2.                                      MULTI-REGIONAL AGREEMENT

 

2.1                               The parties acknowledge that they and their respective Affiliates have entered into various agreements for the provision of the services set forth herein in different jurisdictions around the world.  It is intended that this Agreement shall apply to all territories served by Acquirer and Planet Payment and shall replace all agreements for the provision of the services described herein presently in effect between the parties, other than as otherwise expressly set forth at Schedule 6 hereof, and subject to the terms of each Designated Territory Addendum.

 

2.2.                            The parties intend to enter into a Designated Territory Addendum with respect to each Designated Territory, which is to be subject to this Agreement and with effect from the effective date of each Designated Territory Addendum:

 

(a)                                 The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the Acquirer Program in such Designated Territory.

 

(b)                                 The previous agreement between the parties and their Affiliates relating to such Designated Territory, as specified in the Designated Territory Addendum, shall be terminated and shall cease to have any further force or effect with respect to any Transactions processed in

 

11











 

such Designated Territory on or after the effective date of the relevant Designated Territory Addendum. Such termination shall not affect the rights and obligations respectively of the parties with respect to any Transactions processed prior to the effective date of the relevant Designated Territory Addendum.

 

(c)                                  The additional parties to the Designated Territory Addendum shall assume the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as modified by the relevant Designated Territory Addendum.

 

2.3                               In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement, any Designated Territory Addendum, and any mutually agreed-upon specifications with respect to any of the services to be provided hereunder, solely as it relates to the relevant Designated Territory and the parties to such Designated Territory Addendum, the order of priority shall be: (i) the Designated Territory Addendum; (ii) this Agreement; and (iii) any mutually agreed-upon specifications, except that the terms of any mutually agreed-upon specifications shall take priority over any conflicting terms contained in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, and over such variations to Section 3 or 4 as may be contained in the Designated Territory Addendum to which such specifications relate.

 

2.4                               Each Designated Territory Addendum shall have effect and be interpreted independently of each other Designated Territory Addendum and may be separately modified, terminated or extended without affecting any other Designated Territory Addendum.

 

3.                                      DYNAMIC CURRENCY CONVERSION PROGRAM

 

During the Term and, if applicable, any Termination Assistance Period, Planet Payment shall provide the services described herein for use in connection with the DCC Transactions of Acquirer Merchants located in the Designated Territory.  Planet Payment shall provide the services described herein in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, each Designated Territory Addendum and with mutually agreeable specifications. The following is a description of some of the services in the context of a DCC Transaction subject to any amendments which may be set forth in each Designated Territory Addendum:

 

3.1                               An Acquirer Merchant prices its goods or services in the Merchant’s Local Currency, and a Cardholder decides to purchase such goods or services and presents his Card.

 

3.2                               The Acquirer Merchant swipes or inserts the Cardholder’s Card on a POS terminal owned or provided by Acquirer (or Merchant) that is enabled with software to allow for the processing of DCC Transactions.  The POS terminal application determines whether the Transaction is a Foreign Transaction or Domestic Transaction.  All Foreign Transactions will initially be routed to Planet Payment via the existing network infrastructure, communications links, and interfaces owned by Acquirer (or a third person) and in mutually agreed formats.  Domestic Transactions will not be routed to Planet Payment, but instead will be routed by the POS terminals via the Acquirer’s existing network to the Acquirer, and all such Domestic Transactions shall be authorized, cleared and settled by Acquirer (or a third person). Planet Payment will not be entitled to any compensation hereunder for Domestic Transactions.

 

12











 

3.3                               Prior to submission to the applicable Card Association for authorization and clearing, Planet Payment will identify all Foreign Transactions routed to it by the Acquirer Merchants’ POS terminals as either eligible for processing as a DCC Transaction, or not (i.e., Non-Approved Currency Transactions).  If Planet Payment determines that a Foreign Transaction is a Non-Approved Currency Transaction, prior to submission to the applicable Card Association for authorization, it shall respond to the Acquirer Merchant’s POS terminal with a message indicating “un-supported currency” and the Acquirer Merchant’s POS terminal shall then reformat the authorization message and route it to the Acquirer Platform. All such Non-Approved Currency Transactions routed to the Acquirer, shall be authorized, cleared, and settled by Acquirer (or a  third person). Planet Payment will not be entitled to any compensation hereunder for Non-Approved Currency Transactions.

 

3.4                               Planet Payment shall convert the Purchase Amount of all DCC-eligible Transactions (i.e., Foreign Transactions except Non-Approved Currency Transactions) to the Approved Currency in which the particular Card is denominated at the “Effective Exchange Rate,” which shall be calculated by multiplying the Base Conversion Rate by the Currency Conversion Mark-up, and adding such product to the Base Conversion Rate.  The Cardholder Settlement Amount, along with the Effective Exchange Rate, shall then be communicated by Planet Payment back to the Merchant for communication to the Cardholder in accordance with the Rules applicable to DCC.  Planet Payment shall submit the transaction to the applicable Card Association for authorization after looking up the appropriate rate, as described above in this Section. Authorization may occur prior to or after communicating the rate and Cardholder Settlement Amount back to the Merchant for communication to the Cardholder, as agreed to by the parties depending on the POS environment.

 

3.5                               If the Cardholder does not choose to complete the Transaction in the Approved Currency of the Card, the Transaction becomes an Opt Out Transaction.  Planet Payment shall respond to the Acquirer Merchant’s POS terminal with a message indicating that the Cardholder has “opted out” and the Acquirer Merchant’s POS terminal shall then reformat the authorization message and route all such Opt Out Transactions to the Acquirer Platform, where they shall be authorized (if necessary), cleared, and settled by Acquirer (or a third person). Planet Payment will not be entitled to any compensation hereunder for Opt Out Transactions.

 

3.6                               Pursuant to Section 3.4 above, Planet Payment will submit an authorization request for each such DCC eligible Transaction to the applicable Card Association utilizing Planet Payment’s Visa or MasterCard authorization interface, in an amount equal to the Cardholder Settlement Amount (in the Approved Currency of the Card).

 

3.7                               All approvals and declines of authorization requests for Transactions shall be routed by Planet Payment to the Acquirer Merchant via the Acquirer Platform.

 

3.8                               For DCC Transactions that are authorized by the relevant Card Association, each Acquirer Merchant will initiate Transaction batch closings from its POS terminal.  The Planet Payment Switch will receive the batch close command and will prepare the Transactions for clearing to the Planet Payment Merchant Accounting System.  The Planet Payment Merchant Accounting System will receive inbound Transaction files from the Planet Payment Switch and will send authorization log files, settlement files and merchant funding files to Acquirer Platform in mutually agreed formats and at mutually agreeable intervals.  Acquirer will out-process the

 

13











 

Transactions to Visa and MasterCard through the Acquirer Platform in the Cardholder Settlement Amount.

 

3.9                               Once the DCC Transaction has been cleared to the issuer of the Card, the Card Association will settle the Transaction by funding the BIN/ICA account established for Transactions processed by the Acquirer Platform in the Designated Territory in the Acquirer Settlement Amount.  The Acquirer Settlement Amount may differ from the amount submitted to the Card Association for authorization, due to exchange rate fluctuations between the time of authorization and the time of settlement.  Such fluctuation creates a Settlement Gain or Settlement Loss, explained further in Section 7.5(a).  The Acquirer (or the relevant Sponsor) shall be responsible for funding Acquirer  Merchants for DCC Transactions in accordance with the terms of the agreement between such Acquirer Merchants and Acquirer.

 

3.10                        On each Banking Day, Acquirer will provide to Planet Payment, in a mutually agreed format, the designated clearing data files regarding each DCC Transaction submitted to and received from the Card Associations to enable Planet Payment to make calculations and generate reports relating to the Program as required under this Agreement.

 

3.11                        In the case of a Chargeback, Acquirer will receive Chargeback data from the applicable Card Association.  Acquirer will provide such information to Planet Payment, and Acquirer will be responsible for all Chargeback reporting.

 

3.12                        If Acquirer chooses to re-present the Chargeback, Acquirer will out-process the re-presented sales (or credits) to the applicable Card Association.  Acquirer will provide to Planet Payment re-presentment data out-processed to the applicable Card Association.  In addition, Acquirer will provide to Planet Payment on a daily basis a data file containing all exception items that are not included in the daily files received from each Card Association, including but not limited to all items rejected by the Acquirer Platform, all items rejected by the Card Association edit packages, and all re-presentments input into the Acquirer Platform relating to Foreign Transactions processed through the Planet Payment Platform.

 

3.13                        Using the DCC at ATMs Program, when a Cardholder inserts a Card at an ATM, the ATM determines if the Card is eligible for the DCC at ATMs Program.  If so, the Cardholder is presented with the option to be charged for the ATM withdrawal in the currency in which the Card is denominated and is shown the conversion rate and withdrawal amount in both the withdrawal currency and the currency in which the Card is denominated, in order to assist the Cardholder in making a decision. If the Cardholder “opts in” and decides to be charged for the withdrawal in the currency of the Card, the withdrawal is authorized and submitted to the relevant network for clearing and settlement in the currency of the Card. However, upon settlement to the Acquirer, the withdrawal Transaction is converted back into the settlement currency so that Acquirer can pay the ATM operator in the local currency, such that the ATM provider gets paid what it expected to get paid, i.e. the original price of the withdrawal in its local currency (plus any ATM usage fee and less the usual processing fees). The Cardholder is billed the exact amount, in his local currency, as shown on the ATM screen that the Cardholder accepted electronically.  The ATM receipt reflects both the amount of the withdrawal in the local currency and the amount that Cardholder has agreed to be charged in the currency of the Card.  Fees relevant to the DCC at ATMs Program shall be as set forth on Schedule 1 of this Agreement.

