No implied duties, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement against, or on the part of, the Custodian.

9.2

Instructions.

(a)

The Custodian shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action unless it has such instruction (in the form of Proper Instructions) from the Company as it reasonably deems necessary, and shall be entitled to require, upon notice to the Company, that Proper Instructions to it be in writing. The Custodian shall have no liability for any action (or forbearance from action) taken pursuant to the Proper Instruction of the Company.

(b)

Whenever the Custodian is entitled or required to receive or obtain any communications or information pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, it shall be entitled to receive the same in writing, in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and otherwise in accordance with any applicable terms of this Agreement; and whenever any report or other information is required to be produced or distributed by the Custodian it shall be in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and the Company, and otherwise in accordance with any applicable terms of this Agreement.

9.3 General Standards of Care. Notwithstanding any terms herein contained to the contrary, the acceptance by the Custodian of its appointment hereunder is expressly subject to the following terms, which shall govern and apply to each of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (whether or not so stated therein):

(a)

The Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction, statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it (including any of the foregoing provided to it by telecopier or electronic means), not only as to its due execution and validity, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which it in good faith believes to be genuine and signed or presented by the proper person (which in the case of any instruction from or on behalf of the Company shall be an Authorized Person); and the Custodian shall be entitled to presume the genuineness and due authority of any signature appearing thereon. The Custodian shall not be bound to make any independent investigation into the facts or matters stated in any such notice, instruction, statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document, provided, however, that if the form thereof is specifically prescribed by the terms of this Agreement, the Custodian shall examine the same to determine whether it substantially conforms on its face to such requirements hereof.

(b)

Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable to anyone for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted to be taken by it (or any of its directors, officers of employees), or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless such action constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part and in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action. The Custodian shall not be under any obligation at any time to ascertain whether the Company is in compliance with the 1940 Act, the regulations thereunder, or the Company’s investment objectives and policies then in effect.

(c)

In no event shall the Custodian be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages (including lost profits) whether or not it has been advised of the likelihood of such damages.

(d)

The Custodian may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel selected in good faith with respect to any question as to any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, or any matter relating hereto, and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Custodian in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

(e)

The Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact, claim or demand with respect hereto unless actually known by an officer working in its banking group and charged with responsibility for administering this Agreement or unless (and then only to the extent received) in writing by the Custodian at the applicable address(es) as set forth in Section 15 and specifically referencing this Agreement.

(f)

No provision of this Agreement shall require the Custodian to expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action (or forbear from action) hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless it shall be furnished with acceptable indemnification. Nothing herein shall obligate the Custodian to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the Company or on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder, or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

(g)

The permissive right of the Custodian to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as duty.

(b)

If the Company requires the Custodian, its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents, to advance cash for any purpose, or in the event that the Custodian or its nominee shall incur or be assessed any taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims or liabilities in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except such as may arise from its or its nominee’s own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, or if the Company fails to compensate the Custodian pursuant to Section 8 hereof, any cash at any time held for the account of the Company shall be security therefor and should the Company fail to repay the Custodian promptly, the Custodian shall be entitled to utilize available cash to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement.

(c)

The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Custodian advances cash under the Revolving Loan, the cash held in the Collateral Account (as defined in the Revolving Loan Agreement) shall be security therefor and should the Company fail to repay the Custodian in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Loan Agreement, the Custodian shall be entitled to utilize cash available in the Collateral Account to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement.

9.5 Force Majeure. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Custodian shall be without liability to the Company for any damage or loss resulting from or caused by events or circumstances beyond the Custodian’s reasonable control including (a) nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, the interruption, disruption or suspension of the normal procedures and practices of any securities market, power, mechanical, communications or other technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or the like, fires, floods, earthquakes or other natural disasters, civil and military disturbance, acts of war or terrorism, riots, revolution, acts of God, work stoppages, strikes, national disasters of any kind, or other similar events or acts; (b) errors by the Company (including any Authorized Person) in its instructions to the Custodian; or (c) changes in applicable law, regulation or orders.

You also agree to pay any additional reasonable charges we may impose for services you request which are not contemplated by this Agreement but are disclosed in our Fee Schedule(s) which may be amended from time to time. Each of you agrees to be jointly and severally liable for any Account deficit resulting from charges or overdrafts, whether caused by you or another authorized to withdraw from your Account, together with the costs we incur to collect the deficit, including, to the extent permitted by law, our reasonable attorneys' fees.

You agree to use the Account only for lawful purposes. You agree that you will not use the Account for any unlawful or illegal purposes. This includes transactions on the Internet that involve unlawful gambling of any sort Such transactions include, but are not limited to, online gambling, and any betting transaction including the unlawful purchase of lottery tickets, casino chips, or off-track betting and wagering. We reserve the right to block all such transactions. However, in the event that a charge or transaction described in this disclosure is approved and processed, you will still be liable for the charge.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When you open an Account, we will ask for your name, legal address, date of birth, social security or tax identification number, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or any other identifying documents.

INTEREST BEARING CHECKING ACCOUNTS

Interest bearing Checking Accounts may be opened and maintained only by individuals and certain eligible associations and business entities, such as non-profit corporations, associations, and sole proprietors. We may close your Checking Account or convert it to a non-interest bearing Checking Account if you are not an eligible association or business entity.

AUTHORIZED SIGNERS

You agree to give us certified copies of resolutions from your board of directors or other governing body, if any, or other certificate or evidence of authority satisfactory to us which specifically authorizes certain persons to take certain actions with respect to any of your Accounts, including, without limitation, signing, accepting, or endorsing checks, notes, bills, drafts, or other instruments drawn or deposited to your Accounts, or otherwise transferring funds to or from your Accounts ("Authorized Signers"). Such resolutions or other certificates of evidence of authority must set forth the name and title of each Authorized Signer, and must be in a form and substance satisfactory to us. Until properly notified in writing of any change in such authorization and we have had a reasonable period of time to act upon such notice, we may pay, apply, or otherwise honor and charge your Account, without inquiry, without limit as to amount, and without regard to the application of the proceeds thereof (even if drawn or endorsed to the order of any Authorized Signer or other person signing the same, and/or tendered by such person for cashing, in payment of the individual obligation of such person, and/or for deposit to such person's personal account), for all instruments or orders for payment or transfer of money for whatever purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby waive demand, presentment protest, notice of protest or dishonor, and all other notices relating to any instrument made, drawn, or endorsed in your name, when such instrument is signed, accepted or endorsed by an Authorized Signer. You must notify us immediately and in writing of any change in the status of any Authorized Signers. We may ask you to give us additional documentation. No action taken by us before we receive proper notification in writing of any such change shall be affected by any such notice. You agree to send any such written notice to the Store where you opened your Account.

NO TWO-SIGNER ACCOUNTS

We do not offer accounts on which two or more signatures are required for a check or other withdrawal. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary on any signature card or other agreement you have with us, you agree that if any Account purports to require two or more signers on items drawn on or withdrawals from the Account, such provision is solely for your internal control purposes and is not binding on us. If more than one person is authorized to write checks or draw items on your Account, you agree that we can honor checks signed by any Authorized Signer, even if there are two or more lines on the items for your signature and two signatures are required.

JOINT ACCOUNTS

Each of You Can Control the Account. If more than one of you opens an Account and signs a signature card or other documentation as an owner of the Account (other than persons signing as Authorized Signers for the same principal), the Account will be a joint Account. All of you are considered "joint tenants" of your Account, This means that each of you can control your Account as if you were the only Account owner, including the right to withdraw all the funds and close your Account.

Joint and Several Liability. Your liability as an owner of a joint Account is joint and several. This means that we can enforce this Agreement against any one of you, some of you, or all of you. This also means that we can look for repayment of any amount owed us as a result of any withdrawal, transfer or any other transaction made in connection with your joint Account from any one of you, some of you, or all of you.

Signatures and Endorsements. Each of you, as an owner of a joint Account, guarantees that the signatures of (i) all other Account owners, and/or (ii) the Authorized Signers for the other Account owners are genuine. Each of you agrees to give us any missing endorsement(s) of any other Account owner(s) or the Authorized Signer(s) for the other Account owner(s) when we ask you.

Deposits to Your Account. All deposits to your joint Account will become the property of each of you. Each of you agrees that we may credit to the joint Account any check or other item that is payable to the order of any one or more of you, even if the check or other item is endorsed by less than all or by none of you. When this credit is final, it will be considered by you and by us to be full payment of the check or other item to each Account owner named as payee.

Withdrawals from Your Account. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we will pay checks and other items drawn, and honor withdrawal requests made, by any of you. We may also follow instructions about your Account from any one of you. We may do any of these things without liability to the other Account owners. We may be required by service of legal process to hold or remit funds held in a joint Account to satisfy an attachment or judgment entered against, or other valid debt incurred by, any owner of the Account

Right of Survivorship. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, if an Account owner is a natural person and dies, or is an entity and ceases to exist, (i) the Account will belong to each surviving Account owner, and (ii) we may pay checks and honor withdrawal requests from any surviving Account owner.

You May Ask Us to Restrict Your Account. If any one of you does not want us to pay checks or otherwise release funds from your Account, we may ask that Account owner to give us documentation before we comply with that request We may ask all joint Account owners to give us a written authorization before we resume paying checks or releasing funds from your Account.

IOLTA, IOTA AND IOLA ACCOUNTS

Interest earned on IOLTA, IOTA and IOLA Accounts (or similar lawyer trust accounts) is directed to the designated IOLTA, IOTA or IOLA Committee or bar foundation, as applicable. If you establish one of these types of Accounts, you agree to comply with all of the applicable laws for such Accounts.

