Upholding your Agreement
You agree to the terms of this Agreement, and promise to do everything required of you. If you sign or submit an application or solicitation to obtain credit

purpose.
If the Account is a joint Account, you and the joint Account holder will be bound by this Agreement. Each of you will be jointly and individually responsible for
repaying all amounts due. If more than one person is responsible for this Account, we will only provide billing statements and communications to one of you.
Any authorized user of your Account will be bound by the terms of this Agreement. One additional Card may be issued with the individual name of an
authorized user embossed on the Card. If you want to revoke the use of your Account by an authorized user, either write us at the address, or call us at the

You agree to pay for all transactions made on your Account by an authorized user, whether or not such transactions were authorized by you or made for your
benefit.
Card signature (as applicable)
For your own protection, please sign your Card before using it. Keep in mind that your signature on the Card isn't a prerequisite to your obligation to pay amounts
incurred on your Account.
Using your Account
Your Account may be used to make purchases from anywhere Visa is accepted.
We reserve the right to not honor transactions related to, including, but not limited to, gambling, ATM usage at casinos, and illegal activities.
You may obtain a loan from us under your Account by using your Card or a convenience check as follows: by purchasing goods or services with your Card
or your Account number; by obtaining a cash advance from a financial institution, by use of an automated teller machine (ATM); by using a convenience
check; or, by incurring charges authorized by this Agreement.
From time to time, in our sole discretion, we may send you convenience checks for use in borrowing under this Agreement. All convenience checks you use
will be treated as cash advances under this Agreement, and subject to the terms and fees that apply to cash advances, unless we advise you otherwise.
You agree that convenience checks that you use will not be returned to you.
You may not use the convenience checks to make payments on any Comenity Capital Bank Account.
You agree not to use a convenience check, and we do not have to pay any convenience check:
if you are in default under this Agreement;
if payment of that convenience check would cause your outstanding cash advance balance to exceed your cash advance limit; or
if we cancel or suspend your right to use convenience checks
From time to time, in our sole discretion, we may offer you the ability to transfer account balances from other credit card accounts you may have to the
Account. We may, in our sole discretion, offer promotional plans for such balance transfers.
You may use the Card to obtain cash advances through certain ATMs. You will need to call us at 1-855-617-8084 (Good Sam Rewards Visa Signature) or 1-

You may use your Account for "Quasi-Cash" transactions which are the purchase of items that are convertible to cash or using the Account for similar cash-
like transactions, such as the purchase of money orders, traveler's checks, Visa TravelMoney Cards, or to initiate wire transfers or gaming transactions (if
permitted by us). Quasi-Cash transactions are cash advances and will be subject to a Cash Advance Fee as explained below.
If you make a purchase or obtain a cash advance in a foreign currency, it will be converted by Visa into U.S. dollars in accordance with Visa Operating
Regulations in effect at the time the transaction is processed.
The currency conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or the posting date.
The currency conversion rate used may be the same as, greater than, or less than the amount that would be calculated by conversion through a financial
institution in the country in which the purchase or cash advance occurred.
Making payments

C. Learning more about your account
Credit Plans
Your Account may consist of a non-promotional ("Regular Revolving") Credit Plan and one or more promotional Credit Plans. Credit Plans offered and their
particular features (including but not limited to minimum purchase requirements and minimum payment) may vary occasionally at our discretion and include
one or more Regular Revolving or promotional Credit Plans.
We may offer different promotional Credit Plans from time to time.
If a promotional Credit Plan is offered at the time you open your Account, this Agreement will include information about the terms for the Plan, by use of an
insert, attachment, or other written information provided as part of this Agreement.
Normal late fees, returned payment fees and all other provisions apply to any promotional Credit Plan, unless inconsistent with a particular Credit Plan
offering.
If the promotional Credit Plan purchase isn't paid in full before the promotional period ends, the balance will be transferred to your Regular Revolving balance.
