(b) If the receiving party or any of its representatives shall be under a legal obligation in connection with an administrative or judicial proceeding to disclose any Confidential Information, the receiving party shall give the disclosing party prompt notice thereof so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order and/or waive the duty of nondisclosure; provided that in the absence of such order or waiver, if the receiving party or any such representative shall, in the opinion of its counsel, stand liable for contempt or be likely to suffer other censure or penalty for failure to disclose, disclosure pursuant to the order of the applicable tribunal may be made by the receiving party or its representatives to the extent necessary to prevent any such finding of contempt or other penalty without liability under this Agreement. If disclosure is necessitated as provided for in this subparagraph, the receiving party shall make every reasonable effort to preserve the secrecy of the Confidential Information and limit the scope of the disclosure, including but not limited to, seeking an appropriate protective order limiting use or disclosure of the information outside the proceeding.

 

4. PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

 

(a) Each party will only use Confidential Information for the benefit of and in furtherance of its relationship with the other party or to assess whether to enter into a mutually beneficial relationship with the other party, and shall not disclose Confidential Information to any third party.

Each party further agrees to promptly notify the other party

 

23


in writing of any unauthorized misappropriation, disclosure or use of the other party’s Confidential Information by any person which may come to its attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by the disclosing party to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, disclosure or use. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit either party’s right to take any action it deems necessary to protect its Confidential Information.

7. TERM / RETURN OF MATERIALS.

 

(a) The obligations under the Agreement shall continue for five (5) years following termination or expiration of the relationship between Provider and Company, or, if no such relationship is formed, for five (5) years following the last communication between Provider and Company in connection with consideration of entering into a mutually beneficial relationship, provided, however, that obligations under this Agreement regarding any information constituting trade secrets (as defined by applicable law) shall continue for as long as the Information in question remains a trade secret.

1 OVERVIEW

 

1.1 Project Background

 

In support of cost-effective development and deployment of a competitive global solution for file delivery and reporting with globally consolidated data, Citigroup will conduct a Global Data Services Pilot (GDSP) with the vendor TRX. The key objective of the GDSP is to determine and establish the capabilities of TRX as a potential provider of services. This will be validated, by asking TRX to consolidate data     *     and accurately map the consolidated data into a Citibank Common Format (CCF) file as well as a sample of Citibank defined “standard” reports.

 

1.2 Project Objective

 

For successful implementation of the GDSP, the following project objectives must be accomplished:

 

    Stream in data and file feeds from sources     *    .

 

    Consolidate and warehouse data into a single, relational, extensible database with standardized data description and formatting.

 

    Create standard output file, per Citibank’s defined format – Citibank Common Format (CCF).

 

    During the GDSP, Citibank will obtain the output file from the vendor. The method of obtaining the output file from the vendor will be via     *    .

 

    Provide basic reporting functionality for the consolidated data from the two processors. The reporting functionality will give the end user limited control to select, view or download standard reports. The GDSP will include four standard reports (samples included in the appendix B).

 

1.3 Benefits to Customer

 

    Successful implementation of the GDSP will greatly improve the time to market of data files and a selection of standard reports to the European based Commercial Cards customers.

 

1.4 Target Market for the Project

 

    The target market for the data files and reports are the Europe based Commercial Cards clients.

 

2 BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS

 

2.1 Requirements Source

 

The requirements for file delivery are based upon the existing input file format for the     *     processors.

* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED


2.2 Requirements - Capabilities/Features/Functions

 

2.2.1  Inbound File Feeds

 

1. The vendor will create an automated, non-reciprocal     *    .

 

2. This entails formulating a methodology to schedule daily collection and homogenization of data from the two processors. File generation, validation and transmission protocols are to have an automated design structure. If required by the vendor, the Technology Team will provide requirements related to how the vendor will receive the data, and within what time frames.

 

3. The file formats for the two processor inbound files will be provided separately to the vendor. For     *    . The vendor must refer to the     *     for details (in soft copy format). (Note:    *     will be upgrading from     *     of their software during     *    . The impacts of this are unknown at this time.) The vendor should note that the nine inbound     *     layouts for each file will be provided as hard copies (soft copy unavailable).

