10.1 Modifications to Services.

10.2 Partial Termination by M&I. M&I may, at any time, withdraw any of the Services (other than the Services identified on Schedule 5.1 attached hereto) upon providing one hundred eighty (180) days’ prior written notice to Customer.

B. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, Customer may terminate any New Service upon one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to M&I. Termination of New Services shall not be subject to any Termination Fee, unless the entire Agreement is terminated in a manner which would entitle M&I to receive a Termination Fee.

M&I’s objective is to provide 24 X 7 hour availability for these systems. M&I does, however, need to perform, regular technical maintenance (e.g., NCP maintenance), CPU IPLs, DASD installs, HIS gens, etc.) This type of maintenance is performed between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., CST/CDT. These activities may result in system downtime during this window.

C. Processing Time. M&I will process transactions in an average of four (4) seconds for teller transactions and in an average of four (4) seconds for CRT transactions as measured over a calendar month, from the time the transaction is sent by the Customer’s controller or gateway to the time the processed data is returned to the Customer’s controller or gateway and seven (7) seconds for ATM transactions. Should M&I not be able to perform in accordance with the Performance Standards because Customer failed to acquire network or equipment recommended by M&I, or such additional network or equipment as may be reasonably necessary based on the circumstances, M&I shall notify Customer in writing, M&I will review such additional network or equipment requirements with Customer, and Customer shall either acquire such network and/or equipment or accept the response time that is achieved. Customer and M&I may agree to new Performance Standards based upon this review.

D. STAR View. Available on-line within five (5) hours after M&I’s receipt of release to post transmission if received by 2:00 a.m. CT.

E. Trust Services. Subject to the nonoccurrence of a force majeure and the performance of Customer’s obligations described in this Agreement, M&I agrees that the Trust Services provided under this Agreement will be provided in accordance with the following Performance Standard:

M&I will initiate batch processing and have bank operations reports available for transmission to Customer or make the processed item and reports within six (6) hours (fifteen (15) hours at year end) after receiving all input data from Customer, and with such performance being missed not more than two (2) processing days per calendar month. M&I will ensure that its on-line

 

First Midwest Renew 10   50  


computing facilities are available for the processing of Customer’s on-line transactions at a minimum of ninety-five percent (95%) of the time, as prescribed by Customer, measured over a calendar month at the point of departure from M&I’s communications controller. M&I will process CRT synchronous transactions in an average of 2.5 seconds as measured over a calendar month using IBM System Monitoring Facility (SMF) or similar product. Should M&I not be able to achieve this objective, M&I will review such additional network or equipment requirements with Customer, and Customer shall either acquire such network and/or equipment or accept the response time that is achieved. Customer and M&I may agree to new Performance Standards based upon this review.

Database Recovery

A. Application downtime standards will apply if the database is not available.

B. Compliance with the standards will be reported in a monthly management report which will be provided to each of Customer’s affiliates as well as a complete set of each affiliate’s reports to the Chief Information Officer of Customer. For each Customer affiliate, performance will be measured over a calendar month with response time measured from the point of departure of the M&I controller.

C. If M&I is deficient in any standard:

M&I will pay a credit of five percent (5%) of the affected applications for the first month following receipt of notice of the deficiency.

If the deficiency continues for sixty (60) days, a credit of ten percent (10%) will be paid for the next month’s applicable invoice.

If the deficiency remains for ninety (90) days or more, a credit of twenty percent (20%) will be paid for the third and each of the subsequent months of continued deficient performance thereafter.

The discounts in 1, 2 and 3 above exclude communication costs, pass-through charges or charges properly billed as miscellaneous on Customer’s invoice.

D. If the deficient service continues for ninety (90) days, it shall constitute an Event of Default on the part of M&I at which time Customer may terminate this Agreement without further notice and without further liability.

E. M&I will not be subject to penalties under the following circumstances:

Problems which are determined to be multivendor in nature and not caused by M&I. Work that is subcontracted out by M&I shall be not considered multivendor in nature.

 

First Midwest Renew 10   51  


Problems which stem from operational errors by Customer. M&I will have the obligation to report such problems to the Customer’s Chief Information Officer for resolution.

M&I shall reserve the right to postpone the installation of enhancements or postpone mergers or conversions where testing has not been successfully completed, or where issues remain outstanding due to system changes requested by or problems created by Customer which would cause M&I’s performance to fail only with the agreement and concurrence of the Customer’s Chief Information Officer.

F. If M&I maintains or exceeds standards for each individual item for ten (10) consecutive months after a deficiency, the initial thirty (30) day credit of five percent (5%) will be repaid. Upon achievement of another consecutive month of performance meeting or exceeding standards, the credit applied for the next thirty (30) day period shall be repaid. This will continue on a rolling ten (10) month period of time allowing for the possibility of an earnback of all credits paid in the sequence in which they were paid.

G. M&I assumes no other liability, expressed or implied, with respect to its obligations and the standards set forth in this Schedule 9.1 except as expressly provided herein.

DIRECTNET AMENDMENT TO OUTSOURCING AGREEMENT

THIS DIRECTNET AMENDMENT to the Outsourcing Agreement dated                              (the “Agreement”) is made as of this 7 day of January, 2000 by and between First Midwest Bank (“Customer”) and M&I Data Services, a division of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (“M&I”).

WHEREAS, Customer desires to amend the Agreement to obtain certain DirectNet Services; and

WHEREAS, M&I desires to provide said services.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Schedule, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth on Schedule 6.2(A).

2. BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.

2.1. General. Customer has developed a web site on the Internet, or has contracted with M&I or a Third Party to develop such web site. As part of providing the M&I DirectNet services to its Depositors, Customer shall link its web site to the M&I Home Banking System such that Users are able to receive the M&I DirectNet Services.

2.2. M&I’s Responsibilities. M&I shall provide to Customer the M&I DirectNet Services in accordance with the Implementation Guide. The M&I DirectNet Services shall be implemented by Customer in accordance with the implementation schedule (the “Implementation Schedule”) set forth in the Implementation Guide. As to any individual User, such services shall be commenced pursuant to the User Set-Up and Withdrawal Procedures set forth in the Implementation Guide.

