NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the promises, terms and conditions set forth below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as under.

 

I.                To amend the Agreement as follows:

 

1.              Section 1, Definitions and Construction, is hereby amended as follows:

 

A.            Section 1.1, Definitions, is hereby amended as follows:

 

(i)            Section 1.1(i), Change of Control, is hereby deleted in entirety.

 

B.            Section 1.2, References, is hereby amended to append the following provision at the end thereof:

 

“The term “days” refers to calendar days.  “Business Day” means Monday through Friday, excluding any official JPMC holidays.  “Agent” mean third party consultants, outsourcers, contractors and other service providers.  When used in this Agreement, the phrases “represents and warrants” and “represents, warrants and covenants” mean that the representations, warranties, and covenants are deemed given as of the Effective Date and on an ongoing basis throughout the term of this Agreement and throughout each Schedule Term.”

 

C.            Section 1, Definition and Construction, is hereby further amended to include the following new sections:

 

1.5 Schedules

 

The parties will agree on the goods, licensed materials or services that Supplier will provide (each, a “Deliverable”), the prices that JPMC will pay and other transaction-specific terms through schedules to this Agreement (“Schedules”).  Each Schedule will either be (a) a separate document that is signed by both JPMC and Supplier; (b) a proposal or other offer to provide goods or services by Supplier that is accepted by an authorized representative of JPMC via email; or (c) a JPMC purchase order, electronic (e.g., “Procure to Pay”) or otherwise, that is accepted by Supplier and references either this Agreement or a Schedule.  Each Schedule will be deemed to incorporate all of the terms of this Agreement.  If a term in a Schedule conflicts with a term in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail unless the term in the Schedule specifically states that it will prevail. If a term in a Schedule conflicts with a term in a purchase order that is issued pursuant to that Schedule, the provisions of the Schedule will prevail unless the purchase order specifically states that the term in the purchase order shall prevail.  If terms in this Agreement conflict, the term most closely describing the type of transaction giving rise to the issue will prevail.”

 

1.6 Entities Entering into Schedules

 

JPMC or any of its Affiliates (each, a “JPMC Entity” and collectively, “JPMorgan Chase & Co.”) may enter into Schedules.  The term “Affiliate” means an entity owned by, controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, directly or indirectly, a party.  For this purpose, one entity “controls” another entity if it has the power to direct the management and policies of the other entity (for example, through the ownership of voting securities or other equity interest, representation on its board of directors or other governing body, or by contract).  The benefits of any Schedule extend to the JPMC Entity that signs the Schedule and to other JPMC Entities, customers, employees, suppliers, business partners and divested companies (each, a “Recipient”).”

 

1.7 Each Schedule Is a Separate Agreement

 

Each Schedule will be a separate agreement between Supplier and the JPMC Entity that signs the Schedule.  All subsequent references to “JPMC” in this Agreement will be deemed references to the JPMC Entity that signed the Schedule.  Only the JPMC Entity and Supplier entity that signs a Schedule will be liable for such JPMC/Supplier Entity’s obligations under that Schedule.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Schedule, in no event will any JPMC Entity that is a bank be deemed to be a guarantor of, or otherwise liable for, any performance or payment obligation of any other JPMC Entity in connection with this Agreement or any Schedule.”

 

1.8 Schedule Term

 

A Schedule may state a term for that Schedule (the “Schedule Term”).  A Schedule that does not state a Schedule Term will be effective from its effective date until the termination of this Agreement, unless otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement or the Schedule.  Unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Schedule, following the Schedule Term stated in any Schedule, JPMC will have the right to renew the Schedule Term with respect to services for up to five additional one year renewal terms.”

 

1.9 Country Specific Terms

 

JPMC and Supplier agree that outside of the United States, the Deliverables may be subject to mutually acceptable country unique terms and conditions which may require amending or supplementing this Agreement as appropriate.

 

2



 

To the extent possible, the JPMC Entity located outside of the United States will order Deliverables directly from Supplier entity in the applicable country. Supplier entity in the applicable country will supply the Deliverables and invoice such JPMC Entity in local currency and such JPMC Entity will pay Supplier entity in the applicable country in local currency.”

 

2.              Section 2, Services, is hereby amended as follows:

 

A.            Section 2.4, Applicable Laws; Country-Specific Legal and Regulatory Requirements, is hereby amended to be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(b)         To the extent Supplier is providing, serving, or hosting Internet, email or portable device ready user interface elements or functionality, Supplier represents and warrants that such elements and functionality will conform to the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Version 2.0 Level A & AA Success Criteria, as well as any state or federal laws applicable to Internet, email or portable device accessibility including, but not limited to, the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act.

