VI.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

The Parties acknowledge that each may have access to, or be provided with, information or documentation, which each Party regards as confidential or proprietary. The receiving parties are referred to as ‘Recipient’ and the party providing the information is referred to as `Owner'. Such information or documentation shall be dealt with as set forth below.

 
 

 

 
A.
Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” includes both information of a commercial nature and information related to customers of the ATMs. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the following whether now in existence of hereafter created:

 
1.
Any information of or about Elan's consumer customers of any nature whatsoever, and specifically including without limitation, the fact that someone is a customer or prospective customer of Elan, all lists of customers, former customers, applicants and prospective customers and all personal or financial information relating to and identified with such persons (“Customer Information”);

 
2.
All information marked as "confidential" or similarly marked, or information that the Recipient should, in the exercise of reasonable business judgment, recognize as confidential;

 
3.
All business, financial or technical information of the Owner and any of the Owner's vendors (including, but not limited to account numbers, and software licensed from third parties or owned by the Owner or its affiliates);

 
4.
The Owner's marketing philosophy and objectives, promotions, markets, materials, financial results, technological developments and other similar proprietary information and materials;

 
5.
All information protected by rights embodied in copyrights, whether registered or unregistered (including all derivative works), patents or pending patent applications, "know how," trade secrets, and any other intellectual property rights of the Owner or Owner's licensors;

 
6.
Information with respect to employees of Elan which is non-public, confidential, business related, or proprietary in nature, including, without limitation, names of employees, the employees' positions within Elan company, the fact that they are employees of Elan, contact information for employees, personal employee identification numbers, and any other information released to you regarding employees in the past and in the future; and

 
7.
All notes, memoranda, analyses, compilations, studies and other documents, whether prepared by the Owner, the Recipient or others, which contain or otherwise reflect Confidential Information.

 
B.
Essential Obligation.

 
1.
Confidential Information must be held in confidence and disclosed only to those• employees or agents whose duties reasonably require access to such information. Recipient must protect the Owner's Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, disclosure or duplication (except as required for backup systems) of such Confidential Information as Recipient uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature.

 
2.
Because Elan is a federally-regulated financial institution that must comply with the safeguards for Customer Information contained in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA") and regulations promulgated pursuant to GLBA, ATM Owner, ATM Manager and Carrier must each establish appropriate measures designed to safeguard Customer Information. Specifically, ATM Owner, ATM Manager and Carrier must establish and maintain data security policies and procedures designed to ensure the following:

 
(a)
Security and confidentiality of Customer Information;

 
 

 

 
(b)
Protection against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Customer Information;

 
(c)
Protection against the unauthorized access or use of Customer Information.

 
3.
ATM Owner, ATM Manager and Carrier must permit Elan to monitor and audit their compliance with this Section during regular business hours upon not less than 48 hours' notice to the ATM Owner, ATM Manager or Carrier and to provide to Elan copies of audits and system test results acquired by ATM Owner, ATM Manager and Carrier in relation to the data security policies and procedures designed to meet the requirements set forth above.

 
C.
Compelled Disclosure.  If Recipient is required by a court or governmental agency having proper jurisdiction to disclose any Confidential Information, Recipient must promptly provide to the Owner notice of such request to enable the Owner to seek an appropriate protective order.

 
D.
Limited Use of Confidential Information and Survival of Obligations. Recipient may use the Confidential Information only as necessary for Recipient's performance hereunder or pursuant to rights granted herein and for no other purpose. Recipient's limited right to use the Confidential Information expires upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. Recipient's obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure survive termination or expiration for any reason of this Agreement.

 
E.
Disposition of Confidential Information.  Recipient must develop and maintain appropriate security measures for the proper disposal and destruction of Confidential Information. Upon Expiration of Recipient's limited right to use the Confidential Information, Recipient must return all physical embodiments thereof to Owner or, with Owner's permission, Recipient may destroy the Confidential Information. Recipient shall provide written certification to Owner that Recipient has returned, or destroyed, all such Confidential Information in Recipient's possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may retain one archival copy of Confidential Information, which may be used solely to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this Section.

