BACKGROUND
Visa and its Affiliates (as defined below) are in the business of providing to other entities debit and credit card related products and services which may include card issuance, card processing, merchant acquisition and incentive funding. JPMorgan Chase Bank and its Affiliates (severally and collectively “JPMC”) may from time to time wish to obtain such products and services from Visa and its Affiliates. “Affiliate” of a Party, means any entity that Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with the Party specified now as well as in the future. “Control” means the power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that Paymentech and Chase Merchant Services, and their successors in interest, are Affiliates of JPMorgan Chase.
JPMC and Visa have a special relationship, in that JPMC is a “Member” (i.e., owner) of Visa, and has agreed upon obtaining such membership to comply with certain obligations and has obtained certain rights under the By-laws and Operating Regulations (“Rules”) of Visa. JPMC and Visa are entering into this Master Agreement, together with Annexes and Collateral Documents for the purposes of agreeing to certain rights and obligations that are consistent with but supplemental to the Rules, or in some cases not covered by existing Rules.
This Agreement sets forth the master terms and conditions that will govern Visa's and Visa's Affiliates' relationship with JPMC for the products and services set forth in any applicable Annex(s) (“Products”). Each Party will name one of its employees as the primary liaison with the other party for each such Product (each a “Relationship Manager”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the agreements set forth below, JPMC and Visa agree as follows:
1. Construction.
1.1. Annex(s). Each Annex(s) shall be deemed to incorporate by reference the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement and all exhibits, schedules and appendices attached hereto and incorporated herein (“Collateral Documents”) and shall constitute a separate and binding contract between the JPMC entity and the Visa entity that sign the Annex(s).
1.2. References. In this Agreement, the phrase “as part of the Services” means that the services described are included as a part of the Services (defined herein) for the fees specified and no additional charge shall be payable by JPMC in connection therewith; however, any failure to include a specific reference to, or mention of the phrase “as part of the Services” in connection with any services shall not imply or be construed to mean that the services described are not included as a part of the Services for the fees specified or that an additional charge may be payable by JPMC in connection therewith.
1.3. Headings. The Section and subsection headings of the Agreement are for reference and convenience only and shall not be considered in the interpretation of the Agreement.
2. Confidentiality.
2.1. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means with respect to:

2.2. General Confidentiality Obligations
(a) JPMC and Visa consider it mutually beneficial that, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) JPMC disclose its Confidential Information to Visa, and (ii) Visa disclose its Confidential Information to JPMC. Each of JPMC and Visa agree to treat the Confidential Information of the other Party as confidential and proprietary to such other Party in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. For purposes of the Agreement, the Party providing Confidential Information and such Party’s Affiliates, as applicable, shall be referred to as the “Disclosing Party,” and the Party receiving the Confidential Information and such Party’s Affiliates, as applicable, shall be referred to as the “Receiving Party.”
(b) Except as otherwise expressly permitted under the Agreement or set forth in any license granted by Visa to JPMC, the Receiving Party shall not (i) disclose, duplicate, copy, transmit or otherwise disseminate in any manner whatsoever any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; (ii) use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (A) for the Receiving Party’s own benefit or the benefit of any third party, (B) to the Disclosing Party’s detriment or (C) for any purpose other than performance of the Disclosing Party’s obligations hereunder; (iii) commercially exploit any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or (iv) acquire any right in, or assert any lien against, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
(c) The Receiving Party may disclose relevant aspects of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the Receiving Party’s and its Affiliates’ officers, consultants, subcontractors, employees, attorneys and accountants to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the performance of the Receiving Party’s obligations under the Agreement; provided that:
(i) the Receiving Party shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is not disclosed or duplicated in contravention of the provisions of the Agreement by such officers, consultants, subcontractors, employees, attorneys and accountants;
(ii) the Receiving Party shall assume full responsibility for the acts or omissions of the parties receiving the Confidential Information from or through the Receiving Party; and
(iii) before disclosing any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, all such persons receiving Confidential Information shall (A) if not employees of the Receiving Party or otherwise legally bound by reason of their professional relationship with the Receiving Party, be subject to a written confidentiality agreement with the Receiving Party consistent with the terms of the Agreement, (B) have a need to know such Confidential Information for performance related to the Agreement and (C) have been informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information.
(d) The obligation to treat information as Confidential Information as provided by this Section 2.2 (General Confidentiality Obligations) shall not apply to information that (i) is publicly available through no action of the Receiving Party in violation of the Agreement, (ii) was in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party, (iii) the Receiving Party can demonstrate to have been developed by the Receiving Party independently and without reference to any Confidential Information that the Disclosing Party has disclosed to the Receiving Party or (iv) was obtained by the
3
Receiving Party from third parties not known to the Receiving Party to be bound by an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party.
