monthly, annual, or other periodic percentage rate or rates as the agreement
governing the plan or loan provides, or as established in the manner
provided in such agreement. Periodic interest may be calculated on a
revolving credit plan using any balance computation method provided
for in the agreement governing the plan. Periodic interest may be calculated
on a closed-end loan by way of simple interest or such other method
as the agreement governing the loan provides.
b. If the agreement governing the revolving credit
plan or closed-end loan so provides, the periodic percentage rate or
rates of interest may vary in accordance with a schedule or formula.
Such periodic percentage rate or rates may vary from time to time as
the rate determined in accordance with such schedule or formula varies
and such periodic percentage rate or rates, as so varied, may be made
applicable to all or any part of the outstanding unpaid indebtedness
or outstanding unpaid amounts. In the case of revolving credit, such
rate shall become applicable on or after the first day of the billing
cycle that contains the effective date of such variation. In the case
of closed-end loan transactions, such rate may be made applicable to
all or any part of the outstanding unpaid amounts on and after the effective
date of such variation. Without limitation, a permissible schedule or
formula hereunder may include provisions in the agreement governing
the revolving credit plan or closed-end loan agreement for a change
in the periodic percentage rate or rates of interest applicable to all
or any part of outstanding unpaid indebtedness or outstanding unpaid
amounts, whether by variation of the then applicable periodic percentage
rate or rates of interest, variation of an index or margin or otherwise,
contingent upon the happening of any event or circumstance specified
in the plan or agreement, which event or circumstance may include the
failure of the borrower to perform in accordance with the terms of the
revolving credit plan or loan agreement.
