Mr. DURBIN (for himself, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Reid, Mr. Schumer, Mr. Whitehouse, and Mr. Harkin) proposed an amendment to the bill S. 896, to prevent mortgage foreclosures and enhance mortgage credit availability; as follows: At the end of the bill, add the following: TITLE V--PREVENTION OF MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES Subtitle A--Modification of Residential Mortgages SEC. 501. DEFINITIONS. Section 101 of title 11, United States Code, is amended by inserting after paragraph (43) the following: ``(43A)(A) The term `qualified loan modification offer' means a loan modification agreement that is consistent with the terms described in subparagraph (B) and that is offered-- ``(i) in accordance with the guidelines of the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, to a debtor who qualifies for such plan; ``(ii) in accordance with the qualified loan guidelines described in subparagraph (C)(i) for loans insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Veterans Affairs, or the Department of Agriculture, to a debtor for whom a loan is insured or guaranteed under programs of such Government entities; or ``(iii) in accordance with qualified loan guidelines described in subparagraph (C)(ii) to a debtor who does not qualify for the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, for a loan for which the servicer is not a participant in such plan, and for whom a loan is not insured or guaranteed under programs of the Government entities described in subparagraph (A)(ii). ``(B) For purposes of this paragraph, a `qualified loan modification offer'-- ``(i) requires no fees or charges to be paid by the debtor in order to obtain such modification; ``(ii) permits the debtor to continue to make payments under the modification agreement, notwithstanding the filing of a case under this title, as if such case had not been filed; ``(iii) is offered in good faith to the debtor in writing, not later than 45 days after the date on which the debtor provided to the servicer of such loan, in good faith, all required information, as defined in subparagraph (G), in order to be considered for a qualified loan modification offer or a qualified loan refinancing offer; ``(iv) is presented to the debtor as a firm written offer in a form that can be accepted by the debtor by signing the offer and returning it to the servicer of such loan; ``(v) is offered with respect to a loan for which no foreclosure sale is scheduled, or shall be scheduled, during the time the request for modification is being considered or is scheduled during the 30-day period beginning on the expiration of the time period specified in clause (iii); and ``(vi) is not revoked by the servicer of such loan for reasons within the control of the debtor before the confirmation of the plan filed under section 1321 or the modification of a plan under section 1323 or 1329. ``(C) For purposes of this paragraph, the term `qualified loan guidelines' describes a loan modification agreement that-- ``(i) in the case of a loan that is insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, or the Department of Agriculture and that is secured by the senior security interest in the principal residence of the debtor, modifies the debtor's monthly housing payment for at least a period of 5 years-- ``(I) to 31 percent or less of the debtor's monthly gross income at the time of the modification, without any period of negative amortization; or ``(II) before expiration of the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of this paragraph, to the lowest percentage of the debtor's monthly gross income allowed under the applicable program guidelines in effect before the effective date of this paragraph, without any period of negative amortization, if such lowest percentage is greater than 31 percent of the debtor's monthly gross income at the time of the modification, without any period of negative amortization; ``(ii) in the case of a loan for a debtor who does not qualify for the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, or of a loan for which the servicer is not a participant in such plan and for whom a loan is not insured or guaranteed under programs of the Government entities described in subparagraph (A)(ii)-- ``(I) modifies the debtor's monthly housing payment for at least a period of 5 years to 31 percent or less of the debtor's monthly gross income at the time of the modification, without any period of negative amortization; and ``(II) provides that, after the initial period of 5 years, the interest rate on the modified loan may increase by not more than 1 percentage point per year until the interest rate reaches (but does not exceed) the prevailing market interest rate on the date on which the modification is finalized, as published by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, at which time such maximum interest rate shall be fixed for the remaining loan term. ``(D) For purposes of this paragraph-- ``(i) the term `debtor's monthly gross income' means the total income amount before any payroll deductions, and includes wages and salaries, overtime pay, commissions, fees, tips, bonuses, housing allowances, other compensation