     correct  amount and manner  according to our  agreement  with your and your
     employer,  we will be liable for your loses and damages,  except as limited
     herein.  However,  there are some exceptions.  For example,  we will not be
     liable under the following circumstances;  (i) if through no fault of ours,
     you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer;  (ii) if
     the ATM where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash;  (iii)
     if the  ATM,  POS or  other  device  was  not  working  properly;  (iv)  if
     circumstances  beyond our control (such as fire, flood,  telecommunications
     or computer malfunctions or acts of God) prevent the transfer; (v) if funds
     are encumbered  through legal process;  or (iv) if we receive incomplete or

     Automated Clearing Houses.


<PAGE>
(b)  Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers.  You agree to use the Card, PIN,

     believe your Card has been lost, stolen, or if someone has possibly learned
     your PIN. Telephoning us is the best way of keeping your possible losses to
     a minimum.  You could lose all the money assigned to your Card account.  If
     you tell us within two (2) business  days, you can lose no more than $50 if
     someone  used  your Card  without  your  permission.  If you do not tell us
     within tow (2)  business  days after you learn of the loss or theft of your
     Card,  and we prove we could  have  stopped  someone  from  using your Card
     without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

     Further, if your Card statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell
     us at  once.  If you do not  tell us  within  sixty  (60)  days  after  the
     statement  was  delivered  to you,  you may not get back any money you lost
     after the 60 days, if we can prove that we could have stopped  someone from
