(8) At all reasonable times, upon prior notice, the recipient must provide authorized Service officers access to the location where the loan is kept for the purposes of inspecting the loan and all associated records pertaining to the loan. (9) Any loan is subject to the conditions specified in the transfer document, including, without limitation, any time periods, and any violation of these specific conditions entitles the Service to immediately repossess the fish, wildlife, or plants, or their offspring. (10) Any loan is in effect for an indefinite period of time unless the transfer document specifies a date for returning the loan to the Service.
