Your Cardmember Agreement with Us

This document is our standard form credit card agreement in effect on the last business day of the previous
calendar quarter that ended on 06/30/2019 and has been supplemented with pricing information included in
the document(s) titled “Pricing Supplement” and other terms and/or features that may vary between the
different types of credit card accounts that we offer as reflected in the “Addendum to the Cardmember
Agreement”. These documents are provided to you for informational purposes only.  These account terms
may not be available after the above date.  If you apply and are approved for a credit card account with us,
your actual account terms will be based on the terms of the offer available at the time that you applied and
your Cardmember Agreement will be the agreement sent to you when your account is first opened.

Introduction.
This Agreement establishes the terms of your credit card account (“Account”) with Barclays Bank Delaware,
Wilmington, Delaware. Please read it carefully and keep it with your records. You do not need to sign this Agreement,
but please sign the back of your credit card (the “Card”), if you have not already done so. All extensions of credit in
connection with your Account are being made by Barclays Bank Delaware.

Using Your Account/Acceptance of These Terms.
You do not need to accept the Account and this Agreement and none of the fees on this Account (except as otherwise
provided herein) will apply unless you use the Account.  If your Account has an Annual Fee (see the Account
Summary Table to determine if this Account has an Annual Fee) and provided that you have not otherwise used the
Account to make a Purchase, Balance Transfer or Cash Advance or paid the Annual Fee, you may close the Account
within thirty days after Account opening by contacting us at the number on the back of your Card, and if you do, you
will not be responsible for paying the Annual Fee.  By signing, keeping, using or otherwise accepting your Card or
Account, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You may obtain credit in the form of Purchases,
Balance Transfers and Cash Advances by using your Card, your account number, Checks, or other credit devices.
You agree that we may credit your Account rather than issue cash refunds when you reverse transactions that were
originally charged to your Account. You agree that you will not use your Card or Account in connection with any
transaction that is prohibited or unenforceable and that if you do engage in such a transaction you waive any claim
that the charge is uncollectible on the grounds the transaction was prohibited or unenforceable. The Card must be
returned to us upon request. We may replace your Card with another Card at anytime.

Obligations on Your Account.
You authorize us to pay and charge your Account for all Purchases, Balance Transfers, Checks, and Cash Advances
made or obtained by you or anyone you authorize to use your Card or Account. You agree to pay us for all of these
Purchases, Balance Transfers, Checks, and Cash Advances, plus any interest assessed on your Account and any
other charges and fees which you may owe under the terms of this Agreement, whether resulting from 1) physical use
of your Card or a Check, 2) mail order or telephone, computer or other electronic transaction made without presenting
the Card, or 3) any other circumstances where you authorize a charge, or authorize someone else to make a charge,
to your Account. Each person who has agreed to be responsible on the Account is responsible to pay the full amount
owed on the Account.  If this is a joint Account, we can send statements and notices to either of you.  We may require
that you pay the full amount owed without first asking any other person(s) to pay. Instructions for making payments are
on your monthly billing statement. Payments that comply with the requirements specified on or with your monthly
billing statement, including the time of receipt, will be credited as of the business day they are received. Payments
must be mailed to the correct P.O. Box or to the street address specified for U.S. Priority Mail and overnight payments.
There may be a delay of up to five (5) days in crediting payments that are not made in accordance with those
instructions. Please allow at least seven (7) days for the U.S. Postal Service to deliver your payment. All
payments must be made in U.S. dollars. Any payment made by check or other negotiable instrument or direct debit
must be drawn on a U.S. bank or a U.S. branch of a foreign bank. We reserve the right to accept payments made in a
foreign currency. If we do, we will select the foreign currency rate at our discretion. To ensure the funds from the
bank on which your payment is drawn are not returned, your available credit may not be immediately
increased by the amount of the payment for up to seven (7) days after the payment posts to the account. If you
overpay or if there is a credit balance on your Account, we will not pay interest on such amounts.

