CITY OF CARLSBAD -AGENDA BILL
TITLE:
ADOPTION OF BANKING SERVICES CONTRACT
WITH WELLS FARGO BANK
ADOPTION OF CUSTODY SERVICES CONTRACT
FOR CITY INVESTMENTS WITH UNION BANK OF
CALIFORNIA
CITY MG%$@
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 300 \ - 1 q a , awarding a contract to Wells Fargo Bank to provide
banking services to the City of Carlsbad.
Adopt Resolution No. dco 1-143 awarding a contract to Union Bank of California to
provide custody services to the City of Carl&ad.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Banking Services and Custody Services for Citv Investments. The City currently receives banking
services from Wells Fargo Bank and custody services for City investments from Union Bank of
California. The contract with Wells Fargo Bank had a term of three years with an option to extend for
additional two years. The banking contract with the extension expired on January 31, 2001. The
current contract with Union Bank of California does not have a specific term but does allow termination
at any time with a thirty-day written notice from either party.
To prepare for the awarding of new contracts for banking and custody services, the City Treasurer
developed a process to solicit and identify institutions that would provide the best services at the
lowest costs. This process involved the following:
1. The firm of Money Matters, Inc. was employed to assist in the preparation and distribution of Requests for Proposals, and to analyze the proposals received.
2. To ascertain whether any cost savings would accrue if the same institution provided both
services, all banks that were in a position to do so were invited to submit proposals for both
banking and custody services.
3. Requests for proposals (Exhibits 3 and 4) were sent to a total of twenty banks.
a. Two banks made proposals for both services: Wells Fargo Bank and Union Bank of
California.
b. Two banks made proposals only for the banking services: Bank of America and U. S.
Bank. c. Four banks made proposals only for the custody services: City National Bank, U. S.
Bancorp, U. S. Trust, and Bank of New York.
4. An ad hoc committee was formed to review the analyses of Money Matters, Inc., interview the
two finalists, and determine a recommendation regarding the best proposals for banking
services and custody services. The committee consisted of three members of the Finance
Department, a representative from Money Matters, Inc., the Assistant to the City Treasurer,
and the City Treasurer as the chair.
The ad hoc committee unanimously determined that the lowest cost and best services would be
achieved with banking services from Wells Fargo Bank, and custody services from Union Bank of
California. (Exhibits 5 and 6)
The City Treasurer recommends that Wells Fargo Bank be offered a contract to provide banking
services, and that Union Bank of California be offered a contract to provide custody services. Each
contract will commence on February 1, 2001 and be for a term of five years. Each will allow for
sxtensions with a thirty-day written request. The City’s prior agreement with Wells Fargo Bank
?age 2 of Agenda Bill # 1 b 1 \%b
expired on January 31, 2001. The City’s agreement with Union Bank of California does not have a specific term but does allow termination at any time with a thirty-day written notice from either party.
Since that date and while the terms of the attached Agreement were being negotiated, both Wells
Fargo Bank and Union Bank of California continued to provide the City with banking services and
custody services respectively, without the benefit of an agreement. It is recommended that the City
Council ratify the provision of these services and make the effective date of the attached Agreement
February 1,200l.
All transaction rates proposed by both Wells Fargo Bank and Union Bank of California are guaranteed for the entire term of five years. Based on the current type and volume of required services, it is
anticipated that the total cost of banking services and custody services would remain the same,
approximately $4200 per month and $400 per month for banking and custody, respectively. However,
these total costs will increase as the number of transactions increase.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Assuming that the number of transactions for each service will increase at an annual rate of 3%, the
twelve-month cost for each contract is projected as follows:
Banking Custody
Service Service
First Year
Second Year
Third Year
Fourth Year
Fifth Year
$50,400 $4,800
51,900 4,940
53,500 5,100
55,100 5,250
56,800 5,400

MASTER AGREEMENT
for
TREASURY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
This Master Agreement for Treasury Management Services (“Agreement”) is entered into this
1st day of February, 2001 between WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”)
and the undersigned (“Company”).
Bank provides certain treasury management services to its business and commercial
customers, and Company anticipates that it will from time to time engage Bank to perform one
or more of those services in accordance with this Agreement (each a “Service”).
For each Service, the following documents (collectively the “Service Documentation”), as each
may be amended from time to time, contain the terms, conditions and fees governing the
provision of that Service to Company and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on whose behalf
Company is acting:
. Master Agreement for Treasury Management Services;
. Service Description for each Service;
. Security Procedure Agreement for a Service;
l Account Agreement for Company’s Business or Commercial deposit accounts
related to a Service;
. Set-up Form(s) for a Service;
n User Guide for a Service;
n Any agreement with Bank governing access to a Service through the Internet,
including without limitation, the Commercial Electronic Office (CEO) Online Access
Agreement; and
n Any other document referred to in one of these documents as incorporated in or a
part of the document or the agreement contained in the document.
Company, for itself and on behalf of each of those subsidiaries and affiliates, agrees to be
bound by such terms and conditions, and the term “Company” as used in the Service
Documentation includes Company and each of those subsidiaries or affiliates. As used in the
Service Documentation:
. “Account Agreement” means, for each Service, the agreement between Company
and Bank governing each deposit account at Bank related to the Service;

. “Security Procedure Agreement” means, for each Service involving a transfer of
funds from an account at Bank, the written agreement between Company and Bank
establishing the security procedure(s) used to authorize a transfer;

Documentation for each Service that Company is currently receiving replaces the
existing agreement(s) with Bank or any predecessor to Bank by acquisition or merger
with respect to the Service, unless the Service is listed as an “Excluded Service” below
Company’s signature at the end of this Agreement. Any existing agreements with
respect to each Excluded Service will remain in effect and continue to govern the
Excluded Service until terminated in accordance with their provisions.
Bank and Company agree:

Company and agreed to by Bank on a case by case basis. Each Service is described

agent or employee of Company as set forth in a resolution of Company’s Board of
Directors certified in writing by an appropriate officer of Company to be current and
correct; or, if Company is not incorporated, by other appropriate procedure acceptable
to Bank. Company’s use of a Service after receipt of the Service Documentation for that
Service will confirm its agreement to the terms, conditions and fees set out in the
Service Documentation for that Service. Company acknowledges receiving a copy of
the Service Documentation for each Service it requested at the time it entered into this
Agreement. In the event of any conflict among the items constituting the Service
Documentation, the following will govern in the following order:

14.3
14.4.
The Service Documentation will be governed by and interpreted in accordance
with substantive federal laws, regulations and rules and, to the extent such laws,
regulations and rules are not applicable, the laws of the State of California. Any
Service Documentation or Service which is inconsistent with applicable laws,
regulations or rules will be deemed modified and applied in a manner consistent
therewith, and Bank will incur no liability to Company as a result of the
inconsistency or modification and application. Any Service Documentation
deemed unenforceable or invalid will not affect the enforceability or validity of the
remaining Service Documentation.
The related Service Documentation constitutes the entire agreement between
Bank and Company and supersedes prior oral or written representations,
conditions, warranties, understandings, proposals or agreements regarding a
Service.
Headings do not constitute a part of this Agreement. Portions of this Agreement
designated 4, 5, 7 10, 11, 12 and 14.3 will survive termination of this Agreement.
Any notice, electronic message, electronic record or other communication may
be sent to Company at its then current address on file with Bank. Company may
provide notice to Bank in writing by mailing, couriering or personally delivering, or
if allowed in the Service Documentation, electronically delivering it to the
attention of Company’s Relationship Manager at Bank, at the address where
Bank’s Relationship Manager is located. If it does, notice will be deemed
received when actually delivered. Bank will be entitled to rely on any written
notice or other written communication, or if allowed in the Service Documentation
on any electronic record or electronic message, believed by it in good faith to
have been signed or otherwise authorized by an authorized representative of
Company or otherwise appropriately authenticated and, except as expressly
stated in the Service Documentation, shall have no obligation to verify the
signature (including an electronic signature), or other authorization or
authentication. Bank will have a reasonable time after receipt of any notice,
message, electronic record or other communication to act on it. No provision of
the Service Documentation may be modified except in writing signed by the party
against whom the modification is to be enforced. No course of dealing or waiver
of any right on one occasion will constitute a modification of the Service

Documentation or be a waiver of the same or any other right on a subsequent
occasion.
Neither party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations with respect to any
Service or the related Service Documentation without the other party’s prior
written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. However,
Bank may assign its rights and obligations with respect to any Service or the
related Service Documentation to any successor by merger, consolidation or
corporate reorganization. No person or entity will be deemed to be a third party
beneficiary under any Service Documentation.
Bank may, without notice, refuse to honor any payment, transfer, release or
withdrawal order which would result in an overdraft, even if it has previously
allowed overdrafts. Bank may establish cut-off times, and may change those
cut-off times upon reasonable notice to Company.
Delivery and use of an informational Service occurs when the information is
provided.
Company represents and acknowledges on Company’s behalf and on behalf of
Company’s employees and agents, that except to the extent prohibited by
applicable federal and state privacy laws, Bank may monitor, record and retain
telephone conversations, electronic messages, electronic records and other data
transmissions at any time without further notice to anyone, and that Bank will
have no liability for doing or failing to do so.
Neither the provisions of any Service Description nor Bank’s performance of any
Service will relieve Company of any obligation regarding the maintenance of
records or from employing adequate audit, accounting and review practices
customarily followed by businesses similar to Company. Unless otherwise
provided in the Service Documentation, Company will retain and provide to
Bank, upon request, all information necessary to remake or reconstruct any
deposit, transmission, release, file, entry, batch or order relating to a Service
until thirty (30) days after Bank receives the deposit, transmission, release, file,
entry, batch or order.
Bank may grant credit to Company in connection with a Service, but is not
required to do so. It is never the intention of Bank to violate any applicable usury
or interest rate laws. Bank does not agree or intend to contract for, charge,
collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively “charge or collect”), any amount in
the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee, penalty or other charge, which
would in any way or event (including demand, prepayment or acceleration)
cause Bank to charge or collect more than the maximum Bank would be
permitted to charge or collect by any applicable federal or state law. Any such
excess interest or unauthorized fee will, notwithstanding anything stated to the
contrary, be applied first to reduce the true indebtedness, if any, and any excess
amounts will be refunded.
Unless otherwise specifically defined in a document included in the Service
Documentation for purposes of that document, the term “Banking Day” means

applicable funds availability policy, and the term “Business Day” means a day,
other than a Saturday, Sunday or day when Federal Reserve Banks are closed.

