B.

The lender shall present these documents to the authority. Presentation of the documents constitutes an offer to purchase a bond to fund the loan.

Volume cap allocation charge.

The applicant shall also provide to the eligible lender for submission to the authority with the application, a check payable to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture in the amount determined under Minnesota Statutes, section 474A.03, as a volume cap allocation fee.
