WHEREAS, all existing Services Addenda executed under the 2021 Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be incorporated by reference into this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Services; Duty of Care. A Party providing services hereunder (the “Servicing Party”) shall perform and deliver services for or on behalf of another Party hereto (the “Receiving Party”) as more fully described under a duly executed services addendum between the Servicing Party and the Receiving Party (each a “Services Addendum” and collectively the “Services Addenda”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the services to be provided under any and all Services Addenda executed hereunder are hereinafter referred to individually and collectively as the “Services”). The Servicing Party and Receiving Party shall review the Services Addendum at least annually for accuracy and completeness and shall work together to amend any such Services Addendum, as appropriate.
The Servicing Party shall perform the Services in accordance with applicable laws and regulations utilizing at least such levels of diligence, care, completeness and timeliness customarily followed by large financial institutions and shall comply with all of DFS’ security, supervision and other procedures and policies in connection with its provision of Services. The Servicing Party may satisfy its obligations to perform hereunder either through its own employees, agents, or representatives, and/or through independent contractors used to provide the Services as if provided directly by the Servicing Party. The Servicing Party shall be responsible for the actions of its agents, employees, representatives, or independent contractors providing the Services and shall require, by contract, each of its independent contractors to, when providing Services, comply with (i) the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) all laws and regulations applicable to it, the Services it provides, the Servicing Party and Receiving Party.
The Services Addenda are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement conflict with any of the terms or conditions of any Services Addendum, the terms or conditions of such Services Addendum will control solely with respect to the Services covered under such Services Addendum.
Appendix 1 - Data Privacy and Information Security is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and into all Services Addenda outstanding hereunder from time to time.
2. Fees.
(a) Servicing Fees. The Receiving Party shall pay service fees to the Servicing Party as more fully described in the applicable Services Addendum (“Servicing Fees”). Servicing Fees payable hereunder shall be paid monthly in arrears. Each Receiving Party reserves the right to net any Servicing Fees due to a Servicing Party against any Servicing Fees owed by the Receiving Party to such Servicing Party under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties.
(b) Calculations. Servicing Fees shall be determined for each support function providing services to the Receiving Party largely consistent with an internal business profitability process for allocating costs across business lines. The cost allocation method will be decided in consultation with management of the support function providing services and will utilize the cost allocation method(s) most appropriate for allocating costs of the support functions to each business line of the Receiving Party. Cost allocation rates may be based on actual or planned costs. When applicable, the cost allocation methodology shall be consistent with the requirements of the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W (12 CFR 223 et. seq.).
(c) Third Party Fees. If a Party (“Payor Party”) pays a third party for goods or services provided to another Party (“Reimbursing Party”) at the request or consent of the Reimbursing Party, the Payor Party shall be reimbursed for such payment on a monthly basis. Before making any payment, the Reimbursing Party may request reasonable documentation in support of the amount to be reimbursed.
3. Term; Insolvency. This Agreement shall have a term of twelve months from the date hereof and shall automatically renew on an annual basis for subsequent twelve-month periods unless otherwise agreed to by each of the Parties hereto no less than thirty days prior to the expiration of any such twelve-month period. The term of each Services Addendum shall be the same as the term of this Agreement unless otherwise specified in the Services Addendum; provided that a Services Addendum may be terminated by either Party thereto upon thirty days’ notice to the other Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) in the event that a Servicing Party shall have provided a Receiving Party with a 30 day termination notice pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Servicing Party shall be required to continue providing the applicable Services to the Receiving Party until such time as the provision of such Services shall have been transferred to the Receiving Party or a third party; (ii) in the event that the Bank or any Bank subsidiary party to any Services Addendum becomes the subject of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, the applicable Servicing Party shall be required to continue providing the related Services to the Bank or such Bank subsidiary until such time as the related Services shall have been successfully transitioned to the Bank, such Bank subsidiary or a third-party servicer, and the applicable Servicing Party shall take all steps reasonably necessary to assist in the transition of such Services; and (iii) in the event that a non-Bank Servicing Party becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, such non-Bank Servicing Party shall be required to continue providing Services under any Servicing Addenda under which the Receiving Party is the Bank or a Bank subsidiary until such time as the related Services shall have been transitioned to the Receiving Party or a third-party servicer, and such non-Bank Servicing Party shall take all steps reasonably necessary to assist in the transition of the such Services.