4.                                      MULTI-CURRENCY PRICING PROGRAM

 

This Section 4 shall apply only with respect to the MCP Designated Territories and shall have no effect in any other territory, including any other Designated Territory or any excluded territory listed in Schedule 6. During the Term and, if applicable, any Termination Assistance Period, at Acquirer’s request, Planet Payment shall provide the services described herein for use in connection with the MCP Transactions of Acquirer Merchants located in the MCP Designated Territory.  Planet Payment shall provide the services described herein in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, each Designated Territory Addendum and mutually agreeable specifications. With respect to any new MCP Designated Territories agreed after the date hereof, the obligations in this Section 4 shall be subject to completion of implementation of the Acquirer MCP Program in accordance with a project implementation plan to be mutually agreed upon. .  The following is a description of some of the services in the context of an MCP Transaction, subject to any amendments which may be set forth in each Designated Territory Addendum:

 

4.1                               An Acquirer Merchant prices its goods or services in one or more Approved Currencies and a Cardholder decides to purchase such goods or services at a price denominated in an Approved Currency and presents his Card for such purchase.

 

4.2                               The Cardholder enters his Card details on Merchant’s Internet website or the Acquirer Merchant swipes or inserts the Cardholder’s Card on a POS terminal owned or provided by Acquirer (or Merchant) that is enabled with software to allow for the processing of MCP Transactions, or keys the Card details into a virtual terminal.  All MCP Transactions will be routed to Planet Payment via the existing network infrastructure, communications links, and interfaces owned by Acquirer (or a third person) and in mutually agreed upon formats.  Domestic Transactions will not be routed to Planet Payment, but instead will be routed by the POS via the Acquirer’s existing network to the Acquirer, and all such Domestic Transactions shall be authorized, cleared and settled by Acquirer. Planet Payment will not be entitled to any compensation hereunder for Domestic Transactions.

 

4.3                               Planet Payment will submit an authorization request for each MCP Transaction received by the Planet Payment Platform to the applicable Card Association utilizing Planet Payment’s Visa or MasterCard authorization interface, in an amount equal to the Cardholder Settlement Amount in the Approved Currency selected by the Cardholder.

 

4.4                               If the MCP Transaction is duly authorized by the Card Association, Planet Payment shall calculate the Merchant’s Settlement Amount by converting the Purchase Amount of such MCP Transaction from the Approved Currency in which the Transaction is priced, to the Merchant’s Local Currency at the “Effective Exchange Rate,” which shall be calculated by multiplying the Base Conversion Rate by the Currency Conversion Mark-up, and adding (or subtracting, as the case may be) such product to the Base Conversion Rate.  The Merchant Settlement Amount, along with the Effective Exchange Rate, shall then be communicated by Planet Payment back to the Merchant as part of the authorization message.

 

4.5                               If required by Acquirer or any particular Acquirer Merchant, Planet Payment shall make available tables of applicable Effective Exchange Rates for download by Acquirer Merchants.

 

4.6                               The provisions of Sections 3.7 through 3.12 of this Agreement shall apply to MCP Transactions in the same manner that they apply to DCC Transactions.

(c)                                  In the event that any Acquirer Merchant or Acquirer chooses to use any VAR solution or services in connection with the processing of the DCC Transactions, Planet Payment shall allow such VAR to connect to the Planet Payment Platform at no cost, which shall include the provision of applicable specifications, technical assistance in the implementation of the VAR, and all testing and certification required, provided that (a) such VAR connection shall not require Planet Payment to undertake any development to the Planet Payment Platform; and (b) such VAR connection shall not require Planet Payment to process or route Domestic Transactions, Opt-Out Transactions or Non-Approved Currency Transactions.

(ii)                                  If (a) DCC Transactions processed by Planet Payment suffer an Interchange downgrade which means that such Transactions do not qualify for the lowest Interchange rate achieved by Acquirer in the Designated Territory for the applicable type of Transaction, and (b) such Interchange downgrade occurred as a result of the Planet Payment Platform or of any other act or omission of Planet Payment and was not as a result of the acts or omissions of any third party, including but not limited to any Acquirer Merchant, the relevant Sponsor, Acquirer or any of its Affiliates, then Planet Payment shall be responsible to remedy the situation as soon as possible after being notified of such downgrade.  After Acquirer notifies Planet Payment of the occurrence of the Interchange downgrade, Planet Payment shall be responsible to reimburse Acquirer for the additional Interchange amount charged by the Card Association for such downgrades, unless such amount is borne by a third party including the Acquirer Merchant, with respect to all such downgrades which occur after the date of such notification.  If (a) and (b) occurred as a result of the acts or omissions of any third party, including but not limited to any Acquirer Merchant, the relevant Sponsor, Acquirer or any of its Affiliates, but if the issue that caused the downgrade can reasonably be resolved by a change within the Planet Payment Platform identified by Acquirer, Planet Payment shall be responsible to make such change as soon as possible after notification of the change by Acquirer and in any event within 30 days thereafter.  If however, the resolution cannot immediately be identified by the parties, Planet Payment shall promptly upon notification of the downgrade apply sufficient dedicated resources as soon as possible in order try to identify the cause of the downgrade and whether it is something that can reasonably be resolved by a change within the Planet Payment Platform, or whether it is something that is outside of Planet Payment’s control.  If it turns out to be a matter outside of Planet Payment’s control then Planet Payment shall have no responsibility whatsoever under this section, either to remedy the problem causing the downgrades or make any payment to Acquirer.  If a required  change to the Planet Payment Platform is identified by either party then Planet Payment shall make such change as soon as possible and Planet Payment shall be responsible to reimburse Acquirer for the additional Interchange amount charged by the Card Association for such downgrades, which result from the failure to make such change, unless such amount is borne by a third party including the Acquirer Merchant, with respect to all such downgrades, which occur more than thirty (30) days after the date of notification of the required change to or by Planet Payment.  Nothing herein shall require Planet Payment to routinely report, analyze or investigate Interchange downgrades, except that it shall investigate downgrades and the reasons therefor, when notified of a problem by Acquirer.  In such an event, the parties shall work together to identify the problem, including Acquirer providing assistance with obtaining all regional Card Association information and bulletins, which may be relevant.

 

(iii)                           In the event that Acquirer wishes Planet Payment to support Merchant industries and Card Association Interchange programs that it does not currently support, or wishes to change the way in which Planet Payment supports Interchange programs for currently supported Merchant industries then Acquirer shall give Planet Payment advance notice thereof and shall provide Planet Payment with all relevant information, including all regional Card Association information and bulletins to enable it to make required changes to its Platform.  Planet Payment shall use reasonable commercial efforts to make the necessary changes to support the additional Interchange programs as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days

 

19











 

after receipt of all necessary information from Acquirer, or such other date as the parties may agree.  In such an event the provisions of Section 6.2(d)(ii) above shall be applicable on the earliest of (a) the date Planet Payment supports such Merchant industry or Interchange program or (b) on the 31st day after Planet Payment’s receipt of notice in according with the foregoing two sentences, or such other date as the parties may agree.

 

(iv)                          In addition, in the event that during the Term of this Agreement and any Termination Assistance Period any Card Association offers other incentives, or charges penalties which, in order to be earned or avoided, require Planet Payment to make changes to the Planet Payment Platform or the manner in which the Planet Payment Processing Services are provided, then at the request of the Acquirer but, at no additional cost to Acquirer, Planet Payment shall make such changes within the time periods specified by such Card Association in order for Acquirer to avoid such penalties at the earliest applicable time depending upon the terms of such penalty. In the case of incentives, Planet Payment shall make such changes and use commercially reasonable efforts to make such changes within the time periods specified by such Card Association in order for Acquirer to earn such incentives at the earliest applicable time depending upon the terms of such incentive.

 

(v)                             Any amounts under this sub-section due to Acquirer may be paid by way of deduction from the Planet Payment Revenue, at Acquirer’s option.

 

6.3                               Transaction Networks

 

All Transactions transmitted from Acquirer Merchant POS terminals to the Planet Payment Platform shall be transmitted via a network, consisting of network infrastructure, communication links, and interfaces, provided by Acquirer.  Acquirer shall make (or cause to be made) (if required) such modifications to the Acquirer Platform, its network infrastructure, communication links, and interfaces to facilitate the integration between such network infrastructure, communications links and interfaces and the Planet Payment Platform, as necessary for Acquirer to participate in and support the Program.  Planet Payment shall not use such network for any purposes other than the Program, without the prior consent of Acquirer.

 

6.4                               Planet Payment Platform.

 

(a)                                 Authorization Host  The Acquirer Merchants and certain VARs will utilize the Planet Payment Platform in order to facilitate the authorization of DCC and MCP Transactions under the Program.  It is understood that the Planet Payment’s authorization host is a component of the Planet Payment Platform and, as such, the software, technology and processes comprising the Planet Payment authorization host are proprietary to Planet Payment.  Acquirer acknowledges and agrees that for load balancing, back-up or redundancy purposes their traffic may be moved to different Planet Payment sites for authorizations, provided that the service is not affected.  Planet Payment represents and warrants that all sites and Transaction re-routing are operated in accordance with the applicable Account Security Program.

 

(b)                                 Planet Payment Merchant Accounting System  Acquirer, Merchants and certain VARs may utilize the Planet Payment Merchant Accounting System in order to access data, calculations, and reporting relating to DCC and MCP Transactions as provided by Planet Payment hereunder.  It is understood that the Planet Payment Merchant Accounting System is a

 

20











 

component of the Planet Payment Platform and, as such, the software, technology and processes comprising the Planet Payment Merchant Accounting System are proprietary to Planet Payment.

