What is HAMP?
A uniform loan modification process through whicheligible borrowers can have their loans modified to amore affordable monthly payment targeted at 31
percent of their gross monthly income
Lets begin by defining HAMP which is a uniform loan modification process through which borrowers
who are in default, at risk of imminent default, or in foreclosure can have their loans modified to a moreaffordable monthly payment targeted at 31 percent of their gross monthly income. Before themodification is finalized, the borrower must successfully complete a trial payment period.
HAMP is a key component of the Obama Administrations Making Home Affordable initiative that wasintroduced on March 4th, 2009. It is intended to provide relief to millions of homeowners who arestruggling to make their mortgage payments. The program will accept new borrowers throughDecember 31, 2012 and offers significant benefits to borrowers, servicers, and investors alike.

Reduced mortgage payments to sustainable levels
Annual pay for performance principal balancereduction for first five years as incentive to keepmodified loan current Applies to borrowers whose monthly payments are reduced by
at least 6 percent
Calculated as lesser of $1,000 ($83.33/month) or half ofreduction in borrowers annualized monthly payment
Borrowers who satisfy eligibility requirements for HAMP will receive much-needed help, whether they
are struggling to keep their loans current or have already fallen behind with their mortgage payments.
With HAMP, borrowers monthly mortgage payments will be reduced to sustainable levels.
Plus, borrowers whose monthly payments are reduced by at least six percent, will have an additionalfinancial incentive to keep their modified loan current. For the first five years following completion of themodification, they will receive a pay for performance reduction in their principal loan balance, providedtheir modified loan is in good standing. The amount of this reduction is calculated as the lesser of$1,000 or one-half of the reduction in the borrowers annualized monthly payment.

Benefits to participating servicers
Avoid foreclosures and help make mortgages moreaffordable for borrowers
Financial incentives $1,000 for each completed modification
$500 additional for a modification of a current loan for whichpayment default was imminent
Additional annual incentive for modifications that reduceborrowers monthly payments by at least 6 percent
For first three years
Provided modified loan is in good standing
Calculated as lesser of $1,000 ($83.33/month) or half ofreduction in borrowers annualized monthly paymentamount
As a participating servicer in HAMP, youll contribute to the housing recovery effort by avoiding
foreclosures and help make mortgages more affordable for borrowers.
For doing so, youll be compensated in the amount of $1,000 for each modification you complete plus,$500 for each modification of a current loan for a borrower facing imminent default.
Additionally, youll receive an additional payment for modifications that result in reducing the borrowersmonthly payment by at least six percentprovided the loan remains in good standing. This incentivewill be paid for the first three years of a modification and calculated as the lesser of $1,000 or half ofthe reduction in the borrowers annualized monthly payment amount.

Benefits to investors
Monthly payment subsidies for the first five years ascompensation for reduction in borrower payments ofhalf of the payment difference between:
Borrowers monthly payment at target monthly mortgagepayment ratio of 31 percent, and
Lesser of borrowers monthly payment at 38 percent, orborrowers pre-modification monthly payment
One-time bonus payment of $1,500 for each loan thatwas current prior to the start of the trial paymentperiodprovided monthly payments are reduced by atleast 6 percent
Additional incentive payments will be paid in marketshardest hit by falling home prices
Investors in non-GSE loans that agree to a loan modification under the Home Affordable Modification
Program receive financial incentive payments, provided the loan servicer has entered into a ServicerParticipation Agreement. Note that for loans held in a lenders portfolio, the lender is considered theinvestor.
During the first five years of a loan modification, the investor will receive monthly payment subsidies ascompensation for agreeing to reduced borrower payments. Each subsidy payment is equal to half of thepayment difference between the borrowers monthly payment at the target monthly mortgage paymentratio of 31 percent and the lesser of the borrowers monthly payment at 38 percent or theborrowers monthly amount prior to the modification.
Additionally, for each modified loan that was current at the start of the borrowers trial payment period,the investor will receive a one-time payment of $1,500 provided the borrowers monthly payments are
reduced by at least 6 percent.
For loans on properties that are located in markets that are hardest hit by falling home prices, additionalincentive payments will be automatically calculated and payable to the investor. For details, refer toTreasurys Supplemental Directive 09-04, which can be accessed from the Web site,www.HMPadmin.com.