Military Lending Protections.
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). To receive this information and a description of your payment obligation orally, please call 866-540-
9074.

If you are covered by the Military Lending Act, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, to the
extent required by the Military Lending Act, nothing in this agreement will be deemed a waiver of the right to legal
recourse under any otherwise applicable provision of state or federal law.

Credit Line/Authorized Usage.
Your credit line is shown on the folder containing your Card. We may change your credit line from time to time—
either increase or decrease it—in our sole discretion. If at any time (including in the first month after your Account
is opened) you engage in account actions or activity that we perceive could have a negative impact on your credit
standing with us, we may decrease your credit line or close your Account. Your latest credit line will appear on your
monthly billing statement. You agree not to make a Purchase, authorize a Balance Transfer, use a Check, or
obtain a Cash Advance that would cause the unpaid balance of your Account to exceed your credit line. We
may honor Purchases, Balance Transfers, Checks and/or Cash Advances in excess of your credit line at our
sole discretion. If we do, this Agreement applies to that excess and you agree to pay the excess immediately
if we request that you do so. You agree that we may change or cancel your credit line at any time for any
reason without affecting your obligation to pay amounts that you owe under this Agreement.  We will notify you
of any change, but that change may take effect before you receive the notice. We may designate that only a portion of
your credit line is available for Cash Advances. If we do and you exceed your line, you will be considered to have
exceeded your credit line for all purposes of this Agreement. We may limit the authorizations to make
Purchase, Balance Transfer, Check, or Cash Advance transactions that may be accomplished with your Card

or Account.  If you are approved for an account that does not have a preset spending limit please see the
Addendum to the Cardmember Agreement addendum for additional information about your credit line and the
usage of your Account.

Checks on Your Account.
We may issue Checks on your Account in the form of “Balance Transfer Checks” or “Cash Advance Checks,” which
can be used to access your credit line.   Each Check will contain your Account number and may be used only by the
person(s) whose name(s) is/are printed on it.  Each must be completed and signed in the same manner as a regular
personal check. If we provide Checks to you, you may not use them to pay any amount you owe under this Agreement
or under any other account you may have with us. Balance Transfer Checks and Cash Advance Checks are subject to
the same rate and other terms under this Agreement as Balance Transfers and Cash Advances, respectively.  Unless
otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to Balance Transfers include Balance Transfer Checks, all
references to Cash Advances include Cash Advance Checks, and all references to use of the Account include use of
these Checks.  At our sole discretion we may elect to not honor a Check if there has been a change in your credit
worthiness, your account is not in good standing or if the Check may cause your account to exceed the Cash Advance
or other applicable credit line on your Account.  At our sole discretion we may elect to honor a Check after its
expiration date. Unlike purchase transactions, there are no charge back rights with regard to Balance Transfer
and Check transactions. 

Monthly Billing Statements.
At the end of each monthly billing cycle a statement will be mailed or delivered to you if your Account has a debit or
credit balance of more than $1.00 or if interest or a fee has been imposed. We will not send a monthly billing
statement if we deem your Account uncollectible or if delinquency collection proceedings have been instituted by us
sending your Account to an outside collection agency or attorney for collection.

Your Minimum Payment Each Month.
Each billing cycle, you must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due shown on your monthly statement by its Payment
Due Date.  We will calculate it as follows:   

(1)   If the Statement Balance is less than $25-$27, the Minimum Payment Due equals the Statement Balance shown
on your monthly statement.

(2)    If the Statement Balance is $25-$27 or more, the Minimum Payment Due equals the greater of $25-$27 or the
total of:

1% of the Principal Balance (defined below),
Any interest charges billed on the monthly statement (excluding any interest charges that
accrued on a deferred interest balance that ended during the billing cycle covered by the
statement),
Any Minimum Interest Charge,
Any Returned Payment Fee, and
Any Late Payment Fee.

