Item 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 2.01                      Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Item 3.02                      Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On December 22, 2014, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Akimbo Financial, Inc., a Texas corporation in the business of prepaid card program management, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of Akimbo, including certain assumed liabilities, subject to the exclusions, terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the Akimbo business and assets is $3 million in unregistered, restricted shares of our common stock, reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of post-closing adjustments.

We agreed to issue the shares of our common stock delivered as the purchase price in two tranches. The first tranche is $2 million in unregistered, restricted shares of our common stock, less $300,000, equaling 10,167,466 shares of common stock which will be delivered on or before the expiration of 3 business days following December 22, 2014. The second tranche is $1 million in unregistered, restricted shares, less $450,000, equaling 3,289,473 shares of common stock, will be issued and delivered subject to a lock-up period of 18 months from December 22, 2014 or the date that is 6 months after the transfer of the shares, whichever is later.

On April 1, 2015, we agreed to issue and deliver $300,000 in unregistered, restricted shares, less any post-closing adjustments. On the one-year anniversary of December 22, 2014, we agreed to issue and deliver $450,000, or 2,691,387 unregistered, restricted shares, less any offsets for our claims for indemnification pursuant to the Agreement.

The final number of shares to be issued, and the related value per each such share (the “Share Price”), was determined using the average daily closing price for our shares of common stock for the 10 business days immediately preceding December 22, 2014 (whether the shares are issued and delivered as part of the first tranche, second tranche, on April 15, 2015 or on the one-year anniversary of December 22, 2014). The Closing Date was December 22, 2014, thus the Share Price was $0.1672.

As part of the Agreement, we entered into a Transition Agreement which provides for the continuation of the Akimbo business in the ordinary course. Under the terms of the Transition Agreement, Akimbo agreed to provide services to customer cardholders in the ordinary course of business, and agreed to deduct any contract costs from the contract revenues, and to transfer any such positive net revenues to us for a period of 180 days following December 22, 2014. In case of a negative net revenue, we will pay Akimbo the necessary difference up to a total amount of $300,000.

The assets we acquired with the Akimbo business include, among others, all assets, rights, properties and privileges of every kind and nature, real and personal, tangible and intangible, absolute and contingent, used by Akimbo in the operation of the business, owned or leased by Akimbo, such as software, equipment, insurances, permits, contracts and intellectual property rights. In conjunction with the Agreement, we are also hiring most of the employees of Akimbo. Additionally, in connection with the Agreement, Akimbo agreed not to compete with us, solicit or hire any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation for a period of 5 years.

The issuance of the shares of common stock was exempt from registration pursuant to the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D, inasmuch as it was not a public offering since no general solicitation or advertising of any kind was used in connection with the issuance and there was only a limited number of recipients or the recipients were knowledgeable accredited investors who understand the investment risks. Accordingly, the shares issued as consideration for the Asset Purchase Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and until so registered, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or availability of an applicable exemption from registration.

 
 

 
 
This report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, and these securities cannot be sold in any state or jurisdiction in which this offer, solicitation, or sale would unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction. Any offer will be made only by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of the effective registration statement.

Item 5.02                      Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Akimbo   Financial, Inc. as described above, we are appointing Mr. Houston Frost, former Chief Executive Officer of Akimbo Financial, Inc., as our new Senior Vice President Corporate Development and Prepaid Products, effective December 23, 2014.

Mr. Frost, Ph.D., age 33, has served as President and CEO since the inception of Akimbo Financial, Inc. Mr. Frost co-founded Akimbo in January 2010 motivated by a desire to reinvent the prepaid card with the concept of creating a network of card members that facilitated free and instant money delivery to friends and family. Mr. Frost has more than five years of experience in the prepaid and payments industry and eight years of experience in financial services. Prior to Akimbo, Mr. Frost worked in New York as an Associate at JPMorgan Chase on the Fixed-Income Strategy team. Mr. Frost earned his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Northwestern University in 2007 and a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Colorado.

In connection with Mr. Frost’s appointment, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Frost. The employment agreement expires December 31, 2016, unless extended by mutual agreement or terminated.

The annual base salary of Mr. Frost is $130,000. Mr. Frost also receives a one-time signing bonus of $25,000 as well as 4,000,000 shares of our common stock, 1,800,000 shares of which to be vested in equal increments of 50,000 shares a month starting on January 31, 2015 and ending on January 31, 2017, and 2,200,000 shares of which will vest on January 31, 2025. In addition, Mr. Frost will be entitled to receive stock grants or stock options authorized by our executive compensation committee and/or CEO. Mr. Frost also may be entitled to receive a bonus not to exceed 50% of the highest salary received in any year of his employment agreement, calculated by the Company's executive compensation committee and/or CEO.
 