for personal services, Social Security payments, including Social Security received by adults on behalf of minors or by minors intended for their own support, and monthly income from annuities, insurance policies, retirement funds, pensions, disability or death benefits, unemployment benefits, rental income, and other income. For income from the operation of a business, profession, or farm, monthly gross income shall be the sum of the debtor's gross receipts exclusive of ordinary and necessary business expenses; and ``(ii) the term `debtor's monthly housing payment' includes fixed principal and interest, and payments for real estate taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance premium, homeowners' association dues, ground rent, special assessments, and all other amounts collected by the servicer as part of that payment. ``(E) The term `Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan' means the loan modification plan announced and implemented by the Secretary of the Treasury on March 4, 2009, and any successor thereto. ``(F) For purposes of this paragraph, the term `servicer' means the person responsible for any of master servicing, servicing, or subservicing of a debt secured by the debtor's principal residence (including the person who makes or holds a loan if such person also master services, services, or subservices the loan). ``(G) For purposes of this paragraph, the term `required information' means all information required to be provided to the servicer under the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, or according to a similar standardized list, as issued by the Secretary of the Treasury or the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to allow the servicer to determine the debtor's eligibility for a qualified loan modification offer or a qualified loan refinancing offer made by the holder of the loan. If the servicer fails to notify the debtor within 30 days of the date of submission of information by the debtor that the information is incomplete and specify what further information must be submitted, it shall be conclusively presumed that the information submitted by the debtor satisfies such requirement. For purposes of this subparagraph, required information provided to the servicer by the debtor shall be deemed accurate and complete as of the time it was delivered to the servicer. Material differences not based on a change in the debtor's circumstances between the required information provided under the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan or a similar standardized list, as issued by the Secretary of the Treasury or the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and information provided by the debtor in the schedules required under section 521(a), shall give rise to a rebuttable presumption that the debtor is not eligible for a modification under section 1322(b)(11), if such material differences in the required information render the debtor ineligible for a qualified loan modification offer or a qualified loan refinancing offer. The debtor may rebut the presumption by showing that the debtor offered the required information in good faith. ``(43B) The term `qualified loan refinancing offer' means a loan offered in accordance with the HOPE for Homeowners program, as authorized by section 257 of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1715z-23) that-- ``(A) refinances a loan secured by the senior security interest in the principal residence of the debtor, and which is eligible to be refinanced under the HOPE for Homeowners program; ``(B) permits the debtor to continue to make payments under the loan, notwithstanding the filing of a case under this title, as if such case had not been filed; and ``(C) with respect to which the debtor has received a written notice that the debtor's application for such loan was approved by a person or entity authorized by the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development to serve as a mortgagee, and such loan approval was not revoked by such person or entity before the date of the confirmation of the plan filed under section 1321 or the modification of a plan under section 1323 or 1329.''. SEC. 502. ELIGIBILITY FOR RELIEF. Section 109 of title 11, United States Code, is amended-- (1) in subsection (e)-- (A) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``(e)''; and (B) by adding at the end the following: ``(2) For purposes of this subsection, the computation of debts shall not include the secured or unsecured portions of-- ``(A) debts secured by the debtor's principal residence, if the value of such residence as of the date of the order for relief under chapter 13 is less than the applicable maximum amount of noncontingent, liquidated, secured debts specified in this subsection; or ``(B) debts secured or formerly secured by what was the debtor's principal residence that was sold in foreclosure or that the debtor surrendered to the creditor, if the value of such real property as of the date of the order for relief under chapter 13 was less than the applicable maximum amount of noncontingent, liquidated, secured debts specified in this subsection.''; (2) in subsection (h)(1), by striking ``and (3)'' and inserting ``, (3), and (5)''; and (3) in subsection (h), by adding at the end the following: ``(5) With respect to a debtor in a case under chapter 13 who is at least 60 days delinquent with respect to the claim secured by the debtor's principal residence and submits to the court a certification that the debtor has received written notice that the holder of a claim secured by the debtor's principal residence may commence a foreclosure on the debtor's principal residence, the requirements of paragraph (1) shall be considered to be satisfied if the debtor satisfies such requirements not later than the expiration of the 45-day period beginning on the date of the filing of the petition.''