[1] Annual Percentage Rate (APR). Current 8.00% APR is a fixed rate for the first 12 complete billing cycles (introductory rate period) and variable for the remainder of the term. This introductory rate is not based on the index and margin used to make rate adjustments. 

[2] After the 12-month introductory rate period and for the remainder of the 10-year draw period, the variable APR is based on The Wall Street Journal prime rate as published on the 15th of the month plus a margin of .50%. The current prime rate as of the 15th of the month is 7.50%, resulting in a current variable APR of 8.00%. The rate takes effect on the first day of the billing cycle after the introductory rate period and may change monthly. After the ten-year draw period, the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for the repayment period is a variable rate based on this same formula and may change annually. This rate takes effect on the first day of the first billing cycle of the repayment period. The Credit line has a minimum APR of 4.50% and a maximum APR of 15%.
