMER
i. The licenses granted pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement are
irrevocable and this Agreement may not be terminated by Euronet.
ii. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.A., Euronet may seek damages
from Customer by written notice to Customer upon any breach of Customer's
obligations under this Agreement if such breach, in the reasonable judgment of
Euronet, materially and adversely affects Euronet, and Customer has not
corrected such breach within thirty (30) days of such notice or is not working
diligently in good faith to cure such breach in cases where a breach cannot
reasonably be expected to be cured within thirty (30) days.
iii. In the event Customer breaches any restriction under Section 5.A.iv.
the parties agree that:
a. Euronet's sole and exclusive remedy shall be that Customer shall, at
Customer's sole discretion and within thirty (30) days of being
notified by Euronet of such breach, either: (1) pay to Euronet 2 times
(2X) the revenue Euronet would have charged for the licenses of and/or
EFT processing services utilizing (as determined by the offerings
under the agreement causing the breach) the Licensed Programs; or (2)
Customer shall remedy the breach of the restriction (by reversing the
portion of the agreement that violates the restriction. If Customer
elects to pay Euronet 2X the revenue Euronet would have charged, such
amount shall be determined based on the average of the last three (3)
comparable sales made by Euronet or based on Euronet's then-current
standard pricing,whichever is less.
b. Regardless of whether Customer remedies the breach of the restriction
as described above, for each breach of the restrictions under Section
5.A.iv., one (1) year shall be added to the Restriction Period.
iii. In the event of a threatened or actual breach by Customer of Sections 5.A.
or 20 of this Agreement, the parties agree that monetary damages alone shall not
be an adequate remedy, and Euronet shall be entitled to injunctive or other
equitable relief against such breach as may be awarded by a court of competent
jurisdiction plus reasonable expenses (including attorneys fees and costs). Any
such remedies shall not include termination of this Agreement or any of the
licenses granted hereunder.
C. No election of any remedy shall be construed as a waiver of or prohibition
against any other remedy in the event of a breach hereunder.
16. BINDING AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the
parties. The parties hereto, for themselves and for their successors and
permitted assigns, agree to execute any instrument in writing which may be

effort, and expense to develop a well-trained, experienced and professional
staff; and, in recognition thereof, during the first five (5) years of the Term
of this Agreement, neither party will solicit, attempt to hire, or hire away any
employee of the other party who provided services or support in connection with
the Licensed Programs (except for clerical positions) to work as an employee, an
advisor, or an independent consultant in connection with the Licensed Programs
unless the prior written consent of the other party has been obtained or the
employee has been terminated or the employee has voluntarily disassociated from
the current employer for a period of at least one (1) year.
19. COMPLETENESS OF INSTRUMENT; MODIFICATIONS
This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement of the parties
with respect to the Licensed Programs and Source Materials and supersedes any
prior proposals, documents, commitments, or representations of any kind whether
oral or written. Customer and Euronet agree that the provisions herein prevail
over any variance of trade or prior performance to the contrary. All
modifications and amendments hereto must be in writing and signed by duly
authorized representatives of both parties, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.
20. CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENT, MEDIA AND MARKETING
A. By virtue of this Agreement, the parties may have access to information
that is confidential to one another, including but not limited to the services
performed by Euronet, the Developments, Customer Modifications, Licensed
Programs, including Source Materials, the terms and pricing under this
Agreement, and all information clearly identified as confidential (collectively,
the "Confidential Information"). "Confidential Information" expressly includes
all "non-public personal information" as defined in Title V of the
Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (15 U.S.C. Section 6801, et seq.) and the implementing
regulations thereunder (collectively, the "GLB Act"), as the same may be amended
from time to time, that Euronet receives from or at the direction of Customer
and that concerns any of "customers" and/or "consumers" (as defined in the GLB
Act) of financial institutions that are customers of Customer.
