How We Calculate Your Balance Subject to Interest Rate: We use a method called "Daily Balance (Including Current Transactions)." See your
account agreement for more details.
Billing Rights: Information on your rights to dispute transactions and how to exercise those rights is provided in your account agreement.
*Annual Fee: We will waive part or all of the Annual Fee for cardholders who authorize us to initiate recurring charges to the deposit accounts by
electronic funds transfer ("EFT") and/or agree to receive electronic billing statements as described in Section 8(A) of the Account Agreement.
CARDHOLDER AGREEMENT
This Cardholder Agreement contains the general terms and conditions that will govern your credit card account (the "Account"), and the credit card
we issue for Account access (the "Card"), if we approve your application for an Account. The Account application you signed or otherwise submitted
to
us (including its federal and state notices), and any written materials we may provide with your Card or as a supplement or amendment to
this
Cardholder Agreement, are part of and incorporated into this Cardholder Agreement by reference (together, our "Agreement" with you).
In
this Agreement, the words "you" and "your" mean each applicant (as an individual) and all applicants (as a group) shown on the Account
application, and anyone else you authorize or permit to use your Account. The words "we," "us," and "our," mean First Electronic Bank, the financial
institution that provides the Account and issues the Cards, and its assigns and successors. When the Agreement states that we "may" take an
action, this means that we are allowed and have the sole discretion to take that action, subject only to any limitations or notices expressly required by
law or this Agreement. You accept and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions in this Agreement, including its arbitration provision,
the first time any of you use your Account.
Oral agreements or commitments to loan money, extend credit or to forbear from enforcing repayment of a debt, including promises to extend or
review such debt, are not enforceable. To protect you (borrower(s)) and us (creditor) from misunderstanding or disappointment, any agreements we
reach covering such matters are contained in this writing, which is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between us, except as we
may later agree in writing to modify it.
1. USE OF CARD: Subject to the terms and conditions in the Agreement, you may use your Account to purchase goods and services from the
merchants and providers (each, a "Participant") that have agreed to participate in the credit card program we provide with assistance from Dent-A-
Med, Inc. d/b/a HC Processing Center. Before you attempt or agree to use the Account and Card to purchase any goods or services on credit from a
Participant, you must notify the Participant that you intend to charge your purchase to your Card and obtain the Participant's approval for the Card
purchase. We will not extend Account credit to you for any purchase, unless you notified and obtained approval from a Participant for that purchase.
We will not be liable to you if a participant or any merchant refuses to honor your Account and Card for any purchase. The Participant will prepare
and submit a charge slip to us for Account purchases or submit an Account charge to us electronically for payment.

2. ACCOUNT BILLING STATEMENTS AND NOTICES; ADDRESS ON FILE: If you have a credit or debit balance on the Account of $1 or more at
the end of any billing period, we will send a periodic Account statement (a "bill") showing what you owe us as of the end of that billing period. We
may not send you a bill, however, if we have decided your Account is uncollectible, if we have sent the Account for collection proceedings against
you, or if the law does not require or permit us to send the bill. The billing period is the fixed period of time covered by the bill we send you. Each bill
that we send will identify the billing period that it covers. The bill will show your new charges, including interest and fees, and any payments that
posted to your Account during that period. It will also show you the minimum payment you must make to us by the due date shown on the bill. You
agree to examine each bill and notify us immediately of any item you may dispute. The billing error rights notice in this Agreement and on your bills
provides more information about how you may notify us about any disputed items or billing errors. We will mail or deliver your bill only to one
address.
If your Account is a joint Account or more than one person is permitted to use the Account, you agree that we may send all Account bills and other
Account notices solely to your address on file, as shown in our billing records. Your address on file is the address you provided in your Account
application, unless: (a) we have received and processed a notice of a change in address that you provided in accordance with this Agreement or
your most recent bill; or (b) we are notified by the U.S. Postal Service of an address correction for you and we decide, in good faith, to rely on the
address correction notice we receive from the Postal Service. You agree to notify us immediately of any change in your mailing address, telephone
numbers, or other contact information, such as your email addresses.
