HomeMy WebLinkAbout2007 CON Neighborhood National Bank - Certificate of Deposit Account Registry ServicesCDARS Deposit Placement Agreement
You, the undersigned, and Neighborhood National Bank
(referred to in this agreement as we and 'us-) are entering into this agreement to
set forth the terns and conditions under which we will assist you from time to time in
placing your funds in time deposits with depository institutions (each an 'Insured
Institution') whose accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ('FDIC'). Through an arrangement with Promontory Interfinancial
Network, LLC ('Network'), we will endeavor to place your funds in time deposits
("CDs") issued by Insured Institutions through the Network's Certificate of Deposit
Account Registry Service+, or CDARS,,, in principal amounts that, when aggregated
with interest to accrue over the term of the CD, will not exceed the $100,000 FDIC
insurance Knit for deposits of one depositor at one Insured Institution, or such other
insurance limit as Congress and the FDIC may establish. We will also act as your
custodian with respect to your CDs pursuant to the custodial agreement that we have
separately entered into with you ('Custodial Agreement"). The terms of our custodial
relationship with you are set forth in the Custodial Agreement. Funds held in an
account with us pending placement through CDARS or resulting from payments on
CDs are subject to the FDIC insurance limits applicable to your deposits with us.
CDARS includes a proprietary process owned by the Network that allocates
orders submitted by member financial institutions on behalf of their depositors on
dates specified by the Network. On each "Order Date member institutions submit
orders requesting the Network to (i) place funds for their depositors with Insured
Institutions that are willing to accept deposits through CDARS or (II) if the member
institution is an Insured Institution, receive funds so placed by other member institu-
tions. On the 'Order Allocation Date' the Network allocates orders submitted on the
Order Date. CDARS offers different types of transactions through which we may
place your funds with such Insured Institutions. In a'CDARS Reciprocal
Transaction; we receive through CDARS funds for deposit in an amount equal to the
amount of your funds that we have placed through CDARS with respect to the corre-
sponding Order Date, but we do not receive a fee. In a 'CDARS One -Way
Transaction." we do not receive funds for deposit through CDARS, but we receive a
fee from one or more Insured Institutions that received deposits through CDARS with
respect to the corresponding Order Date. Funds that we submit for placement for you
through a CDARS transaction may be placed at an Insured Institution without regard
to whether the Insured Institution is participating in CDARS on that Order Date
through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction or through a CDARS One -Way Transaction
or otherwise. We will place your funds through a CDARS Reciprocal
Transaction unless we notify you that we will place your funds through a
CDARS One -Way Transaction and you agree to our doing so.
This agreement sets forth important information about the placement process.
By signing this agreement you agree to be bound by Its terms each time that you
submit funds to us for placement. Please read it carefully. Some of the features of
the CDs and the placement process are:
When we place your funds, you will be Issued CDs by Insured Institutions that
have entered into agreements with the Network.
• We will act as your custodian with respect to those CDs.
• The CDs issued to you by Insured Institutions will have the interest rates and
annual percentage yields ('APY') you have agreed to with us.
• You will not be charged a fee in connection with CD placements.
• You may select the maturities and payment terms of your CDs from those that
are available through CDARS at the time that you submit your funds for
placement
• You may designate any Insured Institution as ineligible to receive your funds.
▪ Early withdrawal of any CD you purchase may be available, but may be subject
to substantial penalties.
Section 1. Your Relationship With Us
(a) Agency and Custodial Relationship
We have entered into a contract with the Network pursuant to which we will endeavor
to place your funds at other Insured Institutions that have also entered into contracts
with the Network. Pursuant to our contract with the Network, we will adhere to the
Network's policies and procedures in placing your funds.
We will act as your agent in connection with the placement of your hinds in CDs. On
certain Order Dates, we may have the opportunity to place your funds through either
a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction or a CDARS One -Way Transaction. Although we
will act as your agent in connection with the placement of your funds, we are
not acting as your investment adviser and have no obligation to advise you of
alternative Investments available through CDARS or otherwise. Further, we
make no representations with respect to the interest rates on deposits available
on an Order Date through us or through CDARS, and we may receive greater
benefits when we place your funds through one type of CDARS transaction
than when we do so through another type of CDARS transaction or than we
would if you instructed us to make a deposit other than through a CDARS
transaction.
We will act as your custodian with respect to your CDs acquired through
CDARS. We have entered into an agreement with The Bank of New York to act as
our sub -custodian with respect to the CDs for which we are acting as your custodian.
No physical certificates evidencing the CDs will be issued. Each CD for which we act
as your custodian will be recorded on the records of the Insured Institution that issues
the CD in the name of our sub -custodian, will be recorded on the records of the sub -
custodian in our name, and will be recorded on our records In your name, all in a
manner that will permit FDIC deposit insurance to `pass through' to you as the bene-
ficial owner of the CD. You will receive from us a written confirmation of the issuance
of your CDs and periodic account statements that will reflect your ownership of your
CDs. The confirmation of CD issuance and the account statement(s) will be the only
evidence that you will receive of your ownership of the CDs. You should retain the
confirmation and the account statement(s) for your records.
While we are acting as your custodian, (i) all payments with respect to the CDs
by the Insured Institutions that issue the CDs will be made to us, and we will credit
the funds to an account or accounts you maintain with us or disburse the funds pur-
suant to your instructions, and (ii) you can enforce your rights in the CDs through us.
You may not transfer the CDs directly to another custodian. At your election, you may
dismiss us as custodian, and your ownership of a CD may be recorded in your name
on the books of the Insured Institution that issued the CD. If you choose to have the
CD maintained in your name on the books of the Insured Institution that issued the
CD, you will be able to enforce your rights in the CD directly against That Insured
Institution.
(b) Fees
You will not pay a fee in connection with your placement of funds. If we place your
funds through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction, we will pay a fee to the Network for
using the CDARS order allocation services and certain other services. If we place
your funds through a CDARS One -Way Transaction, we and the Network will receive
a fee from one or more Insured Institutions receiving deposits through CDARS in
respect of that Order Date. We may, in our discretion, waive some or all of our fee,
and the Network may, in its discretion, waive some or all of its fee. We and the
Network may receive different fees from different Insured Institutions. The Network
may offer us and our employees non -cash incentives in connection with our place-
ment of funds through CDARS.
If you have been referred to us by a registered broker -dealer to place your funds
through CDARS, we may pay a fee to that registered broker -dealer.
(c) Limits on Placements
Although we, through our arrangement with the Network, will endeavor to place your
funds, on a particular Order Allocation Date the Network may not be able to allocate
orders in a way that results in the placement of some or any of your funds. If any of
your funds cannot be placed. the unplaced funds will be returned to you. You may
ask us to resubmit unpiaced funds for placement through CDARS on another day on
which the Network perfomis its allocation service.
(d) Each CD Will Be an Obligation of the Issuer
Each CD will be a deposit obligation of the Insured Institution that Issued the CD.
Each CD will constitute a direct obligation of the Insured Institution that issued it and
will not be, either directly or indirectly, our obligation or an obligation of the Network.
Your CD wit not be issued until the issuing Insured Institution receives and accepts
your funds.
(e) APY
If you are not a "consumer' for purposes of the Truth -in -Savings Act ('TSA'), or if our
communication with you in connection with your placement of funds through CDARS
is not an 'advertisement' for purposes of TSA, we are not obligated to provide you
with an APY on your CDs.
(f) Mutual Institution Voting and Subscription Rights
If a CD is issued to you by an Insured Institution in the mutual form of organization
('mutual institution') for funds placed for you through CDARS, you may receive
through us a notice of a meeting of the depositor members of that mutual institution.
