ARTICLE VII - TERMINATION AND

RELATED MATTERS

 

7.1 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, connected with, or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, validity, or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration by a panel of three arbitrators in accordance with and subject to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Following notice of a party’s election to require arbitration, each party will within thirty days select one arbitrator, and those two arbitrators will within thirty days thereafter select a third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree on a third arbitrator within thirty days, the AAA will within thirty days thereafter select such third arbitrator. Discovery as permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure then in effect will be allowed in connection with arbitration to the extent consistent with the purpose of the arbitration and as allowed by the arbitrators. Judgment upon the award rendered in any arbitration may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an enforcement, as the law of the state having jurisdiction may require or allow. During any arbitration proceedings, Aurum will continue to provide Services, and Customer will continue to make payments to Aurum in accordance with this Agreement. The feet that arbitration is or may be allowed will not impair the exercise of any termination rights under this Agreement.

 

7.2 Termination Due to Acquisition. If fifty percent or more of the stock or assets of Customer are acquired by another person or entity, whether by merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, or other similar transaction, then Aurum and Customer will negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions upon which this Agreement may be modified to accommodate such transaction. If the parties are unable to agree upon such modification, either party upon written notice to the other may terminate this Agreement upon the consummation of such acquisition or on a mutually agreeable date thereafter.

 

7.3 Termination for Non-Payment. If Customer defaults in the payment of any charges or other amounts due under this Agreement and fails to cure such default within ten days after receiving written notice specifying such default, then Aurum may, by giving Customer at least thirty days prior written notice thereof, terminate this Agreement as of a date specified in such notice.

 

7.4

Termination for Cause. If either party materially defaults in its performance under this Agreement, except for non-payment of amounts due to Aurum, and fails to either substantially cure such default within ninety days after receiving written notice specifying the default or, for those defaults which cannot reasonably be cured within ninety days, promptly commence curing such default and thereafter proceed with all due diligence to substantially cure the default, then the party not in default may, by

 

9


 

giving the defaulting party at least thirty days prior written notice thereof, terminate this Agreement as of a date specified in such notice.

 

7.5 Termination for Insolvency. If either party becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt, is the subject of any proceedings relating to its liquidation or insolvency or for the appointment of a receiver, conservator, or similar officer, or makes an assignment for the benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors or enters into any agreement for the composition, extension, or readjustment of all or substantially all of its obligations, then the other party may, by giving prior written notice thereof to the non-terminating party, terminate this Agreement as of a date specified in such notice.

 

7.6 Payment Upon Termination. The parties acknowledge that upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, including under Section 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, or 7.5 (but excluding by election by either party not to renew pursuant to Section 2.1 or termination by Customer pursuant to Section 7.4 or 9,5), Aurum will incur damages resulting from such termination that will be difficult or impossible to ascertain. Therefore, prior to such termination and in addition to all other amounts then due and owing to Aurum, Customer will pay to Aurum as reasonable liquidated damages an amount equal to the sum of subsections (a) and (b):

 

  (a) All costs reasonably incurred by Aurum in connection with such termination, including without limitation telecommunication line disengagement expenses and costs of terminating leases on or shipping or storing any Equipment provided to Customer by or through Aurum under this Agreement, plus a twenty-five percent management fee on such costs, plus Aurum’s charges for any Additional Services reasonably requested by Customer for deconversion assistance and Aurum’s then standard charges for the resources utilized to prepare any test or conversion tapes (together, the “Termination Costs”). Aurum may, at its option, invoice Customer for the lesser of (i) Aurum’s good faith estimate of the Termination Costs, or (ii) the aggregate of the charges payable to Aurum pursuant to Article V for the two calendar months preceding the month in which notice of termination is given. If the actual Termination Costs are greater or less than the amount of Aurum’s invoice that is paid by Customer under the immediately preceding sentence, then Customer will pay Aurum, or Aurum will refund to Customer, as the case may be, the difference between the actual Termination Costs and the amount paid.

