      1.3.  Interpretation.
        In the
        event of a conflict between the general terms and conditions and the terms
        of
        any exhibits and schedules attached hereto, the terms of the schedules and
        exhibits shall prevail and control the interpretation of the Agreement with
        respect to the subject matter of the applicable schedules and/or exhibits.
        The
        exhibits and schedules together with the general terms and conditions shall
        be
        interpreted as a single document. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously
        in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
        but all
        of which together constitute one and the same agreement.

              TERM

            

       

      Unless
        this Agreement has been earlier terminated as provided herein, this Agreement
        shall continue for the Initial Term and shall be automatically renewed for
        additional twelve-month periods (each, a "Renewal Term") unless either party
        shall provide the other party with written notice of termination at least
        ninety
        (90) days prior to the expiration date for the Initial Term or Renewal Term,
        as
        applicable. Unless otherwise provided in the Services and Charges Schedules
        hereto, or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, the charges for
        Services provided by Metavante to Customer during any such Renewal Term shall
        be
        calculated in accordance with Metavante's then-current rates.

              IMPLEMENTATION

            

       

      3.1.  Development
        of Implementation Plan.
        Metavante, in consultation with Customer, will develop a detailed, customized
        plan for the Implementation (the "Implementation Plan"). The Implementation
        Plan
        will include: (i) a description of the tasks to be performed for the
        Implementation; (ii) allocation of responsibility for each of such tasks;
        and
        (iii) the schedule on which each task is to be performed. The Implementation
        project leaders for each party shall regularly communicate on the progress
        of
        the Implementation, the feasibility of the Implementation Dates specified
        in the
        Implementation Plan, and such other matters which may affect the smooth
        transition of the Services. Customer agrees to maintain an adequate staff
        of
        persons who are knowledgeable about the banking, data processing and information
        technology systems currently used by Customer. Customer further agrees to
        provide such services and to perform such obligations as are specified as
        Customer's responsibility in the Implementation Plan and as necessary for
        Customer to timely and adequately meet the scheduled dates set forth therein.
        Each party shall cooperate fully with all reasonable requests of the other
        party
        made necessary to effect the Implementation in a timely and efficient manner.
        The Implementation Plan may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties.
        

       

      3.2.  Implementation
        Resources.
        Metavante and Customer will provide a team of qualified individuals to assist
        in
        the Implementation effort. The anticipated team and description of their
        responsibilities is set forth in the Implementation Plan. 

       

      	4.  	
              SERVICES

            

       

      A. General.
        Subject
        to the terms of this Agreement, Metavante agrees to provide the services
        set
        forth in the Services and Charges Schedule attached hereto (the “Services”) for
        Customer, provided that (a) Customer contracts with a financial institution(s)
        approved by Metavante to serve as the issuer of Customer’s Stored Value Cards
        (each, an “Issuer”), and (b) the Issuer executes the Agreement attached hereto
        as Exhibit A. 

       

       

      B. Card
        Production Services.
        Delivery of cards will be deemed complete with respect to any order upon
        Metavante’s delivery of the supply of cards to either the United States Post
        Office, a common carrier or courier, or Customer’s designated employee or agent.
        Following delivery of the cards in accordance with the foregoing, the card
        production services with respect to such order shall be completed, and Metavante
        shall have no further responsibility whatsoever for any use, abuse, loss,
        damage, alteration, or theft of cards following delivery. Metavante shall
        be
        responsible to produce cards in conformance with applicable network standards
        and for the proper preparation of mailers (e.g., sealing and addressing).
        Customer shall notify Metavante in writing of any alleged breach of the
        foregoing by Metavante. Metavante’s sole responsibility, and Customer’s sole
        remedy, shall be to provide, at Metavante’s expense, a conforming replacement
        card to the appropriate cardholder(s). 

