Item 1.01.		Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Fourth Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger

In connection with the transaction described in Item 8.01 below, on September 30, 2010, Popular, Inc. (“Popular”), its wholly-owned subsidiary EVERTEC, Inc. (“EVERTEC”), and two recently formed subsidiaries of a fund managed by an affiliate of Apollo Management VII, L.P. (“Apollo”), AP Carib Holdings, Ltd. (“AP Carib”) and Carib Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), entered into the Fourth Amendment, dated as of September 30, 2010 (the “Fourth Amendment”), to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 30, 2010, as amended on August 5, 2010, August 8, 2010 and September 15, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement” and, as further amended by the Fourth Amendment, the “Amended Merger Agreement”), among Popular, EVERTEC, AP Carib and Merger Sub.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, Popular has agreed to, among other things, indemnify EVERTEC, in certain circumstances, for certain tax attributes under Puerto Rican law related to certain intellectual property sold to EVERTEC. Popular has also agreed to use its best efforts to obtain certain third-party consents relating to certain intellectual property agreements or, alternatively, to provide equivalent rights and benefits to EVERTEC to substitute for such intellectual property agreements. Additionally, Popular has agreed, in certain circumstances, to indemnify EVERTEC for certain losses and lost profits relating to such intellectual property and the intellectual property rights related thereto.

The Merger Agreement had been previously amended by the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”), dated August 5, 2010, to the Merger Agreement, the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”), dated August 8, 2010, to the Merger Agreement (which superseded the First Amendment) and the Third Amendment (“Third Amendment”) dated September 15, 2010, to the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is fully incorporated herein by reference.

Stockholder Agreement

In connection with the transaction described in Item 8.01 below, on September 30, 2010, a Stockholder Agreement was entered into among Carib Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), Popular and AP Carib (the “Stockholder Agreement”) that will govern the corporate governance and operation of Holdings, a company to which each of AP Carib and Popular contributed their respective shares of EVERTEC capital stock immediately following the effective time of the Merger in exchange for 51 percent and 49 percent, respectively, of the voting capital stock of Holdings. Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, the nine member board of directors of Holdings will initially be comprised of five directors named by AP Carib, three directors named by Popular and the CEO of Holdings. EVERTEC’s board of directors is comprised of the same members as the board of directors of Holdings. Each of Apollo and Popular will have limited pre-emptive rights and is restricted from selling its interests in Holdings as described in the Stockholder Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Stockholder Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is fully incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Master Service Agreement

In connection with the transaction described in Item 8.01 below, on September 30, 2010, Popular, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“BPPR”) and EVERTEC entered into the Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”) and related letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which EVERTEC will provide various processing and information technology services to Popular, BPPR and their respective subsidiaries. The MSA provides for a fifteen year term commencing on September 30, 2010 (subject to an option of EVERTEC to extend such term by an additional three years upon a change of control of Popular or BPPR). After the initial term, the MSA renews automatically for successive three year periods, unless a party gives written notice to the other parties not less than one year prior to the relevant renewal date. The MSA provides for termination by a party (i) for the other party’s breach of the agreement that results in a material adverse effect on the terminating party that continues for more than 90 days, (ii) for a failure by the other party to pay any properly submitted invoice for a material

amount in the aggregate that is undisputed for a period of more than 60 days, or (iii) for a prohibited assignment of the MSA by the other party. The MSA also includes a requirement that if BPPR or any of its subsidiaries transfers 50% or more of BPPR’s consolidated assets in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands (the “Region”), or assets that generate 50% or more of BPPR’s consolidated revenues in the Region for the full twelve month period ending at the time of transfer, then BPPR shall assign all of its rights, duties and obligations under the MSA to such transferee.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, if certain third-party consents are not obtained within 90 days of the closing date, Popular has agreed to use its best efforts to provide EVERTEC with alternative arrangements with respect to certain intellectual property required to provide certain services under the MSA. For a period of time not to exceed the first 5 years of the term of the MSA, if EVERTEC is unable to provide such services to Popular or its subsidiaries because of restrictions on the use of such intellectual property related to such services, Popular and its subsidiaries will continue to pay EVERTEC the fees which would otherwise be payable for such services (net of any related cost savings for EVERTEC).

The foregoing description of the MSA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is fully incorporated herein by reference.

Technology Agreement

On September 30, 2010, Popular and EVERTEC entered into the Technology Agreement (the “Technology Agreement”), pursuant to which EVERTEC will deposit certain proprietary software, technology and other assets into escrow within ninety days of September 30, 2010, and thereafter on a semi-annual basis during the term of the MSA and the term of any transition period under the MSA. As specified in the Technology Agreement, Popular has the right and option, upon the occurrence of certain release events, to obtain the release of part, and upon the occurrence of other release events, all of the materials deposited into escrow. Upon the occurrence of any release event, Popular also has the option to elect to exercise its rights under a license granted by EVERTEC to Popular to use and otherwise exploit all or any part of the released materials for the term (perpetual or term-limited) specified by Popular.

The foregoing description of the Technology Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is fully incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Independent Sales Organization Sponsorship and Service Agreement

On September 30, 2010, BPPR and EVERTEC entered into the Amended and Restated Independent Sales Organization Sponsorship and Service Agreement (the “ISO Agreement”) pursuant to which BPPR will sponsor EVERTEC as an independent sales organization with respect to certain credit card associations and EVERTEC will accept certain responsibilities as an independent sales organization. The term of the ISO Agreement will continue until December 31, 2025 and thereafter will be automatically renewed for successive three year periods unless written notice of non-renewal is given at least one year in advance by either party.

Pursuant to the ISO Agreement, BPPR has agreed to exclusively refer to EVERTEC any merchant that inquires about, requests or otherwise evidences interest in the payment and transaction processing services provided by EVERTEC under the ISO Agreement (“Merchant Services”). BPPR will receive a referral fee for each merchant referred that subsequently agrees to receive Merchant Services from EVERTEC. EVERTEC has also agreed under the ISO Agreement to refer to BPPR any merchant doing business in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands that inquires about, requests or otherwise evidences interest in banking services or products.

During the term of the ISO Agreement and for one year following the termination of the ISO Agreement for any reason, BPPR may not and may not cause any independent sales organization sponsored by BPPR to solicit any merchant receiving Merchant Services from EVERTEC to receive such services instead from another independent sales organization. This non-solicitation restriction does not apply, however, to (i) any banking customer of BPPR to which EVERTEC is unable or unwilling to provide Merchant Services and (ii) to any merchant with respect to the solicitation by BPPR to provide banking services and products.

Pursuant to the ISO Agreement, BPPR is the acquiring member with respect to the credit card associations covered by the ISO Agreement for anyone in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands agreeing to receive Merchant Services from EVERTEC. If BPPR cannot or will not act as the acquiring member for any particular merchant, EVERTEC is permitted to enter into an agreement with another financial institution to act as the acquiring member for such merchant under certain circumstances.

BPPR has also agreed under the ISO Agreement not to sponsor any independent sales organization, other than EVERTEC, to operate in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands under any credit card associations covered by the ISO Agreement or any other card schemes. If EVERTEC cannot or will not act as an independent sales organization for any particular card association or scheme, BPPR may sponsor another person as an independent sales organization for that card association or scheme.

Amended and Restated ATH Network Participation Agreement

On September 30, 2010, BPPR and EVERTEC entered into the Amended and Restated ATH Network Participation Agreement (the “ATH Network Participation Agreement”) pursuant to which EVERTEC (i) gave BPPR access to the ATH network owned and operated by EVERTEC by providing various services (the “ATH Network Services”), including by connecting BPPR’s ATMs to the ATH network, monitoring BPPR’s ATMs, agreeing to forward transactions from connected terminals to the participant of the ATH network and settling transactions among ATH network participants from all point-of-sale and ATM terminals on a daily basis and (ii) granted to BPPR, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited, royalty free license to use the ATH logo and the ATH word mark and any other trademarks or service marks used by EVERTEC in connection with the ATH network (collectively, the “ATH Mark”) within the United States territories, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and any other country where the ATH Mark is registered or subject to registration. The ATH Network Participation Agreement provides for a 15 year term commencing upon the closing of the Merger (subject to an option of EVERTEC to extend such term by an additional three years upon a change of control of BPPR). After the initial term, the ATH Network Participation Agreement will renew automatically for successive one year periods, unless a party gives written notice to the other parties not less than 1 year prior to the relevant renewal date. The ATH Network Participation Agreement provides for termination (i) by EVERTEC if BPPR commits a material breach, which includes, but is not limited to (a) any activities or actions of BPPR which reflect adversely on the business reputation of EVERTEC, any participant in the ATH network or the ATH Network or (b) any breach of the license described above, (ii) by BPPR, if EVERTEC commits a breach or series of breaches that results in a material adverse effect on BPPR or (iii) by either party (a) for a failure by the other party to pay any properly submitted invoice for a material amount in the aggregate that is undisputed for a period of more than 60 days, or (b) for a prohibited assignment of the ATH Network Participation Agreement by the other party.

In addition, BPPR has agreed to grant EVERTEC a right of first refusal with respect to any development, maintenance or other technology project related to the ATH Network Services and will agree to exclusively use EVERTEC to provide the ATH Network Services throughout the term of the ATH Network Participation Agreement.

ATH Support Agreement

On September 30, 2010, BPPR and EVERTEC entered into the ATH Support Agreement (the “ATH Support Agreement”) pursuant to which BPPR has agreed to support the ATH brand by (i) supporting, promoting and marketing the ATH network and brand and debit cards bearing the symbol of the ATH network, either exclusively or with the symbol of another credit card association, (ii) issuing in each successive twelve month period at least a set minimum number of debit cards exclusively bearing the symbol of the ATH network (“ATH Debit Cards”). BPPR is not responsible for any failure to issue at least the required minimum number of ATH Debit Cards under the ATH Support Agreement during any twelve month period if as a result of factors outside BPPR’s control there is a change in demand for debit cards (including a reduction in the demand for ATH Debit Cards ), an increase in demand for debit cards bearing the symbol of the ATH network and the symbol of another credit card association (“Dual Branded Debit Cards”) or the development of new payment technologies in the market that result in a decrease in demand for debit cards (including a reduction in demand for ATH Debit Cards). BPPR has also agreed

not to, and will not create incentives for its or its affiliates personnel to, promote, support or market (i) debit cards other than ATH Debit Cards or Dual Branded Debit Cards or (ii) credit cards in a manner targeted to negatively impact the issuance of ATH Debit Cards and Dual Branded Debit Cards. The ATH Support Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of 15 years after the date of the closing of the Merger or the termination of the MSA.

