The rate after its first adjustment is 5%. The ARM adjustment would be controlled by the periodic cap, because the "true rate" or "fully-indexed rate" is 6.00% (1%+5%). Because the periodic cap prevents the start rate from moving any more than 2% at any given adjustment, the first move can only go as high as 5.00%.