 

(c)          To the extent any Supplier Personnel are performing any services within the United States or any territory to which U.S. immigration Laws apply, Supplier represents, warrants and covenants that, during the Schedule Term of any applicable Schedule (i) Supplier and all applicable subcontractors will comply with all (x) U.S. immigration Laws, including but not limited to the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986; and (y) Laws, regulations, orders, and policy guidance relating to all forms of work authorization such as H-1B and L-1 visas, including guidance from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service on H-1B visas and third-party site placements; (ii) all Supplier Personnel assigned to a JPMC U.S. location shall have valid, unexpired work authorization; and (iii) Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification has been completed for all Supplier Personnel assigned to a JPMC U.S. location and I-9s with expiring work authorizations shall be re-verified as necessary.”

 

B.            Section 2, Services, is hereby further amended to include the following new sections:

 

2.7Timing of Services

 

Supplier will begin providing the Services on the date specified in the applicable Schedule.  If the Schedule does not specify a start date, Supplier will begin providing the Services on the effective date of the applicable Schedule.  Supplier will complete the Services on the date(s) specified in the Schedule.  If the Schedule does not specify completion date(s), Supplier will complete the Services in a timely manner.

“2.10 Termination Assistance for Critical Services

 

In addition to the general provisions for termination assistance services in this Agreement, for all Critical Services, Supplier agrees that:

 

(a)         Disengagement Plan.

 

Supplier will, within 90 days after the commencement of Services provide to JPMC for its approval a draft plan for the disengagement and transfer of the Services upon the expiration or termination of the Services (upon approval, the “Disengagement Plan”). Supplier will ensure that the Disengagement Plan:  (i) specifies Supplier Key Personnel and other resources that will be used to perform Termination Assistance Services; (ii) provides an estimate of

incremental fees for the additional resources, if any, required to provide the Termination Assistance Services; (iii) specifies substantially all things necessary to efficiently carry out the Termination Assistance Services; and (iv) sets out a timetable and process for the Termination Assistance Services that will enable JPMC to have completed disengagement as quickly as reasonably possible without materially disrupting the quality of the Services and without limiting Supplier’s obligation to meet any applicable services levels during the Termination Assistance Period.

 

Supplier will provide updates to the Disengagement Plan during the Schedule Term as necessary to take into account changes to the Services and submit the updates to JPMC for approval.  Upon approval the updates will be incorporated into the Disengagement Plan.

 

(b)         Termination Assistance Services.

 

“Termination Assistance Services” means (i) the Services to the extent JPMC requests the Services during the Termination Assistance Period, (ii) Supplier’s cooperation with JPMC or another supplier designated by JPMC in the transfer of the Services; and (iii) any other services requested by JPMC in order to facilitate the transfer of the Services to JPMC or another supplier designated by JPMC. In addition to the general provisions for termination assistance service in this Agreement, Supplier will, upon the expiration or termination of the applicable Schedule, provide the Termination Assistance Services in accordance with the Disengagement Plan.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Termination Assistance Services will be provided at the applicable rates set forth in the applicable Schedule(s) or, if the applicable rates are not set forth in the Schedule(s), at Supplier’s rates then in effect for like services immediately prior to the expiration or termination of the applicable Schedule, except to the extent that resources included in the fees being paid by JPMC to Supplier after expiration or termination of the applicable Schedule can be used to provide the Termination Assistance Services.

 

(c)          Termination Assistance Period.

 

“Termination Assistance Period” (i) means a period of time designated by JPMC commencing on the date JPMC delivers to Supplier a notice of intent to terminate the applicable Schedule, or (ii) where no such time is so designated, means the period between the effective date of the termination notice and the 120th day after the effective date of the termination of the applicable Schedule. In any event, during the Termination Assistance Period Supplier will provide the Termination Assistance Services in accordance with this Section. The quality and level of performance of the Services during the Termination Assistance Period will not be degraded as compared to the quality and level of performance of the Services prior to the Termination Assistance Period.  After the expiration of the Termination Assistance Period, Supplier will (i) answer questions from JPMC regarding the terminated Services on an “as needed” basis at Supplier’s then standard billing rates and (ii) deliver to JPMC any remaining JPMC owned reports and documentation relating to the terminated Services still in Supplier’s possession.”

 

“2.12 Exit Rights

 

Upon the later to occur of (a) the expiration or termination of the applicable Schedule or (b) the last day of any Termination Assistance Period (the “End Date”), (i) the access right, if any, granted to Supplier and Supplier Personnel to JPMC networks or computing systems will immediately terminate; and (ii) if and to the extent the applicable Schedule gives JPMC license rights, Supplier will deliver to JPMC a copy of any software in the form in use as of the End Date, which JPMC has such rights.”

Supplier will (i) not terminate, reassign or otherwise remove from providing the Services or Termination Assistance Services any Affected Supplier Personnel; and (ii) to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, provide JPMC and its designees full access to the Affected Supplier Personnel to the extent such access does not adversely impact Supplier’s delivery of the Services or Termination Assistance Services to JPMC.”

