1The Default Rate will depend on the risk estimated for your account. Your account will be considered in default if the minimum payment for your account is not received on or before the payment due date during two (2) consecutive billing periods; or if you pay after the due date twice within a period of twelve (12) months. As a result, the APR applicable may be increased to an APR equivalent to the Prime Rate added to a margin of up to 25.99%, with a minimum APR of 29.99%.

In addition, your account may be considered in default if the minimum payment of your account is not received on or before the payment due date two (2) times during a twelve (12) month period. As a result, the APR applicable may be increased a maximum of 6%.

Once the account becomes current and six (6) consecutive minimum payments are received on or before the payment due date, the APR will be restored to the current regular rate.

2For each billing period we use the highest Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal, within that billing period. The variable rates illustrated are based on a Prime Rate of 3.25% in effect since December 17,2008.

Returned Check Fee: $10
