XXXX PAYMENT SERVICES RESELLER AGREEMENT***
THIS AGREEMENT is made this 28th day of February, 2001, (the "Effective Date")
by and between Digital Insight Corporation ("Reseller" or "Digital Insight")
and Metavante Corporation ("Metavante").
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Metavante by itself or through its subcontractor(s), offers a system
which enables consumers and small business customers of financial institutions
to initiate xxxx payment services from a telephone, personal computer, internet
enabled television, or other access device (the "Xxxx Payment Services"); and
WHEREAS, Reseller provides internet banking support services to financial
institutions and desires to offer the Xxxx Payment Services to financial
institutions which contract with Reseller for such internet banking services.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, the parties, intending legally to be bound,
mutually agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement, the defined terms shall have the
respective meanings as set forth on Schedule 1.
-----------
2. BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.
2.1. Initial Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date
------------
and end on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the last day of the month in which
the Effective Date occurs (the "Initial Term"). This Agreement shall annually
renew for additional Terms of one (1) year unless written notice of termination
is provided to the other party within ninety (90) days of the expiration of any
Term.
2.2. Performance of Xxxx Payment Services.
------------------------------------
A. By Metavante Affiliates or Subcontractors. Reseller understands
-----------------------------------------
and agrees that the actual performance of the Xxxx Payment Services may be made
by the divisions or subsidiaries of Metavante Corporation, Affiliates of
Metavante Corporation, or subcontractors of any of the foregoing Entities
(collectively, the "Eligible Providers"). For purposes of this Agreement,
performance of the Xxxx Payment Services by any Eligible Provider shall be
deemed performance by Metavante Corporation itself. Metavante shall remain fully
responsible for the performance or non-performance of each Eligible Provider
under this Agreement, to the same extent if Metavante itself performed or failed
to perform such services. Reseller agrees to look solely to Metavante, and not
to any Eligible Provider, for satisfaction of any claims Reseller may have
arising out of this Agreement or the performance or nonperformance of Services.
B. Right to Perform Services in Most Efficient Manner. Reseller
--------------------------------------------------
understands and agrees that, in providing Xxxx Payment Services for Reseller
hereunder, Metavante may use the most effective or efficient means deemed
reasonable or necessary by Metavante in its sole discretion, provided that the
foregoing shall not affect Metavante's obligation to provide the Xxxx Payment
Services in accordance with the Performance Warranty or other terms of this
Agreement. For example, Metavante has the right to consolidate and remit all
payments for a particular payee to that payee's central payment processing
center rather than remitting any User's payment to a different address of the
payee designated by the User.
C. Payee Contacts. Reseller authorizes and directs Metavante to
--------------
contact payees with respect to disputes or issues regarding payments processed
by or for Reseller or Users through the Xxxx Payment System.

-------
as this Agreement remains in effect, Metavante grants to Reseller and its
Affiliates a non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable right to market the
Xxxx Payment Services directly to Customers, and Reseller agrees to offer the
Xxxx Payment Services to Customers. Reseller agrees that it is responsible for
assuring compliance with this Agreement by those Affiliates reselling Xxxx
Payment Services under this Agreement, and the term "Customer" shall be deemed
to include financial institutions signing agreements with Reseller's Affiliates

associated with their respective obligations under this Agreement and the
payments to be made to Metavante and the charges to be incurred by Metavante
pursuant to this Agreement. The parties agree that the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against any party by reason
of the extent to which any party or its professional advisors participated in

---
by either party to the other.

DESCRIPTION OF METAVANTE XXXX PAYMENT SERVICES
1. Metavante Xxxx Payment Services
1.1. Payment Initiation. Metavante will provide the Xxxx Payment Services

Depending upon the Xxxx Payment Services selected by Reseller, Users will be
able to initiate payments, subject to any maximum payment limit established by
Metavante, by telephone or through a personal computer or other access device to
any payee in the United States except for government or court directed payments.
. Users shall be able to schedule payments up to 364 days in the

