HEREIN CALLED THE COMPANY

Order No.:

The Company, recognizing the current effect of inflation on real property valuation and intending to provide additional monetary protection to the Insured Owner named in said Policy, hereby modifies said Policy as follows:

1. Notwithstanding anything contained in said Policy to the contrary, the amount of insurance provided by said Policy, as stated in Schedule A thereof, is subject to the cumulative annual upward adjustment in the manner and to the extent hereinafter specified.

2. "Adjustment Date" is defined, for the purpose of this Endorsement, to 12:01 a.m. on the first January 1st which occurs more than six months after the date of Policy, as shown in Schedule A of the Policy to which the Endorsement is attached, and on each succeeding January 1st.

3. An upward adjustment will be made on each of the Adjustment Dates, as defined above, by increasing the maximum amount of insurance provided by said policy (as said amount may have been increased theretofore under the terms of this Endorsement) by the same percentage, if any, by which the United States Department of Commerce Composite Construction Cost Index (base period 1967) for the month of September immediately preceding extends such index for the month of September one year earlier; provided, however, that the maximum amount of insurance in force shall never exceed 150% of the amount of insurance stated in Schedule A of said Policy, less the amount of any claim paid under said Policy which, under the terms of the Conditions and Stipulations, reduces the amount of insurance in force. There shall be no annual adjustment in the amount of insurance for years in which there is no increase in said Construction Cost Index.

4. In the settlement of any claim against the Company under said Policy, the amount of insurance in force shall be deemed to be the amount which is in force as of the date on which the insured claimant first learned of the assertion or possible assertion of such claim, or as of the date of receipt by the Company of the first notice of such claim, whichever shall first occur.

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, this Endorsement shall be effective only if one of the following conditions exists at Date of Policy:

a. The land described in this Policy is a parcel on which there is only a one-to-four family residential structure, including all improvements on the land related to residential use, in which the Insured Owner resides or intends to reside; or

b. The land consists of a residential condominium unit, together with common elements appurtenant thereto and related to residential use thereof, in which the Insured Owner resides or intends to reside.

NOTE: In connection with a future application for title insurance covering said land, reissue credit on premium charges (if applicable at all) will be allowed only upon the original face amount of insurance as stated in Schedule A of said Policy.

This endorsement is made a part of the policy and is subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof and of any prior endorsements thereto. Except to the extent expressly stated, it neither modifies any of the terms and provisions of the policy and any prior endorsements, nor does it extend the effective date of the policy and any prior endorsements, nor does it increase the face amount thereof.

Signed under seal for the Company, but this endorsement is to be valid only when it bears an authorized countersignature.
