The term "Eligible accounts" means the following types of accounts: checking, savings, CD, IRA, personal credit line, home equity credit line and installment loans. The term "Internet banking", "Internet banking service" or "Services" means accessing your eligible and linked accounts through the internet for any of the following services: account history, account transfers, stop payments, password changes, address changes, statement requests, transaction research and secure online e-mail communications with the Bank. The terms "we", "us", "our", and "Bank" mean Port Richmond Savings, which holds your deposit, savings, credit line or installment account that you can access through Internet Banking. The terms "you", "your" and "yours" mean each person who has an interest in an account which is accessible through Internet Banking and any person authorized to use Internet Banking.

3. Accepting This Agreement

When you use Internet Banking, or authorize others to use it, you agree to the terms and conditions of the entire Agreement. It also acts as your agreement allowing all disclosures or other information required under applicable law to be sent electronically if we should choose to do so. You do have the ability to request a paper copy of these disclosures and other information by calling 215-634-7000. You may be charged a reasonable service charge.

4. Relationship to Other Agreements

Your use of Internet Banking may also be affected by the agreements between us for your savings or other linked accounts. When you link an account to Internet Banking, you do not change the agreements you already have with us for that account. For example, when you use Internet Banking to access your savings account, you do so under the terms and conditions we gave you in the agreement and disclosure for the savings account. You should review those agreements for applicable fees, for limitation on the number of transaction you can make, and for other restrictions that might impact your use of Internet Banking. This Agreement will control if there are any irreconcilable conflicts between the terms of those agreements and this Agreement.

5. Eligible Accounts

Access to Internet Banking requires that you have at least one checking or savings account with us that, according to our records, is identified with your Social Security Number or Employer Indemnification Number. All of your existing Eligible Accounts identified with your Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number will be automatically linked together and will be accessible through Internet Banking. If you want to limit or add future Eligible Accounts linked to Internet Banking, please call us at 1-215-634-7000 and a Customer Service Banking representative will discuss these options with you.

6. Joint Accounts

When Internet Banking is linked to one or more joint accounts, we may act on the verbal, written or electronic instructions of any authorized signer. Any account that requires two or more persons acting jointly through signature or otherwise, to initiate a transaction or a transfer, is not eligible for Internet Banking.

7. Your Computer and Software

To use Internet Banking, you must have a personal computer, modem and the Software installed and working on your computer to access the Internet through an Internet Service Provider. In an effort to make it harder for unauthorized people to obtain your information being transmitted over the Internet, your web browser Software must provide encryption using a 128-bit key. It is your responsibility to install, maintain and upgrade the computer, related equipment and Software for your use of Internet Banking as needed. We are not responsible for errors or failure from any malfunction of your computer, related equipment or the Software or any computer virus that may affect your computer system or other related problems that may result, directly or indirectly, from your use of Internet Banking.

8. Your Password and User Name

To gain access to Internet Banking, you must enter your Internet Banking user name and password that you selected during your enrollment. The user name and password are collectively called the Access Codes. Your password can be changed within Internet Banking and we recommend that you change the password on a regular basis. We also recommend that you do not use the same Access Codes that you use for other Bank products. If you forget your password, please give us a call at 1-215-634-7000 and a Customer Service Banking representative will reset your password to a new "one-time use" password. The "one-time use" password can only be used once. When you log on to Internet Banking with the "one-time use" password, you will be asked to select another password for future access to Internet Banking. The loss of your user name and answer to special question may require that you re-enroll in Internet Banking. We recommend that you keep all Access Codes confidential to prevent unauthorized access to your accounts and to prevent unauthorized use of Internet Banking.

For reasons of security, we can cancel any of your Access Codes at any time without giving you any notice that we are going to do so. You agree that the use of the Access Codes as outlined in this Agreement is a reasonable security procedure to access Internet Banking and as means of establishing your identity and acceptance of electronic communications. All electronic communications using these Access Codes will be deemed to be valid and authentic and you agree that those electronic communications will be given the same legal effect as written and signed paper communications. You also agree that electronic copies of communications are valid and you will not contest the validity of the originals or copies, absent proof of altering or tampering.

9. Transfer Funds

You can transfer funds to your linked Bank checking or savings from your linked checking or savings account. You can also transfer funds as a payment to your linked Bank loan from your linked checking or savings accounts. The completion of a transfer is subject to the availability of sufficient funds and available funds at the time of final processing. If you do not have enough funds, you may incur an insufficient funds fee. Please refer to the applicable account agreement and fee schedule for details.

Transfers you submit from a deposit account (checking or savings) are immediately reflected in your Available Balance for that account.

Transfers entered before the cut-off time which is usually 3:00 PM ET on a bank business day are processed on that bank business day.

Transfers entered after the cut-off time or on a non-bank business day are processed on the next bank business day.

