Achievement and Other Collateral Agreements: Extensions

A borrower may request an extension of an achievement agreement or of another collateral agreement if it is unlikely to meet the conditions of the agreement before the earn-out or expiration date and additional time would allow the property to meet those conditions. Usually, achievement/collateral agreements are secured by letters of credit (LOCs), but you may encounter agreements that are backed by cash or a guaranty.

As the servicer, you must monitor earn out and expiration dates for achievement/collateral agreements.

The table below lists the key points to consider in reviewing a request to extend an achievement/collateral agreement.

Part V: Servicing and Asset Management, Chapter 3, Section 307

Delegation Criteria

If the borrower does not meet the requirements specified in the achievement/collateral agreement, you may decline the request for an extension. Follow the instructions below under Resolution/Follow-up.

Fannie Mae must approve any request to extend an achievement/collateral agreement.

Caution: It is critical that you begin the review process as early as possible to avoid any situations where the timing forces an undesirable outcome for the borrower. Allow adequate time for the following:

  • If an LOC is held as collateral, you need to review the issuing bank’s rating against the latest Fannie Mae ratings guidelines. Ratings changes [may be an issue.]
  • You may need to engage the borrower's own counsel throughout the process. Be sure to establish that contact early on.
  • You must submit your request to Fannie Mae at a minimum, 30 days before the agreement or LOC expires to allow time for our legal review.

What to Submit

Submit the following to Fannie Mae with your request:

  • Copy of the borrower’s request
  • Copy of the achievement/collateral agreement and all amendments
  • Copy of the most recent LOC, if applicable
  • Certified rent rolls covering the period specified in the agreement
  • Audited operating statement(s) covering the period(s) specified in the achievement/collateral agreement
  • A copy of the guaranty or similar agreement, if a guaranty is being held as additional collateral in connection with the achievement/collateral agreement
  • Any other documentation required by the agreement, if applicable
  • Servicer’s narrative
    • Property name and address
    • Fannie Mae loan number
    • Reason for the request
    • Analysis of the operating statement(s) – if the condition covers three or six consecutive months, provide an analysis for each month
    • The original underwriting analysis
    • The release of collateral analysis, as stated in the achievement/collateral agreement
    • Analysis of the rent roll – if the condition covers three or six consecutive months, provide an analysis for each month