4. Shared Employees.
a. The duties and responsibilities of each Shared Employee at the Bank (“Bank Responsibilities”) are set forth in the Shared Employee Addendum. While performing Bank Responsibilities, the Shared Employee shall be deemed to be employed exclusively by the Bank and the Bank alone shall be responsible for the supervision and direction of the Shared Employee during such periods. While performing duties and responsibilities for an Affiliate, the Shared Employee shall be deemed to be employed exclusively by the Affiliate, and the Affiliate alone shall be responsible for the supervision and direction of the Shared Employee during such periods.

d. Subject to this Section 4, allocation of time and responsibilities of a Shared Employee between the Bank and the related non-subsidiary Affiliate shall be agreed by the Bank and such Affiliate from time to time. In the event that there is a conflict between priorities of the Bank and the related Affiliate, a Shared Employee’s performance of Bank Responsibilities shall take priority over performance of Services for such Affiliate to the extent failure by the Shared Employee to perform Bank Responsibilities could adversely affect the safe and sound operation of the Bank or compliance with banking laws or regulations, as determined by the Bank acting reasonably and in good faith.
e. The relationship between the Bank and the related Affiliate pursuant to this Section 4 is solely that of independent parties contracting to allocate the time and expenses of a Shared Employee.

Except as may be provided in Section 7 below, the occurrence of a business interruption event shall not relieve a Servicing Party of its obligation to perform the Services in accordance with the terms hereof.

Upon occurrence of any force majeure event, the Servicing Party shall render the Services in accordance with the emergency service levels and other conditions as detailed in its Disaster Recovery Plan. Each Receiving Party shall also make a good faith effort to mitigate the effects of any occurrence beyond its control that results in any loss, injury, damages, delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

| 2. | GENERAL. |
| a. | To the extent a Party (“Processor-Party”) Processes Personal Data on behalf of another Party (“Controller-Party”), such Processor-Party shall do so solely for the purposes of performing the Services under the Agreement and pursuant to the Controller-Party’s instructions, which are contained in the Agreement, this Appendix I and Schedule 1. Pursuant to this Agreement, Controller-Party will not disclose Personal Data to Processor-Party for any other purpose, and Processor-Party will not Process Personal Data for any other purpose, unless required by applicable law. Processor-Party will notify Controller-Party if it believes that it cannot follow Controller-Party’s instructions or fulfil its obligations under applicable Data Protection Legislation or this Agreement. |
| b. | If applicable law requires Processor-Party (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Sub-Processor) to conduct Processing inconsistent with any of Controller-Party ’s instructions, or if Processor-Party believes that any instruction from Controller-Party is in violation of, or would result in a violation of applicable law, Processor-Party shall promptly notify Controller-Party thereof prior to commencing the Processing. |
| c. | Any Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement shall be performed only in accordance with applicable Data Protection Legislation and, to the extent applicable, the SCCs. |
| d. | Processor-Party will not solicit Data Subjects for their Personal Data except as directed by Controller-Party and will not collect and/or Process Personal Data obtained from illegal sources. |
| e. | In addition to the processing activities set forth in Schedule 1.1, Processor-Party may, and Controller-Party instructs Processor-Party to, Process Personal Data for the following business purposes that are necessary to support the Services: detect data security incidents; protect against fraudulent or illegal activity; effectuate repairs; and maintain or improve the quality of the Services that Processor-Party provides to Controller-Party. |
| f. | To the extent permissible under Data Protection Legislation, Processing any Personal Data outside the scope of the Agreement will require an amendment of this Agreement made in writing and executed by both parties. |
| g. | Processor-Party shall keep all Personal Data confidential and impose binding confidentiality and information security obligations on any personnel, Contractor, Sub-Processor, or other Third Party that Process or otherwise have access to Personal Data; such obligations will meet or exceed the requirements set forth in Data Protection Legislation and this Agreement, and will survive the termination of the employment relationship. |
| h. | Processor-Party will not obtain any rights or title to any Personal Data by virtue of providing the Services and may not determine the purposes for which Personal Data it receives under the Agreement may be Processed or otherwise used. |
| i. | At any time upon Controller-Party’s request, Processor-Party shall make available a list of all Sub-Processors that Process or may Process Personal Data in connection with the Services. This list will also specify all geographic locations where Processing by such enumerated Sub-Processors may take place. Processor-Party shall inform Controller-Party of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of Sub-Processors. Controller-Party may object to such change(s) if Controller-Party believes the new Sub-Processor represents an unacceptable risk to the protection of Personal Data. If, in Controller-Party’s sole and reasonable discretion which will be binding on Processor-Party, Processor-Party fails to adequately and promptly address Controller-Party’s objection, Processor-Party’s failure will constitute a material breach under the Agreement, and Controller-Party may take any action consistent with the Agreement’s provisions on material breach. Irrespective of Controller-Party’s objection to (or lack of objection to) Sub-Processors engaged by Processor-Party, Processor-Party agrees it is liable to Controller-Party for the acts and omissions of its Sub-Processors to the same extent that Processor-Party would be liable if performing the services and/or Processing of each Sub-Processor directly. |
| j. | Processor-Party shall comply with all applicable sections of Data Protection Legislation. |
| k. | In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Appendix I and the provisions set forth elsewhere in the Agreement, the provisions of this Appendix shall prevail.

