[**]
 
2.4 Changes to the Product Roadmap, Etc.  Bank and Tech acknowledge that the Parties’ priorities may change from time to time, and changes to the Product Roadmap may be required.  Furthermore, the timing of delivery of Enhancements may change based on the various transition activities of the Parties pursuant to the Transition Agreement. Changes to the Product Roadmap that materially impact the timing of delivery of [**] Enhancements or the expected functionality or features included in [**] Enhancements shall be mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties prior to any changes being made.  No changes or deletions may be made to the Product Roadmap that affect the [**] Enhancements without Bank’s prior written consent.  Tech will not publically announce the availability of [**] Enhancements or [**] Enhancements without prior written notification to Bank.
 
2.5 Bank Cooperation.  Bank shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to reasonably cooperate, with Tech to carry out all tasks reasonably necessary for the development, integration, and acceptance of Enhancements in accordance with the Product Roadmap and as anticipated herein.

2.8 Delivery of [**] Enhancements.  Subject to Section 2.4, Tech shall use Reasonable Best Efforts to deliver the [**] Enhancements for use by Bank in accordance with the Product Roadmap.
 
2.9 Acceptance of Enhancements.
 
(a) [**] Enhancements.  As part of Tech’s product development process, Tech shall provide Bank with pre-development, functional business requirements for the [**] Enhancements for Bank’s review and written approval.  Following timely receipt of Bank’s approval, and upon Tech satisfying itself that the [**] Enhancements conform to the functional business requirements, Tech will provide Bank with the applicable Acceptance Materials.  Bank shall review the Acceptance Materials and shall accept or reject the corresponding [**] Enhancement prior to expiration of the Acceptance Period.  If Bank discovers that any [**] Enhancement does not meet the approved functional business requirements, Bank shall notify Tech of the deficiencies, including which acceptance criteria were not met.  Tech, at its own expense and as part of the Annual Enhancement Value, shall modify, repair, adjust or replace the [**] Enhancement in order to correct the deficiency and submit the revised Acceptance Materials within thirty (30) calendar days or such other mutually agreed time frame following the date of Bank’s deficiency notice.  Bank will review the revised Acceptance Materials and determine whether the modified [**] Enhancement is acceptable.  Tech shall assist Bank, as reasonably requested, in reviewing the acceptance tests as anticipated herein.  Bank’s rejection of any [**] Enhancement after two Acceptance Periods shall be a material breach of this Services Agreement and Bank, at its option, may immediately terminate this Services Agreement.  In addition to other remedies that Bank may have under this Services Agreement or otherwise, in the event two (2) or more [**] Enhancements deployed into production result in material production issues, Tech and Bank will mutually modify the acceptance process to allow for additional bank involvement in the overall Enhancement testing process.
 
(b) [**] Enhancements. As part of Tech’s product development process, Tech shall provide Bank with pre-development, functional business requirements for the [**]
 
 
5

 
Enhancements that have been approved by the [**].  Upon Tech satisfying itself that the [**] Enhancements conform to the functional business requirements, Tech will provide Bank with the applicable Acceptance Materials.  Bank shall review the Acceptance Materials and shall, within the Acceptance Period, either confirm that the corresponding [**] Enhancement materially conforms to the functional business requirements or notify Tech that the [**] Enhancement does not conform to the functional business requirements, including specifying the particular manner in which the [**] Enhancement does not so conform.  In the event Tech receives notification that a [**] Enhancement does not conform to the functional business requirements, Tech, at its own expense and as part of the Annual Enhancement Value, shall modify, repair, adjust or replace the [**] Enhancements in order to correct the identified deficiencies and submit the revised Acceptance Materials within thirty (30) calendar days or such other mutually agreed time frame following the date of Bank’s deficiency notice.  Bank will review the revised Acceptance Materials, and will either confirm that the resubmitted [**] Enhancement materially conforms to the functional business requirements or notify Tech again that the [**] Enhancement does not so conform.  Tech shall assist Bank, as reasonably requested, in reviewing the Acceptance Materials as anticipated herein.  If after [**] Acceptance Periods Bank has not confirmed that a [**] Enhancement materially conforms to the functional business requirements, Tech, at its option, may: (a) at its own expense and not as part of the Annual Enhancement Value, repair, modify, adjust or replace the [**] Enhancement so that such [**] Enhancement materially conforms to the functional business requirements; or (b) elect to exclude the value of such [**] Enhancement (as calculated in accordance with Schedule C) from the Annual Enhancement Value; provided, however, that in the event Tech chooses option (a) above and does not satisfactorily adjust, modify, repair or replace the [**] Enhancement within ninety (90) days of the Bank’s third notification of rejection, the value of such [**] Enhancement, as calculated in accordance with Schedule C, shall not be included in the Annual Enhancement Value.
 
