PAYMENT DISBURSEMENT OPTIONS
 
DISBURSEMENT: If your loan is approved, we will process disbursement of your loan proceeds within one (1) business day of the day your loan is approved.
You authorize us to use commercially reasonable efforts to initiate a credit entry by depositing the proceeds of your loan into your Bank Account as described in
your Disbursement Authorization. The date that your loan proceeds are deposited to your Bank Account is the “Disbursement Date.” Unavoidable delays that
occur as a result of bank holidays, the processing schedule of your individual bank, inadvertent processing errors, “acts of God,” and/or “acts of terror” may
extend the time for the deposit and may cause a change in the Disbursement Date and your Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”) as disclosed herein. In the event that
disbursement is delayed, the Disbursement Date will automatically adjust to the actual date of disbursement.
 
AUTHORIZATION FOR ACH CREDIT: You agree that we may initiate a credit entry to your Bank Account for an amount consistent with this Agreement on
or before the Effective Date. If you revoke this authorization before we credit the loan proceeds to you, then we will not be able to deposit the loan proceeds into
your Bank Account. To find out whether or not a deposit has been made, you may contact customer service at (844)446-4686.
 
PAYMENT METHOD OPTIONS
 
PAYMENTS: You are required to make the payments for each period outlined in the payment schedule above (“Installment Period”) on or before the payment due
dates in the payment schedule (“Payment Due Dates”). If you would like to repay your loan according to a payment plan other than as set forth herein, you must
contact a customer service representative no later than three (3) days prior to your next scheduled Payment Due Date to make those payment schedule
modifications if you would like them in effect for the next Payment Due Date. You will make your payments on or before every Payment Due Date until you have
paid the entire principal and accrued finance charge(s) and any other charges as described in this Agreement. If on the final scheduled Payment Due Date
(“Maturity Date”), you still owe amounts under this Agreement, you will pay those amounts in full on that date. You may elect to make your payments
electronically: by ACH debit. You may also elect to make your payments by cashier’s check or money order and mail your payments to us.
 
ELECTRONIC PAYMENT: If you elect to make your payments electronically, then your payment plus any Non-Sufficient Funds (“NSF”), Late or Refused
Instrument Charge fees due to us, if applicable, will be debited electronically from your Bank Account on each Payment Due Date as set forth in your payment
schedule (see “PAYMENT CHOICE AUTHORIZATION” below) through one of the electronic methods described below. You may revoke your payments by
contacting customer service at (844)466-4686 or emailing us at [email protected]. Please note: if your scheduled payment has already been
submitted to your financial institution at the time of revocation, it may be necessary for us to wait until that payment posts before we can refund you that payment
amount. However, when possible, at the time of revocation, we will void any pending payment(s). For the purposes of these disclosures, our business days are
Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm CT. Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays are not included.
 
PAYMENTS BY ACH DEBIT: If you elect to pay by ACH debit, then you authorize us, our successors and assigns to initiate automatic debits for payments
from your Bank Account. You agree that we will initiate debit entries on each scheduled payment date or thereafter for the scheduled amount, or any lesser amount
you owe. You authorize us to initiate separate ACH debit entries to your Bank Account identified in the Payment Choice Authorization for any returned payment
and NSF, Late or Refused Instrument Charge fees in the amounts set forth in this Agreement. You agree that we may reinitiate any ACH up to two (2) additional
times for the same amount if an ACH is dishonored. You do not have to authorize payments by ACH debit in order to receive a loan from us. If you do not want to
make payments by ACH debit, please review the other available payment options below.
 
You may revoke this authorization by contacting customer service at (844) 446-4686 or emailing us at [email protected] not less than three (3)
business days prior to your scheduled payment. Please note: if your scheduled payment has already been submitted to your financial institution at the time of
revocation, it may be necessary for us to wait until that payment posts before we can refund you that payment amount. However, when possible, at the time of
revocation, we will void any pending payment(s).
 
You have the right to receive notice of all transfers that vary in amount. You acknowledge that we elected to offer you a specified range of amounts for the
recurring ACH processing rather than providing you with a notice of transfer for each varying amount. The ACH debit may range from the amount provided in
this Agreement, which may be a scheduled payment amount or less if partial prepayments have been made, to the scheduled payment amount plus applicable NSF,
Late or Refused Instrument Charge fees. We will send you a notice if a charge exceeds this range.
 
You authorize us to verify any information that you provide to us, including past and current information from whatever source. You agree that the ACH entries
authorized here are voluntary, and that certain entries will recur as defined in this Agreement at substantially regular intervals. If there is any missing or erroneous
information in or with your loan application regarding your Bank Account, then you authorize us to verify and correct the information. If any payment cannot be
obtained by ACH, you remain responsible for such payment and any resulting fees under this Agreement.
 
Your Bank Account associated with this authorization is listed in the Payment Choice Authorization.
 
