No failure to so notify an indemnitor shall relieve it of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that it can demonstrate damages attributable to such failure. Within a reasonable period of time following receipt of written notice and the relevant reasonably available information from the indemnitee relating to any claim ("Notice Period"), the indemnitor shall notify the indemnitee in writing if the indemnitor acknowledges its indemnification obligation and elects to assume control of the defense and settlement of that claim (a "Notice of Election"). During the Notice Period, the indemnitee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to extend the date on which a response to the claim is due until the indemnitor has provided its Notice of Election. The indemnitor shall be responsible for all costs and expenses related to such claim (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements and reasonable out-of-pocket costs of investigation and litigation) incurred by the indemnitee ("Costs and Expenses") during the Notice Period if the indemnitor is obligated to indemnify the indemnitee.

In addition, the indemnitor shall not be required to indemnify the indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by the indemnitee in the settlement of any claim for which the indemnitor has delivered a timely Notice of Election if such amount was agreed to without the written consent of the indemnitor.
(c) Procedure Where No Notice of Election Is Delivered. If the indemnitor does not deliver a Notice of Election relating to a claim, or otherwise fails to acknowledge its indemnification obligation or to assume the defense of a claim, within the required Notice Period or fails to diligently defend the claim, the indemnitee shall have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost, expense, and risk of the indemnitor, including payment of any judgment or award, the costs of settlement or compromise of the claim, and any other Costs and Expenses.

The arbitrator will not have the authority to award damages other than the type allowed by this Agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

BancTec shall not have the power to assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of EDS, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. BancTec shall have the right to subcontract or delegate any portion of its duties or obligations in performance of this Agreement to any third party without EDS' consent provided that BancTec shall remain fully responsible for complete performance of all of BancTec's obligations set forth in this Agreement and for any third party's compliance with the non-disclosure and confidentiality provisions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if BancTec subcontracts or delegates all or substantially all of its duties or obligations of performance in this Agreement to any third party, BancTec shall (i) first obtain EDS' prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) remain fully responsible for complete performance of all of BancTec's obligations set forth in this Agreement and for any third party's compliance with the non-disclosure and confidentiality provisions set forth in this Agreement. Further, if the subcontract proposed by BancTec requires migration to another platform or a material adverse impact on the Customer, BancTec shall provide notice to EDS of such intentions and shall utilize Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate the costs and expenses to the Customer associated with such required changes.

BancTec shall instruct those employees and consultants who have access to the Private Information to keep such Private Information confidential by using the same care and discretion that BancTec uses with respect to its own Confidential Information and trade secrets. BancTec shall comply with all current and future applicable regulatory implementations of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Pub. L. 106-102) and other applicable laws and regulations with regard to the Private Information. Without limiting subsection (a) above, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, BancTec shall destroy any and all copies of the Private Information that are in its possession, or at EDS's direction and at EDS's expense, return the EDS files containing the Private Information to EDS. In addition, in performing its duties and obligations under this Agreement, BancTec will comply, at its expense, with all applicable bylaws and operating regulations of credit card associations and American Express and Discover, as such bylaws and regulations may be amended or modified from time to time, including all applicable requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
(c) BancTec represents and warrants that it is familiar with the terms and provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (as amended, the "FCPA"), and further specifically agrees that it will comply with the FCPA. BancTec represents and warrants that BancTec is and will remain the record owner of each account specified by it for payments under this Agreement.

(a) A Party whose performance is prevented, restricted, or interfered with by reason of a Force Majeure condition shall be excused from such performance to the extent of such Force Majeure condition so long as such Party provides the other Party with prompt written notice describing the Force Majeure condition and takes all reasonable steps to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and immediately continues performance whenever and to the extent such causes are removed.
(b) If, due to a Force Majeure condition, the scheduled time of delivery or performance is or will be delayed for more than thirty (30) days after the scheduled date, the Party not relying upon the Force Majeure condition may terminate, without liability to the other Party, the Services affected under particular Customer Contracts.
19.8 Severability. If, but only to the extent that, any provision of this Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, then both Parties shall be relieved of all obligations arising under such provision, it being the intent and agreement of the Parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable while preserving its intent. If that is not possible, another provision that is legal and enforceable and achieves the same objective shall be substituted. If the remainder of this Agreement is not affected by
28
such declaration or finding and is capable of substantial performance, then the remainder shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.
19.9 Waiver. Any waiver of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, or agreement to be performed by a Party under this Agreement shall (a) only be valid if the waiver is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party against which such waiver is sought to be enforced, and (b) apply only to the specific covenant, condition or agreement to be performed, the specific instance or specific breach thereof and not to any other instance or breach thereof or subsequent instance or breach.