Step 1: Request that borrower provide Initial
Package documents
Effective for all trial period plans with effective dates onor after June 1, 2010, you may evaluate a borrower for
HAMP only after you receive the following documents,referred to as the Initial Package
Request for Modification and Affidavit (RMA) Form
IRS Form 4506-T or 4506T-EZ
Evidence of Income and Dodd-Frank Certification
Effective for all trial period plans with effective dates on or after June 1, 2010, you may evaluate a
borrower for HAMP only after you receive the following documents, referred to as the initial packageRequest for Modification and Affidavit (RMA) FormIRS Form 4506-T or 4506T-EZEvidence of Income
The RMA Form provides the servicer with borrower and co-borrower financial information including thecause of the borrowers hardship. The financial and hardship sections of the RMA must be completedand executed by the borrower and, if applicable, the co-borrower. It also solicits data related to therace, ethnicity and gender of the borrower and co-borrower, referred to as Government Monitoring Data(GMD); however, you may not refuse to accept an RMA if this sections is not completed. The RMAForm is available on www.HMPadmin.com.
You may use other proprietary financial information forms that are similar in content to the RMA.However, if you do use other forms then you must obtain an executed MHA Hardship Affidavit. Astandalone version of which is available on www.HMPadmin.com.
All borrowers must provide a signed and completed IRS 4506-T or 4506T-EZ. The 4506T-EZ isencouraged because of its relative simplicity. Both forms are available, in English or Spanish, onwww.HMPadmin.com. The borrower must print, sign and send the form to his/her servicer.
The borrower must provide income verification documentation. Allowable documents aredescribed in the Borrower Income/Asset Documentation and Verification of Eligibility section ofSupplemental Directive 10-01. The income evidence and financial information must not be more than90 days old as of the date the Initial Package is received by the servicer.
Lastly, the Dodd-Frank Certification must be received from the borrower. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Refoand Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) provides that no person is eligible to begin receiving assistaunder the MHA Program if such person, in connection with a mortgage or real estate transaction, has beenconvicted within the last 10 years of any of the following: Felony larceny, theft, fraud, forgery Money laundering; or Tax evasionA servicer must obtain a completed Dodd-Frank Certification from each borrower.

Step 1: and verify completeness
Within 30 calendar days following receipt of an InitialPackage, you must review the documentation provided
by the borrower for completeness If the documentation is incomplete, you must send the
borrower an Incomplete Information Notice:
Lists the additional required verification documentation
Include a specific date by which the documentation must bereceived (no less than 30 calendar days from the date of thenotice)
Within 30 calendar days following receipt of an Initial Package, you must review the documentation
provided by the borrower for completeness.
If the documentation is incomplete, you must send the borrower an Incomplete Information Notice that:Lists the additional required verification documentationIncludes a specific date by which the documentation must be received (no less than 30 calendar daysfrom the date of the notice)
If the documents are not received by the date specified in the notice, you must make one additionalattempt to contact the borrower in writing regarding the incomplete documents. This additional noticemust include the specific date by which the documentation must be received which must be no lessthan 15 calendar days from the date of the second notice. If the borrower is still unresponsive, you maydiscontinue document collection efforts and determine the borrower ineligible for HAMP. If this is the
case, you must inform the borrower and consider other loss mitigation options.

Step 2: Verify eligibility
Borrowers are owner occupants of a one- to four-unitproperty
Unpaid principal balance of loan is equal to or less than $729,750 for one-unit properties
$934,200 for two-unit properties
$1,129,250 for three-unit properties
$1,403,400 for four-unit properties
Borrowers loan is a first lien originated on or beforeJanuary 1, 2009
Borrowers total mortgage payment exceeds 31% of theirgross monthly income
Loan was not previously modified under HAMP
The next step in processing a modification under HAMP is to verify the borrowers eligibility.
Potential candidates may not necessarily be behind in their payments, but will have experienced afinancial hardship resulting in a significant change in their income or expenses that has made itincreasingly difficult for them to make their payments.
To be considered for HAMP, borrowers must meet all of the following requirements.- The property securing the loan must be their primary residence. If it is a two- to four-unit property, theymust occupy one of the units.- The property cannot be vacant or condemned.- The unpaid principal balance of the loan must not exceed $729,750 if it is a one-unit property.Higher limits apply to properties with two- to four-units.- The loan must be a first lien that was originated on or before January 1, 2009.
- The borrowers total mortgage payment including principal, interest, taxes, insurance, andhomeowner association dues must exceed 31% of their verified gross monthly income.- And finally, the loan must not have previously been modified under HAMP as loans can only bemodified under the program once.
Note that while borrowers are being considered for HAMP, any foreclosure proceedings shouldtemporarily be suspended.

