MASTER
AGREEMENT ("Agreement”) dated as
of November 7,
2008 ("Effective
Date") between Fiserv Solutions, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation with
offices located at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, on
behalf of itself and its Affiliates, ("Fiserv"), and
Commerce Bank Harrisburg, NA, a Pennsylvania corporation with offices located at
0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 ("Client").
Fiserv
and Client hereby agree as follows:
1. Services. (a)
Fiserv, itself and through its affiliates, agrees to provide Client, and Client
agrees to obtain from Fiserv the services (collectively "Services") and
products ("Products")
(collectively, "Fiserv
Services") described in the attached Exhibits. In consideration of Fiserv
providing the Services, Client shall pay to Fiserv the fees in accordance with
this Agreement. Except as set forth in this Agreement or as provided for
pursuant to the Change Control Process, there shall be no additional charge or
fees payable by Client in respect of Fiserv's performance of its obligations
pursuant to this Agreement. "Affiliate" shall mean an entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with a party to this Agreement during the
Term hereof where control means the ownership or control, directly or
indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of all of the voting power of the
shares (or other securities or rights) entitled to vote for the election of
directors or other governing authority.
(b) The
Exhibits set forth specific terms and conditions applicable to the Services
and/or Products. The parties may add services and products to this Agreement by
signing an appropriate Exhibit to this Agreement subject to the Change Control
Process outlined in Appendix 3.
(c) In
the event Client incurs actual and sustained volumes recognized by both parties
as being significantly in excess of Client's 20% year on year growth
projections, or in the event of a contemplated acquisition by Client that the
parties agree will significantly increase Client's use of Fiserv Services
(excluding EFT Services), then Fiserv and Client shall meet to discuss in good
faith any appropriate changes in pricing.
(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the EFT Services
pricing in the market may change over the Term, and Client expects year on year
growth of 20%, therefore, specific to the EFT Services as described in Exhibit C
of the Agreement, the parties agree to conduct a competitive price analysis of
like services, like volumes, like growth, and like terms to such EFT Services
for comparable financial institution ("Like Services") within 90 days following
the end of years 3 and 5 of the Term from first production use of EFT Services
where such competitive analysis shall include Fiserv's then current competitive
pricing for such Like Services, If as a result of such analysis the then current
market competitive pricing for Like Services is materially different from the
pricing currently being invoiced to Client for such EFT Services, then the
parties agree to meet to negotiate in good faith any appropriate adjustment to
the fees for such EFT Services given current market rates for Like Services and
Client's actual growth achievement. Should the parties be unable to agree on an
appropriate adjustment, the matter shall be escalated to the second level of
informal effort under Section 10 (a) of this Agreement and ultimately resolved
through the Dispute Resolution process pursuant to Section 10 of this
Agreement.
2. Fees for Fiserv
Services. (a) General. Client
agrees to pay Fiserv all of the following (collectively, "Fees"):
(i)
Monthly Fees - Actual fees (unless otherwise set forth in the Exhibits) due and
payable for the Fiserv Services made available in the previous month as
specified in the Exhibits beginning when each applicable Fiserv Service is made
available to Client. For the avoidance of doubt, the Monthly Fees include
Project Services fees.
(ii)
Other Fees - License fees, Maintenance fees, and other fees are due as set forth
in the Exhibits.
(iii)

Fees
payable pursuant to this Agreement, including each exhibit hereto, including

