Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither SS&C nor any SS&C Associate shall be liable to Customer for any action or inaction of any SS&C Associate except to the extent of direct Losses finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of SS&C Associates in the performance of SS&C’s duties or obligations under this Agreement.

Any expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred by SS&C in defending or responding to any Claims (or in enforcing this provision) shall be paid by Customer on a quarterly basis prior to the final disposition of such matter upon receipt by Customer of an undertaking by SS&C to repay such amount if it shall be determined that a SS&C Associate is not entitled to be indemnified.

SS&C shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer and its Affiliates, members, shareholders, directors, officers, partners and employees from and against Losses (including reasonable legal fees and costs to enforce this provision) that Customer or its Affiliates suffer, incur, or pay as a result of any Claim brought by a third party that the Digital Solutions Services infringe, or cause the infringement of, the intellectual property rights of a third party, except to extent such infringement is a result of or arises out of (i) improper use of the Digital Solutions Services or any SS&C Property by Customer or its Affiliates, (ii) modifications to the Digital Solutions Services or SS&C Property made by Customer or its Affiliates not previously authorized in writing by SS&C, (iii) Customer or its Affiliates not complying with instructions or designs required by SS&C, (iv) use of the Digital Solutions Services or SS&C Property by Customer or its Affiliates in breach of this Agreement, or (v) the combination of the Digital Solutions Services or SS&C Property by Customer or its Affiliates with products or systems other than those provided for use with the Services by, or authorized in writing by, SS&C.

SS&C shall store the Operator ID and associated access levels. Any personnel changes or access changes affecting Customer point of contact must be communicated to SS&C promptly.

Required - Password is used in conjunction with Operator ID to access the Distribution Support Services Web Site, which consequently provides access to any User information (profile, firm, address, authorization information, etc.).

 

26


USER ENROLLMENT AND AUTHORIZATION PROCEDURES

The following procedures are part of the Authentication Procedures applicable to Vision Services.

 

1.

Enrollment.

Each User is required to complete an Electronic Enrollment Form, which is available at a URL designated by SS&C (at the date of this Agreement - www.dstvision.com). Users enrolling for access may complete the enrollment process by providing SS&C with information called for in the Electronic Enrollment Form about their practice and the Financial Products they wish to access.

 

2.

Customer Authorization.

Upon receiving a completed Electronic Enrollment Form from a User, SS&C will make available an Authorization Request to Customer (point of contact) through the Distribution Support Services Web Site. The Authorization Request will identify the level of access requested and the security criteria as well as provide a sample client Tax ID/Social Security Number.

Through the Distribution Support Services Web Site, Customer point of contact is solely responsible for authorizing or denying each User request for access to Transactions through Vision Services. When authorizing requests, security criteria must be verified by Customer. This includes verifying:

 

   

Appropriate Level of Authorization. Please note, each authorization will provide access to the level indicated on SS&C’s Authorization Request. Access may be requested at the dealer, dealer/branch, dealer/representative, tax ID, or Trust/TPA level.

 

   

Accurate Access Security Criteria. Customer must verify that each field authorized in the security criteria accurately represents the dealer/branch/representative or tax ID information which appears on the master of the representative’s clients’ accounts. 100% of the representative’s accounts should reflect the authorized criteria.

Customer assumes all responsibility for verifying the security level of each new User authorization request. SS&C shall not be required to verify that the person who processes the Authorization Request is legally authorized to do so on behalf of Customer and SS&C shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such approval/denial without further duty to inquire.

 

3.

Password & ID Notification.

When Customer approves an authorization request, the User’s ID is updated for the authorized security and an e-mail is sent to the User notifying him/her of their access to the Vision Web Site. Users are required to establish their own initial password at a URL designated by SS&C (at the date of this Agreement - www.dstvision.com/assignpswd.html).