IOREBTA ACCOUNTS

Interest earned on IOREBTA Accounts (or similar realtor trust accounts) is directed to the Realtors Affordable Housing Fund, as applicable, to support grants to provide housing to under-privileged individuals and families. The interest from this Account will aid housing and shelter programs within a particular jurisdiction. If you establish these types of Accounts, you agree to comply with all of the applicable laws for such Accounts.

DEPOSIT POLICY

We will usually give you provisional credit for items deposited into your Account. However, we may delay or refuse to give you provisional credit if we believe in our discretion that your item will not be paid. We will reverse any provisional credit we have given for an item deposited into your Account if we do not receive final credit for that item and charge you a fee (see Fee Schedule). If the reversal of a provisional credit creates an overdraft in your Account, you will owe us the amount of the overdraft, plus any overdraft fees (see Fee Schedule). We will determine when final credit is received for any item. Please read the Funds Availability Policy for a detailed discussion of how and when we make funds available to you.

We will accept certain items like foreign checks and bond coupons for collection only. You may also ask us to accept certain other items for collection only. You will not receive credit for (provisional or otherwise), and may not withdraw funds against, any of these items until we receive final credit from the person responsible for paying them. Items sent for collection will be credited to your Account in U.S. dollars, with the amount of U.S. dollars credited calculated using our applicable exchange rate that is in effect on the date when we credit the funds to your Account and not when the deposit is made. The Funds Availability Policy does not apply to items we have accepted for collection only. If and when we receive final credit for an item we have accepted for collection only, you agree that we may subtract our collection fee (see Fee Schedule) from the amount finally credited to us, before we credit your Account for the remaining amount.

RETURNED CHECKS/WAIVER OF RIGHTS

If you deposit a check or item in your Account that the drawee bank returns unpaid for any reason (called "dishonor"), we may put the check or item through for collection again. This means that you are waiving your right to receive immediate notice of dishonor. If the check or item is dishonored for any reason, the amount of the dishonored check or item will be deducted from your Account. You agree to pay the Bank a fee for any such check or item that is dishonored (see Fee Schedule). The Bank may also collect any amounts due to the Bank because of returned checks, through the right of set-off, from any other of your Accounts at the Bank, or collect the funds directly from you.

CASHING OF CHECKS

Typically, the Bank will cash checks drawn on other banks for its customers who have adequate available funds in their Account(s). If any such check should be returned by the paying bank for any reason, the Bank will charge you a fee (see Fee Schedule). In addition, the Bank will debit the amount of the returned check from your Account(s). If the debit creates an overdraft in your Account, you will owe us the amount of the overdraft plus any overdraft fees (see Fee Schedule).

WITHDRAWAL POLICY

Business Passbook Account (if available in your jurisdiction) withdrawals can be made by an authorized signer only upon presentation of the passbook either in person or accompanied by a written order of withdrawal. If you lose the passbook, we require that a Lost Passbook Affidavit be signed by ALL persons named on the Account before a notary public Statement Savings Account withdrawals can be made per written order of withdrawal in accordance with the information contained on the signature card, corporate resolution or other relevant document accepted by the Bank, and may also be made with an ATM or Visa^® Debit Card, as applicable. The Bank may refuse a request if any document or identification required by the Bank or law in connection with the withdrawal has not been presented.

The Bank reserves the right to require seven (7) Calendar Days written notice prior to withdrawal or transfer of funds from all Savings or Money Market Accounts offered by the Bank.

For any Statement Savings Account(s) (including Money Market Accounts), you may make as many in-person withdrawals at a teller window or any ATM as you wish. However, federal regulations permit the depositor to make no more than a combined total of six (6) pre-authorized, automatic, electronic (including computer initiated), telephone withdrawals or transfers, or by check, draft, debit card, or similar order payable to third parties in any statement cycle. Repeated violations will result in the Account being closed or changed from a savings type Account to a transaction Account.

DEMAND DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS AND SUB-ACCOUNTS

All Checking Accounts consist of two separate sub-accounts: a transaction sub-account and a non-transaction sub-account Whenever your transaction sub-account balance exceeds a certain level (which we may set and change at our discretion without notice to you), funds above that level may be transferred from the transaction sub-account to the non-transaction sub-account at the Bank's discretion, as often as once each day. All of your Checking Account transactions are posted to the transaction sub-account. Balances transferred to the non-transaction sub-account are transferred back to the transaction sub-account to meet these transactional needs, so there is no adverse impact on the availability of the balances held in your Checking Account. In accordance with federal limitations, no more than six (6) transfers from the non-transaction sub-account can occur during any statement cycle. Therefore, if a sixth transfer is needed, we will return all balances to the transaction sub-account for the remainder of the statement cycle.

These sub-accounts are treated as a single Checking Account for purposes of deposits and withdrawals, access and information, statement reporting, and any fees or charges. There are no separate or additional balance requirements, fees, or charges associated with the creation of these sub-accounts. If your Checking Account is a non-interest bearing Account, neither the transaction sub-account nor the non-transaction sub-account receives any interest. If your Checking Account is an interest-bearing Checking Account, both the transaction sub-account and the non-transaction sub-account receive the same interest rate at all times, and your periodic statement will reflect a single blended Annual Percentage Yield ("APY") and APY Earned.

In accordance with federal regulations, we reserve the right to require seven (7) Calendar Days' advance notice of withdrawals from interest-bearing transaction sub-accounts and all non-transaction sub-accounts. While the Bank is required to reserve this right the Bank does not presently exercise this right.

STOP PAYMENTS

At your request and risk, the Bank will accept a stop payment request for a check drawn on your Account for a fee (see Fee Schedule). To be effective, a stop payment request must be received in such timely manner so as to give the Bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it, and must precisely identify the Account number, check number, date and amount of the item, and the payee.

Your stop payment request will be effective after the request has been received by the Bank and the Bank has had a reasonable opportunity to act on it. Regardless of whether your stop payment request has been made orally or in writing, it will remain in effect for one (1) year from the date it was given. If your stop payment request has been made orally, the Bank will send you a written confirmation. If your stop payment request is made in writing, you must use a form that is supplied by the Bank; this form will constitute written confirmation of your request. In either case, it is your responsibility to ensure that all of the information applied on your written confirmation is correct and to promptly inform the Bank of any inaccuracies.

To maintain the validity of the stop payment request for more than one (1) year, you must furnish a new stop payment request that is confirmed in writing as described in the preceding paragraph before the expiration of the one (1) year period. If a new stop payment request is not received, the check may be paid.

We are not liable for failing to stop payment if you have not given us sufficient information or if your stop payment request comes too late for us to act on it We are entitled to a reasonable period of time after we receive your stop payment request to notify our employees and take other action needed to stop payment.

You agree that "reasonable time" depends on the circumstances, but that we will have acted within a reasonable amount of time if we make your stop payment request effective by the end of the next Business Day following the Business Day on which we receive your stop payment request. If we stop payment, you agree to defend and pay any claims raised against us as a result of our refusal to pay the check or other item on which you stopped payment.

If we recredit your Account after we have paid a check or other item over a valid and timely stop order, you agree to sign a statement describing the dispute you have with the person to whom the check or item was made payable. You also agree to transfer to us all of your rights against the payee and any other holder, endorser or prior transferee of the check or item and to cooperate with us in any legal action taken to collect against the other person(s). If we are liable for inadvertently paying your check over a stop payment order, you must establish the amount of your loss caused by our payment of the check. We will pay you only the amount of the loss, up to the face amount of the check. You agree that we shall not be liable for any punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

The Bank has no duty to stop payment on a cashier's check, teller's check or other similar item because items of this type are not drawn on your Account. The Bank may, in its sole discretion, attempt to stop payment on a cashier's check, teller's check or other similar item if you certify to our satisfaction that the item has been lost, stolen or destroyed. You must also furnish any other documents or information we may require, which may include your affidavit attesting to the facts and your indemnification of the Bank. Even if the Bank agrees to attempt to stop payment on a cashier's check, teller's check or other similar item, if the item is presented for payment, the Bank may pay it and you will be liable to us for that item, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

INTERNATIONAL ACH TRANSACTIONS

If your Account receives incoming ACH transactions (either credits or debits) or wire transfers initiated from outside of the United States, both you and we are subject to the Operating Rules and Guidelines of the National Automated Clearing House Association ("NACHA") or the rules of any wire transfer system involved, and the laws enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"). Under such rules and laws, we may temporarily suspend processing of a transaction for greater scrutiny or verification against the OFAC list of blocked parties, which may result in delayed settlement, posting and/or availability of funds. If we determine there is a violation, or if we cannot satisfactorily resolve a suspected or potential violation, the subject funds will be blocked as required by law. If you believe you have adequate grounds to seek the return of any blocked funds, it is your sole responsibility to pursue the matter with the appropriate governmental authorities. Please see the OFAC website for procedures and form required to seek a release of blocked funds.

CREDIT VERIFICATION AND OBTAINING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

You agree that we may verify credit information about you, as well as credit and employment history about any individual (such as your principals, owners or guarantors) who is liable for your obligations under this Agreement, through third parties, including but not limited to consumer reporting agencies, or verify any of your or their previous banking relationships for any Accounts you have with the Bank now or in the future. By signing the signature card for your Account, or other written authorization, each such individual authorizes the Bank to obtain such credit and employment information about him or her.

CERTIFIED TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ("TIN")

Federal law requires you to provide to the Bank a valid and certified Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN"). We may be required by federal or state law to withhold a portion of the interest credited to your Account in the following circumstances:

you do not give us a correct TIN;

the IRS tells us that you gave us an incorrect TIN;

the IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you have under-reported your interest or other income;

you fail to certify to us that you are not subject to backup withholding;

you do not certify your TIN to us; or

there may be other reasons why we may be required to do so under applicable law.

If we do this, the amount we withhold will be reported to you and the IRS and applied by the IRS to the payment of any federal income tax you may owe for that year.

