Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fiserv reserves the right to increase the Fees upon notice to Client if: (i) Client exceeds currently licensed volume of Software or if Client exceeds or falls below current tier pricing for ASP Services (including number of accounts, named users, workstations, etc.) of a given Deliverable compared to any limits or restrictions applicable to such Deliverable or as otherwise provided to or estimated by Fiserv during the discovery process to the agreed upon fees for the agreed upon tiers; (ii) Client’s use of the Services originally contracted is reduced by Client’s termination of certain services; or (iii) Fiserv implements any significant enhancements, including functionality changes that improve to a significant degree the function or performance of the Service, to its systems, networks or any Deliverables to comply with changes in law, government regulation, or industry practices or pursuant to Client’s request. Fiserv reserves the right to increase the Fees charged for third party products or services upon notice to Client if Fiserv’s third party providers increase their fees or charges by the amount of such increase from the third party.

(i) | If the product or service is included in the monthly minimum fee, [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]; |

(o) Tiering. For purposes of any tiered fees set forth in a Schedule, the fees set forth shall apply only to the products or services in the respective tier, not to all products or services (e.g. if a service has pricing of $1.00 per transaction for 1-50 transactions and $2.00 per transaction for 51-100 transactions, the fee paid for 80 transactions would be $110.00, calculated as 50 x $1.00 + 30 x $2.00).
(p) Holdover. Upon any termination or expiration of the Agreement or an Exhibit, Services provided after the applicable termination date, expiration date, or final processing date specified by Client (“Holdover”) will be provided subject to Fiserv’s capacity and will be invoiced at then current fees under the applicable Schedule plus a holdover premium of [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED], unless such Holdover is due to Fiserv’s action or inaction.

(b) Obligations. Recipient agrees to hold as confidential all Information it receives from the Discloser. All Information shall remain the property of Discloser or its suppliers and licensors.

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. PORTIONS FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT IS REQUESTED ARE DENOTED BY [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]. MATERIAL OMITTED HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care and no less than is required by law. Recipient may only use Information for the lawful purposes contemplated by this Agreement, including in the case of Fiserv use of Client Information for fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, performing, improving and enhancing the Deliverables, and developing data analytics models to produce analytics-based offerings. Client agrees that prior to providing Fiserv access to any Client PII, Client shall ensure that any necessary consent has been obtained that is required by law or regulation for Fiserv to access the information and to use it pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement. Fiserv specifically agrees not to use or disclose any Client PII in any manner prohibited by GLB as applicable to Fiserv. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) either party as Recipient may disclose Information to: (A) its officers, directors, and employees and employees of permitted subcontractors and Affiliates who have a need to know; (B) its attorneys and accountants as necessary in the ordinary course of its business; and (C) any other party with Discloser’s prior written consent.

Recipient acknowledges that any breach of this Section 3 may cause irreparable harm to Discloser for which monetary damages alone may be insufficient, and Recipient therefore acknowledges that Discloser shall have the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach, in addition to all other remedies available to it at law or otherwise.
(c) Ownership. With the exception of Client Information, all information, reports, studies, object and source code (including without limitation the Products and all modifications, enhancements, additions, upgrades, or other works based thereon or related thereto created through P&D Services or otherwise), flow charts, diagrams, specifications, and other tangible or intangible material of any nature whatsoever produced by Fiserv or jointly with Client or by any of Fiserv’s or Client’s employees or agents, separately or together, through or as a result of or related to any of the Deliverables provided hereunder or development of any data analytics models hereunder, and all patents, copyrights, and other proprietary rights related to each of the foregoing, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Fiserv or its Affiliates.

Within 30 days of Client’s written request, Fiserv shall provide to Client a summary of Fiserv’s written information security plan for the applicable Services received by Client, and thereafter upon Client’s request will provide updates on the status of such information security plan.
