Arbitration will be before a single arbitrator active in a state bar with experience in software licensing in business.  The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction.  In no event will the arbitrator award pre-award interest not otherwise agreed between the parties, punitive damages, or an award in excess of the amount of direct compensatory damages actually incurred by the claiming party as are consistent with the damages limitations of this Agreement.  Neither a party, a witness, nor the arbitrator may disclose the contents or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties, unless, and then only to the extent necessary, required to enforce or challenge the award, as required by law, or as necessary for financial and tax reports and audits.  Notwithstanding this Section, either party may seek equitable relief from any court having jurisdiction to the extent necessary to prevent irreparable harm.

Customer agrees to pay to HFS the following fees for the Remote Processing Services.  Except as otherwise provided, all fees are recurring monthly fees.  Customer understands and agrees that all fees quoted herein are minimum monthly processing fees.  Conversion, training, installation and processor certification fees for any products not specified herein will be stated by HFS to Customer separately upon Customer’s request.

	
A.

	
Recurring Charges.  Commencing the month the Live Date occurs and for each month thereafter during the term of the Agreement, Customer agrees to pay the fees set forth in this Section 1:

a  Monthly Asset Value Payment (as defined below) prorated for the number of days remaining in the then current month; and

	
  

	
(ii)

	
a Monthly Asset Value Payment, which shall be applied by HFS towards the actual Monthly Asset Value Payment for the Customer’s last month Remote Processing Services under this Agreement (the amount by which the actual Monthly Asset Value Payment for such exceeds the payment made at this time shall be invoiced separately as of the last such month).

	
  

	
2)

	
Recurring Monthly Charges.  Customer shall pay to HFS a Monthly Asset Value Payment based on the Total Bank Assets as of the last business day of the immediately preceding month.

The Monthly Asset Value Payment calculated above will be discounted by $1081.00 for Two River Community Bank and $1081.00 for The Town Bank (following the Live Date of The Town Bank) during the term of this Agreement in consideration of the Customer’s 7-year commitment to the Phoenix System.

Service Level Response Guidelines

All Customer calls logged via GEMSsl that are not resolved during the initial call review will be followed up by HFS in order of priority and severity assigned in the HFS call tracking system.  The severity level, together with the Customer defined priority of the call, will determine how the HFS will respond to that Customer call and the approach the HFS will use in pursuing final resolution to the reported problem.  Final resolution may include, among other things, Instruction to the Customer as to how the problem can be avoided or corrected, instruction to the Customer for implementing a work around procedure or correction, issuance of a software or data correction that can be immediately applied by the Customer, development of a software correction that will be available to the Customer in a future release of the applicable HFS Product, development of a software enhancement that will be considered for availability to the Customer in a future release of the applicable HFS Product, or any combination of these processes.  The decision as to the severity level of the call and which process or processes will be used will be made in conjunction with the Customer, but final determination will be made by HFS.

A Support Representative will review each call and gather information to allow HFS to work towards a timely resolution.  To the extent possible, HFS will endeavor to address simple requests and informational type questions during the initial call review.  More difficult problems may also be resolved in this manner if they have previously been addressed by HFS.  However, given the uncertain nature of troubleshooting suspected software problems, closure timeframes are given only as objectives and actual resolution times will be determined on a case by case basis as will the actual processes required.  In all instances, calls are continuously monitored by Customer Support, who will provide regular progress reports to the Customers and escalate calls to senior management whenever appropriate.

Service Level for Remote Processing Services

	
A.

	
HFS shall make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Remote Processing Services are available for use by Customer not less than 96% of each calendar month.  The “availability” will be measured as the percentage of minutes each day that the Remote Processing Services are available for use by Customer, and will be measured as the number of minutes per month that the Remote Processing Services are capable of receiving and processing Customer’s data.  The “availability” of the Remote Processing Services shall be measured on a daily basis.  A one hundred and eighty (180) minute period shall be excluded from the calculation each day because HFS will be performing system maintenance at this time each day.  Additionally, the following “downtime” for the Remote Processing Services shall not be considered as available time for purposes of calculating the “availability” of Remote Process Services for each month: (i) “downtime” based on HFS performing system maintenance during the two (2) Sundays during each calendar month reserved for such purpose (as set forth in Schedule 2.1), and (ii) “downtime” caused by factors outside HFS’ control (such as downtimes caused by parties other than HFS like third party communication providers or Customer).