COMMERCIAL ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
May 15,200O
This Agreement contains the terms and conditions of the Company’s commercial demand deposit account or
commercial money market deposit account (the “account”) at the Wells Fargo Bank at which the account was
opened (“Bank”). This Agreement, together with the companion Contract for Deposit of Moneys, replaces any
prior agreements regarding the account. All fees and other charges for the account and the services referenced
below are detailed in a separate fee and information schedule which has been provided to Company. By using
the account after receipt of this Agreement, Company is deemed to have agreed to all terms and conditions set
forth below, as may be modified or supplemented by the most recent fee and information schedule provided to
Company. This Agreement, incorporates by reference the applicable fee and information schedule, funds
availability policy, and any applicable rate sheets for interest-bearing accounts that have been separately
provided to Company concerning the account.
Modification of Terms. Bank reserves the right to add, change, or delete (individually and collectively referred
to as a “modification”) the terms and conditions described in this Agreement and the fees contained in any fee
and information schedule. Except in the case of modifications in FDIC charges, Bank will send Company prior
notice of any such modification or notify Company by printing or enclosing a message on/with Company’s
account statement. If Company does not wish to be bound by any such modification, it may discontinue using
the service affected by the modification or close the account before the effective date of the modification.
Company’s continued use of the account, or, if the modification only affects a specific service, Company’s use of
that service, after the modification becomes effective will be deemed to be Company’s agreement to it.
Laws Governing the Account. The account is governed by the laws and regulations of the United States
and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the state of California, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
Company and Bank agree that any lawsuits, claims, or other proceedings arising from or relating to the
account or this Agreement will be venued exclusively in the state or federal courts in San Diego County,
California. Any term or condition contained in this Agreement which is inconsistent with applicable law or
regulation will be deemed modified and applied in a manner consistent with such law or regulation. Any term or
condition deemed unenforceable or invalid will not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions
of this Agreement.
Verification of Transactions; Right to Reverse Erroneous Credits. All transactions, including without
limitation those for which Bank has provided a receipt, are subject to Bank’s final veriication. Bank is not
responsible for a deposit until it has been received and verified by a Bank employee. A receipt received at the
time of deposit is not evidence that a deposit has been verified. Bank may reverse or otherwise adjust any
credit it believes it has erroneously made to the account at any time without prior notice to Company.
Affiliates. Deposits and withdrawals may be made at a bank affiliated with Bank (an “affiliate”), provided the
affiliate agrees. If a deposit is made at an affiliate, the availability of the deposit for withdrawal will be
described in the affiliate’s funds availability policy. If an affiliate cashes an Item for Company, Bank may place
a hold on the account for a corresponding amount of funds. If the Item is later returned to the affiliate for any
reason, Bank may debit the account at Bank for the amount of the Item.
-l-
Statements and items Paid. Statements, notices, and other information regarding the account will be mailed
to the address reflected in Bank’s records for the account, unless Bank agrees otherwise in writing. Company
agrees to promptly examine each statement received from Bank and to promptly report any erroneous credit
or debit. Company also agrees that within 30 days after -Bank mails or otherwise makes the statement
available, Company will report to Bank any claim for credit or refund due to an erroneous or unauthorized
debit, a missing signature, an unauthorized signature, or an alteration. Statements are deemed to have been
mailed on the first business day following the statement date. Within 6 months after Bank mails or otherwise
makes the statement available, Company will report to Bank any claim for credit or refund resulting from a
forged, unauthorized, or missing endorsement. Such reports are to be made by (i) calling the telephone
number listed on Company’s account statement for such purpose and (ii) submitting a written report to Bank as
soon as possible, but in any event, within the time frames described in this section. Without regard to care or
lack of care on the part of Bank, if Bank does not receive notice within the time frames specified above, Bank
is released from all liability for the Items charged to the account and for all other transactlons or matters
covered by the statement.
Check Endorsement Requirements. By Federal regulation, the area on the back of an Item between l-712
inches from the “trailing edge” and 3 inches from the “leading edge” is reserved for depository bank endorsement
(the “Depository Bank Endorsement Area”) and must be kept clear and unobstructed. The endorsement of the
payee or depositor should be placed on the back of the Item along the “trailing edge” but must not be placed in
the Depository Bank Endorsement Area. If Company marks or obscures the Depository Bank Endorsement Area
or Company cashes or deposits an Item on which the Depository Bank Endorsement Area is marked or
obscured, a delay may occur if the Item must be returned. Examples of marks which may obscure the reserved
area are endorsements, rubber stamp imprints, carbon bands and preprinted information. Any resulting delay or
loss is Company’s responsibility. COMPANY AGREES TO HOLD BANK HARMLESS FROM ANY LOSS,
LIABILITY, OR DAMAGE BANK MAY SUFFER OR INCUR ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO
MARKS APPEARING IN THE DEPOSITORY BANK ENDORSEMENT AREA AT THE TIME OF
ENCASHMENT OR DEPOSIT.
When Deposits Are Credited to the Account. All over-the-counter deposits or ATM deposits to the account
which are received before Bank’s established cutoff time on any Business Day will be credited (and will be
considered deposited) to the account as of the close of business that day, and will be reflected in that day’s
Ledger Balance. All other deposits (such as cash letter or lockbox) will be processed in accordance with
separate agreements or banking practice. All deposits received after Bank’s established cutoff time on a
Business Day or at any time on a day which is not a Business Day will be credited (and will be considered
deposited) to the account at the end of the next Business Day. Deposits placed in one of Bank’s “night
depositories” before the established deadline on any Business Day will be credited to the account at the close of
business on that same day; all other deposits placed in the “night depository” will be credited to the account at
the end of the next Business Day. All deposits are accepted subject to verification. Bank reserves the right to
make adjustments to the account for computation or other errors.
Use of Funds. Company’s use of funds deposited to its account will be governed by Banks separately
disclosed collection schedule and funds availability policy. The funds availability policy describes when funds
deposited to Company’s account will be available to be used for all purposes. Bank’s collection schedule
describes when deposits of Items that satisfy certain criteria will be considered collected. Uncollected funds
may not be available to be used for all purposes. There may also be a fee charged in connection with any use
of uncollected funds that is permitted by Bank. The collection schedule and funds availability policy may
change from time to time without prior notice.
Deposited Items Returned. Bank may charge back to the account any deposited Item that is returned, even
if withdrawals were made against it. This right of charge back is not affected by the expiration of any
applicable midnight deadline, provided (i) the Item is returned in accordance with a law, regulation, or rule
(including a clearing house rule) that is binding on Bank; or (ii) Company has breached a warranty made in
connection with the Item. Bank has the right to pursue collection of such Item, even to the extent of allowing
-2-
the payor bank to hold the Item beyond the midnight deadline in an attempt to recover payment. Collection
efforts may include redepositing such Items one or more times without notice to Company. Bank will not be
obligated to notify Company of the receipt of any notice of nonpayment with respect to a returned check or of the
initial physical return of the Item if Bank chooses to present it a second time.
Determining Balance; Debiting the Account; Order of Posting. A determination of the account balance for
purposes of making a decision to dishonor an Item for insufficiency or unavailability of funds may be made at any
time between the presentment of the Item (or earlier upon receipt of any notice of presentment) and the time of
return of the Item. No more than one such determination need be made. The account may be debited on the
day an Item is presented by any means, including without limitation electronically, or at an earlier time based
on notification received by Bank that an Item will be presented for payment or collection. Bank may pay Items
presented against the account in any order it chooses, unless a particular order is either required or prohibited
by law. In particular, Bank may, if it chooses, pay Items in the order of highest dollar amount to lowest dollar
amount (unless such a practice is specifically prohibited by an applicable state or federal law, rule, or
regulation). Bank may change the order of posting Items to the account at any time without notice.
Funds Transfers.
Rules of Funds Transfer Systems. Funds transfers to or from the account will be governed by the
rules of any funds transfer system through which the transfers are made, as amended from time to
time, including without limitation the National Automated Clearing House Association and any regional
association (each an “ACH”), Clearing House Interbank Payments Society, Society for Worldwide
Interbank Financial Telecommunications, and Electronic Check Clearing House Organization. The
following terms and conditions are in addition to, and not in place of, any other agreements Company
has with Bank regarding electronic transactions.
Notice of Receipt of Funds. Unless Bank has otherwise agreed in writing, it will notify Company of
funds credited to the account through Company’s account statement covering the period in which the
funds were credited. Bank is under no obligation to provide Company with any additional notice or
receipt.
ACH Transactions. The following terms apply to payments to or from the account that are transmitted
through an ACH. 0 Company’s rights as to payments to or from the account will be governed by the laws of the
state that govern the account.
l Credit given by a receiving bank to its customer for a payment from the account is provisional
until final settlement has been made or until payment is considered received under applicable
law.
l If final settlement or payment is not made or received, the receiving bank will be entitled to a
refund from its customer and Company, as the originator of the payment, will not be considered
to have paid Company’s customer. 0 If a payment is made to the account and Bank does not receive final settlement or payment is
not received under applicable law, Company will not be considered to have received payment
and Bank will be entitled to reimbursement from Company for that payment.
Additional Terms Applicable to All Commercial Money Market Deposit Accounts. Bank has the right to
require seven days’ written notice before Company withdraws money from any commercial money market
deposit account (“MMDA”). Preauthorized transfers, automatic transfers, on-line transfers, point of sale
purchases, payments to other persons, and transfers by telephone from Company’s MMDA are limited to a
total of six in any calendar month or statement cycle. Preauthorized transfers include automatic bill payments,
transfers to Company’s other accounts with Bank, or automatic transfers to other persons that Company has
authorized Bank to make. If Bank permits transfers from Company’s MMDA by check, draft, check card or