       

       

      C. Verification
        and Notice.
        Customer shall notify Metavante of any data entry errors, including any
        unauthorized transactions, new accounts, new files, or unauthorized amounts,
        within thirty (30) days of the date of the applicable Metavante report.
        Customer’s failure to notify Metavante of errors or discrepancies within such
        thirty (30) -day period shall constitute Customer’s agreement that it has
        reviewed and approved the content of each such report using proper internal
        control review procedures. Metavante does not guarantee that the Services
        will
        be one hundred percent (100%) error-free or that the variables and options
        selected and approved by Customer will produce a result, which is problem-free
        and otherwise meets the expectations of Customer. The only responsibility
        Metavante shall have with regard to (i) data entry errors and other similar
        human errors which occur in the usual course of business and (ii) unsatisfactory
        data processing results caused by options and variables selected or approved
        by
        Customer is, respectively, to correct such errors as they are discovered
        and to
        assist Customer in revising data processing options and variables to achieve
        a
        satisfactory result. 

       

       

      D. Settlement.
        Metavante will settle all Stored Value Card transactions directly with the
        Issuer. Notwithstanding that Metavante will settle all Stored Value Card
        transactions with the Issuer, Customer shall be responsible to Metavante
        for the
        full amount of any Stored Value Card transactions processed by Metavante
        and
        shall, upon Metavante’s invoice therefore, reimburse Metavante for such amounts
        in the event that Metavante is unable to settle the transactions with the
        Issuer
        for any reason.

      

      E.
        Visa/MasterCard/Discover/Network
        Requirements.

      

      (i)
        Customer shall comply with the articles, bylaws, operating regulations, rules,
        procedures and policies of Visa, MasterCard, Discover Network 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. 

      (ii)
        Customer acknowledges and agrees that, because Metavante is Customer's
        processor, Metavante may receive certain services from MasterCard, Visa,
        Discover Network and/or other Networks that Customer could receive directly
        in
        the event Customer performed the processing services for itself. Customer
        agrees
        that Metavante may pass-through to Customer any fees charged to Metavante
        for
        such services, and that Metavante has no responsibility or liability to Customer
        for any such services. 

      (iii)
        Prior to the transfer of the Services to Customer or its designee upon the
        Effective Date of Termination, Customer shall take all actions required by
        the
        applicable Network to effect the transfer. In addition to the charges specified
        on the Services and Charges Schedule, Customer shall be responsible for all
        interchange and network provider fees; and all dues, fees, fines, and
        assessments established by and owed by Customer to any Network.

              FEES

            

       

      5.1.  Services
        and Charges Schedule. 
        The fees
        for the Initial Services are set forth in the attached Services and Charges
        Schedule. Customer agrees to pay Metavante the fees specified in the Services
        and Charges Schedule for such services. Fees for New Services shall be as
        set
        forth in Metavante's then current standard pricing or, if applicable, the
        fees
        mutually agreed upon by the parties.

       

      5.2.  Implementation.
        Customer agrees to pay Metavante the fees relating to the Implementation
        on the
        terms and conditions set forth on the Services and Charges Schedule. In
        addition, Customer agrees to reimburse Metavante (i) for all Expenses reasonably
        incurred in connection with the Implementation; (ii) for Implementation of
        accounts or products not identified in the Implementation Plan as of the
        Effective Date; and (iii) for Metavante personnel or any independent contractors
        who perform services which are identified as the responsibility of the Customer
        in the Implementation Plan; and (iv) for Implementation related charges which
        may arise after the Implementation.

       

      5.3.  Excluded
        Costs.
        The
        fees set forth in the Services and Charges Schedule do not include Expenses,
        late fees or charges, or Taxes, all of which shall be the responsibility
        of
        Customer. In addition to the charges specified on the Services and Charges
        Schedule, Customer shall be responsible for all interchange and network provider
        fees.