 

“2.14 Complaints

 

If Supplier receives any communication from or on behalf of a JPMorgan Chase & Co. customer indicating a complaint with respect to Supplier’s Services or other Deliverables, JPMorgan Chase & Co. or any JPMorgan Chase & Co. product or service (whether or not related to any Services or other Deliverables), Supplier will report that communication to JPMC and take only such actions as reasonably requested by JPMC or as set forth in the

 

4



 

applicable Schedule with respect to the reporting and other handling of complaints.  Any such communications will be deemed JPMC Confidential Information.”

 

3.              Section 4, Covenants and Obligations of the parties, is hereby amended to append the following provision at the end of Section 4.1 (b) Financial Reports thereof:

 

“Further, JPMC may use any Supplier information already in JPMC’s possession, whether received as a result of this Agreement or any other relationship Supplier has with JPMC.  Supplier will promptly notify JPMC of any material adverse changes in Supplier’s financial stability.”

A.            Section 5.2 (d), is hereby deleted in its entirety.

 

B.            Section 5.2 (f), is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

C.            Section 5.5, Supplier Personnel’s Compliance with JPMC Requirements, is hereby amended to be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

5.5 Fingerprinting; Drug Testing; Background Checks of Supplier Personnel

 

(a)         As a participant in a highly regulated industry, JPMC has certain requirements (as may be amended from time to time by JPMC, the “JPMC Requirements”) that will apply to Designated Supplier Personnel.  There are two types of Designated Supplier Personnel:  Category I Designated Supplier Personnel and Category II Designated Supplier Personnel.  Category I Designated Supplier Personnel and Category II Designated Supplier Personnel are collectively referred to as “Designated Supplier Personnel”.  Supplier represents, warrants and covenants that it will not assign any Designated Supplier Personnel to JPMC if such person has been convicted of, pled guilty or no contest to, or participated in a pre-trial diversion program for felony or multiple misdemeanor offenses involving crimes of dishonesty or breach of trust including theft; money laundering; embezzlement; or the manufacture, sale, distribution of, or trafficking in drugs or controlled substances or criminal conspiracy.  Supplier will comply with all JPMC Requirements (where permitted by applicable Law) and agrees that all assignments of Designated Supplier Personnel made pursuant to this Agreement or any applicable Schedule will be made in accordance with the JPMC Requirements.

(d)         If, at any time, JPMC determines, in its sole discretion, that any Category II Designated Supplier Personnel has or will have access to any highly sensitive JPMC Data, JPMC may, upon notice to Supplier convert the relevant Category II Designated Supplier Personnel to Category I Designated Supplier Personnel and the JPMC Requirements for Category I Designated Supplier Personnel specified in Section 5.5(f) below will apply as of the date of Supplier’s receipt of such notice from JPMC, Supplier having a reasonable period of time to comply with JPMC Requirements.

 

(e)          Any Designated Supplier Personnel who do not successfully meet or comply with any of the then-current JPMC Requirements will not be assigned, or if applicable, will not continue in an assignment, to provide Services to JPMC and Supplier will promptly replace such Designated Supplier Personnel at no additional charge to JPMC; provided, however, such failure to meet or comply with any of the applicable JPMC Requirements will not affect such individual’s eligibility for employment with Supplier or any Supplier subcontractor, as the case may be.

 

(f)           The JPMC Requirements require that on or before the first day of the assignment, all Category I Designated Supplier Personnel:

 

(i)             Accurately complete, sign and submit to Supplier a JPMC Pre-Assignment Statement (a current copy of which is located at http://www.jpmorganchase.com/corporate/About-JPMC/supplier-personnel-policies.htm or is otherwise available from JPMC upon request).  Supplier will retain original signed copies of each executed JPMC Pre-Assignment Statement and, upon JPMC’s request, Supplier will promptly deliver to JPMC original signed copies of each such document.  If any Category I Designated Supplier Personnel answers questions three or four in the Pre-Assignment Statement in the affirmative, Supplier will report this fact to JPMC prior to such Category I Designated Supplier Personnel’s first day of assignment for review and consideration by JPMC with the understanding that JPMC may require Supplier to assign different Category I Designated Supplier Personnel based on this information.  The affirmative answers of all Category I Designated Supplier Personnel to questions five and six of the Pre-Assignment Statement will be reported to JPMC prior to such Category I Designated Supplier Personnel’s first day of assignment for use in conjunction with JPMC-administered background checks, Supplier acknowledging that JPMC may require Supplier to assign different Category I Designated Supplier Personnel based on this information;

 

(ii)          Submit to fingerprinting (at a location designated by JPMC) in accordance with the then-current JPMC Fingerprinting Policy (a current copy of which is located at http://www.jpmorganchase.com/corporate/About-JPMC/supplier-personnel-policies.htm or is otherwise available from JPMC upon request); provided, that if any fingerprints are not readable then the relevant Category I Designated Supplier Personnel will submit to an alternative form of background check as required by JPMorgan Chase & Co., all at JPMC’s sole cost and expense;

 

(iii)       Submit to and successfully pass a drug test (administered by Supplier or a third party hired by Supplier, in each case at Supplier’s sole cost and expense) that complies with the then-current JPMC Drug Testing Policy (a current copy of which is located at http://www.jpmorganchase.com/corporate/About-JPMC/supplier-personnel-policies.htm or is otherwise available from JPMC upon request);

 

(iv)      Agree to have his/her photograph taken; and

 

(v)         Agree to complete privacy and data protection training, subject to local employment law, as required and as defined by the JPMC line of business or corporate group engaging the Category I Designated Supplier Personnel.

