There is no cost for contacting Customer Service. When you call Customer Service, you may be asked to provide certain personal information so we can verify your

For your security, please DO NOT send the following information to us via email: (i) your full Card Number or full Account Number, (ii) your personal identifiable
information, such as full social security number or birth date, (iii) your logon information for internet account access, or (iv) images of identification documents such as

Important Information about Procedures for Opening a New Card 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 obtains a Card. What this means for you: the correctional
facility that provided you with your Card has provided us with information regarding your name, date of birth, and address for you and may have provided us with
additional information about you. If we request you to do so, you agree to confirm that information and /or provide us with additional information in order to assist our
effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations including: 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.
If we are unable to verify your identity, we may, at our sole discretion: (i) permit you to activate and use your Card to spend down any Available Balance on your Card,
(ii) issue you a refund check for any Available Balance on your Card provided we have a valid U.S. mailing address for you, or (iii) require further investigation. You
will not be able to reload your Card and may not be able to use your Card internationally until we are able to verify your identity.
About the Card. The Card has been provided pursuant to the Prestige Inmate Release Card Program. The Card is a prepaid card. The Card is not a credit card. The Card
is not a gift card, nor is it intended to be used for gifting purposes. The Card is not a checking or savings account. You will not receive any interest on your funds in
your Card Account. There is no credit line associated with your Card. Your Card cannot be redeemed for cash. You may use the Card to access your funds as set out in
the “Using Your Card” section below. The funds in your Card Account will be insured to the maximum coverage limit provided by the FDIC, through the Issuer, once
we have been able to verify your identity. The Card is and will at all times remain the property of the Issuer and must be surrendered upon demand. The Card is
nontransferable, may not be resold, and may be canceled, repossessed, or revoked at any time without prior notice subject to applicable law. You agree to sign the back
of each Card immediately upon receipt. You agree to only use the Card for personal, family or household purposes. We may refuse to process any transaction that we
believe may violate the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. All dollar amounts stated herein are in U.S. Dollars ("USD") unless expressly stated otherwise. The
Card is offered in all states.
Fees. All fee amounts will be withdrawn from your Card Account, except where prohibited by law.
NOTE: Fees assessed to your Card Account Balance may bring your Card Account Balance negative. Any time your Card Account Balance is less than the fee amount
being assessed on your Card Account or your Card Account Balance is already negative, the assessment of the fee will result in a negative Balance on your Card Account
or increase the negative Balance on your Card Account, as applicable. If that occurs, any subsequent deposits or loads into your Card Account will first be applied to the
negative Balance.
The fees that apply to your Card Account are listed on the accompanying Fee Schedule and are also available on our Website (see section above entitled “How to Contact
Us”).
Instant Issue Card. If you receive a Card that is not embossed with your name from the correctional facility that provides it to you, you received an Instant Issue Card.
Activating Your Card. Your Card may be active when you receive it from the correctional facility. If it is not active, you must activate your Card before it can be used.
You may activate your Card by calling 1-844-633-5879. Your Card may not be immediately available for use after activation if we have not verified your identity.
Authorized Users. You may not request an additional Card for another person. You are responsible for all authorized transactions initiated and fees incurred by use of
your Card. You should not allow others to have access to and use your Card. If you do permit another person to have access to and use your Card, Card Account, Card
Number, or PIN, we will treat such permission as if you have authorized such use and you will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by those persons. You are
responsible for the authorized use of your Card and the security of your PIN according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Using Your Card.
Card Account Access. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and the accompanying Fee Schedule, you may use your Card, Card Number, or Account
Number, as applicable, to (1) purchase goods or services wherever your Card is accepted, (2) transfer funds from your Card Account to your bank account, (3) withdraw
cash from your Card Account wherever your Card Network’s brand marks are displayed (as described in the Section below entitled “Using Your Card to Get Cash”), as
long as you do not exceed the value available in your Card Account. There may be fees associated with some of these transactions. For fee information, see the Fee
Schedule attached to this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided for elsewhere herein, you are personally responsible for all transactions initiated and fees incurred by
the use or attempted use of your Card. Some of these services may not be available at all terminals or bank teller locations.
You may not use your Card for any online gambling, escort services, or any illegal transaction, even if gambling is legal in the jurisdiction where the activity took place.
We are not responsible for your losses from gambling or illegal activity. It is your responsibility to determine if your usage is legal. You may not use your Card Number
or the Issuer's routing number and your assigned Account Number in connection with the creation and/or negotiation of any financial instruments, such as checks, which
we have not authorized.
