This CONTRACT CASH SOLUTIONS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of
July 20, 2007, by and among CARDTRONICS, INC. (“Cardtronics” or a “Client”), a
Texas corporation, CARDTRONICS, LP (“LP” or a “Client” and collectively with
Cardtronics, the “Clients”), each with its principal office located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 and XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Xxxxx Fargo”),
a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States with an
office located at 0000 Xxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000. Each Client and Xxxxx Fargo
may be referred to herein as a “Party,” or “Parties” when referring to all of them.
Recitals
1. Clients are purchasing the Covered Machines (defined below) listed on the initial
Exhibit A from 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-Eleven”) and Vcom Financial Services, Inc.
(“VFS”) (the “7-Eleven Machine Acquisition”).
2. Upon consummation of the 7-Eleven Machine Acquisition, Clients will operate a network of
Vcom machines (individually, a “Vcom” and collectively, “Vcoms”) that dispense
currency and can perform a number of other financial and consumer transactions such as debit
purchase transactions, credit card cash advance transactions, money order transactions, and check
cashing transactions. For purposes of this Agreement, there are two types of Vcoms in operation.
The first type of Vcom (each a “Full Service Vcom” and collectively, “Full Service
Vcoms”), which numbers approximately 1,036 on the date hereof, includes within its functions
bunch note acceptors (“BNA”). The second type of Vcoms, which numbers approximately 1,032
on the date hereof, do not include within its functions BNA (each a “Regular Vcom” and
collectively, “Regular Vcoms”). Clients also will operate a network of approximately 3,509
automated teller machines (“ATMs” and together with the Vcoms, “Machines”) that are
part of the 7-Eleven Machine Acquisition.
3. The Machines that are subject to this Agreement (the “Covered Machines”) are listed
in Exhibit A to this Agreement (sub-Exhibit A-1 for Vcoms and sub-Exhibit A-2 for ATMs), as
such exhibits may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
4. Clients may, from time to time, replace existing ATMs with and/or convert them to Vcoms and
vice versa and the Machines covered by this Agreement may, from time to time,
change.
5. Xxxxx Fargo provides banking services and maintains currency as dictated by law and as
required to meet the needs of its depositors (“Needs”).
6. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Xxxxx Fargo desires to provide the currency needed
for the dispensing requirements of all of the Covered Machines in the amounts to be specified by
Clients from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to perform balancing and
processing services (the “Work”) for the Covered Machines.
7. Xxxxx Fargo, through its vault network, Federal Reserve Bank vaults, and various
third-party providers (each a “Cash Supplier”) will cause the Cash to be made available to
the Armored Carriers for use in the Covered Machines, and Armored Carriers shall transport and
replenish the Cash in the Covered Machines in accordance with this Agreement and the Armored
Carrier Letter Agreements.
8. Provided the Cash satisfies the then-current guidelines established by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board”), until the Needs Delivery Termination
Date (defined below), Xxxxx Fargo may treat Cash placed in the Covered Machines as “vault cash” for
purposes of reserve requirements under Regulation D, 12 C.F.R. Part 204 (“Regulation D”),
as promulgated by the Board, until such Cash is dispensed from the Covered Machines.
9. Clients have entered into or assumed contracts with each of the persons and entities listed
on Exhibit B as servicers (together with any successor or assign, individually, a
“Servicer” and collectively, “Servicers”) to perform certain services in connection
with the Covered Machines pursuant to separate agreements with Servicers (hereinafter referred to
individually as a “Servicer Agreement” and collectively as the “Servicer
Agreements”). In the event either Client desires to add a new service provider where such
provider’s service will dispense Cash from a Covered Machine (other than dispensing change
incidental to the service), such Client may add such new service provider as a Servicer to
Exhibit B by providing 30 days written notice to Xxxxx Fargo and submitting an amended
Exhibit B to Xxxxx Fargo listing the current Servicers and an executed Servicer Letter for
the new service provider.
10. Clients have entered into or assumed, and will, with respect to future services, enter
into prior to providing any services, a letter agreement with each Servicer, in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Servicer Letter”) by which the parties
thereto acknowledge or will acknowledge their rights and obligations with respect to the Cash and
Receivables (as defined therein) and the procedures for settlement of transactions involving the
dispensing of Cash from Covered Machines.
11. Clients have entered into contracts with one or more armored carriers (with successors,
collectively, “Armored Carriers” and individually, “Armored Carrier”) for
purposes, among other things, of delivering Cash to, and retrieving Cash from, the Covered Machines
(collectively, the “Armored Carrier Contracts,” and individually, an “Armored Carrier
Contract”) and have entered into or assumed a separate letter agreement in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit D with each Armored Carrier in connection with the Covered
Machines among Clients, Xxxxx Fargo and Armored Carrier (individually, “Armored Carrier Letter
Agreement” and
collectively the “Armored Carrier Letter Agreements”).
12. Clients may contract with one or more third-parties (individually, a “Maintenance
Provider,” and collectively, the “Maintenance Providers”) who in connection with its
duties to maintain the Covered Machines, may have access to the Cash in the Covered Machines. Each
such agreement with a Maintenance Provider shall be referred to individually herein as a
“Maintenance Contract” and collectively, “Maintenance Contracts”. Clients have
entered into or assumed, and will, with respect to future Maintenance Providers, enter a separate
letter
2
agreement with each Maintenance Provider in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit E (individually a “Maintenance Letter” and collectively, the
“Maintenance Letters”).
Agreement
ACCORDINGLY, the Parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
I. General.
A. | Inconsistencies; Incorporation of Recitals. In the case of inconsistencies between this Agreement and any other agreements between Xxxxx Fargo and either Client that deal with the subject matter of this Agreement (including Xxxxx Fargo account agreements), the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by reference as part of this Agreement. | ||
B. | Effect of non-Business Days on deadlines. If any deadline specified in this Agreement falls upon a non-Business Day, such deadline shall be extended to the next day that is a Business Day. | ||
C. | Recovery Plan. The provisions of the current cash retrieval and disaster recovery plans attached hereto as Exhibit F (“Recovery Plan”) are incorporated in and supplement the terms of this Agreement. The locations and delivery times of Xxxxx Fargo Network Locations and other information in the cash recovery plan attached as Exhibit F will be supplemented or otherwise restated monthly based upon updated information from Clients and upon either Client’s addition or deletion of a Covered Machine. Any other supplements or restatements of the Recovery Plan shall become effective only upon the prior written consent of Clients. | ||
D. | Covered Machines. The current list of Covered Machines is set forth in Exhibit A. Subject to Section I.F. below, either Client may, upon five Business Days prior written notice to Xxxxx Fargo, delete Machines listed as Covered Machines (such deletion to be effective only after all Cash is removed from the Covered Machine by the Armored Carrier). Subject to Section I.F. below, either Client may add new Covered Machines to the appropriate subpart of Exhibit A from time to time upon written notice to Xxxxx Fargo according to the procedure set forth in this Paragraph. If the new Covered Machine can be serviced by an existing Xxxxx Fargo Network Location, does not occur during the first or last week of a month (the “Freeze Period”) and the aggregate number of Covered Machines being added does not exceed 100, Clients will provide Xxxxx Fargo five Business Days prior written notice of the change. If either Client reasonably determines that the new Covered Machine will require a new Xxxxx Fargo Network Location or if the aggregate number of Covered Machines being added exceeds 100, such Client shall provide Xxxxx Fargo 45 days prior written notice of the change. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, any Covered Machines being added during a Freeze Period will be done solely on a best efforts |
3