We can terminate the employment agreement for cause, such as breach or fraud by the employee, or without cause, subject to payment by us of a deferred compensation. We will also pay a deferred compensation if Mr. Frost terminates the employment agreement upon our default, after a change of control, such as a merger, acquisition or substantial change in our Board of Directors, or for good cause. The deferred compensation shall be the amount which is calculated as the base salary payments Mr. Frost would have received had his employment continued for the remaining term of the employment agreement (including yearly increases calculated at the maximum increase for the prior two years), plus all of the benefits remaining under the employment agreement and a pro-rata portion of the bonus compensation for that year.

The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement or the employment agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement and the employment agreement, respectively, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.

(b)   If Seller timely notifies Purchaser of any objection under Section 1.5(a) above , Seller and Purchaser will attempt in good faith to reach an agreement as to the matter in dispute.  If such parties fail to resolve any such disputed item within 15 days after receipt of timely notice of such objection pursuant to Section 1.5(a) , then, upon written request by either Seller or Purchaser, any such disputed item will be submitted to and determined by an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser (the “ Independent Accounting Firm ”).  The Independent Accounting Firm will be given reasonable access to all of the records of Seller and Purchaser to resolve any disputed item regarding the Assumed Liabilities Statement, and will be instructed to submit its determination in writing with respect to any disputed matters in the Assumed Liabilities Statement to Seller and Purchaser within 15 days.  The Independent Accounting Firm will address only those items properly disputed in accordance with this Section 1.5(b) and the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value greater than the greatest value or lower than the lowest value for any such item claimed by Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand.  Seller and Purchaser will be entitled to present any materials they deem appropriate to the Independent Accounting Firm, including a meeting, with all parties present (to the extent such parties desire to be present in such meeting), to discuss their position.  The fees and expenses of such Independent Accounting Firm incurred in resolving the disputed matter will be equitably apportioned by such accountants based on the extent to which Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, is determined by such accountants to be the prevailing party in the resolution of each such disputed matter.  If the Independent Accounting Firm is unable to make a determination of which party is the substantially prevailing party, Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall equally share the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to such matter.  The Assumed Liabilities Statement, properly disputed hereunder will, after resolution of such dispute pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) , be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto.

1.6            Seller’s Payment of Retained Liabilities .  Seller will pay, or make adequate provision for the payment, in full of all of the Retained Liabilities.  If any such Retained Liabilities are not so paid or provided for, or if Purchaser reasonably determines that failure to make any payments will impair Purchaser’s use or enjoyment of the Assets or conduct of the Business previously conducted by Seller with the Assets, Purchaser may, at any time after the Closing Date, elect to make all such payments directly (but will have no obligation to do so) and will be promptly reimbursed by Seller for the amount paid by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser, before electing to make any such payment directly, shall provide Seller written notice of such failure by Seller, and Seller shall have five (5) business days to either (i) make such payment, or (ii) provide written notice to Purchaser that Seller is contesting such payment in good faith.  In the event Seller provides such notice of contest, Purchaser shall not make such payment of such Retained Liability unless such contest actually and materially impairs Purchaser’s use or enjoyment of the Assets or conduct of the Business.

1.7            Instruments of Transfer; Further Assurances .  In order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, at the Closing Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser a bill of sale in a form acceptable to Purchaser covering all of the Assets (the “ Bill of Sale ”).  At the Closing, and at all times thereafter as may be necessary, Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser such other instruments of transfer as shall be reasonably necessary or appropriate to vest in Purchaser good and indefeasible title to the Assets and the Business and to comply with the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

4.1            Indemnification by Seller .  Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser and Purchaser’s shareholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, employees and agents harmless from any and all damages, losses, shortages, liabilities, payments, obligations, penalties, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively the “ Damages ”), directly or indirectly resulting from, relating to, or arising out of: (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Section 2.1 hereof; (ii) any of Seller’s Retained Liabilities; (iii) any Taxes which are payable or accruable by Seller or the Business prior to the Closing Date; (iv) the non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement, any Operative Document or any instrument or agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement; and/or (v) Seller’s ownership and operation of the Business prior to the Closing Date.

4.2            Indemnification by Purchaser .  Purchaser agree to indemnify and hold Seller and Seller’s officers, directors, shareholders, Affiliates, employees and agents harmless from any and all Damages directly or indirectly resulting from, relating to, or arising out of: (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in Section 2.2 hereof, (ii) any liability of Purchaser or the Business acquired by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and arising on or after the Closing Date, except for any of Seller’s Retained Liabilities; (iii) any Taxes which are payable or accruable by Purchaser or the Business on or after the Closing Date; (iv) the non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, any Operative Document or any instrument or agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement; and/or (v) Purchaser’s ownership and operation of the Business after the Closing Date.

