* * * * *

WHEREAS, DebtResolve provides proprietary internet-based software tools and technology, utilizing a blind bidding system, based upon patented technology licensed to DebtResolve, for the collection of consumer debts to financial institutions, lenders and holders of consumer debt to assist such persons with the collection of such debts (collectively, the “DebtResolve System”); and

WHEREAS, Client is a financial institution, debt collector or other holder of consumer indebtedness, and desires to license the DebtResolve System described on Exhibit A from DebtResolve for purposes of evaluating its effectiveness, in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

DEFINITIONS. The following are the definition of certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement.

“Agreement” means this DebtResolve Customized Solution Program License Agreement.

“End-User” shall mean each of Client’s customer debtors whose Debtor Account Information is provided to DebtResolve by Client and entered into the Customized Solution Database.

“Intellectual Property” means, for any person or entity, patents (including patent applications), know-how, trademarks, trade names, service marks, domain names, trade dress, logos or other identifying indicia, trade secrets, copyrights and copyrighted materials, software, Confidential Information, systems, technology, supplier data and access to any other intellectual property owned or controlled by, or licensed to such person or entity.

SUMMARY OF PROGRAM. DebtResolve shall create a series of Web pages, proprietary to and controlled by DebtResolve, using the DebtResolve System described on Exhibit A prominently branded with the Client’s trademarks and logos, which Client shall provide to DebtResolve in a computer-readable format as specified by DebtResolve (such customized version of the DebtResolve System identified on Exhibit A may be referred to herein as the “Customized Solution”). DebtResolve shall be responsible for hosting the Customized Solution. From time to time as agreed by the Parties, Client shall forward to DebtResolve the Debtor Account Information to facilitate use of the Customized Solution. The Debtor Account Information permits an End-User to access the Customized Solution over the Internet and utilize the Customized Solution to attempt to resolve the account with Client. Client will be solely responsible for establishing settlement parameters (amount, terms, etc.) for all accounts and communicating such parameters to DebtResolve in writing. The Customized Solution shall be enabled to accept payments so that the End-User can make payment in full, or the first payment of an agreed upon payment plan, as part of the agreed upon resolution.

LICENSE TO CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION. For the duration of the Term, provided that the Client is not in material breach of any term or condition of this Agreement, DebtResolve hereby grants to Client, and Client hereby accepts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a non-exclusive, non-transferable and nonassignable license, without the right to sublicense, to use the DebtResolve System, in the form of the Customized Solution, while hosted by DebtResolve, and to permit End-Users to access the Customized Solution through the Internet, for use solely in connection with the collection of consumer debts (the “Licensed Field”) within the United States of America and, to the extent agreed to in writing by the Parties, other specifically identified countries (collectively, the “Licensed Territory”). All software used in connection with the Customized Solution shall be hosted by or at the direction of DebtResolve. Accordingly, no physical media containing the software for the Customized Solution shall be provided to Client. Except for such rights expressly granted to Client herein, no license, right, title or interest in or to the DebtResolve System, the Customized Solution or any other Intellectual Property of DebtResolve is granted to Client or any other person or entity, either expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

PARTIES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Creation of the Customized Solution. Following the Effective Date, DebtResolve, with the assistance and cooperation of Client, will take the necessary actions to create the Customized Solution and make the same available for access by Client’s customers over the Internet. Client shall provide DebtResolve with digital versions of the Client Trademarks and Client Copyrightable Materials in any format reasonably requested by DebtResolve. The Customized Solution shall include the DebtResolve logo and phrase “Powered by XxxxXxxxxxx.XX” at appropriate positions as mutually agreed by the Parties. Before the Customized Solution is made available generally to End-Users, DebtResolve shall make the proposed Customized Solution available to Client for review and approval of the use of the Client Trademarks therein, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed . The date on which Client approves the Customized Solution may be referred to as the “Approval Date.”

Procedures.

From time to time as agreed by the Parties, for each debtor, Client shall provide DebtResolve with the information identified on Exhibit B hereto (such information, collectively, the “Debtor Account Information”), which DebtResolve shall upload into a database accessible through the Customized Solution (the “Customized Solution Database”). An invitation code (the “Invitation Code”), which may be different from the account number, shall be given to each account of an End-User by Client, which Invitation Code shall be established by using an algorithm provided to Client by DebtResolve. Client agrees to provide Debtor Account Information for at least the monthly minimum but not more than the monthly maximum, number of account/months (as set forth in the preamble to this Agreement) during the Term starting with the Approval Date.