Because your CD Is Identified on the books of the mutual institution in the name of
06/05 DI 1
the sub -custodian and not in your name, you wik not be entitled to attend the meet-
ing or vote by proxy. Under agreements that we have entered into with the sub -cus-
todian that holds your CDs in its name on your behalf. the sub -custodian will forward
meeting notices to us (for delivery to you) but it will not attend the meeting or vote by
proxy.
It is possible that the mutual institution also may send notice of its intention to
convert to a stock institution, and provide for priority. non -transferable subscription
rights for depositor members of the mutual institution to purchase stock in the con-
version. Because of the nature of our agreement with the sub -custodian, your CD
will be identified on the books of the mutual institution in the name of the sub -custo-
dian, and not in your name, and thus. you will not be entitled to exercise any sub-
scription right to purchase the stock, or to vote on the conversion. The sub -custodi-
an, which will own the subscription right, also will not purchase any stock in the con-
version.
Accordingly, if you wish 10 receive meeting notices directly, attend meetings and
vole (to convert from the mutual to stock form of ownership, form a mutual holding
company or otherwise) with respect to a CD you have acquired from a mutual institu-
tion through CDARS, or wish to receive subscription rights in the event the mutual
institution converts from mutual to stock form. you will have to dismiss us as custodi-
an prior to the applicable record dale (a date usually at least a year in advance from
the date the mutual institution's board of directors adopts a plan of conversion) and
have your ownership of the CD recorded in your name directly on the books of the
mutual Institution that issued the CD.
Section 2. The Network
(a) General
The Network is not your agent and is responsible solely to us for performing the
services for which we have retained it. The Network uses the proprietary process
included in CDARS to allocate orders submitted on a specified Order Date by
Insured Institutions to other Insured Institutions that are willing to accept deposits
through CDARS.
On an Order Allocation Date, the Network uses the CDARS allocation process
to propose placements of funds with Insured institutions wishing to receive funds,
subject to your approval as set forth in the procedures set forth in Section 3 of this
agreement ('Placement Procedures'). CDs for funds placed through CDARS will be
issued to you on the business day immediately following the Order Allocation Date
(the 'Settlement Date'). A'business day' means any day other than a Saturday, a
Sunday or a day on which banks in New York, New York are authorized or required
by law or regulation to dose.
(b) CDARS Reciprocal Transaction
When we notify the Network that we wish to submit your funds for placement through
a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction on an Order Date, we will agree to accept for
deposit an equal or greater amount of deposits through CDARS. On the Settlement
Date, CDs will be issued to you and we will accept deposits placed by other member
institutions.
Your funds may be placed at Insured Institutions that are submitting funds for
placement through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction or at Insured Institutions that
have requested deposits through CDARS with respect to the same Order Date. The
Network, in additlon to fees payable to it, may realize profits or incur losses in con-
nection with the placement of your funds at one or rnore of those Insured Institutions
on the tens you have agreed to with us.
When your funds are placed through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction, we may
make or receive payments based upon the difference between the Interest rate we
have agreed upon with you for your CDs and the interest rate we pay on CDs That
we issue to customers of other Insured Institutions. These payments will be calculat-
ed pursuant to a formula that uses the projected volume -weighted average interest
rate for deposits placed through CDARS Reciprocal Transactions on the same day
your funds are placed. These payments are intended to provide us with the same
interest cost on the CDs we issue to depositors of other Insured Instllutions through
a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction as we would have incurred had we issued the CDs
directly to you.
Any profits or losses realized by the Network and any payments made or
received by us will not change the terms we have agreed with you for your COs.
(c) CDARS One -Way Transaction
On any Order Date, the Network may receive commitments from Insured Institutions
wishing to receive funds through a CDARS One -Way Transaction. Based on these
commitments, the Network communicates to us the maximum amount of funds that
can be submitted for placement through CDARS One -Way Transactions in each CD
maturity on that Order Date.
If we place your funds through a CDARS One -Way Transaction, we will not
receive deposits on the Settlement Date, and we will not make or receive payments
as described under'COARS Reciprocal Transactions' above. Your funds may be
placed at Insured Institutions that are submitting funds for placement through CDARS
Reciprocal Transactions or that have requested funds for deposit on that Order Date.
As set forth above. we and the Network each will receive a fee when we place your
funds through a CDARS One -Way Transaction. and we or the Network may waive all
or part of this fee. Any fees received by us or the Network will not change the terms
we have agreed to with you for your CDs.
Section 3. Placement Procedures
(a) Order Dates and Terms of CDs
Each time you notify us that you wish to place funds through CDARS, we will inform
you of (i) the available Order Dates, (ii) the CD maturities and payment terms avail-
able on each Order Date, (iii) whether early withdrawal of the CDs is available and
whether any penalties (and processing fees, if applicable) will be imposed on you for
early withdrawal, (iv) any limits with respect 10 placing funds and (v) whether we
intend to submit the funds for placement through a CDARS One -Way Transaction.
The terms and conditions available for CDs may change from time to time. Each CD
issued by an Insured Institution will have a principal amount that, when aggregated
with interest to accrue during the term of the CD, wit not exceed the FDIC insurance
limit. You may obtain information about the terms of the CDs made available through
CDARS on an Order Date at www.CDARS.comlproducts.
The interest rates and APYs for the CDs we offer to obtain for you Through
CDARS wit be agreed upon by you and us. For placements Through CDARS
Reciprocal Transactions, the interest rate and APY we agree upon with you will
reflect the interest rate and APY we are wiling to pay on comparable deposits that
we accept on the same day CDs are issued to you. For placements through CDARS
One -Way Transactions, the interest rate and APY we agree upon with you will reflect
the interest rate and APY that Insured Institutions requesting funds through CDARS
One -Way Transactions for that Order Date are willing to pay after paying fees to the
Network and us.
Interest on your CDs will compound dairy. Payment options may vary based on
the maturity of the CD. You may have the option with some CDs to choose between
monthly payments of interest and payment of interest at maturity or other available
interest payment terms. In addition, depending on the terns and conditions of a par-
ticular CD, you may be able to change the payment terms of the CD during the term
of the CD. If you choose to have interest paid to you during the tern of the CD, you
may not be able to re -invest the interest you are paid at an interest rate as favorable
to you as the interest rate paid on the CD.
Each CD wilt eam interest from the day your funds are deposited et the Insured
Institution that issues the CD up to, but not including, the day your CD matures. If
the date on which a payment with respect to a CD is due is not a business day, that
payment will be made on the next business day.
(b) Presumption of CDARS Reciprocal Transaction
We will submit your funds for placement thtrough a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction
unless we inform you that we will place your funds through a CDARS One -Way
Transaction and you agree to our doing so. If we submit your funds for placement
through a CDARS One -Way Transaction and the Network is not able to allocate our
order. we may resubmit an order for your funds on that Order Dale through a CDARS
Reciprocal Transaction, unless you instruct us not to do so at the time you request
that we submit your funds. If we so resubmit your funds through a CDARS
Reciprocal Transaction, the CDs issued to you will have the same terns as the CDs
that would have been issued to you through the CDARS One -Way Transaction.
If you are a public funds depositor or a non-profit institution submitting funds for
placement and wish your funds to be placed only through CDARS Reciprocal
Transactions, please inform us by checking the box at the end of this agreement.