You acknowledge and agree that the value available in your Card Account for use or withdrawal is limited to the funds loaded to your Card Account minus any pending
loads or pending authorizations, minus funds spent or withdrawn from the Card Account and minus any and all applicable fees. If your Available Balance is insufficient
to cover any transaction amount or any transaction fee(s) assessed or both, the transaction may be declined. If you use your Card Number without presenting your Card
(such as for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you used the Card itself.
Limitations on Frequency and Dollar Amounts of Transactions. We impose certain limitations on the number or dollar amount of transactions you can make with your
Card. For security reasons, we may further limit the number or dollar amount of transactions you can make with your Card. We may also limit transactions made with
certain types of merchants, including but not limited to merchants engaged in illegal activities, online or off-shore gaming, or dating/escort services. We may increase
or decrease these limits from time to time in our sole discretion and without prior notice to you, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

*We may increase or decrease these limits or add additional limits from time to time in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to accept or reject any request to
reload value to the Card if we reasonably suspect the Card is being used for prohibited purposes. The Card may only be reloaded where the reloads are in the
Cardholder's name. We will provide advance notice of such changes when required by Law.
Adding Funds (“Loading”) to Your Card Account. Adding funds is referred to as “Loading”. Funds can only be added to the Card by the correctional facility providing
you with your Card. You may not load funds to the Card. We have no obligation to you in the event that there is a delay or failure in providing funds to your Card. We
may deduct, or designate a third party to cause a deduction from the funds loaded on the Card in order to correct a previous error or overpayment to you. You hereby
authorize such deductions. If you have a dispute with the correctional facility about the amount that the correctional facility instructs us to load onto your Card, you
agree to not involve us in that dispute and to resolve that dispute solely with the correctional facility.
PIN. You will receive a default PIN with your Card from the correctional facility that provided you the Card. You may change the default PIN by calling our Customer
Service number and changing it via our automated system. Only one (1) PIN will be issued for each Card Account. Your PIN can be used to obtain cash (see section
labeled “Using Your Card to Get Cash”) or to make purchases everywhere your Card is accepted. You should not write or keep your PIN with your Card. Never share
your PIN with anyone. When entering your PIN, be sure it cannot be observed by others and do not enter your PIN into any terminal that appears to be modified or
suspicious. If you believe that anyone has gained unauthorized access to your PIN, you should advise us immediately by following the procedures described below in
the section entitled “Your Responsibility and Liability for Unauthorized Transfers”.
PIN and Non-PIN Transactions. Merchants may limit the available options for the type of transaction you wish to conduct or may let you choose between a PIN (“Debit”)
transaction or a signature (“Credit”) transaction at the point of sale. To initiate a signature transaction at the point of sale, select “Credit” and sign the receipt (if required
by the merchant). To initiate a PIN transaction at the point of sale, select “Debit” and enter your PIN at the point of sale terminal. For mail order, telephone, Internet or
other card-not-present purchases, merchants may choose to route a transaction as a PIN transaction without asking you to enter your PIN, which may subject you to PIN

purchase fees. A merchant may also be permitted to route a transaction through as a PIN Debit without requiring you to enter your PIN even when your card is present.
In each of these circumstances, we recommend that you ask the merchant whether your transaction will be routed as a PIN or signature transaction, to the extent we
assess different fees under the accompanying Fee Schedule for PIN and signature transactions, as we are not able to control how the merchant routes your transaction.
If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (such as for online, mail order, or telephone purchases), the legal effect will be the same as if you used the
Card itself.
Using Your Card to Get Cash. With your PIN, you may use your Card to: (i) obtain cash or check your Available Balance at any ATM that bears the Mastercard®,
Maestro®, Cirrus®, NYCE®, or MoneyPass® brand mark, or (ii) obtain cash at merchants or banks that have agreed to provide cash back at Point of Sale (“POS”) terminals
bearing the brand mark of your Card Network. ATM locations within the network are subject change at any time by the ATM operator or network. The maximum amount
of cash you may withdraw at an ATM on a daily basis is described above in the section entitled “Limitations on Frequency and Dollar Amounts of Transactions”. We
may limit the amount of any individual ATM withdrawal, and merchants, banks and ATM operators may impose additional withdrawal limits. See attached Fee Schedule
for information on the fees we assess for cash withdrawal and Balance inquiry transactions. You may also be charged a fee by the ATM operator or any network used
(and you may be charged a fee for a Balance inquiry even if you do not conduct a withdrawal). Such third party ATM fees will be deducted from your Card Account in
addition to any fees stated in the accompanying Fee Schedule. You may also use your Card to request a cash withdrawal from a bank teller. For fee information, see the
accompanying Fee Schedule.
