been payable under all such insurances had this Policy not been effected. It is noted that Condition 16 of this Policy

proceedings or notice of sale relating to the property or by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous
than are permitted by this Policy, or by the non-occupation thereof, or by any other increase of risk taking place in the
Property Insured hereunder.

increase of hazard which shall come to the knowledge of the said Mortgagee (Chargee) and unless permitted by this
Policy it shall be noted thereon and the Mortgagee (Chargee) shall on demand pay the premium for such increased hazard
for the term thereof otherwise this Policy shall be null and void.
And it is further agreed that whenever the Company shall pay the said Mortgagee (Chargee) any sum in respect of loss
or damage this Policy and shall claim that as to the Mortgagor (Chargor) or Owner no liability therefor existed, the
Company shall become legally subrogated to all the rights of the Mortgagee (Chargee) to the extent of such payment but
not so as to impair the right of the said Mortgagee (Chargee) to recover the full amount of any claim it may have on such
Mortgagor (Chargor) or Owner or on any other party or parties insured hereunder or from any securities or funds available.
