TCC hereby consents to the sale and assumption contemplated by Sections 2.1 and 2.2. 2.3 Sale and Purchase of TCC Assets On the Closing Date, as of the Transfer Date, TCC agrees to sell, assign and transfer to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from TCC all right, title and interest in and to the following properties and assets (collectively, the "TCC Assets"): (i) All Transferred Account Balances not required to be transferred to TRC pursuant to the TCC Receivables Purchase Agreement and not constituting 24 Month Account Balances; (ii) All Accounts (other than Accounts the Account Balances of which are required to be transferred to TRC pursuant to the TCC Receivables Purchase Agreement) related to TCC Credit Cards (including the Account Balances thereunder not required to be transferred to TRC pursuant to the TCC Receivables Purchase Agreement); (iii) All Cardholder Agreements relating to TCC Credit Cards; (iv) All records directly relating to Transferred Account Balances and TCC Credit Card Accounts; and (v) Related assets set forth on Exhibit 8 hereto, provided that Exhibit 8 may be supplemented from time to time prior to the Closing upon mutual agreement of the parties hereto. The sale to Purchaser of the Transferred Account Balances and the other TCC Assets is made without recourse to TCC, subject only to TCC's representations and warranties under Section 9 and TCC's indemnification under Section 7.2. 2.4 Assumption of TCC Obligations under TCC Assets; TNB Consent Purchaser agrees to assume all obligations of TCC to Cardholders under Cardholder Agreements relating to TCC Credit Cards that are to be performed after the Transfer Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, and were not required to be performed before the Transfer Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable. TNB consents to the sale and assumption contemplated by Sections 2.3 and 2.4. 2.5 Accounting Books and Records; Rights of Inspection Each Seller shall retain its accounting books and records relating to the Credit Cards for a period of seven (7) years from and after the Closing Date or for such longer time as may be required by law or applicable statutes of limitation. Purchaser shall be provided access to such books and records at such locations as they are normally kept and may inspect and copy such records. Such inspection and copying shall be conducted during Sellers' normal business hours in a manner which does not reasonably interfere with normal business operations, after giving reasonable prior written notice. 3. Transfer Date; Consideration for Assets 3.1 Transfer Date The purchases and sales hereunder shall be effective as of the Transfer Date or each Subsequent Transfer Date as specified in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 respectively. 3.2 Purchase Price The amount to be paid by Purchaser to Sellers for the Assets on the Closing Date (the "Purchase Price") shall be an amount equal to (A) the Account Balance (other than any 24 Month Account Balance) of all Eligible Accounts, plus (B) the amount then on deposit in the collection account pursuant to the Tandy Securitization, less (C) the agreed upon amount set forth in the Closing Statement, less (D) the unpaid principal amount of the 8.25% Class A Asset Backed Certificates issued in connection with the Tandy Securitization plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Purchase Price shall be payable in the manner set forth in Section 3.3, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in this Agreement (including without limitation Section 3.5 for Accounts later determined to be Ineligible Accounts and further subject to adjustment as provided in this Agreement under Section 3.6). 3.3 Method of Payment At the Closing, Purchaser will pay to Sellers or their respective assignees or designees the cash amount set forth on the Closing Statement in immediately available funds deposited as directed by Sellers; and the remainder will be paid on a deferred basis (the "Deferred Amount"). The Deferred Amount is calculated based on the total Special Plan Account Balances (excluding 24 Month Account Balances) as of the Transfer Date. The Deferred Amount shall be payable in installments as described in the next sentence. On each Deferred Payment Date, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to the Deferred Amount Payment set forth in the Closing Statement which is due on such Deferred Payment Date. Deferred Amount Payments made by Purchaser will reduce the outstanding balance of the Deferred Amount. 3.4 [Intentionally Left Blank] 3.5 Adjustments for Ineligible Accounts With respect to the period from the Closing Date to 240 days after the Closing Date (the "Adjustment Period"), if Purchaser is unable (by reason only of the matter or event which rendered the Account ineligible and only to the extent thereof) to collect from any Cardholder the full Account Balance in respect of any Ineligible Account for which Purchaser paid a portion of the Purchase Price described in this Agreement, unless Purchaser shall be required to refund any amounts to such Cardholder due to the event making such Account an Ineligible Account, then Sellers will promptly repay to Purchaser the uncollected portion of any such Account Balance, or of such refund, as the case may be. During the Adjustment Period, Purchaser will use the same efforts to collect such Account Balances as Purchaser uses with respect to other accounts owned by it. Payments received by Purchaser during the Adjustment Period will be applied in accordance with the applicable Cardholder Agreement. Purchaser shall provide to each Seller a monthly list of Ineligible Accounts currently uncollected. By 250 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Sellers a final settlement statement identifying all Ineligible Accounts with respect to which Purchaser was unable to collect from any Cardholder that portion of the Account Balance for which payment was made on the Closing Date and the amount of the uncollected Account Balance related thereto, and payment shall be made to Purchaser by or on behalf of Sellers of the total amount of such uncollected Account Balances. Unless either Seller has notified Purchaser of a dispute in the amount, Purchaser may set off any amounts owed by Sellers under this Section 3.5 against amounts owing by Purchaser to Tandy through the mechanism for settlement under the Merchant Services Agreement. Disagreements as to the proper amount of such uncollected Account Balances shall be resolved in the manner set forth in Section 15 of this Agreement. 