regular basis: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, semi-
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
. Users shall be able to review, change, and cancel scheduled future
or recurring payments
1.2. Back-End Processing. Each business day, Metavante will consolidate
all of the payments made throughout the Xxxx Payment System. Several editing
functions check that payment information is correct before remittance is made to
the appropriate payees on behalf of the Users. Metavante then remits the proper
funds ("Credits") to all appropriate payees either electronically or by check if
the payee is not able to accept electronic remittances. All checks will be
mailed using the U. S. Postal Service, first class mail.
1.3. Debit to User Account
. Current Payment: Metavante will submit a debit request via the ACH
to the Settlement Account within 2 Business Days after the User
submits the request for payment, or otherwise as required under
the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association.
. Future and Recurring Payments: Metavante will submit a debit
request via the ACH to the Settlement Account within 2 Business
Days after the payment date entered.
1.4. Credit Remission. Metavante will remit credit to vendor (payee) the
next Business Day after the User submits request for payment (as stated above
for current, future and recurring). Average length of time from User payment
request and receipt of payment by payee will be five (5) Business Days for check
payments (subject to U.S. Postal Services) and three (3) business days for
electronic payments (subject to the rules and performance of the electronic
transmission service provider).
1.5. User Kits. If Metavante is providing Fulfillment Services for
Reseller, Metavante will send User Kits no later than 5 Business Days after
Metavante receives User authorization information. Reseller's Server will be
updated with User information by the day the User Kit is mailed.
2. Fulfillment Services
If requested by Reseller and reasonably necessary, Metavante will perform
fulfillment services for Reseller. These services may include:
2.1. Collating and packaging all User Kit materials
2.2. Mailing User Kit packages (postage paid for by Metavante and
reimbursed by Reseller)
2.3. Creating and mailing secure passwords to Users
2.4. Mailing additional material, such as new payee lists, passwords, or

payment is going or has gone to the wrong address, wrong payee, etc., Metavante
will accept stops and reissues immediately. Electronic payments cannot be
stopped. The Stop Payment Fee will be applied whenever any xxxx payment is
stopped by Metavante at Reseller's or the User's request, because the payee
address was incorrectly submitted by the User, or because the User requests a
refund on a check payment that has not yet cleared. The Stop Payment Fee will
not be assessed by Metavante if the payment is stopped by Metavante due to an
Metavante error, the payment was not posted by the payee even though the payee
address was correctly submitted by the User, or if the payment check was lost in
the mail.
4. Rejected Payments. If a payment is rejected for any reason, Metavante will
attempt to contact the User for resolution if necessary. If information is not
provided from the User within five (5) business days, Metavante will cancel the
payment.

checks at least ninety (90) days following the date of the payment check. If

expiration date, Metavante may choose to cancel the check, refund the amount
of the check to the User's DDA Account, and notify the User that the payment
did not post.
6. File Transfers. Metavante will initiate transaction polling at least once
per Business Day, or in the case of a holiday, the evening of the holiday if
the holiday falls before a Business Day, to the designated sites specified

. A block will automatically (systematically) be placed by Metavante on all
accounts that have an ACH debit returned to Metavante Xxxx Payment
Services. No additional xxxx payments will be processed until the account
is properly funded and the return(s) cleared. If a payment request is
received while the account is blocked, a letter will be sent notifying
the User that the payment(s) will not be processed. A copy will be sent
to Reseller.
. Upon the first return, Metavante will automatically resend all ACH
returns under $100.00 (individually and cumulatively). Exception: debits
for payments in which the credit portion was sent electronically will be
resent regardless of the dollar amount without Reseller verification.
. Metavante will contact Reseller to verify all returns exceeding $100.00
(individually and cumulatively). If funds are available, Metavante will
resent the return(s). If funds are unavailable and if the payment was
made by check, a stop payment will be placed on the outbound payment.
8. Billing Timeline. Metavante begins the monthly billing cycle on the third
(3/rd/) business day of the month. By the fourth (4/th/) Business Day if
reasonably possible, but no later than the sixth (6/th/) business day,
advices are sent by regular mail to arrive in advance of the actual ACH
debit or credit which takes place on the fifteenth (15/th/) business day.

