How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called "average daily balance (including new purchases). 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.
1. Definitions: In this Retail Charge Agreement ("Agreement"): The word "Account" refers to the account that is established with the Seller, and their successors or assigns,
that
is the subject of this Agreement. The words "you" and "your" refer to each individual who signs the Application for the Account, and who is authorized to use the Account. The words
"we," "us" and "our" refer to the Seller, and any assignee of the Seller. The words "Acceptable Documentation" shall refer to Purchase Orders, phone orders, or orders from our
website, so long as such orders are signed (physically or electronically) or otherwise verbally or electronically authenticated. The words "Applicable Law" shall mean federal law
and the laws of the state, commonwealth, or territory of your residence, as indicated in the "Buyer Information portion of your application for this Account (if Maryland, you and we
agree that Maryland law includes specifically Title 12, Subtitle 9, Maryland Commercial Law Article-Credit Grantor Revolving Credit Provisions) and the state in which this Account
is operated. You and we agree that these Applicable Laws apply to this Agreement. The words "Purchase Order" refer to the document describing the type, quantity and agreed
price of merchandise you buy from the Seller.
2. Account: This Agreement applies to your retail charge purchase of goods and services from us. The amount of your initial purchase from Seller will govern the amount of the
initial credit limit on your Account, which will be set at a higher amount than the cost of the goods purchased based on our expectation that you will use the Account to make
additional purchases. You may make add-on purchases from the Seller or Seller's assigns which will be evidenced by Acceptable Documentation Acceptable Documentation must
provide the cash price of the merchandise purchased. By signing future Acceptable Documentation you agree those purchases thereby confirmed will be subject to this Agreement.
You agree that add-on orders which exceed the credit limit established with your initial order are subject to credit approval. We reserve the right to deny authorization for any
requested credit limit increase.
3. Promise to Pay: In return for extending credit to you on this Account from time to time, each of you agrees to pay for all purchases any of you charge on this Account, and all
other charges mentioned below, according to the terms of this Agreement. When you sign the Application for this Account, you will be agreeing to the terms and conditions in this
Agreement, which include the cost of credit disclosures required by Applicable Law. This Agreement will not be effective until we approve your Application and we or our assignee
provides any disclosures required by the federal Truth in Lending Act, and then, after that, only if you or someone authorized by you sign a Purchase Order or otherwise charge
a
purchase to this Account.
4. Billing: You will be billed monthly for credit purchases from us, as shown on a Purchase Order signed by you (or completed at your direction), and for any previous unpaid
balance. You will receive a monthly periodic statement of account for any month in which you have an outstanding balance of more than $1.00 or on which an Interest Charge has
been imposed. If Kentucky, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon or Tennessee law governs (see paragraphs 1 and 20 of this Agreement), you will receive a monthly periodic statement
of account if you have an outstanding balance.
5. Payment: You have the right to pay your entire balance in full or more than the Minimum Monthly Payment at any time. Otherwise, you agree to pay at least the
Minimum Monthly Payment, which includes Interest Charges. You must make payment in U.S. Dollars, with a draft, money order, or check drawn on a U.S. Bank or the U.S. Post
Office. We may accept late payment, partial payments, or any payments marked "payment in full," without losing any of our rights under this Agreement or Applicable Law.
6. Interest Charges: Unless you are offered a Promotional Credit Plan as described below, Interest Charges will begin to accrue upon delivery of the merchandise you purchase.
Delivery occurs upon the earlier of the date of shipment of the merchandise, or the date of hand delivery of the merchandise. No Interest Charges will be imposed on new purchases,
however, if: (a) there was no outstanding balance under your Account at the beginning of the billing period in which the purchase was made (which includes the period in which
you make your initial purchase of merchandise under this Agreement), and (b) you pay off your Account in full by the payment due date reflected in the monthly periodic statement
of account for that billing period (though no payment may be due). We figure the Interest Charge on your Account by applying a daily periodic rate to the "average daily balance" of
your Account (including current transactions) and multiplying the result by the number of days in the billing period. To get the "average daily balance" we take the beginning balance
of your Account each day, add any new purchases, and subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing
cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance." Your daily periodic rate and the corresponding Annual Percentage
Rate are indicated in the chart below. The daily periodic rate will be the annual rate divided by 365(366 in a leap year).

