2/15/2013 Loan Number 7130783025

The borrower and co-borrower, if applicable (“you”), of the above loan contacted the Servicer (“we”) because your mortgage
payments are no longer affordable and you would like to avoid foreclosure.
After listing your residential property for sale, you executed the Contract and have now requested that we approve it. However,
the proceeds from the sale may not be sufficient to pay off your loan.
This Notice describes the requirements a short sale must meet in order to participate in the HAFA Short Sale Program. This
Notice does not constitute an approval of the Contract. If we ultimately approve the Contract and you comply with the terms
described below, we will accept the net sale proceeds from the sale of your property as the payoff of the mortgage loan even
though the proceeds are expected to be less than the full amount due.

Short Sale Program – If a Contract is Approved, the Following Terms and Conditions will Apply:
1. Allowable Costs that May be Deducted from Gross Sale Proceeds
a. Closing Costs. The closing costs paid by you or on your behalf as seller must be reasonable and customary for the
market. Acceptable closing costs, including the commission, which may be deducted from the gross sale proceeds, may
not exceed 10% of the gross sales price.
b. Subordinate Liens. We have the option of allowing a total of up to the lesser of $8,500 or maximum amount
allowable by investor to be paid from the sale proceeds to help get subordinate mortgage lien releases. As described
above, if you have these types of liens or loans on your property, please gather any paperwork you have (such as your last
statement) and send it to us promptly. Remember, clearing these other liens and delivering clear and marketable title is
your responsibility. We require each subordinate lien holder to release you from personal liability for the loans in order
for the sale to qualify for this program, but we do not take any responsibility for ensuring that the lien holders do not seek
to enforce personal liability against you. Therefore, we recommend that you take steps to satisfy yourself that the
subordinate lien holders release you from personal liability.
c. Real Estate Commissions. We will allow to be paid from sale proceeds, real estate commissions as stated in the listing
agreement between you and your broker, not to exceed six percent (6%) of the contract sales price, to be paid to the
listing and selling brokers involved in the transaction. Neither you nor the buyer may receive a commission. Any
commission that would otherwise be paid to you or the buyer must be reduced from the commission due on sale.
d. [This section does not apply if the property is vacant]: Occupant Relocation Assistance. If you or a Tenant occupy the
property as a principal residence and you wish to receive (or have your Tenant receive) relocation assistance, you must
inform us in writing of your request. Alternatively, you may send a signed, hard copy of your request to the mailing
address listed above. You will be required to certify under penalty of perjury at closing that the property is occupied as a
principal residence by (i) yourself; (ii) a Tenant; or (iii) your legal dependent, parent or grandparent who is living in the
property rent-free.
To receive relocation assistance, the occupant must be required to vacate as a condition of the sale. In addition, you must
provide (i) evidence that the property is your/their principal residence, which in the case of a Tenant may include
information concerning the tenant, a copy of the lease agreement or other evidence of occupancy; and (ii) a certification
signed by each occupant that will receive relocation assistance attesting to the occupant’s compliance with Section 1481
of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. 111-203) (the Dodd-Frank Certification).
We will provide you with a Dodd-Frank Certification form(s). If you fail to deliver the Dodd-Frank Certification prior to
the closing of the sale of the property, the relocation assistance will not be paid. Upon your compliance with the
conditions of the sale, we will instruct the settlement agent to pay the occupant from the sale proceeds at the same time
that all other payments, including the payoff of our first mortgage, are disbursed by the settlement agent. Only one
payment per household is provided for the relocation assistance, regardless of the number of occupants.