BPPR has agreed that, during the term of the ATH Support Agreement, it may not directly or indirectly enter into any agreement with another card association to issue Dual Branded Debit Cards without EVERTEC’s prior written consent. Under the ATH Support Agreement, if BPPR desires to enter into such an agreement, it will consult with EVERTEC and provide documentation and other support requested by EVERTEC to demonstrate that BPPR’s entry into the agreement will have a direct economic benefit to EVERTEC. EVERTEC will then be required to make a good faith determination based on such documentation and support whether to consent to BPPR’s entry into the agreement.

Puerto Rico shall be deemed to have been utilized before any other deductions of the Company have been utilized to offset taxable income of the Company that is subject to tax in Puerto Rico. Any such claimed amortization deductions that are part of a net operating loss carryforward of the Company for Puerto Rico tax purposes that would have been carried forward to a taxable year of the Company subsequent to the taxable year of a Disallowance shall be treated in the same manner as if such claimed amortization deductions were foregone amortization deductions for purposes of determining the Foregone Tax Benefit pursuant to this section 5.4(a). The Company shall keep Stockholder fully informed of the details of any application (other than any Tax Return) seeking the allowance by a Government Entity of income Tax deductions claimed by the Company for amortization of the Transferred IP (as defined under the IP Purchase and Sale Agreement) and shall not have any in-person or telephonic meeting with any Government Entity or other Person related to such application without giving Stockholder a reasonable opportunity to fully participate in any such meeting. Additionally, the Company shall (i) allow Stockholder a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such application or any amendment or supplement thereof in advance of its filing, (ii) incorporate comments of Stockholder on such application or any amendment or supplement thereof to the extent such comments reasonably would be expected to affect Stockholder’s liability for Taxes under this Agreement, provided that such comments would not otherwise materially prejudice the Company, and (iii) not file any such application or any amendment or supplement thereof without the prior consent of Stockholder (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). “Disallowance” shall mean each disallowance by a Government Entity during the Applicable Amortization Period for each of the assets included in the Transferred IP and located in Puerto Rico of income Tax deductions claimed by the Company for amortization of the Transferred IP located in Puerto Rico except to the extent that Stockholder can show by a preponderance of the evidence that any such disallowance was not the result of any transfer of a portion of such Transferred IP located in Puerto Rico prior to the Effective Time and any related rescission. The “Applicable Amortization Period” shall mean the amortization period for each of the assets included in the Transferred IP as set forth on Exhibit 5.4(a). The “Foregone Tax Benefit” shall mean the amount of the Tax benefit of any forgone amortization deductions under the Puerto Rican Internal Revenue Code for the Transferred IP located in Puerto Rico for taxable years subsequent to the last taxable year of a Disallowance, such Tax benefit amount to be determined based upon the schedule set forth in Exhibit 5.4(a) hereto, except to the extent that Stockholder can show by a preponderance of the evidence that any such disallowance was not the result of any transfer of a portion of such Transferred IP located in Puerto Rico prior to the Effective Time and any related rescission. The Foregone Tax Benefit for a taxable year shall be paid by Stockholder to the Company within 20 Business Days following the Company notifying Stockholder that is has filed its applicable Tax Return with respect to the taxable year to which the Foregone Tax Benefit relates.

(iii) The Transferring Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect to accept any Proposed Offer by delivering an irrevocable written notice of acceptance (the “ ROFO Acceptance Notice ”) to the ROFO Offerees and the Company within 60 days after the date of the ROFO Notice (the “ ROFO Acceptance Period ”); provided that (A) if such Transferring Holder receives a Proposed Offer from more than one ROFO Offeree, such Transferring Holder may only accept the Proposed Offer with the most favorable terms and conditions (including price) in its reasonable discretion, and (B) if such Transferring Holder (x) receives Proposed Offers with equivalent terms (including price, conditions and other terms and conditions) from more than one ROFO Offeree and (y) elects to accept one of such Proposed Offers, such Transferring Holder shall accept all such Proposed Offers with equivalent terms and the Offered Shares shall be allocated pro rata among such ROFO Offerees based on their respective ROFO Proportionate Percentages.

(iv) The ROFO Offerees purchasing the Common Shares pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall be entitled to require the Transferring Holder to provide representations and warranties regarding (A) its power, authority and legal capacity to enter into such Transfer of Common Shares; (B) valid right, title and interest in such Common Shares and the Transferring Holder’s ownership of such Common Shares; (C) the absence of any Encumbrances on such Common Shares; and (D) the absence of any violation, default, or acceleration of any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Transferring Holder or the assets of such Transferring Holder are bound as the result of such sale.

If the Transferring Holder has not consummated a Permitted ROFO Transfer (or has not entered into an agreement with respect thereto) within such 120 day period, the Transferring Holder shall not thereafter Transfer any Common Shares (including such Offered Shares), whether pursuant to a Proposed Offer or otherwise, without first providing a new ROFO Notice to the ROFO Offerees in the manner provided above, and such proposed Transfer shall again be subject to the requirements of this Section 4(c) .

(vi) Upon the closing of the sale of any Common Shares pursuant to this Section 4(c) , the Transferring Holder shall deliver at such closing, against payment of the purchase price therefor, certificates representing those Common Shares to be sold, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly endorsed stock powers, and evidence of the absence of Encumbrances and adverse claims with respect thereto and of such other matters as are deemed necessary by the Company for the proper Transfer of such Common Shares on the books of the Company.

Drag-Along Transaction, or (D) Transfers of Common Shares made in connection with the exercise of Tag-Along Rights.

(s) Drag-Along Rights .

(i) During any period between the expiration of the Restricted Period and completion of a Qualified Public Offering, if Apollo (by itself or together with its Ultimate Parent Entity and its Ultimate Parent Entity’s Controlled Affiliates) is the Transferring Holder and the Offered Shares to be Transferred in a transaction or series of related transactions, which transaction or series of related transactions would constitute a Permitted ROFO Transfer, whether by sale of stock, merger, consolidation or otherwise, comprise 80% or more of Common Shares beneficially owned by Apollo’s Ultimate Parent Entity and its Controlled Affiliates, and at least a majority of the Class A Shares outstanding (a “ Drag-Along Transaction ”), then, in the event that a Holder (the “ Dragged Holder ”) was not entitled to a Right of First Offer or has not timely submitted its Proposed Offer, or any such Proposed Offer has been rejected in compliance with this Agreement, Apollo shall have the right (the “ Drag-Along Right ”) to require such Dragged Holder to Transfer, in the Drag-Along Transaction, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by such Dragged Holder multiplied by the Drag-Along Percentage (rounded down to the nearest whole share). In order to exercise its Drag-Along Right, Apollo shall deliver written notice of such Drag-Along Transaction (the “ Drag-Along Notice ”) to the Company and each Dragged Holder within 150 days after the date of the ROFO Notice.

(iv) In the event of a Drag-Along Transaction, each Dragged Holder shall be required to Transfer such Common Shares beneficially owned by such Dragged Holder as provided in the Drag-Along Notice to the extent such Transfer is required under Section 4(d)(i) hereof.

(v) If requested by Apollo, each Dragged Holder will, immediately prior to the consummation of the Drag-Along Transaction, exercise and or convert, as applicable, such number of options, warrants or other rights to purchase or subscribe for Common Shares into Common Shares as is required so that a sufficient number of Common Shares are available to Transfer the applicable number of Drag-Along Shares beneficially owned by such Dragged Holder; provided that any Dragged Holder that holds such options, warrants or other rights to

purchase the exercise or conversion price per share of which is greater than the per share price at which the Drag-Along Shares are to be Transferred, may, in place of such exercise or conversion, submit to irrevocable cancellation thereof without any liability for payment of any exercise or conversion price with respect thereto.

(vi) Upon the closing of the sale of any Common Shares pursuant to this Section 4 , the Dragged Holders shall deliver at such closing, against payment of the purchase price therefor, certificates representing their Common Shares to be sold, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly endorsed stock powers, and evidence of the absence of Encumbrances and adverse claims with respect thereto and of such other matters as are deemed necessary by the Company for the proper transfer of such shares on the books of the Company.

(vii) If Apollo has satisfied the conditions necessary to exercise the Drag Along Right with respect to a Drag Along Transaction for 100% of the Common Shares, then during any period between the expiration of the Restricted Period and the completion of a Qualified Public Offering, in connection with a sale of at least 90% of the consolidated gross assets (excluding cash) of the Company and its Subsidiaries and assumption of at least 90% of the consolidated gross liabilities (excluding Indebtedness) of the Company and its Subsidiaries (which sale and assumption shall include the assignment and assumption of all commercial agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Popular or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand) (a “ Dragged Asset Sale ”), Apollo shall have the right (the “ Dragged Asset Sale Right ”) to require each Holder (a “ Dragged Asset Sale Holder ”) that was not entitled to a Right of First Offer or has not timely submitted its Proposed Offer, or whose Proposed Offer has been rejected in compliance with this Agreement, solely as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any requirements of Article 9.01(a) of the Puerto Rico General Corporations Law and not with respect to any of its rights under this Agreement (except (x) as expressly set forth in Section 4(d)(viii) , Section 4(d)(ix) and this Section 4(d)(vii) and (y) that no Principal Stockholder shall have a right to veto the Dragged Asset Sale pursuant to Section 3(c) solely because such Dragged Asset Sale constitutes a Restricted Asset Sale) or under the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, to vote to approve such Dragged Asset Sale; provided that (A) for so long as Popular’s Proportionate Percentage is 5% or more, Apollo shall not be permitted to exercise its Dragged Asset Sale Right unless Apollo reasonably determines that the net proceeds to be received by Popular in a Drag-Along Transaction for 100% of the Common Shares would be less, after taking account of tax, indemnification obligation and other effects, and assuming that any fees and expenses would be paid in the same manner, than the net proceeds (including the fair market value of expected distributions related to any assets retained by the Company in the Dragged Asset Sale, on a present value basis) that would be received by Popular if such transaction were structured as a Dragged Asset Sale; (B) such Dragged Asset Sale must be pursuant to a legally binding contract with a Person, after giving effect to the Dragged Asset Sale, that is Solvent (the “ Asset Acquirer ”) providing that (1) the Asset Acquirer shall acquire at least 90% of the consolidated gross assets (excluding cash) of the Company and its Subsidiaries and assume at least 90% of the consolidated gross liabilities (excluding Indebtedness) of the Company and of its Subsidiaries (including the assignment and assumption of all commercial agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Popular or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand) through one legal entity and (2) following the completion of the Dragged Asset Sale, the Company shall be liquidated and all net proceeds shall be distributed promptly to the Holders; (C) the gross liquidation