The “Principal Balance” equals the Statement Balance on your monthly statement minus any interest charges,
Minimum Interest Charge, Returned Payment Fee, and Late Payment Fee that is incurred during the current billing
cycle.

If we so elect, your Minimum Payment Due may also include any amount that, at the time of billing, is past due and/or
over your credit line.  In certain instances your Minimum Payment Due may be less than the total fees and interest
assessed that billing cycle.  At any time you may pay more than the Minimum Payment Due up to the full amount you
owe us.  However, you cannot “pay ahead”.  This means that if you pay more than the required Minimum Payment
Due in any billing cycle or if you make more than one payment in a billing cycle, you will still need to pay the next
month’s required Minimum Payment Due by your next Payment Due Date.

Variable Rate Information

APR for Purchases: The variable rate equals the Prime Rate plus a margin from 10.74% to 23.49%, (this
corresponds to a current DPR of 0.0445% to 0.0794%) (this corresponds to a current MPR of 1.3533% to 2.4158% for
residents of Iowa at the time of account opening (if applicable)).

APR for Balance Transfers: The variable rate equals the Prime Rate plus a margin from 10.74% to 23.49%, (this
corresponds to a current DPR of 0.0445% to 0.0794%) (this corresponds to a current MPR of 1.3533% to 2.4158% for
residents of Iowa at the time of account opening (if applicable)).

https://www.barclaycardus.com/applycontent/banking/marketing/rangedcma/Barclaycard/Standard_Credit_Agreement.html

APR for Cash Advances: The variable rate equals the Prime Rate plus a margin from 21.99% to 23.99%, (this
corresponds to a current DPR of 0.0753% to 0.0808%) (this corresponds to a current MPR of 2.2908% to 2.4575% for
residents of Iowa at the time of account opening (if applicable)).

Variable Rate Information.
The following applies to any APR on your Account that varies with the market based on the Prime Rate.  The standard
Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) on our Account that are used to determine the amount of interest to be charged for
Purchases, Balance Transfers, and Cash Advances are variable rates. The APRs on your Account correspond to a
daily periodic rate (“DPR”) or a monthly periodic rate (“MPR”) which is applicable only to residents of Iowa at the time
of Account opening. The applicable DPRs/MPRs on your Account equal 1/365th (or 1/12th for residents of Iowa at the
time of Account opening) of the sum of 1) the applicable Prime Rate, 2) plus the margin(s) listed above for each
Purchase, Balance Transfer, or Cash Advance balance or the margin listed above if a Penalty APR applies. The
“Prime Rate” used in determining the APRs in each billing cycle will be the highest rate published in the Money Rates
column of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each month.  An increase or decrease in the Prime Rate
will cause a corresponding increase or decrease to your variable rates on the first day of the billing cycle that begins in
the same month in which the applicable Prime Rate is published. Any such increase or decrease will cause a
corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of interest assessed and possibly in the amount of the Minimum
Payment Due.  If The Wall Street Journal does not publish the U.S. Prime Rate, or if it changes the definition of the
U.S. Prime Rate, we may substitute another index. The Prime Rate was 5.50% as of the last business day of the
quarter that ended 06/30/2019.

Transaction Fees.
If you use your Card or Account to obtain a Cash Advance, we will charge a Cash Advance Fee for each such Cash
Advance. If you use your Card or Account to make a Balance Transfer, we will charge a Balance Transfer Fee for
each such Balance Transfer. If you use your Card or Account to purchase Cash Equivalents, we will charge a Cash
Advance Fee (sometimes we may refer to this as a Cash Equivalent Fee) for each such transaction. If you use your
Card or Account for a Foreign Transaction, we will charge a Foreign Transaction Fee for each such transaction.
Balance Transfer Checks and Cash Advance Checks are subject to the same Transaction Fee as Balance Transfers
and Cash Advances, respectively.  The present amounts of those charges are stated in the Account Summary Table.