Transactions Made Outside of the United States. If you obtain funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which your Card Account was issued,
the amount deducted from your funds will be converted by the Card Network into an amount in the currency of your Card. The exchange rate between the transaction
currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by the Card Network from the range of rates available in wholesale
currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate the Card Network itself receives or the government-mandated rate in effect
for the applicable central processing date. The Card Network (independently of us) may assess a fee for currency conversion based upon the amount of the transaction
in the currency of your Card Account and will retain this amount as compensation for its services. The conversion rate may be different from the rate in effect on the
date of your transaction and the date it is posted to your account.
If you obtain your funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which your Card Account was issued, you will be assessed an International
Transaction Fee equal to a percentage of the transaction amount, but no less than one cent ($0.01), by the Issuer. For specific fee information including the percentage
assessed, see the Fee Schedule attached to this Agreement. Transactions made outside of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia are also subject to this
conversion fee even if they are completed in U.S. currency. For security reasons, the Issuer may limit or deny use of your Card in certain foreign countries.
Some foreign merchants may allow you to complete your transaction in U.S. Dollars rather than the applicable foreign currency. Oftentimes, the merchant will assess a
fee for such a service. You should inquire with the merchant before conducting the transaction, as we do not control the amount of such fee.
Other Important Information About Using Your Card and Card Account.
Your Obligation for Negative Balances. Each time you use your Card, you authorize us to reduce your Available Balance by the amount of the transaction and any
applicable fees. You cannot use the Card to complete a transaction if the amount of the transaction exceeds your available Card Account Balance. Nevertheless, if any
transactions cause the Balance in your Card Account to go negative, including any purchase transactions where the retailer or merchant does not request authorization,
you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of any negative Balance and any corresponding transaction fees. You agree to pay us promptly for the negative Balance.
We further reserve the right to offset any negative Balance by any current or future funds you may load to or maintain in your Card Account or funds in any other Card
Account you maintain with us now or in the future.
Understanding Your Available Balance. If a merchant preauthorizes a transaction from your Card Account and then you do not make the purchase or payment of the
item as planned, the preauthorization may result in a hold on your available funds in the Card Account for the preauthorized amount for up to thirty (30) days or more.
This timeline is determined by the Card Network and/or the merchant. When you use your Card to pay for goods or services, such as at a restaurant, a hotel or rental car
purchases, certain merchants may preauthorize the transaction for the purchase amount plus an additional amount (to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover
tips or incidental expenses incurred). Any preauthorized amount will place a hold on your Card’s funds for the amount indicated by the merchant until the merchant
sends us the final amount of your purchase. You will not be able to use the money on your Card that is pending until the transaction settles. Once the final payment
amount is received, the preauthorization amount on hold will be removed. We will only charge your Card for the amount of the final transaction and will release any
remaining amount when the transaction finally settles. If there are any funds on hold for any transaction, we cannot reverse the hold and give you back your money until
the transaction settles. If you use your Card at an automated fuel dispenser (“pay at the pump”), the merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount (place a hold) on
your Card Account of up to $75.00 or more. This may cause your Card to be declined, even though you have sufficient funds available on your Card to pay for the
transaction. We recommend you pay for your purchase inside with the cashier. If you do not have enough value loaded on your Card you can instruct the merchant to
charge a part of the purchase to the Card and pay the remaining amount with cash or another card. These are called “split transactions”. Some merchants do not allow
split transactions or only allow split transactions if you pay the remaining amount in cash. You should ask the merchant prior to attempting any split transaction.
Use of Bank Routing Number and Account Number. Our bank routing number and your assigned Account Number are to be used only for the purpose of initiating ACH
payments to and from your Card Account and all such transactions must be performed within the U.S. The 16-digit Card Number embossed or printed on your Card
cannot be used for initiating direct deposits and such deposits will be rejected. You are not authorized to use our bank routing number and Account Number to make a
debit transaction if you do not have sufficient funds in your Card Account or to make any debit transaction with a paper check, check-by-phone or other item processed
as a check. These debits will be declined and your payment will not be processed.
Recurring Transactions. If you intend to use the Card for recurring transactions, you should monitor your Balance and ensure you have funds available in your Card
Account to cover the transactions. “Recurring transactions” are transactions that are authorized in advance by you to be charged to your Card at substantially regular
intervals. We are not responsible if a recurring transaction is declined because you have not maintained a sufficient Balance in your Card Account to cover the transaction.
