How We Will Calculate Your Balance:  We use a method called �daily balance.� See your credit card account agreement
below for more details. 2SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION
AEO, INC. VISA� CARD ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
How Interest Is Calculated
Your Interest Rate We use a daily rate to calculate the interest on the balance on your account each day. The daily rate is the
applicable APR times 1/365. Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in excess of those permitted
by applicable law.
The APR for purchases is the prime rate plus 22.74%. As of June 1, 2022, the daily rate for purchases
was .07327% (APR 26.74%).
The APR for cash advances is the prime rate plus 23.74%. As of June 1, 2022, the daily rate for cash advances
was .07600% (APR 27.74%).
Daily Rates May Vary.  The APRs and the daily rates on your account vary with the market based on the prime
rate. The prime rate for a billing cycle is the highest bank prime loan rate published in The Wall Street Journal in
its Money Rates section on the last business day of the calendar month preceding the first day of the billing cycle.
If the prime rate increases, the daily rates and APRs will increase. As a result, interest, your total minimum payment
and the number of payments it would take you to pay off your account balance may increase. We apply any
change in rates because of a prime rate change to your entire account balance. A change in the prime rate will
take effect on the first day of the first billing cycle after the change. We may select a new interest rate index if
the prime rate is not available.
When We Charge Interest Purchases. We charge interest on your purchases from the date you make the purchase until you pay the
purchase in full. See exceptions below.
lWe will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any purchases if:
1.You had no balance at the start of the billing cycle; OR
2.You had a balance at the start of the billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in
that billing cycle.
lWe will credit, as of the start of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate
to purchases if:
1.You had no balance at the start of the previous billing cycle; OR
2.You had a balance at the start of the previous billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due
date in the previous billing cycle.
Cash Advances.  We charge interest on your cash advances, and their related fees, from the date you make the
transaction until you pay them in full. You cannot avoid paying interest on cash advances or their related fees.
How We Calculate Interest We figure the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the daily
rate to the daily balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the following
balance types, as applicable: purchases, cash advances and balances subject to different interest rates, plans
or special promotions. See below for how this works.
1. How to get the daily balance: We take the starting balance each day, add any new charges and fees, and
subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance.
We apply fees to balance types as follows:
(a) late payment fees are treated as new purchases;
(b) debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each balance;
(c) cash advance fees are added to the cash advance balance; and
(d) foreign transaction fees are added to the purchase balance.
2. How to get the daily interest amount: We multiply each daily balance by the daily rate that applies.
3. How to get the starting balance for the next day: We add the daily interest amount in step 2 to the daily
balance from step 1.
4. How to get the interest charge for the billing cycle: We add all the daily interest amounts that were charged
during the billing cycle.
We charge a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest. This charge is added
proportionately to each balance type. 3How Fees Work
Cash Advance Fee We will charge this fee for each cash advance you make. For ATM cash advances this fee is in addition to any
fee the ATM owner may charge you for use of the ATM.
Foreign Transaction Fee We will charge this fee for purchases or cash advances you make in currencies other than U.S. dollars and/or in
a country other than the U.S., whether or not the transaction was in a foreign currency.
If you make a transaction with your account in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Visa U.S.A. Inc. (�Visa�) will
convert the transaction amount into U.S. dollars using its currency conversion procedure. Under the currency
conversion procedure that Visa currently uses, the non-U.S. dollar transaction amount is converted into a U.S.
dollar amount by multiplying the transaction amount in the non-U.S. dollar currency by a currency conversion
rate. Currently, Visa operating regulations provide that the currency conversion rate is either (1) a rate selected
by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing
date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or (2) the government-mandated rate in effect for the
applicable central processing date. The currency conversion rate that is in effect on the central processing date
may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or the posting date, and may be higher than the rate
you could have gotten if you had converted U.S. dollars into the foreign currency.
Late Payment Fee We will charge  this fee if we do not receive the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on
the due date. This fee is equal to:
1. $30, if you have paid your total minimum payment due by the due date in each of the prior six billing cycles.
OR
2. $41, if you have failed to pay your total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the
prior six billing cycles.
The late payment fee will not be more than the total minimum payment that was due.
Minimum Payment Calculation
Your total minimum payment is calculated as follows.
The greater of:
1. $30, or $41 (which includes any past due amounts) if you have failed to pay the total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the
prior six billing cycles.
OR
2. The sum of:
a.Any past due amounts; PLUS
b.1% of your new balance shown on your billing statement (excluding any balance in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique
payment calculation); PLUS
c.Any late payment fees charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS
d.All interest charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS
e.Any payment due in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment calculation.
We round up to the next highest whole dollar in figuring your total minimum payment. Your total minimum payment will never be more than your new
balance.

also may decline any particular charge on your account for any reason.
Credit Limit.  You will be assigned a credit limit and cash advance limit on your account that we may increase or decrease from time to time. If we
approve a transaction that makes you go over your credit limit or your cash advance limit, we do not give up any rights under this Agreement and we