3.6 Adjustments of Purchase Price The Purchase Price shall be adjusted on or about the 16th day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs to reflect (i) required adjustments (for sales and clearing of payments in process and suspense accounts) to the Trial Balance as of the Transfer Date occurring in the normal course of business and to reflect the Purchase Price due for any Interim Accounts; (ii) account balances associated with Credit Cards which were included as Accounts on the Closing Statement, but were later determined not to be Accounts (as defined in Section 1 hereof); and (iii) 24 Month Account Balances inadvertently included in the Trial Balance. All other adjustments as permitted under this Agreement shall be made pursuant to the settlement mechanism under the Merchant Services Agreement. Disagreements as to the proper amount of such adjustments shall be resolved in the manner set forth in Section 15 of this Agreement. 3.7 Allocation of Purchase Price (a) The Purchase Price shall be allocated as reasonably determined by Purchaser on a schedule (the "Schedule") to be prepared by Purchaser either prior to or after the Closing and provided to Sellers as soon as the Schedule is available, but in no event more than thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date. Sellers shall have ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the Schedule to object to any allocation set forth therein. Thereafter, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a final form of the Schedule. If the parties cannot agree on the final form of the Schedule, any disputed items shall be resolved in the manner set forth in Section 15 hereof. (b) Within ten (10) calendar days after the final determination of the Schedule as provided above, Purchaser shall prepare, consistent with the allocations set forth in the Schedule as finally determined, an IRS Form 8594 pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code (and any comparable form under state, local or foreign law) based on the Schedule as agreed upon by the parties hereto and shall deliver such completed IRS Form 8594 to Sellers for their review. Purchaser and Sellers agree to report, and to cause their respective Affiliates to report, this transaction for state, local, federal and foreign tax purposes in all respects consistent with and in accordance with the Schedule and the Form 8594 prepared by Purchaser (and any comparable form under state, local or foreign law). Purchaser and each of the Sellers shall file a Form 8594 with the Internal Revenue Service as provided in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. If any state, local, foreign or federal taxing authority challenges such allocation, Purchaser and each of the Sellers shall cooperate and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in good faith in responding to such challenge. The party receiving such challenge shall give prompt written notice to the other party of any such challenge. 3.8 Sales Taxes Purchaser agrees to pay any and all sales, transfer or similar taxes payable by reason of the purchase and sale of the Assets and the transfer and assumption of Accounts and Account Balances under this Agreement. 4. Closing The closing in respect of the sale and purchase of the Credit Card Business and the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place on the Closing Date at 1800 One Tandy Center, Fort Worth, Texas. 5. Agreements of Sellers during Pre-Transfer Period During the Pre-Transfer Period: 5.1 Access to Records and Information Sellers shall afford to Purchaser and its authorized agents and representatives reasonable access to the records, credit files and other information within each Seller's possession relating to their respective Credit Card Business. Each Seller shall during such period cause its personnel to provide to Purchaser assistance in Purchaser's investigation of matters relating to their respective Credit Card Business and to the Assets; provided, however, that Purchaser's investigation shall be conducted in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with such Seller's normal operations. 5.2 Operation of Credit Card Business Each Seller agrees to keep and maintain records and books of account in the same manner as it has in the past and as in effect on the date of this Agreement of all revenues and expenses with respect to the business and operations of its Credit Card Business; each Seller further agrees in accordance with its past practices to use reasonable efforts to collect or arrange for the collection of all revenues and other receipts with respect to its Credit Card Business. 