ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS
"Account" means the credit account with us established by this Agreement.
"APR" means annual percentage rate.
"Card" means one or more cards or other access devices, including your Account number
or virtual card, that we issue to you to receive credit under this Agreement.
"Cash Advance" means any use of your Card to obtain cash, including foreign

a cash equivalent. This includes, without limitation, withdrawals from an ATM, cashing
convenience checks, money orders, traveler's checks, lottery tickets, gaming chips or tokens,

Any transaction fee, charge, or interest imposed on a Cash Advance also is considered a Cash

This amount is shown on each monthly statement under the heading "New Balance."
"Charge" means any charge on your Account, including without limitation, any Purchase,
Cash Advance, fee, or interest charge.
"Cut-Off Time" means the latest time by which payment can be made to be credited as
of the day of receipt shown on your monthly statement.
"Prime Rate" means the highest bank prime loan rate 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 cycle. If the Wall Street Journal does not
publish the Prime Rate, a similar published rate will be the "Prime Rate" for purposes
of this Agreement.
"Purchase" means any charge to your Account to buy goods or services.
USING YOUR ACCOUNT
You may use the Card to make Purchases and obtain Cash Advances only for personal,
family or household purposes from any person or establishment accepting the Card.
You are not permitted to use your Card for business purposes.
You agree to use the Card only for legal and lawful purposes. The Card may not be used for illegal
transactions or for the purpose of paying us on this or any other form of credit account
you may have with us or Prosper. If you use your Card for any such purpose,
you will be in default under this Agreement and we may block such transactions and/or
terminate your Account, but you still will be liable to us for all Charges relating to
such transactions and all other transactions on your Account at the time it is closed.
Promise to Pay. You promise to pay us for all amounts charged to the Account, including all Purchases and interest charged to your Account. You are obligated to repay us for all transactions made using your Card by people you have authorized to use the Card even if their use of the Card exceeds the authorization which you gave them.
Credit Limit. We may grant you credit up to a maximum amount (your "Credit Limit"). Your current Credit Limit will be shown on each monthly statement. You promise not to exceed your Credit Limit. However, if you exceed your Credit Limit, we can still charge you for all Purchases, other Charges, and interest without giving up any of our rights. If we ask you to promptly pay the amount of your Account balance above your Credit Limit, you agree to do so. At our discretion, we may (1) block or permit transactions that would exceed your Credit Limit and (2) change your Credit Limit at any time without advance notice to you.
Monthly Statements. We will send you a monthly statement for any billing period as required by applicable law. Your monthly statement will show, among other things, (1) the unpaid balance on your Account at the beginning of the billing period (the "Previous Balance"); (2) any Charges, interest and other debits posted to your Account in that billing period; (3) any payments and credits posted to your Account in that billing period; and (4) the Minimum Payment you must pay and the date your Minimum Payment is due ("Payment Due Date").
Transactions in Foreign Currencies. If you make a Charge in a currency other than U.S dollars, then the applicable card network (such as Mastercard) converts the amount of the Charge in a foreign currency into U.S. dollars (unless another party, such as the merchant, converts the Charge amount before submission to the card network). The card network follows its own procedures for such conversion. These procedures include how the card network chooses an exchange rate and when it performs the conversion. The exchange rate that a card network uses to convert the Charge to U.S. dollars may differ from the rate in effect on the date of the Charge. The card network’s procedures may change without notice. Any costs resulting from the card network’s procedures, including from the exchange rate selected by the card network, will be reflected in the Charge posted to your Account. If a third party, such as a merchant, converts the amount of a Charge into U.S. dollars before sending the Charge to a Card Network, the third party chooses the conversion rate instead of the Card Network. The same conversion process may apply if any Charge originally in a foreign currency is reversed or credited back to your Account. Please also see "Transaction Fee for Charges in Foreign Currency" below.
Pre-authorized Recurring Merchant Transaction. You may authorize a merchant to automatically initiate a Charge on a recurring basis to your Account. Upon the issuance by us of a new Card with a new Account number or expiration date, you may be required to contact the merchant to provide such updated information in order to continue the recurring transactions. You must contact the merchant if you want to cancel automatic billing.
Unauthorized Use. If your Card or device is lost, stolen or if your Account is used without your consent, call us immediately at 1-800-903-4697. You will not be liable for unauthorized use on your Account, but you will be responsible for all use by anyone you allow to use your Account or a Card, even if you did not intend for them to make a Charge.
APRs AND INTEREST
Your Interest Rates. Your Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) are shown above in the Rate and Fee Summary.
We apply the APRs to your Account balances. We do this every day by using a "Daily Periodic Rate."
To get a Daily Periodic Rate, we divide the APR by 365. The APRs applicable to your Account will be equal
to the Prime Rate plus a numerical margin ("Margin"). For example, if the Prime Rate for a billing
cycle is [4%] and the Margin is [21%], the APR would be [25%] for the billing period. Please see the
Rate and Fee Summary above for the APRs and Margins applicable to your Account. As noted in the
Rate and Fee Summary, your Account has a different APR for Cash Advances than Purchases and other
Charges that are not Cash Advances. When calculating interest, we apply the APR for Cash Advances to the portion
of your Account balance that qualifies as a Cash Advance and apply the APR for Purchases to any other
portion of your Account balance.
Variable APRs. If the Prime Rate increases, your APRs and Daily Periodic Rates will increase. As a result, interest, your total minimum payment and the number of payments it would take you to pay off your Account balance may increase. We apply any change in rates because of a Prime Rate change to your entire Account balance. A change in the Prime Rate will take effect on the first day of the first billing period after the change. We may select a new interest rate index if the Prime Rate is not available.