       

      5.4.  Disputed
        Amounts.
        If
        Customer disputes any charge or amount on any invoice and such dispute cannot
        be
        resolved promptly through good faith discussions between the parties, Customer
        shall pay the amounts due under this Agreement less the disputed amount,
        and the
        parties shall diligently proceed to resolve such disputed amount. An amount
        will
        be considered disputed in good faith if (i) Customer delivers a written
        statement to Metavante on or before the due date of the invoice, describing
        in
        detail the basis of the dispute and the amount being withheld by Customer,
        (ii)
        such written statement represents that the amount in dispute has been determined
        after due investigation of the facts and that such disputed amount has been
        determined in good faith, and (iii) all other amounts due from Customer that
        are
        not in dispute have been paid in accordance with the terms of this
        Agreement.

       

      5.5.  Terms
        of Payment.
        Any and
        all amounts payable under this Agreement shall be due thirty (30) days following
        the date of invoice, unless otherwise provided in the Services and Charges
        Schedule. Undisputed charges not paid by the applicable due date shall be
        subject to annual interest at the rate of 12% or the highest rate permitted
        by
        law, whichever is lower. Customer shall also pay any collection fees, court
        costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and other fees, costs, and charges incurred
        by Metavante in collecting payment of the charges and any other amounts for
        which Customer is liable under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
        Customer agrees to maintain a depository account with a financial institution
        reasonably acceptable to Metavante for the payment of amounts payable hereunder,
        and hereby authorizes Metavante to initiate debit entries to such account
        for
        the payment of amounts payable hereunder. Customer agrees to provide Metavante
        with any and all information necessary for Metavante to initiate such debit
        entries via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system.

       

      5.6.  Modification
        of Terms and Pricing.
        Charges
        for all Services shall be subject to adjustments which shall not exceed,
        in
        aggregate effect, the greater of (i) an annual rate of five percent (5%),
        or
        (ii) the change to the Employment Cost Index over the applicable
        period.

       

      5.7.  Training
        and Education.

       

      A.  Metavante
        shall provide training in accordance with the training schedule developed
        pursuant to the Implementation Plan. The sessions shall be held at a Metavante
        datacenter location to be determined by Metavante. Customer shall be responsible
        for all Expenses incurred by the participants and Metavante's trainers in
        connection with such education and training.

       

      B.  Metavante
        will provide to Customer, at no charge, one set of each of the Documentation.
        When the Documentation is updated, Metavante will provide the updates to
        Customer at no additional charge. Additional sets of the Documentation may
        be
        purchased by Customer at Metavante's then current price list. Customer may
        not
        modify, reproduce, or distribute the Documentation without the express consent
        of Metavante.

        Except
        as may be expressly agreed in writing by Metavante, Metavante’s Performance
        Warranty does not apply to:

       

      A.
          defects,
        problems, or failures caused by the Customer’s nonperformance of obligations
        essential to Metavante’s performance of its obligations; and/or

       

      	B.
                	
              defects,
                problems, or failures caused by an event of force
                majeure.

            

       

      6.3.  DISCLAIMER
        OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES. 
        THIS
        PERFORMANCE WARRANTY, AND THE WARRANTIES IN ARTICLE 12
        HEREOF,
        ARE IN LIEU OF, AND METAVANTE DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
        CONDITIONS, OR REPRESENTATIONS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN) WITH
        RESPECT TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
        LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
        OR
        SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE (WHETHER OR NOT METAVANTE KNOWS, HAS REASON TO
        KNOW,
        HAS BEEN ADVISED, OR IS OTHERWISE IN FACT AWARE OF ANY SUCH PURPOSE), WHETHER
        ALLEGED TO ARISE BY LAW, BY REASON OF CUSTOM OR USAGE IN THE TRADE, OR BY
        COURSE
        OF DEALING. IN ADDITION, METAVANTE DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION
        TO
        ANY PERSON OTHER THAN CUSTOMER WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER

        AGREEMENT.

              MODIFICATION
                OR PARTIAL TERMINATION 

            

       

      7.1.  Modifications
        to Services. 
        Metavante may relocate, modify, amend, enhance, update, or provide an
        appropriate replacement for the software used to provide the Services, or
        any
        element of its systems or processes at any time or withdraw, modify or amend
        any
        function of the Services, provided that the functionality of the Services
        is not
        materially adversely affected.

