GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Introduction. These general terms and conditions (“General Terms”) and each Addendum, now or hereafter attached to the Agreement (as defined herein), are a part of the Information Technology Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Independent Bank Corp. of Rockland, MA (“Client”) and Fidelity Information Services, Inc., (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “FIS”). The pricing attachment(s) related to each Addendum are incorporated into and made a part of the Agreement.

2. Services. If a fully executed Addendum or other Service Agreement describes the provision of a service (“Service”) by FIS, the following subsections apply:

2.1 The “Commencement Date” of a Service is the earlier of: (i) the date the Service is first installed and available for Client’s use in production; (ii) Client’s first production use of the Service; or (iii) the commencement date agreed upon by the parties in writing. In the event that there is a dispute over the Commencement Date and the parties are unable to mutually agree upon a Commencement Date after reasonable discussion, the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the three (3) month anniversary of the Effective Date of the Addendum for that Service. If commencement of a Service is delayed for more than ninety (90) days after the Effective Date of the Addendum (or sixty (60) days after the agreed upon Commencement Date for a denovo client) for any reason beyond FIS’ control, FIS may suspend delivery of the Service, and if the delayed commencement is caused by the acts or omissions of Client, then Client shall pay any one-time fees and minimum fees through the balance of the Addendum’s term. The Commencement Date for any Addendum may be rescheduled to a mutually agreed-upon date upon request.

2.2 Unless FIS and Client have agreed otherwise, FIS shall be the exclusive provider of each Service, and Client shall use each Service solely in accordance with FIS’ then current standard user operating instructions and requirements (“Specifications”).

2.3 FIS Responsibilities:

2.3.1 If Client pays all applicable fees when due, FIS shall: (i) provide Client and Client’s U.S. customers (“Customers”) with access to and use of the Service in accordance with the Specifications; (ii) provide Client with standard reporting, if any, associated with usage of the Service; and (iii) perform the Service in compliance with all federal laws and regulations applicable to third party providers of that Service. “Law” means any law, rule, regulation, ordinance, code or order to which a party may be subject or under which a party may exercise rights.

2.3.2 FIS shall perform an on-going review of federal Laws applicable to the provision of the Services and Software. FIS shall maintain the features and functions for the Services and Software in accordance with all federal Laws applicable to such features and functions, including new or amended federal Laws (as applicable and necessary to support compliance obligations), in Client’s environment. In addition, FIS shall, at Client’s request, work with Client in developing and implementing a suitable and commercially reasonable procedure or direction to enable Client to comply with state and local Laws applicable to the Services and Software being provided to Client, and, to the extent commercially possible, modify the manner in which FIS provides the Service prior to the regulatory deadline for such compliance. Any modification in a Service or Software necessitated by such a change in state or local Laws shall be paid for by Client. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not reduce or eliminate FIS’ duty or obligation to comply with state laws that are applicable to FIS as a third party processor or state laws that FIS has specifically agreed to comply with, including, without limitation, the MA Privacy Act (MGL c. 93H and 201 CMR 17.00 et seq.

2.4 Client Responsibilities:

2.4.1 Client shall: (i) provide Customer information to FIS in accordance, and otherwise comply, with the Specifications; (ii) assume all risk and liability associated with transactions, including any risk of counterfeit, charged-back or fraudulent transactions; (iii) comply with all applicable rules, regulations and laws associated with use of a Service, including those relating to usury, truth-in-lending, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, automated clearing house transfers, networks associations, electronic funds transfer, privacy and direct marketing (“Laws”), regardless of whether Client uses any forms or other Materials supplied by FIS; and (iv) provide FIS with notice of any changes in applicable Law that impact the Service. Any modification in a Service necessitated by a change in Laws shall be paid for by Client. However, FIS shall endeavor to distribute the cost of such changes among all FIS clients impacted.

2.4.2 Client shall be responsible for monitoring and interpreting (and for complying with, to the extent such compliance requires no action by FIS), the applicable Laws pertaining to Client’s business (“Legal Requirements”). Based on Client’s instructions, FIS shall implement the processing parameter settings, features and options (collectively, the

Page 2 of 11


		CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED

“Parameters”) within FIS’s Services and systems that shall apply to Client, subject to the change request process in place between FIS and Client to establish requirements, development arrangements and deployment timelines. Client shall be responsible for determining that such selections are consistent with the Legal Requirements and with the terms and conditions of any agreements between Client and its Customers. In making such determinations, Client may rely upon the written descriptions of such Parameters contained in the Specifications. FIS shall perform the Services in accordance with the Parameters.

2.5 If a Service contemplates that FIS will be clearing or settling transactions and/or processing payments, then FIS, in its sole discretion, may require Client to establish and maintain a clearing or settlement account (“Settlement Account”) with a minimum balance determined by FIS. Client shall maintain sufficient funds in the Settlement Account to cover any amounts required to facilitate the orderly processing and settlement of transactions, and is solely responsible for properly applying all credits and debits made to the Settlement Account. Client shall notify FIS in writing of any change in Settlement Account information within three (3) business days of occurrence.

2.5.1 To the extent FIS has not agreed to be responsible, Client shall be solely responsible for the transmission of any information, data, records or documents (collectively, “Data”) necessary for FIS to perform a Service at Client’s expense, and shall bear any risk of loss resulting from that transmission until FIS confirms receipt. FIS shall bear the risk of loss resulting from Data transmitted to Client until Client confirms receipt. If Client directs FIS to disclose Data to a third party, Client shall provide FIS with written authorization to do so and bear any risk of loss or liability associated with that disclosure. In addition, FIS shall be held harmless from any claim resulting from the third party’s use of that Data, and may, in its discretion, require the third party to enter into a written agreement with FIS governing disclosure of that Data.

2.5.2 FIS shall not be responsible for the accuracy, completeness or authenticity of any Data furnished by Client or a third party, and shall have no obligation to audit, check or verify that Data. If any Data submitted by Client or a third party to FIS is incorrect, incomplete or not in the required format, FIS may require Client to resubmit the Data or FIS may correct the Data and bill Client its then current rates for performing those corrections. FIS shall attempt to notify Client prior to Client incurring such expense.

2.6 In accordance with FFIEC business continuity guidelines, FIS shall maintain a disaster recovery plan designed to minimize the risks associated with a disaster affecting FIS’ ability to provide the Services under the Agreement. FIS’ recovery time objective (RTO) under such plan is as set forth in the continuity program summary document made available to Client or such other RTO as has been agrees on in an Addendum or service level agreements pertaining to an Addendum. FIS will maintain adequate backup procedures in order to recover Client’s Data to the point of the last available good backup, with a recovery point objective (RPO) of twenty-four (24) hours, depending on the availability of data. FIS will test its disaster recovery plan annually. Upon request, FIS will provide a summary of its disaster recovery plan and test results sufficient to establish compliance with FFIEC guidelines, excluding any proprietary information or NPI. Client authorizes FIS to provide Client’s Data to external suppliers in order to test and prepare for disaster recovery, as well as provide replacement services in the event of a disaster. Client is responsible for adopting a disaster recovery plan relating to disasters affecting Client’s facilities and for securing business interruption insurance or other insurance necessary for Client’s protection.

2.6 FIS may change features, functions, and attributes of a Service from time to time so long as those changes do not have a material adverse impact on the performance of the Service or the Confidentiality of Client Data. If Client requests a change to a Service, the parties shall negotiate the terms for such change, which terms will be set forth in a mutually agreed upon statement of work (“SOW”).

3. Third Party Services. If an Addendum describes the provision of a third party product or service (“Third Party Service”), the following subsections also apply:

3.1 With respect to each Third Party Service, FIS shall: (i) provide Client with the applicable standard reporting; (ii) bill Client for use; and (iii) provide Level One Customer Care (as defined below) to Customers. Client acknowledges that FIS is not the provider of any Third Party Service, and Client shall, if required by FIS, enter into a separate agreement for the Third Party Service directly with the applicable provider. In its provision of “Level One Customer Care”, FIS will: (i) handle incoming Customer calls regarding a Third Party Service, (ii) gather information to identify the issue, (iii) respond to basic Customer questions; and (iv) if necessary, refer issues requiring further analysis or troubleshooting to the Third Party Service provider for additional Customer support.

3.2 Except to the extent warranties or representations are stated otherwise, FIS makes no warranties or representations of any kind regarding the correctness, accuracy, completeness, merchantability or fitness of any Third Party Service or any associated data, information or system. FIS will pass through to Client end-user warranties and service level standards to the extent received by FIS from Third Party Service providers.

3.3 If a Third Party Service is terminated prior to the end of its term either (i) by Client or by FIS at Client’s request, or (ii) as a result of Client’s action or inaction, Client shall pay FIS, in addition to any other amounts owed, an amount equal to any termination costs and fees incurred or owing by FIS as a result of such termination, and shall be refunded any unearned prepaid amounts.

4. Use of Services, Software and Third Party Services. Client agrees that, except as otherwise permitted in the Agreement or in writing by FIS, Client will use the Service, Third Party Services and/or Software only for its own internal business purposes to service its bona fide U.S.-based Customers and will not sell or otherwise provide, directly or indirectly, any of the Service, Third Party Service, Software or any portion thereof to any third party. “Software” shall mean, individually or collectively, any software and/or interfaces as may be licensed to Client by FIS or its affiliates pursuant to a Software License and Maintenance Addendum to the Agreement. Client agrees that FIS may use all suggestions for improvement and comments regarding the Service, Third Party Service, or Software that are furnished by Client to FIS in connection with the Agreement, without accounting or reservation. Unless and except to the extent that FIS has agreed to provide Client support services for Client, Client shall be responsible for handling all inquiries of its Customers relating to the Service.

5. Materials. As a convenience, FIS may provide Client with sample forms, procedures, scripts, marketing materials or other similar information (collectively, “Materials”). Client shall have a license to use those Materials, if any, solely for its own internal use during the term of the related Addendum and solely in a manner that is consistent with the Specifications. Client’s license to use the Materials shall expire immediately upon termination of the Agreement or the related Addendum. Client is responsible for its use of Materials and bears sole liability for any such use.

6. Training. FIS shall provide Client with training in the use and implementation of Services, Third Party Services, and/or Software as described in the Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically set forth in an Addendum or its attachments, FIS shall provide training at FIS’ then current rates, plus travel expenses (if applicable), on mutually agreeable dates and times. At Client’s expense, FIS may offer training sessions on-line or at an FIS or Client location.

7. Fees and Other Charges.

7.1 Client shall pay all fees and charges set forth in the pricing attachment(s) to the Addendum. ***** percent (*****%) of the one-time fees shall be paid upon execution of each Addendum, and the remaining *****percent (*****%) shall be paid upon the applicable Commencement Date, unless otherwise set forth in an Addendum. Recurring fees shall be paid beginning on the Commencement Date. FIS may change any pass-through fees (e.g., postage, supplies, courier, data transmission, and telecommunications expenses), outside of its control as its cost for such items change. FIS may adjust recurring fees for its products and services by the amount of the percentage change in CPI annually provided the minimum aggregate pricing change during any 12-month period is *****percent (*****%), and the maximum aggregate pricing change during any 12-month period is three percent (*****%), of the pricing then applicable to the product or service. Such increase shall be effective on the first day of the month of the anniversary of the Commencement Date of an Addendum. If the CPI-U is ever discontinued or revised, FIS and Client will in good faith agree to select another government index as a substitute in order to obtain substantially the same result. Fees, costs and expenses owed by Client are exclusive of charges for non-standard materials, work, hardware, software or travel. Travel time, if required, will be charged at *****% of FIS’ standard hourly rates, or such other rates and amount agreed upon by Client, but will not exceed eight (8) hours per day per resource.

7.2 Client agrees to pay FIS the amount of its invoice within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. In the event of a dispute over the amount of an invoice, Client will pay the undisputed amount, and the parties will engage in the dispute resolution procedures of this Agreement to resolve such dispute as soon as reasonably practicable.

7.3 Billing errors shall only be corrected as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event later than twenty-four (24) months following the last occurrence of the error. In the event of over-billing, FIS will correct the error on the next invoice by credit to Client. If Client was under-billed, FIS will add the under–billed amount to a future invoice. FIS may utilize any amounts owed to Client under the Agreement to pay or reimburse FIS for amounts owed by Client.

7.4 All charges and fees to be paid by Client under the Agreement (including the Addenda) are exclusive of any applicable withholding, sales, use, excise, value added or other taxes. The parties agree to cooperate in determining any taxable and non-taxable products or services. Any such taxes for which FIS is responsible to collect from Client shall be billed by FIS and paid by Client. Client agrees to reimburse or indemnify FIS for any taxes, penalties and interest assessed by any taxing authority arising out of the Agreement. FIS shall pay and hold Client harmless for any taxes on its property, income or payroll. Client agrees to hold FIS harmless for any sales, use, excise, value added or other taxes assessed by a taxing authority arising out of the Agreement. In the event of any assessment by a taxing authority, both parties agree to cooperate with each other to resolve issues in order to minimize such assessment.

8.2 Any intellectual property rights that existed prior to the Effective Date of an Addendum shall belong solely to the party owning them at that time. Neither party shall be entitled to any copyright, trade secret or patent of the other party.

8.3 Client shall not alter, obscure or revise any proprietary, restrictive, trademark or copyright notice included with, affixed to, or displayed in, on or by a Service, Third Party Service, Software, Deliverable or Specifications.

9. Confidentiality.

9.1 Each party shall treat information received from the other that is designated as “confidential” at or prior to disclosure (“Confidential Information”) as strictly confidential. FIS designates all information relating to the Services, Third Party Services, Software, Deliverables, Specifications and the terms of the Agreement as its Confidential Information. Client designates non-public financial information that is personally identifiable to a Customer (referenced in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 as “Non-public Personal Information” or “NPI”) as its Confidential Information.

9.2 Each party shall: (i) restrict disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information to employees and agents solely on a “need to know” basis in accordance with the Agreement; (ii) advise its employees and agents of their confidentiality obligations; (iii) require agents to protect and restrict the use of the other party’s Confidential Information; (iv) use the same degree of care to protect the other party’s Confidential Information as it uses to safeguard its own Confidential Information of similar importance; (v) establish procedural, physical and electronic safeguards, designed to meet the objectives of the FFIEC Interagency Guidelines, to prevent the compromise or unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and meet the requirements of Massachusetts data privacy laws and regulations, including Mass. G.L. c.93H, 201 C.M.R. §17.00 (Standards for the Protection of Personal Information of Residents of the Commonwealth) and any other Massachusetts data privacy law or regulation which may subsequently be enacted and issued, all as they may be modified from time to time; and (vi) notify the other party of any unauthorized possession or use of its Confidential Information as soon as possible following notice of that unauthorized use or possession. FIS shall promptly notify Client of any incident that has resulted or is likely to result in the misuse of NPI, and shall comply with all Laws regarding NPI that are applicable to it as a third party processor.

