VISA SHARE SECURED/VISA CLASSIC/VISA STUDENT

This Consumer Credit Card Agreement and Disclosure together with the Account Opening Disclosure and any other
Account opening documents or any subsequent documents provided to You related to this Account (hereinafter
collectively referred to as “Agreement”) govern the terms and conditions of this Account. “We,” “Us,” “Our” and “Ours” and
“Credit Union” refers to Merced School Employees Federal Credit Union with which this Agreement is made. “You,”
“Your,” and “Yours” refers to each applicant and co-applicant for the Account; any person responsible for paying the
Account; and anyone You authorize to use, access or service the Account. "Card" means the Visa® credit card and any
other access devices, duplicates, renewals, or substitutions, the Credit Union issues to You. "Account" means the line of
credit established by this Agreement and includes Your Card.

SECURITY INTEREST

You grant the Credit Union a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code and under any common law rights
the Credit Union may have in any goods You purchase.

If You give the Credit Union a specific pledge of shares by signing a separate pledge of shares, Your pledged shares
will secure Your Account. You may not withdraw amounts that have been specifically pledged to secure Your Account
until the Credit Union agrees to release all or part of the pledged amount.

You grant Us a security interest in all individual and joint share and/or deposit accounts You have with Us now
and in the future to secure Your credit card Account. Shares and deposits in an IRA or any other account that
would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law if given as security are not subject to the security
interest You have given in Your shares and deposits. You may withdraw these other shares unless You are in
default. When You are in default, You authorize Us to apply the balance in these accounts to any amounts due.
For example, if You have an unpaid credit card balance, You agree We may use funds in Your account(s) to pay
any or all of the unpaid balance.

Unless otherwise prohibited by federal and/or state law, collateral securing other loans You have with the Credit Union
may also secure this loan, except that a dwelling will never be considered as security for this Account, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any other Agreement.

1. USING YOUR ACCOUNT — By using the Account or keeping the Card, You agree to the terms of this Agreement.
in accordance with this Agreement. Your Account must only be used for lawful
You agree to use Your Account
transactions.
2. CREDIT LIMIT — We may establish a credit limit as part of this Agreement, which You promise not to exceed. If You
exceed the credit limit, You promise to repay immediately the amount which exceeds the credit limit, including amounts
due to finance charges, fees or other charges. You may request a credit limit increase on Your Account only by a method
acceptable to the Credit Union. We may increase or decrease Your credit limit, refuse to make an advance and/or
terminate Your Account at any time for any reason permitted by law.
3. REPAYMENT — You promise to repay all amounts You owe under this Agreement. Your promise to repay includes
interest
all transactions made to Your Account by You or anyone You authorize to use Your Account as well as all
charges and fees.
For each billing period, You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date.
The Minimum Payment Due is 2.00% of Your total New Balance, or $25.00, whichever is greater, plus any amount past
due and any amount by which You have exceeded Your applicable credit limit. If Your total New Balance is less than
$25.00, then Your Minimum Payment Due is the amount of the total New Balance.
You may pay more frequently, pay more than the Minimum Payment Due or pay the total New Balance in full.

10408870-MXC30-P-1-070821 (MXC305-E)

1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIf You make extra or larger payments, You are still required to make at least the Minimum Payment Due each month Your
Account has a balance (other than a credit balance). The Credit Union may delay replenishing Your credit limit until the
date the payment is posted or the Credit Union confirms the payment has cleared.
Your payment of the required Minimum Payment Due may be applied to what You owe the Credit Union in any manner
the Credit Union chooses, as permitted by applicable law. If You make a payment in excess of the required Minimum
Payment Due, the Credit Union will allocate the excess amount first to the balance with the highest annual percentage
rate (“APR”) and any remaining portion to the other balances in descending order based on applicable APR, unless
otherwise prescribed by applicable law. We may accept checks marked "payment in full" or with words of similar effect
without losing any of Our rights to collect the full balance of Your Account with Us.

INTEREST AND FINANCE CHARGES — We will begin charging You interest on new purchases on the first day of
4.
the following billing cycle. We will begin charging You interest on cash advances and balance transfers on the date of the
transaction or the first day of the billing cycle in which the transaction is posted to Your Account, whichever is later
(transaction date). However, We will not charge You any interest on new purchases if You paid the entire new balance on
the previous cycle’s billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement. To avoid an additional finance charge
on the balance of purchases, You must pay the entire new balance on the billing statement by the Payment Due Date of
that statement.

