Even though the Company has no duty to defend or prosecute as
set forth in Paragraph 3 above:
(a) The Company shall have the right, at its sole option and cost,
to institute and prosecute any action or proceeding, interpose
a defense, as limited in (b), or to do any other act which in its
opinion may be necessary or desirable to establish the title to
the estate or interest as stated herein, or to establish the lien
rights of the Assured, or to prevent or reduce loss or damage
to the Assured. The Company may take any appropriate action
under the terms of this Guarantee, whether or not it shall be
liable hereunder, and shall not thereby concede liability or
waive any provision of this Guarantee. If the Company shall
exercise its rights under this paragraph, it shall do so diligently.
(b) If the Company elects to exercise its options as stated in
Paragraph 4(a) the Company shall have the right to select
counsel of its choice (subject to the right of such Assured to

of these Conditions and Stipulations have been provided to

ninety (90) days after the Assured shall ascertain the facts
giving rise to the loss or damage. The proof of loss or
damage shall describe the matters covered by this Guarantee
which constitute the basis of loss or damage and shall state,

damage, the Company's obligation to such assured under the
Guarantee shall terminate. In addition, the Assured may
reasonably be required to submit to examination under oath
by any authorized representative of the Company and shall

reasonable times and places as may be designated by any
authorized representative of the Company, all records, books,
ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda, whether

and memoranda in the custody or control of a third party,

information designated as confidential by the Assured
provided to the Company pursuant to this Section shall not be
disclosed to others unless, in the reasonable judgment of the

Failure of the Assured to submit for examination under oath,
produce other reasonably requested information or grant
permission to secure reasonably necessary information from
third parties as required in the above paragraph, unless
prohibited by law or governmental regulation, shall terminate
any liability of the Company under this Guarantee to the
Assured for that claim.

Termination of Liability.
In case of a claim under this Guarantee, the Company shall
have the following additional options:
(a) To Pay or Tender Payment of the Amount of Liability or

compromise for or in the name of the Assured any claim
which could result in loss to the Assured within the

benefit of a holder of a mortgage or a lienholder, the
Company shall have the option to purchase the
indebtedness secured by said mortgage or said lien for the
amount owing thereon, together with any costs, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the Assured claimant
which were authorized by the Company up to the time of
purchase.
Such purchase, payment or tender of payment of the full
amount of the Guarantee shall terminate all liability of the
Company hereunder. In the event after notice of claim has
been given to the Company by the Assured the Company

indebtedness shall transfer and assign said indebtedness,

which the Company is obligated to pay.
Upon the exercise by the Company of the option provided for
in Paragraph (b) the Company's obligation to the Assured
under this Guarantee for the claimed loss or damage, other
than to make the payment required in that paragraph, shall
terminate, including any obligation to continue the defense or
prosection of any litigation for which the Company has
exercised its options under Paragraph 4.

(b) the amount of the unpaid principal indebtedness secured by
the mortgage of an Assured mortgagee, as limited or provided
under Section 6 of these Conditions and Stipulations or as
reduced under Section 9 of these Conditions and Stipulations,
at the time the loss or damage assured against by this
Guarantee occurs, together with interest thereon; or
(c) the difference between the value of the estate or interest
covered hereby as stated herein and the value of the estate or
interest subject to any defect, lien or encumbrance assured

Assured in settling any claim or suit without the prior

for costs, attorneys' fees and expenses pursuant to Paragraph
4 shall reduce the amount of liability pro tanto.

Guarantee for endorsement of the payment unless the
Guarantee has been lost or destroyed, in which case
proof of loss or destruction shall be furnished to the
satisfaction of the Company.
(b) When liability and the extent of loss or damage has been
definitely fixed in accordance with these Conditions and
Stipulations, the loss or damage shall be payable within
thirty (30) days thereafter.
Subrogation Upon Payment or Settlement.
Whenever the Company shall have settled and paid a claim
under this Guarantee, all right of subrogation shall vest in the
Company unaffected by any act of the Assured claimant.
The Company shall be subrogated to and be entitled to all
rights and remedies which the Assured would have had
against any person or property in respect to the claim had
this Guarantee not been issued. If requested by the
Company, the Assured shall transfer to the Company all rights
and remedies against any person or property necessary in
order to perfect this right of subrogation. The Assured shall
permit the Company to sue, compromise or settle in the name
of the Assured and to use the name of the Assured in any
transaction or litigation involving these rights or remedies.
If a payment on account of a claim does not fully cover the
loss of the Assured the Company shall be subrogated to all
rights and remedies of the Assured after the Assured shall
have recovered its principal, interest, and costs of collection.