(c) List of Insured Institutions
Each time you notify us that you desire to place funds through CDARS, you may
obtain from us a list of Insured Institutions at which your funds may be placed. Not
all of these Insured Institutions may be available to issue CDs with respect to an
Order Date, and, before the list is provided to you. we may have designated some
Insured Institu ons as ineligible to receive funds from our depositors. You should
review the list provided to you and inform us of the name(s) of any Insured
Institution(s) at which you do not want to make a deposit, for any reason. At your
option, you may also provide us with the names of Insured Institutions not then on
the list at which you do not want to make a deposit. Once you have informed us of
the name of an Insured Institution at which you do not want to make a deposit. your
funds — whether submitted for placement through CDARS at the time you sign this
agreement or in the future — wig not be placed at that Insured Institution until you
notify us in writing that funds may be placed in the Insured Institution. (For your con-
venience, at the time you sign this agreement you may indicate to us on Schedule 1
the names of Insured Institutions at which you do not want to make a deposit.) Upon
06/05 DI 2
your request, we will obtain from the Network the list it maintains of Insured
Institutions at which you do not wish to make a deposit. As set forth below, you are
responsible for monitoring your deposits at each Insured Instltutlon for purposes of
FDIC insurance coverage.
(d) Request for Placement of Funds
When you request that we place your funds through CDARS, we will submit to the
Network a request for placement of your funds ('Order'), including the type of
CDARS transaction through which we are submitting the funds, the Order Date. the
amount of funds to be placed and the terms (including interest rate and APY) of the
CDs you are seeking. The Order will be in a form established by the Network. In
order for us to submit an Order, you must provide us with all information required by
the Network no later than the time specified In paragraph 1 of Schedule 2.
(e) Approval of Proposed Placements
We will not know the name(s) of Insured Institution(s) at which your funds will be
placed at the time we submit an Order for your funds. On each Order Allocation
Date for which we submitted an Order for your funds, we well make available to you a
list of the names of Insured Institutions at which your funds are proposed to be
placed, the proposed deposit amount at each Insured Institution and the names of
proposed altemate Insured Institutions at which your funds may be placed. You may
obtain that list from us on the Order Allocation Date at or after the time specified in
paragraph 3 of Schedule 2, and, at any time prior to the time specified in paragraph
4 of Schedule 2, you may notify us of the name or names of any of the proposed or
proposed alternate Insured Institutions at which you do not want to make a deposit.
Although you may direct us not to place funds at a proposed or altemate proposed
Insured Institution, you cannot deed us to place funds at a specific Insured
Institution or specify the amount to be placed at any Insured Institution.
If you eliminate one or more of the proposed or proposed altemate Insured
Institutions from the list, or if one or more of them becomes unavailable for place-
ment for any reason, your funds wit be placed at the Insured Institutions that were
not eliminated. If a sufficient number of proposed and proposed alternate Insured
Institutions are eliminated or become unavailable so that not all of your funds can be
placed, only as much of your funds will be placed as can be accommodated at the
remaining Insured Institutions in CDs with principal amounts that, when aggregated
with interest to accrue during the term of the CD, will not exceed the FDIC insurance
limit. Your remaining funds will not be allocated on the Order Allocation Date. In
such case. we will inform you of the amount of your funds that wit not be placed and
you may request that we resubmit an Order for your unplaced funds on another
Order Date by repeating the procedure outlined above.
If In connection with any placement of your funds through CDARS. you elimi-
nate a proposed or proposed alternate Insured Institution in accordance with the
above procedures, funds that you subsequently submit for placement through
CDARS will not be placed in those Insured Institutions until you notify us otherwise in
writing.
(q Your Consent to Placement
Your funds wit not be placed unless you have consented to their placement. You will
be deemed to have consented to the placement of your funds at the proposed or
proposed alternate Insured Institutions as of the time specified in paragraph 4 of
Schedule 2 if by that time you:
(I) communicate your approval to us:
(ii) do not request the list of proposed and proposed altemate Insured
Institutions from us;
(ii) request the list of prposed and proposed altemate Insured Institutions
from us, but do not respond to the proposed list; or
(iv) respond to the list of proposed and proposed alternate Insured Institutions
by eliminating one or more of the Insured Institutions, in which case you
will be deemed to have consented to the placement of your funds at those
Insured Institutions that you have not eliminated.
(g) Time by Which We Must Have Your Funds; Settlement of Transactions
Unless we have made other arrangements, each lime that you agree to a placement
of funds under this agreement you also agree that, by the time specified in para-
graph 5 of Schedule 2, you will have in an account with us immediately available
funds, which under applicable law are irreversible and are not subject to any lien,
claim or encumbrance, equal to the amount of funds you have informed us that you
are seeking to place. On the Settlement Date, your funds will be deposited at
Insured Institutions, payments to be made in connection with the placement of CDs
will be made, and the CDs will be issued.
(h) Addldons and Early Withdrawal
No additions may be made to any CD. Insured Institutions generally impose a penal-
ty on withdrawal of a CD prior to its maturity. However. no penalty will be charged
for early withdrawal upon the death of the sole account holder of a CD. Written veri-
fication acceptable to the Insured Institution that issued the CD may be required in
such an event. We will inform you of the early withdrawal penalty applicable to your
CDs when you submit funds for placement.
Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the beneficiary of
an Individual Retirement Account ('IRA) (but not a Roth IRA) may incur a penalty if
the beneficiary does not begin making withdrawals from the IRA after age 70-1/2. A
CD held in an RA is not eligible for early withdrawal without penalty simply because
the beneficiary must withdraw the CD to avoid a tax penalty.
Early withdrawal of a CD may be made only in whole, not in part. You may
request early withdrawal by contacting us, at which time you may specify which of
your CDs you would like us to withdraw. tf you choose not to specify which of your
CDs to withdraw, early withdrawals will be made in accordance with Network proce-
dures. In general, early withdrawal proceeds will be available to you two business
days after we receive your early withdrawal request.
Neither we nor the Network will advance funds in connection with eady with-
drawals, and early withdrawal proceeds will not be available to you until they are paid
to us by the Insured Institution that issued the CD being withdrawn.
(r) No Automatic Renewal or Rollover
The CDs will mature on the date shown on the confirmation of CD Issuance. Upon
maturity, the principal amount of, and unpaid accrued Interest on, the CD will be paid
to you. The CDs wit not be automatically renewed or rolled over, and interest on the
CDs will not continue to accrue after the maturity date. If upon maturity you wish to
re -deposit your funds in CDs through CDARS, you must instruct us to re -submit the
funds as a new placement or you must take advantage of our preauthorized resub-
mission process.
(n Preauthorlzed Re-submiss/on
At the time you submit funds to us for placement through CDARS, you may request
that we re -submit those funds for placement through CDARS upon the maturity of
your CDs. Unless we have entered into a written arrangement with you, you must
contact us before we re -submit your funds through CDARS to establish the new
terms (including interest rate and APY) and the other specifics of your Order for your
re -submitted funds.
(k) No Physical Certificates
As set forth in Section 1, no physical certificate evidencing a CD will be issued. You
should not purchase a CD through CDARS if you need to take physical possession
of a certificate.
Section 4. Important Considerations
(a) Compare Features
You should compare the rates of return and other features of a CD to other available
deposit accounts before deciding to purchase CDs using the CDARS service.
Although the CDs are issued by other Insured Institutions, the rates of interest paid
on the CDs are determined by us based on (i) the interest rates and APYs we are
willing to pay on deposits that we accept through CDARS on the Settlement Date df
your funds are placed by us through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction) or (i) the
interest rate and APY that Insured Institutions that have requested funds through
CDARS One -Way Transactions for that Settlement Date are willing to pay after pay-
ing fees to the Network and us (if your funds are placed by us through a CDARS
One -Way Transaction). These rates may be higher or lower than the rates on
CDs available through a CDARS One -Way Transaction (if we are placing your
funds through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction) or a CDARS Reciprocal
Transaction (if we are placing your funds through a CDARS One -Way
Transaction) or on comparable deposits available directly from us, from
Insured Institutions that issue the CDs through CDARS, from other Insured
Institutions, or from Insured depository institutions not participating in CDARS.
