Prior to the destruction of any books and records relating to the Assets Sold, the party in possession of such books and records shall offer them to the other party hereto.

by the Bank in connection with the Merchant Business prior to the Closing Date. The Bank shall perform, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause TIB, Paymentech and Authorize.Net, as appropriate, to perform, such services substantially in the same manner and with no less than the same degree of care as performed in connection with the Merchant Business prior to the Closing Date, and shall otherwise perform, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause TIB, Paymentech and Authorize.Net, as appropriate, to perform, such services in accordance with such performance standards, including underwriting guidelines, as are specified by Elavon. In performing such services, the Bank shall follow, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause TIB, Paymentech and Authorize.Net, as appropriate, to follow, the reasonable instructions of Elavon.

 

(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Transition Period, the Bank shall continue to provide credit to Merchants on the same business day deposits are made by Merchants for Draft deposits (provided such deposits are made prior to 2:00 p.m. closing; Draft deposits made after 2:00 p.m. closing shall be considered to be made on the following business day) and on the day of receipt of ACH notice for Credit Card and Debit Card transactions processed electronically. The Bank shall not be entitled to reimbursement for cost of funds for providing such credit.

 

(c)    During the Transition Period, and in performing services hereunder, the Bank shall comply, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause TIB, Paymentech and Authorize.Net, as appropriate, to comply, in all respects with the rules and regulations of the Credit Card Associations and the EFT Networks, and shall not take, or fail to take, any actions with respect to the Merchant Business which would constitute a violation of such rules and regulations.

During the Transition Period, the Bank shall pay to Elavon monthly (by the 25th day of each month) 85% of the Net Transition Income for (i) all original sales transactions generated pursuant to the Assets Sold and occurring on or after the Effective Date, and (ii) all the other revenue generated by the Assets Sold and occurring on or after the Effective Date. At the time of each such payment, the Bank shall also furnish to Elavon a certificate of an authorized financial officer certifying the amount due to Elavon and showing the calculation thereof in such reasonable detail as Elavon may request, as well as all relevant supporting documentation, including without limitation, the Processor Monthly Statements.

(b)    Excluding any expenses listed on the Processor Monthly Statement or used in calculating Net Transition Income in accordance with Section 3.3(a) above, Elavon shall reimburse the Bank for those expenses incurred by the Bank during the Transition Period that are related to the conversion and transitional activities described in this Article III and the continued conduct of the Merchant Business during the Transition Period (collectively, “Transition Processing Expenses”) according to and in the amounts set forth on Schedule 3.3(b). All reimbursements for Transition Processing Expenses hereunder shall be made within thirty (30) days following Elavon’s receipt from the Bank of written evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Elavon, detailing the amount of the reimbursement due pursuant to this Section 3.3(b).

 

3.4    Employees.  During the Transition Period, the Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Merchant Business Employees will continue in the employ of the Bank or Parent, performing the duties relating to the Merchant Business theretofore performed by it, as reasonably instructed by Elavon during the Transition Period. Further, the Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide adequate and appropriate skilled staffing in connection with the operation of the Merchant Business during the Transition Period, provided that the Bank and Parent shall not offer employment to or hire any individual or entity to provide services to the Merchant Business without the prior written consent of Elavon (any such Person employed by the Bank or Parent shall be added to and treated as a “Merchant Business Employee” as defined in Section 6.14 hereof).

 

3.5    Clearing Bank Arrangement.

 

(a)    During the Transition Period, and in order to permit an orderly transition of the processing of Credit Card and Debit Card transactions, the Bank shall continue to act as a clearing bank for Elavon with respect to Credit Card and Debit Card transactions processed under the Merchant Agreements, all in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Credit Card Associations and the EFT Networks.

 

(b)    At the reasonable request of Elavon, the Bank shall execute appropriate documents to evidence the transfer of the clearing bank responsibilities under the Merchant Agreements to the Person designated by Elavon to effect such transfer. In addition, the Bank shall render such other necessary assistance as Elavon may reasonably request.

