Creating a Reserve. Regardless of any contrary provision in the Agreement, we have the right in our sole discretion to determine that it is necessary to establish a Reserve. If we believe that we need to create a Reserve, we may immediately establish a Reserve or terminate the Agreement. We shall inform you if we establish a Reserve or terminate the Agreement. We may establish a Reserve by (i) withholding amounts from payment we otherwise would make to you under the Agreement or (ii) requiring you to deposit funds or other collateral with us. Any collateral provided pursuant to this Section 3 of the General Provisions is subject to our prior written approval. We may increase the amount of the Reserve at any time so long as the amount of the Reserve does not exceed an amount sufficient, in our reasonable judgment, to satisfy any financial exposure or risk to us under the Agreement (including Charges submitted by you for goods or services not yet received by Cardmembers and our costs of handling Disputed Charges) or to us or our Affiliates under any Other Agreement, or to Cardmembers. Upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 3.b.viii of the General Provisions, and during any continuation of such event, we may take immediate action to establish or increase the amount of any Reserve to an amount proportional to the risk covered by such event.
