The 2007 average numbers of transacting ATMs for the 7-Eleven
Financial Services Business represent the average number of ATM
and Vcom units beginning from the acquisition date
(July 20, 2007) and continuing through
September 30, 2007.
(2)
The
2006 year-to-date
average number of transacting ATMs for our Mexico operations
represents the average number of ATM beginning from the
acquisition date (February 8, 2006) and continuing
through September 30, 2006.
(3)
Excludes effects of depreciation, accretion, and amortization
expense of $15.7 million and $7.1 million for the
three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and $31.3 million and $22.6 million for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,

ATM operating gross profit is a measure of profitability that
uses only the revenue and expenses that related to operating the
ATMs. The revenue and expenses from ATM equipment sales, Vcom
Services, and other ATM-related services are not included.
(5)
The decrease in ATM operating gross profit margins in 2007 is
primarily due to higher vault cash costs and costs incurred in
connection with our Triple-DES and in-house processing
conversion costs.

A. | Inconsistencies; Incorporation of Recitals . In the case of inconsistencies between this Agreement and any other agreements between Wells Fargo and either Client that deal with the subject matter of this Agreement (including Wells Fargo account agreements), the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by reference as part of this Agreement. | ||
B. | Effect of non-Business Days on deadlines . If any deadline specified in this Agreement falls upon a non-Business Day, such deadline shall be extended to the next day that is a Business Day. | ||
C. | Recovery Plan . The provisions of the current cash retrieval and disaster recovery plans attached hereto as Exhibit F ( Recovery Plan ) are incorporated in and supplement the terms of this Agreement. The locations and delivery times of Wells Fargo Network Locations and other information in the cash recovery plan attached as Exhibit F will be supplemented or otherwise restated monthly based upon updated information from Clients and upon either Clients addition or deletion of a Covered Machine. Any other supplements or restatements of the Recovery Plan shall become effective only upon the prior written consent of Clients. | ||
D. | Covered Machines . The current list of Covered Machines is set forth in Exhibit A . Subject to Section I.F. below, either Client may, upon five Business Days prior written notice to Wells Fargo, delete Machines listed as Covered Machines (such deletion to be effective only after all Cash is removed from the Covered Machine by the Armored Carrier). Subject to Section I.F. below, either Client may add new Covered Machines to the appropriate subpart of Exhibit A from time to time upon written notice to Wells Fargo according to the procedure set forth in this Paragraph. If the new Covered Machine can be serviced by an existing Wells Fargo Network Location, does not occur during the first or last week of a month (the Freeze Period ) and the aggregate number of Covered Machines being added does not exceed 100, Clients will provide Wells Fargo five Business Days prior written notice of the change. If either Client reasonably determines that the new Covered Machine will require a new Wells Fargo Network Location or if the aggregate number of Covered Machines being added exceeds 100, such Client shall provide Wells Fargo 45 days prior written notice of the change. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, any Covered Machines being added during a Freeze Period will be done solely on a best efforts |
3
basis and as long as there are sufficient Wells Fargo AU/General Ledger combinations as a unique AU/GL combination is required for each new Covered Machine in order to account for the Cash (currently there are up to [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] General Ledger lines available per Wells Fargo AU). Wells Fargo hereby agrees to supply the Cash to the new proposed Machines in the continental United States from the nearest Wells Fargo Network Location. Wells Fargo shall respond to a Clients request for a new Wells Fargo Network Location in writing within 10 Business Days of such Clients request to add a Covered Machine(s), and such response shall indicate the proposed Wells Fargo Network Location that Wells Fargo intends to use to supply the Cash to the new Covered Machine(s). The applicable Client shall respond in writing to Wells Fargo within 10 Business Days, either approving or rejecting the proposed Wells Fargo Network Location for the proposed Covered Machine(s) and describing the reasons for a rejection. If a Client rejects the proposed Wells Fargo Network Location(s) for a proposed Covered Machine, such Client may supply the new Machine with currency and coin from any other source, and such new Machine shall not be added to Exhibit A as a Covered Machine. In no event shall Work be performed for Covered Machines except by Wells Fargo. | |||
E. | Exceptions . For avoidance of doubt and in addition to any exclusions set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit Clients from procuring currency and coin for the Covered Machines from any source other than Wells Fargo if Wells Fargo is unable to provide Cash (on account of a Force Majeure Event or otherwise) so long as (i) any Cash is first removed from the applicable Covered Machine (at which time the Machine will be deleted from Exhibit A ), and (ii) Cash is never commingled with currency or coin of either Client or any other person or source. | ||
F. | Limitations on Additions and Deletions . On the date of this Agreement and on each July 15 during the term hereof, Clients will provide to Wells Fargo a forecast of the number of Machines that will be Covered Machines during the following calendar year (the Annual Limit ) and during the three next succeeding calendar years. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the number of Covered Machines shall never exceed the then applicable Annual Limit. As provided in Section I.D. the number of Covered Machines being added may be limited during Freeze Periods. |
