1. DEFINITIONS . As used in this Agreement, the defined terms shall have the respective meanings as set forth in Section 14.
2. PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS.
2.1. Performance of EPP Services.
A. By Metavante Affiliates or Subcontractors. Digital Insight understands and agrees that the actual performance of the EPP Services may be made by the divisions or subsidiaries of Metavante Corporation, Affiliates of Metavante Corporation, or subcontractors of any of the foregoing Entities (collectively, the Eligible Providers). For purposes of this Agreement, performance of the EPP Services by any Eligible Provider shall be deemed performance by Metavante Corporation itself. Metavante shall remain fully responsible for the performance or non-performance of each Eligible Provider under this Agreement, to the same extent if Metavante itself performed or failed to perform such services. Digital Insight agrees to look solely to Metavante, and not to any Eligible Provider, for satisfaction of any claims Digital Insight may have arising out of this Agreement or the performance or nonperformance of Services.
B. Right to Perform Services in Most Efficient Manner. Digital Insight understands and agrees that, in providing EPP Services for Digital Insight hereunder, Metavante may use the most effective or efficient means deemed reasonable or necessary by Metavante in its sole discretion, provided that the foregoing shall not affect Metavantes obligation to provide the EPP Services in accordance with the Performance Warranty, the Service Levels, or other terms of this Agreement. For example, Metavante has the right to consolidate and remit all payments for a particular payee to that payees central payment processing center rather than remitting any Users payment to a different address of the payee designated by the User.
C. Payee Contacts. Digital Insight authorizes and directs Metavante to contact payees with respect to disputes or issues regarding payments processed by or for Digital Insight, Customers or Users through the Payment System.
2.2. General. Beginning on the Effective Date and continuing for as long as this Agreement remains in effect, Metavante grants to Digital Insight and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable right to market the EPP Services directly to Customers, and Digital Insight agrees to offer the EPP Services to Customers. Digital Insight agrees that it is responsible for assuring compliance with this Agreement by those Affiliates reselling EPP Services under this Agreement, and the term Customer shall be deemed to include financial institutions signing agreements with Digital Insights Affiliates for the EPP Services. Digital Insight agrees to pay any and all fees owed under this Agreement for EPP Services rendered for its Affiliates.

Digital Insight shall also pay any collection fees (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by Metavante in collecting payment of the charges and any other amounts for which Digital Insight is liable under this Agreement.

(3) | In addition to any other reports required hereunder, Metavante shall provide to Digital Insight a report with each monthly invoice containing information regarding usage of the EPP Services by Users during the preceding month as further described in Schedule E.

In the event that Digital Insight makes modifications to the interface between Digital Insights applications and Metavantes Payment System, Digital Insight must re-test and re-certify the applications with Metavante. Metavante shall provide Digital Insight with notice of any material changes to specifications for interfacing with Metavantes Payment System. Digital Insight shall modify its interface as necessary to comply with such specifications and shall re-test and re-certify the modified interface with Metavante. Metavante shall not be responsible for any nonperformance of the Payment Services or failure of the Payment System in the event that Digital Insight shall fail to obtain Metavantes certification of Digital Insights front end applications or any modifications thereto. Metavante will provide Digital Insight with up to one-hundred (100) hours of technical support during each one (1) year period following the Effective Date, including technical consulting and other assistance as may be reasonably requested by Digital Insight for development, testing, certification, operation, maintenance, improvement and expansion of the Digital Insights interface to the Payment System. Any Technical Support in excess of such annual amount shall be provided at Metavantes then standard rates for such services. As part of its technical support, Metavante shall (i) provide Digital Insight with a test environment (including, without limitation, any hardware or software) as necessary for the testing of the Digital Insights interface to the Payment System and (ii) provide certification of the Digital Insight interface following each testing or upon the reasonable request of Digital Insight.
G. Customer Communications. Digital Insight shall not issue any statements, correspondence or communications to Customers which reference Metavante or Metavantes performance of the EPP Services without Metavantes prior written approval. Metavante shall not issue any statements, correspondence or communications to Customers which reference Digital Insight or Digital Insights performance of its services without Digital Insights prior written approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be prohibited from repeating or re-using statements, correspondence, or communications which were previously approved in writing by the other party, or from using or distributing materials prepared or approved by the other party, unless and until such other party shall revoke such approval in writing.

