     Account Fees and Other INTEREST  RATES  
      
     ABOUT YOUR APRs  
     Your APRs are shown on page 1.   
     A Daily Periodic Rate is used to determine your Interest Charges in any billing cycle. To determine this rate, we divide 
     your APR by 365; then round this number up to the next hundred thousandth of a p ercentage point.   
     PROMOTIONAL CREDIT PLANS   
     From time to time, we may offer one or more Promotional Credit Plans. These may be offered to you:  
     �    prior to your purchase; and/or  
     �    at the time of your purchase.  
     Any of these Plans may be offered at any time an d are conditioned on your timely payment of at least the Minimum 
     Payment Due for each billing statement:  
     a) Waived Interest Charge Credit Plan  
     With this Plan there are no Interest Charges on your purchase for a specified period.   
     b) Same As Cash / Monthly  Payment Credit Plan  
     With this Plan, there are no Interest Charges on your purchase if you repay the full cash price of the purchase before the 
     promotional expiration date shown on your billing statement.  
     If you do not repay in full by the promotional expir ation date, Interest Charges will be imposed from the purchase date.  
     c) Reduced Rate Credit Plan  
     With this Plan, you will receive a reduced periodic rate on your purchase for a specified period.   
     d) Special Repayment Term Credit Plan    
     With this Plan speci al repayment terms will be applied to the purchase for the specified period.  
     e) Special Repayment Term / Reduced Rate Credit Plan  
     With this Plan special repayment terms and a reduced periodic rate will be applied to the purchase for the specified 
     period.  
     P urchases that do not fall under one of these Plans are called Regular Credit Plan purchases.     
     If you make more than one purchase on your card, these balances may be treated differently.   
     Certain rules apply to the allocation of payments and interest charg eson your promotional purchase if you make 
     more than one purchase on your Card. Call 1 - 888 - 367 - 4310 or review the HOW WE APPLY PAYMENTS   section of 
     this Agreement for information.  
     INTEREST CHARGES  
     HOW INTEREST CHARGES ARE CALCULATED   
     Each billing statement  shows the Interest Charges, which are calculated separately for each:  
     �    Promotional Credit Plan with a unique due date or unique terms;   
     �    Regular Credit Plan  
     The total interest charge for the billing cycle is the sum of the interest charge for each plan s ubject to the minimum interest 
     charge shown in the chart.  
     For Same As Cash Plans, if interest is applied, the interest is accrued from the transaction date of the purchase through 
     the current cycle. The Interest Charge is the total of:  
     �    the applicable Dai ly Periodic Rate for the current cycle times the Daily Balance for each day in the current cycle; 
     plus  
     �    the applicable Daily Periodic Rate for each prior cycle times the Daily Balances of the Credit Plan for each day 
     during each prior cycle.  
     For Plans oth er than Same As Cash, the interest charge is the total of:  
     �    the applicable Daily Periodic Rate for the Plan times the Daily Balance for the plan for each day in the cycle.  
     HOW DAILY BALANCE IS DETERMINED   
     To determine your Daily Balance, we:  
     �    take the op ening balance for each Plan for that day;  then  
     �    add the following that were incurred on that day:  
     a)   any new purchases  
     b)   any previous day�s periodic Interest Charges  
     c)   any fees and charges, including any credit insurance premiums or debt cancellation f ees, if these apply;  
     then  
     �    subtract any payments and/or credits.  
     For any Same As Cash Credit Plan:  
     Any credit insurance premiums or debt cancellation fees are not included in the Daily Balance of that Plan during the 
     promotional period.  
     We also make any n eeded adjustments. For example:  
     �    If a transaction posts after but occurs before the start of a billing cycle, we may adjust the amount above to 
     include this transaction. It will be included as of the first day of the billing cycle in which it posts.  
     �    If  your Account is subject to a grace period during the billing cycle, your payments will be subtracted from all Daily 
     Balances in the current billing cycle.  
     �    If a transaction for a returned payment or a dispute resolved in our favor posts after the beginnin g of the billing 
     cycle, we will make this adjustment:    
     � the applicable Daily Balance(s) and any related Interest Charges will be adjusted to include the transaction amount as of 
     the date of the original payment or transaction.  
     To calculate your Average Da ily Balance, we:  
     �    add the Daily Balances for each day of the billing cycle; then  
     �    divide this total by the number of days in the billing cycle.  
     How to avoid paying interest on purchases   
     The number of days until your Payment Due Date after the close of e ach billing cycle is indicated in the Interest Rates and 
     Interest Charges section of this Agreement. We will not charge you Interest on purchases if you pay your entire balance 
     by the due date each month.  
     Interest charges begin on the transaction date and  continue to accrue until paid in full except as noted below:  
     EXCEPTIONS   
     1.   For New Purchases  and balances: No interest is charged in a billing cycle on a Regular, Reduced Rate, or Special 
     Repayment Terms Credit Plans if the combined Previous Balance of t hose Plans at the beginning of the cycle is:  
     a)   zero; or  
     b)   a credit balance (e.g., less than zero); or  
     c)    paid in full before the Payment Due Date that falls during the cycle;  
     2.   For Waived Interest Charge Credit Plans:  No interest is charged for the pr omotional period.  
     3.  For Same As Cash Credit Plans:  No interest is charged if the full cash sales price is paid in full before the promotion 
     expiration date.  
     HOW WE APPLY PAYMENTS   
     The amount of your payment that is equal to the Minimum Payment Due is:  
     �    applied as we determine within legal guidelines; and  
     �    usually applied to the minimum due on each credit plan.  
     Any payment amount over the Minimum Payment Due is applied to higher APR balances before lower ones.  
      
