ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
YOU AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTROLS YOUR ACCOUNT(S) WITH EMBARCADERO FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, TOGETHER WITH ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT SUCH AS OUR FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY AND ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER AGREEMENT AND/OR AGREEMENTS AND DISCLOSURES, ALL OF WHICH, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, ARE INCORPORATED INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY REFERENCE.

JOINT ACCOUNTS. If Your Account is owned jointly, then all funds on deposit are owned by any of the joint Owners. We can release or pay any amount on deposit in Your Account to any Owner. We can honor Checks, withdrawals, orders or requests from any Owner. All Owners are liable to Us for any overdrafts that may occur on Your Account, regardless of whether or not a benefit occurred. Any Owner may provide Us written notice to freeze funds on deposit and We may, at Our option, honor such written request. If We do, then the Account will remain frozen until We receive subsequent written notice signed by all Owners of the Account as to a disposition of funds on deposit. Any funds on deposit may be utilized to satisfy any debt or garnishment of any Owner of the Account. If the Owners of the Account hold the Account jointly as Tenants in Common and We receive notice that one of the Owners has died, We may freeze the Account until We receive evidence satisfactory to Us as to an appropriate disposition of funds on deposit in the Account. It is the responsibility of joint account Owners to determine any legal effects of opening and maintaining a joint account.

CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS. Any custodial account is subject to the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. It is Your responsibility to determine and understand any legal effects related to this type of Account.

TRUST ACCOUNTS. Trust Accounts will only be opened by the Credit Union if the Trust documentation presented by You to the Credit Union is in a manner acceptable to Our underwriting policies. We require all Trust Accounts to name a beneficiary. For Revocable Trust Accounts, the individual establishing the Trust (the "Settlor") must be a member of the Credit Union and, any withdrawal of Trust Account funds will be deemed a revocation of the Trust to the extent of any such withdrawal. If the Account Designation shows a payable on death status, any Beneficiary has rights to the Account only if alive and only if the Settlor is deceased. If the Beneficiary dies before the Settlor, the Trust is terminated. The Settlor may change the Beneficiary at any time by providing Us adequate proof of such change in a manner acceptable to the Credit Union. It is Your responsibility to determine and understand any legal effects related to this type of Account.

POWER OF ATTORNEY. If You name a person to act as Your attorney-in-fact or agent in any way with Your Account, We are only obligated to deal with such person if We, in Our sole judgment, approve of the form of appointment and the supporting documentation.

DEPOSIT OF ITEMS. You may make deposits to Your Account using any method available from Us, including deposits in person, by mail or electronic means. We have the right to refuse to accept any Check or instrument for deposit at Our sole discretion. If You deposit an item and it is returned unpaid, We will debit Your Account for the amount of the item and charge You a Returned Check Fee. You will be liable to Us for the amount of any item You deposit which is returned unpaid, and in addition, will be responsible for any of Our costs and expenses incurred in the collection of such returned item from You, including reasonable attorney fees. Subject to Our Funds Availability Policy, You may not be able to withdraw funds from Your Account until We have received final settlement for any items deposited. If You make a deposit on a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday, or after Our predetermined cutoff hour on business days, the deposit will be credited to Your Account as of the next business day.

COLLECTION OF ITEMS. In processing items You have deposited for collection, We are only Your agent and assume no responsibility beyond the exercise of ordinary care. Any item deposited is subject to final settlement in cash or credit. We may use any method We feel is appropriate to collect items, which may include use of a Federal Reserve Bank. We are not responsible for the acts of any third party We use for the collection of items including responsibility for lost items. If We use a local clearinghouse in the collection of items, You authorize Us to do so and to act in accordance with any applicable rules and regulations. We may permit You to withdraw funds from Your Account before final settlement has been made, however, if final settlement is not made, We have the right to charge Your Account or otherwise require You to repay such funds.