If these recurring transactions may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay should tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much
it will be. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount
would fall outside certain limits that you set.) If you have told us in advance to make regular payments (i.e., Recurring Transactions) from your Card Account, you can
stop the payment by notifying us orally or in writing at least three (3) business days before the scheduled date of the transfer. If you call, we also may require you to put
your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call. If you order us to stop one of these payments three (3) business days or more before the transfer is
scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages. If you have authorized a merchant to make the recurring payment, you should also contact
the applicable merchant in order to stop the transaction.
Fraudulent Card Account Activity. We may block or cancel your Card Account if, as a result of our policies and procedures, if we reasonably believe your Card Account
is being used for fraudulent, suspicious or criminal activity or any activity that is inconsistent with this Agreement. We will incur no liability because of the unavailability
of the funds that may be associated with your Card Account.
NOTE: If we contact you because we suspect your Card Account may have been compromised, your Card will likely be unable to be used to complete a purchase or
ATM withdrawal. We will attempt to contact you. If for whatever reason, we are unable to reach you, we will try to leave you a message. If we do so or if you are unable
to use the Card, please make every effort to return our call as soon as possible in order to reinstate transaction capabilities or to order you a new Card. These actions are
taken to preserve your rights under the section entitled “Your Responsibility and Liability for Unauthorized Transfers ”, and serve to potentially help to protect you from
fraud. Please note that fees will continue to be assessed in accordance with the accompanying Fee Schedule while your account is suspended.
No Warranty. We are not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of the goods and services purchased from merchants with the Card.
All disputes concerning those matters should be addressed to the merchants from whom the goods and services were purchased. Merchants have no authority to make
representations or warranties on our behalf, to bind us or to enter into any agreement on our behalf. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT OR REQUIRED BY LAW, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO YOU, WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, REGARDING THE CARD, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Receipts. You should get a receipt at the time you make a transaction using your Card. You agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your transactions and receipts.
Returns and Refunds on Transactions. If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with your Card, you agree to accept credits to your
Card Account for such refunds and agree to the refund policy of that merchant. There may be a delay of up to five (5) days or more from the date the refund transaction
occurs until the date the refund amount is credited to your Card Account.
Card Replacement. If you need to replace your Card for any reason, please contact us by telephone (see section above entitled “How to Contact Us”). We may assess a
fee for the Replacement Card. See the accompanying Fee Schedule for information about the fees.
Card Account Balance Refund. When you receive your Card, you will have a Grace Period. During the Grace Period, you may request a Card Account Balance Refund
via a check without incurring a fee if you have not used your Card. In the event that your Card Account is cancelled, closed, or terminated for any reason, you may
request the unused Balance to be returned to you via a check to the mailing address we have in our records. You may contact Customer Service to correct your mailing
address, if needed. (See section above entitled “How to Contact Us”). A fee may apply for check refunds. For more information about the fee, see the accompanying
Fee Schedule. The Issuer reserves the right to refuse to return any unused Balance amount less than $1.00, unless prohibited by law.
Card Expiration. Subject to applicable law, you may use your Card only through the Card expiration date. The expiration date is identified on your Card. The funds in
your Card Account will not expire, regardless of the expiration date on your Card, but may be subject to fees. If there is a Balance remaining on the Card upon expiration
and your Card is in good standing, a check will be issued to you for any remaining balance, provided we have a valid U.S. mailing address for you.
Obtaining Card Account Balance and Historical Transaction Information. You are responsible for keeping track of and reconciling your available Card Account Balance.
Merchants generally will not be able to tell you your Available Balance. It is important you know your Available Balance before initiating any transaction, as a declined
ATM transaction for insufficient funds or exceeding your Card’s limits may result in a fee. See the accompanying Fee Schedule for more information regarding this fee,
if any. You may access your Available Balance at no cost on our Website or by contacting us by phone (see the section above entitled “How to Contact Us”). A history
of at least twelve (12) preceding months of Card Account transactions is also available at no cost by logging into your Card Account on our Website. You also have a
right to obtain twenty-four (24) months of written history of Card Account transactions by contacting us by telephone or mail. You will not automatically receive paper
statements.
Important Information Regarding Your Rights and Responsibilities.
Confidentiality. We may disclose information to third parties about your Card or the transactions you make:
(i) Where it is necessary for completing transactions;
(ii) In order to verify the existence and condition of your Card for a third party, such as a merchant;
(iii) In order to comply with government agency, court order, or other legal reporting requirements;
(iv) If you consent by giving us your written permission;
(v) To our employees, auditors, affiliates, service providers, or attorneys as needed; or
(vi) Otherwise as necessary to fulfill our obligations under this Agreement.
Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions. If we do not properly complete a transaction with respect to your Card on time or in the correct amount according to
our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages; however, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
(i) If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available in your Card Account to complete the transaction;
(ii) If a merchant refuses to accept your Card;
(iii) If an ATM where you are making a cash withdrawal does not have enough cash;
(iv) If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly, and you knew about the problem when you initiated the transaction;
(v) If access to your Card Account has been blocked after you reported your Card lost or stolen;
(vi) If access to your Card Account has been blocked by us for suspected fraud;
(vii) If there is a hold on your funds or your funds in your Card Account are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting their use;
(viii) If we have reason to believe the requested transaction is unauthorized;
(ix) If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, or computer or communication failure) prevent the completion of the transaction, despite reasonable
precautions that we have taken; or
(x) Any other exception stated in our Agreement with you excludes us from such liability.
IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE HELD LIABLE TO YOU, YOU WILL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER YOUR ACTUAL DAMAGES AND, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SHALL BE FURTHER LIMITED BY THE TOTAL AMOUNT LOADED ON THE CARD ACCOUNT. IN NO
EVENT WILL YOU BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF YOU HAVE ADVISED US OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED
BY LAW OR THIS AGREEMENT, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR: DELAYS OR MISTAKES RESULTING FROM ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
BEYOND OUR CONTROL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTS OF GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, NATIONAL EMERGENCIES,
INSURRECTION, WAR, OR RIOTS; THE FAILURE OF MERCHANTS TO HONOR THE CARD; THE FAILURE OF MERCHANTS TO PERFORM OR
PROVIDE SERVICES; COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FAILURES; OR FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO YOUR EQUIPMENT, ANY
INTERNET SERVICES, OR ANY PAYMENT SYSTEM. THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT BE EFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY
LAW.
Your Responsibility and Liability for Unauthorized Transfers. You agree to exercise reasonable control over your PIN; user ID; and password and any other access code
related to your Card Account (each, an “Access Code”) and your Card. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card has been lost or your Card or Access Code(s) have
been stolen, or if you believe that an electronic funds transfer has been made without your permission. Contacting us by telephone as soon as possible is the best way to
minimize your possible losses (see the section above entitled “How to Contact Us”). You could lose all the money in your Card Account.
If you notify us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your Card without your
permission. If you do not notify us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card and we can prove that we could have stopped someone
from using your Card without your permission if you had promptly notified us, you could lose as much as $500.00.
Also, if you become aware of and/or your electronic history shows transactions that you did not make, including those made by Card or other means, notify us at once
following the procedures stated in the section labeled "Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors". If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days from the earlier
of the date you electronically access your Card Account or the date we sent the FIRST written history on which the unauthorized transfer appeared, then you may not
get back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good
reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

In the event you lose your Card or if it’s stolen, we will block the Card as soon as we have been notified by you. Please report this immediately by calling our Customer
Service number (see the section above entitled “How to Contact Us”). The card will be re-issued and mailed to you; however, the expiration date may be the same as the
original issued expiration date. If the Card is lost or stolen while traveling overseas, we will re-issue the card; however, the card will be mailed to your home address we
have on record. Cards will only be delivered outside of the USA at our discretion. We may assess a fee for the Replacement Card. See the accompanying Fee Schedule
for information about the fees.

Continuation. This Arbitration Provision is binding upon and benefits you, your respective heirs, successors and assigns. This Arbitration Provision is binding upon and
benefits us, our successors and assigns, and related third parties. This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of your Card as well as voluntary payment of any
debt in full by you, any legal proceeding by us to collect a debt owed by you, and any bankruptcy by you or us. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is deemed
invalid or unenforceable under any principle or provision of law or equity, consistent with the FAA, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration
Provision, the Agreement or any prior agreement you may have had with us, each of which shall be enforceable regardless of such invalidity.

You agree to cooperate completely with us in attempts to recover funds from unauthorized users and to assist in their prosecution. If you share your Card or Access
Code(s) with another person, use of your Card Account by that person may be considered as authorized. If you authorize another person to use your Card or Access
Code(s), you agree that you will be liable for all transactions arising from use of the Card or Access Code(s) by such person except as otherwise set forth in this
Agreement. In all cases, our liability for an unauthorized transaction is limited to reimbursing you for the face amount of the unauthorized transaction and any
corresponding fees, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

English Language Controls. Any translation of this Agreement is provided for your convenience. The meanings of terms, conditions and representations herein are
subject to definitions and interpretations in the English language. Any translation provided may not accurately represent the information in the original English.

