4. Servicing Responsibilities	It will be responsible for servicing the entire loan and will remain mortgagee and secured party of record.
5. Loan Security	The entire loan will be secured by the same security with equal lien priority for the guaranteed and unguaranteed portions of the loan.

PART C - REPURCHASE OF LOAN FROM HOLDER:
1. Lender Repurchase	The lender acknowledges that it has no authority to unilaterally repurchase the guaranteed portion from the holder without written concurrence from the Government. Lender may repurchase only as provided in this agreement and 7 C.F.R. Part 762.
2. Repurchase for Servicing Purposes	Lender may repurchase the loan to restructure loan payments or other servicing actions. If the borrower's ability to remain in business is directly dependent upon a change in the provisions relating to the borrower's installment payments, the Government may permit the lender to repurchase the guaranteed interest from the holder if all of the following conditions exist: a. Lender has submitted a written request to Government for concurrence providing justification for repurchase. b. The change in terms and conditions are to the borrower's benefit. c. The lender must change the loan terms and conditions if repurchased.
3. Government Repurchase for Servicing Purposes	If the lender does not repurchase the loan, Government at its option may purchase the guaranteed portions of the loan for servicing purposes.
4. Holder Demand for Repurchase	The holder will have the right to demand repurchase, in either of the circumstances below. The holder will notify the Government when circumstances exist that would give them the right to demand repurchase. The amount repurchased will be equal to the unpaid guaranteed portion of the principal and interest less lender's servicing fee. a. The borrower is in default not less than 60 days on principal or interest due on the loan; or, b. The lender has failed to remit to the holder the holder's pro rata share of any payment made by the borrower or the Agency.
5. Process for Holder to Demand Repurchase	a. To demand repurchase, the holder will send a letter to the lender with a copy to the Government demanding repurchase of the loan. b. The lender will repurchase the guaranteed portion if desired or if necessary to facilitate servicing of the loan such as the application of interest assistance, or to restructure the terms of a defaulted loan when the holder will not agree to the change. c. The lender will accept an assignment without recourse from the holder upon repurchase.
6. Government Repurchase	If the lender does not repurchase the loan, the holder must inform the Government that demand was made on the lender and the lender refused. Following the lender's refusal, the holder may continue as holder of the loan or demand that the Government purchase the guaranteed portion. If the holder demands Government purchase, the Government will pay the holder within 30 days when both the lender and holder agree on the repurchase amount. The Government will only pay interest that accrues up to 90 days after the holder has demanded repurchase by the lender. However, if the holder requested purchase by the Government within 60 days of the request to the Lender and for any reason not attributable to the holder and the lender, the Government cannot make payment within 30 days of the holder's demand to the Government, the holder will be paid interest to the date of the payment. The Government may purchase the guaranteed portion from the holder for servicing at any time at its option. When the Government purchases the guaranteed portion, the holder will re-assign the assignment of guarantee to the Government without recourse.
7. Lender Obligations for Government Repurchase	a. Lender consents to the purchase by the Government and agrees to furnish on request by Government a current statement certified by an appropriate authorized officer of the lender of the unpaid principal and interest then owed by the borrower on the loan and the amount then owed to any holder. Any discrepancy between the amount claimed by the holder and the information submitted by the lender must be resolved before payment will be approved. Such a conflict will suspend the running of the 30 day payment requirement. b. Lender agrees that any purchase by Government does not change, alter or modify any of the lender's obligations to Government arising from said loan or guarantee, nor does it waive any of Government's rights against lender and that Government has the right to set off against lender all rights inuring to Government as the holder of this instrument against Government's obligation to the lender under the loan guarantee.

Part 762 now in effect and future regulations not inconsistent with the provisions of this agreement.
