NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Services; Duty of Care. A Party providing services hereunder (the “Servicing Party”) shall perform and deliver services for or on behalf of another Party hereto (the “Receiving Party”) as more fully described under a duly executed services addendum between the Servicing Party and the Receiving Party (each a “Services Addendum” and collectively the “Services Addenda”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the services to be provided under any and all Services Addenda executed hereunder are hereinafter referred to individually and collectively as the “Services”).

The Servicing Party may satisfy its obligations to perform hereunder either through its own employees, agents, or representatives, and/or through independent contractors used to provide the Services as if provided directly by the Servicing Party. The Servicing Party shall be responsible for the actions of its agents, employees, representatives, or independent contractors providing the Services and shall require, by contract, each of its independent contractors to, when providing Services, comply with (i) the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) all laws and regulations applicable to it, the Services it provides, the Servicing Party and Receiving Party.
The Services Addenda are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement conflict with any of the terms or conditions of any Services Addendum, the terms or conditions of such
Services Addendum will control solely with respect to the Services covered under such Services Addendum.
2. Fees. The Receiving Party shall pay service fees to the Servicing Party as more fully described in the applicable Services Addendum (“Servicing Fees”). Servicing Fees payable hereunder shall be paid monthly in arrears. Each Receiving Party reserves the right to net any Servicing Fees due to a Servicing Party against any Servicing Fees owed by the Receiving Party to such Servicing Party under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties.
3. Term; Insolvency. This Agreement shall have a term of twelve months from the date hereof and shall automatically renew on an annual basis for subsequent twelve-month periods unless otherwise agreed to be each of the Parties hereto no less than thirty days prior to the expiration of any such twelve-month period. The term of each Services Addendum shall be the same as the term of this Agreement unless otherwise specified in the Services Addendum; provided that a Services Addendum may be terminated by either Party thereto upon thirty days notice to the other Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) in the event that a Servicing Party shall have provided a Receiving Party with a 30 day termination notice pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Servicing Party shall be required to continue providing the applicable Services to the Receiving Party until such time as the provision of such Services shall have been transferred to the Receiving Party or a third party; (ii) in the event that the Bank or any Bank subsidiary party to any Services Addendum becomes the subject of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, the applicable Servicing Party shall be required to continue providing the related Services to the Bank or such Bank subsidiary until such time as the related Services shall have been successfully transitioned to the Bank, such Bank subsidiary or a third-party servicer, and the applicable Servicing Party shall take all steps reasonably necessary to assist in the transition of such Services; and (iii) in the event that a non-Bank Servicing Party becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, such non-Bank Servicing Party shall be required to continue providing Services under any Servicing Addenda under which the Receiving Party is the Bank or a Bank subsidiary until such time as the related Services shall have been transitioned to the Receiving Party or a third-party servicer, and such non-Bank Servicing Party shall take all steps reasonably necessary to assist in the transition of the such Services.
4. Shared Employees.
a. The duties and responsibilities of each Shared Employee at the Bank (“Bank Responsibilities”) are set forth in the Shared Employee Addendum. While performing Bank Responsibilities, the Shared Employee shall be deemed to be employed exclusively by the Bank and the Bank alone shall be responsible for the supervision and direction of the Shared Employee during such periods. While performing duties and responsibilities for an Affiliate, the Shared Employee shall be deemed to be employed exclusively by the Affiliate, and the Affiliate alone shall be responsible for the supervision and direction of the Shared Employee during such periods. All data, documents, and information furnished by the Bank to any Shared Employee, or obtained by the Shared Employee, in connection with Shared Employee’s performance of Bank Responsibilities shall remain the exclusive property of the Bank and shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 11 hereof.
b. A Shared Employee shall act in the best interests of the Bank while performing Bank Responsibilities.

d. Subject to this Section 4, allocation of time and responsibilities of a Shared Employee between the Bank and the related non-subsidiary Affiliate shall be agreed by the Bank and such Affiliate from time to time. In the event that there is a conflict between priorities of the Bank and the related Affiliate, a Shared Employee’s performance of Bank Responsibilities shall take priority over performance of Services for such Affiliate to the extent failure by the Shared Employee to perform Bank Responsibilities could adversely affect the safe and sound operation of the Bank or compliance with banking laws or regulations, as determined by the Bank acting reasonably and in good faith.
e. The relationship between the Bank and the related Affiliate pursuant to this Section 4 is solely that of independent parties contracting to allocate the time and expenses of a Shared Employee.

