Online Bill Payer Services.

You may direct the Bank to make payments from your Transaction Account to third parties ("Payees") whom you have selected to receive payments if you subscribe to Bill Payer (the "Service").

You may make payments through the Service to any business, merchant, or professional that generates a bill or invoice for products or services provided to you on your behalf and that has an address we can verify ("Business Payee"). You may also make payments through the Service to individuals, family, or friends for non-business purposes ("Individual Payees"). Payments may be made only to Payees with a United States payment address. You may not make a payment of alimony, child support, taxes or other governmental fees or court-directed payments or initiate deposits to another account through the Service.

By providing the Bank with the names and account information of those persons or entities to whom you wish to direct payment, you authorize the Bank to follow the payment instructions that it receives from you. When the Service receives a payment instruction, you authorize the Bank to charge your transaction account on the selected Send Payment Date and remit funds to the designated payee on your behalf.

Using the Service.

You may use any personal computer with internet access to initiate transfers and payments through the Service. To use the Service, you must provide to the Bank via the Online Banking Site information that identifies your Payees through the Online Banking Site. You must provide sufficient information about a Payee to permit the Bank to properly direct a payment and permit the Payee upon receipt of a payment to identify you as the payment source.

BILL PAYMENT SCHEDULING

Bill Payments begin processing two (2) Business Days prior to your Scheduled Payment Date. Therefore, the Service will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than two (2) Business Days from the current date. When scheduling Bill Payments, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Payee statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day; if the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates should be prior to any late date or grace period. In certain rare situations, a Bill Payment may take four (4) Business Days to be processed, in which case the Service will notify you within the website.

PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION AND PAYMENT REMITTANCE

By providing the Service with account information of the Payee to which you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the payment system. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Payee directives. When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Service to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You certify that any Payment Account you add to your profile is an account from which you are authorized to make payments, and any payment you make using the Service will debit/charge a Payment Account that you are legally authorized to use. You also authorize the Service to credit your Payment Account for payments returned to the Service by the United States Postal Service or Payee, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another user of the Service. The Service will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, the Service shall incur no liability and any Service Guarantee shall be void if the Service is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
1. If, through no fault of the Service, your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
2. The payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
3. If, through no fault of the Service, a Payee that makes available to you split-payment functionality (in which your payment may be split and allocated in various ways that such Payee may offer) does not split and/or allocate the payment in accordance with your Payment Instruction;
4. You have not provided the Service with the correct Payment Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Payee; and/or,
5. Circumstances beyond control of the Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a payee which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, the Service shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Payee any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.

Exclusions of Warranties.

The Service and related documentation are provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

Password and Security.

A Login ID and password are used to initiate transfers and payments through the Services. You authorize us to follow any instructions entered through the Service using your ID and password. Because your password can be used to access money in your accounts, you should treat the password with the same degree of care and secrecy that you use to protect cash and other sensitive personal financial data. You agree not to give Online Banking access to any unauthorized individuals. You acknowledge that said security procedures are commercially reasonable. You authorize and direct the Bank to transfer funds on the basis of the designated account numbers even if such number identifies a person or account you did not intend. If you believe that someone may attempt to use the Service without your consent or has transferred money without your permission, you must notify the Bank at once by calling us at (800)274-4482 during normal customer service hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm CST).

In the Event a Service Transaction is Returned.

In using the Service, you are requesting the system to make payments for you from your Transaction Account. If we are unable to complete the transaction for any reason associated with your Transaction Account (e.g., there are insufficient funds in your account to cover the transaction), the transaction may not be completed.

The Bank reserves the right to refuse to pay any person or entity to whom you may direct a payment.

Consumer Liability for Unauthorized Transfers.

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all of the money in your account (plus the maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within two business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Logon ID and Password without your permission.

If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed 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 taking the money if you had told us in time.
If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

Contact in Event of an Unauthorized Transfer. If you believe your Login ID and Password has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call (800)274-4482 or write: Bank of the Ozarks, Attn: Online Banking Department, P.O.
