(b)                                 Upon any termination of this Agreement or any Work Order in accordance with Section 12.3 (Termination for Cause):

 

(i)                                     With respect to T&M Services, Vendor shall be paid fees on a time and materials basis at the applicable rate set forth in Exhibit F for Vendor Application Development resources or, in the event Vendor is providing T&M Services unrelated to development on Vendor’s proprietary commercially available software applications, under the applicable Work Order for Services actually performed up to and including the effective date of such termination.

 

(ii)                                  With respect to Work Orders’ for Fixed Price Services, other than for maintenance services, as to which there are not any interim milestones, Vendor shall be paid the lesser of: (A) time and materials fees (using the daily “rates set forth in the applicable Work Order for the days spent performing Services up to and including the effective date of such termination; or (B) the total fixed fee identified in the applicable Work Order divided by the Fixed Price Period, as defined below. The “Fixed Price Period” shall mean the total number of days (calendar days or business days, as specified in the applicable Work Order) for provision at such Services as initially estimated in the Work Order divided by the number of such days that Vendor actually performed Services under the Work Order.

 

The following example, which is given for illustrative purposes only, demonstrates how the above formula shall be used: Customer has engaged Vendor for development Services with a fixed fee of ninety thousand dollars ($90,0000.00) in which the estimated end date is ninety (90) calendar days from the start date. Customer then terminates the Work Order for convenience effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after the start date. As of the effective date of termination, Vendor has expended thirty (30) days using eight (8) programmers at a rate of one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00) per day each. Thus, Vendor has expended thirty-six thousand dollars ($36,000.00) on the Work Order. However, upon termination, Customer will owe Vendor no more than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00) because the Fixed Price Period of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00) is lower than the amount\Vendor has expended on a time and materials basis, which in this example is thirty-six thousand dollars ($36,000.00).

 

(iii)                               With respect to Work Orders for Fixed Price Services as to which there are interim payments based on milestones, Vendor shall be paid: (A) any milestone payments associated with any Deliverables which have been accepted by Customer in accordance with Section 5 (Acceptance) prior to the effective date of termination; and (B) the lesser of: (1) time and materials fees (using the daily rates set forth in the Fee Schedule) for the time spent performing Services after the last milestone has been reached up to and including the effective date of termination; or (2) the result of the next milestone payment due divided by the Milestone.

 

Period (as defined below) which result shall be multiplied by the number of days (calendar or business days, as specified in the applicable Work Order) Vendor actually spent performing Services during the Milestone Period. The “Milestone Period” shall mean the total number of days (calendar or business days, as specified in the applicable Work Order) from the date the last milestone was reached to the date the next milestone was initially estimated to be reached (as set forth in the Work Order). The “Milestone Cap” shall mean a cap on fees calculated as follows: (amount of the next milestone payment otherwise due to Vendor divided by the Milestone Period) multiplied by the number of calendar or business days, as applicable, that Vendor actually performed Services during such Milestone Period.

 

The following example, which is given for illustrative purposes only, demonstrates how the above formula shall be used: Customer has engaged Vendor for development Services with a fixed fee of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in which the estimated end date is forty (40) calendar days from the start date. There are four (4) Deliverables with associated milestone payments of twenty-five dollars ($25,000.00) each. The first Deliverable is due on the tenth (10th) day after the start date, the second Deliverable is due on the twentieth (20th) day after the start date, the third Deliverable is due on the thirtieth (30th) day after the start date and the fourth Deliverable is due on the fortieth (40th) day after the start date. Customer terminates the Work Order for convenience effective on the twenty-fifth (25th) date after the start date. As of the effective date of termination, Customer has accepted the first two (2) Deliverables. During the period in between the milestone date for the second Deliverable and the effective date of termination, Vendor expended five (5) calendar days using two (2) programmers at a

rate of one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00) each per day. Therefore, Vendor expended one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00) on the Services after the first two (2) Deliverables were completed and accepted by Customer. Upon termination, Customer will owe Vendor fifty-one thousand, five hundred dollars ($51,500.00) for the Services performed under the Work Order, which is equal to payment for the two (2) Deliverables accepted plus time and materials fees based on the remainder of the time Vendor worked on the project. In this example, the amount actually expended by Vendor on a time and materials basis after the second Deliverable was accepted (one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00)) is lower than the Milestone Cap (twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500.00)). The Milestone Cap in this example is reached by dividing the next milestone payment due, which is twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00), by ten (10) days and multiplying the result by five (5), which is the number of days that Vendor spent performing the Services after the first two (2) Deliverables were accepted.

