Attached to and forming a part of
Policy of Title Insurance No. __________
Issued by
STEWART TITLE GUARANTY COMPANY
The Company hereby insures against loss or damage by reason of:
(a) The invalidity or unenforceability of the lien of the insured mortgage resulting from the provisions therein which provide for revaluation of the indebtedness secured thereby based upon changes in the conversion rate between U.S. dollars and the stated foreign currency.
(b) Loss of priority of the lien of the insured mortgage as security for the unpaid principal balance of the loan, which loss of priority is caused by such changes in the conversion rate.
THIS ENDORSEMENT MAY NOT BE ISSUED WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM STEWART TITLE GUARANTY
UNDERWRITING PERSONNEL.
The Company acknowledges that changes from time to time in the conversion rate between U.S. dollars and the stated foreign currency may decrease or increase the dollar amount of the indebtedness secured by the insured mortgage. The Company hereby agrees that, so long as any portion of the indebtedness secured by the insured mortgage shall remain outstanding, any such increase in the dollar amount of indebtedness shall not be deemed by the Company to constitute additional principal indebtedness created subsequent to date of policy within the meaning of paragraph 8 of the Conditions and Stipulations of the policy; provided, however, that the total liability of the Company under the policy at any time shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the face amount of the policy and the costs which the Company is obligated to pay under the terms and provisions of the policy.
"Changes in the conversion rate" as used in this endorsement, shall mean only those changes in the conversion rate calculated pursuant to the formula provided in the insured mortgage at date of policy.
This endorsement does not insure against loss or damage based upon (a) the failure to pay any mortgage recording tax or similar charge applicable to the mortgage described in Schedule A at date of policy or as a result of increases in the amount of indebtedness resulting from changes in the conversion rate of U.S. dollars and the stated foreign currency, (b) usury, (c) any consumer credit protection or truth-in-lending law, (d) bankruptcy, or (e) any invalidity or unenforceability or loss of priority of the mortgage as to any indebtedness in amounts in U.S. dollars in excess of the amount stated in the policy.
This endorsement is made a part of the policy and is subject to all of the
terms and conditions thereof and of any prior endorsements thereto, except
that the insurance afforded by this endorsement is not subject to paragraph
3(d) of the Exclusions from Coverage. 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 increase the face amount thereof.
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. Otherwise, this endorsement is subject to all of the terms and provisions of the policy and of any prior endorsements.
