The parties shall cooperate in good faith and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to formulate a more detailed and mutually agreeable description of such tasks, responsibilities and milestones, together with the timelines for completing such tasks, responsibilities and milestones, as shall be advisable to ensure that such launch may be completed on a timely basis and without undue disruption of the parties’ respective operations. Schedule 2.1(b), as modified by mutual agreement as described above, is referred to herein as the “ Launch Plan ”.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that Company’s Affiliate, Target National Bank, shall have and be entitled to exercise its rights and obligations under Applicable Law as owner, issuer and creditor with respect to the Accounts and the Cardholder Indebtedness prior to the Closing Date.

Section 2.2. Credit Program.

(a) Beginning as of the Closing Date, Bank shall originate new Private Label Accounts and issue new Private Label Credit Cards to Applicants that qualify for approval under the Risk Management Policies, and shall extend credit to such new Cardholders subject to the Risk Management Policies and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. Bank shall not originate new Co-Branded Accounts, except as mutually agreed upon by the parties.

(b) Subject to the Risk Management Policies, Bank shall continue to extend credit to existing Cardholders (and shall continue to offer existing credit lines at a minimum, subject to the Risk Management Policies), through the same type of Credit Card held by the existing Cardholder on the Closing Date (i.e., Co-Branded Credit Card Cardholders will continue to have a Co-Branded Credit Card and Private Label Credit Card Cardholders will continue to have a Private Label Credit Card). Bank shall not convert Private Label Credit Cards to Co-Branded Credit Cards or Co-Branded Credit Cards to Private Label Credit Cards, except as mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Section 2.4. Change of Ownership; Reissuance of Credit Cards.

(a) Change of Ownership . Unless Bank informs Company that a different procedure with respect to notification of change of ownership of Accounts is required by Applicable Law (in which case Company shall effectuate such other procedure), Company, as servicer for Bank,

[*] Indicates confidential portions omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the Commission.

shall prepare and send via Inserts, Billing Statement messages, mail and/or e-mail (in cases where Cardholders have opted to receive e-mail notifications and such method of notification is permissible under Applicable Law), a change in ownership notice (i) within three (3) months following the Closing Date to any Purchased Account that has been an Active Account within the twelve (12) months prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) within two (2) Billing Cycles following renewed activity on any other Purchased Account that becomes an Active Account after the Closing Date. The terms and conditions of the Account and/or any amendments thereto shall be included as part of such notices as determined by Bank to be required by Applicable Law. The form, scope and content of any notifications pursuant to this Section 2.4 and the form and content of any terms and conditions or any amendments thereto shall be as mutually agreed, or to the extent not mutually agreed, as determined in accordance with Section 3.4 and Section 3.5. The incremental out-of-pocket costs of any such notices over and above the costs of routine servicing shall be Bank’s sole expense.

(b) Reissuance of Credit Cards . Unless Bank informs Company that a different procedure with respect to Credit Card reissuance is required by Applicable Law or Network Rules (in which case Company shall effectuate such other procedure), the change of ownership shall be reflected on Co-Branded Credit Cards upon reissuance at expiration of such Co-Branded Credit Cards. Company shall have no obligation to reissue any Private Label Credit Cards or unexpired Co-Branded Credit Cards to reflect the change of ownership unless (i) Bank determines that Applicable Law or Network Rules require the reissuance of some or all such Credit Cards or (ii) the parties mutually determine that Program strategy or Cardholder confusion necessitates the reissuance of some or all such Credit Cards; provided, however, that in either case, the parties shall mutually agree on a commercially reasonable schedule for reissuing such Credit Cards. Any such reissuance of Credit Cards in replacement of Co-Branded Credit Cards that were outstanding at the Effective Date, other than any such reissuance at the time of expiration of such outstanding Co-Branded Credit Cards, and any reissuance of Private Label Cards required by Bank pursuant to clause (i) shall be at Bank’s sole expense; provided, however, that any incremental out-of-pocket costs of such Credit Cards caused by any redesign of such Credit Cards by Company as compared with Credit Cards issued prior to the Effective Date shall be borne by Company.

Section 2.5. Exclusivity.