 
F.
Disclosure to Third Parties.  If disclosure of Confidential Information to third parties is required or allowed under this Agreement, Recipient must ensure that such third parties have express obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure substantially similar to Recipient's obligations hereunder. Liability for damages because of disclosure of Confidential Information by any such third parties must be borne by Recipient.

 
G.
Exclusions.  Except for Customer(s) information, the term "Confidential Information" excludes any portion of such information that Recipient can establish by clear and convincing evidence to have been:

 
1.
Publicly known without breach of this Agreement;

 
2.
Known by Recipient without any obligation of confidentiality, prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information; or

 
3.
Received in good faith from a third-party source that to Recipient's reasonable knowledge rightfully disclosed such information; or
 
4.
Developed independently by Recipient without reference to the Owner's Confidential Information.

 
H.
Remedies.  If Recipient or any of its representatives or agents breaches the covenants set forth in this Agreement, irreparable injury may result to the Owner or third parties entrusting Confidential Information to the Owner. Therefore, the Owner's remedies at law may be inadequate and the Owner shall be entitled to seek an injunction to restrain any continuing breach. Notwithstanding any limitation on Recipient's liability, the Owner shall further be entitled any other rights and remedies that it may have at law or in equity.

 
 

 

 
I.
Intrusions/Disclosures. If there is any actual or suspected theft of, accidental disclosure of, loss of, or inability to account for any Confidential Information by a Party or any of its subcontractors (collectively "Disclosure") or any unauthorized intrusions into a Party's or any of its subcontractor's facilities or secure systems, (collectively "Intrusion") the Party must immediately i) notify the other Party, ii) estimate the Disclosure's or Intrusion's effect on the other Party, iii) specify the corrective action to be taken, and iv) investigate and determine if an Intrusion or Disclosure has occurred. If, based upon the Party's investigation, the Party determines that there has been an actual Disclosure or Intrusion, the Party must promptly notify the other Party, and must promptly investigate the scope of the Disclosure or Intrusion, and must promptly take corrective action to prevent further Disclosure or Intrusion. The Party must, as soon as is reasonably practicable, make a report to the other Party including details of the Disclosure (including Customer(s)' identities and the nature of the information disclosed) or Intrusion and the corrective action the Party has taken to prevent further Disclosure or Intrusion. The Party must, in the case of a Disclosure cooperate fully with the other Party to notify the other Party's Customer(s) as to the fact of and the circumstances of the Disclosure of the Customer's particular information. Additionally, the Party must cooperate fully with all government regulatory agencies or law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction and authority for investigating a Disclosure or any known or suspected criminal activity.

VII.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, WARRANTIES AND INDEMNIFICATION.

 
A.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The Parties acknowledge that the fees for the services provided by Elan are very small in relation to the Currency provided and consequently Elan's willingness to provide the Currency is based in part upon the liability limitations contained herein. Therefore, Elan's liability hereunder shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the fees received by Elan during the three (3) months prior to any claim made against Elan for damages. In no event will Elan, or its agents, officers, directors, or employees be liable for any indirect, exemplary, punitive, special, or consequential damages. Except as set forth in Exhibit B.

ACCOUNTING FOR CURRENCY.

