RECITALS

          WHEREAS, Bank is in the business of originating various types of consumer loans, including open-end revolving loan accounts to qualifying Company customers; and
          WHEREAS, the Parties entered into the Original Program Agreement to develop a program pursuant to which Company markets, and Bank originates open-end revolving loan accounts to qualifying Company customers identified by Company to enable consumers to purchase Company’s Merchandise, with Company administering the program and servicing the open-end revolving loan accounts in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Program Agreement; and,
          WHEREAS, the Bank and Company are parties to that certain Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of July 23, 2009 pursuant to which the Company purchases the Receivables originated under the Original Program Agreement, with such Receivables Sale Agreement being amended and restated contemporaneously with this Agreement.; and
          WHEREAS, the Parties desire that this Agreement replace and supersede the Original Program Agreement as of the Effective Date.
AGREEMENT
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the terms, conditions, representations and warranties, and mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bank and Company mutually agree as follows:
1.   Definitions. The terms used in this Agreement shall be defined as set forth in Schedule 1.
2.   Marketing of Accounts; Offering Debt Waiver Product.
  (a)   At its own cost, Company shall promote and market the Program and the Accounts via the Internet and any other form of media determined to be appropriate by Company. Bank shall have the right to direct the Company not to promote or market the Program through any media channels or vendors that Bank deems, in its

 


 

      reasonable discretion, to be unsuitable or harmful to Bank’s reputation. Bank agrees that Company may refer to Bank and the Program in promotional and marketing materials, including marketing scripts, upon the condition that any references to Bank and/or the Program in any such materials which relate to the extension of credit by Bank or Bank’s participation in the Program must receive the prior written Approval of Bank, which decision shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Company shall ensure that all promotional and marketing materials and marketing strategies relating to the Program, including without limitation the extension of credit by Bank, shall be accurate, not misleading, and comply with Applicable Laws.
  (b)   At its own cost, Company, on behalf of Bank, shall offer and promote to Applicants and Borrowers a debt waiver product with terms and features recommended by Company and approved by Bank in its sole discretion, initially as described in Exhibit L attached hereto (“Debt Waiver Product”), and as amended, modified, or otherwise changed from time to time, subject to prior written approval of Bank, which decision shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Company shall administer the Debt Waiver Product in accordance with the Debt Waiver Product Terms and Conditions described in Exhibit M attached hereto, and as amended, modified, or otherwise changed from time to time by Bank. Company agrees that it will promptly cancel or suppress, as applicable, any indebtedness of Borrower under an Account in accordance with the Debt Waiver Product purchased by such Borrower.
  (c)   Bank shall pay Company an amount equal to the amounts actually collected from Borrowers for the purchase of the Debt Waiver Product (“Premiums”), less the fees retained by Bank in the following amounts: (i) [ * ] of Premiums collected during each Measuring Period; (ii) [ * ] of Premiums collected during each Measuring Period between [ * ]; and (iii) [ * ] of Premiums collected in excess of [ * ] during each Measuring Period. In the event that Company collects any Premiums on behalf of Bank, Company shall pay Bank the applicable fees for all such Premiums collected during any calendar month not later than ten (10) days following the end of such calendar month.

All Accounts shall be originated by Bank using the origination system of Company or its designated service provider. Company acknowledges that approval of an Application creates a creditor-borrower relationship between Bank and Borrower which involves, among other things, the

      establishment of an account, the extension of credit, the disbursement of loan proceeds, and the collection of loan payments by Bank. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Bank to extend credit to an Applicant or make an advance on an Account if Bank determines that doing so would be an unsafe or unsound banking practice; provided, however, that in such an event, Bank shall notify Company of its determination.
  (b)   Subject to the provisions for Minimum Origination Fees in subsection (c) below, Company shall pay to the Bank an origination fee (“Origination Fee”) for each Account Advance equal to: (i) [ * ] for the first [ * ] of Receivables originated by Bank in each Measuring Period; (ii) [ * ] over [ * ] of Receivables originated by Bank in each Measuring Period; and, (iii) [ * ] over [ * ] of Receivables originated by Bank in each Measuring Period, including during any Renewal Term. Company shall pay the Origination Fee to Bank in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Sale Agreement.
  (c)   Company shall pay Origination Fees in the minimum amounts (“Minimum Origination Fees”) of: (i) [ * ] for months one (1) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the calendar month in which the Launch Date occurs) through twelve (12) following the Launch Date; (ii) [ * ] for months thirteen (13) through twenty-four (24) following the Launch Date; and, (iii) [ * ] for months twenty-five (25) through thirty-six (36) following the Launch Date and for each Measuring Period thereafter. An amount equal one-twelfth (1/12) of the Minimum Origination Fees shall be paid to the Bank on a monthly basis (for example, [ * ] per month during months one (1) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the calendar month in which the Launch Date occurs) through twelve (12) following the Launch Date) for each calendar month after the Launch Date (“Minimum Monthly Payment”), with a pro-rated portion of the Minimum Monthly Payment being paid to the Bank for a partial calendar month, if any, immediately following the Launch Date. To the extent the payment made in respect of Origination Fees paid during any calendar month are less than the then applicable prorated Minimum Monthly Payment, the Company shall pay such difference to Bank not later than five (5) Business Days from the conclusion of each month and each subsequent month thereafter until such time as the aggregate Origination Fees paid equal the then applicable Minimum Origination Fees. Company shall make the payment in respect of Origination Fees above and beyond the Minimum Monthly Payments once the aggregate of the Origination Fees exceed the sum of the Minimum Monthly Payments at any time during each

With the exception of the Credit Policy, Exhibit B, the Consumer Finance Materials shall not be changed without the prior written consent of both Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however that Bank may change the Consumer Finance Materials upon written notice provided to Company, but without Company’s prior written consent, to the extent that Bank is advised by legal counsel or a Regulatory Authority that such change is required by Applicable Laws or necessitated by safety and soundness concerns. In addition, Company will notify Bank if any of the form communications to Applicants and Borrowers relating specifically to the extension of credit, which forms the Company has provided, or will provide to the Bank prior to the Launch Date, are changed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change may be made to the Credit Policy, Exhibit B, unless such change has been approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion. The Parties acknowledge that each Account Agreement and all other documents referring to the creditor for the Program shall identify the Bank as the creditor for the Accounts at the time of Account origination, and that all checks or other items in repayment of Account Advances shall be made payable to Bank or its assigns so long as Bank owns such Account Advances. Company shall ensure that the Consumer Finance Materials comply with Applicable Laws; provided however, that Company shall not be responsible to the extent Bank makes changes to the Consumer Finance Materials pursuant to this section without the previous written consent of Company, except to the extent any such changes are made pursuant to advice or direction delivered in accordance with Section 28 hereof.

  (b)   Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank and its Affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, representatives, shareholders, agents and attorneys of such entities (the “Bank Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses that may arise from Bank’s participation in the Program as contemplated by the Program Documents, (including Losses arising from a violation of Applicable Laws or a breach by Company or its agents, subcontractors, or representatives of any of Company’s obligations or undertakings under the Program Documents and notwithstanding any materiality qualifier made in connection with any of the Company’s representations and warranties set forth herein), unless such Loss results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank.
  (c)   The Company Indemnified Parties and the Bank Indemnified Parties are sometimes referred to herein as the “Indemnified Parties,” and Company or Bank, as an indemnitor hereunder, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party.”
  (d)   Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall immediately notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of any notice of the assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by any third party of any legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action, or if the Indemnified Party determines the existence of any such claim or the commencement by any third party of any such legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action, whether or not the same shall have been asserted or initiated, in any case with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is or may be obligated to provide indemnification (an “Indemnifiable Claim”), specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss, and, if known, the amount, or an estimate of the amount, of the Loss, provided that failure to promptly give such notice shall only limit the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the actual prejudice, if any, suffered by such Indemnifying Party as a result of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable thereafter information and documentation reasonably requested by such Indemnifying Party to defend against the claim asserted.
  (e)   The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of any notification of an Indemnifiable Claim (a “Claim Notice”) to notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim and, through counsel of its own choosing, and at its own expense, to commence the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith if such cooperation is so requested and the request is reasonable; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall hold the Indemnified Party harmless from all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes responsibility for the settlement or defense of any such claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate at the Indemnifying Party’s expense in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party (subject to the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that, in the event that both the Indemnifying Party

 


 

      and the Indemnified Party are defendants in the proceeding and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably determined and notified the Indemnifying Party that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the fees and expenses of one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in the aggregate shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Indemnifiable Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed for any reason if the settlement involves only payment of money, and which consent may be withheld for any reason if the settlement involves more than the payment of money, including any admission by the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any such Indemnifiable Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) where such Indemnifiable Claim involves a Bank’s Regulatory Authority, Bank shall retain the right to control the settlement or defense thereof whether Bank is an Indemnifying Party or an Indemnified Party, and (ii) if Bank is the Indemnified Party, Bank shall be entitled to the Indemnifying Party’s cooperation and indemnification, including out-of-pocket expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Bank.
  (f)   If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice that it elects to undertake the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim described therein, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to contest vigorously any such Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, upon notice to the Indemnifying Party, to contest, settle or compromise the Indemnifiable Claim in the exercise of its reasonable discretion; provided that the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party at least five (5) Business Days prior to any compromise or settlement of any such Indemnifiable Claim. No action taken by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) shall deprive the Indemnified Party of its rights to indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.
  (g)   The terms of this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
12.   Term and Termination.
  (a)   This Agreement shall have an initial term commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through August 19, 2013 (the “Initial Term”) and shall renew automatically for successive additional terms of twelve (12) months each (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either Party provides notice of non-renewal to the other Party at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term or this Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof.
  (b)   In addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Bank under this Agreement or by law, Bank shall have the right to suspend payments of the

