• YOUR ACCOUNT IS ISSUED BY CITIBANK (SOUTH DAKOTA), N.A.
• BALANCE SUBJECT TQ FINANCE CHARGE
TWO-CYCLE AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE (INCLUDING NEW TRANSACTIONS)-Method C. If the periodic rate
listed in the Finance Charge Summary Section of this statement is followed by a "C", we figure a portion of
the finance charge on your account each day by multiplying the dairy balance for each balance (e.g, each
purchase subject to promotional terms, other regular revolve credit plan purchases and other major pur-
chase plan purchases) by the applicable daily periodic rate. We do this each day of the billing period, includ-
ing the Closing Date. In addition, for each balance, we multiply the daily balance for each day of the previ-
ous billing period by the applicable daily periodic rate, unless your account was credited for the amount
required to get the grace period on purchases (described below in the section entitled the Grace Period on
Purchases) or a periodic finance charge was already billed on that balance. to gel the daily balance, we lake
the beginning balance for each balance every day, add any new purchases, fees, and any finance charge on
the previous day's balance, subtract any credits or payments credited as of that day, and make other adjust-
ments. A credit balance is treated as a balance of zero. The Balances Subject to Finance Charge are the aver-
ages of the respective daily balances during the applicable billing periods. If you multiply the current cycle
Balance Subject to Finance Charge by the number of days in the billing period and by the applicable daily
periodic rate, and you multiply the previous cycle Balance Subject ?o Finance Charge (if currently subject to
a finance charge) by the number of days in that billing period and by the applicable daily periodic rate, and
add those two figures together, the result will be the periodic finance charges assessed for that balance,
except for minor variations caused by rounding.
AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE ONCLtODING NEW TRANSACTIONS)-Method H. If the periodic rate listed in the
Finance Charge Summary Section of this statement is followed by a "H", we figure a portion of the finance
charge on your account each day by multiplying the daily balance for each balance ife.gi each purchase sub-
ject to promotional terms, other regular revolve credit plan purchases and other major purchase plan pur-
chases) by the applicable daily periodic rate. We do [his each day of the billing period, including the Closing
Dale. to gel the daily balance, we lake the beginning balance for each balance every day, add any new pur-
chases and any finance charge on the previous day's balance, subtract any credits or payments credited as
of that day, and make other adjustments. A credit balance is treated as a balance of zero. The Balances
Subject to Finance Charge are the averages of the respective daily balances during the billing period. If you
multiply this figure for each balance by the number of days in the billing period and by the applicable daily
periodic rate, the result will be the periodic finance charges assessed for that balance, except for minorvari-
ations caused by rounding.
AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE (INCLUDING NEW TRANSACTIONS}Method 1. If the periodic rate listed in the
Finance Charge Summary Section of this statement is followed by an "I", we use the following calculation
method. To get the Balance Subject to Finance Charge for each balance (e.g., each purchase subject to pro-
motional terms, other regular revolve credit plan purchases and other major purchase plan purchases) we
take the beginning balance for that balance every day (including finance charges imposed in previous billing
periods), add any new purchases, subtract any credits or payments credited as of that day, and make other
adjustments. A credit balance is treated as a balance of zero. This gives us the daily balance. We add up all
the daily balances for the billing period (including the balances on the Closing Dale) and divide by the total
number of days in the billing period. This gives us the Balance Subject to Finance Charge for that balance.
We figure a portion of your finance charge on transactions subject to this calculation method by multiply-
ing the applicable monthly periodic rate for that balance by the Balance Subject to Finance Charge (includ-
ing new transactions).
AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE (EXCLUDING NEW TRANSACTIONS)-Method K. If the periodic rate listed in the
Finance Charge Summary Section of this statement is followed by a "k", we use the following calculation
method. To get the Balance Subject to Finance Charge for each balance (e g.. each purchase subject to pro-
motional terms, other regular revolve credit plan purchases and other major purchase plan purchases) we
take the beginning balance for that balance every day and subtract any credits or payments credited as of
that day and any unpaid finance charges. We do not add in any new purchases. A credit balance is treated
as a balance of zero. This gives us the daily balance. We add up all the daily balances for the billing period
(including the balanceson the Closing Dale)and divide by the total number of days in the billing period. I his
gives us the Balance Subject to finance Charge for that balance We figure a portion of your linance charge
on transactions subject to this calculation method by multiplying the applicable monthly periodic rate for
that balance by the Balance Subject to Finance Charge (excluding new transactions).
AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE (INCLUDING NEW TRANSACTIONS)-Method L. If the periodic rate listed in the
Finance Charge Summary Section of this statement is followed by an "L", we use the following calculation
method. To get the Balance Subject to Finance Charge for each balance (e.g., each purchase subject to pro-
motional terms, other regular revolve credit plan purchases and other major purchase plan purchases) we
take the beginning balance for that balance every day, add any new purchases, and subtract any credits or
payments credited as of that day and any unpaid finance charges. A credit balance is treated as a balance
of zero. This gives us the daily balance. We add up all the daily balances for the billing period (including the
balances on the Closing Date) and divide by the total number of days in the billing period. This gives us the
Balance Subject to finance Charge for that balance. We figure a portion of your finance charge on transac-
tions subject to this calculation method by multiplying the applicable monthly periodic rate for that balance
by the Balance Subject to Finance Charge (including new transactions).
AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE (INCLUDING NEW TRANSACTIONS)-Method M. II the periodic rate listed in the
Finance Charge Summary of this statement followed by an "li we use the following calculation method.
We calculate periodic finance charges sep:4eiyforeach balanctBalances include regular purchases and
different promotional balances. To get a daily balance, we start with the balance as of the end of the previ-
ous day. We add any periodic finance charge on the previous days balance. (This results in daily compound-
ing of finance charges.) We add any new charges. We then subtract any new credits or payments and make
other adjustments. A credit balance is treated as a balance of zero. We figure the periodic finance charge by
multiplying the daily balance by its daily periodic rate. We do this for each day in the billing period. The
Balance Subject to Finance Charge is the average of the daily balances during the billing period. If you mul-
tiply this figure for each balance by its daily periodic rate and by the number of days in the billing period,
the result is the total periodic linance charge on that balance. Hounding may cause a small difference.
PROMOTIONS. We may offer you promotional terms for all or a part of arty balances. Any promotional terms
may apply Ior a limited period of time they will be governed by the terms of the promotional olfer and your
Card Agreement. they may include the No Interest, 0%, and tqual Payment Plan offers described below. Your

• No Interest No finance charges will be imposed on this balance if you pay the balance in full by the
end of the promotional period. We will impose finance charges on this balance if you do not pay the bal-
ance in full by the end of the promotional period or the promotional terms are terminated. We will
impose these finance charges from the date of purchase until the balance is paid in full. The promotion-
al offer will specify the amount of any minimum payment required on this balance.

GRACE PERIOD ON PURCHASES. You can avoid periodic finance charges on purchases. Ihis is called a grace
period on purchases. The grace period is at least 20 days. To get the grace period on purchases, pay the follow-
ing amounts by the due date every billing period:
• the New Balance, less any No Interest, 0% and Equal Payment Plan balances that expire after the pay-
ment due date, plus
• the minimum monthly payments required for your No Interest, D%, and Equal Payment Plan balances
that expire alter the payment due date.
II you do not, you will not get a grace period unless you pay the above amounts by the due date for two billing
periods in a row.

in addition to No Interest, 0% and Equal Payment Plan oilers, may also allow you to have a grace period on pur-
chases without having to pay all or a portion of the promotional balance by the due date. If either is the case,
the promotional offer will describe what happens.
