CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT

ACCOUNT NUMBER

IN  THIS  AGREEMENT, "YOU"  AND  "YOUR"  MEAN  ANY  PERSON  WHO  ACCEPTS  THIS  AGREEMENT  OR  USES  THE  CARD.  THE  "CARD"  MEANS  ANY  CREDIT  CARD  ISSUED  TO  YOU  OR  THOSE
DESIGNATED BY YOU UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. "WE", "US", "OUR" AND THE "CREDIT UNION" MEANS TWINSTAR CREDIT UNION OR ITS SUCCESSORS.

THE GRANTING OF THIS SECURITY INTEREST IS A CONDITION FOR
THE ISSUANCE OF CREDIT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

YOU GRANT US A SECURITY INTEREST UNDER THE WASHINGTON
UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE FOR ANY GOODS PURCHASED.

YOU  SPECIFICALLY  GRANT  US  A  CONSENSUAL  SECURITY
INTEREST  IN  ALL  INDIVIDUAL  AND  JOINT  ACCOUNTS  YOU  HAVE
WITH  US  NOW  AND  IN  THE  FUTURE  TO  SECURE  REPAYMENT OF
CREDIT  EXTENDED  UNDER  THIS  AGREEMENT. YOU  ALSO  AGREE
THAT WE  HAVE SIMILAR  STATUTORY LIEN  RIGHTS  UNDER  STATE
AND/OR  FEDERAL  LAW. IF  YOU ARE  IN  DEFAULT, WE  CAN APPLY
YOUR SHARES TO THE AMOUNT YOU OWE.

Shares  and  deposits  in  an  Individual  Retirement  Account  or  any  other
account that would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law if
given are not subject to this security interest.

If you have other loans with us, all collateral securing such loans now and
in the future will also secure your obligations under this Agreement, unless
that  other  collateral  is  your  principal  residence  or  non-purchase  money
household goods.

Using Your Card.  You can  purchase  or  lease  goods  and  services  from  any
merchant  who  honors  your  Card,  and  you  may  obtain  cash  advances  from
financial  institutions  and  ATM  machines  that  accept  the  Card,  up  to  your
maximum  cash  advance  credit  limit.  You agree  not  to  present  your  Card  or
obtain a cash advance for any extension of credit in excess of your available
cash  advance  credit  limit;  however,  if  you  do  exceed  your  credit  limit,  you
agree  to  make  immediate  payment  sufficient  to  bring  the  balance  below  the
credit limit. Certain purchases and cash advances require authorization prior
to completion of the transaction. In some cases, you may be asked to provide
identification. If our system is not working, we may not be able to authorize a
transaction, even though you have sufficient credit available. Also, for security
reasons, we may block the use of your Card in certain countries or geographic
areas. We will have no liability to you or others if any of these events occur.
You  may  transfer  a  balance  from  an  existing  credit  card  account  to  your
TwinStar  credit  card.  Balances  owed  on  other  types  of  loans  may  not  be
applied as a balance transfer.

(PIN). We  may 

Identification  Number 

issue  a  Personal
Personal 
Identification  Number  (PIN)  for  use  with  your  Card.  This  PIN  is  confidential
and should not be disclosed to anyone. You may use your PIN and your Card
to access your account, and all sums advanced will be added to your account
balance.  In  the  event  a  use  of  your  PIN  constitutes  an  Electronic  Funds
Transfer,  the  terms  and  conditions  of  your  Electronic  Funds  Transfer
Agreement may affect your rights.

Promise To Pay. You promise to pay us in U.S. dollars for (a) all purchases,
cash  advances,  and  balance  transfers  made  by  you  or  anyone  whom  you
authorize  to  use  the  Card;  (b)  all  Interest  Charges  and  all  other  charges  or
fees;  (c)  collection  costs  and  attorney's  fees  as  permitted  by  applicable  law,
and any costs incurred in the recovery of the Card; and (d) credit in excess of
your credit limit that we may extend to you.

Illegal Transactions. You agree that your Card and account will not be used
to make or facilitate any illegal transactions as determined by applicable law;
and that any such use will constitute an event of default under this Agreement.
We may decline any transaction that we believe to be illegal under applicable
law,  including  but  not  limited  to  any  transaction  involving  or  relating  to  any
gambling  activity. You agree that we will have no liability or responsibility for
any  such  use  by  you  or  any  authorized  user(s);  or  for  declining  any  such
transaction.  You further  agree  to  indemnify  and  hold  us  harmless  from  any
suits,  liability, damages  or  adverse  action  of  any  kind  that  results  directly  or
indirectly  from  such  illegal  use.  You promise  to  pay  us  any  and  all  amounts
owing on your Card for any transactions made by you, even if the transaction
is determined to be illegal.

