Online Banking Service Agreement and Disclosure
Effective November 14, 2009
I. Description of Agreement
A. What it Covers
This Online Banking Service Agreement and Disclosure ("Agreement") governs your ability to view information regarding your accounts with us and to conduct certain transactions on these accounts, including funds transfers and bill payments, using either the City National Bank Online Banking Service or the Direct Connect with Quicken ® Service (each a "Service" and together the "Services"). In this Agreement, the words "we," "us," "our" and "CNB" mean City National Bank and its agents (including any third party service provider), successors or assigns and the words "you" or "your" mean each person who or business which has an interest in an account accessible using a Service and any person authorized for access. The words “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or holiday when we are closed. Accounts eligible for a Service are defined in Section IV. A. 1. below.
B. Accepting the Agreement and Amendments
When you enroll in and use a Service described in this Agreement, or authorize others to use a Service to conduct transactions on your accounts, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and its associated Online Banking Fee Schedule. You acknowledge receipt of this Agreement and the Online Banking Fee Schedule. You agree to the terms and conditions of any amendment to this Agreement if you continue to use a Service after receipt of the amendment.
C. Relation to Other Agreements
This Agreement is in addition to the terms and conditions described in the Account Agreement and Disclosures, the Online Banking Fee Schedule, the Fee Schedule: Personal Products & Services and the Fee Schedule: Business Products & Services; etc., the IRA agreement and any deposit, loan, credit or other agreements you have with us, as well as all applicable laws and regulations. When you access an account through the Services, the agreements you already have with us for that account do not change. For example, when you use the CNB Online Banking Service to access a savings account, you do so under the terms and conditions we gave you in the Account Agreement and Disclosures for the savings account. You should review these agreements and their applicable fee schedules for any applicable fees. You should also review these agreements for limitations on the number of transactions you can conduct on an account and for other restrictions that may impact your use of an account. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement are defined in the Account Agreement and Disclosures.
II. Overview of Services
A. CNB Online Banking - Account Access through cnb.com
Access to your accounts through the CNB Online Banking Service is provided to you by us through the CNB Internet web site, cnb.com, or related CNB web sites. With this Service you may obtain access to eligible deposit, loan, and credit card accounts to review balances and transaction histories, transfer funds between eligible CNB accounts, make bill payments and credit card payments, request stop payments on written checks, reorder checks, set up event-driven alerts, as well as communicate with us electronically via secure messages.
You may also use a Service to access our Bill Pay Service as described below.
B. Direct Connect with Quicken - through your Quicken software
The Service allows you to connect to CNB from within your Quicken software in order to download your account activity and send payment or funds transfer instructions. The CNB Online Banking Service is not required for use of the Service. You may also use the Service to access the Bill Pay Service described in this Agreement.
III. General Terms and Conditions
A. Your Responsibility In Case of an Unauthorized Transaction.
Notify us AT ONCE if you believe any of your accounts have been accessed, your password has been obtained, or electronic transactions have been processed without your permission. Telephoning is the best way to keep possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account plus available credit on your overdraft line (if you have one). However, for your Personal Accounts, if you tell us within two business days, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your password without your permission. If you do not tell us of unauthorized transactions on your Personal Accounts within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password and if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your password without your permission if you had told us in time, you could lose as much as $500.00. [Please note that these guidelines for maximum loss of up to $50 or $500 will not apply to your Business Accounts, which do not have loss limits (See Sec. VI. B)]. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) keeps you from notifying us, we will extend the time period to a reasonable time. If you do not report unauthorized transactions that appear on any of your periodic statements within 60 days after such statements are mailed or electronically transmitted to you, you risk unlimited losses on transactions made after the 60-day period if we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use had we been notified within this 60-day period. You are responsible for verifying that all transactions done on your account were completed with your authorization. We recommend that you promptly reconcile your account(s) with your monthly statement(s) provided to you by us.
B. Our Responsibilities
We are responsible for completing funds transfers and bill payments from your eligible account(s) according to your properly entered and transmitted instructions. However, we are not responsible for confirming such information, monitoring or refusing to process duplicate payment instructions. You are responsible for any damages such as late fees that you may incur as a result of a payment. We will not be liable:
- If, through no fault of our own, you do not have sufficient available funds in your account to make the transfer, credit card payment or bill payment
- If your account has been closed or inactivated
- If a legal order prohibits us from making any withdrawals from your account
- If the transfer, credit card payment or bill payment causes your account balance to exceed any credit arrangement you have with us
- If you, or anyone you allow to use the Services, commit fraud or violate any law or regulation
- If you do not use the Services properly
- If any part of the electronic funds transfer system is not working properly
- If circumstances beyond our control (natural disaster or improper postings by a third party) prevent or delay the funds transfer or bill payment, despite precautions taken by us
- If circumstances beyond our control prevent your access to the Services
- If you have not provided us with correct instructions, including without limitation the name, address, account number, and payment amount for the bill payment
There may be other exceptions to our liability as stated in the Account Agreement and Disclosures or other agreements.

D. Authorization to Charge Account
We may charge any item generated using a Service to any account to which it is directed notwithstanding any signature restrictions or multiple signature requirements under the account agreement. If you need to maintain the signature restrictions or multiple signature requirements you cannot use the Services for that account.

We reserve the right to block access to the Services to maintain or restore security to our site and systems if we reasonably believe your means of identification has been or may be obtained or is being used or may be used by any unauthorized person. Your failure to protect the security of these means of identification or failure to install and regularly update virus protection software shall relieve us from responsibility for any loss to you attributable to the failure, except as may otherwise be required by law.

You will only be presented with the overnight check payment option. Your transaction will be completed in accordance with the delivery date presented when you initiate the payment (“Delivery Date”). You are solely responsible to provide accurate information on the delivery address for the payment and the account number or other information needed by the payment recipient in order to credit your account.
3. On Time Guarantee
In the event that an expedited electronic payment or overnight check payment is not delivered by the Delivery Date because of our fault, we will reimburse you for the Convenience Fee and any late payment fee assessed by the payment recipient and paid by you up to $50.00. This guarantee does not apply if the Delivery Date presented when you initiate the payment is after the due date for the payment. We reserve the right to request documentation of any late payment fee for which you seek reimbursement.
4. Limitations
Availability of the Expedited Payment Service is limited based on payment recipient capabilities, time of day, payment delivery mechanisms and other factors. Overnight check payments are unavailable for delivery to P.O. Box addresses or locations in AK, HI, and any U.S. territory outside of the contiguous 48 states and District of Columbia and for any foreign country. You are responsible to verify any address for overnight check payments to ensure the address is correct and is the valid overnight package delivery address of the payment recipient. We are not responsible for late delivery if you enter an undeliverable address for an overnight check payment. We are not responsible for errors made by you or the payment recipient. Due to the inherent need to expedite the payment, payment instructions will be completed promptly upon submission of a request from you. You will not have the ability to edit or cancel the payment instruction after you have confirmed the payment request. Please refer to the Limitation of Liability and Indemnity section of your Cash Management Services Disclosure and Agreement for further limitations and requirements.

D. Our Security Commitment
We are committed to provide you safe and secure online banking services. We are confident that our internal security infrastructure, requiring 128-bit domestic grade encryption, provides privacy and security to your account and transaction information.
E. Your Security Role to Protect Yourself
Your role in security is as important as ours. Here are some recommendations on how you can increase the privacy and security of the Services.
- You are responsible for the security and use of your username and password. Try not to select a password that is easily guessed (e.g., birth date or spouse name). If you think your password has been compromised, change it immediately online. You should then verify that no unauthorized transactions occurred on your account.
- Do not leave your computer unattended if you are still logged onto the Service.
- When you have completed your banking online, always remember to click "SIGN OFF" before visiting other Internet Web sites.
- If others use your computer, clear your cache or turn off and reinitiate your browser in order to eliminate copies of Web pages that have been stored in your hard drive. See your browser's HELP section for instructions on how to clear cache.
- We require that all browsers accessing the Services have 128-bit domestic grade encryption to conduct secure financial transactions over the Internet.
- Install and regularly update virus protection software.
F. The Browser
When using your browser to access a Service, the browser uses encryption technology that scrambles data to make it readable by the sender and designated receiver only. A key is required to decode the information.
When you request information about your accounts or loans, the encrypted (scrambled) request is sent to us or our Service Provider. We send our replies back to you in an encrypted (scrambled) format. Even though the information sent back and forth is encrypted (scrambled), you will be able to read the data on your computer screen.
You are required to use a browser with 128-bit encryption to use the Services.
If you need to upgrade your browser follow the simple instructions on how to do this located in the browser's HELP menu.
You can check to see what level of security your browser has within the browser HELP menu. For Microsoft Internet Explorer go to "Help" and then "About Internet Explorer." The version with Cipher (security) Strength should be listed. For Netscape, go to "Help" and then "About Communicator."
We review and approve the use of different browsers to ensure they meet our strict security standards.
In addition to the required browser encryption, usernames or customer IDs and passwords or PINs are used as another feature to help ensure that your transactions on the Internet are safe and secure. When you log on to the Services, we authenticate you by your username/Customer ID and password/PIN. This information is known only by you and it is up to you to keep this information secure. If you think that your information has been compromised: 1) Change your password or PIN immediately; 2) call us at 1-800-773-7100, press Option 3; and 3) check your account history for any unauthorized transactions.
Our firewall protects our systems by allowing entry only to those who are authorized.
For digital identity verification, we have a digital server certificate by Verisign that your browser uses each time you sign on to verify that you are connected to us.