 


 

      Settlement Amounts due to Company (as required under Section 7(a) of this Agreement) during the period commencing with the occurrence of any monetary default, including but not limited to the failure to maintain the Required Balance in the Collateral Account, and ending when such condition has been cured. Notwithstanding such suspension right, Bank may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Company if Company defaults on its obligations to make a payment to Bank as provided in Section 2 of the Receivables Sale Agreement, or to deposit funds into the Collateral Account as provided in Section 34 of the Receivables Sale Agreement and, in each case, fails to remedy such default within two (2) Business Days after notice thereof from Bank. In the event of any termination, Company shall immediately discontinue processing Accounts and Account Advances under the terms of the Agreement.
  (c)   Bank shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Company if Bank’s continued participation in the Program has been prohibited pursuant to an order or other action, including any letter or directive of any kind, by Bank’s Regulatory Authority.
  (d)   In addition to the termination right set forth in Section 28 herein, a Party shall have a right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other Party in any of the following circumstances:
  (1)   any representation or warranty made by the other Party in this Agreement shall be incorrect in any material respect and shall not have been corrected within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof has been given to such other Party;
 
  (2)   the other Party shall default in the performance of any material obligation or undertaking under this Agreement and such default shall continue for thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof has been given to such other Party;
 
  (3)   the other Party shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization, or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, conservator, custodian, or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, conservator, custodian, or other similar official or to any involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due, or shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing;
 
  (4)   an involuntary case or other proceeding, whether pursuant to banking regulations or otherwise, shall be commenced against the other Party

 


 

      seeking liquidation, reorganization, or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, conservator, custodian, or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property; or an order for relief shall be entered against either Party under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect that is not dismissed within thirty (30) days;
 
  (5)   there is a materially adverse change in the financial condition of the other Party; or
 
  (6)   either Party has terminated the Receivables Sale Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof and any applicable notice period provided therein shall have expired.
  (e)   Upon termination of the Agreement by Company pursuant to Section 12(d), at the written request of Company, and subject to Section 12(i) below, Bank shall continue to operate the Program for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days following receipt of Company’s written notice of termination, so long as both Parties continue to perform their respective obligations under the Program during the period contemplated in this Section 12(e). At the conclusion of such period, Bank shall assign to Company or a designee of Company upon such terms and conditions as are reasonably agreeable to Bank all Accounts originated by Bank pursuant to this Agreement, provided, however, that Company or its designee shall also purchase all outstanding Receivables owned by Bank in connection with Accounts originated under the Program. If at the conclusion of such period Company is not able to accept the assignment of the Accounts and has not identified a designee to accept assignment of the Accounts upon such terms and conditions as are reasonably agreeable to Bank, Bank may close all Accounts. All costs associated with closing or transferring Accounts shall be borne by Company.
  (f)   Except as provided in Section 12(e), Bank shall not be obligated to approve Applications or establish new Accounts or make any advance on any Account after termination of this Agreement.
  (g)   The termination of this Agreement either in part or in whole shall not discharge any Party from any obligation incurred prior to such termination, provided that if this Agreement is terminated for any of the events set forth in subsection 12(c), subsection 12(d)(3), or subsection 12(d)(4), Company shall not be required to pay any additional Origination Fee. To secure the obligations of Bank to perform under the Program Documents, Bank hereby grants to Company a security interest in all Accounts and all Account Agreements. In the event Company validly terminates this Agreement, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, Company may exercise all rights and remedies under the Program Documents and under any Applicable Law; provided however, that the security interest granted in this subsection 12(g) may be enforced only in the event that Company validly terminates this Agreement for one or more of the events set forth in subsection

 


 

      12(d). No termination nor rejection or failure to assume the executor’s obligations under this Agreement in the bankruptcy or receivership of either Party shall be deemed to impair or affect the obligations pertaining to any executed obligations, including, without limitation warranties by either Party pertaining to the obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.
  (h)   Except as provided in Section 12(e), upon termination of this Agreement, Bank shall assign to Company or a designee of Company upon such terms and conditions as are reasonably agreeable to Bank all Accounts originated by Bank pursuant to this Agreement, provided, however, that Company or its designee shall also purchase all outstanding Receivables owned by Bank in connection with Accounts originated under the Program. If at the conclusion of such period Company is not able to accept the assignment of the Accounts and has not identified a designee to accept assignment of the Accounts upon such terms and conditions as are reasonably agreeable to Bank, Bank may close all Accounts. All costs associated with closing or transferring Accounts shall be borne by Company.
  (i)   Bank’s obligation to operate the Program, establish Accounts or make advances on any Accounts subsequent to a notice of termination or termination of this Agreement shall in all cases be subject to Applicable Laws and/or regulatory requirements. Further, immediately upon termination of this Agreement, Company shall discontinue offering the Program as a purchase payment option for Company’s Merchandise, including without limitation the removal of all references to the Program from all of the Company’s websites.
  (j)   The terms of this Section 12 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
13.   Confidentiality.
  (a)   Each Party agrees that Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall be used by each other Party (the “Restricted Party”) solely in the performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights pursuant to the Program Documents. Except as required by Applicable Laws or legal process, the Restricted Party shall not disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to third parties; provided, however, that the Restricted Party may disclose Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party (i) to the Restricted Party’s Affiliates, agents, representatives or subcontractors for the sole purpose of fulfilling the Restricted Party’s obligations under this Agreement (as long as the Restricted Party exercises commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit any further disclosure by its Affiliates, agents, representatives or subcontractors), provided that in all events, the Restricted Party shall be responsible for any breach of the confidentiality obligations hereunder by any of its Affiliates, agents (other than Company as agent for Bank), representatives or subcontractors, (ii) to the Restricted Party’s auditors, accountants and other professional advisors, or to a Regulatory Authority, or (iii) to the Administrative Agent, other lenders to Bluestem and Bluestem’s other financing sources, or (iv) to any other third party as

 


 

      mutually agreed by the Parties.
  (b)   A Party’s Confidential Information shall not include information that:
  (1)   is generally available to the public;
 
  (2)   has become publicly known, without fault on the part of the Restricted Party, subsequent to the Restricted Party acquiring the information;
 
  (3)   was otherwise known by, or available to, the Restricted Party prior to April 28, 2008; or
 
  (4)   becomes available to the Restricted Party on a non-confidential basis from a Person, other than a Party to this Agreement, who is not known by the Restricted Party after reasonable inquiry to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Disclosing Party or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Restricted Party.
  (c)   Upon written request or upon the termination of this Agreement, each Restricted Party shall return to the Disclosing Party all Confidential Information in its possession that is in written form, including by way of example, but not limited to, reports, plans, and manuals; provided, however, that a Restricted Party may maintain in its possession all such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party required to be maintained under Applicable Laws relating to the retention of records for the period of time required thereunder.
  (d)   In the event that a Restricted Party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, the Restricted Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive the Restricted Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the Disclosing Party does not seek such a protective order or other remedy, or such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Disclosing Party grants a waiver hereunder, the Restricted Party may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which the Restricted Party is legally compelled to disclose and will exercise such efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party so furnished as the Restricted Party would exercise in assuring the confidentiality of any of its own Confidential Information.
  (e)   The terms of this Section 13 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
14.   Proprietary Material.

 


 

  (a)   Each Party (“Licensing Party”) hereby provides the other Party (“Licensee”) with a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable limited license to use and reproduce the Licensing Party’s name, logo, registered trademarks and service marks (“Proprietary Material”) on the Applications, Account Agreements, marketing materials, and otherwise in connection with the fulfillment of Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Licensee shall at all times comply with written instructions provided by Licensing Party regarding the use of its Proprietary Material, and (ii) Licensee acknowledges that, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, it will acquire no interest in Licensing Party’s Proprietary Material, including without limitation, any and all goodwill arising from the Licensee’s use of the Licensing Party’s Proprietary Material, which shall inure solely to the Licensing Party. Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensee will cease using Licensing Party’s Proprietary Material.
  (b)   No Licensee shall use the Licensing Party’s Proprietary Material for any purpose other than as set forth in subsection (a) above whatsoever without the prior written consent, in each instance, of the Licensing Party. Further, no Licensee shall at any time adopt or use, without the Licensing Party’s prior written consent, any variation of Licensing Party’s Proprietary Material, including translations, or any mark likely to be similar to or confusing with any of the Licensing Party’s Proprietary Material. In the event that Licensing Party consents to any variation of Licensing Party’s Proprietary Material, the Licensee hereby agrees that Licensing Party shall own such new mark and shall, at its cost and expense, file and obtain in Licensing Party’s name all United States and international trademark registrations.
15.   Relationship of Parties. The Parties agree that in performing their responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement, they are in the position of independent contractors. This Agreement is not intended to create, nor does it create and shall not be construed to create, a relationship of partner or joint venturer or any association for profit between Bank and Company.
16.   Expenses.
  (a)   Except as set forth herein, each Party shall bear the costs and expenses of performing its obligations under this Agreement.
  (b)   Company shall bear all of its expenses in the originating and servicing of the Accounts. Company shall also pay all costs of obtaining credit reports, performing initial and ongoing credit and compliance screening, and delivering adverse action notices.
  (c)   Company shall pay all wire transfer and ACH costs for transfers by Bank under the Program. Company shall reimburse Bank for all third party bank fees incurred by Bank in connection with the performance of this Agreement.
  (d)   Company shall reimburse Bank for Bank’s reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in the performance of on-site reviews of Company’s financial condition, operations, internal controls and subcontracting arrangements in accordance with

 


 