 

3.6    Extension of Transition Period.  If requested by Elavon in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the Transition Date and agreed to, in writing by the Bank, and notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, the Bank shall continue to provide, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause TIB, Paymentech and Authorize.Net, as appropriate, to provide, those services described in this Article III for such period beyond the Transition Date on the same terms and conditions set forth herein as agreed.

 

3.7    Remedies.  Each of Parent, the Bank and any successors-in-interest to Parent or the Bank acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Bank set forth in this Article III are necessary for Elavon to receive the benefits bargained for by Elavon under this Agreement. Each of the Bank and Parent acknowledges that a breach of obligations of the Bank contained in

 

7



 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BANCORP

 

this Article III will cause irreparable damage to Elavon, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, each of the Bank, Parent and any successors-in-interest to the Bank or Parent agrees that if there is a breach of the obligations contained in this Article III, then Elavon shall be entitled to equitable relief, including but not limited to specific performance of the obligations set forth in Article III, without posting bond or other security unless otherwise required by applicable law, as well as money damages insofar as they can be determined.

The Claims Notice may be amended on one or more occasions with respect to the amount of the Asserted Liability or the Loss at any time prior to final resolution of the obligation relating to the Asserted Liability or the Loss. Failure of the Indemnitee to give promptly the notice required by this Section 11.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations to indemnify under this Article XI.

 

11.4         Opportunity to Contest.  The Indemnifying Party may elect to compromise or contest, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects to compromise or contest such Asserted Liability, it shall within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Asserted Liability so requires) of the date of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the Claims Notice notify the Indemnitee or Indemnitees of its intent to do so by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnitee (the “Contest Notice”), and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the compromise or contest of such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or contest the Asserted Liability, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the Indemnitee (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) shall have the right to pay, compromise or contest such Asserted Liability on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the compromise or contest of such Asserted Liability at any time before final settlement or determination thereof. Anything in this Article XI to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Indemnitee shall have the right, at its own cost and expense and for its own account, to compromise or contest any Asserted Liability, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnitees’ written consent, settle or compromise any Asserted Liability or consent to entry of any judgment which does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Asserted Liability. In any event, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may participate, at their own expense, in the contest of such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to contest any Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for, shall make its officers and employees available, on a basis reasonably consistent with their other duties, in connection with, and shall otherwise cooperate with, such defense.

 

11.5         Indemnity Claims.

 

(a)           The representations and warranties contained herein, in any other Purchase Document, or in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall not be extinguished by the Closing but shall survive the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.5(b) hereof with respect to the time periods within which claims for indemnity must be asserted, and the covenants and agreements of the Bank and Elavon contained herein shall survive without limitation as to time except as may be otherwise specified herein. No investigation or other examination of the Bank or the Merchant Business by Elavon, or its designees or representatives, shall affect the term of survival of any representation or warranty contained herein, in any other Purchase Document, or in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, or the term of the right of the Elavon Protected Parties or the Bank Protected Parties to seek indemnification as set forth in Section 11.5(b).

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BANCORP

 

(b)           All claims for indemnification under Sections 11.1(i) or (ii) and 11.2(i) or (ii) shall be asserted no later than eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date. All claims for indemnification under Sections 11.1(iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) and 11.2(iii) and (iv) may be asserted until, and shall be asserted no later than, thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect thereto.

 

(c)           Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent any party hereto from making a claim for a Loss hereunder for potential or contingent claims or demands provided the notice of Loss sets forth the specific basis for any such potential or contingent claim or demand to the extent then feasible and the Indemnitee has reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim or demand may become actual.

 

11.6         Limitation on Indemnification Rights.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Purchase Document to the contrary:

 

(a)           The Bank will not have any liability to any Elavon Protected Party with respect to all claims under this Agreement (other than the Excluded Matters, as defined below) until the Elavon Protected Parties shall have incurred on a cumulative basis Losses exceeding Twenty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($20,000.00 USD) (the “Basket”), at which point the Bank shall be liable for all Losses incurred by the Elavon Protected Parties, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to any such Losses arising out of or resulting from the actual fraud or willful misconduct of the Bank. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Excluded Matters” include (A) claims under Section 11.1(ii), but only if such breach is an intentional and willful breach by Bank or Parent, (B) claims under Section 11.1(iii), and (C) claims arising out of the fraud of Parent and/or Bank.