SCHEDULE 6
----------
A. NON-GUARANTEED FUNDS MODEL
1. Settlement Account. The Settlement Account will be the Billable Account of
the User who initiates a payment instruction.
2. Consumer Accounts. If the User is a natural person initiating payments for
his/her own personal, family, or household purposes (a "Consumer"), then, as
between Reseller and Metavante, Metavante bears the risk that the Settlement
Account will contain sufficient funds to settle payments transmitted by
Metavante pursuant to the Consumer's payment instruction on the date that
Metavante initiates the Debit to the Settlement Account (the "Credit Risk").
3. Business Accounts. If the User is not a Consumer (a "Business"), then, as
between Reseller and Metavante, Metavante bears the Credit Risk with respect
to that User, provided that Metavante's total exposure for the entire time
this Agreement is in effect is limited to a maximum loss of:
$1,000.00 per Business that has been enrolled for Xxxx Payment Services for
less than one year and
$2,500.00 per Business that has been enrolled for Xxxx Payment Services for
one year or longer.
4. Payment Cap. As of the Effective Date, each payment is capped at $9,999.00.
Metavante may change this cap from time to time without notice to Customer
or Reseller. Customer may choose to modify the payment cap for Consumers,
Businesses, or other Users upon providing written notification to Metavante.
In the event Customer increases the payment cap for any User above the
maximum then established by Metavante, Customer will bear the Credit Risk
for the full amount of any and all payments initiated by that User in excess
of Metavante's maximum payment cap.
5. ACH Return Items. Metavante shall be responsible to collect return items,
provided that Reseller is responsible to make Customers provide such
assistance as Metavante may reasonably request to recover funds, subject to
applicable law. Reseller shall require Customers to review applicants for
the Xxxx Payment Services to minimize risks to Metavante associated with
such person's use of the Xxxx Payment Services using the same degree of care
as the Customer uses when reviewing and approving applicants for a DDA
Account, which in no event shall be less than a commercially reasonable
standard of care. When returning ACH debit items initiated by Metavante for
a User's xxxx payment activities, Reseller shall be responsible to ensure
that the correct code is applied by Customers to the return item. If an
incorrect code is applied, the User's access to the Xxxx Payment Services
may be terminated.
6. Termination of Services. Metavante may terminate access to the services for
any User upon providing notice to the User and Reseller in the event
Metavante determines the User to present an unacceptable credit risk.
7. Risk Reduction Measures. Metavante may at its option implement features to
reduce credit risks. These may include but are not limited to pre-authorized
drafts, verifying funds through an ATM/EFT network, and separating debits
from credits so that payments are not sent until after good funds are
received.
B. GUARANTEED FUNDS MODEL
1. Settlement Account. The Settlement Account will be an account maintained by
the Reseller at a depository institution acceptable to Metavante. The
Reseller shall at all times maintain a sufficient balance in the Settlement
Account to satisfy payments initiated by Users.
2. Transfer of Funds. Metavante will initiate the ACH debit to transfer the
funds from the Settlement Account to Metavante's corporate account in
settlement of payment instructions transmitted by Users, and will promptly
notify Reseller of any discrepancies or errors associated with a
transaction. Settlement is not final until Metavante has good funds. In the
event that funds maintained by Reseller in the Settlement Account shall be
insufficient to fully satisfy Metavante's ACH debit, Reseller will,
immediately upon Metavante's demand, cause sufficient funds to be deposited
in the Settlement Account to satisfy Metavante's debit, or pay such amount
to Metavante directly.
3. Cooperation. Reseller and Metavante will cooperate with one another in any
research or reconciliation of any daily settlement transaction.
4. Daily Limit. Metavante will not set a daily or per payment limit on Users'
payments.
5. Validation. It is Reseller's responsibility to validate incoming ACH detail
files from Metavante for accuracy and completeness, notify Metavante of any
discrepancies, and provide appropriate resources for reconciliation.
6. Post-Termination Responsibilities. Reseller is responsible to fund xxxx
payments initiated by a User before this Agreement expires or is terminated
to take effect after expiration or termination, and Metavante is responsible
to complete the xxxx payment.
7. Termination of Services. Metavante shall terminate any User's access to the
Xxxx Payment Services upon receipt of Reseller's written request.

