A savings institution that makes a loan, the proceeds of which are used or may
be used by the borrower to finance the purchase, design, manufacture,
construction, repair, modification, or improvement of real or personal property
for personal use, or for sale or lease to others, or for the acquisition or
operation of a business, shall not be held liable to such borrower or to any
third persons (i) for any loss or damage occasioned by any defect in the real or
personal property so purchased, designed, manufactured, constructed, repaired,
modified, or improved, (ii) for any loss or damage resulting from the failure of
the borrower to use due care in the design, manufacture, construction, repair,
modification, or improvement of any such real or personal property, or (iii) for
the acts or omissions of the borrower in acquisition or operation of a business,
unless such loss or damage is a result of an action of the savings institution
