hardware, systems, software and
telecommunications connections located at your premises and a connection to
the Internet. The Internet Banking
Services require no software installation, but minimum systems requirements
do apply. The Internet Banking

128-bit SSL capable browser.
Supported browsers are Apple Inc. Safari, Microsoft Internet Explorer,

Section, Internet Banking Services are
cancelled, terminated or suspended, Account statements in paper form shall
be provided to you.
3. Passwords, Authentication and Security
A. When you enroll in the Internet Banking Services, you will complete an
application (the "Private Wealth Online
Plus Account Opening Application") and select an identification (the
"Private Wealth ID"). The Private Wealth ID is
an alphanumeric code that you (and any users you grant access to the
Internet Banking Services) will need to log
in to the Services. The Bank will assign you a user identification (the
"User ID") for the primary user and an initial
password ("Password") for the primary user. The primary user must change the
Password when logging in for the
first time. The primary user may use the Internet Banking Service to add
users. The Private Wealth ID, User ID
and Password must be entered to access your Account(s), pay bills or perform
other banking transactions using
the Internet Banking Services. You are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your Private Wealth ID,
User ID and Password. You recognize that anyone with knowledge of your
Private Wealth ID, User ID and
Password will be able to access your Accounts and initiate transactions. You
may change your Password at
any time.
B. Use of the Internet Banking Services relies on advanced authentication
for increased security. An additional
authentication step may be required at times and you and any users you have
authorized to use the Internet
Banking Services may be prompted to enter a one-time security code based on
the telephone numbers the
Bank has in its records. You are responsible for providing accurate
telephone numbers for you and your users to
the Bank.
C. You agree that we may send notices and other communications, including
Private Wealth ID, User ID and
Password to the current address and/or email address that you have provided
us for our records, whether or not
that address includes a designation for delivery to the attention of any
particular individual. You further agree that
the Bank will not be responsible or liable to you in any way if information
is intercepted by an unauthorized person,
either in transit or at your place of business. You agree to:
EFTA01413073
i. keep your Private Wealth ID, User ID and Password secure and strictly
confidential;
ii.
instruct each person to whom you give your Private Wealth ID, User ID and
Password that he or she is not to
disclose such information to any unauthorized person;
Deutsche Bank Internet Banking Services Agreement for DB Private Wealth
Online Plus 4
EFTA01413074
iii.
immediately notify us and select a new Password if you believe your Password
may have become known to
an unauthorized person; and
iv. the Bank shall treat all statements and instructions issued using the
Private Wealth ID, User ID and Password
as having been issued by you, and that the Bank and its Service Providers
shall act in reliance upon such
statements and instructions.
The Bank and its Service Providers will have no liability to you for any
unauthorized payment or transfer made
using your Private Wealth ID, User ID and Password that occurs before you
have notified us of possible
unauthorized use and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that
notice. We may suspend or cancel
your Private Wealth ID, User ID and Password even without receiving such
notice from you, if we suspect your
Private Wealth ID, User ID and Password are being used in an unauthorized or
fraudulent manner.
D. For your protection, we recommend you memorize your Private Wealth ID,
User ID and Password and do not
write them down. For added security, you should change your Password
periodically. A properly constructed
Password affords you a greater degree of assurance. A Password is more
secure if:
i.
it contains more characters;
ii.
iii.
if those characters are both alpha and numeric characters; and
if it consists of both upper and lower case. If your Password is entered
incorrectly on 5 consecutive access
attempts, your access to the Internet Banking Services will be blocked. If
this occurs, please call Customer
Support at 1-866-362-4796 to have your Password reset. You should also take
precautions to protect your
personal identification information, such as your driver's license, and
social security number. If you believe
that your Private Wealth ID, User ID or Password have been lost or stolen,
or that someone has transferred
or may transfer money from your Account without your permission, notify us
immediately by calling the
number above.
E. We may provide you with an initial set of security codes, including
numbers and entry codes (collectively, the
"Security Code") to access the Internet Banking Services. We may also
provide you with operating procedures
and user guides (the "User Guides") in connection with certain Internet
Banking Services. You agree to:
i. comply with the User Guides and procedures that we provide to you;
EFTA01413075
take reasonable steps to safeguard the confidentiality and security of the
Security Code, User Guides,
and any other proprietary property or information we provide to you in
connection with the Internet
Banking Services;
iii. closely and regularly monitor the activities of Other Permitted Persons
who access the Internet
Banking Services; and
iv. notify us immediately, preferably by telephone, if you have any reason
to believe the security or confidentiality
the Security Code has compromised or that your Security Code has been
misused or become known to an
unauthorized person.
You agree to change your Security Code from time to time, and immediately in
the event that a person who has