2.3. Customer Responsibilities.

A. The parties agree that the Commencement Date shall be March 27, 2000 . Customer shall pay for the M&I DirectNet Services in accordance with Schedule Error Reference source not found. (“Fee Schedule”) commencing on the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding Schedule 8.1 to the Agreement, Customer agrees that the fees and charges set forth in the Fee Schedule shall apply to Customer through July 1, 2000. Thereafter, fees and charges for the M&I DirectNet Services shall be determined in the manner set forth in Schedule 8.1 of the Agreement. If Customer fails to implement the M&I DirectNet Services on or prior to the Commencement Date, Customer shall nevertheless pay M&I the minimum monthly fees commencing on the Commencement Date. Customer will provide Users with all disclosures required under all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations (“Applicable Law”) necessary to have access to the M&I DirectNet Services.

B. Enrollment of Users. Customer will obtain from each Depositor who desires to access the Bill Payment Services, or any portion thereof, an agreement or authorization, in such form as is developed by Customer, to access the Bill Payment Services (the “User Agreement”). The User Agreement will include, without limitation, the User’s authorization to allow Customer to provide the Bill Payment Services to Users and, if Customer has requested that User Fees be debited by M&I from each User’s DDA Account, authorization to initiate ACH debits from the User’s DDA Account for User Fees. Customer will review the User Agreement to determine that the User Agreement is complete and perform any and all validation procedures it determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary to ensure the financial integrity of a particular User. Customer agrees to cooperate with M&I and provide M&I with all necessary information and assistance required for M&I to successfully make the Bill Payment Services operational and available to Customer. Customer agrees that M&I is under no obligation to provide any User with access to the Bill Payment Services unless and until Customer has provided M&I with all information and documentation required by M&I for User set-up.

C. Disclosures. Customer will provide Users with all disclosures required under all Applicable Law necessary to have access to the Bill Payment Services, specifically including, without limitation, the initial disclosures required under Regulation E of the Federal Reserve Board (the “Initial Disclosures”). Customer shall include in the Initial Disclosures the appropriate telephone number (which may be a telephone number maintained by Customer or a telephone number maintained by M&I) for Users to contact with questions about the Bill Payment Services, and a statement that Customer may require written confirmation of any oral notice of billing errors.

D. Internal Use. Customer agrees that, except as otherwise permitted in writing by M&I, it will use the Bill Payment Services only for its own internal and proper business purposes, and will not resell, directly or indirectly, any of the Bill Payment Services or any portion thereof to any Third Party.

E. No Warranties. Customer is expressly prohibited from extending any warranty or warranties on behalf of M&I or its subcontractors to any person or entity.

F. Responsibility. Customer is and shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for the entire amount of any and all Failed Payments and Reversed Payments (as those terms are defined below). For purposes of this Section 2.3F., a “Failed Payment” is any bill payment processed through the Bill Payment System for and on behalf of Customer which fails to be completed due to insufficient funds in the User’s Billable Account or for any other reason outside M&I’s control. A “Reversed Payment” is any bill payment processed through the Bill Payment System for and on behalf of Customer which is reversed for any reason and cannot be charged back to the User’s Billable Account due to insufficient funds or any other reason outside M&I’s control.

M&I Bill Payment Services

 

  i) Payees. M&I will provide the Bill Payment Services on behalf of Customer to Users who enroll for the Bill Payment Services. Depending upon the Bill Payment Services selected by Customer, Users will be able to initiate payments, subject to any maximum payment limit established by M&I, by telephone or through a personal computer or other access device to any payee in the United States except for government or court directed payments.

  iv) Users shall be able to review, change, and cancel scheduled future or recurring payments

 

   

Back-End Processing. Each business day, M&I will consolidate all of the payments made throughout the Bill Payment System. Several editing functions check that payment information is correct before remittance is made to the appropriate payees on behalf of the Users. M&I then remits the proper funds (“Credits”) to all appropriate payees either electronically or by check if the payee is not able to accept electronic remittances. All checks will be mailed using the U. S. Postal Service, first class mail.

 

   

Stop Payments. Stops and reissues for check payments will be accepted by M&I beginning 5 business days after the date the User’s payment processing began on the system to the payee. In situations where it is apparent that the payment is going or has gone to the wrong address, wrong payee, etc., M&I will accept stops and reissues immediately. All requests made by Customers or Users to stop payments will incur the standard stop payment charge. All payments stopped due to M&I error’s will be at the expense of M&I. Electronic payments cannot be stopped.

 

   

Rejected Payments. If a payment is rejected for any reason, M&I will attempt to contact the User for resolution if necessary. If information is not provided from the User within five (5) business days, M&I will issue a credit to the User for the amount of the payment.

 

   

File Transfers. M&I will initiate transaction polling at least once per Business Day, or in the case of a holiday, the evening of the holiday if the holiday falls before a Business Day, to the designated sites specified by Customer or its subcontractor. M&I will notify Customer or its subcontractor of a problem with a file transfer via the method agreed upon by the parties (i.e. via page, e-mail, or telephone call).

 

C Customer Service.

Standard Research Inquiries- User initiated research will be handled within three (3) business days, 90% of the time, after the initial contact to M&I Customer Service by the User. By definition, “handled” includes items brought to resolution and items that require more information from the User or Payee before they can be brought to resolution. After initial research, all payment inquiries will be entered into continuous five business day follow up in order to monitor and determine the status of the payment research. Pending status inquiries will be tracked by or on the next action date and follow up will continue until the problem is resolved. The follow-up with Users and Payees will occur on the date of next follow-up 80% of the time.

Payment Inquiry Rate. The ratio of inquiries requiring Payee contact initiated by Customer and/or User’s to the total number of payment transactions originated by Users shall not exceed 1.25% on a rolling three-month basis. M&I will use its best efforts to consistently keep its bill payment inquiries under 1% on a rolling three month basis.