3. BALANCE CATEGORIES: We put each charge on your Account, including interest and fees, into a balance category. We use the different
balances to calculate the correct interest charges on your Account. If any type of charge is subject to a separate promotional interest rate, deferred
interest, and/or reduced or deferred payment requirements (each, a "Promotional Balance") we will put the Promotional Balance into a separate
balance for the time period you qualify for the special promotional terms ("Promotional Terms").
4. AUTHORIZED USERS AND AUTHORIZED CHARGES: If you give your Card or Account number to another person, he or she is an authorized
user. In addition, if we agree to issue a Card on this Account to another person at your request, he or she is an authorized user. An authorized
charge is any charge you or any authorized user makes on the Account, and any fees and interest charges owing on the Account. Any charge made
by an authorized user is an authorized charge. This is true even if you told the authorized user not to make that specific charge. A charge will still be
authorized, even if it causes your Account to exceed its credit limit, is an illegal transaction, or is made after your Account is closed. An authorized
charge can be made over the telephone, in person, on the Internet, or in any other way your Account can be used.
5. PAYMENTS
A. Promise to Pay: You agree to pay all authorized charges on each bill, including interest and fees. You agree to pay us for any charges that we
allow over your Account credit limit. You promise to pay at least the minimum payment by the due date shown on each bill.
B. Payment Due Date; Payment Requirements: The due date is the date by which we must receive your payment for it to be on time. Your bill lists
the due date, which will fall on the same calendar day of the month. Your due date will be at least 21 days from the date we send you the bill and at
least 25 days from the end of the most recently ended billing period. To be on time, we must receive your payment on or before the due date at the
place and by the time stated on your bill. Unless a bill states a different place for payments, your payments must be sent to: HC Processing Center,
P.O. Box 268808, Oklahoma City, OK 73126 (regular mail); or HC Processing Center, 380 Data Drive, Suite 200, Draper, UT 84020 (overnight
courier). Unless a bill states a different time, your payment is on time if we receive it by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the due date. This 5:00 p.m.
deadline is measured by the time zone in which we receive the payment, which may not be your time zone. If we do not receive or accept payments
by mail on the due date, your payment will be on time if it is received by the next day that we accept or receive payments by mail.
You must pay in U.S. dollars. You must not pay in cash. Your payment must be drawn on a U.S. deposit account or by a cashier's check drawn on
a
U.S. bank or a foreign bank branch in the U.S. You must not attach or include any restrictive language to your payment. Any check or money order
you send that has restrictive words, conditions, limitations, or special instructions to us, including those marked with words "paid in full"
or similar language, must be mailed to: HC Processing Center, P.O. Box 708670, Sandy, UT 84070. If you make payments in a paper form
(such as check, money order, or cashier's check), you must include the payment coupon from your bill or write your Account number on the
payment. If we decide, in our discretion, to accept a form of payment that does not meet these payment instructions, you agree that we are not
waiving our right to require you to make or continue making payments that comply with these instructions and are otherwise required by the
Agreement. The credit available on your Account will be increased by the amount of your payment within 14 days after we receive your payment.
You can also make a Payment or set up automatic payments by calling 1-877-486-3442. Automatic payments for the billing period shown on your
statement will be deducted on the Payment Due Date shown on that statement, or the next automatic payment date referred to on your statement,
unless you request a recurring payment date that occurs before your Payment Due Date. If your scheduled payment date falls on a Sunday or
bank holiday, your payment will be processed the business day prior to the weekend or bank holiday. In order to schedule monthly payments
Commented [GA1]: The Bank has been advised that the
by telephone, you will need this statement and your bank account information. You will be asked to provide the last four (4) digits of your social
industry standard is to withdraw the payment the next
security number as your electronic signature. By providing those numbers, you will be agreeing to the authorization to allow us and your bank to
business day if the payment due date falls on a weekend or
deduct each authorized payment, in the amount selected by you, from your bank account. You also authorize us to initiate debit or credit entries to
holiday. This revision will be approved but expectations are
your bank account, as applicable, to correct an error in the processing of such payment. You can cancel a scheduled payment by phone at 1-877-
that the process will be changed for the next approval.
486-3442 or by mail at HC Processing Center, PO Box 708670, Sandy, UT 84070; payment cancellations must be received before 5 PM CT of the
scheduled withdrawal date.

