Obligation to Refund Advanced Damages. In the event that either party  hereto reimburses the other party hereto for Damages pursuant to the indemnification provisions  of this Section 16, in advance of the final disposition of the underlying claim, and if it is ultimately  determined by settlement or pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions hereof that such Damages  directly arose out of an occurrence that did not require such indemnification under Section 16.a.  or Section 16.b., as applicable, then the reimbursed party agrees to repay to the other party any  such Damages for which it received advanced reimbursement to which it was not entitled  hereunder. All Damages required to be repaid under this Section 16.c. shall be repaid within FIVE  (5) business days following the above described ultimate determination.  d. Additional Definitions. The Lender Indemnified Parties and Originator  Indemnified Parties sometimes are referred to herein as the “Indemnified Parties” or individually  as an “Indemnified Party,” and “Indemnifying Party” may refer to Originator or Lender, in their  capacities as indemnitors hereunder. “Damages” means any and all claims, demands, liabilities,  losses, penalties, fines, judgments, damages, settlements, out-of-pocket costs, and expenses  (including, without limitation, legal fees, court costs, accounting fees, disbursements and class  

 

SPECIAL LIMITED AGENCY AGREEMENT–PAGE 18  CUSTOMERS BANK–BM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.     action costs).  e. Notice. An Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Indemnifying Party,  in writing, of any suit or threat of suit of which that party becomes aware which may give rise to  a right to indemnification under this Agreement (but in any event within THIRTY (30) days of  the discovery of such claim), and any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder  promptly shall notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of any indemnified loss; provided,  however, that the failure of an Indemnified Party alleging a right of indemnity hereunder to provide  prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations  hereunder only if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can prove that such failure to  provide prompt notice actually and materially prejudiced its rights. The Indemnified Party shall  provide to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as practicable after the delivery of such notice, all  information and documentation reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party to support and  verify the claim asserted.  f. Defense and Counsel. At its sole cost and expense, the Indemnifying Party  may employ counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party, provided that such counsel shall be  reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its  own expense, to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in  any such action and to participate therein; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be  responsible for reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses related to the separate counsel  retained by the Indemnified Party if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the ability of  the Indemnified Party to prevail in the defense of any claim is or will be materially improved if  separate counsel represents the Indemnified Party or if separate counsel is appropriate because of  legal ethics considerations. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the settlement of any  claim entered into without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to a settlement of any claim that  provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages by the Indemnifying Party  without the applicable Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably  delayed or withheld; provided that an Indemnified Party’s withholding of or delaying consent shall  not be deemed unreasonable if the proposed settlement arrangement allocates liability or financial  obligations directly to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to so defend, all  parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information  and testimony, and shall attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and  appeals as reasonably may be requested in connection therewith, all at the Indemnifying Party’s  sole cost and expense.  g. Joint Defense Agreement. The parties agree that, if both parties are named  as defendants in the same lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding arising out of or related to this  Agreement, Originator Program and/or the Loan Program, the parties may enter into a joint defense  agreement reasonably acceptable to the parties; provided, however, that any such joint defense  agreement shall not preclude any party from asserting any counterclaims, cross-actions or third- party claims to which it may be entitled to assert.  h. Survival. This Section 16 shall survive and shall continue to be binding on  the parties notwithstanding any termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement.  

 

SPECIAL LIMITED AGENCY AGREEMENT–PAGE 19  CUSTOMERS BANK–BM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.     i. Each party expressly agrees, warrants and represents that it has read the  terms of this Section 16, understands same and that the terms of this Section 16 are clear,  conspicuous and unequivocal.  17. Expenses. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each  party shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its obligations under  this Agreement, including any expenses incurred by it in performing its respective duties set forth  in this Agreement.  18. Scope of Relationship. Originator shall refrain from entering any loan origination  arrangement similar to the Program described in this Agreement with any other financial institution  or lender for the term of this Agreement without Lender’s express prior written consent. Originator  may not undertake any loan program similar to the Program described herein without the Lender’s  express prior written consent.   19. Confidential Information. In performing their obligations pursuant to this  Agreement, each party may have access to and receive disclosure of certain confidential  information about the other party or parties, including, without limitation, the names and addresses  of a party’s Borrowers or members, marketing plans and objectives, research and test results, and  other information which is confidential and the property of the party disclosing the information  (“Confidential Information”). The parties agree that the term Confidential Information shall  include this Agreement, Advertising Materials, and the Program Materials, as the same may be  amended and modified from time to time. Confidential Information shall not include information  in the public domain or which is independently developed by any party hereto. Lender and  Originator agree that Confidential Information shall be used by each party solely in the  performance of its obligations under this Agreement or in connection with activities related to such  performance (including without limitation activities involving the financing of the Loans by  Lender). Each party shall receive Confidential Information in confidence and shall not disclose  Confidential Information to any third party, except as may be permitted hereunder or under the  Program Documents, or as may be necessary to perform its obligations hereunder, or as may be  otherwise agreed in writing by the party furnishing the information, or as required by the Rules or  any Regulatory Authority. In the event that either party (the “Restricted Party”) is requested or  required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil  investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such party will  provide the other party with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the other party may seek an  appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive the Restricted Party’s  compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the other party does not seek  such a protective order or other remedy, or such protective order or other remedy is not obtained,  or the other party grants a waiver hereunder, the Restricted Party may furnish that portion (and  only that portion) of the Confidential Information which the Restricted Party is legally compelled  to disclose and will exercise such efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment  will be accorded any Confidential Information so furnished as a Restricted Party would reasonably  exercise in assuring the confidentiality of any of its own confidential information. Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall prohibit either party hereto from entering into  agreements with any other party that include materials that may or may not be substantially similar  to the Program Materials. Upon request or upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement,  subject to retention requirements, each party shall return to the other party or destroy (as the latter