OVERDRAFT PROTECTION. To the extent permitted by law, You authorize Us to transfer funds from other accounts You may have with Us in necessary multiples (or in such increments as We may from time to time determine) to Your Account to cover any overdraft. If You have a line of credit with Us, transfers will be made either from Your line of credit up to Your available credit limit and/or from Your Primary Savings Account, provided You have enough available funds in that Account, depending upon the preference You have indicated to Us for clearing any such overdraft(s). Any overdraft transfers from Your Primary Savings Account may be subject to a transfer fee. You hold Us harmless from any and all liability which might otherwise exist if a transfer does not occur.

EXPENSES. If We incur any costs or expenses as a result of any attachment, garnishment or levy against Your Account, You will reimburse Us for such costs or expenses or We may charge them to Your Account.

INACTIVE OR DORMANT ACCOUNTS. Inactive Accounts (Accounts with no withdrawals or deposits within a one year period) may be subject to an Inactive Account Fee. We have no liability if Your Account becomes dormant and is therefore subject to escheatment in accordance with state and/or federal law.

LIEN IMPRESSMENT AND SET-OFF. You agree that We may impress and enforce a statutory lien upon Your Accounts with Us to the extent You owe Us any money and We may enforce Our right to do so without further notice to You. We have the right to set-off any of Your money or property in Our possession against any amount You owe Us. The right of set-off and Our impressed lien does not extend to any Keogh, IRA or similar tax deferred deposit You may have with Us. If Your Account is owned jointly, Our right of set-off and Our impressed lien extends to any amount owed to Us by any of the joint Owners.

MINIMUM BALANCE REQUIREMENTS, FEES AND SERVICE CHARGES. You agree to pay Us any applicable fees or charges, and are responsible for any minimum balance requirements and deposit requirements called for in Our Agreements and Disclosures provided to You when You opened Your Account. In any case and with proper notice to You, fees, charges, balance requirements and deposit requirements may be changed by Us from time to time.

NONSUFFICIENT FUNDS RETURNS. Any Check or pre-authorized transfer presented to Us for payment on Your Account when Your Account lacks sufficient collected funds to pay any such item may, at Our option, be returned for nonsufficient funds or We may honor any such item and charge You a fee for doing so.

SUSPENSION OF SERVICES. We have the right to suspend the benefit of any Credit Union service at any time for reasonable cause. At Our discretion, We also have the right to pay any Check presented for payment from Your Account after Your Account is closed or suspended and to recover such amount paid from You.

Account services are available to those members in good standing with the Credit Union. We reserve the right to cancel or suspend services to a member who is not in good standing, which includes members that have (a) a delinquent loan; (b) a Share Account balance below the $50.00 minimum; (c) an unresolved deposited returned Check; (d) any unpaid and uncollected fees; (e) a negative balance on an Account; or (F) caused a financial loss to the Credit Union.

STOP PAYMENTS. You may ask Us orally to stop payment on a Check. For any such request to remain valid, however, You must also supply Us with a written request within 14 days after You make any such oral request. Stop payment requests are also subject to the terms and conditions of the Order For Stop Payment form related to any such request. Your request must be given to Us in a timely manner so that We have a reasonable opportunity to act on Your request. A written stop payment request is effective for 6 months. If at the end of 6 months You request Us to continue the stop payment order, that request will be treated as a new request. We are not liable if We pay a Check which You have requested Us to stop payment on as long as We act in good faith and exercise ordinary care.

In any event, any damages that We might otherwise be liable for shall not exceed the amount of the involved Check. If We do pay a Check for which You have requested stop payment and as a result any other item is returned unpaid by Us due to nonsufficient funds, We are not liable for any consequences resulting from such action. If Your Account is a joint Account, any Owner of the Account may request a stop payment. Any release of a stop payment order must be made by the person who made the request. If You ask Us to stop payment on a pre-authorized transfer, Your request will be processed under the provisions of Our Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement with You. Stop payment requests are also subject to the terms and conditions of the Order For Stop Payment form related to any such request.

CHECKS AND OTHER ACCOUNT ACCESS DEVICES. Any Check or other Account access device which does not meet Our standards for acceptance may be rejected by Us, whether such standards are established by law, regulation or Our own policy.