(a) General . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.5, from the Effective Date through the Termination Date, Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, agrees that Company and its Affiliates will not issue or market the issuance of, or enter into or be a party to an agreement or arrangement, other than this Agreement, with any bank or other credit provider to issue or market the issuance of, a consumer credit payment product (whether card- or non-card-based) in the United States, including a consumer private label or consumer co-branded credit card, consumer credit or charge card, or closed-end consumer credit product, bearing a Company Licensed Mark or other mark using the Company name; provided, however, that Company may enter into such an agreement or arrangement no earlier than (i) [*] prior to the expiration of the Term, if a notice of non-renewal has been sent by one party to the other party, or (ii) the delivery of a notice of termination by either party, as long as no accounts are issued under a new program, no solicitations under a new program are made until after the Termination

Date and no other communications shall be sent to Cardholders in connection with such new program prior to the Termination Date except as expressly contemplated by Section 15.2(n).

(c) Promotion of Consumer Credit Payment Products . This Agreement does not restrict in any way Company’s rights to participate from time to time in promotions for consumer credit payment products issued by persons that are not Affiliates of Company and that do not bear a Company Licensed Mark or other mark using the Company name, provided that such promotions are periodic rather than ongoing and that such promotions are of the type customarily participated in by Company’s competitors. For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the foregoing, (i) Company may participate in the offering of gift or prepaid cards that bear Company Licensed Marks or other marks using the Company name as incentives or redemption options in loyalty or rewards programs in connection with consumer credit payment products of third parties, and (ii) Company may permit customers to access [*], as long as such services do not bear a Company Licensed Mark or other mark using the Company name. [*].

(e) Other Payment Products . This Agreement does not restrict in any way Company’s rights with respect to issuance or promotion of (i) any payment products other than as set forth in Section 2.5(a) and Section 2.5(g), including: commercial credit cards; cards issued to Company employees for travel and entertainment, purchasing or other corporate expenditures; co-branded or private label business credit or charge cards; debit cards (including delayed debit cards such as the existing Company debit card); co-branded, private label or third-party gift, prepaid or stored value cards (including pre-paid phone or payroll cards); or deferred payment or layaway programs; (ii) mobile, internet only or other non-card based forms of such payment products, provided such payment products do not involve consumer credit, other than deferred payment or layaway programs; or (iii) products and services offered by Target Credit Union (or any successor credit union); in any case whether or not such cards, products or services bear a Company Licensed Mark or other mark using the Company name.

(f) Second Look Credit Card Program . Notwithstanding Section 2.5(a), Company shall have the right at any time during the Term, at its sole expense, to establish a program offered by Company directly or through one or more third parties, for issuing credit cards, including co-branded or private label credit cards using the Company Licensed Marks or other

Without limiting Company’s confidentiality obligations pursuant to this Agreement, at Company’s reasonable discretion, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Second Look Program may be similar or identical to the Program in its terms, features, positioning and appearance. Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts and take actions reasonably requested by Bank to ensure that such Second Look Program will not cause consumer confusion as to which financial institution is underwriting and providing lending for the Second Look Program. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Bank shall, at Company’s expense, take the following actions in relation to the Second Look Program: (i) with prior notice to the Applicant, passing Credit Card Application data for Applicants that have been or would be declined by Bank to the Second Look Program provider (and amending the Credit Card Application and/or Program Privacy Notice as required by Applicable Law to enable such use of Applicant data), (ii) allowing the Second Look Program provider to use, on a real-time basis and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, information collected by Company or Bank in connection with Applicants that have been or would be declined by Bank and Accounts that would be closed, (iii) collaborating with Company and the Second Look Program provider to offer combined Account Documentation (e.g., Credit Card Applications and Credit Card Agreements), and (iv) facilitating the seamless coordination of any Second Look Program and the Program.

(b) Subject to Section 3.4 and Section 3.5, Company and Bank shall mutually determine whether and on what terms (including with respect to costs and expenses) the Co-Branded Credit Cards shall participate in one or more mobile payments initiatives, whether operated by Bank, Company or third parties, when used outside of Company Channels. Any proposal by a party to have the Co-Branded Credit Cards participate in a mobile payments initiative shall be considered by the other party in good faith and such party’s consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that Cardholders may be able to elect to have their Credit Cards participate in a mobile payments initiative without Company’s or Bank’s consent.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6, nothing in this Agreement shall require or restrict the participation of Company Channels in any mobile payments initiative, which shall be in Company’s sole discretion.