      Section 18 hereunder; provided, however, all such out of pocket expenses shall be invoiced by the Bank on a monthly basis and paid for by Company at the Bank’s actual cost therefore, and shall not include any corporate allocations, administrative fees, mark-ups imposed by the Bank, or other non-reimbursable expenses of inspection to be borne by Bank specifically provided in Section 18 hereunder.
  (e)   On the Effective Date, Company shall pay Bank [ * ] as a one-time implementation fee, which shall be fully earned as of the Effective Date and non-refundable.
  (f)   The Company shall pay such other costs and expenses as are set forth on the Term Sheet.
  (g)   Each Party shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state, or local taxes or assessments associated with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and for compliance with all filing, registration and other requirements with regard thereto.
  (h)   Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Bank, Company shall reimburse Bank for all of Bank’s closing costs and legal fees incurred in the due diligence, negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Company shall be responsible for all of Bank’s ongoing legal fees associated with the Program.
17.   Examination. Each Party agrees to submit to any examination that may be required by a Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over the other Party, during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, and to otherwise provide reasonable cooperation to the other Party in responding to such Regulatory Authorities’ inquiries and requests relating to the Program.
18.   Inspection; Reports. Each Party, upon reasonable prior notice from the other Party, agrees to submit to an inspection of its books, records, accounts, and facilities relevant to the Program, from time to time, during regular business hours subject, in the case of Bank, to the duty of confidentiality it owes to its customers and banking secrecy and confidentiality requirements otherwise applicable under Applicable Laws. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all expenses of inspection shall be borne by the Party conducting the inspection. Notwithstanding the obligation of each Party to bear its own expenses of inspection, in accordance with Section 16(d), Company shall reimburse Bank for reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by Bank in the performance of on-site reviews of Company’s financial condition, operations, internal controls and subcontracting arrangements. Company shall store all documentation and electronic data related to its performance under this Agreement consistent with its existing document and data storage and retention practices as of the date hereof and shall make such documentation and data available during any inspection by Bank or its designee. From time to time upon Bank’s request, Company shall report to Bank regarding the performance of its obligations, including the performance of its Account servicing obligations according to the service level standards (Exhibit O).

19.   Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to the rules, policies, or principles thereof with respect to conflicts of laws. THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING HEREUNDER.
20.   Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining portions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering such provision or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.
21.   Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations created under it shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, and permitted assigns. Neither Party shall be entitled to assign or transfer any interest under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that Bank may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations arising hereunder to the surviving entity in a merger, sale, acquisition, or consolidation in which it participates. No assignment under this Section 21 shall relieve Bank or Company of its obligations under this Agreement. Company may use subcontractors in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that Company shall be fully responsible for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors, including the subcontractors’ compliance with the terms of the Agreement and all Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the prohibition on assignment in the second sentence of this Section 21, Bank hereby acknowledges and consents to (i) the sale, transfer and assignment by Company of all of its right, title and interest (but excluding all of Company’s obligations, including, without limitation, Company’s obligations under Section 34 of the Receivables Sale Agreement) in, to and under the Receivables, the Account Agreements and the Program Documents, whether now existing or hereafter acquired (the “Assigned Interests”), pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement (“RPA”), dated as of August 20, 2010 between Company and Fingerhut Receivables I, LLC (“Fingerhut Receivables”), as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, or refinanced, restated or replaced (with the same or different financing sources), from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof upon the prior written notification to Bank, and (ii) in connection with the Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) dated as of August 20, 2010 by and among Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent (in such capacity, and including any successor thereto, the “Administrative Agent”), collateral agent (in such capacity, and including any successor thereto, the “Collateral Agent”), joint lead arranger, joint bookrunner, syndication agent and documentation agent and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, or refinanced, restated or replaced (with the same or different financing sources), from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the grant of a security interest by Fingerhut Receivables in all of its right, title and interest in the Assigned Interests to the Collateral Agent, and the enforcement of such security interest by the Collateral Agent, in each case pursuant to the Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) dated as of August 20, 2010 between Collateral Agent and Fingerhut Receivables, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, or refinanced, restated or replaced (with the same or different financing sources), from time

 


 

    to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Bank hereby further acknowledges and consents to the exercise of the rights, title and interest in the Assigned Interests directly by Fingerhut Receivables to the extent permitted by the RPA, and by the Collateral Agent to the extent permitted by the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in exercising such rights in the Assigned Interests permitted by the RPA and the Security Agreement, neither Fingerhut Receivables nor the Collateral Agent shall have any greater right, title and interest than Company’s right, title and interest in the Assigned Interests, and the Bank shall have any and all rights and defenses against Fingerhut Receivables and the Collateral Agent as it would have had against the Company.
22.   Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating a third-party beneficiary relationship between either Party and any other Person; provided, however, (i) Fingerhut Receivables, (ii) the Administrative Agent and (iii) the Collateral Agent (collectively, the “Third Party Beneficiaries”) shall each be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
23.   Notices. All notices and other communications that are required or may be given in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed received (i) on the day delivered, if delivered by hand; (ii) on the day transmitted, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail with receipt confirmed; or (iii) the following Business Day after the date of mailing to the other Party, if mailed for next-day delivery and delivered by a reputable overnight courier with package tracing capability, at the following address, or such other address as either Party shall specify in a notice to the other:

24.   Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties. The failure of a Party to require the performance of any term of this Agreement or the waiver by a Party of any default under this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent enforcement of such term and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be enforced.
25.   Entire Agreement. The Program Documents, including exhibits, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous negotiations or oral or written agreements with regard to the same subject matter.
26.   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by the Parties in any number of counterparts, and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
27.   Interpretation. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments thereto, and the same shall be construed neither for nor against either Party, but shall be given a reasonable interpretation in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and the intent of the Parties.
28.   Agreement Subject to Applicable Laws. If (a) either Party has been advised by legal counsel of a change in Applicable Laws or any judicial decision of a court having jurisdiction over such Party or any interpretation of a Regulatory Authority that, in the view of such legal counsel, would have a materially adverse effect on the rights or obligations of such Party under this Agreement or the financial condition of such Party, (b) either Party shall receive a request of any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over such Party, including any letter or directive of any kind from any such Regulatory Authority, that prohibits or restricts such Party from carrying out its obligations under this

 


 

    Agreement, or (c) either Party has been advised by legal counsel that such Party’s or the other Party’s continued performance under this Agreement would violate Applicable Laws then the Parties shall meet and consider in good faith any modifications, changes or additions to the Program or the Program Documents that may be necessary to eliminate such result. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program Documents, including Section 12 hereof, if the Parties are unable to reach agreement regarding such modifications, changes or additions to the Program or the Program Documents within ten (10) Business Days after the Parties initially meet, either Party may terminate this Agreement upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Party. A Party may suspend performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or require the other Party to suspend its performance of its obligations under this Agreement, upon providing the other Party advance written notice, if any event described in subsections 28(a), (b) or (c) above occurs.
29.   Force Majeure. If any Party shall be unable to carry out the whole or any part of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event, then the performance of the obligations under this Agreement of such Party as they are affected by such cause shall be excused during the continuance of the inability so caused, except that should such inability not be remedied within thirty (30) days after the date of such cause, the Party not so affected may at any time after the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, during the continuance of such inability, terminate this Agreement on giving written notice to the other Party and without payment of a termination fee or other penalty. To the extent that the Party not affected by a Force Majeure Event is unable to carry out the whole or any part of its obligations under this Agreement because a prerequisite obligation of the Party so affected has not been performed, the Party not affected by a Force Majeure Event also is excused from such performance during such period. A “Force Majeure Event” as used in this Agreement shall mean an unanticipated event that is not reasonably within the control of the affected Party or its subcontractors (including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of governmental authorities, strikes, war, riot and any other causes of such nature), and which by exercise of reasonable due diligence, such affected Party or its subcontractors could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, overcome or obtain, or cause to be obtained, a commercially reasonable substitute therefore. No Party shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder if its failure of performance is due to removable or remediable causes which such Party fails to remove or remedy using commercially reasonable efforts within a reasonable time period. Either Party rendered unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event shall give prompt notice of such fact to the other Party, followed by written confirmation of notice, and shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with all reasonable dispatch. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to suspend payments of the Settlement Amounts due to Company (as required under Section 7(a) of the Revolving Loan Product Program Agreement) during the period commencing with the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event resulting in Company’s monetary default, including its failure to maintain the Required Balance in the Collateral Account, and ending when such Force Majeure Event has been cured.
30.   Jurisdiction; Venue. The Parties consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts in Salt Lake City, Utah for any court action or proceeding. The

 


 

    terms of this Section 30 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
31.   Insurance. Company agrees to maintain insurance coverages on the terms and conditions specified in Exhibit H at all times during the term of this Agreement and to notify Bank promptly of any cancellation or lapse of any such insurance coverage.

