Comment: This language is sometimes requested by lenders in Schedule A of a Loan Policy. If requested, you may use this language (except in Texas) only on a Loan Policy. However, the Company prefers to use INS81 or INS82. If no such language appears in Schedule A, the Policy still inures to assignees who are not obligors.
