Each party agrees to send a representative with full settlement authority to the mediation. The mediation shall be conducted exclusively in Nevada unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The parties agree to hold the content of the mediation in confidence and further agree that the mediator is disqualified as a litigation witness for any party to the mediation. The parties further agree that the mediation shall be considered to be a form of settlement negotiations, the content of which shall not be admissible as evidence of liability in any judicial proceeding. Each party shall bear its own expenses and an equal share of the expenses of the mediator and, where applicable, the relevant arbitration body. The parties agree that any refusal to mediate under this section is a breach of contract for which damages may be recovered in litigation between the parties. Except as provided below, if the party who ultimately prevails in any litigation institutes a court action or other adversary proceeding without first attempting mediation as required hereby, to the extent that applicable law provides. SUCH PREVAILING PARTY SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ATTORNEYS’ FEES OR COSTS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE TO IT UNDER THIS CONTRACT OR IN COURT ACTION.

●

Dispute Resolution. In the event of a Dispute between the parties, the issue will first be escalated to the individuals identified on Exhibit D. Either party may initiate Dispute resolution by notice to the other party. Such notice will be without prejudice to the invoking party’s rights to any other remedy permitted hereunder. The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange meetings or telephone conferences, as needed at mutually convenient times and places, to facilitate negotiations between the parties. In the event that the parties fail or are unable to resolve a Dispute between them within two (2) weeks of notice, then either party may declare that a deadlock exists. In the event of a deadlock after undertaking the forgoing steps to resolve the Dispute in good faith, the parties may proceed with litigation proceedings.

Arbitration. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of Nevada and all rights and remedies shall be governed by such laws without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any document relating hereto may be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction in Nevada. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the agreed venue or jurisdiction based on the grounds of forum non-convenience, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of such action or proceeding in any such respective jurisdiction. All defenses based on passage of time shall be tolled pending the communications under Section 5.1(a), unless otherwise prohibited by law.

Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM, OR OTHER LITIGATION ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS AND WAS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR E1G TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER.

Interim Relief. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to preclude any party from seeking injunctive or other provisional relief in order to protect its rights pending mediation, provided however that such relief may only be sought within the appropriate judicial forum as provided in Subsection (b) above. In the event a party seeks interim relief without first attempting the communications under Section 5.1(a), such party shall not forfeit its entitlement to legal fees and costs that would otherwise be available to it only if such party initiates the communications under Section 5.1(a) within fifteen (15) days after initiating the action seeking interim relief. A request to a court for interim relief shall not be deemed a waiver of the obligation to communicate under Section 5.1(a).

Section 5.2. Indemnification. The indemnification rights and obligations of CUSTOMER and E1G under this Agreement are contained in Exhibit C.

Section 5.3. Reserves. In order to provide E1G with assurance and protection from potential and actual third-party claims, liabilities, losses, damages, disputes, offsets, or counterclaims due to negligence, fraud, non-payment, illegal or unauthorized activities of CUSTOMER and/or its Clients, including but not limited to the matters set forth in Section 13.16 herein, CUSTOMER shall pay the minimum of $50,000.00 only if CUSTOMER falls behind in payments greater than 30 days per incident.

In addition to any indemnification rights that E1G may have under this Agreement, E1G shall have the right to offset any undisputed non-payment by CUSTOMER losses, liabilities, damages, offsets etc. that it incurs and reimburse any related expenses, penalties, fines, costs and fees with the Reserves by providing five (5) business days’ advance written notice to CUSTOMER of exercising the right of offset before using the Reserves for any such offset.

Problem Management

E1 has a staff of professional Data Center operations and network specialists in E1’s Network Control Center (NCC). These individuals provide 24x7, multi-tiered, proactive monitoring and support for the switches and networks. Customers are notified immediately as soon as an issue with connectivity is detected.

For authorization switches, E1 developed proprietary tools are used to provide real-time and historical transaction statistical data, predefined threshold alerts, and connectivity status. As predefined thresholds are reached, or hardware or software failures are detected, audible and visual alerts are generated.

There is a dedicated team within E1 whose primary responsibility is to ensure adequate hardware and software upgrades are made. They use information to measure trends; forecast needs based on growth within our current customer base and new business, and identify additional resources that may be required to support new services. Business plans are evaluated weekly to determine if business assumptions remain valid or adjustments are needed.

It is imperative that processing be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In the event of a network outage, E1’s backbone network capabilities enable authorization traffic to be rerouted through an alternate route and through an alternate carrier until recovery is completed on the failing line. E1’s back-up and recovery procedures are designed to minimize system failures, and to ensure the availability and reliability of the processing platforms.