ACCOUNT STATEMENTS; LIMITATION ON TIME TO REPORT FORGERIES AND ERRORS

If your Account is not a Passbook or CD Account, the Bank will provide you with a periodic statement Unless you tell us of a change of address, we will continue to mail statements or any other notices to your address as it appears on our records, and you will be considered to have received those statements and any other notices sent to you at that address. We do not have to send you a statement or notice if (i) you do not claim your statement (ii) we cannot deliver your statement or notice because of your instructions or your failure to tell us that you have changed your address, or (iii) we determine that your Account has been inactive for a reasonable period of time.

You should review your statements and balance your Account promptly after you receive them or, if we are holding them for you, promptly after we make them available to you. If you don't receive an Account statement by the date when you usually receive it, call us at once. You must review your statements to make sure that there are no errors in the Account information.

On Accounts with check-writing privileges, you must review your statement and imaged copies of paid checks, if any, we send you and report forgeries, alterations, missing signatures, amounts differing from your records, or other information that might lead you to conclude that the check was forged or that, when we paid the check, the proper amount was not paid to the proper person. You have this duty even if we do not return checks to you or we return only an image of the check. You should notify us as soon as possible if you think there is a problem.

Applicable law and this Agreement require you to discover and report any error in payment of a check within specified time periods. You agree that statements and any images of paid checks accompanying the statement shall be deemed to be "available" to you as of the statement mailing date. If we are holding your Account statements for you at your request, the statements become "available" on the day they are available for you to pick up. This means for example, that the period in which you must report any problem with an Account begins on the day we make the statement available, even if you do not pick up the statement until later.

If you assert against us a claim that an item was not properly payable because, for example, the item was forged, you must cooperate with us and assist us in seeking criminal and civil penalties against the person responsible. You must file reports and complaints with the appropriate law enforcement authorities. If we ask, you also must give us a statement, under oath, about the facts and circumstances relating to your claim. If you fail or refuse to do these things, we will consider that you have ratified the defect in the item and agree that we may charge the full amount of the item to your Account.

You must notify us as soon as possible if you believe there is an error, forgery or other problem with the information shown on your Account statement. You agree that fourteen (14) Calendar Days after we mailed a statement (or otherwise made it available to you) is a reasonable amount of time for you to review your Account statement and report any errors, forgeries or other problems. In addition, you agree not to assert a claim against us concerning any error, forgery or other problem relating to a matter shown on an Account statement unless you notified us of the error, forgery or other problem within thirty (30) Calendar Days after we mailed you the statement (or otherwise made it available to you). This means, for example, that you cannot bring a lawsuit against us, even if we are at fault, for paying checks bearing a forgery of your signature unless you reported the forgery within thirty (30) Calendar Days after we mailed you the statement (or otherwise made it available to you) listing the check we paid.

We may destroy original checks not less than thirty (30) Calendar Days after the statement mailing date. We will retain copies of the front and back of the checks on microfilm or other media for a period of seven (7) years. During that period, we will provide you an imaged copy of any paid check on request, but we need not do so thereafter. You agree not to make any claim against us arising out of the authorized destruction of your original checks or the clarity or legibility of any copy we provide.

CHECKS

All negotiable paper (called "checks") presented for payment must be in a form supplied by or previously approved by the Bank. The Bank may refuse to accept any check that does not meet this requirement or which is incompletely or defectively drawn. Once an outstanding check is six (6) months old, we may elect not to pay it. But if there is no stop payment order on file when we receive the check for payment, we may elect to pay it in good faith without consulting you.

You agree that you will use care in safeguarding your unsigned checks against loss or theft. You will tell us immediately if any checks are missing. You agree to assume all losses that could have been prevented if you had safeguarded unsigned checks, or had told us they were missing.

OVERDRAFTS

An overdraft is an advance of funds greater than the amount that has become available in accordance with the Bank's Funds Availability Policy, made by us to you, at our sole discretion. Overdrafts include advances to cover a check, in-person withdrawal, ATM withdrawal, or a withdrawal by other electronic means from your Account. We may demand immediate repayment of any overdraft and charge you an overdraft fee (see Fee Schedule).

You agree to pay us, when we ask you, all of our costs of collecting an overdraft to the fullest extent permitted by law. These costs include, but are not limited to, our legal fees and expenses. If more than one of you owns an Account each of you will be responsible for paying us the entire amount of all overdrafts and obligations resulting from the overdrafts.

We do not have to allow you to make an overdraft. Intentionally withdrawing funds from an Account when there are not enough funds in the Account to cover the withdrawal or when the funds are not yet available for withdrawal may be a crime.

SUSTAINED FEE FOR OVERDRAWN ACCOUNTS

We may charge you a fee, as disclosed in the Fee Schedule, for any Checking Account that remains in overdrawn status for ten (10) consecutive Business Days. We will notify you if your Checking Account is in overdrawn status. If your Checking Account is in overdrawn status because of an overdraft, check returned for insufficient funds or for any other reason and the Account remains in overdrawn status for ten (10) consecutive Business Days, we may charge the fee. If you have overdraft protection and you have exceeded your limit and the Checking Account remains in overdrawn status for ten (10) consecutive Business Days, we may charge the fee.

If the Checking Account remains in overdrawn status for sixty (60) Calendar Days, or such earlier time that we determine that the overdraft balance is uncollectible, the Bank will close and place the Checking Account in collection status.

PAYMENT OF CHECKS AND ITEM PROCESSING ORDERS

We may accept, pay, or charge to the appropriate Account checks and other items in any order we choose. An "item" includes a check, substitute check, purported substitute check, electronic item or transaction, draft, demand draft, remotely created item, image replacement document, indemnified copy, ATM withdrawal or transfer, point-of-sale transaction, pre-authorized payment, automatic transfer, telephone-initiated transfer, ACH transactions, online banking transfer or bill payment instruction, withdrawal slip, in-person transfer or withdrawal, cash ticket, deposit adjustment, any other instruction or order for the payment, transfer or withdrawal of funds and an image or photocopy of any of the foregoing.

We may establish different processing orders for checks and other items. We may establish categories for checks and other items. We may establish a processing priority for each category. For example, we may treat ATM withdrawals and loan payments as one category and checks as another category and then process ATM withdrawals and loan payments before checks. Within each category, we may process checks and other items in any order we choose. Methods available to the Bank for processing checks and other items for payment include, but are not limited to, by dollar amount from highest to lowest, by number or by date. We may in our sole discretion change our priorities, categories, or orders at any time without notice to you. Even if we provisionally post checks and other items to your Account during any Business Day, we may treat them as if we received all of them at the end of that Business Day and process them in any order we choose.

When you use a debit card, Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card, or other electronic means to make deposits or withdrawals, we may receive notice of the transaction before it is actually presented to us for payment, collection, or deposit. That notice may be in the form of a merchant authorization request or other electronic inquiry. Upon receipt of such notice, we may treat the transaction as pending at the time we receive notice. We may consider such pending transactions for the purpose of determining the amount of funds in your account to be used to pay other items presented against your account. We may conclusively rely on that notice even if the notice incorrectly describes the transaction. If the transaction is not settled within our established time period after reviewing the notice (3 Business Days), we will release the pending transaction.

When you do not have enough funds in your account to cover ail of the checks and other items presented that Business Day, some processing orders may result in more insufficient funds items and more fees than others. We may choose our processing orders in our sole discretion and without notice to you, regardless of whether additional fees may result.

We may refuse, in our discretion, to pay a check or other item which:

is illegible;

is drawn in an amount greater than the amount of funds then available for withdrawal in your Account (see the Funds Availability Policy) or which would, if paid, create an overdraft;

bears a duplicate check number;

we believe has been altered;

we believe is otherwise not properly payable, or;

we believe does not bear an authorized signature.

We are not required to honor any restrictive legend on checks you write unless we have agreed in writing to the restriction. Examples of restrictive legends are "Not Valid For More Than $1,000," "Void If Not Negotiated Within 30 Days of Issuance," and the like.

POSTDATED ITEMS

You agree that when you write a check you will not date the check in the future. If you do and the check is presented for payment before the date of the check, we may either pay it or return it unpaid. You agree that if we pay the check, the check will be posted to your Account on the day we pay the check. You further agree that we are not responsible for any loss to you in doing so.

PRE-AUTHORIZED DRAFTS

If you voluntarily give information about your Account (such as our routing number and your Account number) to a party who is seeking to sell you goods or services, and you do not physically deliver a check to the party, any debit to your Account initiated by the party to whom you gave the information is deemed authorized by you.

POWER OF ATTORNEY

We may, in our sole discretion (unless we are required by law to recognize a statutory form of power of attorney), recognize the authority of a person to whom you have given a power of attorney to enter into transactions relating to your Account, until and unless we receive written notice or we have actual notice of the revocation of such power of attorney. However, you must show us an original copy or certified copy of the power of attorney, properly notarized, and any other documentation we may ask for from time to time. The power of attorney and all other documents must be in a form satisfactory to the Bank. We will not be liable for damages or penalty by reason of any payment made to or at the direction of a person holding a power of attorney.

ADVERSE CLAIMS; INTERPLEADER; LEGAL PROCESS

We need not honor any claim against or involving an Account unless we are required to do so by order of a court or government agency that has jurisdiction over us, or pursuant to applicable law. This rule applies to any person asserting any rights or interest regarding an Account, including you and other persons who are authorized to make withdrawals or write checks or who present a power of attorney signed by you.

If we receive notice of any claim or dispute or of any legal proceeding we reasonably believe involves you or any of your Accounts, in our discretion we may suspend transactions on any Account which we believe to be affected until final determination of the claim or proceeding. We may place a hold on any funds in the Account and suspend transactions whether the affected Account is in your name alone or is a joint Account. An Account may be suspended even though the suspension may have been due to inadvertence, error because of similarity of the names of depositors, or other mistake.

