Periodic Rate Finance Charges on certain transactions or balances. There is no Grace Period for
Balance Transfers and Cash Advances. if you pay in full this statement's New Balance Total by
its Payment Due Date and if you paid in IN this statement's Previous Balance in this statement's
billing cycle, theft you will have a Grace Period during the billing cycle that began the day after
this statement's Closing Date on the Purchase portions of this statement's New Balance Total.
During a 0`5o Promotional Rate Offer: l) no Periodic Rate Finance Charges accrue on
balances with the 0% Promotional Rate; and 2) you must pay the Total Minimum Payment
Due by its Payment Due Date (anti avoid any other "promotion turnoff event" as defined in
your Credit Card Agreement) to maintain the 0% Promotional Rare.
* * If a corresponding Annual Percentage Rate in the Finance Charge Schedule on the front
of this statement contains a "* *" symbol, then with respect to those balances. l) the 0%
Promotional Rate will expire at the end of the next billing cycle, and 2) you must pay this

CALCULATION OF BALANCES SUBJECT TO FINANCE CHARGE
Average Balance Method (including new Balance Transfers and new Cash Advances):
We calculate separate Balances Subject to Finance Charge for Balance Transfers, Cash Advances,
and for each Promotional Offer balance consisting of Balance Transfers or Cash Advances. We
do this by: (1) calculating a daily balance for each day in this statement's billing cycle- (2)
calculating a daily balance for each day, prior to this statement's billing cycle that Q a "Pre-
Cycle balance" -a Pre-Cycle balance is a Balance Transfer or Cash Advance with a transaction
date prior to this statement's billing cycle but with a pelting date within this statement's billing
r, and (4) dividing the sum of the daily balances by
z le; (3) adding all the daily balances %bicycle.
the number of days in this statement s To calculate the daily balance for evinthis statement's bill* cycle, we take the
beginning balance, add an amount equal to the applicable Daily Periodic Rate multiplied by the
previous day's daily balance, add new Balance Transfers, new Cash Advances and and
Transaction Fees, and subtract applicable payments and credits. If any daily balance is less than
zero we treat it as zero.
To calculate a daily balance for each day prior to this statement's billing cccle that had a Pre-
Cycle balance, we take the beginning balance attributable solely to Pre-Cycle balances (which
will be zero on the transaction date of the first Pre-Cycle balance), add an amount equal to the
applicable Daily Periodic Rare multiplied by the previous day's daily balance, and add only the
applicable Pre-Cycle balances, and their related Transaction Fees. We exclude from this
calculation all transactions posted in previous billing cycles.
Average Daily Balance Method (including new Purchases): We calculate separate Balances
Subject to Finance Charge for Purchases and for each Promotional Offer balance consisting of
Purchases. We do this by: (1) calculating a daily balance for each day in the billing cycle; (2)
adding all the daily balances together; and (3) dividing the sum of the daily balances by the
number of days in the billing cycle.
PAYMENTS
We credit payments as of the date received, if the payment is 1) received by 5 p.m.
(Eastern Time), 2) received at the address shown in the bottom left-hand comer of the front
of this statement, 3) paid with a check drawn in U.S. dollars on a U.S. financial institution or
a U.S. dollar money order; and 4) sent in the enclosed retum envelope with only the bottom
portion of this statement accompanying it. Payments received after 5 p.m. on any day
including the Payment Due Date, but that otherwise meet the above requirements, will be
credited as of the next day. We will reject payments that are not drawn in U.S. dollars and
those drawn on a financial institution located outside of the United States. Credit for any
other payments may be delayed up to five days. No payment shall operate as an accord and
satisfaction without the prior written approval of one of our Senior Officers.
We process most payment checks electronically by using the information found on your
check. Each check authorizes us to create a one-time electronic funds transfer (or process it
as a check or paper draft). Funds may, be withdrawn from your account as soon as the
same day we receive your payment. Checks are not returned to you. For more information
or to stop the electronic funds transfers, call us at the number fisted on the front.
If you have authorized us to pay your credit card bill automatically from your savings or
checking account with us, you can stop the payment on any amount you think is wrong. To
stop the payment your letter must reach us at least three business days before the automatic
payment is scheduled to occur:
To calculate the daily balance for each day in this statement's billing cycle, we take the
beginning balance, add an amount equal to the applicable Daily Periodic Rate mailtipllcd by the
previous day's daily balance, add new Purchases new Accxnint Fees and new Transaction Fees,
and subtract applicable payments and
sho credits. If any daily balance is less than zero we treat it as
zero. If the Previous Balance wn on this statement was paid in full in this statement's billing
cycle, then on die day after that payment in full date, we exclude from the beginning balance
new Purchases, new Acccwnt Fees, and new Transaction Fees which posted on or before that
payment in full date, and we do not add new Purchases, new Account Fees, or new Transaction
Fees which post after- that payment in full date.
We include the costs for the credit card debt cancellation plan or credit insurarice purchased
through us in calculating the beginning balance for the fast day of the billing cycle after the
billing cycle in which such tests are billed.
TOTAL PMiIODiC RATE MANCE CHARGE COMKffATKIN
Periodic Rate Finance Charges acute and are compounded on a daily basis. To determine
the Periodic Rate Finance Charges, we multi pl each Balance Subject to Finance Charge by its
applicable Daily Periodic Rate and that result liy the number of days in the billing cycle. To
determine the total Periodic Rate Finance Charge for the billing cycle, we add the Periodic Rate
Finance Charges together. Each Daily Periodic Rate is calculated by dividing its corresponding
Annual Percentage Rate by 365.
HOW WE ALLOCATE YOUR PAYMENTS
We will allocate your payments in the manner we determine. In most instances, we will
allocate your payments to balances (including transactions made after this statement) with lower
APRs before balances with higher APRs. This will result in balances with lower APRs (such as
new balances with promotional APR offers) being paid before any other existing balances.
Papnont Due Dates and Keeang Yaw Account In Good 9boxAM
Your Payment Due Date will not fall on the same day each month. In order to help maintain
any promotional rates, to avoid the imposition of Default Rates (if applicable), to avoid late fees,
and to avoid overlimit fees, we must receive at least the Total Minimum Payment Due by its
Payment Due Date each billing cycle and you must maintain your account balance below your
Credit Limit each day.
Important Infouynation about Payments by Phone
When using the optional Pay-b -Phone service, you authorize us to initiate an electronic
payment from your account at the financial institution you designate. You must authorize the
amount and timing of each payment. For your protection, we will ask for security information.
A fee may apply. To cancel, call its before the scheduled payment date. Same-day payments
cannot be edited or canceled.