proceeds from the Dragged Asset Sale must exceed the highest Proposed Offer on a price per share basis that Apollo received within 45 days of the date of the applicable ROFO Notice; (D) unless paid in accordance with Section 4(d)(ix) , the Company must either reimburse or assume, at the Company’s option, and pay prior to distributing the proceeds from such Dragged Asset Sale, all reasonable expenses incurred by each Principal Stockholder or its Partial Rights Transferees with respect to such Dragged Asset Sale; (E) the terms and conditions of the proposed Dragged Asset Sale must be the same for Apollo and any of its Affiliates and all Dragged Asset Sale Holders, including, without limitation, the same per Common Share liquidation proceeds; (F) the Dragged Asset Sale must not result in Apollo or its Affiliates receiving any benefit or being relieved of any obligation in any manner disproportionate to any such Dragged Asset Sale Holder, other than, in either case of clauses (E) and (F), as a result of the distribution on a pro rata basis (by Common Shares beneficially owned) of the liquidation proceeds of the Dragged Asset Sale and any payments made or to be made pursuant to the Consulting Agreements, which will be governed by Section 8(h) hereof; and (G) for so long as Popular’s Proportionate Percentage is 5% or more, the Dragged Asset Sale (as compared to the adverse effect that would result if the transaction were structured as a Drag-Along Transaction that complies with the provisions of this Section 4(d) ) shall not have an adverse effect on Popular or its Subsidiaries that is not applicable to all Holders, and no such adverse effect may disproportionately (which for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any pro rata effects that derive from each Holder’s Proportional Percentage) affect Popular or its Subsidiaries (provided that any adverse or disproportionate effect arising from the assignment of any commercial arrangements between Popular and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in such Dragged Asset Sale shall be excluded in any determination under the clause (G); it being understood that the ability of the Company to make such assignment is subject to the contractual terms of such commercial arrangement). In order to exercise its Dragged Asset Sale Right, Apollo’s ROFO Notice must have specified that Apollo was considering a Dragged Asset Sale and provided that a Proposed Offer may include a proposed sale of assets and assumption of liabilities, and Apollo must deliver written notice of such proposed Dragged Asset Sale (the “ Dragged Asset Sale Notice ”) to the Company and each Dragged Asset Sale Holder within 150 days after the date of such ROFO Notice.

All requests for information by Apollo pursuant to this Section 4(d)(ix) shall be directed to an executive officer of the applicable Dragged Asset Sale Holder or such Person or Persons as may be designated by the applicable Dragged Asset Sale Holder.

(x) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4(d) shall not apply to (A) Permitted Transfers or Transfers of Common Shares to any portfolio company of Apollo’s Ultimate Parent Entity or its Affiliates, (B) Transfers of Common Shares made in a Qualified Public Offering or (C) any sale,

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM PURSUANT TO THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

The Holder of any Common Shares by acceptance thereof agrees, prior to any Transfer of any such Common Shares, to give written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such Transfer and to comply in all other respects with Section 4 and the provisions of this Section 4(f) . Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer of Common Shares. Upon request by the Company, the Holder delivering such notice shall deliver a written opinion, addressed to the Company, of counsel for the Holder of such Common Shares, stating that in the opinion of such counsel (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) such proposed Transfer does not involve a transaction

requiring registration or qualification of such shares under the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws. Such Holder of such Common Shares shall be entitled to effect a Transfer of such Common Shares in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company, if such Transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement and the Company does not reasonably object to such Transfer and request such opinion within 15 days after delivery of such notice, or, if it requests such opinion, does not reasonably object to such Transfer within 15 days after delivery of such opinion. Each certificate or other instrument evidencing any such Transferred Common Shares shall bear the legend set forth in this Section 4(f)(ii) unless (i) such opinion of counsel to the Holder of such shares (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) states that registration or qualification of any future Transfer of Common Shares is not required by the applicable provisions of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or (ii) the Company shall have waived the requirement of such legends.

(iii) Stockholders Agreement Legend . Each certificate representing shares of Common Shares shall be endorsed with the following legend:

(i) Initial Demand Registration . At any time after the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement, any Principal Stockholder (by itself or together with its Ultimate Parent Entity and its Ultimate Parent Entity’s Controlled Affiliates and any of its Partial Rights Transferees) beneficially owning, in the aggregate, 40% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (the “ Initial Requesting Holder ”) may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the Registrable Shares beneficially owned by such Initial

Requesting Holder on Form S-1 or similar long-form registration statement as part of an underwritten offering (the “ Initial Demand Registration ”); provided that such Initial Requesting Holder shall only be entitled to make such Initial Demand Registration if the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Shares to be sold in such offering is reasonably expected to be at least $75 million.

At the request of the Initial Requesting Holder, if (A) it is necessary in order to comply with the rules and regulations of any applicable Self-Regulatory Organization or (B) if the managing and lead underwriters, in their reasonable judgment, determine that it is advisable and inform the Initial Requesting Holder and the Company of such determination, the Company will cause the automatic conversion of the Class B Shares into Class A Shares as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.

(ii) Long-Form Registration . At any time after the Initial Public Offering, any Principal Stockholder or, to the extent any such rights have been assigned to any Partial Rights Transferee pursuant to Section 10(c) , its applicable Partial Rights Transferee (in such capacity, a “ Requesting Holder ”) may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the Registrable Shares beneficially owned by such Requesting Holder on Form S-1 (or any successor form) or similar long-form registration statement (a “ Long-Form Registration ”); provided that (A) subject to Section 10 , no Requesting Holder may request more than a total of four Long-Form Registrations and (B) such Requesting Holder shall only be entitled to demand such Long-Form Registration if the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Shares to be sold in such offering (including piggyback shares and before deduction of underwriting discounts) is reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, the lower of (1) $75 million and (2) if the aggregate market value of all Registrable Shares held by the Requesting Holder (or its Ultimate Parent Entity or its Controlled Affiliates) is less than $75 million but not less than $50 million, the aggregate market value of all such Registrable Shares held by such Requesting Holder (or its Ultimate Parent Entity or its Controlled Affiliates). Any Requesting Holder may request that an offering conducted under a Long-Form Registration be an underwritten offering.

(iii) Short-Form Registration . At any time at which the Company is eligible to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with respect to Common Shares, a Requesting Holder may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the Registrable Shares beneficially owned by such Requesting Holder on Form S-3 (or any successor form) or any similar short form registration statement, if available (a “ Short-Form Registration ”). Each Requesting Holder may request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations; provided that such Requesting Holder shall only be entitled to demand such Short-Form Registration if the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Shares to be sold in such offering (including piggyback shares and before deduction of underwriting discounts) is reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, the lower of (1) $50 million and (2) if the aggregate market value of all Registrable Shares held by the Requesting Holder (or its Ultimate Parent Entity or its Controlled Affiliates) is less than $50 million but not less than $25 million, the aggregate market value of all such Registrable Shares held by such Requesting Holder (or its Ultimate Parent Entity or its Controlled Affiliates).

(iv) Demand Registration Notices . All requests for Demand Registrations shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “ Demand Registration Notice ”). Each Demand Registration Notice shall specify the number of Registrable Shares proposed to be sold in the Demand Registration by the Holder giving such Demand Registration Notice.

(v) Effective Demand Registrations . A registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations until both (i) it has become effective and (ii) such effective registration includes at least 75% of the Registrable Shares requested to be included by the Requesting Holder; provided that a Demand Registration that is withdrawn at the sole request of the Requesting Holder who demanded such Demand Registration shall not count as a Demand Registration of such Requesting Holder if the Company is reimbursed by such Holder for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such registration, including all Registration Expenses.

(vi) Short-Form Registrations . Regardless of a request for a Long-Form Registration, Registration Statements shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use an applicable short form.

(vii) Priority on Demand Registrations . The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Shares without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares requested to be registered on such Registration Statement and each Principal Stockholder who has requested Registrable Shares that would constitute at least 10% of the Registrable Shares to be included in the Demand Registration, except as set forth in the next sentence. If the Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters for such Demand Registration advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Shares and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number of Registrable Shares and other securities, if any, which can be sold in such offering without significantly delaying or jeopardizing the success of such offering, including by selling at a price per share within a price range reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares requested to be included in the Demand Registration, including, if any securities other than Registrable Shares are to be included in such Demand Registration, each Principal Stockholder who has requested Registrable Shares that would constitute at least 10% of the Registrable Shares to be included in the Demand Registration, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the number of Registrable Shares which can be so sold in the following order of priority: (A) first , the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Demand Registration, pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of the total number of Registrable Shares beneficially owned by each such Holder, and (B) second , all other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder; provided however that with respect to the Initial Demand Registration only, the order priority shall be as follows: (1) first , the securities the Company proposed to sell; (2) second , the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Demand Registration, pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of the total number of

Registrable Shares beneficially owned by each such Holder, and (3) third , all other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder.

(viii) Restrictions on Demand Registrations . The Company shall not be obligated to effect (i) any Long-Form Registration within 120 days or (ii) any Short-Form Registration within 90 days, in each case, after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration or a previous registration statement in which the Holders of Registrable Shares were given piggyback rights pursuant to Section 5(c) of this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration during the period starting with the date that is 60 days prior to the Board’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on the date that is 90 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration statement, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and provided further that, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the aggregate number of days that any one or more Demand Registrations are suspended or delayed by operation of this Section 5(a)(viii) shall not exceed 120 days in any 12-month period. In the event of any such suspension or delay, the Holder of Registrable Shares initially requesting a Demand Registration that is suspended by operation of this Section 5(a)(viii) shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations hereunder, and, notwithstanding the proviso in Section 5(a)(v) , the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration.

(ix) Selection of Underwriters . Except as set forth in this Section 5(a)(ix) , the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares requested to be included in a Demand Registration which is an underwritten offering shall have the right to select the underwriters and managing underwriter (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the Company’s approval (and in the event such Holders control a majority of the Board and the managing underwriter or any other underwriter selected by such Holders is not one of the investment banks listed on Annex II attached hereto (or a successor entity of the applicable investment bank), the other Principal Stockholder’s approval), in each case, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Popular Securities, Inc. will be notified of the initial organizational meeting for any such registration and, if Popular Securities, Inc. is not selected as the managing underwriter, the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares requested to be included in a Demand Registration will consider in good faith including it as a co-lead underwriter or co-lead book-running manager of such registration. If a Principal Stockholder who requested Registrable Shares that would constitute at least 10% of the Registrable Shares to be included in a Demand Registration so requests, each Principal Stockholder who has requested Registrable Shares that would constitute at least 10% of the Registrable Shares to be included in such Demand Registration shall, acting together, select one co-lead underwriter mutually agreeable to such Principal Stockholders, which (A) shall be one of the investment banks listed on Annex II attached hereto and (B) shall not be an Affiliate of any of such Principal Stockholders (the “ DR Selected Underwriter ”).

