of all its acts, doings, and proceedings relating to or requisite in connection with the discharge

of such conflict of interest.

costs to board or service the loans beyond that which was anticipated, the Contractor reserves
the right to modify the fee accordingly or terminate the Agreement. Termination under this

Professional Services Agreement — AmeriNat and the City of Lubbock
EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
Loan Servicing for Amortized and Deferred Loans
1. Introductory Package: Upon boarding of each new loan, the Contractor will send to each
borrower a welcome package. This welcome package contains a Notice of Servicing Transfer, Fair
Debt Notice, FACT Act Letter, ACH sign-up form and a supply of coupons.
2. Collection and Remittance of Payments: The Contractor will collect payments from the
borrowers through monthly or other scheduled remittances of principal, interest, fees, escrow
balances and other identified payments. These remittances will be posted to the loan and ancillary
records in accordance with the loan documents and the City's written instructions. Payments will
be posted the same day as receipt. All funds will be maintained in an FDIC insured banking
institution in a custodial account for the benefit of the City and the borrowers as applicable. The
Contractor will ensure the proper balancing of cash received and transmitted and loan portfolio
totals on a daily and monthly basis. Remittances will be forwarded to the City monthly net of fees
and other authorized charges due to the Contractor.
3. Payment of Property Taxes: At the City's request, the Contractor will monitor the timely
payment of property taxes. Tax service will be required to monitor payment of property tax.
4. Insurance Monitoring: The Contractor will notify the insurance agent in writing that the
Contractor is monitoring premium payments and that we are to be made aware of delinquencies or
cancellations. The Contractor will force place insurance in accordance with respective regulation
(see Insurance section).
5. Escrow/Impound Account: If the City chooses, the Contractor will establish an escrow/impound
account for any borrower for the payment of taxes and insurance. Many borrowers find it easier to
pay into an escrow account on a monthly basis rather than making large semi-annual or annual tax
and insurance payments. The Contractor will collect the monthly escrow payment from the
borrower and make the tax and insurance payments on the borrower's behalf. The borrower escrow
accounts will be analyzed annually in accordance with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
(RESPA). Tax service is necessary to ensure the timely and accurate payment of property taxes.
Please note: Unless respective state law requires otherwise, the Contractor's escrow analysis
utilizes a 2-month cushion in accordance with RESPA. This cushion is an industry standard and
is intended to minimize the likelihood of escrow shortages / deficits when and if escrow
disbursement items increase. If this cushion is not consistent with the City's current escrow
analysis process, borrowers' escrow analysis may result in a shortage and/or escrow payment
increase at the time of the Contractor's first analysis. This may impact borrowers' ability to make
increased monthly payments to escrow. Should the City request alternative handling of loan
accounts with escrow payment increases, this may result in the City incurring extraordinary
services charges. If the City chooses to establish an escrow/impound account for any borrower,
the Contractor will also establish a Client Escrow Deficit account. This account is used to track
and reconcile borrower accounts with escrow deficits as a result of payments made on the
borrower's behalf in excess of their escrow balance. The escrow deficit account will be reconciled
monthly and the net change will be included or deducted from the City's monthly remittance; a net
shortage/negative will be deducted and a net overage/positive will be remitted. Regardless of
Professional Services Agreement — AmeriNat and the City of Lubbock 12
whether or not the net shortage/negative is deducted from remittance, the City remains responsible
for all escrow advances made by the Contractor. At portfolio transfer the Contractor will require
a cash deposit of the total amount of positive escrow balances. Negative escrow balances will be
set zip, but the total amount of negative escrow balances will not be netted out of the positive cash
escrow balances.
6. Late Fees: In keeping with the provisions of the City's promissory note, the Contractor will
assess and retain a late fee when payment is not made within the grace period.
Lender Placed Insurance
In accordance with respective regulation, upon notification of a policy cancellation from the
borrower's insurance carrier, or when proof of a current policy is not received, the Contractor will
request lender -placed insurance from the Contractor's insurance provider.
1. Coverage is instantly bound upon receipt of request with an effective date up to 90 days prior to

2. The Contractor's insurance provider or their carrier will send out three letters to the borrower
over the course of forty-five days. If the borrower provides proof of coverage, lender -placed
coverage will be cancelled.
3. if the effective date of this coverage is the same and there is no lapse in coverage, there will be
no premium charged, if there is a lapse in coverage, there may be a fee charged to the borrower's
account for an earned premium.
4. If the borrower does not provide proof of coverage, the Contractor's insurance provider will
send an insurance policy and notification of premium to the borrower and bill the Contractor for a
one-year policy. if the borrower does not have an established impound account; the Contractor
will create one and disburse the premium from it. if the borrower fails to pay the premium before
the end of the month, and the disbursed premium results in an escrow deficit balance, said balance
will be accounted for in that month's reconciliation of the Client Escrow Deficit Account. If the
aggregate portfolio remittance for said month is insufficient to cover the deficit amount, City will
be billed and responsible for the cost until recouped from the borrower. Any pay-off quotations or
demands will reflect any impound deficit amounts (caused by the cost of any forced -place
insurance or other advances) so that the borrower will still be held responsible for the cost even if
they are unresponsive. The Portfolio Status Report, delivered monthly to the City, will also reflect
such negative impound balances (i.e. the total amount of such premiums owed by borrower).
5. The one-year policy is cancelable at any time by either the Contractor or the City.

