(c) In the event Bank, in its sole discretion, hereafter allows the Administrator’s designation of other authorized users for the Services (each an “Authorized User”): (i) T  he Administrator warrants and represents on any date any Service is performed at the request of such Authorized User that: (1) the Administrator is duly authorized to designate officers, employees or agents of Customer to act in the name of and on behalf of Customer with regard to the Services; and (2) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Authorized User designated by the Administrator is duly authorized to give Bank direction regarding the withdrawal, disbursement, or other transfer of funds by wire or other electronic means; and

(ii) B  ank may rely on the authorization with respect to any Authorized User until the Wire Communications Department of Bank has received notice from the KBO Customer Service call center deleting such person as an Authorized User, and Bank has had a reasonable opportunity to act upon any such change in Authorized Users.

4. Wire Transfer Security Procedures (a) C  ustomer agrees that it shall be solely responsible to assure that such Security Procedures are followed, as amended from time to time. If such Procedures are violated, Customer agrees to promptly notify Bank of any such breach. Customer acknowledges that Security Procedures are used to verify the authenticity of transactions but not to detect errors in any transaction Customer The Security Procedures do not verify the actual identity of the users of the Services and do not monitor the actions of users to determine whether they have exceeded their authority. Customer acknowledges that it has reviewed all applicable Security Procedures, has selected its preferred Security Procedure where applicable, has determined that such Security Procedures are commercially reasonable and Customer hereby waives any objection that they are not. (b) Customer shall be responsible and liable for any unauthorized use or disclosure of any Security Procedures and all Security Procedure materials entrusted to it. Bank shall not be liable for any and all claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees’ and court costs) and the costs of settlement of claims, (“Losses”), which may arise from the unauthorized use of the Security Procedure or unauthorized use of the Service. Bank may deliver or disclose Security Procedure materials to any person designated by Customer as an Authorized User. Customer warrants that each Wire Transfer initiated or facilitated by the use of the Security Procedure is fully authorized by Customer and by any other party whose authorization is required. These Security Procedures are in addition to and not in limitation to the Security provisions provided for under Section 4 of the KBO Services Agreement. (c) Bank will assign a unique Authorization Code for use by Customer’s Administrator, or each Authorized User (if any) in connection with each Wire Transfer. The Administrator and each Authorized User shall maintain the Authorization Code in strictest confidence and take security measures sufficient to assure that the Authorization Code is not used to facilitate unauthorized transactions. The term “Authorization Code” means a secure, time sensitive authorization code provided by Bank for each Wire Transfer and established pursuant to Bank’s Security Procedures. (d) C  ustomer warrants that each Wire Transfer initiated or facilitated by the use of the Authorization Code is fully authorized by Customer and by the Administrator. Bank shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or liability which may arise from the unauthorized use of the Authorization Code. (e) S  ecurity Procedures for the detection of Customer errors or unauthorized Wire Transfers are not provided by Bank and in no event shall Bank be liable for such errors or unauthorized Wire Transfers. 5. Inconsistencies Between Names and Numbers If an identifying or bank account number provided in a Wire Transfer issued in the name of Customer identifies a person different from the beneficiary named in the Wire Transfer, or if the words and numbers set forth in a Wire Transfer are otherwise inconsistent, Customer understands that execution might be made by Bank, another beneficiary’s bank, or any other person on the basis of identifying number, bank account number, or other number rather than on the basis of the name or words. If a Wire Transfer identifies an intermediary bank or the beneficiary’s bank both by name and an identifying number and the name and number identify different persons, Customer understands that Bank, another receiving bank, or any other person might rely on the number as the proper identification of the intermediary or beneficiary’s bank even if it identifies a person different from Bank identified by name. Bank may, in its discretion and without liability, choose to rely either upon a name or other words, or upon an identifying, related, accompanying, or bank account number in a Wire Transfer. Bank shall not, for any purpose, be deemed to know that an account identifying or other number in a Wire Transfer does not identify or match the person or words intended to be identified or otherwise set forth therein unless the officer or employee of Bank, who receives or accepts the Wire Transfer has actual knowledge and awareness of the contents of the Wire Transfer and the fact that a discrepancy exists. 6. E  xecution, Rejection and Payment of Requests Bank shall have the right to reject or impose conditions that must be satisfied before it will accept a Request for any reason, including without limitation Customer’s violation of any term of this Service Description or the Agreement, Customer’s failure to maintain a sufficient withdrawable account balance, or the belief by Bank that the Request may have not in fact been authorized. The Request may also be rejected by an intermediary or beneficiary’s bank other than Bank, or by operation of law. If a Request is rejected, Bank shall endeavor to notify Customer by telephone, electronic transmission, in writing or by other means chosen by Bank. The notice shall be effective when given. Bank shall, however, have no liability to Customer by reason of such rejection by another person in the funds transfer chain, or the fact that such notice was not given or was not given at an earlier time. Bank shall have no liability to Customer for failing to notify Customer within any specified period of time of receipt, acceptance, execution, or payment of any Wire Transfer.

