Explanation of Process CbarOea: 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 ("drodk transaction"), purchases, balance transfers, cash advances,
promotional balances or overdraft advances). Please consult your
Cardmember Agreement for the features that are applicable to your card.
These calculations may combine different categories with the same dally
periodic rates. If More its a "V" nod to a periodic rate on this statement, 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 isa 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 Cardmember Agreement, as amended.
To get 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 Me transaction date, the beginning of the billing cycle in which they are
posted to your account, or a later dab of our choice (except that rack
transactions are added as of the date deposited by the payer or a later dab of
our choice). Fees are added either on the dab of a related transaction, the date
they are posted to your account, or the last day of the big' cyde. This gives
us that days day balnos. A credit balance Is treated as a an *o! of mro. It
a daily periodic rate applies to any feature, we multiply the day balance by the
day periodic rate to get your periodic finance charges for that day. We then
add these periodic finance charges to your daily balance to get th beginning
balance for the next day. (If more than one day periodic rate could apply
based on the average dal balsnoe, we will use the dai periodic rate that
applies for the average dal balance amount at the end o the billing cycle to
calculate the day periodic finance charge each day.)
To get your total periodic finance charge for a billingQ cycle when a dairy
ppeeriodic rate(s) applies, we add all of the day periodic finonce charges for all
features. To determine an average daily balance, we add your dally balances
and dM by Me number of the days in Me applicable bllilng cycle(s). If you
muhipy tit avenge dally balance for each faeare by the applicable dally
periodic rite, an en multiply each of these resulte by te
h number of days
n the pplicebia biting cycle(s), and then add all ol the results together, the
lotel will also equal the periodic flnaha charge for Me dlina grin, except
forminor-0 done due torounding.Togetyourroilperiodicfinancecharge
for a billing cycle when a monthly periodic nY((a) ppit, multiply the
avenge daily balance for ach feature by the polcaok monthly periodic rate
and add the results together The total will equal the pedoalc finance charges
for the billing grin, except for minor veriatlons due to rounding.
Gate Period (d Intl 20 rips): We accrue periodic finance charges on a
transaction, fee, or finance charge from Me date it is added to your daily
balance until payment in fug is received on your account. However, we do not
charge periodic fiance onea on row purchases billed during a biting cycle
if we receive both payment rge of your New Balance on your current statement by
the date and time your payment its dire 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.
In addition, if there is a "Qualifying Promotional Financing' action on this
statement, 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. However, iIt yyou default under the tams of your
Cardmember Agreement or any Qualitying Promotional Financing offer, the
applicable periodic finance charges will accrue an Remaining Balance as
soon as the bllNng cycle in whim the deault occurs. To avoid finance charges
on new purchases when your New Balance includes any Remaining
Balance(s) in the Quail iPromotional Financing action, pay your full New
Balance minus the 117th ooe Remaioing Balance(s) by the date and time
your payment is due. However, If your statement shows that a minimum
payment is due, we must 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.
For "deferred Interest" Qualifying Promotional Financing, 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.
If a deferred interest Qualifying Promotional Finandna balance Is not pad in
full by the applicable Expiration Dab, the deferred finance charges will be
added to your account as soon as the tint day attar the Expiration Date.
Further, if you default under the terms of your CardmemberAgreement, the
defered finance charges will be added to your account as soon as the date of
default.
For "(head payment' Qualifying Promotional Financing that permits you to pay
fora purchase in a deagnabd number of payments, you will not haves grace
period for that balance as each payment includes a portion of the interest
owed over the repayment term for that purchase. However, you will have a
grace period on other new purchases as described above.

FINANCE CHARGES
Daily Periodic Rates and Annual Percentage Rater. Your annual percentage rates
('APRs') and the corresponding daily periodic rates are fisted 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 he right of the decimal point
Variable Rates: One or more APRs that applyto your account mayvarywith 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
WaGStmerdoumal 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 Wall Street Journal. If The Wall 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 Data shown on your billing statement, we see
what the Prime Rate is. We then add the applicable margin to that Prune Rate to get
the APR. The daily periodic rate is calculated as described above.
