16
Applicable Law to the extent required by this Agreement or (iv) GDC’s or Bank’s failure to instruct Retailer of its compliance obligations relating to Applicable Law in accordance with Section 8.4(d).
6.3. Indemnified Party will provide prompt notice to Indemnifying Party upon receipt of any Indemnified Claim; provided, however, Indemnified Party’s failure to provide such notice or delay in providing such notice will not relieve Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 6 unless such failure or delay materially prejudiced Indemnified Party’s defense of the Indemnified Claim.
6.4. Subject to Sections 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole and absolute right to control and assume the defense of any such Indemnified Party at its expense and in the name of the Indemnified Party and to select the counsel for the defense of such Indemnified Claim. The Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in such defense and in any settlement discussions directly or through counsel of its choice on a monitoring, non-controlling basis. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith in connection with the defense, negotiation, or settlement of any Indemnified Claim.
6.5. Notwithstanding Section 6.4, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense of any such Indemnified Claim if: (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Indemnified Claim or acknowledge in writing that it will assume the defense of such Indemnified Claim within fifteen Business Days of receipt of notice of the Indemnified Claim; (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines (at any time while the Indemnified Claim is pending) based upon advice of counsel that there are issues that could raise possible conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or that the Indemnified Party has claims or defenses that are separate from or in addition to the claims or defenses of the Indemnifying Party; (iii) such Indemnified Claim seeks an injunction, cease and desist order, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the ongoing business of the Indemnified Party, other than the Program; or (iv) it contests (in whole or in part), its indemnification obligations (but only as to the obligations specific to the Indemnifying Party in the event a third party gives rise to indemnification obligations of more than one party). In each such case described in clauses (i) through (iv) above, the Indemnified Party will have the right to control the defense of the Indemnified Claim and retain its own counsel, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable cost of such defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of one law firm, and shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim, on a non-controlling basis, at its expense with counsel of its own choosing.

If the Indemnified Party reasonably objects to the execution of the litigation strategy by counsel selected by Indemnifying Party in the defense of the Indemnified Claim, Indemnified Party may request in writing that Indemnifying Party replace such counsel at Indemnifying Party’s expense. Any such notice from Indemnified Party will provide in reasonable detail the reasons for Indemnified Party’s request. If after conferring in good faith the Parties are unable to agree upon the need for replacement of counsel, Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the control of the defense and retain its own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall pay the reasonable cost of such defense.
6.7.

6.8. Subrogation. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to any third party claims or rights of the Indemnified Party as against any other Persons (except Persons that are directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives of Indemnified Party or its Affiliates or that have a contractual right of indemnity or contribution against Indemnified Party with respect to the Indemnified Claim) with respect to any amount paid to the Indemnifying
17
Party under this Section 6. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in the assertion by the Indemnifying Party of any such claim against such other persons.

An application that is not denied or approved within that period shall be deemed approved as of the first business day after the expiration of that period.
C. The superintendent shall deny the application to acquire control of a licensee if he finds that the acquisition of control is contrary to law or determines that disapproval is reasonably necessary to protect the interest of the public. In making that determination, the superintendent shall consider both of the following:
1. Whether the financial condition of the person that seeks to control the licensee might jeopardize the financial condition of the licensee or prejudice the interests of the public in the conduct of the business regulated under this chapter.
2.

This Data Sharing, POCS Data and License Addendum (“Data Sharing Addendum”) is made subject to and a part of the Amended and Restated Walmart MoneyCard Program Agreement (“Agreement”) entered into between and among Retailer, GDC and Bank (as defined in the Agreement).

“De-Identified Data” means Customer Data that has been de-identified or aggregated adequately to ensure that no individual can reasonably be identified from the data. To the extent any Applicable Law mandates a certain de-identification standard that would apply to the information in question, the information will not be considered De-Identified Data unless that standard has been applied.
“POCS System” means Retailer’s Point of Contact Service Data system, an integrated Retailer customer interface that, among other things, presents financial services options for a customer based on customer specific personal and transaction information.
“GDC Data” means Customer Data and Servicing Data. The term “GDC Data” shall not include De-Identified Data.
“Privacy Policy” means the privacy policies, terms and notices of the Parties posted on their respective websites or applicable to their respective collection and use of personally identifiable information.
“Retailer Data” means (i) any personally identifiable information provided by an individual to Retailer in connection with the Program, and (ii) other data or information which is not GDC Data which is collected by or on behalf of Retailer without a breach of the Agreement or any obligation of confidentiality to GDC.
2. Limited License to Retailer; Restrictions on Use; Sharing of GDC Data.
A. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Data Sharing Addendum and the Agreement, and subject to Applicable Law and the Privacy Policies of GDC, GDC and Bank hereby grant to Retailer a royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license to use, store, process, manipulate (including to de-identify Customer Data or other personally identifiable information), reproduce and/or combine the GDC Data for the purposes identified in this Section 2 of this Data Sharing Addendum. Retailer may permit its contractors or subcontractors to exercise the rights granted in this Section 2, provided that such contractors or subcontractors (i) may only exercise such rights for the benefit of and in the course of providing services to Retailer and (ii) are subject to confidentiality requirements equivalent to those imposed on Retailer.
B. Retailer (and any of its contractors or subcontractors who are given access to GDC Data pursuant to Section 2) may use the GDC Data for the following purposes:

D. Without GDC’s consent, Retailer will not disclose, sell, resell, license, sublicense or distribute the GDC Data in any form or in combination with any other third party data to third parties other than to Retailer’s contractors or subcontractors solely for use in connection with the purposes of Retailer described in Section 2.B of this Data Sharing Addendum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Retailer may disclose GDC Data if such disclosure is required by court order or legal process, provided Retailer provides GDC with reasonable advance notice of the request, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and cooperates with GDC in obtaining a limiting order or other confidential treatment of GDC Data.
E. GDC, Bank and Retailer acknowledge and agree that consumers may be customers of GDC or Bank and of Retailer, and that the same or similar information may be included in GDC Data and Retailer Data. To the extent that the same information is included in both GDC Data and Retailer Data, (i) GDC and Bank shall retain their ownership and use rights in GDC Data; (ii) Retailer shall retain its ownership and use rights in Retailer Data; and (iii) the restrictions on Retailer’s use of GDC Data included in Paragraphs B, C (as it relates to the Privacy Policy of GDC or Bank), D, and K of this Section 2 of this Addendum will not apply to GDC Data that also constitutes Retailer Data. Each Party (x) is responsible for any information it collects from consumers or receives pursuant to this Data Sharing Addendum, and (y) may at any time modify the types of information it collects and its Privacy Policy, subject to this Addendum, provided, however, that GDC and Bank must promptly provide Retailer with updates to their respective Privacy Policies.
F. GDC will deliver the GDC Data to Retailer or Retailer’s designee via FTP location using a SFTP methodology or other secure transmission process agreed upon by the Parties in writing and that complies with the Retailer Information Security Addendum, Schedule 7.6 of the Agreement. Retailer will provide appropriate security credentials for the SFTP or other secure transmission process.
G. GDC will transmit a batch file of GDC Data to Retailer or its designee on a [*] basis.
H. Neither GDC nor Retailer shall have any obligation to provide the other with any information or data purchased or otherwise acquired by such Party from a third party.
I. GDC and Bank will within a reasonable period of time revise their Privacy Policy to the extent necessary for GDC and Bank to share GDC Data with Retailer in the manner set forth in this Data Sharing Addendum and subject to Applicable Law, will provide consumers with the right to opt out of sharing Customer Data with third parties, including Retailer. GDC and Bank shall not, nor shall they have any obligation to, provide to Retailer any Customer Data that pertains to a consumer who has opted out of such sharing. GDC and Bank shall, at all times during the Term, make their Privacy Policy, including the applicable opt-out mechanism, available to consumers.
K. Subject to all Applicable Law, upon expiration of the Term or termination of the Agreement, Retailer may, subject to the terms of this Data Sharing Addendum and the Agreement, (i) retain a copy of applicable GDC Data for the purposes of compliance with Applicable Law and internal compliance policies,
*Confidential Treatment Requested.
and (ii) continue to use any information or data resulting from Retailer’s or its contractors’ analysis or manipulation of GDC Data, whether alone or in conjunction with other data.
3. Compliance Data. Nothing in this Data Sharing Addendum or the Agreement is intended to limit either Party’s ability to collect, use or disclose data in order to conduct or effectuate transactions, or pursue compliance, risk management, and fraud detection, monitoring and prevention to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Data Sharing Addendum or the Agreement, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith, to identify, investigate, and prosecute or otherwise act to mitigate, suspected theft, fraud and wrongdoing associated with the Program. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties will, following a request from the other Party and subject to Applicable Law and Privacy Policies, furnish Compliance Data regarding consumers and suspected wrongdoing for use solely in connection with any bona fide law enforcement or governmental investigations or initiatives.
4. Warranty. GDC and Bank each warrant and represent that any GDC Data provided to Retailer shall, upon delivery, be free of any encumbrance or limitation that would prevent or restrict Retailer from making use of GDC Data for any of the permitted purposes identified in Section 2.B of this Data Sharing Addendum, subject to and accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Applicable Law. To the extent any Applicable Law requires consumers’ prior written authorization in order to disclose Customer Data to Retailer for use pursuant to this Data Sharing Addendum, GDC and Bank will not disclose the applicable Customer Data to Retailer without first obtaining the necessary written authorization from the consumer.
