DATA PROCESSING SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS DATA PROCESSING SERVICES AGREEMENT is made as of this 3rd day of
July, (the "Agreement") by and between M&I Data Services, a division of the
Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation ("M&I") and PremierBank &
Trust, an Ohio corporation, (the "Customer").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, M&I provides data processing services to customers located
across the country; and
WHEREAS, M&l desires to provide data processing services to Customer,
and Customer desires to have M&I provide it with such services.
NOW, ThEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and for the good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. SERVICES. M&I shall provide Customer with the data processing
services requested by Customer utilizing the version of the banking system
software made available from time to time by M&I through the M&I Service Bureau
(the "Services"). The functionality of the software and a further description of
the Services is set forth in the User ManuaIs, copies of which will be provided,
or made available, to Customer. Customer shall purchase the data processing
services indicated on Exhibit A and Exhibit A-I from M&I. Unless otherwise
agreed in writing between M&I and Customer, and subject to the other provisions
of the Agreement, M&I shall make the On-line Services available to Customer,
subject to normal downtime and maintenance, at times indicated on the M&I
On-line Availability Schedule, as modified from time to time.
2. FEES AND TAXES. Customer agrees to pay for the Services received
hereunder as follows:
a. AMOUNT OF FEES. Commencing on the Conversion Date (as defined in
Section 3) and on the first day of each month thereafter through the end of the
term of this Agreement, Customer shall pay M&I a fixed monthly fee of
forty-seven thousand four hundred sixty-three dollars ($47,463) per month (the
"Fixed Monthly Fee") for the Services described on Exhibit A (provided however,
commencing with the February 1997 invoice, and each month thereafter through
March 1998, M&I will provide Customer a credit of fifteen thousand dollars
($15,000) against Monthly Processing charges. For Services requested by Customer
in addition to those on Exhibit A, Customer shall pay in accordance with M&I's
then-current standard published prices. The Fixed Monthly Fee will be adjusted
in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit B. Customer also agrees to pay all
communication costs, telecommunication charges, printline charges and other
output costs. For Customer requested applications, not contemplated by this
Agreement, Customer shall preapprove and pay all start-up fees, pass-through
charges, out-of-pocket expenses, conversion expenses and fees, workshop fees,
training fees, as well as, late
1
2
fees or charges billed as miscellaneous on Customer's invoice (the
"Miscellaneous Fees"). The M&I standard published prices as of the date of this
Agreement are set forth on the fee schedule attached as Exhibit C.
b. DISCOUNT. M&I shall provide Customer with a ten percent (10%)discount
on Services not included in the Fixed Monthly Fee and which are a part of M&I's
19% standard published price list (exclusive of EFT Services, STAR View, and CFI
Laserpro Maintenance which shall not be discounted, and Management Data
Warehouse which shall be discounted in accordance with the special provisions
contained in Exhibit A4) excluding communication costs, telecommunication
charges, printline charges and other output costs, start-up fees, pass-through
charges, out-of-pocket expenses, conversion expenses and fees, workshop fees,
training fees, late fees, or charges billed as Miscellaneous on the Customer's
invoice. The discount shall be in effect for the term of the Agreement
c. PRICE ADJUSTMENTS. M&I standard published charges are set forth on
the fee schedule attached as Exhibit B. M&I may modify its standard published
charges for Services not included in the Fixed Monthly Fee from time to time
(the "Price Change Date"). M&I agrees to provide Customer with thirty (30) days'
written notice of any price increases prior to effectiveness of the price
increase. During each twelve (12) month period ending on the Price Change Date
(or such shorter period from the date this Agreement becomes effective to the
first Price Change Date), Customer shall receive a credit if the increase in the
standard published charges used to compute Customer's invoice causes a total
increase of more than the lesser of five percent (5%) or the increase in the
Consumer Price Index (CH, all items-U), as published by the U.S. Department of
Labor or any successor index (based on comparing the same mix of volume and
services, as described below). The Services and associated volumes (excluding
any credits or Miscellaneous Fees) on the three (3) most recent Customers'
invoices preceding the announcement of any price adjustment shall be used to
calculate the percentage change (the "Adjustment Period"). If during the first
year of this Agreement, three (3) invoices are not available, the volumes
processed during the prior month, or to be processed during the current month,
if the conversion occurs during the month prior to the Price Change Date, shall
be used to compute the percentage change. If the net increase exceeds the annual
ceiling, the dollar difference will be credited to the Customer on each month's
invoice (the "Price Adjustment Credit"). For example, if the price increase is
announced in January, M&I will apply the increased prices to the volumes and
Services invoiced to Customer during the months of October, November, and
December. The total of the three (3) months, computed based on the actual
invoices and recomputed using the increased prices, is then compared. The amount
by which the difference exceeds the annual ceiling is divided by three; the
result is the Price Adjustment Credit to be applied against Customer's invoice
until the next price increase. If, for example, the total monthly charges for
October, November, and December were fifty thousand dollars) ($50,000), a ten
percent (10%) cap would limit the recomputed fees to fifty-five thousand dollars
($55,000). If the recomputed fees are fifty-five thousand dollars ($55,000) or
less, the Customer receives no Price Adjustment Credit If the recomputed fees
were fifty-eight thousand dollars ($58,000), the Customer would receive a Price
Adjustment Credit of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per month on each subsequent
monthly invoice until the next price increase.

