Security Interest, Security Deposit, Collateral Pledge This is a secured credit card account. As a condition to receiving your Platinum Secured credit card, you authorize Golden 1 Credit Union (“Golden 1”) to open a Collateral Account in your name. Your approved credit limit will be equal to your initial deposit amount in the Collateral Account. To ensure repayment of your obligations on the Platinum Secured credit card account, including fees and interest, you assign, transfer, pledge, and grant a security interest to Golden 1 in all current and after-acquired funds, including interest, in the Collateral Account. You understand that the pledged funds will not be accessible for withdrawal and agree not to make any withdrawals from the Collateral Account while it secures your credit card. Upon any default under the credit card agreement or in the event your Platinum Secured credit card account is terminated for any reason, you agree that, in addition to any other rights it may have, Golden 1 has the right to redeem, collect and withdraw any part or the full amount on deposit in the Collateral Account without notice to you, and apply the funds toward any outstanding obligations on your Platinum Secured credit card account. Any funds remaining in the Collateral Account after doing so will be transferred to your primary savings account. The Collateral Account is an interest bearing account; therefore, interest will be paid to you on this account. L-147 (02-01-16)

USING THE CARD   Authorizations Golden 1 prohibits the use of your Account for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal, state or local law. Use of your card and/or Account to initiate any type of unlawful electronic gambling transaction through the Internet is prohibited and may be rejected. Use of your card for any unlawful transaction may cause us to terminate your Account. Regardless of whether the transaction is deemed legal or illegal, you agree to repay, according to the terms of this Agreement, transactions you initiate by use of your Card. We do not guarantee authorization of a transaction, either by us or by a third party, even if you have sufficient credit available. We reserve the right to deny any transaction for any reason and at our sole discretion, including for default, suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity, internet gambling or any indication of increased risk related to the transaction or the Account. You agree that we will not be liable for failing to give an authorization. We also reserve the right to limit the number of transactions that may be approved in one day. If we detect unusual or suspicious activity, we may suspend your credit privileges until we can verify the activity, or we may close the Account. Return of Card(s) Each Card issued on your Account is the property of Golden 1 and must be returned upon demand. Credit Limit Your credit limit is disclosed to you when you open your Account and on each monthly statement. Purchases will not be authorized if they exceed your available credit limit. However, your Account balance may exceed your credit limit due to interest and/or fees that are imposed on your Account. You agree to immediately pay the excess amount. You will be responsible for all amounts over the credit limit without giving up any of our rights under this Agreement. We may change your credit limit based on a variety of factors, such as your payment and transaction history with us and information we receive from third parties, including credit reporting agencies.

Internet transactions If you use your Card for online shopping, we recommend that you enroll in the Verified by Visa program or set up a Visa Checkout account, for use with participating merchants. Verified by Visa is designed to reduce identity theft by allowing you to establish and use a password for online transactions. You should ensure your password is stored in a secure place. If you forget your password, contact Golden 1 during normal business hours for a password reset. For your protection, do not allow another person to use your Verified by Visa password. If you share your password, you are authorizing the transaction on your Account. Alternatively, Visa Checkout can provide security as well as the convenience of not having to re-enter your card number. Third Party or Mobile Devices We may permit you to load information about your Account onto third party or mobile devices, such as smart phones, tablets or other communication devices that allow you to store or electronically present your Account information, to engage in credit transactions without showing you credit card. You agree that such use will be subject to all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. If you do use a third party or mobile device, you agree to protect the security of the device the same as your credit card and understand we do not control the device and cannot guarantee the performance of the device or the third party. Transaction Limits Transaction limits, including but not limited to, cash advances at an ATM, may be imposed for security reasons by Golden 1 or other ATM owners. Notice regarding ATM fees by others When you use an ATM not owned by Golden 1, you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator of any network used to complete the transaction. You may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a funds transfer. Any such fees must be displayed at the ATM or POS terminal location. PAYMENTS and FEES   Minimum monthly payments You can pay off all your purchases and cash advances plus interest charges and fees in full each month or you can pay monthly installments. If you are paying installments, the monthly minimum payment required will be 2% of the new balance on the date of cycle closing or $10.00, whichever is greater. If the new balance is less than $10.00, you only pay that amount. In addition to the minimum payment due, you agree to pay any amount which is past due or over limit. Application of excess payments All payments in excess of the minimum monthly payment will be applied as follows: first to the balance with the highest interest rate, and then to each successive balance with the next highest interest rate, until the payment is exhausted. Method of payment You may pay by check using the remittance coupon on your statement, by automatic payment from your Golden 1 checking account, by automatic payment from an account with another financial institution, or by signing on to Golden 1 Online. You may also pay in person at any Golden 1 branch. In person payment credit and posting rules Payments received in person by an employee at a Golden 1 branch no later than close of business on any business day will be credited to your Account effective on that day. Payments received after the close of business on any business day will be credited on the next business day. All payments are subject to verification and collection by Golden 1.