Average Daily Balance Method (including new transactions): We calculate interest separately for each transaction type (e.g. Purchases, Cash advances, and each promotional balance if applicable). For each transaction type, on the last day of the billing period we calculate the interest by multiplying the applicable Daily Periodic Rate by the Average Daily Balance and by the number of days in the billing period. You authorize us to round interest to the nearest cent. We then add the interest to your balance for that transaction type. The total interest charged for a billing period equals the sum of the interest charge for each transaction type. To determine an "Average Daily Balance" for a transaction type, we calculate a daily balance each day of the billing period. For each transaction type, we start with the previous balance, which may include unpaid interest and fees imposed in previous billing periods. Each day, we add any new transactions for each transaction type, which may include fees and interest; subtract any payments or credits for each transaction type; and make other adjustments. We treat any credit balance as a balance of $0. Then, we add up all the balances for the billing period, and divide the total by the number of days in the billing period. This gives us the Average Daily Balance.
AVOIDING INTEREST
When Interest Begins: Interest begins on a transaction, fee or interest from the day we add
it to the daily balance. We continue to impose interest until you pay the total amount you owe us.
You can avoid interest on Purchases as discussed below, but not on cash advances which accrue interest
from the date of transaction.
Grace Period on Purchases: Interest does not accrue while your account is in a "Grace Period." Your Account enters a Grace Period if (1) you pay the New Balance shown on your current statement in full by the Payment Due Date, or (2) your Account had no Previous Balance for the prior billing period. When your Account is not in a Grace Period, we charge interest on Purchases made in the current billing period from the date of the Purchase and such interest will continue to accrue on Purchases until you pay the New Balance in full. If you are in a Grace Period, interest may appear on your next monthly statement that reflects interest assessed from the beginning of the billing period through the date that you entered into a Grace Period.
FEES
Annual Fee. The annual fee for your Account is $39.
We will waive the annual fee for the first year if you sign
up for autopay before we issue your first statement. We assess this annual fee on your first monthly statement
after opening your Account and each year after that. We will charge this annual fee every year if your Account
is open, even if you don’t have a balance. If you close your Account within 30 days of the closing date of the
monthly statement on which the annual fee appears, then we will refund the annual fee appearing on that
statement. For Account closures after this 30-day period, the annual fee is non-refundable.
Late Payment Fee. If we do not receive the Minimum Payment Due by its Payment Due Date, the fee is $29. If this happens again within the next six (6) billing cycles, the fee is $40. However, the late fee will not exceed the Minimum Payment Due.
Transaction Fee for Charges in Foreign Currency. If you make a Charge in a currency other than U.S dollars, then we will charge you a transaction fee equal to 1% of the converted U.S. dollar amount of the Charge. This fee is a finance charge. See "Transactions In Foreign Currencies" above for additional details on Charges in a currency other than U.S dollars.
PAYMENTS
Minimum Payment Due. You may pay, without penalty and at any time, all or any part
of your balance. You must pay at least your total minimum monthly payment required
("Minimum Payment Due"), which is calculated as follows:
Your "Minimum Payment Due" equals:
Payment Due Date. We must receive at least the Minimum Payment Due on your Account by the Cut-Off Time on the Payment Due Date for each billing period. The Minimum Payment Due and Payment Due Date are shown on each monthly statement. Payments received after the Cut-Off Time will be credited to your Account no later than the next business day. Credit to your Account may be delayed for up to five (5) days if we receive a payment that does not adhere to the requirements set forth in this section and on your statement. For your payment to be considered on time, we must receive at least the Minimum Payment Due in such time and manner by the Payment Due Date shown on your monthly statement. The available credit on your Account may not reflect your payment for up to eight (8) business days or longer if we doubt the collectability of the payment or if we suspect fraudulent activity on your Account. Nonetheless, we will credit your payment to your Account as of the business day that we receive it (provided we receive it prior to the Cut-Off Time).
How to Make Payments.
You must pay by following the instructions on your monthly statement and in this Agreement.
Your payment must be made in U.S. dollars. If you do not pay in U.S. dollars and we accept your payment,
you authorize us to select the currency conversion rate, and you must pay our conversion costs.
You agree not to send us physical currency. If you do, we have the right to return the currency to the address
it is received from and not credit the payment to your Account. You must not include any restrictive
endorsements on or with any payment instrument and we have the right to accept payments without accepting
any such restrictive endorsements.
If your payment meets the above requirements, we will credit it to your Account as of the day we receive it,
as long as we receive it by the Cut-Off Time. If you do not meet the above requirements,
then we may not accept your payment, or there may be a delay in crediting your Account.
This may result in late fees and additional interest charges to your Account.
We do not give up any rights under this Agreement if we accept a payment marked "payment in full"
or given with any other conditions or limitations.
Payment Allocation.
We credit your payments in accordance with our payment instructions of applying to interest charges first
and then to balances due. You authorize us to apply any payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due
in any manner we choose of consistent with applicable law. This may include applying amounts over
the Minimum Payment Due first to the balance with the highest APR, then to the balance with the next
highest APR, and so forth, except as otherwise required by applicable law Payments must be made in US dollars;
do not send cash. This means that we will generally apply payments in excess of
the Minimum Payment Due to older transactions first. Credits are applied at our discretion and you
authorize us to apply payments in a way that is most favorable or convenient for us.
Events of Default. Subject to applicable law, we may consider your Account in default
at any time if: (1) you fail to pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date;
(2) you attempt to engage in a transaction over the Credit Limit; (3) you make a payment that is
returned unpaid to us for any reason; (4) you breach any term under this Agreement;
(5) we determine that any statement made by you to us or Prosper in connection with this Agreement,
your Card or your Account was false or misleading, or we suspect you of fraudulent intent;
(6) you breach any terms under any other agreement
that you have with us or Prosper or with any the affiliates of any of them;
(7) you file for bankruptcy or some other insolvency proceeding is filed by or against you;
(8) you are declared incompetent or mentally incapacitated, or in the event of your death.
Default Remedies Including Collection Costs. Upon your default and subject to any limitations
or requirements of applicable law: (1) we may declare the entire amount you owe us immediately due and
payable and/or suspend or cancel your Account privileges; and (2) you agree to pay all reasonable costs,
including all court costs plus all reasonable attorneys’ fees if we must refer your
Account for collection to any attorney who is not our employee.