Form #400BVMESE1 valid from 06.28.2018 to 01.30.2019
C. Minimum Payment: The bill we send to you will state your due date and the minimum amount you must pay by that due date (your "minimum
payment" or the "minimum payment due" in this Agreement and on your bill). If you do not pay the minimum payment by its due date, we may charge
you a late payment fee. You will also be in breach of this Agreement. You may pay all or part of your Account balance at any time. However, for each
bill, you must pay at least the minimum payment by the due date stated on the bill. If any Promotional Terms apply that modify the payment
requirements with respect to a Promotional Balance, then those Promotional Terms will explain how we determine the minimum payment due with
respect to these Promotional Balances.
As of the end of the billing period covered by the bill, we start by determining the amount that is the greater of: (i) the full unpaid balance of your
Account, if this is less than $25.00; (ii) $25.00, if the balance is at least $25.00; (iii) 4.00% of the Highest Balance (excluding any Promotional
Balances whose Promotional Terms make those Promotional Balances subject to different payment requirements). Then, we determine the
minimum payment due for any Promotional Balances whose Promotional Terms modify the payment requirements for these Promotional Balances;
or (iv) the sum of 1.0% of the Highest Balance (excluding any Promotional Balances whose Promotional Terms make those Promotional Balances
subject to different payment requirements), plus all interest charges, late payment fees, and returned payment fees then due for the Account. Then,
we determine whether there are any Account payments that are past due or balances that exceed the credit limit of your Account. Finally, we
calculate your minimum payment due by adding together all the amounts described in this paragraph and rounding the result up to the nearest whole
dollar. If you pay more than the minimum payment due after the end of any billing period, you must still pay at least the minimum payment due after
the end of each billing period after that.
D. Payment Allocation: We choose which Account balances to pay with your minimum payment. We generally apply payments above the minimum
payment to balances with the highest APRs first, except that we may apply the part of your payment that exceeds the minimum payment first to any
deferred interest balances during the last two billing periods of a deferred interest period.
6. TYPES OF CHARGES: There are two types of charges or "Plans" under your Account: you may make a purchase on (a) the Regular Plan or (b)
a
Promotional Plan. The standard provisions of this Agreement apply to all Promotional Plan transactions unless otherwise specified prior to or at the
time of purchase under a particular Promotional Plan offering, and will continue to apply to any and all transactions that are not subject to a
Promotional Plan. The following Promotional Plan may be offered from time to time as specified prior to or at the time of purchase: Deferred Interest
(a) Monthly Payment Plan - If you pay the full cash sales price of the purchase by the promotional due date, as indicated on your billing
statement, and pay the Minimum Payment Due when due each billing cycle, as indicated on your billing statement, no interest charges will
be imposed on the purchase. If such payments are not so made, interest charges will be imposed from the purchase date. (b) Reduced
Interest Monthly Payment Plan - If you pay the full cash sales price of the purchase by the promotional due date, as indicated on your
billing statement, and pay the Minimum Payment Due when due each billing cycle, as indicated on your billing statement, reduced interest
charges will be imposed on the purchase. If such payments are not made, the fully indexed APR will be imposed from the default date
forward.
7. INTEREST RATES AND INTEREST CHARGES:
A. APRs Applied to Different Balances: The "annual percentage rate" or "APR" is an annualized interest rate. We use the APR that applies to each
balance to calculate the interest charges that you owe us on the Account. Different APRs may apply to different balances on your Account, such as
purchases subject to the standard APR and any qualifying purchases we may allow you to make subject to deferred interest or a promotional APR.
B. Variable APRs: All your Account APRs are variable, unless we specifically state that a non-variable APR applies in connection with a deferred
interest or promotional APR program. Variable APRs increase or decrease based on changes in the Prime Rate. For the Prime Rate, we use the
U.S. Prime Rate that The Wall Street Journal publishes on the Friday that follows the last Thursday of each month (the "Determination Date"). If The
Wall Street Journal no longer publishes a Prime Rate, we will use a similar published rate that we choose as a substitute. Any increase or decrease
to a variable APR based on a change in the Prime Rate will apply to your Account balances and purchases as of the first day of the billing period that
begins after a Determination Date. Any increase in an APR that applies to your Account may cause an increase to your minimum required monthly
payment.