 

4. The vendor will be provided with a point of contact within Citibank for working with the processors. The technology team will make the necessary arrangements to facilitate the communication between the vendor and the processors.

 

2.2.2  Additional Inbound File Feed

 

1. Citibank will provide to the vendor a third input file after the initial files     *     have been consolidated and deemed acceptable. This requirement will demonstrate the vendor’s ability, as the larger project progresses, to adapt quickly, and seamlessly consolidate any additional file feeds as inputs.

 

2. The specifications for this additional file will be provided to the vendor after the completion and successful review of the consolidated database.

 

3. The vendor will be given     *     business days to complete the integration of this file.

 

2.2.3  Data Consolidation and Warehouse

 

1. The vendor will be required to consolidate and warehouse the data from two processors into a     *     with standardized data description and formatting.

 

2. All available data elements from the two processors will have to be stored in the data warehouse constructed by the vendor. The vendor will store similar data from the two processors in a common format. The content of stored data will include     *    .

 

3. Standardization for data exporting will require the conversion of source records into a universal format—Citibank Common Format (CCF) that will be housed within the system. Data manipulation is to be cataloged and cross-referenced in a data dictionary grouped by the respective processor platforms.

 

4. The vendor will ensure that the data is backed up for the two processors for any given date.

 

5. The vendor will ensure that all data exception can be tracked and provided to Citibank in a Citibank desired format (will be specified at a later point).

 

6.

The system must demonstrate the ability to handle the following exceptions:    *    

 

5

 

* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED


 

    *    .

 

2.2.4 Standard Output File - Citibank Common Format (CCF)

 

1. The Citibank Common Format (CCF) will mimic the file layout shown in Appendix 1. with any known deficiencies corrected. The vendor will review this layout and if necessary, provide recommendations for improvements.

 

2.     *    .

 

3.     *    .

 

4.     *    .

 

5.     *    .

 

6.     *    .

 

2.2.5 Additional Output File

 

1. Citibank will provide the specifications to the vendor for an additional output file upon the successful completion of the CCF output file described above. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that vendor has a quick turnaround time in providing additional data output files while meeting accuracy and integrity criteria.

 

2. The vendor will be given     *     business days to complete this file output.

 

2.2.6 Reports

 

1. For the production of reports, the vendor will use data elements from the consolidated database (containing data from the two processors).

 

2. The selection of data elements will be determined by the reports selected for the GDSP.

 

3. The vendor will provide some limited control to the end user for report selection and execution. These include:

 

        *    ;

 

        *    .

 

        *    .

 

4. The vendor will ensure that the end user of reports will not see other users’ data. In other words, the vendor will ensure that data contained in reports are based on     *    .

 

5. For the GDSP, all reports will be in the inherent or the billed currency of the user.

 

6. For the GDSP, the vendor will produce Web based reports that will mimic templates shown in Appendix B. These reports include

 

        *    

 

        *    

 

        *    

 

6

 

* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED


        *    

 

2.3 Critical Success Factors

 

1. The vendor will ensure that the CCF file can settle to (reconcile) input totals (or control totals) for the two processors and paper statements of the customers.

 

2. The vendor will ensure that all output data elements (for CCF file and reports) are populated with the input data elements from the two processors. In other words, no data is lost. The vendor will also ensure that the CCF file format is provided to Citibank upon acknowledgement of completion of the consolidated database.

 

3. The vendor will ensure that the exception data is properly stored and transmitted to Citibank.

 

4. The vendor will ensure that availability of data to the customers is 24x7.

 

5. A third input (processor) file, in addition to     *    , must be successfully incorporated into the database. This will be deemed successful if the CCF and other file are created correctly. This must be completed within     *     business days.

 

6. The vendor successfully develop and output a new file type within     *     business days from receiving the format from Citibank.

 

7. The vendor must demonstrate the ability to display reports in inherent or billed currency.

 

8. This pilot effort will be completed by     *    . (This assumes a begin date of     *    .)

The parties acknowledge that they have received access to such information in confidence, and/or may receive or obtain, further access to information which is not available to the general public, and which must be kept confidential for regulatory, customer relations, competitive or other legitimate business reasons.