 

(b)           The maximum aggregate liability of the Bank for all indemnification amounts owing to Elavon Protected Parties for all claims under this Agreement (other than Excluded Matters) shall not exceed Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000 USD) (the “Cap”).

 

11.7         Mitigation of Damages.  In the case of any claims that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article XI, if there is a reasonable likelihood that such Indemnified Party may have a direct right of recovery under insurance policies or indemnification arrangements maintained by such Indemnified Party (or its affiliates) with subcontractors or other third parties, (i) the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such right of recovery, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall pursue enforcement of such right of recovery for so long as the pursuit thereof is commercially reasonable, with the determination of whether such pursuit is commercially reasonable to be in the sole discretion of the Indemnified Party, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of such right of recovery as contemplated by clause (ii) above. To the extent that an Indemnified Party obtains recovery in respect of any such claims from any such third parties, the amount of any Losses with respect to any claim for which indemnification is available under this Article XI shall be reduced by the amount of such insurance proceeds or other such funds realized or paid to the Indemnified Party, net of any applicable deductible,

premium adjustments or self-insurance retention and all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in obtaining such recovery.

 

11.8         Exclusive Remedy.  Except for claims based upon the actual fraud of the Bank and/or Parent, and except for those provisions of this Agreement or another Purchase Document for which injunctive relief is expressly available, the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Article XI shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of all Elavon Protected Parties in respect of any breach of or default under this Agreement or any other Purchase Document by the Bank or Parent, and Elavon hereby waives and releases any and all statutory, equitable, or common law remedy it may have in respect of any breach of or default under this Agreement and the other Purchase Documents.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BANCORP

 

provide the Bank access to all merchant applications and merchant agreements to be used in connection with the Merchant Services, including supplies for cash advances to be effected by the Bank. The Bank covenants and agrees that it will only use and provide to merchants the applications and merchant agreements, and advertising, marketing, promotional and other related materials (collectively, “Auxiliary Documents”), supplied by or at the direction of, or approved in writing in advance, by Elavon. From time to time at the reasonable request of Elavon, the Bank will provide enhanced promotional services or opportunities to or on behalf of Elavon such as the provision of sales or marketing personnel or employee incentives. Further, the Bank shall provide to Elavon such office space at the Bank’s locations as reasonably requested by Elavon, and as agreed by the Bank.

All such referrals shall be communicated to Elavon by the Bank in a manner to be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto. Upon any such merchant referral, Elavon shall process such referral and corresponding merchant application in accordance with its practices and procedures, and otherwise in accordance with the credit policy, risk and underwriting guidelines then in effect for each of Elavon and the Member (collectively, the “Underwriting Guidelines”).

subsidize such discount revenue by payment to Elavon of such amounts as Elavon may require. The Bank must agree to any such subsidy in writing in the form and upon such terms as are acceptable to Elavon; provided, however, that in no event shall Elavon or the Member be obligated to enter into a Merchant Agreement with any referred merchant with respect to whom the Bank has offered such a subsidy.

In the event that the Bank elects not to offer such assurances and guarantees to Elavon and the Member pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), the Bank shall provide Elavon with written notice of such election. After delivery to Elavon and the Member of such notice, or, if applicable, after Elavon has elected in writing not to enter into a Merchant Agreement with any referred merchant with respect to whom the Bank has offered such assurances or guarantees, the Bank may refer such merchant to another provider of Merchant Services, and such referral shall not be construed as a breach of this Agreement or the Non-Competition Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank and Elavon acknowledge and agree that during the “Transition Period” (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) and only during the Transition Period, the Merchant Account Royalty payable with respect to the Merchants (but excluding the Merchant Account Royalty payable with respect to the Referred Merchants) shall be paid pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement and not pursuant to this Section 2.3(a).

 

(b)           The Merchant Account Royalty and Referral Fees shall be calculated on a calendar month basis and shall be paid, in arrears, within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month with respect to which the Merchant Account Royalty and Referral Fees are due hereunder.

