CONSUMER DEPOSIT ACCOUNT TERMS AND CONDITIONS WELCOME TO M&T A GUIDE TO THE TERMS OF YOUR PERSONAL DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS On November 1, 2015, Hudson City Savings Bank ( HCSB ) merged into and became part of M&T Bank ( M&T ). As a result, your Hudson City deposit accounts became M&T accounts. Soon, we will be transferring those accounts and any accounts opened at our Hudson City division * onto M&T s computer systems. We sometimes refer to the date on which this transfer takes place as the conversion date. The exact conversion date is set forth in the cover letter accompanying this booklet. This booklet includes information about the names and features of your Hudson City deposit accounts after the conversion. Please note that provisions that apply only to new customers or only to newly opened accounts will not apply to converted accounts. The features and terms of your deposit accounts as described in this booklet do not necessarily reflect the standard features and terms of M&T deposit accounts. This means that any deposit account that you may open with M&T before, on, or after the conversion date may have features and terms that are different from those that will apply to your converted Hudson City deposit accounts. If you have questions, we re here to assist you. Just call us at 1-800-414-9435 Monday-Friday, 6:00 a.m. 9:00 p.m. ET Saturday-Sunday, 9:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m. ET Or visit us any time at www.mtb.com *The Hudson City division refers to the former HCSB locations, which were acquired by M&T in the merger. We also refer to the accounts opened at HCSB before the merger and the accounts opened through our Hudson City division after the merger collectively as Hudson City accounts or Hudson City deposit accounts and we use the term Hudson City to refer to the processing and systems for those accounts prior to the conversion. THE GENERAL DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT AND RETIREMENT ACCOUNT AGREEMENTS IN THIS BOOKLET (BEGINNING ON PAGES 25, 42, 46, 50 AND 53) EACH INCLUDE AN ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THE SECTION ENTITLED DISPUTES INVOLVING YOUR ACCOUNT.

SECTION I Personal Deposit Accounts PERSONAL CHECKING ACCOUNTS: Here are answers to some questions you may have about your personal checking account after the conversion. Q. What will happen to my checking account on the conversion date? A. Your checking account will be automatically moved onto M&T systems. Q. What type of account will I have after the conversion? A. We reviewed the terms of each type of Hudson City account and selected an M&T account that we believe is similar. The results are shown in the chart on the next page. Your Hudson City account will automatically become the type of account indicated in the chart, but we would be happy to discuss account options with you after the conversion. Simply stop by any branch or call us. Q. Is there information that I should know about interest-bearing checking accounts at M&T? A. Yes. Here are some important facts about interest-bearing checking accounts at M&T. Please be sure to read this entire booklet for complete information. As was true at Hudson City, interest rates on checking accounts are variable, may change daily, are not tied to any index, and are set by us at our discretion. The interest rate and annual percentage yield have not been determined yet. Please call 1-800-724-2440 after conversion to find out the interest rate and annual percentage yield applicable to your account. Minimum balance to earn interest is $1, and is a collected balance that must be maintained as of the end of any day to earn interest for that day. Interest rates are tiered, meaning that different interest rates may apply to different balances. The ranges of the tiers may be different from the interest rate tiers at Hudson City (see the applicable Specific Features and Terms for your account type set forth later in this booklet). From time to time, the interest rates payable for different balance tiers may be the same. If your balance falls within a particular tier, M&T will pay the interest rate corresponding to that tier on the entire balance available to earn interest in your account. Interest is calculated using the daily balance method, under which we apply 1/365 of the interest rate for that day to the balance available to earn interest as of the end of that day. Interest begins to accrue on noncash items (e.g., checks) deposited into your account on the business day we receive credit for the item. Interest rates paid on checking accounts will be based on M&T s rates or, if an account paid a promotional rate for a designated period of time, this rate will continue until the expiration of that period. Q. Will my transactions in my account be posted in the same way they are today? A. No. M&T will post transactions in your account after conversion in a different order than Hudson City did. Please see the Notice Regarding Insufficient Funds, Overdrafts and Order of Payment of Debit Items later in this booklet for more information. Q. What will happen if I do not have enough