Upon transfer of Debtor Account Information to DebtResolve, Client shall take reasonable actions to contact the End-User on each such account to (a) advise End-User of the availability of the Customized Solution tool to resolve the End-User’s account, (b) encourage the End-User to utilize the Customized Solution; and (c) provide each End-User with his or her unique Invitation Code, which will permit the End-User to access the Customized Solution. These contacts shall take the form of regular mailings, billing stuffers, words on an End-User’s account statement or other account correspondence, telephone calls and/or e-mail, as appropriate, all as agreed to by the Parties.

Client agrees to be bound by any settlement within the settlement parameters it provides to DebtResolve, subject to all payments being made in accordance with the terms of such settlement. Client agrees to hold DebtResolve harmless from any and all costs, damages, expenses, and losses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), DebtResolve may incur as a result of, or arising from, claims related to the Customized Solution settling an account within the settlement parameters provided by Client.

Payments from End-Users. Upon reaching a settlement, the Customized Solution will require the End-User to either make payment in full (if that was a condition of the settlement) or make the first payment of the scheduled payments pursuant to the agreed upon settlement. Client may make available to DebtResolve for interface with and use in the Customized Solution, one or more electronic payment methods, which shall enable such payments to be received directly by Client. In no event shall DebtResolve receive or be responsible to collect from End-Users any payments made in satisfaction of a debt. Where the settlement provides for more than one payment, the End-User shall make all such payments through the payment methods made available in the Customized Solution to the extent such payments become due during the Term.

Reports. Client shall have real-time access to the data specified on Exhibit C hereto. Customized reports shall be provided to Client as agreed to in writing by the Parties.

FEES. Client shall pay to DebtResolve the fees (collectively, the “Fees”) identified on, and in accordance with the payment schedule in, Part I of Exhibit D. Client shall be responsible for any and all taxes due, assessments or other charges of any kind that may be imposed on DebtResolve or Client by any governmental taxing authority as a result of the goods or services provided under this Agreement other than any taxes based upon the income of DebtResolve.

TERM AND TERMINATION

6.1 Following the Initial Term (or any extension thereof), the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended for additional one (1) year periods unless either party provides the other with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term that it does not intend to extend the current term. The Initial Term plus all extensions thereof may be referred to as the “Term.” Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Client shall not provide to DebtResolve, and DebtResolve shall not be required to process, any Debtor Account Information first provided following any notice of an intent not to renew pursuant to this Section 6.1 or a notice to terminate pursuant to Section 6.3.

6.2 Following the expiration of the Initial Term, Client may terminate this Agreement without cause upon thirty (30) calendar days' prior written notice to DebtResolve.

6.3 Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement for Cause. “Cause” is (i) a material breach of this Agreement (including any Exhibit), which remains uncured thirty (30) days after the breaching party is given written notice of the breach; and (ii) the prosecution of any case, proceeding or other action under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief with respect to such party, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to such party or such party’s debts; or (iii) the making of an assignment or any other arrangement for the general benefit of creditors under any state statute. The parties agree that DebtResolve would be damaged by the early termination of this Agreement, and the amount of such damage is not reasonably susceptible to estimation. Client agrees to pay, as liquidated damages, and not a penalty, in the event that (A) Client terminates this Agreement without Cause prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or (B) DebtResolve terminates this Agreement for Cause, 85% of all monthly fees paid to DebtResolve by Client on a monthly basis over the last three months, or since service started, whichever is shorter multiplied by the number of months remaining in the natural term of this Agreement or remaining in any extension of the natural term. Further, if this Agreement is terminated by DebtResolve for Cause, the liquidated damages set forth in this Section shall also apply. Immediately upon termination or expiration of the Term, (a) Client agrees to: (i) stop using the Customized Solution and any and all related documentation (not including reports provided to Client hereunder) and to return all such documentation to DebtResolve; (ii) return to DebtResolve any other Intellectual Property or Confidential Information of DebtResolve, and (iii) if so requested, certify in writing that it has complied with the foregoing; and (b) DebtResolve agrees to: (i) stop using the Client Trademarks and Client Copyrightable Materials; (ii) return to Client any other Intellectual Property or Confidential Information of Client, and (iii) if so requested, certify in writing that it has complied with the foregoing. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not effect Client’s obligation to make payment of all Fees or other costs related to a period prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration or otherwise in accordance with their terms to the extent any Fee obligation may arise following any such termination or expiration.

