(a) Any county may opt to terminate its participation in the loan fund pool by giving at least three (3) months' notice to THDA prior to the expiration of any twelve-month term of operation of the loan fund pool. Any such termination is without prejudice as regards participation of such terminating county in any subsequent twelve-month term of the loan fund pool. However, such terminating county's allocation of interest earnings on repayments reverts to the loan fund pool and shall be utilized for the purposes described in this part. Acceptance of any new application by such terminating county during any subsequent twelve-month term of operation of the loan fund pool is not deemed to be a forgiveness of the interest forfeiture mandated by this section.
(b) Any participating county having made loans in excess of the amount of funds in the initial capitalization of the loan fund pool for the county may terminate its participation with notice to THDA and may retain all funds, including any funds used for initial capitalization or interest earnings on repayments.