You agree that we may comply with any state or federal legal process, including, without limitation, any writ of attachment, adverse claim, execution, garnishment, tax levy, restraining order, subpoena or warrant relating to you or your Account which we believe to be valid, without any liability from us to you. You agree that if we are served with legal process at any of our Stores or offices, we may comply with it, even if it is served at a location other than where your Account was opened. Further, you agree that we may comply with such process as we deem appropriate under the circumstances even if the legal process or document appears to affect the interest of only one owner of a joint Account. In such case, we may refuse to permit withdrawals or transfers from your Account until such legal process is satisfied or dismissed even if such action results in insufficient funds to pay a check you have written or otherwise satisfy an obligation you may have incurred.

You agree that we are entitled to a processing fee, for which you are liable to us, upon receipt of any legal process. We may deduct such fee, as well as any expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees, in connection with any such document or legal process, from your Account or any other Account you may have with us without prior notice to you, or we may bill you directly for such expenses and fees. Any garnishment, attachment or other levy against your Account shall be subject to our right of set-off and security interest.

You agree that we will not pay and you shall not be entitled to receive interest on any funds we hold or set aside in connection with or in response to legal process. Finally, you agree that we may accept and comply with legal process, irrespective of how and/or where it was received even if the law requires any particular method of service.

You agree to indemnify us against all losses, costs, attorneys' fees, and any other liabilities that we incur by reason of responding to or initiating any legal action, including any interpleader action we commence involving you or your Account. As part of that indemnity, in the event we incur liability to a creditor of yours as a result of our response or failure to respond to a legal action, you agree to pay us on demand the amount of our liability to your creditor and to reimburse us for any expense, attorneys' fees, or other costs we may incur in collecting the amount from you.

We may, in our sole discretion and without any liability to you, initiate an action in interpleader to determine the rights of the persons making adverse claims to your Account. We may exercise this right regardless of whether the persons making the adverse claims have complied with all statutory requirements pertaining to adverse claims, such as posting a bond or giving other surety. Upon initiation of an interpleader action, we will be relieved and discharged of all further duties and obligations.

Your Instructions to Us. Without limiting the above, if you give us instructions which we believe may expose us to potential liability, we may refuse to follow your instructions. If we decide to follow your instructions, you agree to indemnify us against all losses, costs, attorneys' fees and any other liabilities we incur. In addition, we may ask you for certain protections, such as a surety bond or your indemnity in a form satisfactory to us.

IF YOU OWE US MONEY

If you withdraw funds from your Account which you do not have a right to withdraw, including the amount of a check or other item which we later charge back to your Account or any amounts that may be credited to your Account in error, you will have to pay us back. If you do not, we can bring a lawsuit against you to get the money back. We can also do this if you owe us any fees or charges in connection with your Account and you do not pay us. If we bring a lawsuit against you, you agree to pay our court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees as awarded by the court and as permitted by law.

SECURITY INTEREST

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you grant to us a security interest in any property of yours which may at any time be in our possession or control for any purpose including, but not limited to, any Account. Such property shall constitute collateral for any and all of your commercial or business purpose obligations to us. These obligations include, but are not limited to, any amount by which any of your Accounts may from time to time be overdrawn, interest accrued thereon, and any collection costs or other costs due in connection therewith.

RIGHT OF SET-OFF

We reserve the right to withdraw at any time some or all of the funds that may now or later be on deposit in any or all of your Accounts and apply them to the payment of any debts (other than amounts you may owe us on a personal credit card account with us) you may now or later owe us. We have this right even if the Account(s) we withdraw money from is a joint Account and the debt we apply it to is owed by only one of you. Likewise, we could withdraw money from an Account owned by only one person and apply it to reduce the joint debt of that person and another person. Our rights under this section are in addition to any right of set-off we may have under applicable law. You agree that our right of set-off is not conditioned on, or limited by, the complete mutuality of the parties obligated on the debt and owners on your Account, the maturity of the debt, the giving of notice to you, or the availability of any collateral securing the debt.

We also have the right to place a hold on funds in your Account if we have a claim against you or pending exercise of our right of set-off. If we place a hold on your Account, you may not withdraw funds from the Account and we can refuse to pay checks or other items drawn on the Account

In addition to any right of set-off, you hereby grant to the Bank a security interest in your deposit Accounts to secure all of your commercial or business purpose loans or cither extensions of credit, now or in the future.

ACCOUNTS WITH ZERO BALANCE

We may consider any Account (excluding CDs) having a zero balance for forty-five (45) Calendar Days to be closed by you.

ABANDONED ACCOUNTS

If your Account is considered to be abandoned under applicable law because you have not used or acknowledged your Account for a time period directed by law, we must turn over the funds in your Account to the appropriate governmental authority. We may give notices as required by law before we do this. You may try to reclaim funds turned over to the governmental authority to the extent permitted by applicable law.

BANKING PRACTICES

In the absence of a specific provision in this Agreement to the contrary, your Account will be subject to our usual banking practices and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the general commercial banking practices in the area we serve.

SEVERABILITY

if any provision of this Agreement is invalid, changed by applicable law or declared invalid by order of a court, the remaining terms of this Agreement will not be affected, and the invalid provision shall be reformed in order to preserve the original intent of this Agreement to the fullest extent feasible. However, if such reformation is not feasible, this Agreement will be interpreted as if the invalid provision had not been placed in this Agreement.

For each item sent, we will assess a collection charge plus any collection fees charged to us by other financial institutions which process the item as listed in our most recent Fee Schedule. While the funds represented by checks that are sent for collection are generally available within ten to fifteen (10 to 15) Business Days, items sent for collection will be credited to your Account in U.S. dollars, with the amount of U.S. dollars credited calculated using our applicable exchange rate that is in effect on the date when we credit the funds to your Account and not when the deposit is made. If we do not enter any item (Canadian only) for collection, the funds will be available no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the day of deposit.

CHECKS OR OTHER ITEMS RETURNED SUBSEQUENT TO FUNDS BEING MADE AVAILABLE

If a check or other item you deposited to your Account is returned to us unpaid after the funds have been made available to you, the amount of the check or other item will be deducted from your Account. If there are insufficient funds in your Account, we reserve the right to demand payment directly from you and to charge you for the overdraft as posted in our most recent Fee Schedule.

ENDORSEMENTS

Endorsements on items deposited to your Account are restricted, under federal law, to the first 1.5 inches of the back of the check. The remaining portion of the check is reserved for endorsements by banks. Your endorsement should contain your signature, the words “For Deposit Only,” and your Account number. Improper endorsements may delay the check collection process and the subsequent crediting and availability of funds. While we may accept non-conforming endorsements, you agree to be responsible for any losses.

PART IV: ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS

The Electronic Funds Transfers ("EFT") we are capable of handling are indicated below. Some of these may not apply to your Account. Please read this disclosure carefully because it tells you your rights and your obligations for these transactions. You should keep this notice for future reference.

For security purposes, your card may be cancelled after 13 months of inactivity.

Use of your Visa Debit Card may be restricted in certain countries due to security risks.

DIRECT DEPOSITS

You may make arrangements for certain direct deposits to be accepted into your Checking, Savings, or Money Market Deposit Accounts.

ELECTRONIC CHECK CONVERSION

Some Point-of-Purchase terminals may provide you the option of initiating a one-time automatic debit from your Account by authorizing the merchant to obtain the necessary information from a check drawn on your deposit Account. A check used in this way is treated as an EFT and is not a negotiable instrument in its own right. The check cannot be subsequently used and should be voided.

You may authorize a Merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment from your checking account using information from your check to:

(i)

Pay for purchases

(ii)

Pay bills

ATM AND POS TRANSACTION TYPES

You may access your Account(s) by ATM or Point of Sale (POS) using your Visa Debit Card and Personal Identification

DISCLAIMER

We disclaim all liability for losses and/or damages incurred by you for failure to complete a transfer on the correct date or in the right amount under any circumstances; provided, however, that upon notice of such failure we will take reasonable steps to correct the transaction.

CHARGES FOR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS

We will not impose a fee for transactions you conduct at an ATM that we do not own or operate. Such transactions are referred to as "non-TD Bank" ATM transactions.

Please note: For non-TD Bank ATM transactions, the institution that owns the ATM (or the network) may assess a fee (surcharge) at the time of your transaction, including balance inquiries.

International ATM Card or Visa Debit Card Transactions: The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international ATM Card or Visa Debit Card transactions is a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or the government mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date.

RIGHT TO DOCUMENTATION

Terminal Transactions: You can get a receipt at the time you conduct a transaction using automated teller machines or point-of-sale terminals, unless your transaction totals $15.00 or less.

8.1 Customer acknowledges that certain third parties, agents or independent service providers (hereinafter “Third Parties”) may, from time to time, provide services (“Third Party Services”) to Bank in connection with Bank’s provision of the Services to Customer and that accordingly, Bank’s ability to provide the Services hereunder may be contingent upon the continuing availability of certain services from such Third Parties.

9. Customer Information; Security Procedures.

9.1 In providing the Services, Bank shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of all information and authorizations received from Customer or an Authorized Representative and the authenticity of any signatures purporting to be of Customer or an Authorized Representative. Customer agrees promptly to notify Bank of any changes to any information or authorizations provided to Bank in connection with the Services, and further agrees to promptly execute any new or additional documentation Bank reasonably deems necessary from time to time in order to continue to provide the Services to Customer.

9.2 Customer agrees that it shall be solely responsible for ensuring compliance with any security procedures established by Bank in connection with the Services, as such may be amended from time to time, and that Bank shall have no liability for any losses sustained by Customer as a result of a breach of security procedures if Bank has substantially complied with the security procedures.