(b) Uninsured Deposits With Us
Funds held in an account with us prior to placement through CDARS and payments
of CD interest and principal that are deposited in an account with us may not be cov-
ered by FDIC insurance if, when aggregated with other deposits you maintain with us
in the seine capacity, the total amount of your deposits in accounts with us exceeds
the FDIC insurance limit. You should discuss with us the options for holding your
funds prior to placement and for having the payments on the CDs deposited with us
or elsewhere.
(c) Insolvency of an Insured Institution
In the event an Insured Institution approaches insolvency or becomes insolvent, the
Insured Institution may be placed in a regulatory conservatorship or receivership in
which the FDIC is typically appointed as conservator or receiver. The FDIC may
thereafter pay off the CDs issued by that Insured Institution prior to maturity or trans-
fer the CDs to another insured depository Institution. If the CDs are transferred to
another Institutionyou may be offered a choice of retaining the CDs at a lower inter-
est rate or having the CDs paid off. See Section 5 below, 'FDIC Insurance
Information'
06/05 DI 3
(d) Reinvestment Risk
If your CD is paid prior to maturity as a result of the issuing Insured Institution's insol-
vency or a voluntary early withdrawal (see Section 3(h) above, 'Additions and Early
Withdrawal"). you may rot be able to reinvest your funds at the same interest rate
that you received on the original CD. Neither we nor the Network is responsible to
you for any tosses you may incur as a result of a lower interest rate on an invest-
ment replacing your CD.
(e) Investment Restrictions
If you are subject to restrictions with respect to the placement of funds in depository
institutions, it is your responsibility to determine whether the placement of your funds
through CDARS satisfies those restrictions
Section 5. FDIC Insurance Information
In general, all accounts and deposits that you maintain with an Insured Institution in
the sarne insurable capacity (whether you are acting directly or through an intermedi-
ary) would be aggregated for purposes of the FDIC Insurance limit Insureble capac-
ities include individual accounts. joint accounts and individual retirement accounts.
Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of the FDIC brochure 'Questions and
Answers About Your Insured Deposit From the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation' You may also obtain information about deposit insurance coverage by
contacting the FDIC, Office of Consumer Affairs, by letter (550 17th Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20429), by telephone (877-275-3342, 800-925-4618 (TDD) or 202-
942-3100), or by e-mail (dcaintemet@fdic.gov), or by visiting the FDIC website at
www.fdic.gov. You may wish to seek advice from your own attomey conceming
FDIC insurance coverage of deposits held in more than one capacity
The present maximum $100,000 FDIC deposit insurance coverage applies to
the principal and accrued interest on all CDs and other deposit accounts maintained
by you in the same insurable capacity at a single Insured Institution. The records
maintained by the Insured Institution, us and our sub -custodian regarding ownership
of CDs will be used to establish your eligibility for federal deposit insurance pay-
ments in respect of CDs issued through CDARS. In addition, you could be required
to provide certain documentation to the FDIC before insurance payments would be
released to you.
In the event that deposit insurance payments become necessary for your CDs,
the FDIC is required to pay the original principal amount plus accrued interest to the
date of the closing of the relevant Insured Institution, as prescribed by law, subject to
the maximum coverage limitation. No interest is earned on deposits from the time an
Insured Institution is closed until insurance payments are received. We will notify
you if we receive any payments from the FDIC with respell to your CDs.
As an alternative to a direct deposit insurance payment from the FDIC. the FDIC
may transfer the insured deposits of an insolvent institution to a healthy institution.
Subject to insurance verification requirements and the limits on FDIC deposit insur-
ance coverage, the healthy institution may assume your CDs under their original
terms or offer you a choice between either receiving payment of the CDs or main-
taining the deposits at a different rate. We will advise you of your options in the
event of a deposit transfer.
As with all federally insured deposits, if it becomes necessary for federal deposit
insurance payments to be made on the CDs, there is no specific time period during
which the FDIC must make the insurance payments available. Neither we nor the
Network will be obligated to make any payments to you in satisfaction of a loss you
might incur as a result of (i) a delay in insurance payouts applicable to a CD, (ii)
your receipt of a decreased interest rate on an investment replacing a CD that is
repaid prior to its scheduled maturity. or (iii) payment in cash of the principal and
accrued interest of a CD prior to maturity in connection with the liquidation of an
Insured Institution or the assumption of all or a portion of its deposit liabilities. Also,
neither we nor the Network will be obligated to advance funds to you prior to pay-
ment from the FDIC.
Section 6. Total Amount of Your Deposits at Insured Institutions;
Publicly Available Information
Funds we submit for placement on your behalf on any Settlement Date are placed in
CDs at enough different Insured Institutions to prevent the principal amount and any
interest to accrue over the term of each CD placed on that Settlement Date from
exceeding the $100,000 FDIC insurance limit. It is your responsibility, however, to
monitor the total amount of deposits that you hold with each Insured Institution in
order for you to determine the extent of FDIC deposit insurance coverage available
to you on deposits at that Insured Institution, including the CDs issued through
CDARS. See Section 5 above, 'FDIC Insurance Information; for more information
on FDIC insurance coverage. The Insured Institution at which a deposit is made is
responsible for the full amount deposited with it, and neither we nor the Network is
responsible for any insured or uninsured portion of any CD or any other deposits.

Restated CDARS® Deposit Placement Agreement
This restated CDARS Deposit Placement Agreement modifies and replaces the CDARS Deposit Placement Agreement that you
previously executed with us. You may wish to file this restated version with your copy of the previously executed version.
You, he undersigned, and Neigiborhood National (t
to in Ihhis agreement as we' and 'us') are entering into this agreement to set forth
the terms and conditions under which we will assist you from time to time in placing
your funds in time deposits with depository institutions (each an'Insured Institution')
whose accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ('FDIC').
Through an arrangement with Promontory Interfinancial Network. LLC
('Promontory'). we will endeavor to place your funds in time deposits ('CDs') issued
by Insured Institutions through Promontory's Certificate of Deposit Account Registry
Service®, or CDARS®. in principal amounts that. when aggregated with interest to
accrue over the term of the CD, will not exceed the Standard Maximum Deposit
Insurance Amount ('SMDIA') for deposits of one depositor at one Insured Institution
(currently $100,000). Although certain 'self -directed' retirement accounts, such as
IRAs, may be eligible for coverage under a higher FDIC insurance limit (currently
$250,000) for deposits of one depositor at one Insured Institution. CDs for these
retirement accounts will be placed using CDARS in amounts that will not exceed the
SMDIA. We will also act as your custodian with respect to your CDs pursuant to the
custodial agreement that we have separately entered into with you ('Custodial
Agreement'). The terms of our custodial relationship with you are set forth In the
Custodial Agreement. Funds held in an account with us pending placement through
CDARS or resulting from payments on CDs are subject to the SMDIA applicable to
your deposits with us and therefore may not be fully insured by the FDIC.
CDARS is a proprietary process owned by Promontory that allocates orders
submitted by participating financial Institutions on behalf of their depositors on dates
('Order Dates) specified by Promontory. On each Order Date participating institu-
tions submit orders requesting that Promontory allocate funds for their depositors to
Insured Institutions that are willing to accept deposits through CDARS. On the
'Order Allocation Date' Promontory allocates orders submitted on the Order Date.