Nothing in  this Agreement or in the working relationship established and developed hereunder shall be  deemed or is intended to be deemed, nor shall it cause, Lender and Originator to be treated as  partners, joint venturers, joint associates for profit. Neither party shall have any authority to bind  the other party to any agreement except to the extent expressly permitted herein. Except as  expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, no actions or failure to act by one party on  the part of the other party hereto shall be construed to imply the existence of any authority not  expressly granted herein. Except as expressly provided herein, Originator is not authorized to, and  shall not (i) make or amend any contract, incur any debt or liability, or extend any credit or enter  into any obligation on behalf of Lender; (ii) modify or amend any document, disclosure,  instrument, promissory note, or security agreement evidencing or relating to a Loan (individually,  a “Loan Document” and collectively, the “Loan Documents”), or extend the time for making any  payment which may become due under any Loan; or (iii) waive any of Lender’s rights or privileges  under any Loan, Loan Document or other agreement made by Lender.

In no event  may Originator act as Lender’s general agent or represent to others that it may act as Lender’s  general agent. In the event that either party reasonably determines that any provision of this  Agreement requires an act that applicable Rules disallow in order for Originator and Lender to  operate lawfully, or otherwise causes a material risk of violating applicable Rules, then the parties  shall promptly and in good faith attempt to agree to a modification so as to reduce or eliminate  such risk of not conforming to applicable Rules.  22. Governing Law; Arbitration; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be  construed and performed in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, without  reference to Pennsylvania choice of law or conflicts rules. At the request of either party, any  dispute between the parties relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration  under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, provided,  however, that a party seeking specific performance hereunder pursuant to Section 29 below may  pursue such remedy in court. Unless otherwise agreed to by both parties, the location for any  arbitration proceedings concerning this Agreement shall be in Berks County, Pennsylvania. In the  event that a party hereto initiates a lawsuit in court concerning an arbitrable claim, controversy or  dispute, such party shall pay the other party for the costs, including attorneys’ fees that the other  party incurs to obtain an order from the court to stay or dismiss the lawsuit or otherwise compel  arbitration. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award such relief as is allowed by law. Except as  provided below, each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees incurred during the  course of the arbitration, as well as the costs of any witnesses or other evidence such party produces  or causes to be produced. The award of the arbitrator shall include findings of fact and conclusions  of law. Except as required by law, such award shall be kept confidential, and shall be final, binding,  and conclusive on the parties. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court of competent  jurisdiction. The prevailing party in the resolution of any dispute (“Dispute Resolution”)  concerning this Agreement, any provision hereof or any actual or alleged breach shall be entitled  to its reasonable attorneys’ fees, including investigation and costs of discovery, and other costs  connected with such Dispute Resolution, in addition to all other recovery or relief.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or  unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term hereof, such provision shall  

 

