fee does not affect our rights to close your account and to limit your right to
make transactions on your account If your account is dosed by you or us,
we will continue to charge the annual fee until you pay your outstanding
balance in full and terminate your account relationship.
Esplauatia d Finns Charges: We calculate periodic finance charges,
using the applicable periodic rates shown on this statement separately for
each feature (e.g, balance transfer/convenience checks and cash advance
checks ("check transaction"), purchases, balance transfers, cash advances,
promotional balances or overdraft advances). These calculabons may
combine different categories with der same dairy periodic rates. If there is a
"y" next to a periodic ram on this statemeM that rate may vary, and the
index and margin used to determine that rate and its corresponding APR are
described in your Cardmember Agreement, as amended. There is a
minimum finance charge in any billing cycle in which you owe any periodic
finance charges, and a transaction finance charge for each balance transfer,
cash advance, or check transaction, in the amounts stated in your
Cardmernber Agreement as amended.
To gat the daily balance for each day of the current billing cycle, we take the
beginning balance for each feature, add any new transactions or other debits
(including fees, unpaid finance charges and other charges), subtract any
payments or credits, and make other adjustments. Transactions are added
as of the transaction dam, the beginning of the billing cycle in which they are
posted to your account, or a later date of our choice (except that check
transactions are added as of the date deposited by the payee or a later date
of our choice). Fees are added either on the date of a related transaction, the
_1
date they are posted to your account, or the last day of the billing cycle. This
gives us that day's daily balance. A credit balance is treated as a balance of
zero. If a daily periodic rate applies to any feature, we multiply the daily
balance by the daily periodic rate to gal your periodic finance charges for
that day. We then add these periodic finance charges to your dally balance
to got the beginning balance for the next day. (If m ore then one daily periodic
rate could apply based on the average daily balance, we will use the daily
periodic rate that applies for the average daily balance amount at the end of
the billing cycle to calculate the daily periodic finance charge each day.)
To gal your total periodic finance charge for a billing cycle when a daily
periodic rate(s) applies, we add all of the daily periodic finance charges for all
features. To determine an average daily balance, we add your daily balances
and divide by the number of the days in the applicable billing cycle(s). If you
multiply the average dally balance for each feature by the applicable daily
periodic rate, and then muldply each of these results by the number of days
in the applicable batting cycle(s), and then add all of the results together, the
total will also equal the periodic finance charges for the billing cycle, except
for minor variations due to rounding. To get yourtotal periodic finance charge
for a billing cycle when a monthly periodic rate(s) applies, multiply the
average daily balance for each feature by the applicable monthly periodic rate
and add the results together. The total will equal the periodic finance charges
for the billing cycle, except for minor variations due to rounding.
Grace Pedal (at lead 20 days):
We accrue periodic finance charges on a transaction, fee, or finance charge
from the date it is added to your daily balance urull payment in full is
received on your account. However, we do not charge periodic finance
charges on new purchases billed during a billing cycle if we receive both
payment of your New Balance on your current statement by the date and
time your payment is due and also payment of your New Balance on your
previous statement by the date and time your payment was due. There is no
grace period for balance transfers, cash advances, check transactions, or
overdraft advances.
Is addition, if there is a "Qualifying Promotiaal Summing" section a
Ibis statoraed, you will not incur periodic finance charges on any
Remaining Balance that appears in that section If you pay that balance in full
by the applicable Expiration Date. To avoid finance charges on new
purchases when your New Balance includes arty Remaining Balance(s) in
the Qualifying Promotional Financing section, pay your full New Balance
minus the total of those Remaining Balance(s) by the date and time your
payment is due. However, If your statement shows that s minknum payment
is due, we mug receive at least that minimum payment by the date and time
specified on your statement, even if your New Balance consists only of
Qualifying Promotional Financing balances.
Also, for some Qualifying Promotional Financing balances, periodic finance
charges accrue during the promotional period but are not added to your
account balance. Instead, they accumulate from billing cycle to billing cycle.
This is referred to as "deferred Interest" If a deferred interest Ouallying
Promotional Financing balance is not paid in full by the applicable Expiration
Date, the deferred finance charges will be added to your account as soon as
the first day after the Expiration Date. Further, if you default under the terms
of your Cardmember Agreement, the deferred finance charges will be added
to your account as soon as the date of default.