     If you have a Same As Cash Credit Plan(s):  
     �    Until the final two complete billing cycles:  
     -    We apply payments the same way we apply payments to a Same As Cash Credit Plan having a 0% APR  
     �     
     During the final two complete billing cycles and up to the date of expiration we will apply payments received  in 
     this order:  
     1)   To the required Minimum Payment Due; and    
     2)   To the plan(s) that is expiring, in the order of expiration.

     ARBITRATION  
     Federal Arbitration Act  
     This arbitration provision is made pursua nt to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the 
     Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1  -  16 (the �FAA�). In making decisions or awarding remedies, the arbitrator 
     shall apply the applicable substantive Law, consistent w ith the FAA, that would apply if the matter had been brought in 
     court. The arbitrator shall provide written reasoned findings of fact and conclusions of law upon written request as set forth 
     in the applicable arbitration association procedures. The arbitra tor�s award shall not be subject to appeal except as 
     permitted by the FAA and in the paragraph below captioned �Decision and Appeal.� Judgment upon the award may be 
     entered in any court having jurisdiction.   
     Claims   
     Unless you have exercised your right to  opt out of this arbitration provision, as set forth in the paragraph below captioned 
     �Opt Out of Arbitration,� this arbitration provision shall apply to any Claim (defined below) by or against us, or you or any 
     other Covered Person (defined below). You agr ee any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether based upon contract; tort, 
     intentional or otherwise; constitution; statute; common law; or equity and whether preexisting, present or future), including 
     initial claims, counterclaims, cross - claims and third pa rty claims, arising from or relating to (a) this Agreement, the 
     application, your Account, any debt cancellation or debt suspension product, any fraud prevention, identity protection or 
     other account enhancement products, any transaction or activity involv ing any payment or failure to make payment on 
     your Account, or any solicitation, advertisement, promotion, or oral or written statements related to this Agreement or your 
     Account or any of the foregoing, or (b) the relationships which result from this Agre ement and your relationship with any 
     Covered Person in connection with the matters set forth in  subsection (a) of this paragraph  (any of the foregoing a 
     �Claim�), shall be resolved, upon the election of you, us, or any other Covered Person described belo w, by binding 
     arbitration pursuant to this arbitration provision and the applicable rules or procedures of the arbitration administrator (the 
     �Administrator�) selected at the time the Claim is filed or received by a party to the Claim. However, �Claim� doe s not 
     include any dispute or controversy about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this arbitration provision or any 
     part thereof (including, without limitation, the paragraph below captioned �Parties to Arbitration and Class Action Waiver� 
     and/or this sentence); all such disputes or controversies are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any 
     dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a 
     court, to deci de.  
     Starting an Arbitration and Arbitration Administrators  
     If you or we elect to arbitrate a claim, the electing party must notify the other party in writing. This notice can be given after 
     the beginning of a lawsuit and can be given in papers filed in the  lawsuit. Otherwise, your notice must be sent to: HSBC 
     Bank Nevada, N.A., P.O. Box 98740, Las Vegas, NV 89193 - 8740, ATTN: ARBITRATION DEMAND and our notice must 
     be sent to the most recent address for you in our files. The party seeking arbitration must sel ect as the arbitration 
     administrator either the:  
     American Arbitration Association (�AAA�)

