# 120.522 Payment of accrued interest to the Lender or Registered Holder when SBA purchases the guaranteed portion.

(a) *Rate of interest.* If SBA purchases the guaranteed portion from a Lender or from a Registered Holder (if sold in the Secondary Market), it will pay accrued interest at:

(1) The rate in the note if it is a fixed rate loan; or

(2) The rate in effect on the date of the earliest uncured payment default, or of SBA's purchase (if there has been no default).

(b) *Payment to Lender*—(1) *For loans approved on or after May 14, 2007.* SBA will pay up to a maximum of 120 days interest to a Lender at the time of guarantee purchase.

(2) *For loans approved before May 14, 2007.* The regulations applicable to the amount of interest that SBA will pay to a Lender upon loan default that were in effect immediately prior to this date will govern such loans.

(c) *Payment to Registered Holder.* SBA will pay a Registered Holder all accrued interest up to the date of payment.