(i)             Will have been submitted to and passed a background check (including criminal background checks) conducted by Supplier or a third party vendor contracted by Supplier (“Supplier Background Checks”).  As between Supplier and JPMC, Supplier is solely responsible for all expenses associated with such Supplier Background Checks.  Upon request, Supplier will provide JPMC with the written policies and procedures governing such Supplier Background Checks.  The Supplier Background Checks will, if permitted by law, at a minimum, meet the national standards for employment screening as set forth in the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), as updated from time to time and include, at a minimum, a certification of county, state & federal criminal records, national criminal database records, international criminal records searches, social security number validation, OFAC and other prohibited parties searches and sex offender registry searches.  In the event of a conflict between the

 

6



 

FCRA and any state law (including state labor codes and guidelines), the more thorough requirements will govern.  Supplier will not provide the detailed results of the Supplier Background Checks to JPMC.  No less than quarterly, Supplier will review the roster of current Category II Designated Supplier Personnel and ensure that each one passed the Supplier Background Checks.

 

(ii)          Agree to complete privacy and data protection training consistent with Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to Personal Information, subject to local employment law.”

D.            Section 8.6, Audit of Fees, is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

8.6, Audit of Fees

 

Upon JPMC’s request with reasonable notice, Supplier will permit, for each Schedule, technical, financial and operational audits of Supplier and its Affiliates, related to the subject matter of this Agreement as applicable to each Schedule, by the internal and external auditors and personnel of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and regulators (collectively, “Auditors”).  Audits by internal or external auditors and personnel of JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not occur more than twice in any calendar year per Schedule unless such audit is materially different in scope from a preceding audit or JPMC has a good faith belief that Supplier is in material breach of the Agreement.  During each audit, Supplier will grant the Auditors reasonable access to Supplier’s books, records, third-party audit and examination reports, systems, facilities, controls, processes, procedures, service level measurement systems, and actual service levels to the extent related to a reasonable assessment of Supplier’s performance of its obligations to JPMC.  Supplier will, in a timely manner, fully cooperate with the Auditors and provide the Auditors all assistance as they may reasonably

request in connection with the audit.  The Auditors will seek to avoid disrupting Supplier’s operations during the audit.  If the Auditors document either an overcharge of the fees for the audited period or a material breach of Supplier’s obligations, Supplier will promptly (a) reimburse JPMC for its reasonable cost of performing the audit if the overcharge is more than two percent of the fees for the audited period, (b) reimburse JPMC for any overcharge (c) promptly correct any identified breach, and (d) such audit shall not be counted for the purposes of the limitation in the second sentence above.”

 

E.            Section 8, Payments to Supplier, is hereby amended to include the following sections:

 

8.7 Payments

 

All payments will be made in U.S. Dollars.  JPMC will pay all undisputed amounts on each invoice within 45 days after JPMC’s receipt of an accurate invoice, i.e., an invoice showing only undisputed amounts.  JPMC will have no obligation to pay any charges and expenses that Supplier fails to invoice to JPMC within 120 days after the charges or expenses were incurred.”

 

“8.8Expenses

 

Only when agreed to in the applicable Schedule will JPMC pay reasonable and actual (meaning without mark-up or administrative fee), pre-approved in writing travel and communications expenses (for which Supplier can provide receipts) incurred by Supplier to perform services under this Agreement and only in accordance with the JPMorgan Chase Supplier Travel and Expense Policy (a current copy of which is located at http://www.jpmorganchase.com/corporate/About-JPMC/travel-policy.htm or is otherwise available from JPMC upon request).  For the avoidance of doubt, JPMC will benefit from any rebates provided to Supplier by the travel and communications service providers regardless of whether they are reflected on the receipts or are applied at some other time.  If JPMC reimburses for meals or entertainment costs incurred by Supplier, any Internal Revenue Code Section 274 limitation on deductibility of the costs will be assumed by Supplier, not JPMC.”

 

“8.9 Credits

 

Any undisputed credits due to JPMC will be applied on the next invoice for the applicable Schedule against amounts then due and owing.  If any credit is due to JPMC after the termination or expiration of the applicable Schedule, Supplier will pay the amount of the credit to JPMC within 30 days after such termination or expiration.  All credits will be credited or paid in U.S. Dollars only.”