A. | Wells Fargos General Obligation to Supply Cash . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Wells Fargo agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished all United States currency and coin in denominations and that either is new or is in physical condition suitable for dispensing from a Machine in the amounts to be ordered by |
4
Clients (such new or ATM fit United States currency and coin as provided or arranged by Wells Fargo, the Cash ), provided that before the Needs Redelivery Termination Date, Wells Fargo determines that it has sufficient cash on hand to meet Needs. For avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the term Cash does not include currency or coin accepted by the Machines from Machine Clients. | |||
B. | Orders . Subject to Paragraph C below, Wells Fargo agrees to supply (or cause to be supplied) all of the Covered Machines with adequate Cash to meet each Clients Cash order requests for each of the Covered Machines. Clients will provide Wells Fargo with at least two weeks prior written notice of the forecasted amount of Cash needed to accommodate holiday spikes, new locations and increased activities, in each case estimating Cash needs by city, location and denomination. Clients shall give Wells Fargo an order for Cash by the time(s) designated for each Wells Fargo, Cash Supplier, Federal Reserve or other vault location, each a Wells Fargo Network Location ). Clients shall specify the amount and denomination of Cash to be supplied in the manner required under Wells Fargos cash vault ordering requirements. In the event that any applicable Wells Fargo Network Location cannot supply a Client with the volume of adequate Cash required to meet each Cash order for the Covered Machines, Wells Fargo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from other sources as much of such Cash as is practicable to fill such Clients order. | ||
C. | Maximum Amount of Cash to be Supplied . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate total of Cash to be provided by Wells Fargo under this Agreement shall at no time exceed (1) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] (A) during time the Parties agree-upon in writing during Christmas and New Years holiday periods and (B) between January 15 and March 31 of each year during the term hereof (the Tax Season ), and (2) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] at all other times, which amounts in clauses (A) and (B) above include the sum of (x) all Cash with Armored Carriers, (y) Cash in Covered Machines, and (z) all payments owed by Servicers, including any amount to be reimbursed by way of credit to the Settlement Accounts in immediately available funds, net of all adjustments, chargebacks, representations and other corrections to all transactions under the Servicing Agreements (the Maximum Available Amount ). At no time other than Tax Season shall Cash inside any Covered Machine exceed [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] . During Tax Season, at no time shall Cash inside any Covered Machine exceed [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE |
5
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] . | |||
D. | No Commingling of Cash . Each Client agrees that during the term of this Agreement the only currency and coin to be placed in any of the cash cassettes used for dispensing currency and coin from a Covered Machine shall be Wells Fargos Cash. This restriction on commingling applies irrespective of whether a Client intends to supply currency and coins to a particular Covered Machine from another cash provider and regardless of whether Wells Fargo failed to supply the Covered Machine or otherwise. | ||
E. | Cash May Only be Used in Covered Machines . Each Client agrees that at no time will Cash (i) be used or placed in Machines other than the Covered Machines, or (ii) be used for a purpose other than dispensing currency and coin needs at the Covered Machines. | ||
F. | Treatment of Cash as Vault Cash . Until the Needs Redelivery Termination Date, Cash may be considered by Wells Fargo to be vault cash as defined in section 204.2(k) of Regulation D until such time as it is dispensed from the Covered Machines. | ||
G. | Work . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Wells Fargo will provide Work for the Covered Machines during the term of this Agreement. | ||
H. | Third-Party Premises . Except as otherwise provided below, all agreements between either Client and a third-party for the placement of an ATM on such third partys premises (each an Machine Placement Agreement ) shall provide substantially as follows before such Machine shall be deemed a Covered Machine: |
1. | Ownership of Cash . The Cash contained in the Covered Machines is and, until dispensed in a cash dispensing transaction, always will be owned by and will be solely and exclusively the property of Wells Fargo and not Client or any third-party. | ||
2. | Wells Fargo Access to Covered Machines . At least between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM local time and such additional time periods that the third party may deem to be its normal business hours (and upon reasonable request during non-business hours), Wells Fargo and its authorized agents shall be permitted by the third party to enter on the premises on which the Covered Machines are located to inspect the Covered Machines, deliver Cash to and retrieve Cash from the Covered Machines, supervise and/or inspect the servicing and repair of Covered Machines and otherwise protect Wells Fargos interest in the Cash contained in the Covered Machines. |
6
3. | Third-Party Access to Cash Prohibited . The third-party shall not, and it shall instruct any person or entity performing any services in the third-party premises not to, open or attempt to open or move or attempt to move any Covered Machine. |
III. | Plan and Procedures . To ensure repayment of the Cash dispensed from the Covered Machines (the Dispensed Cash ) and to enable Wells Fargo to perform the Work, the Parties agree to the settlement procedures, balancing and processing set forth below: |
A. | Commencement .