 

6.5                               Merchant Set-up  Planet Payment will be responsible to set-up a Merchant pursuant to Acquirer’s instructions in accordance with the templates mutually agreed upon by the parties.  Acquirer shall from time to time submit Merchant and Merchant Outlet information to Planet Payment for boarding on the Planet Payment Platform, using the Bulk File in such manner as Planet Payment shall reasonably require.  The Bulk File load interface facilitates the setup and maintenance of various data elements that, when put into production, will have a direct financial impact to a number of areas of Acquirer’s Merchant portfolio including Merchant information, pricing, fee and revenue billing and sharing.  Whether using the Bulk File interface or paper submissions, Acquirer has sole responsibility, and Planet Payment is not responsible, for all  financial consequences arising out of any errors or omissions by Acquirer in the setup and maintenance of those data elements and the Bulk File content provided by Acquirer. If Planet Payment identifies in the Bulk File any deviations from contractually agreed to items, such as revenue sharing, Planet Payment shall notify Acquirer and will expect any issues to be rectified as soon as practicable but notwithstanding the foregoing Planet Payment has no obligation to review the contents of the Bulk File submitted by Acquirer, other than to ensure data integrity of the File for loading purposes, in accordance with the current Bulk File specification.

 

6.6                               Merchant Customer Service

 

(a)                                 Planet Payment has provided and will continue to provide training to Acquirer’s personnel in order to enable such personnel to successfully market the Program and shall provide reasonable assistance to Acquirer in training Acquirer Merchants in order to enable them to comply with all Card Association Rules regarding their offering of the Dynamic Currency Conversion service.

 

(b)                                 In the same manner that Acquirer provides customer service to its Acquirer Merchants regarding non-DCC services, it will also provide first level support (only) to Acquirer Merchants regarding DCC services, which shall mean initial inbound telephonic or written troubleshooting.  Planet Payment will train the designated Acquirer representatives on the DCC process in any new Designated Territory that was not supporting DCC prior to the date hereof.  Planet Payment’s PWEB system will enable Acquirer to provide the information needed to resolve most Merchant inquiries relating to financial aspects of their DCC Transactions.  If there are questions regarding DCC processing or revenue share that Acquirer cannot answer, Acquirer will liaise with Planet Payment to report and resolve the inquiry.  Planet Payment will make a designated operations point of contact available for such purpose 24 hours a day 7 days a week and the parties will agree on a process for receiving, tracking, and resolving customer inquiries with the Acquirer, in each Designated Territory.

 

(c)                                  Acquirer shall also provide first-level POS terminal help desk support (initial inbound telephonic or written troubleshooting) for its Acquirer Merchants who have problems regarding the DCC functionality of their POS terminals.  Planet Payment will train the designated Acquirer representatives (or designated representatives from any other entity who may provide terminal support to Acquirer Merchants) on the elements of DCC processing that are pertinent to POS terminals in any new Designated Territory that was not supporting DCC prior to the date hereof.  Planet Payment’s PWEB system will enable Acquirer to provide the

 

21











 

information needed to resolve most Merchant inquiries.  If there are questions regarding DCC processing on POS terminals that Acquirer cannot answer, Acquirer will liaise with Planet Payment to report and resolve the inquiry.  Planet Payment will make a designated POS terminal specialist point of contact available for such purpose 24 hours a day 7 days a week and the parties will agree on a process for receiving, tracking, and resolving POS terminal issues and inquiries with the Acquirer, in each Designated Territory.

 

6.7                               Reporting.

 

(a)                                 Acquirer Reports.  Planet Payment will perform all revenue calculations and calculate and track the Purchase Amounts, Acquirer Settlement Amounts, Merchant Settlement Amounts, Gross FX Margins, Presentment Gains, Presentment Losses, Settlement Gains, Settlement Losses,  and Interchange Differentials for all purposes under this Agreement.  Planet Payment will generate and provide to Acquirer electronic reporting to substantiate all such settlement and revenue calculations, settlement and presentment gains/losses, in a mutually agreed upon format and at mutually agreeable intervals, which shall initially comprise the reports set forth in Schedule 2, paragraphs C2 and C3.  Planet Payment will provide certain personnel designated by Acquirer with full access to Acquirer’s data which is stored in the Planet Payment Merchant Accounting System via a secure and Account Security Program-compliant web interface, in accordance with mutually agreed procedures. Planet Payment’s reporting obligations under this section shall be carried out in accordance with Acquirer’s reasonable requirements and Planet Payment represents and warrants that all reports accurately represent all data received by the Planet Payment Platform from Acquirer relating to Transactions, as well as all calculations required hereunder in relation thereto. Acquirer agrees to promptly review all reporting and data files provided or made available by Planet Payment, as well as Acquirer’s own Transaction records and to monitor and reconcile all Acquirer Merchants’ activities, the underlying Transactions, revenue and fee calculations, billing and adjustments relating to all Transaction processed hereunder; provided, however, that its failure to promptly identify any errors or discrepancies shall not in any way adversely impact its legal rights and remedies available hereunder. Planet Payment shall provide Acquirer with access to PWEB-Multi-BIN Acquirer, PWEB-Acquirer, and PWEB-Participant. Planet Payment shall make PWEB-Participant available to any party designated by Acquirer, who has a reasonable need to use that system for the purposes of the Program.

 

(b)                                 Merchant Reporting.  Planet Payment shall make available to Acquirer Merchants certain information regarding their Transactions processed under the Acquirer Program, via Planet Payment’s “MWeb” Internet based reporting system, in accordance with the MWeb documentation.  Enhanced or customized reporting and data analytics reports may be provided to Acquirer Merchants but there may be a reasonable additional cost to such Acquirer Merchant in connection with such enhanced or customized reporting, to be agreed by the parties, which shall be shared by the parties in such proportions as they shall agree.

 

6.8                               Suspension of Approved Currencies. Planet Payment may suspend processing for any Approved Currency in accordance with the following procedure:

 

(a)                                 If Planet Payment suspends processing for any particular Approved Currency, it shall notify Acquirer in accordance with the contact information set forth in Schedule 2, as soon

 

22











 

as practicable after the suspension commences.  Such notification shall be completed within 2 hours of the suspension.

 

(b)                                 Planet Payment shall within 24 hours after the suspension provide Acquirer a written explanation of the reason for the suspension and Planet Payment’s initial proposal for dealing with the situation.

 

(c)                                  Thereafter the parties shall promptly meet to discuss the conditions that gave rise to the suspension and endeavor to agree to a methodology for deciding whether and when the suspension can be lifted.

 

(d)                                 Once the parties are reasonably satisfied that it is reasonably safe to re-commence processing of the relevant Approved Currency, having regard to the currency or other market risks involved, the suspension shall be lifted.

 

(e)                                  If the parties are unable to agree on the lifting of any suspension, then such suspension shall continue in effect.

 

6.9                               Changes to the Service. At any time Acquirer may elect to make changes to the services being provided hereunder or to add features and functionality as long as those changes are currently offered by Planet Payment or can be supported by Planet Payment with a minimal level of effort and provided that such changes shall not require Planet Payment to process or route Domestic Transactions, Opt-Out Transactions or Non-Approved Currency Transactions; all such changes shall be provided at no additional charge by Planet Payment.  In the event Acquirer elects to make changes to the services being provided hereunder or to add features and functionality other than as described immediately above, the parties agree that they will work together in good faith to determine if compensation should be paid to Planet Payment for such changes; provided that in the event any change(s) or enhancement(s) to Planet Payment’s system platform are made that are beneficial to both Planet Payment and Acquirer with respect to revenue opportunities, the parties will negotiate in good faith to determine whether such change(s) and enhancement(s) should be provided at no additional cost(s) and with no adjustment(s) to the Net FX Margin.  Acquirer shall give Planet Payment written notice of the required changes and Planet Payment shall respond within a reasonable time notifying Acquirer whether it can make such changes in accordance with the provisions of this section and if so, giving an estimate of how long it will take to make such changes, and whether (other than those changes described in the first sentence of this Section) it seeks compensation for making such changes.

 

6.10                        Notice of Going Concern Opinion. For the duration of the Term, Planet Payment shall furnish to Acquirer prompt (and in any event within five business days) written notice of the issuance by its independent public accountants of a “going concern” opinion. Any notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of an executive officer of Planet Payment setting forth the reasons such an opinion was issued and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto.

 

6.11                        Vendor Management.  Planet Payment shall make commercially reasonable efforts to, within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, establish, implement and maintain a formal vendor management program for assessing and managing risk associated with third parties that

 

23












 

have access to Acquirer’s data in order to ensure Acquirer’s compliance with the FFIEC Outsourcing Technology Services requirements with respect to Planet Payment and its third party vendors. Planet Payment’s vendor management program shall include formal documentation of due diligence, risk assessment and vendor monitoring procedures, with proper oversight.

 

6.12                        Succession Planning. Planet Payment shall make commercially reasonable efforts to, within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, establish, implement and maintain a formal succession plan for key personnel, which will address the identification and training of successors for these key roles. The succession plan (or a separate plan) will provide for a formal training and cross-training program to minimize the risk of a loss of institutional knowledge in connection with the departure of key personnel.

 

6.13                        Access and Security Reporting.  Planet Payment shall, on a monthly basis, provide Acquirer with a detailed report of its access, security, business continuity and disaster recovery activity, the specific contents of which shall be mutually agreed by the parties; provided that no report shall be provided for a month during which there is no such activity to report.  In addition,  Planet Payment shall provide detailed reports with respect to each of the following, in each case promptly after its occurrence: (i) changes to key security personnel and substantive changes to policies and protocol, (ii) the occurrence and resolution of critical security incidents, (iii) results of any third-party assessments (such as, without limitation, PCI compliance and certifications, penetration testing and SSAE 16 reports) and (iv) results of any disaster recovery testing.

