PROGRAM PRODUCTS

All applicants in this program may receive a first mortgage loan and down payment assistance as a percentage of the full Note amount. Descriptions of the products follow:

FIRST MORTGAGEThe current program interest rate is shown on the Issuer’s web page in the system at www.ehousingplus.com. PLEASE NOTE THAT RATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME. With respect to reserved loans, the rate and assistance will not change as long as loans are delivered according to the timetable included in this Guide.

Borrowers qualifying for the first mortgage receive a grant for down payment/closing cost assistance.

DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE GRANTThe Down Payment Assistance Grant is available ONLY with the Assist Homeownership first mortgage loan. Assistance amount is subject to change at any time. Check the eHousingPlus system. Currently, the Assistance is 3.00%.

The Assistance is calculated on the Note amount. The Assistance may be used for down payment or closing costs and prepaids. While there is no cash back in this program, the borrower may be reimbursed for any overpayment of escrow. Because the Assistance is a fixed percentage of the original principal amount of the mortgage loan, any remaining Assistance must be applied as a principal reduction. Assistance is in the form of a non-repayable grant. It is not repayable under any circumstances with the exception of fraud or similar circumstances. When you reserve the first mortgage, the Assistance is automatically reserved. There is no additional reservation necessary. When you close the loan there are not second mortgages, second notes, deed restrictions or liens.

The Assistance will be funded by the lender at closing. Lenders will be reimbursed by US Bank at loan purchase.

PROGRAM COMPLIANCE UNDERWRITING Underwriters should remember that CALCULATION OF PROGRAM (COMPLIANCE) INCOME IS DIFFERENT THAN CALCULATION OF INCOME FOR CREDIT PURPOSES. The program requires that underwriters consider the income of borrowers and those who are secondarily liable on the Note (but not cosignors). Use the information below as a general guide. Because each case is different, please contact eHousingPlus Compliance if you have questions.

Unlike income that is averaged for credit underwriting, the program is concerned with actual current income. You should be reviewing the YTD income, the income of the last 4 months and the income shown on previous tax returns for consistency. You should not be averaging income. If there are not inconsistencies in earnings, use the guidelines for each loan type to determine current gross monthly income. Current gross monthly income is multiplied by remaining months in the year to determine "total current annualized income".

For the tax year in which the closing occurs, consider YTD income. First, establish current base income for the balance of the year using the guidelines for each type of income. Then consider any additional income. For assistance, contact the Compliance Office.

Gross monthly income is the sum of monthly gross pay; any additional income from overtime, part-time employment, bonuses, income from self-employment, dividends, interest, royalties, pensions, VA compensation and net rental income, other income (such as alimony, child support, public assistance, sick pay, social security benefits, unemployment compensation, income received from trusts, and income received from business activities or investments, continuation of which is probable based on foreseeable economic circumstances based upon the Mortgagor's Affidavit (to such effect), all as computed at the time of application for a mortgage loan and confirmed at the time of closing. We will check information with respect to gross monthly income obtained from the reservation form, Underwriter’s Certification and applicable certificates and affidavits executed the date of the Closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided that any gross monthly income not included for credit underwriting purposes must be included in determining gross monthly income. The limit is the limit and any amount over the limit is not acceptable. The Affidavit, executed by the borrower(s), and certified by the lender, must include the total verified annual income.

This program considers income of the borrower(s) and the income of any others who are secondarily liable on the loan who must reside in the property. Do not include the income of cosignors.

Questions regarding the calculation of income for program purposes should be directed to the Compliance office at [email protected] or 954-217-0817. There are many variables and the Compliance office will be pleased to assist. You are encouraged to ask questions in writing so that you receive a written response that may be printed and retained in your file.

“Alternate Documentation” (Alt Docs) as defined by the governing Agency (FHA, VA, etc) and other secondary market entities if acceptable to the Agency is acceptable in the program. Lender verification for compliance purposes is acceptable provided that such documentation includes the necessary, acceptable income tax transcripts. The Servicer requires a credit package as indicated on the various loan delivery checklists. However, the Servicer does not re-underwrite the loans for credit purposes. See bolded paragraph below.

Although reference is made to VOE’s and VOD’s in the guidelines below, they are not required if acceptable Agency alternate documentation is in the file. This documentation includes, but may not be limited to, current pay stubs which delineate “current period”, W-2's for all borrowers and all employers, and bank statements to verify assets. If W-2's are present in the loan file, lending personnel should verify that the total of W-2's presented equals the total income shown on borrower’s federal income tax transcripts. If a VOE is in the file, the borrower does not have to provide W-2's unless the underwriter deems this necessary for prudent underwriting. Figures shown on all documents should be consistent. See bolded paragraph below.

