On every loan, the borrower shall pay a nonrefundable guaranty fee of two percent (2%) of the guaranteed portion, to be paid at the time of disbursement of loan proceeds. Upon collection, the committee shall remit all such guaranty fees to a special fund for such fees created by the State Treasurer. No loan guaranty made by the committee shall exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the principal of the loan. The amount of all outstanding loan guaranties shall not exceed five (5) times the combined total amount in the Small Businessman’s Loan Fund, plus the guaranty fee fund and accrued interest on both funds, provided the liability of the two (2) funds shall not exceed Fifteen Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($15,750,000.00). No guaranty made under the provisions of this article shall be an amount exceeding Three Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($375,000.00) principal, and the term thereof shall not exceed twenty (20) years. More than one (1) loan may be outstanding to any one (1) borrower at any one (1) time; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all loan guaranties to any one (1) borrower shall not exceed Three Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($375,000.00). The total amount of a loan secured by any real and/or personal property, including any previous indebtedness incurred against real and/or personal property offered as security for such loan, shall not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the market value as determined by an appraisal made by the lender. In determining the amount of indebtedness to be incurred against any real or personal property securing such a loan, the lender may consider the enhanced value of the real property and any other additional capital assets accruing to the borrower through loans provided under this article.