2.4           Ownership of Merchant Agreements.  Each of Elavon, the Bank and Parent acknowledges and agrees that any merchant that is a party to a Merchant Agreement does and shall have a direct business relationship with Elavon.

The Bank acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any Merchant Agreement to which the Bank is a party, the Bank shall, upon the request of Elavon in Elavon’s sole discretion, and with respect to any Merchant or Referred Merchant designated by Elavon, assign to Elavon and the Member all of the Bank’s rights and obligations with respect to the Merchant Agreement relating to such Merchant or Referred Merchant. Upon any such request, the Bank agrees to execute all instruments and documents as may reasonably be requested by Elavon in order to effectuate the assignment of such rights and obligations.

(a)           Elavon, the Bank and Parent acknowledge that, in the performance of the obligations of each of Elavon, the Bank and Parent under this Agreement, each of the parties will be in possession of confidential and proprietary information of the other parties and of Merchants and Referred Merchants, including customer lists and customer information, customer account numbers and account documentation, the status of any account, pricing information, computer access codes, instruction and/or procedural manuals, business and financial plans, the Operative Documents, and any other data or information in the possession of Elavon, the Bank or Parent which is competitively sensitive and not generally known to the public (“Confidential Information”). Elavon, the Bank and Parent also acknowledge that each of the parties has an obligation to protect and maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information. Each of Elavon, Bank and Parent agree to use all reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information and to not disclose such Confidential Information for any purpose other than to the extent necessary for the performance of the obligations contemplated under this Agreement, the Merchant Agreements, and the Merchant Services conducted in connection herewith and therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank and Parent shall not disclose such Confidential Information to TIB or any other third-party processor, other than (i) such Confidential Information as may already be in TIB’s possession by virtue of its existing relationship with the Bank, (ii) such Confidential Information as may be necessary for TIB or other processor to perform the activities contemplated by Article III of the Purchase Agreement, or (iii) such Confidential Information that relates to (A) Excluded Merchants, (B) TK Global Merchants, and (C) merchants referred by the Bank to TIB or such other processors in compliance with Sections 2.1(b) and 2.2(b) hereof. Each party shall use all reasonable efforts to inform its employees, agents, representatives and independent contractors of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and to cause them to comply with the terms of this Section 2.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank and Elavon acknowledge and agree that the restrictions contained in this Section 2.8 shall not apply to any disclosures of such Confidential Information by Elavon or the Bank, as applicable, in connection with, or as may be required relating to (a) the provision by Elavon of Merchant Services under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents, or otherwise in connection with Elavon’s or the Bank’s performance of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, (b) such disclosure as may be required by applicable law or regulation or Payment Network Regulations, (c) such disclosure as is contained in or required to prepare any financial statements (including the notes thereto), (d) appropriate or necessary disclosure to banking authorities or regulators, including as may result from Elavon’s status as an affiliate of U.S. Bancorp or another bank, or (e) disclosure to U.S. Bancorp’s Corporate and Compliance Units. The covenants contained in this Section 2.8 shall survive for the duration of this Agreement and a period of three (3) years after the termination or expiration hereof.

(b)           Further, each of Elavon, the Bank and Parent agrees to comply with the applicable provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-102, 113 Stat. 1138), as it may be amended from time to time, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Act”). The Act imposes certain obligations on financial institutions with respect to the confidentiality and non-disclosure of consumers’ Nonpublic Personal Information (as defined in the Act) provided to such financial institutions. The parties recognize that due to the business nature of this Agreement, which relates to the provision of transaction processing services to merchants, most, if not all, of the information transferred pursuant to this Agreement will not be Nonpublic Personal Information. Nonetheless, each of Elavon, the Bank and Parent recognizes its obligations under the Act with regard to any Nonpublic Personal Information transferred pursuant to this Agreement and will comply with the applicable provisions of the Act with regard to any such information.

 

(c)           If Elavon, the Bank or Parent breaches its duties under this Section 2.8, the parties agree that the nonbreaching party will suffer irreparable harm and the total amount of monetary damages therefor will be impossible to calculate and will therefore be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that the nonbreaching party shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief against the breaching party, its employees, agents, representatives, or independent contractors, and the other rights and remedies to which any of them may be entitled at law, in equity and under this Agreement.