 

“8.10 Right to Set Off

 

JPMC will have the right to set off undisputed amounts owed by Supplier or any of Supplier’s Affiliates to JPMorgan Chase & Co. against amounts payable under this Agreement, if Supplier agrees in writing that such amount is due and payable to JPMC.”

The forgoing warranty shall not apply to the extent the defect is caused by (i) JPMC’s hardware malfunction, environment or infrastructure, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Supplier, (ii) third party software not licensed through Supplier, (iii) the installation of the Deliverable in a hardware or operating environment not expressly stated in the applicable Schedule; (iv) modification to the Deliverables (other than by Supplier), (v) failure of any assumption agreed by the parties, of (vi) the non-performance of JPMC of its obligations under any Schedule.”

“12.6 Adequate Assurances

 

With respect to any Schedule to be entered into between a JPMC Entity and a Supplier Affiliate, the JPMC entity may request and Supplier shall provide, contemporaneous with the execution of the applicable Schedule, an adequate assurance of such Supplier Affiliate’s ability to deliver the Deliverables in the form of a parent guarantee, letter of credit or performance bond (each, an “Assurance Document”) acceptable to the JPMC Entity in its reasonable discretion.

Notwithstanding the above, Supplier shall have no obligation under this Subsection 12.1or other liability for any infringement or misappropriation claim resulting or alleged to result from: (1) third party software not licensed by Supplier or if the Deliverable has been modified or altered by any person or entity other than Supplier without the written approval of Supplier (such writing may include Documentation and comments to the source code); (2) any aspect of JPMC software, documentation or data which existed prior to

 

10



 

Supplier’s performance of Services; or (3) JPMC continuing the allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof and provided with modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement.  This Subsection 12.1sets forth the exclusive remedy and entire liability and obligation of Supplier with respect to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims, including patent or copyright infringement claims and trade secret misappropriation.

 

13.2  Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a)   If any Claim is commenced against any Party entitled to indemnification under this Article 12 (“Indemnified Party”), written notice thereof shall be given to the Party that is obligated to provide indemnification (“Indemnifying Party”) promptly upon receipt of the Claim by the Indemnified Party.  Failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has actually been materially and adversely affected as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give notice if such Indemnified Party failed to give prompt notice).  To the extent received, the Indemnified Party shall make reasonable efforts to deliver copies of all notices and documents related to the Claim, including court papers, to the Indemnifying Party within five (5) business days of the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof.

 

(b)   After such notice, if the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing to such Indemnified Party that this Agreement applies with respect to such Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, in a notice delivered to the Indemnified Party not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which a response to such Claim is due, to immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim and to select and engage attorneys reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense.

 

(c)   The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate, through the Indemnified Party’s own attorneys or otherwise, in such investigation, trial and defense of such Claim; and any appeal arising therefrom.  The Indemnifying Party will bear the costs of counsel engaged by the Indemnified Party by reimbursing the Indemnified Party, as such costs are incurred and upon request therefor, if: (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest that would preclude such counsel from representing the Indemnified Party or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to engage counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of a Claim.

 

(d)   If the Indemnifying Party does not assume full control over the defense of a Claim subject to such defense as provided in this Section 13.3 (Indemnification Procedures), the Indemnifying Party may participate in such defense, at its sole cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party will bear the costs incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith by reimbursing the Indemnified Party, as such costs are incurred and upon request therefor.

 

(e)   Supplier shall not settle any claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, whether or not JPMC is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding without JPMC’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, JPMC may withhold, delay and/or condition its consent to any settlement of a Claim, in JPMC’s sole and absolute discretion, if:

 

(1)   such settlement: (A) involves a remedy other than the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party, (B) affect any rights of JPMC, including any rights with respect to the Work Product, (C) impose any actual liability upon JPMC, or (D) contain or imply (1) a factual admission by or with respect to JPMC, (2) any adverse statement or implication with respect to the character, professionalism, due care, loyalty, expertise, or reputation of JPMC, or (3) any wrongful action or inaction by JPMC; or

 

11



 

(2)   Supplier and all plaintiffs or claimants do not affirmatively and unconditionally absolve and release JPMC from any responsibility or liability with respect thereto and the subject matter thereof and any responsibility or liability with respect to the same, similar, or related facts or circumstances.

 

(f)    If JPMC is enjoined, or is otherwise prohibited, from using Deliverable or Documentation (or any part thereof) as a result of or in connection with any claim under Section 12.1, Supplier promptly shall, at its sole expense and in the following order of precedence: (i) procure for JPMC the right to continue to use the Deliverable or Documentation; (ii) modify the Deliverable or Documentation so that it becomes noninfringing and nonviolative, without diminishing the functionality or performance of the Deliverable or Documentation or (iii) replace the Deliverable or Documentation with software and documentation that are noninfringing and nonviolative with equivalent functionality and performance.  If Supplier cannot, after using its best commercial efforts to do so within a reasonable period of time, so procure, modify or replace the Deliverable or Documentation, the Supplier shall terminate the applicable Schedule with respect to the Deliverable or Documentation involved and promptly refund to JPMC the fees for the Deliverable or Documentation involved under such Schedule.

