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
Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx 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.

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%.