d. ADDITIONAL CHARGES. In addition to the charges described above or set
forth in Exhibit C, Customer agrees to pay for any manufacturers, sales, use,
excise, personal property, or any other tax or charge, or duty or assessment
levied or assessed by any governmental authority upon or as a result of the
execution or performance of any service pursuant to this Agreement or materials
furnished with respect to the Agreement, except those taxes based on M&I's net
income, franchise, or personal property.
e. TERMS OF PAYMENT. Customer shall pay the Fixed Monthly Fee on the
first day of the month in which the Services are to be performed. Any other
amounts due hereunder shall be paid within thirty (30) days of invoice, unless
otherwise provided herein. To effect the payment, Customer hereby authorizes M&I
to initiate debit entries from and, if necessary, initiate credit entries and
adjustments to Customer's account at the depository designated in the ACH
Authorization Agreement. Debit entries for the Fixed Monthly Fee will be made on
the first day of each month for which Services will be rendered under the
Agreement In the event that a payment day is a nonbusiness day, entries will be
made on the first preceding business day. Customer shall authorize, on the
attached ACH Authorization Agreement, debits from and credits to its account for
payment for Services received under the Agreement. The Customer shall also pay
any collection fees and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by M&I in collecting
payment of the charges and any other amounts for which Customer is liable under
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except for amounts disputed in good
faith in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraph.
Should Customer reasonably and in good faith dispute any fees so billed,
Customer may withhold payment for the disputed amount provided Customer notifies
M&I of such disagreements or objections within the prescribed thirty (30) day
period; however, the Fixed Monthly Fee and any undisputed amounts shall be
promptly paid as described above. The parties agree to promptly attempt to
resolve the dispute, and further agree if the disputed invoice is not resolved
within sixty (60) days of the invoice date, the chief executive officers of the
parties shall meet to resolve the dispute.
f. MODIFICATION OF TERMS AND PRICING. If Customer is in default and M&I
elects to continue to perform the Services, Customer agrees to pay M&I all
unamortized conversion expenses in advance of M&I performing any additional
Services. In addition, Customer agrees that all charges for Services shall be
computed using M&I's then-current standard published prices, paid in advance as
determined by M&I. At M&I's option, such Services shall be provided on a
month-to-month basis.
3. TERM.

Loan System, Customer Information System). M&I may also terminate any of the
Services immediately upon any regulatory, legislative, or judicial determination
that providing such Services is inconsistent with applicable law or regulation
or upon imposition by any such authority of restrictions or conditions which
would detract from the economic or other benefits to M&I or Customer to any
element of the Services.
10. DISASTER RECOVERY. M&I maintains, and shall continue to maintain
throughout the term of this Agreement, off-site disaster recovery capabilities

