Customer shall comply with the following minimum Device Replenishment and Cash Balancing Guidelines:
    1. Replenishment shall be conducted on a regularly scheduled basis such that adequate cash is available to provide the ATM service and any third party services in the normal course of business. Replenishment will be accomplished in accordance with acceptable minimum control standards adopted by the Customer and reasonably acceptable to Everi. Customer will perform settlement procedures; exchange cassettes, if necessary; print required administrative receipts; replenish consumable supplies, if necessary; and lock the ATM enabled ticket redemption, currency exchange, or similar devices and ATMs. The remaining currency will be removed, counted, balanced and verified in accordance with minimum control standards, which incorporate Everi’s settlement procedures for the ATM Service.
    2. Device replenishment operations include transporting currency to and from the ATM enabled devices on a regularly scheduled basis; replacing currency dispensed; replenishing all consumable supplies such as receipt paper; and performing designated housekeeping duties. From time to time, Customer may also be required to perform certain first line maintenance and second line maintenance on the ATM enabled devices.
    3. Customer shall establish cash replenishment and security procedures that are reasonably acceptable to Everi, but Everi shall not bear any liability with respect thereto or arising therefrom. Everi shall have the right to review Customer’s cash replenishment and security procedures prior to the provision of the ATM Service or at any time thereafter, and Customer shall modify such procedures to comply with Everi’s then current minimum required procedures, as reasonably requested by Everi.
    4. In the event of an investigation of any variances, upon Everi’s request, but not more frequently than once per banking day, Customer shall provide Everi with a balancing report detailing the amount of cash dispensed from each ATM enabled device pursuant to the ATM service, and the amount of overages or shortages discovered during the balancing process for each ATM enabled device.
    5. In the event of a cash imbalance, Customer shall, via overnight carrier, electronic file or facsimile within 24 hours of balancing; provide Everi with the ATM enabled device’s completed balance sheet form, transaction logs, administrative receipts, and any other relevant information regarding the cash imbalance to assist in the investigation. If necessary and allowed by the networks, Everi shall submit a request for adjustment to the appropriate network for each of the transactions that may have attributed to the cash imbalance. Adjustments will be made within 30 days under normal conditions and as allowed by the networks. Customer shall reimburse Everi for any fees, fines, penalties and direct expenses incurred as a result of cash imbalances that are attributed to Customer. Customer shall ensure all balancing information remains available to Everi upon request for a minimum of 180 days after the respective date of such balancing information documents.
    6. Customer shall be solely liable for any cash shortage due to any reasons other than those directly attributed to Everi.
  19. ADDITIONAL SERVICE. The Services described in this ATM Additional Terms and Conditions represent the entire scope of services to be provided by Everi under this Service Order. Any services not expressly set forth above, if requested, are subject to Everi’s discretion, and shall be charged at Everi’s then prevailing rates for such out of scope services.