provided
by Fiserv as identified in the Exhibits. Fiserv may increase its Fees in excess
of amounts otherwise payable hereunder or under any exhibit in the event that
Fiserv implements major system enhancements (i.e. new functionality) to comply
with changes in law, government regulation, or industry practices. Fiserv shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any Fee increases resulting from
such changes. For the avoidance of doubt, Client may choose to license
enhancements that Fiserv develops for the Software that are not required by
Federal regulatory requirements as an option in consideration for payment by
Client to Fiserv of the applicable license and maintenance fees for such
Enhancement. In addition to the foregoing, Fiserv shall have the right to xxxx
Client the full amount of any increases in third party telecommunication costs,
network pass-through fees or other out of pocket expenses incurred on behalf of
Client as of the same effective date such increases are billed to Fiserv. Any
services in addition to the Services provided under this Agreement shall be
added by mutual written agreement between the parties by following the Change
Control Process outlined in Appendix 3.
(b) Additional Charges.
Fees for out-of-pocket expenses, such as telephone, courier, and other charges
reasonably incurred by Fiserv for goods or services obtained by Fiserv on
Client's request and behalf shall be billed to Client at cost plus the
applicable Fiserv administrative fee of 15% ("Admin Fee"). Such out-of pocket
expenses may be changed from time to time upon notification of a fee change from
a vendor/provider. Fiserv will obtain Client's approval prior to incurring such
out-of pocket expenses on Client's behalf.
Fiserv
shall xxxx and Client shall pay for travel and related expenses incurred in
relation to the Services in this Agreement, and, as applicable, such expenses
shall be incurred in accordance with Fiserv's then-current corporate travel and
expense policy. Fiserv has provided to Client Fiserv's current corporate travel
and expense policy as of July 2008. Upon Client's request or at least annually,
Fiserv shall provide Client a copy of Fiserv's then current corporate travel and
expense policy. All expenses shall be itemized on invoices submitted by Fiserv
monthly as incurred and shall be due and payable upon presentation of each
invoice as provided herein. Client may directly arrange and pay for travel or
related expenses for Fiserv staff through Client favorable relationships
provided such travel and related arrangements are coordinated with Fiserv
staff.
(c) Taxes. Fiserv shall
add to each invoice any sales, use, excise, value added, and other taxes and
duties however designated that are levied by any taxing authority relating to
the Fiserv Services ("Taxes"). Taxes shall
be detailed and noted separately on each applicable invoice. In no event shall
"Taxes" include taxes based upon Fiserv's net income.
(d) Payment Terms. Fees
are due and payable monthly upon receipt of invoice. Client shall pay Fiserv
through the Automated Clearing House in accordance with the ACH designation form
attached as Appendix I to this Agreement unless otherwise set forth in the
Exhibits. In the event any invoiced amounts remain unpaid 30 days after payment
is due, Client shall pay a monthly late charge of the lesser of 1.5% or the
highest amount allowed by law. Client shall neither make nor assert any right of
deduction or set-off from Fees invoiced for Fiserv Services provided except as
set forth in this Section 2 (d). If Fiserv and Client mutually agree in writing
that a credit is due to Client and Fiserv has not issued such credit within 10
days Client may set-off or deduct the amount of such agreed credit from the next
amount due. If Client disputes any invoice item, Client shall provide written
notice to Fiserv within 30 days of the invoice date specifying in detail the
nature of the disagreement. Client and Fiserv shall work in good faith to
resolve such dispute within 15 days of receiving such detail or within such
other time period as is mutually agreed in writing between the parties. If such
dispute is not resolved within such time period, the parties shall escalate the
dispute through the dispute resolution process in Section 10 of this Agreement.
During the dispute resolution process, Client shall have the right to withhold
payment of such disputed item or fee and Fiserv shall not have the right to
terminate for such withheld payment.

(i) procure for Client the right to continue to use Software or (ii)
provide a replacement or modification for Software, that is non-infringing
and continues to function in accordance with the Documentation, so as to
settle such claim. If neither Software replacement or modification nor

for the infringing Software or Software component upon written notice to
Client and shall refund to Client the Total License Fees paid for such
Software or Software component to Fiserv. In making this determination,
Fiserv will give due consideration to all factors, including financial
expense. In no event shall Fiserv settle any such Third Party claim by
making an agreement which would cause Client to lose any right under this
Agreement without Client's prior written consent. In the event that such
terminated License relates to a component of Software which is deployed in
providing a dependent Service Client shall have the right to terminate
such Service without a termination fee being
due.

