Therefore, before you sign the Application, you should read this entire Agreement, The information you provide on the Application that identifies you is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. This Agreement will not be effective unless and until we approve your Application. 2, Balances: Each transaction or group of transactions subject to the same terms (such as the applicable APR and duration) shall be considered part of the same balance. The balance subject fo the Regular APR and the other regular terms set forth in this Agreement is your Accounts regular balance. We calculate your total regular balance each billing cycle by taking the regular balance for the prior billing cycle, adding any regular purchases, fees, Interest Charges, other finance charges, and other debits, and subtracting any payments or other credits, as of the closing date for that billing cycle. Balances subject to promotional terms are promotional balances, We calculate the total of any promotional balance by adding the promotional purchase for that balance and subtracting any payments allocated to that promotional balance or other credits. You authorize us to allocate any payment or credit among your regular, promotional, and other balances in any manner, including in a manner that may be beneficial to us, except where otherwise prohibited by applicable law. The total of your regular balance and any promotional or other balances is the ‘New Balance” shown on your statement. 3, Your Regular Annual Percentage Rate: If Interest Charges (which are FINANCE CHARGES) are assessed during a billing cycle, we will use the following Annual Percentage Rate (the “Regular APR’) and corresponding monthly periodic rate, subject to any promotional terms:         If you reside in the state of: We apply the monthly ANNUAL periodic rate of: PERCENTAGE RATE AL 1.75% to $750.00 21% 1.5% over $750.00 18% AR 0.4167% 5% CO, GA, IN, MS, OK, 1.75% 919% TN, TX, VT, WV, WY “we ‘                   DC, MD 2.0% 24% HI, MA, MN, NC 1.5% 18% NE 1.75% to $499.99 21% 1.5% for $500.00 and more 18% All other states 2.0825% 24,999,           4, How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases: Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you interest in any billing cycle in which payments received (and if required by law, credits issued) by the due date equal or exceed the “Balance Payable To Avoid Further Interest” shown on your billing statement. The “Balance Payable To Avoid Further Interest Charges’ shown on your billing statement is your New Balance less any portion of a promotional balance for which payment is not required to avoid the imposition of Interest in a billing cycle. 5, Calculation of Interest: In all states except MN and NM, we calculate Interest Charges using the average daily balance method (including current transactions). In MN and NM, we calculate Interest Charges using the average daily balance method (excluding current transactions). We calculate interest separately for each balance on your Account subject to different terms (including APR and duration). We figure the Interest Charges by applying the applicable monthly periodic rate to the “average daily balance” for that balance. To get the average daily balance for a balance, we take the beginning balance each day, add any new transactions (except we do not add in any new transactions in MN and NM); subtract any payments or credits and any Late Payment Fees, any Returned Payment Fees, and/or unpaid Interest Charges; and make other adjustments. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up 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. Any negative daily balance wil be treated as zero. If Interest Charges are imposed and the total Interest that results from application of the above calculation to each balance is less than $1.00, we will impose a minimum Interest Charge of $1.00 (which is a FINANCE CHARGE); exceptin Ml, MO, NY, TN, and TX, where we will impose a minimum Interest Charge of $0.70 (which is a FINANCE CHARGE); and in AL, AZ, CO, IN, LA, ME, MA, MN, MS, MT, Nu, OK, PA, SC, SD, VT, WV, and WY, where we will impose @ minimum Interest Charge of $0.50 (which is a FINANCE CHARGE). Furthermore, there is no minimum Interest Charge in AR, DC, HI, IL, MD, NE, NM, NC, and RI. You authorize us to round any calculation used to determine Interest Charges, including rounding that may cause minor variations in our favor. The applicable monthly periodic rate for a balance is the applicable Annual Percentage Rate divided by twelve (12), and rounded to the fourth decimal place, 6, Minimum Payment: You agree to pay at least the “Minimum Payment” shown on your billing statement on or before its due date. Your total Minimum Payment is the sum of any minimum payment for your regular balance, for any promotional balance, and for any other balance. We base your minimum payment for your regular balance on the highest “Regular Balance” (the New Balance less any balance with a separate minimum payment) on your Account since the Regular Balance was last reduced to zero (the “Highest Regular Balance’). Your balance is considered to be zero when opened or when there is a credit balance. We will recalculate the minimum payment if a subsequent return is made, and the Regular Balance is below the Highest Regular Balance. The minimum payment for your regular balance will be calculated as follows, except any minimum payment in excess of $25.00 wil be rounded up to the nearest $5.00 increment, and the minimum payment for your regular balance wil never exceed the Regular Balance:                            Highest Regular Balance Minimum Payment Up to $265.00 25.00 5265.01 to $500.00 0% of Highest Regular Balance 5900.01 to $750.00 9% of Highest Regular Balance 5750.01 to $1,500.00 7% of Highest Regular Balance 1,500.01 to $2,500.00 6% of Highest Regular Balance 02,900.01 & Up 5% of Highest Regular Balance f your billing statement shows a promotional balance (such as a "No Interest’ balance, a “Reduced Interest Rate” balance, and/or an “Eighteen (18) Month” balance), the minimum payment for this balance shall be calculated as specified in Paragraph 7. There shall be no separate, additional minimum payment component for a non-regular, non-promotional balance unless we provide you notice of such a requirement. 