basis and as long as there are sufficient Xxxxx Fargo AU/General Ledger combinations as a unique AU/GL combination is required for each new Covered Machine in order to account for the Cash (currently there are up to [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] General Ledger lines available per Xxxxx Fargo AU). Xxxxx Fargo hereby agrees to supply the Cash to the new proposed Machines in the continental United States from the nearest Xxxxx Fargo Network Location. Xxxxx Fargo shall respond to a Client’s request for a new Xxxxx Fargo Network Location in writing within 10 Business Days of such Client’s request to add a Covered Machine(s), and such response shall indicate the proposed Xxxxx Fargo Network Location that Xxxxx Fargo intends to use to supply the Cash to the new Covered Machine(s). The applicable Client shall respond in writing to Xxxxx Fargo within 10 Business Days, either approving or rejecting the proposed Xxxxx Fargo Network Location for the proposed Covered Machine(s) and describing the reasons for a rejection. If a Client rejects the proposed Xxxxx Fargo Network Location(s) for a proposed Covered Machine, such Client may supply the new Machine with currency and coin from any other source, and such new Machine shall not be added to Exhibit A as a Covered Machine. In no event shall Work be performed for Covered Machines except by Xxxxx Fargo. | |||
E. | Exceptions. For avoidance of doubt and in addition to any exclusions set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit Clients from procuring currency and coin for the Covered Machines from any source other than Xxxxx Fargo if Xxxxx Fargo is unable to provide Cash (on account of a Force Majeure Event or otherwise) so long as (i) any Cash is first removed from the applicable Covered Machine (at which time the Machine will be deleted from Exhibit A), and (ii) Cash is never commingled with currency or coin of either Client or any other person or source. | ||
F. | Limitations on Additions and Deletions. On the date of this Agreement and on each July 15 during the term hereof, Clients will provide to Xxxxx Fargo a forecast of the number of Machines that will be Covered Machines during the following calendar year (the “Annual Limit”) and during the three next succeeding calendar years. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the number of Covered Machines shall never exceed the then applicable Annual Limit. As provided in Section I.D. the number of Covered Machines being added may be limited during Freeze Periods. |
II. Contract Cash Services; Work.
X. | Xxxxx Fargo’s General Obligation to Supply Cash. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Xxxxx Fargo agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished all United States currency and coin in denominations and that either is new or is in physical condition suitable for dispensing from a Machine in the amounts to be ordered by |
4
Clients (such new or ATM fit United States currency and coin as provided or arranged by Xxxxx Fargo, the “Cash”), provided that before the Needs Redelivery Termination Date, Xxxxx Fargo determines that it has sufficient cash on hand to meet Needs. For avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the term “Cash” does not include currency or coin accepted by the Machines from Machine Clients. | |||
B. | Orders. Subject to Paragraph C below, Xxxxx Fargo agrees to supply (or cause to be supplied) all of the Covered Machines with adequate Cash to meet each Client’s Cash order requests for each of the Covered Machines. Clients will provide Xxxxx Fargo with at least two weeks prior written notice of the forecasted amount of Cash needed to accommodate holiday spikes, new locations and increased activities, in each case estimating Cash needs by city, location and denomination. Clients shall give Xxxxx Fargo an order for Cash by the time(s) designated for each Xxxxx Fargo, Cash Supplier, Federal Reserve or other vault location, each a “Xxxxx Fargo Network Location”). Clients shall specify the amount and denomination of Cash to be supplied in the manner required under Xxxxx Fargo’s cash vault ordering requirements. In the event that any applicable Xxxxx Fargo Network Location cannot supply a Client with the volume of adequate Cash required to meet each Cash order for the Covered Machines, Xxxxx Fargo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from other sources as much of such Cash as is practicable to fill such Client’s order. | ||
C. | Maximum Amount of Cash to be Supplied. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate total of Cash to be provided by Xxxxx Fargo under this Agreement shall at no time exceed (1) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] (A) during time the Parties agree-upon in writing during Christmas and New Year’s holiday periods and (B) between January 15 and March 31 of each year during the term hereof (the “Tax Season”), and (2) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] at all other times, which amounts in clauses (A) and (B) above include the sum of (x) all Cash with Armored Carriers, (y) Cash in Covered Machines, and (z) all payments owed by Servicers, including any amount to be reimbursed by way of credit to the Settlement Accounts in immediately available funds, net of all adjustments, chargebacks, representations and other corrections to all transactions under the Servicing Agreements (the “Maximum Available Amount”). At no time other than Tax Season shall Cash inside any Covered Machine exceed [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST]. During Tax Season, at no time shall Cash inside any Covered Machine exceed [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE |
5
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST]. | |||
D. | No Commingling of Cash. Each Client agrees that during the term of this Agreement the only currency and coin to be placed in any of the cash cassettes used for dispensing currency and coin from a Covered Machine shall be Xxxxx Fargo’s Cash. This restriction on commingling applies irrespective of whether a Client intends to supply currency and coins to a particular Covered Machine from another cash provider and regardless of whether Xxxxx Fargo failed to supply the Covered Machine or otherwise. | ||
E. | Cash May Only be Used in Covered Machines. Each Client agrees that at no time will Cash (i) be used or placed in Machines other than the Covered Machines, or (ii) be used for a purpose other than dispensing currency and coin needs at the Covered Machines. | ||
F. | Treatment of Cash as “Vault Cash”. Until the Needs Redelivery Termination Date, Cash may be considered by Xxxxx Fargo to be “vault cash” as defined in section 204.2(k) of Regulation D until such time as it is dispensed from the Covered Machines. | ||
G. | Work. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Xxxxx Fargo will provide Work for the Covered Machines during the term of this Agreement. | ||
H. | Third-Party Premises. Except as otherwise provided below, all agreements between either Client and a third-party for the placement of an ATM on such third party’s premises (each an “Machine Placement Agreement”) shall provide substantially as follows before such Machine shall be deemed a Covered Machine: |
1. | Ownership of Cash. The Cash contained in the Covered Machines is and, until dispensed in a cash dispensing transaction, always will be owned by and will be solely and exclusively the property of Xxxxx Fargo and not Client or any third-party. | ||
2. | Xxxxx Fargo Access to Covered Machines. At least between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM local time and such additional time periods that the third party may deem to be its normal business hours (and upon reasonable request during non-business hours), Xxxxx Fargo and its authorized agents shall be permitted by the third party to enter on the premises on which the Covered Machines are located to inspect the Covered Machines, deliver Cash to and retrieve Cash from the Covered Machines, supervise and/or inspect the servicing and repair of Covered Machines and otherwise protect Xxxxx Fargo’s interest in the Cash contained in the Covered Machines. |
6
3. | Third-Party Access to Cash Prohibited. The third-party shall not, and it shall instruct any person or entity performing any services in the third-party premises not to, open or attempt to open or move or attempt to move any Covered Machine. |
III. | Plan and Procedures. To ensure repayment of the Cash dispensed from the Covered Machines (the “Dispensed Cash”) and to enable Xxxxx Fargo to perform the Work, the Parties agree to the settlement procedures, balancing and processing set forth below: |
A. | Commencement. At 12:00 a.m. Central Time in the case of Vcoms and 3:00 p.m. Central Time in the case of ATMs (the “Beginning Measurement Time”) on a date to be agreed upon in writing by the Parties (the “Settlement Start Date”) the settlement procedures for Covered Machines shall become effective. The Settlement Start Date shall be the date the 7-Eleven Machine Acquisition is consummated and the currency and coin in the cash cassette in each initial Covered Machine, in the Armored Carrier’s vault or in transit with the Armored Carrier, in each case intended for use in such Covered Machines shall be Cash hereunder (the “Starting Cash”). The Starting Cash shall be effected by the notification by Xxxxx Fargo in writing of the currency and coin balances contained in each Acquired Machine, in the Armored Carrier’s vault or in transit with the Armored Carrier, in each case intended for use in Acquired Machines (the aggregate of such balances being referred-to as the “Expected Amount”). The procedures for reconciling any difference between the Starting Cash and the Expected Amount will be as provided in the True-up Agreement, dated as of even date, among Clients, Xxxxx Fargo, 7-Eleven and VFS in the form set forth in Exhibit G (the “True-up Agreement”). | ||
B. | Daily Reports. |
1. | By [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST], Central Time, on each Business Day, Clients shall deliver to Xxxxx Fargo daily reports (“Daily Reports”) as follows: |
a. | File 1.