6.4 Survival of Terms. Terms and conditions which by their nature survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive and continue beyond the term and termination of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 5, 6 and 7 (including Exhibit E).

EXHIBIT A

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBTRESOLVE SYSTEM

The DebtResolve System is largely comprised of a software product made available over the Internet that permits holders of consumer debts (“Creditors”) to utilize a patented blind bidding system to facilitate the settlement or other type of resolution of such debts with the debtor. The DebtResolve System is designed in such a manner as to enable the debtor to interact directly with the Creditor in connection with the outstanding debt.

The DebtResolve System permits the Creditor administrator access by which Creditor establishes the settlement parameters to be used by the DebtResolve System. Creditor may establish settlement parameters that are a function of both time and amount. For example, for an outstanding balance of $1,000, Creditor could establish settlement parameters that would accept (i) a lump-sum payment of $500, (ii) three monthly payments of $200 for an aggregate payment of $600, or (iii) six monthly payments of $150 for an aggregate payment of $750. The direct administrator access permits the settlement parameters may be modified at any time directly by Creditor without the knowledge or involvement of DebtResolve. DebtResolve will not establish, and shall not be responsible for establishing, settlement parameters for the Creditor.

When a debtor utilizes the DebtResolve System, following compliance by debtor with required security log-in procedures, the debtor will be provided with his or her outstanding balance. At the Creditor’s discretion, the debtor may be provided the opportunity to dispute the outstanding debt and provide Creditor an explanation for the dispute. If the debtor is provided this opportunity and disputes the debt, his or her ability to continue using the DebtResolve System will terminate, and the dispute notice will be transmitted to Creditor. If the debtor does not dispute the debt (or if this option is not provided), the debtor will have an opportunity to make an offer to settle the debt by specifying a payment amount offered by the debtor and selecting from a schedule of payment options established by Creditor by way of the settlement parameters inputted though Creditor’s administrative access. The DebtResolve System will compare the settlement offer against the settlement parameters established by Creditor.

If the debtor’s offer is within Creditor’s settlement parameters, the debtor will receive an immediate reply that the offer was accepted. The debtor will be able to confirm his or her agreement with the settlement and to enter information to permit processing of the payment amount due at that time. Payments are made by debtors directly to Creditor. DebtResolve does not receive payments from any debtor but may provide access to electronic payment gateways.

If the offer is rejected, the debtor will be provided at least two more opportunities to make a better offer. A final opportunity to make an improved offer may be extended after an unsuccessful third round if the third round offer is close to the settlement parameters set by Creditor. Whether an offer is close enough to invite a fourth offer is among the parameters to be set by Creditor. If still unsuccessful after completion of this process, the debtor will have an opportunity to submit any suggestions or other offers directly to Creditor by email. This information is provided directly to Creditor, and no further screens are presented to the debtor until Creditor has contacted the debtor.

For debts which are not subject to settlement, the DebtResolve system may provide the debtor the opportunity to bring the account current, make partial payments or other options to cure the account, as determined by the Creditor.

Infringement.

Defense Against Infringement Claims. . Subject to the penultimate sentence of this paragraph, DebtResolve shall defend and hold harmless Client from and against any infringement claims, demands or actions by a third party relating to the use of the Customized Solution in the Licensed Field and Licensed Territory (“Third Party Infringement Claims”). Client agrees to cooperate with DebtResolve with respect to the foregoing. Client shall have no claim of any kind against DebtResolve based on or arising from DebtResolve’s handling of or decisions concerning any such Third Party Infringement Claim, or any settlement or compromise thereof, and Client hereby irrevocably releases DebtResolve from any such claim. DebtResolve shall have no obligation pursuant to this Section 5 in connection with any claim that arises because of (i) any modification or enhancement to the Customized Solution other than by DebtResolve; (ii) specifications required by Client or materials provided by Client that are included in the Customized Solution (including, without limitation, the Customized Solution Database, Terms of Use, Client Trademarks, Client Copyrightable Materials and privacy policy); (iii) use of the Customized Solution in any way other than as intended and permitted by the Agreement, or (iv) Client’s failure to use a work-around or substitute made available by DebtResolve for the Intellectual Property at issue. In the case of any claim arising by reason identified in the immediately preceding subsections (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), Client will defend, indemnify and hold DebtResolve harmless from any such claims.

