This Agreement between you

electronic, online banking service that permits UBM customers to access
certain “business” oriented, online financial services through the use of the
World Wide Web. Products and services provided by UBM that you can access through ExecuBanc are also
governed by other agreements with you.
ExecuBanc, as
used in this Agreement, includes the following Internet based UBM products
and services: ExecuBanc,
ACH
Direct, and Electronic
Delivery of Imaged
Statements and Checks. In this
Agreement, we will use the term “ExecuBanc” to refer to all of
the above electronic services both individually and/or collectively. Additional
services may be available in the future that will be automatically covered by
this Agreement.
In addition to
this Agreement, UBM’s Privacy Policy and Online Security
Statement also apply to your Accounts. We suggest that you review these items in
order to understand all of your relative rights and responsibilities in
connection with your use of ExecuBanc.
You may use ExecuBanc
to access your UBM business Accounts through the Internet.
Currently, you can access your savings, checking and loan accounts at UBM.
You understand that by using
ExecuBanc
or by authorizing others to use the service, you have agreed to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and that no signature by you is required on
this Agreement. You agree to use ExecuBanc solely as provided in this
Agreement. When any transfer, payment, ACH transaction or online service
generates items to be charged to your UBM Account, you agree that we may
debit your Account without requiring a signature by an Authorized
Representative on the item and without prior notice to you.
We may, from time to time,
introduce new ExecuBanc related services. When this happens, we will update
the Website to include them. By using any such ExecuBanc related
service, you agree to be bound by the terms contained in this Agreement at that
time.
We may change the ExecuBanc
services and the terms, including fees, set forth in this Agreement at any
time. You will be notified of any such change as required by applicable law,
either by mail or by an electronic message. You understand that by using ExecuBanc
after a change becomes effective, you have agreed to it.
You agree to properly
maintain your UBM Accounts, to comply with the rules governing your UBM
Accounts, and to pay any fees associated with the use or maintenance of your UBM
Accounts. Any issue relating to a UBM Account or service with UBM
or any UBM affiliate which you access through ExecuBanc shall be
governed by the law(s) specified in the agreement for that UBM Account or service.
Your UBM deposit and loan
accounts can be linked together and accessed and viewed via ExecuBanc.
Your UBM
Accounts will continue to be governed by the Terms and Conditions of your
account and your loan agreements, except where it is noted in this Agreement.
This Agreement will control if there is a conflict with your other agreements
and this Agreement for ExecuBanc Services. In addition,
each UBM
Account and ExecuBanc service is subject to the following:
Through ExecuBanc, you can access your UBM Accounts to check
balances, transfer funds, view transaction history, view check images and other
information and receive UBM Account Statements and other related
documents electronically. You may choose the UBM accounts that you
want to access and by whom. You can also customize
the level of authority of such selected employees (“Authorized Representative”)
and you can limit their online access time when you provide us with your
account set-up information.
To access your UBM Accounts via ExecuBanc
you must have an Access ID, a Password and the required hardware
and software. You are solely responsible for having the required hardware and
software and for securing an Internet Service Provider (“ISP”). Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, you will generally be able
to access your Accounts via ExecuBanc at www.ultimabank.com
seven days a week, 24 hours a day. A transfer requested through ExecuBanc
before the transfer cutoff time on a business day will generally be posted to
your UBM
Account the same day. All transfers requested after the posted transfer cutoff
time on a business day or on a day that is not a business day, will be posted
on the next business day. Every day is a business day except Saturdays,
Sundays, and banking holidays.
At certain times, ExecuBanc
may not be available due to system maintenance or
circumstances beyond our control. During such times, you may use the UBM
TeleBanc service at (218) 435-2301 (if local) or (877) 692-2659
(toll-free), a UBM automated teller machine (“ATM”) or one of the
UBM facilities to obtain information about your UBM
Accounts.
You and each of your
Authorized Representatives will be provided a Password and Access
ID that will allow each of you online access to ExecuBanc. During your first
logon session(s), each of you will be required to change your respective Password.
Thereafter, your respective ExecuBanc Passwords can be changed
online at any time. Note that your ExecuBanc Passwords are “case
sensitive” and must be at least 8 to a maximum of 17 alpha, numeric or
special characters. It is highly recommended that your password(s) be changed
regularly. We highly recommend that you change your
respective Passwords regularly.
We are entitled to act on
instructions received under your company‘s Passwords and Access
ID. You are responsible for familiarizing all authorized signers with
the terms of this Agreement and for keeping your ExecuBanc Passwords
and Access ID confidential.
You can communicate with us
via e-mail. Please remember that we will not immediately receive an electronic
message sent by you. If you need to contact us immediately, please call
(218)435-2265 or (800)421-2588. No action will be taken on any electronic
message you send to us until we actually receive your message and have a
reasonable opportunity to act on it. You cannot use e-mail to make an account
balance inquiry, a stop payment or a funds transfer. You cannot use e-mail to
cancel a transfer, or a loan payment. Never send us your ExecuBanc Password
or Access ID or other sensitive UBM Account information
via e-mail.
All
of your daily transactions, payments, and funds transfers can be displayed on
your Account statement(s) via ExecuBanc. You
can also access and download such transaction data from either your current or
previous statement into your money manager software. You generally have
up to 30 days after the last day of your previous statement (or 30 days after
your previous statement is prepared) to export the information.
Our business days (“Business
Days”) are Monday through Friday, except bank holidays. Although transfers are
processed by UBM on business days only, you can initiate a transaction
through ExecuBanc 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, during maintenance periods the transfer or bill
pay may not be completed until the next business day.

