(“Arvato”, “ADS” or “Contractor”).
RECITALS
     WHEREAS, Intuit and Contractor entered into the Agreement;
     WHEREAS, Intuit and Contractor each desires to amend the terms of the Agreement as described in this Amendment;
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and agreements herein contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
TERMS
Unless defined herein, words used in this Amendment 3 as defined terms shall have the same meanings herein as in the Agreement.
The parties agree that the Agreement is modified and amended as follows:
1. Change of Entity.
All references in the Agreement to “Arvato Services, Inc.” are hereby amended to refer to Arvato Digital Services LLC (“Arvato”, “ADS” or “Contractor”).
2. Section 2(f) Services is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
During the term of any Statement of Work, if any change in the scope of the Services being performed under such Statement of Work occurs, either party may propose a change or additions to the work. Such changes may affect the scope or duration of the Services relating to any such Statement of Work, including changes in the specifications and changes in any deliverables to be delivered. The following procedures shall apply to any proposed change. Contractor promptly shall assign a member of its team to define and describe the change (an “Assessment”), and to notify Intuit of the cost and/or the impact on the schedule set forth in the applicable Statement of Work if Contractor believes that an adjustment in the fees to be paid to


 

Contractor with respect to the applicable Statement of Work, or an adjustment to the applicable performance or delivery schedule, is required. If such change is initiated or caused by Intuit, Contractor shall invoice Intuit for the work described in the immediately preceding sentence at the rate of the applicable team member and pre-approved in writing by Intuit, all as set forth in such Statement of Work. In the event Contractor initiates or causes such a change, Contractor shall not charge Intuit for such Assessment. Intuit also may request a change in the schedule without changing the scope of the Services relating to the applicable Statement of Work. In either case, the parties shall follow the above procedures and negotiate in good faith a reasonable and equitable adjustment in the applicable fees, schedule and specifications. Once the scope of the change has been determined, the parties shall determine jointly whether the change should be implemented, deferred until a later phase or project, or abandoned. In the event the parties tentatively agree upon a present or future implementation of a change, such agreement shall take effect only as set forth in a written amendment to the applicable Statement of Work executed by both parties. Contractor shall continue work pursuant to the existing Statement of Work, and shall not be bound by any change requested by Intuit, until such change has been agreed upon in writing by the parties as specified herein. From time to time, an email communication from Intuit to Contractor requesting a change and an email from Contractor acknowledging and agreeing to such will suffice as written agreement for purposes of this Section. To the extent that the agreed upon change would result in a material adjustment of Contractor’s processes or to other long-term aspects of the Services that may impact Contractor’s costs, the parties shall, notwithstanding such prior email communications or subsequent actions pursuant thereto, initiate the formal change request process described above.
3. The following is hereby made a part of the Agreement as Section 2(h) Services:

Intuit and Contractor shall select such auditor within fifteen (15) days following Intuit’s request. Contractor shall share the auditor’s report generated in connection with such audit with Intuit, which report shall be in accordance with AICPA Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70, “Service Organizations,” (SAS 70), and shall be in the form of a SAS 70 type 2 report as defined in such standards. In the event such audit detects a material weakness in Contractor’s processes that has been demonstrated to have resulted in adverse business impact actually suffered by Intuit, Contractor agrees to correct such weakness(es) within a commercially reasonable period of time and to provide Intuit with written notice that such weakness has been corrected and the measures taken to perform such correction. To the extent that such material weakness has been demonstrated to have adversely impacted Intuit’s business, Contractor shall [*].

To the extent a particular Statement of Work specifically identifies Services or deliverables for which Intuit’s acceptance is required, Intuit may, in accordance with any additional terms set forth in an applicable Statement of Work, conduct acceptance tests to verify whether the Services and/or the deliverables substantially conform to the applicable specifications set forth in the applicable Statement of Work or any written documentation provided by Contractor for the Services and/or deliverables.


 

Intuit shall have fifteen (15) days after completion of the applicable Services, or such other period as may be mutually agreed upon as set forth in the applicable Statement of Work (the “Acceptance Period”), to perform such tests. If Intuit notifies Contractor of any material non-conformities with such specifications in any of the Services and/or the deliverables (each, a “Nonconformity” and collectively, the “Non-conformities”) in writing within the applicable Acceptance Period, Contractor promptly shall either demonstrate to Intuit that no such Non-Conformities exist or use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such Non-conformities at its own expense and notify Intuit in writing when such corrections are complete. Intuit then shall have the right to test the corrected Services and/or deliverables, as upon the initial completion of the applicable Services as set forth above. If Intuit accepts the Services and/or deliverables, as determined by Intuit as set forth above, Intuit shall notify Contractor in writing of such acceptance. If Intuit does not notify Contractor of any material Non-conformities within the applicable Acceptance Period, Intuit shall be deemed to have accepted the Services and/or the deliverables. Should Contractor fail to correct a Nonconformity within ten (10) calendar days after receiving written notice thereof from Intuit, or such time period as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties, which period must be of reasonably sufficient duration to correct such Nonconformity, Intuit may terminate the applicable Statement of Work, without prejudice to its rights and remedies hereunder and without any further obligation to Contractor other than the payment to Contractor of any and all fees incurred by Contractor through the effective date of such termination pursuant to the applicable Statement of Work.