any similar order for withdrawal, no more than three of the six transfers may be made by such means in any
-3-
calendar month or statement cycle. If Bank determines that Company is exceeding the limits described above
on more than an occasional basis, Bank will, at its option, either close Company’s MMDA, transfer the funds
on deposit in Company’s account to another account that Company is eligible to maintain, or terminate
Company’s right to make transfers and write Items against its MMDA.
Security Interest; Bank’s Right to Setoff. Bank may setoff against any accounts of Company maintained
with Bank or any affiliate (including matured and unmatured time accounts) for any obligation Company owes
Bank, whether due or not, at any time and for any reason as allowed by law. Company grants Bank a security
interest in the account for the purpose of securing any obligations that may from time to time arise under this
Agreement. Bank may consider this Agreement as Company’s consent to Bank’s exercising its right of setoff
or asserting its security interest should any law require consent. Bank may fund all or a portion of any
overdraft in one of Company’s accounts at Bank by charging any of Company’s other deposit accounts at
Bank, including without limitation any transaction account that is part of a sweep account, even though such
charge overdraws the other account. The rights described in this section are in addition to and apart from any
other rights, including any rights granted under any security interest agreement, that may have been granted
to Bank.
Lost Items. When Company cashes or deposits a check or other Item at Bank, Bank acts as Company’s
collecting agent to collect the Item. Company has the risk of loss, including reconstruction costs, for Items lost
while in the process of collection. If an Item deposited in the account is lost in transit, Bank may reverse the
credit given for that Item. If an Item Company cashes at Bank is lost in transit, Bank may recover the funds given
to Company from any of Company’s accounts at Wells Fargo or any affiliate, or directly from Company.
Service Fees. Company agrees to pay Bank in accordance with the fees set out in the then current fee and
information schedule applicable to the account. Company also agrees to pay an amount equal to any
applicable taxes, however designated, exclusive of taxes based on the net income of Bank.
Usury Savings Clause. It is never the intention of Bank to violate any applicable usury or interest rate laws.
Bank does not agree or intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively referred to
herein as “charge or collect”), any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee, penalty or other
charge, which would in any way or event (including demand, prepayment or acceleration) cause Bank to charge
or collect more than the maximum Bank would be permitted to charge or collect by any applicable federal or state
law. Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee will, notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary, be
applied first to reduce the true indebtedness, if any, and any excess amounts will be refunded.
Earnings Allowance. The average monthly Investable Balance in a commercial demand deposit account may
earn an “Earnings Allowance” which, depending on the arrangement with Bank, may be applied against that
month’s service fees for the account. An Earnings Allowance in excess of the total monthly service fees cannot
be credited to the account as interest and may not be carried fonnrard to the following month. Earnings
Allowances are calculated on a 365/366-day year basis using an “Earnings Allowance Rate”, which is a variable
rate established by Bank (and which may be as low as zero percent). This rate is determined monthly and is
applied to the average Investable Balance for that month using the following formula: Earnings Allowance Rate
multiplied by the number of days in the month divided by 3651366 days multiplied by the average Investable
Balance for that month. As the factors used in the formula change, the Earnings Allowance earned on a given
average monthly Investable Balance will vary.
Payment of Fees; Finance Charges. Company may either be directly debited or invoiced for fees, charges and
taxes incurred in connection with the account. Except as otherwise agreed in writing, all fees and taxes will be
periodically debited against Company’s accrued Earnings Allowance. Bank may debit Company’s account(s)
with Bank for any amount by which the fees or taxes exceed the accrued Earnings Allowance, or may send an
invoice to Company for such amount which Company will promptly pay. Bank may assess finance charges on
any invoiced amounts that are not paid within 45 days of the date of invoice. Finance charges are assessed at a
rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the highest amount permitted by law, whichever is less. Charges for
-4-
accrued and unpaid interest and previously assessed finance charges will not be included when calculating
finance charges. Payments and other reductions of amounts owed will be applied first to that portion of
outstanding fees attributable to charges for accrued and unpaid interest and previously assessed finance
charges, then to other fees and charges. Debiting of service fees occurs on the twentieth day of each month, or,
if the twentieth day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day.
Dates and Special Instructions on Checks. Bank may, without inquiry or liability, pay Company’s checks
even though: (i) special instructions written on the checks indicate that Bank should refuse payment (e.g.,
“Void after 30 days,” * Paid-In-Full,” or “Void over $100n); (ii) the check is stale-dated (i.e., it bears a date that is
more than 6 months in the past), even if Bank has knowledge of the date on the check; (iii) the check is post-
dated (i.e., it bears a date in the future); or (iv) the check is not dated. In addition, Bank may pay in US dollars
the amount that has been MlCR-encoded on any check drawn by Company, even though Company has
purportedly drawn the check in a foreign currency.
Stop Payment Orders; Notices of Post Dating. The term “stop payment order” refers to both an order to
Bank not to pay a check and to a notice of postdating. To be effective, a stop payment order must be received
in a time and manner that gives Bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it before paying, accepting, certifying,
cashing or otherwise becoming obligated to pay Company’s check as provided in the Uniform Commercial
Code. Bank need not honor a written stop payment order for more than 6 months. However, there are
circumstances in which Bank may, in its sole discretion elect to honor a stop payment order for a longer period
of time without notice. Company must renew its stop payment order if it does not want the stop payment order
to expire. Each renewal is treated as a new stop payment order. If the check is presented for payment during
the period a stop payment order is effective, every effort will be made to return the check, provided the stop
payment order is accurate and complete. Bank may pay a check after an order has expired even though the
check is more than 6 months old. An instruction to revoke a stop payment order must be received in a time
and manner that gives Bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it. In addition to Company’s name and
account number, Bank requires the exact name of the payee, the exact check number, and the exact amount
of the check. All of the information must be correct in order for Bank to stop payment of a check. Bank will
have no liability for paying the check if any of the information provided in the stop payment order is incorrect or
incomplete. Bank may require information regarding the underlying transaction for which the check was
issued including without limitation proof that Company does not owe the money to the payee of the check prior
to making any decision regarding recrediting the account. If Bank recredits the account after paying a post-
dated check over a valid and timely notice, Bank may charge the account for the amount of the check as of
the date of the check. If Company does not comply with these conditions, Company will be responsible to
Bank for the full amount of the check, and Bank may charge the account for that amount.
Adverse Claims. If Bank receives a claim to all or a portion of the account that is adverse to Company’s
interest or if a dispute arises regarding the identity of the authorized signer(s), and Bank (i) cannot in good
faith determine the relative rights of the person(s) making claim to the funds or authority or (ii) does not believe
that it is otherwise adequately protected if it ignores the claim or dispute, Bank may without liability to
Company and in its sole discretion: (a) place a hold on funds in the account or any other Company account
subject to the claim or dispute, (b) close the account and send the funds to Company or to Company and the
claimant(s), or (c) interplead the funds. If Bank places a hold on the funds, the hold may be placed for any
period of time Bank believes to be reasonably necessary to allow a legal proceeding to determine the merits of
the claim or dispute to be instituted.
Overdrafts and Insufficient Funds. Bank may, at its option, pay or refuse to pay any Item if it would create
an overdraft without regard to whether Bank may have previously established a pattern of honoring such
Items. Bank may place a hold on balances in any other account of Company until the overdraft is paid or it
may setoff the amount of the overdraft against any other accounts of Company in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Bank has no obligation to notify Company before it decides to either pay an Item that
creates an overdraft or to dishonor an Item that is drawn against insufficient funds. If Bank pays an Item
against insufficient funds, Company agrees to repay any overdraft immediately. Company will be required to
-5-
pay for any costs of collection that Bank incurs in recovering the overdraft from it, including its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and court costs.
Acts and Omissions of Other Financial Institutions. When Bank cashes or collects an Item for Company
or accepts a deposit to the account (each of which is referred to in this Agreement as a “Deposited Item”),
Bank is not responsible for the actions or inactions of any other financial institution that handles that Deposited
Item. If a Deposited Item is lost or misrouted by another financial institution (a “Collecting Bank”) during the
collection process: (i) Bank will have no responsibility to Company for the actions or inactions of the Collecting
Bank; (ii) Bank may charge the account for the amount of the Deposited Item (and reverse any interest that
may have accrued to the account in connection with the Deposited Item); and (iii) Company agrees to
cooperate with Bank in recreating the Deposited Item.
Checks Presented Over-the-Counter for Payment by a Non-Customer. If a check drawn against the account is presented over-the-counter for payment by a person who is not a deposit customer of Bank, Bank
may charge a fee to the person presenting the check as a condition for payment of the check. Bank may
require. identification acceptable to Bank and not prohibited by law, including a fingerprint of the person
presenting the check. Bank may dishonor the check if the person refuses to pay the fee or provide the
identification requested by Bank.
Forgeries or Missing Signatures; Alterations. Bank will have no responsibility for reviewing the number or
combination of signatures on an Item drawn against the account. This means that if Company has indicated
that more than one signature is required in connection with an Item drawn on the account, Bank will have no
liability to Company if a transaction is conducted on or through the account contrary to the signature
requirements Company has specified, provided at least one of the required signatures appears on the Item.
Bank will have no liability to Company for failing to detect a forged signature or an alteration of an Item, if the
forgery or alteration is such that a reasonable person could not reasonably be expected to detect it.
Limitation of Liability; Indemnification. WHETHER IN CONNECTION WlTH A SERVICE OR THE
ACCOUNT, IN NO EVENT WILL BANK, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ANY
CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT OR TORT OR WHETHER THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES WAS
KNOWN TO BANK Except to the extent that Bank is liable, Company agrees to indemnify and hold Bank, its
directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from all claims, demands, judgments, and expenses