Step 2: verify eligibility (cont.)
Determine legitimate financial hardship, including oneor more of the following causes Reduction or loss of income
Change in household financial circumstances
Increase in expenses
Lack of sufficient cash reserves
Excessive monthly debt payments
Other reasons for hardship
Next, you must determine financial hardship and review the borrowers financial information.
You will need to determine they have experienced a legitimate financial hardship. Legitimate causes offinancial hardship include one or more of the followingA reduction or loss of income,A change in household financial circumstances,An increase in expenses,A lack of sufficient cash reserves excluding retirement accounts and emergency funds,Excessive monthly debt payments and overextension with creditors, orOther reasons for hardship.
Borrowers who inform you about a hardship while they are current or less than 60 days delinquent mustbe screened for imminent default. In making this determination, you will need to evaluate the
borrowers financial condition in light of the hardship and inquire about the condition of the propertysecuring the loan. Once you make the determination of imminent default, you must document the basisfor your decision in your servicing system and retain any documentation that was used to reach it,including information on the borrowers financial condition and circumstances of the property securingthe loan.

Step 2: verify eligibility (cont.)
Review borrowers financial condition, including
Monthly gross income Borrowers income before any payroll deductions
If only net income available, multiply it by 1.25 to estimatemonthly gross income
Monthly mortgage payment Borrowers monthly housing payments
Do not include mortgage insurance premium payments orpayments to holders of subordinate liens
Monthly mortgage payment ratio Borrowers monthly mortgage payment divided by monthly
gross income
Must exceed 31 percent to be eligible for modification
Next, you perform a review of the borrowers financial condition.
You must first determine whether the borrowers monthly mortgage payment ratio exceeds 31% - oneof the eligibility requirements for HAMP. To do so, you must first determine the borrowers monthlygross income.
The borrowers monthly gross income is the amount of total income before any payroll deductions.Income includes wages, salary, overtime fees, commissions, tips, social security, pensions, and allother income. Monthly net income may be used to estimate monthly gross income at this early stage,although borrowers will be required to provide income documentation later in the process. To do so,multiply monthly net income by 1.25 for an estimated monthly gross income.
Next, determine the borrowers monthly mortgage payment. Include in this calculation the total of
principal, interest, taxes, hazard and flood insurance, homeowners association and/or condominiumfees but do not include mortgage insurance premium or payment to subordinate lien holders.
Finally, calculate the monthly mortgage payment ratio to determine whether it is greater than 31percent. The monthly mortgage payment ratio is the ratio of the borrowers monthly mortgage paymentto monthly gross income.
If you find that a borrower is not eligible for HAMP at this stage, you should inform the borrower andconsider other foreclosure prevention alternatives.

Monthly gross expenses
Borrowers total housing payments plus all recurring monthlydebt payments
Obtain credit report to validate Monthly debt ratio
Borrowers monthly gross expenses divided by monthly grossincome
If exceeds 55 percent, must send Home AffordableModification Program Counseling Letter to borrower
In addition, you will need to verify the borrowers monthly gross expenses and monthly debt ratio.
The monthly gross expenses are the borrowers total housing payments plus all recurring monthly debtpayments, including installment loans, revolving credit accounts, monthly payments on all subordinateliens and more. For a detailed list, refer to Treasurys Supplemental Directive 09-01, which can beaccessed from the Web site, www.HMPadmin.com.
To validate the borrowers installment debt and other liens, you must obtain a credit report for eachborrower or co-borrower.
The monthly debt ratio is the borrowers monthly gross expenses divided by monthly gross income. Ifthe monthly debt ratio exceeds 55 percent, you must send the Home Affordable Modification ProgramCounseling Letterto the borrowers requiring that they work with a HUD-approved counselor to reduce
their monthly debt to less than 55 percent of monthly gross expenses. The letter includes a list of localHUD-approved housing counseling agencies and directs the borrower to the appropriate HUD website.Note that face-to-face counseling is preferred, although telephone counseling is acceptable, provided itcovers the same topics as face-to-face sessions.

