2. LICENSE GRANT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Exhibit A hereto, MyECheck hereby grants to Licensee (and its successors and assigns as permitted herein) a perpetual, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as otherwise expressly set forth herein), enterprise-wide right and license to use, maintain, modify, enhance and create derivative works from the Software (in object code form only and only in accordance with the Documentation) and the Documentation for Licensee's business use in accordance with the provisions of Section 3, and to make as many backup (non-use other than for disaster testing and recovery purposes) copies as may be necessary, provided that Licensee shall keep a record of each such backup copy and the location of its storage, and shall provide any and all such records to MyECheck upon request. Licensee must reproduce and include any and all copyright, proprietary and any other notices that appear on the original Software and any media therefore on any copies made by Licensee. Licensee may exercise its rights hereunder through third party subcontractors for the sole purpose of assisting Licensee in its permitted use of the Software; provided, however, that each such third party subcontractor must agree in a legally binding writing, to which MyECheck is a named third party beneficiary, to be bound by terms and conditions at least as protective of and beneficial to MyECheck as those set forth herein.
3. RESTRICTIONS ON USE.
3.1 Proprietary Rights. Licensee acknowledges that the Software, its structure, organization and Source Code, and the Documentation are the property and constitute valuable trade secrets of MyECheck and its suppliers. Licensee agrees not to: (a) decompile or disassemble the Software, separate the Software into its component parts, or in any way attempt to reconstruct or discover any source code or algorithms of the Software by any means whatsoever; (b) remove any product identification, trademark, copyright, confidentiality, proprietary or other notice contained on or within the Software; (c) modify or create any derivative works from the Software or any part thereof, except to the extent that the Software provides for user-modifiable components (d) except as otherwise permitted herein, sell, sublicense, lease, rent, loan, assign, convey or otherwise transfer the Software or any component thereof; (e) otherwise copy or use the Software for any purpose or in any manner not expressly permitted in this Agreement; or (f) knowingly permit or encourage any third party to do any of the foregoing. All assistance requested by Licensee for integration with existing or proposed Licensee systems or software shall be provided by MyECheck in accordance with Section 7. All rights in and to the Software and Documentation not expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement are reserved by MyECheck and its suppliers.
2 |
3.2 Restrictions. Licensee shall use the Software only on the operating system specified in Exhibit A; provided, however, that a breach of this sentence by Licensee shall not be considered a material breach.
4. ORDERING AND DELIVERY. An Order will be binding on both parties when signed by authorized representatives of Licensee. Each Order shall include the following information: (a) the Software licensed or to which Support and Maintenance shall apply, and (b) the applicable fees. No additional or different terms in any purchase order or similar document shall modify the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, initial delivery of the Software and Documentation will be deemed to have occurred upon MyECheck providing Licensee with a password to access a web page from which Licensee may download the Software and Documentation. The Software will be deemed accepted upon initial delivery, subject to the warranties in Section 9.
5. LICENSE FEES AND PAYMENT. Licensee shall pay to MyECheck the license fees for the Software set forth in Exhibit A (the "License Fees"). All fees hereunder exclude all applicable sales, use, value-added, property and other taxes, including duties and similar mandatory payments, and Licensee will be responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on MyECheck's net income), and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of such fees, the delivery or license of the Software, or the provision of any services to Licensee. All amounts under this Agreement are in U.S. dollars and payment must be made in such. Licensee will make all payments of amounts due under this Agreement to MyECheck free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. If Licensee is legally required to make any such withholding from any payment due to MyECheck under this Agreement, the sum payable by Licensee upon which such withholding is based shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after such withholding, MyECheck receives an amount equal to the amount MyECheck would have received in the absence of such withholding. Licensee will provide MyECheck with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as MyECheck may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid. MyECheck reserves the right to charge interest on any overdue amounts at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, from the due date until paid plus reasonable costs incurred in collection (including reasonable attorneys' fees).

6. OWNERSHIP OF DERIVATIVE WORKS.
Derivative Works. Any and all derivative works to the Software which are created pursuant to this Agreement shall be owned by MyECheck, but Licensee shall have the same rights and licenses to such derivative works as Licensee has to the Software.