Service Fees for more information on the features
offered by each plan and associated fees.
This Agreement
governs your ability to initiate Credit and Debit Entries via ACH
Direct, a Related Service of ExecuBanc, to
accounts maintained at UBM and other financial institutions
through the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") pursuant to the rules of
the National Automated Clearing House Association ("NACHA"). It also
defines our willingness to act as an Originating Depository Financial
Institution with respect to such Entries as set forth below:
The NACHA Operating
Rules, applicable to ACH transactions, have been separately provided to you.
You agree to comply with and be subject to the applicable NACHA Operating
Rules, as amended from time to time. Your specific duties and responsibilities
set forth in this Agreement shall in no way limit this undertaking. All
undefined capitalized terms used in this Addendum shall have the meanings given
them in the Operating Rules.
You are
responsible for requesting the creation of ACH Templates by UBM Online
Support and to provide them written notice of all changes to that
information. Note
that you are unable to change a Template on line after it has been created.
Maintaining Your Settlement Account
You agree to
properly maintain a Settlement Account with UBM, to comply with the
procedures and regulations governing these accounts, and to pay any fees
associated with the use or maintenance of these accounts.
You agree to
abide by our procedures and deadlines for originating Entries that may change
from time to time. You agree to conform all Entries to the format, content, and
other specifications contained in the NACHA Operating Rules.
You agree to
designate Authorized Representatives to act on the your behalf, who shall have
the authority to authorize all actions necessary in the preparation and generation
of your Entries. You agree that we shall not be under any duty to inquire as to
the authority or propriety of any instructions given to us by you or any of
your employees and we shall be entitled to rely upon all ACH instructions
conveyed to us.
We shall be
entitled to act upon the instructions of any person whom we reasonably believe
to be your Authorized Representative, whether or not you have authorized such
instructions. We shall not be liable for any loss, cost, expense or other
liability arising out of any such instructions.
ACH Exposure Limit Documentation
In the event
services requested by you may result in credit exposure to UBM, we may limit our
exposure by transaction volume or dollar amount and may refuse to execute
transactions that exceed any such limit. You agree, when requested by us, to
provide financial information and statements and other documentation that we
may request to evaluate our credit exposure and your credit-worthiness.
From time to
time, we may, in our discretion require that you irrevocably make available to
us, in actually and finally collected funds, the total amount of all ACH Credit
originations prior to the time we process the items (to "Pre-fund").
You may Pre-fund your credit originations by transfer from another depository
institution, or by maintaining a sufficient balance of actually and finally
collected funds in your account. Unless you indicate that you will Pre-fund in
another way and actually do so, you authorize us to deduct from your account
the amount needed to Pre-fund the ACH credits prior to processing the items.
If you fail or
refuse to Pre-fund the full amounts of your ACH credits in a cycle, we may, at
our discretion, refuse to process items that have not been Pre-funded. If you
only partially Pre-fund the amount of your ACH credits and you do not indicate
which items have been Pre-funded, we may, in our sole discretion, determine
which items shall be considered to have been Pre-funded, or may refuse to
process all items.
If you Pre-fund
the ACH credits, your obligation to settle in respect of the Pre-funded ACH
credit items up to the amount of the Pre-funding shall be automatically
satisfied and discharged and replaced by an irrevocable obligation of UBM
to settle for the Pre-funded items on the settlement date.
You understand
that you may cancel your use of ACH Direct at any time by
notifying us via e-mail. This will cancel any ACH services you have agreed to
but will not terminate your Accounts with UBM.
UBM may cancel this
Agreement and terminate your use of ACH Direct for any reason at
any time. We will try to notify you in advance of such cancellation, but we are
not obligated to do so.
Limit of UBM and Other
Providers´ Responsibility
UBM agrees to make
reasonable efforts to ensure full performance on all ACH transactions. We will
be responsible for acting only on those instructions that are actually received
and cannot assume responsibility for malfunctions in communications facilities
not under our control that may affect the accuracy or timeliness of messages
you send. UBM is not responsible for any losses or delays in transmission
of instructions arising out of the use of any participating financial
institution. We are not responsible should you give incorrect instructions or
if your payment instructions are not given prior to published cutoff times.
If a third party
sends ACH Entries to us on your behalf, you acknowledge that said third party
is your agent and you agree that you shall require any such third party to
comply with the provisions of this Agreement.
You agree to
indemnify each participating financial institution, NACHA, and the Federal
