"(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to an eligible lender as described in section 435(g)(1)(D) for the fiscal year in which such lender begins to carry on a loan program insured by the Commissioner, or for any of the four succeeding fiscal years.

"(2) For the purposes of this subsection, the sum of the loans made by a lender which are insured by the Commissioner and which are in repayment shall be the original principal amount of loans made by such lender which are insured by the Commissioner reduced by (A) the amount the Commissioner has been required to pay to discharge his insurance obligations under this part, (B) the original principal amount of loans insured by the Commissioner which have been fully repaid, (C) the original principal amount insured on those loans for which payment of first installment of principal has not become due pursuant to section 427(a)(2)(B) or such first installment need not be paid pursuant to section 427(a)(2)(C), and (D) the original principal amount of loans repaid by the Commissioner under section 437. "(3) For the purposes of this subsection, payments by the Commissioner under section 430 to an assignee of the lender with respect to a loan shall be deemed payments made to such lender. " (4) The full faith and credit of the United States is pledged to the payment of all amounts which may be required to be paid under the provisions of section 430 or 437 of this part."