(w) Shelf Registrations .

(i) Filing . At any time after the one year anniversary of the Initial Public Offering, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, no later than 45 days following any written request from any Requesting Holder, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) or any similar short-form registration statement filed with the Commission for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “ Form S-3 Shelf ”) covering the resale of the Registrable Shares.

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any such Holder may otherwise have.

(iii) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5(h) of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5(h) , notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (A) will not relieve it from liability under Section 5(h)(i) or Section 5(h)(ii) above unless and to the extent such action and such failure results in material prejudice to the indemnifying party and forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (B) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 5(h)(i) or Section 5(h)(ii) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, except as provided in the next sentence, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s rights set forth in the prior sentence, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel (and one local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if: (1) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest; (2) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (3) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (4) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. No

indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general circumstances or allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in the prior sentence, an indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel (and one local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if: (1) the use of one counsel for all indemnified parties to represent such indemnified party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest; (2) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include multiple indemnified parties and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the other indemnified parties; or (3) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 5(h) to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise unless such settlement or compromise (x) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein, to such indemnified party, of a full and final release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and (y) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(iv) The provisions of this Section 5(h) will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder of Registrable Shares or the Company or any of the officers, directors or Controlling Persons referred to in this Section 5(h) hereof, and will survive the Transfer of Registrable Shares.

(dd) Contribution .

(i) In the event that the indemnity provided in Section 5(h) above is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless (other than as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 5(h)) an indemnified party for any reason against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any matters for which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of Section 5(h) , then each applicable indemnifying party agrees to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending same) (collectively, “ Losses ”) to which such indemnifying party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and by the indemnified party on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable Law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such Losses paid or payable by such indemnified party for which such indemnified party is entitled to

indemnification by such indemnifying party in accordance with the terms of Section 5(h) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the parties as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand or the indemnified party on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(ii) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(i) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders of Registrable Shares or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 5(i) . The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 5(i) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(i) , no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(iv) For purposes of this Section 5(i) , each Person who Controls any Holder of Registrable Shares, agent or underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of any such Holder, agent or underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, agent or underwriter, and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 5(i) .

(v) The provisions of this Section 5(i) will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder of Registrable Shares or the Company or any of the officers, directors or Controlling Persons referred to in this Section 5(i) hereof, and will survive the Transfer of Registrable Shares.

(ee) Rule 144 and Rule 144A; Other Exemptions . With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (but only in compliance with this Agreement), the Company covenants that it will (i) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and (ii) take such further action as each Holder may reasonably request (including, but not limited to, providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act, if available with

respect to resales of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act), at all times from and after the date which is 90 days following the Initial Public Offering, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Shares in compliance with this Agreement without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (x) Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Shares) under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time or (y) any other rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance.

(ff) Private Placement . Except for Section 4 and Section 5(d), the Company agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Holders, at any time and from time to time, from selling or otherwise transferring Registrable Shares pursuant to a private placement or other transaction which is not registered pursuant to the Securities Act. To the extent requested by a Holder, the Company shall take all reasonable steps necessary to assist and cooperate with such Holder to facilitate such sale or transfer, including providing due diligence access to potential purchasers, and entering into a private placement agreement containing customary representations and warranties, indemnifications, opinions and other typical closing conditions.

(gg) Other Registration Rights .

(i) The Company represents and warrants that, except as set forth in this Agreement, the Company is not a party to, or otherwise subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other Person with respect to any equity securities of the Company.

(ii) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Holders shall no longer hold any Registrable Shares, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares beneficially owned by the Principal Stockholders and their Affiliates, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any equity securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder demand or incidental registration rights containing cut-back provisions that are by their terms not subordinate to the registration rights granted in this Agreement.

(hh) Underwriter Cutback . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5, if the managing underwriters for an underwritten offering advise the Company in writing that their opinion that the inclusion of all Registrable Shares proposed to be included in any registration by any Holder would significantly jeopardize the success of such offering (including selling at a price per share that is an unreasonable discount to the price that could be achieved taking into account any prices quoted on any national securities exchange, if applicable, for the Registrable Shares), then the number of such Registrable Shares proposed to be included in such registration by each Holder shall be reduced to such lower number of Registrable Shares that the managing underwriters advise such Holder may sell; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be done on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Proportionate Percentages (assuming for the purposes of this calculation the full conversion of all Class B Shares into Class A Shares) of such Holders immediately prior to such offering, except, if (i) a Principal

Stockholder has the right to request the selection of a Selected Underwriter with respect to such underwritten offering and has made a request for such selection, (ii) a Selected Underwriter has been selected pursuant to such request and (iii) such Selected Underwriter agrees that (A) such pro rata reduction would significantly jeopardize the success of such offering (including selling at a price per share that is an unreasonable discount to the price that could be achieved taking into account any prices quoted on any national securities exchange, if applicable, for the Registrable Shares) and (B) that the proposed reduction is as close to pro rata as is feasible without significantly jeopardizing the success of such offering (including selling at a price per share that is an unreasonable discount to the price that could be achieved taking into account any prices quoted on any national securities exchange, if applicable, for the Registrable Shares).

(ii) Termination . The obligations of any Holder and of the Company with respect to such Holder, other than those obligations contained in Section 5(h) and Section 5(i), shall terminate as soon as both such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Shares.

Any Refused Securities not purchased by one or more New Investors in accordance with this Section 6(a) within 60 days after the expiration of the Preemptive Offer Period may not be sold or otherwise disposed of until they are again offered to the Principal Stockholders under the procedures specified in this Section 6(a) .

(B) If such termination is (a) by the Company without Cause or (b) due to death or disability of such Redeemed Holder, then the price to be paid by such Repurchaser to repurchase each Common Share shall be an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Common Share as of such Redeemed Holder’s Service Termination Date (in the case of options and warrants, less the exercise price thereof).

(C) The purchase price to be paid by a Repurchaser shall be paid, at the election of such Repurchaser, either (a) in cash in a single lump sum payment or (b) in consideration of a five-year subordinated promissory note issued by such Repurchaser (such note bearing interest equal to 5.0% per annum) or (c) a combination of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b).

Should the Company elect to exercise the Repurchase Rights pursuant to this Section 9 and such Redeemed Holder fails to deliver all of such Common Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, cancel on its books the Common Shares (and options and warrants, to the extent applicable) registered in the name of the Redeemed Holder. All such Redeemed Holder’s right, title, and interest in and to such Common Shares (and options and warrants, to the extent applicable) shall terminate in all respects.

(iv) For purposes of this Section 9 , “ Repurchase Period ” shall mean the 12 months following the applicable Service Termination Date; provided that such 12-month period shall be tolled if the Company determines that the purchase of such Common Shares (together with any other purchases of Common Shares pursuant to this Section 9 , or pursuant to similar provisions in any other agreements with other investors of which the Company has at such time been given or has given notice), would result (1) in a violation of any applicable Law or (2) after giving effect thereto (including any dividends or other distributions or loans from a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company in connection therewith), in a violation of any

Furthermore, each individual Management Holder agrees to cause his or her spouse (and any subsequent spouse) to execute and deliver, upon the request of the Company, a counterpart of this Agreement, or an Adoption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A or in a form satisfactory to the Company and each Principal Stockholder whose Proportionate Percentage is 5% or more.

Each Management Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Company would be irreparably damaged if such Management Holder were to provide services to any Person competing with the Company or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or engaged in a similar business and that such competition by such Management Holder would result in a significant loss of goodwill by the Company. Therefore, each of the Management Holders agrees that during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the later of (i) the first anniversary of the date on which such Management Holder ceases to be a Holder of Common Shares, (ii) the second anniversary of the Repurchase Event of such Management Holder and (iii) the date on which such Management Holder ceases to receive any payments related to salary, bonus or severance from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or, in the case of any payment made in a lump sum, the expiration of the period to which such payment relates) (the “ Non-Compete Period ”), such Management Holder shall not (and shall cause each of his or its Affiliates not to) directly or indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in (whether as an officer, director, manager, employee, partner, equityholder, member, agent, representative or otherwise), consult with, render services for, or in any other manner engage in any business engaged directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world, in the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted or proposed to be conducted as of the Repurchase Event of such Management Holder; provided, that nothing herein shall prohibit any of the Management Holders or their Affiliates from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded so long as none of such Persons has any active participation in the business of such corporation.

(ggg) Policies . Each Management Holder hereby agrees to be bound by and to act in accordance with the Policies.

Assignment.

(hhh) No Assignment . Unless otherwise provided herein, no Holder may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Principal Stockholders. Any assignment in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

(iii) Assignment in Whole . Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Principal Stockholder may assign, in whole, but not in part, its rights under this Agreement as a Principal

Stockholder (including, without limitation, its Board Quorum Rights, Board Rights, Committee Rights, Subsidiary Board Rights, Stockholder Quorum Rights, Consent Action Rights, Tag-Along Rights, Registration Rights, Preemptive Rights, Inspection Rights and Information Rights) to any Complete Rights Transferee (an “ Assignment in Whole ”). Following an Assignment in Whole, such Complete Rights Transferee may assign, in whole, but not in part, its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Complete Rights Transferee Transfers 100% of the Common Shares acquired by such Complete Rights Transferee pursuant to the transaction, or series of related transactions, giving rise to the Assignment in Whole.

(jjj) Assignment in Part . Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Principal Stockholder may assign (i) its 5% Board Right or its 10% Board Right to any Partial Rights Transferee; provided that at no time during the term of this Agreement shall the total number of Board Rights held by a Principal Stockholder and its Partial Rights Transferees exceed, in the aggregate, the total number of Board Rights such Principal Stockholder would have been entitled to had no such assignment of Board Rights been made; or (ii) its right to demand a Long-Form Registration (a “ Long-Form Demand Right ”) to any Partial Rights Transferee (any assignment, set forth in this Section 10(c), an “ Assignment in Part ”); provided that (x) no Principal Stockholder may assign, in the aggregate, more than two Long-Form Demand Rights and (y) at no time during the term of this Agreement shall the total number of Long-Form Demand Rights held by a Principal Stockholder and its Partial Rights Transferees exceed, in the aggregate, the total number of Long-Form Demand Rights such Principal Stockholder would have been entitled to had no such assignment of Long-Form Demand Rights been made.

