Currency supplied by Genpass. Only the Carrier shall have access to
the Currency during transport and only the Carrier may have access
to the Currency contained in the ATMs. Genpass and Carrier may
engage in a separate agreement for the provision of services to

Term”) unless any Party gives the other Parties written
notice of its intent to terminate at least sixty (60) days prior to
the end of the initial two year term or any Renewal Term. Provided,
however, that this Agreement shall terminate, without penalty to
any Party, upon the termination of the Genpass Processing Agreement
between Genpass and ATM Manager.
|
|
|

Any Party may
terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice to the
other Parties in the event of the occurrence of one of the
following:
|
|
|
|
One of the
other Parties (i) terminates or suspends its business, (ii) becomes

to terminate its involvement in the activities covered by the
Agreement by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a
regulatory agency which governs the activities of the Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Carrier’s merger or
consolidation with an affiliate, subsidiary or parent company,
shall not constitute an “acquisition” (pursuant to
subsection (v) hereinabove) which would allow a Party to give
written notice of termination.
|
|
|
|
At least one of
the other Parties materially defaults in the performance of any of
its duties or obligations hereunder, which default shall not be
substantially cured within thirty (30) days after notice is given
to the defaulting Party specifying the default, then any of the
Parties not in default may, by giving notice thereof to the
defaulting Party and all the other non-defaulting Parties,
terminate this Agreement for cause.
|
|
|
|
Genpass may
terminate the Agreement immediately and without prior notice upon
the occurrence of one of the following:
|
|
|
|
An audit
conducted by or on behalf of Genpass reveals that Carrier has
failed to segregate Genpass’s Currency.
|
|
|
|
An unauthorized
Party or third party accesses a vault or an ATM and obtains
Currency belonging to Genpass.
|
|
|
|
Upon
termination of this Agreement, ATM Manager shall immediately pay
all sums due and owing to Genpass and Carrier, including without
limitation, all Currency in the ATMs, which Currency shall be
returned to Genpass pursuant to Section X.F. In the event that
pursuant to such termination Genpass directs Carrier to remove the
Currency from the ATMs, and the ATM Manager or ATM Owner is
unwilling or unable to pay the service fees to Carrier for
Genpass’ request for the removal of the Currency, then
Genpass will pay the service fees to the Carrier for such removal
of Currency from the ATMs, and thereafter, at Genpass’
discretion, shall seek reimbursement of such service fees from ATM
Manager or ATM Owner.
|
|
|
|
ATM Manager can
terminate specific sites from this Agreement at its sole
discretion, understanding that ATM Manager or ATM Owner may incur
separate liabilities for the termination of such sites under any
other agreement, which is unrelated to this Agreement.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
any information
of or about Genpass’s consumer customers of any nature
whatsoever, and specifically including without limitation, the fact
that someone is a customer or prospective customer of Genpass, 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”);
|
|
|
|
all information
marked as "confidential" or similarly marked, or information that
the Recipient should, in the exercise of reasonable business
judgment, recognize as confidential;
|
|
|
|
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);
|
|
|
|
the
Owner’s marketing philosophy and objectives, promotions,
markets, materials, financial results, technological developments
and other similar proprietary information and materials;
|
|
|
|
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;
|
|
|
|
information
with respect to employees of Genpass which is non-public,
confidential, business related, or proprietary in nature,
including, without limitation, names of employees, the
employees’ positions within Genpass company, the fact that
they are employees of Genpass, 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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Because Genpass
is a federally-regulated financial institution that must comply
with the safeguards for Customer Information contained in the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and regulations
promulgated pursuant to GLBA, ATM Owner, ATM Manager and Carrier
must each establish appropriate measures designed to safeguard
Customer Information. Specifically, ATM Owner, ATM Manager and
Carrier must establish and maintain data security policies and
procedures designed to ensure the following:
|
|
|
(a)
|
security and
confidentiality of Customer Information;
|
|
|
(b)
|
protection
against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity
of Customer Information;
|
|
|
(c)
|
protection
against the unauthorized access or use of Customer
Information.
|
|
|
|
ATM Owner, ATM
Manager and Carrier must permit Genpass 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 Genpass 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
(1)
|
been publicly
known without breach of this Agreement;
|
|
|
(2)
|
been known by
Recipient without any obligation of confidentiality, prior to
disclosure of such Confidential Information; or
|
|
|
(3)
|
been received
in good faith from a third-party source that to Recipient’s
reasonable knowledge rightfully disclosed such information;
or
|
|
|
(4)
|
been developed
independently by Recipient without reference to the Owner’s
Confidential Information.
|
|
|
|
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 which likely affect the security of
another Party’s Confidential Information, (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.

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