Truth In Savings
Disclosure
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR ACCOUNT
AGREEMENT - This document, along with any other documents we give
you pertaining t o your account(s), is a contract that establishes rules
which control your account(s) with us. Please read this carefully. If
you sign the signature card or open or continue to have your account
with us, you agree to these rules. You will receive a separate schedule
of rates, qualifying balances, and fees if they are not included in this
document. If you have any questions, please call us.
This agreement is subject to applicable federal laws and the laws of the
state of Tennessee (except to the extent that this agreement can and
does vary such rules or laws). The body of state and federal law that
governs our relationship with you, however, is too large and complex to
be reproduced here. The purpose of this document is to:
- summarize some laws that apply to common transactions;
- establish rules to cover transactions or events which the law
does not regulate;
- establish rules for certain transactions or events which the law
regulates but permits variation by agreement; and
- give you disclosures of some of our policies to which you may be
entitled or in which you may be interested.
If any provision of this document is found to be unenforceable
according to its terms, all remaining provisions will continue in full
force and effect. We may permit some variations from our standard
agreement, but we must agree to any variation in writing either on the
signature card for your account or in some other document.
As used in this document the words "we," "our," and "us" mean the
financial institution and the words "you" and "your" mean the account
holder(s) and anyone else with the authority to deposit, withdraw, or
exercise control over the funds in the account. The headings in this
document are for convenience or reference only and will not govern the
interpretation of the provisions. Unless it would be inconsistent to do
so, words and phrases used in this document should be construed so the
singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular.
LIABILITY - You agree, for yourself (and the person or entity you
represent if you sign as a representative of another) to the terms of
this account and the schedule of charges. You authorize us to deduct
these charges directly from the account balance as accrued. You will pay
any additional reasonable charges for services you request which are not
covered by this agreement.
Each of you also agrees to be jointly and severally (individually)
liable for any account shortage resulting from charges or overdrafts,
whether caused by you or another with access to this account. This
liability is due immediately, and can be deducted directly from the
account balance whenever sufficient funds are available. You have no
right to defer payment of this liability, and you are liable regardless
of whether you signed the item or benefited from the charge or
overdraft. This includes liability for our costs to collect the deficit
including, to the extent permitted by law, our reasonable attorneys'
fees.
DEPOSITS - We will give only provisional credit until collection
is final for any items, other than cash, we accept for deposit
(including items drawn "on us"). Actual credit for deposits of, or
payable in, foreign currency will be at the exchange rate in effect on
final collection in U.S. dollars. We are not responsible for
transactions by mail or outside depository until we actually record
them. We will treat and record all transactions received after our
"daily cutoff time" on a business day we are open, or received on a day
we are not open for business, as if initiated on the next following
business day that we are open.
WITHDRAWALS - Unless clearly indicated otherwise on the account
records, any of you, acting alone, who signs in the space designated for
signatures on the signature card may withdraw or transfer all or any
part of the account balance at any time. Each of you (until we receive
written notice t o the contrary) authorizes each other person signing
the signature card to indorse any item payable to you or your order for
deposit to this account or any other transaction with us. We may charge
your account for a check even though payment was made before the date of
the check, unless we have received written notice of the postdating in
time to have a reasonable opportunity to act. We may refuse any
withdrawal or transfer request which you attempt on forms not approved
by us, by any method we do not specifically permit, which is greater in
number than the frequency permitted, or which is for an amount greater
or less than any withdrawal limitations. Even if we honor a
nonconforming request, we may treat continued abuse of the stated
limitations (if any) as your act of closing the account. We will use the
date the transaction is completed by us (as opposed to the date you
initiate it) to apply the frequency limitations. The fact that we may
honor withdrawal requests that overdraw the available account balance
does not obligate us to do so later. See the funds availability policy
disclosure for information about when you can withdraw funds you
deposit. For those accounts for which our funds availability policy
disclosure does not apply, you can ask us when you make a deposit when
those funds will be available for withdrawal.
We may require not less than 7 days' notice in writing before each
withdrawal from an interest-bearing account other than a time deposit,
or from any other savings account as defined by Regulation D.
Withdrawals from a time account prior to maturity or prior to any notice
period may be restricted and may be subject to penalty. See your notice
of penalty for early withdrawal.
OWNERSHIP OF ACCOUNT AND BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION - These rules
apply to this account depending on the form of ownership and beneficiary
designation, if any, specified on the account records. We make no
representations as to the appropriateness or effect of the ownership and
beneficiary designations, except as they determine to whom we pay the
account funds.
Individual Account - is an account in the name of one person.
Joint Account - With Survivorship (And Not As Tenants In Common) - is an