d. | File 4. Separate reports (each a “File 4 Report”) for Covered Machines by Type that provide the amount of Cash deposited in each Covered Machine serviced since the preceding Business Day from [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST].

Xxxxx Fargo may from time to time designate a different account to be used as a Settlement Account by giving 90 Business Days prior written notice to Cardtronics. | ||
D. | Settlements. All settlements with Servicers or either Client for Dispensed Cash shall be effected by ACH or wire transfer directly into the applicable Settlement Account.

If at any time Xxxxx Fargo learns that Cash is out-of-balance (by use of the Bank Reports or otherwise), Xxxxx Fargo shall notify Clients of the imbalance within five days of such discovery, and within 60 days of providing such notice to Clients, Xxxxx Fargo shall credit or debit, as applicable, the appropriate Operating Account for such overage or shortage. Variances will be settled as of the last Business Day of the month when the difference reaches 60 days. | ||

G. | Client Operating Accounts. Clients shall designate a deposit account as their operating account for Vcoms and another depository account as their operating account for ATMs, each to be at Xxxxx Fargo (each an “Operating Account” and collectively, the “Operating Accounts”).

Clients may designate a different account |
10

IV. | Risk of Loss. |
A. | Risk of Loss — Cash in Covered Machines. As between Xxxxx Fargo and Clients, Clients, jointly and severally, shall bear all risk of loss and all liability with respect to the Cash during the time the Cash is located in the Covered Machines, including, but not limited to, loss due to theft or destruction of any of the Cash (whether or not such theft or destruction is due to an event beyond a Client’s reasonable control), malfunction of equipment, or misfeasance or malfeasance of a Client or Clients, Maintenance Provider, and their agents or employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Client shall be liable or responsible for any loss of Cash: |
1. | to the extent due to the willful acts or omissions of Xxxxx Fargo, its agents, or employees; | ||
2. | where specifically provided otherwise herein; | ||
3. | until the Needs Redelivery Termination Date upon Needs Redelivery (but subject to Section IV.C.3. below); or | ||
4. | before Cash ordered under this Agreement has been picked up by an Armored Carrier. |
B. | Risk of Loss – Cash In Possession of Xxxxx Fargo or a Xxxxx Fargo Network Location. As between Xxxxx Fargo and Clients, Xxxxx Fargo shall bear all risk of loss with respect to Cash both (1) after such Cash has been returned to a Xxxxx Fargo Network Location, and (2) before such Cash has been picked up by an Armored Carrier pursuant to a Client’s order for the ultimate purpose of supplying a Covered Machine. The foregoing risk of loss includes without limitation, loss due to theft or destruction of any of the Cash (whether or not such theft or destruction is due to an event beyond Xxxxx Fargo’s reasonable control), malfunction of Xxxxx Fargo equipment, or misfeasance or malfeasance of Xxxxx Fargo, its agents or employees. |
11
C. | Risk of Loss – Cash in Possession of Armored Carrier. Except as otherwise provided herein, as between Xxxxx Fargo and Clients, Clients, jointly and severally, expressly assume and agree to indemnify Xxxxx Fargo for any and all liability with respect to a Cash shortage, or loss, theft, disappearance, robbery, or destruction of any of the Cash during the time the same is (or should be) in the possession of an Armored Carrier until it is returned to a Xxxxx Fargo Network Location. |
1. | Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Client shall be liable to Xxxxx Fargo for any loss, theft, or destruction of the Cash to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Xxxxx Fargo, any Cash Supplier or their respective agents or employees. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve an Armored Carrier of its responsibilities with regard to the Cash. | ||
2. | Xxxxx Fargo shall assign to Clients all of Xxxxx Fargo’s rights to collect any Cash losses, theft or destruction from the Armored Carrier upon collection by Xxxxx Fargo from Clients for such losses, theft or destruction. Xxxxx Fargo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with, and assist, Clients in collecting such unpaid amounts after such assignment, including providing Clients with any evidence of the claimed shortage, loss, theft or destruction. All such efforts by Xxxxx Fargo shall be at each Client’s expense. | ||
3. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any risk of loss during Needs Redelivery or redelivery upon a Xxxxx Fargo Event of Default of the Cash shall be borne by Xxxxx Fargo, provided that Clients shall remain liable for Cash shortages in the Covered Machines prior to pick-up. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve an Armored Carrier of its responsibilities with regard to the Cash. |

