(2) "Discounted introductory rate" means an interest rate that, by the terms of the mortgage loan agreement, will increase at the expiration of the introductory time period or by the occurrence of a specific triggering event to a specific higher interest rate but does not include any mortgage loan agreement where the specific higher interest rate is not known or determinable with certainty at the time of execution of the mortgage loan. (3) "A rate that automatically steps up over time" means an interest rate that, by terms of the mortgage loan agreement, will increase at known time intervals to a higher specific interest rate but does not include any mortgage loan agreement where the specific higher interest rate is not known or determinable with certainty at the time of the execution of the mortgage loan. (4) "The fully indexed rate" means the higher interest rate that will be imposed after the expiration of the introductory time period or by the occurrence of a specific triggering event for a mortgage loan agreement in which the current interest rate is a discounted or less than fully amortized interest rate. (5) "The fully stepped-up rate" means the highest interest rate that will be imposed after all automatic increases have occurred for a mortgage loan agreement in which the current interest rate is a rate that will automatically step up over time.