Payments received after 5 p.m. (ET) will be credited as of the next day. You may at any time pay, in whole or in part, the total unpaid balance without
any additional charge for prepayment. If you have a balance subject to interest, earlier payment may reduce the amount of interest you will pay. We may
delay making credit available on your account in the amount of your payment even though we will credit your payment when we receive it.

make expedited phone payments. Your payment must be made in U.S. dollars by physical or electronic check, money order or a similar instrument

RESOLVING A DISPUTE WITH ARBITRATION
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.
1. CLAIMS AND PARTIES. If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you
(including any other user of your account), and us (including our parents, affiliates, agents, employees, officers, and assignees) that directly or
indirectly arises from or relates to your account, your account Agreement or our relationship, except as noted below. In addition, AEO, Inc. and/
or any assignee, agent, or service provider of ours that collects amounts due on your account are intended beneficiaries of this Arbitration section
and may enforce it in full (notwithstanding any state law to the contrary).
2. This Arbitration section broadly covers claims, including counterclaims, based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional
torts, negligence, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity and claims for money damages and injunctive or declaratory
relief, even if they arose before this section took effect. You may not sell, assign or transfer a claim.
3. Examples of claims subject to arbitration are disputes about an account transaction, fees, charges or interest, the events leading up to the
Agreement (such as any disclosures, advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements, warranties or representations made by us), an
application for or denial of credit, any product or service provided by us or third parties in connection with the Agreement, credit reporting,
benefit programs related to your account including any reward program, the collection of amounts due by our assignees, service providers, or
agents and the manner of collection.
4. However, we will not require you to arbitrate any individual case in small claims court or your state�s equivalent court, so long as it remains an
individual case in that court. Also, even if all parties have opted to litigate a claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any
claim made by a new party or any claim later asserted by a party in any related or unrelated lawsuit, including modifying an individual claim to
assert a class, representative or multi-party claim. Arbitration may be requested at any time, even where there is a pending lawsuit, unless a
trial has begun, or a final judgment entered.
5. Only a court will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration section or any part thereof. However, any
dispute that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator to decide.
6. NO CLASS ACTIONS . IF EITHER YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT (A) TO
PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN COURT OR IN
ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER, OR (B) TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS WITH CLAIMS OF
ANY OTHER PERSONS EXCEPT ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT. THUS, YOU MAY NOT BRING 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.
7. PROCEDURES.  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 Synchrony Bank, Legal Operation, P.O. Box 29110, Shawnee Mission, KS
66201-5320, ATTN: ARBITRATION DEMAND. The party seeking arbitration must select either the American Arbitration Association (AAA), 120
Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271, www.adr.org , or JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com ,
to administer the arbitration. If neither administrator can handle the dispute, a court with jurisdiction will appoint an arbitrator.
8. 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
ten years of legal experience. The arbitrator must apply the same law, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), that would apply to an
individual action in court, but may use different procedural rules. The arbitrator will apply the same statutes of limitation and privileges that a
court would apply if the matter were pending in court.
9. The arbitrator may award any damages or other relief or remedies that would apply under applicable law to an individual action brought in court,
including, without limitation, punitive damages (governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts) and injunctive, equitable and
declaratory relief (but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party�s
individual claim). The parties will bear the fees and costs of their attorneys, witnesses and experts. However, the arbitrator will have the authority
to award fees and costs of attorneys, witnesses and experts to the extent permitted by the Agreement, the administrator�s rules or applicable law.
10. The arbitration will take place by phone or at a location reasonably convenient to you. If you ask, we will pay all the fees the administrator or
arbitrator charges if you cannot obtain a waiver of fees from the administrator and are acting in good faith. We will pay arbitration costs required
by the administrator�s rules or that are necessary for this Arbitration section to be enforced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will be required
to advance half of all administrative fees and arbitrator�s fees (and to be responsible for payment of such fees to the extent not advanced) if
you pursue arbitration as part of a group of similar arbitrations, or if you otherwise seek to participate in a mass arbitration proceeding. If an
arbitration already in process is later determined to be part of a mass arbitration proceeding, we shall have the right to request that the arbitrator
order you to reimburse us for fees already paid or advanced.
11. GOVERNING LAW.  This Arbitration section is governed by the FAA. Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant under the FAA, unless
otherwise stated herein. The arbitrator�s award 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. The arbitration award and any judgment confirming it will apply only to the specific case and
cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award.
12. SURVIVAL. This Arbitration section shall survive the repayment of all amounts owed, the termination, cancellation or suspension of the Agreement
or your account or credit privileges, any legal proceeding, and any bankruptcy by you, to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. If
this Arbitration section conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of the Agreement, this Arbitration section shall govern.
13. SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Arbitration section is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain
in force with the following two exceptions. First, if a determination is made that the �No Class Actions� provision is unenforceable, and that
determination is not reversed on appeal, then this Arbitration section shall be void in its entirety. Second, if a court determines that a public
injunctive relief claim may proceed notwithstanding the �No Class Actions� provision, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the
public injunctive relief claim will be decided by a court, and any individual claims will be arbitrated. The parties will ask the court to stay the public
injunctive relief claim until the other claims have been finally concluded. FR833282333_AEO, INC. VISA� CARD
