Bank is responsible to Merchant for processing Transactions under the Operating Rules for the Card Program services to which Merchant subscribes, which may vary among Card types.

Merchant, and not Bank, is responsible for any advice from, acts of, as well as omissions, acts of fraud or acts of misconduct by Merchant’s employees, processors, consultants, advisors, contractors, Merchant Servicers, Agents, officers and directors.

SECTION 3 PROCEDURES FOR CARD TRANSACTIONS.

(a) Visa and MasterCard. If appropriately indicated herein, Merchant shall be a Limited Acceptance Merchant, which means that Merchant has elected to accept only certain Visa and MasterCard card types as indicated on the Merchant Application, or via later notification. Bank has no obligation other than those expressly provided under the Operating Rules and applicable law as they may relate to Limited Acceptance. Bank’s obligations do not include policing card types at the point of sale. Merchant will be solely responsible for the implementation of its decision for limited acceptance including but not limited to policing the card type(s) of transactions at the point of sale submitted for processing by Bank. Should Merchant submit a transaction for processing for a card type it has indicated it does not wish to accept, Bank may process that transaction and Merchant will pay the applicable fees, charges, and assessments associated with that transaction.

(b) Discover. If Merchant has chosen to accept Discover® Card Transactions in the Merchant Application, Merchant must accept Discover® Cards at all Merchant establishments, including in payment for purchases of goods and services, for charitable contributions and for Cash Over Transactions (subject to the terms of the Operating Guide), when properly presented for payment by a Cardholder. Subject to this section, a Merchant must create a Transaction Receipt for each Discover® Card Transaction and deliver at least one copy of the Transaction Receipt to the Cardholder. A Merchant may issue a Cash Over (subject to the terms of the Operating Guide) in connection with a Discover Card Transaction. The Merchant must deliver a single Authorization Request for the aggregate total of the goods/services purchase amount and the Cash Over amount. In addition, the Transaction Receipt must include both the purchase amount and the Cash Over amount.

In accepting Cards for the purchase of Merchant’s goods and services, Merchant shall comply with the requirements of this Merchant Agreement, including but not limited to the Operating Rules and the Operating Guide, as the same are revised from time to time.

3.3 Submission of Valid Transactions.

(a) Merchant will submit to Bank a Transaction only if the Transaction is made or approved by the Cardholder who is issued the Card used for the Transaction. Merchant will not submit directly or indirectly:

(a) any Transaction that Merchant knows or should have known to be fraudulent or not authorized by the Cardholder;

(b) any Transaction that results from a transaction outside of Merchant’s normal course of business, as described on the Merchant Application; or (c) any Transaction containing the account of a Card issued to Merchant or any account numbers issued to Merchant’s business owners, family members and principals for Transactions that do not represent a purchase of goods or services from Merchant or a related credit. (b) If at any time the volume of Transactions in the Card-Absent Environment substantially exceeds the projected annual volume stated on the Application, or if at any time Bank suspects fraud, money laundering or violations of the Operating Rules, Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in addition to other remedies that the Bank may have: (1) refuse to process the excessive or suspect Transactions; (2) process the Transactions and retain the funds received from processing until such time as the excess or suspect Transactions are found to be valid or invalid and processed in accordance with the Operating Rules; (3) suspend processing Card-Absent Environment Transactions and/or terminate the Agreement; or (4) amend the Agreement to protect the interests of Bank.

3.4 Payments to Merchant for Valid Transactions.

(b) Merchant Bank may deduct from any payment to Merchant the amount of any Credit Transaction Receipt processed for Merchant, any Chargeback to Merchant, any amount to be deposited in the Reserve Account and any Processing Fees and amounts sufficient to reimburse Bank for the amount of any Card Association fines or charges due from Merchant. Merchant must immediately pay Bank the amount by which a Credit Transaction Receipt processed on any day exceeds valid Transactions submitted on that day. Without limiting Bank’s remedies, Merchant Bank may obtain the amount due by deducting it from the Settlement Account, Reserve Account or other accounts of or funds due Merchant.