(c) Data Encryption. As applicable to the Deliverables received by Client, Client and Fiserv agree to comply with Fiserv’s then-current data encryption policies and controls regarding transmission to and from Fiserv of tapes, images, and records maintained and produced by Fiserv for Client in connection with the Deliverables (“Client Files”), or other data in connection with the Deliverables (collectively, “Data”). If Client requests or requires Fiserv to send, transmit, or otherwise deliver Data to Client or any third party in a non-compliant format or manner, or Client (or third party on Client’s behalf) sends, transmits or otherwise delivers Data to Fiserv in a non-compliant format or manner, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: (i) Client understands and accepts all risk of transmitting Data in an unencrypted or otherwise noncompliant format; and (ii) Client releases, discharges, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Fiserv and its employees, officers, directors, agents, and Affiliates from any and all liability, damage, or other loss under this Agreement or otherwise suffered by or through Client or suffered by any of the indemnified entities arising out of the transmission, destruction, or loss of such Data, including without limitation any information security or privacy breach related to such Data except for willful misconduct or gross negligence by Fiserv.
5. Hiring and Employment.
(a) Background Checks. Neither party shall knowingly permit any of its employees to have access to the premises, records or data of the other party when such employee: (i) uses drugs illegally; or (ii) has been convicted of a crime in connection with a dishonest act or a breach of trust, as set forth in Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. 1829(a). Consistent with Fiserv’s employment practices, newly hired Fiserv employees: (i) as from 1996, are required to pass a pre-employment criminal background check; and (ii) as from 1993, are required to pass a pre-employment drug screening, as permitted by law. Upon Client’s reasonable request and at its expense, Fiserv agrees to perform additional reasonable background checks on those of Fiserv’s employees who will have access to Client facilities or Client’s networks and computer systems located at Client facilities. The results of all such background checks shall be retained solely by Fiserv.
(b) Equal Employment. Each party agrees that it shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, age, sex, national origin, marital status, liability for service in the armed forces, disability due to veteran status, status as veteran of the Vietnam era, handicap or any other legally protected status, and each party shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Equal Opportunity Clause set forth in Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing instructions, as well as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974.
(c) 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 while such person is employed by the other party and for the 6-month period starting on the earlier of: (i) termination of such Restricted Employee’s employment; or (ii) termination or expiration of the Agreement. “Restricted Employee” means any former or current employee of either party or its Affiliates of whom the other party became aware or came into contact during Fiserv’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement. This restriction shall not apply to persons replying to the internet or other such general advertisements not targeted at the employees of the other party.

(a) By Fiserv. Fiserv warrants that: (i) no contractual obligations exist that would prevent Fiserv from entering into this Agreement; (ii) it has the requisite authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) it will comply with all regulatory requirements applicable to Fiserv as a general supplier of software and technology services and its operations relating thereto used in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt
(i) | Fiserv warrants that the Fiserv personnel performing the Services provided under the ASP Services Exhibit, the Maintenance Services provided under the Software Products Exhibit, and the Professional and Development Services provided under the Professional and Development Services Exhibit shall exercise due care. Client shall notify Fiserv in writing of any alleged warranty defect within 30 days of the date the defective Services were performed, and Fiserv shall correct such Services at no additional charge to Client. |
(ii) | Fiserv warrants that, during the Warranty Period, the Software will perform in all material respects without the occurrence of a “Non-conformity” (as defined in the Software Products Exhibit”) when operated on the Computer System and in compliance with the Documentation, the Software Products Exhibit, and this Agreement. Fiserv will provide replacements or corrections to the Software that does not so perform where such failure is material in terms of Client’s ability to accurately process transactions in the normal course of business, provided Fiserv is notified in writing of such failure during the Warranty Period. This warranty shall not apply if the Non-conformity results from: (i) use of the Software in combination with any materials or software not provided or expressly approved by Fiserv; (ii) changes to the Software made by Client or any Third Party; or (iii) by use of the Software other than in accordance with the Documentation, the Software Products Exhibit or this Agreement, including without limitation Use in violation of Section [3] of the Software Products Exhibit. Client acknowledges that all Software is designed to operate on the applicable Computer System and that the warranties given by Fiserv are conditional upon the procurement and maintenance by Client of the Computer System in accordance with the then current specified configuration. |