Infringement Remedy. In the event that the Customized Solution is held by a court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to a final order from which no legal appeal can be taken, to infringe the Intellectual Property rights of a third party in the Licensed Territory, or threatened to so infringe, then DebtResolve shall use commercially reasonable efforts to either (i) procure for Client the right to continue using the Customized Solution; or (ii) replace or modify the Customized Solution to make the same noninfringing. In the event DebtResolve determines it not to be commercially reasonable to either (i) procure for Client the right to continue using the Customized Solution or (ii) replace or modify the Customized Solution to make the same noninfringing, then DebtResolve may terminate the Agreement, which termination shall relieve Client of its obligations to pay Fees following the date of such final order and entitle Client to reimbursement of any Fees previously paid for the period following the date of the final order. This Section 5.2 sets forth Client’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies, and DebtResolve’s sole and exclusive obligations and liability, under this Agreement with respect to any infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of the Intellectual Property rights of any third party.

Record Retention and Inspection. DebtResolve shall retain the records relating to transactions that occur through the Customized Solution (the “Transaction Records”) for the longer of the records retention guidelines of Client that may be in existence from time to time and provided to DebtResolve in writing, or as is required by law (including the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act). The parties agree that any such records maintained and produced by DebtResolve under this Agreement will be available, in English, at all times, upon reasonable written notice, for examination and audit by governmental agencies having jurisdiction over Client, and specifically the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), The Director of Examinations of any Federal Agency or his or her designated representative will have the right to ask for and to receive directly from DebtResolve any reports, summaries or information contained in or derived from data in the possession of DebtResolve related to Client under 12 USC 1867(c). DebtResolve will notify Client as soon as possible of any formal request by an authorized governmental agency, provided that such notification is permitted under applicable law. At Client's reasonable request, DebtResolve agrees to provide documentation satisfactory to Client of DebtResolve's internal controls and procedures regarding any services provided according to this Agreement, including but not limited to, the DebtResolve System and the Customized Solution.

Indemnification

Indemnification. Subject to Sections 5.2 and 7.3 of these Terms and Conditions, each Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the other Party, and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Party”), harmless from and against any and all Losses, resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with claims due to (i) the material breach by the Indemnifying Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein, or (ii) the negligent acts, omission or, intentionally wrongful or illegal acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party or any of its dealers, agents, employees or subcontractors. In addition, Client agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold DebtResolve, and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from claims, arising out of, or in any way connected with, (a) the Client Trademarks, (b) the Client Copyrightable Materials, or (c) compliance by DebtResolve with any specifications required by Client in connection with the Customized Solution or the related services. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to any Losses by Client resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with Third Party Infringement Claims.

Procedures. With respect to any third-party claims, it will be an ongoing condition of the foregoing indemnity that the Indemnified Party give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any actual or threatened claim, and provide the Indemnifying Party with all reasonably accessible information regarding such claims in the Indemnified Party’s possession. If the Indemnifying Party fails to undertake and continue such defense, the Indemnified Party will have the right (but not the obligation) to make and continue such defense as it considers appropriate, and the expenses and costs thereof, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, out-of-pocket expenses and the costs of an appeal and bond thereof, together with the amounts of any judgment rendered against the Indemnified Party, will be paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of an indemnified claim that does not provide the Indemnified Party with a general release as a condition of settlement without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party.

Damage Limitations. EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES ARISING PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 7 AND 8 OF THIS EXHIBIT E (INDEMNIFICATION AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, RESPECTIVELY) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, DEBTRESOLVE'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE FEES ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY IT DURING THE TERM.

