Republic Bank & Trust Company - Cardholder Account Agreement

The following terms and conditions govern the use of your MASTERCARD® Personal ScoreCard
Account (“Account”) and any Card or other Access Device (“Access Device”) issued by Republic Bank
& Trust Company (“Issuer”).
1. RESPONSIBILITY. By signing or permitting others to sign the Card or credit application, or by using or
permitting others to use the Access Device or Account number, Customer named therein accepts these
terms and conditions and assumes responsibility for all credit extended through use of the Account,
except that Customer’s liability for unauthorized use will be limited as hereinafter provided. Any Access
Device remains the property of the Issuer and shall be surrendered upon Issuer’s request. The Account
and its privileges are not transferable by Customer and may be cancelled or revoked or the Credit Limit
may be reduced or frozen by Issuer at any time for any reason without notice subject to any legal
provisions or requirements under applicable law. Issuer has no responsibility for the refusal of any seller
to honor the Account, or for merchandise or services purchased through the use of the Account, other
than Billing Rights. Transactions restricted by the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006
(UIGEA) are prohibited from being processed through the Account. This prohibition became effective on
December 1, 2009. Additional information can be obtained at 1-866-292-0856.
2. UNAUTHORIZED USE, LOSS, OR THEFT. You must notify the Issuer of loss, theft or unauthorized
use of your MASTERCARD® Account by calling toll-free telephone number 1-866-292-0856, or in
writing to Customer Service, P.O. Box 30495, Tampa, FL 33630 Attention: Security Department. After
your notice of unauthorized use to us, your liability will not exceed $50. An Issuer may, to the extent
allowed under applicable law, increase the limit of the Customer’s liability for unauthorized
MASTERCARD® transactions only if the Issuer determines that the Customer was grossly negligent or
fraudulent in the handling of the Account or Card.
3. CREDIT LIMIT. Customer may use the Account to obtain credit for Purchases from authorized sellers,
Cash Advances, and Balance Transfers from any Bank Card lender. Purchases, Cash Advances, and
Balance Transfers shall also include charges approved by Issuer for Customer by means of other
device, check or program for credit transactions, including any INTEREST CHARGES that result in a
charge to the Account. Customer agrees not to incur charges to the Account which exceed the maximum
credit authorized by the Issuer. In the event the Customer incurs charges in amounts exceeding such
maximum authorized credit, the Customer shall pay immediately the amount by which the Total New
Balance exceeds such maximum authorized credit.
4. PAYMENTS. Customer agrees to pay, in accordance with billings, indebtedness incurred for
Purchases, Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, any applicable INTEREST CHARGE, the Annual Fee,
any Late Payment Fee, and any other fees imposed from time to time pursuant to these terms and
conditions, and in the event of Customer’s breach or default in the performance of these terms and
conditions, all additional costs and expenses incurred by Issuer resulting therefrom including reasonable
attorney fees. All payments by Customer shall be made in U.S dollars. Issuer may place a reasonable
hold on the crediting of check payments.
5. PERIODIC STATEMENT AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE. Issuer will send to Customer a statement for
each billing cycle in which the Total New Balance (debit or credit) for Purchases, Cash Advances, and
Balance Transfers, exceeds $1.00 on the last day of the billing cycle or in which an INTEREST
CHARGE has been imposed. Customer must pay at least the minimum payment due disclosed on the
statement which will be 2% of the Total New Balance disclosed on the statement, or $15.00 whichever Is
greater (or the portion of $15.00 that is necessary to pay the Total New Balance in full) plus all
indebtedness which exceeds the Credit Limit and all amounts listed as “Past Due” on the Account. The
minimum payment will be rounded up to the nearest whole dollar amount. Payments in excess of the
minimum payment amount or additional payments may be made at any time but shall not affect
Customer’s obligation to pay succeeding monthly payments so long as any amount is due and owing on
the Account. INTEREST CHARGES on the Purchases New Balance disclosed on any monthly
statement may be avoided by payment of either the Total New Balance or Purchases New Balance in
full on or before the Payment Due Date as disclosed on the monthly statement. If not so paid,
INTEREST CHARGES will be incurred on the principal portion of the Purchases New Balance as of the
Statement Closing Date as disclosed on the monthly statement, and INTEREST CHARGES will be
incurred on the New Purchases posted to the Account during the next billing cycle as of the date of
posting of each. INTEREST CHARGES are incurred on Cash Advances from the date the money is
advanced until payment in full is received.
6. SCHEDULE OF FEES.
(a) Reissue Fee. NONE
(b) Expedited Phone Payment. An Expedited Phone Payment Fee of $6.00 will be imposed if the
payment involves an expedited service by a service representative.
(c) Late Payment Fee. If a payment of at least the amount of the minimum required payment disclosed
on the periodic statement is not received by the Payment Due Date, a penalty fee of $27.00 will be
imposed.
(d) Returned Payment Fee. If any check or other instrument given for payment of the Account is
dishonored for any reason, a penalty fee of $27.00 will be imposed.
(e) Annual Fee. NONE
(f) Cash Advance Limit and Fee. Cash Advances are limited to the amount of the Credit Limit. An
INTEREST CHARGE will be computed on the amount of each Cash Advance as of the date of the
transaction. The INTEREST CHARGE will be either $3.00 or 3% of the Cash Advance, whichever is
greater. Any Cash Advance INTEREST CHARGE may increase the actual Annual Percentage Rate.
(g) International Transaction Fee. Transactions processed outside the United States will be charged
an International Transaction Fee of 3% of each transaction in United States dollars. See Section 17
below for further information.
(h) Balance Transfer Limit and Fee. A balance transfer fee (greater of $5.00 or 3% of the total
dollar amount transferred) will be applied to your Account when the requested transfer is processed. The
Fee, and the transfer transaction, will appear on your monthly Account Statement. Fees may increase
your Minimum Amount Due on your next monthly statement. See Section 8 for further information.
(i) Over the Limit Fee: NONE
(j) Rush Card Fee: $25.00
7. INTEREST CHARGE. The INTEREST CHARGE calculation method applicable to your Account for
Purchases, and Cash Advances that you obtain through the use of your Account or Card is the Average
Daily Balance (including new purchases) as specified on your monthly periodic statement and explained
below:

Purchases. To avoid incurring additional INTEREST CHARGE on the balance of purchases reflected on
your periodic statement and, on any new purchases appearing on your next periodic statement, you
must pay the New Balance in full shown on your monthly statement on or before the Payment Due Date.
The grace period for the New Balance of purchases extends to the Payment Due Date. We calculate the
INTEREST CHARGES for a billing cycle by applying the monthly Periodic Rate to the Average Daily
Balance of purchases. To get the Average Daily Balance, we take the beginning balance of your account
each day, add any new purchases and subtract any payments, credits, non-accruing fees, and unpaid
INTEREST CHARGES. This gives us the daily balance. Then we add all the daily balances for the billing
cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the average daily
balance.
Cash Advances. The INTEREST CHARGE on Cash Advances begins from the date the Cash Advance
is posted to your account. There is no grace period. We calculate the INTEREST CHARGES for a billing
cycle by applying the monthly Periodic Rate to the Average Daily Balance of your account. To get the
Average Daily Balance, we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new cash
advances, and subtract any payments, credits, non-accruing fees, and unpaid INTEREST CHARGES.
This gives us the daily balance. Then we add all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the
total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the average daily balance.
Balance Transfer. The INTEREST CHARGE on Balance Transfers begins from the date the Balance
Transfer is posted to your account. There is no grace period. We calculate the INTEREST CHARGES
for a billing cycle by applying the monthly Periodic Rate to the Average Daily Balance of your account. To
get the Average Daily Balance, we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new
cash advances, and subtract any payments, credits, non-accruing fees, and unpaid INTEREST
CHARGES. This gives us the daily balance. Then we add all the daily balances for the billing cycle and
divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the average daily balance.
Minimum Interest Charge. We will charge a minimum INTEREST CHARGE for purchases of $.50, a
minimum INTEREST CHARGE for Cash Advances of $3.00, and a minimum INTEREST CHARGE for
Balance Transfers of $5.00 for each billing period in which an INTEREST CHARGE is payable. The
INTEREST CHARGE will be added to your purchase balance, Cash Advance balance, or Balance
Transfer.
8. BALANCE TRANSFER. Requests will be processed in the order in which you list them. The minimum
transferable amount is $100.00 per transfer. Up to three (3) balance transfers may be requested at one
time. If a balance transfer request is more than your Available Credit Limit we will automatically lower the
balance transfer amount to your Available Credit Limit and complete the transfer. Until your balance
transfer(s) is posted, you may need to continue making payments to your other accounts to keep them
current. Balance transfers are not subject to a grace period, and may take 1 to 2 weeks to process.
Balance transfers can be used to pay off non-credit card obligations; however, balance transfers cannot
be used to pay off other Issuer obligations. Balance Transfers are limited to the amount of the Credit
Limit. An INTEREST CHARGE will be computed on the amount of each Balance Transfer as of the date
of the transaction. Upon request for balance transfer cardholder will be required to complete and sign
balance transfer form.
9. SCORECARD REWARDS. Customer will earn 1 point for each dollar on net purchase (purchase
minus any credits or returns) only. No points are earned for finance charges, fees, cash advances, ATM
withdrawals, foreign transaction currency conversion charges and convenience checks used to access
your Account. Your account must be open and in good standing (i.e., not cancelled, delinquent,
terminated, over the limit, or otherwise not available for your use as a payment method) at the time your
order is received for processing. Issuer reserves the right to suspend your participation in the Program
until the Account is in good standing. The Reward points will be applied to the earned months
statement. Points have no cash value. Points cannot be exchanged for cash or credit; used with any
other offer, promotion or discount; combined with cash to obtain any Awards; or earn from or transferred
to any other credit card, account or rewards program, unless otherwise specified. Points will expire 48
months from the time they are earned.
10. ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE. The INTEREST CHARGE on Purchases, Cash Advances, and
Balance Transfers will be computed by applying a monthly periodic rate computed as follows:

Monthly Periodic Rate
1/12 of Annual Percentage Rate

Corresponding Annual Percentage Rate
Prime Rate Plus 5.2% - 12.2%

The Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”) is a variable rate and will be based on your creditworthiness. The
APR shall be based on the highest Prime Rate listed in the Money Rate section of the Wall Street
Journal on the 1st day of each month (or if the 1st is a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the next business
day) and adding 5.2 - 12.2% to that rate, not to exceed 21%. Any change in the APR will go into effect
on the first day of your new billing cycle that follows the effective date, as herein defined, of the Wall
Street Journal published Prime Rate change. Any increase or decrease in the Prime Rate may result in
an increase or decrease in the INTEREST CHARGE imposed on your account and the minimum
payment due.
11. ADDITIONAL CARDHOLDER(S). We may issue cards to Additional Cardholders approved by
you. Additional Cardholders may not have accounts with us but they are able to access and utilize
your Account subject to the terms of this Agreement. We may, in our discretion, report Additional
Cardholders when we report to credit reporting agencies regarding the Account. You are
responsible for all use of your Account by Additional Cardholders and anyone they allow to use
your Account. You are responsible for all charges made by Additional Cardholders. You authorize
us to give Additional Cardholders information about your Account. If you want to cancel an
Additional Cardholder’s right to use your Account (and cancel their Account card) you must give us
a reasonable time to process the request. You may notify us either in writing, verbally, or via
electronic mail at:

Republic Bank
ATTN: Card Operations
601 West Market Street
Louisville, KY 40202

Or via email at:
creditcard@republicbank.com

Or via phone at:
1-866-292-0856

12. DEFAULT. The Account balance will, at Issuer’s option, become immediately due and payable,
without notice, in the event that (a) Customer becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or (b) Customer fails to
make payments due on the Account, incurs charges which exceed the maximum authorized credit limit
or otherwise breaches the Account terms or conditions, or (c) Issuer receives information which causes it
to believe Customer is unwilling or unable to perform under these Account terms and conditions, or (d)
attachment or garnishment proceedings are instituted against Customer. Failure by Issuer to assert any
rights hereunder shall not waive such rights.
13. SECURITY. If Issuer already holds any security interest created in any previous transaction for any
property that secures other or further indebtedness of Customer to Issuer, such security interest will
secure payment of the Account balance. Notwithstanding contrary provisions of any obligation of
Customer to Issuer, Issuer waives any security interest which it has or may have in any property that is
or becomes the principal dwelling of the Customer or any other person as security for payment of the
Account balance.
14. CREDIT INVESTIGATION. Customer authorizes Issuer at any time to make credit investigations
which are deemed necessary in Issuer’s discretion and Customer agrees to furnish financial statements
which may be requested at any time and in sufficient detail as Issuer may require.
15. CANCELLATION. Customer may cancel this Agreement upon notification in writing to Issuer. If
the Account is cancelled, Customer shall be responsible to pay all amounts due prior to such
cancellation, including amounts that have not yet been posted to Customers Account.
16. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT. Issuer may amend or modify these terms and conditions at any
time, effective forty-five (45) days after written notice thereof is mailed to Customer. Any changes in
these terms and conditions, including, without limitation, changes in the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE
and the Periodic Rate, shall be effective as to future Purchases, and Cash Advances. If required by
applicable law, the notice will tell you of any right you may have, and any steps you must take, to reject
the changes. If you properly notify us that you reject the changes, your Account will be closed and you
will be obligated to pay your outstanding balance under the terms of the Agreement in effect on the date
you received the notice of changes. If you do not properly notify us that you reject the changes by the
date stated in the notice, you will be deemed to have accepted all changes in the notice and to have
accepted and confirmed all terms of your Agreement. Issuer may, in its sole discretion, waive imposition
of the Annual Fee, Late Payment Fee, or any other provision(s) of these Account terms and conditions;
however, Issuer shall have no obligation to do so, and any such waiver shall be limited to the particular
instance or transaction involved and shall not constitute a waiver or authorize the non-observance of the
same or any other provision of these Account terms and conditions on any other or future occasion.
17. INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS. Purchases and Cash Advances occurring in foreign countries
and billed in foreign countries will be billed to your Account in U.S. dollars. Transactions processed
outside the United States will be charged an International Transaction Fee of 3%. The monetary
exchange rate will be a rate selected by MASTERCARD® from the range of rates available in 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, plus the applicable International Transaction Fee.
18. CHOICE OF LAW. Except to the extent superseded by Federal Law, this Agreement shall be
subject to and interpreted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, with all interest and
assessments authorized pursuant to KRS 286.6.
19. A MASTERCARD® Card may not be used for any illegal transaction.
20. YOUR BILLING RIGHTS.
Your Billing Rights: Keep This Document For Future Use
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at:

Customer Service
PO Box 30495
Tampa, FL 33630

In your letter, give us the following information:
• Account information: Your name and last four (4) of the account number.
• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
• Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and
why you believe it is a mistake.

You must contact us:
• Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.
• At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on
the amount you think is wrong. You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but
if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in
question.

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter
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:

Customer Service
PO Box 30495
Tampa, FL 33630

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.