. SEC. 503. AUTHORITY TO MODIFY CERTAIN MORTGAGES. Section 1322 of title 11, United States Code, is amended-- (1) in subsection (b)-- (A) by redesignating paragraph (11) as paragraph (12); (B) in paragraph (10), by striking ``and'' at the end; and (C) by inserting after paragraph (10) the following: ``(11) notwithstanding paragraph (2), modify the rights of the holder of a claim for a loan originated before January 1, 2009, with an unpaid principal balance that is not greater than the maximum loan amount provided for in the guidelines of the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, that is at least 60 days delinquent and secured by a security interest in the debtor's principal residence and, in the case of a claim secured by the senior security interest in such residence that is the subject of a written notice that a foreclosure may be commenced with respect to such loan-- ``(A) by providing for payment of the amount of the allowed secured claim, as determined under section 506(a)(1); ``(B) by modifying the terms and conditions of such loan-- ``(i) to extend the repayment period for a period that is not longer than the longer of 40 years (reduced by the period for which such loan has been outstanding) or the remaining term of such loan, beginning on the date of the order for relief under this chapter; and ``(ii) to provide for the payment of interest accruing after the date of the order for relief under this chapter at a fixed annual rate equal to the currently applicable average prime offer rate, as of the date of the order for relief under this chapter, corresponding to the repayment term determined under the preceding paragraph, as published by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council in its table entitled `Average Prime Offer Rates--Fixed' (or any successor thereto), rounded to the nearest 0.125 percent, plus a reasonable premium for risk; and ``(C) by providing for payments of such modified loan directly to the holder of the claim or, at the discretion of the court, through the trustee during the term of the plan; and''; and (2) by adding at the end the following: ``(g) A claim may be reduced under subsection (b)(11)(A) only on the condition that if the debtor sells the principal residence securing such claim during the pendency of the case under this chapter and receives net proceeds from the sale of such residence-- ``(1) the debtor agrees to pay to such holder 50 percent of the amount of the difference between the sale price and the amount of such claim, as originally determined under subsection (b)(11) (plus costs of sale and improvements), but not to exceed the unpaid amount of the allowed secured claim determined as if such claim had not been reduced under such subsection; ``(2) the debtor notifies the holder of such claim (or entity collecting payments on behalf of such holder), not later than 30 days before the closing date of such sale, of the details of sale, including the buyer's name and address, the buyer's relationship to the debtor, if any, purchase price, anticipated sale closing date, name and address of the closing agent, and any other relevant information; and ``(3) any amount to be received by the holder is listed in the closing documents. ``(h) With respect to a claim of the kind described in subsection (b)(11) that is secured by the senior security interest in the debtor's principal residence, the plan may not contain a modification under the authority of subsection (b)(11)-- ``(1) in a case commenced under this chapter after the expiration of the 45-day period beginning on the effective date of this subsection, unless the debtor certifies that the debtor sought a qualified loan modification offer or a qualified loan refinancing offer, as those terms are defined in paragraphs (43A) and (43B) of section 101, respectively, and submitted the required information, as that term is defined in section 101(43A)(G);

(2) EXCEPTION.--With respect to loans serviced by entities that are unaffiliated with entities for which participation in the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan is mandatory, and that have announced and implemented a policy of ceasing all foreclosure activities for 45 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the time period in clause (iii) of section 101(43A)(B) of title 11, United States Code (as added by this title), shall expire on the later of 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act or the date on which it would otherwise expire under that clause.

SEC. 510. UNENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN PROVISION AS BEING CONTRARY TO PUBLIC POLICY. (a) Congressional Findings.--Congress finds that-- (1) in conjunction with the amendments made by this subtitle, the enforcement of provisions of certain investment contracts in effect on the date of enactment of this Act, which require excess bankruptcy losses that exceed a certain dollar amount on residential mortgages to be borne by classes of certificates on a pro rata basis, would affect the parties to those contracts in ways that could not have occurred under the law in effect at the time at which such contracts were entered into, would interfere with the achievement of the purposes of this subtitle, and would have adverse effects on the national economy, potentially including adverse effects on the security of depositors of banking institutions and policyholders of insurance companies operating in interstate commerce; and (2) to achieve the purposes of this subtitle to avoid preventable foreclosures, avoid unintended and adverse systemic effects on the national economy, and preserve the existing economic expectations of the parties to investment contracts to the extent reasonably possible, it is necessary that such provisions be unenforceable to the extent that such provisions refer to types of bankruptcy losses that could not have been incurred under the law in effect at the time at which such contracts were entered into. (b) Unenforceability of Provisions.-- (1) IN GENERAL.--Any bankruptcy loss allocation provision in any mortgage-backed securities contract in effect on the date of enactment of this Act shall be unenforceable as contrary to public policy, to the extent that such bankruptcy loss allocation provision allocates to senior classes of mortgage-backed securities of the issuer bankruptcy losses that could not have been incurred under the law in effect on the date on which such mortgage-backed securities contract was entered into, without the consent of the holder of the related residential mortgage or mortgages. (2) EFFECT OF UNENFORCEABILITY.--Any bankruptcy losses that would have been allocated under a bankruptcy loss allocation provision that is unenforceable under paragraph (1) shall be allocated as if the bankruptcy losses constituted losses (other than bankruptcy losses) under the applicable mortgage-backed securities contract. (c) Covered Bankruptcy Losses.--For purposes of subsection (b), the term ``bankruptcy losses that could not have been incurred under the law in effect on the date on which such mortgage-backed securities contract was entered into, without the consent of the holder of the related residential mortgage or mortgages'' includes all bankruptcy losses incurred as a result of the application of section 1322(b)(11) of title 11, United States Code, as amended by this title. (d) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply: (1) BANKRUPTCY LOSS ALLOCATION PROVISION.--The term ``bankruptcy loss allocation provision'' means any provision in a mortgage-backed securities contract that allocates any portion of bankruptcy losses to senior classes of mortgage-backed securities of the issuer before the outstanding principal amount of subordinated classes of the mortgage-backed securities of the issuer has been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of losses or otherwise. (2) BANKRUPTCY LOSSES.--The term ``bankruptcy losses'' means any losses relating to residential mortgages held by a securitization vehicle that arise in a proceeding under title 11 of the United States Code. (3) MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.--The term ``mortgage-backed securities'' means mortgage pass-through certificates, participation certificates, mortgage-backed securities, or other similar securities backed by a pool of assets that includes residential mortgage loans. (4) MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES CONTRACT.--The term ``mortgage-backed securities contract'' means a contract or other instrument that governs the terms of mortgage-backed securities. (5) SECURITIZATION VEHICLE.--The term ``securitization vehicle'' means a trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability entity, special purpose entity, or other structure that-- (A) is the issuer, or is created by the issuer, of mortgage pass-through certificates, participation certificates, mortgage-backed securities, or other similar securities backed by a pool of assets that includes residential mortgage loans; and (B) holds such mortgages.

Nothing in this clause may be construed to prevent the Secretary from providing insurance under this title for a mortgage that has previously been assigned to the Secretary under this subclause. ``(II) ASSIGNMENT OF UNSECURED CLAIM.--The Secretary may make a partial payment of the insurance benefits for any unsecured claim under the mortgage, but only upon the assignment to the Secretary of any unsecured claim of the mortgagee against the mortgagor or others arising out of such order. Such assignment shall be deemed valid irrespective of whether such claim has been or will be discharged under title 11 of the United States Code. The insurance benefits shall be paid in the amount specified in subclause (I) of this clause, as such amount is reduced by the amount of the allowed secured claim. Such allowed secured claim shall continue to be insured under section 203. ``(III) INTEREST PAYMENTS.--The Secretary may make periodic payments, or a one-time payment, of insurance benefits for interest payments that are reduced pursuant to such order, as determined by the Secretary, but only upon assignment to the Secretary of all rights and interest related to such payments. ``(ii) DELIVERY OF EVIDENCE OF ENTRY OF ORDER.--Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, no insurance benefits may be paid pursuant to this subparagraph for a mortgage before delivery to the Secretary of evidence of the entry of the order issued pursuant to title 11, United States Code, in a form satisfactory to the Secretary.''; and (2) in paragraph (5), in the matter preceding subparagraph (A), by inserting after ``section 520, and'' the following: ``, except as provided in paragraph (1)(E),''.