(kkk) Additional Rights Received by Partial Rights Transferees . Upon becoming a party to this Agreement, a Partial Rights Transferee shall be granted the rights set forth in this Agreement applicable to Partial Rights Transferees, including Committee Rights, Subsidiary Board Rights, Stockholder Quorum Rights, Tag-Along Rights, Preemptive Rights, Inspection Rights and Information Rights (collectively, the “ Partial Rights Transferee Rights ”), (i) in each case, only if such Partial Rights Transferee meets any applicable ownership thresholds and (ii) in the case of Committee Rights and Subsidiary Board Rights, only if such Partial Rights Transferee has been assigned a 5% Board Right or 10% Board Right. For the avoidance of doubt and subject to Section 10(c) , the grant of the Partial Rights Transferee Rights to any Partial Rights Transferee pursuant to this Section 10(d) in and by itself shall not cause the loss of any such rights by the assigning Principal Stockholder.

(lll) Binding Effect . Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Holders (including any Management Holders and any spouses of such Management Holders) and the Company.

(ppp) Specific Performance; Remedies . Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably and would not have an adequate remedy at

Law if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at Law or in equity, each party will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its provisions, without bond or other security being required. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights and remedies created by this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies otherwise available at Law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing herein will be considered an election of remedies or a waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled.

This Agreement and all claims and causes of action arising hereunder or relating hereto will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that the Chosen Courts (as defined below) not apply the internal affairs doctrine for the purposes of any litigation, action, suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter hereof to the extent that such doctrine would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of New York to this Agreement or claim or cause of action arising hereunder. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally consents, agrees and submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court, in each case, located in the Borough of Manhattan and not in any other State or Federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country (and appropriate appellate courts therefrom) (the “ Chosen Courts ”), for the purposes of any litigation, action, suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter hereof. Each party agrees to commence any litigation, action, suit or proceeding relating hereto only in the Chosen Courts. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any litigation, action, suit or proceeding with respect to the subject matter hereof in the Chosen Courts, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such litigation, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(rrr) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION PERMITTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12(F).

(sss) No Recourse .

(ttt) Amendments . Other than with respect to amendments to Schedule I attached hereto, which may be amended by the Company to reflect additional Holders, this Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified without the written consent of (x) the Holders holding at least a majority of the Class A Shares of the Company then outstanding and (y) for so long as any Principal Stockholder’s Proportionate Percentage is at least 10%, such Principal Stockholder; provided, however, that (i) any such amendment, supplement or modification that by its terms affects the rights or obligations of any Holder in a manner that is materially adverse and substantially different relative to other Holders shall not be enforceable against such Holder without the written consent of such Holder, and (ii) the written consent of the Company shall be required, in the event that any such amendment, supplement or modification imposes a burden or obligation on the Company or adversely affects a benefit or right of the Company under this Agreement.

(uuu) Extensions; Waivers . Any party may, for itself only, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right or remedy.

(vvv) Severability . The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party or to any circumstance, is judicially determined not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties agree that the court judicially making such determination may modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its modified form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

(www) No Third-Party Beneficiaries . The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except for the Company’s underwriters as set forth in Section 5(d) , there are no third-party beneficiaries having rights under or with respect to this Agreement, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person.

(xxx) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

(yyy) Headings . The heading references herein and the table of contents hereof are for convenience purposes only, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(zzz) Construction . This Agreement has been freely and fairly negotiated among the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any law will be deemed to refer to such law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party has breached any covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first covenant.

This Agreement is executed by the Company and by each Holder and spouse of each Management Holder to be effective as of the date first above written.

Any Dispute that remains unresolved for more than twenty (20) days after the receipt of a Notice of Dispute shall be referred to designated representatives of the parties hereto who shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute (the “Resolution Forum” ). If a Dispute is not resolved in the Resolution Forum, the Dispute shall be submitted to the consideration of a representative from the senior management of EVERTEC who shall be identified in a written notice delivered to the Popular Parties from time to time, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Chief Information Officer of BPPR and the Chief Operating Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of Popular. Any Disputes that may remain unresolved for more than ninety (90) days following the receipt of a Notice of Dispute may be referred to binding arbitration at the request of any party upon written notice to the other. Such arbitration proceeding will be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules and will be aired in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The arbitration will be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 to the exclusion of any provision of state law inconsistent therewith or which would produce a different result. A panel of three neutral arbitrators will determine the Dispute of the parties and render a final award in accordance with the applicable substantive law. If the Dispute is between EVERTEC, on the one hand, and one or both of the Popular Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, on the other hand, each of EVERTEC and the Popular Parties shall select one neutral arbitrator and, unless those parties agree on a third neutral arbitrator, such two arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator (subject to such limitations, if any, mutually agreed by those parties). If the Dispute is between the Popular Parties, than each of the Popular Parties shall select one neutral arbitrator and, unless those parties agree on a third neutral arbitrator, such two arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator (subject to such limitations, if any, mutually agreed by those parties). Strict confidentiality will govern the arbitration proceedings, including all information submitted to the arbitrator and the decision or award entered by the arbitrator. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator. The terms hereof will

not limit any obligation of a party to defend, indemnify or hold harmless another party against court proceedings or other Losses. The procedures specified in this section will be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of Disputes among the parties arising out of or relating to this Master Agreement; provided, however, that a party may request temporary remedies in a court of law to maintain the status quo or to protect goods or property until the arbitration has initiated and the selected arbitrator has had the opportunity to resolve the request for temporary relief. Each party is required to continue to perform its obligations under this Master Agreement pending final resolution of any Dispute arising out of or relating to this Master Agreement, unless to do so would be impossible or impracticable under the circumstances.

1.16.		Cumulative Remedies . Except as otherwise expressly provided, all rights and remedies provided for in this Master Agreement will be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to any party at law, in equity or otherwise and will not serve to exclude the exercise of any right or remedy provided by law.

EVERTEC may amend or supplement the Outsourcing Policy in its sole discretion; provided that any outsourcing of Services will not be subject to the applicable amendment or supplement unless (a) Popular and BPPR have provided their written consent to the applicable amendment or supplement or (b) such amendment or supplement is required by Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EVERTEC shall remain exclusively and fully responsible and liable towards COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries for the due performance of such Services by such subcontractors and there shall be no direct relationship whatsoever between COMPANY, BPPR, or their respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such subcontractors, on the other.

EVERTEC Change of Control.

period then such 30-day period shall be tolled until EVERTEC satisfies its obligations under Section 1.31(b) and provided further that if an EVERTEC Change of Control occurs, and EVERTEC fails to provide Popular and BPPR written notice thereof within 30 days thereof, then Popular and BPPR shall have an unqualified right to terminate this Agreement), unless (w) the Person or Group of Persons proposing to engage in such proposed EVERTEC Change of Control transaction (the “Control Acquirer” ) is identified to Popular by EVERTEC at least 30 Business Days prior to such proposed EVERTEC Change of Control; (x) neither the Control Acquirer nor any of its Affiliates is engaged, directly or indirectly, in the banking, securities, insurance or lending business, from which they derive aggregate annual revenues from Puerto Rico in excess of $50 million unless none of them has a physical presence in Puerto Rico that is used to conduct any such business; (y) EVERTEC (or its successor, as applicable) will be Solvent immediately after and giving effect to such proposed EVERTEC Change of Control; and (z) EVERTEC (or its successor, as applicable), after the proposed EVERTEC Change of Control, will be capable of providing the Services at the level of service that is required under this Master Agreement; provided further that if Popular, BPPR or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates votes in favor of the transaction resulting in the EVERTEC Change of Control or Transfers (other than a Transfer in the context of a merger, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction) any equity securities in connection with the transaction resulting in the EVERTEC Change of Control and, in either case, was not compelled to do so as part of a Drag-Along Transaction, a Dragged Asset Sale or other requirement of the Stockholder Agreement or any other Group Agreement with respect to Holdco, EVERTEC or any successor or other entity holding all or substantially all the assets of EVERTEC and its Subsidiaries, then such termination right shall not apply.

	b)		Cooperation. EVERTEC shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Popular and BPPR in evaluating whether any proposed EVERTEC Change of Control would be in compliance with the requirements of this Section 1.31 including the ability of Assignee Sub or Asset Acquirer, as applicable, to comply with the terms of this Master Agreement, including, in each case, by providing any non-confidential information regarding the purposes and plans in connection with such proposed EVERTEC Change of Control other than information that would create any potential liability under Legal Requirements, violate any confidentiality obligation, or that reasonably would be expected to result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege.

	c)		Notice of Objection. If EVERTEC provides at least 30 days’ written notice to Popular and BPPR prior to an EVERTEC Change of Control, BPPR and/or Popular shall notify EVERTEC in writing within 15 Business Days following receipt of EVERTEC’s notice of the proposed EVERTEC Change of Control of any objection to any proposed EVERTEC Change of Control on the basis that it does not satisfy the criteria set forth in clauses (w) through (z) of Section 1.31(a) (unless EVERTEC has failed to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 1.31(b) and Popular or BPPR asserts such failure prior to the expiration of the 15 Business Day objection period, in which case such 15 Business Day objection period shall be tolled until EVERTEC satisfies its obligations pursuant to Section 1.31(b)).

	c)		If EVERTEC and the Popular Parties, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, agree from time to time upon terms and prices for certain Services, then EVERTEC, on the one hand, and the Popular Parties or any of their appropriate respective Subsidiaries, on the other hand, will execute a separate addendum (each, a “Service Addendum” ) setting forth the mutually agreed upon terms and prices for such Services. Each such Service Addendum will be incorporated and, to the extent not incompatible, will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement. Nothing herein will be interpreted as imposing an obligation upon EVERTEC to develop new Services, or upon COMPANY, BPPR, or any of their respective Subsidiaries to acquire any additional Services from EVERTEC. The parties agree that regardless if a Service is set forth in a Service Addendum or not, the pricing relative to any and all Services will be set forth in Exhibit B , which will serve as a master list of the Services and corresponding pricing.

2.2		Service Personnel . EVERTEC agrees that it will use its Best Efforts to assign qualified, adequately trained, and efficient professionals and personnel who will use their Best Efforts to discharge their obligations under this Master Agreement in an efficient and timely manner and to exercise reasonable care in performing the Services subject to the terms and conditions of each Service.

2.3		Service Level Agreement . The Services will be rendered in a commercially reasonable manner, in accordance with the performance standards and service levels applicable to the Service in question, generally accepted industry practices and procedures used in performing services of a like-kind to the Services but no less than with the same degree of care and diligence practiced prior to the date hereof (the “Service Levels” ). Unless agreed to otherwise in writing by the parties, all Service Levels will be subject to the general terms and conditions of the Service Level Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (together with Schedule 1 to Exhibit C , the “Service Level Agreement” ), which was entered into under, and incorporated into, the 2010 MSA and is further incorporated into this Master Agreement by reference. Furthermore, the parties agree that EVERTEC’s performance levels and procedures for Services for which no Service Level or procedures have been expressly defined shall be no less than the performance levels and procedures prior to the date hereof or, to the extent any such Services have not been provided to COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, such Services shall be

provided at Service Levels that are at least consistent with then prevailing industry standards or as mutually agreed to by the parties. The parties agree that regardless if a Service is set forth in a Service Addendum or not, if the Service is subject to Service Levels, such Service Levels will be set forth in Schedule 1 of the Service Level Agreement which will serve as a master list of all Service Levels applicable to the Services COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries receive hereunder. The parties agree that Schedule 1 will be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis following the Effective Date hereof. Any changes to the Service Levels set forth in Schedule 1 shall be agreed to by the parties by executing an amended and restated Schedule 1 clearly denoting the date any such changes become effective. The parties agree that they shall negotiate in good faith with respect to any disputes arising from the updating of Schedule 1 .

