Each check you write will be paid with a check advance from your Account unless you are in default under this Agreement, as described in paragraph 23, "Termination and Acceleration", or in those circumstances described in paragraph 7, "Limitations on Use of Checks".

15. Periodic Statements. We will send you a periodic statement for all check advances made under this Agreement during the Draw Period and for all monthly payments due during the Repayment Period. The statement will show, among other things, payments and credits, check advances, FINANCE CHARGES, insurance, and other charges, your Previous Total Balance, and your New Total Balance. Your statement also will identify the Minimum Payment you must make for that billing period and the Payment Due Date. All periodic statements shall conclusively be considered to be correct and accepted by you unless we are notified in writing of any alleged errors within 60 days after receipt.
16. FINANCE CHARGES. You will pay a FINANCE CHARGE on the outstanding amount of the principal balance under your Credit Line, once each billing cycle during the Draw Period and the Repayment Period. The FINANCE CHARGE will begin to accrue on the date advances are posted to your Credit Line Account. There is no "grace period" which would allow you to avoid a FINANCE CHARGE on your Credit Line advances. FINANCE CHARGES do not accrue on any undischarged proceeds.
17. Method Used to Determine the Balance on Which the FINANCE CHARGE Will Be Computed. We figure the FINANCE CHARGE on your account by applying the daily periodic rate to the average daily balance of your Credit Line Account and then multiply by the number of days in the billing cycle. To get the average daily balance, we take the total beginning balance of your Credit Line Account each day and add new advances and subtract the principal portion of any payments and credits. The beginning balance for the period is the New Principal Balance amount from your previous statement. To determine the principal portion of a payment, subtract any unpaid FINANCE CHARGES, then insurance premiums (if any) and membership fees and other charges (if applicable). This gives us the daily principal balance each day. Then we add up all the daily principal balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle (the number of days since your last statement). This gives us the average daily balance. The average daily balance does not include FINANCE CHARGES, insurance premiums, membership fees or other charges.
18. How You May Compute the FINANCE CHARGES On Your Line of Credit Account. When the average daily balance has been computed, you multiply the average daily balance by the daily periodic rate which is arrived at by dividing the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE by the number of days in the year. The result is multiplied by the number of days in the billing cycle. This figure is the FINANCE CHARGE assessed for the billing cycle.
19. Periodic Rate and Corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE. We will determine the Periodic Rate and the corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE as follows. We start with an independent index, (the "Index"), which is The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, published daily in the listing of "Money Rates". We will use the Index value published on the last business day of each month for any ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE adjustment. If the Index is no longer available, we will choose a new Index and margin. The new Index will have an historical movement similar to the original Index and margin, and the new Index and margin will result in an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE that is substantially similar to the rate in effect at the time the original Index becomes unavailable. The index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by us on our loans. To determine the Periodic Rate that will apply to your Credit Line Account, we add a margin to the value of the Index, then divide the value by the number of days in a year (daily). To obtain the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE, we multiply the Periodic Rate by the number of days in a year (daily). This result is the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE includes only interest and no other costs.
The Periodic Rate and the corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE on your Credit Line will increase or decrease as the Index increases or decreases from time to time. Any increase in the Periodic Rate will take the form of higher payment amounts. Adjustments to the Periodic Rate and the corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE resulting from changes in the Index will take effect on the first day of the next billing cycle. The maximum ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE during the Draw Period of your Credit Line will be 21.000%. The maximum ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE during the Repayment Period of your Credit Line will be 21.000% or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. In no event will the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE be less than 2.500% during the life of your Credit Line. As of the last business day of the calendar month before the date of this Agreement, the Index was 8.000% per annum.