PAYMENT BY CASHIER’S CHECK OR MONEY ORDER: If you elect to pay by cashier’s check or money order, then you agree to repay all amounts due
pursuant to this Agreement by mailing your cashier’s checks or money orders to us at P.O. Box 58112, Minto, AK 99758. All mailed payments must reach us by
5:00pm Central Time on or before 2 business days prior to the Payment Due Date to ensure timely processing of your payment.
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
PREPAYMENT: You may prepay all or part of the amount you owe us at any time before the Maturity Date without penalty. If you prepay in full, you must pay
the finance charge(s) accrued on your loan and all other amounts due up to the date of the prepayment. If you wish to prepay your loan, then you must contact a
customer service representative at (844) 446-4686 to obtain an accurate payoff amount and either provide us with authorization to effect a debit entry to your Bank
Account for the prepayment, or otherwise advise us of your intended method of prepayment. If you prepay all or part of the principal amount due on your loan,
your finance charges on the amount prepaid will be calculated as of the date of your prepayment.
 
LATE CHARGE: You agree to pay a late charge of $20 if a payment is 5 days or more late. If you authorized debits from your Bank Account or debit card in
your Payment Choice Authorization, you agree that we may debit your Bank Account or debit card, as applicable, for any late charges.
 
REFUSED INSTRUMENT CHARGE: If your payment method is stopped, denied or otherwise dishonored, then you agree to pay us a fee of $30. If you
authorized debits from either your Bank Account or debit card in your Payment Choice Authorization, you agree that we may debit your Bank Account or debit
card, as applicable, for any Refused Instrument Charge. Your refused instrument may also cause your payment to be late which could result in your having to also
pay a late charge.
 
YOUR PROMISE TO PAY: You promise to pay us, or any subsequent holder of this Agreement, the Amount Financed and finance charges according to the
payment schedule in the Truth in Lending Disclosures plus all other amounts owed to us under this Agreement. You agree that your finance charges will be
calculated at the Annual Percentage Rate in the Truth in Lending Disclosures. All payments will be applied first to finance charges and fees and then to principal.
If you prepay all or part of the principal amount due on your loan, your finance charges on the amount prepaid will be calculated as of the date of your
prepayment.
 
WHEN YOU BEGIN PAYING FINANCE CHARGE(S): You begin to accrue finance charge(s) for the loan on the Disbursement Date. The first Installment
Period on the loan begins on the Disbursement Date and ends on the first Payment Due Date. Thereafter, each Installment Period begins on the first date following
the Payment Due Date and ends on the next Payment Due Date. You will be charged finance charge(s) on the entire Installment Period beginning on the first day
of the Installment Period. In calculating your payments, we have assumed you will make each payment on the day and in the amount due as outlined within your
payment schedule. If any payment is made before the Payment Due Date, the finance charge(s) will be calculated as of the date of your prepayment, and any over
payment will be applied to the amounts owed under this Agreement. Time is of the essence, which means that there are no grace periods for when payments must
be made.
 
ASSIGNMENT: This Agreement may not be assigned by you. We may assign or transfer this Agreement and our related rights and obligations without notice to
you and your consent is not required if we make such an assignment or transfer.
 
VERIFICATION: You authorize us to verify the information you provided to us in connection with your loan application. You give us consent to obtain
information about you from consumer reporting agencies or other sources at any time. We reserve the right to withhold funding of this loan, at any time prior to
disbursement, to allow us to verify the information you have provided to us.
 
CREDIT REPORTING: We may report information about your loan to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your loan may be
reflected on your credit report.
 
CANCELLATION: CANCELLATION: You may cancel your payment obligations under this Agreement, without cost or finance charges, no later than 5:00 p.m.
Central Time of the second business day immediately following the Disbursement Date (“Cancellation Deadline”). Your right to cancel your loan only applies if
your loan either hasn’t funded or, if it has, the funds are returned to us as explained below. To cancel your payment obligations on this loan, you must inform us in
writing, by or before the Cancellation Deadline, by email to [email protected] that you want to cancel the future payment obligations on this
loan. If we timely receive your written notice of cancellation on or before the Cancellation Deadline but before the loan proceeds have been deposited into your
Bank Account, then we will not debit your Bank Account and both your and our obligations under this Agreement will be rescinded. However, if we timely
receive your written notice of cancellation on or before the Cancellation Deadline but after the loan proceeds have been deposited into your Bank Account, then
you authorize us to effect a debit to your Bank Account or your debit card as you chose in your Payment Choice Authorization for the principal amount of this
Agreement. If we receive payment of the principal amount via the debit, then both your and our obligations under this Agreement will be rescinded. If we do not
receive payment of the principal amount by debit to your Bank Account or your debit card, then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
 
DEFAULT: You will be in default under this Agreement if you do not pay us a scheduled payment or any other amounts you owe us when due or your chosen
payment method is stopped, denied or otherwise dishonored. If you default on your loan, we can choose to declare all principal, finance charges and other amounts
that you owe us to be immediately due and payable in full. If you are in default and you authorized debits from your Bank Account, you agree that we can debit
your Bank Account or debit card, as applicable, for the full amount that you owe us. Additionally, if you do not cooperate with us on repaying your debt to us we
may submit your name to a collection agency and we may also report the incident to a consumer reporting agency database. This may negatively impact your
ability to write checks or to receive loans or advances from other companies.
 
