Important Definitions for Your & Our Contract. In this Contract the words we, our, and us mean the Credit Union and the words you and your mean you the account owner ( member or owner or trustee ) according to this Contract. You and your also apply to any agent appointed by or acting on behalf of you to conduct transactions on the account(s), and to any information user appointed by or acting on behalf of you to access information about the account(s), according to this Contract. The word account means one of three types of accounts that you can own and/or can access at our Credit Union: a savings (share) account, checking (share draft) account or certificate (share certificate) account. Though there are a number of titles (names) for your accounts with us, all your accounts will be one of these three account types. A savings (or share) account pays dividends, and is subject to limits on certain types of transactions on the account (as further explained in the Rate and Fee disclosures). A checking (or share draft) account may or may not pay dividends, and most transactions are conducted by check, debit card, ATM card or by phone or online. A certificate (or share certificate) account pays the highest dividends for keeping the funds in the account for a set period of time (a certain number of months), subject to a penalty if withdrawn before that set time period. All accounts that you have with us will be one of these three account types (i.e., will be a savings (share), checking (share draft) or certificate (share certificate) account). The words add, adding, additions or additional mean that an owner or trustee has added a new account and/or service with us under an existing account number by any means we allow (e.g., in person, by mail, phone or online) according to this Contract. When you request us to add an account and/or service, you understand that we may use and require you to sign a Part 1 account form (or other form we use) to add the account and/or service, and that we may note the added account and/or service on the Part 1 account form by the word Added on the form. The words affiliated person or affiliated organization means any person or organization employed by or associated with us who we request to assist us in any way with the business and affairs of the Credit Union. The word agent means a person who only has the right to conduct transactions on an account, but has no ownership or survivorship rights in the account or to the funds held in the account, and cannot initiate, change, add, close or terminate an account or service. The words beneficiary and Payable on Death (POD) Payee mean a person or an organization that an owner on a one owner account has, or the owners on a multiple owner account have, designated on an account to receive the funds remaining in an account (if any), on the owner s death or the last owner s death on the account. The word change means to revise any information concerning an account or service, any change to an owner, agent, information user, trustee or successor trustee concerning an account or service, or termination of a service with us according to this Contract. Any owner or trustee acting alone may make any change to an account or service with the exception of adding or removing an owner or trustee to or from an account or service. When you request us, or we require you, to make a change to an account or a service, or terminate a service, you understand that we may use and require you to sign an updated (revised) Part 1 account form (or other form we use), on which we may note the change and include the word Revised on the updated Part 1 account form. The word close used in connection with an account means to terminate an account (and likely terminate the related service(s)) with us according to this Contract. Any owner or trustee acting alone may close an account (and terminate any related service) Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
3 When you request us, or we require you, to close an account (and likely terminate the related service(s)) you understand that we may use and require you to sign a Part 1 account form (or other form we use), on which we may note the closed account or terminated service and include the word Closed on the Part 1 account form. The word fiduciary generally means a trustee of a trust, attorney in fact for a power of attorney, guardian or conservator of a protected person, a representative of an estate, an attorney or certified public accountant for a client, or any similar relationship where one person has a responsibility to act for the benefit of another person (or for an organization, legal entity, etc.). The word information user means a person who only has the right to access information about an account and the services related to that account, but has no ownership or survivorship rights in the account or to the funds held in the account, and cannot conduct transactions on or initiate, change, add, close or terminate an account or service. The words online, through the internet, available to you electronically, electronic availability and electronic notice mean your ability to access account and service information either at our website or through an internet-based product or service we provide and to which you have agreed (e.g., secure online account and service access solutions). The word organization means a business, association or other private or government entity that is represented by people whether recognized under the law or not. The word original on your Part 1 account form means that you have opened an account and/or initiated a service with us according to this Contract. When you request us to open an account or initiate a service you understand that we may use and require you to sign a Part 1 account form (or other form we use), on which we may note the new account or service and include the word Original on the new Part 1 account form. The word owner means a person who has ownership rights to an account and the funds held in an account, who can conduct transactions on an account, and can initiate, change, add, close or terminate an account or service according to this Contract. The words ownership and survivorship feature information specifically refer to the number of owners on an account, and whether the funds in the account will ultimately go to an owner s estate or to a designated beneficiary(s)/pod payee(s) on the owner s or the last owner s death. The ownership and survivorship features of any account are controlled solely by your most recently signed and dated Part 1 account form (or other form we use) and, to the extent applicable, to previously signed and dated Part 1 account form(s), and the provisions of this Part 2. The word Part 1 means either our Deposit Account Contract Part 1 (DAC Part 1) account form, or our Deposit Account Contract for a Trust Part 1 (DACFAT Part 1) account form, which creates the complete deposit account contract with our Deposit Account Contract Part 2 (DAC Part 2). The word Part 1 also refers to any other signature card, account card or other form that we use or provided and that you signed or otherwise authenticated in order to specify the ownership and survivorship features of your account(s). The word Part 2 means our Deposit Account Contract Part 2 (DAC Part 2 (this document)) that creates the complete deposit account contract with either our Deposit Account Contract Part 1 (DAC Part 1) account form, or our Deposit Account Contract for a Trust Part 1 (DACFAT Part 1) account form (or other form we use). The DAC Part 2 includes our Funds Availability disclosures, Electronic Fund Transfer disclosures, Rate and Fee disclosures, Privacy Policy, our Bylaws and policies, and any changes that we make to them from time to time, and along with the Part 1 account form (or other form we use) creates the complete deposit account contract. The words people or person mean human beings. The word Provision refers to the twenty-nine (29) provisions of our Deposit Account Contract Part 2 (DAC Part 2 (this document)), which can be located by page number in the table of contents at the beginning of the DAC Part 2. The word Section refers to the ten (10) sections of the Deposit Account Contract Part 1 (DAC Part 1) account form, or the nine (9) sections of the Deposit Account Contract for a Trust Part 1 (DACFAT Part 1) account form. The identifying number for each section on either the DAC Part 1 or the DACFAT Part 1 can be located at the far right side of each section of both Part 1 account forms. The word successor trustee means a person who is named as a successor trustee on our Deposit Account Contract for a Trust Part 1, who may claim the funds held in an account opened on the DACFAT Part 1 upon satisfactory proof of his or her authority and succession to act as a trustee of the trust. Until such proof is provided to us, a successor trustee has no rights to an account or funds held in an account on the DACFAT Part 1. The word transaction means 1) any action, instruction, order or request that would increase or decrease the balance in an account, or would impose a lien or security interest on funds in the account, and 2) any other request for use of any service or information in connection with the account. The word transaction does not include adding an account or service, changing any information or an owner, agent, information user, beneficiary/pod payee, trustee or successor trustee on an account or service, or closing or terminating an account or service. You may conduct a transaction by any means that we allow, such as in person, by phone, at an Automated Teller Machine (ATM), our services that can be accessed online, or by debit card, ATM card, credit card or mail. The word trustee means a person serving as a fiduciary (trustee) for a revocable or irrevocable living trust who has opened the account on our Deposit Account Contract for a Trust Part 1 (DACFAT Part 1). A trustee can conduct transactions on an account, and can initiate, change, add, close or terminate an account or service according to this Contract. d. Right to Rely on this Contract. You acknowledge the receipt of and agree to the terms, responsibilities and liabilities of this Contract given to you in person, downloaded from our website, and/or mailed or ed to you at the address in Part 1 if provided. As explained to you in Provision 1. a., this Contract includes the Funds Availability disclosures, Electronic Fund Transfer disclosures, Rate and Fee disclosures, Privacy Policy, and any changes that we make to them from time to time.

You may request a copy of your Part 1(s) (or other form we use) and any related form(s) and document(s) anytime we are open for 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
4 business. You further understand that you may initiate, change, add, close or terminate your accounts, services or membership with us at any time according to terms of this Contract. For all transactions on an account or use of a service, and for any initiation, change, addition, closure or termination of an account and/or service, you agree that we may rely exclusively on the terms of Parts 1 and 2 of this Contract, our Bylaws, and any changes we make to these documents from time to time. Further, you understand that any changes you make to your existing account(s) and services and any additional accounts or services that you request will also be governed by Parts 1 and 2 of this Contract, our Bylaws and policies, and any changes we make to them from time to time. Upon your request, when we allow you to open an account without completing a Part 1 account form (or other form that we use), you agree that the ownership and/or survivorship features of the account are governed by the ownership and/or survivorship features of your savings account (see Provision 4, regarding account ownership and survivorship features). You understand that you may reconfirm, and/or obtain a Part 1 account form that substantiates, the ownership and/or survivorship features of the account by contacting us anytime we are open for business. Finally, for your convenience and upon request, if you open, initiate, change, add or close an account or service by phone or in person (or if we allow, online), you understand and agree that the appearance (or removal) of that account on your periodic statement confirms your request for (or removal of) that account and/or service, that you have verified whether the account and/or service was opened, initiated, changed, added, closed or terminated correctly, and that the account and/or service is governed by Parts 1 and 2 of this Contact, our Bylaws and policies, and any changes we make to them from time to time. You understand that you may reconfirm and obtain a Part 1 account form or a revised Part 1 account form (or other form we use) that indicates that you have opened, initiated, changed, added, closed or terminated an account and/or service by phone (or if we allow, online) by contacting us anytime we are open for business. e. Part 1 Controls Account Ownership & Survivorship Features Depending on the accounts and related services you have selected, we may provide you with periodic statements and maturity notices that contain account information. Further, you may call us with questions about your account(s) and services any time we are open for business. You may also be able to access information about your account(s) and services online. You understand that statements, notices, online access and oral responses to questions based on our data-processing system without review of your Part 1 may not include all the information about your account(s), and do not control the ownership and survivorship features of your account(s). You understand and acknowledge that only your most recently signed and dated Part 1 account form (or other form we use) and, if applicable, previously signed and dated Part 1 account form(s), controls the number of owners (agents and/or information users if any) or trustees on your account(s), and the ownership or survivorship features of the account. To confirm the specific ownership and survivorship feature information of any account with us, please request us to refer to and provide you with a copy of your most recently signed and dated Part 1 account form (or other form we use) (in addition to previously signed and dated Part 1 account form(s) as applicable) for that account. f. How Accounts are Titled. Accounts are generally titled so that the name used on the account matches the Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number you have provided for the account in order to satisfy legal and data processing requirements. Upon your request, we can include a full description, explanation or any legal title you need in Part 1 of the Contract to explain the purpose of the account and/or the ownership of the funds held in the account. 2. Organization of Your & Our Contract In Part 1 of your and our Contract (the account form), you have provided us with your information to apply for membership, selected the ownership and survivorship features for your account(s) and selected services. On Part 1 you have also certified that the name, Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN) and address that you have provided to us are correct (or that you are exempt or that a number is not required), that you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. person, and whether or not you are subject to backup withholding. To fulfill your account and service requests, we may use the Part 1 account form to open, initiate, change (revise), add, close or terminate accounts and/or services, and may require you to sign a Part 1 account form (or other form we use) for any of your account and/or service requests. This Part 2 of this Contract explains the specific terms, responsibilities and liabilities of membership, account ownership and related services with us. It is organized chronologically, starting with important terms and definitions that you should know about this Contract, followed by membership, creation or initiation of accounts and related services, account and service maintenance and change issues, and finally addresses a number of account and service closure and termination issues. Part 2 concludes with four (4) important disclosures that also affect your account and services: the Funds Availability disclosures, Electronic Fund Transfer disclosures, Privacy Policy and Rate and Fee disclosures. Again, should you have questions or need an explanation about any matter addressed in this Contract (Parts 1 and 2) please contact us at during business hours and we will be happy to answer your questions. 3.

