credit limit, and is at our sole discretion.
iii)
We may also increase, decrease, restrict, or cancel your credit limit at any time, subject to applicable law. This will not affect your obligation to pay the
indebtedness as required by this Agreement. If we change your credit limit, we will notify you in the manner required by applicable law.

We are not responsible if anyone refuses to accept the card for any reason. Also, we may reject any transaction for any reason. We may limit the type,
number, or aggregate dollar amount of transactions you are permitted to initiate in a day, week, or billing cycle for security reasons. If we impose such
limits, you agree that we will not be liable to you if we do not authorize or process transactions in excess of those limits. Unless we tell you

responsible or liable if this happens.

differs from the issuer's country. The converted transaction amount will be shown separately from the international transaction fee on your
statement.

An international transaction fee in the amount set forth in the Disclosure Statement will be assessed on foreign transactions where a currency conversion
is not performed.

claim you might have regarding the purchases of goods or services made with the card.
d)
Merchant Refunds. If you are entitled to a refund for goods or services purchased with the card, you will accept these refunds as credits to your account.
We do not control when a merchant sends us your refund. We will also have a reasonable amount of time after we receive your refund to process it.
e)
Using a PIN.
i)
We may give you a PIN. For security reasons, you might have to provide the PIN before you are able to complete some transactions using the card.

ATM or POS requires entry of a PIN and displays the logo of the network on the card.

by its due date.

Your statement will provide instructions for making payments, including the amounts due and the due date. If applicable, your statement will also
provide a minimum payment amount. To avoid a late payment fee, your minimum payment must be received by us no later than 10 days after your
scheduled payment due date.
ii)
In addition to the minimum payment, you may pay all or part of the balance on your account. However, you must still pay at least the minimum
payment amount each month, even if you paid more than the minimum on the previous statement. We will continue to charge interest charges during
billing cycles when you carry a balance regardless of whether your statement includes a minimum payment. If your account is 90 days past due, the entire
balance is immediately due and payable.
iii)
Payments will be applied in the following order: (A) interest charges; (B) previous cash advances (including transfers); (C) previous purchases; (D)current
cash advances (including transfers); and finally to (E) current purchases.
e)
Index; Periodic Rate. The index, margin, APR, and periodic rate are contained in the Disclosure Statement.
f)
Penalty Rate. If your minimum payment is not received within 60 days of the payment due date, your entire account balance is subject to the penalty rate
of 24.99% APR. The Penalty APR will remain in place until you make six (6) consecutive minimum monthly payments when due, as indicated on
your monthly account statement. After six (6) consecutive payments, the APR will revert to the standard APR as shown on the Account Opening
Disclosure for Purchases, Balance Transfers, and Cash Advances. If you do not make these six (6) consecutive minimum payments, we may keep the Penalty
APR on your account indefinitely.

use that occurs after you notify us and we have a reasonable opportunity to act on such notice. In no event shall we be obligated to reissue a lost

ii)
What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter
(a) When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
(i)
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.
(ii)
Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the statement is correct the
error.
(b) While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
(i) We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
(ii) The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to assess interest charges on that amount.
(iii) While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
(iv) We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
(c)
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
(i) If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest charges or other fees related to that amount.
(ii)
If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest charges and fees.
We will send you written notice 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.
(d)
If you receive our explanation but still believe your statement 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 statement. 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.

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases
(a) If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with the 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.
(b) To use this right, all of the following must be true:
(i)
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 $50.00. (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.)
(ii)
You must have used your card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your
account do not qualify.
(iii) You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.

