ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER DISCLOSURE
1. Coverage. This Agreement applies to transactions conducted with
an automated teller card ("Card") issued to you at your request, which
permits you to access through certain terminals ("terminals") certain of
your accounts established with us. This Agreement also applies to
preauthorized electronic fund transfers to and from certain of your deposit
accounts established with us. This Agreement applies to all persons that are
party to the accounts. Every person who can use the accounts is responsible
for the use of the Card. In this Agreement, the terms "you" and "your" refer
to each party to the account, and the terms "us," "we", and "our" refer to
the Bank. Transactions and accounts governed by this Agreement are also
subject to applicable federal and Wisconsin laws and regulations and any
other rules or agreements governing or referring to the transactions or
accounts, including but not limited to account agreements, debit card rules,
funds availability rules, depository agreements and the Operating Rules of
the National Automated Clearing House Association. Except as may be
specifically indicated in this Agreement, in cases of inconsistency or
conflict between the other rules or agreements and this Agreement, this
Agreement shall control.
2. Authorized Use of Card and PIN. We will issue a personal
identification number ("PIN") to you for use in connection with the Card.
You agree not to disclose the PIN to anyone other than authorized users of
the Card. If anyone uses your Card or PIN with your permission, you will be
responsible for any charges made to the account. You agree to safely keep
the Card and PIN, not to record the PIN on the Card or otherwise disclose or
make it available to anyone other than an authorized user, and to use the
Card and PIN only at terminals that accept the Card and as instructed.
3. Liability Disclosure. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card or
PIN has been lost or stolen or if you believe there have been unauthorized
transfers to or from your account. Telephoning is the best way of keeping
your possible losses down. You can lose no more
than $50 if someone used your Card and PIN without your permission. If any
other unauthorized transfer was made from your account, and you do not tell
us within 60 days of the date we mail a periodic statement to you, you may
not get any money you lost after the 60 days if we show that we could have
stopped someone from taking the money if you would have told us in time. You
can lose no more than $50 for unauthorized transfers occurring within 60
days after the periodic statement was mailed to you. If a good reason (such
as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend
the time periods.
4. Address and Telephone Number. If you believe your Card or PIN has
been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money
from your account without your permission, call
1-800-267-3610 or write Baylake Bank, Attn: Deposit Processing at P.O. Box
9, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235.
5. Business Day Disclosure. Our business days are Monday through
Friday. The following holidays are not included as business days: Federal
Holidays.
6. Goods and Services Purchased. If a merchant accepts the Card in
payment of goods or services, and you receive credit for goods returned or
adjustments, the merchant will send us a credit slip. We will apply the
credit slip as a credit to
your account. We will not make cash refunds to you on purchases made with
the Card. Unless your use of the Card results in a loan from us to you, you
must raise any claim or defense with respect to goods or services purchased
with your Card directly with the merchant who honored the Card.
7. Chargebacks. As to any transaction which (a) involves a sale of
goods or services which is paid for directly through a terminal; (b)
involves a transfer of $50 or more from a deposit account; and (c) does not
involve a check or draft, we shall, upon receipt within three business days
of the transaction of written or oral notice from you, reverse the
transaction and recredit your account.
8. Terminal Malfunctions. Terminals and these services are available
for your convenience and we are not liable for the unavailability or failure
to operate of all or any part of a terminal. You release us from liability
for personal injury or property damage incurred by you in connection with
use of the Card or any terminal and consequential damages incurred in
connection with the use of a Card or terminal.
9. Termination. We may terminate your privilege of using the Card and
may withhold approval of any transaction at any time. The privilege of using
the Card by any of you may be terminated by any one person who can use the
accounts accessible with the Card. The Card is our property and shall be
surrendered by you to us upon request and regardless of who terminates the
Card privileges. Termination shall not affect the rights and obligations of
the parties for transactions made with the Card before the privileges are
terminated.
10. Account Access. You may use your Card and PIN to accomplish the
following transactions (some of these services may not be available at all
terminals.
11. Overdrafts/Credit Account. Each withdrawal or transfer from an
account is an order to us to pay from that account at that time, which we
may charge against the account even though the charge creates an overdraft.
The time required to charge or credit your account after you use your Card
will depend on the location of the terminal and the type of transaction. If
you overdraw your account you agree to immediately pay us the overdrawn
amount, together with any applicable fees. If the account is maintained in
connection with an overdraft credit plan, any overdraft will be made in
accordance with the agreement or rules governing that account rather than
this Agreement. If any account is a credit account, such as a Visa card or
MasterCard card account, you should refer to the agreement provided in
connection with that account for your rights and responsibilities relating
to transactions affecting that account in which the Card is used.
12. Transaction Limitations. Federal law limits the number of
preauthorized and automatic transfers from this account to a maximum of six
per calendar month. For money market accounts, transfers or
withdrawals made by check, draft, debit card or similar order payable to
third parties are included in the six preauthorized and automatic transfers.
Preauthorized transfers include automatic transfers to another account or to
a third party accomplished by written or oral agreement, computer payments,
telephone instructions, or Automated Clearing House (ACH) at a predetermined
time or on a regular or automatic basis. There is no restriction on
transfers to your loan account at Baylake Bank, or withdrawals made in
person, by mail or at an Automated Teller Machine (ATM).
13. Charge for Transfers. We will charge you for electronic fund
transfers the fees, if any, identified in our current fee schedule
accompanying this Agreement, as may be amended from time to time. A fee may
also be imposed by a terminal/network operator if you initiate a transfer
from a terminal that is not operated by us. You will be notified of any such
fee when you use the terminal.
14. Terminal Transfers. You can get a receipt at the time you make
any transfer to or from your account using a terminal.
15. Periodic Statements. Unless the only type of electronic transfer
that you receive is a preauthorized deposit to your passbook account, you
will get a monthly account statement. If there are no transfers in a
particular month, you will get a statement at least quarterly.
16. Passbook Account Where the Only Possible Electronic Fund Transfers
are Preauthorized Credits. If you bring your passbook to us, we will
record any electronic deposits that were made to your account since the last
time you brought in your passbook.
17. Preauthorized Credits. If you have arranged to have direct
deposits made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same
person or company, you can call us at 1-800-267-3610 to find out whether or
not the deposit has been made.
18. Preauthorized Withdrawals.
(a) Right to Stop Payment and Procedure for Doing So. If you have
told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can
stop any of these payments. Here's how:

stopping payment identified in our current fee schedule accompanying this
Agreement as may be amended from time to time.
(b) Notice of Varying Amounts. If these regular payments may vary in
amount the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each
payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose
instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a
certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall
outside certain limits that you set.
(c) Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfers.
If you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more before
the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your
losses or damages.
19. Our Liability For Failure to Make Transfers. If we do not
complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount
according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or
damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for
instance:
-if, through no fault of ours, your account does not contain enough money to
make the transfer.
-if the money in your account is subject to legal process or other
encumbrances restricting the transfer.
-if the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft credit
plan, if any.
-if the terminal where you are making the transfer does not have enough
cash.

about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
-if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the
transfer despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
-if incomplete or inaccurate information is forwarded by the U.S. Treasury
or through an automated clearing house.

third parties about your account or the transfers you make: (a) to third
parties where it is necessary for completing or tracing transfers or
resolving errors or claims; or (b) to verify or disclose the existence,
amount or condition of your accounts for third parties, such as credit

If the error involves an electronic transfer from your account to buy goods
or services direct from a merchant, a transfer initiated outside of the
United States or a transfer that occurred within 30 days after the first
deposit to the account was made, the 45 day time period to investigate your
complaint or question will be 90 days in place of 45 days.
We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our
investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a
written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in