WebBank Gettington Credit Account Agreement This is the Agreement which covers your credit account (called your “Account”) with WebBank for purchases you make with Gettington. You can use your Account to purchase goods or services from Gettington or any merchant authorized to accept your Account, and to pay for goods and services offered in connection with your Account. You may only use your Account for personal, family, and household purposes. You and WebBank will be bound by this Agreement from the first time a transaction is posted to your Account. In this Agreement, and in your monthly statements (“Statements”), the words “you” and “your” refer to all persons named on the credit account we issue or who have signed application or acceptance forms, and the words “we”, “us” and “our” refer to WebBank. Your Promise to Pay. You promise to pay for (a) credit extended by WebBank to you or anyone you allow to use your Account; (b) interest charges, late fees, and all other charges provided in this Agreement or that you (or anyone you allow to use your Account) agree to pay; and (c) collection costs and attorneys’ fees as permitted by applicable law if your Account should go into default. If your Account is a joint Account, all joint Account holders promise to pay and be jointly and individually responsible for all amounts due under this Agreement. Available Credit. We will assign you a credit limit, and we will indicate your current credit limit on each Statement. You agree not to exceed the credit limit that we establish for you. If you request a transaction that would exceed the credit limit, we may decline it or we may allow the transaction without increasing your credit limit. You will be obligated to pay any amount in excess of your credit limit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. We may increase or reduce your credit limit, or suspend or terminate your Account, at any time with or without cause. We will provide notice to you to the extent required by applicable law. Statements. We will send you a Statement covering each billing cycle in which you have a balance [including deferred balances, if applicable), or if required by law. Billing cycles are approximately one month long. Each Statement will reflect: (a) the total amount you owed on the first day of your billing cycle (called the “previous balance”), which will include any deferred balance (see below under the heading “Deferral Periods”); (b) payments, credits, purchases and interest charges, and all other charges made to your Account during the billing cycle; (c) the total amount you owed at the end of the billing cycle (called “new balance”); (d) the minimum payment you must make (called the “minimum payment”); and (e) the date by which the minimum payment must be paid to avoid a late charge. Account Plans. Your Account offers you two payment plans for purchases: the Easy Option standard plan and the Fast Option promotional plan. Each time you make a purchase, you will choose the plan to which your purchase should be added. Your minimum payment amount and your interest charges are different for the two plans. Payments. Each month, your minimum payment is due by the date set forth on the Statement, which will be at least 24 days from the Statement date. Your payment due date will always be the same date each month. You may pay more than the minimum payment, up to the entire new balance, at any time. Calculating your minimum payment. Your minimum payment each month will be the combined total of your Easy Option minimum payment amount and the Fast Option minimum payment amount, plus any amount that is past due.

 


 

Easy Option. Your Easy Option minimum payment amount is determined by the purchases and balances on the Easy Option plan. When you make a purchase using the Easy Option plan, if you do not already have an outstanding Easy Option plan balance, then your Easy Option minimum payment amount will be equal to 5.5% of the original purchase price or $20.00, whichever is greater at the time of purchase. This minimum payment amount will remain fixed until any one of the following events occurs: (a) any return is posted to your Easy Option plan; (b) a new purchase is added to your Easy Option plan. When any of these events occurs, we will recalculate the Easy Option minimum payment amount to be equal to 5.5% of the Easy Option balance or $20.00, whichever is greater at the time of our recalculation. When your payments reduce your Easy Option balance to $0, then the Easy Option minimum payment due will be equal to $0. Fast Option. When you make a purchase using the Fast Option plan, we will tell you the minimum payment for that purchase, which is calculated to allow you to pay for the purchase and related interest charges by making four equal monthly payments. If you make late payments or pay less than the required minimum payment, then you may be required to make additional payments for your Fast Option purchases. Because each purchase you make on the Fast Option plan has a separately calculated minimum payment, your total Fast Option minimum payment due is equal to the sum of the minimum payments for each of your purchases made using the Fast Option plan. After the first four payments for a purchase, the minimum payment for that purchase will be equal to any unpaid amount of that purchase and any interest charges on that purchase. If your total new balance is equal to, or no more than $5.00 greater than, the amount that we calculate for your minimum payment, then your minimum payment will be equal to your total new balance. Payment Instructions. All payments made by mail must be made by check or money order, following the instructions in this Agreement and on your Statement. You agree that we may return any payment you make, without applying the payment to your Account and without presentment or protest, for reasons including, but not limited to, that the check or money order: (1) is not drawn on the U.S. Post Office or a financial institution located in the United States; (2) is missing a signature; (3) is drawn with different numeric and written amounts; (4) contains a restrictive endorsement; (5) is post-dated; (6) is not payable to WebBank or its assigns; or (7) is not payable in U.S. dollars. If we accept a check payment made in U.S. dollars and drawn on a financial institution not located in the United States, you agree to pay any bank collection fees we incur. We can accept late or partial payments, or checks or money orders marked “Payment in Full” or otherwise restrictively endorsed, without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. All payments under this Agreement must be received at the address specified on your billing statement. Payments may also be made electronically on the web or phone, by ACH payment from a checking or savings account. However, you may not make a payment using any credit card issued by WebBank. We may charge a processing fee for payments made, when made with the assistance of a service representative of the company for an expedited payment posted on the same day. The fee will be disclosed at the time you request to make the payment. How We Figure Periodic Interest Charges. We figure your total periodic interest charges each month by adding together the interest charges applicable to your Easy Option plan and the interest charges applicable to your Fast Option plan. We will also add any deferred interest charges in connection with deferred interest promotions, if applicable. If the total periodic interest charges for a month are les s than $0.50 then we charge a minimum periodic interest charge of $0.50 which we will apply to the applicable balance.

 


 

Determining the Interest Charge on your Easy Option Plan and your Fast Option Plan. To determine the amount of interest charges applicable to each of the Easy Option plan and the Fast Option plan, we multiply the Average Daily Balance for each plan times the monthly periodic rate for that plan. Average Daily Balance. To get the Average Daily Balance for each of the Easy Option and Fast Option plans, we take the beginning balance of that plan of your Account each day, add any new purchases on the plan that day, and subtract any payments or credits we apply to the plan that day. We add interest charges to each feature on a monthly basis. We add other charges and fees, such as late fees, to the Easy Option plan on the day that such charges or fees are posted to the Account. If your Account has an overall credit balance, we treat this as a $0 balance. This gives us the daily balance for each plan. Then we add up all the daily balances for each plan for each day in the billing cycle and divide each total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the Average Daily Balance for each plan. Monthly Periodic Rate. We determine the monthly periodic rate as follows: ® For your Easy Option plan, an Annual Percentage Rate (or APR) of 19.90% (corresponding monthly periodic rate 1.658%) applies to your Easy Option Plan balances and purchases during the Easy Option Period. This is a non-variable rate. ® For your Fast Option plan, an Annual Percentage Rate (or APR) of 14.90% (corresponding monthly periodic rate 1.242%) applies to each purchase during the Fast Option Period. This is a non-variable rate. The amount of periodic interest charges and APRs are subject to change. See below under the heading “Change of Terms (including Interest Charges).” When interest charges begin to accrue. Interest charges begin to accrue on each purchase on the date of the purchase. However, if you paid the new balance on your previous Statement by the payment due date shown on that statement, then: (1) if you pay the new balance on your current billing statement by the payment due date shown, we impose no interest charges on purchases during the current billing cycle, and (2) if you make a payment by the payment due date shown on your current statement that is less than the new balance, we will credit that payment as of the first day in your current billing cycle. In addition, if your previous Statement reflected a new balance and you did not pay that new balance in full by the payment due date on that previous statement, then we will not impose interest charges on any purchases during the current billing cycle if you pay the new balance shown on your current Statement by the payment due date reflected on that current Statement. Deferral Periods. From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to enter into promotions. Terms of these promotions will be provided in connection with any offers. Late Fees. Late fees will be equal to your minimum payment due with a maximum amount of up to $25.00 for the first time offense and will increase to a maximum amount of $30.00 if you have not made your payment by the due date in each of your next 6 billing cycles. The late fee will never be greater than your minimum payment due to which the late fee relates. Returned Payment Fees. Returned payment fees will be equal to your minimum payment with a maximum amount of up to $25.00 for the first time offense and will increase to a maximum amount of $30.00 if you have any returned payments in your next 6 billing cycles. The returned payment fee will never be greater than your most recent minimum payment due.

 


 

Application of Payments. Each payment you send to us will be applied to your Account in a manner consistent with applicable law. Generally, we will apply your payment first to satisfy all minimum payments due for your Easy Option and Fast Option plans. Change of Terms (including Interest Charges). Subject to applicable law, we may change or terminate any term of this Agreement or add new terms at any time, including, without limitation, adding or increasing fees, increasing your minimum payment and increasing the rate or amount of interest charges or changing the method of computing the balance upon which interest charges are assessed. Prior written notice will be provided to you when required by applicable law. Changes may apply to new and outstanding balances. Default. You will be in default under this Agreement if: (a) you fail to make at least the minimum payment by the Payment Due Date specified on your Statement; (b) you violate any other provision of this Agreement; (c) you die; (d)you become the subject of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; (e)you or any part of your property becomes the object of attachment, foreclosure, repossession, lien, judgment, or garnishment proceedings; (f) you fail to provide to us any information we reasonably deem necessary; (g) you supply us with misleading, false, incomplete or incorrect information; (h) we receive information indicating that you are unable to perform the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (i)you move out of the United States; or (j) you use your Account in an unlawful manner. Upon default, we have the right to require you to pay your entire Account balance (including all deferred purchases and all accrued but unpaid charges) immediately, and to sue you for what you owe. You will pay our court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other collection costs related to the default to the extent permitted by applicable law. Following any default, any balances outstanding under this Agreement will continue to accrue interest charges until paid in full and will be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except that we will apply your payments first to attorneys’ fees and other court costs, and then in the order set forth in the Application of Payments section.

