LA ALTA Endorsement 14.2 (Future Advance-Letter of Credit) (with MML)
V
1
Explanation:
The ALTA Endorsement 14.2 is designed for insurance of a mortgage securing a letter of credit or other surety or reimbursement agreement. The ALTA Endorsement 14.2 insures against (1) invalidity or unenforceability of the insured mortgage as security for Advances; (2) lack of priority of the lien of the insured mortgage as security for Advances; and (3) invalidity or unenforceability of the mortgage because of Re-Advances and repayments, lack of outstanding debt before an Advance, and failure to comply with legal requirements for Advances.
Unlike ALTA Endorsements 14 and 14.1, the ALTA 14.2 Endorsement does not insure with respect to interest rate adjustments.
Like ALTA Endorsements 14 and 14.1, this endorsement contains exclusions from coverage: real estate taxes and assessments, federal tax liens filed more than 45 days before the advance, federal or state environmental protection liens, and usury.
Unlike ALTA Endorsements 14 and 14.1, this endorsement does not exclude Advances made after a bankruptcy (because of favorable law accorded Advances under reimbursement or similar agreements), or consumer credit protection or truth-in-lending laws (because this endorsement is contemplated only on commercial transactions).
The Endorsement may be issued only on commercial transactions.
Underwriting Requirements:
The underwriting requirements are as follows:
- Verify the mortgage (a) expressly secures reimbursement to the lender of
Advances pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement executed in connection with

reimbursement obligation, and (b) complies with state requirements for disclosure
of future Advances in Virtual Underwriter under 17.46.12 "Future Advance
