Use of Account; Owner Occupied Status
The Property must remain owner occupied at all times, unless we give you express prior permission to lease the premises or otherwise cease an owner-occupied status. Breach of this provision shall be a material breach of the terms of this agreement and shall be deemed to adversely affect the secured property and your rights in the secured property.

Breach of this provision shall be a material breach of the terms of this agreement and shall be deemed to adversely affect the secured property and your rights in the secured property.
Minimum Payment Requirements
You can obtain advances of credit for five (5) years (the "draw period"). At the Credit Union's option, this period can be renewed or extended. During the draw period, payments will be due monthly. Your minimum monthly payment will equal 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance at the time of your last draw, or $100.00, whichever is greater.
After the draw period ends, you will no longer be able to obtain credit advances and must pay the outstanding balance on your account (the "repayment period"). The length of the repayment period is twenty-five (25) years. If the draw period is renewed or extended, the repayment period will be reduced by an equal number of years. The sum of the draw period and repayment period will never exceed 30 years. During the repayment period, payments will be due monthly. Your minimum monthly payment will equal 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance at the time of your last draw, or $100.00, whichever is greater. The minimum monthly payment will also include, as applicable, any amounts for which you have exceeded your credit limit and corresponding over-the-limit fees; any amounts past due and corresponding late fees; and any other amounts due for any other charges incurred. Account balances of less than $100.00 must be paid in full.

Account balances of less than $100.00 must be paid in full.
The minimum monthly payments may not be sufficient to fully repay the principal on your line by the end of the draw and repayment periods. If they are not, you will then be required to pay the entire balance in a single payment.
Balloon Payment
The minimum payment may not fully reduce the principal that is outstanding on your line by the final payment date, which will never exceed 30 years from Home Equity Line-of-Credit Plan Date. You will then be required to pay the entire balance in a single "balloon" payment. You will also be required to immediately pay the entire balance in a balloon payment if you terminate your Plan. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we are under no obligation to refinance the balloon payment at that time. You may be required to make payments out of other assets you own or find a lender, which may be us, willing to lend you money. If you refinance the balloon, you may have to pay some or all of the closing costs normally associated with a new loan.

Negative Amortization
The Plan does not provide for negative amortization. In the event an increase of the index would result in negative amortization, then the amounts of your periodic payments may be increased.

Minimum Payment Example
If you made only the minimum monthly payment and took no other credit advances, it would take 9 year(s) and 9 month(s) to pay off a credit advance of $10,000 at an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 3.25%. During that period, you would make 60 payments of $100.00 followed by 56 payments of $100.00 with a final payment of $78.09.

This Plan has a variable rate and the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE and corresponding periodic rate and minimum payment can change as a result. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE does not include costs other than interest.
The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is based on the value of an index. The index is the highest rate of interest identified as the 'Prime Rate' in the 'Money Rates' section as published in the Wall Street Journal on the last Tuesday at the end of the calendar month. We will use the most recent index value available to us on the last Tuesday of the month. To determine the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE that will apply to your account, we add a margin based on your creditworthiness, Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio, and credit limit to the value of the index.
Ask us for the current index value, margins and ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES. After you open an account, rate information will be provided on periodic statements that we send you.

Rate Changes
The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE can change on the first day of each month. There is no limit on the amount by which the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE can change during any one year period. The maximum ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE that can apply is 21% or the maximum permitted by applicable law. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will never fall below the Prime Rate.

changes in the index over the past 15 years. The index values are from the first Monday in May. If the first Monday is a holiday then the index values are from the first business day following that Monday.
