Customer is granted a nonexclusive, nontransferable (except to permitted assigns of this Agreement) limited license to use the Licensed Software during the term of this Agreement. Customer shall not sell, lease, copy, distribute, transfer, assign or sublicense the Licensed Software to any third party. Customer will make no more than two (2) copies of the Licensed Software for backup and archival purposes and may make no copies for any other purpose. Customer is responsible for maintaining backup copies of the Licensed Software. The Licensed Software is licensed for use on individual computers and individual network workstations. Customer may change the location at which the Licensed Software is used provided that Customer shall retain records of all locations at which the Licensed Software is used and provide such records to Metavante upon request. The license granted hereby shall commence upon the delivery of the Licensed Software and shall continue until terminated in accordance with the terms contained herein.

B. Use. Metavante shall have no liability for any failure of the Licensed Software due to the failure of Customer to use the Software in accordance with the documentation provided by Metavante or if the Licensed Software is not workable because of the malfunction of Customer's hardware or operating system or the failure of such hardware or operating system to perform as represented, or for any other cause beyond Metavante's control.

C. Software Support: Metavante will provide to Customer improvements or enhancements as these are developed for the Licensed Software.

C. Conversion date. The parties shall each perform their respective obligations under the Conversion Plan such that the Commencement Date occurs on or before November 5, 2007. If the Commencement Date does not occur on or before such date (the Scheduled Conversion Date) solely as a result of Metavante's failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Conversion Plan (including the satisfactory completion of the identified Enhancements) and not as a result of any failure by Customer or any Third Party, Customer shall recover liquidated damages equal to the following:

  1.   Metavante shall pay Customer $10,000.00 for each month or portion thereof that Metavante fails to have the Commencement Date occur on the Scheduled Conversion Date provided that such amount shall be prorated for any partial month.

Metavante shall charge the designated settlement account(s) for amounts owed by Customer for settlement. Customer shall, upon Metavante's demand, immediately pay to Metavante any settlement amount that Metavante is unable to collect from the settlement account for any reason. Metavante will provide Customer with daily settlement and accounting information, and Customer agrees that Customer is responsible for the daily maintenance and reconciliation of all accounting entries.

Metavante agrees to assist Customer in obtaining sponsorship by an appropriate bank, if necessary, for MasterCard or Visa membership. Customer shall comply with the articles, bylaws, operating regulations, rules, procedures and policies of Visa, MasterCard, and/or other Networks, as applicable, and shall be solely responsible, as between Customer and Metavante, for any claims, liabilities, lawsuits and expenses arising out of or caused by Customer's failure to comply with the same. Customer acknowledges and agrees that, because Metavante is Customer's processor, Metavante may receive certain services from MasterCard, Visa, and/or other Networks that Customer could receive directly in the event Customer performed the processing services for itself.

For at least 120 days following the Effective Date of Termination, Customer shall maintain a settlement account which Metavante may charge to settle any trailing activity which accrues prior to the Effective Date of Termination (including any chargeback of a transaction which is authorized prior to the Effective Date of Termination). Customer shall pay to Metavante fees to settle such trailing activity in accordance with this Agreement.

C. ACH Services.

(i) General. ACH Services means Services whereby Metavante will (i) initiate and/or receive automated clearing house debit and credit entries, and adjustments to debit entries and credit entries to Customer's account, (ii) credit and/or debit the same to such account.

It shall be Customer's responsibility to review such reports and correct erroneous ACH entries.

(ii) Timing. Metavante shall make reasonable efforts to deliver ACH entries to Customer or to an ACH operator, as appropriate, prior to any applicable deadline for such delivery.

or liability to any Third Party from Customer's breach of the foregoing obligations.