       

      7.2.  Partial
        Termination by Metavante. 
        Except
        as may be provided in any Schedule, Metavante may, at any time, withdraw
        any of
        the Services upon providing ninety (90) days' prior written notice to Customer,
        provided that Metavante withdraws such Service(s) from its entire customer
        base.
        Metavante may also terminate any function or any Services immediately upon
        any
        final regulatory, legislative, or judicial determination that providing such
        function or Services is inconsistent with applicable law or regulation or
        the
        rights of any Third Party. If Metavante terminates any Service, Metavante
        agrees
        to assist Customer, without additional charge, in identifying an alternate
        provider of such terminated Service.

       

      7.3.  Partial
        Termination by Customer. 
        Customer
        agrees that, during the Term, Customer shall obtain exclusively from Metavante
        all of its requirements covered by the Services. If Customer breaches the
        foregoing covenant, the same shall constitute a partial termination of this
        Agreement and Customer shall pay Metavante the Termination Fee for the affected
        Service, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

       

      	8.  	
              TERMINATION/DEFAULT

            

       

      8.1.  Early
        Termination. 
        The
        terms and conditions set forth on the Termination Fee Schedule of the Agreement
        shall govern the early termination of this Agreement (or any
        Service).

       

      8.2.  For
        Cause.  If
        either
        party fails to perform any of its material obligations 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. 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 thirty (30) days of the defaulting party’s receipt
        of notice of the Default, if the Default is capable of cure within thirty
        (30)
        days, or (b) if the Default is not capable of cure within thirty (30) days,
        the
        defaulting party does not both (i) implement a plan to cure the Default within
        thirty (30) 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. 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.

                TERMINATION RIGHTS AND
                RESPONSIBILITIES

            

       

      9.1.  Termination
        Assistance.
        Following the expiration or early termination of this Schedule, Metavante
        shall
        provide Customer, at Customer's expense, all necessary assistance to facilitate
        the orderly transition of Services to Customer or its designee ("Termination
        Assistance"). As part of the Termination Assistance, Metavante shall assist
        Customer to develop a plan for the transition of all Services then being
        performed by Metavante under this Schedule, from Metavante to Customer or
        its
        designee, on a reasonable schedule developed jointly by Metavante and Customer.
        Prior to providing any Termination Assistance, Metavante shall deliver to
        Customer a good faith estimate of all such Expenses and charges including
        charges for custom programming services. Customer understands and agrees
        that
        all Expenses and charges for Termination Assistance shall be computed in
        accordance with Metavante's then current standard prices for such products,
        materials and services. Nothing contained herein shall obligate Customer
        to
        receive Termination Assistance from Metavante. 

       

      9.2.  Continuation
        of Services.
        Unless
        Metavante terminates this Schedule for Customer's default, upon at least
        ninety
        (90) days' prior written request by Customer, Metavante shall continue to
        provide Customer all Services and the Effective Date of Termination shall
        be
        extended for a maximum period of twelve (12) months. If Customer elects to
        receive the Services for such period, Metavante's then current standard pricing
        shall continue to apply to the provision and receipt of such Services.

       

      9.3.  Trailing
        Activity.
        For at
        least 120 days following the Effective Date of Termination, Customer shall
        maintain a settlement account with Metavante or the depository institution
        designated by Metavante which Metavante may charge to settle any trailing
        activity which accrues prior to the Effective Date of Termination, and which
        is
        not known to Metavante until sometime thereafter (including any Chargeback
        of a
        Transaction which is authorized prior to the Effective Date of Termination).
        Customer shall pay to Metavante fees at Metavante’s then current standard rates
        to settle such trailing activity. Any form of termination notwithstanding,
        to
        protect the reputations of Customer and Metavante, the reasons for termination
        shall remain absolutely confidential outside of Customer’s and Metavante’s
        internal personnel, except for reporting that may be required under federal
        law.

