Plan Contract — Terms and Conditions

These are the terms and conditions of the optional SafeLine® Account Protection Plus Plan (“Plan”) in which you have elected to be enrolled in connection with your WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti credit account (“credit account”).

In this Contract, the words “you” and “your” refer to the person enrolled in the Plan, and the words “we”, “us” and “our” refer to WebBank.

1. Enrollment

Your purchase of the Plan is optional. Whether or not you purchase the Plan will not affect your application for credit or the terms of any existing credit agreement you have with WebBank.

The monthly fee for the Plan is $1.89 per $100 outstanding on your credit account statement at the end of each monthly billing cycle. To determine your monthly SafeLine fee we take the Previous Balance and subtract any Payments & Credits, then add Purchases & Debits, Fees Charged (excluding SafeLine fee) and Interest Charged as listed on your account statement. (This is equal to your New Balance minus the SafeLine fee.) We then divide the total by $100 and multiply that number by $1.89. Here are two examples. If your Previous Balance was $100, you made a $30 payment, made $50 in new purchases, incurred no fees, and incurred $5 in interest, then your SafeLine fee would be $2.36 (($100 - $30 + $50 + $5)/$100 x $1.89 = $2.36). If your Previous Balance was $650, you made a $100 payment, made $75 in new purchases, incurred $32 in fees, and incurred $19 in interest, then your SafeLine fee would be $12.78 (($650 - $100 + $75 + $32 + $19)/$100 x $1.89 = $12.78).

You have the right to cancel the Plan at any time by calling 1-800-701-2546. If you cancel within sixty (60) days of your enrollment date, we will refund your Plan fee. We reserve the right to adjust any of the terms and conditions, or cancel the Plan entirely, with thirty (30) days prior written notification to you of the change, during which time you have the right to cancel the Contract without penalty. Any change or cancellation will not affect any benefit activation that exists on or prior to the effective date of such change or cancellation. If in a benefit, the cancellation will take effect when the benefit term expires.

2. Balance Cancellation Benefit Description

Provided all conditions are met, we may activate your benefits and cancel your entire balance up to your assigned credit limit as of the date of your death, notification of foreclosure, or upon the discharge of debt or Chapter 13 plan; or we may cancel your entire balance at the end of your Maximum Benefit Period under Disability, Hospitalization, or Involuntary Unemployment protection. Upon balance cancellation, your credit account will be closed.

3. Monthly Benefit Payment Benefit Description

Provided all conditions are met, we may activate your benefits and credit the current month’s minimum monthly payment of principal and interest due (“Monthly Benefit Payment”), which is not inclusive of any past due or delinquent payments, on your credit account during the benefit activation period. You will not be required to make a payment on your credit account for the current payment due while your benefits are active.

“Current month’s minimum monthly payment” is not a term found on the billing statement. It is calculated by taking the Total Amount Due for the current month, as shown on the billing statement, and then subtracting any past due amounts and/or late fees assessed prior to benefit activation. Only the current month’s minimum monthly payment is eligible for the Monthly Benefit Payment. Past due amounts and/or late fees assessed prior to benefit activation included in the Total Amount Due, as shown on your monthly billing statement, are not included in the current month’s minimum payment definition and will be your responsibility to pay.

Upon benefit activation, your credit account is suspended. Suspended means you will be unable to use your credit account while benefits are activated. Interest will continue to accrue on your outstanding balance. During those billing periods, no reports reflecting a deteriorating credit status with us will be sent to any credit reporting agency.

Upon benefit activation, your credit account will be suspended and eligible for benefits for the length of time that the condition causing your benefits to be activated continues and you provide documentation to support up to the maximum benefit period; provided, however, that suspension or benefit activation will never be less than one (1) month. The monthly benefits are cumulative, meaning that benefits do not have to be used consecutively. On-going conditions and consecutive monthly benefit payment periods are required for all balance cancellations. Absent a balance cancellation, once your benefits have expired, your account will be reactivated in the same status as it was on the date of benefit activation, and you will be responsible for making monthly payments again as outlined in your credit account agreement.

4. General Requirements for Benefit Activation
