     Account Fees and Other INTEREST RATES  
      
     ABOUT YOUR APRs  
     Your APRs are shown on page 1.   
     A Daily Periodic Rate is used to dete rmine 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 percentage point.   
     PROMOTIONAL CREDIT PLANS   
     From time to time, we may offer one or more Prom otional 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 and are conditioned on your timely payment of at least the Minimum 
     Payment Due for each billin g 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 re pay 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 expiration 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 special repayment terms will be applied to the purchase for the specified period.  
     e) Special Repa yment 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.  
     Purchases 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 charges  
     on 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 subject to the minimum interest 
     charge shown in the chart.  
     For Same As Cash Plans, if inter est 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 Daily 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 other 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 opening 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 fees, if these apply;  
     then  
     �    subtract any payments and/or credits.  
     For any Same As Cash Cre dit 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 needed 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 beginning of the billing 
     cycle, we will make this adjustment:    
     � the applicable Daily Balance(s) a nd 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 Daily 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 each 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 Purch ases  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 those Plans at the beginning of the cycle is:  
     a)   zero; or  
     b)   a credit balance (e.g., less t han 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 promotional period.  
     3.  For Same As Cash Credit Plans:  No interest is charged if the full ca sh 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 p ayments 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 exp iring, in the order of expiration.

     ARBITRATION  
     Federal Arbitration Act  
     This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the 
     Federal A rbitration 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 with the FAA, that would apply if the matter had been brought in 
     court. The arbitrator sha ll provide written reasoned findings of fact and conclusions of law upon written request as set forth 
     in the applicable arbitration association procedures. The arbitrator�s award shall not be subject to appeal except as 
     permitted by the FAA and in the para graph 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 agree 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 party 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 involving any payment or failure to make payment on 
     your Account, or any solicitation, advertis ement, 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 Agreement and your relationship with any 
     Covered Person in connection with the matters set fo rth 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 below, 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� does 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 arbi trator 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 decide.  
     Starting an Arbitration and Arbitration Administrators  
     If you or we elect to arbitrat e 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 select as the arbitration 
     administrator either the:  
     American Arbitration Association (�AAA�)    
     1633 Broadway, 10th Floor        
     New York, NY 10019

     If a party files a lawsuit in court asserting claim(s) that are subject to arbitrati on 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 
     commence the arbitration proceeding. If neither the AAA nor JAMS is able or willing to handl e 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 addres ses 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 arbitration proceedings. If you or we request, the arbitrator will honor claims of privile ge 
     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 arbitra te 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 is 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 where 
     you reside. On any Claim you file, you will pay the first $50 of the filing fee. At y our 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 
     submitted by you in arbitration up to a maximum of $2,500. If you are required to pay any add itional 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 their 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 arbitration 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 appli cable 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 by or against (a) us, any corporate parent, subsidiary, or affiliate, any predecessor 
     or s uccessor 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 claiming 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 with 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 Waiver  
     Arbitration shall be conducted in the name of individually named parties. Unless all pa rties consent, neither you nor we 
     may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims regarding two or more accounts, individuals, or account holders in the 
     same arbitration, other than Covered Persons, joint applicants or authorized users of an account. Ther e shall be no class 
     actions, private attorney general actions, or other representative or collective actions, in an arbitration, even if the 
     underlying dispute has been asserted in a court as a class action, private attorney general action, or other repres entative 
     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 resolve 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 consolidation of any Claim with the claim of any other person are 
     permitted in arbitration witho ut 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 file d 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 part ies 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 unenfo rceable, 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 r equest 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 admin istered 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 majority 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 rev iew 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 
     JUDGE 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 ACTIO N OR OTHER 
     REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION.  
     Miscellaneous  
     This arbitration provision shall survive termination of your Account as well as the repayment of all amounts borrowed 
     hereunder and shall also survive any bankruptcy to the exte nt 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, t his 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 your Claim and the amount you 
     would accept in resolution of the Claim, and a reasonable opp ortunity, 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 number 
     where you can be reached during normal business hours. Such a Claim Notice must be s ent 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 you request; and (iv) the arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to 
     suc h 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 Clai m 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.  
     Opt Out of Arbitratio n  
     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 must be signed by all persons contractually obligated on 
     your account. You may send the Rej ection 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 arbitration provision. If the Rejection Notice 
     is sent on your behalf by a third party, such th ird 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 f ashion.

     � Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.  
     � At least 3 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 alre ady 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 i n 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 rem ainder 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 rela ted 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 wit hout 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 ab ove, 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 cred it 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 you r 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  at:  
     HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A.  
     PO Box 5893, Carol Stream, IL 60197 - 5893