 

2.9           Non-Competition Agreement.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in connection with the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, the parties have entered into the Non-Competition Agreement of even date herewith and that any assignment of this Agreement by the Bank or Parent shall also be deemed to be an assignment of the Non-Competition Agreement. Further, the failure of any such assignee to expressly assume the Non-Competition Agreement shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement.

 

2.10         Sale of Bank.  Each of the Bank and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement shall apply to each of the Bank and Parent and to any purchaser, transferee, or assignee (a “Successor Entity”), of all or substantially all of the Bank’s or Parent’s respective assets or any portion of the Bank’s branches. The failure of a Successor Entity to expressly assume this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement.

 

2.11         Sale of TK Global Merchants.  If, during the term of this Agreement, the Bank desires to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise change the merchant processor of the TK Global Agreements or any of the TK Global Merchants, the Bank shall provide written notice to Elavon of such desire and shall provide Elavon an exclusive negotiation period of sixty (60) days, during which the Bank shall negotiate in good faith with Elavon regarding the purchase or provision of merchant processing services, as applicable, by Elavon of the TK Global Agreements and the TK Global Merchants. If, following such negotiation period, Elavon and the Bank cannot reach agreement on the terms on which Elavon would purchase the TK Global Agreements or otherwise provide Merchant Services to the applicable TK Global Merchants, then the Bank shall

 

11



 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BANCORP

 

be free to sell the TK Global Agreements to, or otherwise conclude alternate processing arrangements with, a third party, and such sale or arrangement shall not be construed as a breach of this Agreement or the Non-Competition Agreement.

 

2.12         Service Levels.

 

(a)           During the term of this Agreement, Elavon shall comply with the service levels set forth on Schedule 2.12 (the “Service Levels”).

 

(b)           The Bank and Elavon acknowledge and agree that the Bank’s right to terminate this Agreement in connection with or arising out of Elavon’s failure to comply with the Service Levels is set forth exclusively in this Section 2.12(b).

 

(c)           Failure by Elavon to meet or exceed any of the Service Levels shall not constitute an uncured default of a material obligation of Elavon under Section 5.3(a) hereof unless and until such failure constitutes a “Persistent and Critical Service Failure,” as defined below. A “Persistent and Critical Service Failure” will constitute an uncured default of a material obligation of Elavon under Section 5.3(a) hereof, and, as such, will be grounds for termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3(a), except that none of the cure periods in such Section 5.3(a) shall be applicable.

 

(d)           In the event that Elavon fails to meet or surpass at least 15 of the 18 Service Levels listed on Schedule 2.12 in any calendar quarter during the term hereof (any such failure, a “Service Failure”), such calendar quarter shall be deemed an “Under-Performance Period,” and Elavon shall give the Bank notice thereof, and shall otherwise promptly take commercially reasonable efforts to address and remedy all such Service Failures that contributed to such Under-Performance Period.

 

(e)           In the event of two consecutive Under-Performance Periods, Elavon shall give the Bank notice thereof and, in addition to its obligations set forth in Section 2.12(b)(ii) above, shall be available for daily or weekly calls, at the Bank’s discretion, to address, monitor and remedy such Service Failures.

 

(f)            Thereafter, in the event of another consecutive Under-Performance Period, such circumstance shall be deemed a “Persistent and Critical Service Failure” which shall be grounds for termination of this Agreement pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 5.3(a) without reference to any of the cure periods provided therein; provided, that if the Bank does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3(a) within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of such Persistent and Critical Service Failure, then such right shall lapse unless and until another Persistent and Critical Service Failure occurs.

 

2.13         Non-Solicitation.  During the term of this Agreement, Elavon will not solicit and will not facilitate the solicitation by its affiliates of, Merchants or Referred Merchants for the provision of Banking Services by any party other than the Bank, including by the use of Bank’s or Parent’s Confidential Information.

2.14         Loaner Terminals.  For the term of this Agreement, Elavon shall provide the Bank with up to five (5) working credit card terminals, which terminals are to be loaned out temporarily to Merchants and Referred Merchants, as needed. The brand, model and specifications of such terminals provided by Elavon shall be chosen by Elavon in its sole discretion.

