Customer understands that the terms, conditions, instructions and procedures set forth below are in addition to those that apply to any other accounts that customer currently has with the Bank or any other services customer obtains hereafter from the Bank. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, ServisFirst Bank and customer hereby agree as follows: 1. SERVISFIRST BANK ONLINE BANKING:Using your customer password & PIN, you can perform banking transactions on your computer, including: (1) obtaining balance inquiries; (2) obtaining information about your account transactions and (3) making transfers between ServisFirst Bank checking and savings accounts to other ServisFirst Bank savings, checking or loan accounts (subject to government regulations). You must maintain sufficient funds in your account to cover any requests for transfers. All transfer requests are subject to verification and authentication. If the Bank completes a payment or transfer authorized by the customer and the Bank determines that the account from which the funds are to be transferred has an insufficient balance to complete that transfer, customer agrees that the Bank is authorized to reverse the transaction or to offset the shortage of funds from any other account customer has with the Bank. In any case, the customer is fully obligated to the Bank to provide sufficient funds for any payment or transfer that the customer makes or authorizes. 2. WHEN INTERNET PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS ARE MADE:Payments and transfers are not final at the time the Bank receives customer's instructions; however, the Bank will begin to process requests promptly at 7:30 p.m. CST. Transfer requests received after 7:30 p.m. CST on any business day will be posted the following business day. Each payment or transfer will be posted to the appropriate accounts involved in the transfer on the date transmitted if the request is made within processing hours, or on the next business day if made after processing hours. Payment or transfer requests initiated by the customer on a non-business day will be considered to have been initiated on the following business day. Customers should be aware that reporting limitations exist when a transaction is performed via Online Banking, i.e., balance and/or payment inquiries made through Online Banking will not reflect transactions that have not yet been posted to the customer's accounts. Although Online Banking is generally available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the Bank processes transactions and updates information only on business days. The Bank's business days are defined as Monday through Friday. Holidays are not included in the definition of business days. 3. LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE PAYMENTS OR TRANSFERS:If the bank does not complete a payment or transfer on time or in the correct amount as per the customer's request, the Bank will be liable only for the amount of that payment or transfer and the Bank will not be liable for consequential or punitive damages or any other losses whatsoever that may be incurred by the Customer. If, and only if, the Bank willfully or intentionally neglects to complete a payment or transfer as requested by the Customer, the Bank will reverse any fees or charges assessed by the Bank against the Customer's account(s). 4. ONLINE COMPUTER SECURITY:To access Online Banking, the customer will be issued a temporary Password selected by the Bank. To access any funds transfer, the customer will initially use a temporary PIN selected by the Bank. The customer must reset the Password/PIN with their first online connection. TAKE PRECAUTIONS ONLINE TO PROTECT YOUR PASSWORD/PIN. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMPUTER UNATTENDED WHILE ONLINE OR SEND YOUR PASSWORD/PIN OR ANY OTHER CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OVER ANY PUBLIC OR GENERAL E-MAIL SYSTEM.