and effectiveness of its disaster recovery plan at least annually. M&I

Customer if: (a) Customer is insolvent, or a receiver or conservator shall be
appointed with respect to the Customer; or (b)Customer shall fail to pay any sum
due M&I within the prescribed time, except for any sums subject to a reasonable,
good faith dispute as provided for in Section 2(e) herein; or (c) if the
Customer shall fail to perform any of its other covenants or obligations under
this Agreement where the failure of Customer to perform has a material adverse
impact on M&I. It shall be an Event of Default on the part of M&I: (a) M&I is
insolvent, or a receiver or conservator shall be appointed with respect to M&I;
or (b) if M&I shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement
where the failure of M&I to perform has a material adverse impact on Customer
and is material to the
5
6
provision of the Services, except for those obligations under Section 20 of this
Agreement as to which the Agreement provides specific remedies for M&I's failure
to perform unless such failure to meet the standard in Section 20 creates a
material adverse impact on Customer. The defaulting party shall have ten (10)
days from the date of receipt of notice from the nondefaulting party of
nonpayment or nonperformance to cure such an Event of Default, before the
nondefaulting party may exercise any remedies it may have as a result of the
Event of Default.
12. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT: LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES. If an Event of
Default occurs on the part of the Customer, and is not cured within the ten (10)
day period prescribed in Section 11, M&I may (a) terminate this Agreement; (b)
terminate access to its central processing unit by the Customer; and (c) declare
all amounts payable under this Agreement to be immediately due payable and file
suit for or otherwise obtain payment from the Customer of any fees or other sums
due it pursuant to this Agreement, plus any actual damages to its equipment or
systems caused by the Customer's actions, failures to act, equipment, systems,
or communication facilities. If an Event of Default occurs on the part of M&I,
and is not cured within the ten (10) day period prescribed in Section 11, the
Customer may only: (a) terminate this Agreement without payment of any buyout,
deconversion charge, or penalty and (b) file suit or otherwise obtain payment of
an aggregate amount of fees paid by the Customer to M&I hereunder during the six
(6) months immediately preceding the Event of Default; except that M&I's
liability with respect to termination as a result of M&I's gross negligence or
willful failure to perform shall be eighteen (18) months. Either party may also
seek equitable remedies, including, without limitation, specific performance and
injunctive relief, for a breach of Section 5 of this Agreement. M&I and the
Customer agree that these damage provisions are reasonable in light of all
present predictable circumstances (including expectable actual damages in that
the fees to be charged by M&I hereunder do not include amounts sufficient to
insure against greater claims). M&I and Customer expressly waive all claims for
additional, incidental, consequential, compensatory, or punitive damages and
agree that the remedies set forth in this Agreement shall be the sole and
exclusive remedies of the parties. No lawsuit or other action may be brought by
either party hereto or on any claim or controversy based upon or arising in any
way out of this Agreement after one (1) year from the date of the occurrence
allegedly giving rise to the action, except for nonpayment of sums due to M&I by
Customer. M&I agrees that except in the case of an Event of Default relating to
a breach by the Customer of its confidentiality obligations under Section 5 of
this Agreement, M&I will not exercise its remedy to terminate Customer's access
to the M&I central processing unit so long as: (a) Customer is current m the
payment of all amounts due M&I as reflected on M&I's last invoice to Customer;
and (b)only exercise such remedy after providing Customer with sixty (60) days'
prior written notice.

assurances to such agency and agrees to subject itself to any required
examination or regulation. Customer agrees to reimburse M&I for reasonable costs

any known material defect as soon as commercially reasonable at M&I's expense.
17. OWNERSHIP OF DATA. Customer is the owner of all of its data supplied by
Customer to M&I for processing hereunder. Customer acknowledges that it has no

