There are a couple of features that require your attention right away in order for you to take advantage of our convenient new services. Namely, Online Banking and Online Bill Pay. Don’t worry, we are here to help. FOR ONLINE BANKING With the current system, we will be able to process any transactions scheduled by 7 am CT on Friday, October 9. After that, you will only be able to view your account transactions and statements. If you currently log in to online banking using the personal button, you will be able to download statements from the old system until Wednesday, December 9, 2015. If you currently log in using the business button, you will not have access to your history. If you need assistance, please call us at 855.629.7618. Please see page 5 for more details. After 1 pm CT on Monday, October 12, you can activate your account in our new online banking system. If you don’t, you won’t be able to bank online. And that would be a bummer. You’ll need to re-enroll to continue to receive your statements electronically. Turn to page 6 for more details on re-enrolling. After 1 pm CT on Monday, October 12, you can schedule any of your transfers or Hillcrest Bank loan payments. Go to “Money Center” or “Transfer Funds” after logging in to your account.

For residential real estate clients, partial payments will be reflected on your monthly statements as ‘Unapplied Funds’ and will not be credited to the loan balance until the full amount of the scheduled payment is received. Complete payments not made by the due date will incur late charges on the full payment amount past due. Loan payment coupons will be phased out. You may begin receiving a billing statement instead. You may use either the billing remittance or your remaining loan coupons to send in with your payment. We will not be sending billing statements to auto loan clients currently using loan payment coupons. If you have a revolving line of credit, all payments must be made in U.S. dollars and must be received by us consistent with any payment instructions provided on or with your periodic billing statement. If a payment is made consistent with our payment instructions but received after 5 pm CT Monday through Friday on a business day, we will apply your payment to your credit line on the next business day. You will receive a statement for your escrow and real estate secured accounts showing any activity from January 1, 2015, through October 12, 2015. Please retain these statements for your personal records. In January, you will receive a second statement for any first residential real estate loan showing your account activity from October 13, 2015, through December 31, 2015. This statement, coupled with the one provided in October, will provide a complete picture of the activity in your escrow account in 2015. Please retain these statements for your records. All loans from Hillcrest Bank will now display as NBH Bank, N.A. on all credit bureau reporting after the conversion. 10 The bank name will remain Hillcrest Bank on year-end tax reports. ! If you have a Ready Cash Reserve (RCR) account for overdraft protection, effective October 12: Ready Cash Reserve account information will no longer be printed on your checking account statements. You will receive a separate statement as of the last day of the month. Depending upon the date of your last statement, your October statement may have more or less than one month’s worth of activity and you may receive two statements in October. After October, subsequent statements will contain only one month’s worth of activity. The billing due date is 20 days after the date of the statement. You will not be allowed to overdraft your related checking account in order to make your Ready Cash Reserve payment. If no payment is made, interest will continue to accrue on the full outstanding balance of your Ready Cash Reserve. 11 KEY DATES AND DETAILS Below are important dates and details to remember as we approach our system upgrade on October 12, 2015.

We do not have to pay an item if there are not sufficient available funds in your Account to cover the full amount of that item. If there are available funds in your Account to cover some, but not all, of the items presented against your Account on any day, (A) we will process, post and pay those items for which there are sufficient available funds in your Account according to our standard posting order described above and (b) we handle all other items in accordance with our overdraft procedures described below or in accordance with any other agreement you may have with us. Even if we choose to pay one or more overdrafts, we are not obligated to cover any future overdrafts. We are not required to send you prior notice on items returned for insufficient available funds or items we pay into the overdraft. You agree to deposit sufficient available funds to cover any overdraft and any service fees upon notice of the overdraft, and to reimburse us for any costs we incur in collecting the overdraft from you. (ii) Overdraft Practices. An overdraft occurs when you do not have sufficient available funds in your Account to cover an item but, as a convenience to you, we pay it anyway. We may cover your overdraft by using standard overdraft practices that apply to your Account. In addition, we also offer additional overdraft protection plans that may cover an overdraft, such as a link to a checking, savings or money market account, or a line of credit which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices. To learn more, please ask us about these plans. In addition to the standard overdraft practices applying to your Account, we offer three additional services to our clients. Each provides a different level of protection when sufficient available funds are not available in your Account to meet your spending needs. Our overdraft practices are not a guarantee of payment. To learn more, please ask us about these plans. (A) Enhanced Regulation E Overdraft Service. If your Account meets our eligibility standards (based on the length of time your Account has been opened, the type of activity, and your usage of the