BROKER COMPENSATION ADDENDUM

This New American Funding Broker Compensation Addendum (“Addendum”) is entered into this ____day of , 20___ (“Effective Date”), by and between ______________________ (“Broker”) and Broker Solutions Inc., a California Corporation doing business as New American Funding, unless operating under its current name (hereinafter referred to as “New American Funding” and/or “Lender”), and hereinafter collectively referred to as party or parties. Broker will be compensated by New American Funding in accordance with the requirements under the Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”)(15 USC 1601 et seq.) and its implementing Regulation Z Section 226.36, as well as all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. This Addendum constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Broker’s compensation as of the Effective Date stated above.

A. Source of Compensation. For every Mortgage Loan transaction submitted to New American Funding, the Broker must choose the source of Broker compensation from the following options:

1) Lender Paid Compensation; or2) Borrower Paid Compensation.

Broker will inform New American Funding of the Broker’s choice for the source of compensation by checking the box corresponding to either Borrower Paid Compensation OR Lender Paid Compensation on the initial submission form at time of submission.

B. Lender Paid Compensation. Lender Paid Compensation is Broker compensation paid by the Lender to the Broker. When the Lender pays the Broker’s compensation, the Broker will be paid according to the Lender Paid Compensation Plan in place as of the Effective Date, notwithstanding any subsequent changes to the Broker’s compensation plan after rate lock and prior to loan closing. Broker must select a Lender Paid Compensation Plan by checking the appropriate box(es) below. The Broker may select a Lender Paid Compensation Plan with a percentage beginning at three quarters of one percent (0.75%) and which is available in increments of one quarter of one percent (0.125). Broker’s compensation will be paid by the Lender, and shall be based on the option selected below. If Broker does not select a Lender Paid Compensation Plan below, New American Funding will use default Lender Paid Compensation Plan chosen by New American Funding, in its sole discretion, and which will remain effective until Broker selects a Lender Paid Compensation Plan. Please select one of the following Broker compensation levels:

Plan A - 0.750% Plan A1 - 0.750% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan B - 0.875% Plan B1 - 0.875% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan C - 1.000% Plan C1 - 1.000% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan D - 1.125% Plan D1 - 1.125% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan E - 1.250% Plan E1 - 1.250% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan F - 1.375% Plan F1 - 1.375% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan G - 1.50% Plan G1 - 1.500% with $500 Flat FeeContinued on page 2

Broker Compensation Addendum Initial________ Page 1 of 5

Plan H - 1.625% Plan H1 - 1.625% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan I - 1.750% Plan I1 - 1.750% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan J - 1.875% Plan J1 - 1.875% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan K - 2.000% Plan K1 - 2.000% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan L - 2.125% Plan L1 - 2.125% with $500 Flat Fee

Plan N - 2.375%

Plan O - 2.500%

Plan P - 2.625%

Plan Q - 2.750%

Plan R - 2.875%

Notwithstanding the Lender Paid Compensation Plan selected above, Broker may choose a maximum dollar amount compensation if desired by checking this box and selecting a dollar amount below. If this box is checked, Broker understands and acknowledges that compensation on any Mortgage Loan submitted may not exceed this threshold provided, however, the Maximum Dollar Amount Compensation cannot exceed the Lender’s Limit.

Maximum compensation per loan: $7,500 $10,000 $12,500 $15,000 $17,500 $20,000

Brokers with branches in multiple states may choose a different level of Lender Paid Compensation based on the additional costs to operate branches in each state location. However, Broker's compensation must be set at the same Compensation Plan Level for every branch located in any given state. Please check this box and complete Exhibit 1 to the Broker Compensation Addendum if this applies.

For a Lender Paid Compensation transaction, the Broker compensation amount cannot vary per loan transaction. New American Funding cannot pay the Broker any more or any less than the amount agreed upon in this Addendum unless otherwise restricted by product, which from time to time may be modified by Lender and described on rate sheets provided by Lender, and subject to the Lender's limit. Notwithstanding, Lender Paid Compensation may not exceed Broker's selection in this section. In a Lender Paid Compensation transaction, Broker agrees that Broker cannot reduce Broker’s own compensation or offer credits towards third-party closing costs that will result in a reduction of the Broker’s compensation. By choosing the Lender Paid Compensation Plan, Broker may not receive any compensation from the consumer or from any other party, person or entity, regardless of whether such compensation is paid at closing or outside of escrow. Broker certifies that when compensation is paid by Lender with respect to each Mortgage Loan transaction, such amount is and will be Broker’s sole source of compensation.

C. Borrower Paid Compensation. Borrower Paid Compensation is Broker compensation paid by the Borrower to the Broker from the Borrower’s own funds or loan proceeds, or from any other source on behalf of the Borrower. Borrower Paid Compensation may include seller concessions.