9
10

M&I's use of the same during the term of this Agreement to process data. Upon
termination of this Agreement, M&I shall provide Customer with all copies of
Customer's data in a format that is being used by M&I at that time for
processing such data. Prior to the release of the Customer's data: (a) all
amounts owed under this Agreement by Customer to M&I shall be current and paid
in full except for those sums subject to a reasonable, good faith dispute as
provided for in Section 2(e) herein, and (b) Customer shall pay M&I its
"Estimated Deconversion Expenses" as described below. Customer agrees to pay M&I
for M&I's work in providing such data at M&I's rates then in effect for computer
and personnel time, supplies, and other items as required, and Customer further
agrees to pay M&I for any and all charges associated with the deconversion of
Customer's data based on M&I's then-current charges for such Services. M&I shall
make a good faith estimate of all of such costs, expenses, and charges which
shall be paid by Customer in advance (the "Estimated Deconversion Expenses").
The difference, if any, between the actual expenses and the prepaid Estimated
Deconversion Expenses shall be promptly paid or refunded, as appropriate, after
determination.
18. WARRANTIES. M&I represents and warrants that:
a. CAPABILITY OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE. M&I's computer systems
(hardware and software) are capable of performing the Services in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. The software used to provide the Services
will operate substantially in accordance with the specifications and
documentation for the software as modified from time to time to incorporate
enhancements or modifications of the software to provide the Services.
b. OUALITY OF SERVICE. The reports and Services made available to
Customer shall be in substantial conformity with the User Manuals, as amended
from time to time, copies of which have been, or will be, provided to Customer.
c. PROPERTY RIGHTS. M&I has the right to provide the Services hereunder,
using all computer software required for that purpose. M&I will indemnify,
defend, and hold Customer harmless against any and all claims that the M&I
proprietary software used to provide the Services hereunder or the Services
infringe a U.S. patent or copyright and M&I will pay resulting costs, damages,
and attorneys' fees awarded, provided that:
(i) Customer promptly notifies M&I in writing of the claim; and
(ii) M&I has sole control of the defense and all related settlement
negotiations.
If such claim has occurred, or in M&I's opinion is likely to occur,
Customer agrees to permit M&I, at M&I's option and expense, either to procure
for Customer the right to continue receiving the Services using the software or
replace or modify the same with a substantially comparable product so that they
become noninfringing. If neither of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably
available, Customer's sole remedy shall be for Customer to terminate the
Agreement without payment of any buyout amount or deconversion expense; provided
however that M&I shall be obligated to use reasonable efforts to mitigate the
adverse consequences to Customer of any such claim.

expected to create an impact on Customer or Customer's customers, M&I agrees to:
(1) notify Customer of the error within 4 hours during normal business hours;
(2) develop and implement a plan of action to be shared with Customer within 8
hours during normal business hours; (3) resolve the error to limit Customer
impact as soon as commercially reasonable. In the event Customer is not

releases of the M&I software not less than I week prior (or such longer period
as may be appropriate due to the scope of modification) to implementation of
such changes. M&I shall make available to Customer, in accordance with the
published curriculum, training adequate on all such changes not less than I week
(or such longer period, as appropriate) prior to implementation. Training
usually is only required should the changes be large system upgrades requiring
additional training or should Customer elect to use the new functionality.
Training for major releases will be announced at least thirty (30) days prior to
implementation. Customer shall not use any such changed release until after such
training has been received. M&I will determine if training is necessary and

Customer's behalf does not relieve Customer of responsibility to provide
accurate TINs or liability for any penalties which may be assessed for failure

Addendum, Customer elects to terminate this Addendum at the end of the Initial
Term (or any replacement addendum relating thereto) and, at the time notice of

upon competitive bid process and final review by both parties, if the equipment
is retained by M&I, the fair market value (Market Value) of the equipment as of
the termination date. A loss will be defined as the Book Value exceeding the net
sale proceeds or the Market Value; a profit will be defined as the net sale
proceeds or the Market Value exceeding the Book Value. Market Value will be
determined by an Independent Appraiser selected by the parties. In the event the
parties are unable to agree on a single Independent Appraiser within ten (10)
business days following notice of termination, each party shall select an
Independent Appraiser within ten (10) business days, and the two Independent
Appraisers so chosen shall promptly select a third Independent Appraiser. The
Market Value shall be the average of the appraised values determined by each of
the three
2
23
Independent Appraisers so chosen, and shall be determinative. Any profit
resulting from the sale of equipment shall offset any losses on the sale of
equipment.
3. The estimated amounts of such costs, expenses and other
liabilities shall be presented to Customer for review at least one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the end of the Initial Term and prior to execution of
any employee severance, lease termination, or sale transaction. If such
estimated amounts do not meet with Customer's approval, Customer may exercise
its option under Section H of this Addendum.
4. Following approval by Customer, the amounts of such costs and
expenses shall be promptly paid, in accordance with the payment provisions of
the Agreement, by Customer to M&I from time to time upon presentation of a
written invoice (or invoices) and corresponding supporting documentation by M&I.
H. At any time after the first twelve (12) months of the Initial Term,
Customer may notify M&I of its intent to purchase the Business and Physical
Assets from M&I ("Notification"), provided the Backroom and Item Processing
Services provided by M&I to Customer and its affiliates performed at the
Facility at the time of Notification represent in excess of seventy percent
(70%) of the revenue of the Business. Customer's Option to purchase may be
exercised upon the following terms and conditions.

