Our right to charge your Account will apply without regard to whether the Item is timely returned to us or whether there is any other claim or defense that the Item has been improperly returned to us.

Cutoff Hour. If we receive a scanned Original Check on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on a business day we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of deposit. If we receive a scanned Item after 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time or on non-business day, we may consider that the deposit was made on the next business day. At our option, however, we may treat the Original Check as received the same day as the day of receipt. Your account will be provisionally credited upon our acceptance of Imaged Items for deposit which are received by us from you through the Mobile Deposit Service.

Processing. For all Imaged Items processed pursuant to this Addendum, either: (i) digitized images will be converted to Substitute Checks and presented for payment to established Endpoints, or (ii) Imaged Exchange Items will be presented for payment through image exchange networks. We may in our sole discretion determine the manner of processing.

We will process any returned Items in accordance with applicable law and the Deposit Account Agreements. Availability of credit from Items processed under this Addendum will be subject to our then current availability schedule, which may be amended by us from time to time. We may at our sole option, with or without cause, at any time and from time to time, refuse to process any Imaged Items. We may from time to time establish and amend exposure limitations and assign them to you.

Notwithstanding any provisional credit that may be applied to an Account in connection with your transmitted Imaged Items, Imaged Items processed for deposit through the Mobile Deposit Service will be deemed to have been received by us for deposit at the time the Imaged Items are actually received and accepted at the location where we or our designated agent posts the credit to the Account. A deposit of Imaged Items will be deemed to have been received and accepted by us for deposit when all of the following have occurred: (i) we have preliminarily verified that the image quality of the Imaged Item is acceptable to us in our discretion, all Item information is complete and the deposit totals are balanced to the Item information provided for the deposit; and (ii) we have successfully performed all further validation routines with respect to the deposit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Imaged Items received by us for deposit may be rejected by us in our sole discretion.

You agree to view the images of each scanned Item that is sent to us. If Item information received by is not complete or cannot be processed by us for any reason, we may reject the Imaged Item, notwithstanding any transmission confirmation and charge the amount back against any provisional credit to your Account. You will be responsible for verifying our receipt of your transmissions by verifying that deposits have been posted to your Account.

If an Imaged Item is not accepted for deposit, you may then submit the Original Check to us for processing or contact the maker to reissue the Check. If you submit the Original Check for processing, we reserve the right to refuse to process the Check for deposit and presentment to the Payor Financial Institution and may instead require you to have the maker reissue the Check.

Compliance with Law. You shall comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to you, to your business and operations, and to the Mobile Deposit Services, including, without limitation, Regulation CC, the Uniform Commercial Code and any rules established by an image exchange network through which Image Exchange Items are processed pursuant to this Addendum. You shall have the responsibility to fulfill any compliance requirement or obligation that Bank and/or you may have with respect to the Mobile Deposit Service under all applicable U.S. federal and state laws, regulations, rulings, including sanction laws administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and other requirements relating to anti-money laundering, including but not limited to, the federal Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and any regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department to implement such Acts, as amended from time to time.

Reserves; Security Interest; Held Funds. You acknowledge that we may from time to time establish minimum amounts to be funded by you as reserve amounts. We will provide notice to you of any reserve requirement, and you shall immediately fund the reserve amount with good funds. We may withhold and use any amounts due to you to maintain any reserve amounts at levels specified by us. To secure all of your obligations us arising from this Addendum, you grant to us a security interest in all of your accounts with us, all funds in those Accounts, any reserve accounts or funds therein, all Items, whether now or hereafter established by or for your benefit, and all proceeds of the foregoing. Our security interest will survive after termination of this Addendum. This security interest is supplemental to and not in lieu of the security interest granted by you to us under any other agreement. In addition to any other rights we may have with regards the Accounts of yours, we may hold and use funds in any Account following termination of this Addendum for such time as we reasonably determine that any Item processed by us prior to termination may be returned, charged back or otherwise a cause for any loss, liability, cost, exposure or other action for which we may be responsible. Without limitation, you recognize that under the UCC, Regulation CC and the rules of any image exchange network our representations and warranties with regards to Image Exchange Items and Substitute Checks may expose us to claims for several years following processing of the Image Exchange Item or Substitute Check.

Availability. We may cause the Mobile Deposit Service to be temporarily unavailable to you, either with or without prior notice, for site maintenance, security or other reasons, and you acknowledge that factors beyond our reasonable control, such as telecommunications failure or equipment failure, may also cause the Mobile Deposit Service to be unavailable to you. You may deposit Original Checks and other items to any deposit account with us in person or in any other manner permitted by agreement between you and us, and you will be responsible for maintaining procedures and facilities to enable you to do so if the Mobile Deposit Service is unavailable to you.

Your Indemnification Obligation. You will indemnify and hold us harmless, including our licensors and providers of the Mobile Deposit Services, and our respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents, against any and all third party suits, proceedings, claims, demands, causes of action, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses), liabilities and other losses that result from or arise out of: (i) your wrongful acts or omissions, or any person acting on your behalf, in connection with your use of the Mobile Deposit Service or processing of Items under this Addendum, including without limitation (a) the breach by you of any provision, representation or warranty of this Addendum, (b) your negligence or willful misconduct (whether by act or omission) or any third party on acting on your behalf, (c) any misuse of the Mobile Deposit Service by you, or any third party within your control or on behalf of you, (d) your failure to comply with applicable state and federal laws and regulations, or (e) any fine, penalty or sanction imposed on us by, any clearing house, or any governmental entity, arising out of or connected with any Imaged Item processed by us for you or at your instruction; (ii) any act or omission of ours that is in accordance with this Addendum or instructions from you; (iii) actions by third parties, such as the introduction of a virus that delay, alter or corrupt the transmission of an Imaged Item to us; (iv) any loss or corruption of data in transit from you to us; (v) any claim by any recipient of a Substitute Check corresponding to a Check processed by you under this Addendum, that such recipient incurred loss due to the receipt of the Substitute Check instead of the Original Check; or (vi) any claims, loss or damage resulting from your breach of, or failure to perform in accordance with, the terms of this Addendum.

Our Liability. In addition to applicable limitation on liability protections provided in the Agreement, the following will apply with respect to the Mobile Banking Service. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or regulation, we will not be liable to you for any of the following: (i) any refusal of a Payor Financial Institution to pay an Image Exchange Item or Substitute Check for any reason (other than our breach of contract, gross negligence or willful misconduct), including without limitation, that the Original Check, Image Exchange Item or Substitute Check was allegedly unauthorized, was a counterfeit, had been altered, or had a forged signature; (ii) you or any other party's lack of access to the Internet or inability to transmit or receive data; or (iii) failures or errors on the part of Internet service providers, telecommunications providers or any other party's own internal systems.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, and subject to our limitations on liability provided otherwise in this Addendum, we will only be liable for damages that are solely and proximately caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct. Our liability for errors or omissions with respect to the data transmitted or printed by us in connection with this Addendum will be limited to correcting the errors or omissions. Correction will be limited to reprocessing, reprinting and/or representing the Image Exchange Items or Substitute Checks to the Payor Financial Institution.
