Common use of Initial Build Clause in Contracts

Initial Build. First Data shall build in the First Data System a separate processing cycle for its processing of the Designated Accounts (a “RCSI Cycle”) if requested by RCSI. That activity will include creating the environment, including hardware, software and operating procedures, and populating the RCSI Cycle with the RCSI-specific data required for such purpose. As part of this activity First Data shall provide deliverables to RCSI which include the following on the schedule agreed by the Parties: (A) analysis and specification of necessary hardware, system software and network resource configurations; (B) provision of baseline Application programs, JCL procedures, control cards and schedule; (C) data population through initial cycling of the batch and on-line environments; and (D) validation through mock testing of input, output and processing functions including reports, statements, screens transactions and interfaces. RCSI will participate in the planning and analysis phases of the building of the RCSI Cycle to review the environment created by First Data and inform First Data as to whether in RCSI’s opinion, given its limited understanding of the First Data System, the RCSI Cycle is configured to meet RCSI’s requirements. RCSI shall provide such assistance to First Data as is proposed by First Data and approved by RCSI.
