SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTIONS FROM COVERAGE CONTAINED IN SCHEDULE B BELOW, AND ANY ADDENDUM ATTACHED HERETO, [BLANK TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY], A [BLANK] CORPORATION, (THE “COMPANY”), HEREBY INSURES THE INSURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND SUBJECT TO THE TERMS, EXCLUSIONS, AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE AMERICAN LAND TITLE ASSOCIATION (ALTA) LOAN POLICY (07-01-2021), as modified by TIRBOP, ALL OF WHICH ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN. ALL REFERENCES TO SCHEDULES A AND B REFER TO SCHEDULES A AND B OF THIS POLICY.

SCHEDULE B

EXCEPTIONS FROM COVERAGE

Some historical land records contain Discriminatory Covenants that are illegal and unenforceable by law. This policy treats any Discriminatory Covenant in a document referenced in Schedule B as if each Discriminatory Covenant is redacted, repudiated, removed, and not republished or recirculated. Only the remaining provisions of the document are excepted from coverage.

Except to the extent set forth below, this policy does not insure against loss or damage and the Company will not pay costs, attorneys’ fees, or expenses arising by reason of:

1.         Those taxes and assessments that become due or payable subsequent to the Date of Policy. Exception 1 does not modify or limit the coverage provided in Covered Risk 11.b.

2.         Covenants, conditions, restrictions, or limitations, if any, appearing in the Public Records; however, this policy insures against loss or damage arising from:

a.         the violation of those covenants, conditions, restrictions, or limitations on or prior to the Date of Policy;

b.         a forfeiture or reversion of Title from a violation at the Date of Policy of those covenants, conditions, restrictions, or limitations, including those relating to environmental protection; and

c.         the invalidation, subordination, or other impairment of the lien of the Insured Mortgage because of a violation at the Date of Policy of any provisions in those covenants, conditions, restrictions, or limitations, including those relating to environmental protection.

As used in Exception 2.a., the words “covenants, conditions, restrictions, or limitations” do not refer to or include any covenant, condition, restriction, or limitation (i) relating to obligations of any type to perform maintenance, repair, or remediation on the Land; or (ii) pertaining to environmental protection of any kind or nature, including hazardous or toxic matters, conditions, or substances, except to the extent that an Enforcement Notice as of the Date of Policy identifies a violation or alleged violation affecting the Land and is not referenced in an Addendum attached to this policy.

3.         Any easements or servitudes appearing in the Public Records; however, this policy insures against loss or damage arising from:

a.         the encroachment, at the Date of Policy, of the improvements on any easement; and

b.         any interference with or damage to existing improvements, including lawns, shrubbery, and trees, resulting from the use of the easements for the purposes granted or reserved.

4.         Any lease, grant, exception, or reservation of minerals or mineral rights or other subsurface substances appearing in the Public Records; however, this policy insures against loss or damage arising from:

a.         any effect on or impairment of the use of the Land for one-to-four family residential purposes by reason of such lease, grant, exception, or reservation of minerals or mineral rights or other subsurface substances; and

b.         any damage to existing improvements, including lawns, shrubbery, and trees, resulting from the future exercise of any right to use the surface of the Land for the extraction or development of the minerals or mineral rights or other subsurface substances so leased, granted, excepted, or reserved.

Nothing herein insures against loss or damage resulting from contamination, explosion, fire, flooding, vibration, fracturing, earthquake, or subsidence.
