The unpaid principal balance on the Account is not to exceed the Credit Limit. If you request the Credit limit to be extended either permanently or temporarily, we have no obligation to do so; however, we may make such an extension if we choose without giving up any of our rights, and it does not mean that we have to honor other uses which would cause your Credit Limit to be exceeded. From time to time, we may permanently increase or decrease the Credit Limit and/or require down payment as we deem appropriate.

4. SECURITY INTEREST IN PURCHASES: You have granted us a purchase money security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in all merchandise charged to the Account. If an event of default occurs, this security interest allows us or our assignee to repossess only the merchandise which you have not paid in full. You are responsible for any loss or damage to the purchased merchandise until the price is fully paid. Any payments you make will first be used to pay the first expiring promotional balances, if any, then any fees, then unpaid FINANCE CHARGES, and then to pay for the earliest purchase on the Account. If more than one item is purchased on the same date, your payment will first apply to the lowest price item.

If you default, we may take possession of the merchandise charged to the Account, sell it and apply the proceeds to the unpaid Account balance. You will pay our expenses in taking possession of and selling the merchandise. If the proceeds are not enough to pay those expenses, along with unpaid Account balance you remain liable for and must pay the difference. You are entitled to any excess if the proceeds are more than you owe us.

5. PAYMENT:If you have a balance we will send a periodic billing statement (unless not required to do so by Regulation Z. truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. 1610), as amended) to the person whose name first appeared on the Account Application as "Applicant", unless a change has been requested by an Accountholder. You agree to pay for all purchases, FINANCE CHARGES, fees and charges due on the Account until paid in full and to make all payments by check or money order (if you make your payments using another credit card accepted by us there will be additional charge of $2.00 or 5% of the payment amount whichever is more) to us at the location specified on your periodic billing statement in U.S. Dollars payable through a U.S. financial institution. Application of payment will be at our discretion, but always in such manner as to be consistent with the error resolution procedures described herein.

The minimum payment will be 5% of the outstanding balance on the account or $25.00, whichever amount is greater. If your account is past due, you must pay your past due amount which will be in addition to your monthly minimum payment. If balance on your account is less than $25.00, your minimum payment will be the remaining balance on your account. You must pay the minimum monthly payment as shown on your monthly billing statement. However, not receiving a statement does not exempt you from making your minimum payment every month. Payment greater than the minimum periodic amount or additional payments may be made at any time without prepayment penalty but shall not relieve you of your obligation to pay the next succeeding periodic payment(s). We can accept late or partial payments, as well as payments that are marked "paid in full" or with other restrictive endorsements, without losing any of our rights under this Agreement.

We may advance any such tax charge or fee and any penalties or interest thereon for you and add said amount to the Account balance.

7. COMPUTATION OF FINANCE CHARGES:

A. FINANCE CHARGES: If a Finance charge is imposed, we apply the monthly periodic rate of 1.75% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 21%) to the average daily balance. No FINANCE CHARGES on purchases charged to the account will be calculated if the "New Purchase Balance" shown on the periodic statement is paid in full on or before the "Payment Due Date" shown on the periodic statement. If you do not pay the full amount of "New Purchase Balance" on or before the "Payment Due Date" FINANCE CHARGES are calculated on the "Average Daily Balance" shown on the periodic statement from the date posted on the Account until paid in full. FINANCE CHARGES that accrue after the "Statement Date" will appear on the next periodic statement.

B. FINANCE CHARGE CALCULATION ON SPECIAL PURCHASE PROGRAMS - In the event that we offer to you a Special Purchase Program in accordance with Paragraph 25 of this Agreement, the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE applied to your Account may be reduced in accordance with the specific terms of the particular Special Purchase Program.

C. FINANCE CHARGES CALCULATION ON ACCOUNTS THIRTY DAYS PAST DUE OR MORE- In the event that your Account is deemed by us to be thirty (30) days or more past due on any given cycle date, we have the right to impose on your Account during the entire succeeding billing cycle a FINANCE CHARGE at maximum rate allowed by the law.

D. COMPOUNDING OF UNPAID FINANCE CHARGES: You agree that in each billing cycle the unpaid Periodic Rate Portion of FINANCE CHARGES accruing in the prior billing cycle as the result of Purchases will be added to the outstanding balance as a Purchase. Thus, unpaid FINANCE CHARGES will be subject to, and will be included in the calculation of, new FINANCE CHARGES, and will reduce the amount of the available Credit Limit

E. BALANCE COMPUTATION METHOD: We figure FINANCE CHARGES on the Account by applying the periodic rate to the "Average Daily Principal Balance" of the Account (including current transaction if there is an existing purchase principal balance). The "Average Daily Balance" is calculated for purchases by totaling each day's "Daily Purchase Balance" and dividing the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. The Daily Purchase Balance is calculated by (1) taking the daily beginning balance of previous purchases (including unpaid FINANCE CHARGES, unpaid fees and unpaid insurance premiums, as applicable), (2) subtracting payments and credit adjustments, then (3) adding new purchases, FINANCE CHARGES, fees, insurance premiums, as applicable, and debit adjustments (except FINANCE CHARGES, fees and insurance premiums, as applicable, assessed on the statement date which will not be included in the calculation until the next business day).