(ii)
deconverts any data or information from the Fiserv System either without

The
Termination Fee for termination of a particular Fiserv Service or Exhibit shall
be calculated by taking as the prorata share of the average Monthly Services
Fees for the Fiserv Service being terminated for the 6-month period preceding
the effective date of termination divided by the average Total Monthly Services
Fees for the Fiserv Services for the 6-month period preceding the effective date
of termination times the Termination Fee amount in the table herein, Monthly
Services Fees shall mean the Monthly Fees specific to the Fiserv Services
provided in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement and excluding pass-through charges.
Client agrees to reimburse Fiserv for any expenses Fiserv may incur, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, in taking any of the foregoing actions.
(e) Convenience; Early
Termination. Client may at its option terminate the Account Processing
Services set forth Exhibits A and related A - n beginning in June, 2012 with no
Termination Fee and move such processing to Client's data center or other Client
designated data center, provided such data center is not a managed facility of a
Fiserv Competitor as set forth in Appendix 4 to this Agreement and subject to
the Client remaining current in its license and maintenance obligations as set
forth in Exhibits M and related M - n. If Client terminates this Agreement or
reduces or terminates Fiserv Services for any reason other than pursuant to
Section 9 (b)(i), Client shall pay a termination fee based on the Termination
Fee Table in this Section 9. For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Fee
shall not apply to a normal attrition of volumes for which Services are
provided, provided that such attrition of volumes does not also constitute a
breach of Section 12(l) of the Agreement.
(f) Liquidated Damages.
Client understands and agrees that Fiserv losses incurred as a result of early
termination of the Agreement would be difficult or impossible to calculate as of
the effective date of termination since they will vary based on, among other
things, the number of Clients using the Fiserv System on
the date
the Agreement terminates. Accordingly, the amounts set forth in Sections 9 (d)
and (e) represent Client's agreement to pay and Fiserv's agreement to accept as
liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) such amount for any such
termination.
(g) Duty to Mitigate.
Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and will cooperate with
the other party, to minimize any damages or other costs resulting from
termination hereunder.
(h) Termination Assistance
Services. Promptly following Client giving or receiving any notice of
termination under this Agreement, Client, if it desires Fiserv's assistance in
affecting an orderly transition from Fiserv Services to the services of itself
or a third party during the termination assistance service period ("Transition
Services"), shall request such Transition Services. The scope of Transition
Services shall be mutually agreed in writing between the parties. Client shall
pay Fiserv at its then current contracted services rates, as set forth in
Exhibit 1, for the in scope Transition Services. Client shall pay Fiserv at its
then current published rates for those Transition Services that are not in scope
of or contemplated in this Agreement. Client shall also pay to Fiserv all then
due outstanding Fees, including, if any, Termination Fees, Services Fees due,
owing, or becoming due as part of Termination. Fiserv shall not be obligated to
perform any Transition Services prior to receipt of all outstanding Fees from
Client. In the event of termination by Fiserv for Client's failure of Client to
pay Fees, Client shall pay all Fees associated with the Transition Services as
well as the applicable Fiserv Services to be provided through the projected date
of termination, (hereinafter "End Date"), in advance of Fiserv's provision of
any such Services. In all other cases Client payments for Fees shall continue in
accordance with the Agreement. On the End Date, Client shall make payment of all
remaining Fees prior to Fiserv providing Client's final customer data
files.
(i) Deconversion Charges.
Client agrees to pay Fiserv's then-current deconversion charges in connection
with Client's deconversion from the Fiserv System. Upon termination or
cancellation of the Card Services set forth in Exhibit G, the Fiserv fee for
deconversion is $2,500.00 and Client shall pay for destruction or shipping of
any plastic card stock and related materials owned by Client in Fiserv's
possession.
(j) For