(c) Merchant acknowledges that all payments and credits provided to Merchant are provisional and subject to suspension, to Chargebacks and to adjustments in accordance with this Merchant Agreement and the Operating Rules and the Operating Guide.

3.5 Retrieval Requests If Merchant deposits Transactions with Bank through magnetic tape, electronic transmission, or electronic data capture terminal, upon the request of a Card Association or Bank, Merchant shall respond to all Retrieval Requests within the time frames specified in the applicable Operating Rules. If Merchant does not respond or responds late to a Retrieval Request, Merchant may be without recourse as Chargebacks for “non receipt of requested item” in most cases, cannot be reversed.

3.6 Equipment; Supplies; Displays.

(a) At Merchant’s request, Processor will supply Merchant with point-of sale equipment (“POS Equipment”) that Merchant may need to process and submit Transactions. Processor will use good faith efforts to program the POS Equipment to operate at the Merchant Outlets in compliance with the Operating Rules; however, Processor makes no representations or warranties that Processor’s programming of the POS Equipment furnished by Processor will operate in compliance with the Operating Rules. If Processor supplies Merchant with a terminal or other equipment, then Merchant must return such equipment upon termination of this Agreement.

(b) All third-party POS Equipment and services provided or procured by Processor under this Merchant Agreement are provided “AS-IS” but Processor will, at Merchant’s expense, use reasonable commercial efforts to assist Merchant in enforcing any warranty offered by the third party supplier of such POS Equipment or services.

Such additional collateral security may include, for example, (A) a letter of credit, if issued in an amount and on terms acceptable to Bank by a letter of credit issuing bank acceptable to Bank, or (B) the pledge to Bank of a certificate of deposit owned by Merchant in amount satisfactory to Bank and provided all agreements (including agreements of third parties) in form and substance satisfactory to Bank and all filings and/or other actions necessary in order to perfect in Bank a continuing first priority security interest therein on terms acceptable to Bank, are entered into, made and/or taken as the case may be. Bank may require that all or any part of the additional collateral take the form of a Reserve Account, established as hereinafter set forth in this Section 13, at any time when: (i) this Merchant Agreement, or the provision of Card Program services hereunder, shall have terminated for any reason or any party hereto shall have given notice of termination thereof, or (ii) there shall have occurred an event which entitles Bank to terminate this Merchant Agreement or the provision of Card Program services hereunder or which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time would entitle Bank to terminate this Merchant Agreement or the provision of Card Program services hereunder, and Merchant has not provided alternative additional collateral security of a kind, and in amounts, satisfactory to Bank as set forth above in this Section, or (iii) neither (i) nor (ii) above in this Section is applicable, but Bank has determined that additional collateral security is required, has requested that Merchant provide same, and Merchant has failed to provide alternative additional collateral security of a kind, and in amounts satisfactory to Bank as set forth above in this Section. Any Reserve Account that is established shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 14 and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement relating to the “Reserve Account”. Whenever Bank requires that additional collateral security take the form of a Reserve Account, the following provisions of this Section 13 shall apply:

13.1 Reserve During Term of Merchant Agreement.

(a) Merchant may be required to deposit, or Merchant Bank may deposit by deducting from any payment due to Merchant or from any funds in the Settlement Account or any other deposit account of Merchant, into an account maintained by Merchant Bank (or at another approved depository institution) (the “Reserve Account”), initially or at any time in the future as requested by Bank, sums sufficient to satisfy Merchant’s current and/or future obligations as determined by Bank in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) The Reserve Account will be separate from the Settlement Account. Merchant shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Account. The Reserve Account shall be under the sole control of Merchant Bank, and Processor shall not have access to or hold funds in the Reserve Account. Any and all earnings from deposits of the Merchant to the Reserve Account shall be the sole property of the Bank.

