DELETION OF ARBITRATION PROVISION
First American Title Insurance Company
Texas Commitment T -7 (Rev. 5 -1 -08) Valid Only if Schedule A, B, C, D and Cover are attached
(Not applicable to the Texas Residential Owner Policy)
Arbitration is a common form of alternative dispute resolution. It can be a quicker and cheaper means to settle a
dispute with your Title Insurance Company. However, if you agree to arbitrate, you give up your right to take the
Title Company to court and your rights to discovery of evidence may be limited in the arbitration process. In
addition, you cannot usually appeal an arbitrator's award.
Your policy contains an arbitration provision (shown below). It allows you or the Company to
require arbitration if the amount of insurance is $2,000,000 or less. If you want to retain your right
to sue the Company in case of a dispute over a claim, you must request deletion of the arbitration
provision before the policy is issued. You can do this by signing this form and returning it to the
Company at or before the closing of your real estate transaction or by writing to the Company.
The arbitration provision in the Policy is as follows:
"Either the Company or the Insured may demand that the claim or controversy shall be submitted to arbitration
pursuant to the Title Insurance Arbitration Rules of the American Land Title Association ( "Rules "). Except as
provided in the Rules, there shall be no joinder or consolidation with claims or controversies of other persons.
Arbitrable matters may include, but are not limited to, any controversy or claim between the Company and the
Insured arising out of or relating to this policy, any service in connection with its issuance or the breach of a
policy provision, or to any other controversy or claim arising out of the transaction giving rise to this policy. All
arbitrable matters when the Amount of Insurance is $2,000,000 or less shall be arbitrated at the option of either
the Company or the Insured, unless the Insured is an individual person (as distinguished from an Entity). All
arbitrable matters when the Amount of Insurance is in excess of $2,000,000 shall be arbitrated only when agreed
to by both the Company and the Insured. Arbitration pursuant to this policy and under the Rules shall be binding
upon the parties. Judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction."

may amend Schedule B, but we will not be relieved of liability already incurred.

TEXAS TITLE INSURANCE INFORMATION

Your Commitment for Title Insurance is a legal contract between you and us. The Commitment is not an opinion or report of your title. It is a contract to issue
you a policy subject to the Commitment's terms and requirements.
Before issuing a Commitment for Title Insurance (the Commitment) or a Title Insurance Policy (the Policy), the Title Insurance Company (the Company)
determines whether the title is insurable. This determination has already been made. Part of that determination involves the Company's decision to insure the
title except for certain risks that will not be covered by the Policy. Some of these risks are listed in Schedule B of the attached Commitment as Exceptions.
Other risks are stated in the Policy as Exclusions. These risks will not be covered by the Policy.
Another part of the determination involves whether the promise to insure is conditioned upon certain requirements being met. Schedule C of the Commitment
lists these requirements that must be satisfied or the Company will refuse to cover them. You may want to discuss any matters shown in Schedules B and C of
the Commitment with an attorney. These matters will affect your title and your use of the land.
When your Policy is issued, the coverage will be limited by the Policy's Exceptions, Exclusions and Conditions, defined below.
- EXCEPTIONS are title risks that a Policy generally covers but does not cover in a particular instance. Exceptions are shown on Schedule B or discussed
in Schedule C of the Commitment. They can also be added if you do not comply with the Requirements section of the Commitment. When the Policy is
issued, all Exceptions will be on Schedule B of the Policy.
- EXCLUSIONS are title risks that a Policy generally does not cover. Exclusions are contained in the Policy but not shown or discussed in the
Commitment.
- CONDITIONS are additional provisions that qualify or limit your coverage. Conditions include your responsibilities and those of the Company. They are
contained in the Policy but not shown or discussed in the Commitment. The Policy Conditions are not the same as the Commitment Conditions.
You can get a copy of the policy form approved by the State Board of Insurance by calling the Title Insurance Company at 1- 800 - 347 -7826 or by calling the
title insurance agent that issued the Commitment. The State Board of Insurance may revise the policy form from time to time.
You can also get a brochure that explains the policy from the Texas Department of Insurance by calling 1- 800 - 252 -3439.
Before the Policy is issued, you may request changes in the policy. Some of the changes to consider are:
-- Request amendment of the "area and boundary" exception (Schedule B, paragraph 2). To get this amendment, you must furnish a survey and comply
with other requirements of the Company. On the Owner Policy, you must pay an additional premium for the amendment. If the survey is acceptable to
the Company and if the Company's other requirements are met, your Policy will insure you against loss because of discrepancies or conflicts in boundary
lines, encroachments or protrusions, or overlapping of improvements. The Company may then decide not to insure against specific boundary or survey
problems by making special exceptions in the Policy. Whether or not you request amendment of the "area and boundary" exception, you should
determine whether you want to purchase and review a survey if a survey is not being provided to you.
- -Allow the Company to add an exception to "rights of parties in possession." If you refuse this exception, the Company or the title insurance agent may
inspect the property. The Company may except to and not insure you against the rights of specific persons, such as renters, adverse owners or easement
holders who occupy the land. The Company may charge you for the inspection. If you want to make your own inspection, you must sign a Waiver of
Inspection form and allow the Company to add this exception to your Policy.
The entire premium for a Policy must be paid when the Policy is issued. You will not owe any additional premiums unless you want to increase your coverage
at a later date and the Company agrees to add an Increased Value Endorsement.

