If you make a transaction In a foreign currency, Visa International or MasterCard International, Inc., will convert the transaction into U.S. dollars by using its respective currency conversion procedures. The exchange rate each entity uses to convert currency is a rate that it selects either from the range of rates available in the wholesale currency markets for the applicable processing date (which rate may vary from the rate the respective entity itself receives), or the government-mandated rate in effect on the applicable processing date. The rate in effect on the applicable processing date may differ from the rate onthe date you used your card or account.

We may refuse to accept any such payment by returning it to you, not cashing it or by destroying it. All other payments that you make should be sent to the regular payment address shown on your monthly statements. EXHIBIT Page 1 of 6 We reserve the right to electronically collect your eligible payment checks, at first presentment and any representment, from the bank account on which the check is drawn. Our receipt of your payment checks is your authorization for us to collect the amount of the check electronically, or, if needed, by a draft drawn against the bank account. Payment checks will be collected electronically by sending the check amount along with the check, routing and account numbers to your bank. Your bank account may be debited as early as the some day we receive your payment. The original payment check will be destroyed and an image will be maintained in our records. Minimum Payment: You agree to pay at least the minimum payment due, as shown on your billing statement, so that we receive it by the date and time payment is due. You may pay more than the minimum payment due and may pay the full amount you owe us at any time. If you have a balance that is subject to finance charges, the sooner you pay us,the lessyou will pay in finance charges because finance charges accrue on your balance each day. Your billing statement shows your beginning balance and your ending balance (the `New Balance" on your billing statement). If the New Balance is 510.00 or less, your minimum payment due will be the New Balance. Otherwise, it will be the largest of the following: 510.00; 2% of the New Balance; or the sum of 1 % of the New Balance, total billed periodic rate finance charges, and any billed late and overlimit fees. As part of the minimum payment due,we also add any amount past due and any amount over your credit line. Payment Allocation: You agree that we are authorized to allocate your payments and credits in a way thatis most favorable to or convenient for us. For example, you authorize us to apply your payments and credits to balances with lower APRs (such as promotional APRs) before balances with higher APRs. Credit Balances: reduce the amount of any credit balance bythe e amount of new charges rorfees b lled credit balance at any to your account. Automatic Charges: You may authorize a third party to automatically charge your account for repeat transactions (for example, monthly utility charges, memberships and insurance premiums). It automatic charges are stopped for any reason (including because your account is closed or suspended for any reason) or your account number changes, you are responsible for notifying the biller and paying these charges directly. If your account number changes, we may, but are not required to, your now account number charges thatyou authorized to be billed to your old account number. Promotions: From time to time we may offer special terms for your account If we do, we will Any promotion is subject to the terms of this agreement, as modified the promotional offer. FINANCE CHARGES Daily Periodic Rates and Annual Percentage Rates: Your annual percentage rates ("APRs') and the corresponding daily periodic rates are listed on the Rates and Fees Table that is at the end of this document or provided separately. To get the daily periodic rate we divide the APR by 365, and in effect always round up at the fifth place to the right of the decimal point. Variable Rates: One or more APRs that applyto your account mayvarywith changes to the Prime Rate. When you have an APR that varies with changes to the Prime Rate, we calculate the APR by adding a margin to the Prime Rate published in The Wall StreetJournaltwo business days before the Closing Date shown on your billing statement. The "Prime Rate"is the highest (U.S.) Prime Rate published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street JournaL If The Wall Street Journal stops publishing the Prime Rate, we will select a similar reference rate and inform you on your billing statement or through a separate notice. A "margin" is the percentage we add to the Prime Rate to calculate the APR. A "business day" is any day that is not a weekend or federal holiday. The Rates and Fees Table shows which rates, if any, are variable rates. It also lists the margin for each variable rate and any minimum daily periodic rate and corresponding APR. Two business days before the Closing Date shown on your billing statement, we see what the Prime Rate is. We then add the applicable margin to that Prime Rate to get the APR. The daily periodic rate is calculated as described above. If our calculation results in a change to a daily periodic rate from the previous billing cycle because the Prime Rate has changed, the new rate will apply as of the first day of your billing cycle that ends in the calendar month in which we made the calculation. If the daily periodic rate increases, you will have to pay a higher periodic finance charge and may have to pay a higher minimum payment. Default Rates: Your APRs also may vary if you are in default under this agreement or any other agreement you have with us or any of our related companies for any of the following reasons: • We do not receive, for any payment that is owed on this account or any other account or loan with us, at least the minimum payment due by the date and time due. • You exceed your credit line on this account. • You make a payment to us that is not honored by your bank. If any of these events occurs, we may increase the APRs (including any promotional APR) on all balances (excluding overdraft advances) up to a maximum of the default rate stated in the Rates and Fees Table. We may consider