 

   

Billing Timeline. M&I begins the monthly billing cycle on the third business day of the month. By the 6th (sixth) business day, advices are sent by regular mail to arrive in advance of the actual ACH debit or credit which takes place on the 15th (fifteenth) business day.

SCHEDULE 6.2(F)

M&I Statement of Procedures Regarding Billing Error Notices

Research Items and Regulation E

Federal Regulation E establishes the basic rights, liabilities and responsibilities of consumers who use electronic funds transfer services and those of “financial institutions.” It is designed to protect consumers from liability for unauthorized transfers and other billing errors by requiring “financial institutions” to follow specific procedures whenever they receive a billing error notice from a consumer.

In the context of automated bill payment services, a Regulation E billing error occurs, for example, when a payment is not, in fact, authorized by the consumer or is processed incorrectly. When a “financial institution” receives a notice of such a billing error, it must research and resolve the matter within the time periods established by Regulation E. A “financial institution” must also research and respond within specific time periods when a consumer requests documentation of a bill payment transaction.

It is recommended that financial institutions review Regulation E for a complete understanding of their responsibilities under the regulation. Regulation E applies to “financial institutions,” which is defined under the Regulation as a “bank, savings association, credit union, or any other person that directly or indirectly holds an account belonging to a consumer, or that issues an access device and agrees with a consumer to provide electronic funds transfer services” (12 CFR 202.2(i), as effective 1/1/99). Since M&I Bill Payment Services does not directly or indirectly hold accounts, or enter into agreements with consumers to provide them electronic funds transfer services, it is M&I Bill Payment Services position that it is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined under Regulation E. Therefore, although M&I Bill Payment Services will follow procedures and provide services to handle customer inquiries related to automated bill payments in a timely manner pursuant to M&I Bill Payment Services agreement with its customer, ultimate responsibility for Regulation E compliance remains with M&I Bill Payment Services customer, the financial institution.

M&I Bill payment Services does not and will not provide legal advice or opinions to financial institutions regarding Regulation E matters. However, the following is M&I Bill Payment Services internal summary of Regulation E requirements, which is used by M&I Bill Payment Services as a guide in developing procedures for responding to customer inquiries that constitute billing error notices under Regulation E, and the procedures that M&I Bill Payment Services has developed based on the Regulation E requirements. The following is provided for informational purposes only. M&I Bill Payment Services makes no warranties or representations about the accuracy or completeness of this information, and M&I Bill Payment Services will not be responsible for any actions or decisions by any financial institution based on this information.

1. REGULATION E SUMMARY

a. Types of Billing Error Notices

Generally, a billing error notice is any written or oral notice from a consumer that an automated payment is unauthorized, incorrect or erroneous and which notice (i) enables the financial institution to identify the consumer’s name and account number, (ii) indicates why the financial institution believes that an error exists, and (iii) includes, to the extent possible, the date, type, and amount of the error. A billing error notice also includes a request for documentation for a payment transaction.

Notwithstanding whether or not an inquiry would satisfy the Regulation E definition of a billing error notice, it need not be handled in accordance with Regulation E billing error resolution procedures unless the notice is received by the financial institution within 60 days of sending the first statement on which the billing error is reflected.

The Official Staff Commentary to Regulation E (as of 1/1/99) provides that “a financial institution may require the consumer to give notice only at the telephone number or address provided by the institution, provided the institution maintains reasonable procedures to refer the consumer to the specified telephone number and address if the consumer attempts to give notice to the financial institution in a different manner.”

b. Procedures and Timeframes for Resolving Regulation E Inquiries:

Regulation E provides the following time frames for responding to billing error notices.

Ten (10) business days from receipt of the billing error notice to investigate and resolve the matter;

One (1) business day after determining that an actual error occurred to resolve the error by crediting the consumer’s account;

Three (3) business days after making a determination to communicate the results back to the user.

c. Extensions:

If a billing error cannot be completely investigated and resolved to conclusion within ten business days, a financial institution may obtain additional time to investigate the matter under Regulation E under two circumstances:

Written Confirmation

A financial institution has up to forty five (45) calendar days from the date of receiving an oral billing error notice if the institution has requested that the consumer confirm the notice in writing and the consumer has failed to do so.

 

© 1999, M&I Data Services    12    First Midwest DirectNet Amendment to Outsourcing Agreement (7 20 99)


Provisional Credit

If the financial institution provisionally credits the disputed funds to the consumer’s account within ten (10) business days of receiving the billing error notice, Regulation E allows the financial institution until the end of forty-five calendar days from the original receipt of the billing error notice to research and resolve the problem. The financial institution must inform the consumer of the amount and date of the provisional credit within two business days of provisionally crediting the consumer’s account and allow the consumer to have full use of the provisionally credited funds throughout the investigation period.

d. Resolution/Response

If the financial institution determines that no error occurred, the financial institution must, within the three business day time period required under Regulation E, report the results of its investigation to the consumer in a writing explaining its findings and noting the consumer’s right to receive copies of documentation relied upon by the institution in making its determination. The financial institution may reverse any provisional credit previously made to the consumer’s account, provided that the financial institution must notify the consumer of the reversal and notify the consumer that the financial institution will honor checks, drafts, similar items, and preauthorized transfers for 5 business days following the notice as if the provisional credit had not been reversed.

If a billing error is found to have occurred or cannot be resolved within the time allowed by Regulation E, the error must be corrected within the one business day period required under Regulation E, and the results must be communicated within the three business day period - including, if applicable, notice to the consumer that the provisional credit to the consumer’s account has been made final.

2. M&I BILL PAYMENT SERVICES PROCEDURES FOR THE HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC BILL PAYMENT RESEARCH REQUESTS THAT FALL WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF REGULATION E.

In recognition of the requirements of Regulation summarized above, M&I Bill Payment Services has instituted the following procedures for handling research requests.