the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Agreement and its Exhibits remain
in full force and effect through and including the End Date. The quality and
level of performance through and including the End Date shall not be degraded.
After End Date, Fiserv shall, at Client's expense (1) answer questions from
Client regarding the terminated Services on an "as needed' basis and
(2)
Fiserv
Confidential
Page 9 of
250
deliver
to Client or destroy any remaining Client-owned reports, data and documentation
relating to the terminated Services still in Fiserv's possession. Any
programming required to provide such information to Client will be billed as per
Section 9(h) above.
(k) The
termination of the Agreement or Exhibit M shall automatically, and without
further action by Fiserv, terminate and extinguish the license granted under
Exhibit M, and all rights in and to the Software System shall automatically
revert irrevocably to Fiserv. Fiserv shall have the right to require Client
cease use of the Software and Fiserv shall have the right to take immediate
possession of the Software System and all copies thereof wherever located
without further notice or demand.
(1) Upon
any termination or expiration of Exhibit D, Client understands and agrees that
all rights of Customers with respect to the Products, BANKLINK Software, and
Fiserv trademarks related to such shall automatically cease and
terminate.
(m)
Fiserv reserves the right, without any liability to Client or its Customers, to
terminate the telecommunication component of Exhibit D at any time upon prior
written notice to Client in the event the relationship between Fiserv and
applicable third party suppliers of services or products terminates, which
termination would adversely affect Fiserv's ability to perform this Exhibit. In
such event, Fiserv shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such
third party supply of telecommunication component to avoid adverse impact on
Fiserv's provision of the Services.
(n) Service
Modifications. In connection with Fiserv' provision of WireXchange
Services, either party may terminate WireXchange Services, or any part thereof,
without Termination Fee, immediately upon notice to the other party of any
legislative, regulatory, or judicial (i) impairment of the provision thereof;
and/or (ii) restrictions or conditions that would materially affect the
integrity thereof.
(p)
Holdover. Upon any termination or expiration of Exhibit B, Item Processing
Services provided subsequent to the initial End Date will be charged at
then-current fees being charged to Client, plus a holdover premium of 25% for
all Item Processing Services provided after the originally-scheduled End
Date.
10. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Informal. Before initiating
arbitration or other legal action against the other relating to a dispute
herein, the parties agree to work in good faith to resolve disputes and claims
arising out of this Agreement. To this end, either party may request in writing
that within two business days of receipt of a notice from either Party
specifying the nature of the dispute each party will designate an officer or
other management employee with authority to bind such party to meet to resolve
the dispute or claim. If the dispute is not resolved within 15 days of the
commencement of informal efforts under this paragraph, either party may request
in writing that within two business days of receipt of a notice from either
Party specifying the nature of the dispute escalate the issue to a higher level
of management employee within each party to work in good faith to resolve the
dispute or claim. If the dispute is not resolved within 10 days of the
commencement of this second level of informal effort under this subsection 10
(a), either party may pursue formal dispute resolution. This paragraph will not
apply if. (i) expiration of the applicable time for bringing an action is
imminent; or (ii) injunctive or other equitable relief is necessary to protect a
party's proprietary rights.
(b) Arbitration. Except
with respect to disputes arising from a misappropriation or misuse of either
party's proprietary rights, any dispute or controversy arising out of this
Agreement or its interpretation that is not resolved under Section 10(a), may be
submitted to and resolved by arbitration under the then prevailing rules of
Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (JAMS). A party seeking
arbitration shall submit written notice of its request for arbitration to the
other party, setting forth the specifics of the claim being made. If the parties
agree to arbitrate such dispute, a formal demand for arbitration shall be