given in writing to M&I not sooner than twelve (12) months from the start of the
Initial Term, nor later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of
the Initial Term. In no event shall notice be given subsequent to one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the end of the Initial Term, at which date the
Option shall expire unless a notice by Customer to exercise the Option has been
duly given prior thereto. Within thirty (30) days of Notification, M&I shall
propose a purchase price for the Business and Physical Assets and Customer shall
undertake any due-diligence study deemed reasonably necessary. The parties shall
then negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days on a purchase
price.
2. Pursuant to the Option, Customer may purchase all, but not less
than all, of the Physical Assets and the Business. In connection therewith,
Customer shall assume all of M&I's continuing obligations relating to the
Business, including obligations under Customer contracts, lease obligations
relating to any leased equipment located therein, and the like. Customer shall
indemnify and hold M&I harmless from any failure of Customer to fully perform
such obligations.
3. The price at which such Option shall be determined as follows;
a. In the event the parties agree within 60 days of notice of
exercise of the Option on the purchase price, then the price shall
be as agreed between the parties.
b. In the event the parties are not able to agree on price or
other significant terms and conditions, Customer may cancel its
intent to purchase or ask for an independently appraised value. If
Customer requests an Independently Appraised value, then Customer
shall have a binding obligation to complete the transaction
contemplated hereby, as follows. The parties shall select an
3
24
Independent Appraiser to determine the terms and conditions upon
which such purchase shall be made.
c. In the event the parties are unable to agree on a single
Independent Appraiser within ten (10) business days, each party
shall select an Independent Appraiser within ten (10) business days,
and the two Independent Appraisers so chosen shall promptly select a
third Independent Appraiser. The purchase price shall be the average
of the appraised values determined by each of the three Independent
Appraisers so chosen, and shall be determinative.
d. The principle to be used in the determination of the price
by the parties, or the Independent Appraiser(s), shall be 110% of
the sum of (i) the fair market value, or book value, which ever is
greater, of Physical Assets plus (ii) the going concern value of the
Business to a third party. Such amounts shall be determined as of
the expected closing date, and shall not include any reduction in
value of the Physical Assets or Business as a result of the
termination of arrangements with Customer, although no going concern
value shall be assigned to M&I's Business with Customer. No
reduction shall be made for the obligations assumed by Customer in
the transaction.

shall occur on a date agreed by the parties or, if the parties are unable to
agree, on the date upon which this Addendum is terminated. At the closing, each
party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale (in similar form to those
pursuant to which the Customer is conveying assets to M&I hereunder), assumption
agreements and other documents as may be appropriate to effect the transactions
contemplated hereby.

other rights in the Software and that it has all the rights necessary
in order to grant the licenses specified under this Agreement. In the
event of any claim by any third party with respect to any of the
Software or documentation that such Software or documentation violates
or infringes any United States copyright or patent, M&I shall defend

M&I is notified within ten (10) calendar days in writing of any suit
or claim against the Customer, that the Customer permits M&I to defend
said claim of infringement and gives M&I all reasonable and available
information, assistance, and authority to enable M&I to do so, and
provided further that Customer fully observes all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. M&I shall not be responsible for any
compromise made without its consent. Following notice of a claim or of

within the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) modify the Software in a
manner that does not materially impact on their functionality so that
further use becomes noninfringing; provided that M&I shall have no
obligation to incur direct costs in connection with exercising either
or both of the foregoing options in excess of the limitation of
liability under Section 17 of this Agreement. Additionally, M&I shall
have no obligation with respect to any such infringement where the
infringement would have been avoided but for modifications made to the
Software by the Customer. The foregoing states M&I's entire
obligation, and the Customer's exclusive remedy, with respect to
infringement.

all other PCTeller Software errors that are brought to its attention
by the Customer during the term of this Agreement and the Data
Processing Agreement and to correct all Salespartner Software errors
which cause the Salespartner Software not to be in substantial
compliance with its related user documentation and to use its best
efforts to correct all other Salespartner Software errors that are
brought to its attention by the Customer during the ninety (90) days