(iii) | If the Software has been delivered by Fiserv on physical media, Fiserv warrants the media to be free from material physical defects and the Software to include up-to-date security protections designed to prevent any virus or similar malicious code for a period of 90 days after delivery by Fiserv. Fiserv will replace the copy provided on defective media or deliver such Software via an alternate method selected by Fiserv, provided Fiserv is notified in writing of such defective media within such 90-day period. |
(iv) | Fiserv warrants that Client will acquire good and clear title to all Equipment free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Fiserv assigns to Client all warranties Supplier has granted or hereafter grants to Fiserv with respect to Equipment as set forth in the Equipment Schedules. Client agrees to all of the terms and conditions applicable to those warranties and acknowledges that: (a) neither Supplier nor Fiserv warrants that use of Equipment will be uninterrupted or error free; and (b) Supplier’s warranties, and the assignment of such warranties by Fiserv to Client, shall not impose any liability on Fiserv due to the Installation Services or any other services or assistance provided to Client by Fiserv with respect thereto. |
(v) | NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, UNLESS EXPRESSLY ASSUMED BY FISERV HEREIN OR IN THE EXHIBITS OR SCHEDULES HERETO, CLIENT ASSUMES ANY AND ALL RISK, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL FINANCIAL RISK, ON ITS BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS CUSTOMERS FOR ANY ISSUES RELATING TO THE FUNDING OF A CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION INSUFFICIENT FUNDS IN ANY SUCH ACCOUNT BUT EXCLUDING ANY RISK ARISING FROM FISERV’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. |
(vi) | NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING OR ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT, CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ACCESS TO CERTAIN ASP SERVICES SHALL BE ACROSS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LINES OUTSIDE OF FISERV’S CONTROL. SUCH ASP SERVICES MAY BE SUBJECT TO DELAYS OR UNAVAILABILITY DUE TO CONGESTION, OVERLOAD OR DOWNTIME ON PUBLIC CIRCUITS SUPPLIED BY THIRD PARTIES, AND FISERV MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH CIRCUITS. FISERV SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY FAILURES, ACTS, OR OMISSIONS OF ANY SUCH THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY SUCH DELAYS OR UNAVAILABILITY OR ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, ALTERATION, THEFT OR DESTRUCTION OF CLIENT INFORMATION |

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. PORTIONS FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT IS REQUESTED ARE DENOTED BY [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]. MATERIAL OMITTED HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
(vii) | NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING AND IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER DISCLAIMERS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT, FISERV DOES NOT AND CANNOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE OR REPRESENTATION THAT ANY FRAUD DETECTION-RELATED ASP SERVICES WILL IDENTIFY ALL OR EVERY POTENTIALLY FRAUDULENT TRANSACTION OR WILL NOT FALSELY IDENTIFY A TRANSACTION AS BEING POTENTIALLY FRAUDULENT. FISERV DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY TO CLIENT AND ITS CUSTOMERS OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH INCIDENTS, AND CLIENT EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND ACCEPTS SUCH RISKS ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS CUSTOMERS. Fiserv will only be expected to make reasonable efforts based on industry standards to identify potential fraud. |
(viii) | FISERV DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ALL NON-CONFORMITIES CAN BE CORRECTED. IN NO EVENT SHALL FISERV BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO CLIENT’S DATA RESULTING FROM CLIENT’S USE OF THE SOFTWARE. Client acknowledges that it is responsible for the results obtained from use of the Software, including without limitation the completeness, accuracy and content of such results. Client acknowledges further that it is responsible for independent verification and testing of any such results prior to using them in its business. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the corrective actions provided by Fiserv as set forth in this Section 6 shall be Fiserv’s entire liability and Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for Fiserv’s breach of any of the foregoing warranties. |
(b) By Client. Client represents and warrants that: (i) no contractual obligations exist that would prevent Client from entering into this Agreement; (ii) it has the requisite authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) it and its Authorized Users will comply with the relevant terms of this Agreement as well as all laws, rules, regulatory requirements and industry standards applicable to the receipt and use of Deliverables, including without limitation providing any required notice, privacy policies and other such information to its Authorized Users using a given Deliverable.
