The term of the licenses granted under this Amendment is perpetual, unless earlier terminated as a result of a default under the Amended Agreement. Except as provided in Paragraph 1 above, Netzee acknowledges and agrees that no fees or royalties are currently or will in the future be payable under the Amended Agreement, unless Bankers Bank requests and Netzee agrees to provide additional services. The Users may utilize the services of independent service providers, contractors or facility managers and, in connection with such services, provide them access to the Escrowed Software to maintain and/or modify, or access and/or operate on the User's behalf, any hardware of the Users or their suppliers, other software owned or licensed by any User, and/or the Escrowed Software, provided that use of the Escrowed Software is solely by or for the Users. As a condition of each independent service provider's access to the Escrowed Software, the independent service provider shall execute a confidentiality agreement with the applicable User in which the independent service provider agrees to use the Escrowed Software, and information obtained from the applicable User concerning the Escrowed Software, only to perform services for the applicable User, and agrees not to disclose any information concerning the Escrowed Software to any third party. 4 Netzee will provide to Bankers Bank a copy in acceptable form of the Escrowed Software. Netzee will also provide to Bankers Bank, to the extent such information is available or can be reasonably obtained, a list of the third party systems, equipment, and software programs required for use and/or support of the Escrowed Software. Bankers Bank shall be the exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest (including, without limitation, all copyright, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property rights) in and to all Modifications to the Escrowed Software created by or on behalf of Bankers Bank (provided that, in such regard, the ownership pertains to newly added or changed material or content, as opposed to pre-existing material or content, the ownership of which is retained by Netzee, and provided further that, if Netzee participates in creation of such Modifications, Netzee retains its rights to those portions of such Modifications that Netzee creates unless otherwise so agreed in the context of the particular transaction). Both parties agree to perform, during or after term of this Amended Agreement, such further deliveries or execute such further instruments as may be necessary or desirable to transfer, perfect and defend each party's respective ownership rights in the Escrowed Software and any Modifications thereto as contemplated by the Amended Agreement, as requested by either party. Until the occurrence of a "Trigger Event" (defined below), use of the Escrowed Software by the Users shall be limited to the internal business requirements of such Users. Until the occurrence of a Trigger Event (but not thereafter), Bankers Bank agrees not to license, or provide services using, the Escrowed Software to any correspondent bank that is or becomes a licensee of Netzee or of other business organizations licensed or engaged by Netzee with respect to the same or similar software or services. Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event Bankers Bank is further granted the nonexclusive, royalty free rights and licenses to market, distribute, and sublicense, either directly or through resellers, value added resellers, distributors, original equipment manufacturers, and similar entities and/or provide services regarding the Escrowed Software (including any Modifications) to bankers banks in addition to the Host Partner, and to banks which are customers of such other bankers banks, whereupon such further bankers banks and such other banks shall be deemed additional "Users" for purposes of this Agreement.

The Bankers Bank will deliver to Netzee within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar quarter (ending March 31, June 30, October 31, and December 31) a certificate of an officer of Bankers Bank indicating the name and number of Participating Users of Bankers Bank, except that the names (but not the numbers) do not have to be provided in the event Netzee at any time incurs a change of control of Netzee sufficient that the new controlling entity or entities are able to change a majority of the Board of Directors of Netzee, whether by virtue of a merger or consolidation with, a sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, or otherwise. (3) Netzee shall provide the following transition support to one or both Bankers Bank and Host Partner, as they direct: (a) Assistance with delivery of the Software and information described in Paragraph (2) above. (b) Knowledge transfer with regard to status of development of features and options currently included or planned for the Escrowed Software.

(d) Periodic consultation and support with regard to core business processes included in the Escrowed Software, to the extent known and available from Netzee as part of its normal business.

The foregoing support will be provided jointly to Bankers Bank and the Host Partner. The Transition Fee shall be considered earned in equal monthly amounts between June 1, 2000 and February 28, 2001. (4) Except as provided in Paragraphs (3) above and (5) below, Netzee will have no responsibility to provide Services of any nature to Bankers Bank or Participating Users. In no event will Netzee have any continuing obligation to Bankers Bank or Participating Users after February 28, 2001. Bankers Bank and the applicable Participating Users shall hereafter have sole responsibility for creation, testing, implementation and support of the System, and Bankers Bank will hold Netzee harmless from any obligation or liability arising from such operation and activity. The Maintenance Agreement, scheduled to commence March 1, 2001, is terminated. 6 (5) Netzee warrants to Bankers Bank as follows: (a) Netzee owns or has acquired rights to all proprietary interests in the Escrowed Software necessary to grant the rights set forth in this Amendment. This subparagraph (a) shall not supercede any warranty or indemnification of either party previously entered with respect to the ownership or right to license the Escrowed Software or any part thereof. (b) The Escrowed Software is not subject to any lien, security interest, or similar instrument or conveyance that could have the effect of terminating Bankers Bank's license rights hereunder without Bankers Bank's written consent.
