The Default APR may be applied to all new and outstanding balances with Variable APRs then below the Default APR. If a Default APR is applied to your account, then all APRs, including APRS then at or above the Default APR, will no longer vary. 2 The U.S. Prime Rate used to determine your APRs for each billing cycle is the highest rate appearing in The Wall Street Journal on the last publication date of the calendar month that ends within that billing cycle. On March 30, 2007, the U.S. Prime Rate was 8.25%.If your account has balances with different APRs, payments are applied to the balance with the lowest APR before any payments are applied to balances with higher APRs. This means that balances with higher APRs are not reduced until balances with lower APRs have been paid off. 3 The Introductory APR does not apply to Bank and ATM Cash Advances or online Direct Deposits. When a Promotional Period ends, the Standard Variable APR for your account is calculated using the Variable-Rate Information and is applied to new and outstanding balances (consisting of Purchases, Balance Transfers, non-online Direct Deposits, and Check Cash Advances).

The current Standard Variable APR for non-online Direct Deposits and Check Cash Advances posted on and after August 11, 2007 and after the end of the Promotional Period is 24.24% for all accounts. These rates may vary. We reserve the right to change the APRs in our discretion, including, for example, the margins. ■ The number of days between your statement Closing Date and your Payment Due Date (the grace period) may vary from one Billing Cycle to another. 4 We include Transaction Fees when computing finance charges.
