(1)

Bears the genuine signature of the Borrower and all other parties to the instrument, is complete and regular on its face, and is valid and enforceable against the Borrower; and

(2)

Contains an acceleration clause which provides for acceleration of maturity either automatically or at the option of the holder, in the event of default in payment of any installment upon the due date thereof; and

(3)

Contains payment and maturity requirements meeting the following specifications: The Note shall be payable in approximately equal monthly installments, the first of which shall fall due within six months and the last within sixty months and 32 days from the date of the Note. If the principal income of the Borrower is derived from a seasonal operation or business, the Note may be made payable in installments corresponding with the seasonal variation in Borrower's income shown on his application for credit; provided the first installment is payable within twelve months of the date of the Note; and further provided that the sum of installments to be paid in any year subsequent to the first year shall not be greater than the proportion of the total debt which is to be paid in the first year; and further provided that a token payment is due in each off-season month; and

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO RECOVERY

Prior to making a Loan, the Assured shall obtain a dated credit application fully executed by the Borrower. The credit application supplemented by such other information as the Assured deems necessary, must, in the judgment of the Assured, clearly show the Borrower to be solvent, with reasonable ability to repay the Loan, and in other respects a reasonable credit risk. If, after the Loan is made, the Assured discovers any material misstatements in the credit application, or misuse of the proceeds of the Loan by the Borrower, the Assured shall promptly report such discovery to the Company.

The Assured shall exercise due diligence in disbursing proceeds of loans and in effecting collections and shall service its Loans in accordance with acceptable practices of prudent lending institutions.

All payments received on - account of the Note, except late charges, must be applied to the maturing installments in their order, except that any sum received by the Assured in excess of three advanced monthly payments shall be credited to the final installments in the absence of specific written instructions from the Borrower to do otherwise.

Claim may be made after Default provided written demand has been made on the Borrower for the full unpaid balance of the Note. The Company reserves the right to require the Assured to reduce the Note to judgment subject to the limitations of the terms of the Note.

3.

NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND FILING OF CLAIMS FOR LOSS

Should a Default continue for a period of 90 days, notice thereof must be filed with the Company monthly thereafter, on the form prescribed by the Company until the Default is cured or a claim of Loss filed. A claim for Loss may be filed as to an individual Loan at any time after Default but in no event later than six months after Default unless the Company shall grant an extension of the claim period in writing. Claims shall be filed on Proof of Loss forms provided by the Company, which shall include' an assignment of the Assured's interest in the defaulted Note to the Company or such other person as may be designated by the Company as assignee.

4.

PAYMENT OF LOSS

All adjusted claims shall be paid or made good within thirty days after presentation of satisfactory evidence of Loss to the Company.

5.

LIMIT OF LOSS

In addition to the limitations heretofore set out, the Company shall be obligated to pay hereunder only the full unpaid balance of the Note or of the actual purchase price thereof, whichever is lesser, less the unearned discount thereon, plus

a.

uncollected earned interest to date of Default and interest at the rate of 4% per annum from the date of Default to the date of presentation of Proof of Loss; plus

b.

uncollected court costs (including fees paid for issuing, serving and filing summons); plus

c.

attorneys' fees actually paid, not exceeding:

(1) 25 percent of the amount collected by the attorney on the defaulted Note provided the Assured does not waive its claim against the Borrower for such fees; plus

(2) $25.00 or 15 percent of the balance due on the Note, whichever is the lesser, if a judgment is secured by suit, or $10.00 or 15 percent of the balance due on the Note, whichever is the lesser, if a judgment is secured by confession after default; plus

(3) $50.00 plus 5 percent of the balance due on the Note as an additional fee where the action is contested and judgment is obtained;

less any part of the foregoing amounts which the Assured has collected from others, or which the Assured can collect from a reserve or holdback funds in its hands.

6. SUBROGATION

In the event of any payment under this Policy, the Company shall be subrogated to all of the Assured's rights of recovery against the Borrower and any other person or organization liable under the terms of the defaulted Note and against any reserve or holdback funds in its hands, and the Assured shall execute and deliver at the request of the Company instruments and papers and do whatever else is necessary to transfer, assign and secure such rights. The Assured shall do nothing after Loss to prejudice such rights, and the execution by the Assured of a release or waiver of the right to collect the unpaid balance of a Loan shall equally release the Company from any further obligation under this Policy as to said Loan, anything in this Policy to the contrary notwithstanding.

