For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of first refusal set forth in this Section 19 shall not apply to any bona fide Financing by Company or any sale or transfer of Receivables to any Affiliate of Company.

(b) The giving of the Transfer Notice shall constitute an offer (the “Transfer Offer”) by Company to sell to Seller (or its designee) the Subject Receivables at the Sale Price and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Term Sheet. (****) following receipt by Seller of the Transfer Notice and Transfer Term Sheet (the “ROFR Election Period”), Seller may elect to purchase (or cause its designee to purchase) (and, in which case, Company shall be obligated to sell) all of such Subject Receivables at the Sale Price and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Term Sheet by delivering to Company a notice (the “ROFR Purchase Notice”) indicating its wish to exercise its rights under this Section 19(b) to purchase (or cause to be purchased) such Subject Receivables on such terms or other terms as may be agreed between the Parties.

Delivery of the ROFR Purchase Notice will constitute a binding and irrevocable commitment by Seller to purchase (or cause to be purchased) the Subject Receivables on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice and Transfer Term Sheet (as may be modified by agreement between the Parties). Such purchase and sale shall be consummated as promptly as reasonably possible, but in no event the later of (****) if the consummation requires approvals of any Regulatory Authority to consummate such purchase and sale, (****).

Seller shall repurchase any such Receivable on the date mutually agreed to by Seller and Company, which date shall be within a commercially reasonable time period, not to exceed five (5) Business Days, after notice or knowledge of the event giving rise to the repurchase obligation contained in this Section 20(a). Seller and Company shall execute all agreements and other documents, and shall take all other actions, reasonably requested by the other to effect any required repurchase.

(b) If any Receivable sold by Seller pursuant to this Agreement is subject to Dilution, then Company shall be entitled to a credit against Seller in an amount of the net reduction caused by the Dilution of such Receivable, less the Discount Rate applied to such Receivable as of the Closing Date for such Receivable. Any credits that Company is entitled to pursuant to this Section 20(b) shall be applied as a credit for the account of Company against the purchase price of Receivables subsequently purchased by Company from Seller hereunder; provided that within five (5) Business Days of termination or expiration of this Agreement, the amount of any credit outstanding at the time of such termination or expiration shall be paid by Seller to Company in immediately available funds.

(c) For each repurchase of a Receivable under Section 20(a), the repurchase price to be paid by Seller shall be equal to the Back Book Purchase Price, the Add-on Receivable Purchase Price or Forward Flow Purchase Price, each as applicable, paid by Company for such Receivable, minus any net proceeds received by Company with respect to such Receivable. Upon receipt of such repurchase price, Company shall, at Seller’s sole expense, transfer its interest in such repurchased Receivable to Seller on an “AS-IS”, “WHERE-IS” basis, without any representations or warranties, other than the absence of Liens on such Receivable created by or on behalf of Company.

(d) Any payment by Seller pursuant to this Section 20, shall be made in accordance with Section 33.

21.	Confidentiality.

(a) The Parties agree that Confidential Information of each other Party shall be used by each Party solely in the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, any Financing and the Confidentiality Agreement, except as required by Applicable Law, a Regulatory Authority or legal process. Neither Party (the “Restricted Party”) shall disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to third parties; provided, however, that the Restricted Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party (i) to its Affiliates, employees and agents or representatives for the sole purpose of fulfilling the Restricted Party’s obligations under this Agreement (as long as the Restricted Party prohibits any further disclosure by its Affiliates, employees, agents or representatives); or (ii) to the Restricted Party’s auditors, accountants and other professional advisors. Confidential Information of the other shall not include information that:

(i) is generally available to the public;

(ii) has become publicly known, without fault on the part of the Restricted Party subsequent to the Restricted Party acquiring the information;

(iii) was otherwise known by, or available to, the Restricted Party prior to entering into this Agreement; or

(iv) 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 to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the non-Restricted Party or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Restricted Party.

(b) Upon request or upon the termination of this Agreement, each Party shall destroy all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession that is in written form, including by way of example, but not limited to, reports, plans, and manuals; provided, however that either Party may maintain in its possession all such Confidential Information of the other Party required to be maintained under Applicable Law relating to the retention of records for the period of time required thereunder and in accordance with the bona fide document retention policies of such Party. Notwithstanding the destruction of the Confidential Information, the Parties shall continue to be bound by their obligations of confidentiality hereunder.

(c) Each Party shall require its subcontractors having access to Confidential Information of the other Party to agree in writing to be bound by provisions materially similar to this Section 21 prior to disclosure of any Confidential Information of the other Party to such subcontractors. Such Party shall keep and maintain such protective agreements and shall promptly provide the other Party with copies thereof upon request.

