7. As a condition to, and in consideration of, lender writing down the loan(s) and restructuring the loan(s), borrower agrees to pay the lender a portion of the value of the real estate security property described in Item 6, if that real estate increases in value and this agreement expires, or sooner if one of the following occurs during the term of this agreement:
	(a)		All of the notes or line of credit agreements in Item 5 are paid in full or otherwise satisfied;
	(b)		Borrower stops farming;
	(c)		Any of the promissory notes in Item 5 are accelerated;
	(d)		When any of the real estate described in Item 6 is sold or conveyed. Convey means, sale, gift, contract for sale, purchase agreement, or foreclosure. Convey does not mean transfer of title to spouse upon death of borrower. In the case of a transfer to a spouse upon the borrower's death, shared appreciation will be due when any of the events described in item 7 occurs. If a portion is sold, appreciation will be calculated and due for that portion. For the remaining property, this agreement will remain in effect for any real estate security not sold.
8. The amount due the lender will be as follows:
	(a)		Seventy-five percent of any positive appreciation in the market value of the property described in Item 6 if any of the events described in Item 7 occurs four (4) years or less from the date of this agreement.
	(b)		Fifty percent of any positive appreciation in the market value of the property described in Item 6 if any of the events described in Item 7 occurs on the 5th anniversary of the agreement, or sooner, if after 4 years from the date of this agreement any of the events described in Item 7 occurs.
9. The amount of recapture by lender will be based on the difference between the value of the security at the time recapture is due and the date of this agreement. Both values will be determined through an appraisal conducted by the lender. The amount of recapture will not exceed the amount of write-down as stated on this form. 10. Repayment of the recapture amount may be rescheduled or reamortized under terms and conditions contained in FSA guaranteed loan regulations if the borrower is unable to pay the recapture amount when it becomes due. 11. If the borrower violates any of the terms of this agreement, then the lender can accelerate all of borrower's notes and liquidate the security property. 12. REMARKS OR ADDITIONS:
