Your account is 6 months past due. Please make your minimum payment by the due date shown. To make a payment, please visit us online or call us using the toll free or TTY numbers listed at the top of this statement. If you're having difficulty making payments, please contact us; we may be able to help.

Information About Your Account. How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases. Your payment due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you any interest on purchases if you pay your New Balance by the payment due date each month. This is called a grace period on purchases. To get a grace period on purchases you must pay the New Balance by the payment due date every billing cycle. If you do not, you will not get a grace period until you pay the New Balance for two billing cycles in a row. If you have a balance subject to a deferred interest promotion and that promotion does not expire before the payment due date, that balance (an "excluded balance") is excluded from the amount you must pay in full to get a grace period on a purchase balance other than an excluded balance. However, you must still pay any separately required payment on the excluded promotional balance in billing cycles in which payments are allocated to deferred interest balances first, the deferred interest balance will be reduced before any other balance on the account. However, you will continue to get a grace period on purchases, other than an excluded balance so long as you pay the New Balance less any excluded balance, plus any separately required payment on an excluded balance, in full by the payment due date each billing cycle. In addition, certain promotional offers may take away the grace period on purchases. Other promotional offers not described above may also allow you to have a grace period on purchases without having to pay all or a portion of the promotional balance by the payment due date. If either is the case, the promotional offer will describe what happens. How We Calculate Your Balance Subject to Interest Rate. For each balance, the letter following the Annual Percentage Rate in the Interest Charge Calculation section on the front of the statement indicates the method we use to calculate interest charges. For Methods C, H and M, we use a daily balance method (including current transactions) to calculate interest charges. For Methods I and L, we use an average daily balance method (excluding current transactions) to calculate interest charges. To find out more information about the balance computation method that applies to your account and how the resulting interest charges were determined, contact us at Customer Service number on Page 1 of your statement. Other Account and Payment Information. Payment Amount: You may pay all or part of your account balance at any time. However, you must pay, by the payment due date, at least the Minimum Payment Due.

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.

