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 Deposit Insurance 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 or contact us at (740) 373-9200.

NOTICE OF CHANGES

Per the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform & Consumer Protection Act of 2010, please be advised that effective July 21, 2011 at a minimum, the first $200 (rather than $100) of a check deposit will be available on the next business day after the day of deposit.