Promotional Credit Plans may include:
Waive Interest, Payment Required
Waive Interest, Equal Payment
Waive Interest, Low Payment
Defer Interest, Equal Payment
Defer Interest, Payment Required
Defer Interest, Low Payment
Low APR, Equal Payment
Budget Payment
Skip-payment option
At our discretion, we may allow you to skip making the Minimum Payment.
Interest Charges will be assessed during the skip-payment period, but a late fee won't be imposed. This will not be considered a waiver of any of the rights
granted by this Agreement.
All other terms of your Account apply during the skip-payment period.
Visa Credit limit
Your Credit Limit is the total maximum amount we permit you to owe us at any time.
You may not exceed any Credit Limit that we set for your Account.
If you do exceed your Credit Limit, we can still charge you for all transactions, interest and other charges without giving up any of our rights under this
Agreement.
We may change your Credit Limit at any time.
Account cancellation
You may cancel your Account. You're still obligated to pay the full amount you owe us.
We may cancel your Account at any time, for any reason.
We may refuse to authorize any transaction on your Account. We may also suspend your Account and your right to use your Card, including each Card you
give to others.
We may stop offering any Credit Plan at any time, for any reason.
Cancellation or suspension of your Account doesn't negate your obligation to pay any amount you owe us.
Cancellation of your Account includes each Card you give to others.
Cards are issued with an expiration date. We have the right not to renew your Account.
Minimum Payment
You can pay all of your Account balance at any time without penalty.
You must pay at least the Total Minimum Payment for each billing period by the Payment Due Date shown on your Statement.
The Minimum Payment is the total of the minimum payments for the Regular Revolving and promotional Credit Plans plus any Past Due amounts.
The Total Minimum Payment won't be less than $30.00. If your Account balance is less than $30.00, you must pay the amount indicated on your Statement
in full.
The minimum payment for each Credit Plan is calculated as follows:
The minimum payment for the Waive Interest, Payment Required and Defer Interest, Payment Required Credit Plans will be the greater of:
(a) $5.00 or
(b) 1% (rounded up to the nearest $1.00) of the New Balance shown on your Statement for that Credit Plan.
The minimum payment for the Waive Interest, Equal Payment and Defer Interest, Equal Payment Credit Plans will be the amount of the purchase divided
by the number of months between the date of the purchase and the promotional period end date (minimum $5.00) rounded up to the nearest $1.00.
The minimum payment for the Low APR, Equal Payment Credit Plan will be the amount of the purchase including the calculated interest charges that
will be assessed from the date of purchase through the end of the promotional period divided by the number of months between the date of the purchase
and the promotional period end date (minimum $5.00) rounded up to the nearest $1.00.
The minimum payment for the Waive Interest, Low Payment and Defer Interest, Low Payment Credit Plans will be the greater of:
(a) $5.00 or
(b) 1.0% (rounded up to the nearest $1.00) of the New Balance shown on your Statement for that Credit Plan.
For each Budget Payment Credit Plan or Open Charge Budget Payment Credit Plan, fixed monthly payments of $49, $99, $149, $199, or $299, based
on the transaction amount.
For Open Charge credit plans (except Open Charge Budget Payment Credit Plans), if your balance increases during the Open Charge period, your
minimum payment will increase. The minimum payment for each Open Charge plan will be calculated based on the above Credit Plans.
Payment application
We reserve the right to apply payments equal to or less than the Total Minimum Payment however we see fit, which may result in balances subject to lower
interest rates being paid prior to other balances. This may also result in higher interest charges.
Any payment you make in excess of the required Total Minimum Payment will be allocated to your Account as required by applicable law.
Excess payments received before a deferred interest promotion expires are applied to the deferred interest promotional balance first in the last two billing
periods of the promotional period.
D. Interest, fees and charges
Interest charges
Interest charges begin on a transaction, fee or interest from the day added to the daily balance and continue until the balance is paid in full.
There is a Grace Period on Regular Revolving Credit Plan purchases. This means we will not charge interest on such purchases if you pay in full each billing
period.
We will not charge interest on any portion of a payment allocated to the Regular Revolving Credit Plan that is paid within an applicable Grace Period.
There is no period during which you can pay back a cash advance, any other transaction treated as a cash advance under this Agreement, or a balance
transfer to avoid incurring an interest charge.
If you make a purchase under any Waive Interest Credit Plan, we won't charge interest on the purchase if you pay the total purchase amount before the end
of the promotional period. If you don't pay the total purchase amount before the end of the promotional period, we'll add the remaining amount to your Regular
Revolving balance. We'll also begin charging interest on the purchase from the first day after the promotional period ends.
If
you make a purchase under any Defer Interest Promotional Credit Plan and don't pay the total amount before the end of the promotional period, we'll add
the remaining purchase amount and the amount of accrued interest to your Regular Revolving balance.
If you make a purchase under a Low APR, Equal Payment Credit Plan, interest will be assessed from the date of purchase through the end of the promotional
period.
How we calculate Interest Charges on your Account
We calculate interest separately for each Credit Plan, using a "Daily Balance" to determine interest charges for each billing period. Our calculation method is as
follows:
We start with the beginning balance on your Account each day (including unpaid interest charges and fees).
We subtract any payments or credit adjustments (treating any net credit balance as a zero balance) and add new transactions and debit adjustments posted
as of that day. This gives us the "Partial Daily Balance" for the day.
We then multiply the Partial Daily Balance for the day by the Daily Periodic Rate. This gives us the "Daily Interest Charge" for the day, which we add to the
day's Partial Daily Balance.
We've now determined the "Daily Balance," which will be the beginning balance for the following day. This results in daily compounding of interest charges.
At the end of each billing period, we add together each Credit Plan's Daily Interest Charge and make other adjustments, which gives us the total interest
charge.
Your Statement will show a Balance Subject to Interest Rate, which is the sum of the Daily Balances for each day in the billing period divided by the total
number of days.
Rates
To calculate a variable rate, for each billing period, we use an Index. The Index is the U.S. Prime Rate published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall
Street Journal on the last business day of the calendar month preceding the month in which the billing period begins. (Our business days are Monday through
Friday, excluding holidays.)
Any variable APR will increase on the first day of the billing period after the Index increases.
An increase or decrease in the APR will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of interest and may increase the Total Minimum
Payment.
Introductory Annual Percentage Rate
If your account has a special introductory rate, it will apply to all purchases made during the promotional period.
Once the promotional period ends, or if you make a late payment, your standard variable Annual Percentage Rate will apply to any remaining balance.
Other fees and charges
You agree to pay the following fees and charges:
Late Fee: If you don't pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date, we will charge you a late fee.
The fee is $27.00 if you were not charged a late fee during any of the prior six billing periods.
Otherwise, the fee is $38.00.
This fee will not exceed the amount permitted by applicable law.
Returned Payment Fee: We may charge you a fee for each payment that your bank doesn't honor for any reason.
The fee is $27.00 if you were not charged a returned payment fee during any of the prior six billing periods.
Otherwise, the fee is $38.00.
This fee will not exceed the amount permitted by applicable law.
Although we may decide to do so, we aren't required to attempt to collect a payment more than once.
Document Fees: If we provide you with a copy of any Statement, sales draft or similar document at your request (except in connection with billing error
inquiries or resolution), we may charge the Account the following fee(s), subject to any limitations of applicable law:
Statement copy $6.00
Sales/Credit Draft copy - $6.00
Check/Money Order copy $6.00
Alternative Payment Method Fee: We may offer alternative payment methods that allow you to make individual, expedited payments to your Account over
the phone. If you choose to use this payment method, we may assess the current fee we charge for this service, subject to any limitations of applicable law.
Currently, that fee is up to $15.00 but may change. We'll let you know the current fee before you authorize any payment(s), and you can withdraw your
request if you don't want to pay the fee.
Cash Advance Fee: For any cash advance other than a convenience check or balance transfer, you will pay a transaction fee equal to the greater of $10 or
5% of the amount of the cash advance. You take a cash advance if you use a convenience check; get money through an ATM; get money through a financial
institution; or obtain Quasi-Cash.
Convenience Check Fee: For any convenience check written against your Account, you will pay a transaction fee equal to the greater of $10 or 5% of the
amount of the convenience check.
Balance Transfer Fee: For any balance transfer from another account, you will pay a transaction fee equal to the greater of $10 or 3% of the amount of the
balance transfer.
Foreign Transaction Fee: For any charge or cash advance outside the United States or in a foreign currency, you will pay a transaction fee equal to 3% of
the U.S. dollar amount of the transaction. If a charge or cash advance is converted into U.S. dollars our network providers (Visa, Mastercard, and Discover)
will select either (1) a rate from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from
the rate the network provider itself receives, or (2) a government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date.
Return Convenience Check Fee: For each convenience check written against your Account which fails to clear and is returned unsatisfied, you will pay a
fee of up to $35.
Stop Payment Fee: For each convenience check written against your Account on which you request us to stop payment, you will pay a fee of up to $35,
regardless of whether we actually stop payment on the convenience check.
E. Other important information

When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
1.
Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error.
2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct.
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.
While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement
of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe.
If
you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot
report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent,
and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.
If
we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the
merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than
$50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods
or services.)
2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account
do not qualify.
3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at:
Comenity Capital Bank
PO Box 182620, Columbus, Ohio 43218-2620
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point,
if
we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.
G. Optional products
Credit insurance (as applicable)
Purchasing credit insurance is optional. If you do choose to carry credit insurance coverage, the premium charge will be added to your Account as a purchase on
the last day of each billing period. You can cancel your coverage at any time.
Account Assure Pro Debt Cancellation (as applicable)
Purchasing Account Assure Pro is optional.
Enrolling in Account Assure Pro does not affect the terms of your existing credit agreement.
The Account Assure Pro fee is based on your monthly statement balance, which is your balance on the last day of each billing period.
You will receive terms and conditions, which you should carefully read for all benefit details and exclusions.
You may cancel Account Assure Pro at any time.
If you are currently unemployed, disabled, hospitalized or retired you are not eligible for Account Assure Pro benefits for your present situation; however, you
may be eligible for other benefits based on future events.

I. Arbitration and jury trial waiver
For Covered Borrowers under the Military Lending Act (MLA)
The MLA prohibits us from requiring you to submit to arbitration as a condition of extending credit. For additional information see Section J below.
A. Jury trial waiver
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF A LAWSUIT ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL NOT AFFECT THE ARBITRATION PROVISION BELOW (INCLUDING THE JURY
TRIAL WAIVER CONTAINED THEREIN). YOU AND WE EACH REPRESENT THAT THIS WAIVER IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY.
B. Notice and cure
Prior to bringing a lawsuit or initiating an arbitration that asserts a claim arising out of or related to this Agreement (as further defined below, a "Claim"), the party
asserting the Claim (the "Claimant") shall give the other party (the "Defendant") written notice of the Claim (a "Claim Notice") and a reasonable opportunity, not
less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim. Any Claim Notice to you shall be sent in writing to the address we have in our records (or any updated address you
subsequently provide to us). Any Claim Notice to us shall be sent by mail to Comenity Capital Bank, PO Box 182436, Columbus, Ohio 43218-2436 (or any updated
address we subsequently provide). Any Claim Notice you send must provide your name, address and Account number. Any Claim Notice must explain the nature
of the Claim and the relief that is demanded. You may only submit a Claim Notice on your own behalf and not on behalf of any other party. No third party, other
than a lawyer you have personally retained, may submit a Claim Notice on your behalf. The Claimant must reasonably cooperate in providing any information
about the Claim that the other party reasonably requests.
C. Arbitration provision
READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT REJECT THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH PARAGRAPH
C.1. BELOW, IT WILL BE PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON THE WAY YOU OR WE WILL RESOLVE ANY
CLAIM WHICH YOU OR WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
1. Your Right to Reject: If you don't want this Arbitration Provision (and any prior arbitration agreement between you and us ("Prior Arbitration
Agreement")) to apply, you may reject it by mailing us a written rejection notice which gives the name of each Cardholder and contains a statement
that you (both of you, if more than one) reject the Arbitration Provision of this Agreement. The rejection notice must be sent to us at Comenity Capital
Bank, PO Box 182422, Columbus, Ohio 43218-2422. A rejection notice is only effective if it is signed by you (all of you, if more than one) and if we
receive it within thirty (30) calendar days after the date we first provide you with a credit card agreement or written notice providing you a right to reject
this Arbitration Provision. Your rejection of this Arbitration Provision will not affect any other provision of this Agreement or your ability to obtain
credit.
2. Parties Subject to Arbitration: Solely as used in this Arbitration Provision (and not elsewhere in this Agreement), the terms "we," "us" and "our" mean (a)
Comenity Capital Bank, any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank and the employees, officers and directors of such companies (the "Bank Parties"); and (b)
any other person or company that provides any services in connection with this Agreement if you assert a Claim against such other person or company at the
same time you assert a Claim against any Bank Party.
3.
Covered Claims: "Claim" means any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us that in any way arises from or relates to this Agreement, the Account,
the issuance of any Card, any rewards program, any prior agreement or account. "Claim" includes disputes arising from actions or omissions prior to the date any
Card was issued to you, including the advertising related to, application for or approval of the Account. "Claim" has the broadest possible meaning, and includes
initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims. It includes disputes based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional torts,
constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity (including any claim for injunctive or declaratory relief). "Claim" does not include disputes about
the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the prohibition against class proceedings,
private attorney general proceedings and/or multiple party proceedings described in Paragraph C.7 (the "Class Action Waiver"), the last sentence of Paragraph
C.13 and/or this sentence); all such disputes are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any dispute or argument that concerns the validity or
enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.
4. Starting an Arbitration: Arbitration may be elected by any party with respect to any Claim, even if that party has already initiated a lawsuit with respect to a
different Claim. Arbitration is started by giving a written demand for arbitration to the other party. We will not demand to arbitrate an individual Claim that you bring
against us in small claims court or your state's equivalent court, if any. But if that Claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, we then have the
right to demand arbitration.
5. Choosing the Administrator: "Administrator" means the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), 120 Broadway, 21st Floor, New York, NY 10271,
www.adr.org; JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com; or any other company selected by mutual agreement of the parties.
If both AAA and JAMS cannot or will not serve and the parties are unable to select an Administrator by mutual consent, the Administrator will be selected by a
court. The arbitrator will be appointed by the Administrator in accordance with the rules of the Administrator. However, the arbitrator must be a retired or former
judge or a lawyer with at least 10 years of experience. You get to select the Administrator if you give us written notice of your selection with your notice that you
are electing to arbitrate any Claim or within 20 days after we give you notice that we are electing to arbitrate any Claim (or, if you dispute our right to require
arbitration of the Claim, within 20 days after that dispute is finally resolved). If you do not select the Administrator on time, we may do it. Notwithstanding any
language in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, no arbitration may be administered, without the consent of all parties to the arbitration, by any Administrator
that has in place a formal or informal policy that is inconsistent with the Class Action Waiver.
6. Court and Jury Trials Prohibited; Other Limitations on Legal Rights: IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE
RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY DECIDE THE CLAIM. ALSO, YOUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM US IS
MORE LIMITED IN AN ARBITRATION THAN IN A LAWSUIT. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO NOT BE
AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
7. Prohibition Against Certain Proceedings: IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM: (1) NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY PARTICIPATE
IN
A
CLASS ACTION IN COURT OR IN CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR CLASS MEMBER; (2) NEITHER YOU NOR
WE MAY ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION; (3) CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST YOU MAY NOT BE
JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ANY OTHER PERSON; AND (4) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO POWER
OR AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT A CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION OR MULTIPLE-PARTY ARBITRATION.
8. Location and Costs of Arbitration: Any arbitration hearing that you attend must take place at a location reasonably convenient to you. We will pay any and
all fees of the Administrator and/or the arbitrator if applicable law requires us to, if you prevail in the arbitration or if we must bear such fees in order for this
Arbitration Provision to be enforced. If you demand an arbitration, we will pay your reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees if you prevail or if we must bear such
fees in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. Also, we will bear any fees if applicable law requires us to.
9. Governing Law: This Arbitration Provision involves interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the "FAA"), and not
by
any state arbitration law. The arbitrator must apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and claims of
privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator may award any remedy provided by the substantive law that would apply if the action were pending in court (including,
without limitation, punitive damages, which shall be governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts). At the timely request of either party, the
arbitrator must provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the award.
10. Right to Discovery: In addition to the parties' rights to obtain discovery pursuant to the arbitration rules of the Administrator, either party may submit a written
request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery normally allowable under the arbitration rules of the Administrator. The arbitrator shall have discretion to
grant or deny that request.
11. Arbitration Result and Right of Appeal: Judgment upon the arbitrator's award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator's decision is
final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, if the amount of the Claim exceeds $50,000 or involves a request for injunctive or
declaratory relief that could foreseeably involve a cost or benefit to either party exceeding $50,000, any party can, within 30 days after the entry of the award by
the arbitrator, appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the Administrator. The panel shall reconsider anew any aspect of the initial award
requested by the appealing party. The decision of the panel shall be by majority vote. Reference in this Arbitration Provision to "the arbitrator" shall mean the
panel
if an appeal of the arbitrator's decision has been taken. The costs of such an appeal will be borne in accordance with Paragraph C.8. above.
12. Rules of Interpretation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive the repayment of all amounts owed under this Agreement, the closing of the Account, any
legal proceeding and any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Arbitration
Provision, on the one hand, and the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of this Agreement, on the other hand, this Arbitration Provision shall govern.
This Arbitration Provision replaces any Prior Arbitration Agreement.
13.
Severability: If any portion of this Arbitration Provision, other than the Class Action Waiver, is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall
nevertheless remain in force. If a determination is made that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, only this sentence of the Arbitration Agreement will remain
in force and the remaining provisions shall be null and void, provided that the determination concerning the Class Action Waiver shall be subject to appeal.
14. Special Payment: If (1) you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with Paragraph B above on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party); (2) we
refuse to provide you with the relief you request; and (3) an arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to such relief (or greater relief), the arbitrator
shall award you at least $5,100 (plus any fees and costs to which you are entitled).
J. Important Information for Covered Borrowers under the Military Lending Act
For New Accounts - Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer
credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36
percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: The costs associated with credit insurance premiums; fees for ancillary
products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than certain application fees for specified credit transactions or
accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account).
A "Covered Borrower" is a consumer who, based on the determination made in accordance with 32 CFR Part 232.5, is entitled to the Limitations on Terms
of Consumer Credit Extended to Service Members and Dependents under 32 C.F.R. Part 232. Your first statement will indicate whether you are a Covered
Borrower, based on a review of the Department of Defense's database and/or a report from a consumer-reporting agency. If you're a Covered Borrower, we
will notify you in writing no later than 60 days after the determination made in accordance with 32 CFR Part 232.5.
This Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with the Military Lending Act, including its restrictions on permissible loan terms and limitations on interest
and fees. If you are a Covered Borrower: (a) the Arbitration Provision and jury trial waiver shall not apply to you; (b) any interest or fees in excess of the
permitted limit shall be reduced by the amount necessary to satisfy that limit and any amounts collected in excess of the permitted limit shall be refunded by
crediting your Account or by making a direct payment to you; and (c) any other provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent with the Military Lending Act
shall not apply to you.