 

2. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

 

“Confidential Information” of a party shall ____ any information, technical data or know-how unknown to the public but known to that party including, but not limited to, information relating to trade secrets, hardware, software, screens, specifications, designs, plans, drawings, data, prototypes, discoveries, research, developments, processes, procedures, intellectual property, market research, marketing techniques and plans, business plans and strategies, customer names and other information related to customers, price lists, pricing policies or financial information. “Confidential Information” shall include (i) any analyses, compilations, studies or other materials prepared by the parties, their representatives or employees that embody or reveal any information falling within the definition above; and (ii) any information that the disclosing party obtained from another party under an obligation to maintain its confidentiality. Confidential Information may be disclosed in any form, including but not limited to, oral, demonstrative, written, electronic, graphic or machine-readable form.

 

3. EXCEPTIONS.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither party shall have any obligation with respect to any Confidential Information of the other


party which, as evidenced by tangible records kept in the ordinary course of business: (i) is or becomes generally known to companies engaged in the same or similar businesses as the parties to this Agreement on a non-confidential basis, through no wrongful act or omission of the receiving party or breach of any obligation owed to the disclosing party by any person or entity; (ii) is lawfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party that has no obligation to the disclosing party to refrain from using or disclosing such information; (iii) is known by the receiving party prior to disclosure under this Agreement without any obligation to maintain its confidentiality and such information was not disclosed by the disclosing party under this Agreement; (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to, use of, or reliance on Confidential Information; or (v) is the subject of a written agreement whereby the disclosing party consents to the disclosure or use of such Confidential Information.

If disclosure is necessitated as provided for in this subparagraph, the receiving party shall make every reasonable effort to preserve the secrecy of the Confidential Information and limit the scope of the disclosure, including but not limited to, seeking an appropriate protective order limiting use or disclosure of the information outside the proceeding.

 

4. PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

 

(a) Each party will only use Confidential Information for the benefit of and in furtherance of its relationship with the other party or to assess whether to enter into a mutually beneficial relationship with the other party, and shall not disclose Confidential Information to any third party. Each party agrees to protect Confidential Information from disclosure to anyone other than its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, and subcontractors who have a business-related need to have access to such Confidential Information in connection with permissible uses of Confidential Information, and who have entered into agreements with the receiving party binding them to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement or substantially equivalent measures. Each party further agrees


to promptly notify the other party in writing of any unauthorized misappropriation, disclosure or use of the other party’s Confidential Information by any person which may come to its attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by the disclosing party to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, disclosure or use. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit either party’s right to take any action it deems necessary to protect its Confidential Information.

5. AFFILIATES.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliates” are those companies, existing or future, owning or owned by, either directly or indirectly, or controlling, controlled by or under common control with a party. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Citi” includes Citi Affiliates.

 

6. PUBLICITY.

 

The parties agree not to issue or release any articles, advertising, publicity or other matter relating to this Agreement or mentioning or implying the name of the other party or its Affiliates or the subject matter of this Agreement without the written consent of the other party, except as may be required by law, and then only after providing the other party with an opportunity to review and comment thereon,

 

7. TERM / RETURN OF MATERIALS.

 

(a) The obligations under the Agreement shall continue for three (3) years following termination or expiration of the relationship between Citi and Company, or, if no such relationship is formed, for three (3) years following the last communication between Citi and Company in connection with consideration of entering into a mutually beneficial relationship, provided, however, that obligations under this Agreement regarding any information constituting trade secrets (as defined by applicable law) shall continue for as long as the information in question remains a trade secret.

Each party therefore acknowledges that a disclosing party and/or its Affiliates are entitled to any temporary or permanent injunctive relief necessary to prevent such disclosure or use, or threat of disclosure or use.

 

9. OWNERSHIP.

Confidential Information of Citibank N.A.