 

7.                                      REVENUE, FEES AND SHARING OF COSTS

 

7.1                               Currency Conversion Mark-up.  Acquirer, in its sole discretion, will set the Currency Conversion Mark-up for each Acquirer Merchant location (which will apply to all DCC Transactions and MCP Transactions submitted to Planet Payment from such location under the Program) and will notify Planet Payment of such Currency Conversion Mark-up in the set up form for such location.  In the event there is a material shift in market conditions, Acquirer and Planet Payment agree to discuss in good faith whether the Currency Conversion Mark-up should be modified.  Acquirer shall have the right to change the Currency Conversion Mark-up for any Acquirer Merchant upon not less than 48 hours notice to Planet Payment.

 

7.2                               Distribution of DCC Revenue.

 

(a)            Merchant Revenue.  The Acquirer may offer as compensation to its Acquirer Merchants a portion of the Gross FX Margin as compensation for participation in the Acquirer DCC Program (“Merchant Revenue”).  Acquirer agrees that in setting the Merchant Revenue it will not [*] in the [*], which is [*] than the [*] in the [*].  However, exceptions to that general rule may be made, in Acquirer’s sole discretion, on a case by case basis where reasonably 

 




* Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

24











 

required, in Acquirer’s sole opinion, to secure particular Merchant business; provided, however, that without the prior written (including email) approval of Planet Payment (which Planet Payment shall not unreasonably withhold), Merchant Revenue for any particular Merchant shall not exceed [*] of the Purchase Amount of any DCC Transaction for which Planet Payment’s portion of the Net FX Margin as set forth in Section 1 of Schedule 1, calculated at the time the consent is requested after giving effect to the proposed Merchant Revenue, would be less than [*]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquirer shall not be required to obtain Planet Payment’s consent with respect to any Merchant that, immediately prior to the effective date of the relevant Designated Territory Addendum, was an Acquirer Merchant (or an Affiliate of an Acquirer Merchant) entitled to receive Merchant Revenue in excess [*] ([*]%), whether in the relevant Designated Territory Addendum or any other territory. Within five (5) business days after receipt from Acquirer of a written (including email) request for such consent, Planet Payment shall either provide its written consent or explain, in writing (including email), the specific reasons it believes the proposed Merchant Revenue is not consistent with market prices in the Designated Territory. If Acquirer does not receive Planet Payment’s written response within five (5) business days after submitting Acquirer’s request for such consent, Planet Payment’s consent shall be deemed to have been given. Planet Payment represents that the Planet Payment Merchant Accounting System has the capability to calculate merchant revenue sharing amounts on a per-Merchant basis, at Acquirer’s option. Planet Payment will be responsible for calculating the Merchant Revenue on a monthly basis. Planet Payment shall make reports available and provide files to Acquirer (in a mutually agreeable format and at mutually agreeable intervals) detailing each participant’s revenue share. Planet Payment shall have no responsibility for making any payments of any kind due to Acquirer Merchants.

 

(b)            Planet Payment Revenue and Acquirer Revenue.  In consideration of Planet Payment’s services provided hereunder, Planet Payment will be entitled to receive such portion of the Net FX Margin as is set forth in Section 1 of Schedule 1 and Acquirer shall be entitled to the balance as the Acquirer Revenue.  Notwithstanding the above in the event that the calculation pursuant to Section 1 of Schedule 1 results in Planet Payment receiving less than [*] of the Purchase Amount of any DCC Transaction, then the Planet Payment Revenue shall be increased with respect to such DCC Transactions to the extent necessary for Planet Payment to receive [*] of the Purchase Amount of such DCC Transactions.  In the event that in accordance with Section 7.2 (a) above, the prevailing market practice in the Designated Territory results in a general increase in levels of Merchant Revenue and/or a general decrease in levels of Currency Conversion Mark-Up, and as a result the provisions of the previous sentence are required to be applied on a broad basis across Acquirer’s Merchant portfolio, then the parties shall in good faith discuss a reduction in such minimum amount having regard to the then prevailing market conditions.

 

(c)             VAT and Similar Taxes.  In the event that value added taxes or sales taxes are imposed on gross revenues or charges, with respect to the whole or any part of the Net FX 

 




* Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

25











 

Margin, such taxes shall be shared by the parties in the same proportion as they share the Net FX Margin. To the extent that such taxes are recoverable from or chargeable to Acquirer Merchants (or any other third person), such amount recovered or charged shall be shared by the parties in the same proportion as they share the Net FX Margin.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall be solely responsible for business, income, or other similar taxes imposed (via withholding or otherwise) on the revenue share or other amounts paid to such party under this Agreement.

 

(d)            Withholding Taxes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall be solely responsible for business, income, or other similar taxes imposed on the revenue share or other amounts paid to such party under this Agreement.  To the extent that Acquirer intends to pay Planet Payment its revenue share and fees due hereunder from within the Designated Territory and such payments shall be subject to deductions for withholding taxes in accordance with applicable law in the Designated Territory, the following provisions shall apply.

 

(i)        Not less than thirty (30) days prior to commencement of any withholding hereunder, or any change in the withholding hereunder, Acquirer shall provide Planet Payment reasonable advance notice, together with a written basis for the obligation to withhold taxes from such payments, or to change the amount of taxes to be withheld from such payments.  In addition, Acquirer shall provide such documentation as Planet Payment may reasonably require in order to claim credit for the taxes so withheld against taxes payable in its home jurisdiction.

 

(ii)     Acquirer shall make commercially reasonable efforts, including such commercially reasonable steps as may be requested by Planet Payment, in order to minimize or eliminate the amount withheld from payments to Planet Payment. Planet Payment shall be responsible for all costs incurred at Planet Payment’s request to minimize or eliminate withholding taxes, which shall be passed through to Planet Payment.

 

(iii)  For so long as it continues to withhold any taxes hereunder, Acquirer shall prepare and file all tax returns, certificates of withholding and other documentation to be filed by Acquirer and/or provided to Planet Payment evidencing the withholding tax amounts and the payment by Acquirer of such taxes to the relevant authorities.  Acquirer shall in addition provide such documentation as Planet Payment may reasonably require in order to claim credit for the taxes so withheld against taxes payable in its home jurisdiction.

 

7.3                               Distribution of MCP Revenue.

 

(a)            Typically, Merchants do not share in Gross FX Margin arising from MCP Transactions, as they have the ability to set the price in the Approved Currency, at their discretion. Pursuant to Section 4.5 above, Acquirer Merchants can be provided with the applicable Effective Exchange Rates so that they can calculate the cost to them of the service and to assist them in setting the appropriate Purchase Amounts in each Approved Currency.  Neither Planet Payment nor Acquirer has any responsibility for setting any Acquirer Merchants’ prices in any currency, which shall be each Merchant’s sole responsibility. In consideration of Planet Payment’s services provided hereunder, with respect to MCP Transactions in each MCP Designated Territory of each Acquirer Merchant Outlet participating in the Acquirer MCP Program, Planet Payment will be entitled to receive a share of the Gross FX Margin calculated as set forth in Section 2 of Schedule 1.

 

26











 

7.4                               Fees for Gateway Services.

 

(a)                                 Acquirer shall be solely responsible for the billing and collection of all fees for the Gateway Services from Gateway Merchants.  Planet Payment shall provide Acquirer with the reporting in connection with such billing and collection, but such billing and collection shall be in Acquirer’s sole control and discretion.

 

(b)                                 Acquirer agrees to pay to Planet Payment fees for the processing of Non-DCC Transactions received by Planet Payment from the Gateway Merchants by means of the Gateway Services, as more particularly set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.

 

(c)                                  Fees for the processing of DCC Transactions shall be as set forth in this Agreement, subject to the additional fees payable to MICROS, which are to be shared by the parties, as more particularly set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.

 

(d)                                 On a monthly basis, Planet Payment shall calculate the total fees applicable to Transactions processed by the Gateway Merchants in the prior calendar month (“Monthly Total Fees”) and invoice Acquirer for the amount due from Acquirer to Planet Payment in each MICROS Designated Territory pursuant to this Section 5.  All invoices rendered pursuant to this Section 5 shall be due and payable within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Acquirer, provided that there is no valid dispute on such invoice, in which event Acquirer shall pay the undisputed amount on a timely basis.

 

(e)                                  All amounts shall be payable to Planet Payment to such account(s) as Planet Payment shall designate in the Acquirer’s settlement currency of the relevant MICROS Designated Territory, or at the Acquirer’s option in Hong Kong or U.S. dollars.

 

7.5                               Exchange Rate Fluctuation Risk.

 

(a)                               Settlement Gains/Losses.  The parties acknowledge that fluctuations may occur between the currency conversion rates used at the time of authorization and those used at the time of settlement of Foreign Transactions by the Card Associations.  Such fluctuations will affect the Acquirer Settlement Amount and therefore the amount of Gross FX Margin that may be earned with respect to particular Foreign Transactions, which may be higher or lower than the amount anticipated at the time of the Transaction, thus creating either Settlement Gains or Settlement Losses.  The parties will share such Settlement Gains and Settlement Losses in the proportions in which they share the Net FX Margin unless Acquirer elects to pass through any or all of such Settlement Gains and Settlement Losses to the Acquirer Merchant.

 

(b)                               Timely Manner.  As a general rule the parties will only bear the exchange rate fluctuation risk for Foreign Transactions that are presented to Planet Payment in a timely manner.  As a general rule the Acquirer Merchant shall solely bear the amount of any Presentment Losses incurred for Foreign Transactions presented to Planet Payment more than 48 hours following the Transaction date and time (or such other time limit as may be agreed to by the parties).  The Acquirer Merchant shall be charged (or the Merchant Settlement Amount offset by) such Presentment Losses.  Any fee charged to Acquirer Merchants by the Acquirer for such late presentment shall be divided between the parties in the proportions in which they share the 

 

27











 

Net FX Margin.  All Presentment Losses for any reason not charged to the Acquirer Merchant, and all Presentment Gains not passed through to the Acquirer Merchant, shall be shared by the parties in the proportions in which they share the Net FX Margin.  Although Acquirer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an agreement of the Acquirer Merchant to cover such Presentment Losses and Presentment Gains, nothing herein shall prohibit Acquirer from agreeing not to pass through to the Merchant such Presentment Losses and Presentment Gains.