(b)   Unless and until JPMC is satisfied that Supplier is fully complying with this Section, Section 18.5 and Section 20, JPMC will not be bound by any obligation to allow Supplier access to JPMC Data.  Any breach of this Section 18.3, 18.5 and Section 20 that is not corrected within 30 days after JPMC gives Supplier a notice describing the breach will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement (even if the breach was not otherwise material).

Supplier will provide JPMC a written description of all DRBCP test results in sufficient detail to allow JPMC to assess the success of each test. Supplier will also participate and otherwise cooperate with JPMC, as reasonably requested by JPMC, in connection with JPMC’s development and testing of JPMC’s own disaster recovery and business continuity plans.

 

(d)   Upon the occurrence of any disaster or other event requiring use of the DRBCP, Supplier will promptly:  (i) notify JPMC of the disaster or other event and (ii) provide JPMC and each Recipient access to the Services in a manner that is at least equal to the access provided to Supplier’s other customers.  If JPMC determines that Supplier has not complied or cannot comply with the provisions of this Section or implement the DRBCP quickly enough to meet JPMC’s needs, Supplier will promptly assist and support JPMC in obtaining the Critical Services from an alternate provider.”

 

E.            Section 18, Security; Information Technology Control Policies is hereby further amended to include the following additional section:

 

18.10 Compliance with Procedures in Performance of Services

Supplier Code of Conduct, JPMorgan Chase & Co. Supplier Anti-Corruption Policy, compliance with applicable Laws and the proper provision (including as may be otherwise described in this Agreement or the applicable Schedule) of Services and other Deliverables.  If JPMC so requests, based on a reasonable belief that any Supplier Personnel has breached any of the foregoing obligations, Supplier will immediately, within 24 hours, remove any such Supplier Personnel from performing Services to JPMC.”

14.       The following additional provisions are included by way of this Amendment:

 

A.            “20 Data Handler Terms

 

20.1 Grant of License to Use JPMC Data; Obligation to Notify JPMC

 

JPMC hereby grants Supplier a limited license to use the JPMC Data solely to perform Supplier’s obligations to JPMC during the Schedule Term.  Supplier will not use JPMC Data to contact any person except if required by any applicable Law and in accordance with this Agreement, provided, however, that in no event will any such contact involve marketing or solicitation of products or services. JPMC reserves all other rights in the JPMC Data.  Supplier will immediately notify JPMC of any actual or reasonably suspected unauthorized access to or use of the JPMC Data under Supplier’s control and Supplier will include with that notice the reasonably expected impact that the breach or access may have on any JPMC Entity or its customers.  Supplier will cooperate fully with JPMorgan Chase & Co. to investigate any such unauthorized access.

 

20.2 Protection of JPMC Data in the Event of Data Handler Bankruptcy

 

If Supplier undergoes any of the events described in Section 16.4, JPMC will have the immediate right to take possession of and retain for safekeeping all JPMC Data then in Supplier’s possession or under Supplier’s control.  JPMC may retain the JPMC Data until the trustee or receiver in bankruptcy or other appropriate court officer provides JPMC with adequate assurances and evidence that the JPMC Data will be protected from sale, release, inspection, publication or inclusion in any publicly accessible record, document, material or filing.  Supplier and JPMC agree that this Section is a material term of this Agreement, and without it, JPMC would not have entered into this Agreement or permitted any access to or use of JPMC Data.

 

20.3 Regeneration of JPMC Data by Data Handler

 

Supplier will promptly replace or regenerate from Supplier’s machine-readable media any data, programs or information stored by Supplier that Supplier has lost or damaged or obtain a new copy of the lost or damaged data, programs or information.  Alternatively, if Supplier breaches this Section 20.3 and is unable to replace or regenerate such data, programs or information JPMC may replace or regenerate any data, programs or information that Supplier has lost or damaged or obtain a new copy of the lost or damaged data, programs or information, in which case, Supplier will promptly reimburse JPMC for all reasonable costs associated with its regeneration or replacement efforts.