available funds in my M&T account to cover transactions I initiate? A. Certain processes relating to insufficient funds and overdrafts work differently at M&T than at Hudson City. In its discretion, M&T may pay transactions you make from your account even though you do not have enough available funds in the account to cover them. Generally, unless an exception applies, an overdraft fee will apply if we pay a transaction when you do not have enough available funds in your account to cover it. We also charge an insufficient funds fee if you attempt to make an ACH or check transaction that exceeds your available balance and we decline to pay that transaction. Note that M&T determines whether you have enough money to cover a transaction based upon your available balance as determined under our Availability Disclosure for Consumer Deposit Accounts (set forth later in this booklet). This means that funds you have deposited but which have not yet been made available for withdrawal are not included when we determine whether you have sufficient funds to pay for a transaction. For more information on how we process transactions, NSF and overdraft fees, and exceptions, please see the Notice Regarding Insufficient Funds, Overdrafts and Order of Payment of Debit Items, What You Need to Know about Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees and the General Deposit Account Agreement later in this booklet. Q. Will the insufficient funds (NSF) and overdraft fees and practices for checking accounts at M&T after conversion be the same as they were at Hudson City? A. No. M&T s NSF and overdraft fees and practices differ in some ways from those at Hudson City. NSF: M&T charges a $38.50 NSF fee if you do not have enough available funds in your checking account to pay for a check or ACH transaction and we return the check or ACH transaction unpaid unless (a) the amount of the check or ACH is less than $5, or (b) your account has already been charged a total of 5 NSF and overdraft fees for items processed for payment on that business day. Overdraft: M&T charges a $38.50 overdraft fee if we decide to pay a transaction when you do not have enough available funds in your checking account to pay that transaction unless one of the following exceptions applies: (a) the amount of the transaction is less than $5; (b) your account has already been charged a total of 5 NSF and overdraft fees for items processed for payment on that business day; (c) money is paid under the terms of an overdraft protection arrangement (e.g., linked line of credit), or (d) the overdraft results from an ATM or one-time debit card transaction from your checking account and you have not elected to allow us to authorize and pay these types of transactions when you do not have sufficient funds to pay for them (see the What You Need to Know about Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees later in this booklet). Extended Overdraft Fee: M&T also charges a $38.50 extended overdraft fee if your account becomes overdrawn and remains overdrawn for five consecutive business days. For more information about these fees, please see the Notice Regarding Insufficient Funds, Overdrafts and Order of Payment of Debit Items, What You Need to Know about Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees, General Deposit Account Agreement and information on Fees later in this booklet. Q. If I have overdraft protection for my checking account at Hudson City, will it continue after conversion? A. If your Hudson City checking account is linked to a Hudson City line of credit for overdraft protection, these accounts will continue to be linked for purposes of overdraft protection. Q. What are Custom Add-ons? A. M&T offers Custom Add-ons to its checking account customers. Custom Addons are optional features and services that a checking account customer may choose to use. Generally, a monthly subscription fee will apply for each Custom Add-on selected; however, certain M&T checking accounts include a certain number of Custom Add-ons for no monthly subscription fee. The following chart indicates whether your new M&T account includes any complementary Custom Add-ons. Please see the Consumer Checking Account Custom Add- On Features beginning on page 24 of this booklet for more information. Q. What documents will govern my checking account after the conversion? A. After the conversion, the governing documents of your account will include the following documents: General Deposit Account Agreement (beginning on page 25 of this booklet) Notice Regarding Insufficient Funds, Overdrafts and Order of Payment of Debit Items (beginning on page 19 of this booklet) What You Need to Know about Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees (on page 22 of this booklet) Availability Disclosure for Consumer Deposit Accounts (on page 23 of this booklet) Specific Features and Terms for the specific type of account you will have at M&T (beginning on page 5 of this booklet) Additional Fees for Consumer Checking Accounts (see page 15 of this booklet) Fees for Special Services (see page 15 of this booklet) Electronic Banking Card and Telephone Transaction Disclosure and Agreement (beginning on page 16 of this booklet) These documents will apply to your account as though you had signed a deposit account opening document for that account. IMPORTANT: Many of the terms of these documents differ from the terms of the documents that govern your Hudson City account today. These differences may be important to you, so we encourage you to review all of the information in this booklet carefully and to contact us with any questions. CHECKING These Q&As are provided as a convenience and summarize certain important information, but they do not include all information. Please be sure to review the full text of the disclosures and agreements in this booklet for complete information and contact us with any questions. 3 R