Except as may be provided in Section 7 below, the occurrence of a business interruption event shall not relieve a Servicing Party of its obligation to perform the Services in accordance with the terms hereof.

Each Servicing Party shall cooperate fully with regard to examinations by the Regulatory Agencies.

7. Force Majeure. No Servicing Party shall be liable for any loss, injury, damages, delay in performance or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement to the extent such loss, injury, damages, delay or failure to perform is the result of causes beyond the control of that party and is without its fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, acts of God, labor disputes, governmental regulations or orders, civil disturbance, war conditions, terrorist acts, riots, explosions, fires or the result of a failure by the other Party to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such loss, injury, damages, delay or non-performance is the result of any failure of the Servicing Party performing Services to comply with its obligations set forth in its Disaster Recovery Plan.
Upon occurrence of any force majeure event, the Servicing Party shall render the Services in accordance with the emergency service levels and other conditions as detailed in its Disaster Recovery Plan. Each Receiving Party shall also make a good faith effort to mitigate the effects of any occurrence beyond its control that results in any loss, injury, damages, delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
8. Representations and Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction, and this Agreement when duly executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

g. No term or provision hereof will be deemed waived, and no variation of terms or provisions hereof shall be deemed consented to, unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the Party against whom such waiver or consent is sought to be enforced. Any delay, waiver or omission by a Party to exercise any right or power arising from any breach or default of the other party in any of the terms, provisions or covenants of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver by such Party of any subsequent breach or default of the same or other terms, provisions or covenants on the part of another Party.
h. Headings used in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.
i. Any exhibit to this Agreement shall be construed as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth herein.

FORM OF SERVICES ADDENDUM
This Services Addendum is dated as of , 20 and is entered into pursuant to and incorporated by reference into the Master Services Agreement dated as of December , 2012 by and among the parties thereto, including each of the undersigned (the “Master Services Agreement”). (the “Servicing Party”) hereby agrees to provide to (the “Receiving Party”) the Services described below. The provision of Services hereunder shall be governed by the terms of the Master Services Agreement. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Master Services Agreement.
Services to be Provided
In addition to services as agreed from time to time by the Parties, Servicing Party will perform the following Services for, or on behalf of, Receiving Party:
•
•
•
•
Shared Employees
Will Receiving Party utilize Shared Employees of the Servicing Party?
Yes/No
For all Services Addenda under which the Bank or a Bank subsidiary is providing services that include Shared Employees, the Bank shall be reimbursed pursuant to a calculation based on an estimate of the percentage of time spent by the Shared Employee on non-bank matters.
Fees, Expenses and Payment for Services to be Provided
Fees for Services to be provided under this Addendum shall be determined for each support function providing services to the Receiving Party largely consistent with an internal management reporting process for allocating costs. The method for determining cost allocation will be made in consultation with the cost center manager for the respective support function and will utilize a combination of one or more of the following cost allocation methods:
• | Usage: meaning costs will be based on actual or planned costs; |
• | Business specific: meaning that no allocation methods are necessary as the related cost center captures costs of one business exclusively; |
• | Time spent: meaning a direct reflection of the support provided to each business; |
• | Headcount FTE: meaning costs will be allocated to each business based on the percentage of each business’s FTE to sum of total FTE; and |
• | Percentage of operating expenses: meaning certain costs are allocated to businesses based on the overall percentage of costs being absorbed by each business |
[All Services Addenda to which the Bank or a Bank subsidiary is a Party shall include the following provision:
The Parties intend for the cost allocation, in all cases, to be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards (if applicable), that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the Bank or Bank subsidiary as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving unaffiliated third parties. The Parties shall not impose any allocation on the Bank or Bank subsidiary that is inconsistent with that intent and, if it is determined by the Bank or Bank subsidiary in good faith or any regulatory body with supervisory authority over the Bank that an allocation hereunder is inconsistent with that intent, the Parties shall promptly modify the terms accordingly and shall adjust any prior allocations that violate that intent.]
The parties agree that the fees payable to the Servicing Party hereunder shall not exceed the fees the Servicing Party would have received for similar services provided to an unaffiliated third party.