      10.1.  Equitable
        Relief. 
        Either
        party may seek equitable remedies, including injunctive relief, for a breach

      10.2.  Exclusion
        of Incidental and Consequential Damages. 
        Independent of, severable from, and to be enforced independently of any other
        provision of this Agreement, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY
        (NOR TO ANY PERSON CLAIMING RIGHTS DERIVED FROM THE OTHER PARTY’S RIGHTS) IN
        CONTRACT, TORT, (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, FOR INCIDENTAL,
        CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND--including
        lost profits, loss of business, or other economic damage, and further including
        injury to property, AS A RESULT OF BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OR OTHER TERM OF
        THIS
        AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE
        PARTY
        LIABLE OR ALLEGEDLY LIABLE WAS ADVISED, HAD OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT
        KNEW OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF.

       

      10.3.  Maximum
        Damages Allowed. 
        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and for any reason,
        including breach of any duty imposed by this Agreement or independent of
        this
        Agreement, and regardless of any claim in contract, tort (including negligence)
        or otherwise, Metavante's total, aggregate liability under this Agreement
        shall
        in no circumstance exceed payments made to Metavante by Customer for the
        Service
        to which the claim relates during the three (3) months prior to the act or
        event
        giving rise to such claim.

       

      10.4.  Statute
        of Limitations. 
        No
        lawsuit or other action may be brought by either party hereto, or on any
        claim
        or controversy based upon or arising in any way out of this Agreement, after
        one
        (1) year from the date on which the cause of action arose regardless of the
        nature of the claim or form of action, whether in contract, tort (including
        negligence) or otherwise; provided, however, the foregoing limitation shall
        not
        apply to the collection of any amounts due Metavante under this
        Agreement.

       

      10.5.  Tort
        Claim Waiver. 
        In
        addition to and not in limitation of any other provision of this Article
        11,
        each party hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waives any right
        to
        recover from the other party, and Customer waives any right to recover from
        any
        Eligible Provider, any economic losses or damages in any action brought under
        tort theories, including, misrepresentation, negligence and/or strict liability
        and/or relating to the quality or performance of any products or services
        provided by Metavante. For purposes of this waiver, economic losses and damages
        include monetary losses or damages caused by a defective product or service
        except personal injury or damage to other tangible property. Even if remedies
        provided under this Agreement shall be deemed to have failed of their essential
        purpose, neither party shall have any liability to the other party under
        tort
        theories for economic losses or damages.

       

      10.6.  Liquidated
        Damages. 
        Customer
        acknowledges that Metavante shall suffer a material adverse impact on its
        business if this Agreement is terminated prior to expiration of the Term,
        and
        that the resulting damages may not be susceptible of precise determination.
        Customer acknowledges that the Termination Fee is a reasonable approximation
        of
        such damages and shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and not a
        penalty.

       

      10.7.  Essential
        Elements. 
        Customer
        and Metavante acknowledge and agree that the limitations contained in this
        Article 10 are essential to this Agreement, and that Metavante has
        expressly relied upon the inclusion of each and every provision of this
        Article 10 as a condition to executing this Agreement.

        Customer

        a Third
        Party against Metavante based on Metavante’s performance of the Services in

              CONFIDENTIALITY
                AND OWNERSHIP 

            

       

      13.1.  Customer
        Data. 
        Customer
        shall remain the sole and exclusive owner of all Customer Data and its
        Confidential Information (as defined in Section 13.3), regardless of whether
        such data is maintained on magnetic tape, magnetic disk, or any other storage
        or
        processing device. All such Customer Data and other Confidential Information
        shall, however, be subject to regulation and examination by the appropriate
        auditors and regulatory agencies to the same extent as if such information
        were
        on Customer's premises. 

       

      13.2.  Metavante
        Systems. 
        Customer
        acknowledges that it has no rights in any software, systems, documentation,
        guidelines, procedures and similar related materials or any modifications
        thereof provided by Metavante, except with respect to Customer's use of the
        same
        during the Term to process its data.