had access to your Security Code is no longer authorized by you to use the
Internet Banking Services. We may
require you to change your Security Code at any time. You also agree that,
whenever anyone who is authorized
by you to use the Internet Banking Services is no longer authorized by you
to use the Internet Banking Services,
you will take all necessary measures to block further access by such person
to the Internet Banking Services.
F. You agree to limit disclosures of Private Wealth ID, User ID, Security
Code or Password to those Other Permitted
Persons authorized to use the Internet Banking Services or who have a
specific need to know them. You will
establish procedures to protect the confidentiality of all information
relating to the Internet Banking Services,
including each Security Code and Passwords.
G. If you are a business client, we may require you to designate one or more
persons as an administrator (each, an
"Administrator") for purposes of the Internet Banking Services. The
Administrator may use the Internet Banking
Services and may designate other persons (each, a "User" and collectively,
the "Users") who may also use the
Internet Banking Services. You acknowledge that we will not control (and may
not even be aware of) changes in
the Administrator or Users. The Administrator shall issue the passwords and/-
or security codes that will allow
Administrators and Users to access the Internet Banking Services; we do not
control or oversee these
Administrator functions. You, through your Administrator, will need to
designate which Accounts may be utilized
for which Internet Banking Services. The Administrators may determine User
access levels by specifying which
Internet Banking Services may be accessed using security codes issued by
them to themselves or to other
individual Users. You are encouraged to use this access restriction
capability to help reduce losses or damages
that may arise out of improper or unauthorized use of an Internet Banking
EFTA01413076
Service by a User. You agree that each
Administrator and each User are appointed as agents of yours, authorized to
use the Internet Banking Services
individually or together, including sending Payment Orders (as defined in
Section 6.v.) to us in your name. You
agree that you will be bound by any use of the Internet Banking Services or
Payment Orders we receive in your
name from any Administrator or User.
5 Deutsche Bank Internet Banking Services Agreement for DB Private Wealth
Online Plus
EFTA01413077
H. We may deny access to the Internet Banking Services without prior notice
if we are unable to confirm any person's
authority to access the Internet Banking Services or if we believe such
action is necessary for security reasons.
I. You acknowledge that accessing the Site and using Internet Banking
Services from public networks and locations
(for example, hotel business centers and internet cafes) and from locations
outside the United States may pose
increased risks of loss or theft of your Private Wealth ID, User ID,
Password and unauthorized access to your
Account(s). You agree that you accept such increased risks if you access the
Site or use the Internet Banking
Services from any such location.
3. By using the Internet Banking Services, you acknowledge and agree that
this Agreement sets forth security
procedures for electronic banking transactions that are commercially
reasonable. Our security procedures are not
designed for the detection of errors (e.g., duplicate payments or errors in
your fund transfer instructions). We will
not be obligated to detect errors by you or others, even if we take certain
actions from time to time to do so. You
agree to be bound by instructions, whether authorized or unauthorized, which
we receive and implement in
compliance with these procedures, unless you have given us prior notice of
possible unauthorized use as
described above (and we had a reasonable opportunity to act on such notice).
K. Based on your use of the Internet Banking Services, the Bank may, at our
sole discretion, provide you with and
require you to use a two-factor authentication method (an "RSA SecurlD") for
Internet Banking Services and to
sign an RSA addendum to this Agreement setting forth the terms and
conditions of your use of such RSA SecurlD
two-factor authentication.
4.
Internet Banking Services Fees
A. You agree to pay any and all fees associated with the Internet Banking
Services, if any, and in the Account
Agreement. Such amounts do not include, and you agree to be responsible for,
any sales, excise, use, value
added, utility or other similar taxes relating to such Internet Banking
Services. We reserve the right to change or
add fees for Internet Banking Services at any time. Advance notice of new
fees or fees changes will be provided if
required by law.
B. You are solely responsible for any telecommunications charges and any
other charges imposed by your telephone
and/or Internet access provider that you incur in accessing the Site or
Internet Banking Services and any charges
that would, in the absence of this Agreement, apply to your Accounts or any
other relationship with or services
provided to you by the Bank or any other member of the Deutsche Bank Group.
EFTA01413078
You are solely responsible for the
costs associated with acquiring, maintaining and operating the computer
equipment located at your premises and
a connection to the Internet, and otherwise meeting the minimum systems
requirements set forth in Section 2(G)
of this Agreement.
C. Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the Internet
Banking Services were used during the
billing cycle. There may be a charge for additional transactions and other
optional services. You agree to pay such
charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from your
designated billing Account (or any other
account of yours at the Bank) for these amounts and any additional charges
that may be incurred by you. Any
financial fees associated with your Accounts as set forth in the Account
Agreement will continue to apply.

