A. IMPLEMENTATION: Commitments made on behalf of the STPF to purchase the SBA or FmHA guaranteed portion of loans before Senate Bill 1018 of the 41st New Mexico legislature, 2nd session, was passed and became law shall be honored according to the rates, servicing fees and other terms as provided in SIC Rule 89-1, dated November 30, 1989 and amended on October 20, 1993, based on New Mexico statues existing at the time the commitment was made. However, all commitments issued on behalf of the STPF after March 8, 1994 to purchase loans guaranteed by the SBA of FmHA shall be issued according to the rates, servicing fees and other terms of SIC Rule 94-2 pursuant to Section 7-27-5.4(A), NMSA 1978, as amended by Senate Bill 1018 approved by the 41st legislature of the state of New Mexico, 2nd session.

B. RATES: The effective yield to the STPF on these loans shall be a market rate equivalent to the yield on the planned amortized class tranche of collateralized mortgage obligation guaranteed by the federal national mortgage association or the federal home loan mortgage corporation (FNMA or FHLMC PAC CMO's"), rounded up to the nearest 1/8 of 1 percent, with an average life comparable to the maturity of the loan. In order to produce an effective yield to the STPF equivalent to yields on FNMA or FHLMC PAC CMO's with an average life of comparable maturity as required by New Mexico law, a blended rate may be used for any SBA/FmHA guaranty purchased by the STPF which includes a partial refinancing of a loan previously purchased by the STPF guaranteed by the SBA or FmHA. The blended rate shall be calculated by weighting the rate, time and amount of the loan to be refinanced together with the portion of the new loan used for purposes other than refinancing. Not less than 25 percent of the proceeds of the loan refinancing must be used for new purposes other than refinancing.

C. AMORTIZATION/MATURITY PERIODS: The loan amortization/maturity periods shall be limited to 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years.

D. COMMITMENT FEES: A one percent commitment fee to be paid by the farm credit entities, bank or savings and loan association to the STPF shall be charged on all SBA and FmHA loans. The term of such commitment shall be set by the SBA and FmHA based on the institution's and SBA's or FmHA's best estimate of the time required to close the loan, but in no case shall such terms exceed four (4) months, except in the case of construction loans where the term may be extended to twelve months.

E. SERVICING COMPENSATION: A maximum servicing fee of one hundred fifty (150) basis points of interest may be charged by the bank or savings and loan association on the unpaid balance of the loan as compensation for servicing by the financial institution; provided, in no event shall the total rate of interest paid by the borrower on the loan, including the yield to the STPF equivalent to the FNMA of FHLMC PAC CMO yield together with servicing fees up to a maximum of 150 basis points of interest, exceed the maximum rate permitted by the applicable federal guarantee program. In addition, a one-eighth of one percent (.00125) servicing fee computed on the unpaid balance of the loan shall be charged to the borrower to pay Colson Acquisition Service. Servicing fees payable to Colson Acquisition Service and any other fees that may be assessed by the applicable federal guarantee program shall be paid by the financial institution sercicing [sic] the loan from the servicing fees received by that institution as provided in this paragraph. In the event the FNMA or FHLMC PAC CMO yields plus 150 basis points for servicing fees exceed the maximum rate allowed by the applicable federal guarantee program, the servicing fees shall be limited to the difference between the FNMA or FHLMC PAC CMO yield and the maximum rate allowed by the applicable federal guarantee program.

F. EXTENSION: The state investment officer may grant extension beyond the original commitment period if the SBA or FmHA has granted an extension. The SBA or FmHA shall determine the terms and conditions for such extension after consultation with the bank, or savings and loan association and receiving the approval of the state investment officer.

G. DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS: Deferment of payments beyond the initial three-month period allowed in SBA 1086 may be granted, if such deferment is approved by the lending institution and the SBA. The deferment, including the initial three-month period, may not exceed six months. Deferment of payments beyond six months may be granted on a case by case basis with the prior approval of the state investment officer. As consideration for each deferment and deferment extension the STPF will impose a fee of $25.00 for the first $10,000 of principal or principal and interest deferred. For each $2,000 of principal or principal and interest greater than $10,000 and additional $5.00 will be charged. The fee will be calculated on the total amount of principal or principal and interest deferred. The fee is paid by the lender to the state investment office and may be charged to the borrower.
