7 7 Making Home Affordable | August 2014 Net Present Value (NPV) Model NPV will be run as a single evaluation process. The standardized NPV test will be run simultaneously for both HAMP Tier 1 and Tier 2 if the borrower meets the eligibility requirements for HAMP Tier 1.

8 8 Making Home Affordable | August 2014 HAMP Tier 1 modifications included interest rate reductions to as low as 2% for the first five years to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. The terms of the HAMP Tier 1 modification include a gradual interest rate step-up after five years. Homeowners in HAMP Tier 1 modifications will experience a gradual interest rate increase, also known as a rate step-up, of 1% per year (maximum) until their rate adjusts to the market rate at the time of their modification. HAMP Interest Rate Step-Up Understanding the terms of a HAMP Modification Homeowners with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac owned HAMP loans who will experience a similar rate step-up should contact Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or their servicer.

10 10 Making Home Affordable | August 2014 HAMP Interest Rate Step-Up Timeframes & Payment Changes Offer For some HAMP homeowners, interest rate step-ups will begin in the 3rd quarter of 2014 (October 2014), impacting approximately 30,000 HAMP homeowners by the end of this year, all of whom received modifications in 2009. Timeframe for Rate Step-Ups Approximately 80 percent of homeowners with a HAMP Tier 1 modification will experience at least one future rate step-up. The majority of HAMP homeowners will experience two or three rate step-ups.  The number of rate step-ups and the amount of the payment increase will vary depending on the effective date of the modification, whether the modification included principal forgiveness and other factors. Number of Interest Rate Step-Ups The maximum rate depends on the market rate at time of modification.  For 92% of HAMP homeowners this will result in a rate at or below 5%, well below the average 6.3% interest rate before their modification for most homeowners.  After all interest rate step-ups have occurred, the cumulative monthly payment increase for a typical loan will be approximately $200.

Requiring Financial Counseling Largest servicers in HAMP to offer financial counseling to assist homeowners in staying current on their mortgage payments. Talking to Homeowners Treasury is collecting as much information as possible and monitoring all interest rate step-ups. Training HOPE™ Hotline Call Centers Treasury to provide training to HOPE™ Hotline agents to prepare them to assist homeowners with rate step-ups. Training Housing Counselors Treasury to provide training to housing experts that homeowners can turn to for help with preparing for the rate step-ups. Providing Information via the Internet Treasury to post more information for homeowners on www.mha.gov and social media.

12 12 Making Home Affordable | August 2014 MHA Programs HAMP Tier 2 A homeowner currently in a HAMP Tier 1 permanent modification may be eligible for HAMP Tier 2 if:  The homeowner has been in the modification less than 5 years and loses good standing due to a hardship.  More than five years have passed since the HAMP Tier 1 Modification Effective Date, regardless of whether the homeowner is still in good standing. Homeowners may be eligible for HAMP Tier 2 if they have a hardship caused by mortgage payment increases. HAMP Tier 2 modifications have an interest rate that is fixed for the duration of the loan. Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Provides homeowners with a healthy transition to more affordable housing.  Homeowners sell their home as a “short sale” or transfer the title to the lender through a “deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.”  HAFA offers a more efficient process than a traditional short sale.  Participating investors, servicers, and homeowners may be eligible for incentives.