 

(c)  E-commerce Merchants.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.5(b) of this Agreement, in appropriate circumstances, in its sole discretion Acquirer may extend the period for presentation of MCP Transactions by Acquirer Merchant from 48 hours to up to seven (7) days following the Transaction date and time.  Typically this will only be offered to e-commerce Merchants who require delayed capture of their Transactions in order to allow for delayed shipping of goods.  In such cases Acquirer in its sole discretion may increase the Currency Conversion Mark-up applicable to such Merchants’ MCP Transactions to reflect the additional risk by an amount determined after consultation with Planet Payment.  For the avoidance of doubt the period for presentation shall not be extended beyond such seven (7) day period without the prior written agreement of both parties.

 

7.6                               Deposit of Proceeds & Calculation of Revenue and Fees.  Card Association daily deposits to Acquirer or Sponsor will contain the Acquirer Settlement Amount, which includes the Gross FX Margin for Foreign Transactions successfully processed under the Program.  On each Banking  Day the Gross FX Margin and the Merchant Revenue earned in respect of Transactions processed since the last Banking Day shall be calculated by Planet Payment in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Planet Payment shall provide web-based reporting (compliant with the applicable Account Security Program) to Acquirer showing all applicable Merchant activity and Transactions and the calculation of payments with respect thereto, on the Banking Day following the Transaction date.

 

7.7                               Calculation of Net FX Margin & Payment.  The parties shall exchange information relating to Program Costs (including copies of relevant invoices if applicable) that will need to be deducted from Gross FX Margin in order to calculate the Net FX Margin for the relevant month, by the last day of each month.  Failure to provide a Program Cost incurred in any month does not waive Acquirer’s right to submit such Program Cost at a later date and such Program Cost will be deducted in the month in which it is submitted. Planet Payment shall calculate the Net FX Margin and the respective Revenue shares of all participants in the Acquirer Program for each month and submit a report thereof (“Monthly Revenue Report”) to Acquirer within [*] after the end of each month.  In the event that the Program Costs payable for a particular month exceed the amount of the Net FX Margin earned in that month, then the amount of any excess Program Costs shall be carried forward to the subsequent month(s), until such Program Costs have been credited in full.  If required, within [*] after the end of each month, Planet Payment will submit to Acquirer the relevant payment information file, in order for Acquirer (or the

28











 

relevant Card Association member) to be able to effect payment to the Acquirer Merchant, the parties and any other participants in the Acquirer Program of their respective Revenue amounts applicable to the Transactions processed for Acquirer Merchants through the Acquirer Program during the previous month.  Payments due from Acquirer to Planet Payment shall be made within [*] after delivery of a Monthly Revenue Report, unless Acquirer objects to such Monthly Revenue Report or the related payment information. Acquirer shall notify Planet Payment if it has objections to any items therein and, as a result, Acquirer does not intend to process the relevant payment on a timely basis.  If the parties cannot resolve the issue expeditiously, Planet Payment shall be entitled to submit a further Monthly Revenue Report and/or payment information, for payment of all items which are not in dispute and Acquirer shall process such payment within a reasonable time after receipt and in any event within [*].  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure by Acquirer to notify Planet Payment of any objections or payment by Acquirer hereunder does not prohibit Acquirer from reviewing and disputing such Monthly Revenue Report or payment information at a later date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any submission of a Monthly Revenue Report or related payment information does not prohibit Planet Payment from reviewing and disputing any Program Costs included therein at a later date.  All payments to Planet Payment shall be made in the currency in which the Acquirer  received settlement proceeds from the Card Association for the relevant Transactions or, at Acquirer’s option, in U.S. Dollars.

 

7.8                               Interchange Differential.  With respect to any DCC Transaction, it is understood that the difference between the Purchase Amount (at the Base Conversion Rate) and the Cardholder Settlement Amount will incur Interchange costs and assessment costs (“Interchange Differential”).  If Acquirer’s agreement with Acquirer Merchant for DCC services so provides, Acquirer Merchant shall solely bear the amount of such Interchange Differential incurred for DCC Transactions presented to Planet Payment, and the Acquirer Merchant shall be charged (or the Merchant Settlement Amount offset by) such Interchange Differential.  In the absence of such agreement by Acquirer Merchant or in the event that Acquirer is not able to collect such amount from the applicable Acquirer Merchant, such Interchange Differential shall be shared by the parties, in the proportions in which they share the Net FX Margin.

 

7.9                               Chargebacks, fines, fees, penalties. If the Acquirer Merchant does not pay any chargebacks, fines, fees, or penalties due with respect to any Foreign Transaction, any such amount shall be borne solely by the Acquirer unless any such chargeback, fine, fee, or penalty resulted from any error or omission by Planet Payments, Planet Payment’s Platform, or Planet Payments Processing Services, in which case, it shall be borne solely by Planet Payment and Planet Payment shall promptly pay any such amount in full to Acquirer or, at Acquirer’s option,  Acquirer shall have the right to deduct any such amounts due from the Planet Payment Revenue due hereunder.

8.                                      MARKETING AND SALES PROCESS

 

8.1                               Marketing & Branding.  Once successfully implemented, the Acquirer may, as applicable, make the Program generally available to the Acquirer Merchants in the Designated Territory throughout the Term. Acquirer in its sole discretion shall decide how it wishes to market and sell the Acquirer Program.  Acquirer may in its sole discretion refer to Planet Payment in its marketing of the Program and the Program may be described as being “provided through” or “powered by” Planet Payment or some statement substantially similar in form that is reasonably acceptable to Planet Payment.  Planet Payment hereby gives Acquirer a license to use its name, trademarks, and logos in connection with the Acquirer Program.  In the event that there is a repeated breach of the Service Level Standards set forth herein, Acquirer shall be relieved from all obligations contained in this section, until such time as the problem is rectified to its reasonable satisfaction.

 

8.2                               Marketing Support.  At no additional cost, Planet Payment will provide such marketing support as Acquirer may reasonably require in connection with marketing the Acquirer Program to Merchants, including but not limited to:

 

(a)                                 The participation of Planet Payment personnel at meetings or conference calls with Merchants;

 

(b)                                 Assistance in the creation of collateral materials;

 

(c)                                Assistance in the drafting of contractual agreements and addenda for Acquirer’s Merchants; and

 

(d)                               Assistance with training Merchants in the use of Planet Payment’s systems and reports, which will be made available to such Merchants under the Acquirer Program and the operation of the Acquirer Program, including but not limited to use of Planet Payment’s MWeb on-line reporting system and the provision of suitable training materials.

 

8.3                               Non-Solicitation/Channel Conflict.    Neither Planet Payment nor any of its parents, Affiliates, or subsidiaries, including without limitation Planet Payment Solutions, LLC or their respective Independent Contractors (as defined in Visa Rules), shall solicit any Acquirer Merchant to use any Card acceptance services, which Planet Payment knows or reasonably should have known are competitive to those of Acquirer or of any Affiliate of Acquirer (including the DCC services contemplated hereunder) during the Term of this Agreement or any Termination Assistance Period.  The foregoing sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of three years with respect to Acquirer Merchants who participated in the Program at any time during the Term of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section shall not apply in the following circumstances and nothing herein shall prevent Planet Payment at any time (whether during or after the Term of this Agreement) (a) from providing processing services (i.e. authorization, clearing, settlement and related acquiring processing services, including DCC and other multi-currency processing) to any Acquirer Merchant on behalf of a third party acquirer; (b) from acceptance by Planet Payment of unsolicited submissions of Merchants for merchant acquiring from third party acquirers and third party agents, and from processing for such Merchants; or (c) from supporting the activities of a third party acquirer in the ordinary course, including but not limited to participation in conferences with such acquirer and 

 

30











 

preparation of general marketing, sales and solicitation materials, provided that in either (a) (b), or (c) above Planet Payment did not participate actively in the solicitation of such Acquirer Merchant for such third party acquirer and provided that no Confidential Information of any kind was used in any way, or can be used in any way either during or after termination of this Agreement.  For the purposes of this sub-section: “acquirer” shall mean any bank or financial institution which is a member of a Card Association and any Third Party/ISO as defined in the Visa Rules; “third party” shall mean any person other than Planet Payment, any Planet Payment Affiliate, including Planet Payment Solutions, LLC, or their respective Independent Contractors.

 

8.4                               Continuation of Participation. Once an Acquirer Merchant has commenced participation in the Program, Acquirer agrees that, until the [*] of the Effective Date or the termination of the Designated Territory Addendum relevant to the Designated Territory in which such Acquirer Merchant is located, whichever occurs sooner, it will not solicit such Merchant to use the services of another DCC provider, including (if applicable) the DCC services of Acquirer and its Affiliates, if such services are offered by Planet Payment or, where they are not offered by Planet Payment, can be made available by Planet Payment within [*] after receiving written notice from Acquirer for such service, provided that Planet Payment has not repeatedly violated the Service Level Standards in such a way that Acquirer reasonably believes indicates a heightened risk of future violations of Service Level Standards or breaches of this Agreement by Planet Payment.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing, Acquirer shall have the right to switch an Acquirer Merchant referred to above to any other DCC provider if such Acquirer Merchant specifically requests such other DCC provider. In the event (a) Planet Payment commences offering services, other than in the United States or Canada, as an independent sales organization or acquirer, as such terms are defined in the Visa Rules, which are competitive to those of Acquirer or any Affiliate of Acquirer in the Designated Territory; (b) Planet Payment is acquired, merges with, or becomes controlled by any person or entity that offers services, which are competitive to those of Acquirer or of any Affiliate of Acquirer in the Designated Territory (other than DCC services); (c) either (A) the parties cannot agree on an Action Plan to remedy a deficiency or discrepancy identified in an inspection or audit by Acquirer pursuant to Section 15.2 or (B) the remediation or any intermediate steps to such remediation set forth in an agreed-upon Action Plan are not completed by the original or revised scheduled completion date agreed pursuant to such Action Plan; (d) receipt by Planet Payment of a “going concern” opinion from its independent public accountants; or (e) any event which grants Acquirer a termination right under Section 9.3 hereof, then the prohibitions contained in the first sentence of this paragraph shall no longer apply and Acquirer shall no longer be bound by the obligations contained in the first sentence of Section 8.1.

