Use of Your Password
When you or any authorized user signs on to The Exchange Bank Online Banking using your Customer ID and password, you authorize us to follow the instructions we receive relating to your accounts and to charge and credit your accounts according to those instructions. Since your password is the principal security measure to protect access to your accounts, you agree that you will not give your password or make it available to any unauthorized person. If you do give your password or make it available to another person, you authorize that person to access your accounts through The Exchange Bank Online Banking and to give us The Exchange Bank Online Banking instructions relating to your accounts as an authorized user. You also authorize us to comply with those instructions even if that person exceeds your authorization.
Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or regulation, you will be deemed to have expressly authorized any The Exchange Bank Online Banking transaction 1) initiated by you, at your direction, or with your consent (whether expressed or implied), 2) initiated by an agent with respect to any account which you may access through The Exchange Bank Online Banking, 3) initiated by a member of your household, whether or not related to you, 4) initiated by any person (or that person's agent) who is the owner or co-owner of any account which you may access through The Exchange Bank Online Banking, 5) which results in the transfer of funds between accounts you may access through The Exchange Bank Online Banking, even if subsequent transfers out of the accounts benefit someone else, 6) which is to or for your benefit (for example, the payment of a debt for which you are partially or fully liable), or 7) which you contend is unauthorized, unless you cooperate fully with us in our investigation of the transaction, assign to us your right of recovery against the wrongdoer if we reconstitute your account, and cooperate fully with us in the recovery of any loss we sustain and the prosecution of any wrongdoer.