Mastercard Zero Liability Policy- Guidelines and Limitations. In addition to your limitations of liability under the Your Responsibility and Liability for Unauthorized
Transfers section above, your liability for the unauthorized use of your Card Account may also be limited by the Card Network. Subject to the limitations and exclusions
stated below, under the Card Network’s rules, you will have no liability for a transaction that was not authorized by you if you exercised reasonable care in safeguarding
the Card from risk of loss or theft, and, upon becoming aware of such loss or theft, promptly reported such loss or theft to us by calling our Customer Service number
(see the section above entitled “How to Contact Us”). The Card Network’s Zero Liability Policy is subject to change without notice and changes made by the Card
Network will automatically apply to your Card Account.
Information about Your Rights to Dispute Errors. In case of errors or questions about your Card, call our Customer Service number or write to our Customer Service
address (see the section above entitled “How to Contact Us”). We must allow you to report an error until sixty (60) days after the earlier of the date you electronically
access your Card Account, if the error could be viewed in your electronic history, or the date we sent the FIRST written history on which the error appeared. You may
request a written history of your transactions at any time by calling our Customer Service number or writing to our Customer Service address (see the section above
entitled “How to Contact Us”). You will need to tell us:
1. Your name and Card Number, Customer Number, or Account Number;
2. Why you believe there is an error, and the dollar amount involved; and
3. Approximately when the error took place.
If you provide this information orally, we may require that you send your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) Business Days. We will determine whether
an error occurred within ten (10) Business Days after we hear from you and will correct any error within one business day. If we need more time, however, we may take
up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question.
If we need more time to investigate your complaint or question, we will credit your Card Account within ten (10) Business Days for the amount you think is in error, so
that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes to complete the investigation. This type of credit is referred to as a “provisional” or “temporary” credit.
If we ask you to put your transaction dispute in writing and you do not provide it within ten (10) Business Days, we may not provide a provisional credit to your Card
Account.
For errors involving new Cards, POS transactions, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For
new Card Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) Business Days to credit your Card Account for the amount you think is in error.
We will tell you the results within three (3) Business Days after completing the investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.
Copies of the documents used in the investigation may be obtained by contacting us (see the section above entitled “How to Contact Us”). If you need more information
about our error-resolution procedures, call our Customer Service number or write to our Customer Service address (see the section above entitled “How to Contact Us”).
Recording and Monitoring. From time to time, in accordance with applicable law, we may monitor and/or record telephone calls between you and us or our vendors and
third party service providers to assure the quality of our customer service.
Address or Name Changes. You are responsible for notifying us of any change in your physical address, mailing address, email address, telephone number, or your name
no later than two (2) weeks after said change. Any notice of change of address or name required by this Agreement may be provided to us by calling our Customer
Service number or by writing to our Customer Service address (see the section above entitled “How to Contact Us”). We may require verification from you of any
address change. Typically, this will be in the form of independent documents confirming your name and new address. We will attempt to communicate with you only
by use of the most recent contact information you have provided to us. You agree and understand that any notice or communication sent to you at an address noted in
our records shall be effective unless we have received an address change notice from you.
Short Message Service Text Message (“SMS”), Email, Mail, Telephone Calls, and Prerecorded Telephone Calls (each individually, a “Notification” and collectively,
“Notifications”). We would like to send you Notifications about your Card Account. These Notifications can be for business purposes to provide you important
information related to your Card or Card Account and/or for commercial purposes to let you know about services or features that may be of interest to you. You must
opt-in for such Notifications by logging onto www.prestigelogin.com. In order to receive SMS text messages or mobile alerts, you must opt-in to this service, have text
messaging enabled on your cellular telephone and subscribe to a participating cellular telephone carrier. There will not be a fee for this service. Standard cellular service
provider messaging and data fees may apply. Check with your cellular service provider for more details.
