If any loan does not provide for the payment, commencing not later than one year after the date thereof, of installments either of principal alone or of combined principal and interest at a rate at least equal to the rate hereinabove provided for an amortized loan, the same shall not be an amortized loan for the purpose of Section 130111 of this act; but for the purpose of Section 130115 of this act, any loan held by an association may be classified as an amortized loan during any period within which payments are being made, or within which the note or obligation representing such loan provides for payments to be made, of installments either of principal alone or combined principal and interest thereof at a rate not less than that hereinabove provided for an amortized loan.
