(ii) the interest rate, or, in the case of an adjustable rate existing senior lien, the maximum interest rate, for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate or the maximum interest rate, as the case may be, on the loan evidencing the existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER (a) if the loan evidencing the existing senior lien prior to the date of refinancing has an adjustable rate and the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien has a fixed rate, then the current interest rate on the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien may be up to 2.0% higher than the then-current loan rate of the loan evidencing the existing senior lien and (b) if the loan evidencing the existing senior lien prior to the date of refinancing has a fixed rate and the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien has an adjustable rate, then the maximum interest rate on the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien shall be less than or equal to (x) the interest rate on the loan evidencing the existing senior lien prior to the date of refinancing plus (y) 2.0%; and
