apply for a new loan anytime thereafter.

the borrower’s TAV and/or any amount due him or his beneficiaries in the possession of the Fund. In case of
borrower’s death, the outstanding balance shall be computed up to the date of death. Any payments received
after death shall be refunded to the borrower’s beneficiaries.

approval of the borrower’s request; provided, such request is based on any of the following justifiable reasons
and has been verified by the Fund: Borrower’s unemployment; Illness of the borrower or any of his immediate
family members as certified by a licensed physician that, by reason thereof, resulted in his failure to pay the
required amortizations when due; or death of any of his immediate family members that, by reason thereof,
resulted in his failure to pay the required amortizations when due.

borrower’s TAV. However, if he has paid less than 6 monthly amortizations prior to default, he may apply for
a new loan only after two (2) years from the date of TAV offsetting.