submitted to JAMS by such requesting party. The arbitration shall be heard
before an arbitrator mutually agreeable to the parties; provided, that if the
parties cannot agree on the choice of arbitrator within 10 days after the
parties agree to arbitrate, then the arbitration shall be heard by 3
arbitrators, 1 chosen by each party, and the third chosen by those 2
arbitrators. The arbitrators will be selected from a panel of persons having
experience with and knowledge of information technology and at least 1 of the
arbitrators selected will be an attorney. Discovery shall not be permitted. A
hearing on the merits of all claims for which arbitration is sought by either
party shall be commenced not later than 60 days from the date demand for
arbitration is submitted to JAMS. The arbitrator(s) must render a decision
within 10 days after the conclusion of such hearing. Any award in such
arbitration shall be final
Fiserv
Confidential
Page 10
of 250
and
binding upon the parties and the judgment thereon may be entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
(c) Applicable Law. The
arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
§§1-16 and the Federal Rules of Evidence. The arbitrators shall apply the
substantive law of the State of Pennsylvania, without reference to provisions
relating to conflict of laws. The arbitrators shall not have the power to alter,
modify, amend, add to, or subtract from any term or provision of this Agreement,
nor to grant any extension, renewal, or continuance of this Agreement. The
arbitrators shall have the authority to grant any legal remedy available had the
parties submitted the dispute to a judicial proceeding.
(d) Situs. If arbitration
is used to resolve any disputes between the parties, the proceedings to resolve
any such dispute shall be held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
11. Audit. (a) General. Fiserv
employs an internal auditor responsible for ensuring the integrity of its
processing environments and internal controls. In addition, Fiserv provides for
periodic independent audits of its operations, which shall include an annual
SAS-70 Type II audit to the extent required by law or regulation. Fiserv shall
provide Client with a copy of such independent audit report of the Fiserv
service center providing Services within a reasonable time after its completion,
where such time shall not exceed [ 30 days ]. Fiserv will meet with Client
within a reasonable period of time after receipt of Client's written request to
review deficiencies, if any, noted in such audit report. Fiserv will develop and
implement an action plan to address and resolve any material deficiencies within
a commercially reasonable time at Fiserv's expense.
(b) Regulatory. As
specifically permitted by law and regulation, Fiserv acknowledges and agrees
that regulators shall be permitted to audit Fiserv's performance under this
Agreement at any time during Fiserv's normal business hours.
(c) Billing Records. Upon
Client's reasonable request in writing, Fiserv shall provide Client with
documentation supporting the amounts invoiced by Fiserv hereunder for the
12-month period preceding such Client request. If such documentation reveals the
amounts paid to Fiserv exceed the amounts to which Fiserv is entitled and such
amounts are independently verified, Fiserv shall promptly remit the amount of
such overpayment.
(d) Regulatory Reported
Issue. In the event Client's regulator identifies an area of deficiency
in Client's business operations that is directly provided by Fiserv through
Fiserv Services and requires Client to obtain an independent audit of such
function or service, or if such regulator issues a criticism or directive that
Client reasonably believes requires an independent audit of such function or
service, Client shall have the right to request that Fiserv have such deficiency
included in Fiserv's next SAS70 type II audit if such audit is to begin
within [ 90 ] days of Client's and Fiserv's mutual written agreement of the
scope, or Fiserv shall initiate a targeted audit of such function or service for
the specific issue(s) raised by the regulator within [ 90 ] days of Client's and
Fiserv's mutual written agreement of the scope at Client's expense. In such
event, Client and Fiserv shall mutually agree upon the scope of such audit,
ensuring that such scope is consistent with the direction of the regulator.
Fiserv shall review the results of such audit with Client for the purpose of
addressing Client's regulator's claim of deficiency. Fiserv will develop and
implement an action plan to address and resolve any material deficiencies within
a commercially reasonable time at Fiserv's expense.