We will further require you to certify (confirm) for IRS reporting purposes that the SSN or EIN matches the name and address, and indicate whether you are currently subject to backup withholding and whether you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. person.

5 copy or electronic image of your current government issued picture identification for identity verification for any and all transactions or matters related to your account or services. If the IRS indicates that there is a problem with the name and number provided by you for the account on Part 1 of this Contract or otherwise notifies us, your account may become subject to backup withholding, which will require us to withhold and pay a portion of the dividends, interest or other payments to the IRS. c. Authorization to Obtain Information. You agree that we may check your account, employment and credit history, which includes obtaining reports from third parties and credit reporting agencies, to confirm your eligibility for membership, accounts and services we may offer. d. Denial of Membership. You understand that we may deny membership to anyone based on any non-prohibited reason or basis, including but not limited to: 1) having caused us a loss, 2) harassment or abuse of our employees, volunteers, members or any affiliated person or organization, 3) having not repaid a loss, 4) lack of acceptable identification, 5) previous expulsion, 6) information we obtain about you from your account, employment and credit history, or 7) for your failure to comply with any of your responsibilities under this Contract. 4. Account Ownership & Survivorship Features Upon opening an account, you acknowledge that we have explained and that you have selected your choice for the ownership and survivorship features for that account in Part 1 of this Contract (the account form). You may open an account either by yourself referred to as a one owner account, or with another person or persons referred to as a multiple owner account. You may also open an account as a trustee, custodian, representative payee, attorney-in-fact, estate representative, guardian, conservator, etc., as addressed in Provisions d. through h. that follow. When you request us to open an account or initiate a service you understand that we may use and require you to sign a Part 1 account form (or other form we use), on which we may note the new account or service and include the word Original on the new Part 1 account form. a. One Owner Accounts. A one owner account is an account owned by you alone, which you as the account owner use during your lifetime. Upon your death, the funds in the account will go to your estate and can be claimed by your legal representative or claimant subject to the terms of this Contract. You understand that it is your responsibility (and not ours) to inform your legal representative(s) about your account(s) with us. Alternatively, you can designate a specific person or persons or organization(s) as a beneficiary(s)/payable on Death payee(s) (POD payees) on your one owner account in Part 1 of this Contract. Upon your death, the beneficiary(s)/pod payee(s) will be entitled to the funds in the account (subject to the terms of this Contract) upon proof of your death and the beneficiary s/pod payee s identification. If you designate more than one beneficiary/pod payee on the account, each will be entitled to his or her (or its) equal share of the funds in the account, which will be determined by dividing the amount of the funds in the account by the number of beneficiaries/pod payees designated on the account), and will own those funds without right of survivorship (which means that the deceased beneficiary s/pod payee s share of the funds in the account would go to his or her estate). You understand that it is your responsibility (and not ours) to inform any person or organization that he, she or it is a beneficiary/pod payee on your account(s). If a beneficiary/pod payee on the account dies before you, it is your responsibility to notify us and change the account accordingly. Please be aware that your beneficiary/pod payee designations made on Part 1 of this Contract do not apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) or any account life savings insurance, which have separate beneficiary designations. b. Multiple Owner Accounts. A multiple owner account is an account owned by two or more persons who possess equal rights to conduct transactions on, initiate, change, add, close and/or terminate the account and/or related services. Each account owner owns the multiple owner account with right of survivorship. This means that when one owner dies, his or her interest in the account and the funds in the account are owned by the surviving owner or owners of the account, subject to the terms of this Contract. Upon the death of the final owner the funds in the account belong to that owner s estate and can be claimed by that owner s legal representative or claimant subject to the terms of this Contract. You understand that it is your responsibility (and not ours) to inform your legal representative(s) about your account(s) with us. Alternatively, you can designate a specific person or persons or organization(s) as a beneficiary(s)/payable on Death payee(s) (POD payees) on your multiple owner account in Part 1 of this Contract. Upon the final owner s death, the beneficiary(s)/pod payee(s) will be entitled to the funds in the account (subject to the terms of this Contract) upon proof of death and the beneficiary s/pod payee s identification. If you designate more than one beneficiary/pod payee on the account, each will be entitled to his or her (or its) equal share of the funds in the account, which will be determined by dividing the amount of the funds in the account by the number of beneficiaries/pod payees designated on the account, and will own those funds without right of survivorship (which means that the deceased beneficiary s/pod payee s share of the funds in the account would go to his or her estate). You understand that it is your responsibility (and not ours) to inform any person or organization that he, she or it is a beneficiary/pod payee on your account(s). If a beneficiary/pod payee on the account dies before you, it is your responsibility to notify us and make any changes to the account. Please be aware that your beneficiary/pod payee designations made on Part 1 of this Contract do not apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) or any account life savings insurance, which have separate beneficiary designations. Any owner acting alone may conduct transactions on the account, and each owner is authorized to act for all other owners on the account for all transactions on the account, or request additional accounts or services. Any owner may sign and guarantees the signature of any and all other owners on the account for all transactions. Each owner understands that any owner acting alone may initiate, change, add, close or terminate the account and/or a service, and that his or her signature on Part 1 of this Contract or continued use of an account or service (or receipt or availability of a periodic statement) confirms his or her agreement to any later initiation, change, addition, closure or termination of an account and/or service by any other owner on the account. While any owner may initiate, change, add, close or terminate the account and/or a service acting alone, we may require all owners to consent in writing to the addition or removal of any owner to or from the account. All owners agree that we have no duty to notify the owners of the account of any transaction, initiation, change, addition, closure or termination of an account or service by any owner acting alone. If you request us to place an owner on an account who has not signed the Part Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
6 account form (or other form we use), you agree that person is an owner of the account who may conduct transactions, initiate, change, add, close or terminate accounts and services according to this Contract. All owners, both alone and together, are liable for all transactions, initiations, changes, additions, closure or termination of an account or service, and for any charges, fees, losses or liabilities incurred for any transaction, initiation, change, addition, closure or termination of an account or service regardless of which owner conducted or benefited from the transaction, initiation, change, addition, closure or termination. If any owner owes us money for any reason, we may enforce our rights against all funds in any account on which that person is an owner, regardless of which owner deposited the funds in the account. c. Accounts Owned by or with People under 18 Years of Age. Any person under eighteen (18) years of age may open and own an account and related services (as we allow) with us, may conduct transactions on the account, and agrees to the terms, responsibilities and liabilities of this Contract. You understand that we may require any person under eighteen (18) years of age who wishes to own an account with us, to have an owner on the account who is at least eighteen (18) years of age or older who will be jointly and individually liable to us for any and all transactions on the account, and who agrees to the terms, responsibilities and liabilities of this Contract. d. Accounts Owned by Custodians for Minors Under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. You may open and own an account and related services to hold the funds of a minor (a person less than eighteen (18) years of age) under the state s Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. The account is a one owner account owned by you as a custodian (unless multiple owners are allowed by state law), in which you as the account owner-custodian hold the funds for the exclusive right and benefit of a minor. Though dividends/interest paid to the account are/is reported under the minor s name and Social Security Number, you as the custodian are the owner of the account on behalf of the minor, and barring a court order are the only person who is entitled to conduct transactions on the account, and initiate, change, add, close or terminate the account or services. If you wish to designate a successor custodian on the account, you may ask us to include that person s name as a beneficiary/pod payee on the account, and that person can claim the funds in the account as a successor custodian in the event of your death. If you wish to have another person assist you with transactions on the account, you may ask us to include that person s name as an agent on the account. When the minor reaches eighteen (18) years of age, it is your responsibility and not our responsibility to pay the funds in the account to the minor. You, as custodian, will still be the only owner of the account. e. Accounts Owned by Representative Payees for Social Security Beneficiaries. You may open and own an account and related services as a representative payee for a social security beneficiary. You understand that we may require you to prove both your authority to act as a representative payee for the social security beneficiary and your identity as a representative payee before opening the account. The account is a one owner account owned by you as a representative payee, in which you as the account owner-representative payee hold the funds for the exclusive right and benefit of the social security beneficiary. While dividends/interest paid to the account are/is reported under the beneficiary s name and Social Security Number, you as the representative payee are the owner of the account and, barring a court order, are the only person who is entitled to conduct transactions on the account, and initiate, change, add, close or terminate the account or services. f. Agents, Powers of Attorney & Information Users. i. Designation of Agents. An owner of an account may designate a person or persons to be an agent on the account who will be authorized to conduct transactions on the account. We will require you and your agent(s) to provide information about the agent(s) and will also require each agent to sign Part 1 of this Contract (the account form). An agent only has the right to conduct transactions on the account, and has no ownership or survivorship rights in the account or to the funds held in the account, and cannot initiate, change, add, close or terminate an account or service. If you want to add a person to your account who can initiate, change, add, close and/or terminate an account or service, you may add the person as an owner on the account. If you request us to place an agent on an account who has not signed the Part 1 account form (or other form we use), you agree that person is an agent on the account who may conduct transactions according to this Contract. Once you have designated an agent on your account, it is your sole responsibility and not our responsibility to monitor an agent s transactions on the account, and you agree that we have no duty or responsibility to monitor, inquire about or notify you of the use and purpose of any transaction conducted by your agent on the account, or assure that any transaction is for your benefit. The agent s authority to conduct transactions will continue until we receive written notice that you have terminated the agent s authority or until we receive written notice of your death and have a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice. Any owner may also remove an agent from an account, though if you wish to terminate an agent s authority to conduct transactions on the account, we may require you to notify us in writing and we may require you to change Part 1 of this Contract, or close the account. We have no duty to prevent an agent from conducting transactions on the account until you have made any requested change or closed the account. Upon your death on a one owner account or the final surviving owner s death on a multiple owner account, any funds in the account will be disbursed according to this Contract. ii. Powers of Attorney. If you give a person power of attorney, you understand that we may require that person to prove the authenticity of the power of attorney, and both his or her authority to act as your attorney-in-fact and his or her identity as your attorney-in-fact before allowing the attorney-in-fact to open, initiate, conduct transactions on, change, add, close or terminate an account or service. Further, if we choose to rely on your power of attorney, both you and your attorney-in-fact agree to indemnify and defend us against and hold us harmless from any loss, damage, claim or liability that occurs as a result of our reliance on the power of attorney. You agree that we may require the attorney-in-fact to sign a statement acknowledging the obligation to indemnify and defend us against and hold us harmless from any loss, damage, claim or liability as well as the attorney-in-fact s agreement to this Contract. Alternatively, you agree that we may require that an attorney-in-fact be designated as an owner or an agent on your account in a revised Part 1 of this Contract. In the event we choose to rely on your power of attorney you understand that the attorney-in-fact s authority to conduct transactions, open, initiate, change, add, close or terminate accounts or services will continue until we receive written notice that you have terminated the attorney-in-fact s authority or until we 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt.