account in the name of two or more persons. Each of you intend that when
you die the balance in the account (subject to any previous pledge to
which we have agreed) will belong to the survivor(s). If two or more of
you survive, you will own the balance in the account as joint tenants
with survivorship and not as tenants in common.
Joint Account - No Survivorship (As Tenants In Common) - is owned by two
or more persons, but none of you intend (merely by opening this account)
to create any right of survivorship in any other person. We encourage
you to agree and tell us in writing of the percentage of the deposit
contributed by each of you. This information will not, however, affect
the "number of signatures" necessary for withdrawal.
Revocable Trust or Pay-On-Death Account - If two or more of you create
this type of account, you own the account jointly with survivorship.
Beneficiaries cannot withdraw unless: (1) all persons creating the
account die, and (2) the beneficiary is then living. If two or more
beneficiaries are named and survive the death of all persons creating
the account, beneficiaries will own this account in equal shares,
without right of survivorship. The person(s) creating either of these
account types may: (1) change beneficiaries, (2) change account types,
and (3) withdraw all or part of the account funds at any time.
BUSINESS ACCOUNTS - Earnings in the form of interest, dividends, or
credits will be paid only on collected funds, unless otherwise provided
by law or our policy. We may require the governing body of the legal
entity opening the account to give us a separate authorization telling
us who is authorized to act on its behalf. We will honor the
authorization until we actually receive written notice of a change from
the governing body of the legal entity.
STOP PAYMENTS - You must make any stop-payment order in the manner
required by law and we must receive it in time to give us a reasonable
opportunity to act on it before our stop-payment cutoff time. To be
effective, your stop-payment order must precisely identify the number,
date and amount of the item, and the payee.
You may stop payment on any item drawn on your account whether you sign
the item or not, if you have an equal or greater right to withdraw from
this account than the person who signed the item. A release of the
stop-payment request may be made only by the person who initiated the
stop-payment order.
Our stop-payment cutoff time is one hour after the opening of the next
banking day after the banking day on which we receive the item.
Additional limitations on our obligation to stop payment are provided by
law (e.g., we paid the item in cash or we certified the item).
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS - A telephone transfer of funds from this account to
another account with us, if otherwise arranged for or permitted, may be
made by the same persons and under the same conditions generally
applicable to withdrawals made in writing. Unless a different limitation
is disclosed in writing, we restrict the number of transfers from a
savings account to another account or to third parties, to a maximum of
six per month (less the number of "preauthorized transfers" during the
month). Other account transfer restrictions may be described elsewhere.
AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION - We may change any term of this agreement.
Rules governing changes in interest rates are provided separately. For
other changes, we will give you reasonable notice in writing or by any
other method permitted by law. We may also close this account at any
time upon reasonable notice to you and tender of the account balance
personally or by mail. Notice fro m us to any one of you is notice to
all of you.
STATEMENTS - You must examine your statement of account with "reasonable
promptness." If you discover (or reasonably should have discovered) any
unauthorized signatures, alterations, incorrect payment amounts, or
missing or incorrectly credited deposits, you must promptly notify us of
the relevant facts. As between you and us, if you fail to do either of
these duties, you will have to bear the loss yourself unless you prove
that we did not pay the item in good faith. The loss could be not only
with respect to items on the statement but other items with unauthorized
signatures or alterations by the same wrongdoer.
You agree that the time you have to examine your statement and report to
us will depend on the circumstances, but will not, in any circumstance,
exceed a total of 30 days from when the statement is first sent or made
available to you.
You further agree that if you fail to report any unauthorized
signatures, alterations, forgeries, incorrect payment amounts, missing
or incorrectly credited deposits, or any other errors in your account
within 60 days of when we first send or make the statement available,
you cannot assert a claim against us on any items in that statement, and
as between you and us the loss will be entirely yours. This 60-day
limitation is without regard to whether we used good faith. The
limitation in this paragraph is in addition to that contained in the
first paragraph of this section.
ACCOUNT TRANSFER - This account may not be transferred or assigned
without our prior written consent.
DIRECT DEPOSITS - If, in connection with a direct deposit plan, we
deposit any amount in an account which should have been returned to the
Federal Government for any reason, you authorize us to deduct the amount
of our liability to the Federal Government from the account or from any
other account you have with us, without prior notice and at any time,
except as prohibited by law. We may also use any other legal remedy to
recover the amount of our liability.
TEMPORARY ACCOUNT AGREEMENT - If this option is selected, this is a
temporary account agreement. Each person who signs in the space
designated for signatures on the signature card (except as indicated to
the contrary) may transact business on this account. However, we may at
some time in the future restrict or prohibit further use of this account
if you fail to comply with the requirements we have imposed within a
reasonable time.
SETOFF - We may (without prior notice and when permitted by law) set off
the funds in this account against any due and payable debt you owe us
