• modify master policy provisions for settling of claims,
• limit the right of a mortgage insurer to conduct file reviews or investigate claims,
• limit the right of a mortgage insurer to rescind coverage,
• rescind or modify coverage, or
• restrict notice to Fannie Mae of changes in coverage status.

Further, Fannie Mae prohibits loss sharing, indemnification, settlement or similar agreements of any kind between servicers and mortgage insurance companies that affect Fannie Mae’s interest in its mortgage loans.