7, Promotional Terms: At our sole discretion, we may offer you promotional terms for a new purchase or for an existing balance. Any promotion will be subject to the terms of the promotional offer and this Agreement. Below is a description of some of the promotional terms that we may offer in our sole discretion from time to time. No Interest Plans. If any single purchase is designated as purchased under a no interest plan, you will pay no interest if the promotional purchase is paid in full in the designated promotional time period (which may be 6 months, 12 months, or another period specified in the promotion). If the promotional purchase balance is not paid in full by the end of the designated promotional period, or if we do not receive a required minimum payment within 60 days of its due date, interest will be charged to your account at the Regular APR from the promotional purchase date, Unless the promotion states that there is no separate promotional minimum payment, the required minimum payment for the promotional balance will be the amount of the promotional purchase divided by the promotional period, rounded up to the nearest $5.00 increment. However, if the promotion specifies a minimum purchase amount, inno case will the minimum payment be less than the minimum purchase amount divided by the promotional period, which may shorten your repayment period in certain instances. The minimum payment will never be more than the remaining promotional purchase balance. If the promotion states that there is no separate promotional minimum payment, then the amount of the promotional balance will be included in your regular balance for the purpose of calculating your minimum payment. Reduced Rate Plans. If any single purchase is designated as purchased under a reduced rate plan, we will calculate the Interest for the promotional balance by using an APR that is less than your Regular APR (the “Promotional APR’), in lieu of the Regular APR during the specified promotional period (which may be 6 months, 12 months, or some other period specified by us). The Promotional APR will return to your Regular APR at the expiration of the promotional period or if we do not receive @ required minimum payment within 60 days of its due date. See Paragraph 3 for details. Unless the promotion states that there is no separate promotional minimum payment, the required minimum payment for the promotional balance will be the amount of the promotional purchase divided by the promotional period, rounded up to the nearest $5.00 increment. However, if the promotion specifies a minimum purchase amount, in no case will the minimum payment be less than the minimum purchase amount divided by the promotional period, which may shorten your repayment period in certain instances. The minimum payment will never be more than the remaining promotional purchase balance. If the promotion states that there is no separate promotional minimum payment, then the amount of the promotional balance will be included in your regular balance for the purpose of calculating your minimurn payment. Eighteen (18) Month Plan, If any single purchase is designated as purchased under the “Eighteen Month Plan*, no Interest will be imposed on the promotional purchase for the first twelve (12) months if you make all required minimum payments by the end of the 12th month. If we do not receive all required minimum payments by the end of the 12th month, or if we do not receive a required minimum payment within 60 days of its due date, Interest will be charged to your account at the Regular APR from the promotional purchase date. After the first twelve (12) months, we will use the specified reduced APR (the “Promotional APR’), in lieu of the Regular APR, to calculate Interest for the next six (6) months. The Promotional APR will return to your Regular APR at the expiration of the six month period or if we do not receive a required minimum payment within 60 days of its due date. See Paragraph 3 for details. The required minimum payment for the promotional balance will be 1/18th of the promotional purchase multiplied by 1.030 and rounded up to the nearest $5.00, but not less than $150.00 or not less than $250.00, based on the terms of the offer. 8, Payments: All payments must be mailed or delivered to us at the address shown on the front of the billing statement and accompanied by the payment slip. You must pay us in U.S. dollars drawn on funds on deposit in the United States using a check or similar instrument that will be processed and honored by your bank. Do not send cash payments. We can accept late or partial payments, as well as payments that reflect ‘paid in full’ or other restrictive endorsements, without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. We credit your payments in accordance with our payment instructions on the billing statement. 9. Disputed Amounts and Legal Notices: All notices relating to legal actions, including bankruptcy notices, must be sent to us at P.O. Box 1799, Akron, OH 44309-1799.