Account Fees.   
In addition to the fees listed in the Account Summary Table, we may also assess the Account Fees listed below.  

Annual Fee  - If your account has an Annual Fee, generally it will be billed at account opening and every twelve
months thereafter. The amount of the Annual Fee, if there is one on your Account, is listed in the Account Summary
Table.

Late Payment Fee - If we do not receive a payment from you in at least the amount of your Minimum Payment Due
by the Payment Due Date shown on your monthly statement, we may charge you a Late Payment Fee.  The amount
of the Late Payment Fee will be determined in accordance with applicable law.  Thus, the fee generally will not exceed
the amount of the applicable Minimum Payment Due.  In addition, the first time you pay late, the fee will not exceed
$28.  If you again pay late within six billing cycles, the fee will not exceed $39.  

Late Payment Fee for Residents of Iowa at the Time of Account Opening -  If we do not receive a payment from
you in at least the amount of your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date shown on your monthly
statement, we may charge you a Late Payment Fee.  The amount of the Late Payment Fee will be determined in
accordance with applicable law.   Thus, the fee generally will be the amount of the applicable Minimum Payment Due
or $15, whichever is less.  

Returned Payment Fee -  If your bank does not honor a check or direct debit you deliver to us, or we must return a
check because it is not signed or is otherwise irregular, we may charge you a Returned Payment Fee. The amount of
the Returned Payment Fee will be determined in accordance with applicable law.  Thus, the fee generally will not
exceed the amount of the applicable Minimum Payment Due. In addition, the first time you make a payment that is
returned, the fee will not exceed $28. If you again make a payment that is returned within six billing cycles, the fee will
not exceed $39. 

Returned Payment Fee for Residents of Iowa at the Time of Account Opening -  If your bank does not honor a
check or direct debit you deliver to us, or we must return a check because it is not signed or is otherwise irregular, we
may charge you a Returned Payment Fee.  The amount of the Returned Payment Fee will be determined in
accordance with applicable law.  Thus, the fee generally will be the amount of the applicable Minimum Payment Due
or $15, whichever is less. 

Returned Check Fee  -  If we return a Convenience Check (which includes a Balance Transfer Check or a Cash
Advance Check) unpaid because it exceeds your available credit line at the time it is processed, your Account is
closed or otherwise does not have charge privileges, you did not comply with our instructions regarding the Check or
your Account is past due, we may charge you a Returned Check Fee.  The amount of the Returned Check Fee will be

determined in accordance with applicable law.  Thus, the fee generally will not exceed the amount of the returned
Convenience Check.  In addition, the first time a Convenience Check is returned, the fee will not exceed $28.  If you
again have a Convenience Check returned within six billing cycles, the fee will not exceed $39. 

Returned Check Fee for Residents of Iowa at the Time of Account Opening -  If we return a Convenience Check
(which includes a Balance Transfer Check or a Cash Advance Check) unpaid because it exceeds your available credit
line at the time it is processed, your Account is closed or otherwise does not have charging privileges, you did not
comply with our instructions regarding the check or your Account is past due, we may charge you a Returned Check
Fee.  The amount of the Returned Check Fee will be determined in accordance with applicable law.  Thus, the fee
generally will not exceed the amount of the returned Convenience Check or $20, whichever is less. 

Check Stop Payment Fee – If we stop payment on a Convenience Check at your request, we may charge you a
Check Stop Payment Fee of up to $39.95.

Check Stop Payment Fee for Residents of Iowa at the Time of Account Opening – If we stop payment on a
Convenience Check at your request, we may charge you a Check Stop Payment Fee of $29.

Foreign Currency Conversion.

For Mastercard Cards, we and Mastercard (or their affiliates) will convert transactions in foreign currencies into U.S.
Dollars. Mastercard will use their currency conversion procedures that are current at the time of the transaction.
Currently, Mastercard selects a rate from the range of rates available in the wholesale currency markets for the
applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Mastercard itself receives, or the government
mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The currency conversion rate used on the
conversion date may differ from the rate in effect on the date you used your Card or Account.