LYNCH FRANKLIN Based on the information you have furnished, the DMDC does
Rot possess any information indicating the individual status.
Upon searching the information data banks of the Department of Defense Manpower
Data Center, based on the information that you provided, the above is the current status
of the individual as to all branches of the Uniformed Services (Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, Air Force, NOAA, Public Health, and Coast Guard).
Mary M. Snavely-Dixon, Director
Department of Defense - Manpower Data Center
1600 Wilson Blvd., Suite 400
Arlington, VA 22209-2593
The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) is an organization of the Department of
Defense that maintains the Defense Enrollment and Eligibility Reporting System
(DEERS) database which is the official source of data on eligibility for military medical
care and other eligibility systems.
The DoD strongly supports the enforcement of the Service Members Civil Relief Act (50
USC App. §§ 501 et seq, as amended) (SCRA) (formerly known as the Soldiers' and
Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940). DMDC has issued hundreds of thousands of "does not
possess any information indicating that the individual is currently on active duty"
responses, and has experienced a small error rate. In the event the individual referenced
above, or any family member, friend, or representative asserts in any manner that the
individual is on active duty, or is otherwise entitled to the protections of the SCRA, you
are strongly encouraged to obtain further verification of the person's status by contacting
that person's Service via the "defenselink.mil" URL
http://www.defenselink.mil/faq/?is/PC09SLDR.html. If you have evidence the person is
on active duty and you fail to obtain this additional Service verification, punitive
provisions of the SCRA may be invoked against you. See 50 USC App. §521(c).

Request for Military Status
Page 2 of 2
If you obtain additional information about the person (e.g., an SSN, improved accuracy
of DOB, a middle name), you can submit your request again at this Web site and we will
provide a new, certificate for that query.
This resporise reflects active duty status including date the individual was last on active
duty, if it was within4he preceding 367 days. For historical information, please contact
the Service SCRA points-of-contact.
More information on "Active Duty Status"
Active duty status as reported in this certificate is defined in accordance with 10 USC §
101(d)(1) for a period of more than 3 0 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
§ 502(f) for purposes of responding to a national emergency declared by the President
and supported by Federal funds. All Active 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 Uniformed Service member who is an active duty commissioned officer of
the U.S. Public Health Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA Commissioned Corps) for a period of more than 30 consecutive days.
Coverage Under the SCRA is Broader in Some Cases
Coverage under the SCRA is broader in some cases and includes some categories of
persons on active duty for purposes of the SCRA who would not be reported as on Active
Duty under this certificate.
Many times orders are amended to extend the period of active duty, which would extend.
SCRA protections. Persons seeking to rely on this website certification should check to
make sure the orders on which SCRA protections are based have not been amended to
extend the inclusive dates of service. Furthermore, some protections of the SCRA may
extend to persons who have received orders to report for active duty or to be inducted,
but who have not actually begun active duty or actually reported for induction. The Last
Date on Active Duty entry is important because a number of protections of SCRA extend
beyond the last dates of active duty.
Those who would rely on this certificate are urged to seek qualified legal counsel to
ensure that all rights guaranteed to Service members under the SCRA are protected.
WARNING: This certificate was provided based on a name and SSN provided by the
requester. Providing an erroneous name or SSN will cause an erroneous certificate to be
provided.