       

      13.3.  Confidential
        Information. 
        "Confidential Information" of a party shall mean all confidential or proprietary
        information and documentation of such party, whether or not marked as such
        including, with respect to Customer, all Customer Data. Confidential Information
        shall not include: (i) information which is or becomes publicly available
        (other
        than by the party having the obligation of confidentiality) without breach
        of
        this Agreement; (ii) information independently developed by the receiving
        party;
        (iii) information received from a Third Party not under a confidentiality
        obligation to the disclosing party; or (iv) information already in the
        possession of the receiving party without obligation of confidence at the
        time
        first disclosed by the disclosing party. The parties acknowledge and agree
        that
        the substance of the negotiations of this Agreement, and the terms of this
        Agreement are considered Confidential Information subject to the restrictions
        contained herein. 

       

      13.4.  Obligations
        of the Parties.  Except
        as
        permitted under this Section 13.4 and applicable law, neither
        party shall use, copy, sell, transfer, publish, disclose, display, or otherwise
        make any of the other party's Confidential Information available to any Third
        Party without the prior written consent of the other party. Each party shall
        hold the Confidential Information of the other party in confidence and shall
        not
        disclose or use such Confidential Information other than for the purposes
        contemplated by this Agreement and, to the extent that Confidential Information
        of Customer may be subject to the Privacy Regulations, as permitted by the
        Privacy Regulations, and shall instruct their employees, agents, and contractors
        to use the same care and discretion with respect to the Confidential Information
        of the other party or of any Third Party utilized hereunder that Metavante
        and
        Customer each require with respect to their own most confidential information,
        but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care, including the
        utilization of security devices or procedures designed to prevent unauthorized
        access to such materials. Each party shall instruct its employees, agents,
        and
        contractors of its confidentiality obligations hereunder and not to attempt
        to
        circumvent any such security procedures and devices. Each party's obligation
        under the preceding sentence may be satisfied by the use of its standard
        form of
        confidentiality agreement, if the same reasonably accomplishes the purposes
        here
        intended. All such Confidential Information shall be distributed only to
        persons
        having a need to know such information to perform their duties in conjunction
        with this Agreement. A party may disclose Confidential Information of the
        other
        party if required to do so by subpoena, court or regulatory order, or other
        legal process, provided the party notifies the other party of its receipt
        of any
        such process, and reasonably cooperates, at the other party’s expense, with
        efforts of the disclosing party to prevent or limit disclosure in response
        to
        such process. 

       

      13.5.  Information
        Security. 
        Metavante shall be responsible for establishing and maintaining an information
        security program that is designed to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality
        of Customer Data, (ii) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards
        to the
        security or integrity of Customer Data, and (iii) protect against unauthorized
        access to or use of Customer Data that could result in substantial harm or
        inconvenience to Customer or any of its customers. Customer
        shall be responsible for maintaining security for its own systems, servers,
        and
        communications links as necessary to (i) protect the security and integrity
        of
        Metavante's systems and servers on which Customer Data is stored, and (ii)
        protect against unauthorized access to or use of Metavante's systems and
        servers
        on which Customer Data is stored.

       

      13.6.  Ownership
        and Proprietary Rights. 
        Metavante reserves the right to determine the hardware, software and tools
        to be
        used by Metavante in performing the Services. Metavante shall retain title
        and
        all other ownership and proprietary rights in and to the Metavante Proprietary
        Materials and Information, and any and all derivative works based thereon.
        Such
        ownership and proprietary rights shall include any and all rights in and
        to
        patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secret rights. Customer agrees
        that
        the Metavante Proprietary Materials and Information are not "work made for
        hire"
        within the meaning of U.S. Copyright Act 17 U.S.C. Section 101. 