(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 another Party, the Restricted Party, unless prohibited by applicable law, will provide the other Party with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the other Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that the other Party does not seek such a protective order or other remedy, or such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Restricted Party may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information which the Restricted Party is legally compelled to disclose and will exercise such effort to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential Information so furnished as the Restricted Party would exercise in assuring the confidentiality of any of its own confidential information.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement, Company shall be permitted to reveal Confidential Information to the extent necessary (i) to perfect or enforce the transfer of the Receivables to Company and (ii) to effect a Financing, in each case subject to any restrictions under Applicable Law.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no limitation is imposed with respect to any disclosure of the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g) The terms of this Section 21, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, shall supersede and replace any other agreements between the Parties pertaining to confidentiality.

22.	Indemnification.

(a) Seller and Guarantor agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless on a joint and several basis Company and its Affiliates, as well as any of its permitted assignees or transferees hereunder, and the officers, directors, members, employees, representatives, shareholders and agents of such entities (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions, liability, judgments, damages, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (“Losses”), that arise from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its agents or contractors (other than Company) in connection with Seller’s performance of its obligations under, or alleged breach of, this Agreement; (ii) Seller’s, or its agents’ or contractors’ (other than Company) breach of any of Seller’s covenants, obligations, representations, warranties or undertakings under this Agreement; (iii) Seller’s, or its agents or contractors’ (other than Company) violation of Applicable Law (other than any violation of Applicable Law resulting from the activities of Company, or the failure of Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement); or (iv) third party claims relating to unauthorized release of or access to non-public customer and consumer information and any other confidential and proprietary consumer or customer information involving the systems or data of Seller (or its agents or service providers), in each case, to the extent within Seller’s (or its agents’ or service providers’) control or possession and caused by an act or omission of Seller.

(b) Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, as well as any of its permitted assignees or transferees hereunder, and the officers, directors, members, employees, representatives, shareholders and agents of such entities (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses, that arise from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Company, or its agents or contractors in connection with Company’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) breach or alleged breach by Company or its agents or contractors, of any of Company’s covenants, obligations, representations, warranties or undertakings under this Agreement; or (iii) a violation by Company, or its agents or contractors of any Applicable Law in connection with Company fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement (other than any violation of Applicable Law resulting from the activities of Seller, or the failure of Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement) or (iv) third party claims relating to unauthorized release of or access to non-public customer and consumer information and any other confidential and proprietary consumer or customer information involving the systems or data of Company (or its agents or service providers), in each case, to the extent within Company’s (or its agents’ or service providers’) control or possession and caused by an act or omission of Company.

(c) The Company Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties are sometimes referred to herein as the “Indemnified Parties,” and Company or Seller, as indemnitor hereunder, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(d) Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly 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.

(e) 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. The Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) days after receipt of any notification of an Indemnifiable Claim (a “Claim Notice”) to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, and, at its own expense, 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 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); provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be borne by the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise any Indemnifiable Claim solely for the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be released and fully indemnified hereunder, but shall not agree to any other settlement or compromise without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. So long as the Indemnifying Party is vigorously 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.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense of any such Indemnifiable Claim if: (a) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Indemnifiable Claim or acknowledge in writing that it will assume the defense of such Indemnifiable Claim within twenty (20) days of receipt of the applicable Claim Notice or thereafter fails to contest such Indemnifiable Claim; (b) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines (at any time while the Indemnifiable Claim is pending) based upon advice of counsel that there are issues which could raise possible conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or that the Indemnified Party has claims or defenses that are separate from or in addition to the claim or defenses of the Indemnifying Party; (c) such Indemnifiable Claim seeks an injunction, cease and desist order, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the ongoing business of the Indemnified Party; or (d) such Indemnifiable Claim arises out of or is related to any investigation or proceeding of a Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over the Indemnified Party. In each such case described in clauses (a) – (d) above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim and retain its own counsel and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable cost of such defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of one law firm, and shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim, on a non-controlling basis, at its expense with counsel of its own choosing. In such event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, upon notice 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 of 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 22.

(g) After (i) any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a governmental authority and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, (ii) a settlement shall have been consummated or (iii) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to any matter for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification from the Indemnifying Party hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer, certified or bank cashier’s check within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice; provided that in the event the Indemnifying Party does not make such payment by such date, the sums due and owing to the Indemnified Party shall include interest thereon, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate from the date (and applying the Prime Rate as of such date) on which the Indemnified Party delivered the applicable notice to the Indemnifying Party and to the date of payment.

(h) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a third party Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the identity, nature and estimated amount of Losses related to such claim or claims, with reasonable promptness and in any event prior to the expiration of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such notice, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute for a period of at least thirty (30) days. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party for the amount of the claim described in such notice and all or any part of such amount is subsequently determined in any settlement or final resolution to be owed to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly, upon such settlement or resolution, pay such amount, together with interest thereon, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate from the date (and applying the Prime Rate as of such date) on which the claim was finally settled or resolved to the date of payment.

(i) Except with respect to the right of either Party to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, the foregoing indemnification provisions shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of each Party and their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders and representatives for Losses.

(j) Any Losses under this Section 22 shall be determined after giving effect to any actual cash payments, setoffs or recoupment of any payments in each case actually received, realized or retained by an Indemnified Party as a result of any event giving rise to a claim for such indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have no duty or obligation to mitigate any damages incurred in connection with this Agreement except as required by Applicable Law; provided, however, that in no event shall Company have any obligation to pursue any legal action or litigation in connection with any such mitigation obligations.

23.

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; provided that, no consent shall be required in the event of an assignment or transfer to any assignee or transferee in connection with any Financing under Section 16 or Section 15(b)(iii)(E). Upon any such assignment or transfer, such assignee or transferee shall succeed to all rights and obligations of Company under this Agreement to the extent of the related Receivables and this Agreement. To the extent of the related Receivables, this Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct agreement between Seller and such assignee or Affiliate, and a separate and distinct agreement between Seller and Company. Any Party or its successor or permitted assign hereunder that has dissolved, terminated or otherwise ceased to exist shall have no further rights under this Agreement.

24.	No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the Indemnified Parties with respect to indemnity claims pursuant to Section 22, nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating a third party beneficiary relationship between either Party and any other Person.

25.

Proprietary Materials. Seller hereby provides Company with a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-assignable (except as set forth in Section 23 and except as Company may assign this right to a servicer of the Accounts for the purposes of performing under this Agreement or the Company Servicing Agreement) license to use and reproduce Seller’s name, logo, registered trademarks and service marks on periodic statements, disclosures, agreements and as otherwise necessary to fulfill each Party’s obligations under this Agreement or to allow Genesis (or any successor servicer) to perform pursuant to the Company Servicing Agreement (collectively “Proprietary Material”); provided, however, that (a) Company shall obtain Seller’s prior written approval upon the initial use of Proprietary Material and such use shall at all times comply with written instructions provided by Seller at any time regarding the use of such Proprietary Material; provided that, such instructions shall not interfere with Company’s ability to collect the Receivables, or communicate with related Borrowers with respect thereto, and (b) Company acknowledges that, except as specifically provided in this Agreement it will acquire no interest in Seller’s Proprietary Material. Upon termination of this Agreement, Company will cease using the Proprietary Material of Seller, except as necessary to collect the Receivables or communicate with Borrowers regarding their Receivables and the related Accounts.

26.

Notices. All notices and other communications, including consents and approvals, that are required or may be given in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed received when (a) delivered by hand; (b) on the day transmitted if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail with receipt confirmed; or (c) three (3) Business Days after the date of mailing to the other party first-class mail postage prepaid, at the following address, or such other address as either Party shall specify in a notice to the other:

Relationship of Parties. Sterling, Zale and Company 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 venture or any association for profit between and among the Parties.

28.	Access to and Retention of Records. Any Records with respect to Receivables purchased by Company pursuant hereto shall be held by Company or the servicer of the Accounts as custodian for the account of Seller as owner of such Accounts and Company as owner of the Receivables.

29.

Force Majeure. In addition to the termination rights provided in Section 18, 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 one (1) month after the date of such cause, either Party not so affected may at any time after the expiration of such one (1) month 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. 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 acts of God, acts of governmental authorities, acts of terrorism, 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 therefor; provided that a “Force Majeure Event” shall not include general economic conditions or other general market effects resulting in financial hardship for such Party. 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.

30.

Expenses. Each Party shall bear the costs and expenses of performing its obligations under this Agreement. 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.

31.

Inspection and Audit. Solely for purposes of establishing compliance with the terms of this Agreement, each Party, upon reasonable prior notice from the other Party, agrees to submit, no more than two (2) times per year, to an inspection and audit of its books, records, accounts, and facilities, including account level transaction testing, relevant to this Agreement, during regular business hours subject to third party contractual obligations and under Applicable Law.

32.	Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity and performance, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made to be performed within such State.

(b) THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING HEREUNDER.

33.

Manner of Payments. Except as provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by wire or other transfer in immediately available funds to the bank accounts designated by the respective Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall fail to make any payment required of it under this Agreement as a result of a breach or alleged breach by the other Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement; provided that, the making of any payment hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by the Party making payment of any rights it may have under Applicable Law.

34.

Brokers. Neither Party has agreed to pay any fee or commission to any agent, broker, finder, or other person for or on account of services rendered as a broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that would give rise to any valid claim against the other Party for any brokerage commission or finder’s fee or like payment.

35.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, including exhibits, schedules and appendices, 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.

36.

Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended orally, but only by a written instrument signed by all Parties. The failure of any Party to require the performance of any term of this Agreement or the waiver by any 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.

37.

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.

38.

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.

39.	Headings. Captions and headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, and are not to be deemed part of this Agreement.

40.

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.

41.

Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT, EXCEPT FOR FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR ANY INTENTIONAL OR WILLFUL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PRINCIPLES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY IS ENTITLED TO BE INDEMNIFIED PURSUANT TO SECTION 22.

42.	Financial Information. Company shall deliver such financial statements and other financial information as Seller may reasonably request from time to time so as to evidence compliance with Section 18(c)(i), within a reasonable period of time following such request.

43.	Repurchase Guaranty.

(a) Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Company and its permitted successors and assigns the due and punctual payment of Seller’s repurchase, indemnity, and payment obligations under this Agreement (such obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Such guaranty is a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection.

(b) The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor under this Section 43, shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense (other than the defense of payment) of Guarantor against Company or Seller, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions relating to the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.

(c) In the event that, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Company must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Company in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Company in its discretion), as set forth herein, all obligations under this Section 43 shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time and remain in full force and effect and any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Agreement given to Guarantor shall be without effect. It is the intention of Company and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by its performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

(d) (****).

44.

Legal Title. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that legal title to each Receivable purchased by Company shall be held by, and in the name of, “Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of CVI SGP Acquisition Trust”. Seller shall cause its books and records to reflect that record title to each such Receivable, as of the applicable Closing Date, has been vested in the name of “Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of CVI SGP Acquisition Trust”.

45.

Series. The Company is a series trust pursuant to Sections 3804(a) and 3806(b)(2) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, 12 Del. C. § 3801 et seq., and enters into this Agreement with respect to each Series that may be established from time to time. Accordingly, the obligations of Company set forth in this Agreement are limited obligations with respect to only the assets assigned to applicable Series and the Parties hereto hereby agree and confirm that all liabilities and obligations owed to any Party or other Person under this Agreement by Company are owed separately with respect to the applicable Series and are payable from and enforceable against the assets allocated to the respective Series only and not against the assets of Company generally or the assets of any other Series of Company.

46.

Trustee Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, a federal savings bank, not individually or personally, but solely as Trustee of Company, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the Trust Agreement, (b) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of Company is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB but is made and intended for the purpose for binding only Company, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either express or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (d) Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations and warranties made by Company in this Agreement, and (e) under no circumstances shall Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of Company or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by Company under this Agreement or any related documents.

47.	Joint and Several Liability.

(a) Sterling and Xxxx hereby agree that they will be jointly and severally liable for all covenants, agreements, obligations and representations made by any of them in this Agreement.

(b) Whenever this Agreement requires Seller to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of any of Sterling or Xxxx to take such action and a guarantee of the payment and performance thereof.

(c) Unless otherwise stated, any negotiation, consent, discretion, election or any other action taken by Sterling in the execution of this Agreement and performance of the obligations of Seller hereunder shall be binding on Xxxx. For the avoidance of doubt, Sterling shall have sole authority to act as Seller under Sections 4(f), 8(p), 18 and 19 and any actions with respect thereto shall be binding on Xxxx.

(d) Unless otherwise stated, the defined term “Seller” shall refer to Sterling and, only with respect matters involving Xxxx Receivables, Xxxx.