 

ARTICLE III

 

CASH ADVANCES

 

3.1           Cash Advance Procedure.  During the term of this Agreement (including any extensions or renewals hereof), the Bank will continue to make advances of cash (“Cash Advances”) to holders of Financial Transaction Devices in accordance with the Payment Networks Regulations and Elavon’s procedures, and shall cause all records of such Cash Advances to be delivered to Elavon in accordance with such terms and conditions as Elavon may reasonably request, the Payment Network Regulations and Elavon’s procedures, and shall otherwise fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Section 3.1. During the term of this Agreement (including any extensions or renewals hereof), the Bank shall use Elavon and the Member as the exclusive processor of Cash Advances made by the Bank.

TERM AND TERMINATION

 

5.1           Term.  The term of this Agreement shall extend for an initial term of ten (10) years from the date hereof (the “Initial Term”), and shall thereafter be automatically extended for consecutive two-year renewal terms, provided that neither the Bank nor Elavon gives written notice to the other of its intent not to renew not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any renewal term.

 

5.2           Termination by Elavon.  In the event that:

 

(a)           the Bank defaults in the performance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, and fails to cure such default within 30 days after written notice (which notice indicates that Elavon may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.2(a) if such default is not cured as provided herein) and demand for cure by Elavon; provided, however, if, upon receipt of such written notice, the Bank promptly commences and diligently pursues the cure to completion as soon as reasonably possible,

 

15



 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BANCORP

 

then such 30-day period shall be extended for the period of time which is reasonably necessary to cure the default, but in no event more than three months after such written notice; provided, further, that in the event such default remains uncured after the passage of the time period specified herein, that a second notice shall have been sent to the chief executive officer of the Bank notifying such officer of such uncured default and stating that Elavon intends to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.2(a) within ten (10) days thereafter unless the default is cured within ten (10) days of the Bank’s receipt of such notice; and provided, further, that in the event the Bank disputes that fact (or the fact that the default is a default of a “material obligation”), then the provisions of Section 8.13 shall have been complied with and any such dispute resolved as provided therein; or

 

(b)           any material amount due and payable to Elavon by the Bank under this Agreement is not paid within fifteen (15) days after the Bank receives written notice (which notice indicates that Elavon may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) if such non-payment is not cured as provided herein) of such non-payment, and demand for cure; provided, however, that in the event such non-payment remains uncured after the passage of the time period specified herein, that a second notice shall have been sent to the chief executive officer of Parent or the Bank notifying such officer of such uncured non-payment and stating that Elavon intends to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) within ten (10) days thereafter unless the default is cured within ten (10) days of the Bank’s receipt of such notice; and provided, further, that in the event the Bank disputes that fact (or the fact that such non-payment is of a “material” amount), then the provisions of Section 8.13 shall have been complied with and any such dispute resolved as provided therein;

then, in any such case, Elavon, at its option, may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Parent and the Bank.

 

5.3                                 Termination by the Bank.  In the event that:

the Bank a demand deposit account, the Member shall retain the right to charge such account pursuant to the terms of the applicable Merchant Agreement.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the exercise by any party of its rights under this Article V, no termination of this Agreement shall relieve any of the parties hereto of its liability for the payment or performance of any obligation accrued prior to the effective date of such termination (including any indemnification obligation arising hereunder, whether or not notice of such indemnification claim has been given before such termination).

 

(c)           Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement by any party hereto pursuant to this Article V or otherwise, the Bank shall cooperate with Elavon and shall promptly execute any and all documents and instruments reasonably requested by Elavon in order to effectuate an orderly transition of (i) the Merchant Services provided to any Merchant or Referred Merchant, and (ii) any Member responsibilities held by the Bank in connection herewith or therewith (as contemplated by Section 2.4 hereof).

