Sec. 25. The lender shall determine the premium charges payable to the reserve fund by the lender and the borrower in connection with a loan filed for enrollment. The premium paid by the borrower may not be less than one percent (1%) or greater than three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the amount of the loan. The premium paid by the lender must be equal to the amount of the premium paid by the borrower. The lender may recover the cost of the lender’s premium payment from the borrower in any manner on which the lender and borrower agree. When enrolling a loan, the corporation must transfer into the reserve fund from the account premium amounts determined as follows:

(1) If the amount of a loan, plus the amount of loans previously enrolled by the lender, is less than two million dollars ($2,000,000), the premium amount transferred must be equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the combined premiums paid into the reserve fund by the borrower and the lender for each enrolled loan.

(2) If, before the enrollment of the loan, the amount of loans previously enrolled by the lender is equal to or greater than two million dollars ($2,000,000), the premium amount transferred must be equal to the combined premiums paid into the reserve fund by the borrower and the lender for each enrolled loan.

(3) If the total amount of all loans previously enrolled by the lender is less than two million dollars ($2,000,000), but the enrollment of a loan will cause the total amount of all enrolled loans made by the lender to exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000), the corporation shall transfer into the reserve fund an amount equal to a percentage of the combined premiums paid into the reserve fund by the lender and the borrower. The percentage is determined as follows:

STEP ONE: Multiply by one hundred fifty (150) that part of the loan that when added to the total amount of all loans previously enrolled by the lender totals two million dollars ($2,000,000).

STEP TWO: Multiply the remaining balance of the loan by one hundred (100).

STEP THREE: Add the STEP ONE product to the STEP TWO product.

STEP FOUR: Divide the STEP THREE sum by the total amount of the loan.

The corporation may transfer two (2) times the amount determined under this section to the reserve fund if the borrower is a small disadvantaged business under 13 C.F.R. § 124.1002. The corporation may transfer three (3) times the amount determined under this section to the reserve fund if the borrower is a high growth company with high skilled jobs (as defined in IC 5-28-30-4). The corporation may transfer to the reserve fund three (3) times the amount determined under this section if the borrower is a child care facility. Unless money is paid out of the reserve fund according to the specific terms of this chapter, all money paid into the reserve account by the lender must remain in that account.