(e) Upon termination of this Agreement or any applicable Annex(s), pursuant to which the Confidential Information was disclosed, or upon the Disclosing Party’s earlier request, the Receiving Party and its subcontractors shall promptly give over to the Disclosing Party, all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information then in the Receiving Party’s or its subcontractors’ possession. The Receiving Party and its subcontractors shall retain no part or copy of any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and, if requested in writing, shall certify their respective compliance with the foregoing provision.
(f) The Receiving Party acknowledges that its obligations under the Agreement with regard to (i) trade secrets of the Disclosing Party shall remain in effect for as long as such information shall remain a trade secret under applicable law, and (ii) all other Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party shall remain in effect for a period of ** (**) years after the expiration or earlier termination of the applicable Annex(s) to which such other Confidential Information pertains.
(g) The Receiving Party acknowledges the competitive value and confidential nature of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and that disclosure thereof to any third party could be harmful to the Disclosing Party, competitively and otherwise. If the Receiving Party, or any party to whom the Receiving Party transmits the Confidential Information pursuant to the Agreement, becomes legally compelled to disclose any of the Confidential Information, then the Receiving Party, to the extent permitted by law, shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking reasonable protective arrangements. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, then the Receiving Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that, in the written opinion of its counsel, is legally required, and the Receiving Party shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to the Confidential Information. JPMC may disclose Visa's Confidential Information to any bank regulatory authority having jurisdiction over JPMC and requiring such Confidential Information without providing prior Notice to Visa.
(h) The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that, given the nature of the Confidential Information and the damage that may result to the Disclosing Party if information contained therein is disclosed to any third party in breach of the obligations set forth in the Agreement, money damages might not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the Agreement by the Receiving Party, and that, in addition to all other remedies, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as deemed proper or necessary by a court of competent jurisdiction as a remedy for any such breach.
2.3. Unauthorized Acts. In the event of any unauthorized possession, use, knowledge, disclosure or attempt thereof with respect to any Confidential Information, or loss of, or inability to account for such Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall to the extent permitted by law: (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party; (b) promptly furnish to the Disclosing Party full details thereof, and use reasonable efforts to assist the Disclosing Party in investigating such event; (c) reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any litigation and investigation against third parties deemed necessary by the Disclosing Party to protect its proprietary rights in the Confidential Information; and (d) promptly use all reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of the unauthorized act or attempt. JPMC and Visa, shall each

4.3. | Indemnification Procedures. |
(a) If a notice of commencement or threatened commencement of a claim or cause of action is received by a Party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (“Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to give Notice thereof (“Indemnification Notice”) to the Party that is obligated to provide indemnification (“Indemnifying Party”) promptly, but no later than thirty (30) business days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the notice of commencement or threatened commencement of the claim or cause of action, but in any event no less than fifteen (15) business days before the date on which a response or summons in connection therewith is due. The Indemnified Party’s failure to provide the Indemnification Notice within the time frame as provided herein shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party was materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.
(b) Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Notice, but in no event later than ten (10) calendar days before the date on which a response to a complaint or summons in connection therewith is due (as such date may be extended by agreement between the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party and counsel for the plaintiff), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party, in writing, if the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its indemnification obligations and elects to assume control of the defense and settlement of such claim or cause of action (“Election Notice”). If the Indemnifying Party delivers an Election Notice within the required time period, then the Indemnifying Party shall immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such claim or cause of action and select and engage counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the claim or the cause of action, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver an Election Notice within the required time period, or delivers an Election Notice within the required time period but does not promptly take control of the defense and investigation of such claim or cause of action and select and engage counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the claim or cause of action within thirty (30) calendar days but no less than ten (10) calendar days before the date on which a response to a complaint or summons in connection therewith is due, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the Loss in such manner as it may deem appropriate, and if the Loss is one for which the Indemnifying Party is liable under this Agreement, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (including payment of any judgment or award and the costs of settlement or compromise of the claim or cause of action), and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for all such costs and expenses,
6
including payment of any judgment or award and the costs of settlement or compromise of the claim or the cause of action, all up to any limit on that liability under this Agreement.
(c) The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the investigation, trial and defense of such claim or cause of action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate, through the Indemnified Party’s own counsel or otherwise, in the investigation, trial and defense of such claim or cause of action; and any appeal arising therefrom.
(d) The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim or cause of action for which indemnity may be sought hereunder, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent. The Indemnified Party agrees to not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to any such proposed settlement; provided that (i) such proposed settlement does not involve a remedy other than the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party; (ii) all plaintiffs or claimants agree to release unconditionally the Indemnified Party from any responsibility or liability with respect to the subject matter thereof and any related facts or circumstances; and (iii) the proposed settlement does not result in any harm to the Indemnified Party’s reputation.