7. MAINTENANCE.
7.1 Maintenance Terms. Maintenance provided by MyECheck shall be pursuant to MyECheck's standard maintenance terms, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Maintenance shall be provided solely to the Maintenance site set forth in Exhibit A.
7.2 Maintenance Fees and Payment. Licensee shall pay to MyECheck the Maintenance fee set forth in Exhibit A for Maintenance for twelve (12) months from the Effective Date.

Licensee's payment of Maintenance fees shall be due in advance, on the first day of each month, (prorated for partial months). In the event that Maintenance is discontinued or suspended, to reinstate or renew Maintenance Licensee must first pay MyECheck Maintenance fees for the interim period during which Maintenance was discontinued or suspended and MyECheck may in its sole discretion elect not to accept such renewal or reinstatement.
8. SERVICES. Services (other than support and maintenance services provided pursuant to Exhibit B), if any, to be provided to Licensee by MyECheck shall be under the terms of Exhibit C attached hereto ("Services Exhibit").
9. WARRANTY.
9.1 Limited Software Warranty. MyECheck represents, warrants, and covenants that:

10. CONFIDENTIALITY. In the course of performing this Agreement, the parties may disclose to each other Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" shall mean any and all non-public technical and non-technical information provided by either party to the other, including but not limited to (i) patent and patent applications; (ii) trade secrets; and (iii) proprietary information including, but not limited to, ideas, sketches, techniques, drawings, works of authorship, models, inventions, know-how, processes, apparatuses, equipment, algorithms, software programs, software source documents, and formulae related to the current, future and proposed products and services of each of the parties, and including, without limitation, their respective information concerning research, experimental work, development, design details and specifications, engineering, financial information, procurement requirements, purchasing, manufacturing, customer lists, investors, employees, business and contractual relationships, business forecasts, sales, merchandising, marketing plans and information the disclosing party provides regarding third parties. All Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of the disclosing party, and the receiving party shall have no interest in or rights with respect thereto except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each party agrees: (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose except in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder; (ii) to disclose such Confidential Information only to employees (or third party subcontractors permitted under this Agreement) who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement and who are under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than that set forth herein; (iii) to protect such Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access or disclosure in the same manner that it protects its own similar Confidential Information, but in no event with less care than a reasonably prudent business would exercise and (iv) to promptly notify the other party of any actual or potential unauthorized access to or use of Confidential Information. The foregoing restrictions on disclosure shall not apply with respect to any information which: (a) was or becomes generally known or publicly available through no act or failure to act on the part of the receiving party; (b) is known by the receiving party without restrictions on disclosure at the time of receiving such information as evidenced by its records; (c) is rightfully furnished to the receiving party without restrictions on disclosure by a third party without a breach of such third party's obligations of confidentiality; or (d) is required by law to be disclosed by the receiving party, provided that the receiving party: (x) gives the disclosing party prompt written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure; (y) provides assistance in obtaining an order protecting Confidential Information from disclosure; and (z) discloses information only to the extent required by law. Licensee further agrees not to disclose to any third party any performance information (including, without limitation, benchmarks) relating to the Software except as otherwise expressly contemplated herein. This Section 10 will survive any termination of the Agreement for a period of three (3) years with respect to non-technical information and in perpetuity with respect to technical information, including the Software, the Documentation and any code.
