<br />right of the Insured to object for reasonable cause) to represent the Insured as to those covered
<br />causes of action. The Company is not liable for and will not pay the fees of any other counsel. The
<br />Company will not pay any fees, costs, or expenses incurred by the Insured in the defense of any
<br />cause of action that alleges matters not insured against by this policy.
<br />b. The Company has the right, in addition to the options contained in Condition 7, at its own cost, to
<br />institute and prosecute any action or proceeding or to do any other act that, in its opinion, may be
<br />necessary or desirable to establish the Title, as insured, or to prevent or reduce loss or damage to
<br />the Insured. The Company may take any appropriate action under the terms of this policy,
<br />whether or not it is liable to the Insured. The Company's exercise of these rights is not an
<br />admission of liability or waiver of any provision of this policy. If the Company exercises its rights
<br />under Condition 5.b., it must do so diligently.
<br />C. When the Company brings an action or asserts a defense as required or permitted by this policy,
<br />the Company may pursue the litigation to a final determination by a court having jurisdiction. The
<br />Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to appeal any adverse judgment or order.
<br />6. DUTY OF INSURED CLAIMANT TO COOPERATE
<br />a. When this policy permits or requires the Company to prosecute or provide for the defense of any
<br />action or proceeding and any appeals, the Insured will secure to the Company the right to
<br />prosecute or provide defense in the action or proceeding, including the right to use, at its option,
<br />the name of the Insured for this purpose.
<br />When requested by the Company, the Insured, at the Company's expense, must give the Company
<br />all reasonable aid in:
<br />1. securing evidence, obtaining witnesses, prosecuting or defending the action or
<br />proceeding, or effecting settlement; and
<br />ii. any other lawful act that in the opinion of the Company may be necessary or desirable to
<br />establish the Title or any other matter, as insured.
<br />If the Company is prejudiced by any failure of the Insured to furnish the required cooperation, the
<br />Company's liability and obligations to the Insured under this policy terminate, including any
<br />obligation to defend, prosecute, or continue any litigation, regarding the matter requiring such
<br />cooperation.
<br />b. The Company may reasonably require the Insured Claimant to submit to examination under oath
<br />by any authorized representative of the Company and to produce for examination, inspection, and
<br />copying, at such reasonable times and places as may be designated by the authorized
<br />representative of the Company, all records, in whatever medium maintained, including books,
<br />ledgers, checks, memoranda, correspondence, reports, e-mails, disks, tapes, and videos, whether
<br />bearing a date before or after the Date of Policy, that reasonably pertain to the loss or damage.
<br />Further, if requested by any authorized representative of the Company, the Insured Claimant must
<br />grant its permission, in writing, for any authorized representative of the Company to examine,
<br />inspect, and copy all the records in the custody or control of a third party that reasonably pertain
<br />to the loss or damage. No information designated in writing as confidential by the Insured
<br />Claimant provided to the Company pursuant to Condition 6 will be later disclosed to others unless,
<br />in the reasonable judgment of the Company, disclosure is necessary in the administration of the
<br />claim or required by law. Any failure of the Insured Claimant to submit for examination under oath,
<br />produce any reasonably requested information, or grant permission to secure reasonably necessary
<br />information from third parties as required in Condition 6.b., unless prohibited by law, terminates
<br />any liability of the Company under this policy as to that claim.