7.  E  xecution Date Customer shall not submit online a Wire Transfer instructing execution or payment on a Banking Day later than the day the order is received by Bank unless Bank agrees to accept such Wire Transfer request. “Banking Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which Bank is authorized or required to close according to Applicable Law. 8.  C  ut-Off Hours Format requirements and cut-off hours may be established and changed by Bank from time to time. Wire Transfer requests received after such cut-off hours may be treated by Bank for all purposes as having been received on the following Banking Day. 9. P  rovisionality of Credits While an Account of Customer may be credited in the amount of an incoming Wire Transfer, such crediting shall be subject to receipt of final settlement by Bank and any cancellation effected or agreed to by Bank. 10.C  ancellation and Amendment Customer shall have no right to amend or cancel any Wire Transfer after submitting the Wire Transfer request online to Bank. Bank may, however, on its own initiative and without obligation, act upon a Wire Transfer to amend or cancel, but shall have no liability if such cancellation or amendment is not effected. Any such Wire Transfer to cancel or amend must be received by the Wire Communications Department of Bank or Agent, if designated, on or before Banking Day on which the Wire Transfer is to be executed. If Bank agrees to a Wire Transfer from the sender or originator to cancel a Wire Transfer which has been credited to a Customer’s Account, Bank may deduct or set off the amount of the order from or against any Customer account or otherwise obtain a refund from Customer. 11. O  verdrafts; Set-off Customer must have available funds in the Account to cover each Wire Transfer. Bank may, however, in its discretion, execute the Wire Transfer even if such execution should result in the creation of an overdraft in a Customer’s Account. Customer shall be liable to Bank for any such overdraft. If insufficient Customer funds are available to cover a transfer, including charges, Bank may, in its discretion, send the amount of funds available or send the payment net of charges, or not execute the transfer. Bank can use the funds or balances from any account Customer has with Bank to pay or satisfy the obligation or may set off against any amount Bank may owe Customer in order to obtain payment of such obligation. Except as may be restricted by Applicable Law, this right may be exercised at any time and without prior notice, regardless of whether it creates an overdraft or results in subsequent dishonor or checks or request to transfer funds. 12. R  eport of Discrepancies in Wire Transfers Report any error or discrepancy in a Wire Transfer as soon as possible. Within fourteen (14) days after the date Customer receives notification from Bank, whether by advice, confirmation, statement or otherwise, or Bank makes such notification available to Customer, whether by computer link or otherwise, that a Wire Transfer request in the name of Customer was accepted by Bank or Customer’s Account was debited or credited with respect to a Wire Transfer, or within fourteen (14) days of any earlier date upon which Customer has notice from another source of execution, payment, non-execution, or non-payment by Bank or any other party of any Wire Transfer issued in the name of or paid to the Account of Customer, Customer must notify KBO Customer Service call center of the relevant facts regarding any unauthorized or erroneous Wire Transfer, any discrepancy reflected in such notification or notice, and any right of a refund. Failure of Customer to so notify shall relieve Bank of any liability it would otherwise have in regard to such Wire Transfer. Bank shall have no obligation to notify Customer of the receipt, execution, or payment of any request within any specified period of time. If Customer chooses not to receive advices, statements or other notifications of debits or credits to Customer’s Account, or instructs Bank to hold such notifications for Customer, the fourteen-day period set forth herein shall be deemed to begin to run, respectively, on the date of the debit or credit or on the date the notification is prepared by Bank. 13. R  ecording Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, tape or otherwise record telephone conversations between Bank and Customer, or its Administrator or Authorized User. 14. T  hird Party Transfers Customer covenants and agrees that Customer shall only use the Services to initiate funds transfers on its own behalf and in Customer’s own name. Customer will not use the Services to initiate funds transfers on behalf of Customer’s customers or other third parties. 15. N  otices All written notices or communications of any type related to the Schedule Instructions, the Services, this Agreement, or to any Wire Transfer here under, if not sent online via the Website, shall be directed: (a) if sent by the Customer, to the address for notices to the KBO Customer Service Center and (b) if sent by Bank, to the address of Customer set forth in the Bank’s current business address for the Customer, as the same may be amended to reflect a different address. Any notice which Bank is required by this Agreement to provide to any Customer Affiliate shall be legally sufficient if provided to Customer. Each such notice shall be deemed to constitute notice to all parties to this Agreement and shall satisfy the notice requirement set forth herein and in the KBO Services Agreement. 16. A  udit Rights Customer agrees that Bank has the right, at its discretion, to audit at any time Customer’s Wire Transfer related processes, controls and activities hereunder, Customer’s operations and data security policies and procedures, and its financial condition. Customer shall cooperate, and shall cause its personnel to cooperate, fully with Bank as Bank may reasonably request in connection with any audit right under this Agreement. 17. Internet Security (a) T  he Services or functionality of the Services will be provided through the Internet. The term “Internet” means the global, publicly accessible, network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data using the standard internet protocol. Customer agrees to establish and maintain appropriate security software, security procedures and security training for Internet use and safeguarding Confidential Information, including, without limitation, a proxy server and/or firewalls to control and protect Internet access, and prevent unauthorized use of Access Codes and unauthorized Wire Transfers. (b) In no event will Bank have any liability in connection with and shall not be responsible for, and Customer hereby assumes all responsibility and liability for: (i) inability to connect to or use any Service via the Internet or inability to communicate with Bank via the Internet or any Website resulting from a problem with an Internet service provider or online service provider of failure of Customer’s computer hardware, software, systems or otherwise, (ii) unknown hazards of Internet use, unauthorized intrusions to Customer’s data files, or unauthorized use of any Authorization Code, including, but not limited to interception of any information relating to Customer or its Wire Transfers, unauthorized intrusion to use of data relating to Customer’s named payees or beneficiaries, any application errors in or security breaches of any Internet browser, or (iii) any data that is lost or destroyed in connection with the use of the Internet.