Borrower Paid Compensation is negotiated by the Broker directly with the Borrower and may vary on each individual Mortgage Loan transaction. Under a Borrower Paid Compensation transaction, the Broker can reduce its compensation or offer credits toward third-party closing costs. New America Funding will not be responsible nor a party to any Broker negotiations with the Borrower in a Borrower Paid Compensation transaction. By choosing to be compensated by the Borrower, the Broker may not receive any compensation directly or indirectly from any other person or entity regardless of whether such other compensation is paid through closing or outside of escrow.

D. Compensation Limits. Regardless of whether the Broker has chosen to be paid by either Lender Paid Compensation or Borrower Paid Compensation, Broker compensation will not exceed any applicable federal, state and/or local high-cost loan limitations.

E. Third Party Costs. In a Mortgage Loan transaction in which the Broker has selected Lender Paid Compensation (the “Lender Paid Transaction”), the Lender shall be the only person or entity which shall pay the Broker compensation based on Section B above. In a Lender Paid Transaction, a Borrower may choose a higher interest rate to cover the third-party closing costs only. Any excess amounts remaining after the payment of third-party closing costs shall be returned to the Lender. None of the excess amounts may be paid to the Broker as compensation.

F. Dual Compensation Prohibited. Broker understands and agrees that Broker compensation received from both the Borrower and any person or entity other than the Borrower (including the Lender) for the same transaction is prohibited.

G. Changes to Lender Paid Compensation Plan. Both parties agree that changes or revisions of the Lender Paid Compensation Plan will be made as follows:

1) Change of Compensation Level Frequency.

a) Broker may choose from time to time to change the Lender Paid CompensationPlan as follows:

1) The initial Lender Paid Compensation Plan Level must remain in force for aminimum of thirty (30) days from date of selection. At that time, the Broker may select a new Plan Level. If a Broker has branches in multiple states, a new Exhibit 1 to the Broker Compensation Addendum must be completed should Broker wish to change plans in each state. To request a change, please complete a "Lender Paid Compensation Plan Change Request" form.

2) After the initial thirty (30) day period, the Broker may choose to change theLender Paid Compensation Plan every ninety (90) days from the last date of change. To request a change, please complete a "Lender Paid Compensation Plan Change Request" form.

b) No Change Election. If Broker chooses not to change the initial Lender PaidCompensation Plan selected in Section B. above, or does not elect to change in subsequent periods when eligible, then the initial selection in Selection B, or any subsequent change set forth in the most recent “Lender Paid Compensation Plan Change Request” form, will remain in full force until changed by the Broker’s duly authorized agent.

H. Compensation Plan Administrator. Broker will designate one person to be the Compensation


Plan Administrator (“Administrator”). The Administrator will be the person with the sole authority to select and change the Broker’s Compensation Plan on behalf of Broker. The Broker hereby designates the following person as the Administrator and their primary email address is included below:

Print name: __________________________________________________

Title: ________________________________________________________

Primary Email: ________________________________________________

The Broker may change the designated Administrator by providing New American Funding with written notice signed by the Broker of Record.

I. Anti-Steering Disclosure. In accordance with Regulation Z Section 226.36(d) and (e), which implements TILA, Mortgage Lenders are prohibited from steering Borrowers to accept a Mortgage Loan based solely on the fact that the loan originator will receive greater compensation for arranging a Mortgage Loan unless the transaction is in the Borrower’s interest. For each Mortgage Loan submitted by the Broker to New American Funding, regardless of whether the compensation source is Borrower Paid or Lender Paid, the Broker must provide to the Borrower a Loan Options Disclosure which describes the options (“Loan Options”) that must be presented to the Borrower for each type of Mortgage Loan in which the Borrower expresses an interest. The types of Mortgage Loan for which the Broker is required to disclose Loan Options if the Borrower expresses an interest are fixed-rate, adjustable rate and reverse Mortgage Loans.

The Loan Options Disclosure must include a notice and acknowledgement by a representative of the Broker that the following have been offered to the Borrower for each type of Mortgage Loan in which the Borrower has expressed an interest:

1) The loan with the lowest interest rate;

2) The loan with the lowest interest rate without certain specified features such negativeamortization, prepayment penalty, interest-only payments, a balloon payment within the firstseven years of the loan, a demand feature, shared equity or shared appreciation, or in thecase of a reverse mortgage, a loan without a prepayment penalty, shared equity or sharedappreciation ; and

3) The loan with the lowest total dollar amount for origination points or fees and discount points.

