But, if we determine that we made a mistake, you will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount. • While you wait for our investigation into the matter to be completed, we will: • Waive any fees we charged you that were related to the disputed amount while the dispute was in progress. • Not report the amount disputed on your statements or credit reports. 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 you want to dispute must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your principal place of business, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these rules is 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: Synchrony Bank, P.O. Box 71725, Philadelphia, PA 19176-7125 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. Information About Payments: You may at any time pay, in whole or in part, the total unpaid balance without additional charges for prepayment. Payments received after 5:00 p.m. (ET) on any day will be credited as of the next day.

Box 71725, Philadelphia, PA 19176-7125. Credits To Your Account: An amount shown in parentheses or preceded by a minus (-) sign is a credit to your account. Such credits will be applied, unless otherwise indicated, Credits will be applied to your previous balance immediately upon receipt, but will not satisfy any required payment that may be due. Credit Reports And Account Information: If you believe that we have reported inaccurate information about you to a consumer reporting agency, please contact us at P.O. Box 71727, Philadelphia, PA 19176-7127. In doing so, please identify the incorrect information and tell us why you believe it is incorrect. If you have a copy of the report that shows the inaccurate information, please include a copy of that report. We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other delays on your account may be reflected in your credit report. How We Calculate Interest Daily Balance Method: We figure the interest charge on your account by applying the periodic rate to the "daily balance" of your account for each day in the billing cycle. We should divide the daily balance of your account each day (which includes unpaid interest), add any new charges, and subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance. Any daily balance of less than zero will be treated as zero. A separate daily balance will be calculated for each balance type on your account. The balance(s) shown in the Interest Charges section of this statement is the sum of the daily balances for each day in the billing cycle divided by the number of days in the billing cycle. We will not charge you any interest on purchases if you pay your entire balance by the due date each month. Please refer to the due date shown on the front of your statement. We can be relieved of interest on cash advances on the transaction date. If balance transfers are made sent to you, we will begin charging interest on balance transfers on the transaction date. Your Account is owned and serviced by Synchrony Bank.

Variable Rate Information The Prime Rate for a billing period is the highest bank prime loan rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in its Money Rates section on the last business day of the calendar month preceding the first day of the billing period. The Periodic Rate and corresponding APRs may vary. If the Prime Rate increases, the Periodic Rates and corresponding APRs may increase, and as a result the periodic Finance Charge, Total Minimum Payment, and number of payments also may increase. Any change in the Periodic Rates will apply to your entire Account balance (unless otherwise specified in any applicable promotional offer that provides for different terms for that promotion). A change in the Prime Rate will take effect on the first day of the billing period after the change. We may select a new interest rate index if the Prime Rate is not available. SECTION I: RATES AND FEES TABLE SAM'S CLUB MASTERCARD® ACCOUNT AGREEMENT Information from Section I of the Sam's Club Mastercard® Account Agreement is provided in the accompanying Pricing Information Addendum. SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION SAM'S CLUB MASTERCARD® ACCOUNT AGREEMENT How Interest is Calculated <table> <tr> <th>How Interest is Calculated</th> <th></th> </tr> <tr> <td>Your Interest Rate</td> <td>We use a daily rate to calculate the interest on the balance on your account each day. The daily rate is the applicable APR times 1/365. Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in excess of those permitted by applicable law.<br>See the accompanying Pricing Information Addendum about your specific APRs for purchases.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>When We Charge Interest</td> <td>Purchases. We charge interest on your purchases from the date you make the purchase until you pay the purchase in full. See exceptions below.<br> <ul> <li>We will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any purchases if: <ol type="1"> <li>You had no balance at the start of the billing cycle; OR</li> <li>You had a balance at the start of the billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in that billing cycle.</li> </ol> </li> <li>We will credit, as of the start of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate to purchases if: <ol type="1"> <li>You had no balance at the start of the previous billing cycle; OR</li> <li>You had a balance at the start of the previous billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in the previous billing cycle.</li> </ol> </li> </ul><b>Cash Advances.</b> We charge interest on your cash advances, and their related fees, from the date you make the transaction until you pay them in full. You cannot avoid paying interest on cash advances or their related fees.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>How We Calculate Interest</td> <td>We figure the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the daily rate to the daily balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the following balance types, as applicable: purchases, cash advances and balances subject to different interest rates, plans or special promotions. See below for how this works.<br> 1. How to get the daily balance. We take the starting balance each day, add any new charges and fees, and subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance.<br> We apply fees to balance types as follows:<br> (a) late payment fees are treated as new purchases;<br> (b) debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each balance;<br> (c) cash advance fees are added to the cash advance balance; and<br> (d) foreign transaction fees are added to the purchase balance.<br> 2. How to get the daily interest amount. We multiply each daily balance by the daily rate that applies.<br> 3. How to get the starting balance for the next day. We add the daily interest amount in step 2 to the daily balance from step 1.<br> 4. How to get the interest charge for the billing cycle. We add all the daily interest amounts that were charged during the billing cycle.<br> We charge a minimum interest charge in any billing cycle in which you owe interest. This charge is added proportionately to each balance type. See the accompanying Pricing Information Addendum for the amount of your minimum interest charge.</td> </tr> </table> How Fees Work <table> <tr> <th>Cash Advance Fee</th> <td>We will charge this fee for each cash advance you make. For ATM cash advances this fee is in addition to any fee the ATM owner may charge you for use of the ATM.</td> </tr> <tr> <th>Foreign Transaction Fee</th> <td>If you make a transaction with your account in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Mastercard will convert the transaction amount into U.S. dollars using its currency conversion procedure. Under the currency conversion procedure that Mastercard currently uses, the non-U.S. dollar transaction amount is converted into a U.S. dollar amount by multiplying the transaction amount in the non-U.S. dollar currency by a currency conversion rate. Mastercard's currency conversion procedure is based on rates observed in the wholesale market or government-mandated rates, where applicable. The currency conversion rate that Mastercard uses for a particular transaction is the rate for the applicable currency on the date that the transaction occurred. However, in limited situations, particularly where transaction submissions to Mastercard for processing are delayed, the currency conversion rate that Mastercard uses may be the rate for the applicable currency on the date that the transaction is processed.</td> </tr> <tr> <th>Late Payment Fee</th> <td>We will charge this fee if we do not receive the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on the due date. See the accompanying Pricing Information Addendum for the amount of the fee.</td> </tr> </table> Minimum Payment Calculation See the accompanying Variable Terms Addendum for how the total minimum payment is calculated. Special Promotional Financing Offer Information At times, we may offer you special financing promotions for certain transactions ("special promotions"). The terms of this Agreement apply to any special promotion. However, any special promotional terms that are different than the terms in this Agreement will be explained on promotional advertising. Below is a description of certain special promotions that may be offered: <table> <tr> <th></th> <th></th> </tr> <tr> <td>• No Interest if Paid in Full Within 6 Months</td> <td>For each promotion, if the promotional balance is not paid in full within the promotional period, interest will be imposed from the date of purchase at the APR that applies to your account when the promotional purchase is made.<br>This APR may vary with the market based on the prime rate. See the accompanying Pricing Information Addendum for your Purchase APR.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>• No Interest if Paid in Full Within 12 Months</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>• No Interest if Paid in Full Within 18 Months</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>• No Interest if Paid in Full Within 24 Months</td> <td></td> </tr> </table> When you make a qualifying purchase under one of these promotions, no interest will be assessed on the purchase if you pay the following (the "promotional balance") in full within the applicable promotional period: (1) the promotional purchase amount, and (2) any related optional credit insurance/debt cancellation charges. If you do not, interest will be assessed on the promotional balance from the date of the purchase. Minimum monthly payments are required. Regular account terms apply to non-promotional purchases and, after promotion ends, to promotional purchases. Offers are subject to credit approval. These promotional offers may not be available at all times for all purchases. Please see any special promotion advertising or other disclosures provided to you for the full terms of any special promotion offered.

IF YOU DO NOT REJECT IT, THIS SECTION WILL APPLY TO YOUR ACCOUNT, AND MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. THIS MEANS THAT: (1) NEITHER A COURT NOR A JURY WILL RESOLVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING; (3) LESS INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE LIMITED. 1. CLAIMS AND PARTIES. If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you (including any other user of your account), and us (including our parents, affiliates, agents, employees, officers, and assignees) that directly or indirectly arises from or relates to your account, your account Agreement or our relationship, except as noted below. In addition, the following are intended beneficiaries of this Arbitration section and may enforce it in full (notwithstanding any state law to the contrary): (a) Sam's Club and its affiliates; and (b) any assignee, agent, or service provider of ours that collects amounts due on your account. 2. This Arbitration section broadly covers claims based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional torts, negligence, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity and claims for money damages and injunctive or declaratory relief, even if they arose before this section took effect. You may not sell, assign or transfer a claim. 3. Examples of claims subject to arbitration are disputes about an account transaction, fees, charges or interest, the events leading up to the Agreement (such as any disclosures, advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements, warranties or representations made by us), an application for or denial of credit, any product or service provided by us or third parties in connection with the Agreement, credit reporting, benefit programs related to your account including any reward program, the collection of amounts due by our assignees, service providers, or agents and the manner of collection. 4. However, we will not require you to arbitrate any individual case in small claims court or your state's equivalent court, so long as it remains an individual case in that court. Also, even if all parties have opted to litigate a claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any claim made by a new party or any claim later asserted by a party in any related or unrelated lawsuit, including modifying an individual claim to assert a class, representative or multi-party claim. Arbitration may be requested at any time, even where there is a pending lawsuit, unless a trial has begun, or a final judgment entered. 5. Only a court will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration section or any part thereof. However, any dispute that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator to decide. 6. NO CLASS ACTIONS. IF EITHER YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT (A) TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER, OR (B) TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS WITH CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER PERSONS EXCEPT ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT. THUS, YOU MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY ACCOUNTHOLDER WHO IS NOT AN ACCOUNTHOLDER ON YOUR ACCOUNT, AND YOU AGREE THAT ONLY ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE JOINED IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE. 7. PROCEDURES. The party who wants to arbitrate must notify the other party in writing. This notice can be given after the beginning of a lawsuit or in papers filed in the lawsuit. Otherwise, your notice must be sent to Synchrony Bank, Legal Operation, P.O. Box 29110, Shawnee Mission, KS 66201-5320, ATTN: ARBITRATION DEMAND. The party seeking arbitration must select either the American Arbitration Association (AAA), 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271, www.adr.org, or JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com, to administer the arbitration. If neither administrator can handle the dispute, a court with jurisdiction will appoint an arbitrator. 8. The arbitration administrator will appoint the arbitrator and will tell the parties what to do next. The arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least ten years of legal experience. The arbitrator must apply the same law, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), that would apply to an individual action in court, but may use different procedural rules. The arbitrator will apply the same statutes of limitation and privileges that a court would apply if the matter were pending in court. 9. The arbitrator may award any damages or other relief or remedies that would apply under applicable law to an individual action brought in court, including, without limitation, punitive damages (governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts) and injunctive, equitable, and declaratory relief (but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim). The parties will bear the fees and costs of their attorneys, witnesses and experts. However, the arbitrator will have the authority to award fees and costs of attorneys, witnesses and experts to the extent permitted by the Agreement, the administrator’s rules or applicable law. 10. The arbitration will take place by phone or at a location reasonably convenient to you. If you ask, we will pay all the fees the administrator or arbitrator charges if you cannot obtain a waiver of fees from the administrator and are acting in good faith. We will always pay arbitration costs required by the administrator’s rules or that are necessary for this Arbitration section to be enforced. 11. GOVERNING LAW. This Arbitration section is governed by the FAA. Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant under the FAA, unless otherwise stated herein. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. The arbitration award and any judgment confirming it will apply only to the specific case and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award. 12. SURVIVAL. This Arbitration section shall survive the repayment of all amounts owed, the termination, cancellation or suspension of the Agreement or your account or credit privileges, any legal proceeding, and any bankruptcy by you, to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. If this Arbitration section conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of the Agreement, this Arbitration section shall govern. 13. SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Arbitration section is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force with the following two exceptions. First, if a determination is made that the “No Class Actions” provision is unenforceable, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then this Arbitration section shall be void in its entirety. Second, if a court determines that a public injunctive relief claim may proceed notwithstanding the “No Class Actions” provision, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the public injunctive relief claim will be decided by a court, and any individual claims will be arbitrated. The parties will ask the court to stay the public injunctive relief claim until the other claims have been finally concluded. 14. HOW TO REJECT ARBITRATION. You may reject this Arbitration section. If you do that, a court will resolve any dispute or claim. To reject this section, send us a notice within 45 days after you open your account or we first provided you with your right to reject this section. The notice must include your name, address, account number, and personal signature, and must be mailed to Synchrony Bank, P.O. Box 965012, Orlando, FL 32896-5012. This is the only way you can reject this section. Rejecting this Arbitration section will not affect any other provision of the Agreement. It will also not affect any prior arbitration agreement or dispute resolution provision between you and us, which will remain in full force and effect. If you don’t reject this Arbitration section, it will be effective as of the date of the Agreement and will supersede any prior arbitration agreement between you and us that would otherwise be applicable.