 

(d)           The Bank and Parent each acknowledge and agree that due to the anticipated long term nature of this Agreement, a material breach of this Agreement by the Bank, including any repudiation or action that has the same or similar effect as a repudiation by the Bank or any successor in interest to the Bank (a “Material Breach”), including without limitation the California Department of Financial Institutions, FDIC or any other governmental entity that is appointed conservator or receiver of the Bank, would cause Elavon to suffer considerable damages, the amount of which would be difficult or impossible to estimate.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

BANK TRANSACTIONS

 

6.1                                 Generally.

 

(a)           The Bank (for purposes of this Article VI, the defined term “Bank” shall be deemed to include any Parent Entity, as the context may require), and Elavon understand and agree that the Bank and/or other Parent Entities may, from time to time, consummate transactions (for purposes of this Article VI, a “Transaction”) with other financial institutions or other persons or entities (a “Third Party”), through stock or asset acquisition, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, where such Third Party (i) owns a merchant portfolio, and/or (ii) owns bank branches that may be used as a marketing/distribution channel for Merchant Services, and/or (iii) otherwise engages in Merchant Services (any such portfolio, and/or bank branch marketing/distribution channel, and/or other engagement in Merchant Services, being referred to herein as a “New Portfolio”).

 

(b)           For purposes of this Article VI, any independent, unrelated and unaffiliated Third Party that acquires the Bank in a Change in Control, or acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Bank, shall be deemed a “Specified Third Party”

 

18



 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BANCORP

 

hereunder and the New Portfolio of the Specified Third Party immediately prior to consummation of such Transaction shall be deemed a “Specified Portfolio” hereunder. For purposes hereof, “Change in Control” means any of the following: (i) a merger or consolidation or any similar transaction by any “person” or “group” (as such terms are defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which would cause such person or group to become the beneficial owner of securities representing 50% or more of the voting power of the Bank, (ii) a purchase, lease or other acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Bank, (iii) a purchase or other acquisition of “beneficial ownership” of the Bank by any “person” or “group” (as such terms are defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), including by way of merger, share exchange or otherwise, which would cause such person or group to become the beneficial owner of securities representing 50% or more of the voting power of the Bank, or (iv) a tender or exchange offer to acquire securities representing 50% or more of the voting power of, the Bank.

 

(c)           With respect to any such Transaction and with respect to any such New Portfolio that is not a Specified Portfolio, the Bank and Elavon shall, through compliance with the terms of this Article VI, use commercially reasonable efforts to mutually negotiate and agree upon a transaction pursuant to which Elavon shall, subject to the terms of this Article VI, purchase such New Portfolio upon mutually-agreed terms and conditions.

 

(d)           The Bank shall notify Elavon of the execution by it or any other Parent Entity of any agreement or entry into any arrangement that, if consummated, would result in a New Portfolio (the “New Portfolio Notice,” which shall affirmatively specify whether the New Portfolio is a Specified Portfolio). The Bank shall give such New Portfolio Notice as soon as circumstances and applicable law allow, which the parties contemplate would in no event be later than promptly following the first public announcement of any such agreement. To the extent the New Portfolio is a Specified Portfolio, the provisions of Section 6.2 shall not apply; rather, the provisions of Section 6.3 shall apply.

 

6.2                                 New Portfolios that are Not Specified Portfolios.

 

(a)           Elavon, in cooperation with the Bank, shall promptly take commercially reasonable efforts to value the New Portfolio and to plan the process by which such New Portfolio, if purchased by Elavon as herein permitted, would be converted to Elavon’s systems and otherwise integrated into Elavon’s operations. Elavon and the Bank shall concurrently undertake exclusive negotiations, with respect to the value of the New Portfolio, the consideration proposed to be paid for the New Portfolio, and the proposed timing of such New Portfolio purchase by Elavon. This period of exclusive negotiation shall end not sooner than one hundred eighty (180) days following the consummation of the Transaction that triggers the New Portfolio Notice (or, if later, and with respect to Transactions involving a “Conflicting Processor Agreement,” as defined below, one hundred eighty (180) days following the notice of termination or expiration of such Conflicting Processor Agreement) (the “Exclusive Period”). During the Exclusive Period, the Bank and Elavon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in

 

19



 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BANCORP

 

good faith a mutually-agreed sales price and other terms and conditions for the purchase by Elavon of such New Portfolio, evidenced by a definitive purchase agreement setting forth final terms of such purchase (a “Definitive Purchase Agreement”). During the Exclusive Period, the Bank and Elavon shall also consider, among other things, whether the Bank would be obligated to make any material payments to terminate any agreements with any existing Merchant Services processor (a “Conflicting Processor Agreement”) for such New Portfolio.