(including their reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) arising out of or in any way connected with
performance under this Agreement. Company agrees that this indemnification will survive termination of this
Agreement.
Legends. Company is responsible for all losses, claims, damages or expenses that result from a restrictive
legend or notation on Company’s checks.
Facsimile or Mechanical Signatures. If Company uses a facsimile or other mechanical signature (including
a stamp) to sign Items or endorse Items, Bank may rely on that signature as Company’s authorized signature
without regard to when or by whom or by what means such signature may have been made or affixed to an
Item deposited to the account or drawn against or otherwise debited from the account. If Company uses a
facsimile or other mechanical signature (including a stamp) to sign or endorse Items, Bank may also
conclusively treat as authorized any signature that reasonably resembles Company’s facsimile or mechanical
signature.
Lost or Stolen Checks. Company is in the best position to prevent the wrongful use of the account. If
Company’s checks are lost or stolen, Company must immediately notify Bank at the telephone number listed on
Company’s account statement for such purpose. Failure to do so will hamper Bank’s ability to prevent loss and
will, therefore, relieve Bank of any liability regarding the checks. Upon such notification, Bank may at its
discretion, close the account and open a new one. All checks will then be returned as “Account Closed” unless
-6-
Company specifically requests that a particular check be paid. (To make such an exception, Bank must agree to
provide the service and Company must in a timely manner provide Bank with the check number, dollar amount
and the name of the payee.) If third parties make regular deposits to or withdrawals from the account (such as
wires or ACH transfers), Company must notify those parties of the new account number immediately.
Protection Against Counterfeit Checks. Company acknowledges that there is a growing risk of loss
resulting from the increasing use of counterfeit checks. Company recognizes that the account is susceptible
to losses from counterfeit checks. Company is aware that Bank offers a service in conjunction with Bank’s
account reconcilement plan services that is known as “Positive Pay”. Positive Pay is an effective means of
controlling the risk arising from counterfeit checks. Bank has advised Company that if it does not use the
Positive Pay service, Bank will be unable to prevent losses from counterfeit checks and Company will be
treated as having assumed the risk of those losses.
Internal Controls. Company shares responsibility for preventing the fraudulent or unauthorized use of the
account. Company agrees to take reasonable steps to ensure the integrity of its internal procedures with respect
to its checks and the account.
Payment Authorization Service. Company may, by executing and delivering to Bank a Payment Authorization
Service Setup Form (“Setup Form”), elect to utilize Bank’s Payment Authorization Service for the account. Under
the terms of such service, Bank will, without Company’s specific approval as to any particular Item, (i)
automatically return unpaid (marked “REFER TO MAKER”) Items drawn against the account which are
presented to Bank, and which exceed the “Maximum Dollar Authorized Payment Amount” specified on the Setup
Form, (ii) refuse encashment of Items drawn against the account which are presented to Bank through its
branch/store network, and which exceed the “Maximum Check Cashing Amount” specified on the Setup Form,
(iii) refuse withdrawal requests against the account which are presented to Bank through its branch/store
network, and which exceed the “Maximum over the Counter Withdrawal Amount” specified on the Setup Form,
and/or (iv) refuse encashment of Items drawn against the account which are presented to Bank throught its
branch/store network, and which are made payable to an individual.
Transferring an Interest in the Account. The account may not be pledged, assigned, or in any other
manner transferred, whether in whole or in part, without the written agreement of Bank. Bank does not have
to accept or in any way recognize the transfer.
Interest-Bearing Accounts. If the account earns interest, the account is a variable-rate account. Bank may
in its sole discretion change the interest rate on the account at any time. If an Item, such as a check, is
deposited to the account, interest begins to accrue no later than the Business Day Bank receives credit for the
deposit of that Item.
Checking Subaccounts. For each checking account, Bank may establish on Company’s behalf, a master
account and two subaccounts. All information that is made available to Company about the account will be at
the master account level. The subaccounts are comprised of a savings account and a transaction account. At
the beginning of each statement period, Bank will allocate funds between the two subaccounts as it deems
appropriate. Checks received by Bank that are drawn against the master account will be presented for
payment against the transaction subaccount. Funds will be transferred from the savings subaccount to cover
checks presented against the transaction subaccount as may be needed. On the sixth transfer from the
savings subaccount during a statement period all of the funds on deposit in the savings subaccount will be
transferred to the transaction subaccount. If the account earns interest, the use of subaccounts will not affect
the interest earned.
Target Balance Accounts. If Company maintains multiple accounts at Bank, Company may designate in
writing one such account as its “Principal Account” and one or more additional accounts as “Target Balance
Accounts”. For each Target Balance Account, Company will separately specify to Bank in writing the Ledger
Balance or Collected Balance which Company wishes to maintain in such account (the “Target Balance”). At
-7-
the end of each Business Day, Bank will determine the applicable balance on deposit in each Target Balance
Account. If the applicable balance in a Target Balance Account exceeds its Target Balance, Bank will transfer
from the Target Balance Account to the Principal Account such funds as are necessary to bring the applicable
balance to the Target Balance. If the applicable balance is less than the Target Balance, Bank will transfer
from the Principal Account to the Target Balance Account such funds as are necessary to bring the applicable
balance to the Target Balance. Bank may, but will not be required to, transfer funds if the transfer would
create an overdraft or exceed the Collected Balance then on deposit in the Principal Account.
CheXstoF Service. Company may elect to utilize Bank’s CheXstor Service in connection with the account.
As part of this service, Bank will maintain microfilm records of all Iterhs paid against the account for a period of
seven years or any longer period required by applicable law (“Record Period”). Canceled Items are shredded
and recycled as part of Bank’s commitment to improve the environment. Under this service, Bank will provide
a photocopy of any Item posted against the account which Company requests during the Record Period.
Company may request a photocopy electronically via its personal computer or by contacting Bank at the
telephone number listed on Company’s account statement for such purpose. If Bank fails to provide Company
with a copy of an Item Company requests during the Record Period, Bank will reimburse Company for (and
Bank’s liability will be limited to) any direct loss Company incurs as a result of the Item’s unavailability (not to
exceed the amount of the Item). Bank will require Company to substantiate any claimed loss.
Legal Process. Bank may accept and act on any legal process that it believes is valid, whether served in
person, by mail or by facsimile transmission, at any Bank location. Legal process includes a levy, garnishment
or attachment, tax levy or withholding order, injunction, restraining order, subpoena, search warrant,
government agency request for information, forfeiture, or other legal process relating to the account. Any such
legal process is subject to Bank’s security interest and right of setoff. Bank will not notify Company of a grand
jury subpoena affecting its account. Any fees or expenses Bank incurs in responding to any such legal
process that are not subject to statutory reimbursement procedures may be charged against any account
Company maintains with Bank. Bank will not have any liability if there are insufficient available funds to pay
Company’s Items because Bank has withdrawn funds from the account or in any way restricted Company’s
access to funds because of legal process.
Disclosure of Information. Generally, Bank will not disclose information about Company’s accounts, but
may do so under the following circumstances: (i) to comply with a statute, regulation, or rule; (ii) in connection
with examinations by state and federal banking authorities; (iii) to comply with any legal process, including
without limitation a subpoena, search warrant or other order of a government agency or court; (iv) when Bank
determines that disclosure is necessary or appropriate in order to complete a transaction; (v) to verify the
existence and condition of the account for a third party, such as a merchant or credit bureau; (vi) to provide
information to Company’s legal representative or successor; (vii) when reporting the involuntary closure of the
account; (viii) when Bank concludes that disclosure is necessary to protect Company, the account, or the
interests of Bank; (ix) to agents, independent contractors, and other representatives of Bank in connection with
the servicing or processing of the account or account transactions, account analysis, or similar purposes; (x) to
its affiliated banks and companies; or (xi) if Company gives its permission.
Inactive Accounts. If the account has had no withdrawal or deposit activity, and Bank has had no contact from
Company regarding the account for one year, the account will be considered inactive and Bank may cease
sending account statements. Service fees and other terms applicable to active accounts, including all changes to
these terms, will apply to the account while it is inactive. If the account has any deposit or withdrawal activity or
Company contacts Bank about the account, it will be reinstated as an active account.
Closing the Account. Either Company, through its authorized signer(s), or Bank may close the account at any
time without prior notice. If the signature of more than one authorized signer is required for signing checks, the
same number of authorized signers will be required for Company to close its account. Instructions received by
facsimile to close the account will not be accepted. Closure of the account will not affect Company’s obligation to
pay Wells Fargo any amounts owed with respect to the account.
-6-
Customer Service. In the event of questions or errors regarding Company’s account transactions, records or
statements Company should immediately call the telephone number listed on Company’s account statement for
such purpose.
Warranty. In addition to any other warranties that Company makes by law or agreement, Company also
warrants that all signatures on any Deposited Items are authentic and authorized.
Monitoring Telephone Communications. To ensure that Company’s inquiries are handled promptly,
courteously, and accurately, telephone calls between Company and Bank may be recorded or monitored by
supervisory personnel.
Credit Reports. Subject to applicable federal and state fair credit reporting laws, Company authorizes Bank to
obtain credit reports and make whatever other inquiries Bank deems appropriate concerning Company or any
individual designated as an “authorized signer,, on the account.
Questions. Company’s relationship manager can answer questions and assist to resolve any issues that may
arise from time to time.
Miscellaneous. This Agreement will constitute the entire agreement between Bank and Company and
supersede prior oral or written representations, conditions, warranties, understandings, proposals or
agreements regarding the account. Headings do not constitute a part of this Agreement. Any notice or other
communication may be sent to Company at its then current address on file with Bank. Bank will have a
reasonable time after receipt of any notice or other communication to act on it. No person or entity will be
deemed to be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement. Bank may establish cut-off times, and may
change those cut-off times upon reasonable notice to Company.

