If the requirements appearing heretofore in Section 57-10-121 have been met by the lender and any sum of money remains due on the principal of the loan, the lender must file with the manager, on the form prescribed by the committee, the lender's claim for the amount of principal remaining due and outstanding under the loan. The claim shall be accompanied by papers showing that the lender has exhausted his legal rights and remedies in an effort to collect the loan, or that such requirement was waived by the committee, and must include an assignment of the judgment from the lender to the State of Mississippi, or an assignment of rights that the lender may possess in the event requirement of judgment has been waived. In the event that the borrower has declared bankruptcy, then the lender must submit a final order of the bankruptcy court in that cause or such other documents that prove to the satisfaction of the committee that the lender has first exhausted his legal rights and remedies in aid of his collection of the loan. The committee shall review these papers and the claim by the lender and if the committee is satisfied that the same are in due form and meet the requirements under this article, the full committee shall allow the claim and issue its requisition according to law to the state auditor against the guaranty fee fund in the State Treasury for the balance of the principal under the loan. The state auditor shall, after determination of the legal validity of the claim, issue a warrant therefor which shall be honored by the State Treasurer by payment out of said guaranty fee fund in the State Treasury.

If the balance remaining in the guaranty fee fund of the state treasury is insufficient to pay the amount of the principal of the loan remaining due, as shown by the written certificate of the State Treasurer to the manager, then the committee shall issue its requisition according to law, for the amount of the principal remaining due under the loan against the small businessman's loan fund on which the state auditor shall issue his warrant, which shall be honored by the State Treasurer to the limit of the funds allowable in the small businessman's loan fund.
