Background
----------
MAS operates an electronic fund transfer network using the federally registered
service xxxx and logo, "MAC(R)" and known as the "MAC(R) Network" which includes
automated teller machine, point of banking and point of sale terminals
identified by the registered MAC service marks and accessed by using certain
plastic cards with magnetically encoded stripes issued by participating
financial institutions to their account holders allowing such account holders to
perform certain banking, financial and purchase transactions. MAC Participant
desires to participate in the MAC Network, issue MAC cards to its depositors
and, if it elects to do so, operate MAC terminals.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises herein contained, MAS
and MAC Participant agree to be legally bound by the terms of this Agreement as
hereinafter set forth.
1. DEFINED TERMS. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise
described herein shall have the meanings set forth in the MAC Rules.
2. MAC NETWORK PARTICIPATION. MAS agrees to provide you with access to the MAC
Network, a license to use the MAC Marks and processing of Transaction requests
by your MAC Cardholders through the MAC Switch, all of which shall comprise the
MAC Network services. You agree to participate in the MAC Network in accordance
with the following:
a. Access to the MAC Network. We agree to provide you with access to the MAC
Switch and other resources necessary to receive and process Transaction requests
made by your MAC Cardholders at MAC Terminals which are linked to the MAC
Network and owned, operated or sponsored by other MAC Participants, ATOs and
Merchants participating in the MAC Network.
b. Processing MAC Transaction Requests. We agree to receive at our MAC Switch
and to process on your behalf requests, messages and other material and items
transmitted to you through us by and from other MAC Participants, ATOs and
Merchants operating MAC Terminals as a result of the use of MAC Cards by your
MAC Cardholders. We will process these Transactions on your behalf in accordance
with our MAC Rules and your instructions.
c. MAC Network Processing Options. As a MAC Participant, we agree that you shall
have the right to choose your method of connection to and processing in our MAC
Network from the following options:
(i) You may choose to use MAS as a processor to authorize Transactions conducted
by your Cardholders and/or, at your option, to operate, control, supervise and
monitor any of your MAC Terminals. If you choose this option you agree to enter
into a separate agreement with MAS for its processing services.
(ii) You may operate as a Direct Intercept Processor to authorize your own
Transactions and operate, control, supervise and monitor the MAC Terminals you
operate through your own self-operated computer facilities. If you choose to
operate in this manner you must establish a direct communications link to our
MAC Switch and satisfactorily complete Certification with the MAC Network.
(iii) You may choose to use the services of another Processor to authorize
Transactions conducted by your Cardholders and/or to operate, control, supervise
and monitor any MAC Terminals you operate as well. Further, you may choose to
share these responsibilities with a Processor by performing either of these
functions for yourself while using the Processor to perform the other service.
Or, you may choose to
authorize your own Transactions and operate, control, supervise and monitor the
MAC Terminals you operate but connect to the MAC Switch through another
Processor. If you choose any variation of this option, you must designate such
Processor to us and such Processor must meet the standards for third party
Processors under the MAC Rules, enter into a MAC Processor Agreement with us,
establish a communications link to our MAC Switch and satisfactorily complete
Certification with the MAC Network.
You shall indicate your selection of processing options to us on the
Specification Form which you complete in accordance with our instructions.
3. LICENSE TO USE MAC MARKS. MAS owns the MAC Marks which are the federally
registered service marks of the terms MONEY ACCESS CARD(R), MONEY ACCESS
CENTER(R), MONEY ACCESS SERVICE(R) and MAC(R) with related symbols and logos.
MAS also owns certain other federally registered service marks using MAC or a
derivative thereof. For the term of this Agreement, MAS hereby grants to you a
nonexclusive, non-transferable license, without a right of sublicense, to use
the MAC Marks in compliance with MAC Graphic Standards on MAC Terminals, Cards,
signs and various forms of marketing materials. To preserve the integrity of the
MAC Marks, we shall have the right to approve your first use of the MAC Marks
and thereafter, from time to time, may inspect your records of use or collect
samples of your use of the MAC Marks during the term of this Agreement. The MAC
license will terminate immediately and without further action by us if you use
the MAC Marks in any manner without our consent other than as provided herein or
upon any termination of this Agreement.
4. MAC NETWORK RULES. The MAC Network has adopted rules and regulations,
policies, operating procedures, Transaction routing requirements, MAC Graphic
Standards and technical specifications and requirements, including but not
limited to Transaction sets, message formats, receipt requirements, Cardholder

HNC Software in such User's possession.
