year terms, each a (“Renewal Term”), unless sooner terminated by either Party upon giving written notice to the other,
of not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then current initial or Renewal Term. (The Initial Term and any Renewal
Term(s) collectively shall be considered the “Term” hereof.)


 


6.2       
Termination for Cause.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to its participation in this Agreement
in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the other Party (the “breaching Party”) by the delivery of thirty
(30) days written notice describing such breach; provided, however, that if the breaching Party shall have cured the breach prior
to the expiration of the notice of termination, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the Party
giving notice as if no notice had been given.


 


6.3       
Termination for Nonpayment.  In the event Customer fails to pay all amounts due Elan in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement after a thirty (30) day period from the due date of such payment, then Elan shall notify Customer in writing that
Customer is in material breach of this Agreement.  Customer shall have ten (10) days from date of receipt of such written
notice to cure the non-payment.  If Customer fails to remit payment after the ten (10) day cure period, then Elan may terminate
this Agreement upon written notice to Customer.


 


6.4       
Termination upon Bankruptcy or Insolvency.  In the event Customer is declared insolvent and is liquidated, this Agreement
shall automatically terminate upon declaration of insolvency, and Elan shall be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to Section
6.7.  In the event Elan is declared insolvent and is liquidated, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon declaration
of insolvency.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Customer or Elan is declared insolvent but is not liquidated,
or is placed in receivership or conservatorship, or other similar actions are taken, the use of the services described herein by
any new owner, receiver, conservator, manager or other agent or representatives shall be deemed acceptance and assumption of this
Agreement on the full terms and conditions contained herein, including but not limited to Section 6.7.


 


6.5       
Termination by Reason of Regulation.  Elan may terminate this Agreement or curtail or restrict its operations hereunder
at any time upon notice to Customer, without liability, except for liabilities accrued prior to the termination, upon the issuance
of any order, rule or regulation or any regulatory agency or administrative body or the decision or order of any court of competent
jurisdiction that is controlling or binding on Elan prohibiting any or all of the services contemplated in this Agreement, or if
such order, rule or regulation restricts the provision of such services so as to make the continued provision thereof unprofitable
or undesirable, or will be unduly restrictive to the business of Elan or shall require burdensome capital contributions or expenditures.

6.6Termination for Lack of Member
Sponsorship. Elan may terminate this Agreement at any time upon notice to Customer, without liability, except for liabilities

this Agreement is terminated by Elan in accordance with Section 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 or 6.6, Customer shall pay to Elan liquidated damages
equal to the monthly minimum Processing Fee multiplied by the number of months remaining in the then applicable Term. In the event
that no monthly minimum Processing Fee is specified, then liquidated damages will be calculated using the monthly average for the
preceding twelve (12) months of processing activity pursuant to this Agreement. Customer hereby authorizes Elan to collect such
liquidated damages by electronic funds transfer from Customer's Clearing Account. Customer acknowledges that such amount represents
liquidated damages based on Elan’s long term resource commitments under this Agreement and such amount does not represent
a penalty to Customer. If the Agreement is terminated by Customer in accordance with Section 6.1 or 6.2, Customer shall have the
right to transfer Terminals to an alternative processor without liability to Elan.

related materials that have been acquired or developed by Elan through the expenditure of a great amount of time, effort and money. 
Customer acknowledges that the foregoing are trade secrets which are of great value to Elan, and disclosure to others of any of
the programs, procedures, forms and other related materials with respect to the Terminal Management System will result in loss
and irreparable damage to Elan.  Customer therefore agrees not to disclose to others any information regarding the Terminal

(i)In the event Elan
determines in its sole discretion that the results of any examination of Customer is unsatisfactory, Elan may terminate this Agreement.


 


(ii)If the Customer
fails to satisfy the requirements of Elan with regard to security of cardholder information, or if an examination reveals information
that would result in a continuing contractual relationship that causes Elan to be in violation of any law, Elan may terminate this
Agreement immediately without notice.

fails to satisfy the requirements of Elan with regard to matters not related to those discussed in Section 8.1(c)(i) or (ii), Elan

Both Parties acknowledge that in performing their obligations hereunder, they may have access to, or may provide information
and/or documentation of a Confidential and/or Proprietary nature to the other Party. “Confidential Information”
includes both information of a commercial nature and information related to a Party’s customers or consumers. Confidential
Information includes, but is not limited to, the following, whether now in existence or hereafter created:


 


(a)All information
marked as “confidential” or with similar designation; or information which a Party should, in the exercise of reasonable
judgment, recognize to be confidential;

financial or technical information of Elan or Customer and any of Elan’s or Customer’s vendors;

9.2Both Parties agree
now and at all times in the future that all such Confidential Information shall be held in strict confidence and disclosed only
to those employees or agents whose duties reasonably require access to such information. Elan and Customer shall protect such Confidential
Information using 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 Elan or Customer uses to protect its
own confidential information.