(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to the commencement of the formal Acceptance Period set forth above with respect to Acceptance Materials, Tech may deliver, and Bank may review and conduct preliminary tests with respect to, the Acceptance Materials (or components thereof).  In addition, Bank may from time to time consult with Tech to monitor the interim progress of the creation and development of Enhancements, and Bank may provide preliminary feedback to Tech as to the suitability of any such Enhancements.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that no such informal reviews, preliminary testing, interim monitoring or feedback shall be deemed to be part of the formal acceptance testing procedure set forth in Section 2.9, nor shall it be deemed to act as an acceptance or rejection of any such Enhancements, and Bank shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights, or any of Tech’s obligations, set forth in this Section 2.9 or elsewhere in this Services Agreement.  Any acceptance or rejection of any Enhancements shall occur only during the Acceptance Periods, as set forth above.  Contemporaneously with its formal delivery to Bank of the Acceptance Materials for acceptance testing, Tech shall provide a written notice to Bank (the “Acceptance Testing Notice”), and Bank’s receipt of such Acceptance Testing Notice shall signal the formal commencement of the acceptance testing with respect to Acceptance Materials.  The Acceptance Testing Notice shall state that Tech has delivered versions of Acceptance
 
 
6

 
Materials, which Tech reasonably believes to be production ready, to Bank for formal acceptance testing in accordance with Section 2.9 of this Services Agreement.
 
ARTICLE 3                      
 

 
CUSTOMIZATIONS
 
3.1 Development of Customizations by Tech.  Bank may request that Tech develop specific features or functionality that are not included in the Product Roadmap for incorporation into the PayMode Services in order to meet the specific requirements of Bank or one or more of Bank’s Customers (the “Customizations”).  Unless Tech has a reasonable basis for not doing so, Bank and Tech shall enter into a mutually agreed upon Statement of Work for development of each Customization, setting forth, at a minimum: (a) the Customization and other Work Product to be provided by Tech to Bank pursuant to the Statement of Work; (b) specifications for the Customization and/or other Work Product; (c) a Schedule detailing the timeframe for the work and delivery of the Customization and/or other Work Product; and (d) the fees, if any, that Bank will pay Tech for the development (the “Customization Fees”).  Bank shall reasonably cooperate with Tech to carry out all tasks reasonably necessary for Tech’s development of Customizations in accordance with the time Schedule described in the Statement of Work.  All Customizations and other Work Product provided to Bank pursuant to a Statement of Work hereunder shall be subject to the acceptance testing procedure set forth for [**] Enhancements in Section 2.9(a) above.
 
3.2 Changes.  Bank may direct changes to Statements of Work, including changes to Customizations and schedules.  If Bank directs any such change, Tech will promptly notify Bank in writing if Tech believes that such change merits an adjustment to the Customization Fees.  Following receipt of such information, Bank may elect to withdraw its request for the change or enter into negotiations with Tech regarding adjustments to the Customization Fees.  Any agreed upon changes, including adjustments to the Customization Fees, will be reflected in written amendments to the affected Statements of Work, executed by the Relationship Managers of both Parties.
 
ARTICLE 4

SCHEDULE A-2

 
APPENDIX A TO SCHEDULE A
 
PAYMODE SERVICES
 
 
I.  
KEY FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
 
 
A.  
General (applies to all services)
 
a.  
Web access
 
The PayMode application will have a web user interface that allows Customers to send and receive payments, manage their PayMode profile and view reports of their payments.  The web user interface will be accessed through the web URL of www.paymode.com.  Bank may redirect Customers using the web URL www.bankofamerica.com/paymode to the web site hosted by Tech at the URL of www.paymode.com.
 
b.  
Login
 
The application will require each user accessing the system to have a unique user ID and confidential password to log in to the system.  Users will be locked out of the system after [**] invalid logon attempts.
 
Passwords will have a minimum password expiration time period and a minimum password length that are consistent with Bank’s information security standards.  Password composition requirements (e.g. contain at least [**] character) also will be consistent with Bank’s information security standards.
 