5. LIMITED LIABILITY. REGARDLESS WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN
ANY OF HNC'S LIMITED WARRANTIES FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, HNC
AND/OR MAS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR FOR
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES
SUFFERED BY USER OR OTHERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS ADDENDUM, THE HNC
SOFTWARE, THE DOCUMENTATION OR ANY OTHER HNC PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, FOR ALL
CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TORT, CONTRACT,
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY AND BREACH OF WARRANTY) EVEN IF HNC HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
6. LIMIT ON MAXIMUM LIABILITY. HNC'S AND MAS'S TOTAL COLLECTIVE LIABILITY
TO USER UNDER THIS ADDENDUM WILL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE TOTAL DOLLARS PAID BY
USER OR MAS UNDER THIS ADDENDUM (EXCLUSIVE OF REIMBURSED EXPENSES) FOR THE HNC
SOFTWARE DURING THE FIRST TWELVE (12) MONTHS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR DURING THE
TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE CAUSE OF ACTION RESULTING IN
SUCH LIABILITY ACCRUED, WHICHEVER AMOUNT IS GREATER.
7. User acknowledges that the HNC Software contains confidential and
proprietary information belonging to HNC and its licensors (if any). User shall
use reasonable efforts to hold the HNC Software and Documentation in confidence
and shall not knowingly or negligently disclose or use the HNC Software except
as permitted by this Agreement. As used herein, "reasonable efforts" means at
least the same degree of care to safeguard and preserve the confidentiality of
HNC's and its licensors' confidential and proprietary information as User would
exercise with respect to User's own confidential information, which shall not be
less than a reasonable standard of care. User shall not use the HNC Software
other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement. User's obligations of
confidentiality under this Section and User's obligations under Section 3 above
shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason for a period of
five (5) years. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, User agrees
that in the event that User breaches any of the provisions contained in this
Agreement then, MAS and/or HNC shall be authorized and entitled to seek from any
court of competent jurisdiction (i) a temporary restraining order, (ii)
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief; and (iii) an equitable accounting
for all profits or benefits arising out of such breach. Such rights or remedies
shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which MAS
and/or HNC may be entitled.
8. User shall be in default of this Agreement if: (a) User breaches any
confidentiality obligation and does not cure such breach within ten (10) days
after notice thereof by MAS; or (b) User materially breaches any other
obligation contained in this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within
thirty (30) days after notice thereof by MAS. If User defaults, MAS may
terminate this Agreement and require User to destroy or return to MAS all copies
of the HNC Software in User's possession.
9. Consortium Data. As a condition of being permitted to use the HNC
Software, User agrees to provide MAS with Client Fraud Data (as such term is
defined below) which will be submitted by MAS to HNC on behalf of User. MAS and
HNC will treat such data as the Confidential Information of User. HNC shall use
such Client Fraud Data only in performing services in accordance with this
Addendum. Such Client Fraud Data will be incorporated by HNC into the
appropriate consortium database on an anonymous basis and User hereby agrees
that such Client Fraud Data (as so incorporated into the consortium database)
may be perpetually used by HNC without charge to develop models related to the
given HNC Software product, reports and consulting activities that will be used
by HNC and its customers. HNC shall also own any derived variables from such
data. Such data will only be made available to those employees of HNC who need
such information in order to perform their responsibilities hereunder.
For purposes of this Addendum, "Client Fraud Data" shall mean current data
and information of User, which information is collected by MAS on a go-forward
basis from the effective date of this Addendum and incorporated into a
proprietary data base containing data of other HNC clients which is used by HNC
for developing "consortium" models and algorithms for use with the HNC Software.
User acknowledges and agrees that Client Fraud Data submitted to MAS for
use in the Fraud Control Consortium will be formatted as reasonably specified by
MAS. If User fails to meet such requirements, User acknowledges and agrees that
HNC may, in its discretion, exclude any unfit and/or unsuitable Client Fraud
Data submitted by User to the Fraud Control Consortium. In such event, User's
data will not be included in the Fraud Control Consortium and, as such, User
acknowledges and agrees that User may receive diminished benefits from the Fraud
Control Consortium.
10. Assignment. User shall not, without the prior written consent of MAS,
assign or transfer this Addendum. Such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. However, MAS may, in its discretion, withhold consent to any
assignment of this Agreement (and such withholding of consent will be deemed to
be reasonable) where: (i) such assignment is to a competitor of HNC (for
purposes of this Addendum, a "competitor of HNC" is defined as one which offers
a software solution which purports to solve the same problems as the HNC
Software, and other similar products in HNC's product line); and (ii) the
assignee is located outside the United States and/or Canada.