The following are examples of the research requests that M&I Bill Payment Services will handle as billing error notices under Regulation E, provided the request meets the timing and content requirements of Regulation E:

 

1) a user states that he/she did not schedule an electronic payment that was debited to his/her account;

 

2) a user states that an electronic payment was remitted to a payee other than the payee designated by the user;

 

3) a user states that an electronic payment was debited on a date that was not on or about the date designated by the user;

 

4) a user states that an electronic payment was debited for an amount that was not the amount authorized by the user;

 

5) a user states that an electronic payment was debited more times than the user instructed;

 

6) a user states that an electronic payment was debited after the user successfully canceled the payment in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions;

 

7) a user states that a fixed recurring payment was electronically debited after the ending date of the payment series instructed by the user; or,

 

8) the user specifically alleges that the payment has been processed incorrectly, even if everything appears to be correct.

M&I Bill Payment Services will process these payment research requests in accordance with its normal procedures and timeframes. The majority of research request will fall into this category. Only a small percentage will fall within the scope of Regulation E.

M&I Bill Payment Services receives each such research request and logs the item on-line. It is important for financial institutions to recognize that M&I Bill Payment Services will log the request and begin to monitor response times only when the request is received by M&I Bill Payment Services, not when it is received by the financial institution. In order to ensure that M&I Bill Payment Services will process the item within Regulation E timeframes, a financial institution should, as permitted under the Official Staff Commentary to Regulation E, identify the telephone number and address specified by M&I Bill Payment Services for billing error notices in the initial disclosure statement the financial institution provides to customers. The financial institution should also maintain procedures to refer customers to this M&I Bill Payment Services number or address if the customer contacts the financial institution directly in order to ensure that the item will be processed in a manner that will enable the financial institution to satisfy Regulation E requirements.

M&I Bill Payment Services Research team will evaluate every payment research request it receives to determine if the payment was processed in error (unauthorized or processed incorrectly), or the user is specifically alleging that the payment was processed in error (incorrectly).

 

© 1999, M&I Data Services    13    First Midwest DirectNet Amendment to Outsourcing Agreement (7 20 99)


If M&I Bill Payment Services determines that the research item is a billing error notice under Regulation E:

We will attempt to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. If we cannot resolve the error within eight business days of the original notification date and we have received written confirmation of the consumer’s error notice (if requested), the financial institution will be notified via telephone by the research team, of the pending research inquiry and advised that a provisional credit should be made to the user’s account. By notifying the financial institution within the eight business days we are allowing for sufficient time for the F.I. to provisionally credit the account prior to the expiration of ten business days, as required under Regulation E.

The financial institution will be responsible for provisionally crediting the consumer’s account and notifying the consumer that a provisional credit has been made to the consumer’s account in accordance with Regulation E requirements.

M&I Bill Payment Services will continue to work the research request to resolve it as quickly as possible. When the item has been resolved, whether during the initial ten business days or the extended 45 calendar day period, research will notify the financial institution of the disposition. Where the alleged billing error is an unauthorized payment, M&I Bill Payment Services will report to the financial institution its findings, but it will be the responsibility of the financial institution to decide whether or not the payment was, in fact, unauthorized based on these findings. A log will be maintained of M&I Bill Payment Services notification to the financial institution.

The financial institution will be responsible for crediting the consumer’s account for errors, and notifying the customer in accordance with Regulation E requirements of the final conclusions of the investigation. In the event M&I Bill Payment Services findings indicate that no error occurred, the financial institution will be responsible for notifying the consumer of the results of the investigation, reversing the provisional credit (if any), and notifying the consumer of the reversal, all in accordance with Regulation E requirements.

A. If Customer is not a duly licensed card issuing member of Visa or MasterCard, Customer shall execute applications for membership in Visa and/or MasterCard. M&I agrees to assist Customer in obtaining sponsorship by an appropriate bank, if necessary. Customer shall provide M&I with copies of its fully executed Visa and/or MasterCard membership agreements promptly after receipt by Customer.

B. Customer shall comply with the articles, bylaws, operating regulations, rules, procedures and policies of Visa and/or MasterCard, as applicable, and shall be solely responsible, as between Customer and M&I, for any claims, liabilities, lawsuits and expenses arising out of or caused by Customer’s failure to comply with the same. Customer also agrees to abide by all federal, state and local laws required for providing card services. Customer agrees to be responsible for informing M&I, by reasonable advance written notice, of any federal, state or local legal or regulatory changes that require procedural or data processing compliance.

2.2. Customer’s Ownership of Accounts; Benefits and Risks from Cardholder and Merchant Accounts. It is understood and agreed that all Cardholder and/or Merchant accounts of Customer now in existence and those added during the Term shall be the property of Customer; however, Customer shall not sell, assign, transfer or convey any of such accounts, or any rights, proceeds, claims or collateral thereunder, to any other licensee of Visa or MasterCard without either a termination of this Agreement or the prior written consent of M&I. Customer, as owner of the Cardholder and/or Merchant accounts, is entitled to all of the privileges of ownership, including all revenues generated, such as finance charges, periodic fees, interchange income, merchant service fees, and insurance and promotion commissions. Similarly, Customer is responsible for all expenses and risks of ownership. The Customer is responsible for supplying all funds required for the operation of the program, including those borrowed by Cardholders and/or Merchants and for all operating expenses and charges, whether itemized in this Agreement or not, and Customer assumes all of the risks of ownership, including, but not limited to, all credit and fraud losses and all fees, fines and costs of compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations. M&I shall have no liability for any losses resulting from the operation of Customer’s card program and/or merchant program; M&I’s function is that of an agent and contractor for the administration and operation of Customer’s card program.

2.3. Additional Third Party Services. Customer may desire services which are not provided by M&I, and M&I may arrange with Third Party providers to provide Customer with such services. M&I will make such arrangements between Customer and such providers merely as a courtesy and shall bear no responsibility for their performance or lack thereof.

