Effective for policies written on or after April 1, 2006, the Second Amended and Restate Mutual Indemnification Agreement has made the following change:
The amount of the mortgage under a covered risk is now $750,000.00.
There has been a clarification of issues that are NOT covered risks:
1. An option to purchase or a right of first refusal in a lease even if the policy insures that a tenant does not have an option or right of first refusal, or excepts the rights of tenants as tenants only.
2. Matters that arise during the gap period between policy date and date of recording.
As a reminder, the following companies are participants in the Mutual Indemnification Agreement:
Chicago; Commonwealth; Fidelity; First American; Lawyers; Old Republic; Ticor; Ticor of Florida; UGT; Washington.