the following factors to determine your default rate: the length of time your account has been open, the existence, seriousness and timing of the defaults on your account; other indications of your account usage and performance; information about your other relationships with us or any of our related companies; and information we obtain from consumer credit reports obtained from credit bureaus. The default rate will take effect as of the first day of the billing cycle in which the default occurs. If we decide not to increase your APR even though there is a default or if we do not increase your APR up to the maximum default rate stated in the Rates and Fees Table, we reserve our right to increase your APR in the event of any future default. We may in our discretion determine to charge reduced default rates or reinstate standard rates for all or selected balances on your account. Finance Charge Calculation - Average Daily Balance Method (Including New 'Transectionsk We calculate periodic finance charges separately for each balance associated with a different category of transactions (for example, purchases, balance transfers, balance transfer checks, cash advances, cash advance checks, overdraft advances, and each promotion).Thess calculations may combine different categories with the some daily periodic rates. This is how it works: We calculate periodic Rnenbe charges for purchases, balance transfers, balance transfer checks, cash advances, cash advance checks, and overdraft advances by multiplying the daily balance for each of those categories by the daily periodic rate for each of those categories, each day. You may have overdraft advances only if you have linked this account to a checking account with one of our related banks. We calculatethe periodic finance charges for purchases, balance transfers, balance transfer checks, cash advances, and cash advance checks subjectto a promotional rate the same way, but we use the promotional rate. To get the daily balance for each day for each category: • We take the beginning balance for that day. • We add to that balance any new transactions, fees, other charges, and debit adjustments that applyto that category. We add a new purchase, cash advance, balance transfer or overdraft advance, if applicable, to the daily balance as of the transaction date, or a later date of our choice. We add a new cash advance check or balance transfer check to the daily balance as of the date the cash advance check or balance transfer check is deposited by a payee, or a later date of our choice. • We subtract from that balance any payments, credits, or credit adjustments that apply to that category and that are credited as of that day. • We treat a credit balance as a balance of zero. To get the beginning balance for each category for the next day, we add the daily periodic finance charge to the daily balance. If more than one daily periodic rate could applyto a category because the rate for the category may vary based on the amount of its average daily balance, we will use the daily periodic rate that applies for the average daily balance amount at the end of the billing cycle to calculate the daily periodic finance charge each day. This agreement provides for daily compounding of finance charges. To get the total periodic finance charge for the billing cycle, we add all of the daily periodic finance charges for each category for each day during that billing cycle. However, if any periodic finance charge is due, we will charge you at least the minimum periodic finance charge stated in the Rates and Fees Table. If it is necessary to add an additional amount to reach the minimum finance charge, we add that amountto the balance for purchases made during the billing cycle. The total finance charge on your account for a billing cycle will be the sum of the periodic finance charges plus anytransaction fee finance charges. for each categorywe calculate an average daily balance (including new transactions) for the billing cycle by adding all your daily balances and dividing that amount by the number of days in the billing cycle. If you multiply the average daily balance for a category by the applicable daily periodic rate, and multiplythe result bythe number of days in the billing cycle, the total will equal the periodic finance charges for that balance attributable to that billing cycle, except for minor variations due to rounding. Grace Period and Accrual of Finance Charges: We accrue periodic finance charges on a transaction, fee, orfinance charge from the date it is added to your daily balance until payment in full is received on your account. However, we do not charge periodic finance charges on new purchases billed during a billing cycle if we receive payment of your New Balance by the date and time your minimum payment is due and we received payment of your New Balance on your previous billing statement by the data and time your payment was due. This exception or "grace period" applies only to purchases and does not applyto balance transfers, balance transfer checks, cash advances, cash advance checks or overdraft advances, if applicable. Transaction fees for Cash Advances: We may charge you a cash advance fee in the amount stated in the Rates and Fees Table for cash advance checks and cash advances. In addition, if you use a third party service to make a payment on your behalf and the service charges the payment to this account, we may charge a transaction lee for the payment. These transaction fees are finance charges. We add the fee to the balance for the related category as of the transaction date of the cash advance. For example, a transaction fee for a cash advance would be added to your cash advance balance. Transaction Fees for Balance Transfers: We may charge you a balance transfer fee in the amount stated in the Rates and Fees Table for balance transfer checks and balance transfers. These transaction fees are finance charges. We add the fee to the balance for the related category as of the transaction date of the balance transfer. For example, a transaction fee for a balance transfer would be added to your balance transfer balance. DTHER FEES AND CHARGES We may charge the following fees. The amounts of these fees are listed in the Rates and Fees Table. These fees will be added to the balance for purchases made during the billing