CDARS offers different types of transactions through which we may place your
funds with Insured Institutions. In a 'CDARS Reciprocals Transaction,' we receive
funds for deposit in an amount equal to the amount of your funds that we have
placed using CDARS with respect to the Order Date for which your Order was sub-
mitted to Promontory. but we do not receive a fee. In a'CDARS One-Way1M
Transaction,' we do not receive funds for deposit, but we receive a fee from one or
more Insured Institutions that received deposits through CDARS with respect to the
corresponding Order Date. Funds That we place for you through a CDARS transac-
tion may be placed at an Insured Institution without regard to whether the Insured
Institution is participating in CDARS on that Order Date through a CDARS Reciprocal
Transaction or through a CDARS One -Way Transaction or otherwise. We will place
your funds through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction unless we notify you that we
will place your funds through a CDARS One -Way Transaction and you consent to
our doing so. If you wish to have us place your funds only through a CDARS
Reciprocal Transaction, you may check a box provided for this purpose at the end of
this Agreement. If you do not check this box we will not place your funds through a
CDARS One -Way Transaction without your consent.
This agreement sets forth important information about the placement process.
By signing this agreement you agree to be bound by its tens each time that you
submit funds to us for placement. Please read it carefully. Some of the features of
the CDs and the placement process are:
• When we place your funds. you will be issued CDs by Insured Institutions that
have entered into agreements with Promontory.
• We will act as your custodian with respect to those CDs.
• The CDs issued to you by Insured Institutions will have the interest rates and
annual percentage yields ('APY') you have agreed to with us.
. You will not be charged a fee in connection with CD placements.
■ You may select the maturities and payment teens of your CDs from those that
are available through CDARS at the time that you submit your funds for
placement.
• You may designate any Insured Institution as ineligible to receive your funds.
• Early withdrawal of any CD you purchase may be available, but may be subject
to substantial penalties.
• No secondary market for the CDs currently exists, but earty withdrawal of any
CD you purchase is available, subject to applicable penalties.
Section 1. Your Relationship With Us
(a) Agency and Custodial Relationship
We have entered into a contract with Promontory pursuant to which we will use
CDARS to assist us in endeavoring to place your funds at other Insured Institutions
that have also entered into contracts with Promontory. Pursuant to our contract with
Promontory, we will adhere to Promontory's policies and procedures in placing your
funds.
We will act as your agent in connection with the placement of your funds in
CDs. As set forth above, we will place your funds Through a CDARS Reciprocal
Transaction unless you agree to having your funds placed through a CDARS One -
Way Transaction. Although we will act as your agent in connection with the
placement of your funds, we are not acting as your investment adviser and
have no obligation to advise you of alternative lnvestments available through
CDARS or otherwise. Further, we make no representations with respect to the
interest rates on deposits available on an Order Date through us or through
CDARS, and we may receive greater benefits when we place your funds
through one type of CDARS transaction than when we do so through another
type of CDARS transaction or than we would if you Instructed us to make a
deposit other than through a CDARS transaction.
We will act as your custodian with respect to your CDs acquired through
CDARS. We have entered into an agreement with The Bank of New York to act as
our sub -custodian with respect to the CDs for which we are acting as your custodian.
No physical certificates evidencing the CDs will be issued. Each CD for which we
act as your custodian will be recorded on the records of the Insured Institution that
issues the CD in the name of our sub -custodian, will be recorded on the records of
the sub -custodian in our name, and wit be recorded on our records in your name, all
in a manner that will permit your CD to be FDIC insured to the same extent as if you
held it directly with the Insured Institution. You will receive from us a written confir-
mation of the issuance of your CDs and periodic account statements that will reflect
your ownership of your CDs. The confirmation of CD issuance and the account
statement(s) will be the only evidence that you will receive of your ownership of the
CDs. You should retain the confirmation and the account statement(s) for your
records.
While we are acbng as your custodian, (i) all payments with respect to the CDs
by the Insured Institutions that issue the CDs writ be made to us, and we will credit
the funds to an account or accounts you maintain with us or disburse the funds pur-
suant to your instructions, and (ii) you can enforce your rights in the CDs through us.
You may not transfer the CDs directly to another custodian. At your election. you
may dismiss us as custodian, and your ownership of a CD may be recorded in your
name on the books of the Insured Institution that issued the CD. If you choose 10
have the CD maintained in your name on the books of the Insured Institution that
issued the CD, you will be able to enforce your rights in the CD directly against that
Insured Institution.
(b) Fees
You will riot pay a fee in connection with your placement of funds. If we place your
funds through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction, we will pay a fee to Promontory for
using the CDARS order allocation services and certain other services. If we place
your funds through a CDARS One -Way Transaction, we and Promontory will receive
fees from one or more Insured Institutions receiving deposits through CDARS in
respect of that Order Date. We may, in our discretion, waive some or all of our fee,
and Promontory may, in its discretion, waive some or all of its fee. We and
Promontory may receive different fees from different Insured Institutions in connec-
tion with the same transaction. Promontory may offer us and our employees non -
cash incentives in connection with our placement of funds through CDARS.
(c) Limits on Placements
Although we. through our arrangement with Promontory, will endeavor to place your
funds, on a particular Order Notation Date Promontory may not be able to allocate
orders in a way that results in the placement of some or any of your funds. The allo-
cation process utilized by Promontory may reflect considerations of federal and state
law, funding needs of Insured Institutions, economic conditions, Promontory's objec-
tives or other factors determined by Promontory in its sole discretion.
04107 DI 1
If any of your funds cannot be placed, the unplaced funds will be returned to
you. You may ask us to resubmit unplaced funds for placement through CDARS on
another day on which Promontory performs its allocation service.
(d) Each CD Will Be an Obligation of the Issuer
Each CD will be a deposit obligation of the Insured Institution that issued the CD and
wit not be, either directly or indirectly, our obligation or an obligation of Promontory.
Your CD will not be issued until the issuing Insured Institution receives and accepts
your funds.
(e) APY
If you are not a'consumer' for purposes of the Truth -in -Savings Act (-TSA'), or if our
communication with you in connection with your placement of funds through CDARS
is not an 'advertisement' for purposes of TSA, we are not obligated to provide you
with an APY on your CDs.
(t7 Mutual Institution Voting and Subscription Rights
If a CD is issued to you by an Insured Institution in the mutual form of organization
('mutual institution') for funds placed for you through CDARS, you may receive
through us a notice of a meeting of the depositor members of that mutual Institution.
Because your CD is identified on the books of the mutual institution in the name of
the sub -custodian and not in your name, you will not be entitled to attend the meet-
ing or vote by proxy. Under agreements that we have entered into with the sub -cus-
todian that hobs your CDs in its name on your behalf, the sub -custodian will forward
meeting notices to us (for delivery to you) but it will not attend the meeting or vote by
proxy.
It is possible that the mutual institution also may send notice of its intention to
convert to a stock institution, and provide for priority, non -transferable subsc ption
rights for depositor members of the mutual institution to purchase stock in the con-
version. Because of the nature of our agreement with the sub -custodian, your CD
will be identified on the books of the mutual institution in the name of the sub -custo-
dian, and not in your name. and thus, you will not be entitled to exercise any sub-
scription right to purchase the stock, or to vote on the conversion. The sub -custodi-
an, which will own the subscription right, also will not purchase any stock in the con-
version.