Step 2: and calculate proposed payment
amount
Follow these stepsin this orderuntil target of 31%monthly mortgage payment ratio is reached:1. Capitalize accrued interest, escrow advances, and
servicing advances by adding to loan balance (ifallowed by applicable law)
2. Reduce interest rate in .125% increments, to not lessthan 2%
3. Extend mortgage term up to 480 months
4. Provide principal forbearance only if needed to reach31% target
Lastly, add monthly mortgage insurance payment (ifapplicable) and monthly escrow payment to be collected
The next step in the process is to calculate the proposed monthly mortgage payment amountand
perform the NPV test.
To calculate the proposed monthly payment amount, complete each step listed here and proceed tothe next one only if needed, to reach the target of 31 percent monthly mortgage payment ratio.First, capitalize any amounts due from the borrower to cover accrued interest, plus to reimburse you forescrow advances you incurred to cover taxes and insurance premiums, or servicing-related expenses.Note that late fees may not be capitalized and must be waived if the borrowers satisfy all terms of thetrial period plan. In the case of escrow advances, you will need to perform an escrow analysis todetermine whether there are sufficient funds in the borrowers escrow account, taking into account anytax and insurance premiums that may come due during the trial period. Any shortage that is identifiedwould be included in the capitalized balance as permitted by applicable laws
Next, reduce the interest rate. If the loan is a fixed-rate mortgage or an adjustable-rate mortgage, usethe current interest rate as the starting interest rate. In the case of an ARM loan that is scheduled toreset in the next 120 days, the starting interest rate is the greater of the current rate or the reset rateusing the index value as of the date of the evaluation. Now, reduce the starting interest rate inincrements of 1/8 percent to get as close as possible to a 31% target for the monthly mortgagepayment ratio. In all cases, the interest rate floor is 2 percent. Note that if the resulting interest rate isbelow the market rate as of the date the trial period plan is prepared, after 5 years, the interest rate willneed to be stepped up in annual one percent increments or less, if needed to reach the applicablemarket rate of interest that was in effect when the modification documents were prepared. From thatpoint on, the interest rate will remain fixed for the remaining life of the loan. Also note that, while youmay choose to reduce the borrowers monthly mortgage payment ratio to below 31 percent, allincentive payments will be calculated and paid based on the target ratio of 31 percent
Next, extend the mortgage term to up to 480 months from the modification date, re-amortizing thepayments over the extended term.
Finally, if you still have not reached a 31% monthly mortgage payment ratio, provide for principalforbearance, which will result in a balloon payment fully due and payable upon the earlier of theborrowers transfer of the property, payoff of the interest bearing balance, or loan maturity. Theprincipal forbearance amount is non-interest bearing and non-amortizing. You may also opt for principalforgiveness.

Once you have calculated the proposed payment amount, add the amounts to be collected monthl
cover mortgage insurance payments if applicable and escrow collections. In the case of a
nonescrowed loan that is being considered for HAMP, you must establish an escrow deposit accou
and advise the borrower of this requirement before the start of the trial payment period.
Beginning on October 1, 2010, servicers must evaluate any mortgage loan that is being considered
HAMP with a mark-to-market LTV ratio greater than 115% using both the standard modification wa(described previously) and the alternative modification waterfall, which includes principal reduction

Step 2: and perform NPV test
Compares the net present value (NPV) of cash flowswith modification and without modification
If NPV test is positive Indicates NPV is greater with modification
In this case, HAMP must be offered (exceptions apply)
If NPV test is negative
Indicates NPV is greater without a modification
In this case, the servicer may decidesubject to the investorsapproval, if applicablewhether or not to offer HAMP(exceptions apply)
The Net Present Value or NPV test is used to determine whether a Home Affordable Modification is
required.
It provides a comparison of the net present value of the economic results that would be expected with amodificationversus without a modification.
If the NPV test result is positive this indicates that the net present value is greaterwitha modification.In this case, you are required to pursue with the borrowers a modification under HAMP although someexceptions apply.
Conversely, if the NPV test result is negative this indicates that the net present value is greaterwithnomodification. In this case, it is up to yousubject to the investors approvalwhether or not topursue a modification under HAMP although some exceptions apply. If you decide against it, you will
need to explore other foreclosure prevention options, including alternative modification programs,deeds-in-lieu, preforeclosure sale programs, and the Hope for Homeowners refinance option.
To perform the NPV test, you will enter a property valuation into an NPV model. For the propertyvaluation, you may use an automated valuation model, provided it offers a reliable confidence score or a brokers price opinion.
The NPV Model and instructions for submitting proposed modification data and retrieving andinterpreting the results can be found on the website, www.HMPadmin.com. The instructions alsodescribe the exceptions that may apply.