Reserve Bank from all claims, demands, liabilities or expenses resulting from
any failure on your part to exercise reasonable care in the creation of or
presentment of Entries, or to comply with any of the provisions of the
Operating Rules.
Any information
you receive from UBM is believed to be reliable. However, it can only be
provided on a best-efforts basis and is not guaranteed. We are not liable for
any deficiencies in the accuracy, completeness, availability or timeliness of
such information or for any investment or other decision made using this
information.
Except as
provided in this Agreement and in the absence of negligence on the part of UBM,
neither UBM, nor any participating financial institution is responsible
for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages arising
in any way out of the use of ACH.
If you need assistance
with ACH Direct, or if you need to communicate with us, you may
contact our Online Support at (218) 435-2265 (if local) or (800) 421-2588 (toll-free).
You agree that
we may record the conversations our employees have with you. We may do this from
time to time to monitor the quality of service and accuracy of information our
employees give you, and to ensure that your instructions are followed.
Our Online
Support can help resolve ACH problems but they are not authorized to
waive any provision of this Agreement.
ExecuBanc, in conjunction
with ACH Direct, enables you to transfer funds to or from your UBM
Accounts. The Electronic Funds Transfer Act provides you with certain rights and
responsibilities with respect to certain of these transfers, commonly referred
to as an Electronic Funds Transfer (hereafter “EFT”). Such rights and
responsibilities are fully described in our Electronic Funds Transfer
Disclosure that has been separately provided to you. You can also click
here on EFT Disclosure
for online access.
We will initiate
properly authorized and completed Funds Transfer Requests, as defined by UCC 4A
(subject to funds availability) communicated to us online or telephonically on
the date requested provided the request is received by us prior to the posted
online cutoff time and provided the request includes all required information.
We may make payments solely on the basis of the account number provided as
proper identification of the intended beneficiary.
We shall not be
liable for any delay or refusal to honor instructions for a transfer or related
act if in good faith we are unable to satisfy ourselves that the instructions
are given by an authorized employee. Our failure to verify or authenticate the
transactions shall not be evidence of any failure to exercise reasonable care
or good faith. If you did not authorize a payment order, the applicable provisions
of UCC 4A will govern liability.
We agree to make
reasonable efforts to complete all fund transfers as requested. We will be
responsible for acting only on those instructions actually received by us and
cannot assume responsibility for malfunctions in communications facilities or
acts of others not under our control that may affect the accuracy or timeliness
of messages you send. We are not responsible if you provide incorrect
instructions or if your instructions are not received prior to our published
cutoff times.
You have no
right to cancel or amend a transfer after we execute it. We may attempt to
revoke an order that has not been executed if the request is received in a time
and manner that gives us a reasonable time to act upon it. However, we make no
warranty as to our ability to revoke or cancel a transfer once made. You agree
to hold us harmless against claims of third parties when you revoke or cancel
any Funds Transfer instructions.
We will accept online
requests from an authorized employee to stop payment on any check, except for
cashier’s checks, official checks or other cash equivalent items. We will
process requests received prior to the posted cutoff time on the same Business
Day received. Requests received after the posted cutoff time will be processed
on the next business day. We must receive a stop payment request at a time that
will give us a reasonable opportunity to act on it prior to payment of the
item. Generally, stop payments are not processed until the cutoff time or later
on that business day.
STOP PAYMENT REQUESTS ARE
NOT EFFECTIVE IF, EITHER BEFORE OR WITHIN 24 HOURS OF WHEN THE STOP PAYMENT
ORDER WAS PLACED, WE HAVE ALREADY CASHED THE ITEM OR BECOME OTHERWISE LEGALLY
OBLIGATED FOR ITS PAYMENT. STOP PAYMENT REQUESTS ARE PROCESSED BY COMPUTER. WE
WILL ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY IF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED IS INCORRECT OR
INCOMPLETE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE CHECK TO BE PAID (i.e. incorrect check number,
amount, account number or date). ONCE PLACED, THE STOP PAYMENT ORDER WILL
REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR SIX MONTHS FROM THE DATE WHEN IT WAS AUTHORIZED. AN
AUTHORIZED BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE MAY RENEW THE STOP PAYMENT ORDER FOR AN
ADDITIONAL SIX-MONTH PERIOD WHEN THE EXPIRATION DATE ARRIVES. YOU ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING THE EXPIRATION OF STOP PAYMENTS. NO NOTICE WILL BE
PROVIDED TO YOU THAT A STOP PAYMENT IS EXPIRING. A fee will be charged for each
stop payment and extension of a stop payment.
In order to cancel a stop
payment, an Authorized Representative is required to fax or deliver a written
request to UBM. Stop payments cannot be canceled via e-mail.