9.3 Confidential Information shall remain the property of the party from or through whom it was provided. Except for NPI, neither party shall be obligated to preserve the confidentiality of any information that: (i) was previously known; (ii) is a matter of public knowledge; (iii) was or is independently developed; (iv) is released for disclosure with written consent; or (v) is received from a third party to whom it was disclosed without restriction. Disclosure of Confidential Information shall be permitted if it is: (a) required by law; (b) in connection with the tax treatment or tax structure of the Agreement; or (c) in response to a valid order of a U.S. court or other governmental body, provided the owner receives written notice and is afforded a reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order. Upon termination of an Addendum, each party shall destroy the other party’s Confidential Information relating to that Addendum in a manner designed to preserve its confidentiality, or, at the other party’s written request and expense, return it to the disclosing party. The party required to destroy the data shall furnish certification of its destruction upon request. Upon termination of the Agreement, each party shall destroy any remaining Confidential Information of the other party in the same manner or, if so requested, return it to the disclosing party at its expense.

10. Indemnification.

10.1 Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FIS and its officers, employees, directors, agents, affiliates and shareholders, in their individual capacities or otherwise, from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, penalties, actions, causes of action, suits, obligations, liabilities, damages, delays, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees (collectively, “Losses”) asserted by a third party that result from, relate to, arise out of, or are incurred in connection with: (i) Client’s gross negligence or willful misconduct resulting in personal injury or property damage; (ii) Client’s misuse of a Service, Materials, Third Party Service, Software, Specifications or Deliverables; (iii) inaccurate or incomplete Data provided by or on behalf of Client; (iv) Client’s use of a Service, Third Party Service, Software and/or Deliverable with computer programs or services owned, licensed or provided by someone other than FIS; (v) Client’s failure to comply with applicable Laws; (vi) Client’s failure to comply with the terms of any Third Party Service

10.2 FIS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Client, and its officers, employees, directors, agents and shareholders, in their individual capacities or otherwise, from and against any and all Losses asserted by a third party that result from, relate to, arise out of, or are incurred in connection with: (i) FIS’ gross negligence or willful misconduct resulting in personal injury or property damage; (ii) FIS’ failure to comply with laws applicable to FIS as a third party provider of a Service; or (iii) a claim that a Service, Software, or Deliverable infringes a registered U.S. patent, trademark, copyright. However, FIS shall not be liable for (and Client shall indemnify FIS against) any infringement claim that results, in whole or in part, from: (a) Client’s use of a Service, Software or Deliverable in a manner or for a purpose not specifically described in the Agreement (including the Addenda) or Specifications; (b) Client’s use of a Service, Software or Deliverable with computer programs, processes, hardware, systems, or services owned, licensed or provided by someone other than FIS; or (c) Client’s products or services; or d) Client’s failure to implement corrections or changes provided by FIS.

10.3 FIS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Client, and its officers, employees, directors, agents and shareholders, in their individual capacities or otherwise, from and against any and all Losses to the extent that they result from, relate to, arise out of, or are incurred in connection with: (i) FIS negligence or willful misconduct resulting in personal injury or property damage, (ii) FIS’ failure to comply with applicable laws; (iii) FIS’ material breach of this Agreement; (iv) a claim that a Service, Software or Deliverable infringes on a registered U.S. patent, trademark or copyright or violates a trade secret. However, FIS shall not be liable for, and Client shall indemnify FIS from any infringement claim to the extent caused by (a) Client’s use of a Service, Software or deliverable in a manner or for a purpose contrary to the stated use or purposes described in this Agreement (including the Addenda) or Specifications; (b) Client’s use of a Service, Software or Deliverable with computer programs, processes, hardware systems or services owned, licensed or provided by someone other than FIS; or (c) a failure to implement corrections or changes provided by FIS.

10.4 FIS and Client each shall implement and maintain technical, physical and organizational safeguards that are designed to protect and secure all Confidential Information (including NPI) against unauthorized access, dissemination or misappropriation, and against loss, destruction or alteration, that comply with US federal regulatory requirements, the Massachusetts data privacy law, 201 CMR 17.00 (Standards for the Protection of Personal Information of Residents of the Commonwealth), and any other states within the United States applicable to the Service being provided to Client relating to data privacy, personal data and data protection. FIS will notify Client promptly in writing of any confirmed material security breach, intrusion, or attack that is successful in inappropriately accessing Client’s Confidential Information; and Client will notify FIS promptly in writing of any confirmed material security breach, intrusion, or attack that is successful in inappropriately accessing FIS’ Confidential Information affecting FIS’ products or Services to Client. In addition to any other right to reimbursement or indemnification specifically set forth in this Agreement, FIS agrees to indemnify and hold Client harmless from and against all Data Confidentiality and Security Damages that are incurred by Client. The foregoing indemnification is not subject to the monetary direct damage liability limitations set forth in Section 16.5. For purposes of this Section, “Data Confidentiality and Security Damages” means actual out-of-pocket damages, losses, fines, penalties, deficiencies, liabilities (including settlements and judgments) incurred by Client, and the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including interest, court costs, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts and professionals and other fees and expenses of litigation and other proceedings or arising out of any claim, default or assessment) incurred by Client, in each case to the extent caused by FIS, excluding any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, delay or punitive damages (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of business profits or revenue, business interruption, loss of reputation, loss of market value, loss of information, loss of goodwill, reputational damage or other pecuniary loss). FIS shall not be liable for any Data Confidentiality and Security Damages to the extent caused by Client, including, without limitation, Client’s failure to properly secure its network and electronic systems or any resulting disclosure, loss, unauthorized access or misappropriation.

10.5 The obligation to provide indemnification under this section is contingent upon: (i) the indemnified party promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim; (ii) the indemnifying party having sole control over the defense and settlement of the claim; (iii) the indemnified party reasonably cooperating during defense and settlement efforts; and (iv) the claim not arising, in whole or in part, out of the action or inaction of the indemnified party.

10.6 Except in the case of material breach by a party to whom the obligation of indemnification would otherwise be owed, the obligations to provide indemnification under this Section 10 shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of six (6) years after termination.

10.7 To the extent that FIS engages a subcontractor, FIS shall remain solely responsible for the performance of the subcontracted work including compliance related obligations, and Client shall have no recourse, and shall assert no claim, against any subcontractor of FIS. FIS shall not use any subcontractors that perform all or part of any Services for Client or store any Confidential Information of Client’s outside of the United States.

FIS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, DELAY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS OR REVENUE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF INFORMATION, OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS), EVEN IF FIS WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

11.2 Except as otherwise specifically agreed, under no circumstances shall FIS be liable for any Losses caused, by the acts or omissions, negligent, intentional or otherwise of: (i) Client; (ii) a third party; (iii) use of attachments, features, or devices not authorized by the Specifications; (iv) improper or inadequate conditions at a site; (v) improper or incomplete installation not caused by FIS; (vi) equipment changes, reconfigurations, upgrades or relocations; (vii) abuse, misuse, alteration or use that is inconsistent with the terms of the Agreement or Specifications; (viii) incorrect or incomplete Data supplied by Client or its agents other than FIS; (ix) software, hardware or systems not supplied by FIS; (x) a Force Majeure Event; or (xi) a failure that is not directly attributable to, or reasonably anticipated by, FIS or under FIS’ direct control.

12. Outsourcing Management; TSP Audit and Vendor Diligence Information.

12.1 FIS will cooperate with Client to meet its responsibilities to diligence and audit FIS as its third party technology service provider (TSP), as contemplated by the FFIEC IT Examination Handbook and related guidelines (TSP Guidelines). FIS will regularly make available audit reports and materials that address Client’s vendor management and diligence requirements under the TSP Guidelines. Specific information regarding the available materials meeting the TSP Guidelines shall be made available under the “Vendor Diligence and Audit Materials” on the FIS Client Portal.

12.2 Through its FIS Client Portal and FIS Governance Site, Client will have continuous electronic access to audit reports, attestations, and other detailed information regarding FIS’ internal systems testing and procedures, and FIS’ information security and data privacy controls. These audit materials and attestation evidence FIS’ compliance with all industry and regulatory standards and include recent independent audits (such as SSAE 16’s), third party attestations and certifications (such as AT101’s and PCI AOC’s), and detailed information and testing results regarding physical, technical and administrative controls utilized by the Service business lines within FIS and the security of Client’s Confidential Information.

12.3 Client may attend any or all of the FIS In-Depth Conferences, which provide detailed audit information and in-depth in-person discussions with FIS’ senior executive team regarding FIS’ information security and risk management processes and system testing results. The In-Depth Conferences provide Client with comprehensive vendor diligence information, including (i) a thorough, interactive review of FIS enterprise-wide security and system controls, and (ii) specific assessments of industry standards and best practices for financial technology information security and risk management. Currently, FIS offers four (4) In-Depth Conferences each year, with clients attending a two-day event onsite at different FIS facilities.

12.4 FIS shall permit governmental agencies that regulate Client in connection with a Service performed by FIS to examine FIS’ books and records to the same extent as if that Service was being performed by Client on its own premises, subject to FIS’ confidentiality and security policies and procedures.

12.5 FIS shall (i) conduct regular vulnerability tests and security audits and provide Client with the summaries of such tests and audits upon reasonable request by Client; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to regularly upgrade the Service in order to be consistent with generally accepted industry and security standards.

13. Use of Names and Trademarks. FIS may use Client’s name and logo: (i) in a general listing of users of its products and services; and (ii) as reasonably necessary to perform any Services. Other than the foregoing: (a) neither party shall use the other party’s logos, trademarks or stock exchange ticker symbol unless pre-approved in writing; and (b) the parties shall consult with each other in preparing any press release or other similar communication that mentions or implies a relationship between them.

14. Relationship.

14.1 FIS is an independent contractor. Neither FIS nor any of its representatives are an employee, partner or joint venturer of Client. FIS has the sole obligation to supervise, manage and direct the performance of its obligations under the Agreement. FIS reserves the right to determine who will be assigned to perform its obligations, and to make replacements or reassignments as it deems appropriate. Each party shall be solely responsible for payment of compensation to its respective personnel, and assumes full responsibility for payment of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes or contributions imposed or required under unemployment insurance, social security and income tax laws with respect to such personnel. Except as expressly stated in the Agreement, neither party shall be an agent of the other, nor have any authority to represent the other in any matter. To the extent that FIS engages a subcontractor, FIS shall remain solely responsible for the performance of the subcontracted work. Client shall have no recourse, and shall assert no claim, against any subcontractor of FIS.

14.2 For Services provided by a Third Party, Client will advise FIS of the terms of its Client’s Vendor Management Program that apply. FIS agrees to use all reasonable efforts to seek and maintain Third Party compliance in a timely and thorough manner with all applicable requirements.

15. Insurance. FIS shall maintain and provide annual evidence of the following minimum insurance coverage and limits: (i) statutory workers’ compensation in accordance with all Federal, state, and local requirements; (ii) employer’s liability insurance with limits of coverage of $1,000,000 (a) per accident, bodily injury (including death) by accident, (b) per bodily injury (including death) by disease, and (c) per employee for bodily injury (including death) by disease as required by the state in which the Services are performed; (iii) commercial general liability with an aggregate of $2,000,000, and $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, property damage and personal injury; (iv) automobile liability insurance, including FIS-owned, leased, and non-owned vehicles with a single limit of $1,000,000; (v) property insurance, covering the hardware and other equipment used by FIS to provide the Services; (vi) errors and omissions, including technology E&O coverage, with limits of $10,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate; (vii) umbrella (excess) liability insurance for the above-referenced comprehensive general liability and employer’s liability coverage in the amount of $10,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate; and (viii) crime insurance, with coverage extended to include property of Client in the care, custody, or control of FIS, or for which FIS is legally liable, with limits of $10,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Client and FIS shall in good faith renegotiate a reasonably satisfactory the amount of required insurance coverage every three years.

16. Termination and Additional Remedies.

16.1 In addition to any other remedies, either party may terminate this Agreement or an Addendum on thirty (30) days advance written notice if the other party: (i) fails to cure a material breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice to do so; (ii) is the subject of a dissolution, reorganization, insolvency or bankruptcy action that is not dismissed within forty-five (45) days of being filed; (iii) suffers the appointment of a receiver, conservator or trustee; (iv) commits any act related to the Service with an intent to defraud the other party; (v) discontinues performance under the Agreement because of a binding order of a court or regulatory body. If a breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the non-breaching party may not terminate the Agreement so long as the breaching party promptly commences work and completes correction within ninety (90) days of receiving written notice of the breach. However, notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) if a party has delivered a notice of material breach regarding the same issue to the other party on two previous occasions within a twelve (12) month period, then the party not in breach shall not be required to permit the other party ninety (90) days to cure, but may terminate with respect to the Service for which a repeated breach has been documented at the sole election of the party not in breach, and without the requirement to pay Services Liquidated Damages for the Service terminated; and (b) if the material breach is a breach by FIS of customer information security, or a breach of laws under the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 or the Massachusetts Privacy Act, then the Client may terminate any or all of the Services under this Agreement upon not less than sixty (60) days’ notice without the requirement of paying any Services Liquidated Damages.

16.2 Due to the likelihood of irreparable injury, each party shall be entitled to seek an injunction against the other for any breach of confidentiality, indemnification and intellectual property obligations.

16.3 If an Addendum is terminated by FIS prior to the end of its term for Client’s breach pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, or if Client terminates the Agreement or an Addendum prior to the end of its term (except as otherwise

Page 8 of 11

permitted hereunder), Client shall pay FIS, in addition to any other amounts owed, liquidated damages (“Services Liquidated Damages”) equal to: (i) the greater of (a) the Applicable Percentage of the average monthly fees incurred under each terminated Addendum during the preceding six (6) months (or, during such shorter period if the Service has been in production for less than six (6) months), (b) any minimum fees due under each Addendum, or (c) Applicable Percentage of the estimated monthly charge for the Service (as set forth in the pricing attachment to each terminated Addendum), in each case multiplied by the number of months remaining in the then current period of the terminated Addendum; (ii) any costs incurred by FIS as a consequence of the termination; plus (iii) any unpaid one-time fees set forth in each terminated Addendum. If termination of the Agreement or an Addendum occurs prior to the providing of any such Services, then the amount due under subsection (i) above will be calculated using the minimum monthly amount due for each such Service, if any, or the estimated monthly charge (as set forth in the pricing attachment) that FIS would have reasonably expected to receive. If Services Liquidated Damages are paid to FIS in connection with an acquisition of Client by a third party, and the acquisition does not occur and Client retains the Services as before the acquisition, then FIS shall, at Client’s option, refund the amount paid as Services Liquidated Damages within thirty (30) days of Client’s request, or credit such amounts paid toward future amounts owed to FIS. As used herein the term “Applicable Percentage” means *****percent (*****%) for each Addendum designated in the Order Form as a “Core” Software, Service or Third Party Service, and *****percent (*****%) for any other Software, Service or Third Party Service.

16.4 Upon termination of the Agreement or an Addendum, FIS shall cooperate in the transition of the Services to Client or a replacement service provider and, if requested by Client, perform ancillary services for the applicable fees. However, no master files, transaction data, test data, record layouts or other similar information shall be provided by FIS until: (i) Client and, if applicable, the replacement service provider, have executed FIS’ deconversion confidentiality agreement; (ii) Client has fully paid all outstanding amounts; (iii) Client has made a reasonable deposit or completely prepaid FIS’ fees for deconversion assistance; and (iv) the parties mutually agree on a date for deconversion that is at least one hundred eighty (180) days following FIS’ receipt of Client’s notice of deconversion. If the one hundred eighty (180) day period ends between the third week of November and the third week of January, the time period for completing deconversion may be extended until the first week of February. In addition, upon termination of the Agreement, FIS may, at Client’s request and expense, continue to provide the corresponding Service(s) until the deconversion is completed, provided the parties agree to such continuation in writing.