 

Citibank Substance Abuse Policy

 

Substance abuse

 

To meet responsibilities to employees, customers, and shareholders, Citibank is committed to a work environment unimpaired by substance abuse,

 

Misusing controlled substances or selling, manufacturing, distributing, possessing, using, or being under the influence of illegal substances on the job or at company-sponsored functions is prohibited.

 

Where warranted, employees using alcohol or controlled substances may be referred for treatment. Employees are required to cooperate fully iii any investigation, and, if warranted, to follow treatment and to remain drug free.

 

Human Resources responsibilities

 

    Contact the Citibank Employee Assistance Program in New York for assistance in managing issues of substance abuse.

 

Supervisor responsibilities

 

    Schedule temporary agency personnel and independent contractors for drug testing as soon as an on-site assignment to the corporation is expected to continue more than 60 days. Drug testing can be done either at the onset of the assignment or at any time during the initial 60 days of the assignment.

 

    Consult with Human Resources to determine appropriate action if an employee demonstrates behavior that poses a danger to the employee or others in the workplace.

 

    Contact Human Resources, Corporate Security, or the local security unit if an employee is Suspected of buying, selling, manufacturing, possessing, or distributing illegal drugs or controlled substances on company premises or at company-sponsored functions.

 

Substance abuse on the job

 

An employee is required to meet with the local Employee Assistance Program (EAP) if the employee reveals a substance abuse problem as a contributing factor to poor performance or if the employee voluntarily reveals use of illegal substances or abuse of


prescription drugs, although job performance hasn’t been an issue or has not been impaired enough to warrant documentation.

 

If an employee demonstrates behavior that poses a danger to the employee or others in the workplace, the supervisor consults with Human Resources. If both the supervisor and Human Resources representative agree it’s the supervisor offers the employee referral to the local EAP.

 

If the employee refuses to meet with the EAP, the employee may be required to have a medical examination. Because this examination is regulated by the Americans with Disabilities Act, Staff Relations must be contacted before requiring the employee to have the medical examination.

 

As a result of the medical examination, testing for substance abuse may be required, provided it’s in accordance with applicable law.

 

Employees undergoing treatment are expected to remain drug free and cooperate in periodic drug testing. Employees who fail to make progress in rehabilitation, don’t remain drug free, or perform unsatisfactory on the job are subject to termination of employment.

 

If the business has a federal contract, there is a legal requirement to notify its contracting agency within 10 days of receiving notice of an employee’s conviction for a criminal drug violation occurring in the workplace. The supervisor should contact Human Resources before notifying any federal agency.

 

Within 30 days of receiving the notice of conviction, the business must take an “appropriate” action with the employee convicted of a workplace-related drug offense. This may include termination of employment or the requirement of satisfactory participation in a drug-rehabilitation program.


Citigroup Information Security Standards

 

Rationale:

 

Information Security is a business risk management issue. To effectively secure Citigroup information, businesses must address seven fundamental questions:

 

    Do we know who is using the service?

 

    Can we control what they do?

 

    Can we ensure the integrity of the information?

 

    Can we prevent unauthorized changes to information?

 

    Can we provide for non-repudiation of a transaction? (Can it be proved that someone performed a transaction?)

 

    Do we know:

 

    If there is a problem?

 

    Soon enough to take appropriate action?

 

    How to minimize/contain the problem?

 

    Can we prevent denial of service?

 

The Citigroup Information Security Policy & Standards will help businesses answer these questions and provide the basis for an effective information security program.

reveals deficiencies under this Agreement, Citi shall have a right to obtain applicable documentation regarding the resolution by Provider of any such deficiencies and shall have the right to inspect the operating practices, records and facilities of Provider, including the data center and any other processing facility, with regard to the resolution of such deficiencies.

