Vendor shall certify to FNB that it has conducted such searches on its Personnel prior to assigning such Personnel to provide services on FNB’s premises. FNB reserves the right to prohibit Personnel on its premises in its sole discretion which shall not be a breach of the agreement nor be deemed a delay due to FNB that would warrant a delay in the services provided by Vendor or an increase in fees. Vendor shall immediately notify FNB when it becomes aware that its Personnel is alleged to have committed a crime against persons or property or involving dishonesty. Such Personnel is prohibited from providing services on FNB’s premises until such matters are resolved and the charges are dismissed, or the Personnel is found not guilty.