Definition account means the relationship established between you and us by this Agreement. APR means an annual percentage rate. authorized user means any person you allow to use your account. card means one or more cards or other access devices that we give you to get credit under this Agreement. This includes account numbers. we, us, and our mean Citibank, N.A., the issuer of your account. Citibank, N.A. is located in Sioux Falls, SD. your, your's and yours mean the person who applied to open the account. It also means any other person responsible for complying with this Agreement. Your Account You agree to use your account in accordance with this Agreement. You must pay us for all amounts due on your account. This Agreement is binding on you unless you close your account within 30 days after receiving the card and you have not used or authorized use of the card. Your account must only be used for lawful transactions. Authorized Users. You may request additional cards for authorized users. You must pay us for all charges made by authorized users. You must pay us even if you did not intend to be responsible for those charges. You must notify us to withdraw any permission you give to an authorized user to use your account. Credit Limit. The full amount of your credit limit is available to use where the card is honored. We may reduce or increase your credit limit at any time for any reason as permitted by law. We will notify you of any change, but the change may take effect before you receive the notice. You should always keep your total balance below the credit limit. However, if the total balance goes over your credit limit you still must pay us. If your account has a credit balance, we may reduce the credit balance by any new charges on your account. You may not maintain a credit balance in excess of your credit limit. Billing Statement. Your billing statement shows the New Balance. This is the total amount you owe us on the Statement Closing Date. To determine the New Balance, we begin with the total balance at the start of the billing cycle. We add any purchases. We subtract any credits or payments. We then add any interest charges or fees and make other adjustments. Interest Charges Based on APRs Your billing statement also shows your transactions; the Minimum Payment Due and payment due date; your credit limit; and your interest charges and fees. On the billing statement, a regular "purchase balance will appear under the heading "regular revolve credit plan." When Interest Charges Begin. We begin to impose interest charges the first day we add a charge to a daily balance. The charges we add to a daily balance include purchases, interest charges and fees. We continue to impose interest charges until we credit your account with full payment of the total amount you owe us. Account APRs. For the APRs on your account, see the Fact Sheet. Effect of APR Increases. If an APR increases, interest charges increase. Your minimum payment may increase as well. Promotions We may offer promotional terms for all or a part of any balances. Any promotional terms may apply for a limited period of time. They will be governed by the terms of the promotional offer and this Agreement. Your promotional terms will end when the promotional period expires or, to the extent permitted by law, if you make a late payment. The promotional offer will tell you if we require a separate minimum payment on the promotional balance. If a promotional offer is a deferred interest offer, no interest charges will be imposed on the deferred balance. We will impose interest charges on the deferred interest balance at the APR for regular purchases from the date of purchase if you do not pay the balance in full by the end of the promotional period. Grace Period on Purchases. You can avoid interest charges on purchases. This is called a grace period on purchases. The grace period is at least 25 days. To get a grace period on purchases, you must pay the New Balance by the payment due date every billing cycle, if you do not, you will not get a grace period until you pay the New Balance for two billing cycles in a row. If you have a balance subject to a deferred interest promotion and that promotion does not expire before the payment due date, that balance (an "excluded balance") is excluded from the amount you must pay in full to get a grace period on a purchase balance other than an excluded balance. However, you must still pay any separately required payment on the excluded promotional balance. In billing cycles in which payments are allocated to deferred interest balances first, the deferred interest balance will be reduced before any other balance on the account. However, you will continue to get a grace period on purchases, other than an excluded balance so long as you pay the New Balance less any excluded balance, plus any separately required payment on an excluded balance, in full by the payment due date each billing cycle. In addition, certain promotional offers may take away the grace period on purchases. Other promotional offers not described above may also allow you to have a grace period on purchases without having to pay all or a portion of the promotional balance by the payment due date. If either is the case, the promotional offer will describe what happens Calculation of Interest Charges – Daily Balance Method (including Current Transactions). We calculate interest charges each billing cycle. To do this: • We start with each of your different balances. These balances include, for example, regular purchases and different promotional balances (When we calculate interest charges, we treat each deferred interest transaction separately even if it has the same terms as another deferred interest transaction.) • We calculate the daily balance for each of your different balances. To get a daily balance, we start with the balance as of the end of the previous day. We add any interest charge on the previous day's balance. (This results in daily compounding of interest charges.) We add any new credits or payments. Payments • We multiply each daily balance by the daily periodic rate that applies to it. We do this for each day in the billing cycle. This gives us the daily interest charges for each of your different balances. • We add up all the daily interest charges. The sum is the total interest charge for the billing cycle. • You authorize us to round interest charges to the nearest cent. Minimum Payment Due. You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the payment due date for each billing cycle. The sooner you pay the New Balance, the less you will pay in interest charges. The Fact Sheet shows the minimum payment calculation method that applies to your account. Application of Payments. Payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due are applied in accordance with law. This means that we will generally apply payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due to higher APR balances first. However, excess payments received before a deferred interest promotion expires are applied to the deferred interest promotional balance first in the last two billing cycles of the promotional period. And, if the expiration date of a deferred interest promotion is before the payment due date in the billing cycle in which the deferred interest promotion expires, excess payments received before the deferred interest promotion expires are applied to the deferred interest promotional balance first in the last three billing cycles of the promotional period. Payments equal to or less than the Minimum Payment Due and credits are applied at our discretion and you authorize us to apply payments and credits in a way that is most favorable or convenient for us. This may include applying such payments and credits to lower APR balances first. Minimum Payment Due. You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the payment due date for each billing cycle. The sooner you pay the New Balance, the less you will pay in interest charges. The Fact Sheet shows the minimum payment calculation method that applies to your account. Minimum Interest Charge. If we charge you interest; the Fact Sheet shows the minimum amount we will charge. We add the charge to the regular purchase balance or allocate it among one or more of the balances that accrues interest; Balance Subject to Interest Rate. Your statement show’s a Balance Subject to Interest Rate. It show’s this for each different balance. The Balance Subject to Interest Rate is the average of the daily balances during the billing cycle. A billing cycle begins on the day after the Statement Closing Date of the previous billing cycle. It includes the Statement Closing Date of the current billing cycle. Fees Payment Instructions. We credit your payments in accordance with our payment instructions on the billing statement. You must pay us in U.S. dollars. To do so, you must use a check, similar instrument, or electronic debit that is drawn on and honored by a bank in the U.S. Do not send cash. We can accept late or partial payments, or payments that reflect "paid in full" or other restrictive endorsements, without losing our rights. We also reserve the right to accept payments made in foreign currency and instruments drawn on funds on deposit outside the U.S. If we do, we select the currency conversion rate. We will then credit your account in U.S. dollars after deducting any costs incurred in processing your payment. Or we may bill you separately for these costs. Optional Pay by Phone Service. You may use our optional Pay by Phone Service to make your payment by phone. To do so, call us to request the service.

