EXHIBIT
A
EXPEDITED
PAYMENTS SERVICES
1. Description
Expedited
Payments” shall mean payments that are initiated via the Expedited Payments User
Interface available in the Branded Website or payments initiated with the
Expedited Payment indicator via Web Services. These payments are processed when
received instead of waiting for the payment processing cutoff time defined in
XXXX PAYMENT MANAGER SERVICE LEVEL SCHEDULE and are remitted via ACH or
overnight check according to the Payee managed lead times as established by the
client.
2. Payment Funding, Fees, and
Settlement. Prior to submission by the End User of an Expedited Payment
request to Metavante, Customer is responsible for authenticating End Users and
their associated funding account information. Electronic payments funded from an
End User’s DDA will be initiated as soon as possible, utilizing the ACH for
funds clearing. If Customer chooses to implement a “direct check” model,
Customer agrees to authorize Metavante to initiate “direct check” transactions
on behalf of End Users requesting overnight check Expedited
Payments.
Subject
to the specifications of the Customer, the End User may incur fees for some or
all types of Expedited Payments. Fees will be collected directly from the End
User on behalf of the Customer as a separate transaction to the End User’s DDA,
and will be initialed upon receipt of the Expedited Payment request. If a
convenience fee is returned to Metavante, and Metavante is unable to retrieve
the convenience fee from End User, the Customer is solely responsible for
further collection of fees from End User. Metavante will settle with Customer on
a monthly basis for the total of Expedited Payment convenience fees collected
throughout the month. If Metavante has settled with Customer for a convenience
fee which was later determined to be uncollectible, Customer will reimburse
Metavante.
Metavante
will complete the Expedited Payment requests in accordance with the delivery
date provided to the End User or Customer by Metavante. In the event that an
Expedited Payment processed by Metavante is past due, the Late Fee
Responsibility Schedule will apply.
3. Limitations.
Expedited e-payments are available for a limited number of payees. Availability
of Expedited Payment options will be limited based on xxxxxx capabilities, time
of day, payment delivery mechanisms and other factors. Expedited overnight
checks will be unavailable for delivery to PO Box addresses or locations in AK,
HI, or any foreign or U.S. territory outside of the contiguous 48 states and
District of Columbia. The End User is responsible for entering and verifying any
address for overnight check payments to ensure it is correct and is specified as
a valid overnight package address by the xxxxxx.
Due to
the inherent need to expedite the payment, payment instructions will be
completed immediately upon submission of a request from a End User. The End User
will not have the ability to edit or cancel the payment instruction after he has
confirmed the payment request.

met:
1. The
Payment Date occurs on or prior to the Payment Due Date.
2. Either
(a) the Payment Due Date occurs on or after the Payment Delivery Date, or (b) if
no Payment Delivery Date applies, the Payment Due Date occurs after either (i)
the third business day after the Payment Request Date for electronic payments,
or (ii) the fifth business day after the Payment Request Date for payments by
check or draft.
Metavante
will attempt on behalf of the End User to have late fees reversed or waived,
even when payments have not been timely initiated. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Metavante will not reimburse any amount of late fees in connection
with court ordered payments or payments to government entities. Metavante
reserves the right to require proof of payment of any late fee by the End User
prior to reimbursing Customer or the End User.
**Delay
by Merchant electronic payments is the responsibility of Metavante.
**Delay
by Merchant for check payments is the responsibility of the End
User.