     If a party files a lawsuit in court asserting claim(s) that are subject to arbitration and the other party files a motion to 
     compel arbitration with the court which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party prosecuting the Claim(s) to 
     com mence the arbitration proceeding. If neither the AAA nor JAMS is able or willing to handle the dispute, then the court 
     will appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer with more than ten years experience or a retired or former judge. 
     The rules  and forms of JAMS and AAA may be obtained by writing to these organizations at the addresses listed above. 
     The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court, nor by state or 
     local laws that relate to a rbitration proceedings. If you or we request, the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege 
     recognized under applicable law and will use best efforts to protect confidential business, financial or trade secret 
     information of a party (including through use  of protective orders).  
     Small Claims Exemption  
     We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate an individual Claim you may bring in small claims court or an equivalent court, 
     if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. However, if that Claim i s transferred or appealed to a different 
     court, we reserve our right to elect arbitration at such time.  
     Location of Arbitration and Fees  
     Any participatory arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in a location that is reasonably convenient to wh ere 
     you reside. On any Claim you file, you will pay the first $50 of the filing fee. At your request we will pay the remainder of 
     the filing fee and any administrative, arbitrator or hearing fees charged by the Administrator or arbitrator on any Claim 
     subm itted by you in arbitration up to a maximum of $2,500. If you are required to pay any additional fees to the 
     Administrator or arbitrator, we will consider a request by you to pay all or part of the additional fees; however, we shall not 
     be obligated to pay  any additional fees unless the arbitrator grants you an award. If the arbitrator grants an award in your 
     favor, we will reimburse you for any additional fees paid or owed by you to the Administrator or arbitrator. The parties shall 
     bear the expense of the ir respective attorney�s and expert witness fees and costs, except as otherwise provided by law. If 
     a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, or the fees paid to the Administrator or arbitrator, these statutory 
     rights shall apply in the a rbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein. To the extent that such a 
     statute is not applicable, we will pay your reasonable attorney�s and expert witness fees and costs to the extent you 
     prevail on Claims you assert against us in  an arbitration which you have commenced against us or to the extent required 
     under applicable law for this arbitration provision to be enforced. If the arbitrator issues an award in our favor, you will not 
     be required to reimburse us for any fees we have  previously paid to the Administrator or arbitrator or for which we are 
     responsible or for any attorneys� fees or costs we have incurred in prosecuting or defending against Claims in an 
     arbitration.  
     Covered Persons  
     This arbitration provision covers Claims b y or against (a) us, any corporate parent, subsidiary, or affiliate, any predecessor 
     or successor of the foregoing, and any officer, director, employee, or representative of any of the aforementioned, (b) you 
     and any authorized user, and any other person c laiming through you or any authorized user, and (c) any other person or 
     company assisting us in offering Cards, administering Accounts or providing Card related benefits or services if you assert 
     a Claim against such other person or company in connection w ith a Claim you assert against any person or entity 
     specified in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph. All of the aforesaid persons and entities are �Covered Persons� for 
     purposes of this arbitration provision.    
     Parties to Arbitration and Class Action Waive r  
     Arbitration shall be conducted in the name of individually named parties. Unless all parties consent, neither you 
     nor we may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims regarding two or more accounts, individuals, or account 
     holders in the same arbitrat ion, other than Covered Persons, joint applicants or authorized users of an account. 
     There shall be no class actions, private attorney general actions, or other representative or collective actions, in 
     an arbitration, even if the underlying dispute has bee n asserted in a court as a class action, private attorney 
     general action, or other representative or collective action. No party may advance a Claim in arbitration on behalf 
     of or against a person in a representative or collective capacity, or on behalf of  or against a person who is not an 
     individually named party to the arbitration; nor may a party seek an award or benefit in arbitration on behalf of or 
     against a person who is not an individually named party. The arbitrator shall not have authority to reso lve any 
     claim advanced by or on behalf of anyone who is not an individually named party, and shall not have the 
     authority to make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone who is not an individually named party. No class 
     actions or joinder or consoli dation of any Claim with the claim of any other person are permitted in arbitration 
     without the express written consent of you and us. These limitations are hereafter referred to as the �Class 
     Action Waiver.�  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary , the Class Action Waiver does not apply to any lawsuit 
     or administrative proceeding filed against us by a state or federal government agency even when such agency is seeking 
