2. SERVICES If specified on an Order Form and subject to Customer’s timely payment of all fees, Cardinal (or Cardinal’s delegate) will provide the following services in connection with Customer’s installation and operation of the Software; any non-standard services must be agreed to by the parties in an Order Form.
2.1 Deployment. Subject to Customer’s timely and satisfactory completion of its responsibilities described in the planning schedule to be established by Cardinal and agreed to by Customer, an estimated “go-live” date will be established. Both parties shall work in good faith to complete the deployment activities (including converting Customer’s data) in a timely fashion and to perform the deployment and conversion in accordance with the responsibilities set forth in the planning schedule and associated documentation. Unless deployment is priced as a fixed bid on the applicable Order Form, Customer shall pay Cardinal on a time-and-materials basis for any of its personnel or any independent contractors who perform conversion or related services. Cardinal shall verify proper operation and access of data lines, and verify network connectivity and processing of data. Customer agrees to reimburse Cardinal for all out-of-pocket expenses (travel, lodging, meals, long distance telephone calls, and printing and copying charges) incurred in connection with the deployment services. Unless stated otherwise on the applicable Order Form, Customer has purchased Cardinal’s standard deployment services. The following are “out of scope” services subject to additional charges on a time and materials basis: (i) delay caused by Customer’s failure to timely fulfill Customer’s responsibilities under the planning schedule or to make available the personnel, network configuration, or other system requirements as provided by Cardinal in writing to Customer; (ii) correction by Cardinal of errors or defects in Customer’s

 



 