 

9. The provisions of the original Section 19 of the Agreement shall become Section 23.

 

10. The provisions of the original Section 19: Sections titled “Force Majeure and Transition shall be deleted.

 

11. A new Section 21 shall be added and titled: “Force Majeure” and read as follows:

 

Force Majeure

 

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Force Majeure Event” shall include only any event, condition or circumstance set forth in the following sentence; provided that such event, condition or circumstance is beyond the control of the Party affected (the “Affected Party”) and that, despite all efforts of the Affected Party to prevent it or mitigate its effects, such event, condition or circumstance prevents the performance by such Affected Party of its obligations hereunder. Only the following events may be considered Force Majeure Events under this Agreement: (i) explosion and fire; (ii) flood, earthquake, storm or other natural calamity or act of God; (iii) strike or other labor dispute; (iv) war, insurrection, acts of terrorism or riot; (v) acts of, or failure to act, by any governmental authority; and (vi) changes in law.

 

Obligations Under Force Majeure

 

If an Affected Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by a Force Majeure Event, to carry out some or all of its obligations under this Agreement, then, during the continuance of such inability, the obligation of such Affected Party to perform the obligations so affected shall be suspended.

 

The Affected Party shall give written notice of the Force Majeure Event to the other Party (the “Unaffected Party”) as soon as practicable after such event occurs (but in no event more than five (5) days), which notice shall include information with respect to the nature, cause and date of commencement of the occurrence(s), and the anticipated scope and duration of the delay. Upon the conclusion of a Force Majeure Event, the Affected Party shall, as soon as possible, take all reasonably necessary steps to resume the obligation(s) previously suspended.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affected Party shall not be excused under this Section 20 for (i) any non-performance of its obligations under this Agreement having a greater scope or longer period than is justified by the Force Majeure Event, or (ii) for the performance of obligations that arose prior to the Force Majeure Event. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring an Affected Parry to settle any strike, lockout or other labor dispute in which it may be involved.

 

7


Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider’s performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement shall not be suspended or excused pursuant to this Section 21 unless Provider has, at all times during the term of this Agreement, maintained acceptable disaster recovery capabilities as required by Section 22 of this Agreement.

 

Extended Force Majeure. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other Party if a Force Majeure Event prevents the other Party from substantially performing its obligations hereunder for a cumulative period of thirty (30) days or more; provided that strikes or other labor disputes shall be disregarded in determining such cumulative period.

 

12. A new Section 22 shall be added as follows:

 

Disaster Recovery Plan

 

Throughout the Term of the Agreement and Work Order, Provider shall maintain a written disaster recovery plan (the “Disaster Recovery Plan”) and the capacity to execute such plan, which plan Provider shall provide to Citi for review and approval by Citi within ten (10) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement or as maybe specified within a particular Work Order, and which such plan shall at all times comply with Citi Information Security Office requirements made known to Provider and applicable law. Under no circumstances shall Provider be excused from implementing the Disaster Recovery Plan in the event of a disaster, except in circumstances of a Force Majeure Event making such implementation impossible. Citi may request additional changes or inclusions be made to the Disaster Recovery Plan as a result of the parties entering into new Work Orders.

 

On an annual basis, upon any material change to such Disaster Recovery Plan or as otherwise requested by Citi, Provider shall provide Citi with a copy of Provider’s most current Disaster Recovery Plan. No change to such Disaster Recovery Plan shall be implemented without Citi’s prior written approval. Provider shall conduct testing of the Disaster Recovery Plan not less frequently than annually (and in any event, upon any material change to the Disaster Recovery Plan) and shall promptly thereafter provide to Citi a detailed report regarding the Disaster Recovery Plan test results.

 

Upon the occurrence of any disaster requiring use of Provider’s Disaster Recovery Plan, Provider shall promptly notify Citi of same, and Provider shall provide to Citi, equal access as Provider’s other customers in the provision of the Services. If Citi reasonably determines that Provider has not or cannot put its Disaster Recovery Plan in place quickly enough to meet Citi’s needs or is otherwise unable to provide equal access to such products or services, in addition to providing Citi with a right of termination under Section 2, Provider shall promptly assist and support Citi in seeking such Services from an alternative source and provide transition assistance as described in Section 2 F.

13. Section 22: Survival shall read as follows:

 

The provisions of this Agreement that by their nature and content are intended to survive the performance thereof, shall so survive the completion and termination of this Agreement.

All other provisions of the Agreement remain unchanged and in full effect.
