``(I) state in conspicuous type size and format the
following phrase: This loan is an adjustable rate mortgage
with an initial fixed interest rate. Your initial fixed
interest rate is AAA with a monthly payment of BBB until CCC.
After that date, the interest rate on your loan will `reset'
to an adjustable rate and both your interest rate and payment
could go higher on that date and in the future. For example,
if your initial fixed rate ended today, your new adjustable
interest rate would be DDD and your new payment EEE. If
interest rates are one percent higher than they are today or
at some point in the future, your new payment would be FFF.
There is no guarantee you will be able to refinance your loan
to a lower interest rate and payment before your initial
fixed interest rate ends.;