(c) THE WARRANTIES STATED ABOVE AND IN THE EXHIBITS, IF ANY, ARE LIMITED WARRANTIES AND ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES MADE BY THE PARTIES. FISERV DOES NOT REPRESENT THAT THE DELIVERABLES MEET CLIENT’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE DELIVERABLES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DELIVERABLES AND THEIR APPLICATION TO CLIENT’S NEEDS. FISERV DISCLAIMS, AND CLIENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, CONDITIONS, OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OR TRADE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, UNLESS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, FISERV MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ON BEHALF OF ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER. FURTHERMORE, CLIENT MAY NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ON BEHALF OF FISERV OR ANY OF ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS TO ANY OF CLIENT’S AFFILIATE, AUTHORIZED USERS OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY WITHOUT FISERV’S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT.
(d) The terms of this Section 6 shall survive termination of the Agreement or any parts thereof
7. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL FISERV BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE OR OPPORTUNITY, OR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR TORT DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIM ARISES IN TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE. EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS RELATED TO PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, NEITHER PARTY MAY ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT MORE THAN 2 YEARS AFTER SUCH CLAIM ACCRUED. FISERV’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO CLIENT AND ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY CLIENT TO FISERV UNDER THE SCHEDULE RESULTING IN SUCH LIABILITY IN THE [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE THE CLAIM ACCRUED. [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fiserv’s aggregate liability for a default relating to Third Party Software or Equipment shall be limited to the amount paid by Client to Fiserv for the applicable Third Party Software or Equipment.

8. Term and Termination.
(a) Term. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto shall be effective on the Effective Date and the Schedules to the Exhibits shall become effective on the following dates. Once in effect, this Agreement, including its Exhibits and Schedules shall remain in effect until the later of [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED], unless otherwise terminated as provided herein. Unless written notice of non-renewal is provided by either party at least 365 days prior to expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, the Services shall automatically renew for additional term(s) [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED].
(i) | Signature Account Processing Services Schedule to the ASP Services Exhibit to this Agreement shall be effective upon conversion of Client’s last bank Affiliate identified in Section 11(q) of this Agreement from the Source One Account Processing Service to the Signature Account Processing Service (“Initial Conversion Completion”). |
(ii) | All other Schedules to the Exhibits of this Agreement shall be effective upon the Effective Date. |
(b) The term for Deliverables may be set forth in the applicable Exhibit or Schedule. An Exhibit or Schedule that does not state a term will be effective from its last date of execution until terminated in accordance with this Agreement or the Exhibit.
(c) Termination.
