2.8 Dependence on Performance by Others. The obligation of Galileo to timely perform the Services is expressly subject to the timely performance by Customer. Bank and third party vendors Customer engages, of their obligations and responsibilities, but only to the extent that failure to so perform directly affects Galileo’s ability to timely perform hereunder or the cost to Galileo of performing hereunder.

2.9 Startup. Customer will (i) use all reasonable resources, including the assignment of adequate personnel to assure timely performance of those functions required of Customer to permit Galileo to begin processing related to the Customer Accounts pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) comply with any reasonable directions of Galileo so as to enable Galileo to begin processing related to the Customer Accounts pursuant to this Agreement,

3. Minimums; Exclusivity; Merger or Change of Control

3.1 Minimum Monthly Fee. Each calendar month (pro-rated for any billing period not beginning on the first day of the month or ending on the last day of the month) Customer will require and shall pay Galileo for Services sufficient to generate aggregate Processing Fees at least equal to the amount set forth on Exhibit C under the heading “Minimum Monthly Fee” (the “Minimum Monthly Fee”). For the avoidance of doubt and based on economic assumptions material to each party underlying this transaction, Customer and Galileo expressly agree that Customer shall pay Galileo Processing Fees during each calendar month in an amount at least equal to the Minimum Monthly Fee until this Agreement is terminated by Customer pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9.2 or until Galileo terminates this Agreement and invokes compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4.

3.2 Non-exclusive Provider. This Agreement is a non-exclusive arrangement between the parties; provided, however, prior to Customer providing, or engaging a third party to provide. Services in connection with the Transaction Card programs which are then being serviced by Galileo pursuant to this Agreement. Customer agrees that it shall provide to Galileo a minimum of one hundred twenty (120) days advance written notice describing in detail the applicable Services Customer seeks to provide itself or obtain from a third party.

3.3 Disposition of Portfolios. Upon the sale or other disposition by Customer of 90% or more of Customer Accounts that are subject to this Agreement (the “Former Accounts”) Galileo will no longer be obligated to provide Services for the Former Accounts for Customer and Bank pursuant to this Agreement.

3.4 Merger or Change of Control. If Customer is merged into an Entity and such Entity is the survivor of such merger (the “Surviving Entity”), then (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to all Transaction Card programs and Customer Accounts which were subject to this Agreement prior to such merger and (ii) the Surviving Entity, as Customer’s successor-in-interest, shall continue to be bound by Customer’s obligations hereunder. If there is a Change of Control of Customer, then the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to all Transaction Card programs and Customer Accounts of Customer and its Affiliates that were subject to this Agreement immediately prior to such Change of Control, but shall not apply to any accounts of the Entity that Acquires Control of Customer which were not subject to this Agreement prior to such Change of Control.

4. Payment for Services

4.1 Processing Fees. Customer shall pay Galileo the Processing Fees set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement. All amounts shall be payable in US dollars. Galileo shall bill Customer on or about the fifth business day of each calendar month for all Processing Fees related to Services provided in the previous month pursuant to this Agreement. Galileo may increase each line item of Processing Fees set forth on Exhibit C that were in effect for the immediately preceding Processing Year by an amount equal to the amount of the change in the year over year percentage change in the most recently reported Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) in the event that the year over year percentage change in the CPI is greater than 10%. For purposes hereof, the CPI shall be the index compiled by the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”) having a base of 100 in 1982-84, using that portion of the index that appears, under the caption “Other Goods and Services.” The percentage increase in the CPI shall be calculated as of ninety (90) days in advance of the effective date of such increase, by comparing the CPI using a twelve (12) month period ending three (3) months prior to the effective date of such increase and expressing the increase in said CPI through the twelve (12) month period as a percentage.

The pricing set forth on Exhibit C provides a bundled pricing schedule (the “Bundled Pricing Schedule”). The parties have contemplated possibly moving from a Bundled Pricing Schedule to a transactional based pricing schedule (“Transactional Pricing”) at a later time during the Term. If the parties mutually agree on Transactional Pricing to replace the Bundled Pricing, such pricing change shall be effective on a date mutually agreed to by the parties.

4.2 Special Fees. Customer shall pay Galileo the Special Fees, including but not limited to U.S. postage, related to services provided by third-party providers and as may be set forth on Exhibit C. Galileo shall not be required to provide any Services the payment of which is covered by Special Fees until Galileo receives payment for such Special Fees. If, at any time while this Agreement is in effect, the charges are increased to Galileo for items which are included in the Special Fees or Galileo obtains communication or other services included in the Special Fees by another method, resulting in an increase in the charges to Galileo for such items, then Galileo shall increase by an equal amount the Special Fees Customer is then paving Galileo for such items under this Agreement. Such price change by Galileo shall be effective on the effective date of the increase to Galileo. On the Effective Date, Customer agrees to pay to Galileo a deposit (the “Special Fee Deposit”) in the amount of $5,000 to be used by Galileo for the payment of Special Fees. Customer agrees to replenish the Special Fee Deposit on the first day of each month by paying to Galileo an amount sufficient to restore the Special Fee Deposit amount to the greater of (i) $5,000 or (ii) the Special Fees incurred in the preceding calendar month.

