Balance Transfers accrue interest from the date of transaction without a grace period;� Purchases: You can purchase goods or services from any merchant that accepts your Card.

116750-1 19-2758_BHB_Cardholder_Agreement_Ev9.pdf  .7 Credit Cards68. INTEREST We will calculate interest on your Account each cycle by multiplying a daily periodic rate by the balance subject to the interest rate of your Account (�Interest�) as described in paragraphs 9 and 10 below. We will charge a minimum Interest charge in the amount shown on the Supplement in any billing cycle that you owe Interest.9. PERIODIC RATES We will use one or more periodic rates to determine how much Interest you owe. The periodic rate is the annual percentage rate (�APR�) divided by 365. The Supplement shows the periodic rates and APRs that apply to your�Account.A. Purchase Rate. The rate for Purchases (�Purchase Rate�) will be the rate shown on the Supplement.B. Cash Advance Rate. The rate for Cash Advances (�Cash Advance Rate�) will be the rate shown on the�Supplement.C. Balance Transfer Rate. The rate for Balance Transfers (�Balance Transfer Rate�) will be the rate shown on the�Supplement.D. Variable Rates. The applicable rate for each billing cycle will be an index rate (�Index Rate�) plus a percentage we select�(�Margin�).Different Margins may apply to different transactions. For example, we may give you one Margin for Purchases (�Margin for Purchases�). We may give you a different Margin for Cash Advances (�Margin for Cash Advances�) and for Balance Transfers (�Margin for Balance Transfers�). We will print the Margins for your Account on the�Supplement.The Index Rate is the Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal
� on the last publication day of the month just before each Statement date. If there is no published Prime Rate, we may pick a similar rate. We will tell you what rate we pick.If the Index Rate changes, your variable rate may change. For example, variable rates may increase if the Index Rate increases. Any increase or decrease in a variable annual percentage rate due to a change in the U.S. Prime Rate takes effect as of the first day of the following billing period. If a variable rate changes, the new rate will apply to new (January 9, 2020 / 08:52:29)
116750-1 19-2758_BHB_Cardholder_Agreement_Ev9.pdf  .8 BMO Harris Bank Consumer Cardholder Agreement7transactions and existing balances. If any variable rate increases, the amount of Interest and the Minimum Payment Due may increase.10. BALANCE SUBJECT TO INTEREST RATE The balance subject to Interest is the average daily balance of your Account. We calculate the average daily balance on your Account in three categories: (1)�Purchases, (2) Cash Advances, and (3) Balance Transfers. To get the average daily balance for each category, we take the beginning balance of your Account for that category each day. We then add any new transactions in that category, which may include fees and Interest. We then subtract any new payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance for each category. We then add up all the daily balances for each category for the billing cycle. We then divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the Average Daily Balance for Purchases, the Average Daily Balance for Cash Advances, and the Average Daily Balance for Balance Transfers.11. WHEN INTEREST BEGINS You will have at least a 21-day grace period (�Grace Period�) on some transactions. This means you have at least 21 days from the Closing Date on your Statement (�Statement Closing Date�) to pay for new Purchases before we charge Interest on them. The Grace Period applies only if you had no balance left over from the past billing cycle. This could happen two ways. You could have had no New Balance (or a credit balance) on the Statement for the past cycle. Or, you could have paid the New Balance for the past cycle in full by the Payment Due Date. When the Grace Period does not apply, Interest on Purchases begins on the transaction�date.The Grace Period does not apply to Cash Advances or Balance Transfers. Interest on Cash Advances and Balance Transfers begins on the transaction date of your Cash Advance or Balance Transfer. If you take advantage of an offer with an Introductory or Promotional APR, we will charge you Interest on new Purchases, unless your  new Purchases have a 0% APR, or you pay your Account balance, including any Balance Transfers, Cash Advances and Promotional Balances, in full each month by your payment due date.(January 9, 2020 / 08:52:29)

FEES All of the fees we charge except the fees for Balance Transfers, Cash Advances, and Convenience Checks will be treated as Purchases in the billing cycle in which the fee is assessed. We will assess fees associated with Balance Transfers, Cash Advances, and Convenience Checks in the same category as each of those transactions.A. Fees shown on Supplement. We may charge the following fees. If a fee applies to your Account, we will print the amount of the fee on the Supplement. We may change or supplement these fees from time to time, and if we do, we will provide you with notice of any such�change.1.

