determine appropriate.
G. You will be responsible for acquiring, maintaining and operating any
hardware, systems, software and
telecommunications connections located at your premises and a connection to
the Internet. The Internet Banking
Services require no software installation, but minimum systems requirements
do apply. The Internet Banking

128-bit SSL capable browser.
Supported browsers are Apple Inc. Safari, Microsoft Internet Explorer,
Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox using

to time for business or technical or

If you have enrolled in the eStatement Service and, pursuant to this
Section, Internet Banking Services are
cancelled, terminated or suspended, Account statements in paper form shall
be provided to you.
3. Passwords, Authentication and Security
A. When you enroll in the Internet Banking Services, you will complete an
application (the "Private Wealth Online
Plus Account Opening Application") and select an identification (the
"Private Wealth ID"). The Private Wealth ID is
an alphanumeric code that you (and any users you grant access to the
Internet Banking Services) will need to log
in to the Services. The Bank will assign you a user identification (the
"User ID") for the primary user and an initial
password ("Password") for the primary user. The primary user must change the
Password when logging in for the
first time. The primary user may use the Internet Banking Service to add
users. The Private Wealth ID, User ID
and Password must be entered to access your Account(s), pay bills or perform
other banking transactions using
the Internet Banking Services. You are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your Private Wealth ID,
User ID and Password. You recognize that anyone with knowledge of your
Private Wealth ID, User ID and
Password will be able to access your Accounts and initiate transactions. You
may change your Password at
any time.
B. Use of the Internet Banking Services relies on advanced authentication
for increased security. An additional
authentication step may be required at times and you and any users you have
authorized to use the Internet
Banking Services may be prompted to enter a one-time security code based on
the telephone numbers the
Bank has in its records. You are responsible for providing accurate
telephone numbers for you and your users to
the Bank.
C. You agree that we may send notices and other communications, including
Private Wealth ID, User ID and
Password to the current address and/or email address that you have provided
us for our records, whether or not
that address includes a designation for delivery to the attention of any
particular individual. You further agree that
the Bank will not be responsible or liable to you in any way if information
is intercepted by an unauthorized person,
either in transit or at your place of business. You agree to:
EFTA01413073
i. keep your Private Wealth ID, User ID and Password secure and strictly
confidential;
ii.
instruct each person to whom you give your Private Wealth ID, User ID and
Password that he or she is not to
disclose such information to any unauthorized person;
Deutsche Bank Internet Banking Services Agreement for DB Private Wealth
Online Plus 4
EFTA01413074
iii.
immediately notify us and select a new Password if you believe your Password
may have become known to
an unauthorized person; and
iv. the Bank shall treat all statements and instructions issued using the
Private Wealth ID, User ID and Password
as having been issued by you, and that the Bank and its Service Providers
shall act in reliance upon such
statements and instructions.
The Bank and its Service Providers will have no liability to you for any
unauthorized payment or transfer made
using your Private Wealth ID, User ID and Password that occurs before you
have notified us of possible
unauthorized use and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that
notice. We may suspend or cancel
your Private Wealth ID, User ID and Password even without receiving such
notice from you, if we suspect your
Private Wealth ID, User ID and Password are being used in an unauthorized or
fraudulent manner.
D. For your protection, we recommend you memorize your Private Wealth ID,
User ID and Password and do not
write them down. For added security, you should change your Password
periodically. A properly constructed
Password affords you a greater degree of assurance. A Password is more
secure if:
i.
it contains more characters;
ii.
iii.
if those characters are both alpha and numeric characters; and
if it consists of both upper and lower case. If your Password is entered
incorrectly on 5 consecutive access
attempts, your access to the Internet Banking Services will be blocked. If
this occurs, please call Customer
Support at 1-866-362-4796 to have your Password reset. You should also take
precautions to protect your
personal identification information, such as your driver's license, and
social security number. If you believe
that your Private Wealth ID, User ID or Password have been lost or stolen,
or that someone has transferred
or may transfer money from your Account without your permission, notify us
immediately by calling the
number above.
E. We may provide you with an initial set of security codes, including
numbers and entry codes (collectively, the
"Security Code") to access the Internet Banking Services. We may also
provide you with operating procedures
and user guides (the "User Guides") in connection with certain Internet
Banking Services. You agree to:
i. comply with the User Guides and procedures that we provide to you;
EFTA01413075
take reasonable steps to safeguard the confidentiality and security of the
Security Code, User Guides,
and any other proprietary property or information we provide to you in
connection with the Internet
Banking Services;
iii. closely and regularly monitor the activities of Other Permitted Persons
who access the Internet
Banking Services; and
iv. notify us immediately, preferably by telephone, if you have any reason
to believe the security or confidentiality
the Security Code has compromised or that your Security Code has been
misused or become known to an
unauthorized person.