For Visa Cards, we and Visa (or their affiliates) will convert transactions in foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars. Visa
will use its currency conversion procedures that are current at the time of the transaction. Currently, Visa selects a rate
from the range of rates available in the wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which
rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or the government mandated rate in effect for the applicable central
processing date. The currency conversion rate used on the conversion date may differ from the rate in effect on the
date you used your Card or Account.

Authorized Users.
You may allow Authorized Users to use your Account. When you tell us to add an Authorized User to your account,
you are confirming that you have a relationship with the person or persons you’ve added, that all their information is
correct, and that you have their consent to add them. If you allow an Authorized User to use your Account, you will be
liable for all transactions made by that person including transactions for which you may not have intended to be liable,
even if the amount of those transactions causes your credit limit to be exceeded. You must notify us to revoke your
permission to allow an Authorized User to use your Account or Card. Until you revoke your permission, you are
responsible for all charges made by an Authorized User, including Balance Transfer Check and Cash Advance Check
transactions, regardless of whether you intended to be responsible for those charges. Authorized Users may remove
themselves from your Account upon request. We reserve the right to remove them from your Account for any reason.
If you request additional Cards for Authorized Users, checks accessing this Account may also be included with the
Card. Barclay’s provides account information to the credit reporting agencies for all account users. This information
could impact an authorized user’s credit score.

Administrative Charges.
If you request photocopies of monthly billing statements, you will be charged for each duplicate requested. For each
statement that is less than 25 months old, you will be charged $5. For each statement that is 25 or more months old,
you will be charged $10. If you request any special services such as obtaining Cards on an expedited basis, you
agree to pay our reasonable charges for such services, in effect at that time.

Default/Collection Costs.
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, your Account will be in default and we may demand immediate payment of the
entire amount you owe us if: 1) in any month we do not receive your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due
Date; 2) you make Purchases, initiate Balance Transfers, use a Check, or obtain Cash Advances in excess of your
credit line; 3) you fail to comply with this Agreement; 4) there is a filing for your bankruptcy; 5) you die or become
incapacitated; or 6) we believe in good faith that the payment or performance of your obligations under this Agreement
is impaired for any other reason. As permitted by applicable law, you agree to pay all collection expenses actually
incurred by us in the collection of amounts you owe under this Agreement (including court or arbitration costs and the
fees of any collection agency to which we refer your Account) and, in the event we refer your Account after your
default to an attorney who is not our regularly salaried employee, you agree to pay the reasonable fees of such
attorney. We will not be obligated to honor any attempted use of your Account if a default has occurred or we have
determined to terminate your Account or limit your Account privileges (as discussed below).

Termination/We May Suspend Or Close Your Account. 
We may suspend or close your account or otherwise terminate your right to use your account without prior
notice, even if you pay on time and your account is not in default. We may do this at any time and for any
reason, including but not limited to, if there is a change to your creditworthiness or if your Account becomes
inactive.  You must destroy all Cards, Checks or other credit devices on the Account when we request. You agree that
you will not try to make a Purchase, use a Check, initiate a Balance Transfer or obtain a Cash Advance after you have
been notified that your privilege to use your Account has been closed or revoked.  You may close your Account at any
time. If you do, you must destroy all Cards and Checks previously issued on the Account.  If you call us, we may
require that you confirm your termination in writing.  Your obligations under this Agreement continue even after the
Account is closed.

