3. Upon acceptance of the linked deposit loan package or any portion thereof, the state treasurer may place linked deposits with the eligible lending institution as follows: when market rates are five percent or above, the state treasurer shall reduce the market rate by up to three percentage points to obtain the linked deposit rate; when market rates are less than five percent, the state treasurer shall reduce the market rate by up to sixty percent to obtain the linked deposit rate. All linked deposit rates are determined and calculated by the state treasurer. When necessary, the treasurer may place linked deposits prior to acceptance of a linked deposit loan package.

4. The eligible lending institution shall enter into a deposit agreement with the state treasurer, which shall include requirements necessary to carry out the purposes of sections 30.750 to 30.765. The deposit agreement shall specify the length of time for which the lending institution will lend funds upon receiving a linked deposit, and the original deposit plus renewals shall not exceed five years, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. The agreement shall also include provisions for the linked deposit of a linked deposit for an eligible facility borrower, eligible multitenant enterprise, eligible farming operation, eligible alternative energy operation, eligible alternative energy consumer, eligible locally owned business, eligible small business, eligible marketing enterprise, eligible residential property developer, eligible residential property owner, eligible governmental entity, eligible agribusiness, eligible beginning farmer, eligible livestock operation, eligible student borrower or job enhancement business. Interest shall be paid at the times determined by the state treasurer.

5. The period of time for which such linked deposit is placed with an eligible lending institution shall be neither longer nor shorter than the period of time for which the linked deposit is used to provide loans at reduced interest rates. The agreement shall further provide that the state shall receive market interest rates on any linked deposit or any portion thereof for any period of time for which there is no corresponding linked deposit loan outstanding to an eligible multitenant enterprise, eligible farming operation, eligible alternative energy operation, eligible alternative energy consumer, eligible locally owned business, eligible small business, eligible job enhancement business, eligible marketing enterprise, eligible residential property developer, eligible residential property owner, eligible governmental entity, eligible agribusiness, eligible beginning farmer, eligible livestock operation, eligible student borrower, eligible facility borrower, or eligible water supply system, except as otherwise provided in this subsection. Within thirty days after the annual anniversary date of the linked deposit, the eligible lending institution shall repay the state treasurer any linked deposit principal received from borrowers in the previous yearly period and thereafter repay such principal within thirty days of the yearly anniversary date calculated separately for each linked deposit loan, and repaid at the linked deposit rate. Such principal payment shall be accelerated when more than thirty percent of the linked deposit loan is repaid within a single monthly period. Any principal received and not repaid, up to the point of the thirty percent or more payment, shall be repaid within thirty days of that payment at the linked deposit rate. Finally, when the linked deposit is tied to a revolving line of credit agreement between the banking institution and its borrower, the full amount of the line of credit shall be excluded from the repayment provisions of this subsection.

6. The state treasurer shall give priority to maintaining linked deposit agreement renewals over funding new linked deposit applications.