Notwithstanding the above, if Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia or
Washington law governs (see paragraphs of this Agreement), we figure the Interest Charge on your Account by applying the daily periodic rate to the daily balance of your account
for each day in the billing cycle. To determine the daily balance, we take the beginning balance each day, add any new charges posted that day, and subtract any payments and credits posted
that day. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we calculate the amount of interest charged by multiplying the applicable daily periodic rate by each daily balance on your account. Your
Interest Charge for the billing cycle is the sum of the interest amounts that were charged each day during the billing cycle. If Michigan Law governs (see paragraphs 1 and 20 of this
Agreement), the Annual Percentage Rate indicated in the above chart is the maximum amount and rate of the time price differential to be charged and paid under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, if Virginia law governs (see paragraphs 1 and 20 of this Agreement) and we receive payment in full for the unpaid balance on your Account prior to the
date we next send a billing statement, no additional Interest Charges will be imposed for the current billing period. The portion of any balance arising from the sale of goods which
are returned will be excluded from the unpaid balance as of the date the goods are returned. Notwithstanding the above, if Mississippi law governs (see paragraphs 1 and 20 of
this Agreement) and we receive payment in full for the outstanding balance of your Account, as shown on the billing statement, within one month from the date of the billing
statement, we will not impose Interest Charges on the new purchases appearing on that billing statement. If Maryland law governs (see paragraphs 1 and 20 of this Agreement)
and we receive payment in full of the outstanding balance of your Account, as shown on the billing statement, within 25 days after the end of that billing period, we will not imposé
Interest Charges for the current billing period. The portion of any balance arising from the sale of goods which are returned will be excluded from the unpaid balance as of the date
the goods are returned.
7. Minimum Monthly Interest Charge: As allowed by Applicable Law, if the Interest Charge that results from the application of the above stated daily periodic rate (the "Calculated
Interest Charge"), is less than $0.50, we will impose a minimum monthly INTEREST CHARGE of $0.50, and if Michigan, Missouri or Tennessee law governs (see paragraphs 1
and 20 of this Agreement), and if the Calculated Interest Charge is less than $0.70, we will impose a minimum monthly INTEREST CHARGE of $0.70, and if Delaware, Georgia
or Washington law governs (see paragraphs 1 & 20 of this Agreement), and if the Calculated Interest Charge is less than $1.00, we will impose a minimum monthly INTEREST
CHARGE of $1.00, and if Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi or Virginia law governs (see paragraphs 1 and 20 of this Agreement) and we receive payment in full for the unpaid
balance on your Account prior to the next billing date, we will not impose a minimum additional Interest Charge for that billing period.
8. Minimum Monthly Payment: You will make payments of at least the total Minimum Monthly Payment each month as required by our monthly periodic statements of account.
Your total Minimum Monthly Payment will consist of: (1) any past due amounts, and (2) a regularly scheduled Minimum Monthly (Payment. The regularly scheduled Minimum
Monthly Payment will be equal to the greater of: (a) the regularly scheduled Minimum Monthly Payment shown on your Purchase Order; (b) $25.00; or (c) 3.00% of the Account
balance immediately following the first or any subsequent purchase on your Account.