Joint Accounts. Each of you will be responsible, jointly and severally, for the
repayment  of  amounts  owed,  regardless  of  who  initiated  any  transaction
under the account.

Others Using Your Account. If  you allow anyone else to use your account,
you will be liable for all credit extended to such persons. You promise to pay
for  all  purchases  and  advances  made  by  anyone  you  authorize  to  use  your
account,  whether  or  not  you  notify  us  that  he  or  she  will  be  using  it.  If
someone  else  is  authorized  to  use  your  account  and  you  want  to  end  that
person's privilege, you must notify us in writing, and if he or she has a Card,
you must return that Card with your written notice for it to be effective.

Ownership  of  Card. Your  Card  remains  our  property  and  may  be  cancelled
by  us  at  any  time  without  notice.  You agree  to  surrender  your  Card  and  to
discontinue use of the account immediately upon our request.

Interest Charges. You agree to pay interest at the rate(s) disclosed to you at
the time you open your account and as may be changed from time to time in
accordance  with  applicable  law.  Average  Daily  Balance  including  new
transactions:  Interest  Charges  will  accrue  on  your  average  daily  balance
outstanding during the month. To get the average daily balance, we take the
beginning  balance  each  day,  add  any  new  purchases,  cash  advances,
balance  transfers  or  other  advances,  and  subtract  any  payments,  unpaid
interest  charges,  and  unpaid  late  charges.  This  gives  us  the  daily  balance.
Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide that by
the number of days in the billing cycle. We then multiply that by the periodic
rate  corresponding  to  the  Annual  Percentage  Rate  on  your  account.  If  you
have  different  rates  for  purchases,  cash  advances  or  balance  transfers,
separate  average  daily  balances  for  each  will  be  calculated  and  the
appropriate periodic rate is then applied to each.

Grace  Period  on  Purchases  Only:  You  can  avoid  Interest  Charges  on
purchases by paying the full amount of the new balance for purchases each
month  by  the  date  on  which  the  payment  is  due.  If  you  do  not  pay  the  new
balance for purchases within the grace period, your interest charge will accrue
on any unpaid purchase transactions from the first day of the billing period in
which  the  payment  is  due.  You  cannot  avoid  Interest  Charges  on  cash
advances  and  balance  transfers;  even  if  you  pay  the  entire  cash  advance
balance or balance transfer balance by the payment due date, you will incur
the  Interest  Charges  accrued  from  the  date  the  cash  advance  or  balance
transfer is posted to your account.

Fees.  In  addition  to  the  Interest  Charges  set  forth  above,  you  agree  to  also
pay  any  and  all  fees  that  you  incur  as  disclosed  to  you  on  your  Truth-in-
Lending  Statement  or  similar  disclosures  (as  may  be  amended  from  time  to
time), or as disclosed to you during the term of your Card.

If  Your  Card  is  Lost  or  Stolen  or  if  an  Unauthorized  Use  Occurs. You
agree  to  notify  us  immediately  if  your  Card  is  ever  lost  or  stolen  or  if  an
unauthorized  use  may  have  occurred.  "Unauthorized  use"  means  the  use  of
the  Card  by  someone  other  than  you  who  does  not  have  actual,  implied  or
apparent authority for such use, and from which you receive no benefit. The
telephone number to call is (360) 357-9911. You agree to follow up your call
with  notice  in  writing  to  us  at: TwinStar Credit  Union,  PO  Box  718,  Olympia,
WA  98507-718.  You  also  agree  to  assist  us  in  determining  the  facts,
circumstances  and  other  pertinent  information  relating  to  any  loss,  theft  or
possible unauthorized use of your Card and comply with such procedures as
we  may  require  in  connection  with  our  investigation.  The  zero  liability  will
apply  provided  you  are  not  negligent  or  fraudulent  in  handling  your  card;
otherwise  your  liability  for  unauthorized  credit  card  transactions  shall  not
exceed $50.00.

Minimum Payment Due; Crediting of Payments. Payments are due in the
amount and on the date disclosed on your billing statement. If your payment
is  received  by  us  on  a  business  day  at  the  address  and  by  the  time
designated on the billing statement, it will be credited to your account on the
date  of  receipt.  If  payment  is  made  at  any  location  other  than  the  address
designated  on  the  periodic  statement,  credit  for  such  payment  may  be
delayed  up  to  five  (5)  days.  Payments  will  be  applied  in  any  order  we
determine, subject to applicable law.