(c) C  ustomer represents, warrants and covenants that it uses commercially reasonable fraudulent transaction detection systems to (i) establish the identity of users who provide payment instructions in person, via the internet or by telephone and (ii) verify the validity of routing-and-transit numbers contained within payment instructions. Additionally, Customer warrants that it uses a secure Internet session and commercially reasonable security technology. 18. Customer’s Information Security (a) C  ustomer will maintain a Security Policy document that will be made available to Bank upon Bank’s request. Customer will advise Bank of changes to security policy and make available to Bank these revisions upon request. Customer will create its firewall rules based on the principle of least access needed. This means that the firewall(s) will only pass the traffic necessary for the Products to function to the backend servers, and any unnecessary traffic will be blocked. Customer will segregate the Internet environment used to provide service to its clients from the Internet environment used by internal Customer personnel. (b) A  uthorization of Authorized Users will follow industry standard best practices, adhering to the concepts of least privilege access, business need to know and individual accountability, while utilizing and maintaining a strong authentication mechanism. (c) C  ustomer will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain at all times a current industry standard intrusion detection monitoring system that protects its infrastructure against system risk from outside users and vendors. Customer will actively monitor the intrusion monitoring system and develop escalation procedures to notify Bank personnel in the event of a security breach. The escalation procedures will be mutually agreed upon between Customer and Bank. (d) T  o prevent data leakage that can occur when data is migrated intentionally or inadvertently across technologies, Customer must use a standard practice of strong encryption methods on any transportable devices that stores or processes any information. This standard applies regardless of whether Bank’s information is intended to be on the device or not. This standard applies to any transportable devices, such as, but not limited to laptop computer, desktop computer, CD, DVD, or other portable or stationary storage media. For purposes of this Section, “strong encryption” means accepted industry standard solutions that are commercially reasonable and commercially available from industry recognized vendors, with preference given to a current minimum of AES and a minimum key length of 128 bits. Customer shall periodically review the encryption standard that is being used to ensure compliance with this Section. Customer shall not use any PDA, USB Drive, flash memory card, and/or floppy drive for storage or processing of information relating to any Wire Transfer. 19. F  ees Customer shall compensate Bank for Services in accordance with Bank’s current fee schedule in effect and shall be liable for all taxes applicable to the Services (not including taxes based on Bank’s employees or net income). Bank may amend the fee schedule at any time and will give written notice to Customer of changes in fees for Services then used by Customer provided that such change shall not be effective until thirty (30) days after Bank has provided such notice. Bank may debit Customer’s Account for payment of charges then due unless Customer arranges for another payment procedure acceptable to Bank. Customer shall pay Bank’s costs and expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Bank in collecting or attempting to collect amounts or other obligations due Bank under this Agreement. Monthly fees for the Service will be charged to Customer’s primary Account designated for this Service; however, transaction fees for each Wire Transfer will be charged to the Customer’s Account used to settle and fund payment of the applicable Wire Transfer. 20.

Customer shall provide Bank with such additional information concerning the operations of Customer as may be reasonably requested by Bank. Customer also authorizes Bank to obtain credit reports on Customer at any time. In the event the Service(s) selected by Customer result in unacceptable credit exposures to Bank or affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank or its parent under any Applicable Law or regulatory guideline, or request from any central bank or governmental authority; or if Customer fails to provide Bank with any credit, financial or other information Bank may require from time to time, Bank may, in its discretion, immediately cancel the Services contemplated herein, or limit Customer’s Wire Transfer transaction volume and/or dollar amounts. 21.