 

9.                                      TERM OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

 

9.1                               Initial Term.  The Initial Term of the Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and will continue for five (5) years (“Initial Term”).  Thereafter, this Agreement will automatically

31












 

renew for successive one (1) year periods unless terminated by Acquirer by written notice to Planet Payment not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Term then in effect, or unless terminated by Planet Payment by written notice to Acquirer not less than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the expiration of the Term then in effect.  The “Term” shall mean the Initial Term or any renewal or extension thereof hereunder.  Termination of this Agreement shall be subject to Planet Payment’s agreement to continue all services hereunder as set forth in Section 9.5.

 

9.2                               Breach.  Notwithstanding any term or provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 9.5 below (Continuation of Services and Transition Services) in the event of any material breach or default by either party in the performance of any duty or obligation under this Agreement or a Designated Territory Addendum, the other party may, at its option, by notice to the breaching party, terminate this Agreement or, in the case of a breach which is relevant only to a given Designated Territory, the relevant Designated Territory Addendum, if such breach or default is not cured within (i) sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching party; or (ii) such shorter period of time as may be required by, or in order to remain in compliance with, the Rules or directives of any Card Association or banking regulatory agency or authority.

 

9.3                               Termination.  Notwithstanding any term or provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, either party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement or any Designated Territory Addendum, at any time immediately upon written notice after the occurrence of any of the following, which the parties agree will not be capable of rectification:

 

(a)                                 the commencement of proceedings in bankruptcy, or for reorganization of the other party, or for the readjustment of any of the debts of the other party under the applicable  Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any part thereof, or under any other laws, for the relief of debtors, now or hereafter existing, by either party or against either party, which is not dismissed within thirty (30) calendar days;

 

(b)                                 the appointment of a receiver, trustee or custodian of the other party, or for any substantial assets of the other party, or the institution of proceedings for the dissolution or the full or partial liquidation of the other party, which is not dismissed within thirty (30) calendar days; or

 

(c)                                  the other party ceasing to conduct its business in the ordinary course.

 

9.4                               Infringement Claims.  Notwithstanding any term or provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any legal action is commenced against Acquirer, or any person who is indemnified pursuant to Section 10.1, for an Infringement Claim and in Acquirer’s reasonable opinion based on advice of outside counsel that there is a reasonable chance that such Infringement Claim would be successful on its merits, Acquirer shall have the right to suspend the Program immediately upon notice.

 

9.5                               Continuation of Services and Transition Services.  In the event of termination of this Agreement or any Designated Territory Addendum for any reason other than termination by Planet Payment pursuant to Section 9.2 for Acquirer’s non-payment, Acquirer may require that Planet Payment continue for a period not exceeding 12 months after such termination 

 

32











 

(“Termination Assistance Period”), to continue to provide all services hereunder (including, without limitation, processing any or all DCC Transactions and MCP Transactions for Acquirer Merchants participating in the Acquirer Program that it was processing prior to such termination) on the same terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, and Planet Payment shall so continue, notwithstanding termination of the Agreement.  Upon the continuation of services under this Section, all Sections of this Agreement (other than Acquirer’s marketing obligations under Section 8.1 and Acquirer’s obligations under Section 8.4) shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding termination of the Agreement, for so long as any Transactions are being processed for Acquirer Merchants by Planet Payment pursuant to the Program.  In addition, in the event of either (i) termination of this Agreement or any Designated Territory Addendum for any reason or (ii) Acquirer wishes to switch an Acquirer Merchant to a third-party provider of DCC or MCP services where permitted under this Agreement or any applicable Designated Territory Addendum (whether during the Term or any Termination Assistance Period), Planet Payment shall use reasonable commercial efforts to cooperate to make arrangements for the orderly continuation or transfer to a third party of services provided to Acquirer and/or Acquirer Merchants hereunder.

 

10.                               INFRINGEMENT

 

10.1                        Infringement Indemnity.  Planet Payment shall defend or settle at its sole expense any Infringement Claim.  Planet Payment shall defend, indemnify and hold Acquirer, Affiliates, any Sponsor which Acquirer is using for the purposes of the Acquirer Program, and any of their directors, employees, representatives, parents, Affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, and permitted assigns (“Acquirer Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and pay any and all losses, costs and damages, including reasonable counsel fees attributable to an Infringement Claim.  This indemnity shall not extend to any Infringement Claim to the extent such Infringement Claim results from Acquirer’s or any third party’s unauthorized modification of technology or from incorporation of  technology with products or services not provided, authorized, or approved by Planet Payment but only if the Infringement Claim is based upon such modification or from such incorporation. The indemnity provided in this Section shall not be subject to any limitation of liability whatsoever, except as set forth in this Section.

 

10.2                        Control of Infringement Claims.

 

(a)  Planet Payment shall give the Acquirer prompt written notice of any Infringement Claim of which it becomes aware. Acquirer shall give Planet Payment prompt notice of any Infringement Claim of which it is notified in writing. Failure by Acquirer to so notify Planet Payment shall not relieve Planet Payment from its indemnity obligation under this Agreement except to the extent that Planet Payment suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure.  If an Acquirer Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder, provided the action is also brought against Planet Payment, Planet Payment shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Acquirer.  If any Acquirer Indemnified Person is named in any proceeding involving an Infringement Claim and Planet Payment is not named in that proceeding, Planet Payment and any of its Affiliates may, but shall not be obligated to, seek leave to intervene in the proceeding and Acquirer agrees not to oppose that intervention and, in the event that such leave to intervene is granted, Planet Payment shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding in accordance with this section. If Planet Payment does not assume the defense pursuant to the foregoing, then the Acquirer shall 

 

33











 

assume the defense but at the expense of Planet Payment. Upon assumption by Planet Payment of such defense, the Acquirer Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but Planet Payment shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by the Acquirer Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) Planet Payment has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) Planet Payment shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Acquirer in a timely manner, or (iii) the Acquirer Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between Planet Payment and the Acquirer Indemnified Person, which may include situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Acquirer Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to Planet Payment. If at any time Acquirer reasonably believes that Planet Payment is not taking appropriate action in defending or pursuing any such matter, Acquirer shall have the right to assume the control of such defense at the expense of Planet Payment. Any Acquirer Indemnified Person involved in an Infringement Claim for which indemnity is being provided hereunder shall reasonably cooperate with Planet Payment in the defense of such action. Planet Payment shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by Planet Payment in accordance with the foregoing without the prior written consent of the Acquirer Indemnified Person, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any future or past royalties or license fees (or other similar fees) are required to be paid to the party alleging the Infringement Claim, they shall be paid in full by Planet Payment, and shall in no way be charged or passed through, directly or indirectly, to Acquirer or to any Acquirer Indemnified Person and shall not be subject to any limitation of liability contained herein except as set forth in this Section.

 

(b)  Planet Payment shall keep Acquirer fully informed of the status of any Infringement Claim for which there is an indemnity under this section, including all developments during its pendency and shall consider Acquirer’s views. Planet Payment shall notify Acquirer if any  infringement action is brought against it in any jurisdiction worldwide, whether or not such action involves Acquirer and shall provide information concerning such action as Acquirer shall reasonably request.

 

10.3                        Replacement of Infringing Technology.  In the event there is an Infringement Claim or, in Planet Payment’s or Acquirer’s reasonable opinion, there is a reasonable chance of an Infringement Claim, Planet Payment, at its own expense shall take one of the following actions: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to secure for Acquirer, the right to continue using the technology; or (ii), replace or modify the technology to make it non-infringing; provided, however, that such modification or replacement shall not materially degrade the operation or performance of the technology, without Acquirer’s written consent.

 

11.                               DATA STORAGE

 

11.1                        Ownership of Data.  Any data furnished by or on behalf of Acquirer to Planet Payment pursuant to this Agreement and any results of processing Acquirer’s data or derived in any way from Acquirer’s data shall at all times remain the property of Acquirer and shall be considered the Confidential Information of Acquirer. If upon the expiration or termination of the Agreement Acquirer requires a copy of data stored by Planet Payment for archival purposes, Planet Payment shall, at Acquirer’s request, provide Acquirer with a copy of Acquirer’s data which Planet 

 

34











 

Payment has at such time, in such medium as the Acquirer may reasonably require.

 

11.2                        Data Retention.

 

(a)                               Planet Payment shall for not less than [*] after the date of each Transaction, retain all financial information received as a result of the Planet Payment Processing Services relating to each Transaction.  For the first [*] after the date of each Transaction, Planet Payment shall make such information readily available to Acquirer through Planet Payment’s P-Web system and thereafter all data may be archived and shall be made available to Acquirer upon request, within [*].  Data which include Card numbers or other Personal Information will be encrypted and may be archived separately, in accordance with security protocols and may not be readily available through P-Web.

 

(b)                               Planet Payment is responsible for retention of all files, databases, backups, logs, and messages required to recreate all output interfaces and to re-execute all processing runs for a period of [*].  All data and information must be retained in such a manner as to allow for the re-creation of any output interface, or the re-execution of any processing run within two business days of request.

 

(c)                                Planet Payment is responsible for retention of all output interface files sent, or transmitted, to Acquirer for a period of [*], which shall be provided through the web-interface and accessible to Acquirer in accordance with the Planet Payment PWEB standard documentation.

 

(d)                               Planet Payment is responsible for retention of all month-end merchant and account master files for a period of [*].