C. Standard APR: We determine your standard APR by adding a margin of 24.99 percentage points to the Prime Rate. Currently, the standard APR
of 29.74% applies to your account (corresponding to a Daily Periodic Rate of 0.081479%).
D. Use of Daily Balance Method with Compounding: We calculate the interest charge on your account by applying the "daily periodic rate" for
that balance to the "daily balance" of that balance. We do this for each day in the billing period and add together the resulting interest charges. That
gives us the total interest charges for that balance for that billing period. You agree that we may round interest charges to the nearest cent.
The "daily periodic rate" is a daily interest rate. The daily periodic rate for a given balance is equal to the APR for that balance divided by 365.
We calculate the "daily balance" for each balance. We do this by starting with the beginning amount of that balance for each day. We add any new
purchases and Account fees for that day, add any interest on the previous daily balance if there is one in that billing period, and subtract any
payments or credits. This gives us the "daily balance." The addition of the prior day's interest to the daily balance calculation causes interest to
compound daily. We add all Account fees and minimum interest charges to the daily balance of purchases subject to the standard APR. Any daily
balance that is less than zero will be treated as zero. Each "Balance Subject to Interest Rate" shown on your bill will be an average of the daily
balances during the billing period for that balance.

Form #400BVMESE1 valid from 06.28.2018 to 01.30.2019
E. When Interest Charges Begin; Grace Period: The "New Balance" of your Account is the full unpaid balance of your Account that is outstanding
as of the end of each billing period covered by each bill. As long as you continue to pay the New Balance every month by the due date listed on your
bill, there will be a grace period on your Account purchases and we will not charge interest on those purchases. If you do not pay by the due date the
New Balance that is outstanding as of the end of a given billing period, there will be no grace period and you will owe interest on the unpaid Account
balances from the end of that billing period. After the end of that billing period, all charges will accrue interest from the date they were made. To take
advantage of the grace period again, you must pay your New Balance in full, make no new purchases, and pay on time for as much as two billing
periods in a row.
F. Minimum Interest Charges: You must pay a minimum of $2.00 of interest after any billing period in which you owe any interest charges.
8. FEES:
A.
Annual Fee: In the first billing period your Account has a purchase, we will charge a $59.00 annual fee to your Account. Thereafter you will be
Commented [GA2]: This should be $79.
charged this annual fee on or about the anniversary of the first charge to your Account (your "Anniversary Date"), so long as your account has an
unpaid balance or remains open for new purchases. We will notify you about this annual fee before each Anniversary Date. Our notice will explain
when and how you may close your Account to future purchases and pay the full unpaid balance if you do not want to be charged this annual fee on
an Anniversary Date. If you authorize us to provide periodic statements electronically (e-statements) through our website (www.hccredit.com), you
will not be charged $29 of this annual fee on an Anniversary Date. If you authorize us to be paid automatically each month by electronic funds
transfer (EFT) from your deposit account, you will not be charged $50 of this annual fee on an Anniversary Date.
B. Returned Payment Fee: If your payment is returned unpaid to us for any reason, we will charge a $27.00 returned payment fee to your Account.
C. Late Payment Fee: If you do not pay at least the minimum payment due by its due date, we will charge a $27.00 late payment fee to your
Account. If you do not pay the minimum payments due by their due dates more than once during any six-month period, we will charge a $38.00 late
payment fee to your Account. After that, your late payment fee will not return to $27.00, until you make at least the minimum payment due by its due
date for six consecutive months.
D. Additional Account Fees: We will charge additional fees to your Account for certain services that you may request in connection with your
Account. The additional fees we may charge to your Account for Account services include, but are not limited to, the following: a $10.00 per page fee
for copies of documents unrelated to a billing error; a $5.00 fee to issue a replacement Card; a $9.95 expedited payment fee each time you request
expedited assistance from our live customer service representative or agent to make an automated payment of your Account; and a $15.00
expedited service fee each time you request expedited assistance from us for reasons other than completing an Account payment (for example, to
request an Account balance or payoff letter from us within three business days). You may contact us at 877-486-3442 at any time with questions
about these and other Account services, or to request a schedule of other Account fees that we may require for particular services that are not listed
here.