If, for example, we exercise our right to require that the Claim be resolved by arbitration but you do not also exercise your right to require that the Claim be arbitrated, the Claim will be resolved by arbitration. If neither we nor you request arbitration, the Claim will not be resolved " arbitration and instead will be litigated in court. The arbitrator's authority to resolve Claims is limited to Claims between you and us alone, and the arbitrator's authority to make awards or decisions is limited to you and us alone. Furthermore, Claims between you and us may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with Claims brought by or against someone other than you, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties. However, applicants, co-applicants, authorized users on a single Account, or corporate affiliates are considered one person for the purposes of this paragraph. No arbitration award will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (‘FAA’) (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.). C. Ifwe or you request arbitration of a Claim, we and you will not have the right to litigate the Claim in court. This means (1) there will be no jury trial on the Claim, (2) there will be no pre-arbitration discovery except as the Administrator's rules permit, and (3) no Claim may be arbitrated on a class- action, private attorney general, or other representative basis, and neither we nor you will have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class or group of claimants pertaining to any Claim subject to arbitration. D. The party initiating an arbitration shall select an Administrator from the organizations listed above. If none of the Administrators listed above will accept the arbitration, the arbitration will be administered by an administrator, or adjudicated by an arbitrator, upon which you and we agree in writing. The arbitration shall be governed by the procedures and rules of the Administrator and this Agreement, which need not apply federal, state or local rules of procedure and evidence. The Administrator's procedures and rules may limit the discovery available to you or us. You can obtain a copy of an Administrator's procedures and rules by contacting the Administrator. A single, neutral arbitrator will resolve Claims, The arbitrator will be either a lawyer with at least ten years experience or a retired or former judge, selected in accordance with the rules of the Administrator.

However, an arbitrator cannot enlarge his or her authority over the adjudication of Claims beyond that provided by this arbitration provision by enforcing only part ofthis arbitration provision. If an arbitrator determines that applicable law requires this arbitration provision to be enforced in a way that would result in greater authority over Claims than otherwise allowed, such as the adjudication of claims on a class or representative basis, then the arbitrator must decline to hear the dispute and shall refer the parties to a court or other body with sufficient authority.

Balance In all states except MN and NM, we calculate Interest Charges using the average daily Computation balance method (including current transactions). In MN and NM, we calculate Interest Method Charges using the average daily balance method (excluding current transactions). We calculate interest separately for each balance on your Account subject to different terms (including APR and duration). We figure the Interest Charges by applying the applicable monthly periodic rate to the “average daily balance” for that balance. To get the average daily balance for a balance, we take the beginning balance each day, add any new transactions (except we do not add in any new transactions in MN and NM); subtract any payments or credits and any Late Payment Fees, any Returned Payment Fees, and/or unpaid Interest Charges; and make other adjustments. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up 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. Any negative daily balance will be treated as zero. The applicable monthly periodic rate for a balance is the applicable Annual Percentage Rate divided by twelve (12), and rounded to the fourth decimal place.        Fees Annual None Fee   If any check, instrument, or electronic authorization used to pay us is not honored upon first Returned presentment, (for residents of MD, second presentment), even if the check, instrument or electronic Payment | authorization is later honored, we may charge you a Returned Payment Fee.
