      <text>Is made readily available to and verifiable by the borrower;</text>
    </level>
    <level label="2">
      <text>Is beyond the control of the credit grantor; and</text>
    </level>
    <level label="3">
      <text>May be within the control of the borrower.</text>
    </level>
  </level>
  <level label="b">
    <text>The periodic percentage rate, as varied, may be made applicable to all outstanding unpaid indebtedness on or after the effective date of the variation, including any indebtedness arising out of purchases made or loans obtained prior to the variation.</text>
