(3) The mortgage shall— (A) provide for complete amortization by periodic payments within such term as the Secretary shall prescribe, and (B) bear interest (exclusive of premium charges for insurance and service charges, if any) at not to exceed such per centum per annum on the principal obligation outstanding at any time as the Secretary finds necessary to meet the mortgage market. (e) The Secretary shall fix and collect premium charges for the insurance of mortgages under this section which shall be payable annually in advance by the mortgagee, either in cash or in debentures of the Rehabilitation Facilities Insurance Fund (established by subsection (h) of this section) issued at par plus accrued interest.