13.2 Reserve Account Deposits.

(a) At any time in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, Bank may (i) designate the minimum balance required to be deposited in the Reserve Account, (ii) require that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account be increased, (iii) require that the Merchant deposit, or Merchant Bank may deposit for Merchant into the Reserve Account a percentage of, or a fixed amount from each Transaction processed, or (iv) otherwise determine the amount to be deposited in the Reserve Account. Bank at its sole and absolute discretion may require that each month Merchant deposit, or Merchant Bank may deposit by deducting from any payment due to Merchant or from any funds in the Settlement Account or any other deposit account of Merchant sums into the Reserve Account no later than the twentieth (20th) day of the month. Bank shall notify the Merchant as to the amount of the funds to be deposited each month.

(b) Merchant acknowledges and agrees that the Reserve Account may contain both funds deposited by the Merchant and funds of other merchants of the Bank.

13.3 Deductions from Reserve Account. If funds are not available in the Settlement Account, Bank without prior notice to Merchant may deduct from the Reserve Account any obligation of Merchant to Bank under this Merchant Agreement, including all Processing Fees, Chargebacks, Credit Transaction Receipts, Damages, and any and all additional fees, and sums sufficient to reimburse Bank for the amount of any fines, penalty amounts and charges due the Card Associations.

13.4 Replenishment of Reserve Account Deficiencies. Whenever the balance in the Reserve Account is less than the minimum balance required, or is otherwise deficient, Merchant Bank may, without prior notice, deposit the deficiency into the Reserve Account by reducing any payment to Merchant required by this Merchant Agreement or deduct the deficiency from the Settlement Account or any other deposit account of Merchant with another depository institution (including accounts of general partners if Merchant is a partnership) and deposit it into the Reserve Account. Merchant authorizes deductions from its accounts by ACH entry, sight draft, preauthorized check, reverse wire, or otherwise as Bank deems appropriate under the circumstances. In addition, Merchant will deposit any deficiency into the Reserve Account within one (1) Business Day after receiving Bank’s oral or written request. Without limiting Bank’s remedies, Merchant’s failure to deposit any deficiency on time will permit Bank, without advance notice, to suspend or cease processing additional Transaction Receipts and Credit Transaction Receipts. Bank will give Merchant written notice of any suspension or cessation of processing.

13.5 Additions to Reserve Account. If Bank has reason to believe that Merchant may be liable to customers or to Bank for Chargebacks exceeding the balance in the Reserve Account, Merchant Bank may: (a) immediately place in the Reserve Account payments due to Merchant and/or stop processing transactions for Merchant until such time as the extent of Merchant’s obligations to Bank, or Merchant’s liability for Chargebacks, or Merchant’s liability to customers are known, and Bank no longer deems itself insecure, and/or (b) demand from Merchant an amount that in Bank’s judgment is needed to ensure payment of Merchant’s obligations and liabilities. Merchant’s failure to pay any amount will permit Merchant Bank or Processor or its designated representative to terminate this Merchant Agreement immediately without advance notice.

13.6 Reserve Account After Merchant Agreement Terminates. Merchant Bank may continue to hold or deposit funds in the Reserve Account after termination of this Merchant Agreement, regardless of whether termination is by Merchant or Bank. Upon termination of the Merchant Agreement by Merchant or Bank, Bank may retain sufficient funds to satisfy any and all Processing Fees, Chargebacks, Credit Transaction Receipts, Damages, and any and all additional fees, and sums sufficient to reimburse Bank for the amount of any fines, penalty amounts and charges due the Card Associations. If no funds have been deposited into the Reserve Account before termination, Bank, at Bank’s option, may notify Merchant to deposit funds into the Reserve Account upon termination of this Merchant Agreement. All provisions which apply to a pre-termination Reserve Account will apply after termination, including replenishment of deficiencies. The funds will be held by Bank or its designated agent for a period of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the last Transaction processed under the Merchant Agreement, plus the period of any warranty, guarantee, and/or return policy on goods and/or services sold.

