6. Export Express Loans All general interest rate requirements apply to Export Express Loans with the following exceptions: a. For variable rate Export Express loans, the Lender is not required to use the base rate identified above in this Appendix and in 13 CFR § 120.214(c). The Lender may use the same base rate of interest it uses on its similarly-sized, non-SBA guaranteed commercial loans, as well as its established change intervals, payment accruals, etc. However, the interest rate throughout the term of the loan may not exceed the maximum allowable Export Express interest rate and the loan may be sold on the Secondary Market only if the base rate is one of the base rates allowed in 13 CFR § 120.214(c). b. Default Interest Rates: The default interest rate is a change (increase) in the interest rate charged to the Borrower as a result of a failure to meet certain conditions specified in the loan agreement. i. A Lender may charge a default interest rate if it does so for its similarly-sized, non-SBA guaranteed commercial loans, as long as the interest rate does not exceed the maximum interest rate permitted for Export Express loans. ii. The amount of interest SBA will pay to a Lender following default of an Export Express loan is capped at the maximum interest rates for the Standard 7(a) loan program.