Accordingly, if you wish to receive meeting notices directly, attend meetings and
vote (to convert from the mutual to stock form of ownership, form a mutual holding
company or otherwise) with respect to a CD you have acquired from a mutual institu-
tion through CDARS, or wish to receive subscription rights in the event the mutual
institution converts from mutual to stock form, you will have to dismiss us as custodi-
an prior to the applicable record date (a date usually at least a year in advance from
the date the mutual institution's board of directors adopts a plan of conversion) and
have your ownership of the CD recorded in your name directly on the books of the
mutual institution that issued the CD.
Section 2. Promontory
(a) General
Promontory is not your agent and Is responsible solely to us for performing the serv-
ices for which we have retained it. Promontory uses the proprietary process includ-
ed in CDARS to allocate orders submitted on a specified Order Date by Insured
Institutions to other Insured Institutions that are wiling to accept deposits through
CDARS.
On an Order Allocation Date, Promontory uses the CDARS allocation process to
propose placements of funds with Insured Institutions wishing to receive funds, sub-
ject to your approval as set forth in the procedures set forth in Section 3 of this
agreement ('Placement Procedures'). CDs for funds placed through CDARS wit be
issued to you on the business day immediately following the Order Allocation Date
(the 'Settlement Date'). A'business day' means any day other than a Saturday, a
Sunday or a day on which banks in New York. New York are authorized or required
by law or regulation to dose.
In addition to the fees payable to it in connection with CDARS Reciprocal
Transactions and CDARS One -Way Transactions, Promontory may realize profits or
incur losses in connections with the placement of your funds at one or more Insured
Insured Institutions on the terms you have selected.
(b) CDARS Reciprocal Transaction
When we natty Promontory that we wish to submit your funds for placement through
a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction on an Order Date, we will agree to accept for
deposit an equal or greater amount of deposits through CDARS. On the Settlement
Date, CDs will be issued to you and we will accept deposits placed by other partici-
pating institutions.
Your funds may be placed at Insured Institutions that are submitting funds for
placement through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction or at Insured Institutions That
have requested deposits through CDARS with respect to the same Order Date.
When your funds are placed through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction, we may
make or receive payments based upon the difference between the interest rate we
have agreed upon with you for your CDs and the interest rate we pay on CDs that we
issue to customers of other Insured Institutions. These payments will be calculated
pursuant to a formula that uses the projected volume -weighted average interest rate
for deposits placed through CDARS Reciprocal Transactions on the same day your
funds are placed. These payments are intended to provide us with the same interest
cost on the CDs we issue to depositors of other Insured Institutions through a
CDARS Reciprocal Transaction as we would have incurred had we issued the CDs
directly to you.
Any payments made or received by us, or fees received by Promontory, wit not
change the terms we have agreed with you for your CDs.
(c) CDARS One -Way Transaction
On any Order Date, Promontory may receive commitments from Insured Institutions
wishing to receive funds through a CDARS One -Way Transaction. Based on these
commitments. Promontory communicates to us the maximum amount of funds that
can be submitted for placement through CDARS One -Way Transactions in each CD
maturity on that order Date.
If we place your funds through a CDARS One -Way Transaction, we will not
receive deposits on the Settlement Date, and we will not make or receive payments
as described under 'CDARS Reciprocal Transactions` above. Your funds may be
placed at Insured Institutions that are submitting funds for placement through CDARS
Reciprocal Transactions or that have requested funds for deposit on that Order Date.
As set forth above, we and Promontory each will receive a fee when we place
your funds through a CDARS One -Way Transaction, and we or Promontory may
waive at or part of this fee. Any fees received by us or Promontory will not change
the terms we have agreed to with you for your CDs.
Section 3. Placement Procedures
(a) Order Dates and Terms of CDs
Each time you notify us that you wish to place funds through CDARS, we will inform
you of (1) the available Order Dates, (ii) the CD maturities and payment terms avail-
able on each Order Date, (iii) whether early withdrawal of the CDs is available and
whether any penalties (and processing fees, if applicable) will be imposed on you for
early withdrawal. (iv) any limits with respect to pladng funds and (v) whether we
intend to submit the funds for placement through a CDARS One -Way Transaction.
The terms and conditions available for CDs may change from time to time.

aggregated with interest to accrue during the term of the CD. wit not exceed the
basic FDIC Insurance limit. You may obtain intonation about the terms of the CDs
made available through CDARS on an Order Date at www.CDARS.comlproducts.
The interest rates and APYs for the CDs we offer to obtain for you through
CDARS will be agreed upon by you and us. For placements through CDARS
Reciprocal Transactions, the interest rate and APY we agree upon with you will
reflect the interest rate and APY we are willing to pay, after paying a fee to
Promontory. For placements through CDARS One -Way Transactions, the interest
rate and APY we agree upon with you will reflect the interest rate and APY that
Insured Institutions requesting funds through CDARS One -Way Transactions for that
Order Date are willing to pay after paying fees to Promontory and us.
Interest on your CDs wit compound daily. Payment options may vary based on
the maturity of the CD. You may have the option with some CDs to choose between
monthly payments of interest and payment of interest at maturity or other available
interest payment terns. In addition, depending on the terms and conditions of a par-
ticular CD, you may be able to change the payment terms of the CD during the tens
of the CD. If you choose to have interest paid to you during the term of the CD, you
may not be able to re -Invest the interest you are paid at an interest rate as favorable
to you as the interest rate paid on the CD.
Each CD will earn Interest from the day your funds are deposited at the insured
Institution that issues the CD up to, but not including, the day your CD matures. If
the date on which a payment with respect to a CD is due is not a business day, that
payment will be made on the next business day.
(b) Presumption of CDARS Reciprocal Transaction
We will submit your funds for placement through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction
unless we inform you that we will place your funds through a CDARS one -Way
Transaction and you agree to our doing so. If we submit your funds for placement
through a CDARS One -Way Transaction and Promontory is not able to allocate our
order, we may resubmit an order for your funds on that Order Date through a CDARS
Reciprocal Transaction, unless you instruct us not to do so at the time you request
that we submit your funds. If we so resubmit your funds through a CDARS
Reciprocal Transaction, the CDs issued to you will have the same terms as the CDs
that would have been issued to you through the CDARS One -Way Transaction
If you are a public funds depositor or a non-profit Institution submitting funds for
placement and wish your funds to be placed only through CDARS Reciprocal
Transactions, please inform us by checking the box at the end of this agreement.
04107 DI 2
(c) List of Insured Institutions
Each time you notify us that you desire to place funds through CDARS. you may
obtain from us a list of Insured Institutions al which your funds may be placed. Not
all of these Insured Institutions may be available to issue CDs with respect to an
Order Date, and, before the list is provided to you. we may have designated some
Insured Institutions as ineligible to receive funds from our depositors. You should
review the list provided to you and inform us of the name(s) of any Insured
Institution(s) at which you do not want to make a deposit, for any reason. At your
option, you may also provide us with the names of Insured Institutions not then on
the list at which you do not want to make a deposit. Once you have informed us of
the name of an Insured Institution at which you do not want to make a deposit. your
funds — whether submitted for placement through CDARS at the time you sign this
agreement or in the future — will not be placed at that Insured Institution until you
notify us in writing that funds may be placed in the Insured Institution. (For your con-
venience, at the time you sign this agreement you may indicate to us on Schedule 1
the names of Insured Institutions at which you do not want to make a deposit.) Upon
your request, we will obtain from Promontory the list it maintains of Insured
Institutions at which you do not wish to make a deposit As set forth below, you are
responsible for monitoring your deposits at each Insured Institution for purposes of
FDIC insurance coverage.