Change Management

In the event that E1 needs to schedule system maintenance, all changes to the Systems and Network production environment are recorded, reviewed and approved by Change Management, Technical Management and the applicable Business areas.

In the event of a planned outage, i.e. system releases, customers are notified in advance, via the outage notification process. The purpose of this communication is to advise customers what steps will be taken to facilitate the changes, the expected impact (if any), steps to minimize or eliminate impact and the expected duration of the change. Unplanned or ‘emergency’ events are communicated on an as needed basis and/or when possible, although the lead-time may/will be less than that of planned events.

Low Impact changes, i.e., Severity 3 and 4 are repeatable, routine, day-to-day activities, and those that are easily backed out with little or no impact are allowed to flow quickly through the change process after review and approval.

High Impact changes, i.e., Severity 1 and 2 are more complex in nature requiring a production outage such as System Hardware, Software, and/or Network changes are reviewed for approval with the change submitter by a Change Review Team during scheduled Change Management meetings. Once approved, these are implemented on a case-by-case basis, insuring there is no service interruption. During pre-defined peak periods, executive management approval is also required.

Security Standard & Policies

E1 will adhere to all applicable Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards, and will participate in any required exercises to ensure compliance; including security vulnerability scans of ports and networks.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

This SLA is supported by a Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Plan as specified in E1’s document entitled “DR/BCP Program - Executive Overview,” which shall be made available to the customers upon request.

Reports

Periodic reports may be provided by E1, as requested by the Customer, to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this SLA.

Service Level Reviews

Service level reviews will be conducted on a quarterly basis. Client Services Management will facilitate Service Level Reviews.

The SLA will require review under any of the following conditions:

1) Whenever there is a significant and/or sustained change requested of E1

2) Whenever there is a significant and/or sustained outage to the SLA

3) Whenever an E1 organizational change results in a change of responsibility for supporting the contracted services

Notwithstanding the fact that E1 and the Customer have agreed on Standards which reflect the mutual understanding of the parties regarding service level expectations and available technology, it is understood and agreed that over time, changes to the industry and available technology may occur. To that end, the Standards as expressed herein may be changed or amended from time to time as mutually agreed between E1 and Customer.

Any liabilities or remedies under this SLA shall be controlled by the Master Contract Agreement.

3. System Recovery Backup, recovery processes and systems to cater for critical IT system component failures as well as complete loss of primary data centre.

● A “Disaster” is any unplanned event or condition that renders E1 unable to use a Location for its intended computer processing and related purposes. Where any system component defined as critical fails, backup and recovery procedures will commence. Where normal service cannot be recovered within 24 hours, agreed business contingency planning procedures will be invoked:

● Where the outage affects the account handling/processing systems hosted by E1, agreed business contingency planning procedures will be invoked to restore normal service within a reasonable timeframe.

● Where the outage affects the web services, agreed business contingency planning procedures will be invoked to restore normal service within 7 days.

● Where the outage affects the call center, agreed business contingency planning procedures will be invoked to restore normal service within a reasonable time frame. Full customer impact of any disaster and proposed recovery actions will be communicated to the Customer and the decision to invoke recovery/contingency actions will be agreed by both parties within 24 hours of the incident.

● SLAs will be suspended when business contingency planning procedures are invoked and will be reinstated when normal service is restored at the primary or secondary site(s).

● No additional costs should be incurred by the Customer as a result of business contingency planning procedures being invoked.

● E1G to produce a consolidated business continuity and disaster recovery plan covering all of the critical systems required to support the Customer within 30 days from the signature date of this Agreement. This should be reviewed and agreed by the Customer.

Deploy all additional resources and take all remedial action that is necessary to rectify or to prevent the breach from recurring.

Both Parties agree will endeavor to meet the above SLA. In the event that there are repeated breaches of SLAs by E1, E1 agrees to introduce penalties to safeguard Customers right to quality of service.

E) Freeze Periods

E1G shall notify CUSTOMER of specific freeze periods annually. These freeze periods typically begin the first full work week of December and run through the holidays until the first Monday in January following New Year’s Day.

F) Force Majeure, Notice of Delay, and No Penalties for Delay: E1 shall not be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if neither the fault nor the negligence of its vendors or its employees contributed to the delay and the delay is due directly to acts of God, wars, acts of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar cause wholly beyond E1’s control, or for any of the foregoing that affect subcontractors or suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to E1.