Based on that Index value, we estimate that the initial Periodic Rate and the corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE on
your Credit Line for the first billing cycle will be as stated below The initial Periodic Rate and corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE actually in effect during the first billing cycle which will be disclosed on your first periodic statement, may differ from these estimates if the Index changes between the date this Agreement was printed and the date you sign this Agreement
Margin Added to Index 0.750%
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 8.750%
Daily Periodic Rate 0.02397%
20. Fixed Rate Locks
a) General
During the Draw Period, subject to a $5,000 minimum and the other provisions of this Amendment, you (or any one of you) may lock some or all of your outstanding principal balance into a fixed ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (each, a "Lock") You may have up to 3 Locks outstanding at any time You cannot obtain a Lock if you are in default under the Agreement You may select a Lock term of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years, though we may also make other Lock terms available in our sole discretion, provided, however, the original Lock term cannot extend beyond the Maturity Date To obtain a Lock, we will require you to follow our standard procedure, which may include you signing a Lock request form Each Lock will be established at a monthly Lock payment that should fully pay off the principal balance of a Lock over the selected number of years in the Lock term at the fixed ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for the Lock (subject to c) and d) below), assuming all payments are received by us on their actual due dates The required payment on your Lock will include the amortization of the principal amount you request to be locked and the interest that will accrue on your Lock from the date we process your Lock until your next monthly billing cycle date
b) Lock Fees, Prepayment and Cancellation
We may charge you a non-refundable fee of up to $200 to establish each Lock Ask us for our current fee to establish a Lock We will include any fee to establish a Lock as part of the Minimum Payment shown on the first periodic statement that reflects the establishing of your Lock You may prepay a Lock in full any time without penalty if you follow our procedures to do so, but you cannot designate partial prepayments on a Lock
We may unilaterally cancel a Lock if you are in default under any material obligations of this Credit Line Account as provided in the Agreement, or if you are actively seeking payment assistance such as a loan modification on this Credit Line Account
If a Lock is canceled, we will transfer the unpaid principal balance of that Lock to the balance of your Credit Line that is subject to the variable (adjustable) ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE described in the Agreement (the variable rate Credit Line balance is the Unlocked Balance)
c) Determination of Lock Rate, Lock FINANCE CHARGE Accrual and Lock Payment Application Generally
The fixed ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE on a Lock will likely be higher than the then current variable (adjustable) ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE on the variable rate Credit Line balance The fixed ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE E for each Lock will be established at the time you request the Lock and will be the lesser of (i) the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE we are willing to offer you based on the Lock term, or (ii) the lesser of the maximum ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE E allowed by applicable law or the 21% maximum ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE set forth in this Agreement
Interest on your Lock(s) will accrue in the same manner as the interest on your Unlocked Balance as provided in the Agreement. Accrued and unpaid interest for your Lock(s) and your Unlocked Balances accrue in a single interest category and are not subdivided between interest on Locked and Unlocked Balances.
Except as expressly provided in this Paragraph, your monthly Lock payment will be applied in the same manner as provided in the Agreement for your Unlocked Balances.
d) Minimum Monthly Lock Payments, Application of Payments
Your periodic statement will show the total required Minimum Payment due for the billing cycle, including the monthly payment due on your Unlocked Balance and on your Lock(s) during the Draw Period and the Repayment Period. The required monthly Lock payment described in a) above will be in addition to the monthly payment on your Unlocked Balance calculated in accordance with the Agreement. We may include all fees, charges and costs you owe in connection with your Credit Line Account that are not part of your required monthly Lock payment in the monthly payment due on your Unlocked Balance (including, by way of example only, Lock fees, late fees, returned check fees, and Annual Fees).
If a payment is insufficient to cover the total required Minimum Payment due for the billing cycle, including the monthly payment due on your Unlocked Balance and on your Lock(s), we will apply the available payment first to accrued interest, and then to satisfy the principal payment due for the oldest outstanding balance segment on your Credit Line Account, whether Unlocked Balance or locked balances, until the payment is exhausted. Insufficient and late payments could result in a balloon payment due on the scheduled maturity date for each Lock or, if sooner, when the full amount owed on your Credit Line Account becomes due and payable under the Agreement.
If a payment is more than sufficient to cover the total required Minimum Payment due for the billing cycle, including the monthly payment due on your Unlocked Balance and on each of your Locks, we will apply such additional payment first to satisfy the unpaid principal for the outstanding balance segment on your Credit Line Account accruing interest at the highest rate before applying payments to the segment at the next highest rate.
e) Lock(s) and Your Credit Limit
Your available Credit Limit will be reduced by the unpaid principal amount owed on your Unlocked Balance and on your outstanding Lock(s). As you pay down the principal balance of your Unlocked Balance and of your Lock(s), your Credit Limit during the Draw Period is replenished by the amount of such principal reduction(s).