8.2. Assignment, Binding Effect. The Agreement will be binding on the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may, or shall have the power to, assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, except that:
(a) Unless otherwise provided in a Schedule, JPMC may assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement without the approval of Visa to: (i) an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of JPMC provided that that entity is or becomes a Member of Visa, or is eligible under the Rules to assume the rights and obligations of JPMC under the Agreement without becoming a Member and has assumed all of the business of JPMC covered under this Agreement prior to such assignment, and further provided, however, that in no event shall such assignment relieve the assigning Party of its obligations under the Agreement; or (ii) to any subsidiary or Affiliate, or successor in a merger or acquisition involving JPMC, provided that that entity is or becomes a Member of Visa, or is eligible under the Rules to assume the rights and obligations of JPMC under the Agreement without becoming a Member and has assumed all of the business of JPMC covered under this Agreement prior to such assignment, and further provided, however, that in no event shall such assignment relieve the assigning Party of its obligations under the Agreement.
(b) Each Party may assign to an Affiliate of such Party, without the prior approval of the other Party; provided that in the case of an assignment to the Affiliate of JPMC, that entity is or becomes a Member of Visa, or is eligible under the Rules to assume the rights and obligations of JPMC under the Agreement without becoming a Member, and has assumed all of the business of JPMC covered under this Agreement prior to such assignment, and further provided, however, that in no event shall such assignment relieve the assigning Party of its obligations under the Agreement.
8.3. Waiver. A waiver by either of the Parties hereto of any breach by the other Party of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement or the acquiescence of either Party hereto in any act
** |
Omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request. The confidential portion has been filed separately with the SEC. |
11
(whether commission or omission) which but for such acquiescence would be a breach as aforesaid, shall not constitute a general waiver of such term, provision or condition of any subsequent act contrary thereto.
8.4. Entire Agreement; Amendments. Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, the Agreement represents the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter, and there are no other representations, understandings or agreements between the Parties relative to such subject matter. No amendment to, or change, waiver or discharge of, any provision of the Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of both Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, JPMC agrees that the Rules contain terms and conditions governing usage of multiple products and services provided by Visa that are not specifically addressed in the Agreement, and that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to supersede or modify the Rules.
8.5. Publicity. Visa shall not furnish the name, trademark or proprietary indicia of JPMorgan Chase & Co., or any Affiliate thereof (including JPMC) as a reference, or utilize the name, trademark or proprietary indicia of JPMorgan Chase & Co. or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (including JPMC) in any advertising, announcements, press releases or other promotional materials including testimonials, quotations, case studies, and other endorsements. No exceptions are granted without the prior written consent of Brand Administration Group, Marketing and Communications, of JPMorgan Chase & Co., such consent to be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
8.6. Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction hereof declares any provision invalid, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, so that the remainder of that provision and all remaining provisions of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect, unless the result of invalidity of that particular provision materially alters the obligations of a Party. If the provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable is an essential part of this Agreement, than the Parties shall promptly negotiate to replace the invalid or unenforceable provisions with provisions consistent with the original intent of the Parties.
8.7. Counterparts. The Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute the same instrument.
8.8. Force Majeure. To the extent that either Party's performance of any of its obligations pursuant to the Agreement is prevented, hindered or delayed, directly or indirectly, by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, third party strikes, third party lockouts or third party labor difficulties or any other cause beyond the reasonable control or anticipation of a Party, except for Subcontractor defaults which do not result from such events (a “Force Majeure Event”), and such non-performance could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions, then the non-performing Party shall be excused from any further performance of those obligations. The non-performing Party shall only be excused for so long as such Force Majeure Event continues and such Party continues to use its best efforts (or cause its subcontractor to use best efforts) to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay, including through the use of alternate sources, work around plans or other means. The Party whose performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by a Force Majeure Event shall immediately notify the other Party by telephone of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event and describe the Force Majeure Event in reasonable detail (to be confirmed in writing within two days of the inception of such delay). If any Force Majeure Event prevents or restricts Visa's performance under this Agreement and Visa does not within three (3) consecutive days recommence performance, JPMC may, upon Notice to Visa, terminate
12
the Agreement. The occurrence of a Force Majeure Event does not limit or otherwise affect Visa's obligation to provide either normal recovery procedures or any other disaster recovery services required pursuant to any change control procedures it has implemented. In responding to a Force Majeure event, Visa shall give first priority to restoring core operations utilized by Members to operate or support their Visa programs. Once this has been accomplished and Visa needs to allocate limited resources between or among Visa's customers to restore non-core services, **. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Visa will not be excused from performance under this provision to the extent that compliance with Visa’s plan would reasonably be expected to avoid any such nonperformance. Visa shall not have the right to any additional payments from JPMC for any Products during the period when such Products were discontinued or delayed as a result of an Force Majeure Event, other than payments accrued prior to such Force Majeure Event and payments otherwise due for Products actually provided pursuant to the terms herein.
8.9. Dispute Resolution.
(a) All disputes arising under or relating to the Agreement shall be referred to a Visa Senior Manager and a representative of JPMC designated by JPMC prior to the escalation of such dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within three (3) days after such referral, the Parties shall immediately escalate the dispute pursuant to Paragraph (b) below.
