 respect to the status of a related first lien loan due to the borrower’s failure to make a required monthly principal or interest payment on their second lien loan. Further, the Company’s Subservicer, Celink, is a reverse mortgage servicer. Given that the second lien product is new in the reverse mortgage market, Celink does not have substantial experience with subservicing second lien mortgage loans. While the Company has deployed resources into servicing practices for reverse mortgage loans in a second lien position, including implementing monitoring services to enhance its oversight capabilities to protect our lien position, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in obtaining accurate, complete, and timely information regarding the first lien mortgage loan.

If an event of default occurs with respect to the first lien mortgage loan, the first lien mortgage loan lender may foreclose on the mortgaged property without our consent. If the first lien mortgage loan lender initiates foreclosure processes, the first lien mortgage loan lender and servicer will control the timing, method, and procedure of the foreclosure action. In such circumstances, we will rely on the first lien mortgage loan lender and servicer to manage the foreclosure and sale process in a skillful and efficient manner. However, the proceeds of the ultimate foreclosure sale will be allocated first to the first lien mortgage loan lender until the first lien mortgage loan is paid in full, and only then to the holder of the second lien mortgage loan. The primary incentive of the holder of the first lien mortgage loan will therefore be to recover the amounts due with respect to the first lien mortgage loan, not the second lien mortgage loan. The Company will need to timely assess the related mortgaged property to determine if it is in the Company’s best interest to submit a bid to purchase the mortgaged property at the foreclosure sale to enable the Company and its Subservicer to preserve the equity in the mortgaged property. Purchasing the mortgaged property at foreclosure sale enables the Company and its Subservicer to manage the ultimate liquidation of the mortgaged property with the goal of recovering amounts sufficient to recoup the amount paid to purchase the mortgaged property at foreclosure sale as well as the amounts due with respect to the second lien mortgage loan. Alternatively, we may initiate foreclosure processes if an event of default occurs with respect to our second lien reverse mortgage loan that either (i) constitutes an event of default under the first lien mortgage loan for which the first lien mortgage loan lender and its servicer have not taken action or (ii) does not constitute an event of
