A mortgage loan company shall, in addition to other disclosures required pursuant to other statutes or common law:
A. make all disclosures required by applicable federal and state laws;
B. provide a revised “good faith estimate” and a copy of the borrower's lock-in agreement to the borrower within three days of locking in the loan rate, pricing and terms;
C. make a full and fair disclosure of all facts within the knowledge of the mortgage loan company that are or may be material to the borrower's decision, rights or interests;
D. disclose at least two days prior to closing of the loan, in a manner that can be understood by a reasonable borrower, the total amount of any compensation the mortgage loan company expects to receive specific to the loan being offered, including origination fees, broker fees, yield spread premiums and other fees payable to the mortgage loan company by the lender or other third party at the time the loan is funded to the borrower;
E. clearly and conspicuously disclose in writing a mortgage loan summary, as specified by the director by rule; and
F. enter into a signed contract with the borrower, as specified by the director by rule, that provides for mortgage loan rate float or rate lock-in. The borrower may choose to:
(1) rate float, which means that a loan rate has not been locked in and the borrower is responsible for instructing the mortgage loan company when to lock in the loan rate; or
(2) lock in a rate, which means the mortgage loan originator shall lock in a loan rate. The rate lock-in shall include the loan interest rate, pricing, terms, lock-in period and any fees required for an extension of the lock-in period.