data and/or additional reformatting or verification testing required as a result of such errors or defects; (iii) customizations; and (iv) any subsequent or additional implementations of the Software.
2.2 Maintenance Services. Cardinal shall provide Maintenance Services in accordance with Cardinal’s then-current Support Services customer guide. Maintenance Services shall include: (i) modifications to the Software as required by a change in applicable Federal or State laws or banking regulations; such modifications to be made as soon as possible after issuance of said laws or regulations; (ii) Updates as they are made available generally by Cardinal to other Cardinal licensees; (iii) telephone support service for questions or problems with the use of the Software from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. Central Time; with after hours telephone support coverage available around the clock for installed maintenance customers, by using the same support number and answering service; and (iv) Cardinal’s commercially diligent efforts to analyze and correct verifiable Errors. Maintenance Services do not include customizations to the Software, modification to interfaces, maintenance services with respect to any copy of the Software kept by Customer as part of an emergency backup plan, or data conversions; however, Cardinal may elect \ to provide the foregoing services on a time and materials basis at Customer’s request. Customer shall provide Cardinal all necessary specifications and documentation to enable Cardinal to develop and support the interfaces.
2.3 Other Services. Cardinal will provide other Services subject to availability, in accordance with Cardinal’s Services price list in effect at the time such Services are ordered.
3. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES Cardinal’s obligation to perform Services is contingent upon Customer’s timely performance of these Customer Responsibilities. Services performed by Cardinal as a result of Customer’s failure to fulfill these Customer Responsibilities are subject to Cardinal’s standard charges for Services in effect at the time of performance.
3.1 System Setup. Customer agrees to maintain an adequate staff of persons who are knowledgeable with the systems currently used by Customer to process data. Customer further agrees to cooperate fully with any reasonable requests of Cardinal necessary to complete the deployment and conversion in a timely and efficient manner. Cardinal will provide Customer written network and equipment specifications for proper operation of the Software. Customer is responsible for procuring and installing the appropriate equipment in accordance with Cardinal’s specifications, including cabling and any configuration or telecommunications changes required for communications, to enable Customer’s proper use of the Software as well as remote access to the Software by Cardinal for the remote performance of Maintenance Services.
3.2 Customer Network. Except as expressly stated herein, Customer assumes all responsibility for the interface between the Software and Customer’s computer systems, including, but not limited to, the provision of telephone and/or network connectivity. Customer is solely responsible for all aspects of operation of Customer’s computer networks, including router and firewall maintenance, data backups, network security and disaster recovery. Customer acknowledges that any initial and ongoing charges by any third parties, including but not limited to internet access, internet service providers, communication lines, telephone companies, domain name registration, certification authorities, or other services, are not part of this Agreement and are the obligation of Customer to purchase and maintain at Customer’s expense; in the event that Cardinal procures any of the foregoing on Customer’s behalf, Customer shall reimburse Cardinal for the actual cost of such third party services. Customer agrees that Cardinal shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever with respect to Customer’s purchase, operation or maintenance of Customer’s computer and telecommunications systems.
3.3 Customer Delays. The parties acknowledge that in the ordinary course of business unforeseen events may occasionally arise as a result of which Customer may de-prioritize Customer’s timely participation in any services engagement hereunder such that project delays occur. In the event of Customer project delays of more than ten (10) business days cumulatively, or more than five (5) business days in a single occurrence, Cardinal reserves the right to suspend performance of the Services and re-assign Cardinal personnel until Customer has provided to Cardinal a written Notice of Re-Engagement certifying Customer’s renewed availability to timely participate in the project.
3.4 Other. Customer shall perform all other Customer Responsibilities as agreed in writing by the parties in any Order Form.
4. PAYMENT OF FEES
4.1 Payment of Fees. Customer shall pay Cardinal the fees and expenses identified on the summary of fees set forth on any Order Form executed by the parties. All fees are due and payable within 10 days from the date of invoice. All deposits are due upon Customer’s execution of the applicable Order Form and are non-refundable. Maintenance Fees are due and payable annually in advance beginning on the Commencement Date and may increase by no more than the greater of 5% year-over-year or Cardinal’s then-current rates based on Customer’s asset size as of the date of invoice. Any amount not paid when due shall bear interest thereafter until paid in full at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.50%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by law. In addition to the charges under this Agreement, Customer agrees to pay the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Cardinal personnel attending any installation planning meeting or providing services, including, without limitation, expenses for travel, meals, and lodging.
4.3 Taxes. Customer shall pay or reimburse Cardinal for all federal, state, dominion, provincial, or local sales, use, excise or other taxes, fees or duties arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than taxes on the net income of Cardinal). If Customer challenges the applicability of any such taxes, Customer shall pay the same to Cardinal, and Customer may thereafter challenge such tax and seek a refund.
4.4 Audit. On reasonable notice and no more frequently than once per calendar year, Cardinal may examine Customer’s business records relating to Customer’s use of the Software. Customer shall immediately pay any delinquent or late fees discovered as a result of such audit. This section shall in no way diminish Cardinal’s confidentiality obligations with respect to Customer’s business records.
5. TERM AND TERMINATION
5.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for a period of 5 years following the initial Commencement Date of the products purchased hereunder; this Agreement shall thereafter automatically renew for additional one-year terms unless either party provides written notice to the other party of its intention not to renew this Agreement at least 90 days prior to the expiration of any term. In the event that Cardinal is acquired by another entity, the Customer will have the option to renew the existing license with that entity for an additional period of 5 years after the expiration of the current contract period. The annual maintenance fee for this renewal shall not exceed the maintenance fee for the most recent contract period by more than 5%.
5.2 Termination for Convenience. Customer may terminate this Agreement or any Order Form at any time without cause upon written notice to Cardinal. Customer may terminate this Agreement on or before July 31, 2007 after review of June 30, 2007 mid-year CBG Holdings financials without penalty. Client agrees to reimburse Cardinal for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred on Clients behalf.
5.3 Termination for Cause. Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement or any Order Form by giving written notice to the other if: (i) the other party ceases doing business as a going concern, becomes insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (ii) the other party is in material breach of this Agreement and has failed to cure such breach within 45 days after receipt of written notice thereof. Cardinal may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice in the case of a breach of Section 1 by Customer.
5.4 Effect of Termination. In the event of Customer’s termination pursuant to Section 5.2, all current and future sums due to Cardinal for the remainder of the then-current term under all terminated Order Forms shall become immediately due and payable.