V. | Ownership of Cash. |
A. | Cash Remains the Property of Xxxxx Fargo. Xxxxx Fargo shall have absolute ownership, title and control of all of the Cash used in the Covered Machines at all |
12
times. No ownership of the Cash or payments owing from Servicers for Dispensed Cash shall accrue, transfer, or otherwise inure to either Client or any other person. Clients and Xxxxx Fargo agree that: |
1. | all of the Cash shall remain the property of Xxxxx Fargo, and Xxxxx Fargo shall have all right, title, and interest in and to the Cash and may treat the Cash as its asset until such time as it is dispensed from any of the Covered Machines in a cash dispensing transaction; and | ||
2. | none of the Cash shall at any time become the property of Clients, or any other person until such time as it is dispensed from any of the Covered Machines in a cash dispensing transaction. |
Neither Client shall take actions inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the intent of the Parties that all Cash provided to an Armored Carrier by a Xxxxx Fargo Network Location, regardless of physical location, remains the property of Xxxxx Fargo until it is dispensed from the Covered Machines or surrendered by the Armored Carrier to a Xxxxx Fargo Network Location as set forth in this Agreement. |
B. | No Client or Third-Party Interest in Cash. It is expressly agreed between the Parties that neither of Clients nor any other person or entity has any possessory or ownership rights to the Cash or Receivables (as defined in the Servicer Letters) under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. It is expressly understood that no other financial institution, including without limitation, any Cash Supplier, can utilize the Cash to satisfy its own reserve requirements. Neither Client, nor any other person (other than an Armored Carrier and the Maintenance Providers for purposes of maintenance of the Covered Machines pursuant to the Maintenance Contracts) shall have any access to, or use of, any of the Cash after delivery of the same to Armored Carrier, whether during transportation or storage by Armored Carrier or while it is stored in the vaults of the Covered Machines, except as such use relates to the dispensing of any of the Cash in a cash dispensing transaction from one of the Covered Machines. Once any of the Cash is delivered to Armored Carrier, it shall only be transported or stored by Armored Carrier and finally placed in one of the Covered Machines or handled by the Maintenance Providers in a way that is consistent with the terms of the Maintenance Contracts. Under no circumstances shall either Client hold itself out as the owner of the Cash or in any way represent to any person or entity that it owns the Cash. | ||
C. | Labeling of Covered Machines. If requested by Xxxxx Fargo, each Covered Machine shall display a sticker notice inside the Covered Machine’s outer cover in such a place as is visible to a person accessing the inside of the Covered Machine, reading as follows: “ALL CASH IN THE CASH CASSETTE IN THIS TERMINAL IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.” Xxxxx Fargo shall bear the |
13
cost of the sticker notices, and all costs related to affixing the sticker notices to the Covered Machines shall be at each Client’s expense. | |||
D. | Needs Redelivery of Cash to Xxxxx Fargo Until the Needs Redelivery Termination Date. “Needs Redelivery” means the redelivery of all or a portion of the Cash to Xxxxx Fargo by an Armored Carrier pursuant to the Recovery Plan as required to meet Needs. Xxxxx Fargo may demand Needs Redelivery of the Cash, upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, a Client Event of Default or a Termination Trigger Event, and with contemporaneous notice to Clients and Armored Carrier. Upon Xxxxx Fargo demand for Needs Redelivery, Armored Carrier will deliver all or any part of the Cash, pursuant to the Recovery Plan and the Armored Carrier Contracts, then in the Covered Machines or otherwise in possession of Armored Carrier and return it to the applicable Xxxxx Fargo Network Location or otherwise deliver it as Xxxxx Fargo instructs, with or without judicial process, and without the consent of Clients. Needs Redelivery shall be made at the expense of Xxxxx Fargo and to the addresses specified by Xxxxx Fargo in the Recovery Plan. A “Trigger Event” shall mean any circumstance whereby Xxxxx Fargo is not, or believes it is not, reasonably able to meet Needs without Needs Redelivery of all or a portion of the Cash from the Covered Machines. | ||
E. | Other Redelivery. Either Client can initiate a redelivery of Cash upon a Xxxxx Fargo Event of Default or a Termination Trigger Event invoked by Clients, and Xxxxx Fargo can initiate redelivery of Cash upon a Client Event of Default or a Termination Trigger Event invoked by it. |
VI. | Armored Carrier Service. |
A. | Armored Carrier — General. Armored Carriers selected to handle the Cash, including all loading of any of the Cash into any of the Covered Machines, shall be a duly qualified armored car operator, selected by Clients (and reasonably acceptable to Xxxxx Fargo) and contracted for by Clients. Clients may replace any Armored Carrier only upon prior written notice and with Xxxxx Fargo’s express written consent which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Clients will use their best efforts to provide the prior written notice to Xxxxx Fargo at least 30 days prior to such replacement, but in no event sooner than is reasonably necessary to ensure that the replacement Armored Carrier is a duly qualified armored car operator. For avoidance of doubt, a “duly qualified armored carrier operator” is one that is properly licensed, has provided to the Xxxxx Fargo Network Locations a signature list of those authorized to pick up Cash and the photos of whom are on file, for whom an authorization letter is on file from Clients indicating what actions Xxxxx Fargo is to take with respect to a particular Armored Carrier, whose trucks, uniforms and other identifications match and who otherwise meets the security and operational standards of such Xxxxx Fargo Network Locations. |
14
B. | Procedures for Needs Redelivery of Cash. Needs Redelivery pursuant to Paragraph V.D. shall occur on a same-day basis in accordance with the Recovery Plan. For requests made prior to [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] local time of a Business Day, Cash will be deemed to be delivered on a same-day basis if the applicable Xxxxx Fargo Network Location receives it at the Xxxxx Fargo Network Location by [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] local time the day of request. For requests made after [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] local time of a Business Day, Cash will be deemed to be received on a same-day basis if Xxxxx Fargo Network Location receives it prior to [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] local time the next Business Day. In response to a Needs Redelivery demand, made in accordance with this Agreement, Clients shall act in accordance with the Recovery Plan and shall not obstruct Needs Redelivery of the Cash. | ||
C. | Cash Held by Armored Carrier. Clients shall contractually obligate Armored Carrier to segregate Cash held by Armored Carrier from all other currency and coin until such time as the Cash is required to be placed in specific Covered Machines or until it is requested to be returned to Xxxxx Fargo and to meet the standards set forth in Paragraph VI.A. above. | ||
D. | Covered Machine Access. No employee of Armored Carrier shall have the authority to access the Cash stored in any Covered Machine, except as provided below. The only parties having authorized access to the Cash stored in the Covered Machines shall be (i) Armored Carriers for the purposes of loading Cash in, or removing Cash from, the Covered Machines, as provided in the Armored Carrier Contracts, (ii) Armored Carriers for purposes of redelivery of the Cash to Xxxxx Fargo Network Location pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) the Maintenance Providers for purposes of Machine maintenance as set forth in the Maintenance Contracts. | ||
E. | Responsibilities. Xxxxx Fargo and each Client each agree that they shall not conceal or misrepresent any material fact or circumstance concerning the Cash delivered to Armored Carrier pursuant to this Agreement and the Armored Carrier Contracts. |
1. | Xxxxx Fargo agrees to supply all the Cash to Armored Carrier directly through any of the applicable Xxxxx Fargo Network Location(s) in a sealed |
15
or locked bag, together with a shipping document verifying the value of the Cash in the bag. The value of the Cash set forth in such shipping document that accompanies the release by the applicable Xxxxx Fargo Network Location of any sealed or locked bag shall be conclusively deemed the amount of the Cash invoiced. Each Client’s contract with each Armored Carrier shall, in the event of any reportable shortage claimed in the contents of a sealed or locked cash bag received by Armored Carrier from the Xxxxx Fargo Network Location, obligate Armored Carrier to promptly notify such Client and Xxxxx Fargo of the shortage. With respect to cash bags received from the Federal Reserve Bank or a Cash Supplier, each such contract shall also obligate the Armored Carrier to (i) provide reasonable assistance to Xxxxx Fargo in presenting difference claims to the relevant Federal Reserve Bank or Cash Supplier in accordance with Federal Reserve Bank regulations or operating circular, if any; and (ii) comply with any requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Bank or the relevant Cash Supplier in connection with the reporting of such shortages. In the event that such difference cannot be resolved, Xxxxx Fargo and Clients will in good faith attempt to resolve the difference between them. If such efforts are unsuccessful (i) with respect to sums which Clients claim in writing are owed to them, within 60 days of receipt of the claim by Xxxxx Fargo, or (ii) with respect to sums which Xxxxx Fargo claims in writing are owed to it, within 60 days of receipt of the claim by Clients, the parties agree to resolve the issue in accordance with the mediation and arbitration provisions of this Agreement. The parties will from time to time mutually agree upon any minimal differences that need not be reported and such threshold amounts that must be reported on a same-day or next-Business-Day basis. | |||
2. | Upon request of Xxxxx Fargo, each Client agrees to provide to Xxxxx Fargo, its agents and its legal advisors a copy of each Armored Carrier Contract in its possession. |
F. | Armored Carrier Letter Agreements. Prior to utilizing any Armored Carrier other than an Armored Carrier whose contract is assumed in connection with the 7-Eleven Machine Acquisition, each of Clients, Xxxxx Fargo and the Armored Carrier shall enter into an Armored Carrier Letter Agreement substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E. | ||
G. | Vault Security. Xxxxx Fargo shall inform Clients in writing of any regulatory requirements imposed upon Xxxxx Fargo with respect to security measures that are applicable to the maintenance of the Cash in each Armored Carrier’s vault facilities. Each Client shall immediately communicate such information to each Armored Carrier. Clients shall take reasonable steps to ensure that each Armored Carrier agrees to comply with any such regulatory requirements. |
16
VII. | Fees. |
A. | General. Clients, jointly and severally, agree to pay Xxxxx Fargo the fees calculated in accordance with the terms of a separate fee letter between Xxxxx Fargo and Clients (the “Fee Letter”), which is hereby incorporated into this Agreement, which may be amended after the initial term of this Agreement as provided herein. Following the initial two-year term of this Agreement, fees may be changed by Xxxxx Fargo on 30 days prior notice to Clients and Clients are free to accept such changes or terminate this Agreement. | ||
B. | Taxes. Clients, jointly and severally, shall pay or reimburse Xxxxx Fargo for any applicable taxes levied, imposed or assessed upon Xxxxx Fargo as a result of its provision of Cash to Clients under this Agreement, excluding personal property taxes assessed against or payable by Xxxxx Fargo (except for taxes relating to personal property owned by Clients), taxes based upon Xxxxx Fargo’s net income and Xxxxx Fargo’s corporate franchise taxes. Alternatively to such payment or reimbursement, a Client may satisfy its obligation in this paragraph by providing Xxxxx Fargo with an exemption certificate that establishes that no tax is due. Xxxxx Fargo shall furnish Clients with invoices showing separately itemized amounts due under this paragraph with respect to applicable taxes (if any). If a Client pays or reimburses Xxxxx Fargo for any taxes pursuant to this paragraph, Xxxxx Fargo hereby assigns and transfers to such Client all of Xxxxx Fargo’s rights, title and interest in and to any refund for taxes paid. Any claim for refund of taxes against the assessing authority may be made in the name of a Client or Xxxxx Fargo, or both at such Client’s option. Clients may initiate and manage litigation brought in the name of Clients or Xxxxx Fargo, or both, to obtain refunds of amounts of taxes paid under this paragraph. Xxxxx Fargo shall cooperate fully with Clients in pursuing any refund claims, including any related litigation or administration procedures. | ||
C. | Costs and Expenses. Clients, jointly and severally, agree to pay or reimburse Xxxxx Fargo on demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxx Fargo in connection with the preparation, negotiation and delivery of this Agreement and its Exhibits and any amendments or waivers thereto from time to time, including without limitation all reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel. | ||

Xxxxx Fargo shall debit the appropriate Operating Account for all billed amounts on an agreed-upon day of the month that is no later than the 20th day after delivery of such monthly billing statement. To the extent that the appropriate Operating Account contains insufficient funds to accommodate such |
17
debit, the unpaid amount shall become immediately due and payable upon notice to Clients and Clients shall immediately pay the unpaid amount to Xxxxx Fargo. | |||
E. | Service Level Adjustments. 1. If Xxxxx Fargo fails to either (i) provide Cash for any particular Covered Machine pursuant to Paragraph II.A (unless otherwise excused pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), or (ii) provide Cash as required in Paragraph II.B. above, then Xxxxx Fargo shall either pay those additional expenses to Clients which have been incurred by Clients related solely to the failure on part of Xxxxx Fargo to deliver Cash to the Armored Carrier, or credit such amounts to Clients against the above referenced billing statement, at the election of Xxxxx Fargo. |
2. | If Clients fail to maintain during any 12-month period Covered Machines at least equal to [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] of the Covered Machines on the effective date of this Agreement (the “Baseline”) or in the event of any automatic renewal or extension hereof, the lesser of (i) the Baseline and (ii) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] of the Covered Machines as of the date of such extension or renewal (the “Required Percentage of Covered Machines”), Xxxxx Fargo shall be entitled to readjust the fees provided for hereunder so that its expected fees, yields and returns are at least equal to those that would have been achieved had the Required Percentage of Covered Machines been maintained. |

Xxxxx Fargo shall promptly notify Clients of any regulations or changes of applicable laws which might affect the terms of this |
24
Agreement or a Party’s obligations hereunder.

