About this file

This document is Schedule H (Government Terms) to a Master Service Agreement between Elavon and the State of Wisconsin, dated July 14, 2020. The schedule establishes modified contract terms specifically applicable when the contracting entity qualifies as a government entity or government institution under applicable local, state, or federal law. The modifications override certain standard commercial contract provisions to accommodate government-specific requirements and legal constraints.

The contract covers payment processing services provided by Elavon, with key government-specific modifications including elimination of early termination fees, addition of a termination right for insufficient legislative appropriation with 60 days' notice, revised liability and indemnification provisions that limit each party's responsibilities to specific circumstances such as breach, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, and enhanced intellectual property protections. The agreement includes modified financial reporting requirements allowing government entities to provide governmental authority audits instead of independent CPA audits, with financial statements due within 120 days of fiscal year-end or when available for government entities. The schedule also removes exclusivity provisions and establishes comprehensive procedures for handling intellectual property infringement claims, with Elavon responsible for defending against patent, copyright, or trademark violations related to their services.

“(f) Company may terminate the Agreement on 60 days’ prior written notice to Elavon if sufficient legislative appropriation is not available.”

1.2. Section 4.4, Early Termination Fee, is deleted and replaced with “Intentionally Omitted.”

1.3. Section 13.1 is revised as follows:

“13.1 Elavon Responsibilities. In addition to Elavon’s obligations in Section 13.5, Elavon will be responsible for and will at its own expense defend itself against any suits, claims, losses, demands or damages arising out of (a) Elavon’s breach of the Agreement; (b) Elavon’s or its third party contractors’ gross negligence or willful misconduct; (c) Elavon’s or its third party contractors’ violation of applicable Laws or Payment Network Regulations; (d) Elavon’s alleged infringement or other violation of a U.S. or Canada patent, copyright or trademark of a third party by the Services in the form delivered or Company’s use thereof; or (e) any personal injury or real or tangible personal property damage to the extent caused by Elavon or its third party contractors.”

1.4. Section 13.2 is revised as follows:

“13.2 Company Responsibilities. As between Company and Elavon, Company will be responsible for, and at its own expense, defend itself against any suits, claims, losses, demands or damages arising out of (a) any sale of goods or services resulting in a Transaction processed under the

1.5. Sections 13.3 is deleted.

1.6. Section 13.4 is revised as follows:

13.4. Procedure.

(a) If an Infringement Claim (as defined in Section 13.5) is subject to Elavon’s obligations in

Section 13.5 of the Agreement, Company will:

(i) Provide Elavon prompt notice of the Infringement Claim (provided that any delay in notification will not relieve Elavon of its obligations under Section 13.5 except to the extent that the delay materially impairs its ability to fully defend the Infringement

Claim);

(ii) Subject to Section 13.4(b), give Elavon the right to exercise exclusive control over the preparation and defense of the Infringement Claim, including appeals, negotiations and any settlement or compromise thereof, provided that Elavon will notify Company in writing of its election regarding the assumption of control of the preparation and defense of such Infringement Claim within 15 days following receipt of Company’s written notice of such Infringement Claim, but, in any event, no later than 10 days before the date on which any written response to a complaint, summons, or other legal filing is due; and

(iii) Provide such assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the

Infringement Claim as Elavon may reasonably request, at Elavon’s expense. Elavon will not enter into any settlement that imposes any liability or obligation on

Company, or contains any admission or acknowledgement of wrongdoing (whether in tort or otherwise), without Company’s prior written consent.

(b) Company may join in the defense, with its own counsel, at its own expense.

1.7. Section 13.5 is revised as follows:

“13.5. Infringement Claims.

(a) Elavon will defend Company and its employees, officers, and agents in connection with claims, actions, demands or proceedings (made or threatened) brought by a third party, and will pay the final award of damages assessed against Company, its employees, officers or agents in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, including awarded costs, or any amount in settlement or compromise authorized by Elavon in writing, arising out of Elavon’s alleged infringement or other violation of a U.S. or Canada patent, copyright or trademark of a third party by the Services (but not Equipment) in the form delivered or Company’s use thereof (an

“Infringement Claim”).

(b) If any part of the Services or the use of the Services becomes, or in Elavon’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim, and as a result of such Infringement Claim

Company’s use of the Services may be enjoined or interfered with, then Elavon will, at its option and expense, either, and in addition to defending Company and paying the final amount of damages as provided for in this section, (i) obtain a license for Company to continue using the alleged infringing component(s) of the Services; (ii) modify the alleged infringing component(s) of the Services to avoid the infringement in a manner that still permits the Services to perform in all material respects in accordance with the Agreement; or (iii) replace the alleged infringing component(s) of the Services with compatible, functionally equivalent, and non-infringing component(s). Elavon will use commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the remedies identified in this section in a manner that minimizes the disruption to Company’s business operations. If Elavon is not able to accomplish the above remedies within a commercially reasonable time frame and on commercially reasonable terms, Elavon may terminate the

Agreement upon written notice to Company. Upon such termination, Elavon will promptly refund any fees paid for Services not performed as of the date of termination.

(c) Elavon will have no liability for any Infringement Claim to the extent caused by (i) access to or use of the Services other than as specified under the Agreement and the related

Documentation, (ii) combination or use of the Services with non-Elavon products or services

(whether or not provided to Company by Elavon), (iii) any hardware, devices, software, services or other resources not provided by Elavon, (iv) failure or refusal by Company to install, implement or use any Update or correction provided by Elavon, (v) modification or alteration of the Services by anyone other than Elavon without Elavon’s prior written consent, (vi) Company’s goods or services, or (vii) the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of the

Agreement by, Company.

(d) THIS SECTION 13.5 SETS FORTH THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF COMPANY

AND THE SOLE AND COMPLETE LIABILITY OF ELAVON WITH RESPECT TO ANY

INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.”

1.8. Intentionally Omitted.

1.9. Section 18.3, Exclusivity, is deleted and replaced with “Intentionally Omitted.”

1.10. Section 1.8(b) of Schedule D, Financial Information, is revised as follows:

“1.8(b) Financial Information. At Elavon’s request, Company will provide Elavon audited financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant selected by Company, or if Company is audited by a governmental authority, then Company will provide financial statements from such governmental authority. Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (or in the case of a government entity, when available), Company will furnish Elavon, as requested, a financial statement of profit and loss for the fiscal year and a balance sheet as of the end of the fiscal year, each audited as provided above. Company will also provide Elavon such interim financial statements and other information as Elavon may reasonably request from time to time with 30 days advance notice.”
