PHL A #1456936 /1 WORD97 4 D5J16/0211:16 PM
which is imposed whenever we honor any Cash Advance you request. Please note that in the
Billing Cycle in which a Cash Advance is posted, the Cash Advance Fee will cause the "Annual
Percentage Rate" to exceed the "Corresponding Annual Percentage Rate" shown on your
Statement for that Billing Cycle; (3) a "Periodic Rate Finance Charge," which is calculated on
the Purchase or Cash Advance balances outstanding on your Account; (4) a "Credit Line
Increase Fee" of $]00.00, which may be charged in connection with each unsecured credit line
increase we approve after your Account is opened; and (S) a "minimum FINANCE C.HA.RGE"
of$.50, which will be charged for a Billing Cycle during which there exists any Purchases and/or
Cash Advances balance of $1.00 or greater in your Account. To determine the Periodic Rate
Finance Charge we multiply the monthly Periodic Rate(s) by the "average daily balances" in
your Account (including current transactions), which we compute separately for Purchases and
Cash Advances. The total Finance Charge imposed on your Account each Billing Cycle is the
sum of the Periodic Rate Finance Charges, a1J Cash Advance Fees, all Account Origination Fees,
any Credit Line Increase Fees, a minimum Finance Charge and any other finance charge which
may be imposed during such Billing Cycle. Finance Charges accrue on Purchases and Cash
Advances and fees beginning on the date the transaction occurs or on the fast day of the Billing
Cycle the transaction is received by us (whichever is lacer) or, at our option, the date the.
transaction is posted to your Account. Finance Charges continue to accrue until payment in full
is received.
The monthly Periodic Rate (and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate) applicable to
your Account are variable and may increase or decrease from month io month. These rates are
based on the value of an •index ("Index") to which we add a margin. The Index applicable to
your Account for a Billing Cycle ~is the highest Prime Rate reported in the "Money Rates"
column of The A'all Street .lournal on the last business day of the month chat ended prior to the
first day of the Billing Cycle. An increase in the rate may cause you to pay a larger finance
charge and a higher minimum payment. A decrease in the rate may cause you to pay a smaller
finance charge and a lower minimum payment.
(a) Purchases. To get the "average daily balance" of Purchases, we take the
beginning balance of Purchases in your Account each day, add any new Purchases, and subtract
any payments or•creditsposted that day which are applied to Purchases. On the first day of each
Billing Cycle, we add to the daily balance of Purchases the unpaid Finance Charges for
Purchases for the prior Billing Cycle. (In this way, we compound Finance Charges on Purchases
on your Account.) This gives us the daily balance of Purchases. Then we add up all the daily
balances of Purchases for the Billing Cycle and divide the iota) by the number of days in the
Billing Cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance" of Purchases. There is no grace period
in which Purchases may be repaid without incurring a Finance Charge.
(b) Cash Advances. To get the "average daily balance" of Cash Advances, we take
the beginning balance of Cash Advances in your Account each day, add any new Cash
Advances, and subtract any payments or credits posted that day which are applied to Cash
Advances. 'On the fast day of each Billing Cycle, we add the unpaid Periodic Rate Finance
Charges for Cash Advances for the prior Billing Cycle to the daily balance of Cash Advances.
(In this way, and by adding any unpaid Account Origination Fee to the Cash Advances balance
on the first day of the first Billing Cycle, we compound Finance Charges on Cash Advances on
your Account.) This gives us the daily balance of Cash Advances. Then, we add up all the daily
balances of Cash Advances for the Billing Cycle and divide the total by the number of days in
PHL A it1456936 ~2 WoRD97 $ 05/16/0211:16 PM
-the Billing Cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance" of Cash Advances. There is ~c
grace period. in which Cash Advances may be repaid without incurring~a Finance Charge,
(c) General Periodic Rates. The monthly Periodic Rate for Purchases and Cash
Advances is the greater of (i) one twelfth of the sum of the Index plus a argin o . 74% or (ii)
1.749%, which corresponds to an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE f 20.99%. e monthly
Periodic Raie (and corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RA in eff when this
Agreement was sent to you are shown on the accompanying card carrier o ert sent to you
with this Agreement.
(d) Periodic Rates for Laie Payers.
(i) If at any time you do not pay at ]east the Minimum Payment Due on or
before the last day of the first Billing Cycle which begins after the applicable Payment Due Date,
the monthly Periodic Rate for Purchases and Cash Advances (including existing balances) will
be increased to an adjusted variable monthly Periodic Rate equal to the greater of (A) one twelfth
of the sum of the Index plus a •margin of 15.74% or (B) 1.999%, which corresponds to an
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 23.99%. The monthly Periodic Rate (and corresponding
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE) in effect when this Agreement was sent to you. are shown
on the accompanying card carrier or insert. The adjusted monthly Periodic Rate will take effect
as of the first day of that first Billing Cycle.
(ii) If at any time you do not pay at least the Minimum Payment Due on or
before the last day of the second consecutive Billing Cycle which begins after the applicable
Payment Due Date, the monthly Periodic Rate for Purchases and Cash Advances (including
existing balances) will be increased to an adjusted variable monthly Periodic Rate equal to the
greater of (A) one twelfth of the sum of the Index plus a margin of l 8.74% or (B) 2.249%, which
corresponds to an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 26.99%. The monthly Periodic Rate
(and corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE) in effect when this Agreement was sent
to you are shown on the accompanying card carrier or insert. The adjusted monthly Periodic
Rate will take effect as of the first day of that second consecutive Billing Cycle.
(iii) If your monthly Periodic Rate (and the corresponding ANNUAL
PERCENTAGE RATE) is increased as described in (d)(i) or (d)(ii) above, it may subsequently
be reduced at our discretion commencing after a review, which occurs at the end of each Billing
Cycle, whereby we determine that for (d)(i), for three consecutive Billing Cycles and for (d)(ii),
for six consecutive Billing Cycles the following conditions have been met; (l) no payment has
been received ]ate, (2) at least the Minimum Payment amount has been received and (3) your

so reduced v•ill be subject to a subsequent increase should future payments be missed in the
manner described above.
Credit Availability. Payments by guaranteed funds (such as money orders and cashier's
checks) will increase your credit availability on the day after your payment is credited. For all
other payments, depending on the payment amount and/or how long your Account has been
opened or if you have previously made a payment with nonsu~cient funds, the payment will not
increase your credit availability until we are assured that the payment instrument has not been
dishonored.
