Daily Periodic Rates and Annual Percentage Rater. You anneal percentage rates
('APRs) and the corresponding daily periodic rates ere listed on the Rates and Fees
Table that is at the end of this document or provided separately. To get the daily
periodic raw we divide the APR by 365, and in effect always round up at the fifth
place to the right of the decimal point troth Changes
Variabla Rates: Dne or more APRsthot ep plyto your account mayvary
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 Raw published in The
MI S iretJournaftwo 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 Weft Street Journal. If The Wag Street Joumalstops 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, if 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 than 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 you billing cycle that ands in the calendar month in which we made the
calculation. If the daily periodic rate increases, you will have to pay a higher periodic
finance charge and may have to pay a higher minimum payment
Default Rater Your or any other greement you also have may us or any of our default relat d companies for any of
the following reasons.

If an of these events occurs, we may increase the APRs (including any promotional
APR?on all balances (excluding overdraft advances) upto 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 arty of our related companies; and information we obtain from consumer
credit reports obtained from credit bureaus. The default rate will take effect as of

with the same dally periodic rates. This is how it work .

To get the beginning balance for each category for th next day, we add the daily
periodic finance charge to the daily balance. It more than one daily periodic rate
could apply to a category because the rate for the category may vary based on the
amount of its average daily balance, we will use the daily periodic rate that applies
forthe average daily balance amount at the end of the biting cycle to calculate the
