prior written approval of the Board.
    (b) Under no circumstances will the Board permit an assignment or 
transfer of less than 100 percent of a Lender's interest in the Loan

Lender pursuant to Sec.  500.201.

treated in the same manner;

it under the Guarantee and the law is not adversely affected; or

the loan after payment under the Guarantee has been made.