A Balance Transfer Fee for each Balance Transfer; andc. A Foreign Transaction Fee for any transaction you make outside the United States (except Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands).3. Penalty Feesa. A Late Payment Fee if we do not receive at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date. The Late Payment Fee that applies to your Account is the amount  printed on the Supplement or the Minimum Payment Due when the payment was late, whichever is less; andb. A Returned Payment Fee if the payment you make is returned for any reason. The Returned Payment Fee that applies to your Account is the amount printed on the Supplement or the Minimum Payment Due when the payment was late, whichever is less if the payment you make is returned for any reason.B.

A Convenience Check Fee will apply to the use of Convenience Checks.2. A Stop Payment Fee if you request to stop payment on a Convenience Check.3. A Returned Payment Fee if a Convenience Check is returned for non-payment for any reason.13. YOUR PAYMENTSA. Minimum payment. Each billing cycle you must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date. We calculate the largest of the following and then add the greater of any amount that is past due or any amount in excess of your credit�limit:� The New Balance on the billing statement if it is less than�$25;� $25 if the New Balance is at least $25;� 2% of the New Balance (which calculation is rounded down to the nearest dollar); or� 1% of your Net New Balance plus any new Interest charges and any new Penalty Fees. We round that number down to the nearest dollar. Net New Balance is your New Balance less any new Interest charges and any new Penalty Fees.(January 9, 2020 / 08:52:29)
116750-1 19-2758_BHB_Cardholder_Agreement_Ev9.pdf  .11 Credit Cards10 However, the Minimum Payment Due will never exceed your New Balance. You may at any time pay more than the Minimum Payment Due up to the full unpaid balance without any extra�charge.B. How to make payments. Make your payment by check, money order or similar instrument in U.S. dollars. If you write a check, the check must be from a financial institution in the United States. Do not send us cash. You may not use a Convenience Check drawn on an Account issued by us to pay us (see paragraph 14 below). Mail your payment to the address on your Statement or deliver it in person to a Qualifying Branch (see paragraph 13.D below). With your payment, include your payment coupon, which is a part of your Statement. If you do not include your payment coupon, we may delay crediting the payment to your Account. A Late Payment Fee and additional Interest may be charged if crediting is delayed. Other payment options may be available. Please call us at the �Contact Us� number provided on your Statement or refer to your Statement for instructions. We won�t treat credits made on your Account, including credits from merchants or some credits made by person- to-person money transfers, as payments, and such credits may not be applied towards reducing your Minimum Payment Due. You cannot use gift cards, gift certificates, electronic certificates or similar instruments purchased by you or anyone else with a BMO Harris Bank credit card to make a payment on your Account.C. When we credit payments and how we apply payments. If�we receive your payment by mail by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on any business day, we will credit the payment to your Account as of that day. Otherwise, we will credit the payment on the next business day. If you make a payment at any location other than the address on your Statement or a Qualifying Branch (see paragraph 13.D below), we may delay crediting that payment. We may use payments up to the required Minimum Payment Due to pay down the balances of your Account in any order we decide. This may include paying balances subject to lower rates of Interest before balances subject to higher rates. For any payment amount over the Minimum Payment Due we will allocate such amounts to pay balances subject to higher (January 9, 2020 / 08:52:30)
116750-1 19-2758_BHB_Cardholder_Agreement_Ev9.pdf  .12 BMO Harris Bank Consumer Cardholder Agreement11rates of Interest before paying balances subject to lower rates. If your payment is returned as unacceptable for any reason, we may post a transaction to your Account in an amount equal to the credit we previously gave for the payment, and we may charge a Penalty Fee and Interest on this amount from the date your Account originally was credited for the payment. You may also lose any Promotional or Introductory Rates subject to paragraph 22�below.D. In-Branch payments. If you have a BMO Harris-branded card, you may deliver your payment during normal business hours to a Customer Service Representative at any bank branch identified by the BMO Harris name, brand or logo (�Qualifying Branch�). We will credit such payments on the day we receive them.E. Disputed payments. You agree not to send us disputed payments. By disputed payment, we mean a payment of less than the amount due marked �paid in full,� �without recourse� or similar language. If you send a disputed payment, we may take it without losing any of our rights. If you want to tell us about a disputed payment, you can send a letter and/or disputed payment to the address listed in paragraph 1 above and not the address on your Statement. You may also call us at the �Contact Us� number provided on your Statement.14. GETTING CASH ADVANCES You can get a Cash Advance by taking your Card to a financial institution and asking for cash (see paragraph 6 above). You also can get a Cash Advance in one of the following ways:� Convenience Checks: We may send you Convenience Checks (or Promotional Checks) from time to time. You can use a Convenience Check like a personal check, and it will be subject to the terms provided with the Convenience Checks, in addition to the terms of this Agreement. We may charge a Convenience Check to your Account at the time we receive it, even if it (1) is post-dated, (2) is stale or (3) will cause you to go over your Credit Limit or Cash Limit. (By �post-dated,� we mean the date of the check is in the future. By �stale,� we mean a bank is not required to pay the check because the date of the check is too far in the past.) You can ask us to stop payment on a Convenience Check by calling or writing us at the (January 9, 2020 / 08:52:30)

