The indemnity that may be payable by the borrower in the event of early repayment, as provided for in article L. 313-47, may not exceed the value of half a year’s interest on the capital repaid at the average rate for the loan, without exceeding 3% of the capital outstanding before repayment.
In the event that a credit agreement has different interest rates for different repayment periods, the indemnity referred to in the first paragraph may be increased by the amount needed to ensure that the lender receives the average rate provided for when the loan was granted, over the period of time that has elapsed since the loan was granted.