The Broker must obtain Loan Options from three of more Mortgage Lenders with which the Broker regularly and currently does business. In the event that the Broker does not do business with three or more Mortgage Lenders, the Loan Options must be obtained from those Mortgage Lenders with which the Broker does business. With regard to the Loan Options presented to the Borrower in the Disclosure, the Broker represents that he or she has a good faith belief that the Borrower likely qualifies for each one. The Broker can present more than three Loan Options to the Borrower provided that the Broker highlights the three Loan Options which satisfy the criteria above.

For ARM Loans, the lowest interest rate is determined by the fully-Indexed rate at closing without regard for discounts or premiums.


The Loan Options Disclosure must be acknowledged by a representative of the Broker and included in the loan file at loan submission.

J. Payment of Loan Officers. Broker shall be solely responsible for the payment of compensation to its loan officers. Broker agrees that all compensation paid by Broker to Broker’s loan officers must be in compliance with all of the requirements of TILA and Regulation Z, the LO Compensation Rules as well as all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

K. Conflicts. This Addendum supersedes all prior broker compensation addendums between the parties and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Broker’s compensation as of the Effective Date stated above and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous oral agreements between the parties. There are no oral agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Addendum. In the event of a conflict among any terms contained in this Addendum and the New American Funding Broker Agreement (“Agreement”), this Addendum shall control. All other terms in the Agreement not in conflict with this Addendum shall remain in full force and effect.

L. Counterparts. This Addendum may be executed in counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed an original, and all counterparts shall be deemed the same instrument with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same signature page.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Addendum as of the date first written above.

Purpose of Form

An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)

• Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds)

• Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds)

• Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers)

• Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)

• Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)

• Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), 1098-T (tuition)

• Form 1099-C (canceled debt)

• Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding? on page 2.

By signing the filled-out form, you:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected income, and

4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting? on page 2 for further information.

Cat. No. 10231X Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2014)

Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2014) Page 2

Note. If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;

• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States;

• An estate (other than a foreign estate); or

• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States:

• In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity;

• In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and

• In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items:

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup Withholding

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 28% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code on page 3 and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Also see Special rules for partnerships above.

What is FATCA reporting?

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code on page 3 and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Specific Instructions

Line 1

You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.

If this Form W-9 is for a joint account, list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9.

a. Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

Note. ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application.

b. Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2.

c. Partnership, LLC that is not a single-member LLC, C Corporation, or S Corporation. Enter the entity's name as shown on the entity's tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

d. Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

e. Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a “disregarded entity.” See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner's name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner's name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity's name on line 2, “Business name/disregarded entity name.” If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.


Line 2

If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, you may enter it on line 2.

Line 3

Check the appropriate box in line 3 for the U.S. federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on line 1. Check only one box in line 3.

Limited Liability Company (LLC). If the name on line 1 is an LLC treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes, check the “Limited Liability Company” box and enter “P” in the space provided. If the LLC has filed Form 8832 or 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, check the “Limited Liability Company” box and in the space provided enter “C” for C corporation or “S” for S corporation. If it is a single-member LLC that is a disregarded entity, do not check the “Limited Liability Company” box; instead check the first box in line 3 “Individual/sole proprietor or single-member LLC.”

Line 4, Exemptions

If you are exempt from backup withholding and/or FATCA reporting, enter in the appropriate space in line 4 any code(s) that may apply to you.

Line 5

Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number). This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information returns.

Line 6

Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited Liability Company (LLC) on this page), enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note. Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.


Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if items 1, 4, or 5 below indicate otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on line 1 must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt payee code earlier.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 5 below.

1. Interest, dividend, and barter exchange accounts opened before 1984 and broker accounts considered active during 1983. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

2. Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983. You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

3. Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.

4. Other payments. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification unless you have been notified that you have previously given an incorrect TIN. “Other payments” include payments made in the course of the requester’s trade or business for rents, royalties, goods (other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services (including payments to corporations), payments to a nonemployee for services, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, payments to certain fishing boat crew members and fishermen, and gross proceeds paid to attorneys (including payments to corporations).

5. Mortgage interest paid by you, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, qualified tuition program payments (under section 529), IRA, Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA or HSA contributions or distributions, and pension distributions.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

• Protect your SSN,

• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

• Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to [email protected]. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: [email protected] or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338).

Visit IRS.gov to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.

Privacy Act Notice

Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons (including federal agencies) who are required to file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, or certain other income paid to you; mortgage interest you paid; the acquisition or abandonment of secured property; the cancellation of debt; or contributions you made to an IRA, Archer MSA, or HSA. The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS, reporting the above information. Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and possessions for use in administering their laws. The information also may be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Under section 3406, payers must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payer. Certain penalties may also apply for providing false or fraudulent information.