Bank will return the balance in the Reserve Account to Merchant after Bank reasonably determines that the risk of Chargebacks and other Processing Fees has ended and after deducting all amounts that Merchant owes to Bank under this Merchant Agreement or any other agreement.

SECTION 14 SECURITY INTEREST.

14.1 Merchant’s Grant of Security Interest.

(a) To secure Merchant’s performance of its obligations under this Merchant Agreement, and any other agreement with Bank, Merchant grants Bank a security interest in each Transaction and its proceeds, the Settlement Account, the Reserve Account and any other deposit account of Merchant with a financial institution, whether now existing or established in the future, and in the proceeds of all those accounts, any funds due Merchant from Bank and any of Merchant’s property held by Bank. Bank may enforce these security interests without notice or demand. The security interests granted under this Merchant Agreement will continue after this Merchant Agreement terminates, until Merchant satisfies all its obligations to Bank.

(b) Furthermore, and with respect to any security interests granted herein, Bank will have all rights afforded under the Uniform Commercial Code, as the same may, from time to time, be in effect in the State of Colorado; provided, however, in the event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the attachment, perfection or priority of the security interests granted herein is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado, then Bank will have all rights afforded under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions relating to such attachment, perfection or priority of the security interests, as well as any other applicable law.

14.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Upon request of Bank, Merchant will execute one or more financing statements or other documents to evidence the security interests granted to Bank under this Section 14. Merchant shall cooperate with Bank in obtaining any control agreement or similar agreement with a depository bank necessary to perfect the security interests granted herein. In addition, Merchant agrees that its signature on the Merchant Application will be considered Merchant’s signature agreeing to any control agreement as defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code among Merchant, Bank and any other financial institution under which Bank, Merchant and any other financial institution agree to the disposition of funds in the Settlement Account, the Reserve Account or any other deposit account without further consent by Merchant.

SECTION 15

CUSTOMER CLAIMS. To the extent that Bank has paid or may pay a Chargeback or Credit Transaction Receipt, Merchant will be obligated to reimburse Bank for any sums Bank pays. If Merchant does not reimburse Bank, Bank will have all of the rights and remedies of Cardholders, including the Cardholders’ rights under 11 U.S.C. §507(a)(6). Bank may assert any claim on behalf of a Cardholder individually or on behalf of all Cardholders as a class.

SECTION 16 PROCESSING FEES.

16.1 Fee Schedule. Merchant will pay Processing Fees in the amount specified in the Fee Schedule attached to the Merchant Application or as otherwise provided for in this Merchant Agreement or an Addendum thereto. Bank may increase the Processing Fees, including, without limitation, introducing new products or services, by giving Merchant thirty (30) days advance written notice effective for Transactions submitted on and after the effective date of the change.

16.2 Card Association Actions. Bank will not be required to provide the Merchant with thirty (30) days notice of an increase in Processing Fees in the event that any Card Association, or any other entity having such authority increases the Processing Fees and the effective date for implementation of the increase in the Processing Fees is less than thirty (30) days. In such cases, the Bank shall make reasonable efforts including, but not limited to, written correspondence, notification on statements, website notification, email, fax and direct contact via the telephone or otherwise, to provide reasonable notification to Merchant. However, failure to provide advance notice of the increase in Processing Fees will not affect Merchant’s obligation to pay the increased Processing Fees. The increase(s) in Processing Fees shall be effective on the date specified by Bank.

16.3 Payment. Processing Fees and other service charges owed by Merchant to Bank may be deducted by Merchant Bank from amounts due Merchant, or from the Settlement Account or from the Reserve Account. Merchant will pay the amounts due by the next Business Day if sufficient funds are not available in the Settlement Account.

SECTION 17 INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; WARRANTY.