4.3            Claims for Indemnification .  Whenever any claim arises for indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party (the “ Indemnitee ”) shall notify the indemnifying party (the “ Indemnitor ”) in writing by registered or certified mail promptly after the Indemnitee has actual knowledge of the facts constituting the basis for such claim (the “ Notice of Claim ”).  Such notice shall specify all material facts known to the Indemnitee giving rise to such indemnification right, and to the extent practicable, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom.  The failure of any Indemnitee to promptly notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligation to indemnify with respect to such action and shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any other liability which it may have to any Indemnitee unless such failure to notify the Indemnitor prejudices the rights of the Indemnitor.

4.4            Right to Defend .  If the facts giving rise to any such claim for indemnification involve any actual or threatened claim or demand by any Third Party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled (without prejudice to the right of the Indemnitee to participate in the defense of such claim or demand at its expense through counsel of its own choosing) to assume the defense of such claim or demand in the name of the Indemnitee at the Indemnitor’s expense and through counsel of its own choosing, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, if it gives written notice to the Indemnitee within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Notice of Claim that the Indemnitor intends to assume the defense of such claim and acknowledges its liability to indemnify the Indemnitee for any losses resulting from such claim; provided, however, that if the Indemnitor does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, then (a) the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim or demand at its expense through counsel of its own choosing, provided the Indemnitee shall control the defense of such claim, (b) the Indemnitee may settle any such claim without the consent of the Indemnitor, however, the Indemnitor may not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee; and (c) Section 4.5 above shall be inapplicable.  Whether or not the Indemnitor does choose to so defend such claim, the Parties shall cooperate in the defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be requested in connection therewith.

4.5            Settlement .  Except as provided in Section 4.4 above, (i) the Indemnitee shall make no settlement of any claim that would give rise to liability on the part of the Indemnitor under an indemnity contained in this Article IV without the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (ii) the Indemnitor can settle without the consent of the Indemnitee only if the settlement involves only the payment of money for which the Indemnitor will be fully liable and has the capacity to pay.  No other settlement of any claim may be made without the consent of both the Indemnitee and Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

4.6            Claim Reduction .  Any claim for indemnification under this Article IV shall be reduced to the extent of any Third Party insurance (excluding any deductibles or arrangements in the nature of a financing) or condemnation payment actually received by the Indemnitee.

4.7            No Third Party Beneficiaries .  The foregoing indemnification is given solely for the purpose of protecting the Parties and shall not be deemed extended to, or interpreted in a manner to confer any benefit, right or cause of action upon, any other Person.

4.8            Limitations .    Except with respect to Damages arising from or relating to (i) fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional breach, (ii) the Retained Liabilities, or (ii) any liability of Seller for breaches of Article V hereof, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser and its related Indemnitees against Seller for any and all Damages under this Agreement will be capped at an amount equal to $500,000.  Subject to the preceding sentence, Seller will not be liable for any Damages for which indemnity is claimed under Section 4.1, except to the extent the aggregate Damages therefrom exceed $5,000.00 in a single occurrence or $20,000.00 in the aggregate (the “ Deductible ”), in which case Seller will be liable to Purchaser for all such Damages in excess of the Deductible.

4.9            Investigation or Knowledge .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the right of any Party hereto to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedies will not be affected in any way by any investigation conducted or knowledge (whether actual, constructive or imputed) acquired at any time by such Party with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with or performance of, any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation or by the waiver of any condition.
 
 
Page 20 of 26

 
 
4.10            Materiality .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for the sole purpose of determining the amount of any Damages (as opposed to whether a breach has occurred), each representation and warranty herein will be deemed made without any qualifications or limitations as to materiality and, without limiting the foregoing, the word “material” and words of similar import will be deemed deleted from any such representation or warranty.

4.11            Offset .  Any Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right to offset any amounts for which it or any other Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article IV against the Holdback Securities.


ARTICLE V
NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION

5.1     Noncompetition .  For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, Seller will not, anywhere in the United States of America, directly or indirectly invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, advise, render services to or guarantee the obligations of any Person engaged in or planning to become engaged in the Business (“Competing Business”), provided, however, that Seller may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) three percent (3%) of any class of the securities of any Person (but may not otherwise participate in the activities of such Person) if such securities are listed on a national securities exchange.
 
5.2     Nonsolicitation and Nonhire .  For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, Seller will not, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit the business of any Person who is a customer of Purchaser or its Affiliates for the purpose of a Competing Business; (b) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of Purchaser or its Affiliates to cease doing business with Purchaser or its Affiliates, to deal with any competitor of Purchaser or its Affiliates or in any way interfere with its relationship with Purchaser or its Affiliates, all of the foregoing solely as it relates to the Business; or (c) hire, retain or attempt to hire or retain any employee of Purchaser or its Affiliates (current, or former if such Person was an employee or independent contractor in the twelve-month period prior to the relevant time period) or in any way interfere with the relationship between Purchaser or its Affiliates and any of its employees or independent contractors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing nor any other provision herein to the contrary, nothing in item (c) above shall prohibit the recruiting or hiring of any individual that is recruited or hired in response to any “help wanted” general advertisement or other general solicitation seeking employees, whether made on a national, local or regional basis.