you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.
j) Other Consequences of a Dispute. If you dispute a transaction made by you or someone else on your account, and we later credit your account for all or
part of the disputed amount, you give us all of your rights against that other person. In addition, you will:
i)
give us any merchandise or other purchases you received in connection with the disputed amount if we ask;
ii)
not pursue any claim or reimbursement from the merchant and that other person; and
iii)
help us pursue and get reimbursement from the merchant and that other person. Your help includes giving us documents that we ask for and that
are acceptable to us.
k)
Mailed Payments.
i)
You must mail payments to us at the address provided on your statement or as otherwise instructed by us. We will credit each payment to your
account on the day we receive it if:
(1)
you send the payment coupon included with your statement in the same envelope with your payment;
(2) you include your account number on your payment item; and
(3) your payment arrives at the address indicated on the payment coupon by the cutoff time.
ii)
Unless otherwise specified in Section 3(k)(iii), and except as limited by applicable law, payments that conform to the requirements of Section 3(k)(i)
will be credited to your account if we receive them by the cutoff time. If we receive any payment after the cutoff time, we will apply it the next business day
except when a delay does not result in a finance or other charge. If the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, or a day on which we do not receive or
accept payments, then we will treat any payment received by us at the correct address by the cutoff time on the next business day as if we received it by
the cutoff time on the due date. We will not impose a separate fee for you to make payments unless the applicable payment method involves an
expedited (that is same day or next day) delivery service.
iii) We may accept payments that do not conform to the requirements set forth in this Section 3(k), and if we do so, we will apply them to your account
not later than five days after we receive them.
4)
Our Account Servicing Agreements.
a) Statements. We will send you one statement for all cards issued with respect to your account per billing cycle unless applicable law does not require or permit us
to send only one statement. Statements will be sent at the end of each billing cycle when your account has a debit or credit balance of more than $1.00, or if we
have charged any interest charges to your account. Your statement will show all transactions billed to your account during the billing cycle along with other
important account information.
b) Payment Processing.
i)
We may accept and process payments without losing any of our rights. Even if we apply your payment to your account, we may delay the availability
4
of credit until we confirm that your payment has cleared. We may resubmit and electronically collect returned payments. We may also adjust your
account as necessary to correct errors, to process returned and reversed payments, and to handle similar issues.
ii)
When you provide an item as payment you authorize us either to use information from your item to make a one time electronic fund transfer from
your deposit account or to process the payment as an item. We will provide additional information about this process on your statement or other
documents we send you before your payment. You may contact us and ask that we not process your future items in this way.
iii)
When you provide an item as payment, it might also be converted into an electronic image and collected and returned electronically. These electronic
images may also be converted to substitute checks. We will not be responsible if an item you provide has physical features that when imaged result in
it not being processed as you intended.
c)
Items with Restrictive Words, Conditions or Instructions. All items that have restrictive words, conditions, limitations, or special instructions added
(including items marked with the words "Paid in Full" or similar language) and all accompanying communications must be mailed to and received at the
address in your most recent statement. If you make your payment or send any accompanying communications to any other address, we may accept and
process the payment without losing any of our rights.
d)
Credit Balances. We may reject and return to you any payment that creates a credit balance on your account. If we allow you to create a credit balance,
such balance will not be available until we confirm that your payment has cleared. We may reduce the amount of a credit balance by any new transactions
posted to your account. You may contact us in writing as provided on your statement and request a refund of an available credit balance. We will refund
your credit balance not later than seven business days after we receive your written request.
e)
Account Default.
i)
We may consider you in default under this Agreement if:
(1) you do not make a payment by its due date;
(2) any payment you make is rejected, not paid, or cannot be processed;
(3) you exceed your credit limit;
(4) a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is filed by or against you;
(5) you die or are legally declared incompetent or incapacitated;
(6)
we determine that you made a false, incomplete, or misleading statement on any of your account documentation, or you otherwise tried to
defraud us;
(7) you do not comply with any term of this Agreement, the related documents, or any other agreement with us; or
(8) you permanently reside outside the United States.
ii)
If your account is in default, we may charge the late payment fee set forth in Section 3(c)(ii) and the Disclosure Statement.
iii) Paying the fees charged in connection with a default will not by itself cure the default. In addition, if you are in default, we may take the following
actions without notifying you, unless we are required to do SO by applicable law.
(1) close or suspend your account,
(2) lower your credit limit;
(3) increase your minimum payment;
(4) demand that you immediately pay the entire indebtedness (for example, as described in Section 3(d));
(5)
continue to charge you interest charges and fees as long as any indebtedness remains outstanding; and/or
(6) pursue any other action against you that is permitted by applicable law, including the filing of a lawsuit against you.
iv) You must pay us all of our collection expenses, attorneys' fees, and court costs, unless applicable law does not allow us to collect these amounts.
f)
Communications.
i)
We may contact you from time to time regarding your account. We may contact you in any manner we choose unless prohibited by applicable law. For

(1) contact you by mail, telephone, cellular phone, email, fax, recorded message, text message, or personal visit;
(2) contact you at your home and at your place of employment;
(3) contact you at any time, including weekends and holidays;

(6) identify ourselves, your relationship with us, and our purpose for contacting you even if others might hear or read it.

Our contacts with you about your account are not unsolicited and might result from information we obtain from you or others. We may monitor or
record our conversations or other communication with you. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we may modify or suppress caller ID and similar
services and identify ourselves on these services in any manner we choose. When you give us, or we obtain, your mobile phone number, we
may contact you at this number and can also leave prerecorded and other messages. We may do these things whether we contact you or you contact
us.
iii)
If you ask us to discuss your account with a person, you must provide us with documents that we ask for and that are acceptable to us.
g)
Credit Reports.
i)
We may provide information about you and the account to consumer (credit) reporting agencies and others as provided in the related documents.
Information we provide might appear on your credit reports and your authorized users' credit reports. This could include negative information if you
do not comply with the terms of this Agreement.
ii)
We may obtain and use credit and income information about you from consumer (credit) reporting agencies and others as permitted by applicable
law.
h)
Closing or Suspending Your Account.
i)
You may ask us to close your account by writing us as described on your statement. Your statement will provide additional information about this

card or charges post to your account after you ask us to close it, we may keep it open or re-open it.
ii)
We may close or suspend your account and your right to obtain credit from us. We may do this at any time and for any reason permitted by applicable
law, even if you are not in default. A suspension of your account might be permanent or temporary.
iii)
If your account is closed or suspended for any reason, you must stop using the card. You must also cancel all billing arrangements that access the
account. We will not do this for you. If we close or permanently suspend your account, you must also destroy all cards. You must still pay the indebtedness
in full, even if it includes transactions posted to your account after we close or suspend it.
i)
New Offers. In the future, we might make new offers to you or forward offers from others that we think you might be interested in. These offers may
have new or different terms and documentation for these offers will be provided when we make you the offer. If you accept the offer, your previously
disclosed terms will still apply except as modified by the offer.
j)
Changes to this Agreement.
i) At any time, we may add, delete, or change any term of this Agreement unless prohibited by applicable law. We will give you notice of any changes as
