WORLD FINANCIAL CAPITAL BANK
BLAIR CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT
This is your Agreement with World Financial Capital Bank for customers of Blair Corporation. It covers the use of your credit card account with us. This Agreement may include information about promotional Credit Plans. Any information about such Plans will be included in the form of an insert, attachment, or other written information provided as part of or with this Agreement. Please read this Agreement and keep it for your records.

1. DEFINITIONS. In this Agreement, We, Us, and Our mean World Financial Capital Bank. You and Your mean each person who signs an application for, or otherwise requests, a credit card account with us. Account means your credit card account with us. Card means each credit card we issue to you for your Account. Credit Plan means one or more payment program options that Blair may ask us to offer from time to time. You agree that at any time for any reason we may reissue a Card to you and/or may ask you to return any or all Cards.

2. YOUR PROMISE TO US.
A. You agree to the terms of this Agreement. You promise to do everything this Agreement requires of you. You will be legally bound by this Agreement if you sign an application to obtain credit from us, or if you sign a charge slip, or if you use or permit someone else to use the credit provided.
B. If the Account is a joint Account, you and the joint Account holder each will be bound by this Agreement and each of you will be jointly and individually responsible for repaying all amounts due under this Agreement.
C. Any authorized user of your Account will, by such use of the Account, be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you want to cancel the authorized or permitted use of your Account by another person, you may either write us at the address or call us at the telephone number shown on your Statement. You must obtain, cut in half and return the Card in such authorized users possession to us. You understand and agree that we will be unable to determine whether any particular transaction on your Account has been conducted by you, your joint Account holder or the authorized user or if the transaction by the authorized user was indeed authorized by you or made for your benefit. You agree to pay for all transactions made on your Account by an authorized user whether or not such transactions were in fact duly authorized by you or made for your benefit.
D. If you fail to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, we may declare all amounts you owe to be immediately due and payable, prohibit further transactions on your Account, cancel the Cards, and revoke any privileges associated with the Card or your Account.

3. SIGN THE CARD. For your own protection, please sign the Card before using it. Your signature on the Card is not a prerequisite to your obligation to pay amounts incurred on your Account.

4. METHOD OF PAYMENT. You may pay your Account by sending your personal check, payable in U.S. dollars, to the name and address shown on your Statement. Payments are considered received when posted to your Account in Ohio. You must include your payment stub. Do not send cash. If any payment does not conform to these requirements, the payment may not be credited to your Account for up to five days, or may be rejected. Any check marked "payment in full" or with similar terms must be sent to a separate address specified on your Statement. We can accept such checks or late or partial payments without losing our right to receive the full amount owing on your Account.

5. LOST OR STOLEN CARD. If a Card is lost or stolen, you must tell us at once. You must also tell us at once if you think someone used a Card without your permission. You may either write us a letter or call us at the address and phone number shown on your Statement. Until you do, you may have to pay (up to $50.00) for purchases made by anyone who used the Card without your permission.

6. CREDIT PLANS. Your Account may consist of a non-promotional Credit Plan and one or more promotional Credit Plans. We may offer different promotional Credit Plans from time to time. If a promotional Credit Plan is offered at the time you open your account, this Agreement will include information about the terms for the Plan (which may include the Daily Periodic Rate, the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE, and/or the minimum payment amount), by use of an insert, attachment, or other written information provided as part of or with this Agreement. Normal late payment charges, returned check charges and all other provisions apply to any promotional Credit Plan unless inconsistent with a particular Credit Plan offering. The promotional Credit Plan period will end and the promotional Credit Plan balance will be transferred to your non-promotional Regular Revolving balance if any of the following occurs:
1. The promotional Credit Plan purchase is not paid in full before the promotional period ends;
2. For any Plan in which payments are required, if you fail to pay, when required, two consecutive Regular Revolving and /or required promotional plan payments;
3. For any Plan in which payments are not required, if you fail to pay, when due, three consecutive Regular Revolving payments and / or required promotional plan payments;
4. You do not comply with the terms of this Agreement. (Please also see the Penalty Rate section of this Agreement for additional terms related to missed payments.)
The types of Credit Plans offered and the particular features (including but not limited to minimum purchase requirements, Minimum Payment, etc.) of such Credit Plans may vary from time to time at our discretion and may include one or more of the following: Regular Revolving or Promotional Credit Plans. The Regular Revolving Credit Plans are your non-promotional purchases using the Card. The Promotional Credit Plans may include: Waive Interest, Payment Required; Waive Interest, Equal Payment; Waive Interest, Defer Payment; Defer Interest and Payment; Defer Interest, Equal Payment; Defer Interest, Payment Required. (Please see section 14 for explanation for how Finance Charges are calculated for each Plan.)

7. SKIP-PAYMENT OPTION. At our sole option, we may allow you to skip making the Minimum Payment on certain Billing Periods. During the skip-payment period Finance Charges will be assessed but no late fee will be imposed. At the end of the skip-payment period, all terms of this Agreement that would have applied, were it not for the skip-payment feature, will automatically resume without notice.

8. CREDIT LIMIT. Your Credit Limit is the total maximum amount we allow you to owe us at any time. You may not exceed any credit limit that we set for your Account. If you do use the Account for more than your Credit Limit, we can still charge you for all purchases, Finance Charges and other charges without giving up any of our rights under this Agreement. We may change your Credit Limit at any time.

9. HOW TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT. You (either of you if more than one) may cancel your Account at any time. Cut each Card in half and send us the pieces with a letter telling us you want to cancel your Account. This includes each Card you gave to others. You still must pay the full amount you owe us.

10. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT. We may cancel your Account at any time for any reason. We also may cancel any of the Credit Plans at any time for any reason. Any Card issued for your Account must be cut in half and the pieces sent to us if we ask. This includes each Card you gave to others. You cannot use a Card after we ask you to return it. You still must pay the full amount you owe us and comply with the terms of this Agreement.

11. PAYMENTS; MINIMUM PAYMENT. You may pay all of your Account balance at any time without penalty. You must pay us at least the Minimum Payment Due for each Billing Period by the Payment Due Date shown on your Statement. Your Statement will tell you how much your Minimum Payment must be. Your Minimum Payment will consist of one or more of the following Plan Minimum Payment. If your Account balance is less than $10.00, you must pay your Account balance in full.

For the Regular Revolving Credit Plans, the Minimum Payment Due will be the Schedule to Pay amount shown on your Statement, which will be the greater of $10.00 or 5% of the New Balance shown on your Statement (rounded to the nearest $1.00) plus any unpaid Late Fees and Returned Check Fees, and any amounts shown as Past Due on your Statement.

If you have a Promotional Credit Plan (as described above in Section 6) balance that requires a payment, the Minimum Payment Due for the Promotional Credit Plan (except for Waive Interest, Equal Payment and Defer Interest, Equal Payment) will be the greater of $10.00 or 5% of the New Balance shown on your Statement (rounded to the nearest $1.00) and will be added into the Schedule to Pay amount.

The minimum payment for the Waive Interest, Equal Payment and Defer Interest, Equal Payment Credit Plans will be the amount of the purchase divided by the number of months between the date of the purchase and the promotional end date (minimum $10.00) rounded up to the nearest dollar.

12. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. You agree that we are authorized to allocate your payments in a way that is most favorable and convenient for us. Depending on how you use your Account, such as when you make payments, the amount of your payments and the types of transactions you make, the particular payment allocation method that we use may result in higher amounts of Finance Charges on your Account.

13. STATEMENTS; BILLING PERIODS. If your Account has a balance, we will send you a Statement at the end of each Billing Period. We send only one Statement for your Account. The Statement will show your: Statement Closing Date, Previous Balance, Payments and Credits, Charges, Finance Charge, Payment Due Date, New Balance and Minimum Payment. Billing Period means the days between the closing date shown on the last Statement we sent you and the closing date on your current Statement. We may change your Billing Period as permitted by law at any time for our own convenience.

14. FINANCE CHARGES.
a. If you make a purchase under a Regular Revolving Credit Plan, no Finance Charges will be imposed in any Billing Period in which (i) there is no Previous Balance or (ii) payments received and credits issued by the Payment Due Date, which is 25 days after the Statement Closing Date shown on your last Statement, equal or exceed the Previous Balance. If the New Balance is not satisfied in full by the Payment Due Date shown on your last Statement, there will be a Finance Charge on each purchase from the date of purchase.
b. If you make a purchase under any of the following Promotional Credit Plans: Waive Interest, Payment Required; Waive Interest, Equal Payment and Waive Interest, Defer Payment, we will not charge Finance Charges on the purchase if you pay the total amount of the purchase before the end of the promotional period. If you do not pay the total amount of the purchase before the end of the promotional period we will add the amount of the purchase to your Regular Revolving balance and will begin to charge Finance Charges on the purchase from the first day after the promotional period ends. For any Waive Interest Plan that ends due to one of the reasons listed in Section 6, we will add the remaining amount of the plan to your Regular Revolving balance and will begin to charge Finance Charges.
If you make a purchase under a Defer Interest, Payment Required; Defer Interest, Equal Payment or Defer Interest and Payment Credit Plan, we will add the amount of Finance Charges that have accrued from the date of purchase through and including the last day of the promotional period to your Regular Revolving balance if you do not pay the total amount of the purchase before the end of the promotional period. For any Defer Interest Plan that ends due to one of the reasons listed in Section 6, we will add the remaining amount of the plan and the amount of Finance Charges that have accrued from the date of purchase through and including the last day of the promotional period to your Regular Revolving balance (Please also see the Penalty Rate section of this Agreement for additional terms related to missed payments.)
c. We figure Finance Charges on your Account separately for each Credit Plan. For each Billing Period, we use a "Daily Balance" to figure Finance Charges on your Account. This is how we figure the "Daily Balance" each day:
i. We start with the beginning balance on your Account each day (including unpaid Finance Charges and fees).
ii. We subtract any payments or credit adjustments and add any new purchases and debit adjustments posted as of that day. This gives us the "Partial Daily Balance" for the day.
iii. We then multiply the Partial Daily Balance for the day by the Daily Periodic Rate of Finance Charge to obtain the "Daily Finance Charge" for the day and add it to the day's Partial Daily Balance. This gives us the "Daily Balance", which will be the beginning balance for the following day. At the end of each Billing Period, we add together each Credit Plan's Daily Finance Charge for each day in the Billing Period to get the total Account Finance Charge for the Billing Period. Your Statement will show an Average Daily Balance, which is the sum of the Daily Balance for each day in the Billing Period divided by the number of days in the Billing Period.
d. The Daily Periodic Rate of FINANCE CHARGE applicable to your Account will be computed by adding 18.25% to the value of an "Index," and dividing by 365 (The corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will be the Index plus 18.25%). The Index in effect for each Billing Period shall be the highest "Prime Rate" of interest as published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal for the calendar month preceding the month in which the Billing Period begins, rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest .001% ("Index"). The corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will not decrease below 24.80% nor increase above 29.9%. An increase or decrease in the Annual Percentage Rate will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of Finance Charge. We will charge you a minimum FINANCE CHARGE of $1.00 for any Billing Period in which a Finance Charge is due.
e. Penalty Rate. If you fail to pay all or part of your Minimum Payment Due (as described in Section 11) by the Payment Due Date shown on your Statement for two consecutive Billing Periods, we may apply a penalty Annual Percentage Rate ("Penalty Rate") to the existing balance of your Account and to all new purchases beginning on the first day of the first Billing Period thereafter. The Daily Periodic Rate of FINANCE CHARGE for the Penalty Rate is 0.08191% (corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 29.90%). The Penalty Rate will apply to your Account until such time as any delinquency is cured and your account is kept in a current and satisfactory status for six (6) consecutive billing periods. On the seventh billing period the Penalty Rate will no longer apply and your Account will be subject to the Daily Periodic Rate of Finance Charge and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate as described above in Section 14D.
f. Your monthly statement will disclose the applicable Annual Percentage Rate for the Billing Period. As of April 1, 2008, the initial Daily Periodic Rate of FINANCE CHARGE applicable to your Account was 0.06794%, and the corresponding initial ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE was 24.8%.

