(2) The state treasurer may enter into an agreement with the purchaser or transferee of a loan under this act to repurchase the loan at a price and time or upon the occurrence of an event provided in the agreement.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, at the time a loan is sold or transferred under this section, the state treasurer may set the interest rate, or method of determining the interest rate, on the loan being sold or transferred, including, but not limited to, a loan made before the effective date of the amendatory act that added this section, at a rate the state treasurer determines necessary and advisable to accomplish the sale or transfer.
