Company's Remedies for Misrepresentation -- Subject to Section 2.4, if any of the Insured's representations as described in Section 2.2 are materially false or misleading with respect to a Loan, the Company will have at its option, the right to defend against a Claim with respect to such Loan, or to the extent permitted by applicable law, to cancel or rescind coverage under any Certificate with respect to such Loan retroactively to commencement of coverage (or if the misrepresentation occurs with respect to continuation of coverage upon assumption of a Loan, to so defend, cancel or rescind retroactively to the date of such continuation with respect to such Loan).

D.

Section 2.4 and all references thereto in the Policy are deleted in their entirety.

E.

Section 2.6a. of the Policy is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

a.

The Company must give the Insured prior notice of the due date for payment of the applicable premium payable for coverage of all Loans insured under this Policy.  The entire premium for all Loans must be paid within a forty-five (45) day grace period (or such longer grace period generally allowed by the Company) after the due date for payment, except that if a Default on a Loan occurs between the last date through which the applicable monthly renewal premium has been paid and the end of such grace period, the Insured shall not be required to pay monthly renewal premiums in connection with such Loan, and coverage of such Default will continue, while such Default exists.  If such Default is not cured and results in a Claim, such unpaid monthly renewal premiums through the renewal month in which such Default occurred shall be paid as provided in Section 6.3 by deduction from the Loss.

Upon payment of the entire premium for all Loans within such grace period, this Policy will be in effect for the applicable period of coverage and a Default on a Loan occurring within said grace period which is not cured, and which results in a Claim being filed, will be covered.

If a Default occurs prior to the date through which the entire premium for all Loans has been paid, and if such Default is not cured and results in a Claim being filed, such Default shall remain covered and no further premium on such Loan in Default shall be due in order to maintain coverage of such Default. If such Default is cured, all monthly renewal premiums not paid during the period of Default shall be payable (unless previously paid by the Insured) within forty-five (45) days or such longer period generally allowed by the Company after notice from the Company in order to continue coverage.  

If the entire premium for all Loans is not paid within the grace period, at the option of the Company, the coverage of this Policy and the Company's liability as to all Loans will terminate effective as of 12:01 a.m.

on the first day following the date through which the applicable premium has been paid and as a result, any existing or future Defaults on any of the Loans will not be covered under this Policy.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Insured shall remain obligated to continue coverage in effect and pay any premium which is due, as required by Section 2.8 of this Policy.

F.

Section 2.8 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

2.8

Cancellation by the Insured of a Certificate --- Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Policy, the Insured shall be obligated to maintain coverage of a Certificate for a Loan and to pay corresponding premiums for continuation of such coverage for each month or partial month coverage is in effect unless or until (a) the Loan is paid in full or (b) the ratio of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to the Value (as defined in Section 1.26 of the Policy) of the Property securing the Loan is at least five (5 ) percentage points less than the Original LTV minus the percentage of coverage for such Loan under this Policy or (c) if otherwise permitted in writing by the Company. Subject to the foregoing obligation of the Insured to maintain coverage, the Insured may obtain cancellation of coverage on a Loan by making a written request to the Company for cancellation of coverage on the Loan. However, no refund will be paid upon cancellation of coverage on a Loan. Cancellation of coverage on a Loan will not cancel this Policy.

G.

Section 3.5 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

3.5

Change of Insured --- Change of Insured shall only be allowed if advance written approval is obtained from the Company (which approval shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company). If coverage of a Loan is to be assigned or transferred by the Insured to a new Insured, the Insured shall request the Company's approval thereof and if the Company approves the change of Insured, the Company shall, thereafter, change its records to identify the new Insured for such Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon notice to the Company, the Insured may transfer coverage of a Loan to the Owner thereof or, upon the securitization of a Loan, to any trustee in such securitization, in each case without the prior approval of the Company; provided, however, that if in connection therewith there is a change in Servicer or if the servicing of the Loan is assumed by the new Insured or another Person, Section 3.4 of this Policy shall apply and the approval by the Company of such new Servicer, Insured or other Person shall be required.

All terms capitalized will have the meanings set forth in the Policy, except as otherwise defined herein. Nothing herein contained will be held to vary, alter, waive or extend any of the terms and conditions of the Policy, or any amendments thereto, except as expressly set forth above.