5.3     Modification of Covenant .  If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.  This Article V will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.  Seller acknowledges and agrees that this Article V is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Purchaser’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Business and Assets.
 
 
Page 21 of 26

 
 
5.4     Enforcement of Covenant .  The Parties agree that the remedy of damages at law for the breach of any of the covenants contained in this Article V is an inadequate remedy.  In recognition of the irreparable harm that a violation by Seller of any of the covenants, agreements or obligations arising under this Article V would cause Purchaser or its Affiliates, Seller agrees that in addition to any other remedies or relief afforded by law, a preliminary and permanent injunction against an actual or threatened violation or violations may be issued against Seller without showing actual monetary damages or posting of a bond or other security.  In the event of an action to enforce the covenants in this Article V, Purchaser or its Affiliates will be entitled to be reimbursed by Seller for reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to such enforcement action if Purchaser or its Affiliate is the prevailing Party therein.

Annex 2.1(n) – Warranties
 
Excerpts from the Cardholder Agreement for the Akimbo Visa Prepaid Card:
 
Returns and Refunds
 
If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with your Card, you agree to accept credits to your Card for such refunds and agree to the refund policy of that merchant. The Issuer or Akimbo Financial, Inc. is not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspects of goods or services that you purchase from others with a Card. All such disputes must be addressed and handled directly with the merchant from whom those goods or services were provided.
 
Card Replacement
 
If you need to replace your Card for any reason, please contact us at 1-855-5-AKIMBO (1-855-525-4626); or login to your Card Account at www.akimbocard.com to request a replacement Card. You will be required to provide personal information which may include your Card number, full name, transaction history, etc. There is a fee for replacing your Card.
 
Our Liability for Failure To Complete Transactions
 
If we do not properly complete a transaction from your Card on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
 
If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available on your Card to complete the transaction;
 
If a merchant refuses to accept your Card;
 
If an ATM where you are making a cash withdrawal does not have enough cash;
 
If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly, and you knew about the problem when you initiatedthe transaction;
 
If access to your Card has been blocked after you reported your Card lost or stolen;
 
 
29

 
 
If there is a hold or your funds subject to legal or administrative process or other encumbrance restricting their use;
 
If we have reason to believe the requested transaction is unauthorized;If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, or computer or communication failure) prevent the completion of the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or
 
Any other exception stated in our Agreement with you.
 
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
 
Contact us at once if you believe your Card has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way to minimize your possible losses. If you believe your Card or any code(s) tied to your Card Account have been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Card Account without your permission, call us at 1-855-5-AKIMBO (1-855-525-4626). Under Visa U.S.A. Inc. Operating Regulations, your liability for unauthorized Visa debit transactions on your Card Account is $0.00 if you are not grossly negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your Card. This reduced liability does not apply to PIN transactions not processed by Visa or ATM cash withdrawals. If you notify us within two (2) business days of any unauthorized transactions, you can lose no more than $50.00 USD if someone used your Card, Code(s), or Card Account without your permission. If you do not notify us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your Card, Code(s), or Card Account without your permission if you had promptly notified us, you could lose as much as $500.00 USD.
 
Also, if you become aware of and/or your statement shows transactions that you did not make, notify us at once following the procedures stated in the paragraph labeled “Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors”. If you do not notify us in writing within sixty (60) days after you become aware of the transaction and/or after the statement was made available to you, you may not get back any value you lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the value if you had notified us in time and you are grossly negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your Card. If your Card has been lost or stolen, we will close your Card Account to keep losses down.
 
Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors
 
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transactions, call 1-855-5-AKIMBO (1-855-525-4626), write Akimbo Financial, Inc., P.O.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Card within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes to complete the investigation. If you do not have federal payments (for example, Social Security benefits, tax refunds or other government payments) deposited to your Card Account, we may not credit your Card. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and you do not provide it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your Card.
 
For errors involving new Cards, POS transactions, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new Card Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) business days to credit your Card Account for the amount you think is in error. We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing the investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.

Exhibit 10.2
 
TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
 
This Transition Services Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into as of December 22, 2014 (the “ Effective Date ”) by and between Akimbo Financial, Inc., a Texas corporation (“ Seller ”), and Payment Data Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ Purchaser ).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and between Seller and Purchaser (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).
 