Tech users will not have access to any Customer user passwords.  They will be able to assist properly authenticated users by resetting passwords.  Password resets will generate a confidential email to the email address on file for the user and the application will require the user to change their password upon the first login after a password reset.
 
As each user is added to the PayMode application, they will receive a validation email with a confidential link which is to be used for their assigned user ID to login to the application.  The link is valid for [**] hours and the user must utilize this activation link in order to complete their first login to the system.  Users experiencing difficulty with the link can work with Tech’s customer support team to have the validation link resent.
 
c.  
Enrollment
 
Each Customer using the PayMode Processing Services must enroll in PayMode through the user interface.  During enrollment, the user enters information about the Customer, about the bank account(s) to be used to send or receive payments, about one PayMode account to be associated with that bank account and about themselves as the enrolling user.  Customers will not be required to accept any
 
APPENDIX TO SCHEDULE A-1

 
Terms of Use in order to access the PayMode Processing Services, except that in the event a Customer wishes to be a Collector or a biller using the PayMode Payer Invoice Management service, the application will prompt the user to review and accept the PayMode Terms of Use agreement.  The user can accept the agreement, decline it, or forward it via system generated email to another user at their company for review and approval.  If the agreement is declined the enrollment is not completed and the new membership is not authenticated and activated.
 
After the enrollment is completed, the company cannot use PayMode to send or receive payments until the Authentication process described in Section II-B of this Appendix A is completed.  The enrolling user, however, can utilize profile administration to add and update information while they are waiting for the authentication to be completed.
 
d.  
Profile administration
 
Users with the appropriate privileges will be able to use the PayMode membership administration function to:
 
·  
Update company information for the membership (name, address, tax ID, etc.)
·  
[**]
·  
[**]
·  
[**]
·  
Add, delete or change the profile of users on the membership.
·  
Add, delete or change the user privileges associated with each user for each PayMode account

e.  
User security
 
Every user will have a unique set of privileges that defines what functions they can use within the PayMode system.  When user privileges are changed, an email notification is sent to all of the administrative users on the PayMode membership.
 
The user privilege set will be sufficiently granular to allow Customers to segregate duties in a way that meets audit and risk management requirements, including, but not limited to, allowing Customers using PayMode for healthcare claims payments to meet the minimum necessary access requirement for the HIPAA regulations.
 
As new functions are added to the application, new privileges will be added as needed.
 
f.  
User home page
 
APPENDIX TO SCHEDULE A-2

 
The application will present to each user that logs in to the system, a user home page that presents them with a variety of useful information:
 
[**]

g.

The reports will have a consistent look and feel.  When applicable, each report will have the following common functionality:
 
[**]

h.  
Web Site navigation
 
The Web Site will have a consistent look and feel with navigation that utilizes best practices for website navigation.  As new web technologies evolve, the Web Site will take advantage of those technologies which are stable to provide the best possible user experience when navigating the site.
 
When possible, the Web Site will provide multiple options for navigating to frequently used functions, so as to meet the needs of users with preferences for varying approaches.  For example, reports and administration can be accessed through tabs and/or through links on the sidebar.
 
Tech will execute usability testing when introducing significant new functionality to the Web Site in order to ensure that the navigation of the Web Site is intuitive to users and easy to use.  Use of the Web Site should continue to be intuitive enough that minimal printed user documentation is required.  Online help functions should be sufficient in most cases to supplement the intuitive navigation presented on the web pages themselves.
 
The Web Site will be able to be accessed and utilized by users with the following minimum system requirements.  The requirements will be updated as technological advancements require that they evolve.
 
PayMode® Minimum System Requirements
 
For optimum workstation performance, the following is recommended:
 
* Intel® 1 GHz processor or higher (or equivalent)

k.  
Payment Processing Controls
 
The application will provide a set of non-Customer facing reports designed to provide the payment processing controls needed to ensure that all payments are processed accurately and timely and to ensure that no payment is lost or altered in processing.  This includes reports needed for payment and transaction balancing and reconciliation.  These reports take two forms:  reports designed to provide sub-ledger detail for expected balances in system settlement accounts and reports designed to provide “warehouse” balancing for transactions in some state of being processed.
 
l.  
Administrative/operational functions
 
In addition to the Support Services functions outlined elsewhere in this Appendix A, Tech will provide Bank a variety of administrative services to support the delivery of the PayMode service to Bank Customers.  These include:
