(3) A licensee may not enter into any loan contract in which a borrower agrees to pay principal or interest in one lump sum unless the payment is due not less than 45 days from the date of the making of the loan and not more than 1 year from the date of the making of the loan.
(4) Loans with a balloon payment are permissible so long as all installment payments cover at least the interest that has accrued since the previous installment payment.