 

4


4.3 New Products. If Galileo commences to offer any new services or products generally to its customers and Customer elects to use any such service or product, or if Customer elects to use services or products which Customer had not previously elected to use, then Galileo shall provide such service or product at Galileo’s then current fees and charges for such service or product or such other prices as Galileo and Customer may mutually agree.

4.4 Method of Payment. Customer shall provide Galileo with access to a bank account of Customer’s operational funds (the “Bank Account”) not requiring signature including notifying Galileo of the demand deposit account number and transit routing number for the Bank Account. Customer agrees that Galileo may draw upon the Bank Account to pay fees, taxes, interest payments, charges, or any other amount due or payable to Galileo under the terms of this Agreement at any time fifteen (15) days after Customer’s receipt of an invoice indicating the amount owed by Customer to Galileo. To further acknowledge Customer’s agreement to allow Galileo to access the Bank Account, Customer shall sign the ACH Authorization Form attached hereto as Exhibit D attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The detailed records of the amounts drawn on the Bank Account by Galileo shall be provided by Galileo to Customer on a monthly basis. Galileo shall be under no obligation to effect any Start-Up until the Bank Account has been established as provided herein, and Galileo may immediately suspend providing the Services without incurring any liability to Customer until there is an amount sufficient in the Bank Account to pay any amount due to Galileo under this Agreement.

4.5 Interest. If Galileo is unable to obtain payment of Processing Fees, Special Fees, compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4 of this Agreement or any other fee, tax, interest payment, charge or amount due or payable to Galileo by Customer under this Agreement at the time provided for payment under this Agreement, the unpaid amount of any Processing Fees, Special Fees, compensatory payments pursuant to Section 9.4 of this Agreement or other fee, tax, interest payment, charge or amount shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lesser of (a) 12% per annum, or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, from the date on which payment was due until the date on which Galileo receives the payment.

4.6 Taxes. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes and similar charges imposed on it by any governmental authority assessed as a result of this Agreement. Galileo shall be responsible for all taxes and similar charges imposed on it by any governmental authority assessed as a result of Galileo’s provision of Services pursuant to this Agreement.

4.7 Deconversion. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Galileo shall provide Deconversion assistance to Customer as Customer may reasonably request: provided, however, that in no event shall Galileo be obligated to Deconvert any of Customer Accounts until a date which is mutually agreed upon and at least thirty (30) days but not greater than six (6) months after notice by Customer to Galileo requesting such Deconversion. Except in the event of Deconversion occurring as a result of termination of the Agreement by Customer pursuant to Section 9.2. Customer shall pay Galileo the Development rate per hour set forth on Exhibit C for resources for each activity completed by Galileo in order to accomplish the Deconversion and for all costs, including postage or shipping, of complying with Section 10.1. In the event of Deconversion occurring as a result of termination of the Agreement by Customer pursuant to Section 9.2. Galileo shall not bill Customer for Galileo’s costs associated with Deconversion.

 

5


4.8 Billing Disputes. If Customer in good faith disputes any portion of any invoice, Customer shall notify Galileo as soon as possible (and in any event no later than the due date of the payment) and submit to Galileo, by the due date of the invoice, (i) payment equal to the amount due on the invoice less the amount disputed by Customer and (ii) written documentation identifying and substantiating the disputed amount. Without limiting the foregoing, if a party fails to report a dispute, whether it be for a billing error or any other unresolved payment issue between the parties within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date on the applicable invoice or the discovery of such payment issue, then such party shall have waived its right to dispute that invoice. The parties agree to use their respective best efforts to resolve any dispute within thirty (30) days after a party receives written notice of the dispute from the other party. Any disputed amounts resolved in favor of Customer shall be credited to Customer’s account on the next invoice following resolution of the dispute. Any disputed amounts determined to be payable to Galileo shall be due within fifteen (15) days of the resolution of the dispute.

5. Dispute Resolution and Indemnification

5.1 Dispute Resolution. In the event a controversy or claim between Galileo and Customer arises from or in connection with this Agreement whether based on contract, tort, common law, equity, statute, regulation, order or otherwise (a “Dispute”), the parties agree to reasonably discuss and make good faith efforts to negotiate an amicable settlement of such Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceedings.