When you sign the Application for this Account, you will be agreeing to everything written here. Therefore, before you sign the Application, you should read this entire Agreement. The information you provide on the Application that identifies you is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. This Agreement will not be effective unless and until we approve your Application. 2. Balances: Each transaction or group of transactions subject to the same terms (such as the applicable APR and duration) shall be considered part of the same balance. The balance subject to the Regular APR and the other regular terms set forth in this Agreement is your Account’s regular balance. We calculate your total regular balance each billing cycle by taking the regular balance for the prior billing cycle, adding any regular purchases, fees, Interest Charges, other finance charges, and other debits, and subtracting any payments or other credits, as of the closing date for that billing cycle. Balances subject to promotional terms are promotional balances. We calculate the total of any promotional balance by adding the promotional purchase for that balance and subtracting any payments allocated to that promotional balance or other credits. You authorize us to allocate any payment or credit among your regular and promotional balances, in any manner, including in a manner that may be beneficial to us, except where otherwise prohibited by applicable law. The total of your regular balance and any promotional balances is the “New Balance” shownon your statement. 3. Your Regular Annual Percentage Rate: If Interest Charges (which are FINANCE CHARGES) are assessed during a billing cycle, we will use the following Annual Percentage Rate (the “Regular APR”) and corresponding monthly periodic rate, subject to any promotional terms: Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: The costs associated with credit insurance premiums; fees for ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than certain application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account).To receive this disclosure and a description of your payment obligation under this agreement orally, please call 0-000-000-0000. 4. How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases: Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you Interest in any billing cycle in which payments received (and if required by law, credits issued) by the due date equal or exceed the New Balance, including any promotional plan balances, shown on your billing statement. 5. Calculation of Interest: In all states except MN and NM, we calculate Interest Charges using the average daily balance method (including current transactions). In MN and NM, we calculate Interest Charges using the average daily balance method (excluding current transactions). We calculateInterest separately for each balance on your Account subject to different terms (including APR and duration). We figure the Interest Charges by applying the applicable monthly periodic rate to the “average daily balance” for that balance. To get the average daily balance for a balance, we take the beginning balance each day, add any new transactions (except we do not add in any new transactions in MN and NM); subtract any payments or credits and any Late Payment Fees, any Returned Payment Fees, and/or unpaid Interest Charges; and make other adjustments. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the average daily balance. Any negative daily balance will be treated as zero. If Interest Charges are imposed and the total Interest that results from application of the above calculation to each balance is less than $1.00, we will impose a minimum Interest Charge of $1.00 (which is a FINANCE CHARGE); except in MI, MO, NY, TN, and TX, where we will impose a minimum Interest Charge of $0.70 (which is a FINANCE CHARGE); and in AL, AZ, CO, IN, ME, MA, MN, MS, MT, NJ, OK, SC, SD, VT, WV, and WY, where we will impose a minimum Interest Charge of $0.50 (which is a FINANCE CHARGE). Furthermore, there is no minimum Interest Charge in AR, DC, IA, MD, NE, NM, NC, and RI. You authorize us to round any calculation used to determine Interest Charges, including rounding that may cause minor variations in our favor. The applicable monthly periodic rate for a balance is the applicable Annual Percentage Rate divided by twelve (12), and rounded to the fourth decimal place. 6. Minimum Payment: You agree to pay at least the “Minimum Payment” shown on your billing statement on or before its due date. Your total Minimum Payment is the sum of any minimum payment for your regular balance and for any promotional balance. The minimum payment for your regular balance will be the greater of 5% of the regular purchase

balance(s), or $30. The minimum payment for your regular balance will never exceed the Regular Balance. If your billing statement shows a promotional balance (such as a “No Interest” balance, a “Reduced Interest Rate” balance, and/or an “Eighteen (18) Month” balance), the minimum payment for this balance shall be calculated as specified in Paragraph 7. There shall be no separate, additional minimum payment component for a non-regular, non-promotional balance unless we provide you notice of such a requirement. 7. Promotional Terms: At our sole discretion, we may offer you promotional terms for a new purchase or for an existing balance. Any promotion will be subject to the terms of the promotional offer and this Agreement. Below is a description of some of the promotional terms that we may offer in our sole discretion from time to time. No Interest If Paid in Full Plans. If any single purchase is designated as purchased under a no interest if paid in full plan, you will pay no Interest on that balance if the promotional purchase is paid in full in the designated promotional time period (which may be 6 months, 12 months, or another period specified in the promotion). If the promotional purchase balance is not paid in full by the end of the designated promotional period, or if we do not receive a required minimum payment within 60 days of its due date, Interest will be charged to your account at the Regular APR from the promotional purchase date. Unless the promotion states that there is no separate promotional minimum payment, the required minimum payment for the promotional balance will be the amount of the promotional purchase divided by the promotional period, rounded up to the nearest $5.00 increment. However, if the promotion specifies a minimum purchase amount, in no case will the minimum payment be less than the minimum purchase amount divided by the promotional period, which may shorten your repayment period in certain instances. The minimum payment will never be more than the remaining promotional purchase balance. If the promotion states that there is no separate promotional minimum payment, then the amount of the promotional balance will be included in your regular balance for the purpose of calculating your minimum payment. Reduced Rate Plans. If any single purchase is designated as purchased under a reduced rate plan, we will calculate the Interest for the promotional balance by using an APR that is less than your Regular APR (the “Promotional APR”), in lieu of the Regular APR during the specified promotional period (which may be 6 months, 12 months, or some other period specified by us). The Promotional APR will return to your Regular APR at the expiration of the promotional period or if we do not receive a required minimum payment within 60 days of its due date. See Paragraph 3 for details. Unless the promotion states that there is no separate promotional minimum payment, the required minimum payment for the promotional balance will be the promotional balance divided by the number of months in the promotional period, multiplied by a factor based on the applicable Reduced APR, and rounded up to the nearest $5.00 increment or $30.00, whichever is greater. For example, if the promotion has an interest rate of 10.99% and the plan is for 24 months, the required minimum payment is determined as follows: 1/24th of the purchase price (less any down payment) multiplied by 1.1185 and rounded up to the nearest $5.00 (or $30.00, whichever is greater). The minimum payment will never be more than the remaining promotional purchase balance. However, if the promotion specifies a minimum purchase amount, in no case will the minimum payment be less than the minimum purchase amount divided by the promotional period, which may shorten your repayment period in certain instances. The minimum payment will never be more than the remaining promotional purchase balance. Eighteen (18) Month Plan. If any single purchase is designated as purchased under the “Eighteen Month Plan”, no Interest will be imposed on the promotional purchase for the first twelve (12) months if you make all required minimum payments by the end of the 12th month. If we do not receive all required minimum payments by the end of the 12th month, or if we do not receive a required minimum payment within 60 days of its due date, Interest will be charged to your account at the Regular APR from the promotional purchase date. After the first twelve (12) months, we will use the specified reduced APR (the “Promotional APR”), in lieu of the Regular APR, to calculate Interest for the next six (6) months. The Promotional APR will return to your Regular APR at the expiration of the six month period or if we do not receive a required minimum payment within 60 days of its due date. See Paragraph 3 for details. The required minimum payment for the promotional balance will be 1/18th of the promotional purchase multiplied by 1.030 and rounded up to the nearest $5.00, but not less than $150.00 or not less than $250.00, based on the terms of the offer. 8. Payments: All payments must be mailed or delivered to us at the address shown on the front of the billing statement and accompanied by the payment slip. You must pay us in U.S. dollars drawn on funds on deposit in the United States using a check or similar instrument that will be processed and honored by your bank. Do not send cash payments. We can accept late or partial payments, as well as payments that reflect “paid in full” or other restrictive endorsements, without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. We credit your payments in accordance with our payment instructions on the billing statement. 9. Legal Notices: All notices, including notices relating to legal actions, bankruptcy notices, and any notice to us that you are represented by counsel in connection with your debt to us, must be sent to us at Genesis FS Card Services, X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000. If these notices are sent to any other address, it will not satisfy any notice requirement under this Agreement or any other legal requirement that you provide notice to us. 10. Arbitration for Disputes – No Jury Trials or Class Actions: This paragraph describes how all Claims (as defined in subparagraph A below) will be arbitrated, at the election of you or us, on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis instead of litigated in court. If you are a “Covered Borrower” as determined in accordance with the safe harbor provisions in the Military Lending Act and its implementing regulations, you are not required to submit to arbitration. A. The term “Claim” means any claim, dispute, or controversy between you and us arising from or relating to your Card, your Account, 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 Agreement. Claims arising in the past, present, or future, including Claims arising before the opening of your Account, are subject to arbitration. “Claim” includes, without limitation, claims that arise from or relate to any application for your Account or any advertisements, promotions, or statements related to your Account or goods or services that may be financed in connection with your Account. For purposes of this arbitration provision, “you” and “us” also includes any corporate affiliates, any licensees, predecessors, successors, assigns, any purchaser of any accounts, all agents, employees, directors and representatives of any of the foregoing, and other persons referred to below in the definition of “Claims”. “Claim” includes claims of every kind and nature, including but not limited to initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, and claims based upon contract, tort, fraud, and other intentional torts, statutes, regulations, common law, and equity. Claims and remedies sought as part of a class action, private attorney general action, or other representative action are subject to arbitration on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis, and the arbitrator may award relief only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. “Claim” also includes claims by or against any third party relating to or arising from your Card, your Account, or this Agreement. The term “Claim” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. “Administrator” means the American Arbitration Association, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, xxx.xxx.xxx, (000) 000-0000; or JAMS, 0000 Xxxx Xx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx, (000) 000-0000. B. We OR you have the right to require that each Claim be resolved by arbitration on an individual (non-class, nonrepresentative) basis. A Claim will be arbitrated if (1) both we and you or (2) only one or the other of we or you, exercise the right to require that the Claim be arbitrated. If, for example, we exercise our right to require that the Claim be resolved by arbitration but you do not also exercise your right to require that the Claim be arbitrated, the Claim will be resolved by arbitration. If neither we nor you request arbitration, the Claim will not be resolved by arbitration and instead will be litigated in court. We will not elect arbitration for any Claim you file in small claims court, so long as the Claim is individual and pending only in that court. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve Claims is limited to Claims between you and us alone, and the arbitrator’s authority to make awards or decisions is limited to you and us alone. Furthermore, Claims between you and us 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. However, applicants, co-applicants, authorized users on a single Account, or corporate affiliates are considered one person for the purposes of this paragraph. No arbitration award will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.). C. If we or you request arbitration of a Claim, we and you will not have the right to litigate the Claim in court. This means (1) there will be no jury trial on the Claim, (2) there will be no pre-arbitration discovery except as the Administrator’s rules permit, and (3) no Claim may be arbitrated on a class-action, private attorney general, or other representative basis, and neither we nor you will have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class or group of claimants pertaining to any Claim subject to arbitration. We or you may elect to arbitrate any Claim at any time unless it has been filed in court and trial has begun or final judgment has been entered. D. The party initiating an arbitration shall select an Administrator from the organizations listed above. If none of the Administrators listed above will accept the arbitration, the arbitration will be administered by an administrator, or adjudicated by an arbitrator, upon which you and we agree in writing. The arbitration shall be governed by the procedures and rules of the Administrator and this Agreement, which need not apply federal, state or local rules of procedure and evidence. The Administrator’s procedures and rules may limit the discovery available to you or us. You can obtain a copy of an Administrator’s procedures and rules by contacting the Administrator. A single, neutral arbitrator will resolve Claims. The arbitrator will be either a lawyer with at least ten years experience or a retired or former judge, selected in accordance with the rules of the Administrator. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this arbitration provision and the Administrator’s rules or other provisions of this Agreement, this arbitration provision will govern. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential information if requested to do so by you or us. Arbitration hearings for Claims by or against you will take place in the federal judicial district in which you reside. If you make a request to us in writing, we will temporarily advance to you the filing, administrative, and hearing fees for the arbitration of your Claim against us (but not if the Claim is against you) in excess of any filing fee you would have been required to pay to file the Claim in a state or federal court (whichever is less) in the judicial district in which you reside. At the end of the arbitration, the arbitrator will decide if you have to repay the advance (and if you do have to repay, you agree to do so). Unless applicable law requires otherwise, we will pay our, and you will pay your, lawyers’, experts’, and witnesses’ fees. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, will honor claims of privilege recognized at law, and will have the power to award to a party any damages or other relief provided for under applicable law. The arbitrator will make any award in writing and, if requested by you or us, will provide a brief statement of the reasons for the award. E. Judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision regarding any claims will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under FAA. The appealing party will pay the appeal costs. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive any suspension, termination, revocation or closure of the Agreement or your Account, and any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. F. If any part of this arbitration provision cannot be enforced, the rest of the arbitration provision will continue to apply.

