a.      “Advance”: Only an advance of principal made after the Date of Policy as provided in the Agreement, including expenses of foreclosure, amounts advanced pursuant to the Insured Mortgage to pay taxes and insurance, assure compliance with laws, or to protect the lien of the Insured Mortgage before the time of acquisition of the Title, and reasonable amounts expended to prevent deterioration of improvements, together with interest on those advances.

a.      The invalidity or unenforceability of the lien of the Insured Mortgage as security for each Advance.

b.      The lack of priority of the lien of the Insured Mortgage as security for each Advance over any lien or encumbrance on the Title.

c.      The invalidity, unenforceability, or lack of priority of the lien of the Insured Mortgage as security for the Indebtedness, Advances, and unpaid interest resulting from:

i.       re-Advances and repayments of Indebtedness;

ii.       earlier periods of no indebtedness owing during the term of the Insured Mortgage;

iii.      the Insured Mortgage not complying with the requirements of State law of the State in which the Land is located to secure Advances;

iv.      failure of the Insured Mortgage to state the term for Advances; or

v.      failure of the Insured Mortgage to state the maximum amount secured by the Insured Mortgage.

4.      The Company further insures against loss or damage sustained by the Insured by reason of:

b.      The lack of priority of the lien of the Insured Mortgage as security for the Indebtedness, including any unpaid interest that was added to principal in accordance with any provisions of the Agreement, interest on interest, or interest as changed in accordance with the provisions of the Insured Mortgage, which lack of priority is caused by:

As used in Section 4, “interest” includes lawful interest based on appreciated value.