Applicable Law becomes effective (or in the case of any Applicable Law already in effect, at any time such Applicable Law is determined to be required to be applied to Bank or the Program). Prior to implementing any material change to the Risk Management Policies, Bank shall, upon the request of Company, offer Company the opportunity to test such change (except to the extent Bank determines in good faith that testing would not be beneficial) for a limited period of time on a segment of Accounts or region of Stores (as reasonably determined by Bank in consultation with Company to be a segment or region that is representative of the portfolio as a whole (or the portion of the Portfolio to be impacted by the proposed change) but sufficiently small so as not to have an impact on overall Program performance) and evaluate the results of such test with Bank. If Bank proposes to make a modification to the Risk Management Policies, then, unless otherwise agreed by Company, Bank shall deliver all of the following information relating to such proposed modification:

(i) a reasonable description of the proposed modification and Bank’s rationale for the proposed modification;

(ii) a forecast reflecting the projected effects of the modification on key Program indicators (including approval rates for new Accounts and Transactions) and estimated impact to Program profitability of such modification;

Such thirty (30) day negotiation period may be initiated prior to, and must be initiated no later than [*] following, the implementation of a change to the Risk Management Policies as a Bank Matter. During such thirty (30) day negotiation period, the parties shall negotiate in good faith changes to the Program and/or Program economics that may remedy the effect of the planned or implemented change. If such negotiation period takes place before implementation of a planned change, Bank shall be prohibited from implementing such change except to the extent the change is required by Applicable Law. If the parties cannot agree on changes to the Program and/or Program economics, Company may terminate this Agreement upon [*] written notice to Bank, provided that any such termination notice must be issued within [*] after the end of the thirty (30) day negotiation period. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5(d), Company shall not be entitled to initiate a negotiation period or terminate the Agreement in response to a change in Risk Management Policies required by Applicable Law (other than any such change that is the result of Bank applying Applicable Law in a manner that is not consistent with market practice). If Company exercises such termination right, Bank shall be entitled to implement any

planned change, provided that, without limiting Bank’s foregoing right, Bank shall consider in good faith reasonable proposals by Company to provide for an alternative means (in absence of such implementation) to achieve the goals and benefits intended to be obtained by Bank from the implementation of such Risk Management Policy change.

(a) All sharing, use and disclosure of information regarding Applicants, Cardholders and Company Guests shall be subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE VI. The parties acknowledge that while the same or similar information may be contained in Cardholder Data and Company Guest Data, each such pool of data will be considered separate information subject to the specific provisions applicable to that data hereunder. By way of example and not limitation: (i) if a Company Guest receives a Credit Card, Bank may use and disclose the Cardholder Data for all purposes permitted with respect to Cardholder Data hereunder, notwithstanding that the Cardholder originated as a Company Guest; and (ii) if a Cardholder makes a purchase of Goods and/or Services with a Credit Card, Company may use and disclose the Company Guest Data relating to that purchase for all purposes permitted with respect to Company Guest Data hereunder, notwithstanding that such information may also constitute (or include) Cardholder Data.

(b) Each party agrees that any unauthorized use or disclosure of Cardholder Data or Company Guest Data would cause immediate and irreparable harm for which money damages would not constitute an adequate remedy. In that event, the parties agree that injunctive relief shall be warranted in addition to any other remedies a party may have.

Section 6.3. Company Guest Data.

Bank shall cooperate in Company gathering and maintenance of Company Guest Data, including by incorporating in the Credit Card Application and Credit Card Agreement mutually agreed provisions pursuant to which Applicants and Cardholders will agree that they are providing their identifying information (including [*]) and all updates thereto to both Bank and Company. As between Company and Bank, all Company Guest Data and all information about actual or prospective purchasers of Goods and/or Services gathered by or for Company will be owned exclusively by Company.

to enable continuing operation and management of the Accounts (the “ Purchase Option ”), at the purchase price set forth in Section 15.2(d), Section 15.2(e) or Section 15.2(f), as applicable, and on customary terms and conditions (and no more onerous to (i) Bank than those applicable to Company in the Purchase Agreement or (ii) Company or the Nominated Purchaser than those applicable to Bank in the Purchase Agreement).