       

      13.7.  The
        Privacy Regulations.
        In the
        event that Customer requests Metavante to disclose to any Third Party or
        to use
        any of Customer’s Confidential Information, and such Confidential Information is
        or may be subject to the Privacy Regulations, Metavante reserves the right,
        prior to such disclosure or use, (i) to review any initial, annual, opt-out,
        or
        other privacy notice that Customer issued with respect to such Confidential
        Information pursuant to the Privacy Regulations, and if requested by Metavante,
        Customer shall promptly provide Metavante with any such notice, and (ii)
        to
        decline to disclose to such Third Party or to use such Confidential Information
        if Metavante, in Metavante’s sole discretion, believes that such disclosure or
        use is or may be prohibited by the Privacy Regulations or by any such
        notice.

       

      13.8.  Publicity.
        Neither
        party shall refer to the other party directly or indirectly in any media
        release, public announcement or public disclosure relating to this Agreement
        or
        its subject matter, in any promotional or marketing materials, lists or business
        presentations, without consent from the other party for each such use or
        release
        in accordance with this Section, provided that Metavante may include Customer’s
        name in Metavante’s customer list and may identify Customer as its customer in
        its sales presentations and marketing materials without obtaining Customer’s
        prior consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Metavante’s request Customer
        agrees to issue a joint press release prepared by Metavante to announce the
        relationship established by the parties hereunder. Customer agrees that such
        press release shall be deemed approved by Customer in the event that, within
        five (5) Business Days of receiving Metavante’s proposed press release, Customer
        does not provide written notice to Metavante describing in reasonable detail
        Customer’s objections to the press release. All other media releases, public
        announcements, and public disclosures by either party relating to this Agreement
        or the subject matter of this Agreement (each, a “Disclosure”), including
        promotional or marketing material, but not including (i) announcements intended
        solely for internal distribution, or (ii) disclosures to the extent required
        to
        meet legal or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the
        disclosing party, shall be subject to review and approval, which approval
        shall
        not be unreasonably withheld, by the other party prior to release. Such approval
        shall be deemed to be given if a party does not object to a proposed Disclosure
        within five (5) Business Days of receiving same.

              DISASTER

      14.1.  Services
        Continuity Plan. 
        Metavante shall maintain throughout the Term of the Agreement a Services
        Continuity Plan (the "Plan") in compliance with applicable regulatory
        requirements. Review and acceptance of the Plan as may be required by any
        applicable regulatory agency shall be the responsibility of Customer. Metavante
        shall cooperate with Customer in conducting such reviews as such regulatory
        agency may from time to time reasonably request. A detailed Executive Summary
        of
        the Plan has been provided to Customer. Updates to the Plan shall be provided
        to
        Customer without charge.

       

      14.2.  Relocation. 
        If
        appropriate, Metavante shall relocate all affected Services to an alternate
        disaster recovery site as expeditiously as possible after declaration of
        a
        Disaster, and shall coordinate with Customer all requisite telecommunications
        modifications necessary to achieve full connectivity to the disaster recovery
        site, in material compliance with all regulatory requirements. "Disaster"
        shall
        have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

       

      14.3.  Resumption
        of Services. 
        The Plan
        provides that, in the event of a Disaster, Metavante will be able to resume
        the
        Services in accordance therewith within the time periods specified in the
        Plan.
        In the event Metavante is unable to resume the Services to Customer within
        the
        time periods specified in the Plan, Customer shall have the right to terminate
        this Agreement without payment of the Termination Fee upon written notice
        to
        Metavante delivered within forty-five (45) days after declaration of such
        Disaster.

       

      14.4.  Annual
        Test. 
        Metavante shall test its Plan by conducting one (1) test annually and shall
        provide Customer with a description of the test results in accordance with
        applicable laws and regulations.

       

      	15.  	
              GENERAL
                TERMS AND CONDITIONS

            

       

       

      15.1.  Data
        Backup.
        Customer shall maintain adequate records for at least ten (10) Business Days
        including backup on magnetic tape or other electronic media where transactions
        are being transmitted to Metavante, from which reconstruction of lost or
        damaged
        items or data can be made. Customer assumes all responsibility and liability
        for
        any loss or damage resulting from failure to maintain such records.