Notices to You.
Billing statements and notices will be sent to the address shown in our files. If this is a joint Account, we may send
billing statements and notices to either of you. You promise to promptly inform us of any change in your e-mail
address or your U.S. mail address. You may update this information by visiting the website on the back of your Card
and sending us an e-mail or telephoning us at the telephone number provided below on your Card. We may in our

Consent to Receive Electronic Notices.
You may receive periodic billing statements and other notices regarding your Account electronically or by U.S. mail. By
requesting statements and other notices electronically, which may only be done on our website, and by providing any
other legally required consents, you affirmatively consent to receive all periodic billing statements and other notices
electronically when legally permissible. Otherwise, statements and notices will be sent to the address shown in our
files. If at any time you need a paper copy of statements or notices, or you change your mind and prefer to receive all
your statements and notices in paper rather than electronic form, telephone us at the number provided on the back of
your card or visit us at the website on the back of your Card and send us an e-mail. In order to access your

have the software and equipment that satisfies these requirements to enable you to access and retain your
statements and notices electronically.

Skip Payment Program and Other Special Terms.
From time to time, we may let you skip or reduce one or more monthly payments during a year (interest will continue
to accrue) or offer you other special features. If we do, we will advise you of the scope and duration of the applicable
skip or special feature. When the skip or special feature ends, your regular terms will resume.

Changes To this Agreement. 
We can change this Agreement, including the annual percentage rate and any fees, as permitted by applicable
law. These changes may include the addition or deletion of provisions relating to your Account or to the
nature, extent, and enforcement of the rights and obligations you or we may have under this Agreement.  We
will notify you of any change.  Any change, including any increase or decrease in your APRs, will become
effective at the time stated in our notice and will apply to those balances, including new transactions, on your
Account as described in our notice.

Credit Performance.
Your Account was established based upon criteria which reflect your particular credit history. We will from time to time
review your credit performance. In addition to any other rights we have, if you do not maintain your past level of credit
performance, we may change some or all of the Account terms on your Account, and if we do we will notify you as
provided in this Agreement and in accordance with applicable law.

Credit Information.
You agree that we may request consumer credit reports from one or more credit reporting agencies in
connection with your application and the administration of your Account. You also authorize us to exchange
credit information concerning you or your Account with (and answer questions and requests from) others, such as
merchants, other lenders and credit reporting agencies. From time to time we may request employment and income
data from third parties for the ongoing administration of your Account.

Calls/Electronic Communications. 
In the regular course of our business, we may monitor and record phone conversations made or received by our
employees or our agents. Similarly, we may monitor and record e-mail or conversations on our website between you

conversations between you and our employees or agents, whether initiated by you or any of our employees or
agents.  We may contact you by telephone in connection with the Account, directly or through an agent – for example,

account-servicing purposes.  If at any time you provide a mobile telephone number at which you may be contacted,
you consent to receive calls (including autodialed calls and prerecorded messages) at that mobile number from us,
our successors and assigns, and our affiliates, agents and independent contractors, including servicers and collection
agents, regarding the Account or your related financial obligations. 

You consent and further agree that:

(1)   these telephone calls, from us or on our behalf, may be made:
        (a)   to the telephone number(s) that you provided on the Account application,
        (b)   to any other telephone number(s) that you later provide to us, and/or
        (c)   to any telephone number(s) that we are permitted by law to use to contact you; 
(2)  these calls may be sent using automatic dialing equipment and/or include prerecorded messages;
(3)   other communications, including mobile text messages, may be sent to the same telephone number(s)
(technology permitting);
(4)   you may be charged by your service provider for these calls in accordance with your service plan between you
and your current telephone provider;
(5)   these calls and/or messages are not “unsolicited” calls for purposes of applicable law; and
(6)   except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, other communications, including, but not limited to, fax or
telecopier, Internet, U.S. mail, and non-mobile email messages, may be sent to you.  

Refusal to Honor Card.
We are not responsible for refusals to honor your Card or Checks. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or
regulation, we will not be responsible for merchandise or services purchased or leased through use of your Account.