POSTDATED, STALE OR OVERDRAFT CHECKS.
You understand that postdating a Check will have no effect on whether or not it is honored prior to or after the date of any such Check. A stale Check is any Check received by Us that is dated 6 months or more prior to the date of receipt. We may pay or refuse to pay any postdated, stale or overdraft Check, or other item presented for payment on Your Account without any liability.

CHECK SAFEKEEPING. Check Safekeeping is automatic on Your Account and Your cancelled checks will not be returned to You. If You specifically request and agree to pay any associated fees, copies of Your cancelled Checks will be provided to You. You understand that cancelled Checks retained by Us are later destroyed after a reasonable period of time. If You subsequently request a copy of a Check and We are unable to supply it, then We shall not be liable for any damage You may sustain in excess of the face amount of the involved Check.

PERIODIC STATEMENTS. You will be provided with a periodic statement showing activity on Your Account. If You believe any statement reflects discrepancies, You must notify Us of such discrepancies within 60 days from the date We mailed the statement to You. If the discrepancy noted is the result of an electronic funds transfer, then the provisions of Our Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement with You will control resolution of the matter.

AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may be amended by Us at any time, in which case We will provide You with a notice of amendment as required by law or regulation.

ORGANIZATIONAL, PARTNERSHIP OR CORPORATION ACCOUNTS.

Nature of Dividends. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period.

Withdrawal of Dividends Prior to Maturity. For all Share Certificate Accounts, the Annual Percentage Yield assumes dividends remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings.

Additional Transaction Limitations.

TRANSACTION SLIPS. You can get a receipt at the time You make any transaction to or from Your Account (except for telephonic, mail-in or Home Banking transactions). When an electronic transfer has been made during any given month, You will receive a monthly statement to reflect all electronic fund transfers to or from Your Account during that statement period. In any case, You will receive a statement at least quarterly.

FEES. We may assess reasonable charges against Your Account for transactions performed at electronic terminals. If so, We will specify any charges for these or other types of electronic transactions, including automatic transfers, on an accompanying pricing document. We will explain the charges to You when You open Your Account. We are not responsible for fees charged by ATM machines or other facilities that We do not own or operate. When You use an ATM not owned by Us, You may be charged a fee by the ATM operator, or any network used, and You may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if You do not complete a fund transfer.

LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE TRANSACTIONS. If We do not properly complete a transaction to or from Your Account according to this Agreement, We will be liable for Your losses or damages. However, We will not be liable if: (a) Your Account does not contain enough money to make the transaction through no fault of Ours; (b) the ATM where You are making the transfer does not have enough cash; (c) the terminal was not working properly and You knew about the breakdown when You started the transaction; (d) circumstances beyond Our control prevent the transaction; (e) Your Card is retrieved or retained by an ATM; or (F) Your Card, PIN, or Security Code has been reported lost or stolen and We have blocked the Account.

LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE. Telephone Us at once at (415) 765-6850 or write Us at 131 Franklin St., San Francisco, CA 94102 if You believe Your Card, PIN, or Security Code have been lost or stolen. If You tell Us within 2 business days, You can lose no more than $50 if someone uses Your Card, PIN or Security Code without Your permission. If You fail to tell Us within 2 business days after You learn of the loss or theft of Your Card, PIN or Security Code and We can prove that We could have stopped someone from using Your Card, PIN, or Security Code without Your permission if You had told Us, then You could lose as much as $500. Additionally, if Your periodic statement shows transfers that You didn't make, You will tell Us at once; if You fail to tell Us within 60 days after We mail You the periodic statement, You could lose the entire Account balance if We can prove We could have stopped someone from taking Your money if You had given Us notice in time. If a valid reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) keeps You from giving Us notice, We will extend the time periods. Exception: You will have no liability for unauthorized use for Your Checkmate Card as long as You report the loss or theft of Your Checkmate Card within two business days. If You report such loss or theft after two business days, or provide proper notification of other unauthorized Checkmate Card transactions, Your liability for unauthorized use will not exceed $50. These exceptions do not apply to transactions originating at an ATM or from Your gross negligence and/or fraudulent use of Your Checkmate Card.

