(i) use the Confidential Information only for the purpose this agreement contemplates;
(ii) restrict disclosure of the Confidential Information to: (A) employees, contractors, subcontractors, agents, and consultants of Recipient and (B) legal, financial, and tax advisors of the Recipient; and in each case, (I) provided the persons described in subsections (A), (B), and (C) of this section 4(a)(ii) of schedule A are subject to legal obligations to the Recipient restricting disclosure and use of confidential or proprietary information to the degree necessary to comply with the provisions in section 4 of schedule A; and (II) in each case only to the extent each such person has a need to know (each, a “Permitted Party”);
(iii) not disclose the Confidential Information to any other person or entity apart from those described in paragraph (ii) above without the prior written consent of the party that disclosed the Confidential Information hereunder (“Discloser”);

Page 5 of 26 |
(v) copy the Confidential Information only as necessary for the purposes this agreement contemplates, and ensure that all confidentiality notices that may appear on the originals are reproduced in full on such copies.
(b) Return of Confidential Information. Confidential Information, including permitted copies, shall be deemed the property of the Discloser; provided that the terms of this agreement shall be deemed the joint property of Visa and Merchant. Except as necessary to effect the limited purpose for which its Confidential Information was disclosed under this agreement, the Discloser does not grant to the Recipient any right or license under, in or to any intellectual property or other right of the Discloser that may pertain to such Confidential Information. Promptly upon the written request of Discloser, the Recipient will return to the Discloser, or at Recipient’s option destroy, all physical embodiments of Discloser’s Confidential Information (or any designated portion thereof), including all copies thereof, to the Discloser. The Recipient also shall certify in writing that it has satisfied its obligations under this Paragraph within ten calendar days of a written request by the Discloser.
(c) Definition of Confidential Information and Need to Know.
(i) Subject to subsection (c)(ii) of this section 4, “Confidential Information” refers to: (A) the terms of this agreement and (B) any information or data disclosed by the Discloser which: (I) if in tangible form, is marked clearly as proprietary or confidential; (II) if oral, is identified as proprietary, confidential, or private on disclosure; or (III) regardless of the form in which it is embodied or the manner in which it is disclosed, the Recipient should reasonably understand to be confidential; provided, however, that such information or data is provided under or in contemplation of this agreement (including without limitation, the financial terms of the proposal that Visa provided to USAT in order to facilitate USAT’s internal evaluation of such proposal and the negotiations that led to this agreement); and as used in paragraph (a)(ii) above, “need to know” means that the Permitted Party requires the Confidential Information to perform its responsibilities in connection with this agreement.
(ii) The term “Confidential Information” excludes information that Recipient can demonstrate: (A) is or becomes available to the public through no breach of this agreement; (B) was previously known by the Recipient without any obligation to hold it in confidence; (C) is received from a third party who Recipient reasonably believes is free to disclose such information without restriction; or (D) is independently developed by the Recipient without the use of Confidential Information of the Discloser.
(d) Exceptions. Either party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information: (i) if the other party provides its prior written approval or (ii) in response to a court order or a requirement of law, regulation, or a governmental body of the United States or any political subdivisions thereof applicable to the Recipient or its Affiliate (a “Required Disclosure”), but only to the extent of and for the purposes of such Required Disclosure, and only if the Recipient (to the extent legally permitted) first notifies the Discloser of the Required Disclosure and affords the Discloser a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to seek an appropriate protective order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose this agreement pursuant to a Required Disclosure and may do so without prior notice to the other party provided that this agreement is designated as “Highly Confidential -- Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only” under an applicable protective order or confidentiality agreement or is otherwise protected from disclosure to third parties by operation of law.
(e) USAT Communications with its Prospective Merchant Clients. Visa recognizes that in order for USAT to offer to provide the benefits of the Promotional IRF Rates to its prospective merchant clients, USAT will need to share with prospective merchant clients: (i) the Merchant Participation Requirements (defined in section B of schedule C) and (ii) the rate of Promotional IRF Rates. To accommodate that, Visa agrees that communications (written or oral) from USAT to its prospective merchant clients that include: (i) the Merchant Participation Requirements and/or (ii) the rate of the Visa Debit Regulated Promotional IRF will not be deemed to be Visa Confidential Information so long as (1) each prospective merchant client is subject to legal obligations to USAT restricting disclosure and use of confidential or proprietary information to the degree necessary to comply with the provisions in this section 4, and (2) those communications (written and oral) do not in any way communicate or imply that Visa is the source of or in any way associated with (except, to the extent that the transactions subject of the communication are identified as Visa Card transactions): (A) the offer that USAT is making to its prospective merchants or (B) the Merchant Participation Requirements and the Promotional IRF Rates. For the avoidance of doubt, apart from the no-attribution to Visa, the foregoing and nothing in this agreement limits or sets requirements on USAT regarding the offers (including without limitation pricing and terms) that USAT may choose to make to its merchant clients, existing or prospective.

For purposes of this agreement, “material breach” means, with respect to a given breach, that a reasonable person in the position of the non-breaching party would wish to terminate this agreement because of that breach.
(b) Automatic Termination. This agreement will terminate immediately and automatically in the event that USAT is placed into receivership with a governmental entity, or a petition is filed by or against USAT under applicable bankruptcy law seeking the liquidation of USAT’s assets (and, in the case of a petition filed against USAT, such petition is not dismissed within thirty calendar days).
(c) Visa’s Termination Rights Upon USAT Change of Control; Termination for Convenience.
(i) Visa may terminate this agreement without liability if USAT is subject to a Change of Control event whereby USAT is controlled or acquired by a direct competitor of Visa.

(e) Effect of Termination or Expiration. All obligations and rights under this agreement will cease immediately and automatically as of the effective date of termination of this agreement or its expiration, and any provision that by its terms expressly survives or needs to survive to give effect to its purpose will also survive the termination or expiration of this agreement. The termination or expiration of this agreement will not have any effect on the VisaNet Agreement or USAT’s participation in the Visa payment system.
6. TERRITORY; SCOPE; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
(a) The incentives offered under schedule B of this agreement only apply to Visa Card transactions (i) that are referenced in schedule B and (ii) that originate at the Included Merchant Locations.

(d) Apart from the express obligations of Visa set forth in this agreement, Visa shall have no other obligation to USAT under or arising out of this agreement.

Any change to this agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party.

This agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated by the parties and their respective counsel.
(h) Force Majeure.

(l) Counterparts. This agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which will constitute one and the same instrument. The agreement may also be signed and transmitted by email or facsimile, with such signature to be treated as an original and the document transmitted to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original document. At the request of either party, any emailed or facsimiled document shall be re-executed in original form by the parties who signed the emailed or facsimiled document.
