Purpose

(a) The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the framework pursuant to which Bank products are developed, marketed and implemented for use in conjunction with Programs that offer consumers a convenient and secure mechanism for making purchases and payments.

(b) Servicer and Bank have reviewed the provisions of the final rule issued by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) on July 29, 2011 amending the Bank Secrecy Act regulations applicable to Money Services Businesses (“MSBs”) as they relate to prepaid access (76

Federal Register 45403) (the “Final Rule”). Based on numerous provisions in the Agreement, both Servicer and Bank believe that Bank is the party exercising principal oversight and control in connection with the Program(s) and, accordingly, Servicer is not required to register as an MSB under the provisions of the Final Rule. However, for the avoidance of doubt, if any Regulatory Authority deems Servicer to be or requires Servicer to register as the provider of prepaid access as that term is defined in Chapter X of Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations (“Provider of Prepaid Access”), Servicer shall either agree that Servicer shall be the Provider of Prepaid Access, and thus shall be responsible for principal oversight and control over the Programs; or shall submit a request for administrative ruling to FinCEN seeking determination that Servicer is not the Provider of Prepaid Access with respect to the Programs. Upon request, Bank shall confer with Servicer in connection with its preparation of the proposed request for administrative ruling. Servicer shall promptly provide Bank with a copy of any formal request submitted to FinCEN in accordance with this Paragraph and any ruling or guidance issued by FinCEN with respect to such request. In the event FinCEN determines that the Final Rule does require Servicer to be the Provider of Prepaid Access, Servicer shall promptly accomplish all acts necessary to comply with the obligations imposed on the Provider of Prepaid Access under the Final Rule, and shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless from any fines, penalties or sanctions of any nature resulting from Servicer’s not initially registering as a Provider of Prepaid Access.

SECTION 2.2

Appointment of Servicer

Bank hereby appoints Servicer as Bank’s authorized agent solely to (i) market and offer Cards that meet Bank requirements; (ii) develop, market and offer Programs that utilize Cards; and (iii) perform Processing Services and such other services hereunder to support the Cards and Programs, solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.3

Statutory Authority of the Regulatory Authority

As an authorized delegate and representative of Bank, Servicer acknowledges and agrees to the following:

(a) any Regulatory Authority has and shall have the statutory authority to regulate, examine and initiate an enforcement action against Servicer with respect to the activities performed by Servicer as agent or representative of Bank;

(b) Bank and Servicer, in its capacity as Bank’s authorized delegate and representative, are both subject to control and supervision by the appropriate Regulatory Authority, which control and supervision includes, but is not limited to, the ability to require that Bank obtain such Regulatory Authority’s approval (or non-objection) before entering into a contractual arrangement with Servicer and the right of the Regulatory Authority to approve specific contractual language;

(c) the Regulatory Authority may require both Bank and Servicer, in its capacity as Bank’s authorized delegate and representative, to (and, if required, the Parties shall) submit periodic reports to the Regulatory Authority;

(d) the Regulatory Authority may require the Parties to (and, if required, the Parties shall) modify the terms of this Agreement or terminate Bank’s relationship with Servicer at any time; and

(e) the Regulatory Authority may institute any other requirements or conditions that the Regulatory Authority deems appropriate for a particular purpose in connection with this Agreement and the rights and responsibilities set forth herein, in which case the Parties agree to comply with such requirements or conditions.

SECTION 3.8

System Access

(a) Servicer shall ensure that Bank has full access to the Processor Systems relating to the Processing Services provided hereunder to provide Bank with the permissions set forth in Section 3.8(b).

Any adjustments or modifications made by Bank within the Processor Systems in accordance with this Section 3.8 may not thereafter be altered or reversed by Servicer without Bank’s prior written approval.

(e) In addition to the SLA Corrective Action Plan and the rights set forth in Sections 3.5(c) and (d), Bank reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require the following from Servicer: (i) in the event of a third failure of the same SLA within a six (6) month period, a letter from and/or a phone call with the President or CEO of Servicer discussing the SLA Corrective Action Plan; and (ii) in the event of a fourth and subsequent failures of the same SLA within a six (6) month period, an in-person meeting at Bank’s offices with the President or CEO of Servicer in attendance to discuss such SLA Corrective Action Plan.

(b) Servicer agrees to cooperate with any examination, inquiry, audit, information request, site visit or the like, which may be required by any Regulatory Authority or System with audit examination or supervisory authority over Bank, to the fullest extent requested by such Regulatory Authority, System or Bank. Servicer shall also provide to Bank any information which may be required by any Regulatory Authority or System in connection with their audit or review of Bank or any Program and shall reasonably cooperate with such Regulatory Authority or System in connection with any audit or review of Bank or any Program. Servicer shall also provide such other information as Bank, Regulatory Authorities or System may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the financial condition of Servicer and such other information as Bank may from time to time reasonably request with respect to third parties who have contracted with Servicer relating to or in connection with this Agreement.

if additional time is needed to implement the Audit Corrective Action Plan or deviations from the Audit Corrective Action Plan are necessary, a written request shall be submitted to Bank detailing the extenuating circumstances that necessitate an extension of the Corrective Action Plan Deadline and such extension request shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Bank; and

(i)