2.4

	d)		EVERTEC shall exercise Best Efforts to correct, resolve and/or reprocess the Errors reported to EVERTEC by COMPANY or BPPR within a commercially reasonable time period.

2.5

Specifications for Services .

	a)		Based on COMPANY’s and BPPR’s instructions, EVERTEC will establish the processing parameter settings, features and options (collectively, the “Specifications” ) for the Services that will apply to COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries (including all control and verification mechanisms utilized in each processing function related to the Services).

	b)		The parties agree that unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, the Specifications will be derived from or in compliance with the respective terms and conditions established or documented by the parties using means such as, but not limited to: (i) electronic systems used to register service requests; (ii) operational manuals of COMPANY, BPPR, or their respective Subsidiaries provided to EVERTEC; (iii) SOWs; (iv) service standard forms provided by COMPANY, BPPR and/or a Client to EVERTEC; and (v) any other written instructions that may be provided by COMPANY or BPPR to EVERTEC from time to time; provided, that in the event any Specification is documented by the parties pursuant to clauses (i) — (v) in this Section 2.5 and such Specification relates to a recurring Service (as opposed to a definitive project), Exhibit B shall be amended to include such Specification and the corresponding fee agreed to by the parties.

	c)		COMPANY will certify and approve all Specifications and modifications thereof before their activation in the production environment. EVERTEC will perform system processing and provide the Services in accordance with the Specifications.

EVERTEC be required to procure hardware, software or other items in order to perform the Services in accordance with the Specifications, (i) COMPANY, BPPR, or one of their respective Subsidiaries may subscribe to a separate license agreement for such software; and/or (ii) EVERTEC will pass through and assign to COMPANY, BPPR, or one of their respective Subsidiaries all warranties provided by the manufacturer(s) and/or licensor(s) of such items; provided, however that all disclaimers and/or limitations of liabilities relating to such software, hardware or other items will be deemed extended to include EVERTEC.

2.6

Modifications to Services .

	a)		Subject to Section 8.2, EVERTEC reserves the right to change, modify, enhance or upgrade the manner in which it renders the Services, at any time, provided, however, that any change, modification, enhancement or upgrade does not adversely affect the functionality of the Services, the fees for such Service and/or the agreed upon Service Levels, as applicable, and provided that (i) EVERTEC provides written notice of such modification to COMPANY and BPPR at least forty-five (45) days prior to implementation of any such change, modification, enhancement or upgrade, (ii) such notice describes in reasonable detail the change, modification, enhancement or upgrade to be made by such modification and EVERTEC promptly answers any reasonable inquiries of COMPANY, BPPR, or one of their respective Subsidiaries regarding such change, modification, enhancement or upgrade and (iii) neither COMPANY nor BPPR delivers a written notice to EVERTEC prior to such implementation that it reasonably believes that such change, modification, enhancement or upgrade would be likely to adversely affect its or one of its Subsidiaries’ compliance with applicable Legal Requirements.

	b)		Any change, modification, enhancement or upgrade requested or required by COMPANY or BPPR that is not a Mandatory Enhancement or a Supplemental Mandatory Enhancement (a “Requested Enhancement” ) will require written notice to EVERTEC. Upon receipt of such notice, EVERTEC will exercise Best Efforts to prepare and present to COMPANY or BPPR, as soon as possible, a written estimate of the costs for the Requested Enhancement and any adjustment in fees that may be necessary as a result thereof. EVERTEC’s Best Efforts will take into consideration the business needs of COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries and any timeframes for implementation related thereto. The parties will have a period of thirty (30) days following the receipt of the estimate to negotiate in good faith any costs and/or price adjustments. Should the parties be unable to arrive at mutually agreed upon costs and/or price adjustments within such thirty (30) day time period, the changes will not be developed by EVERTEC and this Master Agreement will continue in full force in effect under the then current terms and conditions; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Master Agreement, COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Technology Agreement, have such changes developed by another contractor of COMPANY, BPPR, or one of their respective Subsidiaries. In cooperation with such contractor, EVERTEC will implement the developed changes into the Services.

2.7

Mandatory Enhancements .

	a)		Subject to Section 8.2, EVERTEC will provide change, modification, enhancement or upgrade to certain Services to ensure that those Services permit COMPANY, BPPR, or their respective Subsidiaries to comply with mandatory changes in COMPANY’s, BPPR’s, or their respective Subsidiaries’ Legal Requirements (the “Mandatory Enhancements” ).

	b)		EVERTEC shall consult with COMPANY and BPPR, as well as other EVERTEC customers affected by the relevant Mandatory Enhancement, regarding the interpretation of the relevant Legal Requirements as well as the strategy for implementation of the Mandatory Enhancement. Ultimately, the design and implementation of the Mandatory Enhancement shall be based on EVERTEC’s reasonable interpretation of the relevant Legal Requirement and its understanding of the Services affected thereby.

	c)		EVERTEC may charge COMPANY or BPPR at the time and material rates set forth in Exhibit B , as applicable, for development hours expended on Mandatory Enhancements for COMPANY, BPPR, or any of their respective Subsidiaries on a prorated basis. The costs will be proportionately allocated among EVERTEC’s affected customers. Any such charges shall be disclosed to COMPANY and BPPR as soon as reasonably possible following the consultations described in Section 2.7(b), including a description of how they are to be calculated and allocated among COMPANY, BPPR, and their appropriate respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and EVERTEC’s other affected customers, on the other. If COMPANY or BPPR can reasonably demonstrate that it or its applicable Subsidiary is not subject to the Legal Requirement that is the subject of a given Mandatory Enhancement, COMPANY, BPPR, and their appropriate respective Subsidiaries shall not be charged any development fees for such enhancement.

In the event that COMPANY, BPPR or any of their respective Subsidiaries requests other changes, modifications, enhancements or upgrades to the Services that are different from or in addition to, but requested in connection with, Mandatory Enhancements (the “Supplemental Mandatory Enhancements” ), then, provided EVERTEC agrees to make such changes, modifications, enhancements or upgrades (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld), COMPANY, BPPR or any of their Subsidiaries that request a Supplemental Mandatory Enhancement, shall be charged a development fee at the time and material rates specified in Exhibit B , as applicable. EVERTEC may charge COMPANY, BPPR or any of their Subsidiaries that request a Supplemental Mandatory Enhancement, an ongoing usage fee for any new Service resulting from (i) Mandatory Enhancements to the extent charged its other customers, or (ii) Supplemental Mandatory Enhancements.

2.8

Non-Circumvention Covenants .

EVERTEC agrees that it shall not directly initiate or procure any negotiations or contacts with any Client that are designed or intended to:

	(i)		induce, cause, or propose to any Client to terminate any of the accounts and/or any other business relationships such Client may have with COMPANY, BPPR, or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including but not limited to accounts or relationships for which COMPANY, BPPR, or their respective Subsidiaries shall have engaged EVERTEC to provide any of the Services); or

	(ii)		induce, cause, or propose to any Client to seek to transfer such accounts and/or business relationships from COMPANY, BPPR, or their respective Subsidiaries to another Person.

The Popular Parties agree that they shall not, nor cause any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly initiate or procure any negotiations or contacts with any of EVERTEC’s clients or service providers that are designed or intended to:

	(i)		induce, cause, or propose to any such client or service provider to (A) terminate any of the accounts and/or any other business relationships such client may have directly with EVERTEC, as applicable or (B) modify the terms of such client’s or service provider’s agreement(s) with EVERTEC in a manner that is adverse to EVERTEC, or

	(ii)		induce, cause, or propose to any such client or service provider of EVERTEC to (A) reduce or curtail the amount or type of services or goods that EVERTEC provides, sells or receives from or to such client or service provider, (B) reduce the amount of business with, prices paid to, or revenue from, a client, (C) increase the prices paid by a service provider or (D) seek to transfer such accounts and/or business relationships from EVERTEC to another Person;

provided, that the mere fact that COMPANY, BPPR, or one of their respective Subsidiaries shall have engaged EVERTEC to provide any of the Services to its Clients will not cause such Clients to be considered “clients” or “accounts” and/or “business relationships” of EVERTEC for purposes of this Section.

EVERTEC also acknowledges the requirements of the Interagency Guidance on Response Programs for Unauthorized Access to Customer Information and Customer Notice issued by bank regulatory agencies on March 29, 2005, regarding implementing effective notification procedures in the event of unauthorized access to Customer Information. As such, the parties acknowledge and agree that EVERTEC shall be responsible for the unauthorized or fraudulent application for, access to or use of the Customer Information by any entity caused by the negligent acts or omissions of EVERTEC, its employees, subcontractors or agents. If EVERTEC becomes aware of any actual or suspected security breach involving unauthorized access ( i.e. , physical trespass on a secure facility, computing systems intrusion/hacking, loss/theft of a PC (laptop or desktop), loss/theft of printed materials, etc.) to the Customer Information, that either compromises or in EVERTEC’s reasonable judgment may have compromised the Customer Information, EVERTEC shall report such incident within forty-eight (48) hours in writing to COMPANY, BPPR, or one of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, and describe in reasonable detail the circumstances surrounding such unauthorized access (including, without limitation, a description of the causes of such breach). Any report under this Section shall include a brief summary of the steps being taken by EVERTEC to remedy such breach. Except as may be strictly required by Legal Requirements, EVERTEC agrees that it will not inform any Third Party of any such security breach without Popular’s, or its applicable Affiliate’s, prior written consent; however, if such disclosure is required by Legal Requirements, EVERTEC agrees to reasonably cooperate with COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries regarding the content of such disclosure so as to minimize any potential adverse impact upon COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries and their clients and customers.

5.4		Remedies . In the event of any court order or legal action requiring the disclosure of Confidential Information, the Receiving Party agrees to give immediate verbal and written notification of the order or action to the Disclosing Party, and to the extent allowable under the law and at the expense of the Disclosing Party, hold the Confidential Information while the Disclosing Party seeks a protective order. The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that it would be difficult to fully compensate the Disclosing Party for damages resulting from the breach or threatened breach of the foregoing provisions and, accordingly, that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, at equity or otherwise, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief, including, without limitation, temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, to enforce such provisions without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond or any other security. This provision with respect to injunctive relief will not, however, diminish the Disclosing Party’s right to claim and recover damages.