7 receive written notice of your death and have a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice. Any owner may terminate an attorneyin-fact s authority to access an account or service, and remove an attorney-in-fact from an account if the attorney-in-fact has been placed on the account as an owner or agent, though to do so we may require you to notify us in writing and we may require you to change Part 1 of this Contract, or close the account. To assure that we carry out your wishes, if we need to seek legal or other professional advice to review your power of attorney for opening, initiating, changing, adding closing or terminating an account or service, or for any transaction on the account, you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred for the review of your power of attorney. You further agree that all costs and expenses of such review may be deducted from your account, and that you will be responsible for any additional amount owed according to the terms of this Contract. Alternatively, you understand that we may refuse to recognize the authority of a person with a power of attorney, if we determine that we cannot reasonably rely on the power of attorney and/or the person claiming to be your attorney-in-fact, unless otherwise required. iii. Designation of Information Users. An owner of an account may designate a person or persons to be an information user on the account who will be authorized to request, receive and examine all information about the account and the services related to that account. We will require you and your information user(s) to provide information about the information user(s) and will also require each information user to sign Part 1 of this Contract (the account form). An information user only has the right to request, receive and examine information about the account and the services related to that account, and has no ownership or survivorship rights in the account or to the funds held in the account, and cannot conduct transactions (other than accessing information), initiate, change, add, close or terminate the account or services. If you request us to place an information user on an account who has not signed the Part 1 account form (or other form we use), you agree that person is an information user on the account who may access information about the account and the services related to that account according to this Contract. Once you have designated an information user on your account, it is your sole responsibility and not our responsibility to monitor an information user s access to and use of account and service information, and you agree that we have no duty or responsibility to monitor, inquire about or notify you of the access to or use of account and service information by your information user on the account, or assure that the access or use of that information is for your benefit. The information user s authority to access and use account and service information will continue until we receive written notice that you have terminated the information user s authority or until we receive written notice of your death and have a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice. Any owner may also remove an information user from an account, though if you wish to terminate an information user s authority to access and use account and service information, we may require you to notify us in writing and we may require you to change Part 1 of this Contract or close the account. We have no duty to prevent an information user from accessing or using the account and service information until you have made any requested change or closed the account. g. Accounts Owned by Trusts. You may open an account to hold the funds of your trust and be named as a trustee on our Deposit Account Contract for a Trust Part 1 (DACFAT Part 1). You understand that for IRS reporting purposes, the name that appears first on Part 1 of the Contract must match the Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number provided by you to open the account (though, we will be able to write the full legal name of the trust in the specially designated area of Part 1 of the Contract should you so desire). A person named as a trustee on the Part 1 account form (or other form we use) has the same rights, responsibilities and liabilities as an owner of an account under this Contract to open, initiate, change, add, close or terminate an account or service. Each trustee understands that any trustee acting alone may initiate, change, add, close or terminate the account and/or a service, and that his or her signature on Part 1 of this Contract or continued use of an account or service (or receipt or availability of a periodic statement) confirms his or her agreement to any later initiation, change, addition, closure or termination of an account and/or service by any other trustee on the account. While any trustee may initiate, change, add, close or terminate the account and/or a service acting alone, we may require all trustees to consent in writing to the addition or removal of any trustee to or from the account. All trustees agree that we have no duty to notify the trustees of the account of any transaction, initiation, change, addition, closure or termination of an account or service by any trustee acting alone. If you request us to place a trustee on an account who has not signed the Part 1 account form (or other form we use), you agree that person is a trustee of the account who may conduct transactions, initiate, change, add, close or terminate accounts and services according to this Contract. If you wish to place a successor trustee or successor trustees on the account, we can include that person s name as a successor trustee on the account, and any successor trustee may claim the funds in the account upon providing any proof satisfactory to us of his, her or their authority and succession to act as the current trustee(s) of the trust. Until such proof is provided to us, a successor trustee has no rights to the account or to the funds held in the account. You understand and agree that you and any person designated by you on Part 1 of this Contract are fully responsible for fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of the trust, and that we may rely exclusively on the terms of Parts 1 and 2 of this Contract. All persons or organizations associated in any way with the trust (i.e., all grantors, trustees, successor trustees, and/or beneficiaries) agree to indemnify and defend us against and hold us harmless from any loss, damage, claim or liability that occurs as a result of opening, initiating, conducting transactions on, changing, adding, closing or terminating the account or services. You understand that we may require any person or organization associated in any way with the trust to sign a statement acknowledging the obligation to indemnify and defend us against and hold us harmless from any loss, damage, claim or liability as well as the person s or organization s agreement to this Contract. To assure that we carry out your wishes, if we need to seek legal or other professional advice to review your trust agreement for opening, initiating, changing, adding, closing or terminating an account or service, or for any transaction on the account, you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred for the review of your trust agreement. You further agree that all costs and expenses of such review may be deducted from your account, and that you will be responsible for any additional amount owed according to the terms of this Contract. For your and our protection, we may require you to prove your authority to negotiate a check payable to a trust before accepting any check for deposit, and may require you to deposit the check into an account for the trust Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
8 h. Accounts for Fiduciary Purposes (Accounts for Estates, Guardianships or Conservatorships). When you open an account and related services to hold the funds of an estate, memorial, guardianship, conservatorship or other fiduciary, legal or court ordered purpose, you understand and agree that we are only providing you with an account to hold funds for, and are not assisting you with or advising you about, the estate, memorial, guardianship, conservatorship or other fiduciary, legal or court ordered purpose. Further, you agree that you, as the owner of or as the fiduciary for the account and related services, are fully responsible for fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of that estate, guardianship, conservatorship or other fiduciary, legal or court ordered purpose, and that we may rely exclusively on the terms of Parts 1 and 2 of this Contract. Your authority to transact business with us as the account owner or as a fiduciary will remain in full force until we receive a court order or notice from lawful authority indicating otherwise. Any notice will not affect any checks, drafts or items in process at the time notice is given. You, as the owner or the fiduciary, will notify us of any change that affects the account. You warrant that all actions you take regarding the account will be for the sole benefit of the person or purpose you are acting on behalf of. You agree we may rely upon these representations and will have no duty to examine such authorizing documents for compliance or inquire as to the powers and duties of you or any fiduciary, and have no notice of any breach of fiduciary duties by you or any other fiduciary unless we have actual notice of wrongdoing. You acknowledge that we will not be liable for any losses due to your failure to notify us of any unauthorized acts of any fiduciary or changes to the relationship between a fiduciary and the person or purpose he or she is acting on behalf of. You and any fiduciary agree to indemnify and defend us against and hold us harmless from any loss, damage, claim or liability as a result of unauthorized acts of a fiduciary upon which we rely prior to any actual notice of any change that affects the account. You understand that we may require any person associated with the estate, guardianship, conservatorship or other fiduciary, legal or court ordered purpose to sign a statement acknowledging the obligation to indemnify and defend us against and hold us harmless from any loss, damage, claim or liability as well as the person s agreement to this Contract. To protect your and our interests, if we need to seek legal or other professional advice to review any documentation for opening, initiating, changing, adding, closing or terminating an account or service, or for any transaction on the account that holds funds for fiduciary or court ordered purposes, you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred for the review of that documentation. You further agree that all costs and expenses of such review may be deducted from the account, and that you will be responsible for any additional amount owed according to the terms of this Contract. 5. Account Access & Transactions a. Authorized Signatures. You understand that the signature that you provide to us on Part 1 of this Contract is essential to us in identifying you and allowing you to access and/or conduct authorized transactions on the account and/or use an account related service. You agree we may require you to provide us with your current government issued picture identification and signature prior to being able to access and/or conduct authorized transactions on the account and/or use an account related service. Any person who signs Part 1 of this Contract as an owner, trustee or agent may conduct transactions on the account or use the services provided with the account. If you authorize the use of any stamp, thumbprint, code or facsimile signature device, you agree that we may pay or honor any check, draft, order or item, or conduct any transaction, that contains what appears to be your authorized stamp, thumbprint, code or facsimile signature, even if the stamp, thumbprint, code or signature is not authorized. If more than one signature or endorsement is required on a check, draft, order or item drawn on or deposited to your account, you agree that we may pay or accept that check, draft, order or item regardless of the number of signatures on it if the check, draft, order or item is issued or deposited by a person authorized by you under this Contract, or otherwise authorized to issue or deposit checks, drafts, orders or items drawn on or deposited to your account. If we allow you to use or place a two or more signature requirement on your checks (or any other matter pertaining to your account(s), service(s) or transaction(s)) for your own internal control purposes with your family members, friends, employees or other persons you authorize to access your account or services (under this Contract or otherwise), you agree that it is your responsibility to manage your internal control affairs with all persons you authorize and that we may pay a check (or honor any request pertaining to your account(s), service(s) or transaction(s)) with only one authorized signature or by any person authorized by you under this Contract. You understand that we have only allowed you to use or place a two or more signature requirement with respect to your checks (or any other matter pertaining to your account(s), service(s) or transaction(s)) because you are in the best position to address your own internal control affairs with the persons you have authorized, and because you have agreed to take responsibility for and address the matter to recover any loss that occurs from a breach of this requirement. If you provide your account information, password, code or Personal Identification Number (PIN) to any person or organization to conduct transactions, you agree that you authorize those transactions and further understand that until you provide us with notice revoking your authorization, all transactions conducted by that person or organization are authorized and genuine, even if they are not conducted for your benefit or according to your instructions. You understand that when you remove an owner, signer or trustee it is your responsibility to change (or request our help in changing) any password, code, Personal Identification Number (PIN) or other security identifying number for all your accounts and services to prevent a removed owner, agent or trustee from accessing an account or service or conducting a transaction. You agree that until you make such a change (or request our help in making such a change) all access to an account or service or transactions conducted by that person with the password, code, PIN or other security identifying number is/are authorized. You agree that we may disregard all information on a check, including notes and legends except for your signature, the amount of the check and the information contained in the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) line at the bottom of the check, which contains your account number, amount of check and check number. b. Transaction Options & Required Forms. You may conduct transactions on your account by any means we permit, including in person, by check or debit card, telephone, automated teller machines (ATMs), the mail, automatic transfer or our services that can be accessed online. If we require you to use a specific form to conduct and/or complete a transaction and you do not use that form, for both your and our protection you understand that we may refuse to honor, perform or complete the transaction. Whether a transaction is honored, performed or completed or not, you are responsible for any loss or liability incurred 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
9 by us as a result of your failure to use a required form or adhering to the terms and responsibilities of this Contract. c. Account Transfers by Wire or ACH. We offer wire transfers or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers that allow you to send or receive debits or credits to your account. Should you use these services and receive funds by wire or ACH transfer, you agree to confirm the transfers by reviewing your periodic statement, and understand that we have no duty to notify you when the funds are received. While we may conditionally and provisionally credit your account for an ACH transfer, if we are not finally and ultimately paid (do not receive final settlement) for the transfer we may reverse the credit to your account or alternatively you agree to reimburse us for the amount of the reversed transfer. We may require that wire transfers be authorized in writing. When you initiate a wire transfer, you may identify either the recipient or any financial institution by name and by account or identifying number. We (and other institutions) may rely on the account or other identifying number you give as the proper identification number, even if it identifies a different person or institution. You understand that we may confirm the information on all wire requests before sending the wire. Once we have sent an outgoing wire, the transfer is final and cannot be stopped. If you provide incomplete or inaccurate written or oral transfer instructions, we will not be responsible for any resulting wire transfer losses, delays or failed transactions. You understand international wire transfers may not be completed for up to four weeks or longer. Wire transfers are governed by Federal Reserve Regulation J if the transfer is cleared through the Federal Reserve. ACH transactions are governed by the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). You acknowledge that processing of international transactions may be delayed if necessary to complete OFAC screening. You must ensure that all international entries you initiate are designated with the appropriate code as required by the Rules. All entries will be credited to or debited from your Account in U.S. Dollars. Currency conversion will be at rates determined by, or available to, us or the ACH. You will bear all currency conversion risk associated with international entries; you will bear all gains or losses associated with currency conversion for international entries. d. Limitations on Account Transactions. i. Account Withdrawal Limitations. You must have sufficient funds available in your account (or have or be eligible for one of our overdraft programs) to withdraw funds from your account. If a check, draft, item or other transfer or payment order is presented against insufficient funds in your account, you will be charged a fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. If there are sufficient funds to pay some but not all checks, drafts, items or other transfer or payment orders drawn or presented against the account, because you have ordered payment we may pay or allow withdrawals for those checks, drafts, items or other transfer or payment orders for which there are sufficient funds in any order we choose. There are a number of circumstances where you may not be able to withdraw funds from your account, including but not limited to the following: 1) you try to withdraw or make a transfer request by any method we do not permit; 2) you, an agent or any person fails to present authoritative documentation and/or identification that we require to access the account or make a withdrawal; 3) disputes or uncertainty occur over who owns the account or the funds held in the account (see Provision 20); 4) funds from deposited checks are not yet available for withdrawal or deposited checks have been returned unpaid and we have charged them back against the account; 5) the funds held in the account are held as security (collateral) for an obligation to us; 6) the funds are held or offset under our contractual security interest or statutory lien rights because you or another owner owes money to us (see Provision 18); 7) we have been served with a garnishment, levy or other similar legal process or notice by a third party (creditor, IRS, etc.) affecting the account; or 8) for your own protection, should you appear to lack the capacity to conduct a transaction. As important, for the protection of all members and the Credit Union, you understand that we may require you to provide us with written notice of your intent to make a withdrawal from your account at least seven (7) calendar days and up to sixty (60) calendar days before the time that you would like to make the withdrawal. ii. Account Transfer Limitations. On all savings or money market accounts (all non-transaction accounts), we will allow you to make up to six (6) preauthorized, automatic, telephonic, audio response or internet transfers to another of your accounts or to the account of any other person or organization during each calendar month. Your limit of six (6) preauthorized transfers includes those transactions where you order us to pay a person or organization from your account including Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. The date we use to determine the number of transactions is the date a transaction is posted to your account, rather than the date you initiate the transaction. If you exceed these limitations in any calendar month, we can refuse or reverse the transfer, close your account, and charge a fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. Transactions that are not covered by these limitations include 1) transfers from your account to pay a loan with us, and 2) transfers to your other accounts with us or withdrawals by check mailed directly to you, if the transfer or withdrawal is conducted in person, by mail or at an ATM. iii. Account Transaction Volume Limitations. We may limit the number of items deposited and the frequency of deposits and other transactions that you can make each day to your account(s). The date we use to determine the number of transactions is the date a transaction is completed by us, rather than the date you initiate the transaction. Should the transactions on your account exceed the limitations we establish, we may limit your account transaction activity, charge a fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures or close your account. You understand that if we allow or honor a transaction that exceeds these restrictions (a nonconforming transaction), we are not required to allow or honor any future transaction that exceeds these restrictions. iv. Limits on ATM Transactions. For your and our protection, we may limit the amount of cash withdrawals at automated teller machines (ATMs). Our current limitations on ATM cash withdrawals are stated in the Electronic Funds Transfers portion of this Contract. 6. Your Checking Account a. Checks You Write on Your Account, Completion of Checks & Your Check Register. When you write a check drawn on your account, in addition to writing in your payee s name and completing the numerical and written amount sections of the check and signing your name, it is also important that you draw a line after both the payee s name and after the written amount sections of the check to protect yourself against alterations or forged endorsements. Also, when completing the date, payee and amount lines on your check, always begin by writing the information at the start of the far left side of these lines to avoid leaving any spaces; this will protect 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt.