How We Calculate Your Balance:
Interest charges on Your Account are calculated separately for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances
(“Transaction Type”). We figure the interest charge for each Transaction Type by applying the periodic rate to each
corresponding “average daily balance.” To get the “average daily balance” for a Transaction Type We take the beginning
balance for that Transaction Type each day, add any new transactions of that type (excluding new purchases), and
subtract any unpaid interest or other finance charges and any applicable payments or credits. This gives Us the daily
balance for each Transaction Type. Then, for each Transaction Type, We add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle
and divide each total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives Us the “average daily balance” for each
Transaction Type.
5. FEES — In addition to the periodic rate, additional fees may be imposed on Your Account. If applicable to Your
Account,
the fee amounts and explanations are disclosed on the Account Opening Disclosure accompanying this
Agreement.
6. FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS — Purchases and cash advances made in foreign currencies will be debited from Your
Account in U.S. dollars. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing
international transactions is a rate selected by Visa from a range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the
applicable transaction date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or the rate mandated by the
government or governing body in effect for the applicable transaction date. The exchange rate used on the transaction
date may differ from the rate that would have been used on the processing date or cardholder statement posting date.
A fee (finance charge), calculated in U.S. dollars, will be imposed on all foreign transactions, including purchases, cash
advances, and credits to Your Account. A foreign transaction is any transaction that You complete or a merchant
completes on Your Card outside of the United States, with the exception of U.S. military bases, U.S. territories, U.S.
embassies, or U.S. consulates. Transactions completed by merchants outside of the United States are considered foreign
transactions, regardless of whether You are located inside or outside the United States at the time of the transaction. The
Foreign Transaction Fee is set forth on the Account Opening Disclosure accompanying this Agreement.
7. AUTHORIZATIONS — We do not guarantee authorization of a transaction, either by Us or by a third party, even if
You have sufficient credit available. You agree that We will not be liable for failing to give an authorization. We also
reserve the right to limit the number of transactions that may be approved in one day. We reserve the right to deny certain
transactions for any reason and at Our sole discretion, including for default, suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity,
internet gambling or any indication of increased risk related to the transaction or the Account. You agree that We have no
requirement to notify You of the specific reason We denied a transaction. If We detect unusual or suspicious activity, We
may suspend Your credit privileges until We can verify the activity, or We may close the Account.

INFORMATION UPDATING SERVICE AND AUTHORIZATIONS — If You have authorized a merchant to bill charges
8.
to Your Card on a recurring basis, it is Your responsibility to notify the merchant in the event Your Card is replaced, Your
Account information (such as Card number or expiration date) changes, or Your Account is closed. However, if Your Card
is replaced or Your Account information changes, You authorize Us, without obligation on Our part, to provide the updated
Account information to the merchant in order to permit the merchant to bill recurring charges to Your Card. You authorize
Us to apply such recurring charges to Your Card until You notify Us that You have revoked authorization for the charges
to Your Card.
Your Card is automatically enrolled in an information updating service. Through this service, Your updated Account
information (such as Card number or expiration date) may be shared with participating merchants to facilitate continued
recurring charges. Updates are not guaranteed before Your next payment to a merchant is due. You are responsible for
making direct payment until recurring charges resume. To revoke Your authorization allowing Us to provide updated
Account information to a merchant, please contact Us.

1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX9. PREAUTHORIZED CHARGES — We may suspend preauthorized recurring charges with merchants if, for example,
Your Card is lost or stolen, You default, or We change Your Account for any reason. If preauthorized recurring charges
are suspended, You are responsible for making direct payment for such charges until You contact the merchant to
reinstate recurring charges.
10. DEFAULT — You will be in default under this Agreement if You fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by its Payment
Due Date; pay by a check or similar instrument that is not honored or that We must return because it cannot be
processed; pay by automatic debit that is returned unpaid; make any false or misleading statements in any credit
application or credit update; file for bankruptcy; or die. You will also be in default if You fail to comply with the terms of this
Agreement or any other Agreement You have with Us.
If You default, We may close Your Account and require You to pay any unpaid balance immediately, subject to applicable
law. In this Agreement and on Your Credit Card Application, You gave Us a security interest in all individual or joint share
and/or deposit accounts with the Credit Union and authorized Us, if You defaulted, to apply the balance in these accounts
to any amounts due. You agree We may rely on Your agreement and authorization to, upon Your default, apply any
balance to any amounts due on Your Account.

Your credit card or a possible unauthorized use of Your Card, You should write to Us immediately at 1021 Olivewood

found to be fraudulent or negligent in the handling of Your Account or Card. In any case, Your liability for unauthorized
transactions will not exceed $50.

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 the address listed on Your statement.
In Your letter, give Us the following information:

- Account information: Your name and 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 three 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 or electronically. 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 or electronically at
the address listed on Your statement.
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.