COMMERCIAL DEPOSITORY SERVICE DESCRIPTION
This Service Description contains provisions which, in addition to the provisions contained in the Master
Agreement for Treasury Management Services between Bank and Company (the “Agreement”), will
govern Company’s ordering of cash from Bank’s cash vault, and Company’s delivery to Bank, at Bank’s
cash vault or night depository locations, of containers containing cash, checks, other negotiable
instruments or food coupons for deposit to Company’s account at Bank (collectively, the “Services”).

in the Cash Request, shipments of cash (each a “Cash Shipment”) in bags or other containers (“Cash Bags”). Bank is authorized to act upon any Cash Request Bank receives in accordance with this Service Description, and which Bank believes in good faith to have been made by an authorized representative of
Company. Bank has no obligation whatsoever to verify, and will not be liable for its failure to verify or investigate, any Cash Request.

from time to time. Bank reserves the right to suspend its cash ordering and delivery service at any time
without notice.
1.3 Companv’s Authorized Representatives: Company will promptly certify to Bank the identity of the person with whom Bank is authorized to communicate regarding authorization codes or other security procedures, and of Company’s Agent authorized to accept delivery of cash.

Company to promptly notify Bank of any change in the person or Agent so authorized by Company.
1.4 Debit of Account: On the Business Day that Bank delivers any Cash Shipment to Company’s Agent, Bank is authorized to debit Company’s designated account (“Designated Account”) for
the aggregate amount of the shipment. Company must maintain collected balances in the Designated Account (which may not be a subaccount) sufficient at all times to cover fully any debit. Bank has no
obligation to release a requested Cash Shipment or any portion thereof to Company’s Agent unless there are sufficient collected funds in the Designated Account to fully cover the amount of the Shipment at the
time the Shipment is to be made available to Company’s Agent. If Company fails to specify a Designated Account to Bank, Bank may debit any account which Company maintains with Bank for the amount of a
requested Cash Shipment.

the Shipment. In the event that the difference cannot be resolved, Bank’s count of the amount of the disputed Shipment will be conclusive and binding on Company.
Delivery and Processing of Deposit Shipments at Bank’s Cash Vault The following
procedures will govern Company’s delivery of currency, coin, checks, other negotiable
instruments or food coupons (each a “Deposit Shipment”) to Bank’s cash vault locations, and
Bank’s processing of such Deposit Shipments:
2.1 Use of Aoent to Deliver Shioments: Company will deliver Deposit Shipments in deposit bags or other containers (“Deposit Bags”) to one of Bank’s cash vaults via an armored car service acting
as Company’s agent (“Agent”). Company is responsible for making all arrangements with its Agent for delivery of Deposit Shipments. Bank may accept Deposit Shipments from any person Bank believes in
good faith to be Company’s Agent. The delivery of a Deposit Bag to Bank or Banks receipt for it on a manifest will not be deemed proof of Bank’s receipt of the contents listed on the deposit slip contained in
the Deposit Bag or Company’s records. Bank witI have no responsibility for any Deposit Bag or its contents delivered to one of Bank’s cash vaults until the Deposit Bag is accepted by Bank in accordance
with its procedures and the contents of the Deposit Bag are counted by Bank.
2.2 Delivers Procedures: In delivering a Deposit Shipment to Bank’s cash vault, Company agrees to comply (and to cause its Agent to comply) with the following procedures:
. Deliver Deposit Bags only at the locations, on the days, and during the hours published by Bank from time to time;
. Properly endorse all checks and other negotiable instruments included in a Deposit Shipment;
l Use only Bank-approved Deposit Bags that are properly secured;
l Specify the number of Deposit Bags belonging to Company which are included in the overall shipment
delivered to Bank, as well as the contents of each Deposit Bag, on a delivery manifest, a copy of which Company’s Agent will provide to Bank at the time of delivery;
l Obtain the signature of Bank’s employee who accepts delivery on that portion of the delivery manifest
which the Agent retains; and
1 Retain a copy of the receipt or other document covering each Deposit Bag delivered by Company to
its Agent for at least one year from the date of delivery to Company’s Agent.
Company agrees that Deposit Bags will be used only for the deposit of currency, coin, checks, other negotiable instruments or food coupons (collectively “items”), and will not be used in any
unauthorized manner or for any unlawful purpose. As to any property other than items included in a
Deposit Bag, Bank will not be deemed a bailee and will have no liability for any loss of or damage to such
property which may occur.
2.3 Cut-off Time; Deposit to Designated Account: If a Deposit Shipment is received at
one of Bank’s cash vaults on a Business Day before Bank’s published “cut-off time” for that cash vault, the aggregate amount of the deposits in such Shipment will be credited on that Business Day to the
account with Bank specified on the deposit slip for that Shipment (the “Depository Accounr). If a Deposit Shipment is received at a cash vault on a Business Day after Bank’s “cut-off time,” the aggregate amount
of the deposits in that Shipment will be credited to the Depository Account on the next succeeding
Business Day. Bank will not deposit any items received in any Deposit Shipment unless the account number of the Depository Account into which the deposit is to be made is specified on the deposit slip for that Shipment.
2.4 Processing of Deposit Shipments: Company authorizes Bank to open each Deposit Bag,
count the contents, credit the amount of items to the Depository Account indicated on the deposit slip contained in the Deposit Bag and process any food coupons, all in accordance with Bank’s customary
procedures. All deposits are subject to verification, and Banks count of the items will be conclusively deemed to be correct and complete for all purposes. No relationship of debtor and creditor will arise
Commerce/ ileposifofy SeMce Descriprion (Revised OM3/00) Page 2
between Bank and Company until the count has been completed and the deposit credited to the
Depository Account. Company acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to have Bank’s applicable
count and verification procedures explained to its representative and agrees that the same will be
deemed commercially reasonable. Company understands that no photocopying or microfilming of items
will be performed at any cash vault location.
2.5 Adiustment Procedures: If the aggregate amount of the items in any Deposit Shipment,
as counted by Bank, is less than that reported on the deposit slip covering that Shipment, Bank will debit
the Depository Account specified on the deposit slip by such difference and report the difference to
Company. If that Depository Account has an insufficient collected and available balance to cover the
debit, Bank will debit any of Company’s other accounts with Bank for the difference, and Company agrees
to promptly reimburse Bank for the difference (or any portion thereof) for which ‘there are insufficient available balances in Company’s accounts with Bank. If the aggregate amount of the items in any
Deposit Shipment, as counted by Bank, is more than that reported on the deposit slip covering the Shipment, Bank will credit the Depository Account specified on the deposit slip for the difference and
notify Company of the difference.
Delivery and Processing of Deposit Shipments at Bank’s Night Depository Locations. The
following procedures will govern Company’s delivery of currency, win, checks, other negotiable instruments or food coupons (each a “Night Deposit”) to Bank’s night depository locations, and Bank’s
processing of Night Deposits.
3.1 Night Depositorv Locations: Issuance of Kevs: Company may make Night Deposits to its deposit account(s) with Bank by placing the items to be deposited into disposable bags furnished by Bank
(each a “Night Bag”) and then placing the Night Bags in the night depository receptacle (“Night
Depository”) at one of Bank’s branches/stores (each a “Store”) listed on Bank’s Night Depository Set-up Form. Each office of Company listed on the Night Depository Set-up Form will receive one key to the Night Depository at a designated Store. Company will designate in writing to Bank the individuals to
receive the key for each of its offices; Bank may require such individuals to sign a receipt for the keys they receive.
3.2 Contents of Night Baqs; Deposit of Night Baqs: Company agrees that Night Bags will be
used only for the deposit of currency, coin, food coupons, checks or negotiable instruments properly
endorsed by Company (collectively “items”), and will not be used in any unauthorized manner or for any
unlawful purpose. As to any property other than items included in a Night Bag, Bank will not be deemed
a bailee and will have no liability for any loss of or damage to such property which may occur. Each Night Bag must contain one or more deposit slips listing all the items contained in that Bag and their total dollar
amount, and identifying the deposit account of Company into which the dollar amount of the deposit is to
be credited (the “Designated Account”). After each Night Bag is placed in a Night Depository, the Night
Depository must be securely locked. At the time each Night Bag is placed in a Night Depository the Bag must be securely closed and placed completely in the Night Depository.
3.3 Processina of Night Deposits: Bank may open each Night Bag and remove its contents
without Company or any of its representatives being present. The contents of each Night Bag will be
processed in accordance with Banks standard procedures, and if placed in a Night Depository before
Bank’s established “cut-off time” on any Business Day, those items acceptable for deposit will be
deposited into the Designated Account as of the close of business on that same Business Day. Night
Deposits placed in a Night Depository after Bank’s established “cut-off time” will be credited to the Designated Account on the next succeeding Business Day. Company understands and agrees that the
contents of a Night Bag will not be credited to the Designated Account, nor will the relationship between
Company and Bank be that of a debtor to a creditor with respect to any item in a Bag, until Bank has accepted the item for deposit into the Designated Account after counting all the items in the Bag and
calculating the total dollar amount of all such items.
3.4 Countinq and Adjustment Procedures: If Company’s records regarding the total dollar
amount of the items in any Night Bag differ from Bank’s calculation of the total dollar amount of the items
in the Bag, Company has the burden of proving that its records show the correct amount in the Bag or
Bank’s total will be accepted as final. If there is a difference between Bank’s total and Company’s total
commercial Ckpo&y Sewice fkscriition
(Revised OW&tUl)
Page 3
for the amount of items in a Night Bag (as Company’s total is shown on the deposit slip or slips in the
Bag), Bank will send Company a statement indicating the amount of the difference. In the event that the
difference cannot be resolved, Bank’s count of the dollar amount will be conclusive and binding on
Company.
3.5 Claims of Lost or Stolen Items: Company will have the burden of proving the amount of
any item which it claims was lost or stolen while it was at a designated Store and that disappearance of
the item occurred while it was at the designated Store. Company agrees to notify Bank immediately if
Company determines that any Night Bag or any item in a Night Bag has been lost or stolen while at one of Bank’s Stores. Company agrees that it will have total responsibility for each Night Bag and its contents until the Bag has dropped completely into a Night Depository.
4. Liability. Bank will have no liability to Company for any losses, liabilities, damages, costs or
expenses suffered or incurred by Company as a result of:
n any failure by Company to follow Bank’s instructions or procedures with respect to preparation and delivery of a Deposit Shipment to Bank;
l any failure by Company to follow Bank’s instructions or procedures with respect to preparation and delivery of any Night Deposit to Bank, use of any Night Depository, or any mechanical defect in any Night Depository, the lock or key to any Night Depository, or any Night Bag;
l any negligent or intentionai act of any agent or employee of Company;
l inclusion in a Deposit Bag or Night Bag of property other than items or of items belonging to someone
other than Company; or
n any failure by Company to diligently cooperate in good faith with Bank in reconstructing checks or
other negotiable instruments.
In the event of a loss involving cash, Bank will not be liable for damages exceeding the amount of the cash. In the event of a loss involving checks or other negotiable instruments, Bank will
make a reasonable effort but will have no duty to reconstruct them, and will have no liability to Company in excess of Bank’s costs to reconstruct the items, plus necessary costs to stop
payment, if applicable; and the face amount of those checks or other negotiable instruments
that cannot be reconstructed and will not be replaced despite Company’s reasonable efforts to
obtain replacement. Company agrees to cooperate fully with Bank in reconstructing checks or other negotiable instruments. As used in this Service Description, “reconstruct” means to
identify items to the extent of determining the face amount, the name(s) of the payee(s), any necessary endorser(s), the drawer and the drawee.
5. Special Instructions. Company may submit to Bank in writing any special handling
instructions it may have in connection with cash orders or deposits of items at Bank’s cash vault
or night depository locations. Bank may at its option accept or reject the instructions and so notify Company. Even if accepted, Bank may stop complying with the instructions upon prior
notice to Company if, in Bank’s opinion, continued compliance would increase Bank’s costs or
risks, interfere with its established or revised procedures, or diminish the efficiency of Bank’s
operations. Any loss attributable to increased risk resulting from a special handling procedure
will be borne solely by Company.