10 you from your check being altered. Once you have completed a check, you should write the check number, amount, date, payee s name and purpose for writing the check in your check register, and deduct the amount of the check from the balance in your account. This helps you to keep track of the current balance that you have in your account to avoid insufficient funds problems (or overdraft fees), and allows you to detect and report checks with alterations and forged drawer s signatures. Please use dark permanent ink (preferably black ink) to complete and sign your checks. You agree that you are responsible for any losses incurred for your checks because you do not use a dark permanent ink when completing and signing your checks. You should also keep your checks in a secure location and separate from your picture identification where they can easily be accessed by people you live, associate or work with (or stolen by persons unknown). If the account is a multiple owner account, each owner and agent may sign, issue and endorse checks in the other owner s name. You understand that if you write a check, you are ordering us to pay that check and that such payment is proper, regardless of whether you completed or signed your check. To limit your responsibility for losses, you agree that it is your obligation to review your periodic statement and report any unauthorized amounts or unauthorized checks or other transactions on your account. You can determine an unauthorized amount because the amount of the check on your statement (or if accessing your account online, the amount of the check online) does not match the amount of the check you recorded in your check register. Similarly, you can detect forged drawer s signatures on checks, counterfeit checks and unauthorized remotely created checks or drafts, because there is a check number on your statement (or if accessing your account online, a check number for or image of a check on your account online) for a check that you did not write. You understand and agree that you only have thirty (30) calendar days from the mailing date of your statement (or posting of your statement online) to notify us of alterations to the amount of a check, checks with forged drawer s signatures, counterfeit checks or unauthorized remotely created checks, or we will not be able to credit your account for the unauthorized amount of the check. If we allow you to use or place a two or more signature requirement on your checks for your own internal control purposes with your family members, friends, employees or other persons you authorize to access your account or services (under this Contract or otherwise), you agree that it is your responsibility to manage your internal control affairs with all persons you authorize and that we may pay a check with only one authorized signature or by any person authorized by you under this Contract. You understand that we have only allowed you to use or place a two or more signature requirement with respect to your checks because you are in the best position to address your own internal control affairs with the persons you have authorized, and because you have agreed to take responsibility for and address the matter to recover any loss that occurs from a breach of this requirement. b. Use of Our Check Forms. For your and our protection, you agree to use our check forms provided by our authorized vendor. You understand that your use of our vendor provided check forms is very important because 1) the security features of the checks help prevent against fraud losses, and 2) the forms assist us in determining that it is your check written by you on presentment of the check for payment. If you use check forms not provided by our authorized vendor, you understand that we may not pay the check and agree that such non-payment is not wrongful. Alternatively, if you use check forms not provided by our authorized vendor, and we pay a check or draft drawn on your account that is not our check form, you agree to be responsible for any loss and fees incurred as a result of using that check form. c. Lost or Stolen Checks? Notify Us Immediately! If your checkbook, a box of checks or any individual check is lost or stolen, contact us immediately at The sooner you contact us, the less liability you will have for unauthorized checks, drafts, orders or other items on your account, and the sooner we can provide you with a new account and new checks for that account. In fairness to all members, you understand and agree that we may charge you a fee for closing your account and opening a new account when you lose your checks and/or checkbook as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures, though we will not charge you a fee when your checks and/or checkbook are stolen. d. Our Use of Automated Collection & Payment Processes. You understand that we use automated collection and payment processes and procedures, so that we can process the greatest volume of checks, drafts and items in the most cost effective manner for the benefit of all members. These automated processes and procedures rely on and can only recognize information that is written (encoded) in the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) line at the bottom of the check, draft or item which contains your account number, amount of check and check number. So that we may achieve these cost efficiencies for all members, you agree that when we pay or take a check, draft or item for deposit and collection that we may disregard all information on the check, draft or item other than the drawer s signature, the identity of the financial institution that holds the account the check, draft or item is drawn on, the amount of the check, draft or item and the information encoded in the MICR line, whether or not that information is consistent with other information on the check, draft or item. You also agree that we do not fail to use ordinary care in paying any check, draft or item without physically or visually examining checks, drafts or items. e. Signatures by Family Members, Friends & Employees. If you report that your check has a forged drawer s signature, and we determine that the check was signed by your family member, friend or employee, and that you were negligent with respect to the check, you understand and agree that you will take responsibility for and address the matter to recover any loss for payment of the check with the family member, friend or employee. You understand and agree that you, like each member of our Credit Union, are in the best position to address the signed check with your family member, friend or employee, rather than imposing the expense of resolving the matter on all members of the Credit Union. f. Conversion of Checks to Electronic Fund Transfers. In some circumstances, a person, merchant or other organization can convert your check and check information (your checking account, check routing and serial number) to an electronic fund transfer (EFT) and debit your account. The conversion of your check to an EFT is covered by this Contract and our Electronic Fund Transfer disclosures, which are part of this Contract and are provided in this Part 2. You agree that we may honor the EFT and debit your account just as if the original check were presented for payment. Should a person, merchant or other organization convert your check to an EFT, you will have to contact that person, merchant or organization about obtaining a copy of your check Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
11 You understand that if we dishonor and return your check to a merchant for insufficient funds, a merchant may try to re-present the check electronically as an EFT. The EFT that represents the dishonored check will be treated as a re-presented check under this Contract. g. Dates on Checks. When you write a check, you agree that we may pay the check regardless of the date or language restricting payment to certain periods of time ( stale dated or void check). However, you agree that we are under no obligation to pay a check presented for payment before its date or more than six (6) months after its date. You understand that the reason dates and/or language restricting payment are ineffective is because 1) if your check is presented electronically it will either not contain the date and/or our processing equipment or systems may not allow us to examine your check for the date, and 2) if we do not pay your check generally any person in possession of the check has up to three (3) years or more to sue you for the full amount of the check (which may include interest and expenses). If you do not want us to pay your outstanding check you may notify us and place a stop payment order on that check as explained in Provision 6.h. Similarly, if you notify us not to pay a check before its date (often referred to as a postdated check ) by phone, mail or in person and in a manner we require (which will generally require confirmation in writing), that notice will only be effective if it allows us a reasonable amount of time to act on the notice to not pay and return the check, and you provide us with your name and account number, the check number, the date of the check, the name of the payee and the amount of the check. You understand that failure to provide us with either timely notice or confirmation in the manner required (that allows us a reasonable amount of time to not pay the check) or the complete and accurate information about the check and the account as required, may result in payment of the check. If you provide us with timely notice and complete and accurate information about the check and the account as required, we will return the check as postdated and charge you a fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. If we agree you may provide us with oral notice of the postdated check that will expire after fourteen (14) calendar days unless you confirm that notice in writing. Once confirmed in writing the notice will be effective for six (6) months, and can be renewed for an additional six (6) months for the fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. You understand that we have no duty to notify you when your notice will or has expired. h. Stop Payment Orders on Your Checks. You may request us to stop payment on any check drawn on or ACH debit scheduled from your checking account in a manner we require (which will generally require confirmation in writing). If you notify us to stop payment on a check, that order will be effective only if it allows us a reasonable amount of time to act on the order to not pay and return the check or ACH entry, and you provide us with your name and account number, the check or ACH entry number, the date of the check or ACH entry, the name of the payee and the amount of the check or ACH entry. You understand that failure to provide us with either a timely stop payment order or confirmation in the manner required (that allows us a reasonable amount of time to not pay the check or ACH entry) or the complete and accurate information about the check or ACH entry and the account as required, may result in payment of the check or ACH entry. If you provide us with a timely stop payment order and complete and accurate information about the check or ACH entry and the account, we will stop payment on and return the check or ACH entry, and charge you a fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. If we agree you may provide us with an oral stop payment order that will expire after fourteen (14) calendar days unless you confirm that order in writing. A stop payment order on a check that is placed or confirmed in writing the notice will be effective for six (6) months, and can be renewed for an additional six (6) months for a fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. A stop payment order on an ACH entry will continue until the entry is returned or until you cancel the stop payment order. You understand that we have no duty to notify you when your stop payment order will or has expired. You further understand that although payment of your check or ACH may be stopped, generally any person or organization in possession of the check (or who holds the ACH generated obligation) has up to three (3) years or more to sue you for the full amount of the check or obligation (which may include interest and expenses). In the unlikely event we pay a check or ACH over a timely, accurate and complete stop payment order and are required to credit your account, you agree to sign a statement explaining the dispute with your payee, and assist us in taking legal action against any and all persons or organizations to recover our loss. You understand that if you repeatedly place stop payment orders on your checks that would otherwise be returned for insufficient funds, we may consider that account abuse and may close your account under this Contract. i. Stopping Payment On Unused & Lost or Stolen Credit Union Checks. If we give you one of our checks that is either payable to you as the payee or to another person or organization (that you have requested us to make the check payable to as the payee), you understand it is your sole responsibility to ensure that you want the person or organization to receive payment for the check before you sign (endorse) the check over to that person or organization or give the check to the payee. You further understand that if you endorse the check over to a person or organization or give the check to the payee, and afterwards do not want that person or organization to receive payment for the check (because you are displeased with the person, organization or the transaction that you used our check for), we will not be able to stop payment on the check. If you have any doubt about the person, organization, payee or the transaction, do not sign (endorse) the check over to that person or organization or give the check to the payee, since we will not be able to refuse to pay the check. Should you ever change your mind and decide to not use or negotiate one of our checks, you may return our check to us and ask us for a refund for the amount of the check. If one of our checks in your possession is purportedly lost, stolen or destroyed, you agree to sign a statement or notice and either post a bond, provide us with collateral or a security interest in collateral, or wait ninety-one (91) calendar days from the date of the check, to receive a replacement check for our check that was lost, stolen or destroyed. If you purportedly do not receive one of our checks that was sent or mailed to you, you agree to sign a statement or notice and, at our discretion, either post a bond or provide us with collateral or a security interest in collateral to obtain a replacement check for our check that you claim you did not receive. j. Payment of Checks that Overdraw Your Account. We may provide check overdraft payment protection programs. If you qualify for one or more of these programs and we agree to provide the service to you, we will pay checks drawn on your account with insufficient funds by transferring funds from another 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