(d) Request for Placement of Funds
When you request that we place your funds through CDARS, we will submit to
Promontory a request for placement of your funds (an 'Order"). including the type of
CDARS transaction through which we are submitting the funds, the Order Date, the
amount of funds to be placed and the terms (including interest rate and APY) of the
CDs you are seeking. The Order will be in a form established by Promontory. In
order for us to submit an Order, you must provide us with at information required by
Promontory no later than the time specified in paragraph 1 of Schedule 2.
(e) Approval of Proposed Placements
We will not know the name(s) of Insured Institution(s) at which your funds will be
placed at the time we submit an Order for your funds. On each Order Allocation
Date for which we submitted an Order for your funds. we wit make available to you a
list of the names of Insured Institutions at which your funds are proposed to be
placed, the proposed deposit amount at each Insured Institution and the names of
proposed alternate Insured Institutions at which your funds may be placed. You may
obtain that list from us on the Order Allocation Date at or after the time specified in
paragraph 3 of Schedule 2. and. at any time prior to the time specified In paragraph
4 of Schedule 2, you may noty us of the name or names of any of the proposed or
proposed alternate Insured Institutions at which you do not want to make a deposit.
Although you may direct us not to place funds at a proposed or alternate proposed
Insured Institution, you cannot direct us to place funds at a specific Insured
Institution or specify the amount to be placed at any Insured Institution.
If you eliminate one or more of the proposed or proposed alternate Insured
Institutions from the list, or if one or more of them becomes unavailable for place-
ment for any reason, your funds will be placed at the Insured Institutions that were
not eliminated. If a sufficient number of proposed and proposed altemate Insured
Institutions are eliminated or become unavailable so that not all of your funds can be
placed, only as much of your funds will be placed as can be deposited at the remain-
ing Insured Institutions in CDs with principal amounts that, when aggregated with
interest to accrue during the tern of the CDs. will not exceed the SMDIA. Your
remaining funds will not be allocated on the OrderAllocation Date. In such case. we
w h inform you of the amount of your funds that will not be placed and you may
request that we resubmit an Order for your unplaced funds on another Order Date by
repeating the procedure outlined above.
If in connection with any placement of your funds using CDARS, you eliminate a
proposed or proposed alternate Insured Institution in accordance with the above pro-
cedures, funds that you subsequently submit for placement wit not be placed in that
Insured Institution until you notify us otherwise in writing.
(1) Your Consent to Placement
Your funds will not be placed unless you have consented to their placement. You will
be deemed to have consented to the placement of your funds at the proposed or
proposed alternate Insured Institutions as of the time specified in paragraph 4 of
Schedule 2 If by that time you:
(i) communicate your approval to us;
(ii) do not request the fist of proposed and proposed alternate Insured
Institutions from us;
request the list of proposed and proposed alternate Insured Institutions
from us, but do not respond to the proposed list; or
(iv) respond to the list of proposed and proposed altemate Insured Institutions
by eliminating one or more of the Insured Institutions, in which case you
wit be deemed to have consented to the placement of your funds at those
Insured Institutions that you have not eliminated.
Pp)
(g) 77me by Which We Must Have Your Funds; Seflement of Transactions
Unless we have made other arrangements, each time that you agree to a placement
of funds under this agreement you also agree that by the time specified in paragraph
5 of Schedule 2. you will have in an account with us immediately available funds,
which under applicable law are irreversible and are not subject to any lien, claim or
encumbrance, equal to the amount of funds you have informed us that you are seek-
ing to place. On the Settlement Date, your funds will be deposited at Insured
Institutions, payments to be made in connection with the placement of CDs will be
made, and the CDs will be issued.
(h) Additions and Early Withdrawal
No additions may be made to any CD. Insured Institutions impose a penalty on with-
drawal of a CD prior to its maturity. However, no penalty will be charged for early
withdrawal upon the death of an individual who is the sole account holder of the CD.
This exception applies to an individual who is the named account holder as well as
an Individual who is the sole current mandatory or discretionary Income beneficiary of
a trust, including the sole current beneficiary of a unitrust or annuity trust Written ver-
ification acceptable to the Insured Institution that issued the CD may be required in
such an event. We will inform you of the early withdrawal penalty applicable to your
CDs when you submit funds for placement. For a CD with a term of 4 or 13 weeks,
the early withdrawal penalty is equal to 28 or 90 days. respectively, of simple interest
calculated at the CD rate. The penalties for early withdrawal of 4 or 13 week CDs
are equivalent to substantially all of the interest that would have been eamed over
the full term and will invade principal. For a CD with a term of 26 weeks or longer,
the early withdrawal penalty is equal 10 simple interest calculated at the CD rate for
approximately half the number of days in the full term. The penalties for early with-
drawal of CDs with a term 26 weeks and longer are equivalent to half of the interest
that would have been eamed over the full term and may invade principal. The current
schedule of products available and applicable early withdrawal penalties may be
viewed at www.CDARS.com\products.
Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the beneficiary of
an Individual Retirement Account (•IRA') (but not a Roth IRA) may incur a penalty if
the beneficiary does not begin making withdrawals from the IRA after age 70-1/2. A
CD held in an IRA is not eligible for early withdrawal without penalty simply because
the beneficiary must withdraw the CD to avoid a tax penalty.
Early withdrawal of a CD may be made only in whole. not in part. You may
request early withdrawal by contacting us, at which time you may specify which of
your CDs you would like us to withdraw. If you choose not to specify which of your
CDs to withdraw, early withdrawals will be made using an automated process that
generates random selections based on amount. In general, early withdrawal pro-
ceeds will be available to you two business days after we receive your early with-
drawal request.
Neither we nor Promontory will advance funds in connection with early with-
drawals, and early withdrawal proceeds wdl not be available to you until they are paid
to us by the Insured Institution that issued the CD being withdrawn.
(i) No Automatic Renewal or Rollover
The CDs will mature on the date shown on the confirmation of CD Issuance. Upon
maturity, the principal amount of and unpaid accrued Interest on, the CD will be paid
to you. The CDs will not be automatically renewed or rolled over, and interest on the
CDs will not continue to accrue after the maturity date. If upon maturity you wish to
re -deposit your funds in CDs through CDARS. you must instruct us to re -submit the
funds as a new placement or you must take advantage of our preauthorized re -sub-
mission process.
(D Preauthorized Re -submission
At the time you submit funds to us for placement through CDARS. you may request
that we resubmit those funds for placement through CDARS upon the maturity of
your CDs. Unless we have entered into a written re -submission arrangement with
you, you must contact us before we resubmit your funds through CDARS to estab-
lish the new terms (including interest rale and APY) and the other specifics of your
Order for your re -submitted funds.
(k) No Physkal Certificates
As set forth in Section 1, no physical certificate evidencing a CD will be issued. You
should not purchase a CD through CDARS if you need to take physical possession
of a certificate.
Section 4. Important Considerations
(a) Compare Features
You should compare the rates of retum and other features of a CD to other available
deposit accounts before deciding to purchase CDs using the CDARS service.
Although the CDs are issued by other Insured Institutions, the rates of interest paid
on the CDs are determined by us based on (i) the interest rates and APYs we are
willing to pay on deposits that we accept through CDARS on the Settlement Date (f
your funds are placed by us through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction) or (ii) the
04r07 DI 3
interest rate and APY that Insured Institutions that have requested funds through
CDARS One -Way Transactions for that Settlement Date are willing to pay after pay-
ing fees to Promontory and us (if your funds are placed by us through a CDARS
One -Way Transaction). Those rates may be higher or lower than the rates on
CDs available through a CDARS One -Way Transaction (if we are placing your
funds through a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction) or a CDARS Reciprocal
Transaction (if we are placing your funds through a CDARS One -Way
Transaction) or on comparable deposits available directly from us, from
Insured Institutions that issue the CDs through CDARS, from other Insured
institutions, or from Insured depository institutions not participating in
CDARS.