Page 3 of6
9. Promotional Credit Plans: In addition to purchases that accrue Interest Charges and require monthly payments as described previously in this Agreement, as part
of this Account, Promotional Credit Plans may be offered from time to time on specific additional purchases for qualified buyers. Purchases made under these Promotional
Credit Plans may have different interest charge calculations and required minimum payments. A Promotional Credit Plan is strictly limited by its terms and the terms and
conditions of the special promotion to which it relates. In addition, the benefits of a Promotional Credit Plan will expire and all accrued Interest Charges in these plans will
be added to your Account if you fail to pay the promotional balance by the end of the promotional period or you are in default for a period of 60 or more days during the
promotional period. The special promotions that may be offered include:
9.a. Same as Cash Plan: If you pay the full purchase price before the expiration date of a Same as Cash Plan, as indicated on your monthly periodic statement of
account, and pay the Minimum Monthly Payment each billing period when due, no Interest Charges will be imposed on the purchase If such payments are not made,
Interest Charges from the date of delivery will be added to your Account either when you fail to make a payment within 60 day's of the due date or, at the end of the
Same
as Cash Plan period if any portion of the promotional balance remains outstanding
9.a.1. How Payments Are Applied When Same as Cash Plan Is In Effect: Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, during the two billing cycles immediately
preceding expiration of the Same as Cash Plan period, any amount paid in excess of the minimum payment due will be allocated first to the balance subject to the Same
as Cash Plan and any remaining portion to any other balances. We may offer Same as Cash Plan periods of 6 months, 9 months, 12 months or of different lengths that
we will announce from time to time.
10. Application of Payments: Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, payments except down payments, shall be applied first to past due Minimum Monthly
Payments, beginning with the oldest, then to the current Minimum Monthly Payment, and then to other unpaid late fees, costs and fees arising under this Agreement. In
Colorado and Indiana: For purposes of assessing delinquency charges, payments first will be applied to the current payment due in the payment period in which the
payment is received and then to delinquent installments. Mississippi: Payments will first be applied to any finance charge, next to repayment of cash advanced or other
credit extended, and finally to the chronological repayment of purchases.
11. Other Charges:
11.a. Late Fees: Except in Delaware and New Mexico, you will pay the maximum late fee allowed (which you agree we will add to the balance due on your Account) for
payments not made on time, calculated as Applicable Law allows. Except in Alaska, lowa, Maryland, New Hampshire, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Virginia (7
days), the statutory time period for the imposition of a Late Fee is 10 days after the due date ("Due Date for each payment not received on the scheduled Due Date.

unpaid, you authorize us to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account to collect a fee as provided above.

our security interest in the Goods and our rights under this Agreement. In addition to other rights we may have under this Agreement, if you do not make payments as agreed, this
security interest allows us to take actions not prohibited by Applicable Law governing security interests in the Goods. You also agree to keep the Good's installed at the address
you provided in your credit application and to not remove or alter the Goods without our prior written consent. You may lose the Goods if you do not meet your obligations to us
under this Agreement.
13. Default: If you fail to make any payment when due, or if the prospect of your payment, performance, or our realization of collateral is significantly impaired, to the extent not
prohibited by Applicable Law, and subject to any notice required by Applicable Law, we may declare the full remaining balance immediately due and payable. We may also
repossess any article of merchandise in which we retain a security interest if we do so peacefully and the law allows it. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, in the event of
a
late payment or nonpayment, we will not declare the full remaining balance immediately due and payable or repossess any article of merchandise if, within ten days of the date on
which the installment was due, we receive payment together with any late fees. If you fail to pay within 10 days of the due date, we may, at our option, declare the full remaining
balance immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by Applicable law. Unless we are required by Applicable Law to provide you a notice of default and a right to cure,
you agree that we do not have to give you notice that we intend to demand or are demanding immediate payment of all you owe. If the Account is referred to an attorney who is
not our salaried employee and we bring suit against you to collect the amount you owe and we are the prevailing party, you agree to pay our reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs not prohibited by Applicable Law. In Colorado, Missouri, Montana and Oklahoma, attorney's fees for collection will not exceed 15% of the unpaid debt. In New Hampshire, if
you prevail in any action, suit or proceeding we bring or in an action you bring, reasonable attorney's fees shall be awarded to you. If you successfully assert a partial defense,
setoff, recoupment or counterclaim to an action brought by us, the court may withhold from us the entire amount or such portion of the attorney's fees as the court deems appropriate.
In North Dakota you will not have to pay our attorney's fees. You also agree to pay our collection costs and costs incurred in taking the collateral, holding it, preparing it for sale,
and selling it, as not prohibited by Applicable Law.