However, an arbitrator cannot enlarge his or her authority over the adjudication of Claims beyond that provided by this arbitration provision by enforcing only part of this arbitration provision. If an arbitrator determines that applicable law requires this arbitration provision to be enforced in a way that would result in greater authority over Claims than otherwise allowed, such as the adjudication of claims on a class or representative basis, then the arbitrator must decline to hear the dispute and shall refer the parties to a court or other body with sufficient authority. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this arbitration provision and the Administrator’s rules or other provisions of this Agreement, this arbitration provision will govern. 11. Fees: A. Returned Payment Fee: If any check, instrument, or electronic authorization used to pay us is not honored upon first presentment, (for residents of MD, second presentment), even if the check, instrument or electronic authorization is later honored, we may charge you a Returned Payment Fee. Except as set forth for specified states below, this fee is up to $37.00. The fee charged generally will be the highest amount permitted by law, subject to the specified maximum. This means that the fee generally will not exceed the amount of the required minimum payment due immediately prior to the date on which the payment is returned. In addition, the first time you make a payment that is returned, the fee will not exceed $27.00. If you make another payment that is returned during the next six billing cycles, the fee will not exceed $37.00. We will add any Returned Payment Fee to your Account’s regular balance. B. Late Payment Fee: If we do not receive your minimum payment by its due date (or within seven (7) days in VA; within ten (10) days in AL, AZ, CO, DC, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MI, MN, MO, MT, NE, NJ, NY, OK, SC, WV, and WY; within fifteen (15) days in CA, ME, and MA; within twentyone (21) days in TX; within thirty (30) days in NC; and within forty (40) days in RI), we will impose a Late Payment Fee. The maximum fee is set forth below. The fee charged generally will be the highest amount permitted by law. This means that the fee generally will not exceed the amount of the required minimum payment due immediately prior to the assessment of the fee. In addition, the first time you pay late, the fee will not exceed $27.00. If you pay late again during the next six billing cycles, the fee will not exceed $37.00. We will add any Late Payment Fee to your Account’s regular balance. 12. Security Interest: You grant us a purchase money security interest in each item of merchandise purchased on your Account to secure its unpaid purchase price (except in CT, MO (on any purchase under $150.00), and NY (on any purchase under $200.00)) until such item of merchandise is paid for in full (in NY, not to exceed five (5) years from date the purchase is posted to your Account). Solely for the purpose of determining the extent of our purchase money security interest in each such item of merchandise, your payments will be allocated first to any unpaid insurance premium, next to any unpaid Late Payment Fees, any unpaid Returned Payment Fees, any unpaid Interest, and any other unpaid fees or charges, then to pay off each purchase in the order in which the purchase was made. 13. Default/Collection Costs: If you fail to pay any minimum payment when due, or if the prospect of payment, performance, or realization of collateral is significantly impaired, to the extent permitted by applicable law it will be a default, and, subject to any right you may have under state law to receive notice of and to cure such default, we may declare the entire unpaid balance on the Account due and payable (except in WI you will not be in default until you fail to make a minimum payment on two occasions within a twelve (12) month period). We also may repossess any article of merchandise in which we still retain a security interest, but we will do so only in the manner and to the extent permitted by applicable law. If the Account is referred to an attorney who is not our salaried employee and we bring a suit against you to collect the amount you owe, in addition to the full amount owed and any court costs, you agree to pay our reasonable attorney’s fees to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notice to New Hampshire Residents: We will pay your reasonable attorney’s fees if you prevail in a suit we bring against you or if you prevail in a suit you bring against us under this Agreement. If you successfully assert a partial defense or counterclaim, the court may withhold part or all of any attorney’s fees to which we may be entitled. 14. Down Payments, Limiting Your Credit, or Closing Your Account: You have the right to close your Account at any time, for any reason. You will still be liable for any balances owed. We may limit or terminate the use of your Account and/or raise or lower your credit limit at any time and for any reason without advance notice to you. On some transactions, we may require a down payment. Some purchases will require our prior authorization, in which case you may be asked to provide identification. If our authorization system is not working, we may not be able to authorize a transaction, even if you have sufficient available credit. We will not be liable to you if this happens. We are not responsible for the refusal of anyone to accept or honor a Card associated with this Account. All Cards we issue remain our property and, if requested, you agree to return any Card issued to you. We may, at our discretion, permit you to make a purchase in excess of your stated credit limit. If we do so, this will not permanently increase your credit limit. To request the names of our related brand jewelers, please call Customer Service at 0-000-000-0000.