11. MYECHECK INDEMNITY. MyECheck agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee, its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) finally awarded against Licensee (or finally settled upon) and arising from or relating to:
6 |
(i) any claim brought against Licensee by a third party alleging that the Software directly infringes any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right or misappropriates any trade secret (recognized as such under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act). The parties acknowledge and agree that MyECheck's obligations under this item (i) of this Section 11 are conditioned upon Licensee providing MyECheck: (a) prompt written notice of the existence of such claim, suit, action or proceeding (each a "claim"); provided that a failure of the Licensee to promptly notify MyECheck shall not relieve MyECheck of liability hereunder except to the extent that MyECheck 's defenses to such claim are materially impaired by such failure to promptly notify; (b) sole control over the defense or settlement of such claim, it being agreed that MyECheck shall not enter into any settlement imposing any liability or obligation on Licensee without Licensee's prior written consent; and (c) assistance at MyECheck's request and sole expense, to the extent reasonably necessary for the defense or settlement of such claim. If any claim that MyECheck is obligated to defend has occurred or, in MyECheck's opinion, is likely to occur, MyECheck may, at its option and expense either (1) obtain for Licensee the right to continue to use the applicable Software, (2) replace or modify the Software so it becomes non-infringing, without materially adversely affecting the Software's specified functionality, or (3) if (1) or (2) are not readily available after using reasonable commercial efforts or, if neither of the foregoing options is commercially reasonable, refund all fees paid by Customer and terminate this Agreement; provided that termination pursuant to this subsection 11(ii)(3) shall be deemed a termination by Licensee for cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MyECheck shall not indemnify, defend or hold harmless Licensee for any claims solely based on: (a) any Licensee or third party intellectual property or software incorporated in or combined with the Software where in the absence of such incorporated or combined item, there would not have been infringement, but excluding any third party software or intellectual property incorporated into the Software at MyECheck's discretion; (b) Software which has been altered or modified by Licensee, by any third party or by MyECheck at the request of Licensee (where MyECheck had no discretion as to the implementation of modifications to the Software or Documentation directed by Licensee), where in the absence of such alteration or modification the Software would not be infringing; or (c) use of any version of the Software with respect to which MyECheck has made available a non-infringing updated, revised or repaired subsequent version or other applicable update, patch or fix;
(ii) the use of MyECheck's premises by Licensee employees pursuant to this Agreement; or
7 |
(iii) any claim of personal injury or tangible personal property damage (excluding data) of whatsoever nature or kind arising, in whole or in part, out of, as a result of, or in connection with the gross negligent or willful misconduct of MyECheck, its employees, subcontractors or agents. Furthermore, MyECheck agrees to maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $2.5 million, covering MyECheck's obligations contained herein on a claims-made basis with coverage for at least one year from the date of completion of the services. The provisions of this Section 11 herein shall survive for a period of one year following the earlier of (a) completion of the Maintenance services or (b) termination of this Agreement.
12.
Licensee INDEMNITY. Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless MyECheck from and against all damages and costs (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) finally awarded against MyECheck (or finally settled upon) and arising from: (i) any claim of personal
injury or tangible personal property damage (excluding data) of whatsoever nature or kind arising, in whole or in part, out of,
as a result of, or in connection with the gross negligent or willful misconduct of Licensee, its employees, subcontractors or
agents; (ii) any claim brought against MyECheck by a third party alleging that the Licensee Materials (as defined in Exhibit C)
directly infringe any U.S. copyright or trademark or misappropriate any trade secret (recognized as such under the Uniform Trade
Secrets Act) in existence as of the Effective Date; or (iii) any claim brought against MyECheck by a third party arising from
or relating to any modification of the Software by Licensee or any use of the Software other than as permitted under this Agreement.
The parties acknowledge and agree that Licensee's obligations under this section are conditioned upon MyECheck providing Licensee:
(1) prompt written notice of the existence of such claim, suit, action or proceeding (each a "claim"); (2) sole control
over the defense or settlement of such claim; and (3) assistance at Licensee's request to the extent reasonably necessary for
the defense of such claim. The foregoing sets forth Licensee's sole and exclusive obligation and MyECheck's sole and exclusive
remedy for any claim of intellectual property infringement or misappropriation relating to the Licensee Materials. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Licensee shall not indemnify, defend or hold harmless MyECheck for any claims arising from: (a) any MyECheck intellectual
property or software incorporated in or combined with the Licensee Materials where in the absence of such incorporated or combined
item, there would not have been infringement; (b) Licensee Materials which have been altered or modified by MyECheck (other than
in response to a request by Licensee), where in the absence of such alteration or modification the Licensee Materials would not
be infringing; (c) use of an any version of the Licensee Materials for which Licensee has made available an updated, revised or
repaired subsequent version; or (d) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of MyECheck or any of its agents, subcontractors
or employees. Upon notice of any claim of infringement or upon reasonable belief of the likelihood of such a claim, Licensee shall
have the right, at its option, to: (x) obtain the rights to continued use of the Licensee Materials; (y) substitute other suitable,
functionally-equivalent, non-infringing materials; or (z) replace or modify the Licensee Materials or their design so that they
are no longer infringing. Furthermore, Licensee agrees to maintain commercial general liability insurance
of at least $2.5 million, covering Licensee's obligations contained herein on a claims-made basis with coverage
for at least one year from the date of completion of the services. The provisions of this Section 12
herein shall survive for a period of one year following the earlier of (a) completion of the Maintenance services or (b) termination
of this Agreement.