and hold us, our directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from any
and all loss, liability, claims, demands, judgments and expenses (including

This indemnification is provided without regard to whether our claim for
indemnification is due to the use of ExecuBanc by you, or your Authorized
Representatives.
Corporate
and Partnership Authorizations
You represent that each
Authorized Representative who has been issued an Access ID and Password has
general authority from your organization to give instructions within the access
capability associated with such Access ID and Password (including general
authority over the movement of your organization’s funds and over accounts with
UBM),
all as evidenced by the banking resolution, partnership declaration or other
agreements you have provided to UBM, and that UBM has full
authorization from your organization to rely and act upon instructions
identified by such Access ID and Password.
You agree that we may send
notices and other communications, including Access ID and Password, to the
current address shown in our records, whether or not that address includes a designation

A REASONABLE
Acknowledgement

By using ExecuBanc,
you acknowledge and agree that this Agreement sets forth security procedures
for electronic banking transactions that are commercially reasonable. You agree

notice of possible unauthorized use as described above (and we had a reasonable
opportunity to act on such notice).
If we fail or delay in
making payment or transfer pursuant to your instructions, or if we make a
payment or transfer in an erroneous amount which is less than the amount per
your instructions, unless otherwise required by law our liability shall be
limited to interest on the amount which we failed to timely pay or transfer,
calculated from the date on which the payment or transfer was to be made until
the date it was actually made or you canceled the instructions. We may pay such
interest either to you or the intended recipient of the payment or transfer,
but in no event will we be liable to both parties, and our payment to either
party will fully discharge any obligation to the other. If we make a payment or
transfer in an erroneous amount which exceeds the amount per your instructions,
or if we permit an unauthorized payment or transfer after we have had a
reasonable time to act on a notice from you of possible unauthorized use as
described above, unless otherwise required by law our liability will be limited
to a refund of the amount erroneously paid or transferred, plus interest
thereon from the date of the payment or transfer to the date of the refund, but
in no event to exceed 60 days´ interest. If we become liable to you for interest
compensation under this Agreement or applicable law, such interest shall be
calculated based on the average federal funds rate at the Federal Reserve Bank
in the district where the Bank is headquartered for each day interest is due,
computed on the basis of a 360-day year.

LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR ATTORNEYS’