If our calculation results in a change to a dally periodic rate Irom the previous billing
cycle because the Prime Rate has changed, the new rate wig apply as of the first
day of your billing cycle that ends 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 Rates: Your APRs else, or any Other agreement you have with us f or any of ourrelated Compan i es 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 bythe 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.
11 any of these events occurs , we may increase the APRs (including any promotional

may consider the fol
rate stated lowing factors to
determine your default rate: the length of time your account has been open, the
existence, seriousness and timing of the defaults onyour 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 bitting cycle in which the default occurs.
If we decide not lr increase your APR even though there is a default Dr if we do not
increase your APR up to the maximum default rate stated in the Rates and Fees
Table, we reserve our right to increase your APR in the event of any future default.
We may in our discretion determine to charge reduced default rates or reinstate
standard rates for all or selected balances on your account
finance Charge-Calculation - Average Daily Balance Method (Including New
Transactionsk We calculate periodic finance charges separately for each balance
associatedtatfdtadifferetdcetegoryofiransactions fforexample, purchases, balance
transfers, balance transfer c=hecks, cash advances, cash advance checks, overdraft
advances, and each promotion). These calculations may combine different categories
with the some daily periodic rates. This is how it works:
We calculate periodic fmante charges for purchases, balance transfers, balance
transfer checks, cash advances, cash advance checks, and overdraft advances by
multiplying the daily balance for each of those categories bythe daily periodic rate
for each of those categories, each day. You may have overdraft advances only if
you have finked 1hfs.al:count to a checking account with one of out rebted banks.
We calculate the parfodiC finance charges for purchases, balance transfers, balance
transfer checks, cash advances, and cash advance checks subjeCtto a promotional
rate the same way, but we use the promotional rate.
To get the daily balance for each day for each category.
• We take the beginning balance for that day.
• We add to that balance any new transactions, fees, other charges, and debit
adjustments that apply to that category. We add a new purchase, cash advance,
balance transfer ar Overdraft advance, if applica ble, to the daily balance as of the
transaction date, or a later data of our choice. We add a new cash advance check
or balance transfer check to the daily balance as of the date the cash advance
check or balance transfer check is deposited by a payee, or a later date of our
choice.
• We subtract from that balance any payments, credits, or credit adjustments that
apply to that category and that are credited as of that day.
• We treat a credit balance as a balance of zero.
To get the beginning balance for each category for the next day, we add the daily
periodic finance charge to the daily balance. II more than one daily periodic rate
could apply to a category because the rate for the category may vary based on the
amourd of its average daily balance, we will use the daily periodic rate that applies
forthe average daily balance amount at the end of the billing cycle to calculate the
daily periodic finance charge each day. This agreement provides for daily
Compoundmg of finance charges.
To get the total periodic finance charge forthe billing cycle, we add all of the daily
periodic finance charges for each category for each day during that biling cycle.
Howeve% if any periodic finance charge is due, we will charge you at least the
minimum periodic finance charge stated in the Rates and Fees Table. If lt is necessary
to add an adddfonal amount to reach the minimum finance charge, we add that
amount to the balance for purchases made during the billing cycle.
The total finance charge on your aCCOunt for a billing cycle will be the sum of the
periodic finance charges plus any transaction fee finance charges.
For each categorywe calculate an overa ge daily balance (including new transactions)
for the billing cycle by adding all your daily balances and dividing,that amount by
the number of days in the billing cycle. If you multiply the average daily balance for
a categorybythe apolicable daily periodic rate, and muldplythe resultbythe number
f days in the billing cycle, the total Will equal the periodic finance charges for that
balance attributable to that billing cycle, exCept for minor variations due to rounding.
Grace Period and Accrual of Finance Charges: We accrue periodic finance charges
on a transaction, fee, orfinance charge from the date h is added to your daily balance
until payment in full is received on your account However,we do not charge periodic
finance charges on newpurchoses billed during a billing cycle if we receive payment
of your New Balance by the date and time your minimum payment is due and we
received payment of your New Balance on your previous billing statement by the
date and time Your payment was due. This exception or'grace period' applies only
to purchases and does rot applyto balance transfers, balance transfer checks, cash
advances, cash 3dyance checks or overdraft advances, it applicable.
