The information about the costs of the card described in this application is accurate as of 7/2008. This information may have changed after that date. To find out what may have changed, contact the credit union.

In this Agreement the words “you” and “your” mean each and all of those who agree to be bound by this Agreement; “Card” means the VISA credit card and any duplicates, renewals or substitutions the Credit Union issues to you; “Account” means your VISA credit card line of credit account with the Credit Union, and “Credit Union” means the Credit Union whose name appears on this Agreement or anyone to whom the Credit Union transfers this Agreement.

1. Using Your Account. If you are approved for an Account, the Credit Union will establish a line of credit for you and notify you of your credit limit. You agree that your credit limit is the maximum amount (purchases, cash advances, finance charges, plus “other charges”) that you will have outstanding on your Account at any time. If you are over your credit limit, you must pay the amount you are over before payments will begin to restore your credit limit. You may request an increase in your credit limit only by a method acceptable to the Credit Union. The Credit Union has the right to reduce your credit limit, refuse to make and advance and/or terminate your Account at any time for any reason not prohibited by law.

2. Using Your Card. You understand that the use of your credit card will consitute acknowledgement of receipt and your agreeement to the terms of the Credit Card agreement. You may use your Card to make purchases from merchants and others who accept VISA cards. However, you may not use your Card to initiate any type of gambling transaction. If you wish to pay for goods or services over the Internet, you may be required to provide card number security information before you will be permitted to complete the transaction. In addition, you may obtain cash advances from the Credit Union and from other financial institutions that accept VISA Cards, and from some automated teller machines (ATMs) (Not all ATMs accept VISA cards) To obtain cash advances from an ATM, you must use the Personal Identification Number (PIN) that is issued to you for use with your Card. You agree that you will not use your Card for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal, state or local law.

3. Responsibility. You agree to pay all charges (purchases and cash advances) to your Account that are made by you or anyone whom you authorize to use your Account. You also agree to pay all finance charges and other charges added to your Account under the terms of this Agreement or another agreement you made with the Credit Union. If this is a joint Account, Section 17 below also applies to your Account.

4. Finance Charges. New purchases posted to your account during a billing cycle will not incur a finance charge for that billing cycle if you had a zero or credit balance at the beginning of that billing cycle or you paid the entire New Balance on the previous cycle’s billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement; otherwise a finance charge will accrue from the date a purchase is posted to your account. To avoid an additional finance charge on the balance of purchases, you must pay the entire New Balance on the billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement. A finance charge begins to accrue on cash advances from the date you get the cash advance or from the first day of the billing cycle in which the cash advance is posted to your account, whichever is later.

The finance charge is calculated separately for purchases and cash advances. For purchases, the finance charge is computed by applying the monthly periodic rate to the average daily balance of purchases. To get the average daily balance of purchases, we take the beginning outstanding balance of purchases each day, add any new purchases, and subtract any payments and/or credits. This gives us the daily balance of purchases. Then, we add all the daily balances of purchases for the billing cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the average daily balance of purchases.

For cash advances, the finance charge is computed by applying the monthly periodic rate to the average daily balance of cash advances. To get the average daily balance of cash advances, we take the beginning outstanding balance of cash advances each day, add in any new cash advances, and subtract any payments and/or credits that we apply to the cash advance balance. This gives us the daily balance of cash advances. Then, we add all the daily balances of cash advances for the billing cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the average daily balances of cash advances. Balance transfers are calculated in the same manner as cash advances.

The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is subjec to change on the statement cycle date of each month to reflect any change in the index and will be determined by the Prime Rate as published in the "Money Rates" table of the Wall Street Journal on the 1st day of March, June, September and December. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will never be less than 6.00%. Any increase in the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will take the form of additional payments shown as Total Minimum Payments on the statement. Puchases will be charged 1.0 percentage point(s) above the variable rate. Cash advances will be charge 1.0 percentage point(s) above the variable rate. Balance transfers will be charged 1.0 percentage point(s) above the variable rate. If the Index is no longer available, the Credit Union will choose a new index which is based upon comparable information.

For the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE and monthly perioric rate(s) that applies to your card, please refer to the Welcome Letter than accompanies this agreement.

5. Other Charges. The following other charges (fees) will be added to your Account as applicable:

a. Over the Credit Limit Fee: You may be charged a fee of $20.00 on a statement date if your New Balance on that date, less any fees imposed during the cycle, is over your credit limit. You will be charged the fee each subsequent month until your New Balance on the statement date, less any fees imposed during the cycle is BELOW your credit limit.

b. Late Payment Fee: If you are ten (10) or more days late in making a payment, a late charge of $20.00 will be added to your account.

c. Return Check Fee: If a check or share draft used to make a payment on your account is returned unpaid, you will be charged a fee of $20.00 for each item returned.

d. Document Copy Fee: You will be charged $2.00 for each copy of a sales draft or statement that you request (except when the request is made in connection with a billing error made by the credit union).

e. Collection Costs: You agree to pay all costs of collecting the amount you owe under this Agreement including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. (which shall be at least 33 1/3% of the principal amount turned over to counsel for collection).

6. Payments. Each month you must pay at least the minimum payment shown on your statement by the date specified on the statement or no later than twenty-five (25) days from the statement closing date, whichever is later. If your statement says the payment is “Now Due”, your payment is due no later than twenty-five (25) days from the statement closing date. You may pay more frequently, pay more than the minimum payment or pay the Total New Balance in full. If you make extra or larger payments, you are still required to make at least the minimum payment each month your Account has a balance (other than a credit balance). The minimum payment is 3% of your Total New Balance, or $20.00 whichever is greater, plus the amount of any prior minimum payments that you have not made, and any amount you are over your credit limit. The Credit Union also has the right to demand immediate payment of any amount by which you are over you credit limit.

7. Payment Allocation.Subject to applicable law, your payments may be applied to what you owe the Credit Union in any manner the Credit Union chooses.

8. Security Interest.If you give the Credit Union a specific pledge of shares by signing a separate pledge of shares, your pledged shares will secure your Account. You may not withdraw amounts that have been specifically pledged to secure your Account until the credit union agrees to release all or part of the pledged amount. In addition, your Account is secured by all other shares you have in any individual or joint account with the Credit Union, except for shares in an Individual Retirement Account or in any other account that would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law if given as security. These other shares may be withdrawn unless you are in default under this agreement. You authorize the Credit Union to apply the balance in your individual or joint share accounts to pay any amounts due on your Account if you should default. Collateral securing other loans you have with the Credit Union may also secure this loan, except that a dwelling will never be considered as security for this Account, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement.

9. Default.You will be in default if you fail to make any minimum payment or other required payment by the date that it is due. You will be in default if you break any promise you make under this Agreement. You will be in default if you die, file for bankruptcy or become insolvent, that is, unable to pay your obligations when they become due. You will be in default if you make any false or misleading statements in any credit application or credit update. You will also be in default if something happens that the Credit Union believes may substantially reduce your ability to repay what you owe.

When you are in default, the Credit Union has the right to demand immediate payment of your full Account balance without giving you notice. If immediate payment is demanded you agree to continue paying finance charges at the period rate charged before the default, until what you owe has been paid, and any shares that were given as security for your Account may be applied towards what you owe.

10. Liability for Unauthorized Use-Lost/Stolen Card Notification.You agree to notify us immediately, orally or in writing at 4605 Commerce Road, Richmond, VA 23234 or telephone (866) 643-1258 twenty four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, of the loss, theft, or unauthorized use of your Credit Card.