5.3 Conduct of Business Prior to Transfer Date Except as may be otherwise required by law or regulatory requirement or unless Purchaser otherwise consents in writing, each Seller will manage and operate its Credit Card Business in the ordinary course of business and in substantially the same manner (except as otherwise required hereunder) as heretofore managed and operated by such Seller; provided that each Seller will promptly advise Purchaser in writing of any material actions, suits or proceedings, including but not limited to regulatory proceedings or inquiries, which are made, commenced or threatened against or affecting such Seller or its Credit Card Business in addition to those set forth on Exhibit 9, and will promptly advise Purchaser in writing of any other actual or, if within Sellers' knowledge, prospective adverse change in the financial condition, business or prospects of its Credit Card Business; and provided further that neither Seller will waive, any material claim owed to it in connection with its Credit Card Business or breach any material obligation under any contract, commitment or agreement relating to the Assets. Neither Seller will, after the date hereof, settle or compromise any material claim without the consent of the Purchaser. 5.4 Due Diligence Sellers shall assist Purchaser in all reasonable respects in conducting its due diligence prior to the Closing Date and Sellers and Purchaser agree to resolve all related issues in good faith. 6. Certain Agreements of Purchaser and Sellers 6.1 Certain Filings and Consents Sellers and Purchaser shall as soon as practicable make or cause to be made any filings and applications required to be filed in order to obtain all required regulatory approvals, consents or waivers. Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate in the preparation of all such filings and applications prior to filing. All such applications shall be mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Sellers. Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate with one another (A) in promptly determining what filings or applications are required to be made or approvals, consents or waivers are required to be obtained under any relevant federal, state, local or foreign law or regulation and (B) in promptly making any such filings or applications, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking to obtain any such approvals, consents or waivers in a timely manner. Purchaser and Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all other actions and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly, all other things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations, to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable. 6.2 Communications with Public Neither Purchaser nor any of Sellers nor their respective Affiliates shall issue any press releases or make any public statements concerning this Agreement or the transactions hereunder without the prior approval of each of the other parties hereto of both the content and timing of such press releases or statements. Both the content and timing of communications with Cardholders concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the prior approval of Sellers and Purchaser. Notwithstanding the above, if any party hereto reasonably believes in good faith that any press release, public statement or communication is required by law or regulation, and any other party hereto refuses to approve such press release, public statement or communication, such press release, public statement or communication may be made without prior approval. 6.3 Operation of Credit Card Business After Transfer Date From the Transfer Date to the Closing Date, each Seller shall continue to manage and operate the Credit Card Business in the ordinary course of business and in substantially the same manner (except as otherwise required hereunder) as heretofore managed and operated by such Seller, for the benefit of Purchaser. All applications for TNB Credit Cards received by TNB on or after the Transfer Date, but prior to the Closing Date, shall be acted upon by TNB in the ordinary course of business and all credit extended thereunder shall constitute the Interim Accounts. After the Closing Date and until such time as Purchaser's credit card applications and agreements are substituted for credit card applications and agreements at all Tandy Stores, Sellers shall act as agent for Purchaser for the limited purpose of originating new credit card accounts to be issued by Purchaser to customers of Tandy Stores pursuant to the Merchant Services Agreement. Any credit card applications received by Sellers for TNB Credit Cards on or after the Transfer Date and not acted upon prior to the Closing Date shall be delivered to Purchaser promptly upon receipt. All credit card accounts opened pursuant to such applications shall be deemed originated by Purchaser. 6.4 Cardholder Disputes Cardholder Disputes relating to Accounts arising on or before the Transfer Date or on or before the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Merchant Services Agreement as if such Cardholder Disputes had arisen with respect to accounts subject to the provisions of the Merchant Services Agreement. Sellers shall have no financial responsibility under the Merchant Services Agreement to Purchaser with respect to any Account beyond the disputed amount or the Account Balance on the Transfer Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, which was included in the Purchase Price, whichever is less. 6.5 Payments Received by Sellers Each Seller will hold in trust for Purchaser all monies, checks and other payments received by such Seller after the Transfer Date on any Account purchased by Purchaser from Sellers. Such amounts shall be remitted pursuant to the settlement mechanism under the Merchant Services Agreement. Each Seller hereby authorizes and empowers Purchaser to sign and endorse such Seller's name on all checks, drafts, money orders or other forms of payment relating to such Accounts purchased by Purchaser. 