9.3 Bank shall be entitled to rely on any written list of Authorized Representatives provided to Bank by Customer until revoked or modified by Customer in writing. Customer agrees that Bank may refuse to comply with requests from any individual until Bank receives documentation reasonably satisfactory to it confirming the individual’s authority. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any notice or other writing believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by the individual purporting to have signed such notice or other writing. Bank may also accept verbal instructions from persons identifying themselves as an Authorized Representative, and Bank’s only obligation to verify the identity of such person as an Authorized Representative shall be to call back such person at a telephone number(s) provided to Bank by Customer. Bank may, but shall have no obligation to, call back an Authorized Representative other than the Authorized Representative from whom Bank purportedly received an instruction. Bank may, but shall have no obligation to, request additional confirmation, written or verbal, of an instruction received via telephone at any time or for any reason whatsoever prior to executing the instruction. Bank may also in its discretion require the use of security codes for Authorized Representatives and/or for receiving instructions or items from Customer. Customer understands and agrees, and Customer shall advise each Authorized Representative that, Bank may, at Bank’s option, record telephone conversations regarding instructions received from an Authorized Representative.

9.4 Any security procedures maintained by Bank are not intended to detect errors in the content of an instruction received from Customer or Customer’s agent or vendor. Any errors in an instruction from Customer, Customer’s Authorized Representative, agent or vendor shall be Customer’s sole responsibility. Customer agrees that all security procedures described in this Agreement and applicable Appendix are commercially reasonable and that Bank may charge Customer’s Account for any instruction that Bank executed in good faith and in conformity with the security procedures, whether or not the transfer is in fact authorized.

9.5 Customer agrees to adopt and implement commercially reasonable policies, procedures and systems to provide security to information being transmitted and to receive, store, transmit and destroy data or information in a secure manner to prevent loss, theft or unauthorized access to data or information (“Data Breaches”). Customer also agrees that it will promptly investigate any suspected Data Breaches and monitor its systems regularly for unauthorized intrusions. Customer will provide timely and accurate notification to Bank of any Data Breaches when known or reasonably suspected by Customer and will take all reasonable measures, including, without limitation, retaining competent forensic experts, to determine the scope of and data or transactions affected by any Data Breaches, and immediately providing all such information to Bank.

5 of 18

9.6 BANK’S SECURITY PROCEDURES ARE STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND SHOULD BE DISCLOSED ONLY TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE REQUIRED TO KNOW THEM. IF A SECURITY PROCEDURE INVOLVES THE USE OF ACCESS DEVICES, THE CUSTOMER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO SAFEGUARD THESE ACCESS DEVICES AND MAKE THEM AVAILABLE ONLY TO DESIGNATED INDIVIDUALS. CUSTOMER HAS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO INSTRUCT THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY MUST NOT DISCLOSE OR OTHERWISE MAKE AVAILABLE TO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS THE SECURITY PROCEDURE OR ACCESS DEVICES TO ANYONE. CUSTOMER HAS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN PROCEDURES TO ASSURE THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF ANY PROTECTED ACCESS TO THE SECURITY PROCEDURE.

10. Fraud Detection / Deterrence; Positive Pay.

10.1 General. From time to time, Bank may make certain products and services that are designed to detect and/or deter check or other fraud available to Customer. While no product or service will be completely effective, Bank believes that the products and services it may offer will reduce the likelihood that certain types of fraudulent items will be paid against Customer’s Account. Customer agrees that if it fails to implement any of these products or services, or fails to follow these and other precautions reasonable for Customer’s particular circumstances, Customer will be precluded from asserting any claims against Bank for paying any unauthorized, altered, counterfeit or other fraudulent item that such product, service, or precaution was designed to detect or deter, and Bank will not be required to re-credit Customer’s Account or otherwise have any liability for paying such items.

10.2 Positive Pay. Positive Pay has, in particular, been identified as a Service that will reduce the likelihood that certain types of fraudulent checks will be paid against Customer’s Account. Customer acknowledges that Positive Pay is a Service that has been identified by Bank as reducing the risk of fraudulent items being paid against Customer’s Account when such Service is adopted and fully utilized by Customer. Failure of Customer to adopt and utilize this Service is a failure to exercise ordinary care, and, accordingly, Customer will be precluded from asserting any claims against Bank for paying any unauthorized, altered, counterfeit or other fraudulent item, and Bank will not be required to re-credit Customer’s Account or otherwise have liability for paying such items.

11. Duty to Inspect. Customer is responsible for monitoring all Services provided by Bank, including each individual transaction processed by Bank, and notifying Bank of any errors or other problems within ten (10) Calendar Days (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law) after Bank has made available to Customer any report, statement or other material containing or reflecting the error, including an Account analysis statement or on-line Account access. Except to the extent required by law, failure to notify Bank of an error or problem within such time will relieve Bank of any and all liability for interest upon correction of the error or problem (and for any loss from any subsequent transaction involving the same error or problem). In the event Customer fails to report such error or problem within thirty (30) Calendar Days after Bank made available such report, statement or on-line Account access, the transaction shall be deemed to have been properly authorized and executed, and Bank shall have no liability with respect to any error or problem. Customer agrees that its sole remedy in the event of an error in implementing any selection with the Services shall be to have Bank correct the error within a reasonable period of time after discovering or receiving notice of the error from Customer.

12. Overdrafts; Set-off. Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, complete any transaction in connection with providing the Services if there are insufficient available funds in Customer’s Account(s) to complete the transaction. In the event any actions by Customer result in an overdraft in any of Customer’s Accounts, including but not limited to Customer’s failure to maintain sufficient balances in any of Customer’s Accounts, Customer shall be responsible for repaying the overdraft immediately, without notice or demand. Bank has the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, to set off the unpaid balance of any amount owed it in connection with the Services against any debt owing to Customer by Bank, including, without limitation, any obligation under a repurchase agreement or any funds held at any time by Bank, whether collected or in the process of collection, or in any other Account maintained by Customer at, or evidenced by any certificate of deposit issued by, Bank. If any of Customer’s Accounts become overdrawn, underfunded or for any reason contain a negative balance, then Bank shall have the right of set-off against all of Customer’s Accounts and other property or deposit Accounts maintained at Bank, and Bank shall have the right to enforce its interests in collateral held by it to secure debts of Customer to Bank arising from notes or other indebtedness now or hereafter owing or existing under this Agreement, whether or not matured or liquidated.

13. Transaction Limits.

13.1 In the event that providing the Services to Customer results in unacceptable credit exposure or other risk to Bank, or will cause Bank to violate any law, regulation, rule or order to which it is subject, Bank may, in Bank’s sole and exclusive discretion, without prior notice, limit Customer’s transaction volume or dollar amount and refuse to execute transactions that exceed any such limit, or Bank may terminate any Service then being provided to Customer.

6 of 18

13.2 Customer shall, upon request by Bank from time to time, provide Bank with such financial information and statements and such other documentation as Bank reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate showing Customer’s financial condition, assets, liabilities, stockholder’s equity, current income and surplus, and such other information regarding the financial condition of Customer as Bank may reasonably request to enable Bank to evaluate its exposure or risk. Any limits established by Bank hereunder shall be made in Bank’s sole discretion and shall be communicated promptly to Customer.

14. Term and Termination.

14.1 This Agreement shall be effective when (i) signed by an Authorized Representative of Customer and accepted by Bank, and (ii) Customer delivers to Bank all documents and information, including any Setup Form(s) and electronic data, reasonably required by Bank prior to commencing to provide the Services. Bank will determine the adequacy of such documentation and information in its sole discretion and may refuse to provide the Services to Customer until adequate documentation and information are provided.

14.2 This Agreement shall continue in effect until terminated by either party with ten (10) Calendar Days’ prior written notice to the other, provided that Customer may terminate this Agreement or any Appendix immediately upon its receipt of notice from Bank of a change in or amendment of the provisions of this Agreement, the Services or any Appendix that is not acceptable to Customer, in accordance with Section 21 of this Agreement. Either party may terminate an Appendix in accordance with the provisions of this Section without terminating either this Agreement or any other Appendix. Upon termination of this Agreement or any Appendix, Customer shall, at its expense, return to Bank, in the same condition as when delivered to Customer, normal wear and tear excepted, all property belonging to Bank and all proprietary material delivered to Customer in connection with the terminated Service(s).

14.3 If an Appendix is terminated in accordance with this Agreement, Customer must contact Cash Management Customer Care for instructions regarding the cancellation of all future dated payments and transfers. Bank may continue to make payments and transfers and to perform other Services that Customer has previously authorized or may subsequently authorize; however, Bank is not under any obligation to do so. Bank will not be liable if it chooses to make any payment or transfer or to perform any other Services that Customer has previously authorized or subsequently authorizes after an Appendix had terminated.

14.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may, without prior notice, terminate this Agreement and terminate or suspend any Service(s) provided to Customer pursuant hereto (i) if Customer or Bank closes any Account established in connection with the Service, (ii) if Bank determines that Customer has failed to maintain a financial condition deemed reasonably satisfactory to Bank to minimize any credit or other risks to Bank in providing Services to Customer, including the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or other statute or regulation relating to bankruptcy or relief of debtors, (iii) in the event of a material breach, default in the performance or observance of any term, or breach of any representation or warranty by Customer, (iv) in the event of default by Customer in the payment of any sum owed by Customer to Bank hereunder or under any note or other agreement, (v) if there has been a seizure, attachment, or garnishment of Customer’s Accounts, assets or properties, (vi) if Bank believes immediate action is required for the security of Bank or Customer funds or (vii) if Bank reasonably believes that the continued provision of Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Appendix would violate federal, state or local laws or regulations, or would subject Bank to unacceptable risk of loss. In the event of any termination hereunder, all fees due Bank under this Agreement as of the time of termination shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding any termination, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all transactions initiated prior to such termination.

