(e)
It is the Seller’s intent that, after the Effective Time, all Deposit Liability transactions will be referred to Purchaser, provided, however, that if Seller shall, in good faith, honor and pay any Deposit Liabilities which are presented to Seller for due payment, Purchaser shall make a diligent effort to charge the applicable Deposit Liability account to which the payment related and, to the extent funds are available in such Deposit Liability account, Purchaser shall promptly disburse said moneys to Seller.

(k)
In case of any dispute with or inquiry by any customer whose account is subject to this Agreement, which dispute or inquiry relates to the servicing of such account by Seller prior to the date for which a deposit history has been provided to Purchaser, Seller will provide Purchaser, where available and to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser, information regarding the Deposit Liability account and copies of pertinent documents or instruments with respect to such dispute or inquiry so as to permit Purchaser to respond to the Deposit Liability account holder within a period of time and in a manner which would comply with standard banking practices and customs. Purchaser shall not be liable for any claims related thereto pertaining to the period prior to the Effective Time.
(l)
Seller shall deliver on the Closing Date to Purchaser a schedule of stop payment orders that have been placed by Seller on particular Deposit Liabilities or on individual checks, drafts or other items or instruments.