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed, among other things, to purchase from the Seller all of the Assets; and
 
WHEREAS, part of the Assets purchased from Seller are the revenues (the “ Contracts Revenues ”) from Seller’s customer cardholders (the “ Contracts Cardholders ”) pursuant to the contracts set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “ Contracts ”); provided, however, Purchaser is not assuming the Contracts; and
 
WHEREAS, Purchaser must incur certain ongoing costs in the ordinary course of business to provide services to the Contracts Cardholders (the “ Contracts Costs ”), which specifically excludes any costs which are not in the ordinary course of business including, without limitation, damages, penalties, interest, breach of contracts, and those costs resulting from any early termination of the Contracts (collectively, the “Non-Ongoing Contracts Costs”); and
 
WHEREAS, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser will require certain services to the Contracts Cardholders during a transitional period following the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the Contracts Cardholders are transitioned to Purchaser;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
 
 1. Transition Services .  Beginning effective as of December 1, 2014 and ending at 11:59 p.m. on the day that is one hundred eighty (180) days immediately following the Closing Date (the “ Transition Term ”), Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with one another to provide the following in connection with the Contracts (collectively, the “ Transition Services ”):
 
(a)   On or before the fifth (5 th ) day immediately following each calendar month during the Transition Term, Seller shall deduct and offset any Contracts Costs incurred by Seller during such month from the Contracts Revenues received by Seller during such month (such Contracts Revenues less such Contracts Costs referred to hereinafter as the “ Net Contracts Revenues ”).  If the Net Contracts Revenues for such month are positive, Seller shall and transfer and convey such Net Contracts Revenues to Purchaser.  If the Net Contracts Revenues for such month is negative, Purchaser shall assume and agree to pay such negative amount as part of, but only up to, the collective maximum of $300,000.00 Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 1.2(d) of the Purchase Agreement.  In no event shall Purchaser assume or agree to pay any amount under the Contracts for Non-Ongoing Costs, nor shall such Non-Ongoing Costs be deducted or offset against any Contracts Revenues during the Transition Term.
 
 
Page 1 of 6

 
 
(b)   Seller shall provide services to its Contracts Cardholders in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Contracts as needed to transition the Contracts Cardholders to Purchaser and to timely transition the card-issuing bank from The Bancorp to the Purchaser’s issuing bank or banks.
 
2.  The Transition Services will be provided subject to the following guidelines:
 
(i)   The Parties acknowledge and agree that Seller will not have any employees after the Closing Date, and that Purchaser will hire certain employees of Seller set forth on Schedule 3.2(j) of the Purchase Agreement on an at-will basis in connection with the Closing (the “ Former Seller Employees ”).  Accordingly, Purchaser shall allow its employees, including, without limitation, the Former Seller Employees, to reasonably perform the Transition Services.  Purchaser shall be responsible for compensating the Former Seller Employees and fulfilling all payroll, tax and benefit obligations in connection therewith.
 
(ii)   Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that the Assets include all information technology and telecommunications hardware/equipment, software and other infrastructure to provide the Transition Services as used by Seller prior to the Closing Date.  To the extent that the provision of any Transition Service hereunder (in whole or in part) requires the consent of a supplier, lessor, vendor or licensor of Seller, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Closing Date to obtain any such required consent.
 
(iii)   Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain during the Transition Term such licenses and permits, if any, as are required for Seller during the Transition Term.
 
3.   No Warranty .  NEITHER PURCHASER NOR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PURPOSE OR QUALITY, OR AS TO THE CONDITION OR WORKMANSHIP THEREOF OR ABSENCE OF DEFECTS, WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT, CONCERNING THE TRANSITION SERVICES CONDUCTED BY PURCHASER’S EMPLOYEES OR OTHERWISE ON BEHALF OF SELLER.
 
4.   Term Extension; Termination .
 
(a)   Upon the expiration of the Transition Term, this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, in the event that all of the Contracts Cardholders are not transitioned to Purchaser during the Transition Term, the duration of the Transition Term may be extended by Purchaser for up to an additional sixty (60) calendar days on the same terms and conditions as contained herein by written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Transition Term.
 
(b)   If, at any time during the Transition Term, either the Seller’s issuing bank (The Bancorp) or Purchaser’s issuing bank or banks prevents or makes it impracticable for the Seller or Purchaser to transition the Seller’s cardholders to the Purchaser or Purchaser’s issuing bank, the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon ten days’ prior written notice to Seller.  In the event that Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4(b), Purchaser shall have no obligation to pay for any Contract Costs or negative Net Contracts Revenues, and Purchaser shall waive any rights or obligations to the Net Contract Revenues.
 
 
Page 2 of 6

 
 
5.   Records; Information.   Subject to applicable law, upon termination of this Agreement, Seller shall provide to Purchaser electronic copies of the data and other information relating to the Contracts Cardholders that were provided or generated during the Transition Term, in a format reasonably requested by Purchaser.  Seller may maintain backup copies of all such information for its own files.
 
6.   Independent Contractors.   During the Transition Term, Seller and Purchaser shall be independent contractors of each other, and nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, principal-agent, master-servant, employer-employee, franchise or other relationship between the Parties nor will any Party or its employees have any authority to bind the other Party.  No employees or agents of either Party shall be deemed to be employees or agents of the other Party.  Each Party shall be solely responsible for the withholding and payment of all federal, state and local personal income taxes, social security, unemployment, payroll and other taxes and obligations with respect to its employees and contractors when and as required by law.