cycle. Annual Membership Fee: If your account has an annual membership fee, it will be billed each year or in monthly installments (as stated in the Rates and Fees Table), whether or not you use your account, and you agree to pay it when billed. The annual Page 2 of 6 CMA12762 membership fee is non-refundable unless you notify us that you wish to close your account within 30 dayp of the date we mail your billing statement on which the annual membership fee is charged and at the same time, you pay your outstanding balance in full. Your payment of the annual membership fee does not affect our right to close your account or limit your right to make transactions on your account. If your account is closed by you or us, we will continue to charge the annual membership fee until you pay your outstanding balance in full and terminate your account relationship. Late Fee: If we do not receive at least the required minimum payment by the date and time it is due as shown on your billing statement for any billing cycle, we may charge the late fee shown in the Rates and Fees Table. If the late fee is based on a balance, we calculate the late fee using the Previous Balance on the current month's statement that shows the late fee. This balance is the same as the New Balance shown on the prior month's statement for which we did not receive at least the required minimum payment by the date and time it was due. Overlimit Fee: If your account balance is over your credit line at any time during a billing cycle, even if only for a day, we may charge an overlimit fee. We may charge this fee even if your balance is overthe credit line because of a finance charge or fee we imposed or a transaction we authorized. We will not charge more than one overlimit fee for any billing cycle. But we may charge an overlimit fee in subsequent billing cycles, even if no new transactions are made on your account, if your account balance still is over your credit line at any time during the subsequent billing cycles. Return Payment Fee: If (a) your payment check or similar instrument is not honored, (b) an automatic debit or other electronic payment is returned unpaid, or (c) we must return a payment check because it is not signed or cannot be processed, we may charge a return payment tee. Return Check Fee: If (a) we stop payment on a cash advance check or balance transfer check atyour request, or (b) we refuse to pay a cash advance check or balance transfer check, we may charge a return check lee. Administrative Fees: If you request a copy of a billing statement, sales draft or other record of your account or it you request two or more cards or any special services (for example, obtaining cards on an expedited basis), we may charge you for these services.

OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO A COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEALTHE DECISION MAY BE MORE LIMITED. EXCEPTAS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BELOW, THOSE RIGHTS ARE WAIVED. Binding Arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by and be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the "FAA'), 9 U.S.C. §1-16 as it maybe amended. This Arbitration Agreement sets forththe circumstances and procedures under which claims (as defined below) may be resolved by arbitration instead of being litigated in court. Parties Covered. For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement,'we', "us", and'our" also includes our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, predecessors, successors, assigns, any purchaser of your Account, and all of their officers, directors, employees, agents, and assigns or any and all of them. Additi on ally, "we", "us" and 'our' shall include anythird parry providing benefits, services, or products in connection withthe Account (including but not limited to credit bureaus, merchants that accept any credit device issued under the Account, rewards programs and enrollment services, credit insurance companies, debt collectors, and all of their officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives) if, and only if, such a third parry is named by you as a co-defendant in any Claim you assert against us. Claims Covered. Either you or we may, without the other's consent, elect mandatory, binding arbitration of any claim, dispute or controversy by either you or us against the other, or against the employees, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, beneficiaries, agents or assigns of the other, arising from or relating in any way to the Cardmember Agreement, any prior Cardmember Agreement, your credit card Account or the advertising, application at approval of your Account ('Claim"). This Arbitration Agreement governs all Claims, whether such Claims are based on law, statute, contract, regulation, ordinance, tort, common law, constitutional provision, or any legal theory of law such as respondeat superior, or any other legal or equitable ground and whether such Claims seek as remedies money damages, penalties, injunctions, or declaratory or equitable relief. Claims subject to this Arbitration Agreement include Claims regarding the applicability of this Arbitration Agreement or the validity of the entire Cardmember Agreement or any prior Cardmember Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement includes Claims that arose in the past, or arise in the present or the future. As used in this Arbitration Agreement, the term Claim is to be given the broadest possible meaning. Claims subjectto arbitration include Claims that are made as counterclaims, cross claims, third party claims, interpleaders or otherwise, and a party who initiates a proceeding in court may elect arbitration with respect to any such Claims advanced in the lawsuit by any party or parties. As an exception to this Arbitration Agreement, you retain the right to pursue in a small claims court any Claim that is within that court's jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual basis. If a party elects to arbitrate a Claim,the arbitration will be conducted as an individual action. Neither you nor we agree to any arbitration on a class or representative basis, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to proceed on such basis. This means that even If a class action lawsuit or other representative action, such as that in the form