CONSEQUENCES OF DEFAULT: Upon a default by you under this Agreement, we may, at our sole option, take any one or more of the following actions: 

a) Agree to permit you to cure a payment default before the loan goes into collection by modifying your Payment Schedule and/or payment amounts (a “Cure
Arrangement”). This option is not available for all customers and/or all loan products. If we agree to a Cure Arrangement and you fail to honor its terms, then we
will have the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate the Cure Arrangement and immediately and without notice declare the entire unpaid principal balance and
all accrued unpaid finance charge(s) and fees immediately due under your loan (“Accelerate Your Loan”); 

b) Automatically and without further action or notice Accelerate Your Loan and require you to immediately pay us all amounts due and owing pursuant to such
acceleration; 

c) If you have elected to repay your loan electronically, we may automatically and without further action or notice withdraw from your designated account(s) an
amount equal to the amount owed and unpaid as of your last scheduled payment date up to an amount equal to the amount owed if we have Accelerated Your
Loan; and 

d) Pursue all legally available means to collect what you owe us. 

By electing any one of these options, we do not waive or release our right to subsequently elect and apply any other options to collect the amounts due and owing
to us.
 
GOVERNING LAW: The laws of the Tribe and applicable federal law will govern this Agreement, without regard to the laws of any state or other jurisdiction,
including the conflict of laws rules of any state. You agree to be bound by Tribal law, and in the event of a bona fide dispute between you and us, Tribal law and
applicable federal law shall exclusively apply to such dispute.
 
SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY AND PRESERVATION OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY: This Agreement and all related documents are being submitted by you
to us as an economic development arm and instrumentality of the Tribe. The Tribe is a federally recognized Indian Tribe and enjoys sovereign immunity. Nothing
in this Agreement constitutes a waiver of the Tribe’s sovereign immunity and the Tribe’s immunity is fully preserved and is not waived either in whole or in part
by this Agreement and the Tribe expressly maintains all rights, titles, privileges, and immunities, to which the Tribe is entitled. To protect and preserve the rights
of the parties, no person may assume a waiver of sovereign immunity. No waiver of the Tribe’s immunity is or can be made except by express written declaration
of the Tribe’s Tribal Council specifically authorizing a waiver for the matter in question. No such waiver has been made with respect to either your Agreement or
your Disbursement and Payment Choice Authorization. As set forth below, the Tribe expressly preserves its sovereign immunity and you may not assert any
claims against the Tribe. As an economic development arm and instrumentality of the Tribe, we are entitled to sovereign immunity to the same extent as the Tribe.
We do not have the authority to waive sovereign immunity of any third parties, including, but not limited to, BEDCO and the Tribe. To encourage resolution of
consumer complaints, a complaint may be submitted by you or on your behalf pursuant to the Dispute Resolution Procedure and Arbitration Provision below and
the complaint is limited by the Dispute Resolution Procedure and Arbitration Provision.

arbitration, the arbitration shall occur before the American Arbitration Association (1-800-778-7879; http://www.adr.org). However, the parties may mutually
agree to select a different arbitrator who is an attorney, retired judge, or arbitrator registered and in good standing with an arbitration association and arbitrate
pursuant to such arbitrator’s rules. The party receiving notice of arbitration shall respond in writing by certified mail return receipt requested within twenty (20)
calendar days. All parties to such dispute will be governed by the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association applicable to consumer disputes,
to the extent those rules and procedures do not contradict the express terms of this Agreement or this Arbitration Provision, including the limitations on the
arbitrator below. You may obtain a copy of the rules and procedures by contacting the American Arbitration Association (1-800-778-7879; http://www.adr.org).
 
Regardless of who demands arbitration, we will advance your portion of the expenses associated with the arbitration, including the filing, administrative, hearing
and arbitrator’s fees (“Arbitration Fees”). Throughout the arbitration, each party shall bear his or her own attorneys’ fees and expenses, such as witness and expert
witness fees. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the Governing Law set forth above, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
§§1-16 (“FAA”) and applicable statutes of limitation, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitration hearing will be conducted in the county
of your residence, unless you agree to a different location. In conducting the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall not apply any federal or state rules of civil
procedure or evidence. If the arbitrator renders a decision or an award in your favor resolving the dispute, the arbitrator shall award you reasonable attorneys’ fees.
If the arbitrator renders a decision or an award in your favor resolving the dispute then you will not be responsible for reimbursing us for your portion of the
Arbitration Fees and we will reimburse you for any Arbitration Fees you have previously paid. Regardless of whether the arbitrator renders a decision or an award
in your favor resolving the dispute, you will not be responsible for reimbursing us for your portion of the Arbitration Fees and we are not entitled to an award of
attorneys’ fees. At the timely request of any party, the arbitrator shall provide a written explanation for the award. The arbitrator’s award may be filed with any
court having competent jurisdiction.
 
You and we expressly acknowledge and agree that this Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be
governed by the FAA.