16.5 Excepting for damages not subject to the cap contained in this Section 16.5, FIS’ total liability to Client for a Service shall be limited to the aggregate amount of fees actually paid by Client for the corresponding Service during the ***** (*****) months preceding the date of the event that is the basis for the first claim. However, if the negligence or error by FIS is in the performance or nonperformance of its Data processing duties hereunder or under any Addendum, then FIS’ liability shall be limited to reprocessing the Data for Client, in which event, FIS’ obligation to reprocess Data is contingent upon Client promptly notifying FIS within two (2) business days or two (2) processing cycles after the receipt of erroneous Data.

16.6 If FIS’ rating under the Uniform Rating System for Information Technology (URSIT) is at any time downgraded to “4” or “5”, then FIS will promptly notify Client of such downgrade and Client may at that time (but shall not be required to) declare that a breach of its contract has occurred. In such event, Client will communicate in writing to FIS that a breach of contract has occurred, and FIS shall then have 30 days to communicate to Client FIS’s plan to correct the breach of contract and an additional 60 days to correct such breach. If FIS does not agree that a breach has occurred, the parties will utilize the arbitration provisions set forth in this Agreement and if the arbitrator determines that a breach of Client’s contract has occurred, then Client may terminate this Agreement without the requirement of paying Services Liquidated Damages, early termination fees or deconversion fees.

17. Export Restrictions and Unlawful Activity.

17.1 FIS’ Confidential Information is subject to export controls under applicable law. Accordingly, Client shall: (i) remain in compliance with all requirements associated with these laws; (ii) cooperate fully with any audit related to these laws; and (iii) not utilize FIS’ Confidential Information in any country that is embargoed by the U.S. government. Client shall be solely responsible for the importation of FIS’ Confidential Information, including obtaining any approval or permit necessary for importation or use.

17.2 Neither Client nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or other persons associated with or acting on its behalf: (i) have received or will receive any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other payment from FIS; (ii) is a governmental entity; or (iii) is in violation of, or will violate any applicable anti-corruption or anti-bribery law. FIS shall have an irrevocable right to immediately terminate the Agreement or any other relationship with Client if this subsection is breached.

18. Miscellaneous.

18.1 Client shall not assign, subrogate or transfer any interest, obligation or right arising out of the Agreement without prior written consent from FIS, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any dissolution, consolidation, merger, transfer or reorganization of a majority of the assets or stock of Client shall constitute an attempted assignment, and shall be void from its inception. Subject to the foregoing, the terms of the Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of permitted successors and assigns.

18.2 Any claim, controversy or dispute between the parties with respect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any subject matter governed by this Agreement, other than disputes regarding a party’s compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement (which either party may present to a court of competent jurisdiction), that has not been resolved through informal methods set forth in this Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration of the issue in accordance with the following procedures. The election of arbitration as the sole ultimate remedy for dispute resolution, however, shall not limit the ability of either party to send notices of termination or otherwise exercise their rights of termination set forth in this Agreement.

(a) Either party may request arbitration by giving the other involved party written notice to such effect, which notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the nature of the dispute, controversy or claim. Such arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, 1939 Rhode Island Avenue, N.W., Suite 509, Washington, D.C. 20036 (“AAA”), as amended by this Agreement and conducted in English.

(b) Upon either party’s request for arbitration, an arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties to hear the dispute in accordance with AAA rules. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, then either party may request that the AAA select an arbitrator and such arbitrator shall hear the dispute in accordance with AAA rules. For disputes amounting to US $1,000,000 or more, a panel of three arbitrators shall be selected to hear the dispute. In such case, each party shall select one arbitrator who shall be unaffiliated with such party, and the two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon a third arbitrator, the AAA will select the third arbitrator. In the case of a three-arbitrator panel, the decision of a majority shall control. If FIS requests arbitration, the arbitration shall be held in Boston Massachusetts. If Client requests arbitration, the arbitration shall be held in Jacksonville, FL.

(c) Each of the parties shall bear its own fees, costs and expenses of the arbitration and its own legal expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs of all experts and witnesses. Unless the award provides otherwise, the fees and expenses of the arbitration procedures, including the fees of the arbitrator or arbitrators, will be shared equally by the involved parties. At such time as the dispute is resolved, interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the prime rate plus 2% per annum as announced from time to time by the Bank of America or its successor or (ii) 12% (as calculated on the basis of the actual days in the applicable calendar year) for the period of dispute shall be paid to the party entitled to receive the disputed monies to compensate for the lapsed time between the date such disputed amount originally was to have been paid (or was paid) through the date monies are paid (or credited) in settlement of the dispute.

(d) Any award rendered pursuant to such arbitration shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties, and any judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

18.3 This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, governed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its rules governing choice of laws.

18.4 All notices given in connection with the Agreement must be in writing and delivered via overnight delivery. Notices shall be delivered to the address set forth in the Agreement. Notices to FIS shall include a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to the General Counsel at the same address. Telephone communications between FIS and Client and/or Customers may be monitored or recorded without further notice in order to maintain service quality.

18.5 FIS shall not be liable for any loss, damage or failure due to causes beyond its control, including strikes, riots, earthquakes, epidemics, terrorist actions, wars, fires, floods, weather, power failure, telecommunications outage, acts of God or other failures, interruptions or errors not directly caused by FIS (“Force Majeure Event”).

18.6 Neither Client nor FIS shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, delay or punitive damages whatsoever (including but not limited to, damages for loss of business profits or revenue, business interruption, loss of information, or other pecuniary loss), even if they have been advised of or should have been aware of the possibility of such damage.

18.7 Each party represents and warrants that it has full legal power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations without any additional consent or approval.

18.8 The Agreement (including these General Terms, all Addenda, and the pricing attachments) together with any attachments thereto, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter. All prior agreements, understandings and representations regarding the same or similar services are superseded in their entirety. In the event of a conflict, ambiguity or contradiction in documents, the documents will take precedence over each other in accordance with the following ranking: (i) SOWs; (ii) exhibits and attachments; (iii) Addenda; (iv) Specifications; and (v) these General Terms. The Agreement may only be modified by a written document signed by both parties. The parties do not intend, nor shall there be, any third party beneficiary rights.

18.9 No waiver of any provisions of the Agreement and no consent to any default under the Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or consent is claimed. No course of dealing or failure to strictly enforce any provision of the Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of such provision for any party’s rights. Waiver by a party of any default by the other party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other default.

18.10 If any provision of the Agreement is unenforceable in any respect under law, such enforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable provision had not been included to the extent necessary to bring it within the requirements of that law. This Agreement shall not be construed more strongly against either party, regardless of who is more responsible for its preparation. The headings that appear in these General Terms are inserted for convenience only and do not limit or extend its scope.

18.11 The Agreement shall remain in effect until the date on which the last Addendum in effect is terminated, provided, however, that termination of the Agreement or an Addendum shall not impact any right or obligation arising prior to termination, and in any event, Sections 8, 9, 10, and 11, as well as Subsection 18.2, of these General Terms shall survive termination of the Agreement.

18.12 The benefits and obligations of this Agreement shall only inure to the benefit of and/or be binding upon the parties hereto, and, for Client, its named subsidiaries, and for both parties, their permitted successors and permitted assigns. The parties do not intend, nor shall there be any third party beneficiary rights.

FIS shall attempt to notify Client prior to Client incurring such expense. However, FIS shall be responsible for any Data lost or damaged as a result of FIS’ negligence.

2.2 Except to the extent FIS has been engaged by Client to maintain Data for reconstruction, Client shall maintain a copy of all Data submitted to FIS (whether directly or through a third party) to permit reconstruction if ever required. Client assumes all risk and expense associated with Data reconstruction, except for those expenses incurred as a direct consequence of FIS’ material breach of its obligations to Client.

3. Responsibilities of the Parties.

3.1 Responsibilities of Client:

(a) Data Processing Premises. Client agrees to provide FIS with adequate premises, in good repair, to perform its responsibilities hereunder.

FIS is not responsible to Client for any injury or damage to tangible personal property or persons which occurs in or around the Data Center unless caused by FIS’s negligence or willful misconduct.

(ii) Cooperation. Client shall obtain all Required Consents. Upon Client’s request, FIS shall assist Client in obtaining the Required Consents. Once each such Required Consent has been obtained, Client shall provide a copy of it to FIS.

FIS will correct any Output errors caused by FIS that are identified within these time frames at no charge. FIS will attempt to correct all other Output errors at Client’s expense. Client’s sole remedy for an Output error is correction as described in this subsection.

(c) Resident Technical Staff. As of the Effective Date of this Addendum, FIS will provide nine (9) technical and analyst personnel. Four (4) operators, one operations supervisor, one (1) programmer, two (2) business analysts, and one (1) account manager) (collectively, the “Resident Staff”). Subject to a reasonable time for replacements in the event of resignations or terminations, FIS will maintain such staffing level throughout the Term of the Addendum. If Resident Staff is reduced for any period over 60 days, the monthly fee will be reduced on a per diem basis. Duties of the Resident Staff shall consist of installing and maintaining the HORIZON software, installing program updates, installing new systems and subsystems, programming, user interface, communication and customer service, systems programming, attending education classes, Customer meetings and research meetings. Client requested HORIZON program modifications and general programming duties will be provided by non-resident FIS personnel at the HORIZON Professional Services rate identified in the Core Processing Services Pricing Attachment if the Resident Staff is unable to perform such duties.

The Resident Staff will monitor any Client-requested projects, and FIS will provide Client with status updates periodically based on frequency that is at the discretion of Client. Client shall have the right to establish all programming and project priorities for the Resident Staff. However, changes in priorities which require reassignment of the Resident Staff to other responsibilities may result in an increase of the time required by FIS to complete certain tasks. At Client’s written request, FIS will increase (when and as resources are available) or decrease the Resident Staff, in accordance with the procedures described in Pricing Attachment.

During the Term of the Addendum, FIS and Client may mutually agree to increase or decrease the Resident Staff If Client decreases the Resident Staff, the Base Processing Fee will be reduced appropriately. Either FIS or Client may reduce the number of Resident Staff during the Term of the Addendum by providing no less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the other party. The parties acknowledge and agree that in order for FIS to provide the Services as they are described in this Addendum, a certain level of staffing is required. If Client requests a reduction in Resident Staff, and if FIS determines in good faith that such a reduction will negatively impact FIS’s ability to perform the Services in accordance with the terms of this Addendum, FIS will so notify Client and the parties will use all reasonable efforts to come to agreement on a staffing level that will enable FIS to provide the Services in accordance with this Addendum. If FIS and Client are unable to reach such an agreement, FIS reserves the right to adjust any Services or delivery timetables accordingly. When the parties have agreed upon a resource reduction, the monthly Base Processing Fee will be reduced by the monthly amount applicable to the eliminated resource(s). The amount of the reduction will be based on the position held by the eliminated resource and the average monthly cost of that position under this

Addendum. If Client eliminates a part of the Resident Staff, Client will pay any outplacement, termination and/or severance costs incurred by FIS for this type of resource which shall not, in any event, exceed six months of pay for that resource. FIS will promptly respond to Client’s request with a proposed fee schedule adjustment which shall be reasonable in light of the related costs of salaries, recruiting, relocation, severance, and employee benefits resulting from any such increase or decrease. Quotes for increases or decreases in the Resident Staff will be in minimum increments of one person for a minimum term of one year or for such other minimum increment or minimum term as may be agreed upon in writing between Client and FIS, such as part time or temporary increments for a specified time period. FIS will have up to 120 days to implement agreed changes in the Resident Staff.

4.5 Informal Resolution. If any problems are identified, the Managers will attempt to resolve any issues together. When both Managers agree that a problem has not been resolved and may lead to a dispute, the Managers will advise their respective managements and arrange a meeting between appropriate representatives of each party for the purpose of attempting to resolve the issue. If any such informal attempts to resolve the dispute prove to be unsuccessful, the parties may resort to the formal Dispute Resolution Procedure set forth below. Once any problem has been resolved, the Managers will prepare a joint written report and submit the report to their Management with a clear explanation of the problem, as well as the resolution.

The party against whom the claim is made shall respond, in writing, to the claim within 14 days from the date of receipt of the claim document. The party filing the claim shall have an additional 14 days after the receipt of the response to either accept the resolution offered by the other party or may, at its option and its sole and absolute discretion, choose to request implementation of the procedures set forth below (the “Escalation Procedures”). Neither party, however, shall have any obligation to elect to proceed with Escalation Procedures if it is dissatisfied with the response to the claim it has submitted.

(b) Escalation Procedures. If the negotiations conducted pursuant to the Claims Procedures set forth above do not lead to resolution of the underlying dispute or claim to the satisfaction of the party that made the claim, then that party may, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, notify the other in writing that it desires to elevate the dispute or claim to a higher level of authority within FIS’s organization and within Client’s organization for resolution. Upon receipt by the other party of such written notice, the dispute or claim shall be so elevated and such higher level authorities shall negotiate in good faith and each use their reasonable best efforts to resolve the dispute or claim. The location, format, frequency, duration and conclusion of these elevated discussions shall be left to the discretion of the representatives involved. Upon agreement, the representatives may utilize other alternative dispute resolution procedures to assist in the negotiations. Discussions and correspondence among the representatives for purposes of these negotiations shall be treated as confidential information developed for purposes of settlement which shall not be admissible in any subsequent proceedings between the parties.

The parties agree that timely and accurate submission of input and output is essential to satisfactory performance under this Agreement. FIS and Client confirm and acknowledge that the Performance Standards shall apply so long as Client upgrades its IBM System i CPU and other equipment as recommended by FIS from time to time.

Commencing on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Commencement Date, FIS shall perform the Services in a manner that meets or exceeds the Performance Standards. In the event any performance is suspected or deemed to be unacceptable, FIS shall research the cause, with Client’s reasonable assistance, and will take corrective action (where FIS is responsible) or recommend corrective action (where Client is responsible) and initiate action for correction as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with the Event Management and Notification timeframes set forth in Section 4 below.

The parties further acknowledge that if Client adds services to this Agreement, FIS will provide such additional services in the manner provided herein.

Compliance. Compliance with the Performance Standards will be determined on a monthly basis and FIS will provide reports and other necessary data for Client to monitor the Performance Standards on a monthly basis. Client will report errors in writing to FIS and FIS will keep accurate records relating to such errors. A failure of FIS to meet a Performance Standard shall be deemed to be an “Occurrence”. Multiple errors in a single transaction or event will be counted as a single Occurrence. When reasonably possible, Client must report incidents suspected to be Occurrences to FIS immediately upon becoming aware of the error.

Failure to Meet Performance Standards. In the event FIS does not meet the Performance Standards for any period, Client will inform FIS in writing and FIS will use every reasonable effort to remedy the cause of such performance standards not being met.

Availability Service Level Credit. In the event that FIS fails to meet the service level for On-Line Availability or Processing services addressed in the Performance Standards for a period of two (2) consecutive months, Client shall be entitled to receive a service credit in accordance with the following schedule, with the credit being calculated based on the monthly fees as regularly billed to Customer for the second consecutive month in which FIS failed to reach the required Service Level. Any such credit(s) shall be reflected on the next regular invoice submitted to Customer.