6.6 Collection of Purchased Accounts Subject to the provisions of any prior agreement between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and Sellers or any of their Affiliates, Purchaser shall have the right to take, or cause to be taken, such action to enforce Purchaser's rights with respect to any Account purchased hereunder as Purchaser may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. Any such collection or enforcement action, to the extent reasonably deemed legally required by Purchaser, may be carried out in either Seller's name or in Purchaser's name, at the option of Purchaser, provided that Purchaser may only carry out such action in a lawful manner in a Seller's name with the prior written permission of such Seller. Each Seller hereby constitutes and appoints Purchaser its true and lawful attorney for such purpose, with full power of substitution in the premises, which appointment shall include (but shall not be limited to) the power to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all amounts owing at any time on any Account purchased from such Seller and owned by Purchaser, and to endorse checks, drafts, orders and other instruments tendered in payment of such amounts and to settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any claims Purchaser or such Seller may have with respect thereto. This power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest. 6.7 Sellers' Assurances On and after the Closing Date, each Seller shall (i) give such further assurances to Purchaser and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such acknowledgements and other instruments and take such further action as may be reasonably necessary and appropriate effectively to vest in Purchaser the full legal and equitable title to the Assets; and (ii) cooperate with Purchaser in the orderly transition of the operations acquired by Purchaser. 6.8 Purchaser's Assurances On and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall: (i) give such further assurances to each Seller and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such acknowledgements and other instruments and take such further action as may be necessary and appropriate to relieve and discharge effectively such Seller from any obligations assumed by Purchaser; and (ii) cooperate with Sellers in the orderly transition of the operations acquired by Purchaser. 6.9 Audit Letter At the request of the other party, at the requesting party's expense and upon reasonable notice, the requested party shall provide to the requesting party a letter from its independent accounting firm reporting the results of the accounting firm's review of the requested party's records and internal procedures relating to the Accounts. 6.10 Correction of Account Terms After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to identify TNB Credit Card Accounts not in compliance with current laws and regulations relating to fees and charges which are not promptly debit ratified as to Purchaser's terms. If Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that it is possible to remedy any such violations of laws or regulations with respect to (i) such identified TNB Accounts and (ii) any TCC Credit Card Accounts which have not been debit ratified as to Purchaser's terms with respect to which Purchaser (without independent investigation) has actual knowledge of any similar violations, Purchaser shall make a good faith attempt to remedy such violations. 7. Indemnification 7.1 Indemnification by TNB (a) TNB hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser and hold Purchaser harmless from any liability, loss, cost or expense, including reasonable outside attorneys' fees, to the extent it is caused by or results from: (i) the breach by TNB of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; (ii) the breach by TNB of any of its covenants or agreements herein contained; or (iii) any liability or obligation, contingent or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with TNB's conduct of its Credit Card Business prior to the Closing Date; except, in the case of clause (iii), to the extent that (A) such liability or obligation is expressly assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement, or (B) such liability, loss, cost or expense results from a breach by SPS of SPS's obligations under the Card Services Agreement or a violation of law by SPS, unless the act or omission constituting such violation was within the control of any of the Sellers, or (C) the act or omission causing such liability, loss, cost or expense was directly within the control of SPS. (b) In case any claim is made, or any suit or action is commenced, against Purchaser in respect of which indemnification is sought by it under this Section 7.1, Purchaser shall promptly give TNB notice thereof and TNB shall be entitled to participate in (or, if Purchaser does not desire to defend, to conduct) the defense thereof at TNB's expense. TNB may (but need not) defend or participate in the defense of any such claim, suit or action, but TNB shall promptly notify Purchaser if TNB shall not desire to defend or participate in the defense of any such claim, suit or action, or if TNB disputes liability for indemnity under this Section 7.1. Thereafter Purchaser shall defend and, so long as TNB has not undertaken the defense or is not participating in the defense, Purchaser may at any time notify TNB of its intention to settle or compromise any claim, suit or action against Purchaser in respect of which payments may be sought by Purchaser hereunder, and Purchaser may settle or compromise any such claim, suit or action unless TNB notifies Purchaser in writing (within ten (10) days after Purchaser has given written notice of its intention to settle or compromise) TNB intends to conduct the defense of such claim, suit or action. Any such permitted settlement or compromise by Purchaser of, or any final judgment or decree entered on or in, any claim, suit or action which Purchaser has defended and of which TNB has not elected to defend or to participate in the defense of in accordance herewith, shall be deemed to have been consented to by, and shall be binding upon, TNB as fully as if TNB had assumed the defense thereof and a final judgment or decree had been entered in such suit or action, or with regard to such claim, by a court of competent jurisdiction for the amount of such settlement, compromise, judgment or decree. In all cases in which TNB is participating in the defense with Purchaser, Purchaser shall not settle or compromise any claim or action without TNB's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 7.2 Indemnification by TCC (a) TCC hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser and hold Purchaser harmless from any liability, loss, cost or expense, including reasonable outside attorneys' fees, to the extent it is caused by or results from: (i) the breach by TCC of TCC's representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement; (ii) the breach by TCC of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Merger Agreement; or (iii) any liability or obligation, contingent or otherwise, or arising out of or in connection with TCC's conduct of its Credit Card Business prior to the Closing Date; except, in the case of clause (iii), to the extent that (A) such liability or obligation is expressly assumed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, or (B) such liability, loss, cost or expense results from a breach by SPS of SPS's obligations under the Card Services Agreement or a violation of law by SPS, unless the act or omission constituting such violation was within the control of any of the Sellers, or (C) the act or omission causing such liability, loss, cost or expense was directly within the control of SPS. (b) In case any claim is made, or any suit or action is commenced, against Purchaser in respect of which indemnification is sought by it under this Section 7.2, Purchaser shall promptly give TCC notice thereof and TCC shall be entitled to participate in (or, if Purchaser does not desire to defend, to conduct) the defense thereof at TCC's expense. TCC may (but need not) defend or participate in the defense of any such claim, suit or action, but TCC shall promptly notify Purchaser if TCC shall not desire to defend or participate in the defense of any such claim, suit or action or if TCC disputes liability for indemnity under this Section 7.2. Thereafter Purchaser shall defend and, so long as TCC has not undertaken the defense or is not participating in the defense. Purchaser may at any time notify TCC of its intention to settle or compromise any claim, suit or action against Purchaser in respect of which payments may be sought by Purchaser hereunder, and Purchaser may settle or compromise any such claim, suit or action unless TCC notifies Purchaser in writing (within ten (10) days after Purchaser has given written notice of its intention to settle or compromise) TCC intends to conduct the defense of such claim, suit or action. Any such permitted settlement or compromise by Purchaser of, or any final judgment or decree entered on or in, any claim, suit or action which Purchaser has defended and of which TCC has not elected to defend or participate in the defense of in accordance herewith, shall be deemed to have been consented to by, and shall be binding upon, TCC as fully as if TCC had assumed the defense thereof and a final judgment or decree had been entered in such suit or action, or with regard to such claim, by a court of competent jurisdiction for the amount of such settlement, compromise, judgment or decree. In all cases in which TCC is participating in the defense with Purchaser, Purchaser shall not settle or compromise any claim or action without TCC's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 7.3 Indemnification by Purchaser (a) Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify each Seller and hold it harmless from any liability, loss, cost or expense, including reasonable outside attorneys' fees, to the extent it is caused by or results from: (i) the breach of any of Purchaser's representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement; (ii) the breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Merger Agreement; or (iii) any liability or obligation, contingent or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with Purchaser's conduct of the Credit Card Business following the Closing Date and not relating to acts or occurrences prior to the Closing Date; except, in the case of clause (iii), to the extent that (A) such liability or obligation is expressly assumed by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement, (B) such liability, loss, cost or expense results from a breach by either Seller of such Seller's obligations under the Card Services Agreement or a violation of law by either Seller, unless the act or omission constituting such violation was within the control of SPS, or (C) the act or omission causing such liability, loss, cost or expense was directly within the control of Sellers. (b) In case any claim is made, or any suit or action is commenced against either Seller in respect of which indemnification is sought by such Seller under this Section 7.3, such Seller shall promptly give Purchaser notice thereof and Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in (or, if such Seller does not desire to defend, to conduct) the defense thereof at Purchaser's expense. Purchaser may (but need not) defend or participate in the defense of any such claim, suit or action, but Purchaser shall promptly notify such Seller if Purchaser shall not desire to defend or participate in the defense of any such claim, suit or action or if Purchaser disputes liability for indemnity under this Section 7.3. Thereafter such Seller shall defend and, so long as Purchaser has not undertaken the defense or is not participating in the defense, such Seller may at any time notify Purchaser of its intention to settle or compromise any claim, suit or action against such Seller in respect of which payments may be sought by such Seller hereunder, and such Seller may settle or compromise any such claim, suit or action unless Purchaser notifies such Seller in writing (within ten (10) days after such Seller