b. "Advances," as used in this endorsement, shall mean only those advances of principal indebtedness made after the Date of Policy as provided in the Agreement, including expenses of foreclosure, amounts advanced pursuant to the insured mortgage to pay taxes and insurance, assure compliance with laws or to protect the lien of the insured mortgage before the time of acquisition of the estate or interest in the land and reasonable amounts expended to prevent deterioration of improvements, together with interest on those advances.

3. This endorsement does not insure against loss or damage (and the Company will not pay costs, attorneys' fees or expenses) resulting from:

b. The loss of priority of Advances to any federal or state environmental protection lien.
