Important Disclosure Regarding Deposit Insurance on Noninterest-bearing Transaction Accounts

On July 21, 2010, Federal law permanently raised the standard maximum deposit insurance amount to $250,000. The FDIC insurance coverage limit applies per depositor, per insured depository institution for each account ownership category.

NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE
FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS

All funds in a “noninterest-bearing transaction account” are insured in full by the Federal DepositInsurance Corporation from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.

The term “noninterest-bearing transaction account” includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (“IOLTAs”). It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, and money-market deposit accounts.For more information about temporary FDIC insurance coverage of transaction accounts, visit www.fdic.gov.