This Agreement will be governed by Federal Law, and to the extent State law applies, by the law of Utah, whether or not you live in Utah and whether or not this Account is used outside of Utah. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void or unenforceable under any applicable law, rule or regulation, all other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable (except as specifically addressed in the Arbitration provision). Our failure to exercise any of our rights under this Agreement will not be deemed to waive our rights to exercise such rights in the future. This Agreement is a final expression of the agreement between you and us and this Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of any alleged oral agreement. Arbitration. Please review this provision carefully. It provides that any dispute may be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court and the right to have a jury decide a dispute. Under this provision, your rights may be substantially limited in the event of a dispute. You may opt out of this Arbitration provision by following the instructions below. By accepting this Agreement, unless you opt out by following the instructions below, you agree that either you or we, at our sole discretion, can choose to have any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or our relationship resolved by binding arbitration. If arbitration is chosen by any party, neither you nor we will have the right to litigate that dispute in court or to have a jury trial on that dispute. Pre-arbitration discovery will be permitted only as allowed by the arbitration rules. In addition, you will not have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to any dispute subject to arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision will generally be final and binding. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also not be available in arbitration. It is important that you read the entire Arbitration provision carefully before accepting the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of this Arbitration provision, “dispute” shall be construed as broadly as possible, and shall include any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, regulatory, tort or otherwise, whether pre-existing, present or future and including constitutional, statutory, common law, intentional tort and equitable claims) arising from or relating to this Agreement, the credit offered or provided to you, or the goods or services you purchase; the actions of yourself, us, or third parties; or the validity of this Agreement or this Arbitration provision. It includes disputes brought as counterclaims, cross claims, or third party claims. A party that has brought a dispute in a court may elect to arbitrate any other dispute that may be raised in that litigation. Disputes brought as part of a class action or other representative basis are subject to arbitration on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. In this Arbitration provision, the words “we,” “us,” and “our” shall include WebBank and any assignees of any of

 


 

WebBank’s rights, any merchant from which you purchased goods or services using your Account, as well as their respective affiliates, servicers, employees, agents, and further assigns. Any arbitration under this Arbitration provision shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the rules applicable to the resolution of consumer disputes in effect when the dispute is filed. The arbitrator shall have no authority to hear any disputes on a class action or representative basis. Neither you nor we may consolidate or join the disputes of other persons who may have similar disputes into a single arbitration, other than the disputes of or against joint account holders. You may obtain rules and forms by calling the AAA at ###-###-#### or visiting www.adr.org. Any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in the Federal judicial district where you reside. We will not elect arbitration of any dispute that is filed as an individual matter by you in a small claims or similar court, so long as the dispute is pending on an individual basis in such court. A single, neutral arbitrator will decide any disputes. The arbitrator must be either a retired or former judge or a lawyer with no less than 10 years’ experience, selected in accordance with the AAA’s rules. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, will honor claims of privilege under applicable law, and will have the power to award to a party any damages or other relief provided under applicable law. Any party may choose to have a hearing, and may choose to be represented by counsel. The arbitrator will issue an award in writing and, upon request, will provide a written explanation for the award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The party initiating an arbitration must pay the AAA’s initial filing fee, although you can ask the AAA to waive the filing fee and we will consider your request that we pay the filing fee on your behalf. We will pay any subsequent administration fees imposed by the AAA, and we will pay the arbitrator’s fee for up to one day of hearings. All other fees will be allocated as provided by the AAA’s rules and applicable law. If you prevail in arbitration, we will reimburse you any fees paid to the AAA. However, even if we prevail, we will not seek reimbursement from you of any fees we paid to the AAA unless the arbitrator determines that your dispute was brought in bad faith. Each party shall bear its own costs of attorneys, experts, and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration. However, if applicable substantive law gives you the right to seek reimbursement of attorneys’ fees or other fees or costs, then that right shall also apply in the arbitration. You have the right to opt out of this Arbitration provision, but you may only do so in the first 30 days after the first transaction is posted to your Account. In order to opt out, you must write us at WebBank/ Gettington Arbitration, P.O. Box 1500, St Cloud, MN ###-###-####. You must inform us of your decision to opt out, and sign the notice. This Arbitration provision shall survive repayment of your extension of credit and termination of your Account. This Arbitration provision is made in connection with interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC Sections 1 through 16. If any part of this Arbitration provision is determined to be void or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration provision shall be considered null and void; however, it shall not affect the validity of the rest of this Agreement. Credit Bureau Disputes. If you believe we inaccurately reported credit history information about you or your Account to a credit reporting agency, call us at ###-###-#### or write to us at: Credit Bureau Reporti ng Services, P.O. Box 6250 Ridgewood Road, St Cloud, MN 56303. Please include a copy of the credit report reflecting the information that you believe is inaccurate.

You must contact us within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement. 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: Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error. 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, the following are true: ® 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 that 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 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 the 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 these rules, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.

 


 

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: 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.) You must have used your credit card for the purchase. You must have 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: Gettington Account Services, P.O. Box 1500, St Cloud, MN ###-###-####.

EXHIBIT E Bluestein Brands, Inc Credit Compliance Policy Section 13.1 Customer Identification Program Policy Statement It is the policy of Bluestem Brands, Inc (“Bluestem”) to insure proper adherence Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act regarding the requirement to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person seeking to open a credit account, maintain records of the information used to verify the person’s identity, including name, address and other identifying information, and determine whether the person appears on any lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations provided by a government agency and to Bluestem by its partner banks. The provisions and intent of the USA Patriot Act require Bluestem and its partner banks to implement and maintain identification, documentation, verification, and recordkeeping procedures to ensure: i. compliance with state and federal laws and regulations; ii. adherence to safe and sound banking practices; iii. decrease risk that Bluestem and/or its partner banks will become victim to illegal activities; and iv. protect the reputation and strategic position of Bluestem and its partner banks. Risk Management Bluestem, as part of its overall risk management program, reviews each area where risks may present themselves to regulatory customer identification requirements. Customer Due Diligence The USA Patriot Act establishes minimum standards regarding the identity of any customer who applies to open a new credit account. Specifically, financial institutions must: identify and verify all persons seeking to open a new credit account; maintain accurate records of such; and compare presented customer identification with government lists. Bluestem’s procedures for verifying the true identity of a person are based on Bluestem and its partner banks’ risk assessment presented by the type of account, the various methods of opening an account, and the type of identifying information available. In any instance, though, employees must ensure that a reasonable belief of the true identity of Bluestem customers is obtained.

1


 

Identification information required before opening a new credit account includes all of the following: name; date of birth; physical/street address, includes: a. army post office (APO) or fleet post office (FPO) box number; or b. physical/street address where they can be reached and mail sent to; 4. Social Security number. Procedures for Verification of Identity For a customer submitting an application in person an unexpired identification which provides evidence of a customer’s nationality or residence and bears a photograph or similar safeguard, such as a driver’s license or passport. For customers submitting applications over the phone, through direct mail or over the internet, the applicants’ identification must be validated by comparing the information provided with information received from a credit reporting agency, public database or other source. In the event that the information cannot be verified through a credit reporting agency, before opening a new credit account, a person’s identity must be verified through one or more of the following documentary and non-documentary methods: unexpired government issued identification; verification through a public database; utility bill with the person’s name and address The specific step by step verification procedures for handing the verification of a person’s information when it cannot be verified through a credit reporting agency are outlined and maintained on the Consumer Credit Compliance Program intranet site. Management of the department with responsibility for account opening is responsible for ensuring their employees are properly trained and adhere to these procedures. Procedures for Lack of Identity Verification It is against policy to open or maintain a credit account for a person if the person cannot be properly validated and a reasonable belief is not formed of the true identity of the person. If a person’s identity cannot be verified within specific timeframes provided for in operational procedures, the person is to be notified in writing and the person’s credit application declined. NOTE: On a case by case basis, in the event of a suspicious situation where a person’s identity cannot be properly verified, a SAR may need to be filed. If this is the case, the Compliance Manager should be contacted for guidance and assistance. The Compliance Manager will subsequently notify the partner bank to report the suspicious activity so the partner bank can determine whether the filing of a SAR is necessary. Additional Account Opening Procedures In addition to those listed in this policy, it may be necessary to conduct additional information verification procedures to re-verify the true identity of a customer or the true purpose of a credit

account. In this instance, the Compliance Manager should be contacted for guidance and assistance. Procedures for Comparing with Government Lists It is Bluestem’s practice, during the customer identification verification process, to determine whether a person appears on any list of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations or any known or suspected drug traffickers or drug trafficking organizations provided by a government agency or by our partner banks. These lists include, but are not limited to, the OF AC and 314(a) lists. Please also see the Bluestem Brands, Inc Credit Compliance Policy Section 11—OFAC Policy and the Bluestem Brands, Inc Credit Compliance Policy Section 12-FinCEN 314(a) List Policy. Customer Notice Procedures It is Bluestem’s policy to provide consumers with adequate notice that a partner bank is requesting information to verify their identity. Such notice will be provided to consumers in applicable account disclosures on all direct mail solicitations or electronically via a website. The notices state; “IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means to you: When you open an account, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.” Recordkeeping It is Bluestem’s policy to retain the following documentation related to the identity verification of customers for a period of 60 months from the date a credit account is closed or become dormant: All identifying information provided by a customer after the date the account is closed or becomes dormant; A description of any document that was relied upon pursuant to this policy that clearly evidences the type of document and identification number it may contain; A description of the methods and results of any measures undertaken to verify the identity of a customer pursuant to this policy; and A description of the resolution of any substantive discrepancy discovered when verifying the identifying information obtained.

VIII. STAFF TRAINING General It is the responsibility of the appropriate department to ensure that employees receive appropriate training on the Customer Identification Program and the directives of this policy. All managers are responsible for the complete comprehension of this policy and for verifying their employees understand their responsibilities, The Compliance Manager and/or other designated member of management will periodically attend educational programs related to BSA and CIP. 5. If, at any time, an employee is uncertain about the proper handling of a situation or transaction, he or she should refer the issue to their immediate supervisor or contact the Compliance Manager for further guidance. Procedures: Operational procedures governed or impacted by this regulation can be found on the “Procedures Index by Regulation” spreadsheet housed on the Consumer Credit Compliance Program SharePoint site.