(b) Immediately upon receipt of the Notice of the dispute, the Relationship Manager shall work to resolve the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within five (5) days after such referral, the Parties shall immediately escalate the dispute to the President of Visa and a senior executive of JPMC. If the dispute is not resolved within three (3) days after such referral, the Parties shall immediately submit the dispute for negotiation pursuant to Subsection 8.9(c) below.
(c) Immediately upon receipt of the Notice of the dispute, the Parties’ designated representatives shall meet (including by teleconference) for the purpose of resolving the dispute by negotiation in good faith. Upon the conclusion of the negotiation, the Parties’ designated representatives will produce a joint written recommendation, including actions to be taken with respect to any issues not agreed upon or remaining unresolved. The Parties agree to be bound by any such joint written recommendation.

Visa shall respond within a reasonable period of time to any proposal from JPMC and at Visa’s expense, deliver to JPMC a written document (a “Change Order Proposal”), indicating: (A) the effect of the proposal, if any, on (1) the amounts payable by JPMC under the applicable Schedule and (2) Visa’s performance of its obligations thereunder, (B) the anticipated time required for implementation of such New Services or changes and/or delivery of the Work Product, (C) the New Services or changes that Visa anticipates performing, (D) roles/functions of Visa Personnel and upon JPMC’s request, Subcontractors, if any, that may be necessary, (E) any new Service Levels and/or necessary modifications to any existing Service Levels and (F) any other information requested in the proposal or reasonably necessary for JPMC to make an informed decision regarding the New Services or changes.

Materials,” “Type V Materials” or “Type VI Materials,” (the foregoing a “Type”) or otherwise as both Parties agree. If a Type is inadvertently not specified in the Schedule, the Parties will negotiate in good faith that Schedule when the oversight is discovered to assign a reasonable and mutually agreeable Type for the Work Product developed under that Schedule.

Visa will deliver one copy of the Type II Materials to JPMC.

(c) Type III Materials. JPMC will have all right, title, and interest (including but not limited to ownership of Intellectual Property rights) in and to Type III Materials. Visa will retain one copy of the Type III Materials. JPMC grants to Visa (i) an irrevocable, perpetual, nonexclusive, worldwide, paid-up, royalty free license to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, export, sublicense and distribute (internally and externally) copies of, and prepare derivative works based on, Type III Materials and (ii) the right to authorize others to do any of the foregoing.
(d) Type IV Materials. JPMC will have all right, title, and interest (including but not limited to ownership of patent rights and copyright) in and to Type IV Materials. Visa will retain one copy of the Type IV Materials. JPMC grants to Visa (i) an irrevocable, perpetual, exclusive (as to everyone but JPMC), worldwide, paid-up, royalty free license to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, import, sublicense, distribute (internally and externally) copies of, and prepare derivative works based on, Type IV Materials and (ii) the right to authorize others to do any of the foregoing.
(e) Type V Materials. Visa will have all right, title, and interest (including but not limited to ownership of Intellectual Property rights) in and to Type V Materials.

import, sublicense, distribute (internally and externally) copies of, and prepare derivative works based on, Type IV Materials and (ii) the right to authorize others to do any of the foregoing.
5.3. Works-Made-For-Hire. All Type I Materials, Type III Materials and Type IV Materials shall be considered a “work-made-for-hire” to the extent permissible under applicable law and are otherwise hereby irrevocably assigned to JPMC without further charge or cost, subject to Visa’s rights in Type III Materials and Type IV Materials above. Type II Materials, Type V Materials and Type VI Materials will not be considered “work-made-for-hire.” Each Party will prepare and execute such applications, assignments and other instruments and provide such cooperation reasonably requested by the other Party to give full effect to the provisions of this paragraph.
5.4. **
5.5. Acceptance Testing.
(a) Visa will notify JPMC when a specific Work Product is ready for acceptance testing by JPMC (“Acceptance Testing”). JPMC will also perform iterative Acceptance Testing in connection with Visa’s phased releases of various components of the Work Product. Final Acceptance Testing will not be conducted until completion of all Work Product pursuant to the applicable Schedule.
(b) Final Acceptance Testing will be based upon testing procedures sufficient to demonstrate that the Work Product, as modified or expanded by the Services and pursuant to the member implementation guide (located at xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx), to the extent applicable: (i) contains the functionality of, and performs substantially in conformance with, all specifications and other objective requirements as may be described in an applicable Collateral Document including all Service Levels, (ii) will perform at acceptable levels, and (iii) will successfully complete a simulated “day’s processing” in a two-day period.
(c) The Acceptance Testing procedures will be determined by mutual written agreement of the Parties before Visa commences “live processing,” provided that Acceptance Testing procedures shall continue after “live processing” commences as appropriate to verify that the Work Product and Services meet all applicable requirements in a full production mode. In the event that Visa reasonably believes that the Work Product is not suitable for such commencement, Visa shall provide JPMC with a written explanation of its concerns and the Parties shall agree upon an alternate plan and timeframe for completing Acceptance Testing. In the event that the Parties do not agree on such alternate plan and timeframe, JPMC may commence Acceptance Testing in a “live processing” environment, and Visa shall be relieved of any damages under the Agreement with respect to the specific Work Product to the extent that such damages are related to such “live processing”.