 

20.4 Storage, Return or Destruction of JPMC Data

 

Supplier will accurately and completely collect and maintain information regarding the storage location, media, and method of storage of all JPMC Data on an ongoing basis.  Unless expressly set forth in the applicable Schedule, if Supplier stores JPMC Data (including any and all copies, whether in production, backup or archival) it will do so on media logically and physically separate from other media used to store data of other Supplier clients.  Further, in addition to the return and/or destruction obligations under Section 11.5, with respect to JPMC Data, prior to termination of the applicable Schedule, or on a date otherwise reasonably specified by JPMC, Supplier will:  (a) meet with JPMC representatives to prepare and implement a plan for the return of all JPMC Data (in a format reasonably requested by JPMC); and (b) return to JPMC all JPMC Data as requested by JPMC.  To the extent applicable record retention Laws require Supplier to have access to JPMC Data after termination or expiration of the applicable Schedule or JPMC’s request for return or destruction, unless expressly set forth in an applicable Schedule, Supplier will provide those requirements to JPMC.  Additionally, upon JPMC’s written direction, Supplier will either:  (i) Securely Delete electronic JPMC Data from all media within 10 Business Days of that direction or (ii) to the extent that JPMC Data is in a form or media other than electronic, comply with JPMC’s written instructions to Securely Delete that JPMC Data.  Within 15 Business Days of that direction, Supplier will cause an officer of Supplier to certify to JPMC in writing that Supplier has complied with its obligations under clause (i) and (ii), as the case may be, including in compliance with JPMC’s instructions.  To the extent that JPMC Data cannot be so Securely Deleted due to technical or other reasons reasonably acceptable to JPMC, and to the extent JPMC expressly agrees in writing, Supplier will promptly provide a written description of measures to be taken that will ensure, for as long as any JPMC Data remains under Supplier’s or its subcontractors’ control, the continued protection of such JPMC Data, in compliance with the requirements of Section 20 and Section 11.  “Securely Delete” means using any and all means (including shredding or incineration in compliance with the National Institute for Standards and Technology (“NIST”) 800-88 standard) of deleting all data and information to ensure that the data and information deletion is permanent and cannot be retrieved, in whole or in part, by any data or information retrieval tools or similar means in accordance with JPMC’s prior written instructions. In no event will Supplier remove or have removed any JPMC Data from Supplier’s or any subcontractor’s site without JPMC’s prior written authorization.

 

18



 

20.5 Survival of Data Handler Terms

 

The terms set forth in Section 20 will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Schedule for any reason.

 

20.6 Allocation of Risk

 

The limitations of liability and disclaimers in this Agreement will not apply to any breach of Section 20.”

 

B.            21 Testing, Correction and Acceptance

 

Each Deliverable will be subject to acceptance by JPMC as follows:

 

21.1 Acceptance Testing

 

After a Deliverable has been delivered, installed and configured and is ready for production in Recipient’s environment in accordance with Section 22.1(c), JPMC will have 45 days (or another time period as may be agreed in writing by the parties in the applicable Schedule) (the “Acceptance Testing Period”) to verify that the Deliverable is in Compliance.  Supplier will provide all reasonable assistance to JPMC or Recipient in connection with this testing.

 

21.2 Correction

 

If, during the Acceptance Testing Period, JPMC or a Recipient finds that a Deliverable is not in Compliance, JPMC will describe to Supplier in reasonable detail why the Deliverable is not in Compliance.  Within five Business Days (or another time period as may be agreed in writing by the parties in the applicable Schedule) after receipt of that description (the “Correction Period”), Supplier will, at no additional cost to JPMC, render the Deliverable in Compliance.  If Supplier fails to render the Deliverable in Compliance within the Correction Period, JPMC may (a) extend the Correction Period; or (b) terminate the applicable Schedule, in whole or in part, for material breach immediately by notice.

 

21.3 Acceptance

 

(a)         Notice of Acceptance

 

If JPMC determines that a Deliverable is in Compliance, JPMC will notify Supplier that the Deliverable has been accepted (“Acceptance” or “Accepted”).  Acceptance will be implied:  (i) if Supplier gives JPMC notice after the Acceptance Testing Period requesting JPMC provide a formal notice of Acceptance and JPMC fails to respond within five Business Days; or (ii) if JPMC puts the Deliverable into full production for 15 Business Days.  Acceptance will not be implied from any other event.  Thus, for example, Acceptance will not be implied if JPMC uses the Deliverable in limited production, authorizes work on subsequent Deliverables, or makes a milestone payment.

 

(b)         Component Deliverables

 

For fixed fee Schedules, if a Deliverable (a “Component Deliverable”) associated with a particular Milestone is to be integrated with another Deliverable (which may be an enhancement) associated with that same Milestone (an “Integrated Deliverable”), JPMC’s Acceptance of the Component Deliverable will be not final until Supplier successfully integrates the Component Deliverable with the Integrated Deliverable and JPMC Accepts those Integrated Deliverables.  Such right shall only extend to Deliverables which have not been previously accepted pursuant to a previous Milestone and acceptance may not be revoked for previously accepted Deliverables

 

(c)          No Waiver

 

Acceptance does not waive any of JPMC’s rights to warranty and maintenance service for the Deliverable, even if JPMC knows of the problems prior to Acceptance.

 

21.4 Quiet Enjoyment

 

Upon Acceptance, Supplier will not disturb JPMC’s or Recipient’s quiet enjoyment of the Deliverables.”