IN CASE OF ERRORS OR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS. Telephone or write Us at the address and telephone number in this Agreement as soon as You can, if You think Your statement or receipt is wrong or if You need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from You no later than 60 days after We send You the first statement on which the problem or error appeared. Tell Us (a) Your name and Account number; (b) the dollar amount of the suspected error, describe the error or the transaction You are unsure about, and explain as clearly as You can why You believe there is an error or why You need more information. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after We hear from You and will correct any error promptly If We need more time, however, We may take up to 45 days to investigate Your complaint or question. If We decide to do this, We will credit Your Account within 10 business days 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. If We ask You to put Your complaint or question in writing and We do not receive it within 10 business days, We may not credit Your Account. We will tell You the results within three business days after completing Our investigation. If We decide that there was no error, We will send You a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that We used in Our investigation. If We have credited Your Account with funds while investigating an error, We will charge Your Account for those funds if We conclude no error has occurred. In this provision, all references to 10 business days will be 20 business days if Your notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that occurred within 30 days after the first deposit to Your Account was made and all references to 45 business days will be 90 business days if Your notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that: (a) was not initiated within a state; (b) resulted from a point-of-sale debit card transaction; or (c) if Your notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that occurred within 30 days after the first deposit to Your Account was made.

LOST OR STOLEN CARDS. To report a lost or stolen Card, PIN, or any combination thereof, You will call Us at (415) 765-6850. You must also write to Us at 131 Franklin St., San Francisco, CA 94102 to report the loss of a Card, PIN or Security Code.

DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION. We may disclose information to third parties about Your Account or transfers You make: (1) when it is necessary to complete an electronic transaction, or (2) in order to verify the existence and conditions of Your Account for a third party such as a credit bureau or merchant, or (3) in order to comply with a government agency or court order, or any legal process, or (4) if You give Us written permission.

TERMINATION. We may terminate Your right to use Your Card or PIN or cancel this Agreement at any time upon written notice. You may request termination of these services in writing.

CHANGE IN TERMS. We may change the terms and charges for the services shown in this Agreement and may amend this Agreement from time to time upon proper notice to You.

GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is controlled and governed by the laws of the State of California except to the extent that such laws are inconsistent with controlling Federal law.

FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY DISCLOSURE
This Disclosure describes Your ability to withdraw funds at the Embarcadero Federal Credit Union. You should also refer to the section of these Agreements and Disclosures that describes the details of Your specific Account type for additional information.

General Policy. Our general policy is to make funds from Your deposits available to You on the first business day after We receive Your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the same day of deposit. Once they are available, You can withdraw the funds and We will use the funds to pay checks that You have written. For determining the availability of Your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. If You make a deposit on a business day that We are open, We will consider that day to be the day of Your deposit. However, if You make a deposit after closing or on a day that We are not open, We will consider the deposit made on the next business day We are open.

Reservation of Right to Hold. In some cases, We will not make all the funds You deposit by check available to You on the first business day after We receive Your deposit. Depending on the type of check You deposit, funds may not be available until after the fifth business day following the day of Your deposit. However, for Checking Accounts, the first $100 of Your deposit will be available on the first business day following the day of Your deposit. If We are not going to make all the funds from Your deposit available on the same business day, We will notify You at the time You make Your deposit. We will also tell You when the funds will be available. If Your deposit is not made directly to one of Our employees, or if We decided to take this action after You have left the premises, We will mail You the notice by the next business day after We receive Your deposit. If You will need the funds from a deposit right away, You should ask Us when the funds will be available. Any request for payment against funds on which a hold has been placed will be returned unpaid.

Longer Delays May Apply. We may delay Your ability to withdraw funds deposited by check into Your Account an additional number of days for the following reasons:

  1. We believe a check You deposit will not be paid.
  2. You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day.
  3. You deposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
  4. You have overdrawn Your Account repeatedly in the last 6 months.
  5. There is an emergency, such as failure of communications or computer equipment.

We will notify You if We delay Your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and We will tell You when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the ninth business day after the day of Your deposit. In any case, We reserve the right to refuse an item for deposit or encashment.