D. | No Consequential Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER, SUFFERED BY ANOTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS ARISING OUT OF THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

25
FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT, AND THE AMOUNTS OF THE PAYMENTS TO BE MADE UNDER THE AGREEMENT. | |||

The Parties agree that the provisions of this paragraph do not relieve them of their respective risks of loss with respect to Cash as set forth in Section IV of this Agreement. |
XI. | Term; Survival; Early Termination Fee. |
A. | General. The initial term of this Agreement shall be two years from the date first written above and shall be renewed for additional one-year periods unless a Party gives at least 180 days prior written notice of its intent not to renew, provided, however, that each such renewal shall be subject to a written agreement about pricing and such other terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon among the Parties (the “Stated Termination Date”), unless earlier terminated by a Party as provided in this Agreement (the “Actual Termination Date”). | ||
B. | Redelivery. Upon redelivery as provided in this Agreement, each Client shall be responsible and liable for: (i) collecting and delivering to Xxxxx Fargo all payments due from Servicers for Dispensed Cash; and (ii) using its best commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Armored Carrier effects redelivery of the Cash in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event a Client terminates the Agreement as provided herein, Xxxxx Fargo shall use its best commercially reasonable efforts to effect redelivery and shall not delay or otherwise obstruct the efforts of Clients to transition currency and coin services to another provider. | ||

(until Final Settlement), IV., V.A., V.B., V.D., VI.B., VI.D., VI.E., IX., XI. and XIV shall survive and continue in full force and effect until such time as all Cash then outstanding has been returned to Xxxxx Fargo (or reimbursed to Clients for any corrective payments of shortfall or overpayment by Clients), all |
26
payments due from Servicers for Dispensed Cash then outstanding have been paid to Xxxxx Fargo, and all fees owing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement have been paid and (ii) Section X shall survive and continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable period of limitations. | |||
D. | Failure to Furnish Cash. If a Client terminates this Agreement because Xxxxx Fargo is unable to furnish sufficient Cash to comply with this Agreement, the Cash shall either be redelivered within the timeframe and in the manner mutually agreed-to between the Clients and Xxxxx Fargo or transferred via Fedwire to Xxxxx Fargo in an amount equal to the then outstanding Cash within such timeframe. Xxxxx Fargo shall be liable for any actual costs incurred by Clients in connection with such redelivery. Subject to Section IV. (Risk of Loss) and Paragraph VII.E. (Service Level Adjustments), Xxxxx Fargo shall not otherwise be liable for any damages incurred by Clients on account of redelivery instituted by Clients due to Xxxxx Fargo’s inability to furnish the Cash, nor shall Xxxxx Fargo be liable for any damages resulting from the inability of cardholders to use the Covered Machines because they then contain no currency. | ||
E. | Certain Costs. Neither Client shall be liable for the cost of redelivery in the event of a Needs Redelivery or as a result of a Xxxxx Fargo Event of Default. | ||
F. | Early Termination Fee. In the event this Agreement is, for any reason other than a Xxxxx Fargo Default or because of Xxxxx Fargo’s election to terminate the Agreement before the Stated Termination Date when no Client Event of Default exists, terminated prior to the Stated Termination Date, Clients shall pay to Xxxxx Fargo a termination fee of [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] per month, commencing [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST] during the initial term of this Agreement, but in no event shall such fee be less than [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPERATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A CONFIDENTIALITY TREATMENT REQUEST]. | ||

Any Party may by summary proceedings bring an action in court to compel arbitration of a Dispute. Any Party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a lawful demand by any other Party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other Party in compelling arbitration of any Dispute. | ||
2. | Rules Governing Arbitration: Arbitration proceedings shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. All Disputes submitted to arbitration shall be resolved in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in this Agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted at a location in Texas selected by the AAA or other administrator. If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and any such rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. All statutes of limitation applicable to any Dispute shall apply to any arbitration proceeding. All discovery activities shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the Dispute being arbitrated. Judgment upon any award rendered in an arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by either Party which is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 USC § 91 or any similar applicable state law. | ||
3. | Arbitration; Provisional Remedies: Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no provision hereof shall limit the right of either Party to exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies, including, without limitation, injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment, garnishment, or the appointment of a receiver, from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of any such |
36
remedy shall not waive the right of either Party to compel arbitration hereunder. | |||
4. | Arbitrator Qualifications and Awards; Powers: All Arbitrators shall be selected in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitrators must (a) be active members of the State Bar of Texas with expertise in the substantive laws applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute, (b) not be affiliated with either of the Parties and (c) have at least five years experience in arbitrating sophisticated commercial contract disputes. Arbitrators are empowered to resolve Disputes by summary rulings in response to motions filed prior to the final arbitration hearing. Arbitrators (i) shall resolve all Disputes in accordance with the Governing Law, (ii) may grant any remedy or relief that a federal or state court of Texas could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award, and (iii) shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other actions as they deem necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Rules of Civil Procedure of the State of Texas, or other applicable law. Disputes less than $5,000,000 shall be decided by a single arbitrator mutually agreed by the Parties. If the Parties cannot mutually agree on a single arbitrator within five Business Days of initiation of arbitration, then the AAA shall select an arbitrator on behalf of the Parties. Disputes of $5,000,000 or more shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided, however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The panel of arbitrators will be comprised of three arbitrators, with one arbitrator selected by each of Xxxxx Fargo and Client and the third arbitrator selected by the two arbitrators chosen by the Parties. If an arbitrator is unable to serve, his or her replacement will be selected in the same manner as the arbitrator to be replaced. | ||
5. | Judicial Review of Awards: Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000,000, the arbitrators shall be required to make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of law. In such arbitrations (i) the arbitrators shall not have the power to make any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the parties unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and the conclusions of law are not erroneous under the Governing Law, and (iii) the parties shall have, in addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award, the right to judicial review of (a) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence, and (b) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under the Governing Law. Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only if a court determines the award is |
37
supported by substantial evidence and not based on legal error under the Governing Law. | |||
6. | Arbitration; Other Matters: To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or regulation, or to the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights set forth herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the subject matter of the Dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. |
I. | Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either Party to this Agreement shall be required to initiate legal or arbitration proceedings (a) to interpret or enforce performance of any term or condition of this Agreement, (b) to enjoin any action prohibited hereunder, or (c) to gain any other form of relief whatsoever, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover, to the extent permitted by law, in addition to any other damages or compensation received, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by it on account thereof notwithstanding the nature of the claim or cause of action asserted by the prevailing Party. “Attorneys’ fees” includes the reasonable expense to any corporation of the service of its in-house counsel. | ||
J. | Waiver. If a Party waives any of its rights on any one or more occasions it will not be deemed to be a waiver of that Party’s rights on any other occasion. No delay on the part of any Party hereto in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall preclude other or further exercise thereof, or be deemed to establish a custom or course of dealing or performance between the parties hereto, or preclude the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. | ||
K. | No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the parties to or parties indemnified under this Agreement, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained in this Agreement. | ||
L. | Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently and as often and in such order as the Party entitled to such right or remedy deems expedient and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which such Party would otherwise have whether by agreement or now or hereafter existing under applicable law. |
38
M. | Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. | ||
N. | Examinations and Audits. |
1. | Of Armored Carrier: Each Client shall take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure to the satisfaction of Xxxxx Fargo that each Armored Carrier shall allow Xxxxx Fargo, each Client, their respective designees, and any regulatory or supervisory body to which Xxxxx Fargo or its affiliates is subject (“Auditors”), access to its facilities that maintain inventories of the Cash, subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph. Such access shall be for the purpose of allowing the Auditors to perform a physical audit of the Cash, and shall be permitted on regular Business Days during the Armored Carrier’s regular business hours at any time without prior notice, but subject to the Armored Carrier’s regular security policies. The Auditors must present proper credentials to the manager of the Armored Carrier’s facilities prior to gaining admission. The Party on whose behalf the audit is to be conducted (which, in the case of an audit by any regulatory or supervisory body, shall be the party subject to the regulation or supervision of such body) shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and the Armored Carrier from any liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of any bodily injury, death, or damage to property sustained by an Auditor as a result of being on the Armored Carrier’s premises or entering or leaving therefrom, to the extent that such bodily injury, death, or damage to property does not arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Armored Carrier or any of its officers, agents, or employees. In addition, each Client (provided the audit is to be conducted by or on behalf of Xxxxx Fargo) and Armored Carrier shall furnish to the Auditors their respective records relating to the Cash and the performance of Customer’s obligations under this Agreement. Customer (provided the audit is to be conducted by or on behalf of Xxxxx Fargo) and Armored Carrier shall have the right to have an employee or agent present at all times during any examination or audit of their respective records. Armored Carrier shall have the right to have an employee present at all times during any audit conducted pursuant to this section. | ||
2. | Of Xxxxx Fargo: Xxxxx Fargo shall allow each Client or its designees (“Client’s Auditors”), reasonable access to Xxxxx Fargo’s records relating to the Cash and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement for the purpose of allowing the Client’s Auditors to perform a review of the services provided by Xxxxx Fargo under this Agreement. Such access shall be permitted on regular Business Days during Xxxxx Fargo’s regular |
39
business hours at times mutually agreed upon by Xxxxx Fargo and the Client’s Auditor. If Xxxxx Fargo elects to give Client’s Auditors access to its records on Xxxxx Fargo’s premises, the Client’s Auditors may be required to present proper credentials to the manager of such premises prior to gaining admission. Each Client shall indemnify and hold harmless Xxxxx Fargo from any liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of any bodily injury, death, or damage to property sustained by a Client’s Auditor as a result of gaining access to Xxxxx Fargo’s premises or entering or leaving therefrom, to the extent that such bodily injury, death, or damage to property does not arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of Xxxxx Fargo or any of its officers, agents, or employees. Xxxxx Fargo shall have the right to have an employee or agent present at all times during any examination or audit of its records. | |||
3. | Of Amounts in Covered Machines: Each calendar month, each Client shall certify in writing to Xxxxx Fargo, the total amount of Cash that is in all Covered Machines as of a given date selected by Xxxxx Fargo during the preceding calendar month. |
O. | Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date on which all conditions precedent contained Section XIII. have been satisfied or waived by Xxxxx Fargo and Xxxxx Fargo has received a copy of this Agreement that has been executed by Xxxxx Fargo and Clients. | ||
P. | No Third-Party Covered Machines. No Covered Machine is or will be owned by a person other than Client. | ||
X. | Xxxxx Fargo’s Records Presumed Correct. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, if at any time during the term of this Agreement there is a discrepancy between the records of Xxxxx Fargo and the records of Clients or any third party, the records of Xxxxx Fargo shall be rebuttably presumed to be correct. | ||
R. | Construction. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement was jointly drafted and the provisions herein shall not be construed against any Party. | ||
S. | Joint and Several Liability. The Clients are jointly and severably liable and each Client unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the other Client’s obligations, duties, and covenants hereunder. | ||
T. | Wholesaling Prohibited. The services provided under this Agreement to Clients are intended for the direct benefit of Clients and no other person. If at any time Xxxxx Fargo, in its sole determination, concludes that Cash supplied to a Covered Machine is in furtherance of a transaction in which the services provided by Xxxxx Fargo to Clients under this Agreement are being directly or indirectly resold to a |
40
third party, Xxxxx Fargo may immediately terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Covered Machine. | |||
U. | Patriot Act Notice; OFAC and Bank Secrecy Act. Xxxxx Fargo hereby notifies Clients that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Client, which information includes the name and address of such Client in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each Client will provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by Xxxxx Fargo in order to assist Xxxxx Fargo in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act. “Patriot Act” means the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001. In addition, each Client shall (a) ensure that no person, firm or entity who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls such Client or any subsidiary of such Client is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated National and Blocked Persons List or similar lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the Department of Treasury or included in any Executive Orders, (b) not use or permit to use any funds to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, the Bank Secrecy Act, the Money Laundering Act of 1986, or any other law or legal requirement relating to money laundering, all as amended from time to time, and (c) comply, and cause its subsidiaries to comply, with all such laws and other legal requirements. |