now or in the future, by any of you having the right of withdrawal, to
the extent of such persons' or legal entity's right to withdraw. If the
debt arises from a note, "any due and payable debt" includes the total
amount of which we are entitled to demand payment under the terms of the
note at the time we set off, including any balance the due date for
which we properly accelerate under the note.
This right of setoff does not apply to this account if: (a) it is an IRA
or other tax-deferred retirement account, or (b) the debt is created by
a consumer credit transaction under a credit card plan (but this does
not affect our rights under any consensual security interest), or (c)
the debtor's right of withdrawal only arises in a representative
capacity. We will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the
dishonor occurs because we set off a debt against this account. You
agree to hold us harmless from any claim arising as a result of our
exercise of our right of setoff.
ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZED SIGNATORY (Individual Accounts only) - A single
individual is the owner. The additional authorized signatory is merely
designated to conduct transactions on the owner's behalf. We undertake
no obligation to monitor transactions to determine that they are on the
owner's behalf.
RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS - We are not required to honor any restrictive
legend on checks you write unless we have agreed in writing to the
restriction. Examples of restrictive legends are "must be presented
within 90 days" or "not valid for more than $1,000.00."
PAYMENT ORDER OF ITEMS - The law permits us to pay items (such as checks
or drafts) drawn on your account in any order. To assist you in handling
your account with us, we are providing you with the following
information regarding how we process the items that you write. When
processing items drawn on your account, our policy is to pay them
according to the dollar amount. We pay the smallest items first. The
order in which items are paid is important if there is not enough money
in your account to pay all of the items that are presented. Our payment
policy minimizes the number of items that may result in an overdraft or
NSF fee. If an item is presented without sufficient funds in your
account to pay it, w e may, at our discretion, pay the item (creating an
overdraft) or return the item (NSF). The amounts of the overdraft and
NSF fees are disclosed elsewhere. We encourage you to make careful
records and practice good account management. This will help you to
avoid writing checks or d rafts without sufficient funds and incurring
the resulting fees.
ACH AND WIRE TRANSFERS - This agreement is subject to Article 4A of the
Uniform Commercial Code - Fund Transfers as adopted in the state in
which you have your account with us. If you originate a fund transfer
for which Fedwire is used, and you identify by name and number a
beneficiary financial institution, an intermediary financial institution
or a beneficiary, we and every receiving or beneficiary financial
institution may rely on the identifying number to make payment. We may
rely on the number even if it identifies a financial institution, person
or account other than the one named. You agree to be bound by automated
clearing house association rules. These rules provide, among other
things, that payments made to you, or originated by you, are provisional
until final settlement is made through a Federal Reserve Bank or payment
is otherwise made as provided in Article 4A-403(a) of the Uniform
Commercial Code. If we do not receive such, we are entitled to a refund
from you in the amount credited to your account and the party
originating such payment will not be considered to have paid the amount
so credited. If we receive a credit to an account you have with us by
wire or ACH, we are not required to give you any notice of the payment
order or credit.
ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS
YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Indicated below are types of Electronic Fund Transfers we are capable of
handling, some of which may not apply to your account. Please read this
disclosure carefully because it tells you yo ur righ ts and obligations
for the transactions listed. You should keep this notice for future
reference.
Electronic Funds Transfers Initiated By Third Parties. You may authorize
a third party to initiate electronic funds transfers between your
account and the third party's account. These transfers to make or
receive payment may be one-time occurrences or may recur as directed by
you. These transfers may use the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) or other
payments network. Your authorization to the third party to make these
transfers can occur in a number of ways. In some cases, your
authorization can occur when the merchant posts a sign informing you of
their policy. In all cases, the transaction will require you to provide
the third party with your account number and bank information. This
information can be found on your check as well as on a deposit or
withdrawal slip. Thus, you should only provide your bank and account
information (whether over the phone, the Internet, or via some other
method) to trusted third parties whom you have authorized to initiate
these electronic funds transfers. Examples of these transfers include,
but are not limited to:
Preauthorized credits. You may make arrangements for certain direct
deposits to be accepted into your checking or savings account(s).
Preauthorized payments. You may make arrangements to pay certain
recurring bills from your checking or savings account(s).
Electronic check conversion. You may provide your check to a merchant
or service provider who will scan the check for the encoded bank and
account information. The merchant or service provider will then use this
information to convert the transaction into an electronic funds
transfer. This may occur at the point of purchase, or when you provide
your check by other means such as by mail or drop box.
Electronic returned check charge. Some merchants or service providers
will initiate an electronic funds transfer to collect a charge in the
event a check is returned for insufficient funds.

