The following verbiage was done in 9 point font.
Based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate as of July 3, 2006, the APR for our Prime Zero plan would be 7.25%*. After 100 days the rate would convert to the then current Wall Street Journal Prime Rate and may change monthly thereafter. Using the Prime Rate in affect as of July 3, 2006, the APR would increase to 8.25% after 100 days.
* Offer applies to new accounts only and is a limited time offer. Limited to credit qualified home owners. Starting rate may vary with changes in the Prime Rate. Loan to values in excess of 80% will have an APR one percent (1.00%) higher. Maximum allowable APR is 21 %. Home owners’ property insurance will be required.