Because a program qualifier is “income”, even if not required for credit purposes (i.e. automated underwriting), you should be seeking the two most current paystubs with YTD. Do not include in the compliance file, keep copies for your records.

ASSIST HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDELINES Page 31

Although reference is made to the last 4 to 6 weeks income, Underwriters should be reviewing federal income tax transcriplts to verify that there are no unexplained and/or unacceptable differences current income to past income.

Examples below not intended to serve as exclusive methodology. Please contact the Compliance office [email protected] or 954-217-0817 with questions regarding individual cases.

Please note that the income reported for program income calculation CAN NEVER BE LOWER THAN THE INCOME USED TO QUALIFY FOR CREDIT PURPOSES.

Hourly Employees For the tax year in which the loan is closing, use the Year to Date base income. If consistent, utilize the base to determine the balance of the year by 1.Using last 4 to 6 weeks' pay stubs, identify hourly rate of pay and average number of regular hours worked per week. Multiply hourly rate times regular weekly hours. Multiply result times number of weeks for balance of year and add to YTD for an annualized base salary. 2.If the person has no other sources of income (for example: overtime, bonus, commissions, second jobs, interest, dividends, child support, alimony, public assistance), this will be the Current Total Annual Income. 3.Compare the total annual income in #2 above to Paystubs, VOE’s, previous year’s income per W2's and tax returns. You should not find significant differences. In some cases, the Current Total Annual Income will be higher than the previous year's income. Variances should be attributable to increases/decreases in pay or number of hours worked. You should not find significant differences. In some cases, the Current Total Annual Income will be higher than the previous year's income. Variances should be attributable to increases/decreases in pay or number of hours worked.

Salaried Employees 1. Using last 4 to 6 weeks' pay stubs, identify weekly (or other frequency) rate of pay. Multiply rate times the number of regular pay periods in the year (52 weeks, 12 months, 24 semi-months) 2. If the person has no other sources of income (for example: overtime, bonus, commissions, second jobs, interest, dividends, child support, alimony, public assistance), this will be the Current Total Annual Income. 3. Compare the total annual income in #2 above to Paystubs, VOE’s, previous year’s income per W2's and tax returns. You should not find significant differences. In some cases, the Current Total Annual Income will be higher than the previous year's income. Variances should be attributable to increases/decreases in pay or number of hours worked

Business, Self Employment 1. Use the quarterly tax returns and financial statements to identify the current NET year to date income. 2. Divide the year to date income by the number of months during which it was earned and multiply times remaining number of months in year. Add to actual YTD. ADD DEPRECIATION. 3. If the person has no other sources of income (for example: overtime, bonus, commissions, second jobs, interest, dividends, child support, alimony, public assistance), this will be the Current Total Annual Income. 4. Compare the total annual income in #2 above to the previous year's income per W2's and tax returns. You should not find significant differences.

Verified Termination of Overtime, Commission, Bonus, Seasonal, Periodic, One Time Overtime, Bonus, Commissions Using last 4 to 6 weeks' pay stubs, identify the year to date total earnings of the borrower. Subtract the Current Total Base Income (see above) to arrive at the total year to date extraordinary income. If verification of termination of overtime, commission or bonus is provided in writing (i.e. a letter from an employer) or such termination is due to a change of employment, use the current YTD overtime, commission or bonus, do not annualize and add as a lump sum to the Current Total Annual Income.

ASSIST HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDELINES Page 32

Regular Overtime, Bonus, Commissions 1. Using last 4 to 6 weeks' pay stubs, identify the year to date total earnings of the borrower. Subtract the Current Total Base Income (see above) to arrive at the total year to date extraordinary income. 2. Divide the year to date extraordinary income by the number of pay periods during which it was earned (to obtain an average). Multiply times the appropriate factor (Balance of year weeks, months, semi- months, etc.) for balance of year figure and add to actual YTD extraordinary income for annual income.3. If the person has no other sources of income (for example: second jobs, interest, dividends, child support, alimony, public assistance), this will be the Current Total Annual Income. 4. Compare the total annual income in #2 above to Paystubs, VOE’s, previous year’s income per W2's and tax returns. You should not find significant differences. In most cases, the Current Total Annual Income will be higher than the previous year's income. It will also generally be higher than the annualized year to date income. The variances should be attributable to increases/decreases in pay.