Statements You will receive a monthly billing statement in the mail, each month there is a balance on your Account. To receive your monthly statement electronically you can enroll in Visa Online Statements through Golden 1 Online. Liability for payments If your Account is cancelled or closed, whether by you or Golden 1, you remain obligated to pay the outstanding balance plus any interest charges, fees and other charges imposed on your Account. Golden 1, at its sole discretion, may place a temporary freeze on all or part of the credit available to you for new purchases or cash advances under this Agreement any time Golden 1 receives payment returned for Insufficient Funds. In such cases, Golden 1 may freeze your credit line until payment is actually collected by us.

INTEREST CHARGES   Calculation of interest charges We figure the interest charge on your Account by applying the periodic rate to the "average daily balance" of your Account. To get the "average daily balance" we take the beginning balance of your Account each day, add any new purchases, balance transfers, advances, and fees, 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." The “average daily balance” on purchases will be considered to be $0.00 if the previous statement balance is zero. Interest will be assessed on fees and penalties. Interest charges will not be imposed on any new purchases on/y if the previous balance is paid in full by the due date or payments and credits shown equal or exceed the previous balance. Should the interest not be so paid it shall be added to the principal and thereafter bear like interest as the principal. Unless otherwise stated, all cash advances and balance transfers are treated as cash items for interest charge computation. Transaction fees are also included in the calculation of interest charges. There is no grace period for cash items and transaction fees (specifically, cash advance fees and foreign transaction fees). For such transactions, the interest charge begins on the date of the transaction and will continue up to the date when payment is credited to your Account.

CANCELLED, LOST OR STOLEN CARDS   Cancellation You may cancel your Account at any time by notifying us in writing. If you cancel your Account you will no longer be able to obtain cash advances or make purchases with the Card. Even if your Card is cancelled, you will still be liable for any use which was authorized by you or by any person to whom you have given authority to use the Account. You will also be liable for any automated or recurring charges authorized by you or your authorized user. You can limit your liability by returning the Card(s) to us and cancelling any automated or recurring charges when you close your Account. Golden 1 has the right to revoke your Card at any time. Your right to use your Card may be rescinded by us with or without cause and without notice. You must return the cancelled or expired Card to us upon request. Cancellation or revocation of your Card will not affect your obligation to pay any and all amounts due under this Agreement. Lost, stolen or unauthorized use For your protection, we highly recommend that you continually monitor your monthly statements to identify any unauthorized transactions. If your Card is lost or stolen, or you believe that an unauthorized person has accessed or may access your Account, or if you notice fraudulent activity on your Account, notify us immediately. If your Card and/or Account is used fraudulently, you agree to assist us in our investigation and obtain police reports, if filed. A signed statement may also be required. To report a lost or stolen Card(s) contact Golden 1 Credit Union at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361). If you are on vacation or out of the country, Visa offers an emergency credit card replacement service. For a Visa emergency card replacement, call 1-800-VISA-911 (1-800-847-2911), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will have zero liability for any fraudulent use if you notify us of unauthorized transactions that appear on a periodic statement, within 60 days after the transmittal of that statement. CREDIT REVIEW   Golden 1 obtained and reviewed your credit report when you applied for your Card. You authorize Golden 1 to periodically obtain and review your credit report in order to determine your continued eligibility for credit. Golden 1 may reduce your credit limit or refuse to extend new credit as the result of its periodic review of your creditworthiness. Factors considered by Golden 1 in reviewing your creditworthiness may include frequency of late payments, liens, number of new accounts or extent of credit usage, among other things. FOREIGN EXCHANGE/CURRENCY CONVERSION   Transactions that you incur in foreign currencies will be posted to your Account in U.S. dollars. Foreign transactions are normally converted to U.S. dollars by the network processing the transaction, which may impose a fee for this service. Since conversion may occur after the date of the transaction, the conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or posting date. You agree that the transaction amount as converted by the network may be deducted from your Account, as well as any conversion charges which are imposed. You agree to accept the converted amount in U.S. dollars. L-144 (01-15-16) 5