B. Business Hours
For purposes of this Agreement, our business hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00

Banking Services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except during any time
where the Site is inaccessible.

Liability
A. Liability for Unauthorized Use.
i. Call us AT ONCE at 1 866-362-4796 if you believe that someone has
transferred or may transfer money from
your Account without your permission or if you believe your Private Wealth
ID, User ID or Password has been
compromised. You can notify the Bank by telephone at the number above, or by
calling your Private Banker
or in writing at the following address: Deutsche Bank Trust Company of
Americas, Branch Operations,
345 Park Avenue, MS NYC20-0102, New York, NY 10154. Telephoning immediately
is the best way of
keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your
Account(s).
ii. For consumers: If you notify us within two Business Days after you learn
of the loss or theft of your Private
Wealth ID, User ID or Password, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone
used your Private Wealth ID,
User ID or Password without your permission or otherwise made an
unauthorized electronic funds transfer
from your Account. If you do not tell us within two Business Days after you
learn of the loss or theft of your
Private Wealth ID, User ID or Password and we can show that, had you told
the Bank, it could have stopped
someone from using the Private Wealth ID, User ID or Password without your
permission or making other
unauthorized electronic transfers from your Account, you could lose as much
as $500.00.
iii. For consumers: If your statement shows transfers that you did not make,
tell us at once. You must notify the
Bank within sixty (60) days after the statement was made available to you.
You may not get back the money
lost due to unauthorized transfers after those sixty (60) days if the Bank
can show that your providing notice
within those sixty (60) days could have prevented the loss. If a good reason
(such as a long trip or hospital
stay) kept you from telling the Bank, we will extend the time periods.
iv. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, we will not be liable
or have any responsibility of any kind for
any loss or damage incurred by you as a result, directly or indirectly, of
any unauthorized person gaining
access to, or otherwise making use of, the Internet Banking Services.
v. With your agreement we may use a Security Code as a security procedure to
prevent unauthorized funds
transfers or other payments (requests for funds transfers, ACH entries,
transfers between accounts, bill
payment, other payment orders or other communications will be referred to as
"Payment Orders" and each of
which as a "Payment Order"). You acknowledge that you have been offered
alternative security procedures
EFTA01413080
and have chosen the Internet Banking Services and these procedures after
consideration of the risks of loss
faced by you due to the possibility of an unauthorized transaction
occurring. We may process any Payment
Order we receive in your name and you will be responsible for it if it was
initiated using one of your Security
Codes. If a Payment Order issued to us in your name as sender is verified as
authentic using the security
codes the Payment Order will be effective as your Payment Order whether or
not authorized. This means that
you will be deemed to have given the Payment Order, and you will be
obligated on it (including to pay us the
amount), even if it was not authorized by you. Each time you send a Payment
Order through the Internet
Banking Services, you warrant that the Security Code is a commercially
reasonable method to detect an
unauthorized transaction, based on the circumstances involved (e.g., the
size, type, and frequency of your
transfers, as well as your internal controls). If at any time the Security
Code ceases to be a commercially
reasonable method to detect unauthorized transactions (such as by a change
in your usage patterns or other
circumstances), you agree to inform us immediately.
vi. Except as described and set forth in this Agreement, you agree that you
are responsible for and bound by any
Payment Order that is received by us in your name if it was authorized by
you, whether or not we used the
security procedures to verify authenticity or could have prevented a loss to
you by using the security
procedures to verify the authenticity of the Payment Order. You agree that
we will not be responsible for
verifying whether a Payment Order or other communication is originated by an
authorized person other than
through the verification process contained in these security procedures.
Thus, when an employee is added or
deleted as an authorized person on the system, the Bank will treat that
person as "authorized" if the security
procedures are followed, without verifying that employee with you or
otherwise investigating whether the
employee is exercising authority granted by you or consistent with any
internal limitations on activity
established by you for that employee. Among other things, this means that
you will be solely liable for any
losses or damages resulting from your breach of this Agreement or to which
your negligence contributed, or
which resulted from unauthorized, fraudulent or dishonest acts by your
current and/or former authorized
agents (including instances where an authorized agent acted to your
detriment).
vii. You are responsible for controlling access to the Internet Banking
Services and for any limitations placed by
EFTA01413081
you on the Internet Banking Services that an authorized person may utilize.
The fact that we are, or may be
aware of, or could have discovered, any limitation on access to an Internet
Banking Service does not make us
obligated to enforce or attempt to enforce any limitation. You understand
that each authorized person may
utilize the Internet Banking Services without regard to any restrictions
otherwise applicable to an Account.
B. Limitation on Liability
i. For consumers: If we do not complete an electronic funds transfer (as
defined in the Electronic Funds
Transfer Act and Regulation E of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau)