2.4. Subcontracted Services. Certain Services are provided by M&I through subcontracts with one or more Third Party providers. Notwithstanding the disclosure to Customer that some of the Services to be provided under this Agreement are to be provided pursuant to agreements with such Third Party providers, one of which is an agreement between M&I and Total Systems, Inc. (“TSYS”) (the “TSYS

Agreement”), Customer acknowledges that it has no rights under the TSYS Agreement or any other Third Party agreement as a Third Party beneficiary or otherwise and that all rights and obligations of Customer shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement. Customer hereby waives any right which it may have to bring any action against any such Third Party provider of such services, or against TSYS, pursuant to the TSYS Agreement. M&I agrees that during the term of this Agreement, it will, at the request of Customer, as long as any related direct expenses are borne by Customer, pursue against such Third Parties any reasonable request specified in writing.

2.5. Customer Responsibilities.

A. Customer agrees that it is fully responsible for all acts of any of its employees and agents (other than M&I) and the conformance by such employees and agents to the requirements of this Agreement as well as the laws, rules and regulations of any governing body, including Visa and MasterCard.

B. Customer agrees to involve M&I in designing any marketing programs and materials for solicitation of prospective Cardholders or Merchants, and to do so sufficiently in advance that M&I can evaluate and prepare for any system and procedural requirements. Customer warrants to M&I that all such program material will conform to all data processing, legal and regulatory requirements.

C. As owner of all Cardholder and/or Merchant accounts, Customer shall be responsible for establishing and applying credit and other approval criteria in accordance with all governing laws, rules and regulations. Such criteria may be applied by Customer through use of computer scoring systems, manually applied guidelines or a combination of both whereby M&I or M&I’s data processing systems are utilized, in addition, M&I may assist Customer in establishing such criteria as Customer may request. However, Customer understands that it bears all responsibility for such criteria and their implementation, application, and results.

D. Customer shall settle, before the time deadlines required on a daily basis, by deposit of funds due other financial institutions for processed sales drafts, cash advance drafts and other related transactions through a settlement bank as specified by M&I from time to time. Such “Net Settlement” shall be made in accordance with Visa and/or MasterCard Operating Regulations. From the daily settlement and accounting information sent to Customer from M&I, Customer agrees that Customer is responsible for the daily maintenance and reconciliation of all accounting entries.

E. Even though M&I may provide sample forms, documents, and procedures, Customer agrees to furnish and pay for all Merchant and Cardholder forms and documents used by Customer, and Customer shall be fully responsible for the compliance of such forms, documents, and procedures with the operating requirements of M&I, Visa and MasterCard rules and operating regulations, applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, and disclosure requirements of those or any other providers of services relative to such forms, documents, or procedures. As a part of this requirement, Customer warrants to M&I that Customer has reviewed and approved and shall continue to review and approve the form and content of documents, monthly statements, the calculation and placement of data contained thereon, and any other matter communicated to its customers as a result of the services provided in this Agreement. As a result of Customer’s regulatory responsibilities for documentation, Customer will be the repository of the originals of all such documentation for its Cardholders, Merchants, and any other requirements for whatever record retention regulations require. As part of the services provided in this Agreement, M&I may from time to time in correspondence or in manuals provided to or available to Customer provide samples of forms, documents, procedures, data processing system features and other information to assist Customer in determining some internal procedures, including certain internal and system controls, or to assist Customer in designing some forms of documentation; however, these are for example only, and M&I cannot be held responsible for their content since M&I is not legal counsel and cannot represent what forms, documents and procedures meet legal, regulatory, and procedural requirements. Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that its forms, documents or procedures and the content and use thereof meet legal, regulatory and procedural requirements.

F. All charges to Cardholders and/or Merchants will be solely determined by, and be the responsibility of, the Customer.

G. Customer shall be responsible and liable for the validity of Merchant transactions and of cash advance drafts originated through or by Customer or through or by Customer’s Merchants and/or Cardholders. Customer shall bear all losses and liabilities incurred through the fraudulent act or negligent act or financial circumstances of any Merchant or Cardholder or through any other means involving any Merchant or Cardholder of Customer.

H. Customer shall be responsible for adequately and properly training all of the Customer’s personnel with regard to procedures to be observed and the use of all system features, reports, equipment, function, and services. If Customer utilizes on-line system access features, Customer shall be responsible for delegating and controlling personnel access to the system and its data, including the proper segregation of duties and password access to system data, functions, and processes.

I. Customer understands and agrees that the card business, by its nature, carries certain risks, such as credit losses, fraud losses, counterfeit losses, and fees or fines for noncompliance with Visa, MasterCard, state, or federal regulations and that Customer is solely responsible for all such risks, losses, fees and fines. M&I will provide Customer with certain reports (some in paper form, some in microfiche form, and/or some available on-line or through some other electronic media), including management reports, that Customer must review, monitor, and act upon if Customer desires to minimize and control such risks, losses, fees and fines. Review procedures for such reports utilizing sound internal control procedures is also the responsibility of Customer, including verification of complete, proper, and duly authorized data entry of monetary and non-monetary transactions, files, and masterfiles in a timely manner. Consequently, Customer agrees to notify M&I of any data entry errors, including but no limited to any unauthorized transactions, new accounts, new files, or unauthorized amounts appearing on such reports, within thirty days of the date of each report; following such thirty day period, Customer agrees that Customer has reviewed and approved the content of each such report using proper internal control review procedures. Customer understands and agrees that since M&I retains data entry records for a limited period of time, M&I’s ability to assist Customer with research to verify any item of data entry is subject to the record retention period of M&I records as stated elsewhere in this Agreement. Customer understands and agrees that certain other functions or procedures requested by Customer must be performed by M&I on a manual or exception basis and are therefor subject to human error. Customer understands and agrees that, as the owner of its card business, it must

 

© 1999, M&I Data Services    2    First Midwest Amend 121099


bear all such risk of loss and liability and error as if it were providing all the services itself that are being provided by M&I. M&I does not guarantee that the work performed by it and its contractors will be one hundred percent error free or that the variables and options selected and approved by Customer with regard to data processing services will produce a result which is problem free and otherwise meets the expectations of Customer. The only responsibility M&I shall have with regard to (i) data entry errors and other similar human errors which occur in the usual course of business and (ii) unsatisfactory data processing results caused by options and variables selected or presented or approved by Customer is, respectively, to correct such error as they are discovered and to assist Customer in revising data processing options and variables to achieve a satisfactory result. The occurrence of (i) such errors in the usual course of business or (ii) unsatisfactory data processing results caused by options and variables selected or presented or approved by Customer shall not constitute a breach of contract under this Agreement and shall not otherwise expose M&I to any liability to Customer.