 
A.
Accounting. ATM Manager, with the cooperation and assistance of Elan in its role as processing services provider shall account for all transactions at the ATMs daily and provide a daily status report with respect to each ATM, showing the amount of Currency dispensed from each and the amount of Currency remaining in the ATM. Elan in its role as Currency provider shall also prepare its own daily reconciliation for the Currency it provided. To the extent Elan's reconciliation shows a discrepancy, Elan shall, within seventy-two (72) hours of discovery of such discrepancy, provide notice to Carrier's customer service manager of the discrepancy. Elan's records shall be prima facie evidence of the Currency outstanding and delivered to the ATMs from time to time. Elan shall have the right, in its discretion to audit, inspect and settle any Currency from time to time and at any time, so as to reconcile all records of Currency held in each of the ATMs. Elan may conduct such audit and inspection procedures as it deems necessary, or as may be required by the regulatory agencies having responsibility over Elan's activities or by Elan's external auditors. Carrier shall provide Elan such access to the ATMs as is necessary for Elan to conduct its inspection and audit.

 
B.
ATM Reconciliation.  Elan will reconcile each ATM with the Currency load, residual and withdrawal information within five (5) days of the date of replenishment. In the event of a failure to reconcile, Elan will notify ATM Manager and Carrier. Failure of the ATM Manager to reconcile the ATM by the end of the calendar month in which the failure occurs, the failure to reconcile will be deemed to be a delinquent account and Elan may debit the Security Account for the amount of the failure. For any debit that exceeds the amount in the Security Account at the time the debit is executed, Elan may reduce the payment of monthly interchange income provided for under the Elan Processing Agreement in an amount sufficient to fully cover the failure. Elan may also offset the amounts due against any other funds of the ATM Manager on deposit with Elan or any of its affiliates.

 
 

 

 
C.
Return of Currency to Elan.  Elan acknowledges that the Currency deposited with the Carrier is intended for distribution to customers using the ATMs which have been loaded with the Currency supplied by Elan. The amount of Currency provided by Elan for use in the ATMs is returned to Elan via the transaction processing that occurs pursuant to the Processing Agreement and is not returned by payments in Currency, except for the Currency removed from the ATMs by the Carrier and delivered to Elan at the termination of the Agreement. The fees assessed for the use of the Currency by ATM Manager in the operation of the ATMs shall be based upon the actual daily balance of Currency from Elan to ATM Manager that is outstanding. The amount can only be increased by orders for additional Currency and decreased only by Currency returns or withdrawal activity.

FEES AND CHARGES FOR ATM MANAGER

I. 
CURRENCY FEES.

 
A.
ATM Owner/Manager will be charged a "Cash Rate", defined as the highest Prime Rate as published by The Wall Street Journal for the applicable month per the schedule below, for the Cash Balance by terminal.

Monthly Cash Balance
 
Cash Rate
     
0 – 1,000,000
 
Prime – 1%
     
1,000,0001+
 
Prime – 1.25%

The cash rate as quoted above will be applied as a "step rate" and not a "blended rate", meaning, as the outstanding cash balance moves into a higher rate tier, the rate will apply to the entire cash balance. For example, a monthly outstanding balance of $1,875,000 would have a flat rate of Prime minus 25 basis points applies to the entire balance. Alternatively, a monthly outstanding balance of $2,875,000 would have a flat rate of Prime minus 50 basis points applies to the entire outstanding balance.

 
B.
The "Cash Balance" will be determined by taking the average cash in the terminal multiplied by • a Factor of X. The Factor is determined by the frequency of cash loads during the course of one month of services. Factor Schedule for service frequencies as follows: Every 28 day Service = 1.25; Bi-Weekly Service = 1.45; Weekly Service =1.8; Semi-Weekly Service = 2.55.

Vault Cash valuation example:
 
ATM is loaded with $10,000 on 1/1, serviced on 1/31 and $2,000 residual cash remains in the ATM. The average cash in the terminal is ($10,000 load + $2,000 residual) / 2, = to $6,000. $6,000 * 1.25 factor = $7,500 (the Cash Balance). For this example, Prime = 7% and the Cash Rate is Prime + 2%, or 9%.
 
Cash Balance
  $7,500.00
Times Cash Rate
  9.00%
Times days in the month, Divided by 365 days
 
31/365 (in a 31 day month)
     
Calculation
  $57.33