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, 345 Park Avenue, Attn: Banking
Department, MS NYC20-0108,
New York, NY 10154 during regular business hours immediately, if you think
your statement is wrong or if you
need more information about an electronic funds transfer listed on the
statement. We must hear from you no later
than sixty (60) days after we sent the first statement on which the problem
or error appeared. To report an error or
get more information:
provide your name and Account number;
EFTA01413086
ii. describe the error or transfer in question, and explain as clearly as
you can why you believe it is an error or
why you need information;

Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E of
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau), we will determine whether an
error occurred within ten (10) Business
Days after we hear from you, inform you whether an error occurred and will
correct any error within one Business
Day. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days
to investigate. If we decide to do this,
we will provisionally credit your Account within ten (10) Business Days
after receiving your notice for the amount
you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the
time it takes us to complete our
investigation. We will notify you of the amount and date of the provisional
credit within two Business Days of
providing the provisional credit to you. If we ask you to put your inquiry
in writing and we do not receive it within
ten (10) Business Days, we may not credit your Account. If the Bank has
provided a provisional credit to your
Account in the amount of the claimed error, and after investigation the Bank
determines that no error was made,
then the Bank will notify you within three (3) Business Days that the Bank
will reverse the provisional credit.
However, the Bank will continue to honor checks, drafts, similar items and
preauthorized transfers for five (5)
Business Days following the notice of its intention to reverse the
provisional credit. The Bank will tell you the
results within three (3) Business Days after completing our investigation.
The Bank will correct the error within one
Business Day after the Bank determines an error occurred. If the Bank
decides that there was no error, the Bank
will send you a written explanation of our findings within three (3)
Business Days. You may ask for copies of the
documents that the Bank used in making its determination. For alleged errors
occurring within thirty (30) days of
first deposit into new Accounts, point-of-sale or foreign-initiated
transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days
to investigate your complaint or question. For alleged errors occurring
within thirty (30) days of first deposit into
new Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) Business Days to credit your
Account for the amount you think is in
error.

8. Confidentiality and Data Protection
A. It is our general policy to treat your Account information as
confidential. The Bank will take reasonable measures
to prevent the dissemination of information furnished to you through the
Internet Banking Services concerning
your Accounts, but has no means of controlling communication by means of the
Internet or any other
telecommunications service you may use to access the Services and cannot
guarantee that such information will
not be intercepted.
The Bank and its Service Providers may collect, process, and transmit data
obtained from and about you in the
course of your accessing and using the Internet Banking Services. You agree
that any information on the
Bank's records may be disclosed to our Service Providers and to third
parties as designated by you in
compliance with our procedures, your Account Agreement, or as required or
permitted by law or regulation,
including without limitation:
i. where it is necessary for completing transfers or other transactions or
to send notice of dishonor or
nonpayment;
ii. where it is necessary for activating or providing additional services
requested by you;
iii. when it is necessary, in the normal course of business, to verify the
existence and condition of your Account
for a third party, such as a credit bureau, merchant or financial
institution;

otherwise furnish information required
by law;