12 account or pursuant to a loan agreement to your checking account, and charge you a fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. Transfers from your account(s) to your checking account are covered by this Contract, whereas transfers from a loan to your checking account are governed by a separate loan agreement. You agree that we may apply funds deposited to your account(s) to your outstanding overdrafts and fees, regardless of the source, which specifically includes directly deposited government entitlements or benefits such as social security deposits. The credit union may transfer from your savings account to your checking account up to a maximum of six (6) times per calendar month, to cover overdrafts plus an applicable fee as outlined in the Rate and Fee Disclosure. k. Checks are Paid in Any Order. You understand that when you write or order checks, drafts or items drawn on your account, we may pay those checks, drafts or items in any order. If you write or otherwise order multiple checks, drafts or items drawn on your account, you should be certain there are enough funds in your account at all times to pay those checks, drafts or items or those checks, drafts or items will be handled according to the overdraft and insufficient funds terms of this Contract, or paid under one of our check overdraft programs if applicable. l. Insufficient Funds to Pay a Check. If the funds in your checking account are not sufficient to pay checks, drafts or other items presented and drawn on your account, those checks, drafts and items will be covered by our overdraft procedures and any overdraft service or agreement you have with us. You understand that we have no duty to notify you if there are insufficient funds to pay your check, draft or item. If we pay a check, draft, item or transfer that would overdraw your account beyond an agreement or service we have agreed to provide you, it does not mean that we will pay a check, draft, item or transfer that will overdraw your account in the future. If we pay a check, draft, item or transfer that would overdraw your account, you agree to repay us the amount of that paid check, draft, item or transfer and any fee for that service immediately or at the latest pursuant to any agreement or service we have agreed to provide you. Should we dishonor and return a check, draft or item drawn on an account with insufficient funds, your account will be charged a fee for the dishonored and returned check, draft or item as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. You also understand and agree that we are not liable if we refuse to pay a check, draft or item drawn on your account and return it when non-payment occurs as result of our charging your account for any obligation you owe us. Finally, if we are repeatedly presented with checks, drafts, items or transfers drawn on your account for insufficient funds, we may consider that account abuse and may close your account under this Contract. m. Non-Member Presenters of Checks. For both your and our protection and to cover costs incurred by all members for the presentment of checks over-the-counter by nonmembers, you understand that we may require any non-member presenting a check drawn on your account to provide both his or her current government issued picture identification and, at our option, sign a statement of receipt and/or place his or her thumbprint on your check, and to pay any fee we may require as disclosed in the Rate and Fee Disclosures. You agree that if a nonmember presenting your check declines to carry out any of these requirements upon presenting the check for payment, we are not liable for refusing to pay the check and that such non-payment is not wrongful. For both your and our protection, checks presented after our 2:00 p.m. cut off hour may be treated as if presented on the next business day that we are open. n. Right to Refuse Payment for Fraud or Illegibility. For your and our protection, you agree that we may refuse to honor any check, draft, order, item or instruction if we believe any signature, instruction, provision, term or the form itself is not genuine or is altered or that is illegible or written in a language other than English. You acknowledge that our non-payment or non-action under any of these circumstances is not only beneficial to you because it protects your funds and reduces your liability, but also is not wrongful. Alternatively, if we believe that your check is subject to fraud and that the presenter is the perpetrator of the fraud, you agree that for your and our protection we may retain the check to determine if the check is fraudulent, and if so the identity of the perpetrator of the fraud. Further, you agree that such retention protects you and us from incurring a loss on your account and that such retention is not wrongful. Finally, if we believe that your check is subject to fraud and that the presenter is not the perpetrator of the fraud, you agree that for your and our protection we may note on the check the type of fraud before returning the check to the presenter. 7. Deposits to Your Account a. Summary of Our Service. You understand that when we take checks, drafts or items that you wish to deposit that are not drawn on us, we are providing you a service in that we are saving you the time and expense of having to take the checks, drafts or items to the institution they are drawn on and present them in person for payment. In return for this service, you understand and agree that we may hold the funds represented by your deposit for a period of time, as explained in our Funds Availability disclosures in this Contract and that are provided in this Part 2. Additionally, if the hold on your deposited funds is for an extensive period of time, we will provide you with notice of the status of your deposit and when the funds availability will be determined. Alternatively, we may require that a check, draft or item be deposited into your savings account subject to a hold for an indefinite period of time until we can determine if the check, draft or item will be finally paid and not returned or is subject to a claim. We may (though are not required to) provide you with notice of the status of your deposit and when the funds will be available. While we want to provide you with the service of taking deposits, you understand that we place holds on funds represented by your deposit so that you do not become indebted to us for the amount of the deposit if a check, draft or item is dishonored, returned or a claim is made on the deposited funds. If you do not want us to provide this service and place a hold on the funds represented by your deposit, please tell us before we have processed the check, draft or item and we will return it to you so that you can obtain payment elsewhere. You also agree that before you deposit a check, draft or item you will inform us of any facts, circumstances and information that you are aware of that may indicate that the check, draft or item may not be paid, may be fraudulent and/or may be issued in connection with an illegitimate, an unlawful and/or a fictitious transaction or enterprise. You understand and agree that your failure to disclose any and all facts, circumstances or information about the check, draft or item to our employee (or affiliated person or organization) prior to the deposit makes you completely financially responsible 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
13 for the check, draft or item if it is dishonored, returned or a claim is made. Further, you understand for your and our protection that, following your deposit and before processing the check, draft or item, we may return the deposited check, draft or item to you so that you can obtain or recover payment elsewhere. Finally, you agree that whenever you make a deposit with us and the deposit is dishonored, returned or a claim is made on the deposited funds, you are obligated to reimburse us for the amount of the deposit and any costs and fees as stated in this Contract in general and the Rate and Fee Disclosures specifically. b. How You Can Deposit Funds. You may deposit funds to your account by any means we permit, including in person, by check, telephone, automated teller machines (ATMs), the mail, automatic transfer or our services that can be accessed online. c. Our Rights Upon Your Deposit. You understand that by offering to accept your deposits, we are providing a service to you and that we may accept, provide credit for, hold funds related to the amount of the deposit, refuse, reject or return the deposit as we believe necessary for your and our protection. The availability of funds from your deposit may be held for a period of time depending on the type of deposit (cash, check, wire, etc.) and circumstances surrounding the deposit (the amount of the deposit, the source of the funds, etc.) (please see our Funds Availability disclosures in this Contract for information about our hold policy for checking accounts that are provided in this Part 2). Alternatively, we may require that a check, draft or item be deposited into your savings account where a hold will be placed on the funds in the savings account for an indefinite period of time until we can determine if the check, draft or item will be finally paid and not returned or subject to a claim. If we elect to have a check, draft or item deposited into your savings account you understand that we may (though are not required to) provide you with notice of the status of your deposit and when the funds will be available. You also agree that before you deposit a check, draft or item you will inform us of any facts, circumstances and information that you are aware of that may indicate that the check, draft or item may not be paid, may be fraudulent and/or may be issued in connection with illegitimate, unlawful and/or fictitious transaction or enterprise. You understand and agree that your failure to disclose any and all facts, circumstances or information about the check, draft or item to our employee (or affiliated person or organization) prior to the deposit makes you completely financially responsible for the check, draft or item if it is dishonored, returned or a claim is made. Following your deposit and before processing the check, draft or item for collection and payment, should we believe that the deposited check, draft or item may be dishonored, returned or subject to a claim, you understand that we may return the deposited check, draft or item to you so that you can obtain or recover payment elsewhere. Alternatively, if you request us to take a check, draft or item for deposit and we believe that the check, draft or item is subject to fraud, for your and our protection you agree that we may retain the check, draft or item to determine if the check, draft or item is fraudulent, and if so the identity of the perpetrator of the fraud. Further, you agree that such retention protects you and us from incurring a loss on the check, draft or item and that such retention does not convert the check, draft or item. Finally, if we believe that a check offered for deposit is subject to fraud and we elect to return the check to you, you agree that for your and our protection we may note on the check the type of fraud before returning the check to you. d. Authority to Negotiate Checks & Endorsements. We may accept checks, drafts and other items for deposit into any of your accounts. Checks deposited should be endorsed by you for your protection, though we may allow you to deposit them without your endorsement. If the account is a multiple owner or multiple trustee account each owner or trustee may endorse checks for one another. For your and our protection, you agree that we may confirm the endorsement on any check that we take for deposit, and may require you to carry out specific endorsement requirements for business, insurance or government checks before taking those checks for deposit. For checks that are not made payable to you, we may require proof of your authority to endorse any check on behalf of another person or organization before taking the check for deposit, or require proof that any endorsement on a check prior to your endorsement is authentic and authorized. For your protection and to assure that you are ultimately not held financially responsible for a check, you understand that we may require any check payable to two or more persons that you wish to deposit to be endorsed in person by everyone required to endorse the check at our branch or we may not be able to accept the check for deposit. e. How to Endorse Your Check. When you receive a check made payable to you and wish to deposit that check in your account with us, we recommend that you endorse (sign) the back of check with the words For Deposit and then sign your name beneath that language and, beneath your signature, write your account number. Endorsing the check in any other manner may risk your account not being credited for the check. You understand that you may not deposit any substitute check or similar item that you have created or for which no financial institution has provided the substitute check warranties and indemnity. If you do so, you agree to indemnify us for all losses that we incur in connection with the substitute check or item. You further agree not to deposit any substitute check without our consent. When you endorse a check please make sure that your signature goes on the back of the check at the top edge (and should be no more than one and one-half (1½) inches from the back top edge of the check). Typically you will see a pre-printed space at the top of the back of the check with lines where you should sign your name (endorsement). You agree that we may ignore any other language or markings within or outside of your endorsement space on the check or draft, and that you will be responsible for any loss that results due to a delay or error in processing the check or draft for payment caused by endorsements, language, or markings inside or outside of the designated endorsement space. Please use dark permanent ink (preferable black ink) to endorse your checks. You should also write your account number below the endorsement and, if available, use our deposit slips and envelopes when making your deposit. You agree that you are responsible for any losses for a check you deposit if you do not use a dark permanent ink when endorsing the check. f. Acceptance of Checks for Deposit Is a Service to You. In handling checks, drafts, items or money for deposit or collection, you understand that we are providing you a service in that we are saving you the time and expense of having to take the checks, drafts or items to the institution they are drawn on and present them in person for payment. While we are pleased to provide you with the service of assisting you in collecting payment for the deposited check, draft or item, you understand and agree that we act only as your agent, and assume no responsibility for 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
14 the check, draft or item beyond that of the use of ordinary care. We are not responsible for any deposit sent by mail or made at an unstaffed facility (for example, an automated teller machine that is not at a branch) until we actually receive the deposited item or money. We are not liable for the negligence or default of any correspondent or for loss in transit, and each correspondent will only be liable for its own negligence. You agree that we have the right to send any deposited check, draft or item for collection, which means we will hold the funds represented by the check, draft or item until the check, draft or item is finally paid and we are certain that a claim will not be made on the check, draft or item. You further understand and agree that we have the right to charge your account for any check, draft or item taken for deposit should it become lost in the collection process. g. Your Options for Direct Deposit. We offer direct deposit options that allow you to preauthorize deposits to your accounts (such as payroll, Social Security, retirement or other government deposits) or preauthorize transfers from your accounts with us. You must initiate direct deposits on a direct deposit authorization form acceptable to the initiator of the deposit. You agree that we may refuse and return any or all funds transfers for any lawful reason. Should we be required to reimburse the federal or state government for any benefit payment directly deposited into your account, unless otherwise prohibited, you agree that we may deduct the reimbursed amount from your account, and may recover any amount owed according to the terms of this Contract. If you file for bankruptcy and do not cancel any direct deposit authorization to your accounts, you agree that your employer should continue to make and that we should continue to apply your direct deposits according to the instructions you have given us. h. When Your Deposits Will be Credited to Your Account. Deposits to your account will generally be credited on the business day of the deposit, unless the deposit is made after we close or on a Sunday, or holiday, in which case, your deposit will be credited to your account on the next business day we are open. Deposits made by you at unstaffed facilities (for example, an automated teller machine that is not at a branch) will be credited to your account on the day funds are removed and processed by us. Deposits of coin or currency will not be finally credited until we have counted the deposit and confirmed the amount. If there is a discrepancy between the amount shown on the deposit slip and the amount we count, we will send a notice of the discrepancy to you in the mail. Credit to your account for funds deposited is conditional (provisional) until we are finally and ultimately paid (i.e., when we receive final payment). Checks, drafts, or items drawn on an institution or organization located outside the United States are handled on a collection basis only and, if accepted for deposit, the deposited funds will likely be held for an extended period of time. All deposits received after we close on a day that we are open for business, will be treated as if received on the following business day that we are open. Additionally you should be aware that all deposits received on Sunday, federal holiday, or any day that we are not open for business will be treated as if received on the following business day that we are open. i. Deposits Made at a Night Depository. If you make deposits at a night depository, you agree to use any special bag or container that we may require. You will be liable for any damage to the night depository or delay in crediting deposits due to the use of containers other than those that we supply. You understand that we access night depositories only once on each business day that we are open for business. Bags or envelopes placed into the night depository before we access it are processed on that business day. Bags or envelopes placed into the night depository after we access it are processed on the next business day. Night depositories are opened and items placed in the depository are removed and logged in the presence of two (2) of our employees or affiliated persons. The contents of each envelope or bag are counted, and we will issue a credit to the account specified on the deposit ticket accompanying the deposit for the amount of the deposit as indicated by our count. You agree that we are a bailee of items placed in the night depository (i.e., we are simply in possession of the container) until we have opened the containers, verified the contents, and credited the contents to your account or returned the bag and contents to you. You acknowledge that our count of any deposit placed into the night depository is the final determination of the contents of a bag or envelope placed in the depository. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any difference in the amount of the deposit as we counted it and the amount shown on the deposit ticket. However, we will not be liable for any delay or failure to notify you of any difference in the amount counted and that shown on the deposit ticket. No deposit is considered to have been made until we have removed it and processed it as explained in this Contract, and a credit has been issued to your account. You understand and agree that the procedures explained in this Contract are commercially reasonable, and that if we follow these procedures, we are not negligent in handling items placed into the night depository. j. Erroneous Deposits to Your Account. If a deposit or other credit is made in error to your account that you are not entitled to (whether by check, cash, automated clearing house transfer, wire transfer or otherwise), you understand that we may debit your account for the amount of the erroneous deposit, and may do so without notice to you, regardless of when the original deposit took place. If you withdraw any or all of the funds erroneously deposited to your account, you agree that you are obligated to reimburse us for the amount of the erroneous deposit or credit, and any costs and fees as stated in this Contract and its Rate and Fee disclosures. k. Deposits Not Paid and Returned & Claims on Deposits. All deposits or other credits (including checks, drafts items, Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers, wire transfers, etc.) credited to your account are conditioned on being paid (that is to say, are provisional ). This means that if we do not receive final payment on any deposit, we will charge your account for the amount of the item and a return fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. Further, if we incur a fee or any expense to collect any item, we may charge that fee or expense to your account (and you understand that you would be responsible for any additional amount thereafter according to the terms of this Contract). After we have received final payment, we refer to these deposits as collected items. If any check, draft or item deposited to your account is returned to us unpaid, we have the right to charge back against your account the amount of the unpaid check, draft or item in addition to any fee incurred as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures, whether the amount of the check, draft or item was available for your use or not (and you understand that you would be responsible for any additional amount thereafter according to the terms of this Contract). If any check, draft or item you deposit in your account is returned to us for any reason, you waive your right to any notice of non-payment or dishonor for the check, draft or item. For both your benefit and ours, 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
15 you agree we may pursue payment of a previously dishonored or not paid check, draft or item at any time, including giving the financial institution the check, draft or item is drawn on extra time beyond any midnight deadline limits. Additionally, if anyone else makes a claim against us based on a check, draft or item you have deposited (including but not limited to, claims for breach of warranty based on forged or missing endorsements, for alteration or for conversion), we may charge your account for the amount of the check, draft or item and any fees, expenses and costs even if you have already received final credit and have already withdrawn the funds. You further understand and agree that you would be responsible for any additional amount owed thereafter according to the terms of this Contract. l. Endorsements by Family Members, Friends & Employees. If you report that your check has a forged endorsement, and we determine that the check was endorsed by your family member, friend or employee, and that you were negligent with respect to the check, you understand and agree that you will take responsibility for and address the matter to recover any loss for the endorsement of the check with the family member, friend or employee. You understand and agree that you, like each member of our Credit Union, are in the best position to address the endorsement with your family member, friend or employee, rather than imposing the expense of resolving the matter on all members of the Credit Union. 8. Your Dividends/Interest & Rates The dividends/interest earned on your account(s), the dividend/interest rates, balance requirements, annual percentage yields, compounding, crediting and terms are provided to you in this Contract in the Rate and Fee disclosures and your periodic statement. For the benefit and in the interests of you and all members of our Credit Union, you understand and agree that we may change the account dividend/interest rates and annual percentage yields from time to time as explained in the Rate and Fee disclosures. 9. Our Services & Related Fees All fees charged against you or your account are for services we provide to you, or as a result of actions you take or transactions you conduct under this Contract, or a third person s or private or government organization s actions against you or your account(s) with us. The purpose and amount of each fee is provided to you in the Rate and Fee disclosures and noted in your periodic statement. We charge fees so that each member is responsible for the expense of each service or transaction used or incurred by that member, rather than imposing that cost on all members of the Credit Union. In the interests of you and all members of our Credit Union, you understand and agree that we may change account fees from time to time and that we will notify you of such changes as required. 10. Account Insurance Coverage We are committed to providing a safe and sound capital structure through the retention of earnings to assure the protection of our members savings and deposits. In addition to the strength of our capital, members funds are insured at a minimum of $250,000 per member-depositor by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) and are additionally insured for another $250,000 under the Excess Share Insurance (ESI) we provide you, for a total minimum $500,000 in account insurance coverage. Our employees are available to discuss your federal account insurance needs, and quite often we can assist you in establishing your accounts to obtain millions of dollars in National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund and ESI account insurance coverage through the use of one owner and multiple owner accounts, beneficiary/pod payee designations, accounts for your living trust and other fiduciary relationship accounts. 11. Lost Checks, Drafts & Cards - Notice & Participation If a check, one of our checks, your checkbook, a box of checks, credit card, debit card, ATM card or your personal identification number (PIN) is lost or stolen call us immediately at The sooner you contact us, the less liability you will have for unauthorized transactions on your account, and the sooner we can provide you with new checks, accounts, cards and PINs. In fairness to all members, you understand and agree that we may charge you a fee for closing your account and opening a new account when you lose your checks and/or checkbook as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures, though we will not charge you a fee when your checks and/or checkbook are stolen. In the event we incur a loss on and/or a crime or potential crime is committed concerning your account(s), service(s) or transaction(s), you agree to cooperate with any person and/or organization with a business or law enforcement interest in the loss and/or crime or potential crime in the enforcement of rights or the prosecution associated with the loss and/or crime or potential crime.

To protect you and all other members of the Credit Union, if a crime or potential crime is committed against you and/or us pertaining to your accounts, loans or any related account or loan service you have with us, upon our request you specifically agree to file a police report and assist with the arrest and prosecution of anyone associated with the crime or potential crime. You acknowledge that your rights to use your account(s) and service(s) and retain your membership with us may be conditioned upon your fulfilling these requirements. 12. Membership, Account, Service & Transaction Information Only an owner, agent, information user or trustee specifically named on an account is entitled to and can access information concerning membership, the account, a service or a transaction related to the account. If there are multiple owners, agents, information users or trustees on an account, any owner, agent, information user or trustee may obtain or consent to the release of all information about membership, the account, a service or a transaction pertaining to that account. You understand and agree that you will be charged a research fee for any time spent by us addressing your information request concerning your account or related services, as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. We will not release your information to anyone without your consent unless they present us with a valid subpoena, summons, search warrant or court order (and potentially for the federal Government a certificate of compliance), or can satisfactorily prove to us that the disclosure of your information is permissible under federal and state law. You understand and agree that you may be charged a research fee for any time spent by us addressing a third party s or government s authorized demand or request for your information, as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures, ra Farleigh Wada Witt.

16 ther than imposing that cost on all members of the Credit Union. To protect your and our interests, if we need to seek legal or other professional advice to review any documentation presented to us in connection with a third party s or government s authorized demand or request for your information, you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred for the review of that documentation. You further agree that all costs and expenses of such review may be deducted from your account, and that you will be responsible for any additional amount owed according to the terms of this Contract. In the event we incur a loss on and/or a crime or potential crime is committed concerning your account(s), service(s) or transaction(s), you agree to cooperate with any person and or organization with a business or law enforcement interest in the loss and/or crime or potential crime in the enforcement of rights or the prosecution associated with the loss and/or crime or potential crime.

