FINANCE CHARGES
Daily Periodic Rates and Annual Percentage Rales: Your annual percentage rates
("APRs") and the corresponding dailyperiodic rates art- listed un the Rates and Fees
Table that is at the end of this document or provided separately. To get Iha daily
periodic rate we divide the APR by 3B5, and in effect always round up at the filth
placo to the right of The decimal point.
Variable Rates: One or more APRs that apply toyow account mayvary 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 Ilia Prime (late published in The
Wall Sirr. P.i.lairimltwo business days before the Closing Dale shown on your billing
statement. The "Prime Rate` is the highest (U.S.) Prime Rate published in the Money
Hates section of The Wall Siraet Journal. If The Wall Sire r. r dournal stops publishing
the Prime Rate, we will select a similar reference rate and inform you onyour billing
StaWmenl or Through a separate notice.
A "nnaryin" is the percentage we add to the Primp Rate to calculate ilia 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 fists the margin Tor
each variable rate and any minimum dally periodic rate and corresponding APR.
Two husiness days before the Closing Data shown oayourbilling stalemonl,we see
what the Prime Rate is. We then add line applicable margin to that Prime Rate to get
the APR. Thu daily periodic rate is ctilcrrlated as describer) above.
II our calculation results in a change in ;r daily periodic rate from Ilia previous billing
cycle because the Prime Rate has changed. Ilia new rate will apply as of flip first
day of your billing cycle that ends in the calendar month in which we made the
calculation. II the daily periodic rule increases, you will have to pay a higher periodic
finance change and may have to pay a higher minimum paynrrnl.
Default Rates: Your APlis also may vary if you are in default under this agreement
or any other ayracmrni you have with us or any of our related companies for any of
the IDllowing reasons:
We do nut receive, lot any payment that is owed ou this account or any other
account or loan %PAth us, at least the minimum payment due by the data 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 anyof these events occurs, we may increase the APRs (including anypmmotional
APR) un all balances (excluding overdraft advances) up to a maximonol the default
rate stated in the Rates and Fees Table. We may consider the following factors to
determine your default r;ne: the length of little ynur acr.nunl has been open, The
existence, seriousness and timing of the delaults on you account other indications
of your account usage and performance; information about your alit errelations hips
with us or any of our related companies; and information vvp obtain from consumer
credit reporls obtained from credit bureaus. The default rate will take effect as of
the lirst day of the billing cycle in which the default acr.urs.
If we decide not to increase your APR even though there is a default or H we do not
increase your APR up to Ilia maximum delimit rate stated in the Rates antl 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 deiault rates or reinstate
standard rates for all or selected balances on your account.
Finance Charge Calculation - Average Daily Balance Method (including New
Transactions): We calculate periodic finance charges separately der each balance
associated rnilh a different category of transactions (for example, purchases, balance:
transfers, balance transfer checks, cash advances, cash advance checks, overdraft
advances, and each prornotion).Those calculations Inaycombine diilerenl categories
with the same daily periodic rates. This is how it works:
We calculate periodic finance 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 by the daily periodic rate
for t:ach of Ihosp categories, each day. You may have overdraft advances only it
you have linked this nrrnunt to a checking account with one nl our related banks.
We calculate the periodic linance chartlCS IoT purchases, balance transfers, balance
transfer checks, cash advances, and cash advance checks subject,.) a prmnotional
rale• the same way, but we use the prunmlional rate.
To gel the daily balance for each day for each category
We take the beginning balance for that dey.
We add to that balance any new transactions, ices, other charges, and uehn
adjustments that apply to that catognry. We add a new purchase. cash- advance.
balance trunsfur or overdraft advance, if applicable, to thu daily balance ;:s Di the
transaction date., or a later date of nor rhrice. Wp 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.

periodic finance charges for each category for each day during that billing cycle.

Jpon searching the information data banks of the Department of Defense Manpower Data Center, based on the

Che Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) is an organization of the Department of Defense that maintains the
)efense Enrollment and Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database which is the official source of data on
;ligibility for military medical care and other eligibility systems.
Fhe DoD strongly supports the enforcement of the Service Members Civil Relief Act (50 USC App. §§ 501 et seq, as
unended) (SCRA) (formerly known as the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940). DMDC has issued hundreds
)f thousands of "does not possess any information indicating that the individual is currently on active duty" responses,
ind has experienced a small error rate. In the event the individual referenced above, or any family member, friend, or
epresentative asserts in any manner that the individual is on active duty, or is otherwise entitled to the protections of the
iCRA, you are strongly encouraged to obtain further verification of the person's status by contacting that person's
iervice via the "defenselink.mil" URL http://www.defenselink.mil/faq/pis/PC09SLDR.html. If you have evidence the
)erson is on active duty and you fail to obtain this additional Service verification, punitive provisions of the SCRA may
)e invoked against you. See 50 USC App. §521(c).
f you obtain additional information about the person (e.g., an SSN, improved accuracy of DOB, a middle name), you
;an submit your request again at this Web site and we will provide a new certificate for that query.
Chis response reflects active duty status including date the individual was last on active duty, if it was within the
)receding 367 days. For historical information, please contact the Service SCRA points-of-contact.
More information on "Active Duty Status"
kctive duty status as reported in this certificate is defined in accordance with 10 USC § 101(d)(1) for a period of more
han 30 consecutive days. In the case of a member of the National Guard, includes service under a call to active service
authorized by the President or the Secretary of Defense for a period of more than 30 consecutive days under 32 USC §
')02(f) for purposes of responding to a national emergency declared by the President and supported by Federal funds. All
kctive Guard Reserve (AGR) members must be assigned against an authorized mobilization position in the unit they
support. This includes Navy TARS, Marine Corps ARs and Coast Guard RPAs. Active Duty status also applies to a
Jniformed Service member who is an active duty commissioned officer of the U.S. Public Health Service or the

Zequest for Military Status Page 2 of
lational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Commissioned Corps) for a period of more than 30
:onsecutive days.
overage Under the SCRA is Broader in Some Cases
overage under the SCRA is broader in some cases and includes some categories of persons on active duty for purposes
,f the SCRA who would not be reported as on Active Duty under this certificate.
dany times orders are amended to extend the period of active duty, which would extend SCRA protections. Persons
;eeking to rely on this website certification should check to make sure the orders on which SCRA protections are based
lave not been amended to extend the inclusive dates of service. Furthermore, some protections of the SCRA may extend
o persons who have received orders to report for active duty or to be inducted, but who have not actually begun active
luty or actually reported for induction. The Last Date on Active Duty entry is important because a number of protectionE
>f SCRA extend beyond the last dates of active duty.
Chose who would rely on this certificate are urged to seek qualified legal counsel to ensure that all rights guaranteed to
iervice members under the SCRA are protected.
WARNING: This certificate was provided based on a name and SSN provided by the requester. Providing an erroneous
lame or SSN will cause an erroneous certificate to be provided.
