Each Mortgage Loan with an original principal balance greater than $100,000 is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender’s title insurance policy, or, if such ALTA lender’s title insurance policy is not available in the applicable jurisdiction, an equivalent lender’s title policy acceptable to an Agency, issued by a title insurer acceptable to an Agency and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in Section 3.02(j)(i), (ii) and (iii) above) Countrywide, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (including, if the Mortgage Loan is an Option ARM Mortgage Loan which provides for Negative Amortization, the maximum amount of Negative Amortization in accordance with the related Mortgage Note) and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the related Mortgage Note providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment.