(5)	all information protected by rights embodied in copyrights, whether registered or unregistered (including all derivative works), patents or pending patent applications, "know how,” trade secrets and any other intellectual property rights of the Owner or Owner’s licensors;

(6)

information with respect to employees of Client which is non-public, confidential, business related, or proprietary in nature, including names of employees, the employees’ positions within Client, the fact that they are employees of Client, contact information for employees, personal employee identification numbers, and any other information released to Licensor regarding employees in the past and in the future; and

(7)	all notes, memoranda, analyses, compilations, studies and other documents, whether prepared by the Owner, the Recipient or others, which contain or otherwise reflect Confidential Information.

B. Essential Obligation.

(1)

Confidential Information must be held in confidence and disclosed only to those employees or agents whose duties reasonably require access to such information. Recipient must protect the Owner’s Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, disclosure or duplication (except as required for backup systems) of such Confidential Information as Recipient uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature. Recipient shall establish and maintain data safeguards against the destruction, loss, alteration of or unauthorized access to Owner’s Confidential Information in the possession of Recipient.

(2)

Because Client is a federally-regulated financial institution that must comply with the safeguards for Customer Information contained in the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (“GLBA”) and regulations promulgated pursuant to GLBA, Licensor , as an entity that maintains, processes, or otherwise is permitted access to Customer Information, must establish and maintain data security policies and procedures designed to ensure the following:

a) security and confidentiality of Customer Information;

b) protection against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Customer Information; and

c) protection against the unauthorized access or use of Customer Information.

(3)

Licensor must permit Client to monitor and/or audit Licensor's compliance with this Section during regular business hours upon not less than 48 hours’ prior written notice to Licensor and provide Client copies of audits and system test results acquired by Licensor in relation to the data security policies and procedures designed to meet the requirements set forth above.

C. Compelled Disclosure.

If Recipient is required by a court or governmental agency having proper jurisdiction to disclose any Confidential Information, Recipient must promptly provide the Owner notice of such requirement to enable the Owner to seek an appropriate protective order, provided that such notice is permitted by applicable law.

D. Limited Use of Confidential Information and Survival of Obligations.

Recipient may use the Confidential Information only as necessary for Recipient’s performance under or pursuant to rights granted in this Agreement or a Statement of Work and for no other purpose. Recipient’s limited right to use the Confidential Information expires upon expiration or termination of this Agreement. Recipient’s obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. Upon expiration of Recipient’s limited right to use the Confidential Information, Recipient must return all physical embodiments to Owner or, with Owner’s permission, Recipient may destroy the Confidential Information.

E. Disposition of Confidential Information.

Recipient must develop and maintain appropriate security measures for the proper disposal and destruction of Confidential Information. Upon Expiration of Recipient's limited right to use the Confidential Information, Recipient must return all physical embodiments thereof to Owner or, with Owner's permission, Recipient may destroy the Confidential Information. Recipient shall provide written certification to Owner that Recipient has returned, or destroyed, all such Confidential Information in Recipient's possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may retain one archival copy of Confidential Information, which may be used solely to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this Section.

F. Disclosure to Third Parties.

If disclosure of Confidential Information to third parties is required or allowed under this Agreement, Recipient must ensure that such third parties have express obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure substantially similar to Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement. Recipient will be liable for any and all damages arising out of such third parties’ disclosure of Confidential Information.

G. Exclusions.

The term Confidential Information excludes any portion of such information that Recipient can establish by clear and convincing evidence to have:

(1)	been publicly known without breach of this Agreement;

(2)	been known by Recipient without any obligation of confidentiality, prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information; or

(3)	been received in good faith from a third party source that to Recipient’s reasonable knowledge rightfully disclosed such information; or

(4)	been developed independently by Recipient without reference to the Owner’s Confidential Information.

Remedies.

If Recipient or any of its representatives or agents breaches the covenants set forth in this Agreement, irreparable injury may result to the Owner or third parties entrusting Confidential Information to the Owner. Therefore, the Owner’s remedies at law may be inadequate and the Owner shall be entitled to seek an injunction to restrain any continuing breach. Notwithstanding any limitation on Recipient’s liability, the Owner shall further be entitled any other rights and remedies that it may have at law or in equity.