 

C.            22 Delivery, Installation and Training

(c)          Delivery.

 

Supplier will deliver or provide access to each Deliverable and Documentation to be provided under any Schedule to JPMC or the applicable Recipient(s) in the quantities, on the date(s) and/or to the place(s) specified in that Schedule, subject to JPMC obligations set forth in the Schedule, and, if so provided in the applicable Schedule install each Deliverable at JPMC or Recipient, in the quantities, at the locations and on or before the dates specified in the applicable Schedule.  If Supplier fails to do so, JPMC may, at its option:  (a) extend the required date and receive from Supplier, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the late delivery discount set forth in the applicable Schedule, or (b) terminate the applicable Schedule(s), in whole or in part

 

22.2 Postponement

 

JPMC may at any time, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Supplier, postpone Supplier’s scheduled provision of any Deliverable(s).  This notice will specify the commencement and estimated duration of the postponement, on mutually agreed terms.  Upon receiving the notice of postponement and expiration of the 30 day notice period, Supplier will implement the postponement and, during the period of postponement, properly care for and protect all Deliverables in progress.  JPMC may withdraw any postponement by notice to Supplier, in which case Supplier will resume its provision of the Deliverables after a reasonable resumption period, on mutually agreed terms.

 

22.3 Training

 

Training (if any) to be provided by Supplier with respect to the Deliverables will be specified in the applicable Schedule.”

 

15.       Exhibit C - Pre-JPMC Assignment Statement, Exhibit E - Statement of JPMC Domestic Fingerprinting Policy for Contingent Worker Providers/Servicing Agencies and Exhibit F - Statement of JPMC Domestic Drug Testing Policy for Contingent Worker Providers/Servicing Agencies and Appendix 1 to Master Agreement Exhibit F are hereby deleted by way of this Amendment.

22



 

Supplier’s insurance will be primary and all insurance carried by JPMorgan Chase & Co. is strictly excess and secondary and will not contribute with Supplier’s insurance.

 

Any self-insurance retentions or deductibles maintained by Supplier must be approved in writing by JPMC.

 

The requirements of this Agreement as to insurance limits, acceptability of insurers, and insurance to be maintained by Supplier are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations assumed by Supplier under this Agreement.

 

B.                                    CERTIFICATES OF INSURANCE; GENERAL.

 

Supplier will have its insurance broker provide Certificates of Insurance to Supplier certifying that all insurance required is in force.  Supplier will maintain the certificates and, upon JPMC’s request, make them available for review.  Certificates of Insurance will include a copy of the insurance policy endorsements or policy form provisions providing the following: (i) JPMC is included as an additional insured where required, (ii) subrogation is waived where required; (iii) Supplier’s insurance is primary, and all insurance maintained by JPMorgan Chase & Co. is excess and secondary and shall not contribute with Supplier’s insurance; and (iv) all insurance will not be canceled or substantially changed without 30 days’ prior notice by certified mail to JPMC at the above address.

 

In the event of any renewal, termination, cancellation, or expiration in any policy of insurance required under this Agreement, Supplier will have its insurance broker provide a Certificate of Insurance to Supplier, which Supplier will maintain and make available at JPMC’s request for review.

 

Certificates must disclose all applicable policy deductibles and self-insured retentions (“SIR”).  Supplier agrees to be liable for all costs within the deductibles and SIR.  Any self-insured retentions or deductibles maintained by Supplier must be approved in writing by JPMC.

 

With respect to additional insured endorsements, coverage will be no less broad than one or the other of the following alternatives:  (a) the coverage afforded to the named insured under the policy with respect to the Deliverables to be provided or performed under this Agreement; or (b) the coverage afforded by Insurance Services Office Endorsement entitled (“Additional Insured — Designated Person or Organization”).

 

Supplier will, on request, permit JPMC to examine original insurance policies and certificates.

 

Where allowed or required by law to allow indemnification for “action-over” claims, Supplier specifically and expressly waives any immunity that may be granted it under the applicable State workers compensation/Industrial Insurance Act.  Further, the indemnification obligation under this Agreement will not be limited in any way by any amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable to or for any third party under workers compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefits acts; provided Supplier’s waiver of immunity by the provisions of this paragraph extends only to “action-over” claims against Supplier by JPMC, and does not include, or extend to, any claims by Supplier’s employees directly against Supplier.

 

In the event that Deliverables are performed or provided by persons other than Supplier who are not parties to any Agreement with JPMC, Supplier will arrange to have such subcontractors furnish to Supplier evidence of insurance, subject to terms and conditions determined adequate to satisfy Supplier, at least two weeks prior to commencing with the performance or provision of such Deliverables.  It is understood and agreed that Supplier’s determination of the adequacy of the insurance carried by subcontractors in no way relieves Supplier from liability assumed by Supplier or insurance required of Supplier.
