1.1

Amortized Insured Loan Amount means the unpaid principal balance of the Loan outstanding as of the first day of the month.

1.2

Borrower means any individual legally obligated to repay the debt obligation created by a Loan, including any co-borrower, co-signer, co-obligor, or guarantor of the Loan.

1.3

1.4

Claim Amount means the amount calculated in accordance with Section 6.2 of this Policy.

1.5

Combined Loan-to-Value means that ratio, expressed as a percentage, equal to:

the sum of:

(a) if the Loan is not a HELOC, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the date the Loan was Consummated; or (b) if the Loan is a HELOC, the pre-established borrowing limit of the Loan; and

the outstanding principal balance, as of the date the Loan was Consummated, of the loan secured by the First Deed of Trust;

divided by

the Fair Market Value of the Property.

1.6

Consummated means the date on which the loan was closed and all related loan documents were executed.

1.7

Default means the failure by a Borrower (s) to pay when due a scheduled periodic payment due under the terms of a Loan, or (b) to pay all amounts due on acceleration of the Loan by the Insured after breach by the Borrower of a due-on-sale provision in the Loan by the Insured after breach by the Borrower of a due-on-sale provision in the Loan, granting the Insured the right to accelerate the Loan upon transfer of title to, or an interest in, the Property, or (c) to pay when due any scheduled periodic payment or any other amount due on any debt or other obligation representing an encumbrance or lien superior to the Loan (including, but not limited to, the First Deed of Trust and tax or other liens or encumbrances).

A Loan is deemed to be in Default for that month, as appropriate: (a) as of the close of business on the installment due date for which a scheduled periodic payment has not been made; (b) as of the close of business on the due date stated in the notice of acceleration given pursuant to the due-on-sale provision in the Loan; (c) as of the installment due date for which a scheduled periodic payment has not been made under the First Deed of Trust; or (d) as of the due date for payment of any amount due on any other debt or other obligation representing an encumbrance or lien superior to the Loan. The Loan shall be considered to remain in Default until filing of a Claim so long as such scheduled periodic payment has not been made or violation of the due-on-sale clause continues. For example, a Loan is “four (4) months in Default” if the monthly installments due on January 1 through April 1 remain unpaid as of the close of business on April 1 or if a basis for acceleration exists for a continuous period of four (4) months.

1.8

2.2

Notice of Default – The Insured must give the Company written notice within fifteen (15) days after either the end of each calendar month or such other day of the month agreed to by the Company and the Insured, of:

Each Loan on which the Borrower has become two (2) months in Default on the Loan during the period covered by such notice; or

Each Loan on which any proceedings which affect the Loan or the Property or the Insured’s or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s interest therein have been started during the period covered by such notice, by either the Insured or the holder (owner) of the first or any subordinate mortgage lien on the Property.

5.2

Monthly Reports – Following a notice of Default on the Loan, the Insured must give the Company monthly reports on forms or in a format acceptable to the Company on the status of the Loan and on the servicing efforts undertaken to remedy the Default. These monthly reports must continue until the Borrower is no longer in Default, any proceedings terminate, or until the Company has settled a Claim with respect to such Loan.

5.3

Company’s Option to Accelerate Filing of a Claim – If the Company so directs, at any time after receiving the Insured’s notice of Default, the Insured shall file a Claim within thirty (30) days after notice from the Company. The Company shall then make a payment of Loss in accordance with Section 6.3. If a Loan for which the Company has paid a Claim is subsequently brought current by the Borrower, the Insured shall refund to the Company the Loss paid by the Company with respect to that Loan.

5.4

Mitigation of Damages – The Insured shall:

Actively pursue reasonable opportunities to prevent and/or mitigate the Loss, including, without limitation good faith efforts by the Insured to: (i) obtain a cure of the Default; (ii) collect amounts due under the Loan; (iii) inspect and appraise the Property; and (iv) implement a short payoff, deed in lieu of foreclosure, note sale or lump sum cash settlement (collectively referred to herein as a “Liquidating Workout”), including, as necessary, waiver of any prepayment penalties, late fees, or similar charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Insured shall not finalize or implement any Liquidating Workout without the Company’s prior written approval.