Irregular Payments and Delay in Enforcement.
We can accept late payments, partial payments, checks and money orders marked “Paid in Full” or language having
the same effect without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. We can also delay enforcing our rights under
this Agreement any number of times without losing them. The fact that we may at any time honor a Purchase, Check,
Balance Transfer or Cash Advance in excess of your maximum credit line does not obligate us to do so again.

Our Rights Continue.
Our failure or delay in exercising any of our rights under this Agreement does not mean that we are unable to exercise
those rights later.

Electronic Check Conversion.
If you make a payment on this Account utilizing a check, you authorize us either to use the information from your
check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your checking/deposit account or to process the payment as a
check transaction.  When we use information from your check to make an electronic fund transfer, funds may be
withdrawn from your bank account as soon as the same day you make your payment, and you will not receive your
check back from your financial institution. For inquiries, or to opt out of one-time electronic fund transfers, please call
the number listed on the back of your Card.

Payments That Are Returned on Your Account. 
If a payment you make is not honored by your bank and we have already credited your account for the payment, we
will reverse the credit in the following manner.  We separately total the amounts credited to Purchases, Cash
Advances, and Balance Transfers.  For each such amount we create a new transaction at the then current applicable
rate for Purchases, Cash Advances, and Balance Transfers, respectively, and add that transaction to your account as
of the date the original payment was first credited to your Account.

Payment Allocation.
Subject to any mandatory provisions of applicable law, in most instances, we will allocate any amount over
your minimum payment to the highest APR balances first. Payments up to the minimum payment will be
applied at our discretion, including to lower APR balances first.

Liability for Unauthorized Use of Your Account.
If your Card or any Check(s) are lost or stolen or if you have reason to think someone may use your Account without
your permission, you must notify us at once. Please either visit the website on the back of your Card and send us an
e-mail or telephone us at the number on the back of your Card concerning the loss or theft of your Card or Checks or
the possible unauthorized use of your Account. Do not use the Card, Account number or any Checks after they have
been reported lost or stolen, even if they are found or returned. You will not be liable for unauthorized use of the
Account; however, you must identify for us the charges that were not made by you or someone authorized by you and
through which you received no benefit. We may require you to provide us with certain information and to comply with
our investigation procedures. We may terminate or limit access to your Account if you have notified us or we have
determined that your Card or Checks may have been lost or stolen, or that there may be unauthorized access to your
Account.

ARBITRATION.
THIS ARBITRATION SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU IF YOU ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROTECTIONS OF
THE MILITARY LENDING ACT.

At the election of either you or us, any claim, dispute or controversy (“Claim”) by either you or us against the other,
arising from or relating in any way to this Agreement or your Account, or their establishment, or any transaction or
activity on your Account, including (without limitation) Claims based on contract, tort (including intentional torts), fraud,
agency, negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions or any other source of law and (except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement) Claims regarding the applicability of this arbitration provision or the validity of the entire
Agreement, shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration. For purposes of this provision, “you” includes yourself, any
authorized user on the Account, and any of your agents, beneficiaries or assigns, or anyone acting on behalf of the
foregoing, and “we” or “us” includes our employees, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, beneficiaries, agents and assigns,
and to the extent included in a proceeding in which Barclays is a party, its service providers and marketing partners.
Any Claims sought to be made or remedies sought to be obtained as part of any class action, private attorney general
or other representative action (hereafter all included in the term “class action”) shall be subject to arbitration, and
arbitrated on an individual basis between you and us, not on a class or representative or other collective basis.  The
arbitrator shall not have any authority to entertain a claim, or to award any relief, on behalf of or against anyone other
than a named party to the arbitration proceeding.  If any Claim is advanced in a court, arbitration may be elected
under this provision instead, and the right to elect arbitration shall not be deemed to have been waived if the election
is made at any time before commencement of trial.

Alternatively, you and we may pursue a Claim within the jurisdiction of the Justice of the Peace Court in Delaware, or
the equivalent court in your home jurisdiction, provided that the action remains in that court, is made on behalf of or
against you only and is not made part of a class action, private attorney general action or other representative or
collective action.