Digital Insight agrees that Metavante shall be the primary provider of first tier support for the bill payment service and will market Metavante as the preferred first tier support provider. While first tier support may be provided by the Customer or Digital Insight, the quality of first tier support is a reflection on the bill payment service provided by Metavante. Digital Insight agrees to make best commercial efforts to ensure proper training of each Customer taking on first tier support to reduce risk of a negative impression of Metavantes bill payment services. In the event that a Customer solicits bids for providers of first tier support, Digital Insight may submit a bid for the business, with Metavantes prior written consent. Within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, Digital Insight shall update its pricing schedules and sales and marketing materials to include pricing for Metavantes first tier support.

2.6 Payments.
A. PROCESSING. Based on the instructions of Digital Insight or the Customer, Metavante shall either (a) charge (via ACH, paper drafts, or other means) each End Users designated account for bill payment activities initiated by the End User or (b) charge the Customers settlement account, as designated by the Customer or Digital Insight, to fund such payments. Digital Insight authorizes and directs Metavante to contact payees and End Users with respect to payments processed by Metavante. All payee data and Metavantes payee database shall be Metavantes property, which may be used by Metavante without limitation for purposes of maintaining and providing Pay Anyone bill payment services for Metavantes clients. Metavante shall have the right to remit, stop, cancel, and manage payments and ACH re-issuance and returns as deemed most reasonable by Metavante. Metavante may set an expiration date for payment checks. From time to time, Metavante may contact End Users to recover payment errors (common sources of payment errors include incorrect recipient (payee); delivered incorrectly by the postal service; consolidation error directed the payment to an incorrect party; stop-payment request honored and funds re-credited to End Users account, but the check was paid; Metavante error; or duplicate payment made to payee). In the case of payment errors, Metavante will always contact the payee first to attempt direct retrieval of the funds. If Metavante is unable to retrieve the funds and the End User received benefit of the payment, Metavante may seek reimbursement from the End User. Metavante will notify Digital Insight forty-five (45) days in advance of any change to its payment processing procedure that would affect the timing of payments or the means of debiting the End Users account.
B. FUNDING RISK. Funding Risk means the risk that a payment will not be funded because the End Users deposit account does not have a balance sufficient to fund the payment. A payment that is remitted by Metavante but not funded by the End User is an Unfunded Payment.
(1) Metavante shall establish initial transaction and daily limits of *** per transaction (the Transaction Limit) and *** per End User per day (the Daily Limit). As part of the risk-managed payment model implemented for Digital Insight, Metavante assumes initial Funding Risk for payments of up to the Transaction Limit, up to the Daily Limit per End User per day. Metavante will increase the Transaction Limit or the Daily Limit for any Customer or End User upon Digital Insights written request, in which case Digital Insight shall be responsible to reimburse Metavante for the amount by which any Unfunded Payment exceeds the Transaction Limit or the amount by which total Unfunded Payments for any End User for any day exceeds the Daily Limit. Metavante reserves the right to take any action Metavante deems reasonably necessary to reduce Unfunded Payments or mitigate the Funding Risk, including, but not limited to, refusing to process additional bill payment requests from any End User or End Users deemed by Metavante to present an unacceptable risk, and/or reducing the Transaction Limit or Daily Limit for any Customer(s) or End User(s). Metavante shall notify Digital Insight forty-five (45) days in advance of any change to Metavantes NSF policies or procedures.
(2) Digital Insight agrees in good faith to assist Metavante in reducing losses associated with Unfunded Payments. Digital Insight will communicate to its Customers that the Customer is responsible to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Unfunded Payments and to assist Metavante in collection/recovery of funds for those payments. Digital Insight shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts made in good faith to assist Metavante in recovering of funds from Users to satisfy Unfunded Payments.
(3) Metavante reserves the right to aggressively pursue reimbursement of bill payment funds, regardless of reason, from any User directly. In accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, Digital Insight agrees to support Metavantes efforts to recoup any losses due to non-sufficient funds (NSF) or for any other reason that Metavante is unable to obtain funds from the User for a payment that was made by Metavante. Digital Insight also agrees to notify its Customers of Metavantes right to obtain reimbursement of bill payment funds from an End User.
(4) In the event losses to Metavante from Unfunded Payments exceed *** in any month, Digital Insight agrees to formally meet with Metavante to review these losses and consider appropriate processes to assist Metavante in recovering future Unfunded Payments more effectively. Digital Insight and Metavante will create and document a process for working with Customers to assist Metavante in recovery of Unfunded Payments. Metavante will not be responsible for any costs associated with implementing these processes at Digital Insight or its Customers.