(d) Only after the Work Product and Services meet all Acceptance Testing requirements will they be deemed accepted. If the Work Product or Services fail to meet all Acceptance Testing requirements, Visa will promptly correct the deficiencies identified by the Acceptance Testing and the applicable Acceptance Testing will then be re-performed. If JPMC determines that Visa failed to correct the deficiencies within a reasonable time, using best efforts, or as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing (“Cure Period”), JPMC may, at its option, do one of the following by notifying Visa: (i) extend the Cure

7
Period to allow Visa the opportunity to correct the Acceptance Criteria non-conformities and re-perform Acceptance Testing in accordance with the procedure set forth above, (ii) accept the Work Product and/or Services, as the case may be, and negotiate for lesser performance or (iii) terminate the applicable Schedule (in whole or in part) on Notice to Visa, and return the Work Product and related materials to Visa, in which event Visa shall promptly refund to JPMC all fees that were paid under the terminated Schedule, or portion of any fee attributable to the terminated portion thereof, as the case may be.
5.6. Consents.
(a) All consents or approvals necessary to allow Visa and any Subcontractor to use any of the following to provide the Services: (i) Intellectual Property that was, is or shall be, developed by or for JPMC, including the Work Product (“JPMC Intellectual Property”), and (ii) services provided for the benefit of JPMC under JPMC’s Third Party Services contracts (“JPMC Consents“) shall be obtained by JPMC at JPMC’s sole cost and expense with Visa’s cooperation.
(b) If any JPMC Consent is not obtained, then, unless and until such JPMC Consent is obtained, Visa shall use reasonable commercial efforts to determine and adopt, subject to the prior written approval of JPMC, such alternative approaches as are necessary and sufficient to provide the Services without such JPMC Consents, provided that any such work shall be pursuant to a JPMC approved Change Order Proposal pursuant to Section 2.4.
(c) All consents, licenses, permits, authorizations or approvals of Visa (i) necessary to allow JPMC to use throughout an applicable Annex(s) Term all (A) third party services retained by Visa or any Subcontractor in order to provide the Services and (B) third party Intellectual Property necessary to provide the Services, or (ii) required by legislative enactment and regulations applicable to Visa that are legally required to be obtained in connection with the performance of the Services (“Visa Consents”) shall be obtained by Visa at Visa’s sole cost and expense with JPMC's cooperation, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Visa from recovering any such expense as part of its pricing for the Services in its normal course of business.
6. Payments.
6.1. Fees. JPMC or the JPMC Affiliate, which executed the Schedule, shall be solely responsible to pay to Visa or the Visa Affiliate providing Services any fees or charges due to Visa set forth in an applicable Schedule. Visa or the Visa Affiliate providing Services shall be solely responsible to pay to JPMC or the JPMC Affiliate, which executed the Schedule, any fees or charges due to JPMC set forth in an applicable Schedule. Any fees related to the Services will be calculated as set forth in each applicable Schedule, except that in the event fees are not set forth in a Schedule, such fees will be calculated in accordance with the Rules.
6.2. Payment Schedule and Invoices. Except for any amounts that are disputed by a Party or as otherwise provided in an applicable Schedule or the Rules (including timing of payments and delivery of invoices), invoices shall be due and payable within sixty (60) days after receipt of a correct invoice at the xxxx-to-address set forth in an applicable Schedule. JPMC or the applicable JPMC Affiliate shall have the right to set-off against amounts owed by such entity under the Agreement, any undisputed amount Visa is obligated to pay or credit JPMC under an applicable Schedule, except that JPMC shall have no right to set-off any such obligations of Visa against JPMC’s settlement obligations for payment transactions under the Rules.
6.3. Pass–Through Expenses. Visa shall promptly provide JPMC with the original third party invoice for any expenses paid directly by JPMC to a third party service provider, or expenses incurred by
8
Visa specifically on behalf of JPMC and reimbursed by JPMC to Visa at actual cost (“Pass–Through Expense”), if a separate invoice for JPMC is received by Visa, for such expenses together with a statement that Visa has reviewed the invoiced charges and made a determination of which charges are proper and valid and should be paid by JPMC.
7. Taxes
7.1. Responsibility for Paying Taxes; Generally
(a)(i) Visa shall be responsible for any sales, service, value-added, use, excise, consumption, and any other taxes and duties on the goods or services it purchases, consumes or uses in providing the Services, including taxes imposed on Visa’s acquisition or use of such goods or services and the amount of tax is measured by Visa’s costs in acquiring such goods or services.
(ii) Unless JPMC provides Visa with a valid and applicable exemption certificate or as otherwise provided in this Section, JPMC will be responsible for sales, use, excise, services, consumption and other taxes or duties (excluding value added tax) that are assessed on the provision of the Services and for which Visa invoices JPMC before the expiration of the applicable JPMC statutory period for assessment of deficiencies. Visa agrees to indemnify JPMC for any penalties and interest arising from Visa’s failure to collect or remit such tax.
(iii) Except when separately identified by Schedule or as otherwise provided in this Section, JPMC will be responsible for value-added taxes that are assessed on the provision of the Services (including the reimbursement of expenses), any particular goods provided to JPMC by Visa, its Affiliates or subcontractors, or the charges for such goods or Services. If a value added tax is later assessed against Visa due to a change in law or otherwise, on the provision of the Services, however levied or assessed, except for assessments levied against the Visa for administrative errors by the Visa (e.g. incorrect calculation of the quantum of VAT due), to the extent Visa may not recover or obtain a credit for such tax, both Parties will negotiate in good faith and agree on a commercial resolution to this issue to their mutual satisfaction. Failing an agreement between the Parties on such adjustment, JPMC reserves the right to terminate the affected Schedules in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Master Agreement (Termination for Convenience).
(iv) When Services are specifically identified in the Schedule as being subject to value-added taxes, Visa will be responsible for levying such taxes on the provision of the Services and JPMC will be responsible for paying those taxes in addition to the consideration payable.
(v) Any taxes assessed, as determined by JPMC, on the provision of the Services resulting from Visa relocating or rerouting the delivery of Services for Visa's convenience to, from or through a location other than the location approved by JPMC as of the effective date of the applicable Schedule, shall be paid by JPMC and JPMC shall receive a credit with respect to the fees invoiced thereunder equal to the payments made pursuant to this Subsection 7.1(a)(v).
(b) JPMC may deduct withholding taxes, if any, from payments to Visa where required under applicable law. JPMC shall, at Visa's written request, provide Visa with appropriate receipts for any taxes so withheld to the extent that JPMC has received such receipts from the applicable taxing authority.
(c) Each of JPMC and Visa (for itself and its subcontractors) shall bear sole responsibility for all taxes, assessments and other real property related levies on its owned or leased real property, personal property (including software), franchise and privilege taxes on its business, and taxes based on its net income or gross receipts. Visa’s employees shall not be considered employees of JPMC by
9
reason of their provision of Services under this contract and Visa shall bear sole responsibility for all payroll and employment taxes relating to its employees.
7.2. Segregation of Fees JPMC and Visa shall cooperate to segregate the fees payable hereunder into the following separate payment streams: (a) those for taxable Services; (b) those for nontaxable Services; (c) those for exempt Services, (d) those for which a sales, use or other similar tax has already been paid; and (e) those for which Visa functions merely as a paying agent for JPMC in receiving goods, supplies or services (including leasing and licensing arrangements) that otherwise are nontaxable or have previously been subject to tax. Visa shall state separately on its invoices the portion of fees which are subject to any sales, use, excise, value-added, services, consumption or other taxes due during the term of an applicable Schedule in connection with the provision of the Services, and the amounts of any taxes Visa is collecting from JPMC.
7.3. Cooperation JPMC and Visa shall reasonably cooperate to more accurately determine each Party's tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible. Where required JPMC and Visa shall provide and make available to the other party any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state sales or use of equipment, materials or services, and other certificates or information reasonably requested by such other party. Some Services delivered to certain JPMC locations are exempt from sales and use taxes. JPMC will provide Visa with the documentation applicable to tax exempt transactions. Specifically, for certain Services delivered to certain JPMC locations described in a letter from the New York City Industrial Development Agency (“XXX”), dated February 7, 2003, a copy of which has been delivered to Visa, JPMC shall be deemed to have ordered such services in its own name as agent for the XXX for the purposes of qualifying for exemption from New York State and New York City sales and use taxes.
7.4. Assessment for Tax Deficiency. If either Party is assessed a deficiency for taxes payable by the other Party pursuant to the Agreement, the assessed Party will promptly notify the other Party of such assessment and will administratively contest such assessment to the extent it is timely requested or authorized to do so by the other Party. The other Party will be given a reasonable opportunity to participate in any such administrative contest and to review prior to submission the terms of any communication the assessed Party undertakes as part of such administrative contest. The assessed Party will not agree the amount of any such assessment without the approval of the other Party, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. The other Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the assessed Party from any such tax deficiency. Penalties and interest, if any, associated with such deficiency shall be the responsibility of (i) assessed Party where such deficiency resulted from a failure of the assessed Party to properly invoice the other Party. The other Party shall reimburse the assessed Party for all accounting and attorneys' fees and expenses reasonably incurred in contesting such assessment at the request or upon the authorization of the other Party; provided, however, that the assessed Party shall not be required to contest any such assessment unless requested or authorized to do so by the other Party, and payment by the assessed Party of an assessed deficiency which it was not timely requested or authorized by the other Party to contest, said assessment having been promptly advised to the other Party, will be deemed a payment which the assessed Party was required to pay to the appropriate government entity.
8. Audits
8.1. General Audit.
(a) Upon Notice from JPMC, Visa shall provide JPMC's auditors (internal and external to JPMC) and inspectors or any Regulator with annual and/or quarterly audited financial statements and its
10
annual SAS 70 Type II Report. Material exceptions on the SAS 70 Type II Report are reported to the Visa USA Board of Directors Audit Committee. Visa Corporate Risk routinely addresses and clears all exception items noted in the SAS 70 Type II Report. JPMC may provide additional suggestions or recommendations based on the SAS 70 Type II Report, and Visa will consider them.
8.2. **
8.3. Record Retention. As part of the Services, Visa shall (a) retain records and supporting documentation sufficient to document the Services and the fees paid or payable by JPMC under this Services Agreement, during the Services Term and for no less than **, provided that any records relating to settlement shall be maintained only for **, and (b) upon Notice from JPMC, provide JPMC and its Regulators with reasonable access to such records and documentation as they pertain only to Services provided to or fees paid by JPMC.
9. Term and End of Term Assistance.
9.1. Term. The Services Agreement is effective from the Services Agreement Effective Date set forth above until terminated in accordance with the Master Agreement. (“Services Term”).
9.2. End of Term Assistance Services.
(a) End of Term Assistance Services means (i) the Services which were provided by Visa immediately prior to the expiration or termination of an applicable Services Term as set forth in an applicable Schedule to the extent JPMC requests that such Services be provided from such expiration or termination and is otherwise entitled to receive these Services under the Rules, (ii) any New Services requested by JPMC and agreed to by Visa and set forth in an applicable Schedule in order to facilitate the transfer of the Services to JPMC or another service provider designated by JPMC, and (iii) Visa, (A) assisting JPMC in the development of a transition plan in connection therewith, (B) making available reasonably necessary project personnel and resources to facilitate the transition, (C) providing such reasonable End of Term Assistance Services as are necessary to successfully complete such transition, (D) providing training, documentation and other materials reasonably necessary to enable JPMC or its designee to assume responsibility for the Services, (E) delivering to each of JPMC and its designees the most current copies of any Work Product consistent with any rights of JPMC in that Work Product, and (F) making available to JPMC and its designees, if reasonably commercially possible and at a rate to be negotiated by the Parties, any third party services and systems then being utilized by Visa in the performance of the Services, subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable third party agreements.
(b) During the twelve months after the expiration or earlier termination of the Services Agreement, (“End of Term Assistance Period”), at JPMC’s written request, Visa will provide JPMC or its

11
designee (provided JPMC has the authority to designate such third party to receive Services under the Rules) with End of Term Assistance Services in accordance with an applicable Schedule. The quality and level of such Services shall not be degraded during the End of Term Assistance Period, provided that JPMC complies with its obligations under the Agreement. If the original Schedule did not provide for such Services, then JPMC and Visa shall execute a new Schedule, which shall describe the End of Term Assistance Services. After the expiration of the End of Term Assistance Services Period, Visa shall deliver to JPMC, as applicable, any remaining JPMC Confidential Information still in Visa's possession in connection with the applicable Schedule. During the Services Term, Visa shall provide JPMC with information in Visa’s possession related to the Services that JPMC reasonably requests to enable JPMC to draft a request for proposal(s) (“RFP”) relating to a portion or all the Services. Visa may or may not be a recipient of such RFP. In the event that Visa elects not to provide requested information, Visa will provide a detailed listing of the type of withheld information and an explanation of the basis for its refusal to provide such information. Any disclosure of information by Visa to JPMC under this Section 9.2(b) shall be treated as Confidential Information of Visa under Section 2 of the Master Agreement.
9.3. End of Term Assistance Services Fees. JPMC shall pay to Visa, fees for End of Term Assistance Services pursuant to the applicable Schedule, or if none is listed in an applicable Schedule, then at Visa’s then current standard time and materials fees for such Services. To the extent possible, Visa shall minimize any fees for End of Term Assistance Services by utilizing resources included in the fees already paid by JPMC to Visa, or being paid by JPMC to Visa after such expiration or termination, to provide the End of Term Assistance Services.
10. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Visa hereby agrees to provide back up, business continuity and disaster recovery services (“Continuity Services”) that would enable JPMC to continue enjoyment of the Services in accordance with Visa’s business continuity and disaster recovery plan as set forth in the document entitled: “Technical Recovery Plans: OCE Failure” (“BC/DR Plan”). This BC/DR Plan has been provided to JPMC. JPMC will review the BC/DR Plan within 180 days of the effective date of the first Schedule under this Services Agreement. Visa agrees to discuss in good faith any changes to the BC/DR Plan recommended by JPMC (and implement such discussed and agreed upon changes to the benefit of the general Visa Membership). If Visa does not provide the Continuity Services in accordance with the BC/DR Plan, it will be considered a material breach of the Agreement and JPMC may terminate one or more Annex(es) or Collateral Document(s) (in whole or in part), pursuant to Section 6.3 (Termination for Cause) of the Master Agreement.