At any time, if you wish to stop receiving (“opt-out” of) SMS Notifications you can do so by logging into your online account and updating your settings. If you wish to
stop receiving marketing emails, you may click the Opt Out or Unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email that you receive. If you choose to later opt out of receiving
Notifications by SMS texts or commercial emails from us, you may receive a confirmation notice confirming your decision to opt-out. You agree that we may send you
such confirmations. You also acknowledge that for account security purposes we may send you emails or call you regarding your Card Account, even if you have put
your number on a Do Not Call list or have opted out of receiving general commercial email from us. You may opt out of all Notifications at any time by calling our
Customer Service number (see the section above entitled “How to Contact Us”); however, we reserve the right to restrict or terminate your access to any and all related
products if you withdraw your consent to receive electronic communications. Any withdrawal of your consent to receive Notifications will be effective only after we
have a reasonable period of time to process your withdrawal. If you withdraw your consent, the legal validity and enforceability of prior business Notifications delivered
in electronic form will not be affected. You agree that we shall not be liable for incomplete, lost, late, damaged, illegible, or misdirected Notifications or for any technical
problems, malfunctions of any telephone lines, computer systems, servers, providers, hardware/software, lost or unavailable network connections, failed, incomplete,
garbled, or delayed transmissions, or damage to any phone or computer system resulting from your participation in or accessing or downloading information in connection
with such Notifications.
Assignment. Your Card, your Card Account and your obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by you. We may transfer our rights under this Agreement.
Use of your Card is subject to all applicable rules and customs of any clearinghouse or other network or association involved in transactions. We do not waive our rights
by delaying or failing to exercise them at any time. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any rule, law, or regulation
of any governmental agency, local, state, or federal, the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall not be affected. This Agreement will be
governed by the laws of the State of Missouri except to the extent governed by federal law.
Amendment, Cancellation and Expiration. We may (a) amend or change the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (b) cancel or suspend your Card Account or this
Agreement, at any time without prior notice to you except as required by applicable law. You may close your Card Account and terminate this Agreement at any time
by contacting us by mail or telephone (see the section above entitled “How to Contact Us”). Your termination of this Agreement will not affect any of our rights or your
obligations arising under this Agreement prior to termination. For security or other reasons, we may consider your Card and Card Account inactive or dormant after a
certain period of time as determined by us, (such period normally being not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days), during which time you have not used your
Card for any transactions or during which time you have maintained a zero or negative Balance on your Card Account. If your Card and Card Account are inactive, we
may close or cancel the Card and Card Account at our discretion. The Card and the funds loaded on your Card Account may also be deemed abandoned if you do not
use your Card for a period of time specified by applicable law. If this occurs, we may try to locate you at the address last shown in our records. If we are unable to
locate you, we may be required to escheat any money on your Card to the applicable state as unclaimed property. In the event that your Card Account is cancelled,
closed, or terminated for any reason, you may request the unused Balance to be returned to you via a check to the mailing address we have in our records. There may be
a fee for this service. See attached Fee Schedule for more information regarding fees. If we identified any fraudulent, illegal or any other use of your Card that is not
permitted by this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, we may, at our option and without waiving any of our rights, offset any direct loss up to the amount suffered
by us as a result of such use from any Balance on your Card Account or any other Card Account that you may have, or may open in the future.
Arbitration
ACTIVATION OR USE OF YOUR CARD ACCOUNT OR CARD CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THIS ARBITRATION INCLUDING WAIVER OF YOUR
RIGHTS TO CLASS ACTION.
Purpose. This Arbitration Provision sets forth the circumstances and procedures under which claims (as defined below) may be arbitrated instead of litigated in court.
Opt-Out Process. You may choose to opt out of the Arbitration Provision, but only by following the process set-forth below. If you do not wish to be subject to this
Arbitration Provision, then you must notify us in writing within sixty (60) calendar days of the acceptance of your Card at the following address: P.O. Box 124, Dell
Rapids, South Dakota, 57022.
Your written notice must include your name, address, Card Number or social security number and a statement that you wish to opt out of this Arbitration Provision.
Definitions. As used in this Arbitration Provision, the term "Claim" means any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us arising from or relating to the Card or
this Agreement as well as any related or prior agreement that you may have had with us or the relationships resulting from this Agreement, including the validity,
enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Provision or the Agreements. "Claim" includes claims of every kind and nature, including but not limited to initial claims,
counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims and claims based upon contract, tort, fraud and other intentional torts, statutes, regulations, common law and equity.