You agree to change your Security Code from time to time, and immediately in
the event that a person who has
had access to your Security Code is no longer authorized by you to use the
Internet Banking Services. We may
require you to change your Security Code at any time. You also agree that,
whenever anyone who is authorized
by you to use the Internet Banking Services is no longer authorized by you
to use the Internet Banking Services,
you will take all necessary measures to block further access by such person
to the Internet Banking Services.
F. You agree to limit disclosures of Private Wealth ID, User ID, Security
Code or Password to those Other Permitted
Persons authorized to use the Internet Banking Services or who have a
specific need to know them. You will
establish procedures to protect the confidentiality of all information
relating to the Internet Banking Services,
including each Security Code and Passwords.
G. If you are a business client, we may require you to designate one or more
persons as an administrator (each, an
"Administrator") for purposes of the Internet Banking Services. The
Administrator may use the Internet Banking
Services and may designate other persons (each, a "User" and collectively,
the "Users") who may also use the
Internet Banking Services. You acknowledge that we will not control (and may
not even be aware of) changes in
the Administrator or Users. The Administrator shall issue the passwords and/-
or security codes that will allow
Administrators and Users to access the Internet Banking Services; we do not
control or oversee these
Administrator functions. You, through your Administrator, will need to
designate which Accounts may be utilized
for which Internet Banking Services. The Administrators may determine User
access levels by specifying which
Internet Banking Services may be accessed using security codes issued by
them to themselves or to other
individual Users. You are encouraged to use this access restriction
capability to help reduce losses or damages
that may arise out of improper or unauthorized use of an Internet Banking
EFTA01413076
Service by a User. You agree that each
Administrator and each User are appointed as agents of yours, authorized to
use the Internet Banking Services
individually or together, including sending Payment Orders (as defined in
Section 6.v.) to us in your name. You
agree that you will be bound by any use of the Internet Banking Services or
Payment Orders we receive in your
name from any Administrator or User.
5 Deutsche Bank Internet Banking Services Agreement for DB Private Wealth
Online Plus
EFTA01413077
H. We may deny access to the Internet Banking Services without prior notice
if we are unable to confirm any person's
authority to access the Internet Banking Services or if we believe such
action is necessary for security reasons.
I. You acknowledge that accessing the Site and using Internet Banking
Services from public networks and locations
(for example, hotel business centers and internet cafes) and from locations
outside the United States may pose
increased risks of loss or theft of your Private Wealth ID, User ID,
Password and unauthorized access to your
Account(s). You agree that you accept such increased risks if you access the
Site or use the Internet Banking
Services from any such location.
3. By using the Internet Banking Services, you acknowledge and agree that
this Agreement sets forth security
procedures for electronic banking transactions that are commercially
reasonable. Our security procedures are not
designed for the detection of errors (e.g., duplicate payments or errors in
your fund transfer instructions). We will
not be obligated to detect errors by you or others, even if we take certain
actions from time to time to do so. You
agree to be bound by instructions, whether authorized or unauthorized, which
we receive and implement in
compliance with these procedures, unless you have given us prior notice of
possible unauthorized use as
described above (and we had a reasonable opportunity to act on such notice).
K. Based on your use of the Internet Banking Services, the Bank may, at our
sole discretion, provide you with and
require you to use a two-factor authentication method (an "RSA SecurlD") for
Internet Banking Services and to
sign an RSA addendum to this Agreement setting forth the terms and
conditions of your use of such RSA SecurlD
two-factor authentication.
4.
Internet Banking Services Fees
A. You agree to pay any and all fees associated with the Internet Banking
Services, if any, and in the Account
Agreement. Such amounts do not include, and you agree to be responsible for,
any sales, excise, use, value
added, utility or other similar taxes relating to such Internet Banking
Services. We reserve the right to change or
add fees for Internet Banking Services at any time. Advance notice of new
fees or fees changes will be provided if
required by law.
B. You are solely responsible for any telecommunications charges and any
other charges imposed by your telephone
and/or Internet access provider that you incur in accessing the Site or
Internet Banking Services and any charges
that would, in the absence of this Agreement, apply to your Accounts or any
other relationship with or services
provided to you by the Bank or any other member of the Deutsche Bank Group.
EFTA01413078
You are solely responsible for the
costs associated with acquiring, maintaining and operating the computer
equipment located at your premises and
a connection to the Internet, and otherwise meeting the minimum systems
requirements set forth in Section 2(G)
of this Agreement.
C. Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the Internet
Banking Services were used during the
billing cycle. There may be a charge for additional transactions and other
optional services. You agree to pay such
charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from your
designated billing Account (or any other
account of yours at the Bank) for these amounts and any additional charges
that may be incurred by you. Any
financial fees associated with your Accounts as set forth in the Account
Agreement will continue to apply.
5. Business Days and Hours