 

(b)           In the event that the New Portfolio is bound or otherwise encumbered by a Conflicting Processor Agreement, the Bank shall terminate such Conflicting Processor Agreement or, if termination is not allowed, allow such Conflicting Processor Agreement to naturally expire without renewal (including but not limited to providing notice of non-renewal), in each instance as soon as is reasonably possible so as to allow the negotiated purchase of the New Portfolio by Elavon as herein contemplated to occur. If such Conflicting Processor Agreement includes termination fees, liquidated damages, or other penalties (collectively, “Termination Fees”), Elavon shall have the option of agreeing to pay all of such Termination Fees, thereby requiring the Bank to affirmatively terminate such Conflicting Processor Agreement as soon as practicable following consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Definitive Purchase Agreement. However, if Elavon does not agree to pay all such Termination Fees, the New Portfolio may continue to receive Merchant Services from such provider under such Conflicting Processor Agreement until the earliest termination or natural expiration without renewal (including but not limited to providing notice of non-renewal) of such Conflicting Processor Agreement as herein contemplated, whereupon this Section 6.2 shall continue to be applicable to such New Portfolio.

 

(c)           If Elavon and the Bank, after good faith exclusive negotiations as described herein, within the time period described herein, and otherwise in compliance with the procedures described herein, are unable to agree upon the terms of, and enter into, a Definitive Purchase Agreement with respect to a New Portfolio, then the Bank shall have no more than one hundred eighty (180) days (the “Alternative Sale Period”) in which to sell such New Portfolio to an independent, unrelated and unaffiliated third party pursuant to a bidding and sales process, provided that such sales price shall not be less than the fair market value of such New Portfolio, as established by an independent third party appraiser recognized and skilled in valuing businesses engaged in the Merchant Services business.

 

(d)           If, after compliance with this Article VI, the Bank does not consummate the sale of the New Portfolio within the Alternative Sale Period as herein contemplated, the Bank may operate such New Portfolio within the ordinary course of business and such operation in and of itself shall not be deemed in breach of Article II hereof or Section 2.2 of the Non-Competition Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.3 of the Non-Competition Agreement shall continue to apply to the Bank. Further, to the extent the Bank later elects to sell, assign or transfer the New Portfolio, the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall once again apply to such sale.

 

20



 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BANCORP

 

6.3                                 Specified Portfolios.  Each Specified Portfolio shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4(b) hereof.

6.4                                 No Violation of the Non-Competition Agreement.

 

(a)                                  Non-Specified Portfolios.  With respect solely to any applicable New Portfolio that is not a Specified Portfolio, and for so long as the Bank complies with the provisions of this Article VI, the operation in the ordinary course of business of the Merchant Services business by the Bank relating solely to such New Portfolio shall not in and of itself be deemed in breach of Article II hereof or Section 2.2 of the Non-Competition Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Specified Portfolios.  With respect solely to a Specified Portfolio, the Bank or the Specified Third Party, as the case may be, may in its sole discretion elect to continue to operate the Merchant Services business relating solely to such Specified Portfolio in the ordinary course of business, so long as such operation is not under or in connection with the Bank’s branches, name or brand (or otherwise in violation of Section 2.3 of the Non-Competition Agreement) and does not materially interfere with the benefit of the bargain received by Elavon hereunder, and such acts shall not be deemed a breach of Article II hereof or of Section 2.2 or 2.3 of the Non-Competition Agreement; provided, however, that at such time, if ever, as the Bank or the Specified Third Party, as the case may be, elects to sell, assign or transfer, or solicit, consider, or entertain offers to sell, assign or transfer, the Specified Portfolio or the Merchant Services relating thereto, or otherwise elects to discontinue its operation of the Merchant Services business relating to such Specified Portfolio, then it shall promptly give Elavon notice of such decision, whereupon the provisions of Section 6.3 shall apply to such Specified Portfolio.