of a private attorney general action, is filed, any Claim between us related to the issues raised in such lawsuits will be subject to an individual arbitration claim if either you or we so elect. No arbitration will be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding without the consent of all parties. The only Claims that may be joined in an individual action under this Arbitration Agreement are (1) those brought by us against you and any co-applicant, joint cardmember, or authorized user of your Account, or your heirs or your trustee in bankruptcy or (2) those brought by you and any co-applicant, joint cardmember, or authorized user of your Account, or your heirs or your trustee in bankruptcy against us. Initiation of Arbitration. The party filing a Claim in arbitration must choose one of the following two arbitration administrators: American Arbitration Association; or National Arbitration Forum. These administrators are Independent from us. The administrator does not Conduct the arbitration. Arbitration is conducted under the rules of the selected arbitration administrator by an impartial third parry chosen in accordance with the rules of the selected arbitration administrator and as may be provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any arbitration hearing that you attend shall be held at a place chosen by the arbitrator or arbitration administrator within the federal judicial district in which you reside atthe time the Claim is filed, or at some other place to which you and we agree in writing. You may obtain copies of the current rules of each of the two arbitration administrators, information about arbitration and arbitration fees, and instructions for initiating arbitration by contacting the arbitration administrators as follows: American Arbitration Association, 335 Madison Avenue, Floor 10, New York, NY 10017-4605, Web site: www.adr.org, 800-778.7879; or National Arbitration Forum, P0. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405, Web site: www.arbitration-forum.com, 800-474-2371. Procedures and law applicable in arbitration. A single, neutral arbitrator will resolve Claims.The arbitratorwill either be a lawyerwith atleastten years experience or a retired or former judge. The arbitration will be conducted under the applicable procedures and rules of the arbitration administrator that are in affect on the date the arbitration is filed unless those procedures and rules are inconsistent with this Arbitration Agreement, in which case this Agreement will prevail. These procedures and rules may limitthe amount of discovery available to you or us. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and will honor claims of privilege recognized at law. You may choose to have a hearing and be represented by counsel. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect customer Account information and other confidential information, including the use of protective orders to prohibit disclosure outside the arbitration, if requested to do so by you or us. The arbitrator will have the power to award to a parry any damages or other relief provided for under applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against, or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. If the law authorizes such relief, the arbitrator may award punitive damages or attorney fees. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Upon a request by you or us, the arbitrator will provide a brief statement of the reasons for the award. Costs. We will reimburse you for the initial arbitration filing fee paid by you up to the amount of 5500 upon receipt of proof of payment. Additionally, if there is a hearing, we Page 3 of 6 CMA12762 will pay ahy fees of the arbitrator and arbitration administrator for the first two days of that hearing. The payment of any such hearing fees by us will be made directly to the arbitration administrator selected by you or us pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement All other fees will be allocated in keeping with the rules of the arbitration administrator and applicable law. However,we will advance or reimburse riling fees and other toes if the arbitration administrator or arbitrator determines there is good reason for requiring us to do so or you ask us and we determine there is good cause for doing so. Each party will bear the expense of the fees and costs of that party's attorneys, experts, witnesses, documents and other expenses, regardless of which party prevails, for arbitration and any appeal (as permitted below), except that the arbitrator shall apply any applicable law in determining whether a party should recover any or all fees and costs from another party. Enforcement, finality, appeals. Failure or any delay in enforcing this Arbitration Agreement at any time, or in connection with any particular Claims, will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims. Any decision rendered in such arbitration proceeding will be final and binding on the parties, unless a party appeals inwriting to the arbitration organization within 30 days of issuance of the award. The appeal must request a new arbitration before a panel of three neutral arbitrators designated by the same arbitration organization. The panel will reconsider all factual and legal issues anew, follow the same rules that apply to a proceeding using a single arbitrator, and make decisions based on the vote of the majority. Each party will bear their own fees, costs and expenses for any appeal, but a party may recover any or all fees, costs and expenses from another parry, if the majority of the panel of arbitrators, applying applicable law, so determines. An award in arbitration will be enforceable as provided by the FAA or other applicable law by any court having jurisdiction. Severability, survival. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive: (i) termination or changes in the Cardmember Agreement, the Account and the relationship between you and us concerning the Account, such as the issuing of a new account number or the transferring of the balance in the Account to another account; (ii) the bankruptcy of any party or any similar proceeding initiated by you or on your behalf; and (iii) payment of the debt in full by you or by a third party. It any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force.