 

(e)                                Planet Payment shall provide Acquirer with all data files requiring long-term (seven (7) year) retention for legal and regulatory compliance.  The specific details of which files need to be sent to Acquirer for long-term retention will be provided by Acquirer from time to time. Planet Payment is responsible for retention of copies of all files provided to Acquirer for long-term storage for a period of thirty (30) days after confirmation of receipt by Acquirer of such files.

 

12.                               SECURITY

 

12.1                        Compliance.  Planet Payment shall make reasonable efforts to assist Acquirer with compliance with any applicable security standards.  Planet Payment agrees to comply with the provisions of the security schedule set forth in Schedule 5 hereto with respect to the services to be provided hereunder, Planet’s internal information security standards, the requirements of the applicable Account Security Program, and any other information security standards applicable to Planet Payment or Acquirer in connection with the Program.

35











 

12.2                        Access.  Planet Payment shall be responsible for any access to or use of any of Acquirer’s data or other Confidential Information by any Affiliate, employee, agent, or subcontractor of Planet Payment or by any other party who gained access through Planet Payment systems, or as a result of any act or omission on behalf of Planet Payment or any of its employees, agents, subcontractors, or Affiliates.

 

12.3                        Acquirer’s Responsibility.       Acquirer shall be solely responsible for maintaining security and proper use of user ID’s and passwords provided to its personnel at its request by Planet Payment in order to access Planet Payment’s reporting systems and for any unauthorized access to or use of Planet Payment’s systems arising out of any breach by Acquirer of this section.

 

13.                               REGULATORY AND NETWORK COMPLIANCE

 

13.1                        Planet Payment Responsibility for Compliance with Laws & Rules.  Planet Payment shall be responsible for compliance by Planet Payment with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances as well as the Rules related to the Program.  Further, Planet Payment shall notify Acquirer of all filings as may be required by the Rules in relation to the Program, in connection with the establishment, maintenance and operation of the Acquirer Program (any fees to be paid in connection therewith by Acquirer shall be considered Program Costs) and shall provide Acquirer with reporting of all data in Planet Payment’s possession which is necessary to make such filings.  Planet Payment shall indemnify Acquirer for any Card Association penalties levied upon Acquirer, or any other damages incurred by Acquirer arising out of Planet Payment’s failure to comply with this Section.

 

13.2                        Acquirer Responsibility for Compliance with Laws & Rules.  Acquirer shall file or request any Sponsor to file all paperwork for the purpose of registering (a) Planet Payment and its  applicable Affiliates as a third party processor of Acquirer (or of the applicable Card Association member) in accordance with Card Association Rules; and (b) Acquirer, any Sponsor, all Acquirer Merchants and the Program (including all certification materials required in relation to the Program) in accordance with the Rules applicable to DCC including all renewals of such registrations during the Term. Any fees payable in connection therewith by Acquirer or Sponsor shall be added to the Program Costs.  Acquirer shall have no responsibility to Planet Payment if Planet Payment does not obtain such registrations or Acquirer does not obtain such certifications for any reason, other than solely as a result of Acquirer’s failure to comply with the obligations set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph.  Planet Payment shall have no responsibility to Acquirer hereunder if Acquirer does not obtain such registration or certifications for any reason, other than solely as a result of Planet Payment’s failure to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 13.1.

 

14.                               CONFIDENTIALITY

 

14.1                        Confidential Information.  Each party acknowledges that it has received and may receive information from the other party that is designated as “confidential” at or prior to disclosure or information that should reasonably be known to be confidential under the circumstances, including, without limitation, information relating to one or more of the other party’s assets, liabilities, revenues, customers, trade secrets, technology, know how, any other IP, Platform, revenue share information, business processes or other business and financial affairs or plans and 

 

36











 

all other information regarding the other party’s business, which is disclosed in any manner or medium in connection with this Agreement or the Program (collectively, “Confidential Information”).  The parties specifically acknowledge and agree that all information regarding the Acquirer Merchants, the Transactions processed hereunder, Acquirer’s files, data, programs, technology, technology infrastructure and specifications, security information, internal investigation reports, audit reports, nonpublic policies and procedures, Personal Information, pricing to the Merchants, the Program Costs, including any of the foregoing information which is owned by the relevant Card Association member, which is disclosed to Planet Payment by Acquirer or such member, shall be considered Confidential Information of Acquirer. If any of the foregoing information is information owned by an Affiliate of any party, it shall still be considered the Confidential Information of such party. The parties shall use the Confidential Information of the other party only for the purpose of implementing the Acquirer Program and in accordance with this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a party shall have no authority to use another party’s Confidential Information for any other purpose or in any other manner.

 

14.2                        Duty to Maintain Confidentiality.  The party disclosing Confidential Information shall at all times retain title to the Confidential Information.  The receiving parties shall preserve and protect the confidentiality of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information using precautions at least as restrictive as those it takes to protect its own Confidential Information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care).  Except as expressly authorized by this Agreement, the receiving parties shall not allow others to use, display, copy, disclose, transmit, reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or translate all or any part of such Confidential Information without the disclosing party’s prior written consent.  The receiving parties shall limit access to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to any Sponsor and to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, managers, employees and subcontractors who: (i) have a need to know such Confidential Information to enable such party to perform its, his or her obligations under this Agreement and (ii) are obligated to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information under substantially  similar terms as those set forth in this Section 14.  The receiving parties shall be fully and directly responsible and liable to the disclosing party for any breach of this Section 14 by any persons receiving access to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information through or on behalf of such receiving party.  The disclosing party shall be entitled to injunctive relief for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 14.  Nothing in this Section 14 shall be interpreted to limit the restrictions related to security set forth in Schedule 5.

 

14.3                        Exclusions.  Excluded from the obligations of Section 14 is any information that:

 

(a) is already in the possession of the receiving party and not subject to an existing agreement of confidence between the parties; or

In the event that Personal Information is transferred from a country within the European Economic Area to a country outside the European Economic Area, the parties shall ensure that all Personal Information is adequately protected in accordance with Articles 25 and 26 of the EU Directive 95/46/EC.

15.                               AUDIT AND EXAMINATION

 

15.1                        Maintenance of Records.       Planet Payment shall maintain, at all times during the Term, any Termination Assistance Period and for at least [*] thereafter, [*] Global, complete and accurate records and supporting documentation pertaining to: (a) all charges and financial matters under this Agreement, in all cases prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and (b) all other transactions, reports, filings, returns, analyses, data and information created, generated, collected, processed or stored by Planet Payment or Planet Payment Auditable Associates (as defined below) in the performance of Planet Payment’s services hereunder (collectively, “Planet Payment Records”).  All of the foregoing shall be maintained in a manner sufficient to permit the audits in accordance with this Section.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Planet Payment shall store Personal Information and information derived therefrom or related thereto only as and to the extent expressly permitted in the Agreement.  For purposes of this Section, the term “Auditable Associates” refers to those Affiliates of Planet Payment that (i) have or will have access to any Confidential Information or Personal Information about or relating to Acquirer or any Acquirer Merchant; or (ii) due to the nature of the services performed need to be audited for Acquirer, its Affiliates, or their customers to satisfy legal or other compliance requirements (e.g., PCI DSS audits).

 

15.2                        Audits.  Planet Payment shall grant Acquirer (or a designee thereof) at any reasonable time, with prior written notice, reasonable access to Planet Payment’s facilities, systems, documents, records and information relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement, at the expense of Acquirer and at all times subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth herein

and Planet Payment’s confidentiality obligations to third parties, in order to conduct an operational or financial inspection or audit to (i) examine the systems Planet Payment uses to perform its services hereunder and to receive, transmit, process or store data; (ii) verify Planet Payment’s compliance with the requirements of this Agreement, including without limitation Schedule 5 (Security), and any applicable law, rule or regulation of any country or state or industry standard; (iii) examine any third-party data processing audits or reviews and any related workpapers provided that Planet Payment may require that such workpapers be reviewed at its auditor’s premises; (iv) examine controls (e.g., organizational controls, system modification controls, processing controls, system design controls and access controls) and conduct walkthroughs; (v) at no cost to Planet Payment, facilitate Acquirer’s own compliance with this Agreement and any federal or state law, rule, or regulation; (vi) examine the security, business continuity, disaster recovery, back-up practices and any other policies, procedures, safeguards and controls related to security or business continuity; (vii) verify Planet Payment’s reported performance against the Service Level Standards; and (viii) verify the accuracy and completeness of Planet Payment’s invoices and charges. Such audits may be performed no more than [*] per [*] period, except that audits arising in connection with (a) a security incident or threat, (b) a requirement arising under any law, rule, regulation, industry standard or rule, or (c) and incorrect invoice or billings statement shall not be counted against the permitted audit and shall be in addition thereto.  Planet Payment shall require all Planet Payment Auditable Associates to comply with the provisions of this Section 15.  Planet Payment agrees that any items reasonably identified by Acquirer as a deficiency or discrepancy as a result of such audit shall be remedied promptly, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 15.3 below.