EXHIBIT I WebBank/Bluestem Brands, Inc. Compliance Program Overview Bluestem Brands, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Bluestem”) will act as an administrator for WebBank (“WebBank”) during underwriting, origination, and servicing phases of the WebBank/Gettington credit program. The Consumer Credit Compliance Program was developed and implemented by Bluestem to further compliance with laws applicable to the revolving credit program. The program is designed to further compliance with the law or regulations named in the applicable policy, to wit: Regulation Z/Truth in Lending (12 CFR 226) ® Regulation B/Equal Credit Opportunity Act (12 CFR 202) Fair Credit Reporting Act/FACTA (12 CFR 222 and 15 USC 1681 seq.) Bank Secrecy Act/USA PATRIOT Act (31 CFR 103 and HR 3162) Right to Financial Privacy (12 USC 3501) Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Gramm-Leach-Bliley Privacy Act (12 CFR 332) FTC Unfair and Deceptive Practices Act (16 CFR 444) The Consumer Credit Compliance Program encompasses the lending activities of WebBank for which Bluestem acts as administrator. Monitors are in place across all functional areas of the company which include a credit component, be it prescreening, underwriting, servicing or collections. Bluestem’s Legal Services Department monitors changes in applicable laws and regulations, engaging nationally recognized financial services counsel as partners in this effort, and ensures that such changes are reflected in the applicable policies and procedures. Consumer Credit Compliance Program Bluestem’s Consumer Credit Compliance Program Steering Committee has been authorized by Bluestem’s Executive Team to provide oversight of the development and administration of the compliance program. Operating Teams from the four main functional areas which include credit components (Customer Service, Credit Operations, Credit Risk and Collections) have day-to-day responsibility for maintaining compliance with internal procedures and monitoring of same.

1


 

EXHIBIT I Bluestem’s Compliance Program is maintained in a written format and is housed on the company’s internal SharePoint system. Access to policies and procedures is available to all employees who require it in order to fulfill their responsibilities under the program. Monitoring of compliance procedures is incorporated in the normal business activities of each affected area and reported upon monthly. Goals for the monitoring process include the detection of procedural or training deficiencies and the application of corrective action plans where appropriate. Training Understanding of the laws which guide the various procedures across the company is an integral part of Bluestem’s “new hire” training. In addition, specialized training is provided to staff who perform functions that are guided by consumer compliance laws, such as Billing Disputes or Collections. Compliance Procedure Overview Bluestem has adopted policies and procedures as an integral part of its Consumer Credit Compliance Program. The policies are listed in this document under the heading “Compliance Program Overview”. This section of the document is intended to be illustrative in a summary fashion of certain procedures also constituting part of the Consumer Credit Compliance Program. It is only representative of certain of Bluestem’s procedures and therefore is not a comprehensive index of procedures nor the procedures themselves. Collections Collections Support Settlement Procedure A customer may be offered a settlement if his or her account is two or more cycles past due (66 days or greater excluding charged-off accounts) and the account falls into certain pre-determined behavior score ranges. The last payment must be received within 60 days of the first payment. The offer is null and void if payments are not received or are returned by a financial institution as unpaid. The account will not be moved to a “Settlement Status” until 30 days after the last payment is received.

2


 

EXHIBIT I Cease and Desist Requests When a written request is received via mail from the customer, an attorney representing the customer or any third party who provides a Power of Attorney signed by the customer, communications from Bluestem regarding the collection of an account will cease within 48 hours. Reduced Payment Plans Bluestem offers reduced payment plans to customers who experience financial hardships. A qualifying payment is a minimum of 2.5% of the account balance. Late fees are not applied while the customer is on the program and the interest charges are reduced. Reage of Accounts Customers who are at least 66 days past due and have no open to buy are eligible for Bluestem’s Reage Program. Customers are offered a reage program when they are unable to bring their accounts current through any other means. When on a reage program, the customer must make three qualifying payments in order for the account to reage. An account may only be reaged if it is at least nine months old, and may be reaged only once in a 12-month period and no more than twice in a five-year period. Bankruptcy and Deceased Early Charge-Off Accounts marked as Bankruptcy or Deceased will be charged off 60 days after notification, provided there is a balance and the account is six or more days delinquent. Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS) From time to time, customers who are facing financial difficulties will contract with a Consumer Credit Counseling Service (“CCCS”) in an effort to pay their debt. CCCS companies contact Bluestem with a written proposal for repayment. The payment amount proposed must be at least 2.5% of the outstanding balance or $15.00, whichever is greater, in order to be accepted. If the account is less than 90 days delinquent, the APR is set at 14.90% and the account is set to “CCCS Retention”. If the account is greater than 90 days delinquent, the APR is sent at 9.90% and the account is set to “CCCS Closed.”

EXHIBIT I Credit Operations FinCEN Reporting The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) provides biweekly files containing names and addresses (when available) of individuals and businesses appearing on Specially Designated Terrorist Lists. Bluestem matches the names of individuals against the lists of current credit customers; in the event a name is a match or a potential match, further investigation is completed and the results of the investigation is forwarded to the account-owning bank. When a match occurs, the results are grouped based on three main matching criteria: a one-to-one match on SSN, a one-to-one match by alias first name/last name, city and ZIP Code, or a calculated match by address and city. Manual Review Override Authorization From time to time, requests are made for credit line increases that are outside the normal parameters for the Manual Review Area. In such cases, the request is forwarded to a Supervisor or manager. Manual Review Supervisors have the authority up to $200.00 to approve an account or increase of a credit limit. Manual Review Managers have authority up to $500.00 to approve an account or increase of a credit limit. The Director/Vice President of NCA has authority up to $2000.00 to approve an account or increase of a credit limit. Requests for amounts greater than $2000.00 are referred to the head of Risk Management. Credit Risk Modeling Variable Restrictions The following attributes are not to be included in the development or usage of any credit statistical models: age, gender, religion, language preference, nationality, state of residence (or any other fields that could directly or indirectly cause redlining), marital status or medical condition. All credit statistical models will be reviewed by the Model Review Committee. GLB Annual Notifications On an annual basis (defined as within a 12-month period), Privacy Notices are provided to all account holders required to receive such notices. Account holders exempt from notification include all zero balance closed accounts, charged off/closed, bankrupt and deceased accounts. Account holders are provided the right and the ability to opt out of information sharing and are provided a form and mailing address on the privacy notification.

EXHIBIT I Credit Bureau Reporting On behalf of the account-owning bank, Bluestem reports information on its credit accounts on a monthly basis to both Equifax and TransUnion. The extract file developed for reporting purposes conforms to the standard Metro 2 credit reporting format. Customer Service and Collections Support have separate operational procedures in order to comply with reporting requirements and any subsequent customer inquiries. Collections Support is responsible for handling all customer disputes. Portfolio Reviews On a quarterly basis, Bluestem, on behalf of the account-owning bank, obtains an updated read on the credit bureau attributes of selected accounts. A representative of the Credit Risk team runs a SAS program to determine which customers satisfy the criteria in place to generate a review. This group of customers is then compared to a file constructed by IT using the same criteria, and if the comparison is acceptable, the file is sent to the credit bureau. Upon receipt of the updated information for the reviewed customers, Credit Risk verifies that the customers returned are the same as those sent out and that the attributes returned are reasonable. Real Time Authorizations This fully automated process provides guidelines and logic for making purchase authorization decisions at the point of sale. It includes decisioning for Overlimit Authorizations and High Risk declines. At each purchase attempt, accounts satisfying all other criteria to approve the purchase except sufficient available credit are subject to “OTB Logic”, which uses preset parameters to make an authorization decision. If the purchase passes the OTB Logic, the authorization is approved. No overlimit fees are assessed. If the purchase does not pass the OTB Logic, the authorization is declined. In addition, at each purchase attempt, accounts satisfying all other criteria that would approve the purchase are analyzed in real time to assess the risk of the purchase. If the purchase meets the high-end threshold in terms of defining the risk the account will become seriously delinquent within the next 12 months, the purchase authorization is declined and the credit limit is reduced to balance. The customer is sent an adverse action letter which provides the reasons for the declination.

5


 

EXHIBIT I Credit Line Increase Program On a monthly basis, Bluestem, on behalf of the account owning bank, executes an automated credit limit increase program for accounts with demonstrated payment capacity and low risk. The credit limit increase program is not run in January or July so as not to interfere with the Portfolio Review process. The credit limit increase process utilizes three unique sets of logic to determine which accounts qualify. Two types of increases are given to customers: permanent and temporary. Temporary line increases generally have an expiration date of 90 days. However, if a customer utilizes all or part of the temporary line increase, their limit will remain increased by the amount of the utilization even after the expiration date. Credit Line Decrease Due to Delinquency At the end of each billing cycle, accounts meeting pre-set conditions are systematically reviewed for a decrease in the credit limit. With the conditions met, actions are taken based upon the number of days delinquent. Limits on accounts with a 60-89 day delinquency status are reduced to balance and rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. The credit limit will not be reduced below $100.00. Limits on accounts with a 90+ day delinquency status are reduced to zero. No action is taken for purposes of this procedure on accounts that are less than 60 days delinquent. Customer Service Billing Disputes In the event a customer has a dispute as defined in the Truth-in-Lending Act and notifies Bluestem no later than 60 days after the first billing statement on which the disputed information appears, Bluestem will investigate and resolve the dispute on behalf of WebBank within the timeframes as specified in the Truth-in-Lending Act. During the period in which the dispute is being investigated, the amount in dispute will be suspended from the accrual of interest charges, billing, and, in some cases, collection. All notification to the customer regarding the receipt, investigation and resolution of the dispute will be sent within the timeframes as specified in the Truth-in-Lending Act.

EXHIBIT I Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act Upon the request of a customer who is enlisted in the Armed Services (as defined by the SCRA), and when accompanied by copies of the customer’s active duty orders, Bluestem will reduce the interest rate to 6% on that portion of the account balance incurred prior to the customer’s call to active duty. Within 30-60 days prior to the release of the customer from active duty, Bluestem will send notification to the customer that their protection under SCRA is due to expire and request further documentation in the event the customer’s active duty has been extended. Protection under the SCRA will terminate within 30-60 days of the customer’s discharge from active duty. As a courtesy to customers on active duty, and upon appropriate verification, Bluestem will accept requests for protection and information regarding deployment from a servicemembers’ spouse.