Online Availability Service Level	Credit

disruption of Client’s operations. Measurement of FIS’s actual performance under any performance standard will also exclude: (a) any matter beyond FIS’s reasonable control at the Rockland Trust HORIZON Data Center, including, but not limited to matters constituting force majeure; (b) failure by Customer’s or its third-party providers’ to perform under the Agreement; (c) special production jobs, testing procedures, or other services which are given priority Customer’s request; (d) failure of the data communications carrier lines between Customer and FIS; (e) unavailability of Customer’s systems because of problems with Customer’s local or wide area network or otherwise, including failure to have appropriate network redundant connectivity which adversely impacts FIS’s ability to fulfill a performance standard; (f) system, software or network unavailability due to maintenance, installation, upgrade or replacement of equipment or software performed by FIS or by a third party to the extent such unavailability occurred during a scheduled maintenance window or other times as agreed upon in advance by Customer; (g) temporary exclusions for performance standards requested by FIS and approved by Customer to implement a material change in applications, environments, conversions or software; (h) problems resulting from actions or inactions of Customer contrary to FIS’s reasonable recommendations during the period where Customer’s action or inaction may adversely affect FIS’s ability to meet a performance standard (ex. FIS recommends and Customer declines to upgrade Customer-provided equipment to accommodate increased Customer network traffic, etc.); (i) any non-routine transactions or services (including but not limited to acquisitions and conversions) requested by Customer unless included by mutual written agreement of FIS and Customer; (j) tasks that Customer prioritizes or reprioritizes which cause FIS to miss a performance standard and which FIS notified Customer would create a delay, regardless of whether or not Customer gave FIS notification of same; (k) processing which occurs at a FIS or Customer recovery facility as a result of a disaster; and (l) changes made to Customer’s information technology (“IT”) environment which: (i) were not communicated to FIS at least five (5) business days prior to such change (i.e., changes to Customer’s firewall, etc.) which adversely impact FIS’s ability to fulfill such service levels; (ii) have a relevant interface to FIS (i.e., installation of or updates to applications on the LAN, WAN or desktops, etc.) which adversely impact FIS’s ability to fulfill such performance standard(s); or (iii) impact connectivity and were not tested and approved for production use by FIS. If one (1) or more of the above situations occur which causes FIS to miss a performance standard, FIS shall not owe a Performance Standard credit to Customer.

2.	Services

The parties agree that extended business hours maybe required from time to time (including nights and weekends) and at such time FIS will make reasonable efforts to provide such on-line availability provided that the foregoing is not included in the calculation to determine whether FIS met the performance standards described herein.

On-Line Availability



Service Description		Access to host application systems through online channels and by Client users.

Prerequisites		All Client input required for processing received by times specified in the Input from Client Service Level Agreement set forth in Section 3 below.

Service Level		FIS shall maintain a monthly average of at least ninety-nine and one half percent (99.5%) for the On-line Availability Service Level Agreement set forth in Section 3 below.

Measurement		FIS will submit a monthly written report to Client with the results of the previous month performance once the history has been accumulated. The percentages used hereunder for EFT Online Authorization and HORIZON Middleware shall be calculated by dividing the number of hours that such availability was achieved by the actual number of hours in each month. HORIZON and HORIZON Teller Access will be calculated by dividing the number of hours that such availability is achieved by the number of hours scheduled to be available each month based on Monday-Friday hours of 6:30AM to 9:30PM and 24x7 on non-business days.

4.7 Client may use the Recovery Resources for a period of up to ten (10) consecutive weeks. Extended use of the Recovery Resources is available at FIS’ then current fees. An FIS representative will be present while Client personnel are occupying any Recovery Facility. Client personnel may have unescorted access to the Recovery Facility provided that FIS personnel have been notified of the presence of Client personnel in the Recovery Facility and FIS personnel are both present and accessible in the Recovery Facility. FIS shall maintain reasonable and uniform rules regarding security, safety, scheduling, operations and other procedures for accessing and using the Recovery Resources during Disasters and Recovery Exercises. These rules may appear in written documents provided by FIS to its clients from time to time. Both FIS and Client shall comply with these rules in all material respects and shall use all Recovery Resources in accordance with manufacturer specifications.

4.8 Horizon clients may select the optional FedLine service, which includes the hardware and communications devices to support connectivity to the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank. If selected, Client will execute an amendment to the agreement FIS has executed with the Federal Reserve. With this amendment in place, Client may direct FedLine activity to the Recovery Facility. Only ACH will be recovered by FedLine. Fees for FedLine services, if selected, will be set forth in the pricing attachment to the Prior Contract.

4.9 FIS shall provide Client with one (1) copy of FIS’ current user guide and other materials related to the Recovery Resources, and all applicable updates and revisions as and when issued. The typical medium for delivery of materials will be the Internet; however, FIS may provide material using any means it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, facsimile, mail, CD-ROM, or e-mail.

4.10 Notwithstanding the provisions for training in the General Terms, training is not currently included as part of the provision of the Service; however, FIS reserves the right to offer training to Client in the future at its then-current rates.

5. Disaster Recovery Exercise.

5.1 On an annual basis, FIS and Client shall engage in a recovery exercise intended to analyze the ability of the Recovery Resources and Client’s backup procedures to achieve the objectives mutually agreed upon by FIS and Client prior to commencement (“Recovery Exercises”). Within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, the parties shall schedule, but not necessarily perform, the first Recovery Exercise. Client shall be responsible for submitting a written request for each annual Recovery Exercise to FIS. FIS will schedule the Recovery Exercise on a date mutually agreed upon by FIS and Client. Client may cancel a scheduled Recovery Exercise with at least sixty (60) days advance written notice to FIS. Client will incur cancellation fees if proper notice is not received and acknowledged by FIS. Client shall use the same process for rescheduling a cancelled Recovery Exercise as is used for the initial scheduling of the Recovery Exercise.

		CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED

5.2 All Recovery Exercises shall be subject to immediate cancellation or termination, and shall be rescheduled as soon as possible, if and when any other FIS client declares a Disaster and requests use of the Recovery Resources that would have been used in the Recovery Exercise.

5.3 A Recovery Exercise consists of the number of hours of test time set forth in the pricing attachment to the Prior Contract; up to a maximum of eight (8) hours (“Exercise Period”). Each Exercise Period must be used within one (1) calendar day. Multiple Exercise Periods cannot be pooled into one day but may be taken on consecutive calendar days. Unused Exercise Periods cannot be held over to another year. Prior to each Recovery Exercise, FIS will restore Client files and libraries and configure all hardware in accordance with the Recovery Plan and any Client special instructions detailed therein. Time required to complete this preparatory activity will not be charged against the Exercise Period. During each Recovery Exercise, FIS will provide reasonable supplies and support to Client, and Client shall be responsible for all functionality testing. A Recovery Exercise shall conclude upon the expiration of the Exercise Period or when Client declares its conclusion as defined in the user guide, whichever comes first.

5.4 Additional Exercise Periods may be undertaken by FIS at FIS’ then current rates if: (i) Client-initiated unforeseen problems occur; (ii) there is a reasonable expectation of solution within the time extension; and (iii) the test does not impair any other FIS client’s scheduled access. If Client notifies FIS that a Recovery Exercise is completed, and Client asks FIS to recommence the Recovery Exercise, Client acknowledges FIS may not be able to accommodate this request and FIS shall not be responsible in any way if it is not able to so recommence a Recovery Exercise.

5.5 Additional support is available at FIS’ then current rates. Client shall contact FIS through the FIS representative assigned to the Recovery Exercise for additional technical planning and problem solving. In the event Client requests support through any other person, Client will incur additional support charges at FIS’ then-current rates.

5.6 FIS or Client will remove all Data from the Recovery Resources after a Recovery Exercise or a Disaster recovery operation.

6. Multiple Disasters.

6.1 If FIS is considering an agreement with a new client and if entering into that agreement might result in a perceived exposure due to a geographic concentration or client size, FIS will perform an analysis of such exposure for review by FIS management prior to execution of that agreement. FIS will not enter into an agreement with a new client if the Recovery Resources are insufficient to accommodate additional clients unless FIS effectuates secondary backup procedures.

6.2 In the event more than one FIS client declares a disaster (“Multiple Disasters”), more than one FIS client may be granted access to the Recovery Resources (“Multiple Clients”). FIS shall grant its Multiple Clients comparable rights to the Recovery Resources and provide access to additional recovery resources to the extent practicable. FIS shall develop and implement an appropriate plan for sharing and allocating the affected Recovery Resources among the Multiple Clients, in a manner reasonably determined by FIS. If the Multiple Clients unanimously agree upon their own plan to allocate the Recovery Resources, then FIS will implement that plan to the extent practicable. Client shall cooperate with FIS in its development and implementation of a plan for allocating and sharing Recovery Resources among Multiple Clients. Client acknowledges and agrees that neither FIS nor the Multiple Clients shall be liable for any Loss directly or indirectly resulting from the shared use of the Recovery Facility and related services in the event of a Multiple Disaster.

7. Timeframes and Hours of Operation. Upon declaration of a Disaster by Client, the Service will be available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week; provided, however, that FIS reserves the right to suspend availability of the Service for the purpose of required maintenance or updating the System. FIS will attempt to provide Client with at least seventy- two (72) hours’ notice of FIS’ maintenance on the System. During a Disaster, upon Client’s request and at FIS’ then-current rates, FIS shall also assist Client in contacting vendors and in obtaining and installing additional or replacement equipment.

8. Termination. FIS shall provide ninety (90) days written notice to Client prior to making any material change to the equipment configuration set forth in Section 4.3. If such change would render the Recovery Resources ineffectual and the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable solution (including price and configuration) within sixty (60) days of Client’s receipt of such notice, Client may terminate this Addendum at the expiration of the ninety (90) day period upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to FIS. In addition to the termination rights set forth in the General Terms, FIS may terminate this Addendum if Client fails to cure any material violation of applicable Law within thirty (30) days of FIS requesting it to do so.

9. Fees.

9.1 Client shall pay FIS the current adjusted fees in the pricing attachment. Declaration Fees shall be paid by Client upon declaration of a disaster. Usage Fees shall be billed upon the earlier of completion of usage of the Recovery Resources or monthly, if Client uses the Recovery Resources longer than six (6) weeks. All other fees shall be settled or paid in accordance with the General Terms. In the event FIS is unable to collect fees via electronic transfer from the Settlement Account, Client shall pay the fees directly to FIS in accordance with the General Terms, along with a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) non-ACH processing fee.

9.2 Client hereby agrees that any additional FIS resource utilized by Client that is a chargeable item and not set forth in this Addendum or the pricing attachment to the Prior Contract shall be charged to Client at FIS’ then-current rates.

9.3 Annually, prior to the anniversary month of the Effective Date, Client’s account volumes will be measured. All open accounts, including but not limited to deposit, loan, general ledger, safe deposit box, and stockholder system accounts, will be summed in all production banks the Client operates. The portion of the monthly fees associated with account volume will then be adjusted accordingly. In addition, based on each annual Disaster Recovery Exercise, FIS will evaluate bank changes (i.e. file storage volumes) that may affect its ability to meet the recovery time objective in Section 4.2 above. FIS and Client mutually agree to either lengthen the recovery time objective or adjust the monthly fee for the Service to meet the objective if bank changes so require.

3.1 FIS is responsible for maintaining the Equipment in good order, condition and repair and is responsible for any damage, depreciation, repair or replacement (in the event of damage, but not replacement due to obsolescence) of the Equipment, as well as the installation of any maintenance and upgrades to the IBM software. FIS and Client will evaluate hardware capacity on an annual basis at a cost included in the Base Processing Fees described in Exhibit A to the Core Processing Addendum. Any hardware upgrades or additional equipment will be mutually agreed upon, with agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by either party.

3.2 FIS agrees, warrants, and represents that the computer equipment supplied and installed at the Data Center, whether pursuant to this agreement or otherwise, shall be operated by FIS solely for the benefit for Client and to process Client’s data, and will not be used to process any data for any third parties whatsoever. The processing of data by FIS for any third parties using the equipment provided for in this Agreement will be considered a default by FIS under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, subject to the remedies of termination described elsewhere in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall prevent FIS and Client from entering into a mutually agreed-upon “revenue sharing agreement” for the processing of data for third parties; however, any such agreement shall be in writing and deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement.

3.3 FIS shall indemnify and hold Client harmless from all risk of loss associated with the equipment identified in the Equipment Configuration and any additional equipment owned or leased by FIS that FIS may add to the Data Center in the future. FIS, however, will satisfy its indemnity obligation with respect to the Equipment by maintaining the insurance coverage set forth in the General Terms.

3.5 Special Equipment Use. Client may use any FIS equipment which is available in the Data Center, without additional charge, for the exclusive purpose of performing non-repetitive services or for use by Client with regard to audit or other customary and routine audit examination functions, provided that the use of FIS’s equipment does not materially interfere with FIS’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

With respect to equipment leased by FIS, FIS will allow (if and to the extent permitted by the underlying lease) Client to sublease such equipment from FIS on the exact terms, conditions and costs of the lease then in effect. In addition, upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, as the case may be, Client may purchase all but not less than all of the equipment owned by FIS and used in the Data Center, at a price equal to the sum of such equipment’s net book value or market value, whichever is greater. Such equipment will not be depreciated over more than a five-year period. The initial equipment configuration is shown in Section 2 of this Addendum. Such offer will be made by FIS at least 90 days, and be accepted or rejected by Client at least 60 days, prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Client may, at its option, negotiate directly with any of the owners of any leased equipment, to establish its direct contractual relationship for any such equipment, and Client agrees to act promptly in this regard. FIS acknowledges and agrees that if Client has paid in full the purchase price for any hardware as of the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, then Client will be the owner of such Client-purchased hardware and will not be required to make any payment to FIS for such hardware.

All furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies must comply with all applicable regulations. Information about applicable regulations currently in effect can be found at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s website, www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.

NOTICES TO FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION:

OBLIGATIONS OF FURNISHERS UNDER THE FCRA

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681y, imposes responsibilities on all persons who furnish information to consumer reporting agencies (CRAs). These responsibilities are found in Section 623 of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2. State law may impose additional requirements on furnishers. All furnishers of information to CRAs should become familiar with the applicable laws and may want to consult with their counsel to ensure that they are in compliance. The text of the FCRA is available at the website of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection’s (CFPB): website www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore. A list of sections of the FCRA cross-referenced to the U.S. Code is at the end of this document.

Section 623 imposes the following duties upon furnishers:

Accuracy Guidelines

The FCRA requires furnishers to comply with federal guidelines and regulations dealing with the accuracy of information provided to CRAs by furnishers. Federal regulations and guidelines are available at www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore. Section 623(e).

General Prohibition on Reporting Inaccurate Information:

The FCRA prohibits information furnishers from providing information to a CRA that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. However, the furnisher is not subject to this general prohibition if it clearly and conspicuously specifies an address to which consumers may write to notify the furnisher that certain information is inaccurate. Sections 623(a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(C).

Duty to Correct and Update Information:

If at any time a person who regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to one or more CRAs determines that the information provided is not complete or accurate, the furnisher must provide complete and accurate information to the CRA. In addition, the furnisher must notify all CRAs that received the information of any corrections, and must thereafter report only the complete and accurate information. Section 623(a)(2).