The Company hereby employs the Employee in the capacity and for the position set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. Employee hereby accepts such employment with the Company upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 
(b)
The duties of the Employee shall include the duties and services described in Schedule 1, which duties and services shall at all times be subject to the direction, approval and control of the Board and shall include such other duties, as may be assigned by the Board commensurate with the responsibilities normally associated with Employee's position.

2.            Services to be Rendered.

 
(a)
Employee shall perform such duties as are usually performed by an Employee with the position set forth in Schedule 1 of a business similar in size and scope as the Company and such other reasonable additional duties as may be prescribed from time to time by the Company which are reasonable and consistent with the Company's operations, taking into account Employee's expertise and job responsibilities.  During the term of this Agreement, Employee agrees to devote his full time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to Employee and to use reasonable efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities.  The Employee will use Employee's best efforts to promote the interests of the Company.

 
(b)
During the term of this Agreement, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Employee to (i) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees; (ii) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions; or (iii) manage personal investments or companies in which personal investments are made so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of Employee's responsibilities with the Company and which companies are not in direct competition with the Company.  Any income incurred by Employee outside the scope of his employment and permitted pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall inure to the benefit of Employee, and the Company shall not claim any entitlement thereto; provided, however, that any income derived by Employee related to the business of the Company, including, without limitation, compensation for serving on boards of directors of companies in which the Company has a significant investment, shall be paid over to the Company as and when received.

(b)
Company and Employee understand and agree that the scope and duration of the covenants contained in this Section 7 are reasonable both in time and geographical area and are fairly necessary to protect the Company's legitimate business interests.  Such covenants shall survive the termination of Employee's employment except as otherwise provided herein.  The parties further agree that such covenants shall be regarded as divisible and shall be operative as to time and geographical area to the extent that they may be made so and, if any part of such covenants is declared invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remainder shall not be affected.  Employee hereby warrants to Company that Employee's compliance with each of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement will not, upon the termination, of Employee's employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, cause Employee to be unable to earn a living that is suitable and acceptable to Employee.

 
(c)
Employee understands and agrees that, due to the highly competitive nature of the Company's industry, the breach of any covenants set out in this Section 8 will cause irreparable injury to the Company for which it will have no adequate remedy at law.  Therefore, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies as it may have hereunder, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in state or federal court for any breach or threatened breach of Section 7.  Nothing herein, however, shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Employee,

 
(d)
Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, request, cause or induce any person who is at the time, or 12 months prior thereto had been, an employee of or a consultant of the Company to leave the employ of or terminate such person's relationship with the Company or (ii) employ, hire, engage or be associated with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company any such person, or any customer of the Company or its affiliates or (iii) attempt to limit or interfere with any business agreement or relationship existing between the Company and/or its affiliates with a third party.

 
(e)
Employee shall not disparage the business reputation of the Company (or its management team) or take any actions that are harmful to the Company's goodwill with its customers, content providers, bandwidth or other network infrastructure providers, vendors, employees, the media or the public.  Employee recognizes that such actions would cause irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law and that the Company may seek in state or federal court, and is entitled to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in state or federal court to stop any such conduct or statements for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 7(e) during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter.
 
 
 

 
 
 
(f)
Company spends considerable amounts of time, money and effort in developing and maintaining good will in its industry.  Employee agrees the covenants contained within this Section 7:  (i) are reasonable and necessary in all respects to protect the goodwill, trade secrets, confidential information, and business interests of Company; (ii) are not oppressive to Employee; and (iii) do not impose any greater restraint on Employee than is reasonably necessary to protect the goodwill, trade secrets, confidential information and legitimate business interests of Company.

8.            Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.

 
(a)
The Employee acknowledges that as a result of Employee's employment by the Company, the Employee, both during and after the Term, will obtain secret and confidential information concerning the business of the Company and its affiliates, including, without limitation, financial information, trade secrets, information concerning the operations, sales, personnel, suppliers, customers, costs, profits and pricing policies, "know how" and certain business methodologies (the "Confidential Information").

 
(b)
During the Term and thereafter, the Employee shall exercise all due and diligent precautions to protect the integrity of the customer lists, mailing lists and sources thereof, statistical data and compilations, agreements, contracts, manuals, memoranda, notes, records, reports or other documents and any and all other materials embodying any Confidential Information (the "Confidential Materials") and, upon the Company's request in writing, Employee shall immediately return to the Company all such Confidential Materials (and copies thereof) then in Employee's possession or control.
 