Attention: Chief Operating Officer
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association organized under the
laws of the United States (“Xxxxx Fargo”) has entered into, or intends to enter into, a
Contract Cash Solutions Agreement with Cardtronics, Inc. and Cardtronics, LP (collectively,
“Client”) (the “Contract Cash Solutions Agreement”) pursuant to which Xxxxx Fargo
shall provide U.S. currency and coins for the cash dispensement operations of the Vcom and/or ATM
machines owned, operated or managed by Client and listed on Exhibit A as the same may be
supplemented from time to time by joint written notice from Xxxxx Fargo and Client to Armored
Carrier (the “Covered Machines”). Client and Fiserv Solutions, Inc. (“Fiserv”) on
behalf of Client have also contracted with the above named addressee (“Armored Carrier”) to
perform certain currency and coin delivery and retrieval services with respect to the Covered
Machines pursuant to a separate agreement between Armored Carrier and Client (the “Armored
Carrier Agreement”). Client, Xxxxx Fargo, and Armored Carrier may be referred to herein as a
“Party” or “Parties” when referring to each of them.
1. | Definition. For purposes of this letter agreement, “Cash” shall mean the U.S. currency and coins provided by Xxxxx Fargo for the cash dispensing operations of the Covered Machines pursuant to the Contract Cash Solutions Agreement. |
2. | Ownership of Cash. Armored Carrier agrees that the Cash is the sole and exclusive property of Xxxxx Fargo and that Armored Carrier shall not at any time have any interest (including any security interest or right of setoff) in such Cash and shall not setoff against the Cash any claims it may now have or claims that may accrue to it in the future against Client, Xxxxx Fargo or any other person. Armored Carrier agrees that Xxxxx Fargo shall have all right, title, and interest in and to the Cash, regardless of physical location, and may treat the Cash as its asset until it is dispensed from the Covered Machines. Upon demand by Xxxxx Fargo, all Cash shall be surrendered by Armored Carrier to Xxxxx Fargo. At no time shall Armored Carrier assert or otherwise claim any interest in the Cash that would under any circumstances be contrary to Xxxxx Fargo’s treatment of the Cash as “vault cash” as defined in section 204.2(k) of Regulation D. |
3. | Commingling of Cash. Armored Carrier acknowledges that it will not at any time commingle the Cash with any other funds it is holding or transporting; provided, that the holding of Cash in an armored vehicle or vault with other funds shall not constitute |
commingling of the Cash with other funds so long as the Cash shall remain segregated and separately identified from such other funds at all times. |
4. | Armored Carrier Services. |
(a) | Redelivery of Cash. Notwithstanding any provision of any Armored Carrier Agreement to the contrary, Xxxxx Fargo may demand at any time, without prior notice or qualification, that all or any part of the Cash stored in the Covered Machines or otherwise in possession of Armored Carrier be delivered to Xxxxx Fargo on a same-day basis. In response to any such demand, Armored Carrier shall use its best efforts to deliver the Cash to Xxxxx Fargo as fast as is reasonably practicable. Unless otherwise agreed to in advance, such delivery shall be made at Xxxxx Fargo’s expense at such reasonable service charge as shall then be determined in good faith by Armored Carrier. Such Cash shall be returned to Xxxxx Fargo at the address that corresponds to each Covered Machine that is specified in Exhibit A. | ||
(b) | Cash Held by Armored Carrier. When Cash is held by Armored Carrier in the Armored Carrier’s vault, all such Cash shall be kept in separate inventory until such time as the Cash is required to be placed in a specific Covered Machine or until it is requested to be returned to Xxxxx Fargo pursuant to this letter. The Cash shall not be commingled with any other cash in the possession, custody or control of Armored Carrier. | ||
(c) | Cash Control. At no time shall Client be given access to the Cash held by Armored Carrier, nor shall Armored Carrier give Client access to the Cash held in any Covered Machine. | ||
(d) | Covered Machine Access. Except as may be necessary to perform the services under any Armored Carrier Agreement, including, but not limited to, loading and removing Cash to and from the Covered Machines or redelivery of Cash to Xxxxx Fargo provided for in this letter agreement, no employee of Armored Carrier shall have the authority to access the Cash stored in any Covered Machine. Armored Carrier shall not give access to the Cash stored in any of the Covered Machines to any third party without first obtaining the agreement of Xxxxx Fargo. Client’s maintenance providers may have access to the Covered Machines independent of Armored Carrier. |
5. | Cash Discrepancy. The amount set forth in the shipping document released by a Federal Reserve Bank in connection with the release by such Federal Reserve Bank to Armored Carrier of any sealed or locked bag shall be deemed the amount of the Cash received. In the event of any discrepancy between such shipping document and the contents of a sealed or locked cash bag received by Armored Carrier from a Federal Reserve Bank, Armored Carrier shall notify Client and Xxxxx Fargo in writing immediately of the discrepancy, and Armored Carrier shall provide reasonable assistance to Xxxxx Fargo in presenting difference claims to the Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Federal |
- 2 -
Reserve Bank regulations. With respect to any Cash made available to Armored Carrier from any one of the Cash Suppliers listed on Exhibit B (each a “Cash Supplier”) or a Xxxxx Fargo cash vault, the amount set forth on the packing slip for that Cash shipment shall be deemed the amount of Cash received. In the event of any Cash shipment discrepancy between such packing slip provided by a Cash Supplier and the contents as counted by Armored Carrier, Armored Carrier shall notify Client and Xxxxx Fargo in writing immediately of the discrepancy, and Armored Carrier shall provide reasonable assistance to Xxxxx Fargo in presenting difference claims. Xxxxx Fargo and Client each agree that they shall not conceal or misrepresent any material fact or circumstance concerning the Cash delivered to Armored Carrier pursuant to this letter agreement. | ||
6. | Reporting Requirement. Each Business Day, Armored Carrier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a report to Xxxxx Fargo by 2:00 p.m. local time, which shall contain: (i) the amount of Cash placed in each Covered Machine by Armored Carrier the immediately preceding Business Day, (ii) the amount of Cash returned to the Armored Carrier’s vault from the Covered Machines the immediately preceding Business Day, (iii) the total amount of all Cash shipments from Xxxxx Fargo’s vault to Armored Carrier’s vault the immediately proceeding Business Day, (iv) the total amount of all Cash shipments from Armored Carrier’s vault to Xxxxx Fargo the immediately proceeding Business Day, (v) the closing vault balance of Armored Carrier’s vault the immediately preceding Business Day, and (vi) such other additional information as Xxxxx Fargo may reasonably request. All reports delivered by Armored Carrier shall be completed by the reporting systems selected by Xxxxx Fargo. A “Business Day” shall mean any day other than Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. | |
7. | Recovery Plan. Armored Carrier agrees to comply with the terms of the Recovery Plan attached hereto as Exhibit C, as the same may be supplemented from time to time by joint written notice from Xxxxx Fargo and Client to Armored Carrier. | |
8. | Insurance. Armored Carrier, at its own expense, shall provide and maintain insurance coverage during the complete term of the Agreement, that conforms in all material respects with the following requirements: |