POSITIVE PAY SERVICE DESCRIPTION
This Service Description contains provisions which, in addition to the provisions contained in the
Agreement between Bank and Company (the “Agreement”), will govern Company’s use of Bank’s
Positive Pay check fraud reduction program (the “Services”).
1. Description of Services.
The Positive Pay Service will enable Company to instruct Bank to return counterfeit checks,
checks otherwise not validly issued and certain altered checks. The Service is available only in
conjunction with Bank’s Account Reconciliation Plan Service, which is subject to the terms of
additional Senrice Documentation, which Company acknowledges having accepted by using
this Service. Company will provide Bank with the complete issue date, serial number and
amount of each check issued (the “check issue data”) on the transaction account(s) at Bank
separately designated in the Positive Pay Service Set-up Form or otherwise in writing from time
to time (the “Account”). The check issue data will be provided to Bank in the format and
medium, by the deadline(s), and at the place(s) specified by Bank in the Positive Pay Services
Set-up Form or otherwise in writing to Company. On each business day the check issue data,
as Bank has recorded it up to and including that business day, will be electronically matched to
checks presented against the Account. The check issue data will also be provided to Bank’s
branches to assist its tellers in making decisions about cashing checks. If a check presented
against the Account does match the check issue data Company has given Bank (a “matching
check”), Bank will make final payment and charge it to the Account. Company will be informed
of the check number and amount of each check which is not a matching check in a report (the “Positive Pay Exceptions Report”) which Company must access through Bank’s Wells Electronic
BankedI or Information Reporting Services. This information will include checks which are not
matching checks because of encoding errors unless Company is receiving Bank’s Controlled Disbursement Service through Wachovia Bank, N.A. (“Wachovia”) (the “Greenville Controlled
Disbursement Service”) or Perfect Positive Pay Service through Wells Electronic Banker@. On
the business day on which Company is informed that a check is not a matching check,
Company may instruct Bank through We//s Electronic Banker or Information Reporting Services
to return the check, identifying the check by complete serial number and amount, and Bank will
do so if Bank receives the instruction at the place(s) and before the deadline(s) specified by
Bank on the Positive Pay Exceptions Report Bank makes available to Company. If Company
does not use Bank’s Image Positive Pay Service, it will make the pay or return decision based
on the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition information provided. If requested by Company, Bank will use reasonable efforts to provide a copy of a check, but will have no liability if it is
unable to do so prior to the deadline for returning the check. If Company misses the deadline
for requesting the return of a check or if a check is not a matching check because of an
encoding error, Bank will make final payment of the check and charge it to the Account. In
performing the Service Bank will be required to use only the check issue data that Company has
provided to Bank in the format and medium, by the deadline(s), and at the place(s) specified by
Bank.
2. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification.
Each check which Company has instructed Bank to return in accordance with this Service Description will be deemed not to be properly payable. Each matching or other check Company
Positiva Pey Service Description
(Revised 07/0AlO)o)
Page I
has authorized Bank to pay in accordance with this Service Description will be paid without
Bank performing its customary (or any other) check verification procedures, and Bank will have
no liability whatsoever for paying the check if its serial number or amount is altered, or if it is
counterfeit, bears a forged or unauthorized signature or was otherwise not validly issued .
Company waives, and releases Bank from, any claim that such returned checks are properly
payable and any claim against Bank for wrongful dishonor, or that such paid checks were not
properly payable. Company agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from any losses or
liabilities it may suffer or incur as a result of its return of a matching or other check at
Company’s instruction.
3. Stop Payment and Return Decisions.
The Service will not be used as a substitute for Bank’s stop payment service. Company will
follow Bank’s standard stop payment procedures if it desires to return a matching or other check
that was validly issued. Nothing in this Service Description will limit Company’s right to stop
payment on any matching or other check or Bank’s right to return any matching or other check
that Company has authorized Bank to pay in accordance with this Service Description if Bank
determines in its sole discretion that the check is not properly payable for any reason (without
Bank’s agreeing to, or being required to, make such determination in any circumstance) or that
there are insufficient collected and available funds to pay it in the Account,
4. Termination.
The Services will automatically terminate if the Account is closed for any reason. Termination of
the Services will not terminate Company’s or Bank’s rights or obligations under this Service
Description or the Service Documentation with respect to events or actions which occurred
before such termination.
5. SofWare, Hardware and Other Equipment.
Company wilt, at its own cost and expense, obtain, install and, at all times during its utilization of
the Services, maintain in good working order all software, hardware and other equipment
necessary for it to perform in accordance with this Service Description.
6. Survival.
Section 2 will survive termination of the Services.
7. Terminology.
Unless specifically defined in this Service Description, terms used in this Service Description
have the meanings, if any, provided in the Agreement, the other Service Documentation and
Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the state in which the Bank
office holding the Account is located, as each may be amended from time to time.