If either party fails to perform any of its material obligations (including Section 7.1 hereof) under this Agreement (a Default) and does not cure such Default in accordance with this Section, then the non-defaulting party may, by giving notice to the other party, terminate this Agreement as of the date specified in such notice of termination, or such later date agreed to by the parties, and/or recover Damages. Except as provided in Section 4.1 C, a party may terminate the Agreement in accordance with the foregoing if such party provides written notice to the defaulting party and either (a) the defaulting party does not cure the Default within sixty (60) days of the defaulting party's receipt of notice of the Default, if the Default is capable of cure within sixty (60) days, or (b) if the Default is not capable of cure within sixty (60) days, the defaulting party does not both (i) implement a plan to cure the Default within sixty (60) days of receipt of notice of the Default, and (ii) diligently carry-out the plan in accordance with its terms. The parties acknowledge and agree that a failure to pay any amount when due hereunder shall be a Default that is capable of being cured within thirty (30) days. Except as provided in the Service Level Schedule, the parties acknowledge and agree that any error in processing data, preparation or filing of a report, form, or file, or the failure to perform Services as required hereunder shall be satisfactorily cured upon the completion of accurate re-processing, the preparation or filing of the accurate report, form, or file, or the re-performance of the Services in accordance with applicable requirements, respectively.

8.3. For Insolvency. In addition to the termination rights set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2, subject to the provisions of Title 11, United States Code, if either party becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt, is the subject to any proceedings relating to its liquidation, insolvency or for the appointment of a receiver or similar officer for it, makes an assignment for the benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors, or enters into an agreement for the composition, extension, or readjustment of all or substantially all of its obligations, or is subject to regulatory sanction by any Federal Regulator, then the other party may, by giving written notice to such party, may terminate this Agreement as of a date specified in such notice of termination; provided that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against a party unless such petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of such filing.

8.4. Termination for Convenience. Customer may elect to terminate this Agreement for any reason upon six months written notice to Metavante, provided Customer shall pay Metavante the Termination Fee defined and computed in accordance with the table below. The Termination Fee shall be paid prior to the Effective Date of Termination of the Agreement, as applicable. In addition to the foregoing, Customer shall pay to Metavante any amortized but unpaid one-time set-up fees, enhancement fees or implementation fees and all reasonable costs in connection with the disposition of equipment, facilities and contracts exclusively related to Metavante's performance of the Services under this Agreement.

The Termination Fee shall be an amount equal to a percentage of the Estimated Remaining Value as set forth below. The Estimated Remaining Value means the mathematical product of (a) the average monthly fee paid by Customer with respect to the Initial Services during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Effective Date of Termination, multiplied by (b) the number of unexpired whole months remaining between the Effective Date of Termination and the expiration of the Initial Term. The Termination Fee shall be equal to the Estimated Remaining Value

For example, if the Customer chose to terminate for convenience on an agreement with a Commencement Date of January 01, 2007 and provided written notice on July 15, 2009 for a termination date of January 15, 2010, the Estimated Remaining Value would be the average monthly fee during 2009 multiplied by 47 and the Termination Fee would be the Estimated Remaining Value.

Customer may terminate this entire Agreement without payment of the Termination Fee by providing written notice to Metavante no later than thirty (30) days following the date that Metavante is subject to a formal cease and desist order duly and properly issued by either (a) the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or (b) the Office of the Financial Institutions Commissioner for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, for knowingly or recklessly participating in (i) any violation of any law or regulation; (ii) any breach of fiduciary duty; or (iii) any unsafe or unsound practice, which violation, breach, or practice caused or is likely to cause more than a minimal financial loss to, or a significant adverse effect on, Customer.

Weeks Prior     To Conversion   Event 37 Weeks   Project Organization and Administration

Each office will be visited to record the layout of each location from a network perspective and to inventory existing equipment, including terminals, printers, ATM machines, controllers, and modems. This information will be evaluated to determine requirements for the future.         High-Level Application and Operations Review



A discussion of each application will be conducted at a high level to better understand services provided to existing customers. Current operational processes supported, such as item capture, statement rendering, and exception items, will be reviewed as well as interfaces to the current processor to clarify service requirements and special needs.

Test scripts will be distributed to Bank personnel at each location for data entry on the training Bank. Nightly posting will be run with item capture test files as input, reports will be produced, and the test Bank will be balanced each day. Bank personnel will be asked to support all functions of this test using operational procedures from data entry to balancing. This will give Bank staff a chance to practice using the system and gain confidence before dealing with their customers in a production environment. It also will serve to validate network configuration, interface processes, staff training, and operational procedures. Issues will be identified and addressed.       2 Weeks   Final Preparation for Conversion