The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association, www.adr.org, 950 Warren Avenue, East
Providence, Rhode Island, 02914, 1-866-293-4053 (the “Administrator”). The Administrator provides information about
arbitration, its arbitration rules and procedures, fee schedule and claims forms at its web site or by mail as set forth
above. The Administrator will apply the rules and procedures in effect and applicable to the claim at the time the
arbitration is filed. The Claim will be heard before a single arbitrator.  The arbitration will not be consolidated with any
other arbitration proceedings. The Administrator shall resolve each dispute in accordance with applicable law.

If you commence arbitration, you must provide us the notice required by the Administrator’s rules and procedures. The
notice may be sent to us at Barclays Bank Delaware, P.O. Box 8801, Wilmington, DE 19899-8801. If we commence
arbitration, we will provide you notice at your last known billing address. We agree to honor a request by you to
remove the action to a Small Claims Court, provided that we receive the request within thirty days of the notice of
commencement of arbitration. Any arbitration hearing at which you appear will take place at a location within the
federal judicial district that includes your billing address at the time the Claim is filed.

This arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by
the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.  No class actions, joinder or consolidation of any Claim with a Claim of
any other person or entity shall be allowable in arbitration, without the written consent of both you and us.  In the event

that there is a dispute about whether limiting arbitration of the parties' dispute to non-class proceedings is enforceable
under applicable law, then that question shall be resolved by litigation in a court rather than by the arbitrator; and to
the extent it is determined that resolution of a Claim shall proceed on a class basis, it shall so proceed in a court of
competent jurisdiction rather than in arbitration.

A party can file with the Administrator a written appeal of a single arbitrator’s award within 30 days of award issuance,
requesting a new arbitration in front of three neutral arbitrators designated by the Administrator. The panel will
reconsider all factual and legal issues, following the same rules of procedure, and will make decisions based on
majority vote. Any final arbitration award will be binding on the named parties and enforceable by any court having
jurisdiction. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  

We will pay, or reimburse you for, all fees or costs to the extent required by law or the rules of the arbitration
Administrator.  Whether or not required by law or such rules, if you prevail at arbitration on any Claim against us, we
will reimburse you for any fees paid to the Administrator in connection with the arbitration proceedings.  Under no
circumstances will we seek from you payment or reimbursement of any fees that we incur in connection with
arbitration.   In addition, in any arbitration that you elect to file that could be heard in Small Claims Court in your
jurisdiction, we will pay the filing fees and other arbitration fees above the cost of filing in that Small Claims Court.  If
you are required to advance any fees or costs to the arbitration Administrator, but you ask us to do so in your stead,
we will consider and respond to your request.

This arbitration agreement applies to all Claims now in existence or that may arise in the future, and it survives the
termination of the Cardmember Agreement and the Account relationship, including your payment in full, and your filing
of bankruptcy. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent any party’s use of (or advancement of any
claims, defenses, or offsets in) bankruptcy or repossession, replevin, judicial foreclosure or any other prejudgment or
provisional remedy relating to any collateral, security or property interests for contractual debts now or hereafter owed
by either party to the other under this Agreement.

ARBITRATION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM IS BINDING AND NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT
TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM THROUGH A COURT. IN ARBITRATION YOU AND WE WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHTS
THAT ARE PROVIDED IN COURT INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY AND THE RIGHT
TO PARTICIPATE OR BE REPRESENTED IN PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY OTHERS SUCH AS CLASS
ACTIONS OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS. IN ADDITION, THE RIGHT TO DISCOVERY AND THE RIGHT TO
APPEAL ARE ALSO LIMITED OR ELIMINATED BY ARBITRATION. ALL OF THESE RIGHTS ARE WAIVED AND
ALL CLAIMS MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH ARBITRATION.