Inhibit J Third-Party Service Contractors In accordance with and subject to Section 39 of the Agreement and Section 12 of the Receivables Sale Agreement, Company’s Tier 1 and Tier 2 subcontractors are as follows: Tier 1: The Tier 1 subcontractors include CoreCard Software, Inc. and Experian Marketing Solutions, which entities provide Company with its card processing platform and application approval system, respectively. Tier 2: The Tier 2 subcontractors include, without limitation, AllianceOne, Inc. and NCO Financial Services, Inc., which entities provide first-party collection support to Company, and vCustomer Corporation and 24-7 Customer, Inc., which entities provide customer servicing support to Company, including account application and servicing.

 


 

EXHIBIT K Bluestem Brands, Inc Credit Compliance Policy Section 42 Bank Secrecy Act I. PURPOSE The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and related laws and regulations require financial institutions and their servicers to take reasonable steps to verify the identity of their customers, monitor and report certain currency, suspicious and foreign transactions, and maintain specific records. These steps require financial institutions to keep records that provide documentation that law enforcement can utilize and provide penalties for individuals and entities attempting to avoid these requirements. II. POLICY DESCRIPTION, AUTHORITY AND SCOPE Description and Authority This policy is a general statement of Bluestem Brands, Inc’s (“Bluestem”) objectives, direction and expectations regarding the BSA. As such, it is the authority, basis and platform for the development, communication, implementation, interpretation and enforcement of appropriate and applicable operating procedures. It is the policy of Bluestem to comply with all provisions of the BSA. All employees must comply with this policy and all steps necessary are taken to ensure that proper adherence to the laws and regulations can be met. Enforcement Changes to this policy require approval by the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee. Changes in operating procedures, standards, guidelines, and technologies, provided they are consistent with this policy, may be authorized by the Consumer Credit Compliance Operating Team for the affected department and its representative on the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee and the Compliance Manager. The Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee will approve this policy annually. It is responsible for ensuring the directives are implemented and administered in compliance with the approved policy. The primary responsibility for enforcement of this policy and its operating procedures rests with Bluestem employees.

1


 

No part of this policy or its supporting operating procedures should be interpreted as contravening or superseding any other legal and regulatory requirements. Protective measures should not impede other legally mandated processes such as records retention or subpoenas. Any conflicts should immediately be submitted to the Compliance Manager for further evaluation and/or subsequent submission to the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee. Exceptions to Policy There are no exceptions to the Bluestem BSA Policy. If unique circumstances exist that may require special handling, requests for this special handling must be very specific and apply only to specific terms or items, rather than entire sections of the policy. Employees with special handling requests are to communicate their requests by submitting them in writing to the Compliance Manager for consideration by the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee and/or senior management. III. RISK MANAGEMENT General Bluestem realizes that the potential for risk exists in an ever changing environment, and in response, has developed and implemented this comprehensive risk-based BSA, anti-money laundering (“AML”) program. This program is designed to mitigate risks associated with Bluestem’s partner banks and the geographies, customers, products, services, and the nature of Bluestem’s operations. This program provides for policies and procedures, and the assignment of designated employees responsible for monitoring day to day compliance. The nature of the business conducted by Bluestem does not generally provide exposure to a high risk of BSA or AML issues and past history demonstrates that Bluestem has a low risk of BSA or AML violations. Nevertheless, Bluestem has committed to establishing strong internal controls, processes, policies, and procedures to maintain compliance in all areas. IV. CURRENCY TRANSACTION REPORTING General Federal law and regulation requires financial institutions to report every cash transaction by a customer (unless the customer is specifically exempted) in excess of $10,000 to the Internal Revenue Service on a Currency Transaction Report within 15 days of the transaction. However, since it is the policy of Bluestem to not accept any cash payments, this requirement is not relevant to Bluestem’s business. If at any time Bluestem receives an unsolicited cash payment, the payment is to be reported to the Payment Processing Manager, who is then required to report the cash payment to the Compliance Manager. V. REPORT OF CRIMES AND SUSPECTED CRIMES General The FDIC’s rules and regulations require insured banks to make prompt and systematic reports of crimes and attempted crimes to law enforcement authorities. This responsibility covers any known, attempted, or suspected crimes involving or affecting the assets or affairs of insured banks. As a servicer on behalf of Bluestem’s partner banks, it is the policy of Bluestem to

2


 

comply with rules and regulations of the applicable regulator as required by Bluestem’s partner banks. Suspicious activity and crimes can be identified in a wide variety of forms that may indicate money laundering or other illegal activity. However, as activity may appear suspicious, it may only require enhanced scrutiny. Examples of activity that may require enhanced scrutiny include, but are not limited to: activity inconsistent with a customer’s prior history; unusual characteristics of a customer; unusual or inconsistent payment activity unusual or inconsistent account purchase activity; or a consumer provides inconsistent, incomplete, insufficient or suspicious information when requested to comply with the information requirements of Bluestem’s Customer Identification Program, (see Credit Compliance Policy Section 13, “Customer Identification Program”) Examples of suspicious activity that must be reported include, but are not limited to: any BSA violation (ex. structuring or money laundering); bribery or gratuity; check fraud; computer intrusion; loan fraud; counterfeit credit card; counterfeit payment instrument; credit card fraud; employee defalcation or embezzlement; identity theft; misuse of position or self dealing; mysterious disappearance; terrorist financing; wire transfer fraud. Suspicious Activity Reports The Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), along with bank regulatory agencies, has adopted the Suspicious Activity Report (“SAR”). All banks are required to file a SAR for any matter that they have basis to believe is a known or suspected violation of federal criminal law. As a servicer on behalf of its partner banks, it is the policy of Bluestem to comply with FinCEN rules as required by its partner banks. Examples of incidents that require a bank to file a SAR include but are not limited to: Known or suspected violations of federal criminal law by one of Bluestem’s directors, officers, employees, agents or other affiliated parties that may have committed or aided in the commission of the violation; Known or suspected violations of federal criminal law involving or aggregating $5000 or more and there is substantial basis for identifying a possible suspect or group of suspects;

3


 

3. Known or suspected violation of federal criminal law involving or aggregating $25,000 or more and there is no substantial basis for indentifying a possible suspect or group of suspects; Transactions involving or aggregating $5000 or more that involve potential money laundering or violations of the BSA. NOTE: Bluestem will notify its partner bank in the event of a robbery or burglary, but no SAR is required to be filed if the robbery or burglary is reported to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. In the event Bluestem identifies a known or suspected violation of federal criminal law as described above, Bluestem will immediately notify its affected partner bank so that the bank may file a SAR. A SAR must be filed within 30 calendar days after the date of initial detection of the facts that constitute the basis for filing a SAR. If no suspect was identified on the date of detection of the incident requiring filing, the bank may delay filing the SAR for an additional 30 calendar days to identify a suspect. In no case shall reporting be delayed more than 60 calendar days after the date of initial detection of a reportable incident. To the best of its ability, Bluestem will provide its partner bank the following information so that the bank may file a SAR: who conducted the transaction; what instrument or instruments facilitated the suspicious activity; when the suspicious activity occurred; where the suspicious activity took place; why Bluestem believes the activity is suspicious; how the suspicious activity occurred; and any documentation that supports the filing of the SAR. A SAR is confidential. If Bluestem is subpoenaed or otherwise requested to disclose any information regarding a SAR or the information contained in a SAR, Bluestem will decline to provide any information that would disclose that a SAR has been filed. Any such requests should be immediately forwarded to the Compliance Manager for handling. Bluestem will also notify its partner bank so that they may notify the appropriate regulatory agency of the request. Employee Reporting of Suspicious Activity Any Bluestem employee detecting a violation of federal criminal law or who has a suspicion that a violation of federal criminal law has as occurred is to report their suspicions. Employees may report suspicious currency transactions or other activities to the Compliance Manager. The identity of the employee reporting the incident may remain anonymous. VI. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING Policy Statement

4


 

It is the policy of Bluestem to ensure proper adherence to the provisions and intent of the USA Patriot Act regarding the requirement to implement reasonable procedures to deter money laundering activities and actively search for suspicious activity. This policy is a general statement of Bluestem’s objectives, direction and expectations regarding Bluestem’s anti-money laundering (“AML”) programs. As such, it is the authority, basis and platform for the development, communication, implementation, interpretation and enforcement of appropriate and applicable operating procedures. Changes to this policy require approval by the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee. Changes in operating procedures, standards, guidelines and technologies, provided they are consistent with this policy, may be authorized by the Consumer Credit Compliance Operating Team for the affected department and its representative on the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee and the Compliance Manager. The Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee is responsible for ensuring the directives are implemented and administered in compliance with the policy. The primary responsibility for enforcement of this policy and its operating procedures lies with the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee and Bluestem employees. General Money laundering means any activity criminalized by 18 USC 1956 or 1957. Money is ‘laundered’ to conceal all types of criminal activity. It is driven by the need to conceal the true source of funds, and becomes necessary when the amount of money is so large that the criminal or criminal organization cannot reasonably absorb it into their lifestyle or business. Money laundering, through often a complex process, generally consists of three independent steps that often occur at once: 1. PLACEMENT. This involves illegal money in bank, in a non-bank financial institution, in the general domestic economy, or in a foreign economy. Some examples of placing money are listed below. A. Structuring/Smurfing. This involves the structuring of cash, monetary instruments, or exchanges of small bills for larger denominations to avoid currency transaction report reporting requirements. B. Bank Complicity. This occurs when bank staff, from front line operational employees to executives, are bribed by criminals or when entire institutions are controlled by criminals. C. Misuse of BSA Exemption Lists. This occurs when banks or non-bank financial institutions do not follow BSA rules for reviewing accounts and maintaining an active “Know Your Customer” policy and grant exceptions from BSA reviews. D. Creation of False BSA Trails. This occurs when documents are falsified to disguise the true source, ownership, location or controls over illegal money. 2. LAYERING. This means separating the illegal money from the source through layers of complex financial transactions. If the placement of money is undetected, the money laundering activities are even more difficult to uncover. The confusing complicated ways in which layer after layer of activities and transactions are piled on

