1 (b) All loans under this Section shall be made by

3 which contract shall include the following provisions:
4 (1) The annual rate of interest shall be 2 percent
5 below the Prime Rate charged by banks, as published by

10 years, but it may be for less by mutual agreement.
11 (3) Loan payments shall be scheduled in equal
12 amounts for the periods determined under paragraph (4) of
13 this Section. The loan payments shall be calculated so
14 that the loan is completely repaid, with interest, on
15 outstanding balances, by the end of the term determined
16 under paragraph (2) of this Section. There shall be no
17 penalty for early payment ahead of the payment schedule.
18 (4) The period of loan payments shall be annual,

5 rate be lowered nor any interest be forgiven. If a
6 renegotiation of loan payment amounts and schedule is
7 obtained to the Department's satisfaction within 30 days
8 of notification of default, then the new payment schedule
9 shall replace the one determined by paragraph (3) of this
10 Section and shall be used to measure compliance with the
11 loan for purposes of default. If after 30 days of
12 notification of default the Department has not obtained a
13 renegotiation to its satisfaction, the Department shall
14 declare the loan balance due and payable immediately. If
15 the public airport owner cannot immediately pay the
16 balance of the loan, the Department shall proceed to
17 foreclose.
18 (c) The Airport Land Loan Revolving Fund is created in
19 the State Treasury.