(i) | Either party may, upon written notice to the other, terminate: (A) any Schedule if the other party materially breaches its obligations under that Schedule or under this Agreement with respect to that Schedule; or (B) this Agreement if the other party materially breaches its obligations with respect to the non-breaching party’s Information or other intellectual property; and the breaching party fails to cure such material breach within 90 days as to a breach under clause (A) and 10 days as to a breach under clause (B) following its receipt of written notice stating, with particularity and in reasonable detail, the nature of the claimed breach. |
(ii) | If any invoice remains unpaid by Client 30 days after due, Fiserv may, upon 15 days prior written notice to Client’s President and Client’s Chief Information Officer, terminate: (A) the Schedule and/or Client’s access to and use of Deliverables to which the payment failure relates; or (B) this Agreement if the unpaid amounts constitute a material portion of annual charges due under this Agreement unless the parties otherwise mutually agree to alternative payment arrangements. Any invoice submitted by Fiserv shall be deemed correct unless Client provides written notice to Fiserv within 15 days of the invoice date specifying the nature of any disagreement. |
(iii) | If the continued provision of any Deliverable (or any portion thereof) becomes impossible, impractical or technologically infeasible due to a change in applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations or any judicial action or order, Fiserv reserves the right to cease providing the affected Deliverable within, or pertaining to persons residing within, the affected jurisdiction(s). Fiserv also reserves the right to cease providing any Deliverable(s) and terminate the relevant portions of the Agreement relating thereto (including but not limited to such associated fees) if Fiserv’s relationship with any third party provider necessary to provide such Deliverable(s) terminates. |
(d) Consequence of Termination
(i) | Convenience; Early Termination. If Client terminates the Agreement or reduces (other than through normal attrition) or terminates Services (as provided under the Exhibits and the Schedule thereto) for any reason other than pursuant to Section 8(c)(i) of this Agreement, Client shall pay a termination fee based on the remaining unused term of the Services. Such fee shall be determined by multiplying the average of the monthly invoices for each Service received by Client during the [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] (or if no monthly invoice has been received, the estimated monthly billing for each Service to be received hereunder) [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] the remaining months of the term, plus any unamortized conversion fees or third party costs existing on Fiserv’s books on the date of termination which amount shall be disclosed to Client upon request. |
(ii) | Defaults. If Client: |
(A) | fails to cure its material breach or fails to pay amounts due, each as set forth in the Agreement; |
Master Agreement | Page 12 of 18 |
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. PORTIONS FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT IS REQUESTED ARE DENOTED BY [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]. MATERIAL OMITTED HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
(B) | deconverts any data or information from the Fiserv System either without Fiserv’s prior written consent or in violation of the Agreement; or |
(C) | commits an act of bankruptcy or becomes the subject of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or becomes insolvent or if any substantial part of Client’s property becomes subject to any levy, seizure, assignment, application, or sale for or by any creditor or governmental agency, |
then Fiserv may, upon written notice, terminate the Agreement and be entitled to recover from Client as liquidated damages an amount equal to the present value [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] for the remaining unused term of the Agreement or the applicable Exhibit. For purposes of the preceding sentence, present value shall be computed using the “prime” rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) in effect at the date of termination and [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED].
(iii) | License. The termination of this Agreement or the Software Products Exhibit or any individual Schedule thereto shall automatically, and without further action by Fiserv, terminate and extinguish the license(s) granted under the applicable Schedule and Fiserv’s obligation to provide the Maintenance Services with respect to such Software. Unless Client destroys all copies of the Software and provides written certification to Fiserv of said destruction within 10 days of receipt of written notice from Fiserv following termination of the applicable Schedule, Fiserv shall have the right to take immediate possession of the Software and all copies thereof wherever located without further notice or demand. In addition, upon termination for any reason other than Fiserv’s uncured material default pursuant to Section 8(b)(i) of the Agreement, all remaining Maintenance Fees through the end of the then current term of Maintenance Services shall be accelerated, and Client shall pay all such accelerated fees to Fiserv pursuant to the payment terms set forth in the Agreement. |
(e) 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 8(d)(i) and (ii) above 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.
(f) Return of Client Files. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement or any Schedule to this Exhibit, Fiserv shall furnish to Client such copies of Client Files as Client may request in a Fiserv standard format, and shall provide such information and assistance as is reasonable and customary to enable Client to deconvert from the Fiserv System; provided, however, that Client authorizes Fiserv to retain Client Files until: (i) Fiserv is paid in full for all amounts due for all Services provided through the date such Client Files are returned to Client; (ii) Fiserv is paid its then standard rates for the services necessary to return such Client Files; (iii) if the Agreement or applicable Schedule is being terminated, Fiserv is paid any applicable termination fee pursuant to Section 8(d)(i) or Section 8(d)(ii) above; and (iv) Client has returned or destroyed all Fiserv Information in accordance with the Confidentiality Provisions of the Agreement. Unless directed by Client in writing to the contrary, Fiserv shall be permitted to destroy Client Files any time after 30 days from the final use of Client Files for processing. Upon Client request following destruction of Client Files, Fiserv shall provide to Client a certification of such destruction within a reasonable time of such request.
(g) Miscellaneous. Client is responsible for the deinstallation and return shipping of any Fiserv-owned equipment located on Client’s premises
(h) Remedies. Remedies contained in this Section 8 are cumulative and are in addition to the other rights and remedies available to Fiserv under this Agreement, by law or otherwise.
9. | Dispute Resolution. |
(a) Informal. Before initiating legal action against the other party 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 that each party 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 30 days of the commencement of informal efforts under this paragraph, either party may pursue formal legal action. This paragraph will not apply if expiration of the applicable time for bringing an action is imminent and will not prohibit a party from pursuing injunctive or other equitable relief to which it may be entitled.

(b) 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, shall be submitted to and resolved exclusively by arbitration under the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association, upon written notice of demand for arbitration by the party seeking arbitration, setting forth the specifics of the matter in controversy or the claim being made. 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 first party seeking arbitration has given written notice, 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 made by the first party seeking arbitration. The arbitrator(s) must render a decision within 10 days after the conclusion of such hearing. Any award in such arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and the judgement 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. Section 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 rule upon or 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 required to resolve any disputes between the parties, the proceedings to resolve first such dispute shall be held in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the proceedings to resolve the second such dispute shall be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the proceedings to resolve any subsequent disputes shall alternate between Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
(e) Affiliate Claims. All claims and disputes of either party’s Affiliate against the other party arising out of or related to the Agreement shall be made exclusively by, through and in the name of Fiserv or Client, as applicable.
10. | Audit. |
(a) Fiserv Operations and Security. Fiserv is regulated by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) and is subject to certain examinations by FFIEC regulators and agencies. Client acknowledges and agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 1 year thereafter, reports of such examination of Fiserv business units are available to Client directly from the relevant FFIEC agencies. Fiserv employs an internal auditor responsible for reviewing the integrity of its processing environments and internal controls. Except as set forth otherwise in the Agreement, no further audit rights regarding Fiserv’s operations or security controls are granted by this Agreement. In the event Fiserv is required to perform services associated with the above, Fiserv and Client shall mutually agree the scope and associated fees for such services.
(b) Billing Records. Upon Client’s reasonable request in writing no more frequently than once every 12 months, 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 or otherwise credit to Client the amount of such overpayment. Conversely, if such documentation reveals the amounts paid to Fiserv are less than the amounts owed, Client shall promptly remit the amount of such underpayment. Invoices dated prior to the 12-month review period hereunder shall be deemed correct. Fiserv reserves the right to charge Client for any assistance required in connection with such an audit at Fiserv’s then-current rates, unless such audit reveals an overcharge of more than 10%, in which case such audit shall be at Fiserv’s expense.
(c) Operations Audits. Fiserv provides for periodic independent audits of its ASP Services operations. Fiserv shall provide Client with a copy of such independent audit report of the Fiserv service center(s) providing the Services within a reasonable time after its completion. Fiserv reserves the right to charge each client a fee for the annual SAS70 or SSAE-16 audit as estimated in the table below (“Annual Audit Fees”) [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] for this as part of any regulatory and compliance charges passed on to Client under the Agreement. [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] If material deficiencies affecting the Services are noted in such audit report, Fiserv will develop and implement an action plan to address and resolve any such deficiencies within a commercially reasonable time at Fiserv’s expense.

11. | General. |
(a) Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement is binding upon the parties, their participating Affiliates, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any part thereof or interest therein may be sold, assigned, transferred, novated, pledged, or otherwise disposed of by Client, whether pursuant to change of control (which includes without limitation a direct or indirect change in the controlling interest in Client, its parent company or its ultimate parent company or a sale of all or substantially all of Client’s assets), by operation of law or otherwise, without Fiserv’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed. If the organization to which such a transfer is proposed derives more than 5% of its gross revenues from providing service bureau, time share, computer software consulting services, computer software licensing, or computer hardware sales, Fiserv shall be under no obligation to consent to such transfer.
(b) Subcontract. Client agrees that Fiserv may assign all or part of this Agreement and may subcontract any obligations to be performed hereunder; provided that any such subcontractors shall be required to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Fiserv shall remain primarily liable for the performance of any such subcontractors. Client will facilitate timely cooperation with Fiserv’s subcontractors, if any, in order for Fiserv to provide the Deliverables.
(c) Entire Agreement; Amendments. As of the Effective Date, except as herein provided, this Agreement supersedes and replaces the Product Use Agreement between Client and Sendero Corporation dated July 18, 1985,
Master Agreement | Page 15 of 18 |
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. PORTIONS FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT IS REQUESTED ARE DENOTED BY [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]. MATERIAL OMITTED HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.]
as amended, in its entirety, Product Use and Support Agreement between Client and Sendero Corporation dated December 28, 1995, as amended, in its entirety (“Sendero Agreements”) and the Summit Agreement (as defined in the Risk and Performance Software Schedule) in its entirety. Except as herein provided, this Agreement supersedes and replaces the 2005 Master in its entirety as of the date the last Exhibit under the 2005 Master is terminated or expires. While Client is receiving Fiserv Services (as defined in the 2005 Master) under the 2005 Master, such Fiserv Services are governed by the 2005 Master. While Client is receiving Deliverables under this Agreement, such Deliverables are governed by this Agreement. The 2005 Master will remain in effect with respect to:
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]
As each Exhibit under the 2005 Master is deleted, such deletion shall include all amendments or addenda to such Exhibit.
In any event, the 2005 Master and all of its Exhibits and Schedules, including all amendments or addenda thereto, shall expire on the later of December 31, 2012 or the day following the conversion of Client’s last bank to the Signature Account Processing Services unless otherwise earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions therein (“Master Expiration”) or unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the parties, subject, however, to any provision of the 2005 Master Agreement which provides any provision or obligation thereunder shall survive termination or expiration of the 2005 Master Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Fiserv shall not xxxx Client under this Agreement and the 2005 Master for the same Service. Following the Master Expiration, this Agreement, including its Exhibits and Schedules, 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 all previous agreements with respect thereto and the terms of all existing or future purchase orders and acknowledgments. Each party hereby acknowledges that it has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by virtue of, and is not relying on, any representation made by the other party not embodied herein, any term sheets or other correspondence preceding the execution of this Agreement, or any prior course of dealing between the parties, including without limitation any statements concerning product or service usage or the financial condition of the parties. The protections of this Agreement shall apply to actions of the parties performed in preparation for and anticipation of the execution of this Agreement. Changes to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties.
(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, the other provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
(e) 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.
(f) Force Majeure. With the exception of Client’s payment obligations, neither party shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, fire, flood, strikes, war, epidemics, pandemics, shortage of power, telecommunications or Internet service interruptions or other acts or causes reasonably beyond the control of that party. 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 re-commence performance as promptly as commercially practicable.
(g) Notices. Any written notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given by: (i) Registered or Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, postage prepaid; (ii) confirmed facsimile; or (iii) nationally recognized overnight courier service to the other party at the addresses listed on page 1 or to such other address or person as a party may designate in writing. Any notice to Fiserv shall also include a copy to the following address: Fiserv, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, 00000, ATTN: General Counsel. All such notices shall be effective upon receipt. Any notice to Client shall also include a copy to the following address: 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, ATTN: Chief Information Officer. All such notices shall be effective upon receipt.
(h) 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.
(i) Prevailing Party.