Currency Conversion. If you effect a transaction with your SHAZAMŪ Chek
Card in a currency other than US Dollars, MasterCard International
Incorporated will convert the charge into a US dollar amount. MasterCard
International will use its currency conversion procedure, which is
disclosed to institutions that issue MasterCard cards. Currently, the
conversion rate used by MasterCard International to determine the
transaction amount in US dollars for such transactions is generally
either a government mandated rate or a wholesale rate determined by
MasterCard International for the processing cycle in which the
transaction is processed, increased by an adjustment factor established
from time to time by MasterCard International. The currency conversion
rate used by MasterCard International on the processing date may differ
from the rate that would have been used on the purchase date or
cardholder statement posting date.
Advisory Against Illegal Use. You agree not to use your card(s) for
illegal gambling or other illegal purpose. Display of a payment card

Notice of varying amounts. If these regular payments may vary in
amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before

you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION'S LIABILITY
Liability for failure to make transfers. If we do not complete a
transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount
according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses
or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable,
for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your
account to make the transfer.
- If you have an overdraft line and the transfer would go over the
credit limit.
- If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer
does not have enough cash.
- If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about
the breakdown when you started t he transfer.

the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.

We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the
transfers you make:
- where it is necessary for completing transfers; or
- in order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a

- in order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
- as explained in the Privacy Disclosure contained elsewhere in this
document.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
(a) Consumer liability.
* Generally. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and/or code has
been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your
possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your ac count (
plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within 2
business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your card
and/or code without your permission. (If you believe your card and/or
code has been lost or stolen, and you tell us within 2 business days
after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if
someone used your card and/or code without your permission.)
If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss
or theft of your card and/or code, and we can prove we could have
stopped someone from using your card and/or code without your permission
if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us
at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was
mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days
if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money
if you had told us in time.
If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from
telling us, we will extend the time periods.
* Additional Limits on Liability for SHAZAMŪ Chek Card, when used for
point-of-sale transactions. You will not be liable for any unauthorized
transactions using your SHAZAMŪ Chek Card, when used for point-of-sale
transactions, if: (i) you can demonstrate that you have exercised
reasonable care in safeguarding your card from the risk of loss or
theft, (ii) you have not reported to us two or more incidents of
unauthorized use within the prior twelve-month period, and (iii) your
account is in good standing. If any of these conditions are not met,
your liability is the lesser of $50 or the amount of money, property,
labor, or services obtained by the unauthorized use before notification
to us. "Unauthorized use" means the use of your debit card by a person,
other than you, who does not have actual, implied, or apparent authority
for suc h use, and from which you receive no benefit. This additional
limitation on liability does not apply to PIN-based transactions or
transactions not processed by MasterCard.
(b) Contact in event of unauthorized transfer. If you believe your card
and/or code has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or
may transfer money from your account without your permission, call or
write us at the telephone number or address listed in this brochure.
ERROR RESOLUTION NOTICE
In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers, Call or
Write us at the telephone number or address listed in this brochure, as
soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if
you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or
receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the
FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
- Tell us your name and account number (if any).
- Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain
as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need
more information.
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or
question in writing within 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20
business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from
you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however,
we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new
account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer)
to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we
will credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days if
the transfer involved a new account) for the amount you think is in
error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it
takes us to complete our inv estigat ion. If we ask you to put your
complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10
business days, we may not credit your account. Your account is
considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit
is made, unless each of you already has an established account with us
before this account is opened.
We will tell you the results within three business days after completing
our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send
you a written explanation.
You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our
investigation.

--------------------------
YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS
This policy statement applies to "transaction" accounts. Transaction
accounts, in general, are accounts which permit an unlimited number of
payments to third persons and an unlimited number of telephone and
preauthorized transfers to other accounts of yours with us. Checking
accounts are the most common transaction accounts. Feel free to ask us
whether any of your other accounts might also be under this policy.
Our policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available
to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit.
Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the
deposit. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw them in cash and
we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written.
Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and
you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you
deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems
involving your de posit.
For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a
business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you
make a deposit before
2:00 P.M. at the Saltillo Branch (cutoff times may be later on some days
or at some locations) on a business day that we are open, we will
consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a

LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY
Case-by-case delays. In some cases, we will not make all of the funds
that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day
after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you
deposit, funds may not be available until the fifth business day after
the day of your deposit. The first $100 of your deposits, however, may
be available on the first business day.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available
on the first business day, we will notify you at the time you make your
deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your
deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to
take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the
notice by the day after we receive your deposit.
If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us
when the funds will be available.
Safeguard exceptions. In addition, funds you deposit by check may be
delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day.
You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or communications
equipment.
We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of
these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available.
They will generally be available no later than the eleventh business day
after the day of your deposit.
SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS
If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply during
the first 30 days your account is open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available
on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire
transfers, and the first $5,000 of a day's total deposits of cashier's,
certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state and local government
checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your
deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks
must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip).
The excess over $5,000 will be available on the ninth business day after
the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a
U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the
first $5,000 will not be available until the second business day after
the day of your deposit.
Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the tenth
business day after the day of your deposit.