Location of Check Endorsements. Federal law now requires all check endorsements to be in the first 1 1/2 inches of the trailing edge of the back of the check. The trailing edge is opposite the left side of the face of the check, the side of the check just behind Our address. You will be responsible for any costs incurred by Us due to delays in returning checks deposited into Your Account that do not comply with the endorsement standards

Special Rules for New Accounts. If You are a new member, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 calendar days Your Account is open. Funds from electronic direct deposits to Your Account will be available on the day We receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,000 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's and federal, state, and local government checks will be available on the next business day after the day of Your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to You. The excess over $5,000 will not be available until the second business day after the day of Your deposit. Funds from all other check deposits will be available no later than the ninth business day of Your deposit. Further delays may apply.

Dividend Payment Policy. See the Account Disclosures section in this brochure for Our policy on the payment of dividends.

WIRE TRANSFER AGREEMENT
THESE ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHENEVER YOU REQUEST A TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM OR TO YOUR SAVINGS OR CHECKING ACCOUNTS ("ACCOUNT") WITH US BASED UPON YOUR ORAL OR WRITTEN REQUEST. WE WILL PROVIDE WIRE TRANSFER SERVICES AS A MEANS TO INITIATE DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS FOR YOU, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH YOU AGREE TO BY SIGNING YOUR APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP WITH US AT THE TIME THAT YOUR ACCOUNT WAS ESTABLISHED.

  1. 1. We are authorized to charge Your Account for the payment of wire transfer requests. If more than one Account(s) is designated, We may charge any of the designated Accounts unless You give Us specific written directions otherwise. Your transfer requests may involve the transfer of funds from any of Your designated Accounts with Us to another account You have with Us, to any other financial institution, or to a third party or account of a third party maintained with Us or any other financial institution. There are no restrictions or limitations on the amounts which may be ordered or requested, or on the location or address of the beneficiary of a transfer unless You give Us written instructions to the contrary.
  2. The party(ies) named in Your application for membership are the Authorized Persons who may issue payment orders to Us for the initiation of wire transfers or to receive telephone calls from Us, in accordance with this Agreement, for the purpose of confirming payment orders for the initiation of wire transfers which have been transmitted to Us under this Agreement for any Account designated in Your application for membership. For confirmation purposes, We may call any party designated in Your application for membership. If more than one Authorized Person is named, any one of them may issue payment orders on any designated Account.
  3. Wire transfer requests must be given to Us in compliance with Our cutoff hours as established from time to time by Us. We are not responsible for the accuracy of a routing number which You supply verbally and which is contained in Your wire transfer request. Wire transfer requests received by Us after Our cutoff hours may be treated as if received on the following business day.
  4. We have no obligation to accept or execute any wire transfer request. We will provide You telephonic notice of rejection. If We are unable to reach You by telephone, We may at Our option give You notice of rejection in writing.
  5. If We accept a wire transfer request consistent with this Agreement, You agree that any such transfer requests which We receive are effective as Your transfer request, whether or not authorized.
  6. You will have no right to cancel or amend a payment order to initiate a wire transfer after We receive it. We will make a reasonable effort to act on a cancellation or amendment of a payment order made by You prior to the time that We execute such payment order, but We have no liability if Your cancellation or amendment is ineffective.
  7. You agree to re-execute this Agreement or to execute a new agreement if changes are necessary. Your application for membership designates any Account which may be charged in relation to wire transfer requests. All parties which You have authorized to issue wire transfer requests or to receive telephonic confirmations from Us are identified in Your application for membership. All modifications or additions to Your application for membership must be in writing.
  8. You agree to pay Us the amount of any transfer request which We transmit pursuant to this Agreement when We execute a payment order to carry out Your wire transfer request. You will not make any wire transfer request which would cause You to exceed the available balance in the Account designated to pay transfer request.

