In each case where an exemption is\nclaimed under this subdivision, the lender shall provide documentation\nin a format approved by the commissioner of taxation and finance to\nenable recording officers to affirmatively determine when a mortgage\nbeing presented for recording is a reverse mortgage conforming to such\nprovisions of the real property law and entitled to an exemption under\nthis subdivision.

Provided, however, if\nsubsequent to the recording of such mortgage, the proceeds which the\nauthorized lender is obligated to lend the borrower are increased at any\ntime, such new or further indebtedness or obligation shall be the\nmeasure of the tax at such time unless at that time an exemption is\napplicable under the first sentence of this subdivision or otherwise.\n