15. OTHER FEES AND CHARGES. You agree to pay (as interest) the following fees and charges:
A. Late Fee. If you do not pay us at least the Minimum Payment Due for each Billing Period or you pay it late, we can add a late fee to your Account. If the Balance shown on your Statement is less than $15.00 we will not charge a late fee to your account. If the Balance shown on your Statement is $15.00 to $99.99 we will charge a late fee of $15.00 to your account. If the Balance shown on your Statement is equal to or greater than $100.00 we will charge a $29.00 late fee to your account. Your payment will be late if we do not receive it by the Payment Due Date shown on your Statement.
B. Returned Check Fee. We can charge you $25.00 each and every time a bank returns any check to us for any reason. Although we may, we do not have to attempt to collect any check more than once.
C. Document Fee. If a copy of any Statement, sales draft or similar document is provided by us at your request (except in connection with billing error inquiries or resolution), we may charge the Account the following fee(s):

Statement copy - $6.00
Sales/Credit Draft copy - $6.00
Check/Money Order copy - $6.00

D. Alternative Payment Method Fee. We may offer alternative payment methods which would allow you to make individual payments to your Account over the telephone or through the internet. If you choose to use one of those payment methods, then we may assess the then current fee that we charge for this service. At present, that fee is up to $15 for each payment made via telephone, but it may change. We will disclose the current fee to you (you may withdraw your request if you do not want to pay the fee) before you authorize any payment(s) through either of these alternative methods.

16. IMMEDIATE PAYMENT. We may tell you to pay the full amount you owe at once if you do not pay at least the Minimum Payment each time you receive a Statement. We will tell you in advance and/or give you an opportunity to cure your default only if applicable law requires us to do so.

17. ATTORNEY FEES AND COLLECTION COSTS. If you do not comply with your obligations under this Agreement, you agree to pay the reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and court costs we incur in order to collect your Account or protect our rights

18. CHANGE IN TERMS. We can change this agreement at any time, regardless of whether you have access to your account, by adding, deleting, or modifying any provision. Our right to add, delete, or modify provisions includes financial terms, such as the APRs and fees, and other terms such as the nature, extent, and enforcement of the rights and obligations you or we may have relating to this agreement. Modifications, additions, or deletions are called Changes or a Change. We will notify you of any Change if required by applicable law. These Changes may be effective with notice only, at the time stated in our notice, in accordance with applicable law. Unless we state otherwise, any Change will apply to the unpaid balances on your account and to new transactions. The notice will describe any rights you may have with respect to any Change, and the consequences if you do or do not exercise those rights. For example, the notice may state that you may notify us in writing by a specified date if you do not want to accept certain Changes we are making. If you notify us in writing that you do not accept the Changes, your account may be closed (if it is not already closed) and you will be obligated to pay your outstanding balance under the applicable terms of the agreement. If you do not notify us in writing by the date stated in the notice, or if you notify us but then use your account after the date stated in the notice, you will be deemed to accept all Changes in the notice and to accept and confirm all terms of your agreement and all Changes in prior notices we have sent you regardless of whether you have access to your account.

19. SECURITY INTEREST. You grant us a security interest in all goods that you purchase through the use of the Account now or at any time in the future and in all accessions to and proceeds of such goods. We hereby waive any security interest we may have in your principal dwelling to the extent that it would otherwise secure any obligation arising hereunder.

20. GOVERNING LAW. We make the decision to open an Account from our office in Utah. This Agreement is governed by Utah and applicable federal law. This is the law we are speaking of when we refer to a term permitted or required by applicable law.

21. TRANSFER OF RIGHTS/ASSIGNMENT. Your rights under this Agreement cannot be transferred by you, by operation of law, or otherwise, but your obligations shall be binding upon your estate or personal representatives.

If you ask, we will tell you if credit reports were requested, and the name and address of any credit bureaus that provided the reports. You understand that we may report negative information about your Account to the credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your Account may be reflected in your credit report. You hereby authorize us to furnish information concerning your Account to credit bureaus and other creditors, as well as to the retailer whose name appears on your Card.

25. DEBT CANCELLATION. Your purchase of Account Assure is optional. Whether or not you purchase Account Assure will not affect your application for credit or the terms of any existing credit agreement you have with World Financial Capital Bank.

The terms and conditions governing Account Assure will be provided upon enrollment.

29. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. In the event of any past, present or future claim or dispute (whether based upon contract, tort, statute, common law or equity) between you and us arising from or relating to your Card, your application or registration, the relationship that results or the enforceability or scope of this arbitration provision, of the Agreement or of any prior agreement, you or we may elect to resolve the claim or dispute by binding arbitration.

IF EITHER OF YOU OR WE ELECT ARBITRATION, NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN A COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM. PRE-HEARING DISCOVERY RIGHTS AND POST-HEARING APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE LIMITED. NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION BY OR AGAINST OTHER CARDHOLDERS WITH RESPECT TO OTHER CARDS, OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. Even if all parties have opted to litigate a claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any claim made by a new party or any new claims later asserted in that lawsuit, and nothing undertaken therein shall constitute a waiver of any rights under this arbitration provision.

We will not invoke our right to arbitrate an individual claim you bring in small claims court or your state's equivalent court, if any, so long as the claim is pending only in that court and does not exceed $5,000.

Your Card involves interstate commerce, and this provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). The arbitration shall be conducted through, at the option of whoever files the arbitration claim, JAMS or the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) in accordance with their procedures in effect when the claim is filed. For a copy of their procedures, to file a claim or for other information contact JAMS at www.jamsadr.com, toll-free at 1-800-352-5267 or NAF at www.arb-forum.com, toll-free at 1-800-474-2371. At your written request, we will advance any arbitration filing, administrative and hearing fees which you would be required to pay to pursue a claim or dispute as a result of our electing to arbitrate that claim or dispute. Send requests to World Financial Capital Bank, 3100 Easton Square Place, Columbus, Ohio 43219, Attention: General Counsel. The arbitrator will decide who will ultimately be responsible for paying those fees. In no event will you be required to reimburse us for any arbitration filing, administrative or hearing fees in an amount greater than what your and our combined court costs would have been if the claim had been resolved in a state court with jurisdiction.

Any arbitration hearing will take place in the federal judicial district where you reside. The arbitrator shall follow applicable substantive law to the extent consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law.

NOTICE OF REPORTING ERRORS
If you believe the Account information being reported to a consumer reporting agency is inaccurate, you may write to us at the Billing Errors address below. Please specify in your letter the information that you believe is inaccurate.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE
This notice contains important information about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.

Notify Us In Case of Errors or Questions about Your Bill.
If you think your bill (Statement) is wrong, or if you need more information about a transaction on your bill, write us on a separate sheet at World Financial Capital Bank, PO Box 182620 Columbus, OH 43218-2620. Write to us as soon as possible. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the first bill on which the error or problem appeared. You can telephone us, but doing so will not preserve your rights.

Your name and Account Number.
The dollar amount of the suspected error.
Describe the error and explain, if you can, why you believe there is an error. If you need more information, describe the item you are unsure about.

Your Rights and Our Responsibilities after We Receive Your Written Notice. We must acknowledge your letter within 30 days, unless we have corrected the error by then. Within 90 days, we must either correct the error or explain why we believe the bill was correct.

After we receive your letter, we cannot try to collect any amount you question, or report you as delinquent. We can continue to bill you for the amount you question, including Finance Charges and we can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. You do not have to pay any questioned amount while we are investigating, but you are still obligated to pay the parts of your bill that are not in question.

If we find that we made a mistake on your bill, you will not have to pay any Finance Charges related to any questioned amount. If we didn't make a mistake, you may have to pay Finance Charges, and you will have to make up any missed payments on the questioned amount. In either case, we will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date that it is due.

If you fail to pay the amount that we think you owe, we may report you as delinquent. However, if our explanation does not satisfy you, and you write to us within ten days telling us that you still refuse to pay, we must tell anyone we report you to that you have a question about your bill. And, we must tell you the name of anyone we reported you to. We must tell anyone we report you to that the matter has been settled between us when it finally is.

If we don't follow these rules, we can't collect the first $50.00 of the questioned amount, even if your bill was correct.

Special Rule for Credit Card Purchases. If you have a problem with the quality of property or services that you purchased with a 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 property or services. There are two limitations on this right:
A. You must have made the purchase in your home state or, if not within your home state, within 100 miles of your current mailing address; and
B. The purchase price must have been more than $50.00.
These limitations do not apply if we own or operate the merchant, or if we mailed you the advertisement for the property or services.