9. CREDIT LIMIT: We will establish a credit limit for your Account. You agree that you will not use or permit others to use your Account to obtain
credit if it would cause the outstanding balance of your Account to exceed its credit limit. However, we may, at our option, without waiving any of our
rights, permit charges to your Account, even if those charges would cause your outstanding Account balance to exceed its credit limit. We will not
assess a fee if we elect to honor charges that cause your Account to exceed its credit limit.
10. ENTIRE BALANCE DUE: If you break your promises under this Agreement, you understand and agree that we may demand that you pay the
entire outstanding balance of your Account at once, subject to any legally required notices and limitations of applicable law. We may also do this if
you made any false or misleading statements on your application, if you become insolvent or are subject to bankruptcy proceedings, or if you die, to
the extent permitted by and in accordance with applicable law.
11. COLLECTION COSTS: To the extent permitted by law, you promise to pay all the costs we incur to collect your Account, including reasonable
and allowable attorney's fees.
12. JOINT ACCOUNTS: If this is a joint Account, each of you is responsible as an individual and all of you are responsible as a group for all amounts
that are owed in connection with the Account. Each of you is responsible, even if the Account is used by only one of you. You will continue to be
liable for the entire balance of the Account, even if your co-applicant or co-borrower is ordered by a court to pay us. You will remain liable to us if
your co-applicant or co-borrower fails to pay as ordered by the court. Your Account status will continue to be reported to the credit bureau under
each of your names. The delivery of Account notices or bills to any of you serves as delivery of those notices and bills to all of you. We may rely on
and comply with instructions given by any of you with respect to the Account. We are not liable to any of you for relying on or complying with
instructions given by any of you.
13.
NOTICES, CHANGES OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION, AND METHODS OF CONTACT: We can include numbers and addresses from which
you contact us as numbers you provide. We may obtain address corrections from the U.S. Postal Service and telephone numbers and other contact
information from third party sources. You consent to us, as well as any other owner or servicer of your account, contacting you through any channel

at any time, and the new terms that apply to your Account will take effect on the day we specify. If the law requires us to notify you in a certain way,
or limit the effect of any change in Account or Agreement terms, we will comply.
17. AUTHORIZATION FOR RELEASE OF CREDIT INFORMATION: We may report information about your Account to credit bureaus. Late
payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your Account may be reflected in your credit report. Tell us if you think we reported wrong

Agreement. We assign this Agreement if we sell or pass to a third party any or all our rights or obligations under the Agreement, including any
amount that you owe under the Agreement. Depending on what we may assign, any party to which we assign this Agreement will enjoy all our rights
under the Agreement, including the contractual rights to collect amounts you owe on the Account. You cannot assign or transfer this Agreement or
any of your rights or duties to anyone else.
19. LOST OR STOLEN; LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE: If you notice the loss or theft of your Card or a possible unauthorized use of your

to control all Account transactions, without regard to choice-of-law principles.
25. ARBITRATION: THIS PROVISION WILL NOT APPLY TO YOUR ACCOUNT IF YOU ARE A "COVERED BORROWER" AS DEFINED IN THE
MILITARY LENDING ACT. All OTHERS, PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT REJECT IT, THIS SECTION WILL
APPLY TO YOUR ACCOUNT, AND MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. THIS
MEANS THAT: (1) NEITHER A COURT NOR A JURY WILL RESOLVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE
IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING; (3) LESS INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE
LIMITED.
A. What claims (including initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, and third-party claims) are subject to arbitration:
i. If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you or any other user of your account,
and us, our affiliates, agents and/or dealers/merchants/retailers that accept the card or program sponsors if it relates to your account, except as
noted in this section below.
ii. We will not require you to arbitrate: any individual case in small claims court or your state's equivalent court, as long as it remains an individual
case in that court.
iii. Notwithstanding any other language in this section, only a court, not an arbitrator, will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage
or scope of this section or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the next paragraph of this section and/or this sentence). 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 decide.
Page 5 of 11
Form #400BVMESE1 valid from 06.28.2018 to 01.30.2019
B. NO CLASS ACTIONS: YOU AGREE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION
AGAINST US IN COURT OR ARBITRATION. ALSO, YOU MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS (INCLUDING INITIAL CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS,
CROSS-CLAIMS AND THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS) AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY ACCOUNTHOLDER WHO IS NOT AN ACCOUNTHOLDER
ON YOUR ACCOUNT, AND YOU AGREE THAT ONLY ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE JOINED IN A SINGLE
ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE.