The Settlement Start Date shall be the date the 7-Eleven Machine Acquisition is consummated and the currency and coin in the cash cassette in each initial Covered Machine, in the Armored Carriers vault or in transit with the Armored Carrier, in each case intended for use in such Covered Machines shall be Cash hereunder (the Starting Cash ). The Starting Cash shall be effected by the notification by Wells Fargo in writing of the currency and coin balances contained in each Acquired Machine, in the Armored Carriers vault or in transit with the Armored Carrier, in each case intended for use in Acquired Machines (the aggregate of such balances being referred-to as the Expected Amount ). The procedures for reconciling any difference between the Starting Cash and the Expected Amount will be as provided in the True-up Agreement, dated as of even date, among Clients, Wells Fargo, 7-Eleven and VFS in the form set forth in Exhibit G (the True-up Agreement ). | ||

1. | Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Client shall be liable to Wells Fargo for any loss, theft, or destruction of the Cash to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Wells Fargo, any Cash Supplier or their respective agents or employees.

All such efforts by Wells Fargo shall be at each Clients expense. | ||
3. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any risk of loss during Needs Redelivery or redelivery upon a Wells Fargo Event of Default of the Cash shall be borne by Wells Fargo, provided that Clients shall remain liable for Cash shortages in the Covered Machines prior to pick-up.

1. | all of the Cash shall remain the property of Wells Fargo, and Wells Fargo shall have all right, title, and interest in and to the Cash and may treat the Cash as its asset until such time as it is dispensed from any of the Covered Machines in a cash dispensing transaction; and | ||
2. | none of the Cash shall at any time become the property of Clients, or any other person until such time as it is dispensed from any of the Covered Machines in a cash dispensing transaction. |
Neither Client shall take actions inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the intent of the Parties that all Cash provided to an Armored Carrier by a Wells Fargo Network Location, regardless of physical location, remains the property of Wells Fargo until it is dispensed from the Covered Machines or surrendered by the Armored Carrier to a Wells Fargo Network Location as set forth in this Agreement. |
B. | No Client or Third-Party Interest in Cash . It is expressly agreed between the Parties that neither of Clients nor any other person or entity has any possessory or ownership rights to the Cash or Receivables (as defined in the Servicer Letters) under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. It is expressly understood that no other financial institution, including without limitation, any Cash Supplier, can utilize the Cash to satisfy its own reserve requirements. Neither Client, nor any other person (other than an Armored Carrier and the Maintenance Providers for purposes of maintenance of the Covered Machines pursuant to the Maintenance Contracts) shall have any access to, or use of, any of the Cash after delivery of the same to Armored Carrier, whether during transportation or storage by Armored Carrier or while it is stored in the vaults of the Covered Machines, except as such use relates to the dispensing of any of the Cash in a cash dispensing transaction from one of the Covered Machines. Once any of the Cash is delivered to Armored Carrier, it shall only be transported or stored by Armored Carrier and finally placed in one of the Covered Machines or handled by the Maintenance Providers in a way that is consistent with the terms of the Maintenance Contracts. Under no circumstances shall either Client hold itself out as the owner of the Cash or in any way represent to any person or entity that it owns the Cash. | ||
C. | Labeling of Covered Machines . If requested by Wells Fargo, each Covered Machine shall display a sticker notice inside the Covered Machines outer cover in such a place as is visible to a person accessing the inside of the Covered Machine, reading as follows: ALL CASH IN THE CASH CASSETTE IN THIS TERMINAL IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.