Duties After Notice of Dispute from Consumer:

If a consumer notifies a furnisher, at an address specified by the furnisher for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate, and the information is in fact inaccurate, the furnisher must thereafter report the correct information to CRAs. Section 623(a)(1)(B).

If a consumer notifies a furnisher that the consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of any information reported by the furnisher, the furnisher may not subsequently report that information to a CRA without providing notice of the dispute. Section 623(a)(3).

Furnisher must comply with federal regulations that identify when an information furnisher must investigate a dispute made directly to the furnisher by a consumer. Under these, furnishers must complete an investigation within 30 days (or 45 days, if the consumer later provides relevant additional information) unless the dispute is frivolous or irrelevant or comes from a “credit repair organization.” Federal regulations are available at www.consumerfinance.gov. Section 623(a)(8).

Duties After Notice of Dispute from Consumer Reporting Agency:

If a CRA notifies a furnisher that a consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of information provided by the furnisher, the furnisher has a duty to follow certain procedures. The furnisher must:

•

Conduct an investigation and review all relevant information provided by the CRA, including information given to the CRA by the consumer. Sections 623(b)(1)(A) and (b)(1)(B).


EID: 2685	PLID: 248707
		Prepared for: Independent Bank Corp.	Page 41


		CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED

•

Report the results to the CRA that referred the dispute, and, if the investigation establishes that the information was, in fact, incomplete or inaccurate, report the results to all CRAs to which the furnisher provided the information that compile and maintain files on a nationwide basis. Sections 623(b)(1)(C) and (b)(1)(D).

•

Complete the above within 30 days from the date the CRA receives the dispute (or 45 days, if the consumer later provides relevant additional information to the CRA). Section 623(b)(2).

•

Promptly modify or delete information, or block its reporting. Section 623(b)(1)(E).

Duty to Report Voluntary Closing of Credit Accounts:

If a consumer voluntarily closes a credit account, any person who regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to one or more CRAs must report this fact when it provides information to CRAs for the time period in which the account was closed. Section 623(a)(4).

Duty to Report Dates of Delinquencies:

If a furnisher reports information concerning a delinquent account placed for collection, charged to profit or loss, or subject to any similar action, the furnisher must, within 90 days after reporting the information, provide the CRA with the month and the year of the commencement of the delinquency that immediately preceded the action, so that the agency will know how long to keep the information in the consumer’s file. Section 623(a)(5).

Any person, such as a debt collector, that has acquired or is responsible for collecting delinquent accounts and that reports information to CRAs may comply with the requirements of Section 623(a)(5) (until there is a consumer dispute) by reporting the same delinquency date previously reported by the credit. If the credit did not report this date, they may comply with the FCRA by establishing reasonable procedures to obtain and report delinquency dates, or, if a delinquency date cannot be reasonable obtained, by following reasonable procedures to ensure that the date reported precedes the date when the account was placed for collection, charges to profit or loss, or subjected to any similar action. Section 623(a)(5).

Duties of Financial Institutions When Reporting Negative Information

Financial Institutions that furnish information to “nationwide” consumer reporting agencies, as defined in Section 603(p), must notify consumers in writing if they may furnish or have furnished negative information to a CRA. Section 623(a)(7). The CFPB has prescribed model disclosures, 12 CFR Part 1022, App. B.

Duties When Furnishing Medical Information

A furnisher whose primary business is providing medical services, products or devices (and such furnisher’s agents or assignees) is a medical information furnisher for the purposes of the FCRA and must notify all CRAs to which it reports of this fact. Section 623(a)(9). This notice will enable CRAs to comply with their duties under Section 604(g) when reporting medical information.

Duties When ID Theft Occurs

All furnishers must have in place reasonable procedures to respond to notifications from CRAs that information furnished is the result of identity theft, and to prevent refurnishing the information in the future. A furnisher may not furnish information that a consumer has identified as resulting from identity theft unless the furnisher subsequently knows or is informed by the consumer that the information is correct. Section 623(a)(6). If a furnisher learns that it has furnished inaccurate information due to identity theft, it must notify each CRA of the correct information and must thereafter report only complete and accurate information. Section 623(a)(2). When any furnisher of information is notified pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 605B that a debt has resulted from identity theft, the furnisher may not sell, transfer, or place for collection the debt except in certain limited circumstances. Section 615(f).

NOTICE TO USER OF CONSUMER REPORTS:

OBLIGATIONS OF USERS UNDER THE FCRA

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C 1681-1681y requires that this notice be provided to inform users of consumer reports of their legal obligations. State law may impose additional requirements. The text of the FCRA is set forth in full at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) website at www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore. At the end of this document is list of United States Code citations of the FCRA. Other information about user duties is also available at the Bureau’s website. Users must consult the relevant provisions of the FCRA for details about their obligations under the FCRA.

This first section of this summary sets forth the responsibilities imposed by the FCRA on all users of consumer reports. The subsequent sections discuss the duties of users of reports that contain specific types of information, or that are used for certain purposes, and the legal consequences of violations. If you are a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency (CRA), you have additional obligations and will receive a separate notice from the CRA describing your duties as a furnisher.

I. OBLIGATIONS OF ALL USERS OF CONSUMER REPORTS

Users Must Have a Permissible Purpose

Congress has limited the use of consumer reports to protect consumer’s privacy. All users must have a permissible purpose under the FCRA to obtain a consumer report. Section 604 contains a list of the permissible purposes under the law. These are:

•

As ordered by a court or a federal grand jury subpoena. Section 604(a)(1)

•

As instructed by the consumer in writing. Section 604(a)(2)

•

For the extension of credit as a result of an application from a consumer, or the review or collection of a consumer’s account. Section 604(a)(3)(A)

•

For employment purposes, including hiring and promotion decisions, where the consumer has given written permission. Sections 604(a)(3)(B) and 604(b)

•

For the underwriting of insurance as a result of an application from a consumer. Section 604(a)(3)(C)

•

When there is a legitimate business need, in connection with a business transaction that is initiated by the consumer. Section 604(a)(3)(F)(i)

•

To review a consumer’s account to determine whether the consumer continues to meet the terms of the account. Section 604(a)(3)(F)(ii)

•

To determine a consumer’s eligibility for a license or other benefit granted by a governmental instrumentality required by law to consider an applicant’s financial responsibility or status. Section 604(a)(3)(D)

•

For use by a potential investor or servicer, or current insurer, in a valuation or assessment of the credit or prepayment risks associated with an existing credit obligation. Section 604(a)(3)(E)

•

For use by state and local officials in connection with the determination of child support payments, or modifications and enforcement thereof. Sections 604(a)(4) and 604(a)(5)

In addition, creditors and insurers may obtain certain consumer report information for the purpose of making “prescreened” unsolicited offers of credit or insurance. Section 604(c). The particular obligations of users of this “prescreened” information are described in Section VII below.


EID: 2685	PLID: 248707
		Prepared for: Independent Bank Corp.	Page 44


		CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED

Users Must Provide Certifications

Section 604(f) prohibits any person from obtaining a consumer report from a consumer reporting agency (CRA) unless the person has certified to the CRA the permissible purpose(s) for which the report is being obtained and certifies that the report will not be used for any other purpose.

Users Must Notify Consumers When Adverse Actions Are Taken

The term “adverse action” is defined very broadly by Section 603. “Adverse actions” include all business, credit, and employment actions affecting consumers that can be considered to have a negative impact as described by Section 603(k) of the FCRA — such as denying or canceling credit or insurance, or denying employment or promotion. No adverse action occurs in a credit transaction where the creditor makes a counteroffer that is accepted by the consumer.

1. Adverse Actions Based on Information Obtained from a CRA

If a user takes any type of adverse action as defined by the FCRA that is based at least in part on information contained in a consumer report, Section 615(a) of the FCRA requires the user to notify the consumer. The notification may be done in writing, orally, or by electronic means. It must include the following:

•

The name, address, and telephone number of the CRA (including a toll-free telephone number, if it is a nationwide CRA) that provided the report.

•

A statement that the CRA did not make the adverse decision and is not able to explain why the decision was made.

•

A statement setting forth the consumer’s right to obtain a free disclosure of the consumer’s file from the CRA if the consumer requests the report within 60 days.

•

A statement setting forth the consumer’s right to dispute directly with the CRA the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the CRA.

2. Adverse Actions Based on Information Obtained From Third Parties Who Are Not Consumer Reporting Agencies

If a person denies (or increases the charge for) credit for personal, family, or household purposes based either wholly or partly upon information from a person other than a CRA, and the information is the type of consumer information covered by the FCRA, Section 615(b)(1) requires that the user clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer his or her right to be told of the nature of the information that was relied upon if the consumer makes a written request within 60 days of notification. The user must provide the disclosure within a reasonable period of time following the consumer’s written request.

3. Adverse Actions Based on Information Obtained From Affiliates

If a person takes an adverse action involving insurance, employment, or a credit transaction initiated by the consumer, based on information of the type covered by the FCRA, and this information was obtained from an entity affiliated with the user of the information by common ownership or control, Section 615(b)(2) requires the user to notify the consumer of the adverse action. The notice must inform the consumer that he or she may obtain a disclosure of the nature of the information relied upon by making a written request within 60 days of receiving the adverse action notice. If the consumer makes such a request, the user must disclose the nature of the information not later than 30 days after receiving the request. If consumer report information is shared among affiliates and then used for an adverse action, the user must make an adverse action disclosure as set forth in I.C.1 above.

Users Have Obligations When Fraud and Active Duty Military Alerts are in Files

When a consumer has placed a fraud alert, including one relating to identity theft, or an active duty military alert with a nationwide consumer reporting agency as defined in Section 603(p) and resellers, Section 605A(h) imposed limitations on users of reports obtained from the consumer reporting agency in certain circumstances, including the establishment of a new credit plan and the issuance of additional credit cards. For initial fraud alerts and active duty alerts, the user must have reasonable policies and procedures in place to form a belief that the user knows the identity of the applicant or contact the consumer at a telephone number specified by the consumer; in the case of extended fraud alerts, the user must contact the consumer in accordance with the contact information provided in the consumer’s alert.


EID: 2685	PLID: 248707
		Prepared for: Independent Bank Corp.	Page 45


		CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED

Users Have Obligations When Notified of an Address Discrepancy

Section 605(h) requires nationwide CRAs, as defined in Section 603(p), to notify users that request reports when the address for a consumer provided by the user in requesting the report is substantially different from the addresses in the consumer’s file. When this occurs, users must comply with regulations specifying the procedures to be followed. Federal regulations are available at www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore.

Users Have Obligations When Disposing of Records

Section 628 requires that all users of consumer report information have in place procedures to properly dispose of records containing this information. Federal regulations have been issued that cover disposal.

II. CREDITORS MUST MAKE ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES

If a person uses a consumer report in connection with an application for, or a grant, extension, or provision of, credit to a consumer or material terms that materially less favorable than the most favorable terms available to a substantial proportion of consumers from or through that person, based in whole or in part on a consumer report, the person must provide a risk-based pricing notice to the consumer in accordance with regulations prescribed by the CFPB.

Section 609(g) requires a disclosure by all persons that make or arrange loans secured by residential real property (one to four units) and that use credit scores. These persons must provide credit scores and other information about credit scores to applicants, including the disclosure set forth in Section 609(g)(1)(D) (“Notice to the Home Loan Applicant”).

III. OBLIGATIONS OF USERS WHEN CONSUMER REPORTS ARE OBTAINED FOR EMPLOYMENT PURPOSES

Employment Other Than in the Trucking Industry

If information from a CRA is used for employment purposes, the user has specific duties, which are set forth in Section 604(b) of the FCRA. The user must:

•

Make a clear and conspicuous written disclosure to the consumer before the report is obtained, in a document that consists solely of the disclosure that a consumer report may be obtained.

•

Obtain from the consumer prior written authorization. Authorization to access reports during the term of employment may be obtained at the time of employment.

•

Certify to the CRA that the above steps have been followed, that the information being obtained will not be used in violation of any federal or state equal opportunity law or regulation, and that, if any adverse action is to be taken based on the consumer report, a copy of the report and a summary of the consumer’s rights will be provided to the consumer.

•

Before taking an adverse action the user must, provide a copy of the report to the consumer as well as the summary of the consumer’s rights. (The user should receive this summary from the CRA.) A Section 615(a) adverse action notice should be sent after the adverse action is taken.

An adverse action notice also is required in employment situations if credit information (other than transactions and experience data) obtained from an affiliate is used to deny employment. Section 615(b)(2).

The procedures for investigative consumer reports and employee misconduct is set forth below.

Employment in the Trucking Industry

Special rules apply for truck drivers where the only interaction between the consumer and the potential employer is mail, telephone, or computer. In this case, the consumer may provide consent orally or electronically, and an adverse action may be made orally, in writing, or electronically. The consumer may obtain a copy of any report relied upon by the trucking company by contacting the company.

		CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED

IV. OBLIGATIONS WHEN INVESTIGATIVE CONSUMER REPORTS ARE USED

Investigative consumer reports are a special type of consumer report in which information about a consumer’s character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living is obtained through personal interviews by an entity or person that is a consumer reporting agency. Consumers who are the subjects of such reports are given special rights under the FCRA. If a user intends to obtain an investigative consumer report, Section 606 requires the following:

•

The user must disclose to the consumer that an investigative consumer report may be obtained. This must be done in a written disclosure that is mailed, or otherwise delivered, to the consumer not later than three days after the date on which the report was first requested. The disclosure must include a statement informing the consumer of his or her right to request additional disclosures of the nature and scope of the investigation as described below, and must include the summary of consumer rights required by Section 609 of the FCRA. (The summary of consumer rights will be provided by the CRA that conducts the investigation.)

•

The user must certify to the CRA that the disclosures set forth above have been made and that the user will make the disclosure described below.

•

Upon the written request of a consumer made within a reasonable period of time after the disclosures required above, the user must make a complete disclosure of the nature and scope of the investigation. This must be made in a written statement that is mailed, or otherwise delivered, to the consumer no later than five days after the date on which the request was received from the consumer or the report was first requested, whichever is later in time.

V. SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR EMPLOYEE INVESTIGATIONS

Section 603(x) provides special procedures for investigations of suspected misconduct by an employee or for compliance with Federal, state or local laws and regulations or the rules of a self-regulatory organization, and compliance with written polices of the employer. These investigations are not treated as consumer reports so long as the employer or its agent complies with the procedures set forth in 603(x), and a summary describing the nature and scope of the inquiry is made to the employee if an adverse action is taken based on the investigation.

VI. OBLIGATIONS OF USERS OF MEDICAL INFORMATION

Section 604(g) limits the use medical information obtained from consumer reporting agencies (other than payment information that appears in a coded form that does not identify the medical provider). If the information is to be used for insurance transaction, the consumer must give consent to the user of the report or the information must be coded. If the report is to be used for employment purposes – or in connection with a credit transaction (except as provided in federal regulations) – the consumer must provide specific written consent and the medical information must be relevant. Any user who receives medical information shall not disclose the information to any other person (except where necessary to carry out the purpose for which the information was disclosed, or as permitted by statue, regulation, or order).