has given Purchaser written notice of its intention to settle or compromise) that Purchaser intends to conduct the defense of such claim, suit or action. Any such permitted settlement or compromise by Sellers of, or any final judgment or decree entered on or in, any claim, suit or action which such Seller has defended and of which Purchaser has not elected to defend or participate in the defense of in accordance herewith shall be deemed to have been consented to by, and shall be binding upon, Purchaser as fully as if Purchaser had assumed the defense thereof and a final judgment or decree had been entered in such suit or action, or with regard to such claim, by a court of competent jurisdiction for the amount of such settlement, compromise, judgment or decree. In all cases in which Purchaser is participating in the defense with Sellers, Sellers shall not settle or compromise any claim or actions without Purchaser's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 8.

The business and operations of TNB's Credit Card Business have been conducted by TNB in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in all material respects, provided, however, that any violation by TNB of an applicable law, rule or regulation shall not constitute a breach of this representation to the extent: (a) TNB's violation was caused by a breach by SPS of SPS's obligations under the Card Services Agreement; (b) TNB's violation was caused by a violation of law by SPS, unless the act or omission constituting such violation was within the control of any of the Sellers; or (c) the act or omission constituting such violation was directly within the control of SPS. 8.8 Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. This Agreement constitutes a valid sale, transfer, and assignment to Purchaser of all TNB Assets enforceable against TNB, assuming that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and constitutes an enforceable obligation of, Purchaser. Subject to the foregoing assumption, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of TNB enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws or judicial decisions affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and the rights of creditors of national banks and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 8.9 Condition of Assets TNB is now, and immediately prior to the transfers on the Transfer Date will be, the owner of all right, title and interest in and to all TNB Assets, free and clear of all assignments, security interests, claims, liens, encumbrances and other rights of third parties whatsoever (other than those arising under this Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the documents relating to the Tandy Securitization). The obligation of the Cardholder under each Eligible Account to pay the unpaid Account Balance will have become fully effective as of the Transfer Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, except as provided under any applicable Special Plan, and will not be subject to any offset, counterclaim or other defense of any kind or nature or be the subject of any pending litigation or other judicial or administrative proceeding, as of the Transfer Date or applicable Subsequent Transfer Date. The payment terms applicable to the Cardholders or other obligors on the Eligible Accounts shall not have been waived or modified by TNB other than in the ordinary course of business. All charge or credit transactions (including payments) as to which the records thereof shall have been received by TNB on or before the Transfer Date shall have been transmitted to SPS on or before the close of business on the Transfer Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, except those not included in the Trial Balance as of the Transfer Date for which adjustment is to be made under Section 3.6. 8.10 TNB Agreements and Accounts All forms of Cardholder Agreements in respect of TNB Credit Cards, and all forms of related periodic statements, are included in Exhibits 10 and 11 hereto, respectively. There are no other forms of Cardholder Agreements or periodic statements in use or in effect in respect of TNB Credit Cards. The forms of Cardholder Agreements and periodic statements related to TNB Credit Cards included in Exhibits 10 and 11 all complied on their respective effective dates in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations, provided, however, that any violation by TNB of an applicable law, rule or regulation shall not constitute a breach of this representation to the extent: (a) TNB's violation was caused by a breach by SPS of its obligations under the Card Services Agreement; (b) TNB's violation was caused by a violation of law by SPS, unless the act or omission constituting such violation was within the control of any of the Sellers; or (c) the act or omission constituting such violation was directly within the control of SPS. The forms of Cardholder Agreements and periodic statements included in Exhibits 10 and 11 accurately represent the agreements between TNB and Cardholders and the methods of computing balances and finance charges as of the effective dates of such agreements.

