outstanding in accordance with all of the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Lender and USDA certify to the Holder
that the Lender has paid and USDA has received the guarantee fee in exchange for the issuance of the Loan Note Guarantee and
any applicable fees. All subsequent guaranteed note sales must be reported to the Agency.
2.

Loan Servicing. The Lender is responsible for servicing the entire loan and will remain mortgagee and secured party of record.
The entire loan will be secured by the same security with equal lien priority for the guaranteed and unguaranteed portions of the
loan. The Lender will receive all payments on account of principal of, or interest on, the entire loan and shall promptly remit to
the Holder its pro rata share thereof determined according to their respective interests in the loan, less only the Lender’s
servicing fee.

3.

Servicing Fee. Holder agrees that Lender will retain a servicing fee of _____________________ percent per annum of the
unpaid balance of the guaranteed portion of the loan assigned hereunder.

4.

Purchase by Holder. The Holder will hereby succeed to all rights of the Lender under the Loan Note Guarantee to the extent of
the assigned portion of the loan. The Lender, however, will remain bound by all obligations under the Loan Note Guarantee and
the program regulations found in 7 CFR part 5001.

5.

Full Faith and Credit. The Loan Note Guarantee constitutes an obligation supported by the full faith and credit of the United
States and is incontestable except for fraud or misrepresentation of which the Holder has actual knowledge at the time it becomes
such a lender or holder of this assignment, or which it participates in or condones. The guarantee will be unenforceable by the
Lender to the extent that any loss is occasioned by a violation of usury laws, use of loan proceeds for unauthorized purposes,
negligent loan origination, negligent loan servicing, or failure to obtain, perfect, document, and or maintain the required collateral
or security position regardless of the time at which USDA acquires knowledge of the foregoing. Any losses will be
unenforceable by the Lender to the extent that loan funds were used for purposes other than specifically approved by USDA in its
Conditional Commitment or approved amendment thereof.

6.

Rights and Liabilities. The guarantee and right to require purchase will be directly enforceable by Holder notwithstanding any
fraud or misrepresentation by Lender or any unenforceability of the Loan Note Guarantee by Lender. Nothing contained herein
shall constitute any waiver by USDA of any rights it possesses against the Lender, and the Lender agrees that Lender will be
liable and will promptly reimburse USDA for any payment made by USDA to Holder which, if such Lender had held the
guaranteed portion of the loan, USDA would not be required to make. The Holder upon written notice to the Lender and USDA
may resell the unpaid balance of the guaranteed portion of the loan assigned hereunder.

7.

Repurchase by the Lender (Defaults). The Lender has the option to repurchase the unpaid guaranteed portion of the loan
from the Holder upon written demand by the Holder when: (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 its pro rata share of any payment made by the
Borrower or any loan subsidy within 30 days of its receipt thereof. The repurchase by the Lender will be for an amount equal to
the unpaid guaranteed portion of principal and accrued interest, less the Lender’s servicing fee. The Holder must concurrently
send a copy of the demand letter to the Agency. The Lender must accept an assignment without recourse from the Holder upon
repurchase. The Lender or the Agency will issue an interest termination letter to the Holder(s) establishing the termination date
for interest accrual if the default is not cured. The guarantee will not cover interest to any Holder accruing after 90 days from the
date of the interest termination letter.

8.

Purchase by USDA. If Lender does not repurchase as provided by paragraph 7, USDA will purchase from the Holder the
unpaid principal balance of the guaranteed portion together with accrued interest to date of repurchase, less the Lender’s
servicing fee, within 30 days after written demand to the Agency from the Holder. The Lender or the Agency will issue an
interest termination letter to the Holder(s) establishing the termination date for interest accrual. Accrued interest paid to the
holder(s) will not exceed 90 calendar days and will be calculated from date when interest was last paid on the loan. Once the
Holder makes demand upon the Agency, the request cannot be rescinded. Such demand will include a copy of the written
demand made upon the Lender. The Holder or its duly authorized agent will also include evidence of its right to require payment
from USDA. Such evidence will consist of either the original of the Loan Note Guarantee properly endorsed to USDA or the
original of the Assignment Guarantee Agreement properly assigned to USDA without recourse including all rights, title, and
interest in the loan. USDA will be subrogated to all rights of Holder. The Holder will include in its demand the amount due
including unpaid principal, unpaid interest to date of demand and interest subsequently accruing from date of demand to
proposed payment date. Unless otherwise agreed to be USDA, such proposed payment will not be later than 30 days from the
date of demand. USDA will promptly notify the Lender of its receipt of the Holder's demand for payment. The Lender will
promptly provide USDA with the information necessary for USDA's determination of the appropriate amount due by the 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. USDA will notify both parties who must resolve the conflict before payment will be approved.
Such a conflict will suspend the running of the 30 day payment requirement. Upon receipt of the appropriate information, USDA
will review the demand and remit the appropriate payment to Holder.

9.

Lender’s Obligations. Lender consents to the purchase by USDA and agrees to furnish on request by USDA a current
statement certifi ed by an appropriate authorized officer of the Lender of the unpaid principal and interest then owed by Borrower
on the loan and the amount then owed to any Holder. Lender agrees that any purchase by USDA does not change, alter or
modify any of the Lender’s obligations to USDA arising from said loan or guarantee nor does it waive any of USDA’s rights
against Lender, and that USDA shall have the right to set-off against Lender all rights inuring to USDA as the Holder of this
instrument against USDA obligation to Lender under the Loan Note Guarantee.

10.
Repurchase by Lender for Servicing. If, in the opinion of the Lender, repurchase of the assigned portion of the loan is
necessary to adequately service the loan, the Holder will sell the assigned portion of the loan to the Lender for an amount equal
to the unpaid principal and interest on such portion less Lender’s servicing fee. The Lender is encouraged to repurchase the loan
to facilitate the accounting of funds, resolve any loan problems, and prevent default, where and when reasonable. When the
Lender repurchases the guaranteed portion from the secondary market for servicing purposes, the Lender must discontinue
interest accrual if Federal or State regulators place the loan in non-accrual status if the default is not cured within 90 calendar
days. The Lender will notify the Holder and the Agency of its decision.
2

a. The Lender will not repurchase from the Holder for arbitrage purposes or other purposes to further its own financial gain.
b. Any repurchase will only be made after the Lender obtains USDA written approval.
c. If the Lender does not repurchase the portion from the Holder, USDA, at its option, may purchase such guaranteed portion
for servicing purposes.
11. Termination of Lender's Servicing Fee. The Lender's servicing fee will stop on the date that interest was last paid by the
Borrower when USDA purchases the guaranteed portion of the loan from the secondary market. No such servicing fee may be
charged to USDA and all loan payments and collateral proceeds received will be applied first to the guaranteed loan and when
applied to the guaranteed loan will be applied on a pro rata basis.
12. Foreclosure. The Lender is responsible for determining who the necessary parties are to any foreclosure action or who should
be named on a deed of conveyance taken in lieu of foreclosure. When the conveyance is received and the property is
liquidated, the net proceeds will be applied to the guaranteed loan debt. If USDA has repurchased the guaranteed portion of
the loan from the Holder, the Lender must obtain USDA’s concurrence to any foreclosure action to be taken by the Lender;
however, USDA will not be considered to be a necessary party to the action or otherwise required to join in.
13. Reassignment. Holder upon written notice to Lender and USDA may reassign the unpaid guaranteed portion of the loan sold
hereunder. Upon such notification, the assignee will succeed to all rights and obligations of the Holder hereunder.
14. Notices. All notices and actions will be initiated through the USDA ____________________________________________