You can request a PIN by calling the customer service number on the back of your Card or the �Contact Us� number on your Statement. Any terms, conditions or limitations of the ATM network you use will apply to ATM Cash Advances. We may limit the number or amount of ATM Cash Advances you can get in one day. We may stop you from getting ATM Cash Advances if we reasonably believe there is unusual activity on your Account. We also may stop you from getting ATM Cash Advances if you are in default under this Agreement (see paragraph 18.B�below).� Overdraft Protection Advances: If you have a checking or demand deposit account (�DDA�) with us now or in the future and you have enrolled in an available overdraft protection program, we may offer you an automatic Cash Advance to transfer money from your Account to your DDA. The automatic Cash Advance feature of our overdraft protection program may not be available on all Accounts. The amount of the Cash Advance will be the amount of the overdraft rounded up to the nearest $100, not to exceed your Cash Limit. By overdraft, we mean the total amount by which checks, payments, charges and other items properly chargeable to your DDA exceeds the balance of your DDA. You must be enrolled in the overdraft protection program at the time of the overdraft. The terms and conditions of the overdraft protection program also apply to this type of Cash Advance. We will give you those terms and conditions when you enroll in the program.� Quasi-Cash Transactions: Purchases of items that you can trade right away for cash (�Quasi-Cash Transactions�) will be Cash Advances instead of Purchases. Quasi-Cash Transactions include, but are not limited to, purchases of casino gaming chips, money orders, deposits, wire transfer money orders, travelers checks, foreign currency and similar items.(January 9, 2020 / 08:52:30)

The conversion rate may be different from the published rate in effect on the day that you made the transaction or that we posted the transaction to your Account.16. AUTHORIZATION OF TRANSACTIONS We do not promise to authorize every transaction you request. We may limit the number or amount of transactions we authorize on your Account in any one day. We may refuse to authorize any illegal transaction. We may refuse to authorize any transaction that would cause you to go over your Credit Limit or Cash Limit or any other limit we impose on your Account. We may refuse to authorize transactions if your Account is closed or in default (see paragraph 18 below). We will not pay for any harm these actions may cause you, except as required by applicable law. In addition, we will not owe you anything if a merchant or financial institution does not let you make  a transaction on your Account. We also will not owe you anything if there is a problem with goods or services you purchase using your Account, except as explained in Your Billing Rights below.17.