VII. OBLIGATIONS OF USERS OF “PRESCREENED” LISTS

The FCRA permits creditors and insurers to obtain limited consumer report information for use in connection with unsolicited offers of credit or insurance under certain circumstances. Sections 603(l), 604(c), 604(e), and 615(d). This practice is known as “prescreening” and typically involves obtaining from a CRA a list of consumers who meet certain pre-established criteria. If any person intends to use prescreened lists, that person must (1) before the offer is made, establish the criteria that will be relied upon to make the offer and to grant credit or insurance, and (2) maintain such criteria on file for a three-year period beginning on the date on which the offer is made to each consumer. In addition, any user must provide with each written solicitation a clear and conspicuous statement that:

•

Information contained in a consumer’s CRA file was used in connection with the transaction.


EID: 2685	PLID: 248707
		Prepared for: Independent Bank Corp.	Page 47


		CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED

•

The consumer received the offer because he or she satisfied the criteria for credit worthiness or insurability used to screen for the offer.

•

Credit or insurance may not be extended if, after the consumer responds, it is determined that the consumer does not meet the criteria used for screening or any applicable criteria bearing on creditworthiness or insurability, or the consumer does not furnish required collateral.

•

EXHIBIT A

1. SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS. The service level standards (“Service Level Standards”) contained herein describe the criteria for monitoring the performance and availability of FIS’s Commercial Capture Xpress (CCX) system. For purposes of this Exhibit, all references to “Support Services” shall be deemed to be part of the Services referenced in this Exhibit. All references herein to CCX and its related software and hardware are collectively referred to as the “System”. For purposes hereof, a failure to meet a Service Level Standard shall be deemed to be an “Occurrence”. Measurement of Service Level Standards will begin on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date the System is first used by an End User of Client to deposit “live” checks. Client will report incidents of non-compliance to FIS and FIS will keep accurate records relating to such compliance. When reasonably possible, Client will report incidents suspected to be Occurrences to FIS within seventy-two (72) hours of the incident.

1.1 Overview of Incident Priorities. The severity of a System problem or outage shall be prioritized as follows:


Priority	Description/Category of Problem

1	•	A. A critical problem that adversely impacts the functionality of the System and inhibits productive use of the System by Client or by a majority of End Users of Client. This includes an outage of any CCX software module as each such module is considered a subset of the System. For example, if the Approval Module cannot be used by all or a majority of Client’s End Users.

	•	B. System-wide outages due to FIS’s server issues.

	•	C. System-wide connectivity issues within FIS’s control.

	•	D. Inability of Client or a majority of End Users to do any of the following: a) create a batch; b) scan checks; or c) approve a batch.

	•	E. Systemic scanner issues (which impact most or all End Users’ ability to scan and/or view images), excluding scanner hardware failures.

2	•	A. A significant problem that impacts the functionality of the System, but does not inhibit productive use of the System.

	•	B. Non-systemic scanner issues, excluding scanner hardware failures.

	•	C. End User-specific connectivity issues within FIS’s control.

3	An inconvenient problem that does not impact the functionality or productive use of the System.

1.2 Response. FIS will respond and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve problems in accordance with their priority as established above, pursuant to the target table set below:


PRIORITY	CORRECTION START TIME WITHIN:	CORRECTION PROGRESS • (FREQUENCY OF STATUS REPORTS)	TARGET COMPLETION TIME

1	1 hour	Every 2 to 4 hours	8 hours

2	24 hours	Every 8 to 12 hours	3 business days

3	3 business days	Weekly	21 business days

1.2.1 “Correction Start Time” shall mean the time from initial contact to when a support or technical resource begins to investigate the incident or problem.

1.2.2 “Correction Progress” shall mean update or status reports provided to Client between 8 AM and 5 PM Central Time with the status of the problem and corrective action being undertaken. Correction Progress reports can be verbal or written, the timing of which will be based on the priority and frequency set forth above.

1.2.3 “Target Completion Time” shall mean the targeted time when System problems may be corrected by a permanent fix or a workaround. If a workaround, there may still be additional action steps to follow for a permanent fix. Correction completion time will be deemed to have occurred if a workaround has been provided by FIS, so long as FIS continues to work on a permanent fix.

ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER SERVICES ADDENDUM NORCROSS

1. Introduction. INDEPENDENT BANK CORP. Rockland, MA (“Client”) engages FIS to provide the authorization, processing and settlement services and gateway and network services indicated in the pricing attachment (“Service(s)”) for debit card transactions (“Transactions”) that are initiated by customers of other financial institutions at Client’s automated teller machine terminals (“ATM”), Client’s customers (“Cardholders” or “Customers”) at Client’s ATMs (“On-Us ATM Transaction”) or another entity’s ATMs (“Foreign ATM Transaction”), Cardholders at a merchant point-of-sale (“POS”) (such ATM and POS transactions are collectively referred to as “Transactions”). The Services include, but are not limited to, routing and processing Transactions through FIS’s system (“System”) for clearing and settlement through electronic funds transfer network(s) (“EFT Network(s)”) owned by third parties such as VISA, MasterCard and Discover (“Association(s)”). The particular Cardholder accounts (“Accounts”) for which Transactions are to be processed in accordance with this Electronic Funds Transfer Services Addendum (“Addendum”) shall be identified by Client during the implementation process, and subsequently updated by Client from time to time during the term. “Card”, as used in this Addendum, means a plastic card or other access device issued by a financial institution for use at an ATM and/or a POS. This Addendum is a part of the Information Technology Services Agreement described on the Order Form to which this Addendum is attached (“Agreement”), and capitalized words not otherwise defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. The General Terms apply to the Services provided pursuant to this Addendum.

2. Services.

2.1 FIS agrees to provide the Services to Client in accordance with the terms of this Addendum and the Specifications. FIS will receive requests for authorization (approval or decline) of Transactions from the EFT Networks. FIS shall approve or decline Transactions in response to such authorization requests upon Client’s instructions provided pursuant to one of the following methods: (i) a positive balance file provided by Client from which FIS will maintain a record of certain balance information and authorization limits for each Card, which is updated on a frequency defined by Client (usually daily) through a file transmission; (ii) a host to host authorization interface between the System and Client’s system, which provides for the routing of Foreign ATM Transaction requests at Client’s ATMs to the appropriate EFT Network for disposition as well as the routing of Foreign ATM Transactions to Client’s system for authorization; or (iii) a parameter file provided by Client which FIS will maintain and FIS will authorize Transactions based on limits defined by Client for a specified period of time. Regardless of the option chosen by Client, (i), (ii) or (iii), FIS will provide Client with a daily data file of Transactions that have been authorized (approved) in ACH format and the appropriate settlement reports.

2.2 Except as otherwise agreed to in this Addendum or in the Technical Support Levels attached hereto, FIS shall follow procedures and time schedules it deems appropriate to timely perform the Service. FIS may establish, modify or substitute equipment, processing priorities, programs or procedures as reasonably necessary to accommodate processing demand for the System.

2.3 Client will provide FIS upon request any and all Data, instructions and materials (“Client Materials”) from time to time during the term of this Addendum as is required for FIS to perform the Service. Client will be solely responsible for creating, managing, reviewing and otherwise controlling Client Materials and, apart from the express obligations of FIS set out in this Addendum or the General Terms, shall be responsible for complying with any and all applicable laws, regulations and rules applicable to the use, and the method and manner of disclosure, thereof. Client agrees that FIS may store, disclose, and use the Client Materials provided to FIS by Client under this Addendum to the extent and only in such manner that such storage, disclosure, and use shall be for purposes of performing the obligations of FIS under this Addendum or for purposes permitted under federal, state, or local statutes, regulations, and requirements applicable to FIS.

2.4 FIS will prepare and electronically transmit documents, reports, statements and other output described in the Specifications (collectively, “Output”). Client may request an alternative delivery method and if mutually agreed by the parties in writing, FIS will deliver Output by the agreed upon delivery method and Client shall pay any associated fees. Client must: (i) review, verify and audit all Output; and (ii) balance all reports to verify accuracy. Client must reject incorrect Output: (a) within two (2) business days of receiving daily Output; (b) within five (5) business days of receiving annual, quarterly or monthly Output; and (c) within three (3) business days after receiving all other Output. FIS will correct any Output errors caused by FIS identified within these time frames at no charge. FIS will attempt to correct all other Output errors at Client’s expense. Client’s sole remedy for an Output error is correction as described in this Subsection.

2.5 Client shall: (i) implement any patches, upgrades, enhancements or other safeguards necessary to protect the security and accuracy of Data and other input Client provides to FIS in connection with the Service; (ii) comply with all operating instructions provided by FIS from time to time, including those set forth in the Specifications, pertaining to the Service; (iii) provide any and all custom forms that it requires at its sole expense, subject to FIS’s reasonable approval of design and format; (iv) cooperate with FIS in the performance of the Service; (v) provide FIS with information, management decisions, regulatory interpretations and policy guidelines from time to time as are reasonably necessary for FIS to perform the Service; (vi) be responsible for all communication with and for the content of any instructions or other information given to its Customers, merchants and/or agents by Client and for the actions of such agents; (vii) notify FIS of any out-of-balance condition that Client believes to be, or reasonably should have believed to have been, caused by a failure of the Services, by midnight of the third (3rd) business day immediately following the day of Client’s receipt of the related information (any failure of Client to notify FIS of any out-of-balance condition within such time period waives Client’s right to an available adjustment). In the event of transactions exceeding the limit applicable to a Cardholder’s Card, caused by a party other than FIS, Client shall be liable for any Transaction responsible for such overdraft or negative balance.

2.6 Client shall maintain account(s) with such financial institutions as may be required for Association sponsorship and will maintain such balances as may be required for the settlement of transaction activity, authorized adjustments, and any other financial obligations related to or arising out of the Service. Client may choose to fund its settlements in one of the following ways, or such other way as may be mutually agreed to by the parties: (i) Client may elect to have FIS perform Net Settlement (as defined below) on its behalf using FIS’s own funds, and FIS will reimburse itself the following day from the Settlement Account; or (ii) Client shall maintain an amount sufficient to enable FIS to settle transactions, charges, and reimbursements related to or arising out of the Transactions processed hereunder, as determined by FIS, at its sole discretion, in the Settlement Account. “Net Settlement” means the total amount of Transactions processed less credits and incoming interchange. If Client elects to fund settlement pursuant to Subsection (i), FIS will assess a monthly charge to Client to reimburse FIS for its variable cost of funds. The amount of such monthly charge may be reset by FIS, at its sole discretion, on the first day of each month. If Client elects to fund settlement pursuant to Subsection (ii), Client guarantees the availability at all times of sufficient funds in the Settlement Account and agrees that FIS shall at all times have access to such funds to conduct settlement hereunder. Client shall be responsible for any overdraft fees should the Settlement Account be overdrawn. FIS, through the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”), or through wire transfer, at the expense of Client, shall have the right to transfer debit and credit funds from the Settlement Account for the purposes set forth in this Addendum.

2.7 Client shall be responsible, at its sole expense, for providing access for and establishing and maintaining connectivity (dial-up, leased line or other method) for its ATMs, POS terminals or other devices that accept debit or credit cards for payment purposes at which Transactions processed by FIS originate. Client agrees to maintain its ATM configuration, connectivity and network in accordance with the Specifications and such other standards required by FIS in writing from time to time. If Client does not maintain such standards, FIS reserves the right to pass through any and all resulting charges to Client.

2.8 Client shall be responsible for timely resolving all errors or disputes and for providing any and all notifications that are required to Customers and persons accessing or using Client’s ATMs, in each case in accordance with applicable Law and the Operating Rules (as defined below), including, but not limited to, complying with applicable error to dispute resolution timeframes. Client will handle monetary entries to its Customer’s accounts and will establish and maintain a general ledger account for this purpose. FIS will serve only in an advisory capacity on error and dispute resolution, provided, however, that if Client retains FIS to perform error or dispute resolution services, then: (i) Client shall promptly forward dispute claims to FIS, but no later than with fifteen (15) days of Client’s receipt, or such other timeframe as may be agreed to in writing by the parties; (ii) FIS shall review such claims for adjustment eligibility and process all such eligible claims; (iii) FIS shall obtain draft copies, enter adjustments, and make appropriate entries to the Settlement Account or such other account as designated by Client; (iv) FIS shall work with Client in connection with any adjustments, reversals or chargebacks to a Cardholder’s account; and (v) provided that FIS complies with all applicable Operating Rules related to adjustment, reversal or chargeback processing, Client shall be solely responsible for any and all losses, expenses and costs incurred through the disputed transaction process.

2.9 Client shall be solely responsible for (i) any Client specified reporting required by an Association or third party service provider and any fines or fees assessed with respect to such reporting, and (ii) dues, fees, assessments, penalties and other membership duties, obligations and costs of all EFT Networks to which Client participates in and/or requests access to; and (iii) complying with the operating rules, bylaws and requirements of all EFT Networks to which Client participates in and/or requests access to, as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time (the “Operating Rules”).

2.10 Client acknowledges that FIS’s ability to provide the Services under this Addendum is contingent upon Client obtaining financial institution sponsorship into the EFT Network(s) in which Client wishes to participate and receive or transmit Transactions from and through. As such, FIS will only provide Services hereunder with respect to those EFT Network(s) with whom Client has such sponsorship and for so long as Client maintains such sponsorship. Upon request, Client and/or its agents shall provide proof of such sponsorship to FIS by providing a copy of the executed agreement between Client and each EFT Network sponsor. Client shall indemnify and hold FIS harmless from any and all Losses incurred as a result of Client’s failure to comply with the applicable Law and the Operating Rules. Client authorizes FIS to comply with all Laws applicable to the Service, including any that pertain to the regulation and examination of Client, and shall pay FIS any fees associated with furnishing Data and/or Output to agencies or other bodies that regulate Client.

2.11 If Client purchases the “ATM Terminal Driving” Service, the following subsections apply:

2.11.1 All Transactions will be routed via the System for authorization, settlement, posting and reconciliation of Customer accounts. FIS shall process On-US ATM Transactions and Foreign ATM Transactions initiated at Client’s ATMs. Transactions will be processed and settled along with all interchange, surcharge, and FIS fees and will be funded by Client each business day. All settlement reporting will be made available to Client daily.

2.11.2 If the ATM device allows, FIS will monitor Client’s ATMs twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week for device, telecommunications network and transaction availability. In the event of an outage, FIS shall attempt to inform the appropriate party regarding the status of any device or telecommunications network in accordance with the Client directed call list and standard network operations protocol. Some ATM devices utilizing communications protocols such as dial-up or intermittent communication with the System may not be capable of monitoring twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days a week, in which case FIS will monitor Client’s ATMs during such times as the device is connected to the System or upon receiving communications from the ATM.

2.11.3 Subject to the technical capabilities of an ATM, and based upon instructions provided by Client to FIS, the Services provided by FIS hereunder for ATMs shall provide standard transaction options for On-Us ATM Transactions and Foreign ATM Transactions. On-Us ATM Transactions and Foreign ATM Transactions may include, without limitation, loan payments, fast cash, withdrawals, deposits, and transfers. Screen displays may have multi-lingual options and present Client provided marketing messages, as the hardware allows. Any custom graphics shall be provided by Client at Client’s expense.

2.11.4 FIS will provide reports necessary for Client to balance ATM Transactions daily and provide other related management reports necessary to provide accurate and efficient ATM operation. Client agrees to balance reports to its general ledger daily and to notify FIS, in writing, within three (3) business days of any out-of-balance condition. FIS shall not be responsible for any settlement issues or deficiencies reported to FIS after the applicable EFT Network allotted time periods for adjustment.

