    The insurance company will pay the mortage of $400,000

    Explanation:

    Loan value = 96% * $500000

    = $480000

    75% LTV value = $375000

    Portion of loan over 75% LTV = $105000.

    This is the amount insured.

    5 years later, Sam needs $400000 more to pay. But he defaults.

    And he has only paid $100000 of mortgage loan.

    So, insurance company will pay the remaining balance of the amount insured to Sam's lender.

    Therefore, The insurance company will pay the mortage of $400,000.