SAVINGS AND MONEY MARKET PERSONAL SAVINGS AND MONEY MARKET ACCOUNTS: Here are answers to some questions you may have about your personal savings and money market accounts after the conversion. Q. What will happen to my Hudson City savings or money market account on the conversion date? A. Your savings or money market account at Hudson City will be moved onto M&T systems. Q. What type of savings or money market account will I have after the conversion? A. We reviewed the terms of each type of Hudson City account and selected an M&T account that we believe is similar. The results are shown in the chart on the next page. Your Hudson City account will automatically become the type of account indicated in the chart, but we would be happy to discuss account options with you after the conversion. Simply stop by any branch or call us. Q. Will I receive statements for my savings and money market accounts? A. After conversion, M&T will send statements for all of your savings and money market accounts, even if you had a passbook for the account at Hudson City. We will generally send these quarterly, or monthly if you request that we combine these statements with your checking account statement or you have an electronic funds transfer during a month. However, if you received statements for your Hudson City savings or money market account monthly, we will continue to send statements for these accounts on approximately the same schedule. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PASSBOOK CUSTOMERS: If you have a passbook, you will no longer need to bring it to a branch to be updated and it will no longer be an official record of your account. Statements will be provided to you. Q. Is there information that I should know about interest-bearing savings and money market accounts at M&T? A. Yes. Here are some important facts about interest-bearing savings and money market accounts at M&T. Please be sure to read this entire booklet for complete information. As was true at Hudson City, interest rates on savings and money market accounts are variable, may change daily, are not tied to any index, and are set by us at our discretion. The interest rate and annual percentage yield have not been determined yet. Please call 1-800-724-2440 after conversion to find out the interest rate and annual percentage yield applicable to your account. Minimum balance to earn interest is $1, and is a collected balance that must be maintained as of the end of any day to earn interest for that day. Interest rates are tiered, meaning that different interest rates may apply to different balances. The ranges of the tiers may be different from the interest rate tiers at Hudson City (see the applicable Specific Features and Terms for your account type set forth later in this booklet). From time to time, the interest rates payable for different balance tiers may be the same. If your balance falls within a particular tier, M&T will pay the interest rate corresponding to that tier on the entire balance available to earn interest in your account. Interest is calculated using the daily balance method, under which we apply 1/365 of the interest rate for that day to the balance available to earn interest as of the end of that day. Interest begins to accrue on noncash items (e.g., checks) deposited into your account on the business day we receive credit for the item. Interest rates paid on savings and money market accounts will be based on M&T s rates or, if an account paid a promotional rate for a designated period of time, this rate will continue until the expiration of that period. Q. What transaction limits apply to savings and money market accounts? A. During any calendar month, a total of no more than 6 withdrawals and transfers can be made to another account with us or to a third party by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer or telephonic (including data transmission) agreement, order or instruction (including Internet, online banking and other computer transactions), or by check, draft, debit card or similar order payable to a third party. Relationship Savings accounts are not intended to be accessed by check. If you exceed the number of transactions permitted by law, we reserve the right to close the account. Q. Will my transactions in my account be posted in the same way they are today? A. No. M&T will post transactions in your account after conversion in a