Following payment of any Claim Amount, promptly forward to the Company any and all Trailing Payments, First Deed of Trust foreclosure notices, and any other information or documentation reasonably likely to assist the Company in mitigating Loss

Without limiting the foregoing, assert its rights in any bankruptcy or similar state proceeding, including filing a proof of claim, filing a responsive pleading, and otherwise taking appropriate steps to protect its interest, whether a priority interest or not, to any potential excess proceeds in any foreclosure or similar action involving the Property, and

In the event the Insured acquires the Property, which acquisition shall be made only upon receipt of prior written approval of the Company, use good faith efforts to timely dispose of the Property at the then fair market value of the Property.

5.5

Claim Information and Other Requirements – At the time of filing of the Claim, the Insured must provide the Company with:

All information reasonably requested by the Company, including, but not limited to, the Loan File;

A completed form furnished by or acceptable to the Company for payment of a Claim; and

(i)

any Second Deed of Trust, and

(ii)

any policies of title insurance, letter reports of title, or opinions of title and surveys.

The obligation of the Insured to provide the Company with information reasonably requested by the Company shall continue until payment of the Claim. Upon assignment of the Second Deed of Trust to the Company, the Insured shall notify the Borrower of any change in the servicer.

5.6

Collection and Loss Mitigation Assistance – The Insured shall permit the Company to cooperatively assist the Insured in the collection of moneys due under the Loan and the identification of loss mitigation opportunities, including obtaining information from the Borrower and/or any other appropriate source, and attempting to develop repayment plans and/or workout strategies acceptable to the Insured.

Loss Payment Procedure

6.1

Filing of Claim – The Insured must file a Claim: (i) no earlier than the date on which the Loan becomes five (5) months in Default; and (ii) no later than thirty (30) days after the Loan becomes six (6) months in Default or within the thirty (30) day period specified in Section 5.3 (Company’s Option to Accelerate Filing of a Claim), unless a written extension has been granted by the Company. If the Insured fails to file a Claim within the applicable time, such failure shall be deemed to have been an election by the Insured to waive any right to any benefit under this Policy with respect to such Loan.

6.2

Calculation of Claim Amount – The Claim Amount shall be an amount equal to the lesser of:

the sum of one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the unpaid principal balance due under the Loan as of the date of Default without capitalization of delinquent interest, penalties or advances

and

the sum of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal balance due under the Loan as of the date of Default, plus the amount of the accumulated delinquent interest computed to the date of Claim payment at the Loan rate of interest, plus foreclosure costs, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid by the Insured and approved by the Company.

Subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, in calculating such amounts, the unpaid principal balance shall not exceed the Insured Loan Amount and the unpaid principal balance and interest shall be reduced by any amounts obtained by a short payoff or other transaction approved in writing by the Company, and by any reduction in any insolvency proceeding or under the Soldier’s and Sailor’s Civil Relief Act of 1940 and/or any similar state or local law.

6.3

Claim Withdrawal –

If, at any time prior to payment of the Claim Amount by the Company, the Insured receives any payment(s) which either: (i) cures the Default on the Loan; or (ii) results in the Loan being less than three (3) months in Default, the Insured shall apply such payment(s) to the Loan and shall withdraw the related Claim by providing prompt written notice to the Company of such withdrawal.

If, at any time prior to payment of the Claim Amount, the Insured receives payment(s) constituting full payoff of the Loan, the Insured shall apply such payment(s) to the Loan and shall withdraw the related Claim by providing prompt written notice to the Company of such withdrawal. In such event, the Loan shall no longer be covered under this Policy and shall be removed from the Schedule.

