The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Home Equity Loan, fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the amount necessary to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy.

Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall be made on the last Business Day of the Collection Period in the month in which payments under any such policy would have been deposited in the Custodial Account. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Home Equity Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy.