Step 3: Inform the borrower
Within 30 calendar days following receipt of an InitialPackage, you must complete verification of the
borrowers eligibility, calculate the proposed paymentamount and perform NPV test. If the borrower is deemed eligible, then send the borrower a Trial
Period Plan Notice
If the borrower is deemed ineligible, you must communicate thisdetermination to the borrower and consider other loss mitigationoptions
Within 30 calendar days following receipt of an Initial Package, you must complete verification of the
borrowers eligibility, calculate the proposed payment amount and perform NPV test.If the borrower is deemed eligible, then send the borrower a Trial Period Plan NoticeIf the borrower is deemed ineligible, you must communicate this determination to the borrower andconsider other loss mitigation options
The Trial Period Plan Notice describes the terms of the trial modification and the payment due dates.
Borrowers are not required to sign the TPP Notice but a servicer must retain a copy of the TPP Noticein the borrower file and note the date it was sent.
Note that beginning December 1, 2009, when a mortgage loan has been evaluated for HAMP, thencertain data including identifying information, government monitoring data, NPV model input data and
reason codes must be collected and reported to Fannie Mae, as program administrator. Prior to June 1, 20a mortgageloan has been evaluated for HAMP using stated information, if one of the following has occurr
- A borrower has submitted a written request (either hardcopy or electronic submission) for considerationfor a HAMP modification which includes, at a minimum, current borrower income and a reason fordefault or explanation of hardship, as applicable; or- A borrower has verbally provided sufficient financial and other data to allow the servicer to complete aNet Present Value (NPV) analysis; or- A borrower has been offered a Trial Period Plan
A borrower has been evaluated for HAMP using verified information on or after June 1, 2010 if the borrowsubmitted an initial package to the servicer.
The data must be provided as per the Schedules outlined in Supplemental Directive 09-06 which isavailable on www.HMPadmin.com and reported via the HAMP Reporting Tool which is also available atwww.HMPadmin.com.

Generally, three months in duration May last longer, if required by applicable contract terms
During trial period
Must report loan-level data through www.HMPadmin.com
Apply trial payments to loan balance once total at least fullcontractual monthly payment
The trial payment period lasts for three months - although it may be longer, if necessary, to comply with
the terms of any applicable contracts with an investor, for example.
During the trial period, you must report your collections through www.HMPadmin.com. For detailedinstructions for establishing loans in the HAMP reporting system and reporting collection activity,including specific data elements, refer to the job aids that are accessible on www.HMPadmin.com.
As trial period payments are collected, they should be held as unapplied funds, provided this ispermitted by the applicable loan documents and applicable law. Once the amount of trial periodpayments collected total at least a full monthly contractual payment amount, it must be applied as apayment to the loan balance. Any funds remaining as unapplied at the end of the trial period should beapplied to the loan balance.

Once modification is executed (cont.)
Additional reporting requirements Monthly full-file status reports to major credit repositories
Compliance with all reporting required by mortgage insurer
Transfers of servicing If transfer servicing of modified loans to another servicer, must
provide special notification to receiving servicer
If modified loan becomes 90 or more days delinquent No longer eligible for borrower, servicer, or investor incentives
Will not be eligible for another modification under HAMP
Evaluate borrower for other loss mitigation options
Once a loan is modified, you will need to continue to report a full-file status report to the four major
credit repositories. Full-file means that you must describe the exact status of each mortgage as of thelast day of each month. In the case of borrowers who are current when they enter the trial period, youmust report them as current but on a modified payment.
In addition, you will need to comply with all reporting required by mortgage insurers. Consult with themortgage insurer for their specific requirements related to the reporting of modified terms, payment ofpremiums, and payment of claims for mortgages modified under HAMP.
If at some point, you transfer the servicing of loans that have been modified under this program toanother servicer, you will need to provide special notification to the receiving servicer to advise thatloans modified under HAMP are part of the portfolio being transferred. Additionally, you must confirmthat the receiving servicer has entered into a Servicer Participation Agreement, is aware of the special
requirements for these loans, and agrees to assume the additional responsibilities associated withservicing them. Note that the Servicer Participation Agreement includes an assumption and agreementform that must be used for transfers of servicing.
If a modified loan subsequently becomes 90 or more days delinquentthat is, three payments are dueand unpaid as of the last day of the third monththe loan will no longer be considered in goodstandingwhich means that it will no longer be eligible for incentive payments. Once lost, goodstanding cannot be restored even if the borrower subsequently cures the default. If a borrower is unableto cure the default, you will need to evaluate the borrower for any other available foreclosure preventionalternatives.