The term "Claim" is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced and includes, without limitation, any claim, dispute or controversy that arises from
or relates to: (i) your Card; (ii) the amount of available funds in your Account; (iii) advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements related to your Card, goods
or services purchased with your Card; (iv) the benefits and services related to your Card; and (v) your enrollment for any Card. We shall not elect to use arbitration under
the Arbitration Provision for any Claim that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court of your state or municipality so long as the Claim is individual and
pending only in the court. As used in the Arbitration Provision, the terms “we” and “us” shall for all purposes mean the Issuer, wholly or majority owned subsidiaries,
affiliates, licensees, predecessors, successors, and assigns; and all of their agents, employees, directors and representatives. In addition, “we” or “us” shall include any
third party using or providing any product, service or benefit in connection with your Card (including, but not limited to merchants who accept the Card, third parties
who use or provide services, debt collectors and all of their agents, employees, directors and representatives) if, and only if, such third party is named as a co-party with
us (or files a Claim with or against us) in connection with a Claim asserted by you. As solely used in this Arbitration Provision, the terms “you” or “yours” shall mean
all persons or entities approved by us to have and/or use the Card, including but not limited to all persons or entities contractually obligated under this Agreement.
Significance of Arbitration. IF ARBITRATION IS CHOSEN BY ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT
TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM, OR TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN
THE CODE OF PROCEDURES OF THE JAMS, OR AAA, AS APPLICABLE (THE “CODE”). FURTHER, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO
PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO
ARBITRATION. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. NOTE THAT OTHER RIGHTS THAT
YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
Restrictions on Arbitration. If either party elects to resolve a Claim by arbitration, that Claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis. There shall be no right or authority
for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving Claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other
Cardholders or other persons similarly situated. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve Claims is limited to Claims between you and us alone, and the arbitrator’s authority
to make awards is limited to you and us alone. Furthermore, Claims brought by you against us or by us against you may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with
Claims brought by or against someone other than you, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties.
Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Administrator. Any Claim shall be resolved, upon the election by you or us, by arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration
Provision and the code of procedures of the national arbitration organization to which the Claim is referred in effect at the time the Claim is filed. Claims shall be referred
to either the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as selected by the party electing to use arbitration.
If a selection by us of one of these organizations is unacceptable to you, you shall have the right within thirty (30) days after you receive notice of our election to select
either of the other organizations listed to serve as arbitrator administrator. For a copy of the procedures, to file a Claim or for other information about these organizations,
contact them as follows: (i) JAMS at 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 92614; website at www.jamsadr.com; (ii) AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York,
NY 10017; website at www.adr.org.
Arbitration Procedures. This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act,
9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, as it may be amended (the “FAA”). The arbitration shall be governed by the applicable Code, except that (to the extent enforceable under the
FAA) this Arbitration Provision shall control if it is inconsistent with the applicable Code. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA
and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law and, at the timely request of either party, shall provide a brief written
explanation of the basis for the decision. In conducting the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall not apply the Federal or any state rules of civil procedure or rules
of evidence. Either party may submit a request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery allowable under the applicable Code. The party submitting such a
request must provide a copy to the other party, who may submit objections to the arbitrator with a copy of the objections provided to the request party, within fifteen
(15) days of receiving the requesting party’s notice. The granting or denial of such request will be in the sole discretion of the arbitrator who shall notify the parties of
his/her decision within twenty (20) days of the objecting party’s submission. The arbitrator shall take reasonable steps to preserve the privacy of individuals, and of
business matters. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding,
except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, any party can appeal that award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the same arbitration
organization, which shall consider anew any aspect of the initial award objected to by the appealing party. The appealing party shall have thirty (30) days from the date
of entry of the written arbitration award to notify the arbitration organization that it is exercising the right of appeal. The appeal shall be filed with the arbitration
organization in the form of a dated writing. The arbitration organization will then notify the other party that the award has been appealed. The arbitration organization
will appoint a three-arbitrator panel which will conduct an arbitration pursuant to its Code and issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date
of the appellant’s written notice. The decision of the panel shall be by majority vote and shall be final and binding.
Location of Arbitration/Payment of Fees. Any arbitration hearing that you attend shall take place in the federal judicial district of your primary residence. At the conclusion
of the arbitration (or any appeal thereof), the arbitrator (or panel) will decide who will ultimately be responsible for paying the filing, administrative and/or hearing fees
in connection with the arbitration (or appeal). If and to the extent you incur filing, administrative and/or hearing fees in arbitration, including for any appeal, exceeding
the amount they would have been if the Claim had been brought in the state or federal court which is closest to your billing address and would have had jurisdiction over
the Claim, we will reimburse you to that extent unless the arbitrator (or panel) determines that the fees were incurred without any substantial justification.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us, whether written or oral, with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes any prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements with respect to their subject matter. If any of the terms of this Agreement are invalid, or declared
invalid by order of court, change in applicable law, or regulatory authority, the remaining terms of this Agreement shall not be affected, and this Agreement shall be
interpreted as if the invalid terms had not been included in this Agreement.
