3 SCHEDULE B-I (continued) SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS (These are unique to this transaction) 5.

BANKRUPTCY FILED BY OWNER [***]: Documentation is required to show whether the owner has the authority to transfer the property to the buyer or if the Bankruptcy Trustee must approve and sign the transfer documents. Note: It appears that Philip B. Harrison filed bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Documentation from the Bankruptcy Court must be provided to determine the status of the property under the Bankruptcy Case. We must receive and review a certified copy of the Bankruptcy Court Docket and one of the following three documents from the Bankruptcy Court to determine how to proceed: (i) Order of Abandonment. If the Bankruptcy Trustee abandoned the property, there will be an Order of Abandonment, which gives the owner the right to transfer the property (subject to any mortgages, liens, taxes, etc.). (ii) Order of Sale. If the Bankruptcy Trustee has not or will not abandon the property, an Order of Sale from the Bankruptcy Court must be obtained. (iii) Closed Case. If the Bankruptcy Case is closed and the owner's debts were discharged pursuant to a final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the owner will have the authority to transfer the property (unless there is an Order to the contrary in the record).

Note: A Discharge or Release of the Mortgage is most often obtained AFTER the transaction is completed by following these steps: (i) Before the closing, a pay-off letter is obtained from the Lender that includes the pay-off balance of the loan, the daily interest amount, and where to send the payment; (ii) At the closing, the instructions in the pay-off letter are followed (for example, the proceeds from the transaction are used to send the pay-off amount to the Lender); and then (iii) After the closing, the Discharge or Release is recorded by the Lender (Michigan Law requires a lender to do so within 60 days of receiving full payment - MCL ). The borrower can request a pay-off letter from the Lender or the borrower can give us authorization to request the pay-off letter (a blank Borrower's Authorization form will accompany our initial title commitment). Contact information for the Lender is usually located on the borrower's loan payment coupons or monthly mortgage statements. 10. TAX FORFEITURE [**]: We must receive and record a Certificate of Redemption from Cass County showing that the unpaid and delinquent real property taxes have been paid for the year(s) 2014, as required by the Tax Forfeiture Certificate recorded by Cass County in Liber 1074, on page Note: When real estate taxes are not paid for more than two years, the property is "forfeited" to the County, which means the property is being prepared for tax foreclosure. If the real estate taxes go unpaid, the property will be foreclosed upon and the ownership will transfer to the County (approximately one year after the tax forfeiture). If the real estate taxes are paid before the foreclosure process is completed, the County will provide a Certificate of Redemption.