 
 

 
 
 
(c)
Employee shall not at any time, either during the Term of this Agreement or thereafter, divulge to any person or entity any Confidential Information or deliver or permit any person or entity to obtain any Confidential Materials except (i) when required in the course of performing Employee's duties hereunder, (ii) with the Company's express written consent, (iii) where required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or other government process or (iv) the Employee shall have no responsibility for the divulgence of any information which is in the public domain.  If the Employee shall be required to make disclosure pursuant to the provisions of clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Employee promptly, but in no event more than 48 hours after learning of such subpoena, court order or other governmental process, shall notify, by personal delivery or by electronic means, confirmed by mail, the Company and, at the Company's expense, Employee shall (x) take all reasonably necessary steps required by the Company to defend against the enforcement of such subpoena, court order or other government process and (y) permit the Company to intervene and participate with counsel of its choice in any proceeding relating to the enforcement thereof.

 
(d)
Upon termination of Employee's employment with the Company, the Employee shall promptly deliver to the Company all Confidential Materials relating to the Company and its affiliates, which Employee may then possess or have under Employee's control; provided, however, that Employee shall be entitled to retain copies of such documents reasonably necessary to document Employee's financial relationship (both past and future) with the Company.

 
(e)
The Employee acknowledges that (i) any breach of the provisions of these Sections 7 and 8 may cause substantial and irreparable harm to the Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business of the Company and its affiliates.

9.            Remedies.

 
(a)
If Employee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 7 or 8, the Company shall have the right and remedy:

 
(i)
to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction or through arbitration as provided herein; and

 
(ii)
to require Employee to account for and to pay over the Company all damages suffered by the Company (including consequential and incidental damages) as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 7 and 8, and Employee hereby agrees to account for and pay over such damages to the Company;

 
(b)
The Employee acknowledges that the services being rendered hereunder to the Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that any such breach or threatened breach may cause substantial and irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.  In any equitable proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, the Company shall not have to prove irreparable harm.  (However, in a suit for damages Company shall be required to prove the amount of damages actually sustained.)
 
 
 

 
 
 
(c)
Each of the rights and remedies enumerated in Section 9(a) shall be independent of the other, and shall be severally enforceable, and such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or equity.

 
(d)
If any provision of Section 7 or 8 is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability, the court making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration, or area, or all of them, and such provision or provisions shall then be enforceable in such modified form.

 
(e)
The Company and Employee agree that any dispute or controversy arising between any of the parties to this Agreement, or any person or entity in privity therewith, out of the transactions effected and relationships created in connection herewith, including any dispute or controversy involving the formation, terms or construction of this Agreement, regardless of kind or character, will be resolved through binding arbitration held in Bexar County, Texas.  The only disputes not subject to mandatory, binding arbitration are requests for injunctive relief.  With respect to the arbitration of any dispute or controversy, each party understands that:

 
(i)
arbitration is final and binding on the parties;

 
(ii)
each party is waiving its right to seek certain remedies in court, including to right to a jury trial;

 
(iii)
discovery in arbitration is different and more limited than discovery in litigation; and

 
(iv)
an arbitrator's award need not include factual findings or legal reasoning, and any party's right to appeal or to seek modification of a ruling by the arbitrator is strictly limited.

Each party to this Agreement will submit any dispute or controversy to arbitration before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") within five days after receiving a written request to do so from the other party.  If any party fails to submit a dispute or controversy to arbitration as requested, then the requesting party may commence the arbitration proceeding.  The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the proceeding and all issues raised by this Agreement to be arbitrated.  Each party to this Agreement will be bound by the determination of any arbitrator or arbitration panel impaneled by the AAA to adjudicate the dispute.  Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Any party to this Agreement may bring an action including a summary or expedited proceeding, to counsel arbitration of any such dispute or controversy in a court of competent jurisdiction and, further, may seek provision or ancillary remedies, including temporary or injunctive relief in connection with such dispute or controversy in a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the dispute or controversy is ultimately resolved through binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 10(e).  If any party institutes legal proceedings in an effort to resist arbitration and is unsuccessful in doing so, the prevailing party is entitled to recover, from the losing party, its legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the defense of such legal proceedings.
 
 
 

 
 
10.            Indemnification.

 
(a)
To the full extent allowed by law, the Company shall hold harmless and indemnify the Employee, his executors, administrators or assigns, against any and all judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually incurred by the Employee (net of any related insurance proceeds or other amounts received by the Employee or paid by or on behalf of the Company on the Employee's behalf in compensation of such judgments, penalties, fines, settlements or expenses) in connection with any threatened, actual or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitral, administrative or investigative, or any appeal in such action, suit or proceeding, to which the Employee was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent (a "Proceeding"), because such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary (an "Affiliate Employee") of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (each, a "Company Affiliate").  Upon authorization of indemnification of the Employee by the Board of Directors in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Nevada General Corporation Law (the "NGCL"), the Employee shall be presumed to be entitled to such indemnification under this Agreement upon submission of a Claim (as hereinafter defined).  Thereafter, the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome the presumption that the Employee is so entitled.  Such presumption shall only be overcome by a judgment or other final adjudication, after all appeals and all time for appeals have expired ("Final Determination"), adverse to the Employee establishing that such indemnification is not permitted hereunder or by law.  An actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Employee has not met the applicable standard of conduct for indemnification shall not be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Employee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.  The purchase, establishment or maintenance of any Indemnification Arrangement shall not in any way diminish, restrict, limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or of the Employee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Employee shall not in any way diminish, restrict, limit or affect the Employee's right to indemnification from the Company or any other party or parties under any other indemnification arrangement, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or the NGCL.