C. You acknowledge and agree that the operation of the Internet Banking
Services may require the transfer of
personal data concerning you to and between countries some of which may not
have the same legal protections
regarding bank customer information as the United States. It may be that, in
various jurisdictions, including your
home jurisdiction and the jurisdictions where Service Providers are located,
the presence of account information
on your PC or on "servers" located in such jurisdictions will give the
governmental authorities and courts therein
greater legal or practical ability to obtain such information. You agree
EFTA01413089
that the Bank shall not be responsible for
any consequences of the foregoing.
D. For more information regarding our privacy policy and practices, you can

9. Payment and Transfer Limitations
A. Transfers from Money Market and Savings Accounts
Federal regulation limits the numbers of preauthorized electronic funds
transfers and telephone transfers including
Internet Banking transactions from money market deposits and savings
accounts. Such limitations are further
described in the Account Agreement. You are limited to six (6) preauthorized
electronic fund transfers, telephone
transfers, checks and point-of-sale transactions per statement cycle from
such Accounts. Each transfer or
payment from money market and savings Accounts will count toward the total
of six (6) transfers or withdrawals
permitted per month.
B. We may accept deposits to your Account from any source and need not
question the authority of the person
to make the deposit. All deposits (including transfers) are subject to later
verification, adjustment and collection
by us.
C. Payments will be directed to designated payees only to the extent that
there are sufficient available funds (as
more fully described in our Funds Availability Policy set forth in the
Account Agreement) to cover the request
and/or the payment when made. We are not obligated to allow you to overdraw
your Account beyond the balance
and overdraft line of credit available. If we do allow an overdraft, we are
not obligated to continue to allow you to
do so.
D. We may place (and adjust) daily dollar limits on the amount that may be
transferred at any time, and from time to
time, for any reason or for no reason. We will inform you of such limits.
Except as otherwise imposed by law, we
will have no liability for refusal to process a payment or transfer that
exceeds such daily dollar limits.
E. We may reject a payment or transfer at any time and from time to time,
for any reason or for no reason. Except as
otherwise imposed by law, we will have no liability for refusal.

EFTA01413090
F. If a payment describes the beneficiary or beneficiary's bank
inconsistently by name and account or bank number,
execution of the payment request will occur on the basis of the account and
bank number, even if it identifies a
person different from the named beneficiary or bank, and your obligation to
pay the amount of the payment
request to us is not excused in such circumstances.
G. The Internet Banking Services may not be used in violation of and must
comply with the laws of, the United
States, including economic sanctions laws administered by the Office of
Foreign Asset Controls.
H. You agree that we may seek to recover any payment originated in error or
made by you in violation of any
provision of this Agreement or otherwise to prevent loss to us. You agree to
assist us in loss mitigation efforts,
including authorizing ACH debit or other reversing entries or instructions
in your name.
I. A Payment Order or request for other transaction is deemed to be received
by us only when actually received by
us and in the form or context specified by us. You agree that we have a
reasonable time to react to Payment
Orders and other requests. We may acknowledge it by email or online by means
of a summary message log,
depending on the particular Internet Banking Service. Unless you promptly
notify us of a problem with a Payment
Order or any transaction confirmation, you will be deemed to have approved
the accuracy and completeness of
the information contained in the confirmation.
10. Payment Amendments and Cancellations
You may not amend or cancel a payment order after it has been received and
processed by us.
11. Preauthorized Payments (For Consumer Electronic Funds Transfers Only)
A. Right to Stop Payment and Procedures for Doing So
If you have directed us in advance to make regular payments out of your
Account or if you have authorized
someone to make preauthorized debits from your Account, you can stop any of
these payments. Please call us at
1-866-362-4796 at least three (3) Business Days before the payment is
scheduled to be made. You can also
notify the Bank in writing at the following address in time for the Bank to
receive your request at least three (3)
Business Days before the payment is scheduled to be made: Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas, Banking
Services Team, 345 Park Avenue, MS NYC20-0108, New York, NY 10154. If you
call, we will also require you to
put your request in writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after
you call. Your stop payment on a
preauthorized debit will be effective solely for a single transaction unless
you notify us that you have revoked your
authorization to the originator. If you wish to stop all future
preauthorized debits from that originator, you must give
EFTA01413091
the originator a written notice revoking your authorization.
B. Notice of Varying Amounts
If preauthorized payments out of your Account vary in amount, the person
being paid should tell you, ten (10) days
before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may
choose instead (by agreement with
payee) to get that notice only when the payment would differ by more than a
certain amount from the previous
payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.
C. Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer
If you order us to stop one of these payments three (3) Business Days or
more before the date the payment is
scheduled and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages,
subject to Section 6(B)(ii) above. In
no event will the Bank be liable for special, punitive or consequential
damages.

