U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION PROPERTY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS (Date) TO: (Mortgagee) (FHA Project No.) (Street Address) (City) (Project Name) (Project Location) 1. Reference is made to the applicable Administrative Regulations of the National Housing Act under which the mortgage on the above property (a) is insured by the Federal Housing Commissioner in accordance with a Commitment For Insurance or (b) will be insured by the Federal Housing Commissioner in accordance with a previously issued Commitment To Insure Upon Completion. 2. This notice is for the purpose of advising the Mortgagee of the Requirements of the Federal Housing Commissioner as to the types of Property Insurance necessary to be maintained upon the subject property and of the estimate of the Commissioner of 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 Federal Housing Commissioner. It is the duty of the 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 the mortgagee is obligated to provide Property Insurance coverage on the property in accordance with the terms of the insured mortgage upon failure of the Mortgagor to do so. 3. (a) Attached hereto and made a part hereof is Property Insurance Schedule, FHA Form No. 2329, dated __________________________ , constituting the estimate of the 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 Insurance, as well as the amount of Builders Risk Insurance. (b) The Total 100% Insurable Value reflected upon the attached Property Insurance Schedule includes the cost of excavations, foundations, piers, or other supports which are below the surface of the lowest basement floor or where there is no basement, which are below the surface of the 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 Federal Housing Commissioner's estimate of the Total 100% Insurable Value for the purpose of estimating the amount or Builders Risk Insurance or the amount of Permanent Insurance. form FHA-2447 (3/74) American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkflow.com -24.

It shall be written upon the standard Builders Risk Completed Value form, for Fire, Extended Coverage and Vandalism and Malicious Mischief Insurance, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Insurable Value of the completed building or buildings.

Each policy 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 Federal Housing Commissioner, Federal Housing Administration, Washington, D, C., his successors or assigns, as interest may appear.

(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 shall 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 Federal Housing Commissioner, Federal Housing Administration, Washington, D.

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. (c) BOILER EXPLOSION INSURANCE - If the boiler or boilers located in the subject property are other than steamboilers, 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 $50,000 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 $50,000 is inadequate. In that event a greater amount of coverage should be provided. Determi