J. Customer agrees to provide M&I with such financial information for Customer and/or the Banks as M&I may reasonably request.

2.6. Customer Checking Account. Customer shall maintain and fund a demand deposit checking account, not requiring signature, at its location or at its designated bank on which M&I may draft for the Fees and the Expenses for which Customer is responsible pursuant to this Agreement. Customer shall provide M&I with the Transit Routing (“TR”) number and Demand Deposit Account (“DDA”) number of such Checking Account, so that M&I can submit such draft electronically through the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) system. M&I will provide Customer with data processing system reports and/or periodic statements itemizing the basis for charges for each such draft.

2.7. M&I User Manuals. Customer may reproduce and distribute any or all of the User Manuals solely for its own internal use. Customer recognizes, however, that the User Manuals may be copyrighted, trademarked, patented, or otherwise protected by M&I. Customer will not undertake to reproduce for distribution or distribute the User Manuals to any other Third Party. Any modification made to the User Manuals by Customer for the purpose of customization is acknowledged to be solely at the risk of Customer, and M&I shall not be liable to Customer for any inaccuracies arising therefrom. The distribution of modified User Manuals is subject to the same restrictions and shall further contain an acknowledgment of M&I’s copyright and other protected proprietary interests in such User Manuals.

2.8. Payable-Through. If Customer makes available balance transfer checks and classic checks to its bankcard customers, M&I Mayville Bank (“M&I Mayville”) will be the payable-through bank for the checks. Except for liability relating to M&I’s or M&I Mayville’s gross negligence or intentional acts, Customer assumes all liability relating to acts or omissions of M&I and M&I Mayville in connection with the checks, including, without limitation, all liability relating to the duties of paying or payor banks under Regulation CC or the Uniform Commercial Code. Neither M&I nor M&I Mayville have any duty to verify the signature of any maker of such a check or to follow any other procedure with respect to the checks except to determine if sufficient funds are available to pay the checks in accordance with M&I’s usual practice for paying a cash advance. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless M&I Mayville and M&I from and against any and all expenses and liability (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with any claim relating to the checks, liability for which is assumed by Customer, including without limitation, any claim relating to the identification of Customer as the bank by which the checks are payable, or relating to liability of a paying or payor bank or relating to M&I Mayville acting in the capacity of or being named as the pass-through bank on the checks.

 

3. FEES

3.1. Fee Structure. Schedule 7.1(B) attached hereto (the “Fee Schedule”) sets forth the costs and charges to be paid by Customer for the Services. Customer agrees to pay M&I the fees specified in the Fee Schedule for the Services rendered by M&I.

 

4. SERVICES FOLLOWING TERMINATION

4.1. BIN Transfer. Prior to the transfer of the Services to Customer or its designee upon the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, Customer shall inform Visa and/or MasterCard in writing (with a copy to M&I) (1) of the transfer of its Bank Identification Number (BIN) to the new processor, and (2) of the new ACH account number for billing purposes.

4.2. Confidentiality of Termination. Any form of termination notwithstanding, to protect the reputations of Customer and/or M&I, reasons for termination shall remain absolutely confidential outside of the Customer’s and/or M&l’s internal personnel except for reporting that may be required by federal law.

4.3. Direct Deposit Account. Customer shall maintain with M&I, for at least 120 days after the Effective Date of Termination, Customer’s Direct Deposit Account with M&I so as to permit M&I to settle any trailing activity which occurs prior to the Effective Date of Termination, but which is not known to M&I until some time thereafter.

Prior to the transfer of the Services to Customer or its designee upon expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Agreement, Customer shall inform MasterCard in writing (with a copy to M&I) of the transfer of its Interbank Card Association Number to the new processor following the Effective Date of Termination, as well as the new ACH account number for billing purposes.

M&I will ensure that its on-Oline computing facilities for System and Business E-Banking and any particular aspects thereof shall be available for the processing of Customer’s on-line transactions at a minimum of ninety nine percent (99.0%) of the time, as prescribed by Customer, measured over a calendar month at the point of departure from M&I’s communications controller. The time prescribed by Customer for each processing day for which on-line computing facilities shall be made available for each product or service is set forth below. Processing day shall mean any weekday which is not declared a holiday by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. “Availability” for purposes of this paragraph shall be expressed as a percentage for each calendar month and shall be the number 100 less the ratio of (i) time period of unscheduled outages over (ii) total time prescribed less the time period of scheduled outages.

Penalties

If M&I is deficient in any standard:

M&I will pay a credit of five percent (5%) of the affected applications for the first month following receipt of notice of the deficiency.

If the deficiency continues for sixty (60) days, a credit of ten percent (10%) will be paid for the next month’s applicable invoice. If the deficiency remains for ninety (90) days or more, a credit of twenty percent (20%) will be paid for the third and each of the subsequent months of continued deficient performance thereafter.

Customer Data Processing

BAI transmission window. While the System is capable of receiving a high speed previous day balance data file (utilizing an industry standard BAI format) at any time during which the System is available, technical support staff are available starting at 6:00 AM Eastern Time each business day to monitor such processing.

AMENDMENT TO OUTSOURCING AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT, to the Outsourcing Agreement dated July 1, 1999 (the “Agreement”) is made as of this 31 day of March, 2000, by and between the undersigned parties, and does hereby alter, amend, and modify the Agreement and supersedes and takes precedence over any conflicting provisions contained in the Agreement.