DELETION OF ARBITRATION PROVISION
First American Title Insurance Company
Texas Commitment T -7 (Rev. 5 -1 -08) Valid Only if Schedule A, B, C, D and Cover are attached
(Not applicable to the Texas Residential Owner Policy)
Arbitration is a common form of alternative dispute resolution. It can be a quicker and cheaper means to settle a
dispute with your Title Insurance Company. However, if you agree to arbitrate, you give up your right to take the
Title Company to court and your rights to discovery of evidence may be limited in the arbitration process. In
addition, you cannot usually appeal an arbitrator's award.
Your policy contains an arbitration provision (shown below). It allows you or the Company to
require arbitration if the amount of insurance is $2,000,000 or less. If you want to retain your right
to sue the Company in case of a dispute over a claim, you must request deletion of the arbitration
provision before the policy is issued. You can do this by signing this form and returning it to the
Company at or before the closing of your real estate transaction or by writing to the Company.
The arbitration provision in the Policy is as follows:
"Either the Company or the Insured may demand that the claim or controversy shall be submitted to arbitration
pursuant to the Title Insurance Arbitration Rules of the American Land Title Association ( "Rules "). Except as
provided in the Rules, there shall be no joinder or consolidation with claims or controversies of other persons.
Arbitrable matters may include, but are not limited to, any controversy or claim between the Company and the
Insured arising out of or relating to this policy, any service in connection with its issuance or the breach of a
policy provision, or to any other controversy or claim arising out of the transaction giving rise to this policy. All
arbitrable matters when the Amount of Insurance is $2,000,000 or less shall be arbitrated at the option of either
the Company or the Insured, unless the Insured is an individual person (as distinguished from an Entity). All
arbitrable matters when the Amount of Insurance is in excess of $2,000,000 shall be arbitrated only when agreed
to by both the Company and the Insured. Arbitration pursuant to this policy and under the Rules shall be binding
upon the parties. Judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction."

Your Commitment for Title Insurance is a legal contract between you and us. The Commitment is not an opinion or report of your title. It is a contract to issue
you a policy subject to the Commitment's terms and requirements.
Before issuing a Commitment for Title Insurance (the Commitment) or a Title Insurance Policy (the Policy), the Title Insurance Company (the Company)
determines whether the title is insurable. This determination has already been made. Part of that determination involves the Company's decision to insure the
title except for certain risks that will not be covered by the Policy. Some of these risks are listed in Schedule B of the attached Commitment as Exceptions.
Other risks are stated in the Policy as Exclusions. These risks will not be covered by the Policy.
Another part of the determination involves whether the promise to insure is conditioned upon certain requirements being met. Schedule C of the Commitment
lists these requirements that must be satisfied or the Company will refuse to cover them. You may want to discuss any matters shown in Schedules B and C of
the Commitment with an attorney. These matters will affect your title and your use of the land.
When your Policy is issued, the coverage will be limited by the Policy's Exceptions, Exclusions and Conditions, defined below.
- EXCEPTIONS are title risks that a Policy generally covers but does not cover in a particular instance. Exceptions are shown on Schedule B or discussed
in Schedule C of the Commitment. They can also be added if you do not comply with the Requirements section of the Commitment. When the Policy is
issued, all Exceptions will be on Schedule B of the Policy.
- EXCLUSIONS are title risks that a Policy generally does not cover. Exclusions are contained in the Policy but not shown or discussed in the
Commitment.
- CONDITIONS are additional provisions that qualify or limit your coverage. Conditions include your responsibilities and those of the Company. They are
contained in the Policy but not shown or discussed in the Commitment. The Policy Conditions are not the same as the Commitment Conditions.
You can get a copy of the policy form approved by the State Board of Insurance by calling the Title Insurance Company at 1- 800 - 347 -7826 or by calling the
title insurance agent that issued the Commitment. The State Board of Insurance may revise the policy form from time to time.
You can also get a brochure that explains the policy from the Texas Department of Insurance by calling 1- 800 - 252 -3439.
Before the Policy is issued, you may request changes in the policy. Some of the changes to consider are:
-- Request amendment of the "area and boundary" exception (Schedule B, paragraph 2). To get this amendment, you must furnish a survey and comply
with other requirements of the Company. On the Owner Policy, you must pay an additional premium for the amendment. If the survey is acceptable to
the Company and if the Company's other requirements are met, your Policy will insure you against loss because of discrepancies or conflicts in boundary
lines, encroachments or protrusions, or overlapping of improvements. The Company may then decide not to insure against specific boundary or survey
problems by making special exceptions in the Policy. Whether or not you request amendment of the "area and boundary" exception, you should
determine whether you want to purchase and review a survey if a survey is not being provided to you.
- -Allow the Company to add an exception to "rights of parties in possession." If you refuse this exception, the Company or the title insurance agent may
inspect the property. The Company may except to and not insure you against the rights of specific persons, such as renters, adverse owners or easement
holders who occupy the land. The Company may charge you for the inspection. If you want to make your own inspection, you must sign a Waiver of
Inspection form and allow the Company to add this exception to your Policy.
The entire premium for a Policy must be paid when the Policy is issued. You will not owe any additional premiums unless you want to increase your coverage
at a later date and the Company agrees to add an Increased Value Endorsement.