B. Business Hours
For purposes of this Agreement, our business hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00

Banking Services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except during any time
where the Site is inaccessible.

Liability
A. Liability for Unauthorized Use.
i. Call us AT ONCE at 1 866-362-4796 if you believe that someone has
transferred or may transfer money from
your Account without your permission or if you believe your Private Wealth
ID, User ID or Password has been
compromised. You can notify the Bank by telephone at the number above, or by
calling your Private Banker
or in writing at the following address: Deutsche Bank Trust Company of
Americas, Branch Operations,
345 Park Avenue, MS NYC20-0102, New York, NY 10154. Telephoning immediately
is the best way of
keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your
Account(s).
ii. For consumers: If you notify us within two Business Days after you learn
of the loss or theft of your Private
Wealth ID, User ID or Password, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone
used your Private Wealth ID,
User ID or Password without your permission or otherwise made an
unauthorized electronic funds transfer
from your Account. If you do not tell us within two Business Days after you
learn of the loss or theft of your
Private Wealth ID, User ID or Password and we can show that, had you told
the Bank, it could have stopped
someone from using the Private Wealth ID, User ID or Password without your
permission or making other
unauthorized electronic transfers from your Account, you could lose as much
as $500.00.
iii. For consumers: If your statement shows transfers that you did not make,
tell us at once. You must notify the
Bank within sixty (60) days after the statement was made available to you.
You may not get back the money
lost due to unauthorized transfers after those sixty (60) days if the Bank
can show that your providing notice
within those sixty (60) days could have prevented the loss. If a good reason
(such as a long trip or hospital
stay) kept you from telling the Bank, we will extend the time periods.
iv. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, we will not be liable
or have any responsibility of any kind for
any loss or damage incurred by you as a result, directly or indirectly, of
any unauthorized person gaining
access to, or otherwise making use of, the Internet Banking Services.
v. With your agreement we may use a Security Code as a security procedure to
prevent unauthorized funds
transfers or other payments (requests for funds transfers, ACH entries,
transfers between accounts, bill
payment, other payment orders or other communications will be referred to as
"Payment Orders" and each of
which as a "Payment Order"). You acknowledge that you have been offered
alternative security procedures
EFTA01413080
and have chosen the Internet Banking Services and these procedures after
consideration of the risks of loss
faced by you due to the possibility of an unauthorized transaction
occurring. We may process any Payment
Order we receive in your name and you will be responsible for it if it was
initiated using one of your Security
Codes. If a Payment Order issued to us in your name as sender is verified as
authentic using the security
codes the Payment Order will be effective as your Payment Order whether or
not authorized. This means that
you will be deemed to have given the Payment Order, and you will be
obligated on it (including to pay us the
amount), even if it was not authorized by you. Each time you send a Payment
Order through the Internet
Banking Services, you warrant that the Security Code is a commercially
reasonable method to detect an
unauthorized transaction, based on the circumstances involved (e.g., the
size, type, and frequency of your
transfers, as well as your internal controls). If at any time the Security
Code ceases to be a commercially
reasonable method to detect unauthorized transactions (such as by a change
in your usage patterns or other
circumstances), you agree to inform us immediately.
vi. Except as described and set forth in this Agreement, you agree that you
are responsible for and bound by any
Payment Order that is received by us in your name if it was authorized by
you, whether or not we used the
security procedures to verify authenticity or could have prevented a loss to
you by using the security
procedures to verify the authenticity of the Payment Order. You agree that
we will not be responsible for
verifying whether a Payment Order or other communication is originated by an
authorized person other than
through the verification process contained in these security procedures.
Thus, when an employee is added or
deleted as an authorized person on the system, the Bank will treat that
person as "authorized" if the security
procedures are followed, without verifying that employee with you or
otherwise investigating whether the
employee is exercising authority granted by you or consistent with any
internal limitations on activity
established by you for that employee. Among other things, this means that
you will be solely liable for any
losses or damages resulting from your breach of this Agreement or to which
your negligence contributed, or
which resulted from unauthorized, fraudulent or dishonest acts by your
current and/or former authorized
agents (including instances where an authorized agent acted to your
detriment).
vii. You are responsible for controlling access to the Internet Banking
Services and for any limitations placed by
EFTA01413081
you on the Internet Banking Services that an authorized person may utilize.
The fact that we are, or may be
aware of, or could have discovered, any limitation on access to an Internet
Banking Service does not make us
obligated to enforce or attempt to enforce any limitation. You understand
that each authorized person may
utilize the Internet Banking Services without regard to any restrictions
otherwise applicable to an Account.
B. Limitation on Liability
i. For consumers: If we do not complete an electronic funds transfer (as
defined in the Electronic Funds