important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer

of Military Annual Percentage Rate and the payment schedule applicable to your Account,
required under the Military Lending Act.
If you are a covered borrower as defined by the Military Lending Act
(a "Covered Borrower"), then this Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with the Military Lending Act,
including its restrictions on permissible credit terms and limitations on interest, charges, and fees.
The limitations on interest and fees apply to individuals while they are Covered Borrowers,
provided such individuals are Covered Borrowers as of the date they execute this Agreement.
As applied to Covered Borrowers: (i) any interest, charges, or fees in excess of the permitted
limit shall be reduced by the amount necessary to satisfy that limit and any amounts collected
in excess of the permitted limit shall be refunded by crediting your Account or by making a direct payment
to you; and (ii) any provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent with the Military
Lending Act shall not apply.
Without limiting the foregoing, the provision in this Agreement called "Resolving a Dispute with Arbitration"
shall not be applicable to, and shall not be enforceable against, any Covered Borrower.
(i) | "Claim" means any dispute, claim, or controversy (whether based on contract, tort, intentional tort, constitution, statute, ordinance, common law, or equity, whether pre-existing, present, or future, and whether seeking monetary, injunctive, declaratory, or any other relief) arising from or relating in any way to the Agreement or your relationship with us. The term "Claim" has the broadest possible meaning, and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross claims and third- party claims. It includes disputes based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity (including any claim for injunctive or declaratory relief).