15. Limitation of Liability; Disclaimer of Warranties.

15.1 Except to the extent required by law, the liability of Bank in connection with the Services will be limited to actual damages sustained by Customer and only to the extent such damages are a direct result of Bank’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith. In no event shall Bank be liable for any consequential, special, or indirect loss or damage that Customer may suffer or incur in connection with the Services, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, lost earnings or profits and loss or damage from subsequent wrongful dishonor resulting from Bank’s acts, regardless of whether the likelihood of such loss or damage was known by Bank and regardless of the basis, theory or nature of the action on which a claim is asserted. Except to the extent otherwise provided by law, Bank’s aggregate liability to Customer for all losses, damages, and expenses incurred in connection with any single claim shall not exceed an amount equal to the monthly billing paid by, charged to or otherwise assessed against Customer for Services over the three (3) month-period immediately preceding the date on which the damage or injury giving rise to such claim is alleged to have occurred or such fewer number of preceding months as this Agreement has been in effect. This Agreement is only between Bank and Customer, and Bank shall have no liability hereunder to any third party.

15.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8 of this Agreement, Bank shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injiuy caused by any act or omission of any third party; for any charges imposed by any third party; or for any loss, damage or injury caused by any failure of the hardware or software utilized by a third party to provide Services to Customer.

Bank shall be excused from failing to transmit or delay in transmitting an entry or funds transfer order if such transmittal would result in Bank's having exceeded any limitation upon its intra-day net funds position established pursuant to Federal Reserve guidelines or otherwise violating any provision of any risk control program of the Federal Reserve or any rule or regulation of any other U.S. governmental regulatory authority. In no event shall Bank be liable for any damages resulting from Bank’s action or inaction which is consistent with regulations issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, operating circulars issued by a Federal Reserve Bank or general banking customs and usage. To the extent required by applicable laws, Bank will compensate Customer for loss of interest on funds as a direct result of Bank’s failure to comply with such laws in executing electronic transfers of funds, if such failure was within Bank’s control. Bank shall not be liable for Customer’s attorney’s fees in connection with any such claim.

15.6 CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT CUSTOMER’S SOLE RISK, AND THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,’’ AND BANK AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS AND AGENTS DO NOT MAKE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY.

(i) any claim of any person that (a) Bank is responsible for any act or omission of Customer or (b) a Customer payment order contravenes or compromises the rights, title or interest of any third party, or contravenes any law, rule, regulation, ordinance, court order or other mandate or prohibition with the force or effect of law;

Services.

2.1 This Appendix describes the terms and conditions under which Bank will provide Customer with access to and use of any of the electronic information delivery and transaction initiation services that Bank makes available using the Bank Internet System.

2.2 By accessing the Services with the Access Devices, Customer may perform any or all of the Services described in this Appendix and selected for use in the Services’ Setup Form(s) and that Bank has approved for Customer’s use. Bank reserves the right to reject Customer’s Services’ Setup Form(s), schedules and other required documents and to refuse Customer access to or use of the Services for any reason and in Bank’s sole discretion. Bank may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, introduce new features of the Services from time to time but is not required to notify Customer of the availability of any such new features.

2.3 By subscribing to the Services, Customer will have access to the Services’ basic features, which include but may not be limited to, in Bank’s sole and exclusive discretion, the following:

2.3.1 Previous-Day Balance Reporting. Previous-Day Balance Reporting allows Customer to review the balances and transaction history in Customer’s checking, savings and loan Account(s) for three hundred sixty-five (365) Calendar Days. Customer may also view images of deposit tickets, deposit items, paid checks, and return deposited items through this feature. The period over which this information may be viewed commences only as of the implementation of the Services, and transactional history and check images may not be viewed for pre-implementation time periods.

2.3.2 Same-Day Balance Reporting. Same-Day Balance Reporting allows Customer to review same-day wire transfer activity, and selected ACH activity, as applicable.

11 of 18

2.3.3 Book Transfers. Book Transfers allows Customer to make intra-bank fund transfers between Customer’s checking and savings Accounts, Customer may initiate book transfers up to thirty-three (33) days in advance. All such transfers are subject to the Account Agreement. Transfer amounts are limited to the available balance in the Account(s) on the effective date of the transfer. The number of transfers from interest bearing checking and savings Accounts are subject to the terms of the Account Agreement and federal regulation. Transfers performed by Bank’s cut-off time as set forth in the Services’ Setup Form(s) on a Business Day will be posted to the Account as of that Business Day. Customer is solely responsible for the review of the previous day’s transaction report to ensure that the transaction was processed. Only Book Transfers initiated though the Services will be displayed on the Services’ Book Transfer reports tab.

2.3.3.1 Future-Dated Book Transfer. In conjunction with Book Transfers, a request to transfer funds between Customer’s Accounts may be initiated and approved for a future date. Future-dated transfers will be initiated on the Business Day requested by Customer, not on the date Customer entered the transaction using the Services. A funds transfer request (whether it is a same-day funds transfer or a future-dated transfer) may not result in an immediate transfer of funds or immediate availability because of the time required to process the transaction. A future-dated transfer may be cancelled through the Services at any time prior to the Business Day on which the transfer is scheduled to occur.

2.3.4 Stop Payment. Stop payments of checks drawn on Customer’s Account(s) are subject to the terms and conditions of the Account Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Account Agreement to the contrary, Customer may use the Services to initiate stop payment orders for an individual check or a range of checks. Bank shall have no responsibility for losses resulting from any delay in Bank’s receipt of stop payment orders transmitted by means of the Bank Internet System or for Customer not taking additional actions when a response message from the Bank Internet System indicates a response other than “Stop Payment was Accepted.” Customer must provide Bank with the EXACT CHECK NUMBER OR RANGE OF CHECK NUMBERS. When known, Customer should provide the EXACT AMOUNT OF THE CHECK, the NAME OF THE PAYEE(S) and the ISSUE DATE OF THE CHECK(S). If the check number is incorrect in any way or the amount of the check is inaccurate by one cent or more in the stop payment order, payment will not be stopped and Bank will not be responsible for resulting losses. All other information must be reasonably accurate. Requests entered on the current day may not be effective until one (1) Business Day after receipt, and after Bank has had a reasonable time to act on the request. Requests made on a non-Business Day or on Saturday, Sunday or federal holidays are entered on the next Business Day but may not be effective until the second (2^nd) Business Day after receipt. Stop payments using the Bank Internet System are effective for three hundred sixty-five (365) Calendar Days unless renewed before the end of the 365-day period. Except as otherwise provided by Compliance Laws, Customer shall not have the right to stop payment on or recall any payment order or transfer request given hereunder after it has been transmitted to Bank. Only stop payment orders initiated or recalled through the Bank Internet System will be displayed on the Bank Internet System’s Stop Payment Reports tab. Stop payment orders that are not initiated through the Bank Internet System may not be recalled through the Bank Internet System.

2.4 In addition to the Services as described in this Appendix and/or in the Services’ Setup Form(s), additional features or modules related to the Services may be offered from time to time by Bank, in its sole and exclusive discretion, including but not limited to the following:

2.4.1 Wire Transfers. Wire transfers are subject to the terms and conditions of the Wire Transfer Services Appendix. This Service allows Customer to transfer funds electronically, typically from Customer’s Account(s) to other account(s) with Bank or to account(s) at other banks. Except for future-dated transfers, domestic or foreign wire transfers entered through the Services will be processed on the Business Day they are received, provided that they are received in accordance with Bank’s cut-off time(s) for foreign wires and for domestic wires, as set forth in the Wire Transfer Services Appendix.

2.4.2 ACH Originations. ACH originations are subject to the terms and conditions of the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Origination Appendix or the Third-Party Sender Services Appendix, as applicable. This Service allows Customer to initiate and approve (with pre-authorization) ACH transactions that Customer desires Bank to enter into the ACH network on Customer’s behalf. Except for future-dated transactions, ACH transactions entered through the Services will be processed (but not settled) on the Business Day they are received, provided that they are received in accordance with Bank’s cut-off time, as set forth in the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Origination Appendix or the Third-Party Sender Services Appendix, as applicable.

3. Hours of Access. Customer generally may access the Services 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week. Customer may not be able to access the Services, however, during any special or other scheduled maintenance periods or interruption or delay due to causes beyond Bank’s control. These hours of access are subject to change without notice.

Account Designation.

4.1 Customer may designate any of Customer’s Accounts maintained with Bank for business or non-consumer purposes for use with the Services. The taxpayer identification number for each Account must be the same, and each Account is subject to the other conditions set forth in this Appendix, except as Bank, in its sole discretion, may otherwise permit. Bank reserves the right to deny any Account designation for use with the Services in its sole discretion.

12 of 18

4.2 Customer may at any time add or delete any Account that Customer has designated for use with any of the Services, or change the Services associated with any Account, by notifying Bank in writing.

Administrator(s) and Authorized Users.

5.1 Customer shall designate Administrator(s) with Bank as set forth in the Services’ Setup Form(s). Customer is solely responsible for designating its Administrator(s).

5.2 The Administrator(s) may designate other Administrators and/or Authorized Users. Customer accepts as its sole responsibility the Administrator’s designation of other Administrators and Authorized Users. Customer understands that the Administrator(s) will control, and Customer authorizes the Administrator(s) to control, access by other Administrators and Authorized Users of the Services through the issuance of Access Devices. The Administrator(s) may add, change or terminate Customer’s Authorized User(s) from time to time and in his/her sole discretion. Bank does not control access by any of Customer’s Authorized Users to any of the Services. Bank recommends that Customer manage its use of the Services and its Administrators by requiring dual control to set up new Authorized Users.

5.3 Customer will require each Administrator and each Authorized User to comply with all provisions of this Appendix and all other applicable agreements. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is fully responsible for the failure of any Administrator or any Authorized User to so comply. Customer is responsible for any Payment, transfer and other Services and charges incurred by any Administrator and any Authorized User, even if such Administrator or Authorized User exceeds his/her authorization.

