said fee, which may be charged to the credit line or on any available fund on the Card account. All fees paid
are non-refundable.
4.2 INTEREST. Every Payment Due Date of each billing cycle, I have the option to pay the Total Outstanding
Balance in full or the minimum amount due as indicated in my Statement of Account or any amount in
between. Interest will be charged if my payment by the Payment Due date is less than the Total Balance
Due, if no payment is made to the CARD by Payment Due Date, if a Cash Advance transaction has been
made. The interest will be imposed at the current interest rate on the (a) unpaid Cash Advance balance
(including interest charges and fees) from acquisition date until both the Cash Advance balance and its
related charges are paid in full; and (b) unpaid balance (inclusive of interest charges and fees) stated in the
previous Statement of Account computed from the Statement date until the current statement date.

Multiply the applicable monthly interest rate to previous day’s retail outstanding balance and deduct any
payment made during the same day, following the application of payments, and divide by 30. The interest
computed in (1) and (2) will be the total interest for the day on Retail balance. The retail interest for the
month is the sum of the interest for each day from the day after the previous statement date to the current
statement date. For Cash Advance transaction (1) Multiply the applicable interest rate to Cash Advance
availments and its related non-interest fees and charges for the date and divide it by 30. (2) Multiply the
applicable monthly rate to previous day’s cash advance outstanding balance and deduct any payments made
during the same day, following the application of payments, and divide it by 30. The interest computed in
steps 1 and 2 will be the total interest for the day on cash advance. The cash advance outstanding balance