    If a payment order is executed which creates an overdraft, with or without Our prior consent, You agree to pay Us the overdraft amount and any overdraft fee immediately upon Our demand. We have the right to setoff the amount of any overdraft against the balance in any of Your accounts with Us and We may exercise any rights We have under any agreements which grant Us security for the payment of Your liabilities or obligations to Us.
  9. You understand and agree that the payment of a wire transfer request may be made by Us or any other financial institution used to carry out the transfer request on the basis of an identifying or account number which You have provided for a beneficiary, even if the number identifies a person different from Your intended beneficiary. You also understand and agree that We or any other financial institution used to carry out a transfer request, may rely on the identifying number of the intermediary or beneficiary's financial institution which You have provided as the property identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's financial institution, even if the number identifies a financial institution different from the one You intended to identify. We or any other financial institution are not responsible for determining whether any identifying or account numbers You have provided to initiate a wire transfer are accurate. You will be liable to Us for the amount of any transfer request even if payment of the transfer request is made to a person different from the named beneficiary based upon the beneficiary's identifying or account number provided by You or payment of the transfer request is made to a financial institution different from the one identified by name based on the identifying number which You have provided to Us.
  10. You agree to examine any statement or confirmation which We send You and to notify Us within 30 days after the mailing date on any statement or confirmation, of any discrepancy or error. If You fail to notify Us of any discrepancy or error within the required time period, You agree that We are not liable to pay interest or reimburse You for any discrepancy or error in relation to a transfer request described in such statement or confirmation.
  11. You and the Credit Union agree that the following specified security procedures represent a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized payment orders:

    a. Only individuals named in Your application for membership shall issue wire transfer requests to Us; and b. We reserve the right to telephonically contact any individual named in Your application for membership for the purpose of confirming a transfer request, regardless of amount, although We have no obligation to do so. If We cannot obtain a confirmation satisfactory to Us, then We reserve the right to refuse to honor any wire transfer request. We have no responsibility to verify the identity of any party identifying themselves as an individual authorized to receive a telephonic confirmation of any wire transfer request, other than to verify that the name given by such party corresponds to a party named in Your application for membership. If, for any reason, We are not satisfied that a wire transfer request was issued by an authorized party or confirmed by an authorized party, We may refuse to execute the transfer request. If We do so, We shall not incur any liability of any nature. You agree to prevent disclosure, other than on a need-to-know basis, of any of the aspects of the security procedures which You have agreed to with Us. You will notify Us immediately if You believe the confidentiality of the security procedures has been compromised and You shall act to prevent the security procedures from being further compromised.
  12. We have no liability of any nature for delays or mistakes, provided We act in good faith and with reasonable care. We are not responsible for delays or mistakes caused by other parties through whom We transmit funds whether such other parties were selected by You or Us. We are not required to make a wire transfer on the day a wire transfer request is received, unless the wire transfer request is received within a reasonable time before any cutoff hour We have established. We will generally use the funds transfer system, but We may use any means and routes that We, in Our sole discretion, consider suitable for the transmission of funds.
  13. You agree that We have no liability and are not responsible for any delay or failure to transfer any amount specified in any wire transfer request because of rules, regulations, or policies of the Federal Reserve Board which limits, in the aggregate, the amount We can transfer from time to time during any business day, provided, however, that We will promptly notify You of any such failure or delay and will effectuate the transfer as soon as is reasonably possible.
  14. We shall have no liability whatsoever for any special, consequential, punitive, or indirect loss or damage suffered by You in connection with services offered by Us which are subject to this Agreement, regardless of whether We know or should have known such damages might be incurred. We have no responsibility for any attorney fees that You might incur.
  15. We may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written or oral notice to You. Unless We terminate this Agreement, the Agreement shall remain in effect until We receive written notice of termination from You and have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to act on Your termination notice. You may not assign this Agreement to any other party.
  16. This Agreement is governed by the provisions of Regulation J, 12 CFR Part 210, Subpart B, including the Appendices, to the extent that any wire transfer request is carried out. Terms which are not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code Article 4A. This Agreement is also subject to all applicable Operating Circulars of the Federal Reserve Bank in the district in which We are located and any other applicable provisions of federal or state law. To the extent that Regulation J does not apply to this Agreement, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state in which We are chartered.
  17. We may amend this Agreement, from time to time, by sending You a copy of any amendment at least 30 days prior to its effective date. This Agreement may also be amended by a writing signed by You and Us. No representation or statement not expressly contained in this Agreement or in any amendment shall be binding upon You or Us.
  18. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by applicable law, such prohibition shall apply only to that provision and all other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
