To determine the New Balance Total, we start with the total balance at the beginning of the billing cycle, which is the “Previous Balance.” Then we subtract payments and credits. Then we add Cash Advances, Purchases and Finance Charges. “Pay in Full” or “Paid in Full” means payments and credits in a billing cycle totaling at least your previous billing cycle’s New Balance Total. In general, Pay in Full must be made by the Payment Due Date in order to get a Grace Period.i i } $ “Promotional Rate” means a temporary APR that may be offered on a balance category for a designated time period, and may be subject to other conditions. “Purchase” means the use of your card or account number to: (1) buy or lease goods or services; (2) buy “Cash Equivalents” (i.e. foreign currency, money orders or travelers checks from a non-financial institution, or wire transters, out-of-network bill payments made through FIACS's online bill payment service, person to person money transfers, bets, lottery tickets, or casino gaming chips) from any seller other than a financial institution; and (3) make a transaction that is not otherwise a Cash Advance. “Purchase” includes Account Fees, as well as Transaction Fees and adjustments associated with any Purchase. “We,” “us,” “our,” and “FIACS" mean FIA Card Services, N.A., also known as Bank of America. “You” and “your” mean each and all of the persons who are granted, accept or use an account we hold. “You” and “your” also mean any other person who has guaranteed payment of this account, when used in the sections titled, Your Contract With Us, We May Monitor and Record Telephone Calls, and Arbitration and Litigation, and when used in each of the sections relating to payment of this account (e.g, Your Promise to Pay, and How We Allocate Your Payments).

CALCULATION OF PERIODIC RATE FINANCE CHARGES We calculate Periodic Rate Finance Charges for each balance category by multiplying its Balance Subject to Finance Charge by the applicable DPR and that result by the number of days in the billing cycle. 7. BILLING CYCLE Your billing cycle ends each month on a Closing Date determined by us. Each billing cycle begins on the day after the Closing Date of the previous billing cycle. Each monthly statement reflects a single billing cycle. 8. WHEN PERIODIC RATE FINANCE CHARGES BEGIN TO ACCRUE Each new Category A and Category B Cash Advance begins to accrue Periodic Rate Finance Charges on its transaction date. Category A and Category B balances remaining from previous billing cycles accrue Periodic Rate Finance Charges from the first day of the billing cycle. The transaction date for Check Cash Advances and Balance Transfers made by check is the date the check is first deposited or cashed. The transaction date for a returned payment (a Bank Cash Advance) is the date that the corresponding payment posted to your account. Unless subject to a Grace Period, each new Category C Purchase and each new Category D Other Balance begins to accrue Periodic Rate Finance Charges on its iransaction date or the first day of the billing cycle, whichever date is later. Unless subject to a Grace Period, Category C balances and Category D balances remaining from previous billing cycles accrue Periodic Rate Finance Charges from the first day of the billing cycle. When applicable, Periodic Rate Finance Charges accrue daily and compound daily on new balances, and balances remaining from previous billing cycles, in each balance category. Periodic Rate Finance Charges will continue to accrue even though you have paid the full amount of any related balances in a balance category because we include any accrued but unpaid finance charges in the calculation of the Balance Subject to Finance Charge. Your Payment Due Date will be at least 20 days from your statement Closing Date. 9, GRACE PERIOD See Supplement To The Notice Of Change In Terms on the enclosed statement for complete terms.40. CALCULATION OF BALANCES SUBJECT TO FINANCE CHARGE Categories A and B — Average Balance Method (including new Cash Advances) We calculate separate Balances Subject to Finance Charge for Category A balances and Category B balances. We calculate the Balance Subject to Finance Charge for each of these balance categories by: (1) calculating a daily balance for each day in the current billing cycle; (2) calculating a daily balance for each day prior to the current billing cycle that had a “Pre-Cycle Cash Advance” balance (a Pre-Cycle Cash Advance is a Cash Advance with a transaction date prior to the current billing cycle but with a posting date within the current billing cycle); (3) adding all the daily balances together, and (4) dividing the sum of the daily balances by the number of days in the current billing cycle. To calculate the daily balance for each day in the current bitling 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 Cash Advances 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 the current billing cycle that had a Pre-Cycle Cash Advance balance, we take the beginning balance attributable solely to Pre-Cycle Cash Advances (which will be zero on the transaction date of the first Pre-Cycle Cash Advance), add an amount equal to the applicable Daily Periodic Rate multiplied by the previous day’s daily balance, and add only the applicable Pre-Cycle Cash Advances, and their related Transaction Fees. We exclude from this calculation all transactions posted in previous billing cycles. Categories C and D — Average Daily Balance Method (including new transactions) See Supplement To The Notice Of Change In Terms on the enclosed statement for complete terms. 11. MINIMUM FINANCE CHARGE See Supplement To The Notice Of Change In Terms on the enclosed statement for complete terms. 12, TRANSACTION FEE FINANCE CHARGES See Supplement To The Notice Of Change In Terms on the enclosed statement for complete terms. 13, ACCOUNT FEES See Supplement To The Notice Of Change In Terms on the enclosed statement for a complete list of fees. 14, OVERDRAFT PROTECTION if your checking account with Bank of America is linked to this account, this overdraft protection feature will allow funds to be transferred (“overdraft protection transfers”) from this account into your designated checking account with Bank of America(‘checking account") when transactions occur on your checking account, such as checks or other debits, that if paid would cause the checking account to be overdrawn (“overdraft transactions”). Overdraft protection transfers include automatic transfers to cover checking account fees. Overdraft protection transfers are processed after close of business Monday through © Friday and are treated as Category B Cash Advances. Each day's overdraft transactions will be totaled and rounded to the next $100 ($25 if you opened your checking account in Washington or Idaho} increment up to your available credit limit, regardless of who initiated the overdraft transactions. For example, if your checking account has a balance of $1.00 and a check or other debit item for $125 is presented for payment, which if paid would cause your checking account to be overdrawn, an overdraft protection transfer of $200 will be made to your checking account and a Bank Cash Advance of $200 will post to this account. The amount of available credit on this account must be sufficient to cover the total amount of overdraft transactions (received by Bank of America that day) rounded to the next $100 increment (but excluding any overdraft protection fee); otherwise one or more of the overdraft transactions for that day will be rejected. However, if the available credit on this account is greater than the overdraft transaction amount, but the available credit is insufficient for the overdraft transaction amount to be rounded to the next $100 increment, then the amount of the overdraft transaction will be rounded to the highest whole dollar amount of your available credit. (And in such an event, the accrued finance charges may result in an Overiimit Fee.) We may permit or refuse to permit any overdraft protection transfer that would cause you to exceed the credit limit on this account; but if we permit it, you may be assessed an Overlimit Fee during the billing cycle in which the transfer occurs. This overdraft protection feature will automatically be cancelled if this account is closed by either you or us, or at any time upon your request. Your overdraft transactions remain subject to the terms of your checking account with Bank of America, any related enrollment agreement, and this Agreement. 15. SIGN YOUR CARD You should sign your card before you use it. 16.