Loss Mitigation
The Contractor provides treatment for delinquent mortgages through positive pressure that is fair
but firm. If delinquent borrowers have a positive attitude toward their obligations, we will work
with them to help them retain title to their property.
The following policy of follow-up will be adhered to by the Contractor to minimize any loss of
income to the City:
1. New Borrower Delinquency: Early delinquency can be a sign of a chronic delinquent borrower.
The Contractor forwards its first letter to new delinquent borrowers at 5 days past the first payment
due date. If there is no response, a second letter is sent at 15 days. Borrowers are invited to contact
our office to discuss difficulties they may be facing in meeting their obligations. If no response is
received to either letter, due diligence phone calls begin at 17 days' delinquent.
2. Delinquency/Default Letter Production: While most borrowers will pay without much
individual attention, delinquencies will rise because some borrowers, left alone, will fall into poor
paying habits. Therefore, letters of varying tone and composition will be sent at 15, 30 and 45 and
90 days past the payment due date. The 45-day letter will include the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) mandated notification informing the borrower of the available loss
mitigation options. The 90-day letter will detail for the borrower possible escalated collection
activity up to and including foreclosure. The letters emphasize the seriousness of the situation, the
potential for loss of the borrower's property, and demands immediate payment. The City staff will
have online access to collection notes from conversations with the City's borrowers and the
Contractor collection staff. The City will also see when delinquency notices and collection letters
are mailed.
3. Due Diligence Phone Calls: Telephone calls will be placed to all mortgage loan borrowers in
accordance with CFPB guidance and best practices. We will attempt to establish live contact with
the borrower beginning at the 17th day of delinquency with a good faith goal of establishing
contact with the borrower by the 36th day of delinquency. We will make one or more subsequent
attempts to contact the borrower every 30 days thereafter. Telephone contact offers several
advantages: it demands attention; it interrupts other activity; it establishes a personal
communication; and it requires immediate response. The objective of the call is to secure or
demand prompt payment, obtain information needed to determine the reason for the delinquency,
and to gain a commitment for future payments.
4. Credit Reporting: The Contractor will report to the credit bureaus any borrower payment activity
on a monthly basis.
5. Confirmation Letters: Contact with borrowers is used to solicit commitments to repay past due
amounts. A borrower will be provided with the opportunity to bring the loan current immediately,
and within six months. Once a commitment is gained, the Contractor will forward a confirmation
letter to document both the call and the commitment. The revised payment plan of no greater than
six month's duration is then implemented. Default under this plan may cause the Contractor to
recommend foreclosure.
Professional Services Agreement — AmeriNat and the City of Lubbock 16
Forbearance Plans
Formal forbearance plans are typically used for defaults of 90+ days. A forbearance plan of less
than six months duration is executed by the borrower and immediately implemented by the
Contractor, with notice immediately provided to the City. Formal modifications to promissory note
terms and forbearance plans of greater than six months duration are forwarded to the City for pre -
approval. Before the borrower executes the agreement, the City is requested to approve the plan.
Once approved, the Contractor will implement the new payment schedule. Should a borrower
default from the new payment schedule without cause, the Contractor will recommend foreclosure.
Forbearance Evaluation Process: A hardship is defined as a situation or set of events or
circumstances beyond the normal control of the borrower that prohibits the borrower from
adhering to a planned repayment schedule. If a borrower states, either verbally or in writing, that
a hardship situation exists, the Contractor will document the circumstances and provide the
following:
i. Letter from borrower requesting the City's consideration of hardship
ii. Nature of the hardship
iii. Expected duration of the hardship
iv. Evidence to substantiate hardship
iv. Forbearance Plan Proposal
If the City approves the Forbearance Plan Proposal and executes the agreement with the borrower,
the Contractor will resume loan servicing under the new payment plan. The file will be tickled for
follow-up at the expiration of the temporary plan.
The Contractor's objective is to formulate a plan to bring the loan current as soon as possible.
However, in light of the City original purpose in making these loans (to assist the low/moderate
income and disadvantaged citizens of its community), the Contractor may recommend forbearance
plans that defer all or part of the regular repayments for a specified period of time.
Loan Modification Analysis
I. Preliminary Scregnin& When initial contact with the borrower indicates a short term
forbearance agreement will not be enough to bring the account current, the Contractor will provide
the borrower with a "Request for Loan Modification Package."
2. Initial Analysis: Upon receipt of the Modification Package, the Contractor will review the
package to determine supporting materials are present and that the forms are complete. Support
materials may include but are not limited to, paycheck stubs, W-2's, Federal Tax Returns, bank
statements, mortgage statements, property tax bills and insurance policies. After the package is
reviewed and found to be complete, an initial analysis will be completed. The initial analysis can
be completed prior to incurring any applicable outside costs, such as ordering a credit report or
property value report if required.
3. Final Modification Analysis and Recommendation: Once all information received has been
verified, the final analysis will be developed using the City's modification program guidelines.
