Amended and Restated Processing Agreement, dated ____________, 2012, between CSC Logic, Prosper Marketplace, Inc. and Prosper Funding LLC

 

1.2

Changes to Exhibit A.  At any time or times, CSC Logic may revise Exhibit A, and thereby offer additional services, or modify existing services or terminate certain services; provided, however, that PMI agrees to such modifications, and provided that CSC Logic will give to PMI not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days’ notice prior to materially diminishing the services offered.  In addition, CSC Logic may provide other services to PMI on terms and conditions as may be otherwise mutually negotiated and agreed upon between them.

2.

Fees, Charges and Billing.

 

2.1

Payment. As consideration for performing the CSC Logic Services, PMI, among other things, shall pay CSC Logic the fees and expenses as set forth in the Pricing Schedule that is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit B.  CSC Logic shall issue an invoice to PMI on a monthly basis.  The fees and expenses set forth in Exhibit B are stated in U.S. Dollars, and all invoicing and payments hereunder shall also be in U.S. Dollars.  PMI shall pay outstanding invoices within thirty (30) days or incur interest charges of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance.

 

2.2

Taxes.  Except for income taxes levied on CSC Logic’s net income, PMI shall pay or reimburse CSC Logic for all national, federal, provincial, state, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including sales or use taxes, data processing taxes, royalty taxes, property taxes, international withholding taxes (including those in lieu of income taxes), customs or other import or export taxes, value added taxes and amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or to be performed, or payments made or to be made hereunder.    PMI shall not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties or assessments from payments made to CSC Logic under this Agreement.   This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be applicable regardless of the time frame in which the requirement of the payment of such taxes or assessments is asserted (e.g. a deficiency assessment by a taxing authority as a result of an audit after the termination of this Agreement).  Provided, however, CSC Logic will cooperate with PMI to attempt to minimize the amount of taxes and assessments payable by PMI in accordance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations.

 

In the event that a taxing authority or other entity asserts that CSC Logic is responsible for the payment of any taxes, interest or penalties for which PMI is responsible pursuant to this Section, PMI shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless CSC Logic from any and all liability for the payment of such taxes, interest or penalties and any expenses and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by CSC Logic as a result of such assertion.   PMI shall take all reasonable steps, including the posting of a bond, to remove any lien from CSC Logic property, which arises from such assertion.

 

If PMI is a tax exempt entity or if any transaction covered by this Agreement is a tax exempt transaction, PMI will provide a copy of such tax exemption certificate to CSC Logic immediately after the execution of this Agreement.  If PMI has a direct pay certificate that allows the direct payment to the proper taxing authority of PMI’s obligations under this Section, PMI shall provide a copy of such direct pay certificate to CSC Logic immediately upon the execution of this Agreement.

 

In the event that an Exhibit or other attachment to this Agreement specifically provides for the delivery of equipment or other property to PMI for the resale to a third party, and as a result PMI is not responsible for the payment of the taxes and assessments under this Section, PMI shall provide a copy of such resale certificate to CSC Logic immediately upon the execution of this Agreement.

 

PMI warrants and represents that, if applicable, it will provide the following to CSC Logic: a) Tax exempt certificate; b) Direct Pay permit; c) Resale Certificate.

 

2.3

CSC Logic may increase any of the fees and charges as set forth in Exhibit B annually, with such changes to be effective on the anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that the percentage increase for all fees and charges at the time of the increase shall not exceed the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers: All Items, for the most recent twelve (12) month period as most recently published at the time of the increase.

3.

Term of Agreement.

 

3.1

The initial term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date as set forth above and shall continue for a period one (1) year (“Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated by PMI or CSC Logic in accordance with this Agreement.  On the first anniversary of the Effective Date and each anniversary date thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically successively renew for a period of one (1) year each (each a “Renewal Term”) unless (a) earlier terminated by PMI or CSC Logic in accordance with this Agreement, or (b) PMI or CSC Logic gives notice of non-renewal (a “Non-Renewal Notice”) to the non-terminating Parties at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term.

 

3.2

Early Termination.  At any time during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, upon payment of the early termination payment described below, PMI shall have the right to give CSC Logic notice of early termination of this Agreement, which notice shall call for a termination date not earlier than one (1) month after the date of the notice.  The “Early Termination Payment” shall accompany the notice to CSC Logic, and shall be in an amount equal to the product of (a) the average amount invoiced monthly by CSC Logic to PMI pursuant to the Agreement, calculated over the four months preceding such notice of early termination, multiplied by (b) the number of months (not to exceed  twelve  (12)) otherwise remaining between the date of termination and the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term during which such early termination occurs.   Failure to accompany the early termination notice with the early termination payment shall render the early termination notice null and void and of no effect.