5.4 Whenever any Authorized User leaves Customer’s employ or Customer otherwise revokes the authority of any Authorized User to access or use the Services, the Administrator(s) are solely responsible for deactivating such Authorized User’s Access Devices. Customer shall notify Bank in writing whenever a sole Customer Administrator leaves Customer’s employ or Customer otherwise revokes a sole Administrator’s authority to access or use the Services.

6. Access Devices; Security Procedures.

6.1 Upon successful enrollment, Customer can access the Services from Bank’s designated website, using the Services’ security procedures as described from time to time. Bank will provide the Administrator(s) initially designated by Customer with an initial individual password to gain access to the Services. The Administrator(s) and Authorized User(s) must change his or her individual password from time to time for security purposes, as prompted by the Bank Internet System or more frequently.

6.2 Customer acknowledges that the Administrator(s) will, and Customer authorizes the Administrator(s) to, select other Administrators and Authorized Users by issuing to any person a unique User ID and password. Customer further acknowledges that the Administrator(s) may, and Customer authorizes the Administrator(s) to, change or de-activate the unique User ID and/or password from time to time and in his or her sole discretion.

6.3 Customer acknowledges that, in addition to the above individual passwords, access to the Services includes, as part of the Access Devices, a multi-factor authentication security procedure for Customer, including Customer’s Administrator and Authorized Users. This additional security procedure incorporates use of a physical security device or token (“Token”) for Customer authentication. A Token will be issued to the Administrator(s) for administrative and transactional functionality, as well as to any Authorized User(s) authorized to initiate and/or approve ACH transactions and wire transfers. Physical security of each Token is Customer’s sole responsibility. With the Token, each Authorized User will receive a PIN number that the Authorized User must keep in a secure place. When an Authorized User leaves Customer’s employ, his or her User ID must be deleted and, if a Token had been issued to such Authorized User, Bank must be promptly notified so that Bank may deactivate such Authorized User’s Token. Any additional Authorized User requiring a Token must be authorized, in writing by Customer to Bank, for Token creation or re-creation and deployment. If applicable, fees may be assessed for additional Tokens.

6.4 Customer further acknowledges and agrees that all wire transfers and ACH transactions initiated through the Services incorporate “dual control” or separation of duties. With this additional security feature, one Authorized User will be permitted to create, edit, cancel, delete and restore ACH batches or wire transfer orders under his/her unique User ID, password and Token; a second different Authorized User with his/her own unique User ID, password and Token will be required to approve, release or delete ACH batches or wire transfer orders.

6.5 Customer accepts as its sole responsibility the selection, use, protection and maintenance of confidentiality of, and access to, the Access Devices. Customer agrees to take reasonable precautions to safeguard the Access Devices and keep them confidential. Customer agrees not to reveal the Access Devices to any unauthorized person. Customer further agrees to notify Bank immediately if Customer believes that the confidentiality of the Access Devices has been compromised in any manner.

6.6 The Access Devices identify and authenticate Customer (including the Administrator and Authorized Users) to Bank when Customer accesses or uses the Services. Customer authorizes Bank to rely on the Access Devices to identify Customer when Customer accesses or uses any of the Services, and as signature authorization for any Payment, transfer or other use of the Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Bank is authorized to act on any and all communications or instructions received using the Access Devices, regardless of whether the communications or instructions are authorized. Bank owns the Access Devices, and Customer may not transfer them to any other person or entity.

13 of 18

6.7 Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Access Devices and other security procedures applicable to Customer’s use of the Services and set forth in this Appendix are a commercially reasonable method for the purpose of verifying whether any Payment, transfer or other use of the Services was initiated by Customer. Customer also agrees that any election Customer may make to change or waive any optional security procedures recommended by Bank is at Customer’s risk and that any loss resulting in whole or in part from such change or waiver will be Customer’s responsibility. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that the Access Devices are not intended, and that it is commercially reasonable that the Access Devices are not intended, to detect any errors relating to or arising out of a Payment, transfer or any other use of the Services.

6.8 If Customer has reason to believe that any Access Devices have been lost, stolen or used (or may be used) or that a Payment or other use of the Services has been or may be made with any Access Devices without Customer’s permission, Customer must contact its Administrator and Bank. In no event will Bank be liable for any unauthorized transaction(s) that occurs with any Access Devices.

7. Debiting Customer’s Account(s). Customer authorizes Bank to charge and automatically deduct the amount of any Payment from Customer’s Account(s) (or any other Account Customer maintains with Bank, if necessary), in accordance with the Cash Management Master Agreement and the Account Agreement.

8. Use of Financial Management (FM) Software. Use of the Services may be supplemented by use of certain FM software. Compatibility and functionality of the FM software with the Services may vary depending upon the FM software Customer is using, and Bank makes no representations or guarantees regarding use of the Services with Customer’s FM software. Bank will provide Customer with reasonable assistance, when requested, to enable Customer’s use of the Services with FM software. Bank is not responsible for any problems related to the FM software itself, Customer’s Computer or Customer’s ability to connect using the FM software as described in this Appendix.

9. Security. Customer agrees not to disclose any proprietary information regarding the Services to any third party (except to Customer’s
Administrator(s) and Authorized User(s)). Customer also agrees to comply with any operating, security and recognition procedures Bank may establish from time to time with respect to the Services. Customer will be denied access to the Services if Customer fails to comply with any of these procedures. Customer acknowledges that there can be no guarantee of secure transmissions over the Internet and that the Services’ security procedures are reasonable. Customer is responsible for reviewing the transaction reports Bank provides on-line and in Customer’s monthly statements to detect unauthorized or suspicious transactions. In addition to any other provision hereof regarding authorization of transactions using the Services, all transactions will be deemed to be authorized by Customer and to be correctly executed thirty (30) Calendar Days after Bank first provides Customer with a statement or online transaction report showing that transaction, unless Customer has provided written notice that the transaction was unauthorized or erroneously executed within that period. In order to minimize risk of loss, Customer agrees to cause its Administrator or designated Authorized User(s) to review the transaction audit log available with the Services to detect unauthorized or erroneous transactions not less than once every five (5) Calendar Days.

All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Cash Management Master Agreement or the Bank Internet System Agreement, as applicable. To the extent that this Appendix is inconsistent with the provisions of the Cash Management Master Agreement, or with the terms and conditions of the Bank Internet System Agreement, this Appendix and any amendment hereto from time to time shall control, but only to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Description of the Services.

1.1 The Services described in this Appendix provide Customer with the capability to transfer funds from specific Account(s) to other accounts (the “Recipient Account(s)”) as directed via the Bank Internet System. The Recipient Account(s) may be Customer accounts or third-party accounts, and may be with Bank or with domestic or foreign third-party financial institutions. Customer may use the Services to initiate one-time wire transfers, or to create templates for wire transfers made on a repetitive basis which involve the same Customer Account and Recipient Account (“Repetitive Transfers)”). All wire transfers must be initiated by an Authorized Representative of Customer.

1.2 Prior to Customer’s use of the Services, Customer must first agree to and transmit all instructions in accordance with all of the terms, conditions and security procedures of the Bank Internet System Agreement, as may be amended by Bank from time to time.

Execution of Wire Transfers.

2.1 By submitting a wire transfer, Customer authorizes Bank to withdraw the amount of any requested wire transfer which Customer may authorize and instruct via the Bank Internet System, plus any applicable fees and charges, from Customer’s designated Account. Subject to the terms of this Appendix, Bank will accept and execute a wire transfer received from Customer that has been authenticated by Bank and that is in conformity with the Security Procedure (as further described below), cut-off times and other requirements as described in this Appendix and associated Bank setup form(s) and other documentation.

2.2 All wire transfers to accounts at other depository institutions are transmitted using the Fedwire funds transfer system owned and operated by the Federal Reserve Bank, or a similar wire transfer system used primarily for funds transfers between financial institutions.

2.3 Each wire transfer must include the following information in addition to any information which Bank may require for proper identification and security purposes: (i) account number from which the funds are to be withdrawn, (ii) amount to be transferred, (iii) name and ABA routing number of the payee’s bank, and (iv) account name, address and account number of the payee. In the event a wire transfer describes an account number for the payee that is in a name other than the designated payee, Bank may execute the wire transfer to the account number so designated notwithstanding such inconsistency.

2.4 Templates created by Customer for Repetitive Transfers are the sole and exclusive responsibility of Customer. Customer agrees to release and hold Bank harmless from any loss or liability which Customer may incur after Bank has executed a Repetitive Transfer, including without limitation, any loss due to Customer error in creating the Repetitive Transfer template.

Time of Execution.

3.1 Bank will execute each authenticated wire transfer that is in conformity with all security procedures, cut-off times and other requirements set forth herein, on the Business Day received, or on the Business Day requested by Customer if the wire transfer is future-dated. Bank may require additional authentication of any wire transfer request. Bank reserves the right to reject a wire transfer request that cannot be properly authenticated. Cut-off times may be established and changed by Bank from time to time. Instructions for wire transfers received after such cut-off times may be treated by Bank for all purposes as having been received on the following Business Day.

3.2 Except for future-dated wire transfers, domestic wire transfers (U.S.-based receivers) initiated and approved by Bank’s cut-off time on a Business Day will be processed that same day if that day is also a Business Day for Bank’s correspondent facility and the recipient bank; wire transfers initiated and approved after Bank’s cut-off time for domestic wire transfers will be processed the next Business Day if that day is also a Business Day for Bank’s correspondent facility and the recipient bank. Future-dated domestic wire transfers will be initiated on the effective date requested by Customer, not on the date Customer entered the transaction using the Services.

3.3 Bank may handle wire transfers received from Customer in any order convenient to Bank, regardless of the order in which they are received.