(e) | Arbitrator Qualifications and Awards; Powers. Arbitrators must be active members of the Bar in Texas or retired judges of the state or federal judiciary of Texas with expertise in the substantive laws applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute.

(f) | Judicial Review of Awards. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000,000, the arbitrators shall be required to make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of law. In such arbitrations (i) the arbitrators shall not have the power to make any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the Parties unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and the conclusions of law are not erroneous under the Governing Law, and (iii) the Parties shall have, in addition to the grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award, the right to judicial review of (a) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence, and (b) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under the Governing Law. Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only if a court determines the award is supported by substantial evidence and not based on legal error under the Governing Law. | ||
(g) | Arbitration; Other Matters. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the Parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other Party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a Party required in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or regulation, or to the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights set forth herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the Parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the subject matter of the Dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of this letter agreement. |

WHEREAS, the Cardtronics Entities have entered into an agreement with Xxxxx Fargo (the
“Contract Cash Solutions Agreement”) pursuant to which Xxxxx Fargo will provide Cash for
the Transferred Machines;
WHEREAS, heretofore, the 7-Eleven Entities and Xxxxx Fargo maintained a relationship similar
to that found in the Contract Cash Solutions Agreement pursuant to (i) a First Amended and Restated
Contract Cash Solutions Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2004, as amended, and (ii) a Balancing
and Processing Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2005 (collectively, the “7-Eleven
Agreements”);
WHEREAS, in connection with the consummation of the Purchase Agreement, responsibility for the
Cash in the Transferred Machines, In-Transit and in the Vaults at the Economic Effect Time will be
assumed by the Cardtronics Entities, and the Parties desire to true-up the Cash and to set forth
the responsibilities of the Parties with respect to Xxxxx Fargo’s Cash before and after the
Economic Effect Time and the terms of their agreements with respect thereto; and
WHEREAS, prior to the Economic Effect Time, the 7-Eleven Entities have responsibility for loss
of Cash in the Transferred Machines, In-Transit and in the Vaults.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1. True-up Procedures. (a) Xxxxx Fargo and the 7-Eleven Entities agree and
acknowledge that any Final Difference will be reconciled and paid as provided herein.
(b) The following reports are required under this Agreement:
(i) | At the beginning of the third Business Day after the Effective Date, a report from Xxxxx Fargo indicating the actual Cash balance in each Transferred Machine by terminal, In-Transit by Courier location and in Vaults-by-Vault, in each case as of the Economic Effect Time (the “Starting Cash Report”). | ||
(ii) | Two Business Days prior to the Effective Date, a schedule of the Estimated Cash Balance Amount from Xxxxx Fargo. | ||
(iii) | As and when required under the Contract Cash Solutions Agreement, the reports referred to therein as File 1, File 2, File 3 and File 4 reports from Cardtronics. | ||
(iv) | Until the initial reports are received from Cardtronics under clause (iii) above, the reports referred to in the 7-Eleven Agreements as File 1, File 2, File 3 and File 4 from 7-Eleven as and when provided for in such agreements. | ||
(v) | As soon as reasonably practicable, and as frequently as is reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other available information (including Vault balancing paperwork held by the Courier), if necessary, concerning Transferred Machine activity after the Economic Effect Time. |
The Parties will reasonably cooperate as is necessary to obtain the Reports.
(c) Two Business Days prior to the Effective Date, Xxxxx Fargo will provide a schedule of the
Estimated Cash Balance Amount to Cardtronics for pre-approval of the starting Cash balance with
respect to the Contract Cash Solutions Agreement.
(d) As soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of the Starting Cash Report (and in any
event by the third Business Day of delivery of the Starting Cash Report), 7-Eleven and Xxxxx Fargo
will identify and compare the Cash balance reported in the Starting Cash Report (the “Cash
Balance”) with the Estimated Cash Balance Amount. Without limiting the responsibilities and
obligations of the 7-Eleven Entities with respect to Cash (as defined in the 7-Eleven Agreements),
Xxxxx Fargo and 7-Eleven will work together in good faith to resolve any differences in the
Estimated Cash Balance Amount and the Cash Balance in the Starting Cash Report to arrive at the
Starting Cash amount to be used in the settlement of the 7-Eleven Agreements.
(e) The Cardtronics Entities will effect at least one Replenishment Cycle as soon as is
reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, and in any event within 60 days of the Effective
Date.
(f) Pursuant to the 7-Eleven Agreements, the 7-Eleven Entities bear the risk of loss of, and
are responsible for, the Cash through the Economic Effect Time notwithstanding any earlier
termination of such agreements. Using the Reports and other relevant information
- 2 -
available to it,
Xxxxx Fargo will deliver the Settlement Report to 7-Eleven within 90 days after the Effective Date.
Any Request from 7-Eleven must be received by Xxxxx Fargo within 15 days after receipt by 7-Eleven
of the Settlement Report. If, at any time during such 15-day period, 7-Eleven disputes any of the
information contained in the Settlement Report, 7-Eleven will notify Xxxxx Fargo in writing.
Thereafter, for a period of up to 30 days, 7-Eleven and Xxxxx Fargo will work in good faith to
resolve any such disputes. If all disputes cannot be resolved by the Parties during such 30-day
period, the Parties will resolve any remaining disputes using the dispute resolution process set
forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. If any disputes are raised in accordance with this
subsection (e), Xxxxx Fargo will deliver a Final Settlement Report within five days after all such
disputes have been resolved. If no disputes are raised, Xxxxx Fargo will deliver a Final
Settlement Report at the end of the 15-day Request/dispute period (or earlier if 7-Eleven has
notified Xxxxx Fargo prior to the end of the 15-day Request/dispute period that it has no Requests
or disputes, and that it accepts the Settlement Report as delivered). On the first Business Day
following the delivery of the Final Settlement Report by Xxxxx Fargo, 7-Eleven will wire transfer
any negative Final Difference to Xxxxx Fargo. Upon payment of the Final Difference, if any, all
obligations of 7-Eleven to Xxxxx Fargo, hereunder shall have been satisfied and 7-Eleven shall have
no further obligations or duties hereunder to Xxxxx Fargo.
(g) The Parties agree and acknowledge that, on or before the Effective Date, 7 Eleven, Xxxxx
Fargo and Cardtronics have jointly notified Fiserv, in writing the Economic Effect Time to assure
settlement is credited properly. To the extent Fiserv requires additional information, consents or