(c) If such Purchase Option is exercised, Company or a Nominated Purchaser must complete the purchase of the Program Assets within [*] after delivery of the Purchase Notice; provided, however, that consummation of the purchase of the Program Assets shall occur no earlier than the Termination Date; provided, further, that the [*] timeframe may be extended up to [*] after delivery of the Purchase Notice for required regulatory approvals.

If Bank does not elect to require Company to purchase the Existing Receivables, (i) Bank shall own such Existing Receivables and Company shall continue to service such Existing Receivables under the financial terms set forth in ARTICLE VIII and Schedule 8.1 , and (ii) Company shall have the right, as of a purchase date to be mutually agreed upon by the parties, to purchase pursuant to and exercisable only upon a Clean Up Call Option, for a purchase price equal to fair market value as determined in accordance with Section 15.2(g), the remainder of the Existing Receivables that have not been written off in accordance with the Risk Management Policies.

The parties shall provide such information to the Independent Appraisers as is necessary to permit each of the Independent Appraisers to provide a valuation of the Existing Receivables; provided, however, that the information provided to both Independent Appraisers shall be identical. Such appraisals shall be performed on the basis of the assumptions set forth in Schedule 15.2(g) . The fair market value shall be the average of the two (2) closest valuations received from the Independent Appraisers; provided, however, if the median valuation is equal to the mean of the three (3) valuations, the fair market value shall be such median/mean value. The fair market value determined in accordance with this Section 15.2(g) shall be final and binding on the parties and enforceable in any court having jurisdiction. None of the Independent Appraisers can be compensated based on the outcome of their appraisal or the outcome of the fair market value process.

(h) The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize transition costs. Following the provision by either party of notice of termination or non-renewal of this Agreement or the occurrence of an event that gives rise to a right of termination, or at any time during the [*] period preceding the expiration of the Term, promptly upon Company’s request (but in no event later [*] after such request), Bank shall provide (i) Company with Program-related data (and subject to this Section 15.2(h), Company is hereby authorized to use data in its possession, in its capacity as servicer or otherwise) of the type that is both permitted to be disclosed by Applicable Law and typically included in a request for proposal process to allow Company, its advisors and potential bidders to value the Program Assets and provide a comprehensive bid, and (ii) Company and its prospective or actual Nominated Purchasers (and Company, as servicer may provide prospective or actual Nominated Purchasers upon prior notice to Bank) access to the books and records relating to the Program Assets and the performance of the Program, including (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) Account-level data typically accessed in such a process, for the purpose of conducting due diligence investigations to determine whether they wish to purchase the Program Assets; provided, however, that Company and any prospective or actual Nominated Purchaser shall enter into confidentiality arrangements for the benefit of Bank that require the prospective or actual Nominated Purchaser to maintain the confidentiality of such information to the same extent required by this Agreement and not to use the information for any purpose other than the evaluation of whether to make an offer to purchase the Program Assets before providing such data access.

make itself reasonably available to participate in due diligence with Nominated Purchasers.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Agreement shall require Bank to delete Cardholders from general solicitations made by Bank when such Cardholders information was obtained independently from third party sources of information.

(k) If Company exercises its right to purchase or select a Nominated Purchaser to purchase the Program Assets, Bank shall negotiate in good faith with respect to the assignment of Enhancement Products (to the extent such products are not proprietary to Bank’s credit card business), if any, to Company or its Nominated Purchaser.

(l) Upon the Program Purchase Date, Company, as servicer, will notify the three major credit reporting bureaus that the designation on all Accounts purchased shall reflect that such Accounts have been transferred.

ARTICLE XVII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 17.1. Precautionary Security Interest.

