\1\ Also, if SBA substantially changes the Lender's loan terms and approves the loan, but the modified terms are
  unacceptable to the Borrower or Lender. (The Lender must request refund in writing within 30 calendar days of
  the approval).

    (b) If the guarantee fee is not paid, SBA may terminate the 
guarantee. The Borrower may use working capital loan proceeds to 
reimburse the Lender for the guarantee fee. Acceptance of the guarantee 
fee by SBA shall not waive any right of SBA arising from the Lender's 
misconduct or violation of any provision of this part, the guarantee 
agreement, the Authorization, or other loan documents.
    (c) The Lender shall also pay SBA an annual service fee equal to 0.5 
percent of the outstanding balance of the guaranteed portion of each 
loan. The service fee cannot be charged to the Borrower. SBA may 
institute a late fee charge for delinquent payments of the annual 
service fee to cover administrative costs associated with collecting 
delinquent fees.