2.11.5 The ATM Terminal Driving Service will be available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week; provided, however, that FIS reserves the right to suspend availability of the ATM Terminal Driving Service for the purpose of maintenance or updating. The ATM Terminal Driving Service is deemed available when the System is able to process transactions. Any reprocessing required due to Client error shall be performed at Client’s expense.

2.12 If Client purchases the “Card Production” Service, a separate Addendum to the Agreement is required for this Service.

2.13 If Client purchases the “Fraud Alert Management” Service, the following subsections apply:

2.13.1 FIS shall provide the Service to Client and its Customers in either a standard or distributive environment. In a standard environment, using a neural network engine (“Neural Network”), FIS will monitor Client’s transactions and use commercially reasonable efforts to identify potential fraudulent activity. In a distributive environment, FIS’s sole obligation is to grant Client a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited copyright sublicense providing the right to use and access the Service in object code form utilizing workstation components at Client’s location. Client will configure the application, securely manipulate all software parameters and settings, evaluate, manage, and take action with respect to potential fraudulent activity in accordance with the Specifications. As of the Effective Date, the Neural Network is a proprietary

transaction account fraud detection and report system of Fair Isaac Corporation (together with its affiliated companies, “Fair Isaac”), which FIS has obtained the right to offer to its clients pursuant to an agreement with Fair Isaac. Client shall only use the Service for its Customer accounts that had a balance or any monetary or non-monetary transaction or authorization during the applicable activity month (“Active Accounts”).

2.13.2 Approximately fifteen (15) days following the Commencement Date, FIS will begin to develop individual profiles for each Cardholder’s Card, which development will take approximately sixty (60) days (“Profiling Period”). At commencement of the Profiling Period, FIS shall provide Client with notice of the date that the Service will become operational (the “Activation Date”). PRIOR TO THE ACTIVATION DATE, POTENTIAL FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY WILL NOT BE ROUTED TO FIS’s FRAUD ALERT SPECIALISTS FOR REVIEW AND/OR ACTION. This subsection shall not apply in the event that Client is using the Service in a production environment as of the Effective Date.

2.13.3 When the Service detects a potentially fraudulent transaction in the standard environment, FIS may decline the transaction, place a “hold” on the applicable card to prevent any further transactions, and/or promptly contact by telephone either the Customer or an individual designated by Client. Client hereby authorizes FIS to decline card transactions that appear suspicious in FIS’s sole discretion and to contact the Customer to confirm transaction activity as deemed appropriate in FIS’s sole discretion. In the distributive environment, the obligations set forth in this subsection are the sole responsibility of Client.

2.13.4 The Service will be available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week; provided, however, that FIS reserves the right to suspend availability of the Service for the purpose of maintenance or updating during “off-peak” hours. Although FIS will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep these periods of unavailability as short as reasonably possible, Client acknowledges that fraudulent transactions may occur during these periods and FIS shall have no liability for those transactions. FIS’s call center shall operate twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, however FIS will only place outbound calls 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the Client’s local time zone.

2.13.5 Client agrees to use reasonable efforts to contact its Customers regarding potentially fraudulent cards or fraudulent use of a card and shall provide FIS with any information obtained from a Customer regarding such cards.

2.13.6 Client shall participate, via FIS, in Fair Isaac’s Fraud Control Consortium (“Consortium”), a cooperative arrangement among card issuers and Fair Isaac that permits Fair Isaac to collect and analyze data on card fraud for the purpose of identifying fraud trends and fraudulent behavior. Client authorizes FIS, within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and monthly after the commencement of the Service, to provide to Fair Isaac encrypted Client Data and other information requested from time to time by Fair Isaac for use by the Consortium in connection with: (a) Fair Isaac and its affiliates’ products and services; (b) in connection with and as part of any Consortium data; and (c) other research, consulting and development activities of Fair Isaac and its affiliates. Client acknowledges and agrees that contribution of Data to the Consortium is a requirement for use of the Service. All Client Data provided by FIS to the Consortium shall be subject to commercially reasonable confidentiality provisions, and FIS shall ensure that all Client Data provided to the Consortium is “de-personalized” and “de-identifiable” (as defined by applicable Law) and not identifiable to any person, individual, consumer, or entity and in compliance with applicable Laws. Client’s participation in the Consortium may be terminated in the event that Client is unwilling or unable to provide Client Data to Fair Isaac at all or in an acceptable format. In such event, the Client will be required to license a custom model from Fair Isaac, pursuant to a separate agreement.

2.13.7 Fair Isaac retains and reserves sole and exclusive worldwide right, title, and interest in and to the Neural Network, the Fair Isaac proprietary software that enables users to configure the application, and to securely manipulate all software parameters and settings, and in any related documentation, subject to the license rights granted to Client herein.

2.13.8 Only Cards issued by Client and processed by FIS are eligible for the Service.

2.13.9 Client understands that the Service is intended to detect and prevent potential fraudulent card activity. However, Client acknowledges that (i) no fraud detection tool is one hundred percent accurate, (ii) it is likely that some fraudulent transactions will go undetected by the Service or other mechanisms and may not be declined, and (iii) some non-fraudulent transactions may be declined because of the detection of potentially fraudulent activity. Client acknowledges and agrees that if the data submitted to Fair Isaac is not provided in accordance with the Fair Isaac’s specifications, a degradation of performance of the Service may occur, such that it may not perform in accordance with its documentation. Client will make commercially reasonable efforts to work with FIS to correct any incomplete or inaccurate Data contributed to Fair Isaac.

2.13.10 FIS’s obligation to provide the Service shall be contingent upon Client’s compliance with the following: (i) Client will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep current on FIS’s database all information regarding Customers, including, but not limited to, each Customer’s date of birth, telephone numbers, address and Social Security number; (ii) Client shall participate in periodic confidential surveys deemed necessary by FIS or Fair Isaac to assess the Service’s performance; and (iii) Client acknowledges and agrees that the parameters for operation of the Neural Network system in the standard environment shall be determined from time to time by FIS and Fair Isaac, as applicable, to attempt to improve the performance of the Service, in their sole discretion. In the distributive environment, FIS will provide ranges of parameters for general operation of the Neural Network but Client will be solely responsible for designating its applicable parameters for operation. Examples of such parameters include, without limitation, minimum scores required to trigger an inquiry and prerequisites to a decision to block a card or initiate cardholder or Client contact and the then current Service operating procedures issued by FIS.

2.13.11 “Real-Time Rules” are rules applicable to the scoring mode (as described in the operating procedures). In the standard environment, Real-Time Rules are solely established by FIS. In the distributive environment, Client will provide FIS with the Real-Time Rules applicable to the operation of the Service. FIS has the right to reject any Real-Time Rule it deems potentially adverse to any Association standard or the performance of the Service.

2.13.12 FIS disclaims all liability to Client for, and Client shall indemnify and hold FIS harmless from, any and all Losses arising in connection with any of the following: (i) any occurrence of fraud in connection with a Card; (ii) the application of a low risk score when a transaction was actually fraudulent; (iii) the application of a high risk score which results in blocking use of a Card which is not involved in fraudulent activity; (iv) any failure by FIS to decline a fraudulent transaction or to notify Client or Customer of a fraudulent transaction; (v) any decline of a non-fraudulent transaction; (vi) a Customer’s inability to use his or her Card due to FIS placing a restriction on a card which FIS reasonably determines to be potentially fraudulent; and (vii) Service downtime for maintenance, enhancements, upgrades, and similar activities.

2.13.13 Except as expressly stated herein, Client warrants that neither Client nor its affiliates, nor its or their employees, representatives, contractors, and/or agents: (i) shall in any way use the Service other than within the scope of the licenses granted; (ii) shall in any way alter, change, modify, adapt, translate, or make derivative works from the Service; (iii) shall, with respect to the Service reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or reduce any object code to human perceivable form or permit others to do so; (iv) shall sublicense or operate the Service for timesharing, rental, outsourcing, or service bureau operations, or to train persons other than permitted users; (v) shall disclose or publish performance benchmark results for the Service without FIS and Fair Isaac’s prior written consent; or (vi) shall use any third party software provided in connection with the Service in conjunction with any product or service other than the Service. Client further represents and warrants that it (a) has sufficient ownership rights in the Client Data, to hold said Client Data, to deliver or cause it to be delivered by FIS to Fair Isaac, to cause the Services to be rendered with respect to it for the purposes set forth in this Addendum, to receive the processed Client Data from FIS, and make its intended use of the Client Data; and (b) has obtained from individuals all consents and has provided all notices necessary with respect to the intended disclosure and use(s) of Client Data, that are required under applicable Laws. Client shall indemnify and hold harmless Fair Isaac from and against any and all Losses incurred by Fair Isaac arising from or in connection with a breach of these representations and warranties.

2.13.14 Upon termination or expiration of the right to use the Service for any reason, all licenses granted hereunder shall terminate immediately, Client shall immediately cease using the Service, and shall either return to FIS or destroy all copies of the Fair Isaac proprietary documentation associated with the Service in Client’s possession.

2.13.15 Client acknowledges that the Service, the Fair Isaac proprietary software, and any related documentation contain confidential and proprietary information belonging to Fair Isaac and its licensors (if any). Client shall hold the Service, the Fair Isaac proprietary software, and any related documentation in strict confidence and shall not disclose the Service, results thereof, or the Fair Isaac proprietary software, or any related documentation except to its employees or independent contractors who have a need to know for the above stated purpose, and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality no less restrictive than the terms of this Agreement. Client agrees to use the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to protect against the unauthorized disclosure of Fair Isaac’s confidential and propriety information. Client shall have no obligation of confidentiality with respect to confidential information which is (i) is independently

developed by Client without reference to or use of Fair Isaac’s confidential and proprietary information; (ii) is obtained by Client without restriction on disclosure or use from another source without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality owed by such source to Fair Isaac; or (iii) is or becomes part of the public domain through no wrongful act of Client or any party that obtained the information from Fair Isaac. If Client is served with any subpoena or other legal process or a court or governmental request or order requiring or purporting to require the disclosure of any of Fair Isaac’s confidential information, Client shall, unless prohibited by law, promptly notify FIS and/or Fair Isaac of such fact and cooperate fully with Fair Isaac in seeking a protective order, seeking to limit, or appealing any such legal process to the extent deemed appropriate by Fair Isaac. The obligations of confidentiality and license restrictions contained in this Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

2.13.16 Client acknowledges and agrees that Fair Isaac shall not be responsible for any losses, damages including but not limited to direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, or liabilities, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or under any other theory, incurred by Client, its agents, or any Customers, caused by failures, inaccuracies or errors in the operation of the Service, or other claims associated with the Service or the functions and services provided by FIS or Fair Isaac in connection with the use of the Service.

PAYMENT MANAGER SERVICES ADDENDUM

1. Introduction. INDEPENDENT BANK CORP. of Rockland, MA (“Client”) engages FIS to provide money movement services through its online platform. Client may select one or more of the available services as further described in the attached supplement(s) and the pricing attachment (“Service(s)”) using its Payment Manager software and systems (“System”), in accordance with this Payment Manager Services Addendum (“Addendum”). This Addendum is a part of the Information Technology Services Agreement described on the Order Form to which this Addendum is attached (“Agreement”), and capitalized words not otherwise defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. The General Terms apply to the Services provided pursuant to this Addendum.

2. Commencement.

2.1 FIS, in consultation with Client, will develop a detailed, customized plan (the “Implementation Plan”) for implementing the Service for Client (the “Implementation”). 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 Plan 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 Service. Client agrees to maintain an adequate staff of persons who are knowledgeable about the banking, data processing and information technology systems currently used by Client. Client further agrees to provide such services and to perform such obligations as are specified as Client’s responsibility in the Implementation Plan and as necessary for Client 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. FIS and Client will each 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.

3. Access to the Services.

3.1 FIS shall provide Services to customers who have been enrolled in one or more of the Services by Client pursuant to its enrollment agreement (“Customer”). Client agrees that FIS is under no obligation to provide any person with access to the Service unless and until Client has provided FIS with all information and documentation required by FIS for Customer set-up.

3.2 If Client is not an FIS Core Services customer, Client shall establish connectivity to the Service through the use of application programming interfaces used in server to server communications (“Web Services”). Client will be deemed non-compliant with access requirements if Web Services are used for Customer interactions that are not approved by FIS during the Implementation of the Services. Non- compliance may result in FIS denying access to the Service. Client is not allowed to integrate the Service with any third party without FIS’s prior written consent. FIS is under no obligation to provide any third party with access to the Service unless and until Client has provided FIS with all information and documentation request by FIS.

3.3 FIS may introduce an updated version(s) of its Web Services (“New Version”) from time to time. FIS will announce any New Version according to FIS’s development release and communication standards. FIS will support the version of the Service in production immediately preceding the New Version (“Prior Version”) for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months after the introduction of the New Version. The Prior Version shall be considered to be retired twenty-four (24) months after the introduction of the New Version. FIS reserves the right to retire a Prior Version before the end of the twenty-four (24) month support period if the Prior Version causes any system stability or security issues that cannot be remedied by other means. FIS will notify Client six (6) months prior to the Prior Version’s retirement date with the details required for Client to update the New Version. Client’s failure to update to the New Version prior to the retirement of the Prior Version may disrupt Client’s ability to make the Services available to its Customers. In the event Client has not updated to the New Version prior to the communicated retirement date of the Prior Version, FIS may discontinue providing the Services to Client.

4. Service.

4.1 Branded Payment Manager User Interface. Client may elect to receive the Service through a branded instance of the Payment Manager user interface (“Branded User Interface”).

FIS may process payments using the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”). In doing so, FIS acts as Client’s third-party service provider and is not itself an “Originator,” “ODFI,” or “RDFI” (as defined under National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”) rules). FIS may remit payments using checks drawn on its or its affiliate’s clearing account, and may set an expiration date for such checks. FIS may also remit payments using checks drawn on the Customer’s designated account.

BILL PAYMENT SERVICES SUPPLEMENT

This Supplement (this “Supplement”) sets forth additional terms and conditions applicable to the Bill Payment Services (“Service”) provided to INDEPENDENT BANK CORP. of Rockland, MA (“Client”) and is made a part of and incorporated into the Payment Manager Services Addendum (the “Addendum”) to the Information Technology Services Agreement (the “Agreement”). All capitalized words not specifically defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Addendum or the General Terms. The terms and provisions set forth in this Supplement modify and supersede all inconsistent terms and provisions set forth in the Addendum with respect to the subject matter hereof, and except as modified herein, all other terms and conditions of the Addendum shall remain in full force and effect.

1. Bill Payment. The Service permits Client’s customers with United States funding accounts (“Customers”) to schedule payments online to United States payees. FIS chooses the payment method. The settlement account shall be the Customer’s designated funding account for all transactions. FIS shall charge the designated settlement account(s) the amounts owed to settle payments processed by FIS.

2. Payment Scheduling

2.1 Once an automatic payment is set up by the End User, FIS will automatically execute payments according to Customer instructions until the End User cancels or changes those instructions.

2.2 FIS will execute the bill payment instructions according to the End User’s instructions for each manual payment.

3. e-Bill Service. The billing source must provide FIS with information and authorization necessary for FIS to receive the bill for processing. The billing source is responsible for the accuracy of account and other information required for accessing its bills.