Upon Wells Fargo demand for Needs Redelivery, Armored Carrier will deliver all or any part of the Cash, pursuant to the Recovery Plan and the Armored Carrier Contracts, then in the Covered Machines or otherwise in possession of Armored Carrier and return it to the applicable Wells Fargo Network Location or otherwise deliver it as Wells Fargo instructs, with or without judicial process, and without the consent of Clients. Needs Redelivery shall be made at the expense of Wells Fargo and to the addresses specified by Wells Fargo in the Recovery Plan.

Armored Carriers selected to handle the Cash, including all loading of any of the Cash into any of the Covered Machines, shall be a duly qualified armored car operator, selected by Clients (and reasonably acceptable to Wells Fargo) and contracted for by Clients. Clients may replace any Armored Carrier only upon prior written notice and with Wells Fargos express written consent which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Clients will use their best efforts to provide the prior written notice to Wells Fargo at least 30 days prior to such replacement, but in no event sooner than is reasonably necessary to ensure that the replacement Armored Carrier is a duly qualified armored car operator. For avoidance of doubt, a duly qualified armored carrier operator is one that is properly licensed, has provided to the Wells Fargo Network Locations a signature list of those authorized to pick up Cash and the photos of whom are on file, for whom an authorization letter is on file from Clients indicating what actions Wells Fargo is to take with respect to a particular Armored Carrier, whose trucks, uniforms and other identifications match and who otherwise meets the security and operational standards of such Wells Fargo Network Locations. |

Each Clients contract with each Armored Carrier shall, in the event of any reportable shortage claimed in the contents of a sealed or locked cash bag received by Armored Carrier from the Wells Fargo Network Location, obligate Armored Carrier to promptly notify such Client and Wells Fargo of the shortage. With respect to cash bags received from the Federal Reserve Bank or a Cash Supplier, each such contract shall also obligate the Armored Carrier to (i) provide reasonable assistance to Wells Fargo in presenting difference claims to the relevant Federal Reserve Bank or Cash Supplier in accordance with Federal Reserve Bank regulations or operating circular, if any; and (ii) comply with any requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Bank or the relevant Cash Supplier in connection with the reporting of such shortages. In the event that such difference cannot be resolved, Wells Fargo and Clients will in good faith attempt to resolve the difference between them. If such efforts are unsuccessful (i) with respect to sums which Clients claim in writing are owed to them, within 60 days of receipt of the claim by Wells Fargo, or (ii) with respect to sums which Wells Fargo claims in writing are owed to it, within 60 days of receipt of the claim by Clients, the parties agree to resolve the issue in accordance with the mediation and arbitration provisions of this Agreement. The parties will from time to time mutually agree upon any minimal differences that need not be reported and such threshold amounts that must be reported on a same-day or next-Business-Day basis. | |||