       

      15.2.  Transmission
        of Data.
        If the
        Services require transportation or transmission of data between Metavante
        and
        Customer, the responsibility and expense for transportation and transmission
        of,
        and the risk of loss for, data and media transmitted between Metavante and
        Customer shall be borne by Customer. Data lost by Metavante following receipt,
        shall either be restored by Metavante from its backup media or shall be
        reprocessed from Customer's backup media at no additional charge to
        Customer.

       

      15.3.  Reliance
        on Data.
        Metavante will perform the Services described in this Agreement on the basis
        of
        information furnished by Customer. Metavante shall be entitled to rely upon
        any
        such data, information, or instructions as provided by Customer. If any error
        results from incorrect input supplied by Customer, Customer shall be responsible
        for discovering and reporting such error and supplying the data necessary
        to
        correct such error to Metavante for processing at the earliest possible time.
        In
        providing the Services, Metavante shall rely on the instructions and directions
        of Customer, and shall not be responsible for any liability arising from
        Metavante’s proper performance of the Services in accordance with Customer’s
        instructions.

       

      15.4.  Use
        of
        Services.
        Customer assumes exclusive responsibility for the consequences of any Proper
        Instructions Customer may give Metavante, for Customer's failure to properly
        access the Services in the manner prescribed by Metavante, and for Customer's
        failure to supply accurate input information. Customer agrees that, except
        as
        otherwise permitted in this Agreement or in writing by Metavante, Customer
        will
        use the Services only for its own internal business purposes to service its
        bona
        fide customers and clients and will not sell or otherwise provide, directly
        or
        indirectly, any of the Services or any portion thereof to any Third
        Party.

       

      15.5.  Solicitation. 
        Neither
        party shall solicit the employees of the other party for employment during
        the
        Term of this Agreement, for any reason. The foregoing shall not preclude
        either
        party from employing any such employee (i) who seeks employment with the
        other
        party in response to any general advertisement or solicitation that is not
        specifically directed towards employees of such party or (ii) who contacts
        the
        other party on his or her own initiative without any direct or indirect
        solicitation by such party. 

       

      15.6.  Performance
        by Subcontractors. 
        Customer
        understands and agrees that the actual performance of the Services may be
        made
        by Metavante, one or more Affiliates of Metavante, or subcontractors of any
        of
        the foregoing Entities (collectively, the “Eligible Providers”). For purposes of
        this Agreement, performance of the Services by any Eligible Provider shall
        be
        deemed performance by Metavante itself. Metavante shall remain fully responsible
        for the performance or non-performance of the Services by any Eligible Provider,
        to the same extent as if Metavante itself performed or failed to perform
        such
        services.
        Customer
        agrees to look solely to Metavante, and not to any Eligible Provider, for
        satisfaction of any claims Customer may have arising out of this Agreement
        or
        the performance or nonperformance of Services. However, in the event that
        Customer contracts directly with a Third Party for any products or services,
        Metavante shall have no liability to Customer for such Third Party’s products or
        services, even if such products or services are necessary for Customer to
        access
        or receive the Services hereunder.

       

      15.7.  Proper
        Instructions. 
        "Proper
        Instructions" shall mean those instructions sent to Metavante by letter,
        memorandum, telegram, cable, telex, telecopy facsimile, computer terminal,
        e-mail or other "on line" system or similar means of communication or given
        orally over the telephone or given in person by one or more of the person(s)
        whose name(s) and signature(s) are listed on the most recent certificate
        delivered by Customer to Metavante which lists those persons authorized to
        give
        orders, corrections and instructions in the name of and on behalf of Customer.
        Proper Instructions shall specify the action requested to be taken or
        omitted.

        contained in this Agreement have been the subject of active and complete
        negotiation between the parties and represent the parties’ voluntary agreement
        based upon the level of risk to Customer and Metavante associated with their

        Agreement. The parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement
        shall not be construed in favor of or against any party by reason of the