B. A party's Confidential Information shall not include information that: (a)
is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the
other party; (b) was in the other party's lawful possession prior to the
disclosure and had not been obtained by the other party either directly or
indirectly form the disclosing party; (c) is lawfully disclosed to the other
party by a third party without restriction on disclosure; or (d) is
independently developed by the other party.
page 15
C. All Confidential Information disclosed by Euronet or Customer to
the other during the term of this Agreement (1) shall be deemed the property of
the disclosing party, (2) shall be used solely for the purposes of administering
and otherwise implementing the terms of this Agreement, and (3) shall be
protected by the receiving party in accordance with the terms of Section 20. The
parties agree to hold each other's Confidential Information in confidence during
the Term of this Agreement, except for: i) Licensed Programs, which shall be
held in confidence by Customer for the initial five (5) years after the
Effective Date of this Agreement; and ii) Customer's Clients' personal
information, which shall be held in confidence indefinitely. The parties agree,
unless required by law, not to make each other's Confidential Information
available in any form to any third party for any purpose other than the
implementation of this Agreement or to exercise its rights under the Agreement.
Neither party shall reproduce in any form, or provide, disclose, or give access
to such Confidential Information to any third party or to any employee not
having a need to know the Confidential Information, and shall not use the
Confidential Information for any purpose other than to perform its obligations
and exercise its rights under this Agreement. Each party agrees to use the same
degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of like
nature and importance, but in no event less than reasonable care, including
taking all reasonable steps to ensure that Confidential Information is not
disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in violation of the terms of
this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 20 shall restrict Customer's right to
furnish or otherwise provide the Licensed Programs (including Updates,
Developments and Versions), Documentation and other Confidential Information to
Clients or Customer's right to engage subcontractors and agents to perform work

Versions) or Documentation, even if such subcontractor or agent is a competitor
of Euronet, provided however, such Licensed Programs, Documentation and
Confidential Information are provided subject to Customer's written restrictions
on such subcontractor's or agents use of Customer's programs, documentation and
confidential and proprietary information; such restrictions to be at least as
protective of Euronet's rights in the Licensed Programs as are the provisions of
this Agreement.

Agreement or discussions, negotiations, terms or conditions related to this

accounting or regulatory requirements, without prior written permission of the
other party. Each party agrees to exercise due diligence in limiting disclosure
to the minimum necessary under the particular circumstances.
The parties shall consult with each other in preparing any press release, public
announcement, news media response or other form of release of information
concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that is
intended to provide such information to the news media or the public (a "Press
Release"). Neither party shall issue or cause the publication of any such Press
Release without the prior written consent of the other party; except that
nothing herein will prohibit either party from issuing or causing publication of
any such Press Release to the extent that such action is required by applicable
law or the rules of any national stock exchange applicable to such party or its
affiliates, in which case the party wishing to make such disclosure will, if
practicable under the circumstances, notify the other party of the proposed time
of issuance of such Press Release and consult with and allow the other party
reasonable time to comment on such Press Release in advance of its issuance.
21. MISCELLANEOUS
A. DISPUTES AND ARBITRATION
i. The parties shall attempt to settle any disputes arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement through
negotiation and consultation before resorting to
arbitration. In the event a dispute arises between Euronet
and Customer with respect to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or any subject matter governed by this
Agreement, other than disputes regarding a party's
compliance with the provisions of Section 20
(Confidentiality) , such dispute shall be settled as set
forth in this section. If either party exercises its right
to initiate the dispute resolution procedures under this
section, then during such procedure any time periods
providing for curing any material breach (including the
payment of penalty or damages) under Section 15 shall be
automatically suspended.
page 16
ii. If any party shall have any dispute with respect to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any subject
matter referred to in or governed by this Agreement, that
party (through the President, Integrated Financial
Solutions division of Customer or the Managing Director of
the Software Division of Euronet, as the case may be) shall
provide written notification to the other party in the form
of a claim identifying the issue or amount disputed and
including a detailed reason for the claim. The party
against whom the claim is made shall respond in writing to
the claim within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt
of the claim document. The party filing the claim shall
have an additional ten (10) business days after the receipt
of the response either to accept the resolution offered by
the other party or to request implementation of the
procedures set forth in subsection A.iii. below (the
"Escalation Procedures"). Failure to meet the time
limitations set forth in this Section shall result in the
implementation of the Escalation Procedures.
iii. Escalation Procedures.
(a) Each of the parties agrees to negotiate, in good
faith, any claim or dispute that has not been
satisfactorily resolved following the claim
resolution procedures described above. To this end,
each party agrees to escalate any and all unresolved
disputes or claims in accordance with this
subsection iii before taking further action.
