Payment Due may be higher than shown on your billing statement See the Minimum Monthly Payment section on page 5.
Monthly Payment Options. You may at any time pay the entire New Balance shown on your billing statement, but each month you must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due as described in the
Minimum Monthly Payment section. All payments must be made in accordance with the terms, including the payment cutoff time, stated on your monthly billing statement, and we will credit your

provide your new Account Information to that merchant To ensure uninterrupted billing, vie recommend that you verify the merchant has your new Account information. You must oonfaet fine merchant
directly if you do not wish to continue the automatic billing arrangement
How We Apply Payments. We will apply payments and credits to the New Balance shown on your, current billing statement in order of the Annual Percentage Rate appli-cable to the balance of each
transaction category (as referenced in the Finance Charges section), generally from lowest to highest begin-nirg with the balance subject to the lowest Annual Per-certage Rate. We ten apply
payments and credits to any new transactions using the same method. However, we have the right to apply payments and credits to balances with higher Annual Percentage Rates prior to balances
with lower Annual Percentage Rates, such as when there are two initial special rates applicable to your Account and the lower Annual Percentage Rate will expire before the higher Annual Percentage
Rate.
Minimum Monthly Payment The Minimum Payment Due each month Wit be the greater of
• the New Balance if it is less than $15;
• $15 if the New Balance is $15 or more; or I
• any past due amount plus the greater of
2% of the New Balance (excluding current Periodic Finance Charges, Late and Ovedimit Fees) rounded up to the nearest dollar or
current Periodic Finance Charges plus Late and Overlimit Fees plus $15 (not to exceed 31/6 of the New Balance) rounded up to the nearest dollar.
We may also include some or all the amount by which you exceed your Account credit One. If more than 90% of your New Balance consists of special-rate balance transfers, we may, at our discretion,
increase your Minimum Payment Due to a maximum of 4°/u of the New Balance If it would otherwise be less than that We may subtract certain fees to calculate the Mini-mum Payment Due. The
Minimum Payment Due will never exceed the New Balance. Paying the Minimum Payment Due may be insufficient to bring your Account balance below your Account credit line and, consequently, may
not avoid the imposition of an additional Overtinit Fee described in the Overlinit Fee section.
Skip-A•Payment Offers. We may from time to time allow you to not make a minimum monthly payment and will notify you when this option is available. If you take advantage of this offer and do not
make a minimum monthly payment; finance charges and any applicable fees will accrue on your Account in accordance with this Agreement and you must pay the Minimum Payment Due for the
following billing periods.
Credit Balances. We will refund any credit balance within seven business days from receipt of your written request If you do not request a refund, we will auto-maticaly refund credit balances greater
than $1 that remain in your Account after 6 months.
FINANCE CHARGES
How We Calculate Periodic Finance Charges. We begin to impose Periodic Finance Charges on all transactions from the Transaction Date for the transaction as shown on your billing statement,
unless a transaction is posted to your Account after the close of thg billing period in which it occurs, in which case we begin to impose Periodic Finance Charges on that transaction from the first day of
the billing period in which it is posted to your Account We continue to impose Periodic Finance Charges until the date you pay your entire New Balance, by making payments or receiving credits.
However, if you paid the New Balance on your previous billing statement by the Payment Due Date shown on that billing statement and you pay the New Balance by the Payment Due Date on your
current billing statement, we will not impose Periodic Finance Charges on new purchases, that is, purchases first appearing on the current billing statement We call this the 'grace period." Then; is no
grace period on balance transfers or cash advances.
We sort your transactions into groups of purchases, cash advances, and balance transfers and then further sort the transactions within each group by their Annual Percentage Rate. For example,
purchases subject to a promotional rate and purchases subject to a standard rate would be separate groups. We referto these groups as transaction categories. At the end of each billing period, we
compute balances and Periodic Finance Charges for each day of the billing period for each transaction category. We use the following equation to compute Periodic Finance Charges for each
transaction category:
(Average Daily Balance) times (days in billing period) times 1
(Daily Periodic Rate).
