How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called "average daily balance (including new purchases)". See your Card
Regulations for more details.
Billing Rights: Information on your rights to dispute transactions and how to exercise those rights is provided in your Card Regulations.
Loss of Introductory APR: We may end your introductory APR and apply the Annual Percentage Rate for purchases if you make a late
payment.
How We Will Calculate Your Variable APRs: The APR will be determined separately for each monthly statement and any increase or
decrease will take effect on the first day of the billing cycle in which the change occurs. The APR in effect for each billing cycle will be equal to
the Prime Rate plus 14.74 percentage points. "Prime Rate" means the highest Prime Rate published in the "Money Rates" table in the Wall
Street Journal on the 15th calendar day of each month, or if no rate is published on the 15th, then on the next succeeding calendar date on
which a Prime Rate is published. An increase in Prime Rate will increase the APR and the Monthly Periodic Rate applied to your account. The
annual percentage rate and monthly periodic rate will not change more often than once per month. You can call 1-800-445-9272 for the current
actual rate. Any increase or decrease in the annual percentage rate and the monthly periodic rate will cause the interest charge on your
account to increase or decrease accordingly, and may cause your minimum payment due to increase or decrease.
Prime Rate: Variable APRs are based on the 3.25% Prime Rate as of March 15, 2014
A: The initial monthly periodic rate applied to your account under this agreement will be 0.00% for six statement cycles after account opening.
Upon completion of the sixth statement cycle the Monthly Periodic Rate applied to your account under this agreement is estimated to be
1.499%
B: We add 14.74% to the Prime Rate to determine the Purchase/Balance Transfer APR (monthly periodic rate currently 1.499%).
C: We add 14.74% to the Prime Rate to determine the Cash Advance APR (monthly periodic rate currently 1.499%).

during the billing cycle covered by a monthly billing statement if the new balance is paid in full by
the payment due date shown on such statement and if the new balance on the monthly billing
statement immediately preceding such statement was paid in full by its payment due date. If the
new balance on the monthly billing statement immediately preceding the current monthly billing
statement was not paid in full by its payment due date, or if the new balance on the current
monthly billing statement is not paid in full by the payment due date, an interest charge will be
imposed on Cardholder's account. Interest charges will be applied on the next statement date for
any monthly billing statement that interest charges are imposed. Interest charges will be
calculated according to the "average daily balance" method (paragraph 14(b)). Interest charges
begin to accrue on cash advances as of the date of the advance. Interest charges begin to
accrue on credit checks and credit life insurance premiums on the day they are posted to the
account. Interest charges begin to accrue on purchases as of the transaction date.

charge on Cardholder's account by applying the monthly "periodic rate" to the "average daily
balance" of Cardholder's account (including current transactions). To get the "average daily
balance," Bank will take the beginning balance of the account each day and add any new
purchases (if subject to interest charges as explained above), cash advances (including credit
checks) and credit life insurance premiums and subtract any payments or credits and unpaid
