(b)Damages or other liability for a pollution condition at a site incurred by a lender as a result of that lender exercising a foreclosure option.
(c)Loss or damages incurred by a lender as a result of a borrower’s inability to satisfy a loan obligation or due to the existence of an unforeseen and unexpected pollution condition.
(d)A duty to defend and pay for defense costs in an amount at least up to the amount of coverage available under the policy, irrespective of whether an administrative or judicial order requires the insured to compensate any party or pay for the loss, damages, or liability, so long as there exists a reasonably quantifiable legal obligation to pay damages.
