Addendum to the Cardmember Agreement

This Addendum to the Cardmember Agreement reflects variations to our standard form
credit card agreement in effect on the last business day of the previous calendar quarter
that ended on 3/31/2018.  Our standard Cardmember Agreement(s) is supplemented with
pricing information reflected 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 below “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.

The following provision is to be added at the end of the last sentence of the “Credit
Line/Authorized Usage” paragraph in our standard Cardmember Agreement and is applicable
to credit card accounts that do not have a preset spending limit:

“Because your Account has no pre-set spending limit, we may permit you from time to time at
our discretion to make certain charges that cause your outstanding balance to exceed your
revolving credit line.  These charges will be evaluated based on account performance, other
credit accounts with us, and your experience with other creditors.  If we authorize these
charges, you must pay, with your Minimum Payment Due, the amount by which your balance
exceeds your revolving credit line, including amounts due to Purchases, Cash Advances,
Interest charges, Fees, or other charges.”

The provisions describing how we calculate your balance subject to interest rate each month,
accrual of interest and how to avoid paying interest on purchases may vary based on the
account type that the applicant applied for and whether the applicant is a resident of Iowa.  The
following two options contain the various provisions that could apply, and one of these options
will be reflected in the Cardmember Agreement assigned at account opening:   

OPTION 1:

How We Will Calculate Interest.

We use a method called “daily balance (including new purchases)”. We calculate interest
separately for each “Balance Subject to Interest Rate”. These include for example, Purchases at
the current rate, Balance Transfers at the current rate, Cash Advances at the current rate, and
different promotional balances. Your monthly billing statement shows each “Balance Subject to
Interest Rate”.

To calculate interest, we first calculate a daily balance for each Balance Subject to Interest Rate.
We start with the balance, for that Balance Subject to Interest Rate, as of the end of the
previous day. We add any interest calculated on the previous day’s balance. (This means
interest is compounded daily). We add any new Purchases, Balance Transfers, or Cash
Advances to the appropriate balance, subtract any new payments or credits from the
appropriate balance, and make other adjustments. A credit balance is treated as a balance of
zero. We then multiply each daily balance by the applicable DPR. We do this for each day in the
billing period. That gives us the daily interest. We add up all the daily interest for all of the daily
balances to get the total interest for the billing period.

On Purchases, interest begins to accrue as of the transaction date. However, you may avoid
paying interest on Purchases in any given billing cycle if you pay your Statement Balance in full
by the Payment Due Date. For Balance Transfers, interest will accrue from the transaction date
which generally will be the day we send the Balance Transfer to the payee. For Checks, interest
will accrue from the transaction date which generally will be the day the payee accepts the
Check. For Cash Advances, interest will accrue from the transaction date which generally will be
the day you take the Cash Advance. If you are charged interest in a billing cycle, we will charge
a Minimum Interest Charge (or “Minimum Charge”) on your Account if the total interest charge in
that billing cycle is less than the amount of the Minimum Interest Charge.

OPTION 2:

How We Will Calculate Your Balance Subject to Interest Rate (For Residents of Iowa at
the Time of Account Opening).

We use a method called “average daily balance (including new purchases)”. To determine the
amount of the interest to be charged on your Account we first calculate the “Balance Subject to
Interest Rate” separately for Purchases, for Balance Transfers, and for Cash Advances. We
apply the applicable Monthly Periodic Rate to the average daily balances of i) Purchases, ii)
Balance Transfers, and iii) Cash Advances. The average daily balances for Purchases, for
Balance Transfers, and for Cash Advances are calculated separately and determined as
follows: We take the beginning balances for each balance category on your Account each day,
add to the respective balances any new transaction, subtract any payments or credits and make
any other applicable adjustment(s). A credit balance is treated as a balance of zero. Then we
take the sum of all daily balances and divide by the number of days in the billing period to
determine the average daily balance. If you multiply the “Balance Subject to Interest Rate” for
each balance category as disclosed on your monthly billing statement by the applicable MPRs,
the results will be the interest assessed, except for minor variations caused by rounding. We
may from time to time offer you “introductory,” “special” or “promotional” APR offers. If any are in
effect on your Account, we will separately identify the balances to which such offers apply on
your monthly billing statement. These separate balances and the related interest will be
calculated in the same manner as described above.

Accrual of Interest and How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases.

On Purchases, interest begins to accrue as of the transaction date. However, you may avoid
paying interest on Purchases in any given billing cycle if you pay your Statement Balance in full
by the Payment Due Date each month. For Balance Transfers, interest will accrue from the
transaction date which generally will be the day we send the Balance Transfer to the payee. For
Checks, interest will accrue from the transaction date which generally will be the day the payee
accepts the Check. For Cash Advances, interest will accrue from the transaction date which
generally will be the day you take the Cash Advance. If you are charged interest in a billing
cycle, we will charge a Minimum Interest Charge (or “Minimum Charge”) on your Account if the
total interest charge in that billing cycle is less than the amount of the Minimum Interest Charge
that is disclosed in the Account Summary Table.
