I understand the Servicer may pull a current credit report on all borrowers obligated on the Note. I am willing to commit to credit counseling if it is determined that my nancial hardship is related to excessive debt. If I was discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding subsequent to the execution of the Loan Documents, or am currently entitled to the protections of any automatic stay in bankruptcy, I acknowledge that Servicer is providing the information about the mortgage relief program at my request and for informational purposes, and not as an attempt to impose personal liability for the debt evidenced by the Note. I understand that if the Servicer offers me a Trial Period Plan and I fail to accept or complete the trial plan for any reason, including, for example, declining the trial plan offer, failing to accept the trial plan offer, failing to make trial plan payments in a timely manner or failing to accept a nal modication at the end of the trial period, I may permanently lose eligibility for a modication under the Making Home Affordable Program and any other modication program offered by the Servicer. If I am eligible for a trial period plan, repayment plan or forbearance plan, and I accept and agree to all terms of such plan, I also agree that the terms of this Acknowledgment and Agreement are incorporated into such plan by reference as if set forth in such plan in full. My rst timely payment following my servicers determination and notication of my eligibility or prequalication for a trial period plan, repayment plan or forbearance plan (when applicable) will serve as acceptance of the terms set forth in the notice sent to me that sets forth the terms and conditions of the trial period plan, repayment plan or forbearance plan. I agree that when the Servicer accepts and posts a payment during the term of any repayment plan, trial period plan or forbearance plan it will be without prejudice to, and will not be deemed a waiver of, the acceleration of my loan or foreclosure action and related activities and shall not constitute a cure of my default under my loan unless such payments are sufcient to completely cure my entire default under my loan. I agree that any prior waiver as to my payment of escrow items to Servicer in connection with my loan has been revoked. If I qualify for and enter into a repayment plan, forbearance plan or trial period plan, I agree to the establishment of an escrow account and the payment of escrow items if an escrow account never existed on my loan. I consent to being contacted concerning this request for mortgage assistance at any email address or cellular or mobile telephone number I have provided to the Lender. This includes text messages and telephone calls to my cellular or mobile telephone. That all of the information in this document is truthful and the hardship(s) identied on page 2 is/are the reason that I need to request a modication of the terms of my mortgage loan, a short sale or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. I understand that the Servicer, the U.S. Department of Treasury, owner or guarantor of my mortgage or their agents may investigate the accuracy of my statements and may require me to provide additional supporting documentation. I also understand that knowingly submitting false information may violate federal and other applicable law. I understand that if I have intentionally defaulted on my existing mortgage, engaged in fraud or misrepresented any fact(s) in connection with this request for mortgage relief, the Servicer may cancel any mortgage relief granted and may pursue foreclosure on my home and/or pursue any available legal remedies. I have not received a condemnation notice; and there has been no change in the ownership of the Property since I signed the documents for the mortgage that I want to modify, and: a) For consideration for the Home Affordable Modication Program (HAMP) or unemployment assistance, my property is owner-occupied and I intend to reside in this property for the next twelve months, or b) For consideration for the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA), my property has been owneroccupied within the last twelve months.

I understand that the Servicer will collect and record personal information, including, but not limited to, my name, address, telephone number, Social Security Number, credit score, income, payment history, government monitoring information and information about account balances and activity. I understand and consent to the disclosure of my personal information and the terms of any mortgage relief or foreclosure alternative that I receive by the Servicer to (a) the U.S. Department of the Treasury; (b) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in connection with their responsibilities under the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan; (c) any investor, insurer, guarantor or servicer that owns, insures, guarantees or services my first lien or subordinate lien (if applicable) mortgage loan(s); (d) companies that perform support services in conjunction with any other mortgage relief program; and (e) any HUD certied housing counselor. I understand that I have the right to a copy of any property valuation used in connection with the decision on the request for a modication. If I want to receive a copy of the valuation, I will submit a request with my name, address and loan number within 90 days of the date that servicer makes a decision on my request at the following address: Chase, Attn.