	
B.

	
Customer shall advise HFS in writing of any divergence from the “availability” terms set forth herein.

	
C.

	
HFS agrees that, if HFS is unable to provide the “availability” for the Remote Processing Services represented in Section A above for a given calendar month, HFS will provide priority support to Customer until the represented “availability” level is satisfied.  Additionally, in the event HFS is unable to provide the “availability” represented in Section A for more than six (6) consecutive calendar months, Customer, as its sole and exclusive remedy and HFS entire liability, shall have the right to a credit of one (1) Monthly Asset Value Payment (as set forth in Schedule 1.A.), toward its Recurring Fees for Remote Processing Services during the next calendar month (provided that such written notice is provided within thirty (30) days of the end of the sixth consecutive month).

SCHEDULE 3

DESCRIPTION OF DISASTER RECOVERY SERVICES AND RECORD RETENTION

Disaster Recovery Services

A “Disaster” is any unplanned interruption of the operations of or inaccessibility to the HFS Data Center, which appears, in HFS’ reasonable judgment, to require relocation of processing to an alternative site.  HFS will notify Customer as soon as possible after it deems a service outage to be a Disaster.  Following a Disaster, HFS will move the processing of Customer’s Services to an alternative processing center as expeditiously as possible, and shall coordinate the cutover of data lines with the appropriate carriers.  Customer shall maintain adequate records of all transactions during the period of Service Interruption, and shall have personnel available to assist HFS in implementing the switch over to the alternative processing site.  During a Disaster, optional or on-request services shall be provided by HFS only to the extent that there is adequate capacity at the alternate center, and only after stabilizing the provision of normal Services.

Testing

HFS will test its Disaster Recovery Services Plan by conducting a test annually.  Customer agrees to participate in the annual test as reasonably required by HFS.  Test results will be made available to Customer’s regulators, internal and external auditors, and (upon request) to Customer’s insurance underwriters.

Customer Business Continuity Planning

Customer understands and agrees that the HFS Disaster Recovery Plan is designed to minimize but not eliminate risks associated with a Disaster affecting HFS’ Application and the HFS Data Center.  HFS does not warrant that service will be uninterrupted or error free in the event of a Disaster.  Customer maintains responsibility for adopting a business continuity plan relating to disasters affecting Customer’s facilities, and for securing business interruption insurance or other insurance as necessary to property protect Customer’s revenues in the event of a Disaster.  HFS will ensure that disaster services shall meet all applicable FDIC or other federal regulatory requirements.

Communications for Customer Business Continuity

HFS will work with Customer to establish a plan for alternative data communications in the event of a disaster at the Customer’s location.  Customer shall be responsible for furnishing any additional communications equipment and data lines required under the adopted plan from the Customer’s Business Continuity facility to the designated HFS telecommunications vendor point-of-presence (POP), which ultimately connects to the HFS Data Center or the HFS alternative processing center.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such plans must comply with HFS’ requirements to the extent of connections to the Data Center and all third party communication service providers and other vendors used by Customer for such purposes are subject to HFS’ approval and the other terms of the Agreement to the extent applicable to Customer’s connection or communication with the Data Center.

Record Retention

HFS shall retain the following information from the Customer Databases for the periods set forth below, or as otherwise required by Customer’s regulatory agencies as reported by Customer to HFS in writing.  HFS may destroy all such data after the expiration of such periods.

Network and Equipment.  Customer will provide at its own expense all internal equipment, computer software, network equipment, additional communication lines, increased bandwidth, and interface devices required to use the Customer Software and access the RPS Products except where HFS has been retained to acquire equipment of this purpose.

The Option shall expire on December 10, 2022 (the “Expiration Date”).

2.             Type of Option.  To the extent possible, this Option is intended to be treated by the Company as an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  To the extent that, at or subsequent to grant, all or a portion of the Option ceases to qualify as an incentive stock option because of a failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, all or such portion of the Option shall be treated by the Company as a “nonqualified stock option”.