EXCEPT FOR ANY BREACH OF SECTION 9 OR WITH REGARD TO ANY DUTY OR OBLIGATION REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 11 OR 12 OR WITH REGARD TO ANY ACT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, AND TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PARTY HERETO NOR ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE OR GOODWILL, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, LOSS OR INACCURACY OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, LOST PROFITS, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF IT OR ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

14. TERM AND TERMINATION.
14.1 Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect unless and until terminated as provided herein.
14.2 Termination. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason following thirty (30) days notice to MyECheck.

14.3 Effects of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, any amounts owed under this Agreement will be immediately due and payable all rights and licenses granted under this Agreement will immediately cease to exist, and Licensee must promptly discontinue all use of the Software and Documentation.

15. GENERAL.
15.1 Independent Contractors. The relationship of MyECheck and Licensee established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to: (i) give either party the power to direct and control the day-to-day activities of the other, (ii) constitute the parties as partners, joint venturers, co-owners or otherwise as participants in a joint or common undertaking, or (iii) allow either party to create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other party for any purpose whatsoever.

MyECheck may develop and, with the Licensee's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) publish a case study, highlighting the main benefits provided by MyECheck and the Software, when the first Licensee site goes into Production. MyECheck agrees not to publicly issue any press release without Licensee's prior approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
10 |
15.4 Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and delivered in person or by means evidenced by a delivery receipt to the address specified below and will be effective upon receipt. Either party may change its contact information upon written notice to the other party.
15.5 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by Licensee (in whole or in part and whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law) without the prior written consent of MyECheck and any attempt to do so shall be null and void and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may assign this Agreement to an entity that acquires or succeeds to all or substantially all of Licensee's business and assets (a “Successor") by providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to MyECheck, and provided that: (i) MyECheck does not reasonably consider such Successor a direct competitor; and (ii) such assignment is in writing and states that such Successor is accepting all obligations of Licensee under this Agreement and agrees to be bound by and discharge each of the Agreement's terms, conditions, and obligations as if it were the original party hereto.
15.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and performed in, and shall be construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California, excluding application of its conflict of laws principles. In the event MyECheck initiates any legal proceeding with regard to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the appropriate state and federal courts of the State of California. In the event that Licensee initiates any legal proceeding with regard to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the appropriate state and federal courts of the State of California, County of El Dorado. Each party irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue for any such proceeding brought in such courts and any claims that any proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. If either party retains counsel for the purpose of enforcing or preventing the breach or threatened breach of any provision contained herein or otherwise retains counsel to enforce any right or remedy it may have, then the prevailing party will be entitled to be promptly reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for all reasonable costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expended or so incurred by the prevailing party. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed and shall not apply to this Agreement.
15.7 Remedies. Each party recognizes and agrees that there is no adequate remedy at law for a threatened or actual breach of Section 3, Section 6, Section 10 or Section 15.3, that such a breach would irreparably harm the non-breaching party and that such non-breaching party is entitled to seek equitable relief (including an injunction) with respect to any such breach or potential breach, in addition to any other remedies available at law.
11 |
15.8 Waivers and Amendments. Any waiver of or amendment to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective only if made in writing and signed by an authorized and duly empowered representative of each of the parties hereto. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude further exercise of any right hereunder.
15.9 Reference. Upon MyECheck's reasonable request (or the reasonable request of a third party directed to Licensee by MyECheck), Licensee may act as a reference for MyECheck, including taking reference calls from prospective MyECheck customers to discuss the merits of the Software and to share Licensee's experience working with MyECheck.
15.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Licensee agrees that Section 13 will remain in effect notwithstanding the enforceability or unenforceability of any provision of Section 9.