Part 1 Controls Account Ownership & Survivorship Features. Depending on the accounts and related services you have selected, we may provide you with periodic statements and maturity notices that contain account information. Further, you may call us with questions about your account(s) and services any time we are open for business. You may also be able to access information about your account(s) and services online. You understand that statements, notices, online access and questions based on our data-processing system may not include all the information about your account(s), and do not control the ownership and survivorship features of your account(s). You understand and acknowledge that only your most recently signed and dated Part 1 account form (or other form we use) in addition to previously signed and dated Part 1 account form(s) as applicable, controls the number of owners (agents and/or information users if any) or trustees on your account(s), and whether the funds in the account(s) will ultimately go to an owner s estate or to a designated beneficiary(s)/pod payee(s). Further, you agree that we may rely exclusively on your most recently signed and dated Part 1 account form (or other form we use) in addition to previously signed and dated Part 1 account form(s) as applicable, to determine the ownership and survivorship features of your account(s). To confirm the specific ownership and survivorship feature information of any account with us, please request us to refer to and provide you with a copy of your most recently signed and dated Part 1 account form (or other form we use) (in addition to previously signed and dated Part 1 account form(s) as applicable) for that account. 13. All Accounts are Non-Negotiable, Non-Assignable & Non-Transferable Your accounts with us are non-negotiable, non-assignable and non-transferable to another person or organization, which means that you may not endorse, negotiate, transfer, secure or pledge any of your accounts to a person or organization other than us for any reason. Unless a person s name appears on Part 1 of this Contract (the account form), he or she will be denied access to the account unless otherwise required. 14. Notice by Us to You & Notice by You to Us For the benefit of all our members and the Credit Union in general, you understand and agree that the terms of this Contract may be changed from time to time. We will notify you of any changes to terms, rates and fees that affect your accounts and services as required, though you understand and acknowledge that you can obtain the most recent version of Part 2 of this Contract and all our disclosures by contacting us during business hours or at anytime from our website at Written notice that we provide to you is effective when sent to you at the address provided by you in Part 1, Section 1 of the Contract (or any updated address reflected in our records) or any electronic notice to which you have consented. We rely on the information that you provide to us in Part 1 of this Contract for all your transactions and actions taken on your account, and you agree that we may communicate with and contact you at all addresses, phone numbers and addresses provided by you in Part 1 of this Contract or as updated in our records. It is your responsibility to notify us of any changes to this information, and if accepted those changes are incorporated into this Contract by reference. If we try to locate or contact you, we may charge you a fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. For multiple owner and multiple trustee accounts, you agree that notice to one owner or trustee is notice to all owners or trustees. Any notice that you provide to us is effective only when actually received and confirmed in writing by us at P.O. Box 598, Bath, Maine You understand and acknowledge that you may contact us anytime we are open for business to obtain additional copies of this Contract (and Part 1 (the account form) specifically), and again that you can also access Part 2 of this Contract and all our disclosures anytime on our website Should you have questions or need an explanation about any matter addressed in this Contract (Parts 1 and 2), please contact us at during business hours and we will be happy to answer your questions. Though all changes we make to this Contract are beneficial to and/or are in the best interests of all members of the Credit Union, in the event you do not want to be obligated to any change we make to the Contract, you understand that you may always close your accounts and/or terminate your membership with us at any time we are open for business. 15. Your Statement About Your Account(s), Services & Obligations a. Purpose and Receipt of Statement & Copies of Checks. We will provide you with a periodic statement that shows all transactions and activity on your account(s) during the statement period. For multiple owner and multiple trustee accounts you agree that providing one statement mailed or ed to an address provided 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
17 in the Part 1 account form (or other form we use), or downloaded, accessed and/or available to you online as requested, by an owner or trustee is sufficient for all owners and trustees of the account. For convenience, security, loss prevention and expense reduction purposes for you and all members of our Credit Union, we encourage you to use electronic periodic statements which can be accessed and reviewed online, and which you can sign up for by contacting us during business hours at or going to our website at If you do not receive or cannot access your periodic statement, you agree to notify us within fourteen (14) calendar days of the time you regularly receive or access your statement to allow both you and us to avoid and reduce losses on your account(s). You further agree that your statement is correct for all purposes and that we have no liability to you for any transaction on your account(s) unless you notify us within the time periods for unauthorized transactions, errors or irregularities as explained in this Contract. When you write a check drawn on your account and the check is paid, we own and retain the original of the check, though we will make a copy of the check available to you upon request for a fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. You acknowledge that both your statements and copies of your checks are made available to you on the date the statement is mailed to you or, if you have so requested, when we make the statement available to you electronically online. You agree to keep a copy of your original check in order to verify its validity when it is paid. If you request us to provide you with an original check or sufficient copy, you agree that we may provide an electronic image of the original check, sufficient copy or substitute check. b. Your Responsibility to Look at Your Statement for Errors & Fraud. It is your responsibility to look at every statement and notify us of any and all unauthorized transactions, errors or irregularities as soon as possible. We may require you to confirm your notification in writing and assist us in addressing the transaction, error or problem. You are liable for any altered, forged, unauthorized or unsigned check, draft or item drawn on your account if: 1) you do not notify us within thirty (30) calendar days of the mailing or electronic sending or posting of the statement containing the notice of any altered, forged, unauthorized or unsigned check, draft or item; or 2) someone could not reasonably detect the alteration or forgery, such as the unauthorized use of facsimile signatures. You assume this liability because you, as the owner or trustee of the account and drawer of the check, draft or item, are in the best position to detect any altered, forged, unauthorized signature or unsigned check, draft or item drawn on your account. As explained in Provision 6.a., you can determine an unauthorized amount, because the amount of the check on your statement (or if accessing your account online, the amount of the check online) does not match the amount of the check you recorded in your check register. Similarly, you can identify forged drawer s signatures on checks, counterfeit checks and unauthorized remotely created checks or drafts, because there is a check number on your statement (or if accessing your account online, a check number or an image of the check drawn on your account online) for a check that you did not write. Only you will know the checks, drafts or items that you have authorized as well as the amount you authorized and can compare the information provided on your statement with your register or records. You agree that our retention of your checks, drafts or items does not affect your responsibility to look at your statements and notify us of any and all unauthorized transactions, errors or irregularities within the time limits explained in this Contract or as otherwise required. As explained in our Electronic Fund Transfer disclosures, if your statement shows electronic fund transfers (EFTs) that you did not make, you must notify us within sixty (60) calendar days after the statement was mailed to you to avoid responsibility for unauthorized EFTs. c. Confirmation of Your Accounts Opened or Added by Phone or Online For your convenience and upon request, if you open, initiate, change, add or close an account or service by phone (or if we allow, online), you understand and agree that the appearance (or removal) of that account on your periodic statement confirms your request for (or removal of) that account and/or service, that you have verified whether the account and/or service was opened, initiated, changed, added, closed or terminated correctly, and that the account and/or service is governed by Parts 1 and 2 of this Contact, our Bylaws and policies, and any changes we make to them from time to time. You understand that you may reconfirm and obtain a Part 1 account form or a revised Part 1 account form (or other form we use) that indicates that you have opened, initiated, changed, added, closed or terminated an account and/or service by phone (or if we allow, online) by contacting us anytime we are open for business. 16. Changes to this Contract You may change and/or add to your one owner or one trustee account and related services at any time by contacting us and upon our request completing a new Part 1 of this Contract. You may change and/or add to your multiple owner or multiple trustee account and related services at any time by contacting us and upon our request and completing a new Part 1 of this Contract, with the exception of adding or removing an owner or whereupon all owners or trustees must sign a new Part 1 of this Contract agreeing to the change. You understand that when you remove an owner, agent or trustee it is your responsibility to change (or request our help in changing) any password, code, Personal Identification Number (PIN) or other security identifying number for all your accounts and services to prevent a removed owner, agent or trustee from accessing an account or service or conducting a transaction. You agree that until you make such change (or request our help in making such a change) all access to an account or service or transactions conducted by that person with the password, code, PIN or other security identifying number is or are authorized. For multiple owner or multiple trustee accounts, each owner or trustee understands that with exception of adding or removing an owner or trustee, any owner or trustee acting alone may initiate, change, add, close or terminate an account or service and that his or her signature on Part 1 of this Contract or continued use of an account or service, confirms his or her agreement to any later initiation, change, addition, closure or termination of an account or service by any other owner or trustee on the account. When you request us, or we require you, to make a change to an account or a service, or terminate a service, you understand that we may use and require you to sign an updated (revised) Part 1 account form (or other form we use), on which we may note the change and include the word Revised on the updated Part 1 account form. We may charge you a fee per change for multiple changes to accounts and/or services in a calendar year as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
18 For the benefit of all our members and the Credit Union in general, you understand and agree that we may change the terms of this Contract from time to time, and that we will notify you of any changes we make to terms, disclosures, rates and fees that affect your accounts and services with us, as required. You agree that such changes are binding on you, your accounts and services, and understand that you may obtain additional copies of this Contract by contacting us during business hours, and that you can access Part 2 of this Contract including all disclosures anytime on our website at Should you have questions or need an explanation about any matter addressed in this Contract (Parts 1 and 2), please contact us at during business hours and we will be happy to answer your questions. Though all changes we make to this Contract are beneficial to and/or are in the best interests of all members of the Credit Union, in the event you do not want to be obligated to any change we make to the Contract, you understand that you may always close your accounts and/or terminate your membership with us at anytime we are open for business. a. Adding Accounts and Services. As an owner or trustee on an account you can add a new account and/or service with us under an existing account number by any means we allow (e.g., in person, by mail, phone or online) according to this Contract. When you request us to add an account and/or service, you understand that we may use and require you to sign a Part 1 account form (or other form we use) to add the account and/or service, and that we may note the added account and/or service on the Part 1 account form by the word Added on the form. 17. Exceptions to this Contract To provide you with the best service possible, and when it serves the best interests of all members of our credit union, you agree that we may make exceptions to (waive) any term of this Contract. You further understand and agree that if we make an exception to this Contract it does not affect our right to rely on and/or use (apply) any term of this Contract in the future. 18. Lien & Security Interest in Account Funds You understand and agree that if you owe us money as a member, owner, trustee, agent, information user, successor trustee, fiduciary, drawer, endorser, borrower, guarantor or any other capacity, we may have a lien on your account as permitted by applicable law and you grant us a contractual security interest in any and all funds in all accounts that you are an owner, trustee or fiduciary of or have an ownership or fiduciary interest in no matter what the source of funds in the account, including directly deposited government entitlements or benefits such as social security deposits. However, our security interest, any right of set off and any lien rights do not apply to retirement accounts. At our discretion, we may apply the funds from any account you are an owner, trustee, beneficiary/pod payee or fiduciary of or have any ownership or fiduciary interest in to pay off your obligations to us without notice to you at any time. If we choose not to enforce our lien or contractual security interest our non-action is not a waiver of our rights to enforce our rights at a later time. You agree that a security interest granted by one owner, trustee or fiduciary of an account will continue to secure that owner s, trustee s or fiduciary s obligation to us even after that owner, trustee or fiduciary dies. 19. Full Payment Checks If you are repaying or making a payment on a loan or other obligation that you owe to us, please direct that payment according to our loan agreement or to the person at the Credit Union who contacted you about the obligation. You agree that any check that you try to write or negotiate to us that has a full payment legend (such as Paid in Full ) or other language intended to repay in full any of your outstanding obligations to us must be presented by you in person to an officer of our Credit Union (and must be for the full balance you are obligated to repay us, including principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses). Otherwise, any payment is accepted with full reservation of rights against you to recover any and all outstanding obligations or indebtedness owed to us. 20. Legal Action Against Your Account for Funds or Information If your account is subject to legal action, such as levy, garnishment, attachment or other court order, we may pay out funds from your account according to that legal action or alternatively place a hold on the funds in the account until the matter is resolved. Unless otherwise prohibited, all legal actions are secondary to our contractual security interest and statutory lien rights in your account. You understand and agree that you will be charged a research fee for any time spent by our employees (or any affiliated person or organization) addressing: 1) any legal, regulatory or governmental action initiated by any person and/or private or government organization against you or your account(s) or for information concerning you or the account(s); or 2) any claim made by you for any transaction that is determined to be authorized, as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. To protect your and our interests, if we need to seek legal or other professional advice to review a levy, garnishment, attachment or other court order that affects your account, a service or a transaction, you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred for the review of that levy, garnishment, attachment or court order. You further agree that all costs and expenses of such review may be deducted from your account, and that you will be responsible for any additional amount owed according to the terms of this Contract. a. Disputes Over or Uncertainty About an Account or Funds in an Account. If there is a dispute between any person and/or private or government organization over an account or the funds in an account, or we are uncertain who is entitled to access an account or the funds in an account, you agree that we may hold the funds in the account and may not release the funds in the account until all persons or organizations affected by the dispute or uncertainty agree in writing what should be done with the account and/or the funds in the account or until we receive a court order instructing us what to do. You understand and agree that such a hold is beneficial to both you and us to assure that only a person who or organization that is entitled to access the account and/or the funds in the account actually obtains access to the account and/or the funds held in an account. To protect your and our interests, if we need to seek legal or other professional advice to review a written agreement or court order that affects your account, service or a transaction, you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred for the review of that agreement or court order. You further agree that all costs and expenses of such review may be deducted from your account, and that you will be responsible for any additional amount owed according to the terms of this Contract. Alternatively, in the event of a dispute or uncertainty over who is entitled to access an account or the funds in an account, at our discretion we may deposit the funds in an account with a court and ask the court to resolve the dispute or 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