 

  (b) *** of the total compensation which would have been paid or reimbursed to Aurum under this Agreement during the remainder of its term. The amount of total compensation will be computed by multiplying the total number of months remaining in the Initial Term or the Renewal Term then in effect from the effective date of the termination by the average monthly charge to Customer for Services under this Agreement during the twelve calendar months immediately preceding the calendar month in which notice of termination was given, and multiplying that number by ***. This is expressed mathematically as follows:

 

(Number of months remaining in term) x (average monthly charge for Services during the twelve months preceding notice of termination) x ***

 

If this Agreement has been in effect less than twelve calendar months prior to the giving of the notice of termination, then the parties will compute the amount due under this subsection

 
  [***] Represents material which has been redacted and filed separately with the Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

10


(b) using the average monthly charge for Services made during such lesser number of calendar months. If termination of this Agreement occurs prior to the Operational Date, then the parties will compute the amount due under this subsection (b) assuming that the Operational Date had occurred when scheduled by Aurum and using the average monthly charges reasonably estimated to be paid by Customer.

 

All amounts payable under this Section 7.6 will be invoiced and paid prior to the effective date of such termination and prior to the release of any test tapes or other data of Customer.

 

7.7 Payment Upon Nonrenewal. If Customer gives or receives notice not to renew this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.1, or Customer terminates this Agreement under Section 9.5, Customer will pay to Aurum an amount equal to all amounts then due and payable to Aurum, plus (a) Aurum’s charges for any Additional Services reasonably requested by Customer for deconversion assistance, (b) Aurum’s then standard charges for the resources utilized to prepare any test or conversion tapes, and (c) all other costs reasonably incurred by Aurum in connection with such election not to renew or termination that are described in Section 7.6(a) and that relate to obligations that Customer approved, which extend beyond the then current term of this Agreement or earlier termination date under Section 9.5. All amounts payable under this Section 7.7 will be invoiced and paid prior to the expiration date and prior to the release of any test tapes or other data of Customer.

 

ARTICLE VIII - LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

 

8.1 Limitation of Liability. Section 3.2(d) sets forth Customer’s exclusive remedies for errors in reports or other output provided by Aurum under this Agreement. If Aurum becomes liable to the Customer under this Agreement for any other reason, whether arising by negligence, willful misconduct or otherwise, then (a) the damages recoverable against Aurum for all events, acts, delays, or omissions will not exceed in the aggregate the compensation payable to Aurum pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Agreement for the lesser of the months that have elapsed since the Operational Date or the three months ending with the latest month in which occurred the events, acts, delays, or omissions for which damages are claimed, and (b) the measure of damages will not include any amounts for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages of any party, including third parties, or damages which could have been avoided had the output provided by Aurum been verified before use. Customer may not assert any cause of action against Aurum of which the Customer knew or should have known more than two years prior to such assertion. In connection with the conduct of any litigation with third parties relating to any liability of Aurum to Customer or to such third parties, Aurum will have all rights which are appropriate to its potential responsibilities or liabilities. Aurum will have the right to participate in all such litigation and to settle or compromise its liability to third parties.

 

8.2 Warranty. Aurum will provide the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner.

11


 

WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

8.3 Force Majeure. Each party will be excused from performance under this Agreement, except for any payment obligations, for any period and to the extent that it is prevented from performing, in whole or in part, as a result of delays caused by the other party or any act of God, war, civil disturbance, court order, labor dispute, third party nonperformance, or other cause beyond its reasonable control, including failures, fluctuations or nonavailability of electrical power, heat, light, air conditioning, or telecommunications equipment. Such nonperformance will not be a default or a ground for termination as long as reasonable means are taken to expeditiously remedy the problem causing such nonperformance.

 

8.4 Cross Indemnity. Aurum and Customer each will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other from any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, arising out of (a) the death or bodily injury of any agent, employee, customer, or business invitee of the indemnitor, and (b) the damage, loss, or destruction of any property of the indemnitor.

 

8.5 Reliance on Instructions. Aurum is entitled to rely upon and act in accordance with any instructions, guidelines or information provided to Aurum by Customer, which are given by persons having actual or apparent authority to provide such instructions, guidelines, or information, and will incur no liability in doing so. Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Aurum from any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of or resulting from Aurum acting in accordance with this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE IX - MISCELLANEOUS

1. Section 3.5 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Annual Report and EDP Audit. Aurum agrees to provide the Customer with a current audited financial statement and a copy of its most recent annual report. Aurum will also provide to Customer one copy of Aurum’s most recent independent Data Center EDP audit, at Aurum’s then standard charge for such copy. The independent Data Center EDP audit will be conducted with a frequency and in a manner that is consistent with applicable guidelines issued for the banking industry by federal banking regulators.

 

2. Section 7.6(b) of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

  (b) *** of the total compensation (excluding compensation for Conversion Services and other similar one-time charges) which would have been paid or reimbursed to Aurum under this Agreement during the remainder of its term. The amount of total compensation will be computed by multiplying the total number of months remaining in the Initial Term or the Renewal Term then in effect from the effective date of the termination by the average monthly charge to Customer for Services (excluding charges for Conversion Services and other similar one-time charges) under this Agreement during the twelve calendar months immediately preceding the calendar month in which notice of termination was given, and multiplying that number by ***. This is expressed mathematically as follows:

 

(Number of months remaining in term) x ((average monthly charge for Services during the twelve months preceding notice of termination) minus (charges for Conversion Services and other similar one-time charges during the twelve months preceding notice of termination)) x ***

 

If this Agreement has been in effect less than twelve calendar months prior to the giving of the notice of termination, then the parties will compute the amount due under this subsection (b) using the average monthly charge for Services (excluding charges for Conversion Services and other similar one-time charges) made during such lesser number of calendar months. If termination of this Agreement occurs prior to the

Operational Date, then the parties will compute the amount due under this subsection (b) assuming that the Operational Date had occurred when scheduled by Aurum and using the average monthly charges reasonably estimated to be paid by Customer.

 

3. Except as expressly amended by this Addendum, the Agreement is ratified, confirmed and remains unchanged in all respects and will be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Capitalized terms used in this Addendum will be as defined in the Agreement unless otherwise expressly defined in this Addendum.

 

4. All references to the Agreement will mean as such Agreement is amended hereby and as each may in the future be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time.

 

5. This Addendum supersedes and replaces any prior agreement (written or oral) as to its subject matter. If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Addendum and the terms and conditions of the Agreement or any prior addendum to this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Addendum shall prevail.

 

6. Three (3) original copies of this Addendum will be executed and submitted to Aurum by Customer. This Addendum will become effective as of the date set forth below when Aurum executes this Addendum, Aurum will return one of the executed copies to Customer.

COMPLIANCE ADDENDUM

ADDENDUM NINETEEN

 

THIS COMPLIANCE ADDENDUM by and between Aurum Technology Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business located in Plano, Texas (“Aurum”), and Customer, as identified below, (each of Aurum and Customer, a “party,” and collectively, the “parties”) is made as of the later of the dates on which the parties sign below and is intended by the parties to be an amendment to each and every agreement between the parties relating to Aurum’s providing Customer information technology services.

 

DATA OWNERSHIP & PRIVACY

 

1. All information of Customer (including that of its customers) provided to Aurum by Customer and contained in Aurum’s data files, is the exclusive property of Customer, and Aurum is only the custodian of that information. Except as may be otherwise provided in an agreement (regardless of whether it is called a schedule, addendum, contract, agreement or otherwise), both Aurum and Customer (and, as to both parties, their employees, agents and independent contractors) will receive and hold all information communicated to one by the other or the other’s affiliates, whether before or after the date of an agreement, in strict confidence, will use such information only for purposes of an agreement and will not disclose such information without the prior written consent of the other party. Each party will take all commercially reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure to outside parties of such information including, but not limited to, the terms of an agreement, except as required by legal, accounting or regulatory requirements (including requirements of a Federal or state regulatory authority with jurisdiction over Customer or Customer’s business). If a party is required to disclose any information of the other party in accordance with any such legal, accounting or regulatory requirements, then such party will, unless otherwise prohibited by law, promptly notify the other party of such requirement and will cooperate with such other party (at their expense) in their efforts, if any, to avoid or limit such disclosure (including, without limitation, obtaining an injunction or an appropriate redaction of the information in question). The provisions of this section will survive the expiration or termination of any or all agreement(s).

 

2. Promptly after the termination or expiration of the term applicable to an agreement and the payment to Aurum of all fees and charges due under such agreement, Aurum will, at Customer’s request and expense, return to Customer all of Customer’s information with respect to such terminated or expired agreement in Aurum’s then standard machine-readable format and media. The provisions of this section will survive the expiration or termination of any or all agreement(s).

 

3. Aurum will use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of Customer information (including that of its customers), (b) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information and (c) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any Customer. Aurum will employ and maintain controlled access to systems in its data centers and other facilities where such information is located.

 

4. Customer will inform Aurum prior to creating any connection to the internet or to any third-party computer network if such connection is made from any point on Customer’s computer network that is connected to Aurum’s network. Customer will, prior to making such a connection, first obtain (and Aurum will, at Customer’s request, provide a copy of) the firewall and Internet security policy of Aurum and will abide by the rules contained in it as the same may be amended from time to time to keep current with technology. Customer will be solely responsible for complying with the most current requirements of such policy.

 

BUSINESS CONTINUITY

 

5. Aurum will maintain for its own protection, with carriers that it deems in its sole discretion appropriate and in amounts that it determines in its sole discretion to be adequate, errors and omissions and employee dishonesty coverage for its personnel and insurance coverage for loss from fire, disaster or other causes contributing to interruption of normal services, reconstruction of data file media and related processing costs, additional expenses incurred to continue operations and business interruption to reimburse Aurum for losses resulting from suspension of services due to physical loss of equipment.

 

California Community Bancshares, Inc 12-09-02

  Compliance Addendum Nineteen


6. Each party will develop, maintain and, as necessary in the event of business interruption, execute a business resumption plan and will provide to the other party, its auditors and regulators access to the plan and to plan test results as such other party may reasonably request from time to time, including such information that may be reasonably required to ensure that the plans are compatible. Aurum will not provide access to information of other Aurum customers.

 

7. Each party will be responsible for training its own personnel as required in connection with all applicable contingency planning activities.

 

8. Each party’s contingency planning activities will comply with such of the following regulatory policies as may be applicable to Customer’s business, as the same may be amended or replaced from time to time: (a) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Financial Institution Letter FIL-68-97, dated July 14, 1997; (b) Federal Reserve System Supervision and Regulation, Number SR 97-15, dated May 2, 1997; (c) Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, OCC 97-23, dated May 16, 1997; (d) Office of Thrift Supervision, CEO Ltr 72, dated July 23,1997; and (e) National Credit Union Administration, Letter to Credit Unions No. 97-CU-3, dated April 7, 1997. If compliance with any amendments or replacements of these policies would significantly increase Aurum’s cost of providing products or services, Aurum will be entitled to increase the fees and charges under an agreement by an amount that reflects a pro rata allocation of Aurum’s increased cost among the Aurum customers affected by the change.

 

EXAMINATIONS & AUDITS

 

9. Aurum will provide auditors and inspectors that Customer designates in writing with reasonable access to its facilities during business hours for the limited purpose of performing audits or inspections of Customer’s business. Aurum will provide the assistance to such auditors and inspectors as Aurum deems reasonable. Customer will bear all expenses associated with such audit or inspection and will also compensate Aurum for any services provided in connection with the audit or inspection. Customer will insure that any audit or inspection requested by Customer will be conducted without undue disruption to Aurum’s business or operations. Aurum will not (a) provide access to information of other Aurum customers or (b) permit access to its facilities during such times as Aurum deems that such access would be likely to create undue disruption to its operations.

 

10. Each year during the term of an agreement, Aurum will provide to Customer, at Customer’s request and at no additional charge, one copy of Aurum’s most recent audited financial statements.

 

11. Aurum will provide to Customer, at Customer’s request and at Aurum’s then standard charge, one copy of Aurum’s most recent service auditor’s report, performed pursuant to nationally recognized auditing standards for service organizations, applicable to the services provided by Aurum to Customer.
