V.Telebanc
a.  Functions and Limitations of the Telephone Banking System
The automated telephone banking system is a computerized and automated system allowing limited information and certain transaction capabilities by the use of a touch tone telephone. To use the system you must call a telephone number specified by the Bank and enter your personal identification number (PIN), personally selected by you, as prompted by and within the limiting parameters of the system. You are responsible for safeguarding knowledge and use of this PIN and recognize and accept the risks of another accessing your accounts if they become aware of your PIN.

The system is designed to allow you to inquire about account balances for those accounts on which you are an authorized signer. The Bank does not maintain balances on a "real time" basis, meaning that account balances are generally updated only one time for each business day. Transactions affecting your account balances must be posted by the Bank and the system must be updated before such transaction reports will be available to you through the Telebanc system.

Subject to certain limitations, you may transfer balances between certain accounts and initiate certain payments to some loan accounts with the Bank. You may also place stop payment on checks issued on certain accounts. Restricted from the transaction functions of the automated system are certain accounts deemed "non-transactional accounts" and certain selected accounts with Bank imposed limitations.

b.  Bank Liability
The Bank is responsible only for the exercise of good faith in the reasonable operation and maintenance of the automated telephone banking system. The Bank will not be liable for the non-performance or malfunction of this system. The Bank will not be liable for any damages, including but not limited to consequential damages you sustain and resulting from the malfunction or nonperformance of the system, except to the extent of correcting actual errors. The Bank will not be liable for any other circumstances beyond its control.

c.  Customer Liability
You are responsible to safeguard your personal identification number (PIN) which you will use to access the system. This is best accomplished by restricting knowledge of your PIN to only yourself. You agree to hold the Bank harmless for any unauthorized use of your PIN or this service by another. You must promptly notify the Bank if your PIN has been lost, obtained by someone you have not authorized, or if you are aware of any errors or unauthorized transactions on your accounts.

You should call the Bank immediately; toll free at 1-877-446-4200 between the hours of 9:00 am and 7:00 pm (Eastern Time), Monday through Friday. Failure to contact the Bank will significantly increase your risk of financial loss as outlined in the Unauthorized Transfers portion of the Electronic Fund Transfers: Your Rights and Responsibilities brochure included in the Personal Account Disclosures. If you believe your PIN has been lost or stolen, please use the PIN change feature within the Telebanc system to change your PIN.

the Additional Layers of Authentication used with the Online Banking Service. You should not under any circumstance disclose your password or additional layers of authentication in writing, verbally, by telephone or by any other means to anyone claiming to represent the Bank. Bank employees do not need and should not ask for your password or additional layers of authentication. If, despite the Bank"s advice, you give your password and/or additional layers of authentication to anyone, you do so at your own risk since anyone to whom you give your password, additional layers of authentication or other means of access will have full access to your account(s) even if you attempt to limit that person"s authority.