I.	Intrusions/Disclosures.

If there is any actual or suspected theft of, accidental disclosure of, loss of, or inability to account for any Confidential Information by Recipient or any of its subcontractors (collectively “Disclosure”) and/or any unauthorized intrusions into Recipient’s or any of its subcontractor’s facilities or secure systems (collectively “Intrusion”), Recipient must immediately, i) notify Owner, ii) estimate the Disclosure’s and/or Intrusion’s effect on Owner, iii) specify the corrective action to be taken, iv) investigate and determine if an Intrusion and/or Disclosure has occurred and v) take corrective action to prevent further Disclosure and/or Intrusion. Recipient must, as soon as is reasonably practicable, make a report to Owner including details of the Disclosure (including Customer(s)’ identities and the nature of the information disclosed) and/or Intrusion and the corrective action Recipient has taken to prevent further Disclosure and/or Intrusion. Recipient must, in the case of a Disclosure, cooperate fully with Owner to notify Owner’s Customer(s) as to the facts and circumstances of the Disclosure of the Customer’s particular information (as applicable). Additionally, Recipient must cooperate fully with all government regulatory agencies and law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction and authority for investigating a Disclosure and any known or suspected criminal activity.

J.	PCI Data Security Standard Requirements.

(A)

The provisions set forth in this subsection apply to a Vendor who is a “Service Provider” that either itself, or through a processor, its agent, or subcontractor, stores, processes, handles or transmits cardholder data in any manner. For purposes of this subsection, the term “Cardholder Data” means personally identifiable data about the cardholder (i.e. the plastic card number, card expiration date in combination with the plastic card number, cardholder name in combination with the plastic card number, track data/magnetic stripe, verification numbers XXX0, XXX0, CID, and PIN Block). This term also accounts for other personal insights gathered about the cardholder ‘i.e., addresses, telephone numbers, and so on), assigned by the card issuer that identifies the cardholder’s account or other cardholder personal information. For purposes of this section, a “Service Provider” means any person or entity that maintains, processes, transmits or otherwise is permitted access to Cardholder Data, including through its provision of services to Bank. Customer Information shall include cardholder data and such other customer information as may be defined elsewhere in this Agreement.

(1) Service Provider shall at all times comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard Requirements (“PCI Data Security Standard Requirements”) for Cardholder Data, as they may be amended from time to time. The current PCI Data Security Standard Requirements are available on the following internet website: xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxxx. Service Provider’s failure to comply with PCI Data Security Standard Requirements may result in fines and penalties. Service Provider is fully liable for and shall indemnify, defend and hold Bank harmless from any fines or penalties imposed on Bank due to Service Provider’s lack of compliance with PCI Data Security Standard Requirements.

(2) Cardholder Data may only be used for assisting in completing a card transaction, for fraud control services, for loyalty programs, or as required by applicable law.

(3) If there is a breach or intrusion of, or otherwise unauthorized access to Cardholder Data stored at or for Service Provider, Service Provider shall immediately notify Bank, in the manner required by the PCI Data Security Standard Requirements, and provide Bank and the acquiring financial institution and their respective designees access to Service Provider’s facilities and all pertinent records to conduct an audit of Service Provider’s compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard Requirements. Service Provider shall fully cooperate with any audits of their facilities and records provided for in this paragraph.

(4) Service Provider shall maintain appropriate business continuity procedures and systems to ensure availability and security of Cardholder Data in the event of a disruption, disaster or failure of Service Provider’s primary data systems.

(B)	Service Provider’s and its successors’ and assigns’, compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard Requirements expressly survives termination or expiration of this Agreement.

(C)

Violations of the PCI Data Security Standard Requirements may result in a $50,000 fine for a first violation, $100,000 for a second violation, and a discretionary amount for the third violation. Commission of an egregious violation will be subject violator to a fine of up to $500,000. Please refer to the website listed above for a current list of applicable fines. Service Provider shall indemnify, defend and hold Bank harmless from any fines resulting from Service Provider’s violation of the PCI Data Security Standard Requirements.