This analysis will reflect information such as affordability (debt -to -income ratio), status of Ist
mortgage, occupancy, and borrower's ability to pay, etc. Based on the aforementioned, the
recommendation will convey whether it is reasonable to proceed with the modification and what
Professional Services Agreement — AmeriNat and the City of Lubbock 17
type of modification will best suit the needs of the borrower and the City. The recommendation
along with the supporting documentation will be sent to the City for approval.
4. Approval: Once a loan modification has been approved, either the City or the Contractor shall
prepare and forward the required documents to the borrower for signature and recording if
applicable. After the documents have been executed, originals will be retained by the City and
copies will be sent to the Contractor.
After receipt of executed modification documents, the Contractor will make the appropriate
modifications to the loan, send the borrower new payment coupons, if applicable, and
electronically notate the account. The copied modification documents will be electronically
uploaded into the electronic paperless loan file for retention.
Loan Foreclosure
The mortgage transaction and all collections efforts are predicated on the assumption that the
borrower is motivated and able to meet the mortgage obligation. A decision to foreclose is based
on an analysis of an individual loan. We will look at the borrower with particular emphasis on
basic motivation, ability to pay; and attitude or level of cooperation. If a borrower has been
uncooperative, non -responsive, or unwilling to cure the existing default by all reasonable means,
the Contractor will recommend foreclosure.
This step is generally not taken until after a loan becomes over 120 days delinquent. Upon the
City's approval, and in accordance with respective local, state and federal statutes, the Contractor
will send the borrower a notice of intent to foreclose/demand letter, with a copy to the City. If no
response is received within 30 days, the Contractor will advise the City of the non -response. Upon
the City's direction, the Contractor will proceed to foreclosure. The Contractor will properly
document all steps taken to affect a cure.
If the loan is not reinstated or paid off, the Contractor will continue foreclosure up to and including
the sale of the property. Upon sale of the property, the Contractor will return all proceeds of the
sale to the City less foreclosure fees and any previously un-reimbursed costs incurred.
In the event the borrower reinstates the loan, the Contractor will remit to the City all payments
received from the borrower. For those loans that are reinstated by the borrower, the Contractor will
resume normal servicing functions.
Bankruptcy Administration Services
1. Chapter 13 Bankruptc.
a. Upon receipt of notification from a court of law, debtor (borrower), or the City of a Chapter
13 bankruptcy for a debtor serviced by the Contractor, the Contractor will forward a
notification letter to the City indicating intention to file a Notice of Claim as well as
supporting bankruptcy documentation. Such Notice of Claim will indicate the total amount
past due at time of Chapter 13 filing. The Contractor will then file a Proof of Claim to the
appropriate court. Upon receipt of a returned filed Proof of Claim from the court, the
Contractor will forward a copy of same to the City and will begin monitoring post and pre -
petition payments to borrower's loan account.
Professional SerNices Agreement — AmeriNat and the City of Lubbock Is
Upon any default of borrower in the remittance of post -petition payments, the Contractor
will contact the borrower's (debtor's) counsel to notify counsel of the default, instructing
that any further default will result in the filing of a Motion to Lift the bankruptcy stay. If
the borrower has no legal counsel and has filed their bankruptcy petition "pro se", (on their
own behalf) or with the assistance of a licensed paralegal; the Contractor can communicate
directly with the borrower. In addition, notification of the default will be forwarded to the
Trustee's office. Should there be a continued default in post -petition payments and at the
instruction of the City, the Motion to Lift will be filed by the Contractor and the Contractor
will begin foreclosure proceedings as directed by the City.
2. Chapter 7 Bankruptc.
a. Upon receipt of notification of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for a debtor serviced by the
Contractor, the Contractor will establish a file for the borrower and monitor payments.
Additionally, a reaffirmation agreement will be generated and forwarded to the borrower's
attorney (debtor's counsel) for signature, and to the appropriate court upon receipt of the
executed document. This fully enforceable agreement, if executed, will retain the lien as
secured and will keep the lien from being discharged as part of the Chapter 7 discharge. If
the borrower has no legal counsel and has filed their bankruptcy petition "pro se", (on their
own behalf) or with the assistance of a licensed paralegal; the Contractor can communicate
directly with the borrower.
b. Upon any default of borrower's remittance of payments during the bankruptcy, the
Contractor will contact the borrower's (debtor's) counsel advising of the default, but if
filed pro se, then the debtor would be contacted directly.
c. Should the Chapter 7 Trustee determine that assets are available for distribution to
creditors, the Contractor will file a Proof of Claim on behalf of the City, indicating total
amount due.
Subordination Processing
1. Subordination Request Package: The City, upon receiving a request for subordination, will refer
the borrower to the Contractor. The Contractor will send a Subordination Request Package to the
borrower or designee (lender or title). The City may require the borrower to pay the cost of the
subordination processing at application or the City may pay the cost upon billing from the
Contractor.
2. Review Process: The purpose of the subordination review process is to determine that the new
senior loan on the borrower's property will be made in conformance with the City's subordination
