the Total 100% Insurable Value of the property. The attention of the Mortgagee is directed to the fact that these Requirements, with respect to the
types of Property Insurance to be maintained, are continuous Requirements, as long as any mortgage upon the property is insured by the Assistant
Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner. It is the duty of Mortgagee to require of the Mortgagor maintenance of insurance in types
and amounts necessary to comply with the Requirements hereinafter stated and as stated in the insured mortgage. The attention of the Mortgagee is
also directed to the pertaining Administrative Regulations wherein of the insured mortgage upon failure of the Mortgagor to do so.

__________________________, constituting the estimate of the Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner of the Total 100%
Insurable Value of the property. The Property Insurance Schedule of Insurable Values is for the purpose of estimating the amount of Permanent

ground, underground flues, pipes, and drains. These items are generally excluded from the Property Insurance coverage when it is subject to the
provisions of the Coinsurance Clause or similar clause. If the Builders Risk Insurance or the Permanent Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance does
not insure these items, then an amount acceptable to the Mortgagee may be deducted from the Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing
Commissioner’s estimate of the Total 100% Insurable Value for the purpose of estimating the amount of Builders Risk Insurance or the amount of
Permanent Insurance.

5.

PERMANENT INSURANCE

(a) Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance shall be provided for the subject property and may be either blanket coverage or by specific
allocations to individual structures. Such insurance shall be evidenced by standard Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance policy or policies, in
amounts not less than necessary to comply with the applicable Coinsurance Clause percentage, but in no event shall the amounts of coverage be less
than 80% of the Insurable Values or not less than the unpaid balance of the insured mortgage, whichever is the lesser.
(b) The Permanent Insurance policy or policies show the Mortgagor as the Insured and shall carry the standard form of Non-Contribution
Mortgage or Mortgagee Clause, showing loss, if any, payable to the Mortgagee (name and address) and the Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal
Housing Commissioner, DHUD, Washington, D.C., his successors or assigns, as interest may appear. The original of such policy or policies shall be
retained in the possession or control of the Mortgagee shall be maintained in full force and effect.
(c) BOILER EXPLOSION INSURANCE. If the boiler or boilers located in the subject property are other than steam boilers, specific
Boiler Explosion Insurance generally is not required. If there is a steam boiler or boilers in operation in connection with the subject property, specific
Boiler Explosion Insurance is required. In determining the adequacy of the amount or amounts of this coverage there must be careful review and
consideration of all the facts and exposures for the purpose of estimating the maximum possible amount of a single loss by steam boiler explosion.
The minimum limit of Boiler Explosion Insurance, when required, is per accident, per location. After due examination of all the related information
in any given case, it may be determined this required minimum limit of $100,000 is inadequate. In that event a greater amount of coverage should be
provided. Determination of such amount is the responsibility of the Mortgagee.
(d) Boiler Explosion Insurance, as herein required, shall be evidenced by standard form of Boiler and Machinery policy or policies
showing the Mortgagor as the Insured and shall have attached standard Mortgagee Interest Endorsement, showing loss, if any, or property of the
Insured, to be adjusted with and payable to the Insured and the Mortgagee (name and address) and the Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal
Housing Commissioner, DHUD, Washington, D.C., his successors or assigns, as their interests may appear. The original of such policy or policies
shall be retained in the possession or control of the Mortgagee and shall be maintained in full force and effect.

available under the National Flood Insurance Act.)

□ REQUIRED

□ NOT REQUIRED

Flood insurance shall be provided for the subject property during the term of the mortgage loan. The insurance shall be in an amount at least
equal to the outstanding principal balance of the loan, or the maximum amount at insurance available with respect to the project under the National
Flood Insurance Act, whichever is lesser. The policy shall show the mortgagor as insured and shall show loss, if any, payable to the mortgagee
(name and address) and the Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner, Washington, D.C., his successors or assigns, as their
interests may appear. The original of such policy or policies shall be retained in the possession or control of the mortgagee and shall be maintained
in full force and effect.
7.

certificates or memoranda of insurance or other evidence of the foregoing insurance overages be submitted to him or to any of his field offices or