5.2 Arbitration. If Customer and Galileo are unable to resolve any Dispute in the manner set forth in Section 5.1 above, such Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration. The parties agree that, except as otherwise provided above, any Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Salt Lake City, Utah, with judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator to be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the then-current specified Commercial Arbitration Rules, the following shall apply with respect to the arbitration proceeding: (i) the existence, subject, evidence, proceedings, and ruling resulting from the arbitration proceedings shall be deemed confidential information, and shall not be disclosed by the parties, their representatives, or the arbitrator (except: (a) to the professional advisers of Customer or Galileo; (b) in connection with a public offering of securities by Customer or Galileo; (c) as ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction; or (d) as required to comply with any applicable governmental statute or regulation); (ii) the arbitrator shall be required to prepare written findings of fact; and (iii) the arbitrator may grant any relief or remedy which the arbitrator deems just and equitable. The parties agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for breach of Section 10 of this Agreement and that in addition to all other available legal remedies or equitable remedies, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctions and specific performance, for any breach thereof without proof of actual damages.

8.2 Renewal After the Original Term. This Agreement shall automatically renew for consecutive periods of one (1) Processing Year (each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Original Term, the “Term”), unless either party provides the other party written notice of its intent not to renew this Agreement at least six (6) months prior to the termination date of the Original Term or a Renewal Term,

9. Termination

9.1 Termination by Galileo. Galileo may terminate this Agreement:

(a) if Galileo fails to receive payment from Customer pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.4 of this Agreement and Customer, within seven (7) business days after receiving written notice from Galileo, still has not made such payment to Galileo, or immediately without notice if Galileo has the right more than four times in any twelve month period to give such notice under this paragraph whether or not the notice is given:

(b) if any Insolvency Event occurs with respect to Customer;

(c) in the event any representation or warranty of Customer is inaccurate in any material respect or Customer materially breaches any of its duties or obligations contained in this Agreement, and fails to cure within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof by Galileo, or such shorter period as may be required by a Legal Requirement or by the applicable Association; or

(d) the sale or disposition of Former Accounts as provided in Section 3.2 of this Agreement.

The rights of Galileo to terminate under this Section 9.1 are cumulative and the existence of the right under any provision or subsection is not exclusive of the right under any other provision or subsection.

9.2 Termination by Customer. Customer may terminate this Agreement:

(a) if any Insolvency Event occurs with respect to Galileo; or

(b) in the event any representation or warranty of Galileo is inaccurate in any material respect or Galileo materially breaches any of its duties or obligations contained in this Agreement; and Galileo fails to cure within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof by Customer.

The rights of Customer to terminate under this Section 9.2 are cumulative and the existence of the right under any provision or subsection is not exclusive of the right under any other provision or subsection.

9.3 Effect of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement. Galileo shall have no further obligation to provide the Services to Customer and Bank, except for Deconversion assistance as provided in 4.7, and all outstanding unpaid amounts due and owing to Galileo shall become immediately due and payable. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not affect the following:

(a) the obligation of Customer to pay for Services rendered or any other obligation or liability owing or which becomes owing under this Agreement whether the obligations arise prior to or after the date of termination including the obligations to make the payments provided in Sections 4 and 9.4; or

(b) the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 10 and 12.4.

9.4 Payment on Termination.

(a) If Galileo terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9,1, Customer and Galileo agree that, based on economic assumptions material to each party, Customer shall make a compensatory payment to Galileo. Such compensatory payment shall be made by Customer upon termination by Galileo, and prior to Deconversion, and shall equal 20 percent of the gross revenue payable to Galileo pursuant to the Agreement during the calendar month immediately preceding the date of termination of this Agreement multiplied by the number of months remaining under this Agreement; provided, however, if the Minimum Monthly Fee then in effect is greater than the Processing Fees for such month, for purposes of the preceding calculation the Processing Fees shall equal the Minimum Monthly Fee then in effect.

(b) Galileo and Customer agree that the compensatory payments set forth in Section 9.4(a) are a reasonable estimation, as of the date of this Agreement, of the actual damages which Galileo would suffer if Galileo were to fail to receive the processing business for the full Term. In making such determination, the parties have considered all relevant factors known to the parties as of the date hereof and have given special consideration to the particular circumstances which may attend each particular termination event including the allocation of risks associated therewith between the parties. If not but for the full consideration of all relevant factors known to the parties as of the date hereof, and the payments to be made pursuant to this Section 9.4, neither party would have been willing to enter into this Agreement.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, if Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2, Customer and Galileo agree that Customer shall not be required to make any compensatory payment to Galileo.