4. International Wires.

4.1 International wire transfers (non-U.S. receivers) of foreign currency initiated and approved by Bank’s cut-off time for international wire transfers of foreign currency on a Business Day, and an international wire transfer of U.S. currency initiated and approved by Bank’s cut-off time for international wire transfers of U.S. currency on a Business Day will be processed within the industiy standard delivery time (in most, but not all cases, two (2) Business Days). Foreign wire transfers may be subject to delays based on time-zone issues; the remote location of the recipient bank; cultural differences with respect to holidays and times of observation, etc.; and incorrect or incomplete information being supplied by Customer.

4.2 Bank shall send Customer’s authorized and authenticated wire transfers to foreign banks through any bank which is a member of Bank’s correspondent network. Neither Bank nor any of Bank’s correspondents shall be liable for any errors, delays or defaults in the transfer of any messages in connection with such a foreign wire transfer by any means of transmission. If the wire transfer is of currency other than that of the country to which it is being transferred, it shall be payable in the currency of the country of the recipient financial institution, unless the payee arranges otherwise. If the wire transfer is received by Bank prior to any cut-off time established from time to time, the currency exchange shall be made at the rate quoted by Bank at the time of the wire transfer.

4.3 Bank makes no guarantee or representation as to the availability of funds at the foreign destination. Bank makes no express or implied warranty as to the time or date the wire transfer will arrive at the receiving bank, the amount of any fees to be charged by the receiving bank or the time or date the beneficiary will receive credit for funds.

4.4 Customer understands and acknowledges that if the named beneficiary does not match the account at the receiving bank, there is a risk the beneficiary may not receive the wired funds. If the transfer is not received or credited in a timely manner, Bank will follow normal and customary procedures to complete the wire transfer, determine the location of the wired funds and/or return the funds to Customer. If Bank is unable to determine that the funds have been credited to the beneficiary’s account or have the funds returned, Customer assumes all financial liability or risk of loss for the amount of the wire transfer.

4.5 International wire transfers are subject to any and all applicable regulations and restrictions of U.S. and foreign governments relating to foreign exchange transactions. Bank has no obligation to accept any international wire transfer(s) directed to or through persons, entities or countries restricted by government regulation or prior Bank experience with particular countries. To the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, in connection with any international wire transfer(s) involving a transfer to or from any country' outside of the U.S., Customer agrees to release and hold Bank harmless from any loss or liability which Customer may incur after Bank has executed the international wire transfer(s), including without limitation, any loss due to failure of a foreign bank or intermediary to deliver the funds to a beneficiary.

5. Cancellation and Amendment of a Wire. An Authorized Representative may request that Bank attempt to cancel or amend a wire transfer previously received from Customer. If a cancellation or amendment request is received by Bank before the wire transfer is executed and with sufficient time to afford Bank an opportunity to act upon Customer’s request, Bank may, on its own initiative but without obligation, make a good faith effort to act upon such request. In the event Customer’s cancellation or amendment request is received after execution of Customer’s wire transfer request, Bank will attempt to have the wire transfer returned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have no liability for the failure to effect a cancellation or amendment, and Bank makes no representation or warranty regarding Bank’s ability to amend or cancel a wire transfer. Customer agrees to indemnify Bank against any loss, liability or expense which Bank incurs as a result of the request to cancel or amend a wire transfer and the actions Bank takes pursuant to such request.

6. Notice of Rejection or Return. Bank shall have no liability for wire transfers sent by Bank as directed by Customer which cannot be completed or which are returned due to incorrect information furnished by Customer. Customer is required to fully complete beneficiary name, and address, as beneficiary bank may elect to return an otherwise valid wire transfer for incomplete beneficiary information. Bank may reject or impose conditions that must be satisfied before it will accept Customer’s instructions for any wire transfer, in its sole discretion, including without limitation Customer’s violation of this Appendix, Customer’s failure to maintain a sufficient Account balance, or Bank’s belief that the wire transfer may not have in fact been authorized. A wire transfer may also be rejected by an intermediary or beneficiary bank other than Bank, or by operation of law. If a wire transfer is rejected, Bank will endeavor to notify Customer promptly. Upon rejection or return, Bank shall have no further obligation to act upon a wire transfer, nor shall Bank have any liability to Customer due to rejection by another person in the wire transfer process, or the fact that notice was not given or was not given at an earlier time, or within any specified time of receipt, acceptance, execution or payment of any wire transfer.

Security Procedure.

7.1 Customer agrees that the security procedures used by Customer and set forth or incorporated by reference in this Appendix and/or associated documents, including but not limited to the Bank Internet System Appendix, are a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized wire transfers and for all other instructions from Customer to Bank (hereinafter the “Security Procedure”). Any wire transfer by Customer shall bind Customer, whether or not authorized, if transmitted in Customer’s name and accepted by Bank in compliance with the Security Procedure. Customer also agrees that any election Customer may make to change or refuse the Security Procedure is at Customer’s risk and that any loss resulting in whole or in part from such change or refusal will be Customer’s responsibility.

7.2 Bank may, from time to time, modify the Security Procedure. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Appendix or in the parties’ Cash Management Master Agreement, any such changes generally will be effective immediately upon notice to Customer as described in the parties’ Cash Management Master Agreement. Customer will be deemed to accept any such changes if Customer accesses or uses any of the Services after the date on which the change becomes effective.

7.3 Bank may, from time to time, propose additional or enhanced security procedures to Customer. Customer understands and agrees that if it declines to use any such enhanced procedures, it will be liable for any losses that would have been prevented by such procedures. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Appendix, if Bank believes immediate action is required for security of Bank or Customer funds, Bank may initiate additional security procedures immediately and provide prompt subsequent notice thereof to Customer.

7.4 Customer hereby acknowledges that the Security Procedure is neither designed nor intended to detect errors in the content or verify the contents of a wire transfer by Customer. Accordingly, any errors contained in wire transfers from Customer shall be Customer’s responsibility, and Customer shall be obligated to pay or repay (as the case may be) the amount of any such wire transfer. No security procedure for the detection of any such Customer error has been agreed upon between Bank and Customer.

7.5 Customer is strictly responsible for establishing and maintaining procedures to safeguard against unauthorized wire transfers. Customer covenants that no employee or other individual will be allowed to initiate wire transfers in the absence of proper authority, supervision and safeguards, and agrees to take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of the Security Procedure and any Access Devices and related instructions provided by Bank in connection with any Security Procedure utilized by Bank and/or Customer. If Customer believes or suspects that any such Access Devices, Security Procedure, information or instructions have been disclosed to or accessed by unauthorized persons, Customer agrees to notify Bank immediately by calling 1-866-475-7262, followed by written confirmation to TD Bank, N.A., Attn: Cash Management Customer Care, 6000 Atrium Way, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, 08054. The occurrence of unauthorized access will not affect any transfers made in good faith by Bank prior to receipt of such notification and within a reasonable time period thereafter.

8. Inconsistency of Receiving Beneficiary Name and Account Number. Customer acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code, Bank shall be entitled to rely upon the numbers supplied by Customer to identify banks, beneficiaries and other parties to the wire transfer, even if those numbers disagree or are inconsistent with the names of those parties as provided by Customer.

9. Payment; Authorization to Charge Account. Customer agrees to pay Bank the amount of each wire transfer received from Customer on the Business Day Bank executes said wire transfer or at such other time as Bank may determine. Bank will validate that such sufficient funds are available prior to a wire transfer being executed. Bank may, however, in its sole discretion, execute the wire transfer even if such execution should result in the creation of an overdraft in Customer’s Account. Customer shall be liable to Bank for such overdraft. If sufficient funds are not available in Customer’s Account, the wire transfer will not be executed. Bank may, without prior notice or demand, obtain payment of the amount of each wire transfer by debiting the Account designated. In the event there are not sufficient funds available in the Account, Bank reserves the right to debit any other Account that Customer maintains with Bank.

10. Wire Confirmation; Account Reconciliation. Customer may confirm the execution of a wire transfer via the Bank Internet System. Bank will mail, fax or email to Customer advices of each completed wire transfer. Completed wire transfers will also be reflected in Customer’s periodic Account statement.

11. Service Providers. Bank may use a service provider to perform, as Bank’s agent, all or any portion of Bank’s obligations under this Appendix. Customer may be required to direct wire transfers and other requests to said provider.

12.

Bank Reliance; Authentication.

12.1 Bank shall be entitled to rely in good faith on communications it receives as being given or sent by an Authorized Representative and as being genuine and correct. Bank shall not be liable to Customer for the consequences of such reliance.

12.2 BANK MAY TAKE SUCH ADDITIONAL STEPS AND IMPLEMENT SUCH PROCEDURES AS IT MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE TO VERIFY THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY WIRE TRANSFER. BANK MAY DELAY THE EXECUTION OF ANY WIRE TRANSFER PENDING COMPLETION OF A CALL-BACK, OR RECEIPT OF ANOTHER FORM OF VERIFICATION WHICH IS SATISFACTORY TO BANK. IF BANK IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN SATISFACTORY VERIFICATION, BANK, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, MAY REFUSE TO EXECUTE ANY WIRE TRANSFER. In no event shall Bank be liable for any delay in executing a wire transfer or for failure to execute a wire transfer due to the absence of satisfactory verification.

12.3 Bank may electronically record any telephone conversations between Bank personnel and Customer.

12.4 Wire transfer transactions are subject to all the foregoing and all regulations governing electronic transactions, including but not limited to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code.

13. Effectiveness. Customer agrees to all the terms and conditions of this Appendix. The liability of Bank under this Appendix shall in all cases be subject to the provisions of the Cash Management Master Agreement, including, without limitation, any provisions thereof that exclude or limit warranties made by, damages payable by or remedies available from Bank. This Appendix replaces and supersedes all prior agreements on file with respect to the Services and shall remain in full force and effect until termination or such time as a different or amended Appendix is accepted in writing by Bank or the Cash Management Master Agreement is terminated.