(You may refer to the finance charge summary on your billing statement for these amounts.) Then we add up the Periodic Finance Charges for each transaction category to get the total Periodic
Finance Charges for your Account The Average Daily Balance is shown as zero 1, because of the grace period, no Periodic Finance Charges apply to the balance in a trans-action category.
How We Calculate Your Balances. We use the Average Daily Balance (including new transactions) method of calculating the balance upon which we impose Periodic Finance Charges. We compute
the Average Daily Balance for each transaction category by adding up all the daily balances in a billing period for a transaction category and dividing the total by the number of days in the billing period.
We compute the daily balance for each transaction category on each day by first adding the following to the previous days daily balance: transactions with a Transaction Date of that day as shown on
your billing statement, unless the transaction is posted to your Account after the close of the billing period in which it occurs, in which case the transaction will be added to the daily balance as of the first
day of the billing period in which it is posted to your Account, fees charged that day and Periodic Finance Charges accrued on the previous days daily balance; and by then subtracting any credits and
payments that are applied against the balance of the transaction category on that day. In calculating the daily balance for the first day of the billing period, we consider the 'previous days daily balance"
to have been your balance for each transaction category on the last day of your previous billing period.
All fees charged to your Account are added to the standard purchase
transaction category with the exception of Cash Advance Transaction Fee Finance Charges which are added to the applicable cash advance
transaction category and Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges which are added to the applicable balance transfer transaction category. When the special rate expires, we move the
unpaid balance of the balance transfer and the Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges to the standard purchase transaction category. However, if the special rate has been temtinated
under the Default Rate section, we leave the unpaid balance of the balance transfer and the Balance Transfer Transaction Fee Finance Charges in the applicable balance transfer transaction category
until the special rate would have expired.
Variable or Fixed Interest Rates. The Daily Perk Rate and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate that apply to each transaction category are either fixed rates or variable rates as set forth in your
Pricing Schedule or in any special offers you receive from us. The Daily Periodic Rate is 1 /365th of the corresponding Annual Percentage Rate. Variable Annual Percentage Rates are deter-mined by
adding a specified number of percentage points to the Prime Rate. This is shown on the Pricing Schedule as "Prime + (percentage points).' For purposes of this Agreement, the Prime Rate is the
highest rate of interest listed as the "prime rate" in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Joumal on the last business day of the month. The Prime Rate is merely a pricing index and does not
represent the lowest or best interest rate available to a borrower at any bank at any given time. If you have a variable rate, your Annual'Percentage Rate will increase or decrease when the Prime Rate
charges. This change will be effective beginning with the first day of the billing period that begins during the same month as the change in the Prune Rate. An increase in the Annual Percentage Rate
may increase your Minimum Payment Due.
od (each, a "Default Rate Bvenf ), we may increase
Default Rate. Each time you do not make a required payment on time or each time you exceed your Account credit line twice in a twelve month peri
the standard Annual Percentage Rates for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances to a variable rate equal to the Prime Rate + up to 27.99%0, but such rate will never exceed 29.9911, (the
"Default Rate"). At the same time, any special rates on purchases, balance transfers or cash advances will end and the Default Rate may apply. The maximum Default Rate which would currently apply
is set forth in your Pricing Schedule. We will base your Default Rate on factors such as:
• your current APRs
• your payment history with us
• your general credit history
Any increased rate will apply beginning with the first day of the billing period in which () we did rat receive at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date or (ti) you exceeded your
Account credit tine for the second time in a twelve month period. If your standard Annual Percentage Rate for purchases was Increased under this or airy previous version of the Default Rate section
and, for any nine consecutive billing periods thereafter another Default Rate Event does not occur, then your Annual Percentage Rate ftor your new purchases will be reduced to a lesser variable rate