Account
Information
You may use The Exchange Bank Online Banking to obtain balance information and transaction histories for certain deposit and loan accounts. Balance information and transaction histories reported through The Exchange Bank Online Banking may not include transactions, which have occurred since the close of business on the previous banking day. Balance information shown for your deposit accounts may include Current Balance and Available Balance. These balance amounts may differ. The Available Balance provides the most current balance information. Transaction history information is available for your current statement cycle plus the previous two statement cycles.
Transfers Between
Exchange Bank Accounts
The Exchange Bank Online Banking permits you to transfer funds from a deposit account or from your equity line of credit account to any other deposit account, a line of credit or credit card, and installment loans you can access through The Exchange Bank Online Banking. The "transfer date" is the date you enter for the transfer of funds from one account to another. Transfer of funds from a deposit account or HELOC to another deposit account will generally be processed simultaneously on the transfer date regardless of the day or time of the transfer. For example, if you transfer funds from Account A to Account B, the funds will be debited from Account A and credited to the available balance in Account B simultaneously on the transfer date. The funds will be available immediately upon the transfer for withdrawal from Account B through an ATM or debit card transaction or at a teller window, and will also be available to honor checks or other items presented for payment against Account B in the nightly processing following the transfer. Transfers of funds from a deposit or HELOC to a loan account will be processed as follows: 1) the transfer will be debited from your deposit account/HELOC when we execute the transfer on the transfer date (regardless of the day or time we receive your instructions); and 2) the transfer will be credited to your loan account during our nightly processing of the loan account. The transfer will be credited to your loan account on the transfer date if 1) the transfer date you designate is a business day, and 2) we receive your instruction to transfer the funds to your loan account no later than 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the transfer date. If you designate a non-business day as the transfer date, or if we receive your transfer instructions after 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the transfer date, the transferred funds will be credited to your loan account as of the next business day following the transfer date.
You are permitted to change or cancel any future or recurring transfer instructions you have given us using The Exchange Bank Online Banking. To do so, you must enter your change/cancellation instructions through The Exchange Bank Online Banking and transmit the information to us prior to 9:00p.m. Eastern Time on the transfer date.
Bill
Payment Service
The Bill Payment Service feature of The Exchange Bank Online Banking allows you to instruct us to pay bills designated by you in accordance with the instructions we provide you. Your Bill Payment Service transactions will be processed for the Bank by CheckFree Corporation ("CheckFree"), a major provider of electronic banking transaction processing services. References to "we" and "us" in this section refer to both the Bank and CheckFree. In addition to this Agreement, you may have to agree to CheckFree's terms and conditions to access and/or use any of The Exchange Bank Online Banking services processed for the Bank by CheckFree.
a.
Payment Instructions. In General. In designating a payee for bill payment, you must provide us with detailed "payment instructions," including the payee's name and address, your account number (if any) with the payee, the payment amount, the "payment date" (as defined in subsection c. below), and the frequency of payments. You authorize us to follow your payment instructions and to rely on the accuracy of all information you provide. Payment instructions we receive from you are not processed instantaneously; rather, your instructions are processed with other transactions affecting your account during our nightly processing of your account after the close of each banking day. Payment instructions received on a non-business day or after 3:00 p.m. on a business day will not be processed or considered received until the next business day. Payment will be made, and your account will be charged, according to the provisions set forth below. We reserve the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to the payee. Payment methods may include, but are not limited to, an electronic payment, an electronic to check payment, or a laser draft payment.
b.
Designation of Payees. Before we can pay a bill for you, you must set up the payee on the Service. Because it may take several days to complete set-up processing, you must provide us with payment instructions for a new payee (or to reestablish a payee you previously deleted from your payee list) at least five business days before the first payment date you designate for that payee. The payment of taxes, payments into court, and payments to payees located outside the continental United States through Bill payment service are prohibited, whether or not the Bill payment service executes the transaction. You will be solely responsible for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of these types of payments or from any payments to prohibited payees, whether or not we refuse to make the payment or the payment is delayed or improperly processed. We reserve the right to refuse to pay any person or entity to which you may direct a payment. We will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to pay a person or entity designated by you; however, we are not required to notify you regarding a prohibited payee or any payment prohibited under this Agreement.
c. Payments. The "payment date" that you enter with your payment instructions is the date you want the payee to receive your payment and also is the date we will charge your account for the amount of the payment. We must receive your payment instructions for a particular payment at least four business days before the payment date you designate. If we receive your payment instructions less than four business days before the payment date, we may not make the payment. In order to ensure adequate time for the payee to receive the payment, the "payment date" you enter must be (1) at least four business days after the date you enter your payment instructions and (2) no later than the date you want the payee to receive the payment ("the payment due date"). Some payees require payment to be received before 5 p.m. on the payment due date; in this case, the payment date you enter must be at least one business day before the actual payment due date. The payment date you specify must be a business day. If the actual payment due date falls on a non-business day, you must select a payment date that is at least one business day before the payment due date. If you specify a payment date that is not a business day, we will consider the immediately previous business day as the payment date, and we will charge your account on that date. The payment date you enter with your payment instructions should be prior to any late date or grace period. If your payment instructions do not meet all of these requirements, you bear the risk that the payee will not receive your payment by the payment due date, and you will be responsible for any and all late fees, penalties, finance charges and other actions taken by the payee.
d.
Bill Pay Account. All bills paid through the Bill payment service must be paid from the checking or savings account you have designated. You authorize us to charge your checking or savings account according to your payment instructions. You agree that you will have funds available in your checking or savings account for each payment by 3:00 p.m. on the payment date you have designated in your payment instructions.
If you do not have sufficient funds in your designated account to cover the transaction, the transaction may not be completed or, in our discretion and without notice to you, we may complete the transaction with the payee and make additional attempts to debit your account for the amount plus associated service fees and charges or otherwise seek recovery of the amount and service fees and charges from you. In either event, you are responsible and agree to reimburse us for all insufficient funds and related service fees and charges, and you remain liable to us for all funds we have advanced plus applicable service fees and charges until we are paid in full. If we are unable to complete the payment transaction according to your payment instructions for other reasons (such as incomplete or inaccurate information), the transaction will not be completed. We will attempt to notify you by e-mail or US mail, but we shall have no obligation or liability if we do not complete a transfer or payment because there are insufficient funds in your account to process the transaction or because of incomplete or inaccurate information, and you are responsible for either making alternate arrangements for the payment or rescheduling the payment through Bill Payment services.
e.
Limitations.We are only responsible for exercising ordinary care in processing and sending payments upon your authorization in accordance with this Agreement. We will not be liable in any way for damages you incur if you do not have sufficient funds in your account to make the payment on the processing date, for delays in mail delivery, for changes to the payee's address or account number unless you have advised us of the change sufficiently in advance, for the failure of any payee to correctly account for or credit the payment in a timely manner, if you have not provided correct payment information, if you have been advised that the payment processing center is not working properly but you execute a transaction anyway, or for any other circumstances beyond our control.
f.
Warranty Disclaimer. The Bill payment service is provided "AS IS" without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

Once the Bill Payment Service has started processing your payment, the payment cannot be changed or cancelled, and you must submit a stop payment request in the manner provided in the Service or in your Deposit Account Agreement.

If you terminate a Bill Payment service, you authorize us to continue making fund transfers, bill payments or other transactions you had previously authorized until we have a reasonable opportunity to act upon your termination notice. If you are not paying a monthly service charge for the service, we may convert your account to inactive status if you do not sign on to the service or have any transactions scheduled through the service during any consecutive ninety day period. If your account is considered inactive, you must contact us to have the service activated before you will be able to schedule any transaction through the service.

In addition, CheckFree may terminate your access to the Bill payment service without prior notice to you, with or without cause.