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned parties agree as follows:

A. For the purpose of clarification, the following are added to Section 1.2. Definitions, of the Agreement:

“Conversion” shall mean the transfer of data to M&l’s Systems for the purpose of processing such data for Customer by M&I, whether such transfer results from Customer’s acquisition of a new financial institution or portfolio, merger with another financial institution, or new M&I product/service requested by Customer. Conversion services provided by M&I do NOT include start-up, one-time, set-up, third-party fees and charges, or custom programming services.

“Pass-through Fees” shall mean any fee charged by a third-party and billed to Customer through M&I.

B Section III. Allowances of Schedule 8.1 to the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

“III. Allowances.

M&l agrees to provide Customer an allocation of ten thousand two hundred fifty dollars ($10,250) in each month of the term of the Agreement to be applied against specific charges as provided in this Section.

This allocation is derived by adding sixty (60) programming hours at the contract rate of one hundred twelve dollars and fifty cents ($112.50) per hour, plus the amounts of three thousand dollars ($3,000) for general expenses and five hundred dollars ($500) training expenses. The cost for the sixty (60) programming hours is built into the monthly processing fee and no additional charge shall be payable to M&I for the same. With respect to the remaining allocation specified above totaling three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500), the “general” services charged against this allocation will be discounted twenty-five percent (25%) prior to applying any portion of this allocation. Therefore, Customer agrees to pay M&I a monthly amount of two thousand six hundred twenty-five dollars ($2,625) for these discounted services.

This allocation of $10,250 is to be applied to charges for programming and “general” services (such as training and workshop fees). No portion of the allocation may be applied to monthly processing services, new product implementation or licensing fees or to any product/service where a separately negotiated discount is applicable. Any charges for programming and general services usage in excess of this monthly amount shall be discounted twenty-five percent (25%). Pass-through or third party charges shall not be subject to any discount or credit.

M&I will provide Customer a monthly statement detailing all activity charged against this allocation. The total monthly allocation may be changed by the mutual agreement of the parties.”

Except as expressly modified herein, all other terms and conditions contained in the Agreement remain in full force and effect.

Description of Services

PRM SERVICES

System Description

M&I Data Services’ PRM solution will be utilized for VISA/MasterCard™ debit-card transactions (PINned and non-PINned) and will be monitored by M&I’s Risk Management department.

M&I’s PRM solution utilizes neural-network technology that can help financial institutions minimize fraud by learning customer buying habits. Comparing against previous card usage keeps “false positives” to a minimum. PRM is not comparing against an institution’s general customer spending habits. This tends to cause a high level of false positives. PRM will assign a score to every transaction, with higher scores representing more suspicious transactions.

M&I’s Risk Management department will analyze current fraud trends and build rules to match the fraud trends. These rules are very dynamic and are modified frequently as the fraud environment changes. Risk Management has the capability of building rules for various transactions types, regardless of the score for the transaction. For example, a rule could be built for all transactions that occur in Japan or all automated fuel purchases in Los Angeles.

PRM monitors transactions in near realtime, within minutes of the transaction being authorized, and will not impact the customer at the point of sale. Near-realtime monitoring can help limit the number of fraudulent transactions that will post against a customer’s account. With near-realtime alerts, fraud analysts can detect fraud quickly and close suspicious accounts.

Process Description

When authorizations are routed to M&I Data Services for approval, the PRM system compares data from the current authorization with recent history completed on that card. The system assigns a score to each authorization. Based on the scoring parameters and rules established by Risk Management, certain authorizations will generate alerts that will cause the authorizations to be routed to queues for review by fraud analysts.

The fraud analysts monitor the queues and contact cardholders if they believe the activity is suspicious. The analysts contact the cardholders by using the information contained on the Cardbase Management System (CMS) 611/616 screen.

When a fraud analyst contacts a cardholder, one of the following scenarios will take place:

 

  1. The cardholder will confirm that the transaction(s) was valid.

 

© 2000, M&I Data Services    2    First Midwest Amendment PRM 060100


No action will be taken on the cardholder’s account.

 

  2. The cardholder will confirm that the transaction(s) was fraudulent.

The fraud analyst will hot-card the account on CMS. The analyst will list the card on MasterCard’s Stand-in file for 180 days or VISA’s Exception file until the card’s expiration date. If the suspicious activity is occurring in a foreign country, the analyst will block the appropriate foreign region(s) for 30 days. The fraud analyst will note the information on the CMS 720 screen for the financial institution to view.

The fraud analyst will advise the cardholder to initiate a dispute with their financial institution. The financial institution initiates fraud cases with the M&I’s Debit Card Services area.

 

  3. The cardholder cannot be reached and transactions seem suspicious.

There are several possible reasons that a cardholder cannot be reached. The cardholder may not be available or there may be missing or inaccurate telephone information on CMS. If the cardholder is not available, the fraud analyst will attempt to leave a message requesting that the cardholder contact our Risk Management department as soon as possible. If the telephone number is missing or inaccurate, the fraud analyst will proceed with the investigation

If activity is highly suspicious, the Cardbase status on the account will be changed to “warm card” (4). Deposits will be allowed on the account, but authorizations will be declined. The fraud analyst will not add the card to the VISA Exception file or the MasterCard Stand-In file. The fraud analyst will note the information on the CMS 720 screen for the financial institution to view.

Monitoring Schedule

Risk Management’s fraud analysts monitor alerts from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (CST) 7 days a week (these hours are subject to change). Holiday coverage hours will be determined by the M&I Risk Management department. The Risk Management department’s telephone number is ###-###-####, Extension 7422.

Cardbase Reports

Financial institutions should review all of their daily exception file maintenance reports, including the Call Center report 881 (MasterCard) and 781 (VISA). The Call Center report should be reviewed to verify negative status and make reissuing decisions. The financial institution can view exception file maintenance on the card level on the CMS 716 (MasterCard) and 717 (VISA) screens.

