of Title 12 of the United States Code or any similar applicable state law.

         (c)      No provision hereof shall limit the right of any party to
exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any
real or personal property collateral or security, or to obtain provisional or
ancillary remedies, including without limitation, injunctive relief,
sequestration, attachment, garnishment or the appointment of a receiver from a
court of competent jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any
arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of any such remedy shall not waive
the right of any party to compel arbitration hereunder.

         (d)      Any dispute under this Agreement or any agreement related
thereto shall be settled pursuant to arbitration conducted by a single
arbitrator in Dallas, Texas. The arbitrator must be an active member of the
Texas State Bar with expertise in the substantive law applicable to the subject
matter of the dispute. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve disputes by
summary rulings in response to motions filed prior to the final arbitration
hearing. The arbitrator (i) shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the
substantive law of the State of Texas, (ii) may grant any remedy or relief that
a court of the State of Texas could order or grant within the scope hereof and
such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award, and (iii)
shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose
sanctions and to take such other actions as they deem necessary to the same
extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Texas
Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Any dispute in which the
amount in controversy is $5,000,000 or less shall be decided by a single
arbitrator who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000 (including
damages, costs, fees and expenses).

         (e)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any
arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000,000, the
arbitrator shall be required to make specific, written findings of fact and
conclusions of law. In such arbitrations (i) the arbitrator shall not have the
power to make any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which
is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the parties
unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and the
conclusions of law are not erroneous under the

                                                         CASH SERVICES AGREEMENT

                                       18

substantive law of the State of Texas, and (iii) the parties shall have in
addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating,
modifying or correcting an award the right to judicial review of (1) whether the
findings of fact rendered by the arbitrator are supported by substantial
evidence, and (2) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under the
substantive law of the State of Texas. Judgment confirming an award in such a
proceeding may be entered only if a court determines the award is supported by
substantial evidence and not based on legal error under the substantive law of
the State of Texas.

         (f)      To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrator and
the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration
proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. Neither
the arbitrator nor other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the
existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by
a party required in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or
regulation, or to the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights
set forth herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the
parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most
directly related to the foregoing documents or the subject matter of the dispute
shall control. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited
by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder
of such provision or any remaining provisions of this Agreement. This
arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any
of the foregoing documents or any relationship between the parties.

         (g)      Texas Capital and ACE hereby agree to keep all disputes and
arbitration proceedings strictly confidential, provided, however, that Texas
Capital and ACE may disclose such confidential information as is necessary in
any litigation between Texas Capital and ACE or as required by applicable law
and, on a confidential basis, to accountants, attorneys and other consultants in
the ordinary course of business.