(d) Despite the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.4 shall limit Galileo’s right to recover from Customer any amounts for which Customer is otherwise liable under this Agreement.

Customer acknowledges that Galileo, in its sole discretion, may provide to other customers, similar services to those outlined in this Agreement utilizing any of the Galileo owned intellectual property referenced in this Section 10.2 or otherwise set forth or referred to in this Agreement. Customer shall not obtain any proprietary rights in any proprietary or confidential information which has been or is disclosed to Customer by Galileo, including without limitation, any data or information that is trade secret or competitively sensitive material; user manuals; screen displays and formats; computer software, systems, products, system architecture and documentation related to each of the foregoing, in each case, whether owned, licensed or otherwise provided or used by Galileo; software performance results; flow charts and other specifications (whether or not electronically stored); data and data formats (collectively, “Galileo’s Proprietary Information”) whether any of the materials are developed or purchased specifically for performance of this Agreement or otherwise.

10.4 Confidentiality. Galileo and Customer shall maintain Customer’s Proprietary Information and Galileo’s Proprietary Information, respectively, in strict confidence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing. Galileo and Customer each agree:

(a) Not to disclose or permit any other person or Entity access to Customer’s Proprietary Information (including Customer account information) or Galileo’s Proprietary Information, as appropriate, except that the disclosure or access shall be permitted to an employee, officer, director, agent, representative, external or internal auditors or independent contractor of the party requiring access to the same in the course of his or her employment or services;

 

10


(b) To ensure that its employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives, and independent contractors are advised of the confidential nature of Customer’s Proprietary Information and Galileo’s Proprietary Information, as appropriate, and are precluded from taking any action prohibited under this Section 10, provided that in any event Customer and Galileo shall each be liable for any breach of this Section 10 by their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives and independent contractors:

(c) Not to alter or remove any identification, copyright or proprietary rights notice which indicates the ownership of any part of Customer’s Proprietary Information or Galileo’s Proprietary Information, as appropriate; and

10.6 Exclusions. Nothing in this Section 10 shall restrict the parties with respect to information or data identical or similar to that contained in Customer’s Proprietary Information or Galileo’s Proprietary Information, as appropriate, but which: (a) the receiving party can demonstrate was rightfully possessed by it before it received the information from the disclosing party: (b) was in the public domain prior to the date of this Agreement or subsequently becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party or any person or Entity acting on its behalf; (c) was previously received by the receiving party from a third party or is subsequently furnished rightfully to the receiving party by a third party (no Affiliate of Galileo or Customer shall be considered to be a third party) not known to be under restrictions on use or disclosure; (d) is independently developed by such party: (e) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation or court order, provided that the disclosing party will exercise reasonable efforts to notify the other party prior to disclosure; or (f) is required to be disclosed to comply with or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, provided that the disclosing party will exercise reasonable efforts to notify the other party prior to disclosure.

10.7 Remedy. If a party breaches this Section 10, the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable harm and the total amount of monetary damages for any injury to such party will be impossible to calculate and therefore an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the non-breaching party may (a) seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief against the breaching party or (b) exercise any other rights and seek any other remedies to which the non-breaching party may be entitled to at law, in equity and under this Agreement for any violation of this Section 10. Further, in the event of either party breaching this Section 10, the breaching party shall promptly, at its own expense: (i) notify the non-breaching party in writing, (ii) take reasonable steps to minimize the violation, and (iii) reasonably cooperate with the non-breaching party to minimize any damage resulting therefrom.

Section 3. Forecasts.

If during any day the number of customer service calls received by Galileo does not exceed 80% of the daily projection of customer service calls for such day, then for such day Customer shall pay to Galileo the average call time for the previous month multiplied by the applicable Live Agent Customer Service rate per call for the difference between (x) 80% of the projected number of customer service calls for such day and (y) the actual number of customer service calls received by Galileo for such day; provided, however, that in the event the total number of customer service calls received by Galileo during the calendar month is 95% or more of the projections for such month.

By way of example, and for purpose of clarification only, if on a given day, Galileo received 500 customer service calls under the Agreement, Customer projected there to be 750 customer service calls on such day, the average call time for the previous month was four minutes, and all of the calls were being handled domestically. Customer would be required to pay to Galileo $300 ((4*$0.75) * ((750*80%)-500))) for such day but only if the total number of customer service calls received by Galileo under this Agreement for the applicable month did not meet or exceed the aggregate of 95% of the total number of customer service calls expected pursuant to the forecast for such month.

Section 4. Excuse from Performance. Galileo shall not be responsible for a failure to meet any Service Level to the extent that such failure is directly attributable to. or Galileo’s performance is materially hindered by, any of the following:
