9.Conversion Milestone Thresholds.
(a)The Transition Plan shall include a number of mutually agreed milestones prior to the Conversion for which the parties shall formally measure their progress toward the Conversion (each, a “Milestone” and further described in the Transition Plan), including seven (7) key Milestones: (i) Mock Conversion 1, (ii) Mock Conversion 2, (iii) Company Integration Testing, (iv) Bank Integration Testing, (v) Production Proofing, (vi) New Account Origination and Processing, and (vii) Dress Rehearsal (each of such seven (7) Milestones, a “Key Milestone Threshold” and further described in the Transition Plan). The performance of each Key Milestone Threshold will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis as to whether performance of such Key Milestone Threshold meets the applicable success criteria adopted by the Conversion Committee as part of the Transition Plan (the “Success Criteria”).
(b)Workstream Status.
(i)In connection with its development and adoption of the Transition Plan, the Conversion Committee shall establish criteria for each of three (3) status categories—“On Track”, “At Risk”, and “Off Track”—for the Conversion Committee to use to monitor and determine the status of each Milestone workstream described under the Transition Plan (such criteria, the “Committee Criteria”, and such status, the “Committee Status”). At each meeting, the Conversion Committee shall mutually determine the Committee Status of each Milestone workstream under the Transition Plan using the Committee Criteria, as well as the actual and projected performance of the parties in meeting the various Milestones, including the Key Milestones Thresholds, under the Transition Plan consistent with the timelines set forth therein. In the event of (x) any dispute regarding the Committee Status of any Milestone, (y) any Milestone being determined to be “Off Track” or (z) any Milestone being determined to be “At Risk,” solely if either party identifies such Milestone as posing a material risk to any Key Milestone Threshold, such impacted Milestone(s) shall be included in the Executive Committee review under Section 9(b)(iii).
(ii)Without prejudice to the Conversion Committee’s determination of the Committee Status of any Milestone workstream, Bank independently shall monitor and determine the status of each Key Milestone Threshold workstream described under the Transition Plan using the Green/Yellow/Red Criteria set forth in Schedule C (such status, the “Bank Status”). At each Conversion Committee meeting, Bank shall report to the Conversion
9
Committee the Bank Status of each Key Milestone Threshold workstream. If Company notifies Bank in writing of its good faith concern, articulated with reasonable specificity and supported by reasonable documentation, that the Bank Status of one or more Key Milestone Threshold workstreams should be (but has not been reflected by Bank as) “Red,” Bank shall provide to Company the certification of Bank’s Head of Consumer Banking, TD Bank AMCB as to the Bank Status of each such Key Milestone Threshold workstream.
(iii)The Executive Committee shall meet approximately every other week, unless otherwise mutually agreed, for purposes of reviewing the status of Milestone workstreams and to discuss and attempt to resolve any dependencies, contingencies, and other variables affecting progress of, and readiness to timely complete, the Milestones and the Conversion. In the event that any dispute over the status of any Milestone is escalated to the Executive Committee pursuant to clause (x) Section 9(b)(i), the Executive Committee shall attempt to resolve such dispute at the meeting immediately following such escalation, and if not resolved such Milestone shall be classified as “At Risk”. Additionally, with respect to each “Off Track Milestone” and any “At Risk Milestones” that a party has elected to escalate pursuant to clause (y) or clause (z) of Section 9(b)(i), the Executive Committee shall review the underlying facts giving rise to such classification and any remediation activities contemplated by the Conversion Committee. If the Executive Committee determines that the activities, if any, proposed by the Conversion Committee are not adequate to prevent such Milestone issues from escalating to a material risk to any of the Key Milestone Thresholds (including if the Conversion Committee has not agreed on appropriate remediation activities) then the Conversion Committee shall be directed to revise such proposed remediation activities and provide an updated report to the Executive Committee by no later than its next scheduled meeting. The parties shall not be obligated to take minutes at such Executive Committee meetings.
(iv)Without limiting any terms of this Section 9 or Schedule 9, in the event the Committee Status of any Milestone workstream or the Bank Status of any Key Milestone Threshold workstream indicates risk to Company’s capacity to meet any Regulatory Service Level Standard, the Conversion Committee in good faith shall consider strategies and tactics to mitigate such risk, including modification of the Transition Plan.
(c)After the performance of each Key Milestone Threshold, Bank shall report to the Conversion Committee the performance of such Key Milestone Threshold against the applicable Success Criteria.
10
(d)If (i) performance of a Key Milestone Threshold does not meet the applicable Success Criteria, (ii) a Key Milestone Threshold does not occur within fourteen (14) days after the date planned for such Key Milestone Threshold as set forth in the Transition Plan, or (iii) the Bank Status of any Key Milestone Threshold workstream becomes “Red,” as determined by Bank based on the Green/Yellow/Red Criteria set forth in Schedule C (each a “Remediation Trigger”), then Bank (unless the Remediation Trigger is related to Company Integration, in which case Company) will develop and submit to the Conversion Committee within seven (7) days of the Remediation Trigger a plan designed to remediate the root causes of the Remediation Trigger (the “Remediation Plan”).
(e)The Conversion Committee shall meet to discuss the Remediation Plan within five (5) Business Days of submission, and if agreed, the parties shall comply with the Remediation Plan and cause their respective vendors to comply with the Remediation Plan. If the Remediation Plan is rejected by the Conversion Committee, the Conversion Committee shall designate one (1) member of the party that did not develop the Remediation Plan to work cooperatively and in good faith with the other party to revise the Remediation Plan to address the reasons for rejection of the Remediation Plan, and such revised Remediation Plan shall be re-presented at a meeting of the Conversion Committee within five (5) days of such rejection. If the Remediation Plan is again rejected by the Conversion Committee, review of the Remediation Plan shall be escalated to the Executive Committee.
(f)If the Executive Committee is unable to agree to a Remediation Plan within three (3) days of escalation pursuant to Section 9(e), and either party believes the Conversion Date should be delayed, such party may delay the Conversion Date by providing written notice of its determination to the other party no later than five (5) Business Days after the Executive Committee meeting to review the Remediation Plan. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such delay notice (or such shorter period if required in order to effectively delay the Conversion Date), the Executive Committee shall meet to mutually agree upon a new scheduled Conversion Date, which shall be no later than the Outside Conversion Date.
