VARIABLE RATE The Annual Percentage Rate, which is based on an index plus a margin, may increase during the term of the loan if the index rate increases. The index is (check one): ® Prime Rate Index Adjusted Monthly - The highest U.S. bank prime rate published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each calendar month. ? Prime Rate Index Adjusted Quarterly- The highest US. bank prime rate published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each calendar quarter. ? United States Treasury Bill (T-Bills) Index. The index is the 'Auction Average (Investment) - 3 month" rate most recently published by the Federal Reserve Board before the first day of the calendar quarter. ? UBOR Index Adjusted Quarterly - The average of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rates published in the "Money Rates' section of The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of each of the three (3) calendar months immediately preceding the first day of each calendar quarter. Any increase in the index and the Annual Percentage Rate which occurs while principal payments or principal and interest payments arc deferred will increase the amount of any current and all future payments. Any increase in the index and the Annual Percentage Rate which occurs after you have begun to make principal and interest payments on. your loan will increase the number of principal and interest payments you must make, unless the monthly payment amount is not sufficient to pay the monthly accrued interest and to repay the principal amount of the loan in full over the maximum repayment period, in which case the monthly payment amount may be increased to the minimum amount necessary to do so. For example, if your loan were for 510,000 at 11% for seven years, and the rate increased to 12% in one year after you began making principal and interest payments, you would have to make three additional payments. SECURITY: You have given a security interest in all refunds or amounts owed to you at any time by the student's educational institution. Collateral securing other loans with the Lender may also secure this Loan. LATE CHARGES: If a payment is more than 15 days late, you may be charged $5.00 or 5% of the payment, whichever is less. If you default, Lender (or any subsequent holder of your Loan Note) may increase the margin used to compute the Annual Percentage Rate by two percentage points (2%). PREPAYMENT: If you pay off early, you will not have to pay a penalty. See your contract documents for additional information about non-payment, default, any required repayment in full before the scheduled date, prepayment refunds, any security interest and penalties.