5.5		Term of Obligation . Unless indicated otherwise in writing, the parties’ obligations under this Section will survive this Master Agreement for a period of three (3) years following termination hereof. Upon termination of this Master Agreement for any reason, the Receiving Party’s rights to possession and use of any Confidential Information in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder or otherwise will terminate. Upon the request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return or destroy (in either case under certification to said effect) all Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party, including all copies thereof. Should the Receiving Party be required by law to retain any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for a period longer than the Term of this Master Agreement, including any extension thereof, then the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Section will remain in full force and effect until the expiration of any such legally mandated

retention period.

	b)		COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries’ Authorized Persons agree to comply with all of EVERTEC’s requirements in relation to the security of the EVERTEC computing environment and Authorized Locations, including, without limitation, any subsequently agreed security plan or information processing requirements that may be embodied in any Service Addendum.

Further, if any Authorized Person of COMPANY, BPPR, or their respective Subsidiaries, at any time during the life of this Master Agreement, is granted remote access to EVERTEC’s network, or is telecommuting in any capacity, then such person will be subject to additional EVERTEC data security requirements.

	c)		Should the Services require access codes or other identification methods to gain access, each party will immediately notify the appropriate other party or parties in writing of any change of Authorized Person or the scope of his/her authority. Until such notification is received, each party may accept, without further inquiry, all declarations, instructions or representations made or issued by the Authorized Person. Furthermore, the parties will not assume responsibility, explicitly or implicitly, for questioning or verifying with the other parties whether the Person who uses or has access to the Service is in fact the Authorized Person or if he/she is acting in accordance with another party’s internal policies and procedures.

6.3

Ownership of Company Data .

Each of COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries will remain the sole and exclusive owner of its Company Data and Confidential Information, regardless of whether such data is maintained on magnetic tape, magnetic disk, or any other storage or processing device.

In the alternative, COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries will be given the opportunity to enter into license agreements directly with such Third Parties. The parties agree that, subject to the Legal Requirements and to existing agreements with Third Parties, or except as otherwise expressly agreed to among the parties, each of COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries is and shall remain as the owner of its Intellectual Property, and all derivative works based thereon.

7.5		Intellectual Property Infringement .

	c)		EVERTEC will have no liability for any claim of infringement and thus no obligation to defend and indemnify COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries under this Section if such infringement claim is based on (i) COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries’ continued use of the affected Intellectual Property after EVERTEC notifies COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries to discontinue use because of such a claim; (ii) COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries’ use of a superseded or altered release of the affected Intellectual Property or any portion thereof, including, but not limited to, COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries’ failure to use updates or new releases made available by EVERTEC, but only to the extent that such claim would have been avoided but for such failure; (iii) any modification by COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries or a Third Party to the affected Intellectual Property, but only to the extent that such claim would have been avoided, but for such modification; (iv) COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries’ use of the affected Intellectual Property without EVERTEC’s written consent; (v) COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries’ use, operation or combination of the affected Intellectual Property with information, software, specifications, instructions, data, materials or items not supplied or approved by EVERTEC, but only to the extent that such claim would have been avoided but for such combined use; (vi) use of the affected Intellectual Property in a manner not intended by the accompanying and provided documentation; or (vii) COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries’ misuse of the affected Intellectual Property.

	e)		COMPANY and BPPR agree to notify EVERTEC promptly in writing if any other type of Third Party claim is brought against COMPANY, BPPR, or their respective Subsidiaries regarding EVERTEC’s Intellectual Property.

9.2

Termination for Cause .

	3.		makes any assignment of this Master Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

For purposes of this Section 9.2 and notwithstanding anything in this Master Agreement to the contrary, “Material Breach” means a breach, or series of breaches, of a party’s duties or obligations (other than a failure to make a payment pursuant to this Master Agreement) that if left uncured for ninety (90) days following receipt of notice from COMPANY or BPPR detailing the relevant deficiency or failure, would result in a Material Adverse Effect on COMPANY and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or BPPR and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything in this Master Agreement to the contrary, any breach or default under a particular Service Addendum will give the non-breaching party or parties the right to terminate that particular Service Addendum, subject to the cure periods set forth under Section 9.2(a)(1), and will not automatically operate as a default under any other Service Addendum.

9.3

Effect upon Termination .

No party shall be liable to the others for damages of any kind solely as a result of terminating this Master Agreement in accordance with its provisions. Furthermore, any such termination will be without prejudice to any rights or remedies any party may have arising out of any breach of any material representation, warranty, covenant or condition by any other party hereto.

COMPANY, BPPR, and their respective Subsidiaries understand and agree that all expenses and charges for Transition Assistance shall be computed in accordance with EVERTEC’s then current standard prices for such products, materials, and Services (or to the extent such Services were provided pursuant to this Master Agreement, the expenses and charges for such Services shall be the price for such Services under the Master Agreement), which expenses and charges shall be paid by COMPANY, BPPR, or their appropriate respective Subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of this Master Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall obligate COMPANY, BPPR, or their respective Subsidiaries to receive Transition Assistance from EVERTEC.

	a)		Notice . Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action or proceeding involving a claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party will seek indemnification pursuant to this Article Ten, the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim in writing. The failure of Indemnified Party to so notify an Indemnifying Party will relieve Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section to the extent that Indemnifying Party can demonstrate damages attributable to such failure. Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party relating to any claim, but no later than fifteen (15) days before the date on which any response to a complaint or summons is due, the Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party in writing if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and settlement of that claim (a “Notice of Election” ).

	b)		Procedure Following Notice of Election . If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Notice of Election relating to any claim within the required notice period, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim; provided that (i) the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party before ceasing to defend against such claim, and will not compromise or settle such claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent if such compromise or settlement would impose a penalty or limitation upon the Indemnified Party, including, without limitation, an injunction or other equitable relief, or such compromise or settlement does not include the release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising from or relating to such claim. After the Indemnifying Party has delivered a Notice of Election relating to any claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of that claim. In addition, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party in the settlement of any claim for which the Indemnifying Party has delivered a timely Notice of Election if such amount was agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

	c)		Procedure Where No Notice of Election Is Delivered . If the party which is the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Notice of Election relating to any claim within the required notice period, the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, and the failure of the Indemnifying Party to deliver such Notice of Election will not affect the indemnification obligations of such party under this Master Agreement.

	d)		Cooperation . When seeking indemnification, the Indemnified Party will at all times reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense or settlement of any claim which is subject to this Article Ten.

	e)		Entitlement to Payment . In the event an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume control of the defense and settlement of that claim, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to payment by the Indemnifying Party upon the Indemnified Party’s settlement of the claim or the adjudication of liability, whichever first occurs.

10.4

Subrogation . In the event that a party will be obligated to indemnify another party pursuant to this Article Ten, the Indemnifying Party will, upon payment of such indemnity in full, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to the claims to which such indemnification relates. The Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate with Indemnifying Party, including by the execution of appropriate documents, to enable the Indemnifying Party to receive the benefit of the right of subrogation outlined in this Section.

(e) EVERTEC declines Popular’s request for certain improvements, enhancements or other developments (“ Requested Improvements ”) that EVERTEC is capable of fulfilling (in which case, Popular shall have the right and option to obtain the release of only those Deposit Bundles reasonably necessary to enable the development and support of the Requested Improvements, and Popular will not use such Deposit Bundles except in connection with the development and maintenance of the Requested Improvements); provided , however , in this case Iron Mountain shall not be authorized to release the Deposit Materials unless Popular certifies that the following conditions are met: (A) Popular has negotiated with a third-party vendor an arrangement to prepare the Requested Improvements, (B) after negotiating the arrangement with a third-party vendor Popular offers EVERTEC the right to prepare the Requested Improvements for a price that is equal to that negotiated between Popular and the third-party vendor and upon terms and conditions substantially equivalent to those offered by the third-party vendor ( provided that the terms and conditions that EVERTEC would need to meet would not require the delivery of the Requested Improvements in source code form to Popular or require the transfer of the ownership of the intellectual property rights in the Requested Improvements), and (C) EVERTEC does not unconditionally accept such offer within ten (10) business days of its receipt thereof; and

-11-

(f) EVERTEC notifies Popular that it is incapable for any reason of fulfilling or otherwise does not accept Popular’s request for Requested Improvements or EVERTEC accepts Popular’s request for Requested Improvements and fails to satisfy, in any material respect, any material terms upon which the Parties have agreed such Requested Improvements will be provided (in which case, Popular shall have the right and option to obtain the release of only those Deposit Bundles reasonably necessary to enable the development and support of the Requested Improvements, and Popular will not use such Deposit Bundles except in connection with the development and maintenance of the Requested Improvements).

-13-

conditions set forth below, (A) to require that Popular return to EVERTEC or destroy such Deposit Materials with respect to such Cured Service and all copies thereof, (B) require that any Elected License associated with such Deposit Materials for the Cured Service would terminate, and (C) resume providing the Cured Service to Popular under the MSA (a, b and c, collectively the “ Clawback Right ”); provided , however , that if EVERTEC exercises the Clawback Right, EVERTEC will (without limiting any right or remedy of Popular under the MSA) (1) reimburse Popular for all of Popular’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Release Event and Popular’s efforts to resume the service under the MSA that gave rise to Popular’s release request; (2) ensure a transition back to the Cured Service at EVERTEC’s cost with minimal disruption to business continuity; and (3) promptly deliver to Iron Mountain one copy of any such Deposit Materials for redeposit into escrow in accordance with the terms of the MBESA.

(b) Popular breaching a contract that it entered into with a third party to provide Popular with services previously provided by EVERTEC under the MSA or otherwise required after a Service Failure or a termination or break-up fee under such a contract, and Popular has used commercially reasonable efforts without compromising its business continuity to avoid the condition giving rise to such breach or such termination or break-up fee provision; provided , however , that EVERTEC may exercise the Clawback Right under this subsection (b) if Popular:

(i) does not notify EVERTEC that the exercise would result in its breach of a third-party contract within thirty (30) days following the date that EVERTEC notifies Popular in writing that it is exercising the Clawback Right, or

(ii) does so timely notify EVERTEC of the likelihood of a breach of contract and EVERTEC agrees to indemnify and defend Popular with respect to liability to the third party for a claim of breach of contract.