 

3.3

Termination for Diminution.  During the sixty (60) day period (the “Review Period”) commencing on PMI's receipt of notice from CSC Logic pursuant to Section 1.2 of a material diminution of services, PMI shall have the option to elect to terminate this Agreement based on such diminution.  If PMI elects to so terminate, it shall provide notice thereof to CSC Logic during the Review Period, which termination shall be effective on the day that CSC Logic's Section 1.2 notice specified as the day upon which the diminution would otherwise take effect.  No Early Termination Payment shall be payable to CSC Logic if PMI elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.3.

4.

Duties of PMI.  So long as this Agreement is in force, PMI warrants and covenants that PMI shall:

 

4.1

furnish or cause to be furnished to CSC Logic in form satisfactory to CSC Logic, all information (the “Data”) as specified by CSC Logic in form and content sufficient for CSC Logic to perform the CSC Logic Duties.  It is understood that PMI shall be solely responsible for completeness and accuracy of the Data and CSC Logic shall not be responsible for errors of any nature attributable to the Data being incomplete or inaccurate;

 

4.2

furnish promptly to CSC Logic copies of all reports, documents, information and input Data required by CSC Logic to implement and furnish the services and products hereunder and such other information as is reasonably requested by CSC Logic from time to time;

pay to CSC Logic when due all charges for its services and products as set forth in this Agreement;

be appropriately licensed to conduct its business in compliance with all legal requirements, and shall cause all policy forms, certificates, endorsements and other appropriate documents to be prepared, approved and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

5.

Limited Liability and Limited Warranty. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES MADE BY CSC LOGIC, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  IN NO EVENT SHALL CSC LOGIC BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF CURRENCY, FUNDS, DATA, PROFITS OR GOODWILL.  CSC LOGIC'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY EITHER PROSPER PARTY TO CSC LOGIC FOR THE SERVICES TO WHICH SUCH BREACH PERTAINS FOR THE THREE (3) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SUCH BREACH.  THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION WILL BE ENFORCED, EVEN IF ANY EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

6.

Correction of Reports.  PMI will give detailed notice to CSC Logic of any error in any report prepared by CSC Logic within three (3) business days after receipt of daily reports, within two (2) weeks after receipt of weekly reports and within thirty (30) days after receipt of all other reports; thereafter, CSC Logic may not have the data to recreate the report.  Failure by PMI to give CSC Logic such notice within the appropriate time period detailing the specific error which is claimed by PMI shall relieve CSC Logic of any responsibility to correct such error and rerun such report.

7.

PMI Materials.

 

7.1

Condition of Materials.  All source material, data and equipment furnished by PMI in order that CSC Logic may perform hereunder must be compatible with CSC Logic's equipment and such material and data must be in good condition for machine processing.  If PMI fails to furnish its Data to CSC Logic in the form and as timely as needed by CSC Logic, CSC Logic will undertake to process such Data within a reasonable time after it is furnished in proper form.  Data submitted by PMI to CSC Logic for processing, and all other data, material and property, shall be transmitted or transported to and from CSC Logic at PMI's expense.  CSC Logic shall not be liable to PMI under any circumstances for the loss or destruction of or damage to any of PMI's Data, material or property in the custody, control or possession of CSC Logic except for the reasonable cost of replacement or restoration.

 

7.2

Customer Privacy and Confidentiality of PMI Data.

 

7.2.1

"Nonpublic Personal Information" shall include all personally identifiable financial information and any list, description or other grouping of consumers, and publicly available information pertaining to them, that is derived using any personally identifiable financial information that is not publicly available, and shall further include all "nonpublic personal information" as defined by federal regulations implementing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, as amended from time to time. "Personally identifiable financial information" means any information a consumer provides to a Party in order to obtain a financial product or service, any information a Party otherwise obtains about a consumer in connection with providing a financial product or service to that consumer, and any information about a consumer resulting from any transaction involving a financial product or service between a Party and a consumer.  Personally identifiable information may include, without limitation, a consumer's first and last name, physical address, zip code, email address, phone number, social security number, birth date, and any other information that itself identifies or when tied to the above information, may identify a consumer.