The Parties agree that the provisions of this paragraph do not relieve them of their respective risks of loss with respect to Cash as set forth in Section IV of this Agreement. |
XI. | Term; Survival; Early Termination Fee . |
A. | General . The initial term of this Agreement shall be two years from the date first written above and shall be renewed for additional one-year periods unless a Party gives at least 180 days prior written notice of its intent not to renew, provided, however, that each such renewal shall be subject to a written agreement about pricing and such other terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon among the Parties (the Stated Termination Date ), unless earlier terminated by a Party as provided in this Agreement (the Actual Termination Date ). | ||
B. | Redelivery . Upon redelivery as provided in this Agreement, each Client shall be responsible and liable for: (i) collecting and delivering to Wells Fargo all payments due from Servicers for Dispensed Cash; and (ii) using its best commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Armored Carrier effects redelivery of the Cash in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Wells Fargo shall be liable for any actual costs incurred by Clients in connection with such redelivery. Subject to Section IV. (Risk of Loss) and Paragraph VII.E. (Service Level Adjustments), Wells Fargo shall not otherwise be liable for any damages incurred by Clients on account of redelivery instituted by Clients due to Wells Fargos inability to furnish the Cash, nor shall Wells Fargo be liable for any damages resulting from the inability of cardholders to use the Covered Machines because they then contain no currency. | ||
E. | Certain Costs . Neither Client shall be liable for the cost of redelivery in the event of a Needs Redelivery or as a result of a Wells Fargo Event of Default. | ||
F. | Early Termination Fee . In the event this Agreement is, for any reason other than a Wells Fargo Default or because of Wells Fargos election to terminate the Agreement before the Stated Termination Date when no Client Event of Default exists, terminated prior to the Stated Termination Date, Clients shall pay to Wells Fargo a termination fee of [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] per month, commencing [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] during the initial term of this Agreement, but in no event shall such fee be less than [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] . | ||

(f) | Judicial Review of Awards . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000,000, the arbitrators shall be required to make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of law. In such arbitrations (i) the arbitrators shall not have the power to make any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the Parties unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and the conclusions of law are not erroneous under the Governing Law, and (iii) the Parties shall have, in addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award, the right to judicial review of (a) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence, and (b) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under the Governing Law. Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only if a court determines the award is supported by substantial evidence and not based on legal error under the Governing Law. | ||
(g) | Arbitration; Other Matters . To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the Parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other Party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a Party required in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or regulation, or to the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights set forth herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the Parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the subject matter of the Dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of this letter agreement. |

(i) | The Parties shall endeavor to settle the dispute by mediation using JAMS Mediation in Houston, Texas. Within 10 Business Days from the date that the Parties cease direct negotiations pursuant to the negotiations above, the Parties will submit to each other a written list of qualified JAMS |
- 4 -
mediators not affiliated with either of the Parties and having at least five years experience in the field of banking and ATM cash supply. Within ten days from the date of receipt of such list, the Parties shall rank the mediators in numerical order of preference and exchange such rankings. If one or more names appear on both lists, the person whose name appears on both lists and who receives the highest combined ranking shall be chosen as the mediator. If such mediator is not available to serve, they shall proceed to contact the mediator who was next highest in ranking until they are able to select a mediator. | |||
(ii) | Each Party shall bear its own cost of mediation; provided, however, the cost charged by any independent third party mediator shall be borne equally by the Parties. | ||
(iii) | The Parties agree that any mediation proceeding will constitute settlement negotiations for purposes of the federal and state rules of evidence and will be treated as confidential and privileged communication by the Parties and the mediator. No stenographic, visual or audio record shall be made of any mediation proceedings. All conduct, statements, promises, offers and opinions made in the course of the mediation by any Party, its agents, employees, representatives or other invitees and by the mediator shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purposes in any litigation or other proceeding involving the Parties and shall not be disclosed to any third party. The Parties agree that the obligation to conduct the mediation procedure shall be obligatory upon each of them. In the event that either Party refuses to adhere to the mediation procedure set forth herein, the other Party may bring an action to seek enforcement of such obligation in any court of competent jurisdiction. The internal dispute escalation procedures and mediation procedures set forth herein shall not limit a Partys rights to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief as permitted herein. | ||
(iv) | The Parties efforts to reach a settlement of any dispute will continue until the conclusion of the mediation proceeding. The mediation proceeding will be concluded when: (A) a written settlement agreement is executed by the Parties, or (B) the mediator concludes and informs the Parties in writing that further efforts to mediate the dispute would not be useful, or (C) the Parties agree in writing that an impasse has been reached. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may withdraw from the mediation proceeding in the event such proceeding continues for more than 20 days from the commencement of such proceeding. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the proceeding shall be deemed to have commenced following the completion of the selection of a mediator as provided above. If a Party withdraws or the mediation otherwise concludes as set forth above, either Party may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction. |