A. Controlling Access to Confidential Information
1.   Access to Confidential Information stored on Company’s systems must not be granted to members of Company’s staff, Sub Suppliers, or other agents, unless the following conditions are met:
  a)   The staff member, Sub Supplier, or other agent requesting the access can be uniquely identified (e.g., by a unique User ID), with the exception of “root” password access provided by the Company to its core system administration team;
 
  b)   The staff member, Sub Supplier, or other agent requesting the access has entered a correct password or other authorizing token to indicate that he / she is the authorized user of this account. If passwords are the only method used for authentication, they must satisfy certain minimal standards mutually agreeable to Intuit and Company (i.e., 8 characters minimum length, required use of special- and / or mixed-case characters, no words that could be found in a dictionary, and required to be changed every 90 days) that make them sufficiently robust to effectively resist both educated guessing and brute-force attacks.
 
  c)   In all cases, access permissions must be established in a manner that allows only for the minimum access level(s) required for each staff member, Sub Supplier, or other agent to perform his or her job function. The ability to read, write, modify or delete Confidential Information must be limited to those individuals who are specifically authorized to perform those data maintenance functions.
 
  d)   The date, time, requestor, and nature of the access (i.e., read-only or modify) has been recorded in a log file.
2.   Confidential Information stored on Company’s systems must be stored behind firewalls with access to such data limited as described in the preceding requirement.
 
3.   Secret Information must never be stored in clear text on Company’s systems. At a minimum, financial services industry-standard encryption techniques must be employed to safeguard Secret Information in Company’s systems from retrieval by unauthorized persons. Company should strive to adopt best industry practices where appropriate. Whenever possible, message digest algorithms such as SHA-1 or MD5 should be used to hash and verify the user’s


 

    password, and “salt” should be added to the input string prior to encoding to ensure that the same password text chosen by different users will yield different encodings.
 
4.   Passwords used to control Company’s staff, Sub Suppliers, or other agents’ access to Confidential Information must at a minimum conform to the password policies described in paragraph A.1.b above. Passwords used by Company’s Customers are not required to conform to these policies; however, Company must ensure that Customers do not have access to Confidential Information other than that which pertains to them.
 
5.   Procedures must be in place to modify or revoke access permissions to Confidential Information when staff members leave the Company or when their job responsibilities change.
 
6.   Printed material that contains Confidential Information must be stored in secured areas to which access is limited to those staff members who have a business need to access it. It must also be disposed of in a secure manner. At a minimum, financial services industry-standard protections must be employed to ensure the secure storage and destruction of Secret and Sensitive Information. Whenever possible, secure disposal alternatives such as on-site shredding prior to recycling or placement in publicly-accessible trash bins with subsequent off-site shredding by a licensed Sub Supplier should be implemented.
B. Transmitting Confidential Information
1.   Unless restricted by law, Company must not electronically transmit Secret or Sensitive Information over publicly accessible networks without using 128-bit SSL or another mechanism that affords similar or greater security and confidentiality. If legal restrictions limit the use of 128-bit SSL encryption technology, Company must use the strongest encryption technology permitted.
 
2.   Confidential Information must never be passed in a URL (e.g., using a Get method) in a manner that potentially exposes the information to third parties and causes such information to appear in log files.
C. Maintaining a Secure Environment
1.   To protect the accuracy and integrity of Confidential Information, all such data must be backed up regularly (no less often than weekly), and the backups stored in secure, environmentally-controlled, limited-access facilities.
 
2.   Company must run internal and external network vulnerability scans at least monthly and after any change in the network configuration (e.g., new system component installations, changes in network topology, firewall rule modifications, or product upgrades).
 
3.   Company must promptly install any security-related fixes identified by its hardware or software Suppliers, if the security threat being addressed by the fix is one that threatens the privacy or integrity of any Confidential Information covered by this Agreement. Such upgrades must be made as soon as they can safely be installed and integrated into Company’s existing architecture and systems.
 