11. Services Covenants.
In addition to any other covenants given by Visa, Visa covenants that: (a) Visa shall provide the Services (i) in a professional and workmanlike manner, (ii) with reasonable care and skill, (iii) with superior customer and technical support in accordance with the standards herein and in any Schedule, (iv) in accordance with the specifications and any Services Timetable in any Schedule, (v) at a minimum, in accordance with any Service Levels and (vi) in accordance with any relevant third party service provider’s, license, documentation and recommendations; (b) ** (c) all reports and tax returns (including employment and withholding taxes) of Visa and each Subcontractor required, as a result of the Agreement, to be filed under Federal, state, local and foreign laws, shall be filed on a timely basis, and Visa, and each Subcontractor, unless contesting such in good faith, shall promptly pay all governmental taxes, assessments, fees and other charges lawfully levied upon or assessed against it; and (c) unless

6.5.6. If the Parties shall have failed to reach agreement on (i) the reasonableness of a request by Visa for access to supporting information and/or records pursuant to Section 6.5.2 or (ii) the amounts of the ** Incentive Payment and the ** Incentive pursuant to Section 6.5.4, then the Parties shall submit to an independent accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution any and all matters which remain in dispute and which, in the case of a dispute referred to in clause (ii) above, were included in the Notice of Disagreement. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be a nationally recognized accounting firm that is not presently engaged, and was not engaged during the relevant Program Year, as the principal auditors of JPMC or Visa.

This Amendment No. Two (“Amendment”) to the Schedule One by and between JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMC”) and Visa U.S.A. Inc. (“Visa”) dated January 1, 2005 (“Schedule One”) is made and entered into as of August 11, 2006 (“Amendment Effective Date”) by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, (“JPMC”), with an office located at 270 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000 - 2070 and Visa U.S.A. Inc. located at ** (“Visa”).
WHEREAS, JPMC and Visa have entered into the Schedule One and Amended Schedule One effective March 31, 2005; and
WHEREAS, JPMC and Visa now wish to further amend the Schedule One as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the promises, terms and conditions set forth below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows.
1. | Service Description |
Bankruptcy Information Service (BIS)
BIS provides to JPMC information that the JPMC can use to code its accounts as subject to a bankruptcy filing. For purposes of this Section, the term “account” refers to Visa cardholders, cardholders of non-Visa cards, and customers of other Visa and non-Visa products with respect to which JPMC uses BIS. BIS also notifies JPMC of the following status change updates to these bankruptcy filings: dismissal, discharge, and conversion. In addition, if Section 341(a) date or trustee information was not available at the time of filing, this information will be provided to JPMC through a similar update process when it becomes available. BIS information is often provided to the JPMC before its receipt of the traditional paper notices mailed to JPMC by the federal bankruptcy courts.
Through BIS, bankruptcy data is retrieved directly from each of the federal bankruptcy courts on a daily basis. A proprietary process is then used to append the full Social Security number to the associated bankruptcy filing. For each new bankruptcy filing, BIS also uses a third party credit bureau to match and identify the account numbers of the bankruptcy filer. BIS uses these account numbers to notify JPMC which are impacted by the bankruptcy filing or bankruptcy status change.
BIS is provided through Advanced Resolution Services, Inc., a wholly-owned consumer credit bureau subsidiary of Visa (“ARS”).
Bankruptcy data is uploaded to the BIS system and best efforts are undertaken to provide this data to the JPMC five (5) times per week, Tuesday through Saturday.

Xx xddition, an enhanced feature within BIS provides to JPMC certain customization, management, and maintenance of record layouts for the delivery of bankruptcy data to JPMC from the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC). JPMC may choose among various delivery options offering pre-defined and customized record layouts to deliver merged public record and party in interest bankruptcy data to JPMC. As part of this enhanced feature of BIS, ARS will work with the individual bankruptcy courts to arrange delivery of their electronic data feeds, including to create, prepare and maintain on an ongoing basis the list of addresses for which JPMC as a party in interest is to receive bankruptcy notices. ARS will conduct parallel testing, during which ARS will deliver bankruptcy data files while JPMC tests to implement its bankruptcy processing system to receive this BIS data. Upon completion of parallel testing, JPMC has the option of instructing ARS to arrange with the bankruptcy courts to “turn-off” the delivery of paper notifications otherwise received by the Bankruptcy Noticing Center and delivered to JPMC through BIS. To utilize this enhancement, JPMC must designate ARS as JPMC’s authorized agent on the BNC Trading Partner Agreement and potentially other bankruptcy documents.
BIS is governed by and JPMC’s use of BIS is subject to, in addition to this Amendment, the Visa U.S.A. Inc. Bylaws and Operating Regulations, other documentation concerning BIS provided by or available from Visa, and applicable law, including without limitation the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, each as may be amended from time to time.
Visa will supply to JPMC a calendar 30 days prior to the start of each calendar year noting which days that there will be no service due to holidays.
