Liability hereunder at the date hereof limited to $____________. Liability shall increase as contemplated improvements are made so that liability hereunder shall be limited to that sum plus the amount actually expended by the Insured in improvements in good faith and without Knowledge of any defects, liens or encumbrances on the Title at the time the expenditure occurs. In no event shall the liability of the Company hereunder exceed the face amount of this Policy. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit any exception or any printed provision of this Policy.

Pending disbursement of the full proceeds of the loan secured by the Mortgage or Deed of Trust described in Schedule A, this Policy insures only to the extent of the amount actually disbursed for improvements by the Insured in good faith and without Knowledge of any defects, liens, or encumbrances on the Title. This Policy insures against loss or damage which results from claims of mechanic's or materialmen's liens arising from non-payment of bills for labor performed or material furnished prior to ____________________, except any such liens or notices thereof as may be recited under Schedule B hereof and except as otherwise provided herein. At the time of each such disbursement of proceeds of the loan, an endorsement to this Policy must be secured increasing the amount insured hereunder up to the face amount of the Policy, subject to the following requirements being met before issuance of such endorsement: (a) a title search is made by the Company that reveals no liens, objections or any adverse changes in the title, (b) the contractor and owner furnish the Company satisfactory paid bills, lien waivers, estoppel certificates and other evidence that all items, from which a lien might arise, have been paid or otherwise satisfied, and (c) the Owner and Contractor furnish the Company satisfactory Affidavit and Indemnity Agreement(s) as to the matters referred to in (b) above. This Policy does not insure against mechanic's and materialmen's liens for labor performed and materials furnished subsequent to the last date to which mechanic's liens coverage has been extended or against mechanic's or materialmen's liens for any improvement or work that is not financed in whole or in part by proceeds of the indebtedness secured by the Insured mortgage, nor does this Policy insure completion of the improvements in progress, or their compliance with plans and specifications. The Company in no way guarantees the sufficiency of the mortgage proceeds as adequate to complete improvements, or against loss because of the failure of the Insured to disburse the entire amount of proceeds of the loan secured by the lien of the Insured Mortgage. Notwithstanding any other language contained in the insuring provisions of this Policy, the above provisions are the sole provision applicable to coverage for loss or damage resulting from mechanic's or materialmen's liens or claims not of record.

Comment: This pending disbursement clause requires underwriter approval. This clause is designed for issuance if the construction mortgage does not have priority over mechanic's liens (e.g., recordation after commencement in some states; unfavorable law in states such as Colorado, Missouri, and other states). This clause provides limited coverage for mechanic's liens arising from non-payment of bills for labor performed or material furnished prior to a specific date, which date may be the date of the current disbursement. The Company generally requires waivers from and confirms payment to those persons. This clause does not insure against claims for subsequent work or material.

Loan Policy - Construction; Limited Coverage Only for Prior Work - Downdate Required

Pending disbursement of the full proceeds of the loan secured by the mortgage described in Schedule A, this policy insures only to the extent of the amount actually disbursed for improvements by the Insured in good faith and without Knowledge of any defects, liens, or encumbrances on the Title. This policy insures against loss or damage which results from claims of mechanic's or materialmen's liens arising from nonpayment of bills for labor performed or material furnished prior to ________________, 20____, but said coverage is limited to mechanic's and materialmen's liens for services or labor performed or materials or equipment furnished by those persons or entities receiving payments for such services, labor, materials or equipment directly from the Insured pursuant to written disbursement authorization approved by the Insured herein; except any such liens or notices thereof as may be recited under Schedule B hereof and except as otherwise provided herein. At the time of each such disbursement of proceeds of the loan, an endorsement to this policy must be secured increasing the amount insured hereunder up to the face amount of the Policy, subject to the following requirements being met before issuance of such endorsement:
(a) a title search is made by the Company that reveals no liens, objections or any adverse changes in the title,
(b) the contractor and owner furnish the Company satisfactory paid bills, liens waivers, estoppel certificates and other evidence that all items from which a lien might arise, have been paid or otherwise satisfied, and
(c) the Owner and Contractor furnish the Company satisfactory updated Affidavit and Indemnity Agreement(s) as to the matters referred to in (b) above.
This Policy does not insure against mechanic's and materialmen's liens for labor performed and materials furnished subsequent to the last date to which mechanic's lien coverage has been extended or against mechanic's or materialmen's liens for any improvement or work that is not financed in whole or in part by proceeds of the indebtedness secured by the Insured mortgage, or against mechanic's or materialmen's liens for services or labor performed or materials or equipment furnished by any persons or entities to the extent such persons or entities do not receive payments for such labor or material directly from the Insured pursuant to written disbursement authorization approved by the Insured herein, nor does this Policy insure completion of any improvements contemplated by the Owner, Contractor or Insured, or their compliance with plans and specifications. The Company in no way guarantees the sufficiency of the mortgage proceeds as adequate to complete improvements, or against loss because of the failure of the Insured to disburse the entire amount of proceeds of the loan secured by the lien of the Insured Mortgage. Notwithstanding any other language contained in the insured provisions of this Policy, the above provisions are the sole provisions applicable to coverage for loss or damage resulting from mechanic's or materialmen's liens or claims therefore not of record.

Comment: This pending disbursement clause requires underwriter approval. This clause is designed for issuance if the construction mortgage does not have priority over mechanic's liens (e.g., recordation after commencement in some states; unfavorable law in states such as Colorado, Missouri, Virginia, and other states) and where the Company is unwilling to provide coverage for claims by all claimants because of prior work or materials (e.g., the Company is not satisfied with adequacy of loan funds, financial strength of indemnitors, or disbursement procedure). This clause provides limited coverage for mechanic's liens claims by those persons or entities receiving payments directly from the Insured pursuant to written disbursement authorization approved by the Insured. The Company generally requires waivers from and confirms payment to those persons. It does not insure against claims by other contractors or subcontractors, or claims for subsequent work or material.

Note: You may add additional local exceptions here. Please consult with our underwriting personnel in preparing appropriate provisions.

Any and all liens arising by reason of unpaid bills or claims for work performed or materials furnished in connection with improvements placed, or to be placed, upon the subject land.