| a. | Personal Data Transfers Subject to the EU GDPR. With respect to Personal Data transfers to Parties in a non-Adequate Jurisdiction that is subject to the EU GDPR, the related exporting Party and the importing Party to the transfer hereby agree to execute the EU Standard Contractual Clauses based on the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 as of 4 June 2021 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, (“EU GDPR SCCs”).

| B. | References to “EU”, “Union”, “Member State” shall not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude data subjects in Switzerland from the possibility of suing for their rights in their place of habitual residence (Switzerland); |
| C. | References to “Member State law” shall be interpreted as references to Switzerland and Swiss law, as the case may be; and references to the “competent supervisory authority” and “competent courts” shall be interpreted as references to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner and competent courts in Switzerland. |
| D. | In addition to Personal Data, the SCCs shall be interpreted to also protect the data of legal entities until the entry into force of the Revised FADP. |
| j. | If the SCCs, implemented as described above, cannot be used to lawfully transfer such Personal Data in compliance with the Swiss Data Protection Laws, the Swiss Transborder Data Flow Agreement (for outsourcing of data processing), as may be updated from time to time, shall instead be incorporated by reference and form an integral part of this Agreement and shall apply to such transfers. |
| 5. | INFORMATION SECURITY AND SECURITY INCIDENTS. |
| a. | Each Party represents and warrants that it has implemented and will maintain technical and organizational measures designed to secure Personal Data and to prevent accidental, unauthorized or unlawful access, destruction, disclosure, alteration or loss of the Personal Data, and further represents and warrants that such measures are and will remain appropriate in light of the risks presented by the Processing and the nature of the Personal Data to be protected. |
| b. | Each Party shall also comply with any specific measures required by Data Protection Legislation and guidance from competent administrative, regulatory, or supervisory bodies. These measures will include, but are not limited to, (i) the pseudonymization and encryption of Personal Data, as appropriate; (ii) the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services; (iii) the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and (iv) a process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational security measures.

As an alternative, Processor-Parties may provide a current information security certification that is generally recognized within such Processor-Party’s industry as providing reasonable assurance of a high standard of security for Personal Data and is issued only after a third-party organisation has conducted a risk assessment similar to that required by this Section. |
| d. | Processor-Party shall promptly, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Data Protection Legislation, notify Controller-Party of any Security Incident. Processor-Party shall fully cooperate with and provide any additional information requested by Controller-Party to investigate the Security Incident.

| d. | Where a Controller-Party determines it is obligated under applicable Data Protection Legislation or Controller-Party’s policy to conduct privacy and/or security assessments, Processor-Party shall fully cooperate with and assist such Controller-Party in fulfilling its obligations. Additionally, if Controller-Party determines that applicable Data Protection Legislation or Controller-Party’s policy requires Controller-Party to consult with or seek guidance from a Supervisory Authority or other regulatory body prior to commencing or in connection with any particular Processing, Processor-Party shall fully cooperate with and assist Controller-Party in fulfilling its obligations. |
| e. | At the request of a Controller-Party, Processor-Party agree to provide Controller-Party with a record of Processing activities performed on Controller-Party’s behalf in the form and containing such information as requested by Controller-Party. |
| 7. | RETURN/DELETION OF PERSONAL DATA. Upon termination of the Agreement, any Processor-Party, at the option of its counterpart Party in respect of any Processing, will (i) return all Personal Data Processed in connection with the Services to the appropriate Party in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and will irretrievably delete existing copies and backups, or (ii) destroy and irretrievably delete all Personal Data Processed in connection with the Services, including materials or media containing such Personal Data, and including all copies and backups. Each Processor-Party agrees to certify deletion meeting the requirements of this Section upon any related Party’s request. |
| 8. | AUDIT. |
| a. | Upon Controller-Party’s written request, Processor-Party shall make available to Controller-Party documentation sufficient to demonstrate that Processor-Party’s Processing of Personal Data complies with applicable Data Protection Legislation. |
| b. | If, in Controller-Party’s reasonable discretion, the documentation provided by Processor-Party under Section 8.a above fails to demonstrate Processor-Party’s compliance with any provision or aspect Data Protection Legislation, Controller-Party may perform an audit of Processor-Party that includes on-site inspection, for which Controller-Party agrees to provide thirty (30) days’ notice. Processor-Party agrees to permit and reasonably contribute to such audit, and to ensure that its Sub-Processors permit and contribute to the audit as Controller-Party reasonably deems necessary. |
| c. | If the completed audit identifies gaps as it relates to industry standard requirements or otherwise identifies additional risk, Controller-Party may take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate any unauthorized use of Personal Data, including the performance of a follow-up audit as defined above. |