All transfers from a deposit account entered before 3:00 PM ET are reflected on your statement with the calendar day they were entered.

The crediting of funds depends on the type of account that you are transferring to and the daily cut-off time. Transfers to deposit accounts are immediately reflected in your Available Balance. In order for transferred funds to be available to pay checks or direct debits items that are processed against your account overnight, they must be entered before the cut-off time which is usually 3:00 PM ET. To avoid possible insufficient funds or overdraft fees, please be sure to "Send" your transfers before the cut-off time.

10. Limitations for Transfers

You authorize the Bank to withdraw the necessary funds from your Bank account on the date you schedule a transfer to be initiated or submit a transfer request. You agree that you will instruct us to make a withdrawal only when a sufficient balance is or will be available in your accounts at the time of the withdrawal. If you do not have a sufficient balance, including available credit under any overdraft protection plan, we may refuse to complete the transaction. In either case, we reserve the right to impose a non-sufficient funds fee (NSF), and no further attempt will be made by the bank to process the transfer request. The bank is under no obligation to notify you if it does not complete a transfer because there are non-sufficient funds in your account to process the transaction.

11. Canceling Transfers

You cannot cancel your transfer after it has been entered in Internet Banking and the information has been transmitted to us. However, you can use Internet Banking to reverse a transaction after it has been entered.

12. Balance and Transaction Information

Tell us at once if you believe your Internet Banking password has been compromised or if someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission. The best way to minimize your loss is to call us IMMEDIATELY. The unauthorized use of your Internet Banking service could cause you to lose all of your money in your accounts, plus any amount available under your overdraft protection.

If you tell us within 2 business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission. If you do not tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your password without your permission if you told us, you could lose as much as $500.

If your statement shows transfers that you did not make, contact us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was available to you, you may not get back any money lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.

When you give someone your user name and password, you are authorizing that person to use your Internet Banking service, and you are responsible for all transactions the person performs using your service. All transactions that person performs, even those transaction you did not intend or want performed, are authorized transactions. If you notify us that the person is no longer authorized, then transactions that person performs after the time you notify us are considered unauthorized.

Transactions that you or someone acting with you initiates with fraudulent intent are also authorized transactions.

For your protection, sign off after every Internet Banking session and close your browser to ensure confidentiality.

31. Applicable Only to Consumers and Sole Proprietors-Bank's Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions

If we do not complete a transaction to or from your account on time, or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your actual losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable in the following instances:

• If, through no fault of ours, you don't have enough available funds in you account (or available credit under your overdraft protection plan) to cover the transfer. • If Internet Banking weren't working properly, and you knew about the malfunction when you started the transaction or transfer. • If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transaction or transfer, despite reasonable precautions we've taken. • There may be other exceptions not specifically mentioned.

32. Applicable Only to Business Accounts (Other than Sole Proprietors)- Protecting your Password

You agree that we may send notices and other communications to the current address shown in our records, whether or not that address includes a designation for delivery to the attention of any particular individual. You further agree that 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: 1) keep your password secure and strictly confidential, providing it only to authorized signers on your account(s); 2) instruct each person to whom you give your password that he or she is not to disclose it to any unauthorized person; and 3) immediately notify us and select a new password if you believe your password may have become known to an unauthorized person.

THE BANK WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFER MADE USING YOUR 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 password even without receiving such notice from you, if we suspect your password is being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner.

By using Internet Banking, you acknowledge and agree that this Agreement sets forth security procedures for electronic banking transactions that are commercially reasonable. You agree to be bound by instructions, whether authorized or unauthorized, which we implement in compliance with these procedures, unless you have given us prior notice of possible unauthorized use as describe above (and we had a reasonable opportunity to act on such notice).

34. Applicable Only to Business Accounts (Other than Sole Proprietors)- Limitation of Bank's Liability

If we fail or delay in making a transfer pursuant to your instructions, or if we make a transfer in an erroneous amount which is less that the amount per your instructions, unless otherwise required by law, our liability shall be limited to interest on the amount which we failed to timely transfer, calculated from the date on which the transfer was to be made until the date it was actually made or you canceled the instructions. If we make a transfer in an erroneous amount which exceeds the amount per your instructions, or if we permit an unauthorized transfer after we have had a reasonable time to act on a notice from you of possible unauthorized use as described above, unless otherwise required by law, our liability will be limited to a refund of the amount erroneously transferred, plus interest thereon from the date of the transfer to the date of the refund, but in no event to exceed 60 days' interest. If we become liable to you for interest compensation under this Agreement or applicable law, such interest shall be calculated based on the average federal funds rate at the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank for each day interest is due, computed on the basis of a 360-day year.

UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE BANK BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR ATTORNEYS' FEES, EVEN IF WE ARE ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