     relief on behalf of a class of borrowers including you.  This means that we will  not have the right to compel arbitration of 
     any claim brought by such an agency. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver is material 
     and essential to the arbitration of any Claims between the parties and is nonseverable from  this arbitration provision. If the 
     Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties� agreement to arbitrate (except for this 
     sentence) shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the  limitation or invalidation 
     of the Class Action Waiver. You and we acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be 
     arbitrated.   
     Decision and Appeal  
     The arbitrator�s decision will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal  provided by the FAA. However, if the 
     amount of the Claim exceeds $50,000 or involves a request for injunctive or declaratory relief that could foreseeably 
     involve a cost or benefit to either party exceeding $50,000, any party can, within 30 days after the  entry of the award by 
     the arbitrator, appeal the award to a three - arbitrator panel administered by the Administrator. The panel shall reconsider 
     anew any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party. The decision of the panel shall be by m ajority vote. 
     Reference in this arbitration provision to �the arbitrator� shall mean the panel if an appeal of the arbitrator�s decision has 
     been taken. The costs of such an appeal will be borne in accordance with the paragraph above captioned �Location of  
     Arbitration and Fees.� Any final decision of the appeal panel is subject to judicial review only as provided under the FAA.   
     Consequences of Electing Arbitration  
     THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE 
     A JU DGE OR JURY, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES 
     HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT 
     BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY EITHER PARTY. MOREOVER,  IF A PARTY 
     ELECTS TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, THAT CLAIM CANNOT BE THE SUBJECT OF A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER 
     REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION.  
     Miscellaneous  
     This arbitration provision shall survive termination of your Account as well as the repa yment of all amounts borrowed 
     hereunder and shall also survive any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. In the event of a 
     conflict or inconsistency between any other provisions of this Agreement or the rules and procedures of  the Administrator, 
     on the one hand, and this arbitration provision, on the other hand, this arbitration provision shall govern.  
     Notice and Cure; Special Payment  
     Prior to initiating a Claim, you may give us a written Claim Notice describing the basis of yo ur Claim and the amount you 
     would accept in resolution of the Claim, and a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim. Any 
     Claim Notice you send must also provide your name and account number, as well as your address and a phone nu mber 
     where you can be reached during normal business hours. Such a Claim Notice must be sent to us at HSBC, c/o HSBC 
     Bank Nevada, N.A., P.O Box 98740, Las Vegas, NV 89193 - 8740. This is the sole and only method by which you can 
     submit a Claim Notice. If (i)  you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with this Paragraph on your own behalf (and not on 
     behalf of any other party); (ii) you cooperate with us by promptly providing the information we reasonably request; (iii) we 
     refuse to provide you with the relief y ou request; and (iv) the arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to 
     such relief (or greater relief), you will be entitled to a minimum award of at least $7,500 (not including any arbitration fees 
     and attorneys� fees and costs to which you  will also be entitled). We encourage you to address all Claims you have in a 
     single Claim Notice and/or a single arbitration. Accordingly, this $7,500 minimum award is a single award that applies to 
     all Claims you have asserted or could have asserted in t he arbitration, and multiple awards of $7,500 are not 
     contemplated.  
     Opt Out of Arbitration  
     You may reject this arbitration provision without penalty. To do so, you must send HSBC, c/o HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A., 
     P.O Box 98740, Las Vegas, NV 89193 - 8740 a signed  writing (�Rejection Notice�) that is received within thirty (30) days 
     after the date you receive this arbitration provision. The Rejection Notice must identify the transaction involved and must 
     include your name, address, and social security number and mu st be signed by all persons contractually obligated on 
     your account. You may send the Rejection Notice in any manner you see fit as long as it is received at the specified 
     address within the specified time. No other methods can be used to reject the arbitr ation provision. If the Rejection Notice 
     is sent on your behalf by a third party, such third party must include evidence of his or her authority to submit the 
     Rejection Notice on your behalf. You agree that our business records will be final and conclusive  with respect to whether 
     you rejected this arbitration provision in a timely and proper fashion.

     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 let ter, 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 in vestigate 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 amoun t.  
     � 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:

     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 pu rchase 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:  
     HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A.

     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
