Interest Charges We calculate a Daily Balance for your Account. We may maintain separate balances for your Purchases and special promotional Purchase balances (each, a “Balance Type”) and calculate a Daily Balance for each. To determine the Daily Balance for a Balance Type, each day we take the beginning balance for the Balance Type, add any new charges included in that Balance Type, and subtract any payments and credits applied to that Balance Type. We then multiply the resulting balance by the applicable Daily Periodic Rate. The resulting daily Interest Charge is included in the beginning balance of that Balance Type for the next day. Purchases are included in the Daily Balance as of the later of the transaction date or the first day of the billing period in which the Purchase is posted to the Account. Fees are included in the Daily Balance of Purchases when posted to the Account. We figure the Interest Charge on your Account for each Balance Type by multiplying your Daily Balance of each Balance Type by the applicable Daily Periodic Rate for each day in the billing cycle. At the end of the billing period, we will add up the daily Interest Charges on all Balance Types for each day in the billing period to get the total Interest Charge for the billing period. Interest Charges begin to accrue on Purchases as of the day the Purchase is included in the Daily Balance. However, if you paid the New Balance that was shown on your previous billing statement by the Payment Due Date on that statement, then (1) we will not impose Interest Charges on Purchases during your current billing period if you pay the New Balance shown on your current billing statement by the Payment Due Date on that statement, and (2) we will credit any payment (to the extent the payment is applied toward Purchases) as of the first day in your current billing period if you make a payment by the Payment Due Date that is less than the current billing period’s New Balance. If a New Balance was shown on your previous billing statement and you did not pay the New Balance by the Payment Due Date on that statement, then we will not impose Interest Charges on any Purchases during the current billing period if you pay the New Balance shown on your current billing statement by the Payment Due Date on that statement. We may be required to apply your payments to certain balances first. This may impact Interest Charges on Purchases. If you do not pay your New Balance in full each month, then, depending on the balance to which we apply your payment, your new Purchases may be subject to interest. .•MINIMUM CHARGE FOR BILLING PERIOD — For any billing period in which an Interest Charge is imposed on your Account, there is a minimum interest charge of $1.00.
Interest Limitation It is the intention of the Company to conform strictly to all applicable usury laws and any subsequent revisions, repeals or judicial interpretations thereof. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under any applicable law then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Securities or this Indenture, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law with respect to a Security shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to the principal amount of such Security (or, if the principal amount of such Security shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Company), to the extent permitted by applicable law; and (ii) in the event that the maturity of any Security is accelerated or in the event of any redemption of such Security, then such consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to the principal amount of such Security (or, if the principal amount of such Security shall be paid in full, refunded to the Company), to the extent permitted by applicable law. All calculations made to compute the rate of interest with respect to a Security for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law shall be made, to the extent permitted by such applicable law, by allocating and spreading during the period of the full stated term of such Security all interest any time contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Holder or by the Trustee on behalf of any such Holder in connection therewith so that the amount or rate of interest charged for any and all periods of time during the term of the Security does not exceed the maximum amount or rate of interest allowed to be charged by law during the relevant period of time. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if at any time applicable laws shall be changed so as to permit a higher rate or amount of interest to be charged than that permitted prior to such change, then unless prohibited by law, references in this Indenture or any Security to “applicable law” when used in the context of determining the maximum interest or rate of interest that can be charged shall be deemed to refer to such applicable law as so amended to allow the greater amount or rate of interest. The right to accelerate maturity of any Security does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued to the date of such acceleration, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the continuing accrual after acceleration of interest in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Security.