Late  or  Partial  Payments.  Any  payment  that  delays  the  reduction  of  your
balance will increase your total interest costs. Partial payments or prepayments
will  not  delay  your  next  scheduled  payment  -  you  will  still  need  to  make  the
minimum  scheduled  payment  by  the  next  scheduled  due  date  to  keep  your
account  current.  We  may  accept  late  payments,  partial  payments,  checks  or
money orders marked "payment in full" and such action shall not constitute final
settlement  of  your  account  or  a  waiver  or  forgiveness  of  any  amounts  owing
under this Agreement.

Enforcement. We do not lose our rights under this or any related agreement if
we  delay  enforcing  them.  If  any  provision  of  this  or  any  related  agreement  is
determined  to  be  unenforceable  or  invalid,  all  other  provisions  remain  in  full
force and effect.

Returns  and  Adjustments.  Merchants  and  others  who  honor  the  Card  may
give credit for returns or adjustments, and they will do so by submitting a credit
slip which will be posted to your account. If your credits and payments exceed
what you owe us, the amount will be applied against future purchases and cash
advances. If the credit balance amount is $1 or more, it will be refunded upon
your written or verbal request.

Plan  Merchant  Disputes.  We  are  not  responsible  for  the  refusal  of  any  plan
merchant or financial institution to honor your Card. Also, we are not responsible
for goods or services that you purchase with the Card unless: (a) your purchase
was made in response to an advertisement we sent or participated in sending
you;  or  (b)  your  purchase  cost  more  than  $50  and  was  made  from  a  plan
merchant in your state or within 100 miles of your home; and only if you have
made a good faith attempt, but have been unable to obtain satisfaction from the
plan  merchant.  You  must  resolve  all  other  disputes  directly  with  the  plan
merchant.  We  do  not  warrant  any  merchandise  or  services  purchased  by  you
with the Card.

Statements and Notices. If your outstanding balance exceeds $1, statements
and  notices  will  be  mailed  to  you  at  the  most  recent  postal  address  or  e-mail
address (if you have elected to receive such documents via electronic means)
you have given us. Notice sent to any one of you will be considered notice to all.

Notification of Address Change. You will notify us promptly if you change your
address for any reason. In order to prevent identity theft, your identity may need
to be verified before we act upon the notification.

Agreement.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under federal law and state
law in the state in which we are primarily located, and the venue shall be located
in the county and state in which we are primarily located. Operating regulations
of  Visa  may  also  apply.  This  Agreement  is  the  contract  that  applies  to  all
transactions even though the sales, cash advance, convenience check, credit or
other slips you sign or receive may contain different terms.
NOTICE TO UTAH BORROWERS: This written agreement is a final expression
of  the  agreement  between  you  and  the  Credit  Union.  This  written  agreement
may not be contradicted by evidence of any oral agreement.

Default; Acceleration; Credit Suspension; Collection Costs. You will be in
default if: (1) you fail to make any payment on time; (2) if you fail to keep any
promises  you  have  made  under  this Agreement  or  under  other Agreements
you have with us; (3) if you die; (4) if you file a petition in bankruptcy or have a
bankruptcy  petition  filed  against  you,  or  if  you  become  involved  in  any
insolvency,  receivership  or  custodial  proceeding;  (5)  if  anyone  attempts  to
take any of your funds held by us via legal process or if you have a judgment
or  tax  lien  filed  against  you;  (6)  if  you  make  any  false,  inaccurate,  or
misleading statements in any credit application or credit update; or (7) if we, in
good  faith,  believe  that  your  ability  to repay  what you  owe is or soon  will  be
impaired, or that you are unwilling to make your payments.

If you are in default, we have the right to demand immediate payment of your
full  account  balance  without  giving  you  notice.  If  immediate  payment  is
demanded, you agree to continue paying interest charges and fees until what
you owe has been paid, and any shares that were given as security for your
account  may  be  applied  towards  what  you  owe.  You  agree  to  pay  all
reasonable costs of collection, including court costs and attorney's fees, and
any costs incurred in the recovery of the Card, subject to applicable law. Even
if  your  unpaid  balance  is  less  than  your  credit  limit,  you  will  have  no  credit
available during any time that any aspect of your account is in default.

Suspension  of  electronic  services  and  access  to  share  or  deposit
accounts. Subject  to applicable law, we may suspend some or all electronic
services  and  access  to  your  checking  or  other  account(s)  if  you  become
delinquent on any of your credit card or deposit obligations to us or you cause
a  loss  to  us.  We  shall  not  be  liable  to  you  in  any  regard  in  connection  with
such suspension of services.

Additional  Benefits/Card  Enhancements.  We  may  from  time  to  time  offer
additional  services  to  your  Account  at  no  additional  cost  to  you.  You
understand that we are not obligated to offer such services and may withdraw
or change them at any time.