2. Property Maintenance and Expenses. You are responsible for all property maintenance and expenses of your property until
the closing of an approved short sale, including utilities, assessments, association dues, and costs for interior and exterior
maintenance. Additionally, you must report any and all property damage to us and file a hazard insurance claim for covered
damage. Unless insurance proceeds are used to pay for repairs or personal property losses, we may require that they be
applied to reduce the mortgage debt.
3. HAFA Affidavit. At closing the buyer and seller will be required to execute an affidavit certifying that the sale is an “arm’s
length” transaction and the seller and buyer are unrelated to each other by family, marriage or commercial enterprise. The
affidavit will also include an agreement by the buyer not to sell the property within 30 days of closing of the sale, or between
31 and 90 calendar days of the sale for a price greater than 120 percent of the gross sales price.
4. Foreclosure Sale Suspension. We will postpone any foreclosure sale until a decision is made plus any extensions that we
may grant in writing, or until the closing date of an approved short sale, whichever is later. Please note that we may still
initiate foreclosure or continue with existing foreclosure proceedings as permitted by the mortgage documents during this
period.
5. Satisfaction and Release of Liability. If all of the terms and conditions of the approved short sale are met, upon sale and
settlement of the property, we will prepare and send to the settlement agent for recording a lien release in full satisfaction of
the mortgage, foregoing all rights to pursue a deficiency judgment.
6. Mortgage Insurer or Guarantor or Investor Approval. The terms and conditions of the short sale are subject to the written
approval of the mortgage insurer or guarantor or investors of the loan.
7. Termination of Short Sale. Unless otherwise stipulated by us in writing, any approval of the short sale may be terminated if:
a. You fail to authorize us to discuss your personal financial information with your broker or others involved in the sale;
b. Your financial situation improves significantly, you qualify for a modification, you bring the account current or you pay
off the mortgage in full;
c. You or your broker fails to act in good faith in closing on the sale of the property or otherwise fails to abide by the terms
of this letter;
d. A significant change occurs to the property’s condition or value;
e. There is evidence of fraud or misrepresentation;
f. You file for bankruptcy and the Bankruptcy Court declines to approve the short sale transaction;
g. Litigation is initiated or threatened that could affect title to the property or interfere with a valid conveyance; or
h. You do not sign and return the attached Hardship Affidavit form.
8. Settlement of a Debt. The proposed transaction represents our attempt to reach a settlement of the delinquent mortgage.
There is no guarantee that the Contract will be approved or, if approved, the transaction will be successful. In the event the
Contract is not approved, or, if approved, the transaction is unsuccessful, the Servicer may exercise all remedies under the
mortgage, including foreclosure.
9. Possible Income Tax Considerations. We will report the difference between the remaining amount of principal you owe and
the amount that we receive from the sale to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on Form 1099C, as debt forgiveness. In some
cases, debt forgiveness could be taxed as income. The amount, if any, we pay you or your Tenant for moving expenses may
also be reported as income. We suggest that you contact the IRS or your tax preparer to determine if you may have any tax
liability.
10. Credit Bureau Reporting. We will follow standard industry practice and report to the major credit reporting agencies that your
mortgage was settled for less than the full payment. We have no control over, or responsibility for, the impact of this report on
your credit score. To learn more about the potential impact of a short sale on your credit, you may want to go to

53 Agostino,
Irvine CA
92614
All Parties to the contract to purchase aforementioned property dated: __________________________________________
This HAFA Affidavit (“Affidavit”) is given by the Seller(s) and Buyer(s) to the Servicer of the mortgage loan secured by the
Property (“Mortgage”) in consideration for the mutual and respective benefits to be derived from the short sale of the Property
with a scheduled closing date. This affidavit is to be executed before or at the time of closing of the sale of the Mortgaged
Premises by all Borrower(s), purchaser(s), real estate brokers representing any of the parties, the escrow/closing agent performing
the closing of the sale, and the transaction facilitator facilitating the sale (if any) certifying under penalty of perjury that to the best
of each signatory's knowledge and belief:
(a) The sale of the Mortgaged Premises is an "arm's length" transaction, between parties who are unrelated and unaffiliated by
family, marriage, or commercial enterprise;
(b) There are no agreements, understandings or contracts between the parties that the Borrower will remain in the Mortgaged
Premises as a tenant or later obtain title or ownership of the Mortgaged Premises, except to the extent that the Borrower is
permitted to remain as a tenant on the Mortgaged Premises for a short term, as is common and customary in the market but
no longer than ninety (90) days, in order to facilitate relocation;
(c) Neither the Borrower(s) nor the purchaser(s) will receive any funds or commissions from the sale of the Mortgaged
Premises. The Borrower may receive a payment if it is offered by the Servicer, approved by Freddie Mac and reflected on
the HUD-1 Settlement Statement;
(d) There are no agreements, understandings or contracts relating to the current sale or subsequent sale of the Mortgaged
Premises that have not been disclosed to the Servicer;
(e) All amounts to be paid to any party, including holders of other liens on the Mortgaged Premises, in connection with the
short payoff transaction have been disclosed to and approved by the Servicer and will be reflected on the HUD-1 Settlement
Statement;
(f) Each signatory understands, agrees and intends that the Servicer and Freddie Mac are relying upon the statements made in
the affidavit as consideration for the reduction of the payoff amount of the Mortgage and agreement to the sale of the
Mortgaged Premises;
(g) A signatory who makes a negligent or intentional misrepresentation agrees to indemnify the Servicer and Freddie Mac for
any and all loss resulting from the misrepresentation including, but not limited to, repayment of the amount of the reduced
payoff of the Mortgage;
(h) The certification will survive the closing of the transaction; and
(i) Each signatory understands that a misrepresentation may subject the party making the misrepresentation to civil and/or
criminal liability
You cannot list the property with or sell the property to anyone that you are related to or with whom you have a close personal or
business relationship. In legal language, it must be an “arm’s length transaction.” If you have a real estate license, you cannot
earn a commission by listing your own property. You may not have any agreements to receive a portion of the commission or the
sales price after closing.
The purchaser of a property subject to a HAFA short sale must agree not to resell the property within 90 calendar days
of closing. This provision is amended to prohibit any resale of the property within 30 calendar days of closing and further
prohibit any resale of the property for 31 to 90 calendar days after closing for a gross sales price greater than 120 percent
of the gross sales price of the HAFA transaction.
