11. Payment of insurance. The subsidiary corporation shall establish procedures to be followed by a mortgagee in the event of a default under the terms of any mortgage insured by the subsidiary corporation, provided, however, any modification to such procedures (other than to cure any ambiguity, defect or omission) shall apply only to mortgages for which commitments have been issued after the effective date of such modification. The subsidiary corporation may establish prerequisites for payment of an insurance claim, including, but not limited to, requiring the mortgagee to take such actions with respect to the property securing the defaulted mortgage as may be specified by the subsidiary corporation to be satisfactory evidence of a continuing default, including but not limited to the following actions: (i) becoming lawfully the mortgagee in possession thereof; (ii) causing a receiver to be appointed of such property; (iii) obtaining voluntary conveyance of the mortgagor's right and title to such property; or (iv) obtaining by foreclosure clear and unencumbered title to such property, all in such manner as the subsidiary corporation may require. Following submission of a valid claim, the subsidiary corporation shall pay an amount which shall not exceed the lesser of: (A) the then outstanding principal amount of the mortgage multiplied by the per centum of such outstanding amount insured by the subsidiary corporation plus that per centum of the mortgagee's cost arising from the default, inclusive of public liens and delinquent and unpaid interest, all as the subsidiary corporation may from time to time allow, which per centum shall not exceed the per centum of the outstanding principal indebtedness insured by the subsidiary corporation or (B) the insured amount of the mortgage loan at the date of execution of the contract of insurance or its latest amendment, if any, except that the subsidiary corporation shall pay the greater of the two amounts on claims by a public employee pension fund or by a public benefit corporation from mortgage loans financed by the sale of notes or bonds issued by said corporation and such amount payable may, if so provided in the contract of insurance, include accrued interest to the date of redemption for such bonds or notes and any cost associated with such redemption, provided that no more than the actual loss suffered by such public benefit corporation or public employee pension fund shall be paid. Such payment may be made by the subsidiary corporation in a lump sum, or in partial payments made within such period of time, not in excess of two years, as may be agreed to between the subsidiary corporation and the mortgagee, all in accordance with procedures to be established by the subsidiary corporation. The subsidiary corporation shall have the power to bid for and purchase the property securing the defaulted mortgage at any foreclosure or other sale of such property, or to otherwise acquire

or

take possession of such property in accordance with other provisions of law. In the event of any such purchase, acquisition, or taking of possession, the subsidiary corporation shall have the power to complete, administer, sell, dispose of, and otherwise deal with such property, such manner as may be necessary or desirable to protect the interests of the subsidiary corporation.