Defined terms and Sections 5, 7, 10 and 11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
6. SOURCE CODE ESCROW Cardinal shall place a complete copy of the source materials (the “Source Materials”) for the Software (excluding any third party software) in escrow with a designated agent of Cardinal’s election (“Escrow Agent”) for the benefit of Customer. In the event Cardinal ceases to do business and the successor to Cardinal refuses to assume Cardinal’s obligations with respect to Maintenance Services, Customer may request Cardinal to direct the Escrow Agent to provide Customer with a copy of the Source Materials, and the

 



 

Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to provide such copy to Customer at Customer’s expense. Customer may use the Source Materials solely to maintain and support the then-current functionality of the Software for the sole benefit of Customer. Customer acknowledges that the Source Materials are the confidential and proprietary information of Cardinal.
7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND PRIVACY
7.1 Definition. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) which, (i) if in written, graphic, machine readable, or other tangible form, is marked as “Confidential” or “ Proprietary,” or (ii) if disclosed orally or by demonstration, is identified at the time of initial disclosure as confidential. The parties acknowledge that Confidential Information specifically includes this Agreement, the Software, Customer’s customer data, and each party’s trade secrets, business methods, business strategies, business forecasts, financial data, product prices and product roadmaps.
7.2 Confidentiality. Each party will treat as confidential all Confidential Information of the other party, will not use such Confidential Information except to fulfill the purpose of this Agreement, and will not disclose such Confidential Information except to the Receiving Party’s employees and subcontractors who specifically “need to know” such information and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, each party will use at least the same degree of care and security safeguards (and not less than a reasonable degree of care) it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other party. Each party will promptly notify the other party of any actual or suspected misuse or unauthorized disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information.
7.3 Customer’s Customer Information. For purposes of this Section 7.3, “Customer Information” shall have the meaning provided by the implementing regulations of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 USC Sections 6801-6809; the “GLBA”). Cardinal shall develop, implement and maintain appropriate administrative, technical and procedural measures designed to: (i) ensure the confidentiality and security of Customer’s Customer Information; (ii) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Customer’s Customer Information; (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of Customer’s Customer Information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer of Customer; and (iv) ensure the proper disposal of Customer’s Customer Information. In the event that Cardinal reasonably believes that Customer’s Customer Information has been disclosed to or accessed by an unauthorized individual, Cardinal shall: (i) immediately initiate response measures designed to identify the nature and scope of the incident, and (ii) notify Customer’s designated security officer (or other contact as designated by Customer to Cardinal) as soon as practicable, subject to any law enforcement investigation. Cardinal shall act in compliance with the applicable provisions of the GLBA with respect to Cardinal’s use, storage, and disposal of Customer’s Customer Information hereunder. Cardinal shall obligate, by written agreement, its employees and independent contractors who have access to Customer’s Customer Information to adhere to the Cardinal policies and practices implementing the foregoing Cardinal obligations.
7.4 Exceptions. Confidential Information excludes information that: (i) was in the public domain at the time of disclosure or has entered the public domain without fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was know to the Receiving Party without restriction of confidentiality at the time of disclosure; (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party; (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use of the Confidential Information; or (v) becomes known to the Receiving Party, without restriction of confidentiality, from a source other than the Disclosing Party, without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party. The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable law or regulating agency, provided that Receiving Party provides notice to Disclosing Party prior to such disclosure, and reasonably cooperates with Disclosing Party’s efforts to obtain a protective order or otherwise protect or restrict such disclosure. Each party may disclose this Agreement to its accountants, bankers, investors, attorneys, and others under a duty of confidentiality in connection with the information disclosed.
8. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF The parties acknowledge that violation or threatened violation by one party of the provisions of Sections 1 or 7 would cause irreparable harm to the other party not adequately compensable by monetary damages. In addition to other relief, it is agreed that injunctive relief shall be available without necessity of posting bond to prevent any actual or threatened violation of such provisions. Nothing contained in this Section 8 will be construed as prohibiting the parties from additionally pursuing monetary damages or any other remedies for such actual and threatened violations.