payment amount will be debited from,
or charged to the account that you designate on the scheduled delivery date.
If the scheduled delivery date is
a weekend or non-bank business day, then the delivery date will be the prior
bank business day.
ii. When you attempt to schedule a payment, we will inform you of the
earliest available delivery date. To assure
timely payment and obtain the full benefit of the Service Guarantee, you
must schedule payments and your
Account must be in good standing at least four (4) bank Business Days before
the payment due date. If you
do not, or if for any reason your Account is not in good standing, you will
be fully responsible for all late fees,
finance charges or other action taken by the Biller.
iii. You may schedule payments up to 364 days in the future.
iv. You may schedule payments to occur on a regular basis: weekly, bi-
weekly, monthly, bi-monthly,
semi-monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
C. The Service Guarantee
Due to circumstances beyond our control, particularly delays in handling and
posting payments by Billers or
financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to
your Account. We will bear responsibility
for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment post
after its Due Date as long as the
payment was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines above under "Bill
Payment Scheduling."
D. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance
i. By providing us with names and account information of Billers to whom you
wish to direct payments, you
authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions that we receive through the
payment system. In order to
process payments more efficiently and effectively, we may edit or alter
payment data or data formats in
accordance with Biller directives. When we receive a Payment Instruction,
you authorize us to debit your
Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as
close as reasonably possible to
the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You also authorize us to
credit your Payment Account for
payments returned to us by the United States Postal Service or Biller, or
payments remitted to you on behalf
of another authorized user of the Bill Payment Service. We will use our best
efforts to make all your payments
properly. However, we shall incur no liability and any Service Guarantee
shall be void if we are unable to
complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one
or more of the circumstances
described in Section 6 above.
EFTA01413093
ii. Provided none of the exceptions identified in Section 6 above are
applicable, if we cause an incorrect amount
of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or cause funds from your
Payment Account to be
directed to a Biller who does not comply with your Payment Instructions, we
shall be responsible for returning
the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing
to the proper Biller any previously
misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related
charges.

behalf to your Biller. These payment

also be sent via the Bill

G. Payment Cancellation Requests
You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments)
by following the online directions
within the Bill Payment Service application There is no charge for
canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment.
Once we have begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited,
therefore a stop payment request
must be submitted if applicable or allowed by contacting the Banking Service
Team at 1-866-362-4796.
H. Stop Payment Requests
Our ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment
method and whether or not a check has
cleared. Also, we may not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop
payment request after a payment has
been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been
processed, you must contact the
Banking Service Team at 1-866-362-4796. Although we will make every effort
to accommodate your request, we
will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to
present your request in writing within ten (10)
days. The charge for each stop payment request is $10.00. The charge for
stop payment requests will be applied
whenever any Bill Payment is stopped at your request, because you submitted
an incorrect Biller address or
because you request a refund on a check that has not yet cleared. The charge
will not be assessed if the payment
is stopped due to an error by the Bank or its Service Provider, the payment
was not posted by the Biller even
EFTA01413094
though you correctly submitted the Biller address or if the check was lost
in the mail.

occurs, your request can be
communicated to the Bank by telephone instructions. The Cutoff time for us
to receive a stop-payment request is
4:00 p.m. New York time on a Business Day and a stop payment request
received after that time will be

period of time following receipt of
a stop payment request to act on it.

applies to any late payment related
changes is void when Government Payments are scheduled and/or processed by
the Bill Payment Service. We
shall have no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from a
Government Payment. All research and
resolution for any misapplied, misposted or misdirected Government Payments
will be the sole responsibility of
you and not of us.
K. Biller Limitation
We reserve the right to refuse to pay any Biller to whom you may direct a
payment. The Bank will notify you
promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a Biller designated by you. This

iii. Biller is unable to locate account; or
iv. Biller account is paid in full.

payment and return it to your Biller, but
may not be able to do so or may be able to do so only after delay. You agree
that we are not responsible for
losses or damages you may suffer as a result. We may at our option at any
time simply void the payment and
credit your Payment Account, either with or without efforts to correct
payment information. We may, but are not
required to, notify you in the event a payment has been voided.
M. Information Authorization
EFTA01413096

i. The authenticity of all ACH Instructions is subject to verification by
the Bank pursuant to the security

you, and that all information contained in the ACH Instructions is correct
and complete. You shall comply with
the requirements of the security procedure set forth in Section 3 above with
respect to ACH Instructions

communications. No security procedure
for the detection of any such error has been agreed upon between you and the
Bank. When the Bank acts in
accordance with the security procedure in processing an ACH Instruction,
such ACH Instruction will be
effective as if authorized by you, even though such ACH Instruction has not
been authorized by you and you
agree to pay the amount of such ACH Instruction, and to hold the Bank
harmless and otherwise waive any
and all claims against the Bank with respect to any such ACH Instruction.
ii. Requests for cancellation, reversal or return of ACH Instructions shall
be made by fax or email, and shall be

i. credit the Account(s) with the total amount of each batch of debit
Entries (as defined below) resulting from

debited under the ACH operating
regulations (the "Settlement Date") or
b. with respect to credit Entries resulting from ACH Instructions, up to two
Business Days before the
Settlement Date. You agree that the Account(s) will be fully funded in
EFTA01413098

made to the Account(s) at such time as the Bank charges the Account(s) in
accordance with the previous
sentence. As used herein, "Entry" or "Entries" means an electronic item(s)
representing the transfer of
funds in the ACH that originates from one or more ACH Instructions.

and posts them to the accounts of its depositors (Receivers). Subject to:
applicable U.S. laws and regulations;
ii.
iii.
the terms of this Agreement, including this Section 13;
the terms and conditions of the Account Agreement; and
iv. availability of funds in the Account(s); the Bank agrees to execute all
ACH Instructions; provided, however
that the Bank may refrain from executing any ACH Instruction if the Bank
believes that such ACH Instruction
may not have been authorized by you. Acceptance of an ACH Instruction shall
not be deemed to be a waiver
by the Bank of any of the conditions or reservations referred to in the
preceding sentence. You agree that,
except to the extent provided by applicable law and consistent with Section
6(6)(i) above, the Bank, other
members of the Deutsche Bank Group, their Service Providers and their
respective officers, directors,
employees and agents, shall not be liable for any losses, damages,
liabilities or costs suffered or incurred by
you or any third party as a result of:
a. the Bank's executing ACH Instructions;
b. the improper execution, delayed execution or non-execution of any ACH
Instruction because of unclear
instructions, legal restrictions, governmental interference, failure of
communications media, the insolvency
of any ACH or other party to a transaction covered by this Section 13;
c. your acts or omissions (including without limitation the amount,
accuracy, timeliness of transmittal or
authorization of any ACH Instruction received from you);
d. the acts or omissions of any other person, including without limitation
any Federal Reserve Bank,
Automated Clearing House or transmission or communications facility, any
Receiver or RDFI (including
without limitation the return of an Entry by such Receiver or RDFI);
e. any other events or circumstances beyond the Bank's control, including
but not limited to acts of God, acts
of war, acts of terrorism, natural or man-made disaster, machine or computer
breakdown; or