As soon as reasonably practicable, commencing with the giving of notice of non-renewal or termination or at such other time as the Parties may otherwise mutually agree, Servicer or Bank, as applicable, will provide to the other Party in writing a proposed wind-down plan detailing a proposed timeline which shall designate a schedule of dates as of which each Program will be wound down and an allocation of associated cost among the Parties. Bank and Servicer shall meet promptly thereafter to review such proposed plan and to determine a mutually acceptable wind-down plan (a “Wind-Down Plan”); provided, however, that if Bank and Servicer fail to reach mutual agreement on a wind-down plan within thirty (30) days, Bank shall establish a wind-down plan that is appropriate for the affected Program and that is, to the extent practicable, substantially similar to other wind-down plans used by Bank for other programs similar to the affected Program hereunder, in which case such wind-down plan so established by Bank shall constitute the “Wind-Down Plan” hereunder as to the affected Program and shall be deemed to be approved by Servicer, and Servicer shall comply with the terms thereof

(ii)

Unless otherwise contemplated by the Wind-Down Plan, Bank and Servicer shall continue to be bound by and comply with the terms of this Agreement and perform all of their obligations hereunder during the wind-down period (regardless of whether the Term has expired or been terminated) until such time as all Cards expire or are cancelled pursuant to and consistent with the Cardholder Agreements or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, until such earlier time as mutually agreed upon by Bank and Servicer.

(c) During any wind-down period, Servicer agrees to continue to provide customer service to the affected Cardholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Bank determines in its sole discretion that Servicer has failed to continue to provide customer service to the affected Cardholders during the wind-down period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Servicer shall take all necessary steps to either (i) effect the transfer to Bank of control of the toll free telephone numbers and websites used by Servicer with respect to such Program (the “Program Telephone Numbers and Websites”) or (ii) re-direct Cardholders using the Program Telephone Numbers and Websites to such toll-free telephone numbers and websites as designated by Bank.

(d) Except as required by Applicable Law (including applicable securities laws and the rules promulgated thereunder), in no event will any Party make any public statement or customer communication regarding the termination or wind-down of this Agreement or any Cards or Programs without the express prior written approval of both Bank and Servicer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer agrees that Bank may communicate the termination or expiration of this Agreement with any party with which Servicer has contracted to provide any Processing Services, marketing or other service with regard to the Program.

If Servicer determines, acting reasonably, that the continued distribution and sale of the Cards may not be profitable to Servicer, Servicer shall notify the Bank’s President of the profitability concerns and the basis therefor. Servicer and Bank shall meet and confer, through their Presidents or CEOs, to attempt to resolve those concerns in good faith within sixty (60) days of notice thereof (a “Meet and Confer Period”). If good faith resolution is not achieved within the Meet and Confer Period, the Bank acknowledges that the Servicer has the right, without liability or cost under this Agreement to suspend or cease performance of Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement (upon one hundred eighty (180) days’ notice).

If the concerns are not resolved in good faith within the Meet and Confer Period, then Servicer shall have the right, acting reasonably, to cease or cause the cessation of the subject activity in any jurisdiction where to not do so would violate Applicable Law, provided, however, that Servicer shall have provided to Bank prompt (at least thirty (30) days’ prior) written notice of its decision to cease or cause the cessation of the subject activity.

SECTION 14.12

Disputes

(a) In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the construction, interpretation, performance, breach, termination, enforceability or validity thereof (hereinafter, a “Dispute”), the Party raising such Dispute shall notify the other promptly and no later than sixty (60) days from the date of its discovery of the Dispute. In the case of a Dispute relating to account or transaction statements or similar matters, the failure of a Party to notify the other Party of such Dispute within sixty (60) days from the date of its receipt shall result in such matter being deemed undisputed and accepted by the Party attempting to raise such Dispute.

(b) The Parties shall cooperate and attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute promptly by negotiating between persons who have authority to settle the Dispute and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration and performance of the provisions or obligations of this Agreement that are the subject of the Dispute.

To that end, the Parties shall not disclose the existence, content or results of any proceedings conducted in accordance with this Section, and materials submitted in connection with such proceedings shall not be admissible in any other proceeding, provided, however, that this confidentiality provision shall not bar disclosures required by Applicable Law.

(d) The Parties agree that no services to be provided under this Agreement shall be disrupted as a result of any Dispute while such Dispute is pending between the Parties, except as otherwise provided herein.

(e) Any Dispute which cannot otherwise be resolved as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitral tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the Parties, or in the absence of such agreement within 30 days from the first referral of the Dispute to the American Arbitration Association, designated by the American Arbitration Association. The place of arbitration shall be Sioux Falls, South Dakota, if the Servicer is bringing the action, and in San Francisco, California, if Bank is bringing the action, unless the Parties shall have agreed to another location within 15 days from the first referral of the Dispute to the American Arbitration Association. The arbitral award, which may include the attorney’s fees of the prevailing Party, shall be final and binding. The Parties waive any right to appeal the arbitral award, to the extent a right to appeal may be lawfully waived. Each Party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (i) to compel arbitration, (ii) to obtain interim measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration, (iii) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to protect the unauthorized disclosure of its proprietary or confidential information, and (iv) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award. In no event shall either Party be entitled to punitive, exemplary or similar damages.

SECTION 14.13

Force Majeure

In the event either Party is unable to perform its obligations hereunder due to a Force Majeure Event (as defined below) such Party will so notify the other Party promptly and shall be relieved of any liability hereunder flowing from such inability to perform, until such time that the Force Majeure Event

SECTION 14.16

Non-Exclusive Agreement