 

© 2000, M&I Data Services    3    First Midwest Amendment PRM 060100


PRM Reports

Currently, there are no generated reports available specifically for PRM. As indicated previously, financial institutions should review their daily Call Center report to find information related to maintenance performed on their cardholders’ accounts. Actions that occur on cardholder accounts are also reported on the CMS 720 screen as described in the preceding section of this document.

Implementation Requirements

In order to begin the implementation process for PRM, a financial institution will need to submit a written request to their assigned account manager or an EFD Services sales representative. After a request is received, the financial institution will be assigned an EFD Conversion Representative or Product Support Representative who will schedule the implementation. The Representative will work through the process of setting up the financial institution on the PRM product.

A critical component of the implementation is the completion of an introductory conference call between the financial institution and our Risk Management department. This is the initiation of the relationship between Risk Management and the financial institution and is used to further educate the financial institution on the process.

In order to use PRM, additional cardholder information is required. The Conversion Representative or Product Support Representative will work with the financial institution to obtain necessary cardholder information. In order for the system to be most efficiently utilized, this information should be loaded on CMS before PRM can be implemented.

 

   

The method used to obtain the required information is dependent upon the type of relationship the financial institution has with M&I Data Services. It is critical that cardholder information is regularly maintained so that the information on CMS is accurate. Failure to maintain accurate information will increase the time it takes to contact cardholders and may increase fraud losses.

The cardholder information necessary in order to efficiently utilize PRM is as follows:

 

   

Business phone number

 

   

Home phone number

 

   

Mother’s maiden name

 

   

Date of birth

 

   

Social security number

 

   

Last Address Change date

 

© 2000, M&I Data Services    3    First Midwest Amendment PRM 060100


Non-CIS institutions must provide M&I with a cardholder information file containing the required data. As non-CIS institutions receive notification from their customers when this information changes, they must update the CMS 611 and 616 screen. This will provide the fraud analysts with the most current customer information.

The same information is required for CIS institutions. They are not required to send in a file, since this information is already maintained on CIS. As CIS institutions receive notification from their customers when this information changes, they must update CIS. CMS receives the updated information from CIS.

After PRM has been implemented, the financial institution’s cardholder transactions will run through PRM to build a historical reference of cardholder behavior. Fraud Analysts will begin calling cardholders on alerted transactions after the information has been loaded and the participation indicators have been set.

© 2001, Metavante Corporation   4   First Midwest TConnect Amend 091201


error-free, or that all errors will be corrected. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of this warranty shall be limited to (a) correction of defects of which Metavante receives written notice during the period of Maintenance Services (provided that Customer furnishes, at its expense, modem and voice telephone line connections suitable for remote diagnosis); or (b) if such defect cannot be corrected, to terminate this Agreement and return the Connectware Products to Metavante in return for a refund equal to depreciated value of the Connectware Programs (based on a 60 month straight line method). EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, METAVANTE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE CONNECTWARE PROGRAMS OR THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED HEREUNDER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

8. Intellectual Property. If notified promptly in writing of any action brought against Customer based on a claim that Customer’s use of the Connectware Programs infringes a United States patent or copyright, Metavante will defend such action (to the extent based upon such claim of infringement) at its expense and pay the costs and damages awarded in any such action, provided that Metavante shall have the sole control of defense and negotiations for settlement or compromise. If, in Metavante’s opinion, the Connectware Programs or any portion thereof may be determined in any action to infringe upon any United States patent or copyright, Metavante may, at its option and expense, replace or modify the Connectware Programs to eliminate the infringement or grant Customer a refund equal to the depreciated value of the Connectware Programs (based on a 60-month straight-line method) upon return of the same to Metavante. Metavante shall have no liability under this Section if the infringement claim is based on use of the Connectware Programs in combination with software not furnished by Metavante, or the use of the Connectware Programs which are altered or modified in any way, other than modifications made by Metavante, or the continued infringing use by Customer of the Connectware Programs after being notified thereof, or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement. The foregoing shall be Customer’s exclusive remedies against Metavante for infringement claims relating to the Connectware Product(s).

9. Confidentiality. Customer hereby agrees that: (a) the Connectware Products are the confidential property of Metavante; (b) Customer shall instruct and require all of its employees and agents who have access to the same to maintain such confidentiality; (c) Customer shall exercise at least the same degree of care (but no less than reasonable care) to safeguard the confidentiality of the Connectware Products as Customer would exercise to safeguard the confidentiality of Customer’s own confidential property of equal importance; and (d) Customer shall not disclose the same, or any part or parts thereof, to any of its employees or agents except on a “need-to-know” basis. Customer shall require all nonemployees to execute the Metavante standard form of Confidentiality Agreement prior to disclosure. Customer agrees to undertake whatever action is necessary to remedy any breach of Customer’s confidentiality obligations or any other unauthorized use or disclosure of the Connectware Products by Customer, its employees or its agents. Customer further agrees not to remove or destroy any proprietary or confidential legends or markings placed upon or contained within the Connectware Products. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Connectware Products, including all copies, are the exclusive property of Metavante, are proprietary to Metavante, and that title and full ownership rights are reserved to and remain with Metavante.

The SOWs shall incorporate, and shall be specifically bound by, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2. Statement of Work. The SOW will be generated by Metavante and shall detail the specific services to be supplied by Metavante for any given transaction.

Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the deliverable upon demonstration by Metavante that the deliverable performs in substantial compliance with the specifications set forth in the applicable SOW.

3. Term. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated by either party upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party; provided, however, that all work in progress and any SOWs executed by both parties for which work has not commenced shall be completed by Metavante unless otherwise agreed to by both parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Agreement following a material breach by the other party that remains uncured after ten (10) days’ written notice from the non-defaulting party.

5. Independent Contractor. Metavante and Customer are independent contractors. Neither party or any of its employees, agents or contractors shall be deemed for any purpose to be an employee or agent or contractor of the other party. Each party shall at all times act independently and at no time shall either party make any commitment or incur any charges or expenses for or on behalf of the other party, except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

6. Taxes.