 

(iv)                              With respect to Work Orders for maintenance Fixed Price Services (including enhancement Services that are bundled into maintenance Services), Vendor shall be paid for an amount equal to the total fixed price fee divided by the Maintenance Period (as defined below) multiplied by the number of calendar days between the first day of the term of the Work Order and the effective date of termination. The “Maintenance Period” shall mean the total number of calendar days contained in the term of the applicable Work Order.

 

The following example, which is given for illustrative purposes only, demonstrates how the above formula shall be used: Customer has engaged Vendor for maintenance Services with a fixed fee of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00). The term of the Work Order is one (1) year. Therefore, the Maintenance Period for the Work Order is three hundred and sixty-five (365) calendar days. Customer then terminates the Work Order for convenience effective on the ninetieth (90th) day after the first day of the term. The amount that Customer will owe Vendor is equal to twenty-four thousand six hundred and fifty seven dollars and fifty-three cents ($24,657.53). This number was calculated by dividing the fixed price fee of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) by the Maintenance Period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) calendar days and multiplying the result by ninety (90), which is the number of calendar days between the first day of the term of the Work Order and the effective date of termination.

 

(c)                               In the event of termination by Customer of this. Agreement or any Work Order in accordance with Section 12.3 (Termination for Cause), Customer shall not be obligated to pay Vendor such amounts as set forth in Section 4.3(b) above.

 

4.4                               Volume Discounts. For purposes of determining volume discounts and other pricing incentives, if any, made available by Vendor to Customer: (a) all Work Orders will be consolidated and the total amount of purchases under those Work Orders will be used for determining volume discounts and other pricing incentives except that all reimbursable expenses, applicable taxes and any expenses that the parties agree are “pass through” costs or purchases shall be excluded from the total amount of purchases used for the calculation; and (b) any software, hardware or other goods or services purchased by Customer and/or any Affiliate from Vendor pursuant to a separate agreement as of, or prior to, the Effective Date will also be consolidated and the total amount of such purchases will also be used for determining volume discounts and other incentives, except that all reimbursable expenses, applicable taxes and agreed to “pass through” costs or purchases shall be excluded from the total amount of purchases used for the calculation.

 

4.5                               Taxes.  Unless Customer provides Vendor with a valid and applicable exemption certificate within a commercially reasonable time, Customer will pay or reimburse the Vendor for sales, use, excise, services, consumption and other taxes or duties and analogous taxes (collectively, “Taxes”) that the Vendor is permitted or required to collect from  Customer and which are assessed on the purchase, license and/or supply of Services and for which Vendor invoices Customer before the expiration of the later of the applicable Customer’s or Vendor’s statutory period for assessment of the relevant Taxes.  Taxes shall not include any personal property taxes on property Vendor owns or leases, franchise and privilege taxes on its business and/or taxes based on its net income or gross receipts.  Customer will not be responsible for any penalties related to the tax obligations of Vendor unless (i) such penalties accrue solely based on the actions or inactions of Customer and (ii) Customer had received reasonable prior written notice from the Vendor that the actions or inactions of Customer will be the sole basis for such.  Vendor will be responsible for remitting applicable taxes.  If Customer pays any tax to Vendor and if it is later held that that tax was not due, Vendor will refund the amount paid to Customer, together with all related interest paid by the applicable taxing authority.