different order than Hudson City did. Please see the Notice Regarding Insufficient Funds, Overdrafts and Order of Payment of Debit Items later in this booklet for more information. Q. Will the insufficient funds (NSF) and overdraft fees and practices for savings and money market accounts at M&T after conversion be the same as they were at Hudson City? A. No. M&T s NSF and overdraft fees and practices differ in some ways from those at Hudson City. NSF: M&T charges a $38.50 NSF fee if you do not have enough available funds in your savings or money market account to pay for a check or ACH transaction and we return the check or ACH transaction unpaid unless (a) the amount of the check or ACH is less than $5, or (b) your account has already been charged a total of 5 NSF and overdraft fees for items processed for payment on that business day. Overdraft: M&T charges a $38.50 overdraft fee if we decide to pay a transaction when you do not have enough available funds in your savings or money market account to pay that transaction unless one of the following exceptions applies: (a) the amount of the transaction is less than $5; (b) your account has already been charged a total of 5 NSF and overdraft fees for items processed for payment on that business day; or (c) the overdraft results from an ATM or one-time debit card transaction from your savings or money market account. For more information about these fees, please see the Notice Regarding Insufficient Funds, Overdrafts and Order of Payment of Debit Items, General Deposit Account Agreement and information on Fees later in this booklet. Q. What documents will govern my savings or money market account after the conversion? A. After the conversion, the governing documents of your account will include the following documents: General Deposit Account Agreement (beginning on page 25 of this booklet) Notice Regarding Insufficient Funds, Overdrafts and Order of Payment of Debit Items (beginning on page 19 of this booklet) Availability Disclosure for Consumer Deposit Accounts (on page 23 of this booklet) Specific Features and Terms for the specific type of account you will have at M&T (beginning on page 9 of this booklet) Additional Fees for Consumer Savings Accounts (see page 15 of this booklet) Fees for Special Services (see page 15 of this booklet) Electronic Banking Card and Telephone Transaction Disclosure and Agreement (beginning on page 16 of this booklet) These documents will apply to your account as though you had signed a deposit account opening document for that account.

SPECIFIC FEATURES AND TERMS (Consumer Savings and Money Market Accounts) MYCHOICE MONEY MARKET KIND OF ACCOUNT Interest-bearing Statement Savings Account with optional checkwriting MINIMUM OPENING DEPOSIT None ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS TO RECEIVE PREMIUM INTEREST RATE On the day your MyChoice Money Market account is opened, and on the last day of each monthly interest payment cycle, we will determine whether your account will receive the Regular Interest Rate or the Premium Interest Rate (both of which may change daily) during the upcoming monthly interest payment cycle. To qualify for the Premium Interest Rate, you must (1) have a MyChoice Premium Checking, Power Checking or Portfolio Management Account, and (2) have made 3 or more qualifying customer-initiated transactions in that checking account during that account s most recently completed monthly service charge cycle. Qualifying customer-initiated transactions include deposits, withdrawals, M&T Online Bill Pay transactions, automatic payments, debit card purchases and payments, and direct deposits. Transfers and payments to other accounts at M&T Bank (including loans and lines of credit) are excluded. Reversals of transactions will be netted against the qualifying transactions. Transactions cannot be aggregated across multiple checking accounts for purposes of meeting this requirement. (Note: If your MyChoice Premium Checking or Portfolio Management Account has been open for less than one monthly service charge cycle on any day we determine the applicable interest rate, your MyChoice Money Market account will receive the Premium Interest Rate during the upcoming monthly interest payment cycle.) RATE INFORMATION Interest rate may change daily, is not tied to any index and is set at our discretion. Annual percentage yield* may change daily. Interest for any day will be paid on the entire balance available to earn interest on that day at the interest rate and annual percentage yield corresponding to the highest of the following interest rate tiers applicable to your account on that day: At least $1 but less than $2,500 At least $2,500 but less than $10,000 At least $10,000 but less than $25,000 At least $25,000 but less than $50,000 At least $50,000 but less than $100,000 At least $100,000 but less than $150,000 At least $150,000 but less than $250,000 At least $250,000 but less than $500,000 At least $500,000 but less than $1,000,000 At least $1,000,000 *The annual percentage yield is a hypothetical rate that assumes that the interest rate will not change although in fact it may change daily.
