By signing an application or by using your Card or Check Card or by using an EFT, you agree to the rules in this Agreement for the type of EFT service that you use. You also agree that you will not use your Card or Check Card, PIN or any EFT Service to conduct any illegal transaction or to pay for an illegal purchase. You understand that we may cancel your ability to conduct EFTs if we have reason to believe that you have used your Card or Check Card, PIN or any EFT Service for any illegal activity. Ill. LIMITATION. We may limit the type and form of Account to or from which we will allow EFTs. (a) ATM Transactions. You may withdraw from ATMs no more than $ in cash per calendar day per Card or Check Card. You may pay for purchases and make withdrawals totaling up to $ per calendar day per Check Card at POS terminals. (b) Check Card Purchases. In addition to the $ ATM withdrawal limit from your Card or Check Card per calendar day, if your card is a Check Card you can use your Check Card to make purchases up to a maximum limit of $2, per Card per day. You cannot use your Check Card for a MasterCard merchant transaction if the amount of the transaction would exceed your daily authorization limit. Each time you use your Check Card at a MasterCard merchant, this daily authorization limit is reduced by the amount authorized for the transaction. When you make a MasterCard Check Card purchase, you authorize us to put a hold against the available balance of your Account for the total dollar amount of the authorization. The hold will be maintained for a maximum period of four (4) business days. For example, a $ MasterCard Merchant Purchase will reduce your available account balance by $ for a maximum period of 4 business days. This period will be shorter if the purchase amount is automatically debited from your Account prior to the end of the 4 business day hold. If a purchase is completed after 6:00 p.m. EST, the first day of the hold will be the next business day. When the transaction has cleared, the funds on which we have placed a hold will be debited from your Account. The dollar amount of the hold is based on the amount of the authorization requested. For some merchants, the amount of the authorization requested may be more than the amount of the purchase. For example, if you use your MasterCard Check Card to make a $12.50 gasoline purchase at a gas station, the station may request a $ authorization. You agree that we are not responsible if we dishonor other POS, ATM, check or any other transactions drawn on your Account based on a MasterCard Check Card purchase. (c) International Check Card Transactions. If you effect a transaction with your Check Card in a currency other than U.S. dollars, MasterCard International Incorporated will convert the charge into a U.S. dollar amount. MasterCard International will use its currency conversion procedure, which is disclosed to institutions that issue MasterCard Check Cards. Currently the currency conversion rate used by MasterCard International to determine the transaction amount in U.S. dollars for such transactions is generally either a government mandated rate or a wholesale rate determined by MasterCard International for the processing cycle in which the transaction is processed, increased by an adjustment factor established from time to time by MasterCard International. The currency conversion rate used by MasterCard International on the processing date may differ from the rate that would have been used by MasterCard International on the purchase date of the cardholder statement posting date. For security reasons, there are other limits on the number of transfers you can make using our ATMs. During a malfunction of our ATMs, our computer system or the ATM system, we may limit the dollar amount and types of EFTs you can make including the types of Accounts you can access at our ATMs. Other limitations: Transfers from Savings or Money Market Accounts to another account or to a third party by preauthorized, automatic, telephone, or computer transfer are limited by law to six transfers per statement cycle. 13

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us AT ONCE. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods. (b) Special Rule for MasterCard Check Cards.

If all of these conditions are not met, your liability for unauthorized Check Card transactions will be determined by the other provisions of subsection (a) of this Section XII. ( (c) If you use the Check Card deactivation feature described in Section VIII when you think your Check Card has been lost, we will consider your deactivation of your Check Card as notice to us that your Check Card has been lost for purposes of this Section XII.