f. any other acts or omissions of the Bank (or of any of its agents or
correspondents) relating to this Section
13 or the transactions or activities contemplated hereby except to the
extent, if any, that such other acts or
omissions constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Bank.
The Bank shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any agents or
correspondents selected by you. Consistent
with Section 6(6)(i) above, in no event shall the Bank, other members of the
Deutsche Bank Group, their Service
Providers and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, be
liable for special, indirect, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages, whether or not the likelihood of such
damages was known or contemplated by
such parties and regardless of the legal or equitable theory of liability
which you may assert, including, without
limitation, loss or damage from subsequent wrongful dishonor resulting from
the Bank's acts or omissions under
this Section 13. Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Bank's liability
for loss of interest resulting from its error or
delay shall be calculated by using a rate equal to the average Federal Funds
rate at the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York for the period involved.
E. Reliance on Account Number
You acknowledge and agree that, if an ACH Instruction describes the Receiver
inconsistently by name and
account number, payment of the Entry transmitted by the Bank to the RDFI may
be made by the RDFI (or by the
Bank in the case of an on-us ACH Instruction) on the basis of the account
number supplied by you, even if the
ACH Instruction identifies a person different from the named Receiver, and
that your obligation to pay the amount
of the ACH Instruction to the Bank is not excused in such circumstances.
F. Examination of Advices and Statements
The Bank will send you a periodic statement or advice showing ACH-related
debits and credits to your Account(s).
If you have enrolled in the eStatement Service, you will receive such
statements electronically in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth in Section 19 below unless subject to
Regulation E. You agree to exercise
ordinary care to determine whether you believe that a statement contains an
ACH-related error, and you agree to
notify the Bank of such error within 30 days after the Bank provides you
with or otherwise makes available to you
information sufficient to identify the transaction relating to the deemed
error. Unless subject to Regulation E, you
agree that:
if you fail to make such notification within such thirty (30) day period,
the Bank will not be liable for any other
losses resulting from your failure to give such notice or any loss of
interest or any interest equivalent with
EFTA01413101
respect to an ACH Instruction reflected on such periodic statement; and
ii. your right to assert a claim against the Bank with respect to any
transaction reasonably identified in a
statement, advice or other information provided or made available to you by
the Bank shall expire within thirty
(30) days of the date that such statement, advice or other information was
first provided or otherwise made
available to you.
G. Certain Representations and Warranties; Indemnity
With respect to each and every ACH Instruction, you represent and warrant to
the Bank and agree that:
i. each person shown as the Receiver on an ACH Instruction received by Bank
from you has authorized the
initiation of such ACH Instruction and the crediting or debiting of its
account in the amount and on the
effective entry date shown on such ACH Instruction;
ii. such authorization is operative at the time of transmittal, crediting
and/or debiting by the Bank as
provided herein;
iii. you shall perform your obligations under this Agreement, including this
Section 13 in accordance with all
applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the
sanctions laws administered by the Office of
Foreign Assets Control; and
iv. you shall be bound by and comply with all rules of the applicable
clearinghouse, as in effect from time to time,
including but not limited to the provision making payment of an Entry by the
RDFI to the Receiver provisional
until receipt by the RDFI of final settlement for such Entry.
You specifically acknowledge that you have received notice of the rule
regarding provisional payment and of the
fact that, if such settlement is not received, the RDFI shall be entitled to
a refund from the Receiver of the amount
credited and that you shall not be deemed to have paid the Receiver the
amount of the corresponding Entry.
Consistent with Section 22 below, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold
the Bank, other members of the
Deutsche Bank Group, their Service Providers and their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents,
harmless from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense
(including attorneys' fees and expenses),
suit or other action or proceeding, or claim resulting from or arising out
of any breach by you of this Section 13, or
the Bank's having executed any ACH Instructions or otherwise having
performed any of its obligations hereunder,
except to the extent of the Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Any overdraft arising in the Account(s)
shall become subject, at the Bank's sole option, to a lien and subject to be
set off against the balance of any of
your other accounts with the Bank.

confidential or sensitive information via any general or public email
system. You agree that we may respond
to your email communications by use of the Internet Banking Service email
feature with regard to matters
related to the Internet Banking Service.
ii. While access to the Bank through the email function of the Internet
Banking Services is "online," messages
sent to the Bank through email are not reviewed by Bank personnel
immediately after they are sent. Rather,
Bank personnel will review email messages periodically throughout each
business day. If immediate attention
is required, you must contact the Bank by telephone or in person or through
some other procedure not using
the Internet Banking Services. Your email messages may be acted upon by the
Bank if received in a manner
and in a time providing the Bank a reasonable opportunity to act.
Nevertheless, unless otherwise provided
herein, email messages will not serve as a substitute for any requirement
imposed on you to provide the Bank
with "written" notice.
