1. The insurance for Advances added by Section 2 of this endorsement is subject to the exclusions in Section 3 of this endorsement and the Exclusions from Coverage in the policy, except Exclusion 3(d), the provisions of the Conditions, and the exceptions contained in Schedule B.
a. “Advances,” as used in this endorsement, shall mean only those advances of principal indebtedness made after Date of Policy (including such advances used to pay accrued interest) secured by the Insured Mortgage including advances to pay expenses of foreclosure, taxes and insurance, assure compliance with laws, or to protect the lien of the Insured Mortgage before the time of acquisition of the Title, and reasonable amounts expended to prevent deterioration of improvements, together with interest on those advances.
2. The Company insures against loss or damage sustained by the Insured by reason of:
a. The invalidity or unenforceability of the lien of the Insured Mortgage as security for each Advance.
b. The priority of any lien or encumbrance over the lien of the Insured Mortgage as security for each Advance.
c. The invalidity or unenforceability or loss of priority of the lien of the Insured Mortgage as security for the Indebtedness and Advances resulting from (i) re-Advances and repayments of Indebtedness, (ii) lack of outstanding Indebtedness before an Advance, or (iii) the failure of the Insured Mortgage to comply with the requirements of state law of the state in which the Land is located to secure Advances.
3. This endorsement does not insure against loss or damage (and the Company will not pay costs, attorneys’ fees, or expenses) resulting from:
a. Advances made after a Petition for Relief under the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C) has been filed by or on behalf of the mortgagor.
b. The loss of priority of the lien of the Insured Mortgage, as security for Advances, to the lien of real estate taxes or assessments on the Title imposed by governmental authority arising after Date of Policy.
c. The loss of priority of the lien of the Insured Mortgage as security for any Advance, to a federal tax lien, which Advance is made after the earlier of (i) Knowledge of the Insured that a federal tax lien was filed against the mortgagor, or (ii) the expiration of more than forty-five days after notice of a federal tax lien filed against the mortgagor.
d. The loss of priority of the lien of the Insured Mortgage as security for Advances to any federal or state environmental protection lien.
e. Usury, or any consumer credit protection or truth-in-lending law.
4. Regardless of the face amount of the stated maximum amount of indebtedness secured by the Insured Mortgage, the Amount of Insurance is based upon the maximum anticipated principal indebtedness to be secured by the Insured Mortgage as represented by the Insured (including Advances); and the Amount of Insurance may not be increased except by endorsement after compliance with such additional requirements as the Company may impose, including payment of an additional premium.