4.   Intuit may, from time to time, advise Company of recent security threats that have come to its attention, and require Company to implement specific modifications to its software, policies, or procedures that may be necessary to counter these threats. Company must implement these modifications within a mutually-agreeable time, or must obtain written permission from Intuit to take some other course of action to ensure that the privacy and integrity of any Confidential Information is preserved.
 
5.   Company must immediately notify Intuit if it knows or suspects that Confidential Information has been compromised or disclosed to unauthorized persons, or if there has been any meaningful or substantial deviation from the


 

    requirements contained in the Agreement or this Exhibit. See Section F for contact information. Company agrees that Intuit shall have the right to control and direct any response and / or correction of any such compromise or disclosure.
6.   Notwithstanding the minimum standards set forth in this Exhibit, Company should monitor and periodically incorporate reasonable industry-standard security safeguards.
D. Electronic Mail
1.   Company shall not send any Secret or Sensitive Information in an e-mail message over publicly-accessible networks unless the e-mail is encrypted using a previously-approved encryption mechanism or is otherwise made secure with an approach that has been mutually agreed upon in advance by Intuit and Company.
 
2.   Company and its Sub Suppliers and agents must not reveal the Personally-Identifiable Information of one customer to any other customer or other third party, in any e-mail or other communication, except as permitted in writing by the affected person, as deemed appropriate in light of the interests of the affected person, or as otherwise required by law.
E. Reviews, Audits, and Remedies
1.   Company agrees that Intuit shall have a right to verify Company’s compliance with this Exhibit. Upon no less than 14 days’ prior written notice to Company, Intuit (or its agent) may enter Company’s premises and inspect such of Company’s books, records, facilities and computer systems as Intuit and Company shall mutually agree is necessary to ensure that Company complies with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Exhibit. Intuit or its agent shall comply with Company’s standard policies and procedures that apply to third party companies that have access to Company’s premises, and Intuit or its agent shall access Company’s premises during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM), subject to Company’s standard security and confidentiality procedures and without disruption to Company’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Intuit in good faith believes that a threat to security exists that could affect Confidential Information, Company must provide Intuit or its agent access to its premises immediately upon request by Intuit.
 
2.   Intuit may inspect or employ third parties to conduct studies of Company’s operational processes, systems, vulnerability scan results and computer network security to determine Company’s compliance with this Exhibit. Intuit agrees to coordinate the scheduling of any such study with Company to minimize disruption to Company’s business. Company agrees to cooperate with Intuit to commence such a study within thirty (30) days from Company’s receipt of written notice of Intuit’s intent to conduct, or to employ a third party reasonably acceptable to Company to conduct, such a study. At Company’s request, Intuit will require any such third party it employs to conduct such a study to sign a nondisclosure agreement pursuant to which it agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information. Intuit will make the results of any such study available to Company and, depending on the seriousness of any problems found, may require Company to remedy any and all such deficiencies in a timely fashion. Costs of such audits shall be [*], and Company shall only be responsible for [*].
 
3.   Notwithstanding any time-to-cure provision in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall be completely within Intuit’s discretion to require correction of any demonstrated security-related problem within a shorter period of time, subject to the procedures set forth in this Section E.3. Intuit shall provide written notice of the problem to Company, and Company must immediately take appropriate steps to correct the problem. If Company fails to correct any


 

demonstrated security problem within a commercially reasonable time, factoring in the work that must be completed to address the problem, and resulting in the material disclosure or threatened disclosure of Intuit’s Confidential Information, Intuit may instruct Company to take such interim measures as are necessary to protect Intuit’s Confidential Information. If Company fails or refuses to take those interim and / or permanent measures which are necessary to prevent the material disclosure of Intuit’s Confidential Information within a commercially-reasonable time, Intuit may terminate any and all affected agreements between Intuit and Company for cause.
F. Compliance with U.S. Laws and Regulations
Each of Intuit and Company shall comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations as the same are applicable to the Services.
G. Changes to Requirements
Intuit may, in its sole discretion, amend these requirements from time to time, as required by law. Any amendments to these requirements not expressly required by law shall be subject to written amendment signed by both Intuit and Company and may entail additional costs.
H. Contact Information
The primary business contact person for each party under this Agreement shall designate a primary and an alternate single point of contact for security issues for such party (a “Security SPOC”) and provide mail, email, telephone, home telephone, and pager or portable telephone contact information for such persons. Both parties agree that either the primary or alternate Security SPOC will be available at all times (“24/7/365”). Such designation and information must be given in writing to the other party within ten (10) business days after the effective date of the Agreement. Any updates to the same shall be given promptly in writing to the other party.