Any time you complete a foreign currency transaction through the Visa network, you will be assessed an International Service Assessment (“ISA”) fee. Currently, this fee is up to one percent (1%) of the transaction amount. This fee is assessed by Visa to Golden 1 and passed on to members. This up to one percent (1%) fee applies to all international transactions where the foreign currency must be converted to U.S. dollars and where the foreign currency is not equal in value to U.S. dollars. The currency conversion rate used to determine the transaction amount in U.S. dollars is either (i) 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 (ii) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date, in each instance in addition to the ISA fee. DEFAULT You will be in default under this Agreement if any of the following occur: You do not make a payment when due as required by this Agreement. You exceed your available credit limit. You become subject to bankruptcy, incompetency or insolvency proceedings or you die. You make false statements or omissions or provide fraudulent signatures on any application or financial statement provided to Golden 1. 5. Your payment is returned for any reason. 6. There has been a material adverse change in your creditworthiness. 7. You violate any of the terms of this Agreement, or any other agreement or disclosure related to this Agreement. 8. Your Golden 1 membership is terminated by Golden 1. PwWNE Upon the occurrence of any event of default under this Agreement, we may (a) terminate or suspend your credit privileges, (b) change the terms of this Agreement, and/or (c) demand that you pay the entire unpaid balance. Penalty APR If you default on your account for any of the following reasons, we may increase the APR on the entire balance to the Penalty APR of 22.90% with advance notice as required by applicable law. e You make a late payment; e go over your available credit limit; or e make a payment that is returned. The Penalty APR may terminate if you make six consecutive minimum monthly payments on time starting with your first payment due after the effective date of the Penalty Rate. If you do not make these six consecutive minimum monthly payments on time, we may keep the Penalty APR on your Account indefinitely. Entire balance due If you miss a payment or fail to comply with any term under this Agreement, we can require payment of the entire outstanding balance of your Account immediately. No notice is required. We can also do this if you make any false or misleading statement on your application, or in the event of your death. Late payment Golden 1 may assess a late payment fee of up to fifteen dollars ($15.00) with respect to any monthly billing cycle as a late payment charge on the minimum payment due that is not paid within 15 days after the payment due date.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS   Platinum Rewards Cash Rebate Program (Not available for Golden 1 Platinum Secured Accounts) You will earn cash rebates on net qualified purchases (less credits, returns and adjustments) for each $1 spent. Cash rebates have no maximum limit. Balance transfers, cash advances and cash-equivalent transactions do not earn rebates. A 3% cash rebate is offered on net qualified purchases at eligible gas, grocery and restaurant merchants. 1% cash rebate is offered on all other net qualified purchases. A 3% cash rebate is available on purchases processed under specific Merchant Category Codes (MCC). Merchants are assigned a MCC based on the type of products or services they primarily offer. Golden 1 does not determine the MCC classifications but does group similar classifications to define our cash-back rebate categories. Our 3% cash rebate is available only on purchases with eligible Service Stations (MCC 5541), Automated Fuel Dispensers (MCC 5542), Grocery Stores or Supermarkets (MCC 5411), and Eating places and Restaurants (MCC 5812). 3% cash rebate does not include wholesale clubs or eating establishments such as quick-service restaurants. Purchases processed through third-party payment accounts (e.g. PayPal), online or mobile wallets, or similar technology will not qualify for a rebate if the technology is not set up to process the purchase in an eligible merchant category. An Account in default under this Agreement forfeits all accumulated rebates. Additionally, rebates are only calculated for accounts that are not in bankruptcy status, that have not been closed or frozen and have no amount that has been charged-off. To receive a rebate, a Golden 1 share account with the required minimum balance must be maintained. The rebate will be credited by deposit to your Golden 1 share account by the end of each month and after the close of our account’s monthly billing cycle. Accounts closed prior to their monthly closing statement date forfeit all unpaid rebates earned during the prior period. We reserve the right to change or discontinue this program. SECURITY AGREEMENT     Platinum Secured Savings Deposit (Applicable to Golden 1 Platinum Secured Accounts only) You agree to pledge and maintain on deposit in a dedicated Golden 1 savings account, an amount at least equal to the credit limit. The initial deposit amount, at account opening, will determine your credit limit. If you fail to maintain the required amount, we may, at our option, cancel your credit card account and declare the entire balance due and owing. Cancellation of your credit card account will not affect your obligation to pay any and all amounts due.       L-144 (01-15-16) 8

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. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services). 2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase. 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: Golden 1 Credit Union Attention: Card Operations P.O. Box 15966 Sacramento, CA 95852-0966 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. L-144 (01-15-16) 10