 

7.2.2

Use of Confidential Information. For as long as Confidential Information is in possession of a Party, such Party shall take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own proprietary information, to prevent the use, duplications or disclosure of Confidential Information, other than, by or to its employees or agents who are directly involved in negotiating or performing this Agreement and who are apprised of their obligations under this Section and directed by the receiving Party to treat such information confidentially, or except as required by law or by a supervising regulatory agency of a receiving Party. No Party shall disclose, share, rent, sell or transfer to any third party any Confidential Information. The Parties shall use Confidential Information only as necessary to perform this Agreement.

 

7.2.3

Return of Information; Indemnity. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, or upon the request of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall promptly return all Confidential Information received in connection with the transaction, and shall promptly destroy such materials containing such information (and any copies, extracts, and summaries thereof) and shall further provide the disclosing Party with written confirmation of such return or destruction upon request. In the event a Party discovers that Confidential Information has been used in an unauthorized manner or disclosed in violation of this Section, the Party discovering the unauthorized use or disclosure shall immediately notify the other  Parties of such event, and the receiving Party shall indemnify and hold the disclosing Party harmless from all claims, damage, liability, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) arising or resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure. In addition, the disclosing Party shall be entitled to all other remedies available at law or equity, including injunctive relief. The provisions of this Section 7.2.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

 

7.2.4

Use of PFL Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2, PFL agrees that PMI may use, retain and disclose without regard to this Section 7.2 (but subject to all applicable laws and any other agreements between them) any Confidential Information of PFL provided by PFL to PMI.

 

7.3

Escrow Agent.   PMI agrees to maintain in escrow all software, manuals, and operating procedures that would be required by CSC Logic to duplicate the operating environment of PMI within a seventy- two (72) hour period.  In addition to the escrow, any related vendor services, naming rights, proprietary hardware, or any other contract or knowledge that would reasonably be required for CSC Logic to continue to operate PMI’s website and all related services, must be documented and made available to CSC Logic.  PMI further guarantees that it will keep all of these above-referenced material and documentation current.  CSC Logic shall be entitled to receive any or all of the above-referenced escrow and related operating elements in the event that PMI has completely ceased all business activities for a period of sixty (60) days or more, or by notification by the lenders or controlling parties of a default event by the PMI.  CSC Logic’s use of the PMI’s property is limited to the CSC Services related to the remaining terms of the receivables or as defined in any agreement between PMI and a lender or other controlling party.

 

7.4

Disposition of PMI Materials. CSC Logic agrees that upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, CSC Logic will return, in accordance with PMI's instructions and in a mutually agreeable format, all of PMI's Data and materials that are not Confidential Information as such term is defined in Section 7.2.1 relating to the services provided by CSC Logic hereunder.  If PMI fails to provide CSC Logic with instructions regarding the return or disposal of such Data within sixty (60) days following such expiration or termination, CSC Logic may dispose of any Data, material or property belonging to PMI.  If, pursuant to such disposal, CSC Logic incurs any expense, PMI shall pay CSC Logic for such reasonable expense upon demand.

8.

Infringement and Capacity.  The performance of either Prosper Party’s duties under this Agreement shall not cause CSC Logic to infringe upon any patent, license, copyright or other proprietary, intellectual or property right, or violate any other right (including but not limited to, the right to royalties or license fees) of any person, partnership, corporation or other entity.  Each Prosper Party also represents and warrants that (i) it is and at all times will be free of any contractual obligation that would prevent it from entering into this Agreement and (ii) CSC Logic's offer to provide services and information hereunder in no way caused, or will cause, or induce, it to breach any contractual obligation.

9.

Confidentiality of CSC Logic Proprietary Information.  Each Prosper Party acknowledges that the designs, specifications, manuals, documentation and other materials related to the services performed and the information produced hereunder by CSC Logic (collectively “Documentation”), and all other systems, programs, designs, specifications, manuals, documentation and other materials which are utilized, developed or made available by CSC Logic in connection with this Agreement (collectively “Other Materials”) are the confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret property and information of CSC Logic or its licensors and shall remain such property and information of CSC Logic or its licensors, both before and after the term of this Agreement.  Neither Prosper Party shall copy, sell, assign, transfer, distribute or disclose all or any part of the Documentation or Other Materials to any other person, partnership, corporation or other entity.  Each Prosper Party shall confine the knowledge and use of the Documentation and Other Materials only to its employees who require such knowledge for use in the ordinary course and scope of their employment.  Each Prosper Party and such employees shall use such Documentation and Other Materials solely in connection with its business purposes which are being addressed by CSC Logic pursuant to this Agreement.  Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, PMI shall promptly return to CSC Logic all property or information which is covered by this Section 9.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties can copy, distribute or disclose Documentation and Other Materials with each other and with the Parties’ employees, provided that such copying, distribution or disclosure is solely for the purpose of fulfilling the sharing Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

10.

No Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for one year after its termination, neither Prosper Party shall (a) attempt to induce an employee or independent contractor of CSC Logic to terminate his or her employment or contract; nor (b) hire or enter into a contract for the services of an employee, independent contractor, or former employee or independent contractor of CSC Logic without first obtaining CSC Logic's written consent, except for former employees or independent contractors whose employment or engagement has been terminated for over six (6) months.

11.

Relationship of the Parties.  The relationship of the Parties to this Agreement is that of independent contractors.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the activities contemplated hereby shall be deemed to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or employer-employee relationship between CSC Logic and either Prosper Party.

12.

Force Majeure.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Party shall be considered in default hereunder or have any liability to any other Party for any failure to perform if such failure arises out of causes beyond the control of such Party.  Such causes include, but are not limited to, acts of God or public enemy, acts of the government acting in any capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, war, terroristic or criminal acts, civil disturbance, riots, rebellion, freight embargoes, degradation of telephone or other communication service or weather conditions.

13.

Default.

 

13.1

Notice and Cure Period, Rights, After Default.  If PMI is not in compliance with Section 4.4, or if PMI shall fail to pay to CSC Logic any amount due hereunder within five (5) days after receipt of the notice that the same is past due, or if either CSC Logic or PMI breaches or fails to comply with any other provision of this Agreement and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof, then CSC Logic or PMI, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be in default and the non-breaching Party shall have the right (i) to terminate this Agreement immediately, and (ii) in addition, but subject to any limitations contained in this Agreement, to pursue any and all rights which may be available to it.  Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve PMI from payment of all amounts of money owed by it to CSC Logic.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as PMI is in default under this Agreement or any other agreement in effect between CSC Logic and PMI, CSC Logic shall have no obligation to perform the CSC Logic Duties while the default continues.

 

13.2

Injunctive Relief.  The Parties acknowledge that if either CSC Logic or either Prosper Party fails to comply with the provisions of Sections 7.2, 9 or 10 hereof, the non-breaching Party may suffer irreparable harm for which there may be no adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, if either CSC Logic or either Prosper Party fails to comply with any provision of said sections, then the non-breaching Party will be entitled immediately to injunctive relief or any other appropriate equitable remedy.  Further, if such failure continues for thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof from the non-breaching Party, then such non-breaching Party shall also have all of the rights available to it as if there was a default under Section 13.1 hereof.

 

13.3

Time for Bringing Suit.  No action may be brought by any Party against the other Parties in connection with this Agreement more than two (2) years after the cause of action arose, except that any action by CSC Logic for nonpayment of any amount of money due to CSC Logic hereunder may be brought at any time subject to the applicable statute of limitations.

 

13.4

Attorney or Collection Fees.  If any Party incurs any cost or fee from an attorney, collection agency or otherwise in attempting to collect any amount due it hereunder, then the non-paying Party shall pay to the collecting Party upon demand the amount of such cost or fee.  Further, in the event of any litigation between the Parties in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred in enforcing this Agreement and any related judgments entered.

 

13.5

No Waiver of Remedies.  The failure by any Party to exercise any option or right upon a default or breach of any of the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed as waiving such right or option at a later date.  Further, all of such rights or options shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any one such right or option shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or option.  No exercise of, or delay or omission to exercise, the rights and powers herein granted shall be held to exhaust the same or be construed as a waiver thereof, and every such right and power may be exercised at any time and from time to time.

14.

New Public Offering.  On commencement of the New Public Offering (and written notification of such given by PMI to CSC Logic (such commencement date being the “Changeover Date”)), this Agreement shall automatically be amended as follows:

 

14.1

Assignment of Rights.  Except as set forth in Sections 14.3 through 14.5, all rights, duties, obligations, covenants, and representations and warranties of PMI hereunder shall be assigned by PMI to, and shall be fully assumed by, PFL.  Upon such assumption, PMI shall be fully released and discharged from any and all such duties, obligations, covenants, representations and warranties to the extent relating to any period, or any acts or omissions, occurring subsequent to such assumption.