performed at a Transferred ATM. Xxxxx Fargo will research and reconcile Cardholder Adjustments and
other claims made pursuant to Reg. E for transactions performed at a Transferred Vcom, but 7-Eleven

subsection (c) below, responsibility for the research, reconcilement and payment, if applicable, of
all Reg. E Claims received after the Economic Effect Time are the responsibility of the Cardtronics

as a result of a Reg. E claim. Subsequent to the Final Settlement Report, the Reg. E Report will
be produced only twice, 120 days from the Effective Date, with the final report due 180 days from
the Effective Date. The Reg. E Report will indicate if the Cardholder Adjustment was related to a
misdispense that occurred before or after the first Replenishment Date. Upon receipt of the Reg. E
Reports, 7-Eleven will promptly pay Cardtronics for all Cardholder Adjustments made for
misdispenses prior to the first Replenishment Date.
(d) 7-Eleven will be responsible for any Shortages, and will get the benefit of any Overages,
through the first Replenishment Date, and the Cardtronics Entities will be responsible for any

7-Eleven Entities agree that 7-Eleven is responsible for Courier Claims through the first
Replenishment Date and Processor Claims and Courier Vault Claims through the Effective Date and
that the Cardtronics Entities are responsible for Courier Claims, Processor Claims and Courier
Vault Claims after the applicable aforementioned dates. Cardtronics will cause the Fiserv, Xxxxx,
or Pendum, as applicable, to continue to file and settle Courier Claims on behalf of 7-Eleven in
the same manner as such process is currently conducted for all such Courier Claims filed through
the Replenishment Date. Cardtronics will cause Fiserv and Xxxxx Fargo, as applicable, to assist in
researching and pursuing any existing claims described in this subsection. All Parties will
cooperate in good faith with the others to facilitate the research and resolution of all such
claims.
Section 3. Dispute Resolution.
The Parties agree to the following dispute resolution provisions:
(a) Mediation. Any disputes arising hereunder shall first be referred for resolution
to Xxxxx Fargo’s, Cardtronics’ and 7-Eleven’s respective senior management designee who shall
endeavor in good faith to resolve any such disputes within the limits of each such representative’s
authority and within 10 Business Days from the date it is referred to them. If the respective
senior management designees are unable to resolve such dispute within such ten day period, the
Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures set forth below.
(i) | The Parties shall endeavor to settle the dispute by mediation using JAMS Mediation in Houston, Texas. Within 10 Business Days from the date that the Parties cease direct negotiations pursuant to the negotiations above, the Parties will submit to each other a written list of qualified JAMS |
- 4 -
mediators not affiliated with either of the Parties and having at least five years experience in the field of banking and ATM cash supply. Within ten days from the date of receipt of such list, the Parties shall rank the mediators in numerical order of preference and exchange such rankings. If one or more names appear on both lists, the person whose name appears on both lists and who receives the highest combined ranking shall be chosen as the mediator. If such mediator is not available to serve, they shall proceed to contact the mediator who was next highest in ranking until they are able to select a mediator. | |||
(ii) | Each Party shall bear its own cost of mediation; provided, however, the cost charged by any independent third party mediator shall be borne equally by the Parties. | ||
(iii) | The Parties agree that any mediation proceeding will constitute settlement negotiations for purposes of the federal and state rules of evidence and will be treated as confidential and privileged communication by the Parties and the mediator. No stenographic, visual or audio record shall be made of any mediation proceedings. All conduct, statements, promises, offers and opinions made in the course of the mediation by any Party, its agents, employees, representatives or other invitees and by the mediator shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purposes in any litigation or other proceeding involving the Parties and shall not be disclosed to any third party. The Parties agree that the obligation to conduct the mediation procedure shall be obligatory upon each of them. In the event that either Party refuses to adhere to the mediation procedure set forth herein, the other Party may bring an action to seek enforcement of such obligation in any court of competent jurisdiction. The internal dispute escalation procedures and mediation procedures set forth herein shall not limit a Party’s rights to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief as permitted herein. | ||
(iv) | The Parties’ efforts to reach a settlement of any dispute will continue until the conclusion of the mediation proceeding. The mediation proceeding will be concluded when: (A) a written settlement agreement is executed by the Parties, or (B) the mediator concludes and informs the Parties in writing that further efforts to mediate the dispute would not be useful, or (C) the Parties agree in writing that an impasse has been reached. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may withdraw from the mediation proceeding in the event such proceeding continues for more than 20 days from the commencement of such proceeding. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the proceeding shall be deemed to have commenced following the completion of the selection of a mediator as provided above. If a Party withdraws or the mediation otherwise concludes as set forth above, either Party may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction. |
- 5 -
(b) Arbitration: Upon the demand of either Party and following the unsuccessful
attempts to resolve matters by dispute resolution as set forth above, any Dispute shall be resolved
by binding arbitration (except as set forth below in “Judicial Review of Awards”) in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. A “Dispute” means any action, dispute, claim, or
controversy arising under this Agreement that has not been resolved in accordance with
subsection (a) above. Any Party may by summary proceedings bring an action in court to compel
arbitration of a Dispute. Any Party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a
lawful demand by any other Party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other Party in
compelling arbitration of any Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party deems that
time is of the essence in resolving a dispute, it may initiate arbitration and seek interim
measures, if appropriate, and then comply with the requirements for negotiations and mediation as
long as they are fully completed before the commencement of the final hearing on the merits in the
arbitration proceeding.
(c) Rules Governing Arbitration: Arbitration proceedings shall be administered by the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or such other administrator as the Parties shall
mutually agree upon in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. All Disputes
submitted to arbitration shall be resolved in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9
of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in this
Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by three arbitrators, with each party to a Dispute
selecting one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators jointly selecting a third arbitrator. If the two
arbitrators cannot agree on a third arbitrator, the third arbitrator will be selected in accordance
with the AAA. The arbitration shall be conducted at a location in Texas selected by the AAA or
other administrator. All statutes of limitation applicable to any Dispute shall apply to any
arbitration proceeding. All discovery activities shall be expressly limited to matters directly
relevant to the Dispute being arbitrated. Judgment upon any award rendered in an arbitration may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
(d) Arbitration; Provisional Remedies: Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, no provision hereof shall limit the right of either Party to obtain provisional or
ancillary remedies, including, without limitation, injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment,
garnishment, or the appointment of a receiver, from a court of competent jurisdiction before,
after, or during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding; provided that neither Party
has the right to seek self-help remedies such as set-off. The exercise of any such remedy shall
not waive the right of either Party to compel arbitration hereunder.
(e) Arbitrator Qualifications and Awards; Powers: All Arbitrators shall be selected
in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitrators must be active members of the
State Bar of Texas. Arbitrators are empowered to resolve Disputes by summary rulings in response
to motions filed prior to the final arbitration hearing. Arbitrators (i) shall resolve all
Disputes in accordance with the Governing Law, (ii) may grant any remedy or relief that a federal
or state court of Texas could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as
is necessary to make effective any award, and (iii) shall have the power to award
recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other actions as they
deem necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
the Rules of Civil Procedure of the State of Texas, or other applicable law. Disputes shall be
- 6 -
decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided, however, that all three
arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations.
(f) Judicial Review of Awards: Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds $4,000,000, the arbitrators shall be
required to make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of law. In such arbitrations
(i) the arbitrators shall not have the power to make any award which is not supported by
substantial evidence or which is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the
Parties unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and the conclusions of
law are not erroneous under the Governing Law, and (iii) the Parties shall have, in addition to the
grounds referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award,
the right to judicial review of (x) whether the findings of fact rendered by the arbitrators are
supported by substantial evidence, and (y) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous under the
Governing Law. Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only if a court
determines the award is supported by substantial evidence and not based on legal error under the
Governing Law.
(g) Arbitration; Other Matters: To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the
arbitrators and the Parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding
within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an
arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for
disclosures of information by a party required by applicable law or regulation, or to the extent
necessary to exercise any judicial review rights set forth herein. If more than one agreement for
arbitration by or between the Parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the arbitration provision
most directly related to the subject matter of the Dispute shall control. This arbitration
provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 4. General Provisions.

Law”).