5


 

top of one another are intended to make tracing of funds impossible to law enforcement. 3. INTEGRATION. This provides an apparently legitimate explanation for the illegal money. This is the final stage in the process of money laundering where the “cleansed” money is integrated into the economy providing the appearance that the funds were legally obtained. Risk Analysis, Detection and Monitoring Due to the nature of the business of Bluestem and the programs serviced on behalf of its partner banks, Bluestem’s customer base is considered low risk for money laundering activities. It is considered low risk because Bluestem offers and services only low credit line credit cards to individual consumers, not businesses, and provide no high risk banking functions or transactions such as private banking, trust, offshore internal activity, deposit taking facilities, international correspondent banking, cash management functions, trade financing, or transactions involving large amounts of traveler’s checks, official bank checks, money orders and stored value cards. However, Bluestem has implemented reasonable procedures to deter money laundering activities and actively search for suspicious activity. Bluestem has determined the appropriate due diligence procedures to be applied to consumers when initiating a relationship or continuing a relationship. For these risk analysis strategies, refer to the Report of Crimes and Suspected Crimes section and the Customer Identification Program Policy. If any employee of Bluestem suspects or identifies money laundering activities, they are to report it to the Compliance Manager. Penalties Individuals, including employees of financial institutions, convicted of money laundering may face up to 20 years in prison for each money laundering transaction. Any money or any property traceable to proceeds from criminal activity, including loan collateral, personal property, bank accounts (even if a portion of the funds in the accounts is legitimate) may be subject to forfeiture. hi addition, banks risk losing their charter and their employees risk being removed and barred from future employment in the financial sector. VII. KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER General It is the intent of Bluestem to have a clear and concise understanding of customer practices in order to avoid criminal exposure by any customer who would use its resources or its partner bank’s resources for illegal puiposes. The objective of this policy is to ensure the immediate detection and identification of suspicious activity. Accordingly, it is the policy of Bluestem to incorporate the following into our business practices: Bluestem will make a reasonable effort to determine the true identity of all customers; Bluestem will make a reasonable effort to identify the true ownership of all accounts; Employees of Bluestem will make a reasonable effort to be aware of any unusual transaction activity. As a general rule, Bluestem will not establish a business relationship until the identity of a potential customer is satisfactorily established. If a potential customer refuses to produce any requested verification documentation, the relationship will not be established. The Customer

6


 

Identification Program Policy provides an overview of general principles to follow in establishing customer relationships. Consumer Credit Accounts No consumer credit account will be opened without capturing the following information and conducting the following procedures, including, but not limited to: Valid Social Security number Physical Address Date of Birth Confirmation of a credit bureau match Commercial Credit Accounts Bluestem does not offer or service commercial accounts. VIII. STAFF TRAINING General It is the responsibility of the appropriate department to ensure that employees receive appropriate training on the Customer Identification Program and the directives of this policy. All managers are responsible for the complete comprehension of this policy and for verifying their employees understand their responsibilities. The Compliance Manager and/or other designated member of management will periodically attend educational programs related to BSA and CIP. If, at any time, an employee is uncertain about the proper handling of a situation or transaction, he or she should refer the issue to their immediate supervisor or contact the Compliance Manager for further guidance. IX. RETENTION OF RECORDS It is the policy to retain the following items for a period of at least five years: Currency Transaction Reports (it is policy to not accept cash payments) Customer Identification Records Documents related to a Suspicious Activity Report Evidence of 314(s) Searches Evidence of OF AC Searches Account Statements Showing Individual Transaction Activity Records containing the name, address and SSN of customer

EXHIBIT K Bluestem Brands, Inc Credit Compliance Policy Section 11.1 OFAC Policy I. PURPOSE The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the Department of the Treasury administers and oversees a series of laws that impose economic sanctions against hostile targets to further U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives. OFAC is responsible for promulgating, developing, and administering the sanctions for the Treasury under eight federal statutes. All of the financial institution regulatory agencies cooperate in ensuring financial institution compliance with the OFAC regulations. The OFAC laws and regulations promote national and international security by requiring asset freezing of: oppressive governments, international terrorists, narcotic traffickers, and other specially designated persons. The purpose of this policy is to ensure compliance with the OFAC regulations by identifying individuals who are on the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) and Blocked Persons list so that we and our partner banks do not engage in business or facilitate any credit card account transactions with them. IL OBJECTIVES The objectives of this policy are to: 1. Identify by comparison to the OFAC SDN and Blocked Persons list a “true match” of any individual who: a. applies for a new credit card account issued by our partner banks; or b. is a current customer with a credit card account issued by one of our partner banks and serviced by Bluestem Brands, Inc (“Bluestem”) To verify that a true match exists in the event of a possible match. If a true match exists, decline the credit card applicant, or if account has already been approved, block and close the account. Report any true matches to our partner bank to be reported to the OFAC. DL MATCHING PROCESS New Credit Card Applications All individuals applying for a new credit card account issued by our partner banks must be compared to the OFAC SDN for any true matches before application approval. This comparison process is completed through the Equifax product, OFAC Alert. OFAC Alert compares individual

application information to the Compliance Data Center’s (CDC) comprehensive database of Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs) and Blocked Persons. Bluestem is notified of any potential matches, and all potential matches are manually reviewed to determine if a true match exists. All false positives will be noted; all true matches will be reported to the issuing partner bank. Current Customer Database All customers with a credit card account issued by a partner bank must be compared to the OF AC SDN for any true matches on a monthly basis. This comparison process is completed through various resources. Bluestem’s current customer database is compared to the most recent database of SDNs and Blocked Persons. Bluestem is notified of any potential matches, and all potential matches are manually reviewed to determine if a true match exists. All false positives and true matches will be reported to the partner bank. IV. REPORTING Employees responsible for reviewing any potential matches for new credit card applications or in our current customer database must notify the Compliance Department of any match they believe may be a true match within one business day of their review. If, after review, the Compliance Department believes the match may be a true match, the Compliance Department must notify the partner bank within one business day of review. Notification to the partner bank is completed via a secure email to the designated staff person at the partner bank. In addition, Bluestem will immediately block any existing customer accounts upon notice from a partner bank of a confirmed true match and will immediately decline all applications upon notice from a partner bank that there is a confirmed true match. General All reports regarding compliance with the OF AC will be retained by Bluestem for a minimum of five years. *****Procedures: Operational procedures governed or impacted by this regulation can be found on the “Procedures Index by Regulation” spreadsheet housed on the Consumer Credit Compliance Program SharePoint site.

EXHIBIT K Bluestem Brands, Inc Credit Compliance Policy Section 12.1 FinCEN 314(a) List Policy I. PURPOSE Pursuant to Title III of the Patriot Act, Section 314, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Department of Treasury is authorized to require certain records or reports from financial institutions. This is intended to create a cooperative partnership between the financial community and law enforcement in order to gather information that could be relevant to significant law enforcement investigations pertaining to such criminal activities as money laundering or terrorism, and tax evasion. Information requests from FinCEN generally are in the form of the FinCEN 314(a) list. By statute, FinCEN provides the 314(a) list directly to financial institutions, which are required to perform a one-time scan of their accounts and transactions against the list. The list is confidential and is provided biweekly. Banks issuing credit on behalf of Bluestem Brands, Inc (“Bluestem”) then securely provide Bluestem with the 314(a) list for investigation. The puipose of this policy is to ensure compliance with the regulation by identifying individuals or transactions that are on the FinCEN 314(a) list so that we can promptly notify our partner banks, who can then report any true matches to FinCEN. II. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this policy are to: Identify by comparison to the FinCEN 314(a) biweekly list a true match of any individual who has had an account issued by one of our partner banks within, at a minimum, the preceding 12 months. To verify that a true match exists in the event of a possible match. If a true match exists, report it to our partner bank to be reported to FinCEN. III. MATCHING PROCESS

1


 

Bank Partners All customers with a credit account issued by a partner bank must be compared to the FinCEN 314(a) list for any true matches on a biweekly basis. This comparison process is initiated by Bluestem’s partner banks. Since FinCEN only provides the list directly to financial institutions, Bluestem’s partner banks are responsible for providing the lists to Bluestem. The partner bank’s customer database for at least the preceding 12 months is compared to the most recently issued 314(a) list. Bluestem reviews the lists for any possible matches, and all possible matches are manually reviewed to determine if a true match exists. All false positives will be noted and that information reported to the partner bank. All true matches will immediately be reported to the partner bank. IV. CONFIDENTIALITY All information provided on the FinCEN 314(a) list is strictly confidential and should be secured. Any names on the list will not be disclosed to any person or entity without the express permission of the financial institution who provided the list or as required by law. Internally, any information on the list will be confined to those employees who have business need for the information in order to comply with our policies and procedures. Bluestem will not disclose to any person, other than to FinCEN, the issuing partner bank’s primary banking regulator, or the federal law enforcement agency on whose behalf FinCEN is requesting information, the fact that FinCEN has requested or obtained information. V. REPORTING Employees responsible for reviewing any possible matches for true matches must notify the Compliance Department of any possible match they believe may be a true match within one business day of their review. If, after review, the Compliance Department believes the match may be a true match, the Compliance Department must notify the partner bank within one business day of review. Notification to the partner bank is completed via a secure email to the staff member designated by the partner bank. Unless the information request specifically states otherwise, Bluestem will take no action on the true match (other than to notify the partner bank) unless further instruction is received by the partner bank. VI. RECORD RETENTION Documentation showing evidence of compliance with the above objectives will be kept for a minimum of five years.