Arbitration limits • Individual Claims filed in a small claims court are not subject to arbitration, as long as the matter stays in small claims court. • We won't initiate arbitration to collect a debt from you unless you choose to arbitrate or assert a Claim against us. If you assert a Claim against us, we can choose to arbitrate, including actions to collect a debt from you. You may arbitrate on an individual basis Claims brought against you, including Claims to collect a debt. • Claims brought as part of a class action, private attorney general or other representative action can be arbitrated only on an individual basis. The arbitrator has no authority to arbitrate any claim on a class or representative basis and may award relief only on an individual basis. If arbitration is chosen by any party, neither you nor we may pursue a Claim as part of a class action or other representative action. Claims of 2 or more persons may not be combined in the same arbitration. However, applicants, co-applicants, authorized users on a single account and/or related accounts, or corporate affiliates are here considered as one person. How arbitration works • Arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") according to this arbitration provision and the applicable AAA arbitration rules in effect when the claim is filed ("AAA Rules"), except where those rules conflict with this arbitration provision. You can obtain copies of the AAA Rules at the AAA's website (www.adr.org) or by calling 800-778-7879. You or we may choose to have a hearing, appear at any hearing by phone or other electronic means, and/or be represented by counsel. Any in-person hearing will be held in the same city as the U.S. District Court closest to your billing address. • Arbitration may be requested any time, even where there is a pending lawsuit; unless a trial has begun or a final judgment entered. Neither you nor we have the right to arbitrate by filing or serving a complaint, answer, counterclaim, motion, or discovery in a court law suit. To choose arbitration, a party may file a motion to compel arbitration in a pending matter and/or commence arbitration by submitting the required AAA forms and requisite filing fees to the AAA. • The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in accord with this arbitration provision and the AAA Rules, which may limit discovery. The arbitrator shall not apply any federal or state rules of civil procedure for discovery, but the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law and shall take reasonable steps to protect account information and other confidential information of either party if requested to do so. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statute of limitations, and may award damages or other relief under applicable law. • The arbitrator shall make any award in writing and, if requested by you or us, may provide a brief statement of the reasons for the award. An arbitration award shall decide the rights and obligations only of the parties named in the arbitration, and shall not have any bearing on any other person or dispute. Paying for arbitration fees • We will pay your share of the arbitration fee for an arbitration of Claims of $75,000 or less if they are unrelated to debt collection. Otherwise, arbitration fees will be allocated according to the applicable AAA Rules. If we prevail, we may not recover our arbitration fees, unless the arbitrator decides your Claim was frivolous. All parties are responsible for their own attorney's fees, expert fees and any other expenses, unless the arbitrator awards such fees or expenses to you or us based on applicable law. Survival and Severability of Terms This arbitration provision shall survive changes in this Agreement and termination of the account or the relationship between you and us, including the bankruptcy of any party and any sale of your account, or amounts owed on your account, to another person or entity. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the other terms shall remain in force, except that there can be no arbitration of a class or representative Claim. This arbitration provision may not be amended, severed or w aived, except as provided in this Agreement or in a written agreement between you and us.

In your letter, give us the following information: • Account information. Your name and account number. • Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error. • Description of problem. If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake. You must contact us: • Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement. • At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong. You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question. What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter When we receive your letter, we must do two things: 1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your corrected the error. 2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct. While we investigate whether or not there has been an error: • We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on 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 all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at the address for billing inquiries and correspondence shown on the front of 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. 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.

A daily periodic rate is the APR divided by 365. Effect of APR Increases. If an APR increases, interest charges increase. Your minimum payment may increase as well. Daily Balance (including current transactions). We calculate the daily balance for each of your different balances. To get a daily balance, we take the balance at the end of the previous day, add the interest on the previous day's balance and new charges, and subtract new credits or payments. We figure the interest charge by multiplying the daily balance by its daily periodic rate each day in the billing cycle. We then add up all the daily interest charges and the total is the interest charge for the billing cycle. Variable Terms Information Minimum Payment Due. You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the payment due date each billing cycle. The sooner you pay the New Balance, the less you will pay in interest charges. We calculate the Minimum Payment Due as follows. We begin with any past due amount. We add any amount specified in a promotional offer. We add any amount required by the Promotion Calculation. We also add the largest of the following: • The Calculated New Balance if it is less than $29; • $29 if the Calculated New Balance is at least $29; or • 1% of the Calculated New Balance plus the amount of your billed interest charges on that balance, any minimum interest charge allocated to that balance, and any applicable late fee. (The result is rounded up to the nearest dollar.) However, we subtract interest charges that accrued during prior billing cycles on a deferred interest balance that ended during the billing cycle covered by the statement. The Calculated New Balance equals the New Balance on the billing statement less balances subject to the Promotion Calculation and less any balances subject to either of two types of promotional terms. The first type are terms that do not require a minimum payment. The second type are terms that require an additional amount as part of the Minimum Payment Due. If you have a deferred interest transaction balance subject to the Promotion Calculation, the Promotion Calculation will equal 1% of this balance during the promotion period. (The result is rounded up to the nearest cent.) After the promotion period, any such remaining promotional balance will be included in the Calculated New Balance. The Promotion Calculation will apply if, based on the amount of the transaction as shown on the first statement that displays the transaction and the dollar amount in the Minimum Payment Due calculation in effect at the time of the transaction, we determined that paying such dollar amount each billing cycle would result in repayment of the promotional balance before the end of the promotion period. The Minimum Payment Due may reflect adjustments to the New Balance. The Minimum Payment Due is never more than the Calculated New Balance plus two amounts. The first is any amount required by a promotional offer. The second is any amount required by the Promotion Calculation.