BROKER’S COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE LENDING

As a Broker approved to submit loans to New American Funding. Broker and its employees (“Broker”) acknowledges the following:

1. Broker affirms that our primary obligation is to act in the best interest of the Borrower. Therefore:Borrower Eligibility Broker will not knowingly submit an application for a non-prime loan for a borrower who is eligible for, and whose needs are best met by, a prime loan. No High Cost Loans New American Funding is a responsible lender committed to reasonable points and fees; therefore Broker will not make “High Cost” loans (as defined by HOEPA, Section 32 and applicable state high cost lending laws or regulations). Repayment Ability Broker will consistently consider the financial ability and credit worthiness of the borrower to repay the loan in order to avoid default and foreclosure. Broker will determine creditworthiness and ability to repay through the use of objective, empirically derived, statistically significant credit bureau scoring and proprietary factors, among other factors and will not rely solely on the equity in the home as a means of determining borrower's ability to repay. Broker will only submit to NewAmerican Funding any loans that are appropriate to this true ability. Flipping/Equity Stripping New American Funding does not itself engage in, nor does it allow Brokers approved to do business with New American Funding to engage in the practice of soliciting consumers, who have recently obtained a loan with New American Funding, in order to refinance their loans unless there is a bona fide net tangible benefit to the borrower. Credit Insurance Broker acknowledges that New American Funding prohibits the financing of credit insurance products in connection with mortgage loans Privacy and Confidentiality Broker warrants that it is in compliance with all federal and state privacy laws. Broker commits to protecting every customer’s confidential information by utilizing property information security safeguards and secure document disposal.

LOAN FRAUD - ZERO TOLERANCE

All approved Loan Brokers must be aware that the licensed real estate broker bears the responsibility for all actions of his or her employees or licensees. The broker is responsible for the content and quality of each application taken and each loan submitted to LENDER. The submission of a loan application containing false information is a crime.

TYPES OF LOAN FRAUD: Submission of inaccurate information, including false statements on loan application(s) and falsification of documents purporting to substantiate credit, employment, deposit and asset information including identity, ownership/non-ownership of real property, etc.

1. Forgery of partially or predominantly accurate information.

2. Incorrect statements regarding current occupancy or intent to maintain minimum continuingoccupancy as stated in the security instrument.

3. Lack of due diligence by broker/loan officer/interviewer/processor, including failure to obtain allinformation required by the application and failure to request further information as dictated byBorrower’s response to other questions.

4. Unquestioned acceptance of information or documentation, which is known, should be known, orshould be suspected to be inaccurate.a. Simultaneous or consecutive processing of multiple owner-occupied loans from one Applicant on

multiple properties, or from one applicant supplying different information on each application.b. Allowing an applicant or interested third-party to “assist” with the processing of the loan.

5. Broker’s non-disclosure of relevant information.

CONSEQUENCES

The effects of “Loan Fraud” are costly to all parties involved. LENDER stands behind the quality of its loan production. Fraudulent loans cannot be sold into the secondary market and, if sold, will require repurchase by LENDER. Fraudulent loans damage our reputation with our investors and mortgage insurance providers. The price paid by those who participate in “Loan Fraud” is even more costly. Following is a list of a few of the potential consequences that may be incurred:

CONSEQUENCES TO BROKER

1. Criminal prosecution.

2. Loss of Real Estate Broker’s License.

3. Loss of lender access due to exchange of information between lenders, mortgage insurancecompanies, including submission of information to investors (FHLMC/FNMA/GNMA), PoliceAgencies, and the Department of Real Estate, and MIDEX. Civil action by New American Funding.

4. Civil action by applicant/borrower or other parties to the transaction.

5. Loss of approval status with New American Funding.

Loan Fraud Page 1 of 2Initial________

CONSEQUENCES TO BORROWER

1. Acceleration of debt (FNMA/FHLMC Deed of Trust, revised 9/90). Item #6 states: “Borrower shallalso be in default if Borrower, during the loan application process, gave materially false or inaccurateinformation or statements to lender (or failed to provide lender with any material information) inconnection with the loan evidenced by the Note, including, but not limited to, representationsconcerning Borrower’s occupancy of the Property as a principal residence.” NOTE: Foreclosureunder this section of the Deed of Trust does not require the Borrower to be in “payment default”.” Assuch, the Borrower will not have the benefit of reinstatement. In order to cure the default, theBorrower must pay off the loan in full prior to the sale of the property.

2. Criminal prosecution

3. Civil action by LENDER

4. Civil action the other parties to transaction, such as seller or real estate agent/broker

5. Employment termination

6. Loss of professional licenses

7. Adverse effect on credit history
