2. Fraud or dishonesty of the Issuing Agent or Approved Attorney in handling your funds or documents in
connection with such closings to the extent such fraud or dishonesty relates to the status of the title to said
interest in land or to the validity, enforceability, and priority of the lien of said mortgage on said interest in
land.
If you are a lender protected under the foregoing paragraph, your borrower in connection with a loan secured
by a mortgage on a one-to-four family dwelling shall be protected as if this letter were addressed to your
borrower.
Conditions and Exclusions:
A The Company will not be liable to you for loss arising out of:
1. Failure of the Issuing Agent or Approved Attorney to comply with your closing instructions, which
require title insurance protection inconsistent with that, set forth in the title insurance binder or
commitment issued by the Company. Instructions that require the removal of specific exceptions
to title or compliance with the requirements contained in said binder or commitment shall not be
deemed to be inconsistent
2. Loss or impairment of your funds in the course of collection or while on deposit with a bank due to
bank failure, insolvency or suspension, except such as shall result from failure of the Issuing Agent
or the Approved Attorney to comply with your written closing instructions to deposit the funds in a
bank which you designated by name.
3. Mechanics' and materialmen's liens in connection with your purchase or lease or construction loan
transactions, except to the extent that a tide insurance binder, commitment or policy of the
Company affords protection against such liens.
4. Failure of the Issuing Agent or Approved Attorney to comply with your written closing instructions
to the extent such instructions require a determination by the Issuing Agent or Approved Attorney
of the validity, enforceability or effectiveness of any document contemplated under paragraph 1(b)
above.
B. If the closing is to be conducted by an Issuing Agent or an Approved Attorney, a title insurance binder
or commitment for the issuance of a policy of title insurance of the Company must have been received
by you prior to the transmission of your final closing instructions to the Issuing Agent or Approved
Attorney.
C. When the Company shall have reimbursed you pursuant to the coverage contained in this letter, it shall
be subrogated to all rights and remedies, which you would have had against any person or property,
had you not been so reimbursed. Liability of the Company for such reimbursement shall be reduced to
the extent that you have knowingly and voluntarily impaired the value of such right of subrogation.