7. TRANSFER OR PREPAYMENT OF LOANS REPORTED FOR INSURANCE

All liability under this Policy with respect to any individual loan shall terminate upon sale or transfer (including without limiting the generality of application of this section, transfers pursuant to, or resulting from merger or consolidation of the Assured with any other corporation or company) of such loan, or the note evidencing same, to any transferee not holding a similar Policy issued by the Company.

Such sales or transfers may be made to a transferee holding a similar Policy issued by the Company only with the prior written approval of the Company. In the event of such a sale or transfer, the continuing liability of the Company to the transferee with regard to the loan or loans sold or transferred shall be ten percent of the aggregate unpaid balance of the net proceeds of such loan or loans at the time of transfer or sale, and the aggregate limit of liability of the Company to the Assured hereunder shall be reduced by an equal amount.

In no event will the Company refund any premium to the Assured upon the sale or transfer of any loan or loans insured hereunder.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent the pledging of such loans, or the notes evidencing the same, as collateral security under a bona fide loan agreement.

In the event that the Borrower shall prepay an eligible loan for which the required premium has been paid by the Assured to the Company, upon receipt of a report of such prepayment and application for premium refund on the form prescribed by the Company, the Company shall return to the Assured a premium refund calculated according to the sum-of-the-digits method, and the aggregate cumulative liability of the Company hereunder shall be reduced by ten percent of the original net proceeds of said loan.

8. REPORTS AND EXAMINATION

The Company may at any time call upon the Assured for such reports as it may deem necessary and may inspect the books or the Accounts of the Assured as they pertain to the Loans reported for insurance hereunder. All Loans reported to the Company for insurance hereunder shall be identified by methods satisfactory to the Company on the records of the Assured.

9. AMENDMENTS

Notice to any agent or knowledge possessed by any agent or by any other person shall not effect a waiver or a change in any part of this Policy or estop the Company from asserting any right under the terms of this Policy. The terms of this Policy may be waived or changed only after written approval of the Company and by an endorsement signed on behalf of the Company by its President, Vice President or Secretary and countersigned by a duly authorized representative of the Company.

10. MISREPRESENTATION AND FRAUD

The Policy shall be void if the Assured has concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance concerning this insurance or the subject thereof or in case of any fraud, attempted fraud or false swearing by the Assured touching any matter relating to this insurance or the subject thereof whether before or after a loss, or if the Assured shall make any claim which is false or fraudulent either in amount or otherwise.

11.OTHER INSURANCE

If at the time of Loss or Default there is any other valid and collectible insurance which would attach if this insurance had not been effected, this insurance shall apply only as excess and in no event as contributing insurance, and then only after all other insurance has been exhausted.

12. ASSIGNMENT OF POLICY

This Policy shall be void if assigned or transferred without the written consent of this Company, whether such transfer be voluntary or involuntary.

13. SUIT AGAINST COMPANY

No suit, action or proceeding for the recovery of any claim under this Policy shall be instituted or sustainable in any court of law or equity unless Proof of Loss has been duly filed with respect thereto, and unless such suit, action or proceeding be commenced within twelve months next after Default; provided, however, that if by the laws of the State within which this Policy is issued such limitation is invalid, then any such claims shall be void unless such action, suit or proceedings be commenced within the shortest limit of time permitted by the laws of such State to be fixed herein.

14. CANCELLATION

This Policy may be cancelled by the Assured by mailing to the Company written notice stating when thereafter such cancellation shall be effective. This Policy may be cancelled by the Company by mailing to the Assured at the address shown in this Policy or last known address written notice stating when, not less than five days thereafter, such cancellation shall be effective. The mailing of notice as aforesaid shall be sufficient proof of notice and the effective date of cancellation stated in the notice shall become the end of the policy period. Delivery of such written notice either by the Assured or by the Company shall be equivalent to mailing.

Cancellation of this Policy shall not affect the insurance privilege of the Assured with respect to any loan previously reported for insurance.

15. CONFORMITY TO STATUTE

Terms of this Policy which are in conflict with the statutes of the State wherein this Policy is issued are hereby amended to conform to such statutes.