Vendor shall have no liability for any infringement caused, to the extent caused by one or more of the following (each, an “IP Exception”): (i) any alteration or modification of any Deliverable not provided or authorized by Vendor in writing, if the infringement would not have occurred but for the alteration or modification by a party other than Vendor; (ii) use of the Deliverable in combination with other programs or data not reasonably intended or foreseeable by the parties to be used with the Deliverable(s), if the infringement would not have occurred but for the use in combination with such programs or data; (iii) use of the Deliverable in a way reasonably intended or foreseeable under the applicable documentation and/or Work Order, if the infringement would not have occurred but for such use; (iv) Vendor’s compliance with Customer’s designs, specifications or instructions, except in the case of copyright infringement or misappropriation or (v) any Customer-provided intellectual property if the infringement would not have occurred but for the Customer intellectual property.

 

The foregoing remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available to Customer, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise and whether at law, in equity, or otherwise.

To the extent applicable to the Deliverables or Services, the scope of such audits may include: (i) Vendor’s practices and procedures; (ii) the adequacy of general controls (e.g., organizational controls, input/output controls, system modification controls, processing controls, system design controls, and access controls) and security practices and procedures; (iii) the efficiency of and costs to Vendor in performing the Services; and (iv) the adequacy of disaster recovery and back-up procedures.

other charges, Vendor shall promptly reimburse Customer for the actual cost of such audit.

 

18.4                       Federal Regulatory Audits. Vendor acknowledges that under the Bank Service Corporation Act (12 U.S.C. § 1861 et seq.) and other Laws applicable to Customer, in performing the Services contemplated under this Agreement, Vendor may be subject to examination by Governmental Authorities including United States Federal supervisory agencies.

Subject to Customer’s prior approval, Vendor shall promptly address and implement all recommendations for improvements resulting from such examinations.

 

18.5                        Audit Follow-up. Following any audit or examination performed hereunder, Customer may conduct, or may request its external auditors or examiners to conduct, an exit conference with Vendor to obtain factual concurrence with issues identified in the review. Vendor shall promptly make available to Customer the results of any review or audit conducted by Vendor, its affiliates, or their respective contractors, agents, or representatives (including internal and external auditors), relating to Vendor’s operating practices and procedures to the extent relevant to the Deliverables, Services or Customer.

 

18.6                       General Principles Regarding Audits.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the occurrence of a Force Majeure event does not excuse, limit or otherwise affect Vendor’s obligation to perform the disaster recovery services described in a Disaster Recovery Plan and Section 2.4 (Disaster Recovery Requirements) and/or Vendor’s own standard recovery and business continuity procedures.

20.4                        Non-Limitation of Insurance. It is understood that the above may not be all the types of insurance normally carried by contractors in similar operation or size for their commercial activities.  Therefore, compliance with any of the types and limits of insurance stipulated in this Section 20 will not in itself be construed to limit any liability of Vendor, any Vendor Personnel or any Vendor agents.  . Vendor’s obligation to maintain the insurance coverages stipulated in this Section 20 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, Vendor’s other obligations hereunder, and Vendor’s liability to Customer shall not be limited to the amount of coverage required hereunder.

 

20.5                        Contravention of Insurance. Vendor will not intentionally do any thing on or about Customer’s premises that will contravene or impair any policies of insurance that may be carried by Customer against loss, damage or destruction by fire, casualty, public liability, or otherwise.

EXHIBIT D

 

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

 

I.                                        General Requirements

 

These Performance Requirements apply to those engagements where the applicable Work Order states that Vendor is responsible for the Performance Requirements set forth in Exhibit D to the Agreement.

 

Customer reserves the right to modify the following performance data and reporting requirements at any time after discussion with Vendor. Such modifications will be within the normal operating capacities of any SEI-CMM organization and shall be confirmed in writing by Customer.

 

“Variable priced” Work Orders must comply with all requirements described herein. For ‘‘fixed priced” Work Orders, Vendors (1) are requested, but are not required, to provide any metrics associated with resource performance such as internal defects, effort and activities as these specifics are considered to be Vendor proprietary, and (2) shall comply with all other requirements described herein. For purposes of this Exhibit D only, “fixed priced” Work Orders are defined as Work Orders that (a) make no reference to specific staffing requirements other than management related personnel, (b) provide a predetermined charge, in the form of dollars or hours, for a specific scope of work and (c) are based solely on specific Deliverables or service levels. Work Orders that do not comply with this definition, regardless of how the Work Order describes the project, shall be considered a “variable priced” project.