 
(b)
Subject only to the provisions of this Section 10(b), as long as the Employee shall continue to serve as an officer of the Company and, thereafter, as long as the Employee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Employee was or is an officer of the Company, the Company shall, unless no such policies are available in any market, purchase and maintain in effect for the benefit of the Employee one or more valid, binding and enforceable policies (the "Insurance Policies") of directors' and officers' liability insurance ("D&O Insurance") providing adequate liability coverage for the Employee's acts as an officer of the Company.  The Company shall promptly notify the Employee of any lapse, amendment or failure to renew said policy or policies or any provision thereof relating to the extent or nature of coverage provided thereunder.  In the event the Company does not purchase and maintain in effect said policy or policies of D&O Insurance pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10(b), the Company shall, to the full extent permitted by law, in addition to and not in limitation of the other rights granted the Employee under this Agreement, hold harmless and indemnify the Employee to the full extent of coverage which would otherwise have been provided for the benefit of the Employee pursuant to the Insurance Policies.

The Employee shall have the right to receive from the Company on demand, or at his option to have the Company pay promptly on his behalf, in advance of a Final Determination of a Proceeding all expenses payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as corresponding amounts are expended or incurred by the Employee in connection with such Proceeding or otherwise expended or incurred by the Employee (such amounts so expended or incurred being referred to as "Advanced Amounts").  In making any claim for payment by the Company of any expenses, including any Advanced Amount, pursuant to this Agreement, the Employee shall submit to the Company a written request for payment (a "Claim"), which includes a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail the dollar amount expended (or incurred or expected to be expended or incurred).  Each item on such schedule shall be supported by the bill, agreement or other documentation relating thereto, a copy of which shall be appended to the schedule as an exhibit.

Where the Employee is requesting Advanced Amounts, the Employee must also provide (i) written affirmation of such Employee's good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct required by law for indemnification, and (ii) a written undertaking to repay such Advanced Amounts if a Final Determination is made that the Employee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 
(d)
The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any claim made against the Employee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Employee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any state statutory law or common law.

 
(e)
All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period the Employee is an employee of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as the Employee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Employee was an officer of the Company.

 
(f)
Promptly after receipt by the Employee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, the Employee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof, but failure to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to the Employee.  With respect to any such Proceeding:

 
(i)
The Company shall be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;
 
 
 

 
 
 
(ii)
Except with prior written consent of the Employee, the Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding; and

 
(iii)
The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on the Employee without the Employee's prior written consent.  The Employee shall not settle any Proceeding with respect to which the Employee has received indemnified amounts or Advanced Amounts without the Company's prior written consent, nor will the Employee unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed settlement.

11.            Notice.

Any notice required hereunder shall (a) be delivered by hand or (b) sent by registered or certified mail addressed to the other party hereto at its address set forth above for Company and on Item 1 of Schedule 1 for Employee or at such other address as notice thereof shall have been given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.  Any such notice shall become effective (i) if mailed, on the date indicated on the receipt or if not accepted, the date indicated that delivery was attempted, and (ii) in the case of delivery by hand, upon delivery or attempted delivery as shown on the records of the deliveries.

12.            Entire Agreement; Amendments .

This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements or understandings, oral or written, between the parties hereto and represents their entire understanding and agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement which is executed by both parties to this Agreement.  Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a continuing waiver or consent to any subsequent breach by any party hereto.

13.            Severability.

In the event of the invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Agreement, such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof and such other provisions shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect.

14.            Assignment; Binding Effect .

This Agreement is not assignable by Employee or the Company without the prior written consent of the other party.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Employee and the Company and their successors and assigns.  It is agreed that in the event of the termination under this Agreement for any reason, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all salary and benefits shall cease as of the date of termination provided that all accrued salary, bonus and expenses shall be paid to Employee or Employee's successors, assigns, estate or legal representative as the case may be.

15.            Section Headings.

The Section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 
 

 
 
16.            Governing Law; Venue.

This Agreement shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.  The parties hereto agree that any actions or proceedings instituted to enforce rights hereunder shall be initiated in Bexar County, Texas.

17.            Execution in Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instruments.
