| Dividends are
displayed on Tuesday of each week and are in effect until the following Monday. Dividends
are calculated by the Daily Balance Method at Fixed Rate, and paid or credited quarterly.
All certificates are automatically renewed unless we are notified by the member within the
10 day grace period. The early withdrawal penalty for 3 to 6 month certificates is 30
days dividends and 90 days dividends for 7 and 48 month certificates. Additions or
withdrawals from existing certificates are not allowed. Certificates are non-transferable
and non-negotiable.

Rate Information
The Annual Percentage Yield is a
percentage rate that reflects the total amount of dividends to be paid on an account based
on the dividend rate and frequency of compounding for an annual period. For all accounts,
the Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield are fixed and will be in effect for the term
of the account. The Annual Percentage Yield is based on an assumption that dividends will
remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal of dividends will reduce earnings.
Nature of
Dividends
Dividends are paid from
current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of
the dividend period.
Dividend
Compounding and Crediting
The compounding and
crediting of dividends applicable to each account is set forth in the Rate Schedule. The
dividend Period begins on the first calendar day of the Dividend Period and ends on the last calendar day of the
Dividend Period.
Balance Information
The minimum balance
requirements applicable to each account are set forth in the Rate Schedule. For all
accounts, dividends are calculated by the Daily Balance method which applies a daily
periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.
Accrual of
Dividends
For all accounts, dividends
will begin to accrue on noncash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the
deposit to your account. For all accounts, if you close your account before accrued
dividends are credited, accrued dividends will not be paid.
Transaction
Limitations
After your account is opened
you may not make additions to the account or withdrawals of principal from the account
until the maturity date stated. You may only withdraw dividends that have been credited.
At maturity the dividends will automatically be added to the principal or you may request
that they be paid to a regular share account.
Maturity
Your account will mature as
indicated on this Rate and Fee Schedule or on your Account Receipt or Renewal Notice.
Early Withdrawal Penalty
We may impose a penalty if
you withdraw any of the principal before the maturity date.
Amount of Penalty
For Share and IRA Share Certificate terms of 3 to 6 months, the amount of early withdrawal penalty is 30 days dividends. For Share and IRA Share Certificate terms of 7 to 48 months, the amount of early withdrawal penalty is 90 days dividends.
How the Penalty
Works
The penalty is calculated as
a forfeiture of part of the dividends that have been or would be earned on the account. It
applies whether or not the dividends have been earned. In other words, if the account has
not yet earned enough dividends or if the dividend has already been paid, the penalty will
be deducted from the principal.
Exceptions to
Early Withdrawal Penalties
At our option, we may pay the
account before maturity without imposing an early withdrawal penalty under the following
circumstances:
- When an account owner dies or is
determined legally incompetent by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction.
- Where the account is an Individual
Retirement Account (IRA) and any portion is paid within seven (7) days after
establishment; or where the account is a Keogh Plan (Keogh) provided that the depositor
forfeits an amount of at least equal to the simple dividends earned in the account
withdrawn; or where the account is an IRA or Keogh and the owner attains age 59 1/2 or
becomes disabled.
Renewal Policy
All accounts will
automatically renew for another term upon maturity. For all accounts, you have a grace
period of ten (10) days after maturity in which to withdraw funds without being charged an
early withdrawal penalty.
Nontransferable/Nonnegotiable Your account is nontransferable and nonnegotiable. The funds in your account may not
be pledged to secure any obligation of an owner, except obligations with the Credit Union.
The rates and fees appearing in this schedule are accurate and effective for accounts as
of the effective date indicated above. Rates for these accounts may change on a periodic
basis. If you have any questions or require current rate and fee information on your
accounts, please call us.