If a court determines that this paragraph is not fully enforceable, only this sentence will remain in force and the remainder will be null and void, and
the court's determination shall be subject to appeal. This paragraph 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.
C. How to start an arbitration, and the arbitration process
i. The party who wants to arbitrate must notify the other party in writing. This notice can be given after the beginning of a lawsuit or in papers filed in
the lawsuit. Otherwise, your notice must be sent to HC Processing Center, P.O. Box 708670, Sandy, UT 84070, ATTN: ARBITRATION DEMAND.
The party seeking arbitration must select an arbitration administrator, which can be either the American Arbitration Association (AAA), 1633
Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, www.adr.org, (800) 778-7879, or JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018,
www.jamsadr.com, (800) 352-5267. If neither administrator is able or willing to handle the dispute, then the court will appoint an arbitrator.
ii. If a party files a lawsuit in court asserting claim(s) that are subject to arbitration and the other party files a motion with the court to compel
arbitration, which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party asserting the claim(s) to commence the arbitration proceeding.
iii. The arbitration administrator will appoint the arbitrator and will tell the parties what to do next. The arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least 10
years of legal experience. Once appointed, the arbitrator must apply the same law and legal principles, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act
(FAA), that would apply in court, but may use different procedural rules. If the administrator's rules conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement will
control.
iv. The arbitration will take place by phone or at a reasonably convenient location. We will always pay arbitration costs, as well as your legal fees and
costs, to the extent you prevail on claims you assert against us in an arbitration proceeding which you have commenced.
D. Governing Law for Arbitration
This Arbitration section of your Agreement is governed by the FAA. Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant under the FAA. The
arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the
arbitrator's award.
E. Pre-Dispute Resolution Procedure
Before you or we bring any dispute or claim, the complaining party shall give the defending party: (i) a claim notice providing at least 30 days' written
notice of the claim and explaining in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and any supporting facts; and (ii) a reasonable, good-faith opportunity
to resolve the claim on an individual basis without the necessity of any proceeding. If you are the complaining party, you must send any claim notice
to us at HC Processing Center, Legal Department, P.O. Box 708670, Sandy, UT 84070. If we are the complaining party, we will send the claim
notice to you at your address appearing in our records or, if you are represented by an attorney, to your attorney at his or her office address. If
the
complaining party and the defending party do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the claim notice is received, the
complaining party may commence an arbitration subject to the terms of this Arbitration section of your Agreement. No settlement demand or
settlement offer may be used in any proceeding as evidence or as an admission of any liability or damages.
F. Special Payment
If: (i) you submit a claim notice in an arbitration on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party) and comply with all the requirements of this
Arbitration section of your Agreement; (ii) we refuse to provide you with the money damages you request; and (iii) the arbitrator issues you an award
that is greater than the latest money damages you requested at least 10 days before the date the arbitrator was selected, then we will pay you the
amount of the award or $7,500, whichever is greater, in addition to the attorneys' fees and expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) to
which you are otherwise entitled. We encourage you to include 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 the arbitration, and multiple
awards of $7,500 are not contemplated under this Arbitration section of your Agreement.
G. TO REJECT THIS SECTION:
You may reject this Arbitration section of your Agreement. If you do that, only a court may be used to resolve any dispute or claim. To
reject this section, you must send us a notice within 60 days after you open your account or we first provided you with your right to reject
this section. The notice must include your name, address and account number, and must be mailed to HC Processing Center, Legal
Department, P.O. Box 708670, Sandy, UT 84070. This is the only way you can reject this section.

Account on or after October 3, 2017 and, at the time your account is opened, you are a "covered borrower" as defined in the Military Lending Act,

ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than certain application fees for specified credit
transactions or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account).

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS: KEEP THIS DOCUMENT FOR FUTURE USE
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: HC Processing Center, P.O. Box 708970, Sandy, UT 84070.
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. 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 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:
1. 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.
2. If we do not believe there was a mistake: You must 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 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 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.
3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase. If all the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in
writing at: HC Processing Center, P.O. Box 708970, Sandy, UT 84070. 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.