Interest, Dividends 1. Use current earnings statements issued by the bank, investment broker or agent. Identify the year to date interest or dividend earnings. Divide by the investment term year to date (for an average) and multiply times appropriate factor to annualize the earnings.2. If statements are not available, and the terms of the investment agreement are available, multiply the principal amount of the asset times the annual interest yield factor for a projected interest earnings amount. 3. If neither are available, use the previous year's earnings statements or tax returns to identify total annual interest and dividend income. If the assets are still invested in the same instruments, use the previous year's figure. 4. Add the result of the computation in either #1, #2 or #3 above to the Current Total Annual Income.

Alimony, Child Support 1. Use the monthly amount appearing in the divorce decree, separation agreement or other support document. 2. If the borrower receives more than the amount stipulated in the agreements, use the monthly figure that the borrower declares and can be verified. 3. If the borrower receives less than the amount stipulated in the agreements and there is a verifiable history of the underpayments for at least 2 years (as evidenced by Court records), then use the past 2 years' historical monthly earnings. If there is no such history that can be verified, use the amount stipulated in #1 above. 4. Multiply the monthly amount of alimony or child support times 12. Add to the Current Total Annual Income (plus any other income sources).

Pensions, Temporary Payments 1. Use the benefits statement issued by the benefits provider (pensions, workers compensation, disability compensation, social security, AFDC, etc.) to identify the amount of the benefit, payment frequency and expected term of the benefit. 2. Multiply the amount of the benefit times the payment frequency for the balance of year and add to actual YTD for an annualized amount. Add to the Current Total Annual Income (plus any other income sources). 3. If the benefit is absolutely not payable to the recipient beyond a given date (that means a complete and permanent stop of benefits without extensions, exceptions, waivers or other conditions) and such date is within 12 calendar months of the anticipated closing date, then calculate the benefits expected through the end of the benefits term. That will be the total annual income amount from the specific benefits source. Add to the Current Total Annual Income (plus any other income sources).

Boarder’s Income and Rental Income in One Unit Properties The Boarder’s wages/income and rental income paid to the borrower must be included in the program calculation of income.

Rental Income from 2-4 Unit Properties Anticipated rental income from the property being purchased is not included in the program calculation of income but may be treated as detailed in Agency (FHA, VA, Freddie, etc) guidelines. If the borrower’s own other rental property from which income is derived, that income must be included in the program calculation of income.

PROGRAM FORMS This topic addresses the specific program forms required for the program for originating, processing, closing and loan delivery. All forms are found on the ehousingplus program page behind security as they are auto-fill.

A complete Mortgage File to US Bank must include all standard Agency (i.e. FHA, VA, etc. forms).

While forms may be downloaded on your PC or laptop, going to the Website for forms each time you need them assures that the most current version is being used.

The simple rule of who signs program forms – if the person is named on the Mortgage/Deed, they sign the program forms. If they are not on the Mortgage/Deed, they do not sign the program forms. Also, remember cosigners cannot live in property, do not sign program documents or take title. Having people sign documents who should not sign is as incorrect as not having all sign who should. Under no circumstances may a cosigner’s name appear on title or warranty deed, only those on credit sign the 1003 and HUD-1.

Original, personal signatures of all borrowers and sellers are required and must match on all documents associated with the transaction.

Whenever a party is known in any of the documents by more than a single name, a Name Affidavit Will Be Required.

Powers of Attorney and/or Personal Representatives for the Borrower Are Not Acceptable. Exception: Active Duty Military Personnel may provide an “Alive and Well” letter.

COMPLIANCE FORMS There are no forms signed prior to closing. Prior to closing, the Lender’s Underwriter completes the online Underwriter’s Certification. After the Certification is submitted online, Lenders may access program forms that are auto-fill. There are four forms used on every loan -- Affidavits/Certification Form that contains (3 sections as noted below), Lender Commitment Form and Award Letter (required for all loans) and the Compliance File Checklist. In cases where there is a cosignor, there is a Cosignor Affidavit.

At closing, the borrower(s) and those secondarily liable on the Note (but not cosignors) sign the Mortgagor’s Affidavit. Sellers sign the Builder/Seller Affidavit and Lender’s sign the Lender’s Certification that are part of the Affidavits-Certification form. Cosignors do sign the Cosignor Affidavit.

There are two letters required in response to ML 2013-14 -- Lender Commitment Form and Award Letter. Follow distribution shown on bottom of Award Letter. The Commitment Form is printed and retained by lender, a copy in the FHA Case Binder and a copy to US Bank with US Bank form USB-002. Provided by US Bank.

The Compliance Checklist should be used to ship the Compliance File to eHousingPlus.

Delivery/Funding FormsThe Servicer provides checklists on their site for submission of the Mortgage File. There is a link on the eHousingPlus website for this program to U S Bank’s website.