Metavante Statement of Procedures Regarding Billing Error Notices
Research Items and Regulation E
-------------------------------
Federal Regulation E establishes the basic rights, liabilities and
responsibilities of consumers who use electronic funds transfer services and
those of "financial institutions." It is designed to protect consumers from
liability for unauthorized transfers and other billing errors by requiring
"financial institutions" to follow specific procedures whenever they receive a
billing error notice from a consumer.
In the context of automated xxxx payment services, a Regulation E billing error
occurs, for example, when a payment is not, in fact, authorized by the consumer
or is processed incorrectly. When a "financial institution" receives a notice
of such a billing error, it must research and resolve the matter within the time
periods established by Regulation E . A "financial institution" must also
research and respond within specific time periods when a consumer requests
documentation of a xxxx payment transaction.
It is recommended that financial institutions review Regulation E for a complete
understanding of their responsibilities under the regulation. Regulation E
applies to "financial institutions," which is defined under the Regulation as a
"bank, savings association, credit union, or any other person that directly or
indirectly holds an account belonging to a consumer, or that issues an access
device and agrees with a consumer to provide electronic funds transfer services"
---
(12 CFR 202.2(i), as effective 1/1/99). Since Metavante Xxxx Payment Services
does not directly or indirectly hold accounts, or enter into agreements with
consumers to provide them electronic funds transfer services, it is Metavante
Xxxx Payment Services position that it is not a "financial institution" as that
term is defined under Regulation E. Therefore, although Metavante Xxxx Payment
Services will follow procedures and provide services to handle Reseller
inquiries related to automated xxxx payments in a timely manner pursuant to
Metavante Xxxx Payment Services agreement with its Reseller, ultimate
responsibility for Regulation E compliance remains with Metavante Xxxx Payment
Services Reseller, the financial institution.
Metavante Xxxx payment Services does not and will not provide legal advice or
opinions to financial institutions regarding Regulation E matters. However, the
following is Metavante Xxxx Payment Services internal summary of Regulation E
requirements, which is used by Metavante Xxxx Payment Services as a guide in
developing procedures for responding to Reseller inquiries that constitute
billing error notices under Regulation E, and the procedures that Metavante Xxxx
Payment Services has developed based on the Regulation E requirements. The
following is provided for informational purposes only. Metavante Xxxx Payment
Services makes no warranties or representations about the accuracy or
completeness of this information, and Metavante Xxxx Payment Services will not
be responsible for any actions or decisions by any financial institution based
on this information.
1. REGULATION E SUMMARY
a. Types of Billing Error Notices
Generally, a billing error notice is any written or oral notice from a consumer
that an automated payment is unauthorized, incorrect or erroneous and which
notice (i) enables the financial institution to identify the consumer's name and
account number, (ii) indicates why the financial institution believes that an
error exists, and (iii) includes, to the extent possible, the date, type, and
amount of the error. A billing error notice also includes a request for
documentation for a payment transaction.
Notwithstanding whether or not an inquiry would satisfy the Regulation E
definition of a billing error notice, it need not be handled in accordance with
Regulation E billing error resolution procedures unless the notice is received
by the financial institution within 60 days of sending the first statement on
which the billing error is reflected.
The Official Staff Commentary to Regulation E (as of 1/1/99) provides that "a
financial institution may require the consumer to give notice only at the
telephone number or address provided by the institution, provided the
institution maintains reasonable procedures to refer the consumer to the
specified telephone number and address if the consumer attempts to give notice
to the financial institution in a different manner."
b. Procedures and Timeframes for Resolving Regulation E Inquiries:
Regulation E provides the following time frames for responding to billing error
notices.
Ten (10) business days from receipt of the billing error notice to investigate
and resolve the matter;
One (1) business day after determining that an actual error occurred to resolve
the error by crediting the consumer's account;
Three (3) business days after making a determination to communicate the results
back to the user.
27
c. Extensions:
If a billing error cannot be completely investigated and resolved to conclusion
within ten business days, a financial institution may obtain additional time to
investigate the matter under Regulation E under two circumstances:
Written Confirmation
--------------------
A financial institution has up to forty five (45) calendar days from the date of
receiving an oral billing error notice if the institution has requested that the
consumer confirm the notice in writing and the consumer has failed to do so.
Provisional Credit
------------------
If the financial institution provisionally credits the disputed funds to the
consumer's account within ten (10) business days of receiving the billing error
notice, Regulation E allows the financial institution until the end of forty-
five calendar days from the original receipt of the billing error notice to
research and resolve the problem. The financial institution must inform the
consumer of the amount and date of the provisional credit within two business
days of provisionally crediting the consumer's account and allow the consumer to
have full use of the provisionally credited funds throughout the investigation
period.
d. Resolution/Response
If the financial institution determines that no error occurred, the financial
institution must, within the three business day time period required under
Regulation E, report the results of its investigation to the consumer in a
writing explaining its findings and noting the consumer's right to receive
copies of documentation relied upon by the institution in making its
determination. The financial institution may reverse any provisional credit
previously made to the consumer's account, provided that the financial
institution must notify the consumer of the reversal and notify the consumer
that the financial institution will honor checks, drafts, similar items, and
preauthorized transfers for 5 business days following the notice as if the
provisional credit had not been reversed.
If a billing error is found to have occurred or cannot be resolved within the
time allowed by Regulation E, the error must be corrected within the one
business day period required under Regulation E, and the results must be
communicated within the three business day period - including, if applicable,
notice to the consumer that the provisional credit to the consumer's account has
been made final.
2. Metavante Xxxx Payment Services Procedures for the handling of electronic
xxxx payment research requests that fall within the framework of Regulation E.
In recognition of the requirements of Regulation summarized above, Metavante
Xxxx Payment Services has instituted the following procedures for handling
research requests.
The following are examples of the research requests that Metavante Xxxx Payment
Services will handle as billing error notices under Regulation E, provided the
request meets the timing and content requirements of Regulation E:
1) a user states that he/she did not schedule an electronic payment that was
debited to his/her account;
2) a user states that an electronic payment was remitted to a payee other than
the payee designated by the user;
3) a user states that an electronic payment was debited on a date that was not
on or about the date designated by the user ;
4) a user states that an electronic payment was debited for an amount that was
not the amount authorized by the user ;
5) a user states that an electronic payment was debited more times than the
user instructed;
6) a user states that an electronic payment was debited after the user
successfully canceled the payment in accordance with the applicable terms
and conditions;
7) a user states that a fixed recurring payment was electronically debited
after the ending date of the payment series instructed by the user.
Metavante Xxxx Payment Services receives each such research request and logs the
item on-line. It is important for financial institutions to recognize that
Metavante Xxxx Payment Services will log the request and begin to monitor
response times only when the request is received by Metavante Xxxx Payment
Services, not when it is received by the financial institution. In order to
ensure that Metavante Xxxx Payment Services will process the item within
Regulation E timeframes, a financial institution should, as permitted under the
Official Staff Commentary to Regulation E, identify the telephone number and
address specified by Metavante Xxxx Payment Services for billing error notices
in the initial disclosure statement the financial institution provides to
Resellers. The financial institution should also maintain procedures to refer
Resellers to this Metavante Xxxx Payment Services number or address if the
Reseller contacts the financial institution directly in order to ensure that the
item will be processed in a manner that will enable the financial institution to
satisfy Regulation E requirements.
Metavante Xxxx Payment Services Research team will evaluate every payment
research request it receives to determine if the payment was processed in error
(unauthorized or processed incorrectly), or the user is specifically alleging
that the payment was processed in error (incorrectly).
28
If Metavante Xxxx Payment Services determines that the research item is a
billing error notice under Regulation E:
We will attempt to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. If we cannot
resolve the error within eight business days of the original notification
date and we have received written confirmation of the consumer's error
notice (if requested), the financial institution will be notified via
telephone by the research team, of the pending research inquiry and advised
that a provisional credit should be made to the user's account. By
notifying the financial institution within the eight business days we are
allowing for sufficient time for the F.I. to provisionally credit the
account prior to the expiration of ten business days, as required under
Regulation E.
The financial institution will be responsible for provisionally crediting
the consumer's account and notifying the consumer that a provisional credit
has been made to the consumer's account in accordance with Regulation E
requirements.
Metavante Xxxx Payment Services will continue to work the research request
to resolve it as quickly as possible. Metavante will notify the financial
institution of the disposition of any research issue not resolved within
the forty-five (45) extended calendar period. Where the alleged billing
error is an unauthorized payment, Metavante Xxxx Payment Services will
report to the financial institution its findings, but it will be the
responsibility of the financial institution to decide whether or not the
payment was, in fact, unauthorized based on these findings. A log will be
maintained of Metavante Xxxx Payment Services notification to the financial
institution.
The financial institution will be responsible for crediting the consumer's
account for errors, and notifying the Reseller in accordance with
Regulation E requirements of the final conclusions of the investigation. In
the event Metavante Xxxx Payment Services findings indicate that no error
occurred, the financial institution will be responsible for notifying the
consumer of the results of the investigation, reversing the provisional
credit (if any), and notifying the consumer of the reversal, all in
accordance with Regulation E requirements.