Company and Bank agree that this Agreement contemplates the extension of credit by Bank to Cardholders and that Company’s submission of Charge Transaction Data to Bank shall constitute assignment by Company of any and all right, title and interest in such Charge Transaction Data and the Cardholder Indebtedness reflected therein. However, as a precaution in the unlikely event that any person asserts that Article 9 of the UCC applies or may apply to the transactions contemplated hereby, and to secure Company’s payment of and performance of all obligations of Company to Bank, Company hereby grants to Bank a first priority present and continuing security interest in and to all Accounts, all Cardholder Indebtedness, all Account Documentation and all Charge Transaction Data, in each case whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired, together with the proceeds thereof. In addition, Company agrees to take any reasonable action requested by Bank, at Bank’s expense, to establish the first lien and perfected status of such security interest, and appoints Bank as Company’s attorney-in-fact to take any such action on Company behalf; provided that Bank shall be responsible for preparing any such documentation.

Section 17.2. Securitization; Participation.

Bank shall have the right, and nothing herein shall prohibit Bank, from selling, exchanging, securitizing, pledging or participating the Cardholder Indebtedness or any part thereof, by itself or as part of a larger offering, at any time and Bank may provide associated Cardholder Data to a prospective purchaser subject to such prospective purchaser executing a customary confidentiality agreement; provided, however, that (i) such sale, exchange, securitization, pledge or participation shall not affect Company’s rights or Bank’s obligations hereunder, (ii) Company hereby agrees to provide data to support any such sale, exchange, securitization, pledge or participation to the extent such data is available, (iii) Bank shall pay any costs or expenses incurred by Company to support any such sale, exchange, securitization, pledge or participation, and (iv) Bank shall not sell, exchange, securitize, pledge or participate the Cardholder Indebtedness in any manner that would not permit such arrangement to be unwound or not allow for the removal or substitution of Program Assets in order to permit Company to exercise its rights hereunder to purchase the Program Assets pursuant to Section 15.2. Company agrees to use reasonable efforts without being required to incur any out of pocket costs to provide Bank with such information and to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested by Bank with respect to any such transaction.

Section 17.3. Assignment.

Except as provided in this Section 17.3 or as permitted pursuant to Section 17.2, neither party shall assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior consent of the other party; provided, however, that either party may, without the prior consent of the other party, assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (the “ Assigned Interests ”) to a U.S. Affiliate of such party (which Affiliate, in the case of Bank,

[*] Indicates confidential portions omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the Commission.

shall be a U.S. national banking association) only for so long as such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of such party, provided, that (1) (a) such U.S. Affiliate has a long term senior unsecured debt credit rating from Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s (x) in the case of an assignment by Company, equal to or better than any such rating applicable to Target Corporation at the time of such assignment and (y) in the case of an assignment by Bank, equal to or better than any such rating applicable to Bank Guarantor at the time of such assignment or (b) the original party (or its guarantor) or a U.S. Affiliate of such party with an equal or better credit rating provides a guaranty for such U.S. Affiliate in a form reasonably satisfactory to the other party, and (2) such Affiliate has at least the same capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement and, immediately after the assignment of the Assigned Interests, the Assigned Interests will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as being owned by a domestic corporation (as defined under Code Section 7701(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Bank shall notify Company not more than thirty (30) days following the Effective Date of any assignment by Bank which is to be effective prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) Bank shall provide reasonable advance notice, but in no event less than thirty (30) days’ notice, to Company prior to the effective date of any assignment during the Term to enable Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the change from Bank to its assignee as owner of the Accounts, the Cardholder Indebtedness, and the Account Documentation.

Section 17.4. Sale or Transfer of Accounts.

Except as provided in Section 12.2, Section 17.2 and Section 17.3, Bank shall not sell or transfer the Accounts in whole or in part; provided, however, that Bank may sell or transfer written off Accounts and/or written off Cardholder Indebtedness. Bank will not transfer the Accounts or the Cardholder Indebtedness to an entity (i) that is treated as a variable interest entity within the meaning of ASC 860 (“ VIE ”) that has no silos within the meaning of ASC 860 (“ Silos ”) unless the fair value of Cardholder Indebtedness in the VIE is not, and is not expected to be, equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the fair value of all of the VIE’s assets; (ii) that is treated as a VIE that has Silos unless the fair value of the Cardholder Indebtedness in the Silo is not, and is not expected to be, equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the fair value of all of the VIE Silo’s assets; or (iii) that would be required to be consolidated with Company under GAAP.

Section 17.5. Subcontracting.