procedure will not be used to detect errors. Company will promptly notify Bank in writing of the
identity of each person authorized to receive information regarding the security procedure
(each singly or in the aggregate, an ‘authorized person”) and of any change in an authorized
person. Bank will have a reasonable time after receipt of a notice to act on it. Company will
establish and maintain effective internal procedures to safeguard against unauthorized
transmissions and batch releases. Company warrants that no individual will be allowed to
initiate transfers or batch releases in the absence of proper supervision and safeguards, and
Company will take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of the security procedure
and any passwords, codes, security devices and related instructions provided by Bank. If
Company believes or suspects that any such information or instructions have been known or
accessed by unauthorized persons, Company will notify Bank immediately followed by written
confirmation. Bank will have a reasonable time after receipt of notice to act on it. If a payment
order, or a request for cancellation or amendment of a payment order, received by Bank
purports to have been transmitted or authorized by Company, it will be deemed effective as
Company’s payment order or request and Company will be obligated to pay Bank the amount
of the payment order even though the payment order or request was not authorized by
Company, provided Bank accepted the payment order in good faith and acted in compliance
with the security procedure. If a payment order, or request for cancellation or amendment of a
ACH Services Description Page 3 (Revised 5BOlOO)
payment order, received by Bank was authorized by Company, Company will pay Bank the
amount of the payment order, whether or not Bank complied with the security procedure with
respect to that payment order.
2.2. Rejected Entries: Bank may reject any entry or file which does not comply
with the requirements in this Service Description, the Rules or the security procedure with
respect to which the Account (see Subsection 4.2) does not contain sufficient available funds
to pay for the entry. Bank may reject an entry received for credit to an account maintained at
Bank (an “on-us entry”) for any reason for which an entry may be returned under the Rules. If
an entry or file is rejected, Bank will make a reasonable effort to notify Company promptly so
that Company may repair and retransmit the entry or file. A notice of rejection will be effective
when given. Bank will have no liability to Company by reason of the rejection of any entry or
file, the fact that notice is not given at an earlier time than that provided for in this Service
Description or for any loss resulting from Bank’s failure to provide notice. If Company requests
that Bank repair an entry or file and Bank endeavors to do so, Bank will not be liable for its
failure to make the requested repair. Company will pay all charges and expenses Bank incurs
in connection with file repairs.
2.3. Payment Obligations; Settlement: Company will maintain in the Account
(see Subsection 4.2) as of the applicable settlement date and time immediately available’funds sufficient to cover all credit entries Company originates through Bank. If requested, the funds
will be placed on deposit with Bank before Bank delivers the credit entries to the ACH or gateway operator. Company’s obligation to pay Bank for each credit entry matures at the time
Bank transmits or otherwise delivers the credit entry to the ACH or gateway operator and is unaffected by termination of the Services. Bank is authorized to debit the Account for the total
amount of all credit entries on or before the applicable settlement date. Bank is not, however,
intending to make a loan to Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Service
Description or the other Service Documentation, Bank is authorized upon notice to Company
to place a hold on an equal amount of funds in the Account or in any other accounts at Bank or
any affiliate of Bank owned in whole or in part by Company, or to take any other action it
deems appropriate to ensure that it receives payment. Bank may charge the Account or any
other Company account at Bank or any affiliate of Bank for any debit, correcting or reversing entry which is later returned to Bank. Bank may also set off against any amount it or an
affiliate of Bank owes to Company in order to obtain payment of Company’s obligation as set
forth in this Service Description.
2.4. Cancellation or Amendment: Company will have no right to cancel or amend
any entry or file after its receipt by Bank. However, if the request complies with the security
procedure Bank may use reasonable efforts to act on it prior to transmitting the entry or file to
the ACH or gateway operator or, in the case of an on-us entry, prior to crediting a receiver’s
account, but will have no liability if the cancellation or amendment is not effected. Company
will reimburse Bank for any expenses, losses or damages Bank may incur in effecting or
attempting to effect Company’s request.
2.5. Returned Entries: Except for an entry or file retransmitted by Company in
accordance with the requirements of this Service Description, Bank will have no obligation to
retransmit a returned entry or file to the ACH or gateway operator if Bank complied with the
terms of this Service Description with respect to the original entry or file.
2.6. Preparation of Entries and Files; Processing Schedules; Reconstruction:
Each entry and file delivered to Bank, including any amendments, cancellations, reversals,
corrections or changes related to it will be prepared in accordance with the Rules, the Service
Documentation and Bank’s then current instructions. Bank will process each entry or file in
ACH Services Description Page 4 (Revised 5/30/00)
accordance with its then current processing schedule, provided (i) the entries or files are
received by Bank’s applicable cut-off time on a business day and (ii) the ACH is open for
business on that business day. Entries or files will be deemed received by Bank, in the case
of transmittal by tape, when received by Bank at the location stated in the ACH Services Set-
up Form, and in the case of transmittal by electronic transmission, when the transmission (and
compliance with any applicable security procedure) is completed. If Bank receives an entry,
file or batch release after its processing deadline, Bank will not be responsible for failure to
meet the deadlines of the ACH operator for processing and transmitting the entries or files. If
any of the requirements of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Subsection 2.6. are not met, Bank will
use reasonable efforts to transmit the entries or files to the ACH by the next applicable deadline of the ACH which is on a business day on which the ACH is open for business.
Except as provided in Section 2.4, in the case of an on-us entry, Bank will credit the receiver’s
account in the amount of the entry on the effective entry date contained in any instructions
accompanying the entry, provided the requirements set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this
Section 2.6 are met. If either of those requirements is not met, Bank will use reasonable
efforts to credit the receiver’s account in the amount of the entry no later than the next
business day following the effective entry date. Company will retain copies of each entry and
file delivered to Bank or will be able to fully and completely reconstruct each entry and file for a
period of five (5) business days after the applicable settlement date and will submit the copy or
reconstructed entry or file to Bank upon request.
2.7 Effective Entry Date: The instructions accompanying an entry or file will
specify a business day on which the entry or file is to be delivered to the ACH or gateway
operator (the “effective entry date”).
3. Provisions Applicable Only to Receivinq Services.
3.1. Notice to Receiver: Unless required by applicable law, Bank will have no
obligation to notify Company of the receipt of an entry, other than by showing it on the periodic
statement for the affected deposit account (see Subsection 4.2).
4. Provisions Applicable to Both Origination and Receiving Services.
4.1. Rules: Origination, receipt, return, adjustment, correction, cancellation,
amendment and transmission of ACH entries must be in accordance with the Operating Rules
of the ACH in which Bank is a participant and, with respect to credit entries which constitute payment orders, Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the state whose
law governs the Agreement, as both are varied by this Service Description and the other
Service Documentation, and as both are amended from time to time (the “Rules”). Company
acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review and agrees to comply with and be
bound by the Rules, except that so long as a Complete ACH Debit Block remains on a specific
deposit account of Company, Company will have five (5) business days to notify Bank of any
unauthorized ACH debit entry against such deposit account. If the unauthorired ACH debit
entry occurred as a result of Bank error, the five (5) day notification limit will not relieve Bank of
any liability as it relates to the error. Company will be responsible for promptly obtaining all
future amendments.
4.2. Account: Company will maintain at least one deposit account with Bank as
designated in the ACH Services Set-up Form (the “Account”).
4.3. Provisional Credit: Any credit Bank gives to Company is provisional until
Bank receives final settlement and the entry for which credit was given is deemed to be finally
paid as provided in this Service Description, the Rules and all laws, rules and regulations
ACH Services Description (Revised 5/30/00) Page 5
governing any aspect of the entry, including the laws, rules and regulations of the country to
which the entry was sent. If Bank does not receive final settlement, it is entitled to a refund
from the credited person and Company will not be deemed to have paid that person.
4.4. Reversing Entries: At Company’s request, Bank will make a reasonable effort
to reverse an entry, but will have no responsibility for the failure of any other person or entity to
honor Company’s request.
4.5. Warranties: Company acknowledges that under the Rules, Bank makes
certain warranties with respect to each entry. Company agrees to reimburse Bank for any loss
Bank incurs, including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, as the result of a
breach of a warranty made by Bank unless the breach resulted solely from Bank’s own
negligence or intentional misconduct.
4.6. Indemnification: Company acknowledges that under the Rules, Bank
indemnifies certain persons. Company agrees to reimburse Bank for any loss Bank incurs,
including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, as the result of the enforcement of
an indemnity, unless enforcement resulted solely from Bank’s own negligence or intentional
misconduct.
4.7. Identify Authorized Persons: Any person identified by Company in the ACH
Services Set-up Form or any certification, notice or other communication delivered to Bank may receive information, communications and notices regarding the Services, and is
authorized to transact all business, make all agreements and sign and deliver all documents in
connection with the Services. If the identity of such a person changes Company will promptly
notify Bank in writing. Bank will have a reasonable time after receipt of a certification, notice or
other communication to act on it.
4.6. Agents: If Company elects to use an agent with respect to the Services, Company, and not Bank, will be solely responsible for the acts and omissions of Company’s
agent, and its agent will, without limitation, be authorized to originate, receive, return, adjust,
correct, cancel, amend and transmit entries and files, and select the security procedure used
to authenticate entries. Company agrees that any security procedure selected by its Agent will
be treated as commercially reasonable for all purposes. Bank may rely on instructions it
receives from Company’s agent and need not make any inquiries to verify or confirm that
instructions are within the scope of the agency.
Company will certify each agent’s identity and any changes to Bank in writing. Bank
will be fully protected in relying on each certificate and on the obligation of Company to
promptly certify any change in the agents so certified. Bank will have a reasonable time after receipt of a certification or change to act on it.
Bank may at any time use agents and/or independent contractors to process entries or provide all or any other portion of the Services, and will be solely responsible for the acts and
omissions of its agents and independent contractors. However, Bank will not be deemed to be
the agent of, nor responsible for the acts or omissions of any other person, including without
limitation any Federal Reserve Bank, ACH, Internet service provider or transmission or
communications facility, any receiver or receiving depository financial institution (including
without limitation the return of an entry by such receiver or receiving depository financial
institution), and no such person will be deemed Bank’s agent.
4.9. Software, Hardware and Backup Requirements: Subject to Paragraph
1 .1.3., Company will, at its own cost and expense, obtain, install and, at all times during its
ACH Services Description
(Revised 5/30/00)
Page 6
utilization of the Services, maintain in good working order all software, hardware and other
equipment necessary for it to perform in accordance with this Service Description. Except with
respect to the Internet ACH Service, Company agrees to implement, on a periodic basis not
less than weekly, backup-measures, including, among other things, copying onto a diskette(s)
each week’s current data base files. With respect to the Internet ACH Service, Bank will
perform data base backup on a scheduled basis. In the event of any failure of such software,
hardware or other equipment, Company will deliver to Bank all data which it would otherwise
have provided that is necessary for Bank to perform Bank’s obligations in connection with the
Services.
4.10. Survival: Sections 2.3,4.3,4.5,4.6 and 4.10 will survive termination of the
Services.
4.11. Terminology: Unless specifically defined in this Service Description, terms
used in this Service Description have the meanings, if any, provided in the Rules, as amended
from time to time. As used in this Service Description, “negligence” will mean a material failure to use that degree of care that would be used under the same or similar circumstances by a
national banking association having substantially the same volume and type of ACH activity and approximately the same number, size and diversity of ACH customers.

