to you at closing. This fee will be refunded if the mortgage loan offered in this Agreement fails to close within the rate lock period for reasons unrelated to, and not caused, either directly or indirectly, by you. Other lock options may be available. Ask us for details.

Settlement Date. Upon acceptance of this Agreement, settlement must occur within the rate lock period applicable to your loan product as specified above, if you have locked the rate, or if no rate lock period applies by [insert date]. If we permit an extension of these periods, extension fees may apply. Extension fees are not included in the Guaranteed Loan Settlement Charge.

II. GUARANTEED LOAN SETTLEMENT CHARGE

We provide you a GUARANTEED LOAN SETTLEMENT CHARGE for packaged settlement services required to complete your mortgage. This GUARANTEED LOAN SETTLEMENT CHARGE does not include (i) any charge of a type payable in a comparable cash transaction, (ii) any amount charged to satisfy underwriting conditions, including conditions regarding the mortgage property's compliance with applicable laws and ordinances, (iii) any amount charged by a borrower-selected settlement service provider if different from the packager-selected provider of that service, and (iv) charges due to unforeseeable and extraordinary circumstances. You will pay this GUARANTEED LOAN SETTLEMENT CHARGE in addition to the OTHER REQUIRED SETTLEMENT COSTS itemized in Section III. The precise services for each transaction may vary.

Upon request we will notify you whether we have obtained certain reports, such as a pest inspection, our valuation of the property, our inspection of title and/or a credit verification, if any. Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of any pest inspection report we receive.

The GUARANTEED LOAN SETTLEMENT CHARGE may vary if: (i) the loan amount or loan product changes; and/or (ii) you select settlement service providers for packaged services other than those we generally use.

III. OTHER REQUIRED SETTLEMENT COSTS:

In addition to the GUARANTEED LOAN SETTLEMENT CHARGE, you are or may be required to pay advance mortgage, hazard and flood insurance premiums, and to establish escrow reserves at settlement. Some of these costs may vary depending on when your loan closes and how much insurance you are required to obtain. In addition, you may be required to pay a lock-in fee if and when you decide to lock in the conditional interest price. No lender required cost may be imposed on you at settlement that is not specifically itemized and estimated in this Section other than the Guaranteed Loan Settlement Charge (or items expressly excluded from such Guaranteed Loan Settlement Charge) as described in Section II.

I may pay your compensation for the services you provide out of my pocket directly.

If I want to lower the amount I compensate you out of my pocket directly:

> I may use the proceeds of the loan to pay some or all of your compensation, in which case I will be obligated to repay that amount with interest over the term of the loan.

I understand that I should discuss with you in further detail the specific options available to me to pay for your compensation, including the impact of each such option on the amount of cash I must bring to the closing, my interest rate, loan amount and monthly payments.