We have accepted this Agreement in Illinois.For Maryland residents only, to the extent federal law and the laws of the state of Illinois do not apply, this Agreement is governed by Title 12, Subtitle 9 of the Maryland Commercial Law Article.27. ARBITRATION PROVISIONEither you or we can ask the other to resolve a Claim by binding arbitration. By �Claim,� we mean any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) at any time arising from or relating to your Account or this Agreement. We intend the term Claim to have the broadest possible meaning. Claim includes, by way of example and without limitation:(January 9, 2020 / 08:52:30)
116750-1 19-2758_BHB_Cardholder_Agreement_Ev9.pdf  .20 BMO Harris Bank Consumer Cardholder Agreement19� Claims arising from your Application for or issuance, use, terms, change in terms or addition of terms, closing or collection of your Account or this Agreement;� Claims arising from advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements related to your Account, including any Claims regarding information we got from you or we reported to you, credit reporting agencies or others;� Claims related to the goods or insurance or other services purchased under your Account;� Claims between you and our parent corporations, wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, independent contractors, employees, officers, directors or representatives arising from your Account or this Agreement; and� Claims regarding the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Provision or this entire Agreement.However, the term Claim does not include any Claim relating to the validity and effect of any class action, consolidation and/or joinder�waiver.Arbitration is different from a lawsuit in many ways. If you or we ask for arbitration of a Claim, neither you nor we could get a court or jury to decide the Claim. There may be limits on the amount of information you and we could get from each other before the arbitration. You could not be part of a class of people with similar complaints after you or we ask for arbitration. Except as explained below, the arbitrator�s decision will be final and binding. Other rights available to you in court may not be available in arbitration.The American Arbitration Association (�AAA�) or JAMS will conduct any arbitration between you and us. The rules for arbitrations will be those of either AAA or JAMS (�Rules�) in effect when you or we file the Claim. If something in the Rules is different from something in this Arbitration Provision, we will follow this Arbitration Provision. You can get the Rules and other forms by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, visiting the AAA�s website at www.adr.org or writing to the AAA at 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10019, or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267, visiting the JAMS website at www.jamsadr.com or writing to JAMS at 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Irvine, VA 92614. If for any reason either the AAA or JAMS cannot, will not or ceases to be an arbitration administrator, we will pick another administrator with similar rules. If you want to (January 9, 2020 / 08:52:30)
116750-1 19-2758_BHB_Cardholder_Agreement_Ev9.pdf  .21 Credit Cards20arbitrate a claim, send us notice at the address listed in paragraph 1 above. Then contact either the AAA or JAMS to find out how to file a Claim. If needed, we will meet for an arbitration hearing in the federal judicial district where you live or some other place we all agree is convenient. Arbitration fees can be more expensive than court fees. After you have paid arbitration fees equal to the fee to file an action in your local state or federal court, you can ask us in writing for help. We will advance up to $325 toward the filing, administrative and/or hearing fees for any Claim you file against us. At the end of the arbitration, the arbitrator will decide who should pay the arbitration fees. You may have to pay us back some or all of the money we advanced. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, each party has  to pay for its own attorneys� , experts� and witness fees, no matter who wins the arbitration.No Claim can be arbitrated on a class action basis. An arbitration can decide only your or our Claims. You cannot have a joint arbitration with any parties other than persons who use your Account. You also cannot bring together any Claims other than those relating to you and persons who use your Account. A court with proper jurisdiction and not an arbitrator will determine whether this provision prohibiting class actions, joinder and/or consolidation is valid and�effective.This Arbitration Provision relates to a transaction involving interstate commerce. It will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (�FAA�), as amended, even if different laws apply to other parts of this Agreement. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA. The arbitrator will apply applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator also will honor claims of privilege recognized at law. Whoever wins the arbitration can get a judgment on the arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction. Judgments include, for example, garnishment, attachment, foreclosure or other post- judgment remedies.The arbitrator�s decision generally will be final and binding. If there is a right of appeal under the FAA, however, any party can appeal the award. A group of three arbitrators from either AAA or JAMS will hear the appeal. The group will review all over again any part of the initial award that the party who appeals requests. The party who appeals must pay for the appeal no matter what happens at the end.(January 9, 2020 / 08:52:30)
116750-1 19-2758_BHB_Cardholder_Agreement_Ev9.pdf  .22 BMO Harris Bank Consumer Cardholder Agreement21This Arbitration Provision will apply even after you repay your Account and after your Account is closed. If a court decides that any part of this Arbitration Provision is invalid or unenforceable under the FAA, the other parts still apply. However, if a court decides that the part prohibiting class actions, consolidation and/or joinder is invalid or unenforceable, then this Arbitration Provision will not apply.You can opt out of this Arbitration Provision if you write to us within 30 days after we open your Account. Send a letter that says you do not agree to the Arbitration Provision. The letter must include your name, address and Account number. Mail the letter to BMO Harris Bank N.A., Arbitration Opt-out, P .O. Box 6101, Carol Stream, IL 60197-6101. This is the only way you can opt out of the Arbitration Provision. If you opt out of the Arbitration Provision, all other parts of the Agreement still apply to your Account.28. TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT You cannot give or sell your rights or duties under this Agreement, your Account or your Card to any other person or company. We may give or sell our rights or duties under this Agreement, your Account or your Account balance to any other person or company, with or without telling you�first.29. NO WAIVER BY US; SEVERABILITY We may delay enforcing or give up any of our rights under this Agreement in certain situations. If we delay enforcing or give up any of our rights, this does not affect our other rights. If we give up a right in one situation, we do not give up the same right in other situations. If a court with proper jurisdiction decides that any part of this Agreement is unenforceable, all the other parts of this Agreement still�apply.30. ENTIRE AGREEMENTThe Cardholder Documents are the entire agreement between you and us relating to your Account. The Cardholder Documents replace any other agreement relating to your Account that you and we made earlier or at the same time. If any of the other Cardholder Documents has any information that is not the same as information in this Agreement, we will follow this Agreement unless the other document says we should follow that document.(January 9, 2020 / 08:52:30)

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 any 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 that 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.

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:BMO Harris Bank N.A. P .O. Box 6225 Carol Stream, IL 60197-6225.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.