SPECIAL LIMITED AGENCY AGREEMENT–PAGE 22  CUSTOMERS BANK–BM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.     be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or  unenforceable provision never comprised a part hereof; and the remaining provisions hereof shall  remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable  provision or by its severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or  unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision  as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be  legal, valid and enforceable.  24. Force Majeure. A “Force Majeure Event” as used in this Agreement shall mean  an unanticipated event that is not reasonably within the control of the affected party or its  subcontractors (including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of regulatory and governmental  authorities, pandemics (as declared by the World Health Organization), strikes, war, riot and any  other causes of such nature), and which by exercise of reasonable due diligence, such affected  party or its subcontractors could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, overcome or obtain,  or cause to be obtained, a commercially reasonable substitute therefore, If any party is unable to  carry out the whole or any part of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force  Majeure Event, then the performance of the obligations under this Agreement of such party as they  are affected by such cause shall be excused during the continuance of the inability so caused,  except that should such inability not be remedied within THIRTY (30) days after the date of such  cause, the Party not so affected may at any time after the expiration of such THIRTY (30) day  period, during the continuance of such inability, terminate this Agreement on giving written notice  to the other Party. To the extent that the Party not affected by a Force Majeure Event is unable to  carry out the whole or any part of its obligations under this Agreement because a prerequisite  obligation of the Party so affected has not been performed, the Party not affected by a Force  Majeure Event also is excused from such performance during such period.  If a party’s  performance hereunder is rendered illegal or materially adversely affected by reason of changes in  applicable Rules, or if a party is advised in writing by any Regulatory Authority having or asserting  jurisdiction over Lender, Originator or the Loans, respectively, that the performance of its  obligations under this Agreement is or may be unlawful, then the party unable to perform, or whose  performance has been rendered illegal or who has been so advised by a Regulatory Authority, may  terminate this Agreement by giving written notice at least ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY (180) days  in advance of termination to the other party, unless such changes in the Rules or communication  from such Regulatory Authority require earlier termination, in which case termination shall be  effective upon such earlier required date. No Party shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder if  its failure of performance is due to removable or remediable causes which such party fails to  remove or remedy using commercially reasonable efforts within a reasonable time period.  Either  party rendered unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force  Majeure Event shall give prompt notice of such fact to the other party, followed by written  confirmation of notice, and shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with all  reasonable dispatch.  25. Successors and Third Parties. This Agreement and the rights and obligations  hereunder shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.  Except as expressly provided herein with respect to Third Party Service Providers, the obligations,  rights and benefits hereunder are specific to the parties hereto and shall not be delegated or  assigned without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably  withheld. As a condition to an assignment of any obligations, rights or benefits hereunder, the  

 

SPECIAL LIMITED AGENCY AGREEMENT–PAGE 23  CUSTOMERS BANK–BM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.     assignee of such rights and benefits must agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement  pursuant to an assignment document executed by such assignee, in form and substance reasonably  satisfactory to both Lender and Originator. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create or grant  any right, privilege, or other benefit to or for any person or entity other than the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge that Lender  can freely assign its rights with respect to the Loans and the Loan Documents without Originator’s  prior written consent.  26. Notices. All notices, requests, and approvals required or permitted by this  Agreement shall be in writing and addressed/directed to the other party at the address/facsimile  number below or at such other address of which the notifying party hereafter receives notice in  conformity with this Section 26.

SPECIAL LIMITED AGENCY AGREEMENT–PAGE 24  CUSTOMERS BANK–BM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.     representative of the party to be charged with such waiver.  28. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by the parties  hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which  together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In proving this Agreement in any judicial  proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart  signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought. Delivery of a signature hereto by  facsimile transmission or by e-mail transmission of an Adobe portable digital file (PDF) shall be  as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof, and any such facsimile or PDF  signature shall be treated as an original signature hereto.  29. Specific Performance. Certain rights which are subject to this Agreement are  unique and are of such a nature as to be inherently difficult or impossible to value monetarily. In  the event of a breach of this Agreement by either party hereto, an action at law for damages or  other remedies at law would be inadequate to protect the unique rights and interests of the parties.  Accordingly, the terms of this Agreement shall be enforceable in a court of equity by a decree of  specific performance or injunction. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not be  exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy which the parties may have.  30. Further Assurances.

In the event that Applicable Law requires that  Applicants and Borrowers or other affected persons be notified of a Security Incident, and  Applicable Law does not establish whether such notice must come from Lender or Originator,  Lender shall have the discretion of determining whether such notice shall come from Lender or  Originator.  In any event, the content, timing, and other details of such notice shall be subject to  both party’s approval within a reasonable time period. Breached party shall be responsible for  reimbursing non-breached party for the costs of such notifications and fielding feedback and  questions from those notified, and any other associated costs that non-breached party may incur in  connection with responding to or managing a Security Incident (for example, without limitation,  costs of credit monitoring services, call center services and forensics services, fines imposed by  regulatory agencies resulting from the Security Incident and costs associated with investigating  and responding to investigations and inquiries related to a Security Incident from federal and state  agencies and others, including legal fees).