You may pay more than the minimum payment due and may pay the full amount you

sooneryou payus, the lessyou will pay in finance charges because finance charges
accrue on your balance each day.
Your billing statement shows your beginning balance and your ending balance (the
'New Balance" on your billing statement}. If the New Balance is SID.DD or less, your
minimum payment due will be the New Balance. Otherwise, it will be the largest of
the following: 51DAD; 2% of the New Balance; or the sum of 1% of the New Balance,
total billed periodic rate finance charges, and any billed late and overlimh fees. As
pertofthe minimum payment due, we also add any amount past due and any amount
over your credit line.
Payment Allocation: You agree that we are authorized to allocate your payments
and credits in a way that is most favorable to or convenient for us. For example, you
authorize us to apply your payments and credits to balances with lower APRs (such
as promotional APRs) before balances with higher APRs.
Credit Balances: You may request a refund of a credit balance at any time. We may
reduce the amount of any credit balance by the amount of new charges or fees billed
to your account
Automatic Charges: You may authorize a third party to automatically charge your
account for repeat transactions Ifor example, monthly utility charges, memberships
and insurance premiums). If automatic charges are stopped for any reason (including
because your account is closed or suspended for any reason) or your account
number changes,you are responsible fur notifying the biller and paying these charges
directly. If your account number changes, we may, but are not required to, pay from
your new account number charges that you authorized to be billed to your old account
number.
Promotions-. From time to time we may offer special terms for your account If we
do, we will notify you about the terms of the offer and how long they will be in effect.
Any promotion is subject to the terms of this agreement, as modified by the
promotional offer.
FINANCE CHARGES
Daily Periodic Rates and Annual Percentage Rates: Your annual percentage rates
('APRs') and the corresponding daily periodic rates are listed on the Rates and Fees
Table that is at the end of this document or provided separately. To get the daily
periodic rate we divide the APR by 365, and in effect always round up at the fifth
place to the right of the decimal point
Variable Rates: One or more APRs that apply to your account may vary with changes
to the Prime Rate. When you have an APR that varies with changes to the Prime
Rate, we calculate the APR by adding a margin to the Prime Rate published in The
Waft StreetJourral two business days before the Closing Date shown on your billing
statement The *Prime Rate' is the highest (U.S.) Prime Rate published in the Money
Rates section of The Will StmetJournal. If The Wa#SrreetJournalstops publishing
the Prime Rate, we will select a similar reference rate and inform you on your billing
statement or through a separate notice.
A'margin" is the percentage we add to the Prime Rate to calculate the APR. A
"business day' is any day that is not a weekend or federal holiday. The Rates and
Fees Table shows which rates, it any, are variable rates. It also lists the margin for
each variable rate and any minimum daily periodic rate and corresponding APR.
Two business days before the Closing Date shown on your billing statement, we see
what the Prime Rate is. We then add the applicable margin to that Prime Rate to get
the APR. The daily periodic rate is calculated as described above.
If our calculation results in a change to a daily periodic rate from the previous billing
cycle because the Prime Rate has changed, the new rate will apply as of the first
day of your billing cycle that ends in the calendar month in which we made the
calculation. lithe daily periodic rate increases, you will have to pay a higher periodic
finance charge and may have to pay a higher minimum payment
Default Rates: Your APRs also may vary if you are in default under this agreement
or any other agreement you have with us or any of our related companies for any of
the following reasons:
• We do not receive, for any payment that is owed on this account or any other
account or loan with us, at least the minimum payment due by the date and time
due,
• You exceed your credit line on this account
• You make a payment to us that is not honored by your bank.
If any of these events occurs, we may increase the APRs (including any promotional
APRI on all balances (excluding overdraft advances) up to a maximum of the default
rate stated in the Rates and Fees Table. We may consider the following factors to
determine your default rate: the length of time your account has been open, the
existence, seriousness and timing of the defaults on your account; other indications
of your account usage and performance; information about your other relationships
with us or any of our related companies; and information we obtain from consumer
credit reports obtained from credit bureaus. The default rate will take effect as of
the first day of the billing cycle in which the default occurs.