15.11 Confidentiality of Agreement. Neither party will disclose any terms of this Agreement, including prices or discounts, to anyone other than its attorneys, accountants or other professional advisors or to any investor or potential investor who agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may make limited disclosure of the terms of this Agreement to the extent required by law, provided that the disclosing party: (i) provides the non-disclosing party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure, and (ii) uses its best efforts to protect and limit the disclosure of such information to the extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee agrees that MyECheck may acknowledge Licensee as a MyECheck customer.
15.12 Construction. Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be used in interpreting this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the word "including" means "including but not limited to". The parties acknowledge and agree that no implied rights or licenses are conveyed by this Agreement, that all rights are specific to the parties and do not extend to their parents, subsidiaries or affiliates and that all rights in and to the Software not expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement are reserved by MyECheck and its suppliers.
12 |
15.13 Promotion. Each party hereby grants to the other party a nonexclusive, non-transferable, right and license to display such party's trademarks and logo (subject to the terms and conditions of such party's standard trademark usage guidelines) for purposes of reference and acknowledgement.
15.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but all of which together will constitute the same instrument. Execution and delivery of this Agreement may be evidenced by facsimile transmission.
15.15 Inspection Rights. Upon reasonable notice and under the confidentiality terms of Section 10 MyECheck shall have the right once per year to reasonably inspect the Licensee's premises and relevant records to determine compliance with this Agreement.
15.16 Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, market shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.
15.17 U.S. Government Rights. The Software is a "commercial item," as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995) (or an equivalent provision, e.g., in supplements of various U.S. government agencies, as applicable), all U.S. Government users acquire the Software with only those rights set forth herein.
15.18 Section 365(n) of Internal Revenue Code. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by MyECheck to Licensee are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code"), licenses to rights to "intellectual property" as defined under the Code. The parties agree that Licensee, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Code. The parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of bankruptcy proceeding by or against MyECheck under the Code, Licensee shall be entitled to retain all of its rights under this Agreement.
13 |
15.19 Parties Advised by Counsel. This Agreement has been negotiated between parties who are sophisticated and knowledgeable in the matters contained herein and who have been represented by legal counsel. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intentions of the parties and any rule of law (including Section 1654 of the California Civil Code and any other authority of any jurisdiction of similar effect) which would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting party is not applicable and is hereby waived.
15.20 Entire Agreement. Both parties agree that this Agreement, along with the Exhibits hereto, is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous and contemporaneous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
15.21 Remedies. The rights and remedies of each party as set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it in law or in equity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused their duly authorized representatives to enter into this Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date.

EXHIBIT B
MAINTENANCE EXHIBIT
1. SCOPE OF COVERAGE. Upon payment of applicable fees, MyECheck will provide consulting and maintenance services pursuant to this Exhibit ("Maintenance") for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of execution of this agreement.
2. MAINTENANCE SERVICES. Subject to the terms of this Exhibit and Licensee's payment of all Maintenance fees, MyECheck will provide the following:
2.1. Severity Levels. MyECheck will use commercially reasonable efforts to acknowledge and address, as described below, reported and reproducible material errors in the Software which prevent the Software from performing substantially in accordance with the Documentation (each an "error or issue"). MyECheck recognizes three severity levels of Software errors or issues:
(a) Severity 1 - Major System Impact. The Software suffers an error or issue which cannot be reasonably circumvented and which either (i) prevents Licensee from being able to execute transactions through the Software or (ii) otherwise so substantially impairs the performance of the Software as to effectively render it unusable. MyECheck will use commercially reasonable efforts to acknowledge any such reported error or issue as promptly as possible (but in no event longer than two (2) hours) and, if Licensee is using the Software in Production, will work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week using commercially reasonable efforts to promptly address and remedy such error or issue.
(b) Severity 2 - Moderate System Impact. The Software suffers an error or issue (which is not of Severity 1) which cannot be reasonably circumvented and which substantially impairs the use of one or more portions or features of the Software required by Licensee to perform necessary business functions. MyECheck will acknowledge any such reported error or issue promptly, but in no event longer than within four (4) hours and, if Licensee is using the Software in Production, will use commercially reasonable efforts to address and remedy such error with timeliness corresponding to the severity of the impact of such error on Licensee's business operation, including but not limited to working continually to address and remedy such error during MyECheck's normal Maintenance hours.