(b) Uninsured Deposits With Us
Funds held in an account with us prior to placement using CDARS or prior to pay-
ment of CD interest and principal us may not be covered by FDIC insurance if, when
aggregated with other deposits you maintain with us in the same capacity, the total
amount of your deposits in accounts with us exceeds the FDIC insurance limit appli-
cable to your deposits with us. You should discuss with us the options for holding
your funds prof to placement and for having the payments on the CDs deposited
with us or elsewhere.
(c) Insolvency of an Insured Institution
In the event an Insured Institution approaches insolvency or becomes insolvent. the
Insured Institution may be placed in a regulatory conservatorship or receivership in
which the FDIC is typically appointed as conservator or receiver. The FDIC may
thereafter pay off the CDs issued by That Insured Institution prior to maturity or trans-
fer the CDs to another insured depository Institution. If the CDs are transferred to
another institution, you may be offered a choice of retaining the CDs at a lower inter-
est rate or having the CDs paid off. See Section 5 below, "FDIC Insurance
Information.'
(d) Reinvestment Risk
If your CD is paid prior to maturity as a result of the issuing insured institution's insol-
vency or a voluntary early withdrawal (see Section 3(h) above, 'Additions and Early
Withdrawal"), you may not be able to reinvest your funds at the same interest rate
that you received on the original CD. Neither we nor Promontory is responsible to
you for any losses you may incur as a result of a lower interest rate on an invest-
ment replacing your CD.
(e) Investment Restrictions
If you are subject to restrictions with respect to the placement of funds in depository
institutions. it is your responsibility to determine whether the placement of your funds
by us using CDARS satisfies those restrictions. For example. when placing funds for
deposit using CDARS, some governmental unit depositors may be required by law or
policy to place funds only using a CDARS Reciprocal Transaction, in which the insti-
tution placing the funds for deposit using CDARS receives funds for deposit in an
amount equal to the amount of funds that was placed by the depositor using CDARS
with respect to the corresponding Order Date. When we place funds for deposit
using a CDARS One -Way Transaction, we will not receive matching funds using
CDARS.
Section 5. FDIC Insurance Information
(a) Deposit Insurance Coverage
In general, all accounts and deposits that you maintain with an Insured Institution in
the same insurable capacity (whether you are acting directly or through an intermedi-
ary) would be aggregated for purposes of the applicable FDIC insurance limit.
Insurable capacities include individual accounts, joint accounts and individual retire-
ment accounts. A tax identification number is not evidence of, and does not estab-
lish. an insurable capacity that is separate from another tax identification number
used by the same person or entity. Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of
the FDIC brochure -Your Insured Deposits — FDIC's Guide to Deposit Insurance
Coverage." You may also obtain information about deposit insurance coverage by
contacting the FDIC. Office of Consumer Affairs, by letter (550 17th Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20429), by telephone (877-275-3342. 800-925-4618 (TDD) or 202-
942-3100), or by e-mail (dcaintemetUfdic.gov), or by visiting the FDIC website at
www.fdic.gov. You may wish to seek advice from your own attorney concerning
FDIC insurance coverage of deposits held in more than one capacity.
FDIC deposit Insurance coverage applies to the principal and accrued interest
on all CDs and other deposit accounts maintained by you in the same insurable
capacity at a single Insured Institution. The records maintained by the Insured
Institution, us and our sub -custodian regarding ownership of CDs will be used to
estabish your eligibility for federal deposit insurance payments in respect of CDs
issued through CDARS. In addition. you could be required to provide cenain docu-
mentation to the FDIC before insurance payments would be released to you.
(b) Government Unit Deposits
The requirements for deposit insurance coverage of the deposits of the United States
govemment, state, county and municipal governments and their political subdivisions.
the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are specifically set
forth in regulations of the FDIC (12 C.F.R. 330.15). In general, such deposits will be
insured up to the SMDIA and individual departments and political subdivisions within
a govemmental unit may be eligible for separate insurance if certain requirements
are met. The use of separate tax Identification numbers by different departments or
political subdivisions of the same govemmental unit wip not by itself cause the
deposits of such departments or political subdivisions to be eligible for separate FDIC
insurance.
It is the obligation of each governmental entity to determine whether the require-
ments for deposit insurance have been met. Neither we, Promontory, not the insured
Institution issuing CDs to you are responsible for uninsured losses resulting from
placement of funds that are not eligible for deposit insurance.
(c) Deposit Insurance Payments
In the event that deposit insurance payments become necessary for your CDs, the
FDIC is required to pay the original principal amount plus accrued interest to the date
of the dosing of the relevant Insured Institution, as prescribed by law, subject to the
limits on FDIC deposit insurance coverage. No interest is eamed on deposits from
the time an Insured Institution is closed until insurance payments are received. We
will notify you if we receive any payments from the FDIC with respect to your CDs.
As an alternative to a direct deposit insurance payment from the FDIC, the FDIC
may transfer the insured deposits of an insolvent institution to a healthy institution.
Subject to insurance verification requirements and the limits on FDIC deposit insur-
ance coverage, the healthy institution may assume your CDs under their original
terns or offer you a choice between either receiving payment of the CDs or maintain-
ing the deposits at a different rate. We will advise you of your options in the event of
a deposit transfer.
As with all federally insured deposits, if it becomes necessary for federal deposit
insurance payments to be made on the CDs, there is no specific time period during
which the FDIC must make the insurance payments available. Neither we nor
Promontory will be obligated to make any payments to you in satisfaction of a loss
you might incur as a result of (i) a delay in insurance payouts applicable to a CD, (ii)
your receipt of a decreased interest rate on an investment replacing a CD that is
repaid prior to its scheduled maturity. or (ii) payment in cash of the principal and
accrued interest of a CD prior to maturity in connection with the liquidation of an
Insured Institution or the assumption of all or a portion of its deposit liabilities. Also,
neither we nor Promontory will be obligated to advance funds to you prior to payment
from the FDIC.
Section 6. Responsibility to Monitor Deposits at Insured Institutions; Publicly
Available Information
Funds we submit for placement on your behalf on any Settlement Date are placed in
CDs at enough different Insured Institutions to prevent the principal amount and any
interest to accrue over the term of each CD placed on that Settlement Date from
exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. It is your responsibility, however, to monitor the
total amount of deposits that you hold with each Insured Institution in order for you to
determine the extent of FDIC deposit insurance coverage available to you on
deposits at that Insured Institution, including the CDs issued through CDARS. See
Section 5 above, -FDIC Insurance Information,' for more information on FDIC insur-
ance coverage. The Insured Institution at which a deposit is made is responsible for
the full amount deposited with it, and neither we nor Promontory is responsible for
any insured or uninsured portion of any CD or any other deposit.
Publicly available financial information concerning the proposed and proposed
alternate Insured Institutions can be obtained by you at the website of the National
Information Center of the Federal Reserve System maintained at www.ffiec.govinici.
Neither we nor Promontory guarantees the financial condition of any Insured
Institution or the accuracy of any publicly available financial information about the
Insured Institution.
Section 7. Confidentiality of Information
We will provide your name, tax identification number and other pertinent identifying
information to Promontory, our sub -custodian, and other parties providing services in
connection with the placement of your funds and the Issuance and holding of your
CDs, We may also release such Information to (i) an Insured Institution that has
issued a CD to you, but only to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable
law, rule or regulation or a judicial order, and (ii) the FDIC in connection with a claim