(D)	Destruction of Cardholder Data must be completed in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

9. Right to Audit and Obtain Reports

a. The Bank’s business operations are regularly audited by (i) various government agencies having supervisory and regulatory authority over the Bank (the “Regulatory Authorities”) and (ii) the Bank’s own internal auditors. The Bank is also required to audit its vendors.

b. Supplier must fully cooperate with the Bank’s efforts to meet its regulatory obligations and must comply in a timely manner with the Bank’s reasonable requests for documentation and information. Supplier’s refusal or failure to comply is a material breach of this Agreement. If the Bank reasonably determines that Supplier’s data security, internal controls, or financial stability are inadequate and not susceptible to cure within any reasonable time frame or that an unacceptable risk to the Bank or the Bank’s customer's exists, the Bank may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Supplier. The Bank will identify its reasons for such termination in the notice.

c. The following are deemed reasonable requests of the Bank, with which Supplier must comply:

i. Supplier must make its books, records, and operations relating to all products and services provided to the Bank or the Bank's customers available for audit or inspection by the Regulatory Authorities, by the Bank, or by the Bank’s independent auditors with at least 48 hours’ advance written notice from the Bank.

ii. Within five (5) business days of Bank’s written request, Supplier must provide all applicable audit reports, including but not limited to: SAS 70, performance, financial, internal control and security reviews; penetration testing; intrusion detection; and firewall configuration. The foregoing notwithstanding, Supplier is not required to provide reports which the Supplier does not prepare or have prepared in the normal course of Supplier’s business.

iii. If a deficiency is noted or determined in any such audit report, Supplier must also provide to the Bank any and all documentation related to resolution of the audit deficiencies and the corrective actions implemented to prevent recurrence of such deficiency.

d. Supplier must reasonably cooperate with the Bank’s periodic vendor assessments. The Bank is required on an annual or semi-annual basis to perform the following vendor assessments:

i. risk assessments with respect to the providers of goods and services for the Bank's business; and

ii. data security, internal controls and financial stability of those providers commensurate with the level of risk assessed.

e. The terms of this Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason for at least two (2) years, but in no case less than might be required by law or applicable regulation.

10.2 Certificates of Insurance. DebtResolve shall deliver certificates of insurance and additional insured endorsements for the applicable policies, to Client prior to execution of this Agreement and no less than annually and/or upon Client’s request thereafter. The certificates of insurance shall evidence the coverage types, amounts described above and set forth the amount of all deductibles, and will be endorsed:

(i) in the name of Client, its officers, agents, and employees as additional insured (required for General Liability and Commercial Automobile Liability policies only);

(ii) to provide that each of the policies is primary insurance with respect to any other insurance available to Client as to any claim for which coverage is afforded under the policy; and

(iii) to provide that the policy shall apply separate to each insured against whom a claim is made or suit is brought (required for Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability only).

10.3 Subcontractors to be insured. DebtResolve shall require all of its subcontractors to carry insurance coverage and limits as agreed to and approved in writing by Client.

10.4 Cancellation or Lapse of Insurance. DebtResolve shall give thirty (30) days prior written notice to Client of cancellation, non renewal, or material change in coverage, scope or amount of any policy. Should DebtResolve fail to keep in effect at all times the insurance coverages required under this Section, Client may, in addition to and cumulative with any other remedies available at law, equity, or hereunder withhold payments to DebtResolve required under this Agreement in an amount sufficient to procure the insurance required herein. If such right to withhold is insufficient, Client may, at its sole option, procure sufficient insurance coverage or a similar instrument, and Licensor agrees to reimburse Client for any and all costs incurred by Client as a result.

10.5 Claims made coverage.

To the extent that any insurance coverage required under this Section is purchased on a “claims-made” basis, such insurance shall cover all prior acts of Licensor during the term of this Agreement, and such insurance shall be continuously maintained until at least three (3) years beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement, or DebtResolve shall purchase “tail” coverage, effective upon termination of any such policy or such termination or expiration of this Agreement, to provide coverage for at least three (3) years from the occurrence of either such event.

11. USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS. DebtResolve must notify Client in advance in writing of any changes to DebtResolve's significant subcontractors, to the extent that such subcontractors are related to the performance of DebtResolve’s obligations under this Agreement (“Subcontractors”). DebtResolve must not use any Subcontractors that are based outside the United States of America without Client's prior written consent. Absent notification to Client and pre-approval by Client, DebtResolve must not use Subcontractors. Prior to approval, Subcontractors may be required to complete Client's vendor assessment process. Client has the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any of DebtResolve's proposed Subcontractors. If approved, use of Subcontractors is at DebtResolve's sole expense. Notwithstanding Client's approval of subcontractors, DebtResolve is fully responsible and liable for any action(s) or inaction of DebtResolve's Subcontractors and must ensure that all Subcontractors are aware of and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