14. Canceling or Reducing Your Credit Limit: We have the right at any time to limit or terminate the use of your Account and raise or lower your credit limit without giving you
advance notice. Some purchases will require prior authorization, in which case you may be asked to provide identification. If our authorizations system is unavailable, we may not
be able to authorize a transaction, even if you have sufficient credit. We will not be liable to you if this happens. We are not responsible for the refusal of anyone to accept or honor
an addition to this Account. In addition, even if you cancel the use of your Account, you are still responsible for any Account balances incurred by an authorized user that remain
unpaid.
15. Change in Terms: You agree that we may amend the terms of this Agreement, subject to any notice required by Applicable Law. To the extent not prohibited by Applicable
Law, any new terms may be applied to any balance existing on the Account at the time of the change, as well as subsequent transactions.
16. No Oral Modifications: You agree that we are not bound by any oral agreements or oral modifications to this Agreement.

Please see Applicable Law (see paragraphs 1 and 20 of this Agreement) for the following disclosures:
Where Arizona is the Applicable Law: NOTICE: BY GIVING US A SECURITY INTEREST IN THE MERCHANDISE, YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS PROVIDED BY LAW TO
CLAIM THE PROPERTY EXEMPT FROM LEGAL PROCESS.
Colorado Notice to Cosigner
You are being asked to guarantee this debt. Think carefully before you do. If the borrower doesn't pay the debt, you will have to. Be sure you can afford to pay if you have to, and
that you want to accept this responsibility.
You may have to pay up to the full amount of the debt if the borrower does not pay. You may also have to pay late fees or collection costs, which increase this amount.
The creditor can collect this debt from you without first trying to collect from the borrower. The creditor can use the same collection methods against you that can be used against
the borrower, such as suing you, garnishing your wages, etc. If this debt is ever in default, that fact may become a part of your credit record.
This notice is not the contract that makes you liable for the debt.
Oral agreements or commitments to loan money, extend credit or forbear from enforcing repayment of a debt including promises to extend or renew 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.
Where Pennsylvania is the Applicable Law: NOTICE: Any holder of this consumer credit contract is subject to all claims and defenses which the debtor could assert
against the seller of goods or services obtained with the proceeds hereof. Recovery hereunder by the debtor shall not exceed amount paid by the debtor hereunder.
Where Louisiana is the Applicable Law: If you default, we may choose to institute executory, ordinary, or other legal proceedings to have the articles of merchandise taken from
you and sold to satisfy your obligations to us. You confess judgment in favor of us for the full amount you owe under this Agreement for purposes of Louisiana's executory process
procedures, and consent to a judgment being rendered and signed in our favor for that amount. To the extent permitted by law, you waive any benefits of an appraisal of the articles
of merchandise and other rights under Articles 2331, 2332, 2336, 2722, 2723, and 2724 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedures when the articles of merchandise is sold under
executory process or other legal process, and any other law that may give you similar rights and benefits. You also authorize us to serve as keeper or appoint a keeper if the articles
of
merchandise is taken from you through legal proceedings. If you owe us a deficiency, you may be charged interest at the Annual Percentage Rate or the highest lawful rate until
you pay us all that you owe.
Your Billing Rights. Keep This Notice For Future Use. This notice contains important information 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: Preferred Credit, Inc., P.O. Box 1679, St. Cloud, MN 56302.
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 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 already corrected the error.
2.
Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct.
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on the amount.
Page 5
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 límit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with the applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the
amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe.
If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as
delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those
organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Account Purchases:
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your Account and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may
have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
1.
The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50.
(Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)
2.
You must have used your Account for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your 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: Preferred Credit, Inc., P.O Box 1679, St. Cloud, MN 56302.
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.

THE SELLER OF GOODS OR SERVICES OBTAINED PURSUANT HERETO OR WITH THE PROCEEDS HEREOF. RECOVERY HEREUNDER BY THE DEBTOR SHALL