(a) It is understood and agreed that either party may, upon notice to the other party, utilize Affiliates to perform functions in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Either party may use third party subcontractors located in the United States (and who perform the subcontracted services in the United States) to perform functions in fulfilling its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that each party shall (i) identify to the other not less than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date all such subcontractors that are to provide services material to the Program as of the Closing Date and the locations from which they will provide such services and (ii) give the other not less than (30) days prior notice of any new subcontractor that is to provide services material to the Program following the Closing Date and the location from which it will provide such services. Bank’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for the engagement of any subcontractor to

[*] Indicates confidential portions omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the Commission.

100

the extent it will perform material functions on behalf of Company in its capacity as servicer. If Bank does not object in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, then such non-response shall be deemed acceptance of the subcontractor. Company’s use of third party subcontractors located outside the United States (or who perform subcontracted services from outside the United States) to perform all or any part of the services performed by Company hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.13(b). Company shall monitor all its subcontractors for compliance with this Agreement.

(c) A party utilizing any Affiliate or other Person as provided herein shall be responsible for functions performed by such Affiliates or other Persons to the same extent the party would be responsible if it performed such functions itself.

Section 17.6. Amendment.

Except as provided herein, this Agreement may not be amended except by a written instrument signed by Bank and Company.

Section 17.7. Non-Waiver.

No delay by a party hereto in exercising any of its rights hereunder, or partial or single exercise of such rights, shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. The exercise of one or more of a party’s rights hereunder shall not be a waiver of, or preclude the exercise of, any rights or remedies available to such party under this Agreement or in law or at equity.

Section 17.8. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain valid and be enforced and construed as if such invalid provision were never a part of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 2.3(a)

New Account Terms(1)

TERM		CREDIT CARD
Purchase APR		The APR for purchases is a variable rate and is determined by adding to the Prime Rate a margin of 19.65%. The “Prime Rate” means the highest U.S. Prime Rate published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal. For each billing period we look at the Prime Rate on the last business day of the previous calendar month. Any change in the APR and corresponding DPR will take effect on the first day of the billing period.

Minimum Payment Due		The Cardholder’s minimum monthly payment will be the greater of (i) $25.00; or (ii) the sum of the following: 1% of the new balance (rounded to the next higher whole dollar amount), any interest charges, any returned payment fees, and any late payment fees. The minimum payment due may be rounded to the next higher whole dollar amount. If there is an amount past due, that amount will be included in your minimum payment due. If the new balance is less than $25.00, the Minimum Payment due will be the entire new balance.

Minimum Finance Charge		$1

Balance Computation		Daily Balance

Grace Period		Cardholders will have a payment due date that is at least 25 days after the close of each Billing Cycle. If the Cardholder paid the new balance that was shown on the previous billing statement by the payment due date on that Billing Statement, then (1) Bank will not impose interest charges on purchases during the current Billing Cycle if the Cardholder pays

		the new balance shown on the current Billing Statement by the payment due date on that Billing Statement, and (2) Bank will credit any payment (to the extent the payment is applied to purchases) as of the first day in the current Billing Cycle if the Cardholder makes a payment by the payment due date that is less than the current Billing Cycle’s new balance. If a new balance was shown on the Cardholder’s previous Billing Statement and the Cardholder did not pay the new balance by the payment due date on that Billing Statement, then Bank will not impose interest charges on any purchases during the current Billing Cycle if the Cardholder pays the new balance shown on the current Billing Statement by the payment due date on that Billing Statement. Bank will not change the grace period and interest charge calculation practices currently in effect.

Annual Fee		None

Late Payment Fee		$25.00 when any amount due remains unpaid after the payment due date. Any subsequent late payment fees will be $35.00 until the Cardholder makes the required minimum payment due by the payment due date for six consecutive Billing Cycles. In any event, the late payment fee will not be greater than the minimum payment due for the Billing Cycle for which the payment was late.

Returned Payment Fee		$25.00 each time any check or other payment order (including an electronic payment) is not honored by a depository institution. In any event, the returned payment fee will not be greater than the minimum payment due that was due immediately prior to the date the payment was returned to Bank.

Expedited Delivery Fee		The cost of delivery imposed on Bank, by third parties, to expedite the delivery of a replacement card will be charged to the Cardholder.
