Set-up and Maintenance Fees	NOTICE: Some of these set-up and maintenance fees will be assessed before you begin using your card and will reduce the amount of credit you initially have available.

Variable Rate Information: Purchase Margin 14.20 percentage points; Cash Advance Margin 19.20 percentage points. Your APR for Purchases and Cash Advances may vary. The rate is determined by adding the appropriate margin shown to the Prime Rate*. If the Prime Rate* increases, your APR will increase accordingly, with no cap. An increase in your APR will result in an increase of your minimum payment amount.
*"Prime Rate" means the prime rate of interest published on the last business day of each month in The Wall Street Journal (or a comparable rate if The Wall Street Journal ceases publication).

Minimum Payment: All past-due amounts, any Annual Fee billed monthly, any Additional Card Fee billed monthly plus the greater of the following amounts: (i) 1% of your New Balance plus Late Fees, Cash Advance Transaction Fees, Over Limit Fees, Returned Payment Fees, and Interest Charges billed during the Billing Cycle for which the Minimum Payment is calculated, as shown on that periodic statement, rounded to the next-higher dollar; or (ii) $35. If the New Balance is less than $35, the Minimum Payment will be the total amount owed.
