Bulletin: NY000022

Dear Associates:

Occasionally, we have been asked to describe Security Instruments in additional. to the Mortgage in Schedule "A" of the loan policy. These instruments may include, but are not limited to, collateral assignments of leases, assignments of vendor's interest on the contracts for deed, financing statements and security agreements. However, please note that these instruments do not necessarily represent insurable interests in real property and, therefore, the title insurance policy does not insure them. Accordingly, do not describe these additional instruments in Schedule "A" when describing the Mortgage.

However, in the event that such instruments are part of the subject transaction, please perform the following:

1. Describe the additional security instruments in Schedule "B" of the policy; or,

2. In the event the insured lender insists that such instruments appear in Schedule "A", please insert the following language:
" Note: The indebtedness secured by the lien of the insured mortgage is additionally secured by the following instrument, which is not insured hereby: _______ (i.e. collateral assignment of lease)."

In the event that the above are not acceptable alternatives to your particular situation, please do not hesitate to contact your appropriate underwriting personnel in order to discuss this matter further. As in the past, your prompt attention and cooperation will be most appreciated.