Convenience Checks. We may, at our discretion, issue checks to you which
may be used for any purpose other than making a payment for credit to your
account.  By  signing  such  check,  you  authorize  us  to  pay  the  item  for  the
amount indicated and post such amount as a purchase to your account. We
do  not  have  to  pay  any  item  which  would  cause  the  outstanding  balance  in
your account to exceed your credit limit.

Credit  Information.  We may  from  time  to  time  request  personal  information
from  you  or  obtain  credit  reports  from  the  credit  reporting  agencies  for  the
purpose of updating your credit status. Your failure to provide such information
when requested by us may result in suspension of credit privileges under this
Agreement,  including  your  ability  to  obtain  any  future  advances  by  any
means. You authorize us to investigate your credit standing when opening or
reviewing  your  account.  You authorize  us  to  disclose  information  regarding
your  account  to  credit  bureau  and  creditors  who  inquire  about  your  credit
standing.

Foreign  Transactions;  Currency  Conversion. Purchases 
and  cash
advances made in foreign currencies will be billed to you in U.S. dollars. The
conversion rate in dollars will be a rate selected by the card company from a
range  of  rates  available  in  wholesale  currency  markets  for  the  applicable
central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate the card company
itself  receives,  or  the  government-mandated  rate  in  effect  for  the  applicable
central  processing  date  in  each  instance. All  transactions  processed  outside
of the United States (which may include internet transactions) will be charged
a  foreign  transaction  fee  in  the  amount  disclosed  on  your  Truth-in-Lending
Statement (as amended from time to time).

Termination;  Change-in-Terms.  We  may,  by  written  notice,  terminate  this
Agreement  at  any  time,  subject  to  applicable  law.  You  may  terminate  this
Agreement by written notice. Termination by either party shall not affect your
obligation  to  repay  any  balance  on  your  account  resulting  from  use  of  the
Card  as  well  as  Interest  Charges  and  fees  incurred.  We  may  change  the
terms of this Agreement, including the method of calculating the periodic rate,
at  any  time,  by  written  notice,  subject  to  applicable  law.  Use  of  the  Card
constitutes  agreement  and  acceptance  of  any  change  in  terms,  unless
applicable law requires otherwise. Our failure to exercise any of our rights or
to  take  any  action  shall  not  constitute  a  waiver  of  those  rights,  or  an
amendment or change in any of the terms of this Agreement.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES FOR ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY AND THEIR DEPENDENTS:
The following applies if at the time this loan is made you are an active member of the military or a dependent (as those terms are defined in the Military
Lending Act (MLA), 10 U.S.C. 987 and its implementing regulations (“MLA”)), and (a) your loan is unsecured or secured by personal property or a vehicle
that you did not purchase with the proceeds of the loan; or (b) it is otherwise determined by law that the MLA applies to your loan. If this loan is a revolving
line of credit or credit card, the MLA ceases to apply at any time during which you are not a member of the military or a dependent (as defined in the MLA).
1.

NOTICE: Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit.
In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36
percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: the costs associated with credit insurance premiums or debt protection
fees;  fees  for  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). To receive
this notice verbally, please call 1-800-235-8946 during our normal business hours.
This loan will not be secured by a consensual lien on shares or deposits in any of your accounts unless you agree to establish an account in connection
with this loan (“Secured Account”). Only funds deposited into the Secured Account after the loan is made will secure this loan. Any cross-collateralization
provision contained in your loan or account documents will not apply to the Secured Account or your other share or deposit accounts for any loan subject
to the Military Lending Act.
However, we reserve our statutory lien rights and rights to set-off or administrative freeze under federal or state law, which gives us the right to apply the
sums in the Secured Account or any other account(s) you have with us to satisfy your obligations under this loan.

Any reference in this consumer credit contract to the following are hereby inapplicable to your loan: (a) Mandatory arbitration; (b) Any requirement(s) to
waive your rights to legal recourse under any applicable state or federal law; (c) Any demands or requirements construed as unreasonable notice from
you in order to exercise your legal rights; or (d) Prepayment penalties.

Any provisions in your consumer credit contract, loan, security, or account agreements that are determined to be inconsistent with or contradictory to
these disclosures or the MLA (as they may be changed or amended from time to time) are inapplicable with regard to this loan. However, all other terms
and conditions of the consumer credit contract shall remain in full force and effect.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS - KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE

2.

3.

4.

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 the address(es)
listed on your statement.

In your letter, give us the following information:

1.
2.
3.

Your name and account number.
The dollar amount of the suspected error.
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.

2.

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.
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 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:

•

•

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  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 Credit Card Purchases

If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with
your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with
the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on
the purchase.

To use this right, all of the following must be true:

1.

2.

3.

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.)
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.
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 the address(es) listed on your statement.

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.

By signing below, I agree to the terms on pages 1-3.