(c) Severity 3 - Minor System Impact. The Software suffers an error or issue (which is not of Severity 1 or Severity 2) which impairs the use of one or more portions or features of the Software, but the reported error or issue can be reasonably circumvented. MyECheck will acknowledge any such reported error or issue within one (1) business day and will work during MyECheck's normal Maintenance hours to provide the appropriate resolution.
17 |
(d) Resolution. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, MyECheck will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve each reported error or issue with the Software by providing either: (i) a reasonable work around, which may consist of specific administrative steps or alternative programming calls; (ii) an object code patch to the Software; or (iii) a specific action plan regarding how MyECheck intends to address the reported error or issue and an estimate on how long it may take to remedy or work around the error or issue. Licensee acknowledges that in order to perform Maintenance, MyECheck may require access to and a copy of code in Licensee's possession (or that of Licensee's system integrator or consultants) relating to the Software or which may impact the performance of the Software. Licensee agrees to provide access, assistance and information to MyECheck as required to resolve errors or issues with the Software.
2.2 Available Updates. At no additional cost to Licensee, MyECheck will deliver to Licensee, as made commercially available by MyECheck, bug fixes, Maintenance updates and Major Releases for the Software ("Updates"), which will thereafter be considered "Software" for all purposes except for Section 8.1 of the Agreement. At its expense and as deemed appropriate by MyECheck in its sole discretion, MyECheck will furnish Licensee with revised Documentation (including release notes identifying each change) with each Update.
2.3 Other Errors and Issues. If Licensee reports an error or issue with the Software that is not of Severity 1, 2 or 3, MyECheck shall use commercially reasonable efforts to acknowledge such error or issue. If Licensee reports an error or issue with the Software that is not of Severity 1, 2 or 3 and that is scheduled by MyECheck to be addressed in a later Update, MyECheck may address such error or issue in such Update. Licensee agrees to pay MyECheck at MyECheck's standard rates for all effort expended towards resolution of any error or issue which is later determined to result from any cause other than an error or issue in the Software.
3. SUPPORT LINES.
3.1 First Line Support. Licensee shall establish and maintain the organization and processes to provide first line support directly to any of Licensee's customers. MyECheck shall have no obligation to provide any first line support to Licensee's customers. First line support shall include: (a) a direct response to Licensee's customers with respect to problems or inquiries concerning the performance, functionality or operation of the Software; (b) a diagnosis of problems or performance deficiencies in the Software; and (c) a resolution of problems or performance deficiencies in the Software.
18 |
3.2 Second Line Support. MyECheck shall maintain the organization and processes necessary to provide second line support for the Software to Licensee. Such second line support shall be provided to Licensee only if, after reasonable commercial effort, Licensee is unable to diagnose and/or resolve problems or performance deficiencies in the Software. Second line support will be provided to up to two (2) designated and trained representatives of Licensee. MyECheck shall have no obligation to provide second line support directly to any of Licensee's customers. In order to assist MyECheck in providing such second line support, Licensee will provide MyECheck with the ability to access Licensee's site(s) which utilize the Software (including but not limited to configuration information and error logs) and provide assistance to MyECheck in order to facilitate MyECheck's use of remote administration tools relating to the Software.
4. SERVICE LIMITATIONS. The Maintenance does not include, nor will MyECheck be obligated to provide, services required as a result of: (a) any modification, reconfiguration or maintenance of the Software not performed or recommended by MyECheck; (b) any use of the Software on a system that does not meet MyECheck 's minimum standards for such as set forth in the applicable Documentation; (c) any third party hardware or software not supported or embedded by MyECheck; (d) any configuration of the Software (or hardware configurations) other than as recommended by MyECheck; or (e) any error caused by Licensee's or any third party's negligence, abuse, misapplication, or use of Software other than as expressly permitted under the Agreement.
5. TERM AND TERMINATION. This Maintenance Exhibit shall remain in effect for one (1) year from the Effective Date. This Maintenance Exhibit shall automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods, unless either party provides notice of cancellation of Maintenance to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the anniversary date of this Agreement. Licensee may terminate this Exhibit B if MyECheck materially breaches the terms of this Exhibit B and such breach remains uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice. The expiration or termination of this Exhibit shall not terminate or otherwise affect the Agreement.