 


9.3Elan and Customer
agree that any violation of the obligations of confidentiality, as set forth in this Section, shall be a material breach of this
Agreement and shall entitle the non-breaching Party to immediately terminate this Agreement, without penalty, upon notice to the
other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Party or any of its employees, agents, or representatives
shall use or disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party in any manner other than in connection with the performance
of its obligations under this Agreement, the non-breaching Party shall have the right, in addition to such other remedies which
may be available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, to seek immediate injunctive relief enjoining such use, disclosure, or attempted
use or attempted disclosure, without the requirement of posting bond or the necessity of proving actual monetary damages, it being
acknowledged and agreed that legal remedies are inadequate to protect such non-breaching Party under such circumstances and that
the unavailability of immediate injunctive relief would subject said Party to irreparable harm.

and Customer shall establish data security policies and procedures to ensure compliance with this Section and that are designed
to:


 


(a)Ensure the security and
confidentiality of customer information;

unauthorized access to or uses of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer;


 


(d)Comply with
all of the requirements of Title V of the GLB Act, as the same may be amended from time to time, and any regulations promulgated
thereunder;


 


(e)Require each
Party to permit the other Party to audit its compliance with this Section 9.4 during regular business hours upon reasonable prior
notice and at the auditing Party’s sole expense. Each Party agrees to provide to the other Party copies of audits and system
test results related to the systems used to deliver Services under this Agreement, provided that the providing Party is not contractually
or otherwise legally prohibited from sharing such information with the other Party; and


 


(f)Comply with
the security requirements of any Network Organization and clearly indicate that Customer (i) understands that the Network Organizations
may fine or penalize Customer in the event of Customer’s noncompliance with any of their programs; (ii) agrees that Elan
is the owner and/or controller of all Customer Information, and all such information shall be considered Confidential Information
to be received and used only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; (iii) acknowledges that it has implemented a
plan for business continuity in the event of a major disruption, disaster or failure; (iv) agrees that, in the event of a security
intrusion, Customer will provide to the Network Organizations, or their designees, full cooperation and access to conduct a thorough
security review; and (v) agrees that upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer shall continue to protect the security
of the Customer Information.


 


9.5If either Party is required by a
court or governmental agency having proper jurisdiction to disclose any Confidential Information, that Party shall promptly, to
the extent allowed to do so by applicable law or regulation, provide notice of such request to the other Party so that the nondisclosing
Party may seek an appropriate protection order.

9.6Limited use of Confidential Information
and Survival of Obligations.


 


 


(a) Elan and Customer
may use the Confidential Information only as necessary for their performance hereunder and for no other use, but in all cases the
use of such Confidential Information will be done in accordance with the GLB Act and any regulations issued pursuant thereto. Elan’s
and Customer’s limited right to use the Confidential Information shall expire when this Agreement is terminated.

and Customer’s obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure shall survive beyond the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.

the other Party or, with the other Party’s permission, may destroy the Confidential Information. The Party returning or destroying
Confidential Information shall provide written certification to the other Party that it has returned, or destroyed, all such Confidential
Information in its possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Elan may retain one (1) copy of the Confidential Information for
compliance with its regulatory obligations.

If either Party’s performance requires or allows disclosure of the Confidential Information to any third parties, then that
Party shall ensure that such third parties will have express obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure, with regard to
the Confidential Information, similar to that Party’s obligations hereunder. Liability for damages due to disclosure of the
Confidential Information by any such third party shall be with the Party that disclosed the Confidential Information to the third
party.

the foregoing, the term “Confidential Information” shall not include any portion of such information that the
receiving Party can establish by clear and convincing evidence to have been:

breach of this Agreement; or


 


(b)Known by the
receiving Party without any obligation of confidentiality, prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information; or