6.4

Payment of Loss – Whenever a Loss becomes payable, the Company shall pay to the Insured, within sixty (60) days after the Insured has filed a Claim in accordance with Section 5.3 (Company’s Option to Accelerate Filing of a Claim) or Section 6.1 (Filing of Claim) the Claim Amount less any payments previously made by the Company with respect to that Loan; provided, however, that on or after the date on which the aggregate Losses paid by the Company under this Policy is an amount equal to the Maximum Aggregate Liability, the liability of the Company to pay any additional Losses under this Policy ceases, notwithstanding the payment of additional premium due under this Policy. All payments by the Company hereunder shall be made either by wire transfer or by check, at the Insured’s election and as so specified in a written notice to the Company. In the event that payments shall be made by wire transfer, the Insured shall provide written wiring instructions to the Company.

6.5

Trailing Payments – After payment by the Company of any Claim Amount hereunder, any and all Trailing Payments (appropriately endorsed) shall be promptly remitted by the Insured to the Company.

6.6

Discharge of Obligation – Payment by the Company of the amount of Loss required to be paid in accordance with this Policy will be full and final discharge of its obligation with respect to such Loss under this Policy.

Additional Conditions

7.1

7.2

Subrogation – To the extent that the Company is entitled under applicable law to pursue an action on the Eligible Note, the Company shall be subrogated, upon payment of the related Loss, in the amount thereof to all of the Insured’s rights of recovery against a Borrower and any other Person relating to the Loan or to the Property. The Insured must execute and deliver at the request of the Company such instruments and papers, including, but not limited to, an assignment of the Eligible Note and undertake such other actions as may be necessary to transfer, assign and secure such rights. The Insured shall refrain from any action, either before or after payment of a Loss, that prejudices such rights.

7.3

Policy for Exclusive Benefit of Insured – The coverage provided under this Policy shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Insured, and in no event shall any Borrower or other Person be deemed a party to, or an intended beneficiary of, this Policy.

7.4

Arbitration of Disputes; Suits and Actions Brought by the Insured

Unless prohibited by applicable law, or otherwise mutually agreed by the Company and Insured, all controversies, disputes or other assertions of liability or rights arising out of or relating to this Policy including the breach, interpretation or construction thereof, shall be settled by arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or the Insured both retain the right to seek a declaratory judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction on matters of interpretation of this Policy. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Title Insurance Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect on the date the demand for arbitration is made, or if such Rules are not then in effect, such other Rules of the American Arbitration Association as the Company may designate as its replacement.

The arbitrator(s) shall be neutral person(s) selected from the American Arbitration Association’s National Panel of Arbitrators familiar with the mortgage lending or mortgage guaranty insurance business. Any proposed arbitrator may be disqualified during the selection process, at the option of either party, if they are, or during the previous two (2) years have been, an employee, officer or director of any mortgage guaranty insurer, or of any entity engaged in the origination, purchase, sale or servicing of mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities.

No suit or action (including arbitration hereunder) brought by the Insured against the Company with respect to the Company’s liability for a Claim under this Policy shall be sustained in any court of law or equity or by arbitration unless the Insured has substantially complied with the terms and conditions of this Policy. A suit or action against the Company must be commenced within three (3) years after the Loss can be determined unless otherwise required by applicable law.

If a dispute arises concerning a Loan which involves either the Property or the Insured, the Company has the right to protect its interest by defending the suit, even if the allegations contained in such suit are groundless, false or fraudulent. The Company is not required to defend any lawsuit involving the Insured, the Property or the Loan.

7.5

Release of Borrower – The Insured’s execution of a release or waiver of the right to collect any portion of the unpaid principal balance of a Loan or other amounts due under the Loan shall release the Company from its obligation to the extent and amount of said release.

No condition or requirement of this Policy shall be deemed waived, modified or otherwise compromised unless that waiver, modification or compromise is stated in a writing properly executed on behalf of the Company.

No right or remedy of the Company provided for by this Policy shall be exclusive of, or limit, any other rights or remedies set forth in this Policy or otherwise available to the Company at law or equity.

As used in this Policy, the term “include” or “including” shall mean “include or including, without limitation.”