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, 345 Park Avenue, Attn: Banking
Department, MS NYC20-0108,
New York, NY 10154 during regular business hours immediately, if you think
your statement is wrong or if you
need more information about an electronic funds transfer listed on the
statement. We must hear from you no later
than sixty (60) days after we sent the first statement on which the problem
or error appeared. To report an error or
get more information:
provide your name and Account number;
EFTA01413086

you can why you believe it is an error or
why you need information;

question in writing within ten (10)
Business Days.
For consumers: For electronic fund transfers (as defined in the Electronic
Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E of
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau), we will determine whether an
error occurred within ten (10) Business
Days after we hear from you, inform you whether an error occurred and will
correct any error within one Business
Day. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days
to investigate. If we decide to do this,
we will provisionally credit your Account within ten (10) Business Days
after receiving your notice 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
investigation. We will notify you of the amount and date of the provisional
credit within two Business Days of
providing the provisional credit to you. If we ask you to put your inquiry
in writing and we do not receive it within
ten (10) Business Days, we may not credit your Account. If the Bank has
provided a provisional credit to your
Account in the amount of the claimed error, and after investigation the Bank
determines that no error was made,
then the Bank will notify you within three (3) Business Days that the Bank
will reverse the provisional credit.
However, the Bank will continue to honor checks, drafts, similar items and
preauthorized transfers for five (5)
Business Days following the notice of its intention to reverse the
provisional credit. The Bank will tell you the
results within three (3) Business Days after completing our investigation.
The Bank will correct the error within one
Business Day after the Bank determines an error occurred. If the Bank
decides that there was no error, the Bank
will send you a written explanation of our findings within three (3)
Business Days. You may ask for copies of the
documents that the Bank used in making its determination. For alleged errors
occurring within thirty (30) days of
first deposit into new Accounts, point-of-sale or foreign-initiated
transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days
to investigate your complaint or question. For alleged errors occurring
within thirty (30) days of first deposit into
new Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) Business Days to credit your
Account for the amount you think is in
error.

8. Confidentiality and Data Protection
A. It is our general policy to treat your Account information as
confidential. The Bank will take reasonable measures
to prevent the dissemination of information furnished to you through the
Internet Banking Services concerning
your Accounts, but has no means of controlling communication by means of the
Internet or any other
telecommunications service you may use to access the Services and cannot
guarantee that such information will
not be intercepted.
The Bank and its Service Providers may collect, process, and transmit data
obtained from and about you in the
course of your accessing and using the Internet Banking Services. You agree
that any information on the
Bank's records may be disclosed to our Service Providers and to third
parties as designated by you in
compliance with our procedures, your Account Agreement, or as required or
permitted by law or regulation,
including without limitation:
i. where it is necessary for completing transfers or other transactions or
to send notice of dishonor or
nonpayment;
ii. where it is necessary for activating or providing additional services
requested by you;
iii. when it is necessary, in the normal course of business, to verify the
existence and condition of your Account
for a third party, such as a credit bureau, merchant or financial
institution;
iv. in order to comply with a governmental agency or court orders or to
otherwise furnish information required
by law;
v.
if you give use your permission;

C. You acknowledge and agree that the operation of the Internet Banking
Services may require the transfer of
personal data concerning you to and between countries some of which may not
have the same legal protections
regarding bank customer information as the United States. It may be that, in
various jurisdictions, including your
home jurisdiction and the jurisdictions where Service Providers are located,
the presence of account information
on your PC or on "servers" located in such jurisdictions will give the
governmental authorities and courts therein
greater legal or practical ability to obtain such information. You agree
EFTA01413089
that the Bank shall not be responsible for
any consequences of the foregoing.
D. For more information regarding our privacy policy and practices, you can