Section 5.3 Clawback Disputes . If the Parties do not mutually agree both: (i) that EVERTEC is capable of adequately providing the service under the MSA that gave rise to Popular’s release request, and (ii) upon the amount of the reimbursement to Popular pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Parties will submit the matter(s) to arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Procedures.

FEES

Section 6.1 FMV . Upon the release of any Deposit Materials, Popular and EVERTEC will negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement as to the fair market value (“ FMV ”) of the Elected License. If after thirty (30) days following the release of Deposit Materials from escrow

-14-

(or, if such release requires the approval of a Government Entity, ten (10) days after the receipt of such approval), EVERTEC and Popular cannot reach a binding agreement as to the FMV for the Elected License, the matter will be determined in accordance with the Arbitration Procedures. In connection with the arbitration, each Party may present testimony and a report of a valuation expert.

Section 6.2 Payment . Once FMV has been determined, Popular will pay to EVERTEC the amount due (whether, at Popular’s election, the full amount due for a Specified Term of a perpetual duration, or the applicable amount due for a Specified Term of limited duration). If Popular elects a Specified Term of limited duration, then such Specified Term will automatically renew for additional successive terms of a duration equal to the initial renewable Specified Term elected by Popular under the Elected License, unless canceled by Popular in writing delivered to EVERTEC at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term, and Popular will pay the applicable renewal fee upon such renewal.

Section 6.3 Failure to Pay . If Popular fails to make such payment within thirty (30) days of the Parties entering into a binding agreement as to FMV or final determination of FMV through arbitration (after any permitted appeals or the time for appeal has lapsed), then, following written notice thereof and failure to cure such non-payment or post an equivalent bond within an additional ten (10) days, EVERTEC shall have the right upon written notice to Popular (i) to terminate the MSA, including EVERTEC’s obligation to provide transition services thereunder; and (ii) to require that Popular (A) cease exercising its rights under the Elected License, and (B) return or destroy all copies of the Deposit Materials in its possession or control. Furthermore, Popular will transfer in writing all Rights under the applicable Elected License back to EVERTEC, as a result of which Popular, pursuant to Section 4.2, will be prohibited from exercising such Rights. If Popular does not comply with the requirements in the foregoing Subsection 6.3(ii), Popular hereby consents to EVERTEC being granted equitable relief, such as specific performance and injunctive relief, to compel Popular to comply with such requirements. If the Parties do not mutually agree both: (i) that EVERTEC is capable of adequately providing the service under the MSA that gave rise to Popular’s release request, and (ii) upon the amount of the reimbursement to Popular pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Parties will submit the matter(s) to arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Procedures.

For the avoidance of doubt, EVERTEC shall be responsible and liable for all Losses arising from an Iron Mountain Claim to the extent such Iron Mountain Claim arises from any (i) Deposit Materials that were part of the Initial Deposit but for which EVERTEC or any of its subsidiaries did not own the intellectual property rights until after the Closing; or (ii) Deposit Materials that were neither part of the Initial Deposit nor copies of Deposit Materials that were part of the Initial Deposit.

Section 8.2 Defense of an Iron Mountain Claim . The Parties shall cooperate to determine in good faith which party shall control and direct the defense, and exercise the other rights of EVERTEC, pursuant to Section 7 of the MBESA. In the event that the Parties do not promptly each make such a determination, the Party who bears (or based on the Iron Mountain Claim, is reasonably likely to bear) the greater responsibility for the Iron Mountain Claim shall have the primary right and power to direct and control the defense of any Iron Mountain Claim; provided that, both Parties shall cooperate fully, and each Party shall have the right (at its own expense and cost) to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall enter into any settlement or agreement that would prejudice the other Party’s rights in the Deposit Materials or under this Agreement or the MBESA, or otherwise impose any liability or obligation on the other Party, without the prior written consent of such Party.

Section 8.3 Procedures . EVERTEC will promptly notify Popular of any Iron Mountain Claim. Any dispute in connection with the obligations under this Article VIII shall be settled in accordance with the Arbitration Procedures.

Section 10.6 Assignment .

(a) Assignment. Other than a Permitted Assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6, this Agreement or the MBESA may not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that either Party may assign its rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement or the MBESA to its financing sources solely in connection with the grant of a security interest and the enforcement of all rights and remedies that the assigning party has against the other party under this Agreement or the MBESA (as applicable), subject to claims, defenses and rights, including rights of set off, that such other party may have against the assigning party.

(b) Assignment to Subsidiaries. EVERTEC may assign any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement or the MBESA to a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of EVERTEC (an “ Assignee Sub ”) if (i) such Assignee Sub is identified by EVERTEC to Popular at least 20 Business Days prior to the consummation of the proposed assignment; (ii) (A) such proposed assignment is legally required in order for EVERTEC to perform for Popular or its Subsidiaries, in the country, state, territory or other jurisdiction (“ Jurisdiction ”) in which the Assignee Sub is organized, the specific obligations required to be performed pursuant to the assignment of this Agreement or the MBESA (as applicable), and only (x) to the extent of such legal requirement and (y) if EVERTEC provides a written opinion of qualified counsel that opines that such legal requirement is applicable and is based upon reasonable assumptions with respect to such legal requirement or (B) Popular has provided its prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned; (iii) such Assignee Sub will be Solvent immediately after and giving effect to such proposed assignment and Popular is reasonably satisfied with the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment; (iv) Popular is a third-party beneficiary to the assignment agreement, which is in form and substance that is reasonably satisfactory to Popular, and which provides that the Assignee Sub’s rights under the assignment agreement will be terminated if the Assignee Sub ceases to be a wholly-owned Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, of EVERTEC; and (v) EVERTEC remains fully liable with respect to the performance of all its obligations under this Agreement or the MBESA (as applicable) and EVERTEC guarantees the performance of all of the obligations of EVERTEC to Popular assumed by Assignee Sub under this Agreement or the MBESA (as applicable), which guarantee provides that, for the avoidance of doubt, after any termination of the proposed assignment, EVERTEC shall continue to be obligated with respect to any obligation undertaken by Assignee Sub prior to such termination.

(c) Assignment to Third Parties. EVERTEC may assign all of its rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement or the MBESA (or those rights, duties and obligations arising after the effectiveness of the assignment) in a transaction with a third-party assignee (an “ Asset Acquirer ”) if (i) such Asset Acquirer is identified by EVERTEC to Popular at least 30 Business Days prior to the consummation of the proposed assignment; (ii) such Asset Acquirer (A) acquires at least ninety percent (90%) of the consolidated gross assets (excluding cash) of EVERTEC (including all intellectual property rights in the Deposit Materials), and (B) assumes at least 90% of the consolidated gross liabilities (excluding Indebtedness) of EVERTEC and its Subsidiaries (including the assignment and assumption of all commercial agreements between EVERTEC or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Popular, BPPR or any of

-20-

their respective Subsidiaries, on the other hand) through one legal entity; (iii) neither the Asset Acquirer nor any of its Affiliates is engaged, directly or indirectly, in the banking, securities, insurance or lending business, from which they derive aggregate annual revenues from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in excess of $50 million unless none of them has a physical presence in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico that is used to conduct any such business; (iv) the Asset Acquirer will be Solvent immediately after and giving effect to such proposed assignment; and (v) EVERTEC reasonably believes that the Asset Acquirer, after completion of the proposed purchase and assumption transaction, will be capable of performing the obligations and duties of EVERTEC under this Agreement or the MBESA (as applicable). For clarity, this Agreement and the MBESA shall be considered a “commercial agreement” for purposes of clause (ii) in the immediately preceding sentence and in the corresponding provision in the MSA.

(d) Cooperation. EVERTEC shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Popular in evaluating whether any proposed assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6 would be in compliance with the requirements of the provisions contained in this Section 10.6, including the ability of Assignee Sub or Asset Acquirer, as applicable, to comply with the terms of this Agreement, including, in each case, by providing any non-confidential information regarding the purposes and plans in connection with such proposed assignment other than information that would create any potential liability under applicable Law, violate any confidentiality obligation, or that reasonably would be expected to result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege.

(e) Notice Obligation. Popular shall notify EVERTEC in writing within 15 Business Days following receipt of EVERTEC’s notice of the proposed assignment of any objection to any proposed assignment to an Asset Acquirer under Section 10.6(c) unless EVERTEC has failed to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 10.6(d) and Popular asserts such failure prior to the expiration of the 15 Business Day objection period, in which case such 15 Business Day period shall be tolled until EVERTEC satisfies its obligations pursuant to Section 10.6(d). If Popular fails to timely object to such proposed assignment (taking into account any tolling of the 15 Business Day objection period), it shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed assignment.

(f) Implied Consent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if Popular, BPPR or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates votes in favor of a transaction resulting in a proposed assignment and was not compelled to do so as part of a Dragged Asset Sale or other requirement of the Stockholder Agreement or any other Group Agreement with respect to securities issued by Holdco or EVERTEC or any successor or other entity that acquired all or substantially all the assets of Holdco or EVERTEC or any of their respective successors then it shall be deemed to have consented to the assignment.

(g) Invalidity of Impermissible Assignments. Any attempted or purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.6 hereof shall be null and void and the assignee’s rights assigned pursuant to any assignment made in compliance with this Section 10.6 will terminate in the event and to the extent of the termination of this Agreement or the MBESA (as applicable).

For Immediate Release:

Popular, Inc. Announces Completion of Sale of Majority Interest in EVERTEC to Funds Managed by Apollo Management, L.P.

San Juan, Puerto Rico, Thursday, September 30, 2010 — Popular, Inc. announced today the completion of the merger pursuant to which funds managed by Apollo Management, L.P. acquired a 51% interest in Popular’s processing subsidiary, EVERTEC, and related processing businesses, through the establishment of a joint venture. The new joint venture is valued at approximately $868 million. As part of the transaction, Popular transferred its merchant acquiring and processing and technology businesses to EVERTEC.

“This transaction concludes our capital plan,” said Popular, Inc. Chairman & CEO Richard L. Carrión. “We retained 49 percent in EVERTEC because we strongly believe this partnership has great potential to expand its business.”

“We are pleased this transaction has closed, and we look forward to partnering with Popular, the EVERTEC management team, its employees and customers to continue the expansion and growth of this strong franchise,” said Apollo senior partner Marc Becker.

The transaction is expected to result in a net gain after taxes for Popular of approximately $570 million. The net cash proceeds to be received by Popular after paying for transaction costs and taxes are estimated at approximately $610 million. The sale has a positive impact of approximately 2.22 percent on Tier 1 Common, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios, and of approximately 1.43 percent on Popular’s Tier 1 Leverage ratio.

In April of this year, Popular raised $1.1 billion in a public equity offering, which when combined with the gain in this transaction represents approximately $1.7 billion in new capital.