15. Change in This Agreement: To the extent permitted by law, we may change any term of this Agreement, including any Annual Percentage Rate or fee, as well as add and/or subtract terms. We will furnish you notice of the change to the extent required by law. If permitted by applicable law, any new terms may at our option be applied to any balance existing on the Account at the time of change, as well as to any subsequent transactions. 16. Credit Investigation: You authorize us to investigate your credit history by obtaining consumer reports and by making direct inquiries of businesses where you have accounts and where you work. We may request a consumer report from consumer reporting agencies in considering your application for this Account or any other account you have with us and later in connection with an update, renewal, extension of credit or collection of the Account or any other account you have with us. Upon your request we will disclose whether a consumer report was requested and the name and address of any consumer reporting agency that furnished the report. We may report information about your Account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your Account may be reflected on your credit report. If you believe that we have reported inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency, write to us at Genesis FS Card Services, X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000 and we will investigate the matter. 17. No Waiver by Us: We may, without notice to you, delay or refrain from enforcing our rights under this Agreement without losing them (e.g., we may extend the time to make some payments without extending the time to make other payments, accept late or partial payments without waiving our right to have future payments made when they are due, and/or waive any charge or fee without losing our right to impose that charge or fee when it is due under this Agreement). 18. Customer Communications: You agree that your calls with us may be monitored and/or recorded and that we (or anyone acting on our behalf) may contact you from time to time regarding your Account (including for collections purposes). You further agree that all of our contacts with you may be made via email, text messages or with an automated dialing and announcing or similar device and/or an artificial voice or prerecorded message.

If we receive notice of a change in your billing address, except for any Annual Percentage Rate (and corresponding monthly periodic rate) applicable to any outstanding balance, the terms applicable to the state of your new billing address will apply to all balances on your Account after we receive written notice of your new address. Any Annual Percentage Rate (and corresponding monthly periodic rate) applicable to a balance outstanding prior to notification of a change in billing address will continue to apply to such balance until it is paid off. 20. Change of Address or Other Contact Information: You agree to notify us promptly in writing of any changes to your billing address, phone number, email address, and other contact information.

You must contact us: • Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement. • At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong. 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: 1. 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. 2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the xxxx is correct. While we investigate whether or not there has been an error: • 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 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 xxxx 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 your xxxx. 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 the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50.00 of the amount you question even if your xxxx 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: 1. 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 $50.00. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own or operate the company that sold you the goods or services.) 2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify. 3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase. If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at the address listed above. While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you of our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent. Rev. 10/17FACTS WHAT DOES XXX® JEWELERS AND XXX® JEWELERS OUTLET DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