 

In tracking the required information, Vendor shall be required to use Customer’s project and process management tool(s) unless an individual Work Order stipulates otherwise. These tool(s) may vary from Work Order to Work Order.

 

II.                                  Service level Requirements

 

The parties in each Work Order shall describe SLs, and any specific plan for delivering them. SLs for new support engagements are typically established after a period of time to acquire the experience necessary to provide objective targets.

 

Vendor shall provide Root cause analyses for any missed service level target at the request of the individual Customer.

 

The SL metric definitions described herein establish a standard reporting requirement that cannot be overridden in a Work Order except that (1) support Severity level definitions may be modified to suit the needs of Customer and (2) additional SL metrics may be required.

 

The Service Level targets described herein shall establish a minimum target unless overridden in a Work Order.

 

III.                             Reporting Requirements

 

The reporting requirements described herein are meant to provide a general understanding of the type and summary levels of the reports and are illustrative only. They are not meant to be an exhaustive description of a given report’s content. The report formats and requirements shall vary depending on the needs of the individual Customer organizations receiving these reports. Such organizations include business groups, Customer management and Affiliate management. Vendors are encouraged to submit their ideas regarding the formatting and presentation of these reports.

 

The inclusion of a less comprehensive set of reporting requirements in anyone Work Order shall not override the requirements described herein.

 

The reports shall be considered by Customer to be an engagement deliverable that must be provided, by close of business on the 15th of each month, for the project’s SLs to be met.

IV.                               Data Requirements

 

The data elements described herein are specific and are to be provided by Vendor to Customer each month, in a spreadsheet file(s), in Vendor’s format unless a specific format is provided by Customer. This data shall be the same data that was used by Vendor to create the above reports such that those reports can be duplicated from the provided data. These data elements shall be considered by Customer to be an engagement deliverable that must accompany the reports, by close of business on the 15th of each month, for the project’s SLs to be met.

 

V.                                   Vendor Managed Projects (Fixed or Variable Price)

 

This section applies to one-time, non-staff augmentation Work Orders with a discrete timeframe (project start and end dates) including development, implementation, migration, assessment, or transition projects. Other (non-software development) project and sub-project categories shall track effort according to the higher activity phases described in their project plans.

 

VI.                               Project Service level Definitions and Targets

 

A. On-Time

 

Using the last approved completion date:

 

Item 1- The calculated Schedule Slippage in business days (actual completion date —last approved completion date)

Item 2- The calculated actual time to complete in business days (last approved completion date - actual start date)

 

The Schedule Slippage Percentage is computed as follows:

 

Schedule Slippage Percentage = item 1 * 100 / item 2

If the Schedule Slippage Percentage for a project less than or equal to 10%,  Vendor schedule performance shall be deemed to be satisfactory for that project.

 

B. Application Quality

 

The number and type of defects, as discovered by Customer quality assurance (OA) and user acceptance test (UAT) groups, determine application quality.

 

A defect is described as any application logic created, Customer OA or UA T testing result that does not conform to any documented business or technical requirement.

 

The defect level classification is as follows:

 

 

Defect level Descriptions for Reported UAT Defects

Level 1

 

Testing cannot continue until the error is fixed

Level 2

 

System cannot go live until it is fixed.

Level 3

 

An adverse effect has been identified, however, Customer and Vendor agree that a temporary workaround can be implemented so the system can go live.

Level 4

 

No major adverse effects to the business environment. Customer shall schedule a re-test upon notification by Vendor when the error has been corrected.

 

Defect Service Level

 

Target

Level 1 UAT defects/size*

 

Not greater than 2 per size volume**

Level 2 UAT defects/size*

 

Not greater than 3 per size volume**

Level 3 UAT defects/size*

 

Not greater than 5 per size volume**

Level 4 UAT defects/size*

 

Not greater than 10 per size volume**
