    Adjustable Rate Mortgage rate and payment changes:

    The rate indicated for adjustable rate mortgages is the initial rate and is subject to increase
    For example; the 5/1 Year ARM will have a constant interest rate for the first five years. Adjustable rates may change annually based on an “Index”.
    Before each Change Date, we will calculate the new interest rate by adding the “Margin” to the “Current Index”. The result will then be rounded to the nearest one-eighth of one percentage point (0.125%) which will be the new rate.
    The rate may not adjust more than the “Max Rate change per Period” indicated above on each “Change Date”. The total loan adjustment will not adjust more than the Lifetime Cap indicated above over the “Life time Change” of the loan.
