e. Any notices of violation of covenants, conditions, or restrictions relating to environmental protection recorded or filed in the public records.

2.Damage to existing buildings

a. That are located on or encroach upon that portion of the land subject to any easement excepted in Schedule B, which damage results from the exercise of the right to maintain the easement for the purpose for which it was granted or reserved;

b. Resulting from the future exercise of any right existing at Date of Policy to use the surface of the land for the extraction or development of minerals excepted from the description of the land or excepted in Schedule B.

3.Any final court order or judgment requiring the removal from any land adjoining the land of any encroachment, other than fences, landscaping, or driveways, excepted in Schedule B.

4.Any final court order or judgment denying the right to maintain any existing building on the land because of any violation of covenants, conditions, or restrictions, or building setback lines shown on a plat of subdivision recorded or filed in the public records.

Wherever in this endorsement the words "covenants, conditions, or restrictions" appear, they shall not be deemed to refer to or include the terms, covenants, conditions, or limitations contained in an instrument creating a lease.

As used in paragraphs 1.a. and 4, the words "covenants, conditions, or restrictions" do not include any covenants, conditions, or restrictions (a) relating to obligations of any type to perform maintenance, repair, or remediation on the land, or (b) pertaining to environmental protection or any kind or nature, including hazardous or toxic matters, conditions or substances, except to the extent that a notice of a violation or alleged violation affecting the land has been recorded or filed in the public records at Date of Policy and is not excepted in Schedule B.

This endorsement is made a 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.  Otherwise, this endorsement is subject to all of the terms and provisions of the policy and of any prior endorsements.