19 uncertainty over who is entitled to the funds. In such instances, we may deduct our attorney fees and court costs from the funds in the account to be deposited with the court. 21. Your Obligations to Us If we incur any loss, related expenses, fees, charges, interest and/or liability (including reasonable attorney fees) on an account or service we have provided to you, or as a result of any transaction, dispute, uncertainty or membership matter concerning you, an owner, agent, information user, beneficiary/pod payee, trustee, successor trustee or fiduciary, you agree that you are jointly and individually liable to us for the full repayment of that loss and related expenses, fees, charges, interest and liability (including reasonable attorney fees), whether you are still a member or not. You agree that we may contact you about that loss, expenses, fees, charges, interest, liability and/or any obligation (including reasonable attorney fees) that you owe to us at all addresses, phone numbers and addresses provided in Part 1 of this Contract or any updated address reflected in our records. You understand and agree that if you are ever obligated to repay us for any loss, expenses, fees, charges and/or liability in connection with your accounts, loans or any related account or loan service you have or had with us, that we may share your information with any affiliated person or organization (including collection agencies or attorneys) assisting us with the collection of your obligation, whether or not you are still a member of the Credit Union. You agree that we may deduct any loss, expenses, fees, charges, interest and/or liability (including reasonable attorney fees) from your account(s) without notice to you regardless of the source of those funds, including directly deposited government entitlements or benefits such as social security deposits. However, our security interest, any right of set off and any lien rights do not apply to retirement accounts. Additionally, you also agree to pay any other reasonable charges, fees, interest and/or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) we may incur in providing you membership, an account or any transaction or related service that are not covered by this Contract. If either you or the Credit Union is required to initiate legal action to enforce or interpret any of the terms, responsibilities or liabilities of this Contract, you and the Credit Union agree that the successful party is entitled to payment by the losing party for any collection costs incurred by either party or collection agency, and to reasonable attorney fees and costs, including those incurred on any appeal, bankruptcy proceeding and post-judgment action, unless otherwise limited or prohibited. You and your estate agree to indemnify and defend us against and hold us harmless from any loss, damage, claim, liability or legal action arising from our right to recover for any loss, expense, fees, charges, interest and liability (including reasonable attorney fees) we incur as a result of your account and any transaction on your account. If you cause us a loss, you understand and acknowledge that we may deny you accounts and services, close or terminate your accounts and services, and even expel you from membership, as addressed in this Contract, our policies or as otherwise allowed. 22. Our Responsibility for Errors If we do not properly perform a transaction according to the terms of this Contract, we may be liable to you for losses up to the amount of the transaction (unless otherwise required). We will not be liable for: 1) your account having insufficient funds to complete a transaction; 2) losses that result from your negligence or the negligence of others; 3) your failure to follow any time limits as explained in this Contract; 4) circumstances beyond our control that prevent us from performing the transaction (such as power failures, closures due to storms or other emergencies); or 5) any losses caused by your failure to follow any term of this Contract. Our actions will constitute the use of ordinary care if such actions or non-actions are consistent with applicable state law, Federal Reserve regulations and operating letters, clearing house rules and general banking practices followed in the area serviced by us. As a result of a request or an order by you, should we ever disburse a greater amount of funds based on your request or order to any person or organization that you know (e.g., relative, friend, employee, business associate, creditor, etc.), you agree to assist us in recovering our funds, including participation in litigation and prosecution. Finally, if you report that any transaction on an account or loan is erroneous or unauthorized, and we determine that the transaction on the account or loan was conducted by your family member, friend or employee, and that you were negligent with respect to the transaction, you understand and agree that you will take responsibility for and address the matter to recover any loss for the transaction with the family member, friend or employee. You understand and agree that you, like each member of our Credit Union, are in the best position to control, prevent and subsequently address the transaction with your family member, friend or employee, rather than imposing the expense of resolving the matter on all members of the Credit Union. 23. Accounts Determined Inactive Should any of your accounts have a balance less than the minimum balance required by this Contract and specifically explained in the Rate and Fee disclosures, and you have not used our products or services that would exempt your account from our inactive account policy, we may consider your account to be inactive. Should we consider your account inactive, we may charge an account inactivity fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. We charge fees on a member s inactive account because of the expense incurred by all members in maintaining accounts that are not being used by a particular member who additionally is not using our products or services that would otherwise justify us incurring the expense of maintaining the account. We will notify you at the address you have provided us or by other means as you have requested of your account s inactive status before imposing a fee, and will discontinue the fee once you have met our minimum balance and/or activity requirements. 24. Funds Presumed Unclaimed Property If there has been no activity on your account(s) such as deposits and withdrawals and we have not been able to contact you for a number of years, the state requires that the funds in your account(s) be presumed abandoned and sent to the state as unclaimed property. Upon remittance of the funds in your account(s) to the state, your accounts will be closed and you will need to reclaim the funds by contacting the appropriate state agency. 25. Closing Your Account & Terminating Services You may close your one owner or trustee account and terminate services, and any owner or trustee alone may close a multiple owner or multiple trustee account and terminate services, at any time by notifying us in writing, according to the terms of this Contract. In the interests of all members, you agree that we may require you to sign a Part 1 account form (or other form we use) acknowledging that you requested that the account be closed and services be terminated, on which we may note the closed account and terminated services and include the word Closed on the 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
20 Part 1 account form. We are not responsible for any transactions that were initiated by you or other owners, agents or trustees that occur on your account until the account is closed and the service is terminated by you with us. You agree that if we pay any check, draft, item or transfer on your account after the account is closed and the service is terminated, you will reimburse us for the amount of the check, draft, item or transfer including any fee as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. If you ask us to add to and/or change an existing account or service, you agree that we may require you to close your account and open a new account, and may require you to sign a new Part 1 account form (or other form we use). We may charge you a fee per account closure and opening or service termination and initiation for multiple closures, openings, terminations and initiations to accounts and/or services in a calendar year as stated in the Rate and Fee disclosures. We may close your account at any time and without notice if: 1) we are dishonoring a number of checks, drafts or items for insufficient funds, if a number of checks, drafts or items taken for deposit are returned unpaid or you stop payment on a check, draft or item that would otherwise be returned for insufficient funds; 2) a number of checks have been lost or stolen; 3) any alteration, forgery or other fraud has occurred involving you or your account; 4) there has been any falsification, misrepresentation or any other abuse by you or involving any of your accounts; 5) the balance of the account does not meet our minimum balance requirements for thirty (30) calendar days; 6) we determine it is necessary either to stop or prevent a loss to us; 7) you have or are making multiple additions or changes to an account and/or services; or 8) if you ever become abusive with or threaten the safety of an employee, volunteer, member or affiliated person or organization with us. Further, you acknowledge that for your and our protection we may close your account anytime to avoid a loss or potential loss to you or us (such as when your checks become lost or stolen). You understand that whether your account and service is closed and terminated by you or us that all transactions on the account will be dishonored, not paid or rejected and returned because the account is closed. You agree that whether your account and service is closed and terminated by you or us, that closure and termination does not release you or any owner, trustee, agent, information user, beneficiary/pod payee, successor trustee or fiduciary from any fees, obligations or other liabilities incurred on the account or service before, in the process of, or after the account is closed and the service is terminated. a. Non-Member Account Owners. In the event that there is no owner who is a member of our Credit Union on an account, you agree that we may close the account and issue a check for the balance of the funds in the account (as of the date at our election to close the account) to any remaining nonmember account owner. 26. Termination of Your Membership at the Credit Union Membership at our Credit Union is a privilege granted to you by our members under State law. However, you may end your membership with the Credit Union at any time by providing us with written notice of your desire to end your membership, according to the terms of this Contract. You understand that ending your membership does not release you of your responsibilities, obligations and liabilities to us under this Contract. In the interest of all members and to protect the Credit Union, to the extent permitted by law, you agree that we may expel any member for cause, which includes but is not limited to: 1) abuse of our employees, volunteers, members or any affiliated persons and organizations, services or privileges; 2) failure to use our products or services to justify your continued participation in Credit Union membership; or 3) causing us a loss. You understand and acknowledge that for the protection and safety of our employees, volunteers, members or any affiliated persons and organizations, if you ever become abusive with or threaten the safety of, any of our employees, volunteers, members or any affiliated persons and organizations, we may close your accounts and terminate your services and membership immediately and without notice. 27. Deceased Account Owners, Claims & Transactions a. Disbursal of Funds to Representative or Claimant. If you own a one owner account and have not designated any beneficiaries/pod payees on the account, upon your death the funds in the account will go to your estate and can be claimed by your legal representative or claimant (generally a creditor) subject to the terms of this Contract. If you own a multiple owner account and have not designated any beneficiaries/pod payees on the account, upon your death your interest in the account and the funds in the account are owned by any surviving owner or owners of the account (subject to the terms of this Contract), and upon the death of the final owner the funds in the account will go to the final deceased owner s estate and can be claimed by that owner s legal representative or claimant (generally a creditor) subject to the terms of this Contract. You understand that it is your responsibility (and not ours) to inform your legal representative(s) about your account(s) at our Credit Union. You agree that any representative or claimant of your estate is bound by the terms of this Contract. Upon an owner s death, we may require any estate representative or other claimant of the funds held in a deceased owner s account(s) to prove his or her authority as the representative of the estate or claimant of the funds and identification as the estate representative or claimant before we will release any funds held in any account. We may require an estate representative or claimant or anyone who claims an interest in funds held in a deceased owner s account to indemnify and defend us against and hold us harmless from any loss, damage, claim or liability before we will release the funds to the estate representative or claimant or other person. We may continue to honor all deposits, withdrawals, transfers and transactions on the account until we receive a certified copy of an owner s death certificate, along with proof of the representative s, claimant s or third person s authority as the representative, claimant or creditor of the estate and identification as the estate representative, claimant or creditor. To assure that we carry out your wishes, if we need to seek legal or other professional advice to review any documentation provided by a representative or claimant that affects your account, a service or a transaction, you agree that we may deduct all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred for the review of that documentation from your account. Alternatively, if there is a dispute between purported representatives and/or claimants, and/or there is uncertainty about who is entitled to the funds in the account that we cannot resolve by referring to this Contract, you agree that we may deposit the funds in an account with a court and ask the court to resolve the dispute or uncertainty over who is entitled to the funds. If we elect to deposit the funds with a court we may deduct our attorney fees and court costs from the funds in the account to be deposited with the court. If the funds are deposited with a court, you agree that the account may be closed 2011 Farleigh Wada Witt. All rights reserved. DAC Part 2 December
