§ 10091.8. Establishment and Funding of Loss Reserve Accounts.
Currentness
(a) Upon the Authority's acceptance of an application from an EFI or EFL to be a PFI, PFL, or Successor Servicer, the Authority shall instruct the Trustee to establish a Loss Reserve Account for the PFI, PFL, or Successor Servicer. At the PFI's, PFL's, or Successor Servicer's request, the Authority will establish up to three Loss Reserve Accounts for the PFI, PFL, or Successor Servicer. The Loss Reserve Account(s) will be held by the Trustee and will be used for the following:
(1) Receive and hold Loss Reserve Contributions deposited by the Authority for the benefit of a PFI, PFL, or Successor Servicer.
(2) Pay claims in accordance with Section 10091.10.
(b) Upon the enrollment of an Eligible Loan all of the following shall occur:
(1) The Authority will determine the Loss Reserve Contribution according to the following:
(A) For Enrolled Loans that are Microloans:
(i) To Borrowers meeting the definition of LMI Borrower, the Loss Reserve Contribution shall be twenty percent (20%) of the original Claim-Eligible Principal Amount.
(ii) To Borrowers who do not meet the definition of LMI Borrower or Credit-Challenged Borrower, the Loss Reserve Contribution shall be eleven percent (11%) of the original Claim-Eligible Principal Amount.
(B) For all Enrolled Loans to Credit-Challenged Borrowers, the Loss Reserve Contribution shall be twenty percent (20%) of the original Claim-Eligible Principal Amount.
(C) For all other Enrolled Loans, the Loss Reserve Contribution shall be five percent (5%) of the original Claim-Eligible Principal Amount.
(D) The contribution shall never be more than twenty percent (20%).
(2) The Authority will instruct the Trustee to transfer the Loss Reserve Contribution from the appropriate Program Holding Account.
(3) The Authority will notify the PFI or PFL of the enrollment, the CHEEF Loan ID corresponding to the Eligible Loan and the Loss Reserve Contribution transferred.
(c) Without regard to the term and maturity date of the Eligible Loan, the term of the enrollment in the Program shall not exceed fifteen (15) years, unless the project includes the “Solar Photovoltaic + Battery Storage” EEM, as described in Section 10091.11(j), in which case the term shall not exceed twenty (20) years.
(d) If upon review of the documentation provided by the PFI or PFL pursuant to this section that it appears through inadvertence the loan does not comply with Program requirements concerning Eligible Improvements as set forth in Section 10091.5(f), the Authority in its sole discretion may reduce the Claim-Eligible Principal Amount to bring the Enrolled Loan into compliance with the requirements of Section 10091.5(f).
(e) Annually based on the fiscal year ending June 30, the Authority shall instruct the Trustee to rebalance a PFI's or PFL's Loss Reserve Account(s), if necessary, and move funds from the PFI's or PFL's Loss Reserve Account(s) into the appropriate Program Holding Account(s).
(1) For Enrolled Loans that were enrolled prior to January 1, 2024, the initial rebalance amount will be the sum of the original Loss Reserve Contributions associated with Enrolled Loans that were paid off in full during the fiscal year.
(A) If the PFI or PFL did not make any claims as provided under Section 10091.10 during the fiscal year, the initial rebalance amount will not be changed and the funds will be transferred from the PFI's or PFL's Loss Reserve Account to the appropriate Program Holding Account(s).
(B) If the PFI or PFL made one or more claims as provided under Section 10091.10 during the fiscal year and the total claim amount is less than the initial rebalance amount, the final rebalance amount will equal the initial rebalance amount less the claim amount.
(C) If the PFI or PFL made one or more claims as provided under Section 10091.10 during the fiscal year and the total claim amount is more than the initial rebalance amount, there will be no rebalance.
(2) For Enrolled Loans enrolled subsequent to January 1, 2024, the Authority shall recalculate the Loss Reserve Contribution amount of each loan based on the methodology described in Section 10091.7(b)(1), but using each loan's current outstanding Claim-Eligible Principal Amount instead of the original Claim-Eligible Principal Amount. Prior to rebalancing, the PFI, PFL, or Successor Servicer may submit to the Authority a Borrower's current credit score, retrieved within the previous six months prior to rebalancing, and the Authority shall use the updated credit score when recalculating the Loss Reserve Contribution amount.
(A) If the sum of each loan's current Loss Reserve Contribution amount, less the amount of claims made by the PFI, PFL or Successor Servicer throughout the fiscal year, is lower than the sum of the recalculated Loss Reserve Contribution amount, there will be no rebalance.
(B) If the sum of each loan's current Loss Reserve Contribution amount, less the amount of claims made by the PFI, PFL, or Successor Servicer throughout the fiscal year, is greater than the sum of each loan's recalculated Loss Reserve Contribution amount, the rebalance amount will be the difference between the two sums. The funds will be transferred from the PFI's or PFL's Loss Reserve Account to the appropriate Program Holding Account(s).