CORPORATE CASH MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
This Corporate Cash Management Account Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the date set
forth below by and between the undersigned customer (“Customer”, severally and collectively if more
than one) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., a national banking association (“Bank”).
WHEREAS, Bank furnishes to its customers the Corporate Cash Management Account service
described below (the “Service”);
WHEREAS, Customer desires to obtain the Service from Bank;
WHEREAS, Customer and Bank agree that the Service will be provided by Bank to Customer subject
to the following terms and conditions.
Customer and Bank agree as follows:
1. Accounts: Customer shall designate an account (the ‘Concentration Account”) and may
designate an account for the receipt of investment earnings (the “interest Account”). The
Concentration Account and the Interest Account may be maintained at Bank or at an affiliate of
Bank (“Affiliate”). Customer and Bank shall jointly designate in Schedule A the desired target balance (the “Specified Balance”) for the Concentration Account.
2. Investment Sweep Option: On each Business Day, Bank will compute the excess funds
position (the “Investment Sweep Amount”) of the Concentration Account, based upon the
Specified Balance. Only collected balances above the Specified Balance will be swept. If the
Investment Sweep Amount is greater than zero, Bank will debit the Concentration Account and
Bank shall invest the resulting Investment Sweep Amount until the following Business Day in accordance with the investment sweep options designated by Customer (the “Designated
Investment(s)“), subject to the Designated Investment(s) being made available by Bank or its
agents. If the Concentration Account is maintained at an Affiliate, Customer authorizes and
instructs Affiliate to allow Bank to debit and credit the Concentration Account as provided herein. Bank reserves the right to discontinue the availability of a particular investment option at
any time without notice to Customer. Customer shall complete a CCMA Designated
Investments form identifying those investments desired by Customer. The Investment Sweep
Amount will not be swept until Bank has received a properly executed CCMA Designated
Investments form; upon Bank’s receipt of such form, Bank will begin sweeping the Investment
Sweep Amount within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such form.
If the Designated Investment(s) are not available on any given Business Day, Customer
instructs Bank to invest the Investment Sweep Amount in a “Repurchase Transaction” as
defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement attached as Schedule B and incorporated herein
by reference (the “Master Repurchase Agreement”). The Investment Sweep Amount will be
allocated by Bank each Business Day among the Designated Investment(s) and any
Repurchase Transactions by a proprietary computer program based on preset criteria for the
availability of investments. On the following Business Day, whatever the specific allocation of
Designated Investment(s), Bank will sweep the Investment Sweep Principal Amount to the
Concentration Account for Customer’s immediate use or reinvestment. However, the
CCMA 12/00 Page 1
3.
Investment Sweep Interest Amount will not be credited to the Concentration Account until after
the close of business on the following Business Day.
Designated Investment(s): In providing this service to Customer, Bank makes available to
Customer certain investment options. Customer directs Bank to sweep funds into the
investments designated by Customer. With respect to the investment options made available
under this Agreement, Bank has various alternatives for where, from and how the investments
are obtained. Bank may act as principal, as agent for the issuer or as agent for Customer in
doing so. When acting as agent for the issuer, Bank receives compensation from the issuer,
which may increase based on volume. Customer authorizes Bank to act in any of the above
capacities as desired by Bank. When Bank acts as agent for Customer for mutual fund
transactions, Bank represents numerous Customers as agent and such funds are held in Bank’s
name for the benefit of Customers. Bank provides all subsidiary accounting services on behalf
of Customers for these purposes and is the only party authorized to effect transactions in the
fund accounts. Customer authorizes Bank or its designee to transmit purchase and redemption
orders to the mutual funds, and otherwise interact with the mutual funds, consistent with the
terms of this Agreement.
If the Designated Investments of Customers choice are not available on a given day, the Investment Sweep Amount will be invested in whole or in part in a Repurchase Transaction.
The Master Repurchase Agreement and this Agreement will apply to all such investments. If the Investment Sweep Amount is invested in whole or in part in a Repurchase Transaction, the
repurchase counterparty (Bank or an Affiliate) will deliver to Bankers Trust, or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof, (‘Bankers Trust”) (or a similar party as determined by Bank), serving as a
third party custodian for the benefit of Customer and the repurchase counterparty, the securities
serving as collateral pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement and identified in
Customers daily confirmation of investment transaction(s). In the event of default by or
insolvency of either Bank or the repurchase counterparty, Bankers Trust will contact Customer
for instructions as to disposition of such collateral securities and distribution of any sale
proceeds thereof. Customer expressly consents to Bankers Trust (or a similar party as
determined by Bank) serving as third party custodian.
The Bank will use its “Best Efforts” to make available an adequate amount of securities for the daily investment of Concentration Account funds. In the event that the Bank does not have
adequate securities available for investment on a given day, the Bank reserves the right not to
invest any part of the balances in a Customers Concentration Account. In order to assist the
Bank in determining what amount of securities may be necessary for investment, Customer
agrees to notify Wells Fargo Institutional & Brokerage Sales at least one business day prior to
the business day that Customer expects to have more than its usual balances in its
Concentration Account for investment through the Service.
4. Interest Earnings and Expenses: The Designated Investment(s) and any Repurchase
Transactions will be structured to earn interest on a daily basis. On transactions where Bank is
acting as a principal and for Commercial Paper investments where Bank is acting as principal or as agent for the issuer, the interest rate is established by Bank and may be changed daily
without prior notice to Customer. Customer may obtain information on the current interest
rate(s) by contacting Bank. As full or partial compensation for performing the Service and in
connection with those Designated Investment(s) where Bank is acting as principal or agent,
Bank reserves the right to take a markup on the sale of the Designated Investment(s) to
Customer. The amount of interest earned by Customer, net of any markups, will be identified in
periodic statements to Customer. Bank will credit earnings to the Interest Account on each
Business Day.

overcharges, improper investments or other problems with the Service (collectively, “Error(s)“)
within ten (10) Business Days of Banks mailing of the first notice on which any such Error(s)

representation or warranty as to the suitability or safety of any of the investments made

employees, officers or directors shall be liable to Customer for any reason whatsoever related to

account. Bank makes no express or implied representations or warranties with respect to the
Service other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Schedules: All Schedules referenced in this Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference.
In case of any inconsistency between the Schedules and this Agreement, the Schedules will

Agreement, unless such terms are defined in the Schedules.
Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be deemed necessary or convenient, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all
such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

4. Margin Maintenance
(a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all
Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require
Seller in such Transactions, at Seller’s option, to transfer to Buyer cash or additional Securities
reasonably acceptable to Buyer (“Additional Purchased Securities”), so that the cash and aggregate
Market Value of the Purchased Securities, including any such Additional Purchased Securities, will
thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount (decreased by the amount of any Margin Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Buyer is acting as Seller).
1 (4 If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all
Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller’s Margin
Amount for all such Transactions at such time (a “Margin Excess”), then Seller may by notice to Buyer require Buyer in such Transactions, at Buyer’s option, to transfer cash or Purchased Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, after deduction of any such cash or any
Purchased Securities so transferred, will thereupon not exceed such aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount (increased by the amount of any Margin Excess as of such date arising from any Transactions in which
such Seller is acting as Buyer).
w If any notice is given by Buyer or Seller under subparagraph (a) or (b) of this Paragraph
at or before the Margin Notice Deadline on any business day, the party receiving such notice shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Securities as provided in such subparagraph no later than the
close of business in the relevant market on such day. If any such notice is given after the Margin Notice
Deadline, the party receiving such notice shall transfer such cash or Securities no later than the close of business in the relevant market on the next business day following such notice.
(d) Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed to such Transactions
as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.
@I Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the
respective rights of Buyer or Seller (or both) under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph may be exercised only where a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess, as the case may be, exceeds a specified dollar
amount or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Prices for such Transactions (which amount or
percentage shall be agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering into any such Transactions).
(9 Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer and Seller under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require the
elimination of a Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess, as the case may be, may be exercised whenever such
a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exists with respect to any single Transaction hereunder (calculated without regard to any other Transaction outstanding under this Agreement).
cc&l ma Page 71
5. Income Payments
Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income paid or distributed on or in
respect of the Securities that is not otherwise received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so
entitled if the Securities had not been sold to Buyer. Buyer shall, as the patties may agree with
respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall
reasonably determine in its discretion), on the date such Income is paid or distributed either (i)
transfer to or credit to the account of Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased
Securities subject to such Transaction or (ii) with respect to Income paid in cash, apply the
Income payment or payments to reduce the amount, if any, to be transferred to Buyer by Seller
upon termination of such Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant
to the preceding sentence (A) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a
Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or
Additional Purchased Securities sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (B) if an Event of
Default with respect to Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid or distributed.
6. Security Interest
Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not
loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, Seller shall be deemed to
have pledged to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under each
such Transaction, and shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of the
Purchased Securities with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all Income thereon and
other proceeds thereof.
7. Payment and Transfer
Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in immediately
available funds. All Securities transferred by one party hereto to the other party (i) shall be in
suitable form for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment in blank and such other documentation as the party receiving possession may
reasonably request, (ii) shall be transferred on the book-entry system of a Federal Reserve
Bank, or (iii) shall be transferred by any other method mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer.
Required Disclosure for Transactions In Which the Seller Retains Custody of the Purchased Securities Seller is not permitted to substitute other securities for those subject to this Agreement and therefore must
keep Buyer’s securities segregated at all times, unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller the right to substitute other securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute, this means that Buyer’s securities will
likely be commingled with Seller’s own securities during the trading day. Buyer is advised that, during any trading day that Buyer’s securities are commingled with Seller’s securities, they may be subject to liens
granted by Seller to third parties and may be used by Seller for deliveries on other securities transactions.
Whenever the securities are commingled, Sellers ability to resegregate substitute securities for Buyer will be subject to Sellers ability to satisfy any lien or to obtain substitute securities.
8. Segregation of Purchased Securities
To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the possession of Seller
shall be segregated from other securities in its possession and shall be identified as subject to
this Agreement. Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the holder, including a financial or securities intermediary or a clearing
corporation. All of Seller’s interest in the Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer on the
Purchase Date and, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement
cch4A
1240 Page 12
shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or
otherwise selling, transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased Securities, but no such
transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller
pursuant to Paragraph 3,4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or
apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof.
9. Substitution
(a) Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer, substitute other
Securities for any Purchased Securities. Such substitution shall be made by transfer to Buyer of such other Securities and transfer to Seller of such Purchased Securities. After substitution, the substituted
Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities,
(b) In Transactions in which Seller retains custody of Purchased Securities, the parties expressly agree that Buyer shall be deemed, for purposes of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, to have
agreed to and accepted in this Agreement substitution by Seller of other Securities for Purchased
Securities; provided, however, that such other Securities shall have a Market Value at least equal to the
Market Value of the Purchased Securities for which they are substituted.
10. Representations
Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into Transactions contemplated hereunder and to
perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if
agreed in writing, in the form of an annex hereto or otherwise, in advance of any Transaction by

principal), (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any governmental body required in connection
with this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect and (v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the

it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any of its assets are affected. On the
Purchase Date for any Transaction Buyer and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the
foregoing representations made by it.

the applicable Purchase Date, (ii) Seller fails to repurchase or Buyer fails to transfer Purchased
Securities upon the applicable Repurchase Date, (iii) Seller or Buyer fails to comply with
Paragraph 4 hereof, (iv) Buyer fails, after one business day’s notice, to comply with Paragraph 5
hereof, (v) an Act of Insolvency occurs with respect to Seller or Buyer, (vi) any representation

occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for
each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except
that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such
exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). The non-
P8ge 13
defaulting party shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to the defaulting
party of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

(c) In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, upon tender by the non-defaulting party of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Prices for all such Transactions, all right,
title and interest in and entitlement to all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions shall be
deemed transferred to the non-defaulting party, and the defaulting party shall deliver all such Purchased
Securities to the non-defaulting party.
WI If the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to
in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, the non-defaulting party, without prior notice to the defaulting
party, may:
(0 As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, (A)

manner) at such price or prices as the non-defaulting party may reasonably deem

owing by the defaulting party hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling
all or a portion of such Purchased Securities, to give the defaulting party credit for such Purchased Securities In an amount equal to the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid quotation from such a

together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with
respect to the relevant Securities).
63 As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, the defaulting party
shall be liable to the non-defaulting party for any excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the non-
defaulting party for Replacement Securities over the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Securities replaced thereby and for any amounts payable by the defaulting party under Paragraph 5 hereof or
otherwise hereunder. (9 For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each Transaction hereunder

No Waivers, Etc.
No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of
any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall
constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom

parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to

19. Intent
(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of
Securities subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).
(W It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Securities delivered to it in connection
with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the
United States Code, as amended.
(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository
institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each
Transaction hereunder is a ‘qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules,
orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction
would render such definition inapplicable).

(a) In the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;
(W In the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker
or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and
