Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The reporting person is amending the Form 3 originally filed to correct the expiration dates of these options.
(2)	Mr. Duques received these options prior to his retirement from First Data Corporation (First Data) in April 2003. The terms of these options issued under First Data's 1992 Long-Term Incentive Plan provide that the options expire three years after retirement as an employee from First Data. Although he has returned to active employment with First Data, First Data has determined that, according to their terms, the options still expire three years from the date of Mr. Duques' previous retirement from employment and no extension of the options is in the best interest of First Data's investors.
(3)	The terms of this option provide that it expires three years after retirement from First Data, including retirement from service on the Board of Directors of First Data. Although he has returned as an employee and director of First Data, First Data has determined that, according to its terms, the option still expires three years from the date of Mr. Duques' prior retirement as a director on July 14, 2004 and no extension of the option is in the best interest of First Data's investors.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, See Instruction 6 for procedure.