Settlement 15.1 Settlement of Disputed Amounts In the event that the parties hereto disagree as to any monetary item or amount (or computation or determination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of any monetary item or amount), other than the initial calculation of the Purchase Price and the Deferred Amount (provided that no party shall hereby be deemed to waive any other rights and remedies it may have hereunder or under applicable law with respect to the same), then any payment at the time required to be made under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of such items or amounts as to which the parties do not disagree. Any party hereto shall thereupon be entitled to request Coopers and Lybrand at a mutually agreeable office location (or, if said firm shall be unwilling to act hereunder, such other firm of nationally recognized independent accountants as the parties hereto may jointly designate which does not have a material relationship with either any party hereto) (either Coopers and Lybrand or such jointly designated alternative to be referred to in this Section 16 as the "Firm") to determine, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such disputed item or amount (or the computation or determination thereof). Any such request shall be in writing and shall specify with particularity the disputed items, amounts or computations being submitted for determination, and the requesting party shall furnish the other parties hereto with a copy of such request at the same time it is submitted to the Firm. The Firm shall as promptly as practicable determine, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the proper amount of any disputed item or other amount, or the computation thereof, and such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. Before submitting the final determination of any such dispute to the parties, the Firm shall submit one draft of such determination to all parties substantially simultaneously. Any party may submit to the Firm such additional information related to this draft determination as it wishes, provided such additional information is provided within seven (7) Business Days of delivery of the draft determination. The Firm, in its sole discretion, may but is not required to revise its draft determination in light of such additional information. The determination will be submitted to the parties in draft only one time before issuance of the final determination, which shall be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. In acting pursuant to this Agreement, the Firm shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of arbitrators. Each party hereto shall cooperate fully in assisting the Firm in making any determination requested hereunder, including giving the Firm full access to all files, books and records relevant thereto and providing such other information as the Firm may reasonably request in connection with the determination to be made by it hereunder. The fees and disbursements in connection with the Firm's determination shall be borne equally by the parties hereto unless the determination is adverse to a party in an amount in excess of $25,000, in which case such party shall bear and be responsible for the full amount of fees and disbursements of the Firm. In the event that a determination by the Firm pursuant to this Section 15.1 requires any previously suspended payment to be made by any party, such payment shall be made promptly (and in any event within 10 days) after receipt by such party from the Firm of written notice of such determination. The Firm shall promptly and substantially simultaneously notify Purchaser and Sellers in writing of any determination by it hereunder. 15.2 Interest Any amount payable by any party to another party pursuant to Section 15.1 shall bear interest from the date such amount would originally have been required to be paid hereunder had no dispute over such amount existing to the date of payment at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum during the period from and including the date due to the date paid. 15.3 Records and Financial Information Each party having control of relevant records and financial information used in connection with any adjustment provided for in this Section 15 shall certify the accuracy of such records and financial information if so requested by another party. 16. Default Following the occurrence of a breach by any party of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant hereunder, except for any failure to make a payment of the Deferred Amount when due hereunder, any party to whom the representation or warranty was made, or with whom the agreement or covenant was made, may give written notice to the party in breach identifying such breach, and the breaching party shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice in which to cure such breach. If the breach is not cured within such time, the party giving notice of the breach may recover its damages as provided in this Agreement or otherwise. If Purchaser fails to make a payment of the Deferred Amount when due hereunder, or SPS Newco fails to maintain the required level of security for the Deferred Amount under the Security Agreement, either Seller or their permitted assignees may give written notice to Purchaser of such failure and Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) days following the receipt of such notice in which to cure such breach. A failure by Purchaser to cure any breach within the applicable time period specified in the preceding sentence shall entitle Sellers or their successors or permitted assigns to recover their damages as provided in this Agreement or otherwise and to accelerate and declare immediately due and payable all of the unpaid Deferred Amount and accrued interest thereon and to foreclose under any and all security interests securing payment of the Deferred Amount and accrued interest thereon. 17. Miscellaneous 17.1 Expenses Except as is otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each party shall pay its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not by way of limitation, all regulatory fees, attorneys' fees, accounting fees and other expenses. 17.2 Notices All notices, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in person or by postage prepaid United States certified or registered mail, with return receipt requested, or otherwise actually received by facsimile transmission or by nationally recognized private courier service with receipt acknowledged in both instances, and addressed as follows: (i) If to TNB, to: Tandy National Bank 1800 One Tandy Center Fort Worth, Texas 76102 Attention: Ronald L.