17.1 Indemnification. Merchant agrees to indemnify Bank, including their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents against and to hold them harmless from any and all claims and demands of any party arising from or based upon any act or omission of Merchant, Merchant’s employees, Merchant’s designated representatives or agents, Merchant Servicers or Merchant’s Agent(s) in connection with or arising out of this Merchant Agreement, the duties to be performed by Merchant pursuant to this Merchant Agreement, any Transactions which Merchant submits to Bank, or Merchant’s violation of the Operating Rules or any Requirements of Law. In the event that Bank shall be made a party to any litigation, proceeding, arbitration, bankruptcy proceeding, or other legal process (collectively “Actions”) commenced by any third party, Merchant shall protect and hold Bank harmless from and with respect to the Actions and shall pay all costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees incurred or paid in connection with the Action, together with any judgments rendered. Merchant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bank for any hacking, infiltration, or compromise of Merchant’s systems or the systems of Merchant, Merchant Servicers or Merchant’s Agent(s), designated representatives, or other agents.

17.2 Limitation of Liability. Bank will not accept responsibility for errors, acts, or failure to act by others, including but not limited to, Merchant Servicers, Agents, third party suppliers of software, equipment or services; or, banks, communication common carriers, data processors or clearinghouses through which transactions may be passed, originated and/or authorized. Bank will not be responsible for any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, war, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of governments, acts of terrorism, labor disputes, failures in communication networks, legal constraints or other events beyond the control of Bank. Bank undertakes no duties to Merchant other than the duties expressly provided for in this Merchant Agreement, and any and all other or additional duties that may be imposed upon Bank in law or equity are hereby irrevocably waived and released to the maximum extent permitted by law. In any event, Bank’s cumulative liability to Merchant, whether arising in contract, tort (including, without limitation, negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, shall not exceed the lesser of $10,000 or, an amount equal to the aggregate of monthly net Processing Fees paid by Merchant in the three (3) month period prior to the month that the incident giving rise to liability occurred. IN NO EVENT SHALL BANK BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR FOR ANY INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS OR PROFITS, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR BANK WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY LIMITED REMEDY HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. BANK SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BANK DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

Delivery by facsimile transmission or electronic mail will be considered effective when the sender receives electronic confirmation of the transmission.

SECTION 19 ATTORNEY FEES; ARBITRATION.

Merchant and/or Guarantor will be liable for and will indemnify and reimburse Bank for all attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses paid or incurred by Bank in the enforcement of this Merchant Agreement or in matters relating to this Merchant Agreement, or arising from any breach by Merchant of this Merchant Agreement, or any other wrongdoing by Merchant or Guarantor. In the event Bank must collect any amounts due from Merchant to Bank, Merchant will reimburse Bank for all fees and expenses incurred in such collection, plus reasonable administrative fees.

19.2 Arbitration. Merchant, Bank and any Guarantor at Bank’s election will settle any dispute or controversy concerning or relating to this Merchant Agreement through binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, held at Denver or Boulder, Colorado in accordance with the provisions of the Colorado Uniform Arbitration Act or any successor statute. If Merchant and/or any Guarantor does not unconditionally proceed with arbitration in accordance with this Section 20.02 within ten (10) days after Bank sends a written demand for arbitration, Bank shall be entitled (but not obligated) to initiate litigation concerning the dispute or controversy.

SECTION 20

21.2 Merchant and Guarantor(s) further agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of any Merchant Card Processing Agreement between Bank and any Affiliated-merchant, regardless of whether such agreement currently exists or is executed, amended or supplement at some future date. Merchant and Guarantor(s) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the full payment and performance of each and all duties and obligations owed to Bank by Merchant Affiliate pursuant to any Merchant Card Processing Agreement. The provisions of Section 22.3 apply to the guarantee by Merchant and Guarantor(s) of the Merchant Affiliate’s obligations to Bank under any Merchant Card Processing Agreement.

21.3 Guarantor(s) understands that Bank, without notice to Guarantor(s), may from time to time renew or extend the Merchant Agreement, modify rates, limits, charges and fees, or modify the amount or type of services provided to Merchant all of which may increase the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.