 

15.3                        Remediation.  If the deficiency or discrepancy is financial in nature and reveals an error in connection with charges or taxes, then the parties will work together to correct the error and any overpayments revealed by the audit will be promptly paid by Planet Payment or credited to Acquirer. In addition, if the audit reveals any overpayment that is greater than [*] of the amount that was actually due for the period being audited, Planet Payment shall bear the cost of the financial audit notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement. For each deficiency or discrepancy that is related to security or operations rather than finances, Planet Payment shall provide Acquirer with a plan of action to correct the deficiency or discrepancy, which plan of action shall be subject to Acquirer’s written approval (which it shall not unreasonably withhold) and shall, at a minimum, include: (a) details of actions to be taken by Planet Payment and/or the Planet Payment Auditable Associates to correct the deficiency or discrepancy, and (b) target dates for successful correction of the deficiency or discrepancy (“Action Plan”). Planet Payment shall provide the Action Plan within a reasonable time but no longer than [*] of Acquirer’s notice of such deficiency or discrepancy. Planet Payment shall also provide Acquirer with written

 




* Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

40











 

notice of (x) Planet Payment’s successful completion of each action identified in the Action Plan; and (y) any delays in Planet Payment’s completion of the actions identified in the Action Plan, accompanied by an explanation of the cause of such delay.  In the event that Planet Payment notifies Acquirer of a delay which is due to reasons either outside Planet Payment’s reasonable control or due to events or conditions which were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the parties agreed the Action Plan, then the parties shall in good faith agree to revised target dates for successful correction of the deficiency of discrepancy in accordance with the same procedures described above with respect to the original Action Plan. Acquirer’s approval of an Action Plan shall not be deemed a waiver or prevent Acquirer from exercising any rights or remedies Acquirer may have under the Agreement or at law or in equity. In the event that either (i) the parties cannot agree on an Action Plan or (ii) Planet Payment does not fully comply with the terms of the Action Plan, then Planet Payment shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Acquirer for any third-party claims arising out of such identified deficiency. The parties shall bear their own expenses in conjunction with any inspection or audit.  Planet Payment shall provide to Acquirer (or such designee thereof) such reasonable assistance as required in connection with the audit and examination functions set forth herein in accordance with the provisions set forth in Schedule 5.

 

15.4                        Provisions Relating to all Audits and Inspections.  The following provisions shall apply to all audits and inspections hereunder:

 

(a)                                 Planet Payment shall not be required to provide copies removable from Planet Payment’s premises to Acquirer or to any third party of any documents, which Planet Payment does not normally disclose to third parties, in accordance with its information security policies from time to time and, in such case, shall allow inspection of such documents at Planet Payment’s offices, during normal business hours.

 

(b)                                     All information provided under this Section 15 to Acquirer shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations of Section 14.  Planet Payment may request written undertakings of confidentiality from such auditors and inspectors or anyone else prior to being given access to information under this Section 15 but shall be required to comply with such requests nonetheless.

 

(c)                                      For the avoidance of doubt nothing herein shall, in the absence of any applicable law or regulation, entitle (1) any governmental auditor or inspector to have access to or inspect or take copies of any information or records, which relate to the provision by Planet Payment of services similar to the services provided hereunder for the benefit of any bank, processor, or financial institution, which is outside of the Designated Territory; or (2) Acquirer and its auditors and inspectors to inspect or take copies of any records, which include information relating to any other bank, processor or other financial institution or their respective merchants and customers and to the extent that any such records include in the same document, information relating to Acquirer and to such third persons, Planet Payment shall be entitled to first to redact all information which relates to such third persons, before disclosing it to Acquirer or its auditors.

 

(d)                                     Planet Payment shall only be obliged to provide access to premises or records of any contractors or subcontractors to the extent it is reasonably able to do so but shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such access.

Planet Payment’s obligations to Acquirer under this sub-Section shall be reduced only to the extent such legal liability to a third party, and out of pocket costs and expense arise from or out of or as a result of the acts or omissions of Acquirer or an Affiliate of Acquirer.  The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to Planet Payment’s indemnification obligations with respect to Infringement Claims, which are addressed in Section 10 above.

 

16.3                        Control of Defense. Promptly after receipt of notice of its involvement in any action, proceeding or investigation to which this Section might apply, Acquirer or Planet Payment shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made hereunder, notify the indemnifying party of such involvement.  Failure by an indemnitee hereunder to so notify the indemnitor shall not relieve the indemnitor from the obligation to indemnify the indemnitee under this Agreement except to the extent that the indemnitor suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure.  The indemnitor shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel

Any indemnitee involved in any action, proceeding, or investigation for which indemnity is being provided hereunder shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnitor in the defense of such action. The indemnitor shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by indemnitor in accordance with the foregoing without the prior written consent of the indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Indemnitor shall keep indemnitee reasonably informed of the status of any claim hereunder, including regarding significant developments during its pendency and shall consider indemnitee’s views.

 

16.4                        Limitation of Liability.  The liability of Planet Payment and Acquirer to each other, pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any breach of this Agreement, the performance by either party of its duties and obligations, and the negligence of either party shall be limited to actual damages or, with respect to indemnification claims, the third party liability for which indemnification is available pursuant to Sub-sections 16.1 and 16.2 above; PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT, this limitation shall not apply to:

However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Schedule 1 (including without limitation the Volume-based allocation of Net FX Margin set forth in the table above and the foregoing sentence), Planet Payment’s share of Net FX Margin for the Calculation Year ending May 31, 2016 shall be calculated as follows: (i) for the [*] period beginning [*] and ending on [*], Planet Payment’s share of Net FX Margin shall be [*]%, and (ii) for the [*] beginning [*] and ending [*], Planet Payment’s share of Net FX Margin shall be calculated in accordance with the above table based on the Volume for the [*] period ending [*].

(ix)                              Any other amounts referenced in the Agreement which are to be treated as Program Costs.

 

(d)                                 MasterCard Cross Border Assessment.  The purpose of this section is to address Card Association charges, which only apply to DCC Transactions, or which apply to DCC Transactions differently than the way such charges apply to non-DCC Transactions. It is the intent of the parties that (1) any Card Association charges which apply to DCC Transactions and non-DCC Transactions in the same way shall be borne solely by Acquirer; and (2) any Card Association charges which only apply to DCC Transactions, or which apply differently to DCC Transactions as opposed to other Transactions shall be shared in the manner set forth in this Section.  The remaining provisions of this section shall be read in the light of this preamble.

 

(i)                                     Effective October 17, 2009, MasterCard has implemented a change to its Acquirer Cross Border Assessment (“ACBA”), which results in a [*] increase to the ACBA with respect to DCC Transactions processed hereunder (the “DCC Increase”).  The parties agree that with respect to DCC Transactions processed hereunder, the DCC increase applied to the Cardholder Settlement Amount of such DCC transactions shall be deducted from Gross FX Margin for the purpose of calculating Net FX Margin.  The balance of the ACBA shall be borne solely by the Acquirer.  In the event Visa, or another Card Association, implements a similar increase/change to a cross border assessment with respect to DCC Transactions processed hereunder in the future, which affects such DCC Transactions differently to other Transactions, or if MasterCard increases such [*]%, the DCC increase applied to the Cardholder Settlement Amount of such DCC transactions shall be deducted from Gross FX Margin for the purpose of calculating Net FX Margin.

 

(ii)                                  This provision shall be modified to automatically reduce the amount deducted from Gross FX Margin if (i) MasterCard rebates some or all of the DCC Increase or otherwise removes or reduces the ACBA, or otherwise makes an incentive payment, or allowance with respect to DCC Transactions; or (ii) Acquirer passes the DCC Increase or any part thereof onto its Merchants; or (iii) with respect to any other charge to which the provisions of Section 4 come to apply, there are similar changes by the relevant Card Association, which reduce or eliminate the impact of such changes on Acquirer.

The MCP Revenue Percentage shall be applied to each of the Target FX Margin, Settlement Gain or Settlement Loss, Presentment Gain and Interchange Differential amounts earned, or incurred for each Merchant Outlet during each calendar month, in order to determine each party’s revenue share entitlement (the “MCP Revenue Share”).

(c)                                  Conversion of Certain Processing Functions To Acquirer Platform. The parties hereby acknowledge that pursuant to similar agreements for DCC Transaction processing entered into between the parties, or their respective Affiliates, the parties have developed an alternative method of processing DCC Transactions together (the “New Method”).  For the avoidance of doubt the New Method is as described in the mutually agreed upon specifications pursuant to which DCC Transaction processing is being undertaken by the parties, or their respective Affiliates, in Hong Kong.  It is intended that in due course the parties shall adopt the New Method for DCC Transaction processing with respect to DCC Transactions to be processed pursuant to this Agreement.  Accordingly, the parties hereby agree that the New Method may be adopted in the following manner: Acquirer will use commercially reasonable efforts to give Planet Payment 60 days prior notice that it is ready to begin implementing the New Method, and Acquirer and Planet Payment shall thereafter discuss how the New Method shall be implemented with respect to the Designated Territory.  The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop a mutually agreed upon specification and implementation plan with respect to the New Method.  Planet Payment agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide assistance to Acquirer to implement the New Method with respect to the Designated Territory, provided that Planet Payment shall not have any obligations whatsoever to assist Acquirer in any way in specifying, designing, or implementing functions similar to any of Planet Payment’s functions provided hereunder, relating to the conversion, calculation, reporting or reconciliation of cross currency transactions.  Nothing herein shall oblige Planet Payment to disclose, transfer or license any of the Planet Payment IP to Acquirer for the purposes of implementing the New Method.  In the event Planet Payment and Acquirer mutually agree that modifications or enhancements requested by Acquirer are substantially different to the way the New Method has been implemented in Hong Kong, the parties will negotiate in good faith a reasonable charge to be paid by Acquirer for Planet Payment’s efforts with respect to such modifications or enhancements.  The implementation of the New Method shall not affect or result in any modification of the parties respective obligations hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt until such time as the New Method has been fully implemented by the parties, the parties shall continue to process DCC

(c)                                  Revised Acquirer Revenue shall mean, for a given month, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate Net FX Margin for the Subject Merchants for such month minus (i) the Revised Planet Payment Revenue for such month.

 

(d)                                 Revised Planet Payment Revenue shall mean for a given month, an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate Net FX Margin for the Subject Merchants for such month minus the Correction Amount for such month, multiplied by (ii)  Planet Payment’s applicable revenue share rate.

 

(e)                                  Subject Merchants shall mean the Merchants listed on Annex 1 hereto, subject to amendment as agreed to in writing by both parties from time to time.