in the event of a Disaster.
(iii)

Test. Fiserv shall test the Disaster Recovery Plan annually. Client

interruption insurance or other insurance necessary for Client's
protection.
(f) Lost Records. If
Client's records or other data submitted for processing are lost or damaged as a
result of any failure by Fiserv, its employees, or agents to exercise reasonable
care to prevent such loss or damage, Fiserv's liability on account of such loss
or damages shall not exceed the reasonable cost of reproducing such records or
data from exact duplicates thereof in Client's possession.

due and all Fiserv Services provided through the date such final Client Files
are returned to Client; (B) Fiserv is paid in accordance with section 9 h

Agreement with any of its Exhibits upon (a) Fiserv's prior written consent

hereunder; provided that any such subcontractors shall be required to comply
with all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, such
subcontractor(s) shall be on-shore unless Fiserv and Client mutually agree
otherwise, and Fiserv shall remain primarily liable for the performance of any
such subcontractors.
(c) Entire Agreement;
Amendments. This Agreement, including its Exhibits and Appendices (if
any), which are expressly incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the
complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between the parties as to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes the Letter of Engagement dated July 23,
2008 and its extension and the Confidentiality and Non-disclosure Agreement
dated April 1, 2008 each executed between the parties, and all other previous
agreements with respect thereto. Each party hereby acknowledges that it has not
entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any representation made by the
other party not embodied herein. Modifications of this Agreement must be in a
writing which follows the Change Control Policy of this Agreement and signed by
duly authorized representatives of the parties. In the event the provisions of
any Exhibit conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall
control unless the applicable Exhibit expressly provides that its provisions
control.
(e) Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, the other
provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
(f) Governing Law; Jury Trial
Waiver. This Agreement will be governed by the substantive laws of the
State of Pennsylvania without reference to provisions relating to conflict of
laws. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. Both parties agree to waive any right
to have a jury participate in the resolution of any dispute or claim between the
parties or any of their respective affiliates arising under this
Agreement.
(g) Force Majeure.
Neither party shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance
resulting from acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, fire, food,
strikes, war, epidemics, pandemics, shortage of power, or other acts or causes
reasonably beyond the control of that party. For clarity, failure of either
party's subcontractors to perform shall not be considered a Force Majeure event.
Each party shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the impact of a
Force Majeure event. The party experiencing the force majeure event agrees to
give the other party notice promptly following the occurrence of a force majeure
event, and to use diligent efforts to recommence performance as promptly as
commercially practicable. In the event that Fiserv is unable to resume the
affected Service in 30 days, Client may, at its option treat such failure as a
breach entitling Client to terminate the affected Service in a manner provided
in Section 9 (b) without payment of termination fees pursuant to Section 9 of
this Agreement.
(h) Notices. Any written
notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given

confirmed facsimile; or (iii) nationally recognized overnight courier service to
the other party at the addresses listed on the cover page or to such other
address or person as a party may designate in writing. All such notices shall be
effective upon receipt.
(i) No Waiver. The
failure of either party to insist on strict performance of any of the provisions
hereunder shall not be construed as the waiver of any subsequent default of a
similar nature.
(j) Prevailing Party. The
prevailing party in any arbitration, suit, or action brought against the other
party to enforce the terms of this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder, shall be entitled to receive its reasonable costs, expenses, and
reasonable attorneys' fees of bringing such arbitration, suit, or
action.
(k) Survival. All rights
and obligations of the parties under this Agreement that, by their nature, do
not terminate with the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Agreement, including but not limited to
the rights and obligations of the parties described in Sections 3(b); 4(a); 8;
9(h); 10; 12(g).
(1) Exclusivity. Client
agrees that Fiserv shall be the sole and exclusive provider of the services that
are the subject matter of this Agreement. For purposes of the foregoing, the
term "Client" shall include Client affiliates. Client agrees not to enter into
an agreement with any other entity to provide these services (or similar
services), and not to perform these services (or similar services) for itself,
during the term of this Agreement (i) without Fiserv's prior written consent or
(ii) unless terminated under the provisions of the Agreement. If Client acquires
another entity, the exclusivity provided to Fiserv hereunder shall apply with
respect to the level or volume of services being provided by Fiserv immediately
prior to the signing of the definitive acquisition agreement relating to such
acquisition and shall take effect with respect to such acquired entity as soon
as practicable after expiration or Client's choice for earlier termination of
such acquired entity's previously existing arrangement for these services. For
clarity, this does not require Client to terminate such existing arrangement
early. If Client is acquired by another entity, the exclusivity provided to
Fiserv hereunder shall apply with respect to the level or volume of services
provided immediately prior to the signing of the definitive acquisition
agreement relating to such acquisition and shall continue with respect to the
level or volume of such services until any termination or expiration of this
Agreement.
(m) Recruitment of
Employees. Neither party shall, without the other party's prior written
consent, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire any Restricted
Employee (as defined herein) within the 12-month period starting on the earlier
of. (i) termination of such Restricted Employee's employment, or (ii)
termination or expiration of this Agreement. "Restricted Employee" means any
former or current employee of a party of whom the other party became aware or
came into contact with during Fiserv's provision of Services under this
Agreement. This restriction shall not preclude either party from hiring
Restricted Employees of the other party who respond to a public advertisement
not targeted at such Restricted Employees.
(n) Publicity. Client and
Fiserv shall have the right to make general references about each other and the
type of services being provided hereunder to third parties, such as auditors,
regulators, financial analysts, and prospective customers and Clients, provided
that in so doing Client or Fiserv does not breach Section 3 of this Agreement.
The parties may mutually agree on a press release relating to the execution of
this Agreement. In conjunction with this, the party initiating such release
shall give the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and approve the
content thereof prior to its release.

independent contractors and under no circumstances shall any of the employees of
one party be deemed the employees of the other for any purpose. This Agreement

herein.
