This endorsement does not insure against loss or damage, and the Company will not pay costs, attorneys' fees, or expenses, by reason of any claim that arises out of the transaction creating the Modification by reason of the operation of federal bankruptcy, state insolvency, or similar creditors' rights laws that is based on:

1.    the Modification being deemed a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer; or

2.    the Modification being deemed a preferential transfer except where the preferential transfer results from the failure

a.    to timely record the instrument of transfer; or

b.    of such recordation to impart notice to a purchaser for value or to a judgment or lien creditor.

This endorsement is issued as part of the policy. Except as it expressly states, it does not (i) modify any of the terms and provisions of the policy, (ii) modify any prior endorsements, (iii) extend the Date of Policy, or (iv) increase the Amount of Insurance. To the extent a provision of the policy or a previous endorsement is inconsistent with an express provision of this endorsement, this endorsement controls.