(b) If the negotiations conducted pursuant to subsection
A.ii. above do not lead to resolution of the
underlying dispute or claim to the satisfaction of a
party involved in such negotiations, then either
party may notify the other in writing that she/he
desires to elevate the dispute or claim to the
President of Customer and the President of Euronet
for resolution. Upon receipt by the other party of
such written notice, the dispute or claim shall be
so elevated and the President of Customer and the
President of Euronet shall negotiate in good faith
and each use reasonable best efforts to resolve such
dispute or claim. The location, format, duration and
conclusion of these elevated discussions shall be
left to the discretion of the representatives
involved. Upon agreement, the representatives may
utilize other alternative dispute resolution
procedures to assist in the negotiations.
Discussions and correspondence among the
representatives for purposes of these negotiations
shall be treated as Confidential Information
developed for purposes of settlement, exempt from
discovery and production, which shall not be
admissible in subsequent proceedings between the
parties. Documents identified in or provided with
such communications, which are not prepared for
purposes of the negotiations, are not so exempted
and may, if otherwise admissible, be admitted in
evidence in such subsequent proceeding.
iv. Arbitration Procedures. In the event that a claim,
controversy or dispute between the parties with respect
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any
subject matter governed by this Agreement, which is
subject to arbitration hereunder and which has not been
resolved by use of the claims procedures described
above, either party may, within thirty (30) days after
the conclusion of the discussions described above,
request binding arbitration of the issue in accordance
with the following procedures:
(a) Either party may request arbitration by giving the
other involved party written notice to such effect,
which notice shall describe, in reasonable detail,
the nature of the dispute, controversy or claim.
Such arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA")
(b) The arbitration will be held in Little Rock,
Arkansas or such other city as is mutually agreed to
by the parties, before a sole arbitrator who is
knowledgeable in business information and electronic
data processing systems. The arbitrator will be
obligated to apply and follow the substantive law of
the state of Florida, as provided below.
page 17
(c) The arbitrator's award will be final and binding and may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator
may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute but
will not have the authority to award consequential,
punitive or exemplary damages, or any damages excluded by,
or in excess of, any damage limitations expressed in this
Agreement.
(d) An award or order issued pursuant to any such arbitration
proceeding shall be enforceable in any jurisdiction in
which the party against which the award or order is entered
has assets by filing a certified copy thereof in a court of
competent jurisdiction, whereupon the parties hereto
specifically consent to the entry of a final,
non-appealable judgment confirming and enforcing said
arbitration award or order.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the
only circumstance in which disputes between them will not
be exclusively subject to binding arbitration is a
circumstance in which either party has breached or
threatened to breach Sections 5.A. or 20 of this Agreement
and when an immediate remedy and/or prevention is required.
(f) If either party brings an arbitration action to enforce its
rights under this Agreement, each party shall bear its own
costs unless otherwise ordered and directed by the
arbitrator.
B. SEVERABILITY
If any provision herein shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be replaced by a
mutually acceptable provision which, being valid, legal, and enforceable, comes
closest to the intent of the parties underlying that provision.
C. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
domestic laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Florida. No action, regardless of form, arising out of
this Agreement may be brought by either party more than two (2) years after the
cause of action has occurred.
D. CURRENCY
All amounts referred to herein or in other documents related to this Agreement
shall be U.S. Dollars unless otherwise designated.
E. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE.
Exhibit C lists software from other vendors that is utilized in Euronet's
standard development environment. Customer shall be responsible for obtaining
licenses directly from the vendor. Except as expressly provided by vendor, such
software is provided without warranty of any kind whether express or implied,
including without limitation warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose, and Euronet shall assume no liability whatsoever relative to
this software.
F. HEADINGS.
The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of
reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties, and shall not in any
way offset the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
page 18
G. ASSIGNMENT.
i. Neither party shall assign, delegate, or otherwise convey or transfer (the
"Assignment") its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement to any
person or entity without the prior written consent of the other party, except
that either party may assign, delegate, or otherwise convey or transfer its
rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement to any majority-owned
subsidiary of such party or to an entity which acquires substantially all of the
business assets of the business unit of such party which provides services
utilizing the Licensed Programs, upon notice to, but not upon prior written
consent of, Customer or Euronet, as appropriate. All obligations and duties of
any party under this Agreement shall be binding on all successors in interest
and permitted assigns of such party. The assignee or transferee shall, upon
completion of the Assignment, automatically succeed to the corresponding rights,
interests, and obligations of the assigning and transferring party and shall be
a successor of such party for purposes of this Agreement.

of its ownership rights in the Licensed Programs, Euronet shall provide Customer
with notice and the ability to make an offer for the assets Euronet is proposing
to sell or transfer.

EXHIBIT E
INSTALLATION AND ACCEPTANCE
Installation of the Standard Licensed Programs shall consist of the successful
completion of all of the following steps/processes:
1. Promptly following the Effective Date, Customer shall commence
Training.
2. Promptly following the Effective Date, Customer shall commence
acquiring the necessary hardware and software resources to establish
Customer's development environment, as required by Article 9 of the
Agreement. It is anticipated that such hardware and software
acquisitions will take sixty (60) days to complete.
3 Beginning on the date that Step 2 above is completed, Euronet shall
commence installation of the Standard Licensed Programs and creation of
the development environment within the Customer's existing Xxxxx CMS
environment at Customer's facilities in Maitland, Florida. It is
anticipated that these activities to complete this Step 3 will be
completed within thirty (30) to forty-five (45) days following the
completion of Step 2 and will include the following activities:
. Euronet will distribute the Standard Licensed Programs to
Customer (in both source and object code), including default data
content for control parameters.
. This distribution will be organized in a manner suitable for
checking these objects in to Customer's Xxxxx CMS environment
(said organization is yet to be defined).
. Customer will be responsible for merging these objects and
database files into the Customer development and/or change
management environment(s). Euronet will provide consultation in
connection with this effort.
4. Euronet will create a full ITM release for all of Version 2.2 of the
Licensed Programs from the development system established in Step 3.
This extraction will be used to install Version 2.2 of the Standard
Licensed Programs on a separate Customer testing system. This step
shall be completed within sixty (60) to ninety (90) days after the
completion of Steps 2 and 3 above and include the following activities:
. Customer and Euronet shall create a distribution of a new system
from the development environment created in Step 3 above. Euronet
shall provide consulting assistance as needed during this
procedure.
. Euronet shall validate the content of this distribution to ensure
that the libraries are complete and accurate. Any deficiencies
will be described in writing to Customer within seven (7) days of
the completion of the validation in order to allow for
adjustments in Customer's distribution techniques and procedures.
If it is determined that adjustments to the distribution
procedures are required, Customer shall regenerate the
distribution, and Euronet shall revalidate the distribution,
before continuing.
. Euronet will receive the completed distribution and populate the
control parameters with default data relevant to the components
included in this distribution. (It is recommended that Customer
participate in this process as part of training.)
. Euronet shall set up a build and distribution environment on the
Customer's development system for the Licensed Programs.
5. The Version 2.2 of the Standard Licensed Programs must meet the
standard of performance set forth in this Step 5 before the Licensed
Programs will be considered accepted by Customer. It is anticipated
that the acceptance testing will be completed within thirty (30) days
of the completion of Step 4 above and will include the following
activities:
page 27
. Customer and Euronet shall jointly install the newly distributed
Standard Licensed Programs and data (created in Step 4 above)
into a test system (the "TEST") to be located at Customer's
HORIZON Technology Center East in Albany, New York.
. TEST will consist of a system with all components necessary to
provide online authorizations of transactions through the EFT
Network.
. The installation of TEST will include the "localization" and
"integration" of various control parameters and databases (e.g.:
datacomm, device-specific parameters, Test Cards, etc.)
. TEST will include a Horizon data set (to be determined by
Customer), which dataset shall be adequate for the test and
acceptance transaction set.
. The standard of performance shall be that Version 2.2 of the Standard
Licensed Programs and the EFT Network operate in material conformity with
the Documentation and Customer is successfully processing all documented
transactions through Customer's EFT Network and driving an ATM, which shall
be verified using the Installation Checklist (attached hereto as Attachment
1 to Exhibit E) (the "Acceptance Standard").
. Acceptance of the Licensed Programs shall be in accordance with the
following procedures:
(a) Upon the installation of the Licensed Programs, Customer
shall have thirty (30) days from the installation of TEST to
verify that the Licensed Programs operate in material
conformity with the Acceptance Standard. Euronet shall be in
attendance as may be reasonably required by Customer to
assist in the performance of the acceptance testing of the
Licensed Programs and to promptly rectify any errors which
may manifest themselves during acceptance testing.
(b) Within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of Customer's
testing period, Customer shall indicate in writing whether
or not the Licensed Programs meets the Acceptance Standard.
In the event that after testing the software fails to comply
with the Acceptance Standard, then Customer shall make a
written list of defects which cause non-compliance. Euronet,
at no additional charge to Customer, shall have fifteen (15)
days from the date of delivery of notice to replace, add, or
modify the software to cure the listed defects and to
re-deliver such software to Customer. Thereafter, Customer
shall resume the acceptance testing and Euronet shall resume
corrections until the software successfully passes such
tests. The date that the Licensed Programs is accepted shall
be the "Acceptance Date." If Customer does not timely verify
conformity with the Acceptance Standard or does not provide
timely notice of defects, the Licensed Programs shall be
deemed accepted. Customer also agrees that if Customer uses,
distributes or otherwise provides the Licensed Programs to
any clients (other than in connection with EFT Network
Services), the Licensed Programs shall be deemed to have
been accepted.
The final responsibility to review the functionality of the Licensed Software
provided by Euronet rests with the Customer. Because of the unique nature of
each Customer environment, the Customer should test all Licensed Software
provided by Euronet in Customer's own "test environment."
The parties agree that none of the activities set forth in this Exhibit E shall
count towards the two (2) many years of Support Services described in Exhibit D.

EXHIBIT F
INCIDENT RESOLUTION
Problem Severity Levels
The Euronet Customer Service Representative ("CSR") will assign the severity
level to an incident; however, the Customer can instruct the CSR to adjust the
severity level of a problem and Euronet will react accordingly.
Minor (Level 1)
Target resolution timeframe is thirty (30) days or less.
A Level-1 problem is defined as one in which an important function or
process has an error, but the system is functioning. The problem
exposes the Customer to little or no risk of financial loss or
downtime. Minor problems should be addressed by Euronet within thirty
(30) days. Euronet may determine that a Minor problem will not be
corrected if the impact of the problem is not materially affecting the
functionality of the system. Customer will be notified of that
determination and will have the option to request Euronet correct the
problem on a billable basis.
Major (Level 4)
Target Resolution timeframe is fifteen (15) days or less
The following types of situations will be classified as a Level-4
problem:
- An important function or process has an error but the system is
functioning. There is some risk of financial loss because of the
problem, but the Customer can identify and mitigate the risk
through normal balancing procedures or other operational means.
- A Level-1 problem that has not been resolved within thirty (30)
days will be reclassified to a level-four support item.
Critical (level 7)
Target Resolution timeframe is five (5) days or less.
The following types of situations will be classified as a Level-7
problem:
- An important function or process has an error but the system is
functioning. There is a high risk of financial loss and/or
downtime because of the problem, but the Customer can identify and
mitigate the risk through operational means.
- A Level-4 problem that has not been resolved within thirty (30)
days will be reclassified to a Level-7 support item.
An estimated resolution time period will be established during the same
business day in which the Customer reports the problem. The CSR will
periodically communicate with the Customer as to status and progress
leading to resolution.
Emergency - Xxxxx 00
Xxxxx-00 problems are the most urgent and indicate severe action is
required. This is generally defined as a "system down" situation in
which a Euronet application is out of service or there is a high risk
of financial loss as a result of the problem and the Customer is unable
to identify and mitigate the risk through operational means.
The CSR will take immediate action to resolve. The direct manager of
the CSR, the Account Relationship Manager, and the Vice President of
Customer Service will be notified immediately. If within four (4) hours
the problem has not been corrected, the CSR will escalate to management
so as to facilitate assignment of additional resources to resolve the
problem. Euronet will continue working around the clock until the
problem is corrected and the system is operational. Customer also
commits to around the clock
EURONET CONFIDENTIAL
page - 29
involvement and will remain onsite and involved in the resolution of
the problem. If within 48 hours the condition is not resolved, a
determination will be made jointly by Customer and Euronet as to
whether an onsite presence by a Euronet resource is required. Such
onsite support will be provided at no cost to Customer (and shall not
count towards the two (2) man years of Support Services), except that
Customer will reimburse Euronet for travel and lodging expenses.