4. Account Administration. Client is responsible for obtaining and maintaining access to the CST (the “Customer Service Tool”).

5. Conversion. In the event that Client transfers data from another service provider to FIS to convert Client’s Customers to the System, FIS will not be responsible for any errors, delays, or problems in providing the Service that arise from the quality, reliability, or currency of the transferred data, including, without limitation, late fees for payments that are delayed due to the conversion of inaccurate or outdated payee data.

6. If Client purchases “Expedited Payment Services”, the following subsections shall apply:

6.1 Subject to the specifications of Client, Customers may incur fees for some or all types of Expedited Payments. Fees will be collected directly from the Customer on behalf of Client as a separate transaction to the Customer’s funding account, and will be initiated upon receipt of the Expedited Payment request. If FIS’s ACH debit to a Customer’s account for the convenience fee is returned to FIS unpaid, or FIS is otherwise unable to collect the convenience fee from a Customer, then Client is solely responsible for further collection of the fee. FIS will settle with Client on a monthly basis for the total of Expedited Payment convenience fees collected throughout the month. If FIS has settled with Client for a convenience fee which was later determined to be uncollectible, Client will reimburse FIS.

6.2 Expedited Payments are available for a limited number of payees. Availability of Expedited Payment options will be limited based on biller capabilities, time of day, payment delivery mechanisms and other factors. Expedited overnight checks will be unavailable for delivery to PO Box addresses or locations in AK, HI, or any foreign or U.S. territory outside of the contiguous 48 states and District of Columbia. The Customer is responsible for entering and verifying any address for overnight check payments to ensure it is correct and is specified as a valid overnight package address by the biller.

6.3 Due to the inherent need to expedite the payment, payment instructions will be completed immediately upon submission of a request from a Customer. The Customer will not have the ability to edit or cancel the payment instruction after he has confirmed the payment request.

3. Commencement.

3.1 For Software not in production as of the Effective Date, the “Commencement Date” for Software is the earlier of: (i) the date the Software is delivered to Client; (ii) in the event FIS provides implementation and/or data conversion services, the date the Software is first installed and available for Client’s use in a production environment; or (iii) the commencement date agreed upon by the parties in writing. In the event that there is a dispute over the Commencement Date and the parties are unable to mutually agree upon a Commencement Date after reasonable discussion, the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the one (1) month anniversary of the Effective Date of this Addendum (or the one (1) month anniversary of the Effective Date of any amendment hereto for additional Software licensed by Client after the Effective Date). If the Commencement Date for Software is delayed for (a) more than ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (or sixty (60) days after the agreed upon Commencement Date for a denovo client); (b) ninety (90) days after the Effective Date of any amendment to this Addendum for additional Software; or (c) any reason beyond FIS’s control, then: FIS may suspend delivery and/or implementation of the Software and Client shall pay any associated one-time fees and Maintenance fees through the balance of the term applicable to Maintenance. The Commencement Date may be rescheduled to a mutually agreed date upon request.

3.2 Client shall dedicate sufficient resources, including the assignment of adequate personnel, to implement the Software no more than one hundred eighty (180) days following the Effective Date (or such other date mutually agreed upon by the parties).

3.3 Except to the extent FIS has agreed to be responsible for the delivery of the Data, Client shall timely deliver any Data or other information necessary to implement the Software in an electronic form and format approved by FIS. Client is solely responsible for timely procuring any information or cooperation required from its Customers and suppliers in order to implement the Software.

4. License. Subject to Client’s payment of all applicable license fees, FIS (or if applicable, one or more of its affiliated companies) grants Client a limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable right and license, during the time period specified above under Section 2 above or as otherwise set forth in any pricing attachment or Supplement, to use and/or access a single copy of the object code of the Software solely: (i) in accordance with the terms and restrictions of this Addendum; (ii) on the equipment identified in the implementation specifications if it is a Specified CPU License; (iii) at the site of initial installation (“Site”) if the license of such Software is stated in the pricing attachment or Supplement to be a “Site License;” (iv) on the prescribed number of individual workstations at a Client facility if the license of such Software it is stated in the pricing attachment or Supplement to be “Seat License;” (v) at an unlimited number of individual workstations located at a Client facility if the license of such Software is stated in the pricing attachment or Supplement to be an “Enterprise License;” and (vi) for its own internal business purpose. Client shall prepare its equipment and site for installation of the Software in accordance with the Specifications. Client may change its equipment or site only with FIS’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5. Acceptance. Client is solely responsible for independently determining if the Software meets its needs and requirements. Client shall verify that the Software complies with the Specifications within thirty (30) days of its delivery. Client shall have conclusively accepted the Software if Client: (i) fails to give FIS written notice of any


EID: 2685	PLID: 248707
		Prepared for: Independent Bank Corp.	Page 96


		CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED

material non-conformity with the Specifications (“Defect”), which notice details such Defect, during that thirty (30) day period (or within ten (10) days following FIS’s correction of the last reported Defect); or (ii) uses the Software to process data for production purposes.

6. Use of Software. Client shall not directly or indirectly: (i) lease, rent, assign, sublicense, transfer, disclose, provide, sell, market, distribute, reproduce, or copy Software, except solely for any copying that is necessarily incidental to a permitted use of the Software hereunder or expressly permitted below in this Section 6; (ii) use or allow Software to be used or operated by, or for the benefit of, any third party, including any direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate, or any successor or parent company; (iii) use Software in the operation of a service bureau; (iv) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Software; or (v) modify, adapt, alter, translate or create derivative works from or otherwise alter the Software. Client may make a single copy of the Software in machine-readable form for disaster recovery and general backup purposes. That copy may be installed on a backup server or system for use solely when approved equipment is inoperable or unusable. Only one (1) copy of Software may be utilized for production purposes.

7. Rights. The license granted to Client hereunder does not assign, transfer, convey or grant any rights, title, interest, lien, or encumbrance of any kind, express or implied, to any system, assembly, circuit, combination, method or process of which the Software is a component, all of which are reserved. Client shall keep the Software free and clear of any claim, lien or encumbrance, and any act by Client purporting to create such a claim, lien or encumbrance shall be void from its inception.

8. Exclusive Control. Software shall remain under the exclusive control and custody of Client at all times, and Client shall keep it in a secure place under appropriate access and use restrictions. Client shall immediately notify FIS of any possession or use of Software not specifically authorized by FIS.

9. Modifications. All modifications, customizations, improvements, upgrades, updates, corrections, enhancements and changes made or relating to, and any derivative work from, any part of the Software (“Modifications”) shall be owned solely and exclusively by FIS regardless of who created them or the medium of expression. Client shall have no right to make Modifications for any purpose. Client shall have a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to use such Modifications that are provided by FIS to Client in performance of the Agreement solely for Client’s own benefit in accordance with the license of the Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client irrevocably assigns, transfers, and conveys to FIS all of Client’s right, title, and interest in any Modifications, including, without limitation, all rights of patent, copyright, trade secret, know-how, and other intellectual property and proprietary rights therein, thereto, or covering same. Client shall execute any appropriate documents and take any action reasonably requested by FIS in order to perfect FIS’s ownership in the Modifications. This Addendum does not limit or restrict FIS from developing or marketing the Software or any Modifications, or any similar programs, materials or information, free of any compensation, accounting, attribution, notice or consent obligation to Client.

10. Warranty. FIS warrants that the Software will be free of Defects for a period of five (5) business days following its acceptance (“Warranty Period”). If a Defect occurs during the Warranty Period, FIS shall, at its discretion and as its sole obligation, either: (i) correct the Defect or replace the Software; or (ii) terminate the license for the applicable Software and refund the fee paid for such license. During the Warranty Period, FIS shall provide support (“Support”) consisting of telephone access to: (a) a program control center that will receive reports of Defects during normal business hours (8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, excluding any holiday recognized by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board); and (b) an emergency U.S. answering service available at all times (24/7) for reporting Defects that cause a complete system failure. FIS will endeavor to respond to any emergency call within two (2) hours after that call is received. FIS may also provide on-site technical assistance at Client’s request at its then-current rates.

11. Maintenance and Support. Unless specifically set forth in a pricing attachment or Supplement, FIS is under no obligation to provide, and Client is under no obligation to purchase, Maintenance. Maintenance shall fall within the definition of “Service” as such term is used in the General Terms and elsewhere in the Agreement. If Client elects to receive and FIS agrees to provide Maintenance, and the associated fees are current and fully paid, FIS shall provide Maintenance consisting of the: (i) provision of Support; (ii) correction of covered Defects reported by Client; and (iii) periodic provision of Modifications made generally available at no additional charge to clients receiving Maintenance (each a “Release”). Releases do not include: (a) new or replacement products; or (b) new versions of Software. Client shall continuously maintain Software at the most current or immediately preceding Release level. FIS will provide Client with a memorandum explaining the nature of any changes made to Software and any updates to the corresponding Specifications for each new Release. Client shall be deemed to have accepted a Release unless it notifies FIS of its rejection within thirty (30) days following receipt.


EID: 2685	PLID: 248707
		Prepared for: Independent Bank Corp.	Page 97


		CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED

12. Defects. FIS is only responsible for correcting covered Defects that occur during the Warranty Period or for so long as Client receives Maintenance. FIS shall make the final determination as to the existence and cause of any Defect. FIS shall have no obligation to correct Defects unless: (i) Client provides a written description of the Defect to FIS in sufficient detail, and with supporting documentation within two (2) business days of when the Defect was first discovered or reasonably should have been discovered, to enable FIS to diagnose, and if necessary, recreate it; (ii) Client installs and maintains connectivity in accordance with the Specifications; (iii) Client reasonably assists FIS in diagnosing the Defect remotely; (iv) the Defect can be verified at FIS’s facilities; (v) the Defect could not have been prevented by installing the most current or immediately preceding Release level; and (vi) Client performs remedial actions reasonably requested by FIS. FIS shall begin developing corrections for covered Defects upon verifying their existence, and shall use reasonable diligence to complete development in a timely manner based upon their severity and impact on Client’s business. FIS may address minor Defects that do not materially impact Client’s business or cause unreasonable disruption in a future Release, and may provide Client with a reasonable “work around” to minimize the impact on an interim basis. Client shall be solely responsible for installing any Defect corrections or Releases provided by FIS. In the event an error or irregularity was not caused by FIS, Client shall pay FIS its then-current rates for diagnosing the cause.

13. Limitation of Liability. Except for Losses subject to indemnification under Section 10.2 b(iii), FIS’s obligations under this Addendum constitute Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for any Defects or FIS’s provision of Software (all risk of loss having passed to Client upon delivery of the Software). FIS’s total liability arising out of Software is limited in all cases and in the aggregate: (i) during the first year following commencement of the license, to the amount of license fees actually paid by Client; and (ii) after the first year following commencement of the license, to the amount of any fees paid for Maintenance during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the first claim.

14. Source Code Escrow. Upon request, FIS will deposit a copy of the source code for Software owned by FIS and licensed by Client with its escrow agent so long as Client pays all associated fees and executes and delivers all required documentation under FIS’s standard escrow terms.

15. Audit. Client shall maintain a record of the number and location of all copies of Software and shall provide FIS with a copy of that record upon request. Such records may include, but are not limited to, the names, addresses, contact names and phone numbers of the Software users. Client acknowledges and agrees that FIS may be obligated under its agreements with third party software licensors, for software components which are part of or associated with the use of the Software, to allow such licensors the right to audit FIS’s records for access and distribution verification. Client consents to FIS’s compliance with its obligations to its licensors and agrees to cooperate with FIS or its licensors regarding such audit efforts.

16. Mergers and Acquisitions. At Client’s request and subject to the assignment provisions in the General Terms, FIS will provide additional licenses resulting from any merger, acquisition, affiliation or restructuring (regardless of form) involving Client for fees to be mutually agreed upon prior to the time Client begins using the Software in the expanded environment.

17. Termination.

17.1 If Software or Maintenance is terminated by: (i) FIS prior to the end of its term pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, or (ii) Client prior to the end of its term (except as otherwise permitted under the Agreement), Client shall pay FIS, in addition to any other amounts owed, liquidated damages equal to: (a) fifty percent (50%) of all remaining amounts owing through the term of this Addendum; (b) any out of pocket expenses directly incurred by FIS as a consequence of the termination; (c) any credits or incentives given to Client by FIS on or before the Commencement Date of a Service; plus (d) any unpaid one-time fees relating to such Software and/or Maintenance.

17.2 Upon the termination of this Addendum for any reason, the license(s) granted hereunder shall immediately cease to exist. Client will promptly discontinue all use of the Software, permanently erase all copies of the Software on any and all computers, data carriers or other medium directly or indirectly in the possession or under the control of Client, and return to FIS or irretrievably destroy all other copies of the Software and all related FIS Confidential Information on tangible media in Client’s direct or indirect possession or control, and certify in writing to FIS within sixty (60) days of the date of termination that it has fully complied with these requirements. FIS will likewise return to Client or destroy all copies of related Client Confidential Information on tangible media in FIS’s possession or control and certify in writing to Client that it has fully complied with these requirements.

XPRESS DEPOSIT SERVICES ADDENDUM

1. Introduction.

FIS will, upon Client’s request, provide scanners at its then-current prices, which will capture images of paper checks, substitute checks (image replacement documents or IRDs), and accompanying data, if any, meeting the requirements of the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (“Check 21”) presented to End Users on which is recorded information evidencing withdrawals from or drafts against demand deposit accounts or other checking accounts drawn on U.S. financial institutions (“Check(s)”) in their digital representations (“Check Images”) and enable review and keying of magnetic ink character recognition (“MICR”) data by Client.

2.2 The Xpress Deposit system will (i) support FIS-certified smart phones and TWAIN-compliant and other FIS certified scanners connected via a secure Internet connection; (ii) process captured Check Images and enable review, keying of the MICR data and other data by Customers, and approval of deposits by Client; (iii) convert Check Images to an X9.37-formatted file (electronic cash letter file that contains image data) or ACH electronic transaction; (iv) provide access to archived Check Images for twenty-four (24) months; and (v) provide access to then-standard reports.

Each End User agreement shall, at a minimum, set forth: (i) the obligations of each End User to comply with applicable Check 21 and ACH rules and federal and state laws, rules and regulations and (ii) a disaster recovery procedure administered by Client that allows End Users an alternative method to deposit Checks in the event of equipment failure, telecommunications failure or outages and other system problems that may arise.

Client shall be solely responsible for obtaining FIS-approved communications equipment or services necessary for Client’s and End Users’ use of the Service in accordance with the Specifications. Client’s or End Users’ failure to maintain the communications equipment or services may result in Service failures and/or additional fees. Client shall have sole responsibility for ensuring its End Users properly endorse and submit Check Images and other data and submit the Check Images to FIS by the deadline for processing on the same day. Client shall direct FIS to submit Check Images for collection using one of the FIS-certified methods as specified in the pricing attachment.

2.5 Client acknowledges that the Service does not detect fraudulent Checks nor does FIS indemnify Client against any claims including those filed under Check 21 or ACH rules and regulations. Client acknowledges and agrees that use of Xpress Deposit will not eliminate the risk or exposure that is inherent in Client’s check processing services. Client agrees to accept full responsibility for the payment of all Checks processed using the Service.