Account), with your consent, we may pay ATM transactions and everyday debit card transactions such as grocery or gas purchases. (Adds reliability and reduces risk of your ATM or debit card transaction being declined at the ATM or merchant location.) (B) Overdraft Protection Transfer Services (Deficit Transfer). Optional “Overdraft Protection” is available to link a second account such as a checking, saving or money market account to your Account to cover an overdraft in $100 increments. (Please consult our Service Fee Schedule for additional details on fees.) (C) Ready Cash Reserve. You may also choose to apply for “Ready Cash Reserve” a line of credit we offer to qualified depositors to cover overdrafts. A fee will apply for each transfer (Please consult our Service Fee Schedule for additional details on fees). Interest charges may also apply. Please ask about additional details or for additional materials regarding Ready Cash Reserve. Subject to credit approval. (Provides peace of mind and may provide a safety net, especially in an emergency.) 22 (iii) Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Our Overdraft Services. What fees will I be charged if you pay my overdraft? Under our standard overdraft practices we will not charge an overdraft fee on transactions less than $5.00. We will not charge an overdraft fee if your Account balance is overdrawn by less than $5.00. Please note that we will not charge you more than 5 per item fees each business day. If your Account remains overdrawn more than 5 consecutive business days, on the 5th business day we will charge you a continuous overdraft fee each business day until your Account balance is brought to a positive balance. Please consult our Service Fee Schedule for additional details on overdraft fees. What if I want you to authorize and pay ATM transactions and everyday debit card transactions with my consent? If you want us to authorize and pay these items as described above in our “Enhanced Regulation E Overdraft Service”, your consent is needed to “Opt In” to this service. You can visit one of our banking centers, call Telebank 24 and press zero to speak to an operator; or log into online banking to sign up for this service. You can “Opt Out” at any time by visiting your local banking center, calling Telebank 24, or by logging into online banking. (iv) Discretionary Nature of Our Overdraft Services. Additionally, we may pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any item. We may authorize and pay items based on a variety of factors, such as your Account’s tenure, overdraft behavior or balance information. Our Enhanced Regulation E Overdraft Service described above is a discretionary overdraft service; if factors warrant, we may not pay overdrafts and will return or decline to authorize overdraft items. If you do not give us consent to pay these overdrafts and you attempt an ATM or debit card transaction that exceeds your available Account balance, your transaction will be declined at the ATM or merchant location. Your available balance will not include pending credits, such as payroll deposits and may not include deposit activity of the day of the attempted transaction. (v) Helpful Tips for Avoiding Overdrafts. Excessive overdrafts are discouraged. They are expensive and may damage your credit. Here are some suggestions on how to avoid overdrawing your Account: (A) Know your Account balance and keep a check register that is up to date. You may check your Account balance anytime with these free services: online banking, mobile banking or Telebank 24 automated line. However, please remember that your Account balance reported through these free services will not reflect outstanding items, such as debits and checks not yet posted to your Account. (B) Sign up for eAlerts to receive an email or text message when your Account balance is running low. Additional data and message fees may apply. (C) Utilize our Overdraft Protection Transfer Services by setting up an automatic transfer from another account or apply for “Ready Cash Reserve”, a line of credit that would automatically cover an overdraft. (D) Contact us if you need assistance. 23 What you need to know about Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees (effective Monday, October 12, 2015) ! If you previously opted out of all overdraft protection coverage, your account(s) will now have standard coverage. An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway. We can cover your overdrafts in two different ways: 1. We have standard overdraft practices that come with your account if it meets eligibility requirements. 2. We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to another checking, savings, money market, or line of credit, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices. To learn more, ask us about these plans. This notice explains our standard overdraft practices. What are the standard overdraft practices that come with my account? We do authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions: • Checks and other transactions made using your checking account number • Automatic bill payments We do not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to (see below): • ATM transactions • Everyday debit card transactions We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transactions. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined or your item will be returned which may result in additional fees from the merchant. What fees will I be charged if the Bank pays my overdraft? Under our standard overdraft practices: • We will not charge an overdraft fee on transactions less than $5.00 or if your account balance is overdrawn by less than $5.00. • We will charge you a fee of up to $35 each time we pay an overdraft. • However, if your account is overdrawn more than 5 consecutive business days, on the 5th business day we will charge a continuous overdraft fee of $5 per business day until your account balance is brought to a positive balance. • We will not charge you more than 5 per item overdraft fees per day (i.e. total overdraft fees per day could equal, but not exceed $175).
