Effective with your June, 1998 Billing Cycle: We figure Finance Charges on your Account at the end of each billing cycle by effectively applying a daily periodic rate to the Average Daily Balance on your Account for each day of the current billing cycle. We calculate the Average Daily Balance on your Account using a Two Cycle Average Daily Balance method. The Average Daily Balance is calculated separately for Current Rate purchases and for each Special Purchase program. "Current Rate" purchases are regular revolving rate purchases which are not made under a Special Purchase Program. The Average Daily Balance for Current Rate purchases and/or each Special Purchase Program is the sum of the Daily Balances during the current billing cycle divided by the total number of days in the current billing cycle. Additionally, effective with your June, 1998 Billing Cycle, if no Finance Charges were imposed on new purchases in the previous billing cycle, the sum of the Daily Balances during the previous cycle divided by the total number of days in the previous billing cycle will be added to the Average Daily Balance. The Daily Balance for Current Rate purchases and for purchases made under a Special Purchase program is calculated by (i) taking the beginning balance each day (including unpaid Finance Charges, fees and insurance premiums, as applicable), (ii) subtracting any payments, or credit adjustments, then (iii) adding new purchases, Finance Charges, fees, debit adjustments and insurance premiums, (as applicable). We will also add periodic Finance Charges calculated on the prior day's Daily Balance. 3. Computation of Finance Charges: Finance Charge Calculation: You will receive 90 days deferred interest on the first transaction made on this Account. No Finance Charges will be incurred if you pay the amount of your first purchase in full on or before three (3) monthly billing cycles from the date of purchase. The minimum periodic payment amount must still be made each month. If the first purchase amount is not paid in full by the payment due date set forth in the third (3rd) monthly billing statement, Finance Charges on the "Average Daily Balance" amount shown on the periodic statement will be calculated from the date of the purchase until paid in full. Finance Charges which accrue after the "Statement Date" will appear on the next periodic statement. Following the first purchase, no Finance Charges on purchases charged to the Account will be calculated if the "New Balance" shown on the periodic statement is paid in full on or before the "Payment Due Date" shown on the periodic statement. However, if you have a promotional balance from a Special Purchase Program described in paragraph 12 of your full Agreement you receive with your credit card, payments made by you during the promotional period will be applied to any promotional balance on your Account before being applied to any portion of your "New Balance" from Current Rate purchases. In this case, you must pay your entire outstanding balance, including any promotional balance, during the first billing cycle following the promotional purchase in order to avoid Finance Charges on Current Rate purchases. If you do not pay the full amount of the "New Balance" on or before the "Payment Due Date", Finance Charges are calculated on the "Average Daily Balance" shown on the periodic statement from the transaction date until paid in full. "Finance Charge" which accrue after the "Statement Date" will appear on the next periodic statement. Your Finance Charges will be a total of each days "Average Daily Balance" multiplied by the Monthly Periodic Rate. The Monthly Periodic Rate is equal to 1/12th of the Annual Percentage Rate. The Monthly Periodic Rate and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate use to compute the Finance Charge will be a variable rate. This means that the Monthly Periodic Rate and Annual Percentage Rate may vary monthly. The change will be effective as of the day after the last periodic statement of each calendar month and will be calculated by adding Fourteen and 73/100 percent (14.73%) to the "Prime Rate" published in the "Money Rates" section of the Wall Street Journal ("Index") on the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month (or the next business day if the 15th day falls on a weekend or holiday). If the index is no longer published or if there is a material change in the index, Bank One may choose and alternative interest rate index which is based on comparable information. Bank One will notify you in writing of such alternative Index. At no time will the Annual Percentage Rate be less than 21.98% (monthly periodic rate of 1.831% daily periodic rate of .0602% or more than 23.98%(monthly periodic rate of 1.998%, daily periodic rate of .0657%) for all transaction amounts except as provided for delinquent Accounts in Paragraph 11B of your full disclosure statement you'll receive with your credit card, Annual Percentage Rate means that you may pay a larger Finance Charge and minimum payment and a decrease means you may pay a smaller Finance Charge and minimum payment. Each change in the periodic rate or the corresponding Annual Percentage Rate will apply to any outstanding balance on the effective date as well as to future transactions. As of January 1, 1998, the Monthly Periodic Rate was 1.936%, the Daily Periodic Rate was .0636% and the Annual Percentage Rate was 23.23%. Effective with your June, 1998 billing cycle you will receive 90 days deferred interest on all purchases of $300.00 or greater. No Finance Charges will be incurred if you pay the amount of a purchase $300.00 or greater in full on or before three (3) monthly billing cycles from the date of purchase. The minimum periodic payment amount must still be made each month. Finance Charges will be calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth in paragraphs 3 above, except that wherever the words "Monthly Periodic Rate" appear, they are replaced with the words "Daily Periodic Rate." The Daily Periodic Rate is equal to 1/365th of the Annual Percentage Rate. All Daily Periodic Rates that apply to your Account are stated in the above paragraphs. 4.
