<br />S. CONTRACT OF INDEMNITY; DETERMINATION AND EXTENT OF LIABILITY
<br />This policy is a contract of indemnity against actual monetary loss or damage sustained or incurred by an
<br />Insured Claimant who has suffered loss or damage by reason of matters insured against by this policy. This
<br />policy is not an abstract of the Title, report of the condition of the Title, legal opinion, opinion of the Title, or
<br />other representation of the status of the Title. All claims asserted under this policy are based in contract and
<br />are restricted to the terms and provisions of this policy. The Company is not liable for any claim alleging
<br />negligence or negligent misrepresentation arising from or in connection with this policy or the determination
<br />of the insurability of the Title.
<br />a. The extent of liability of the Company for loss or damage under this policy does not exceed the
<br />lesser of:
<br />I. the Amount of Insurance; or
<br />ii. the difference between the fair market value of the Title, as insured, and the fair market
<br />value of the Title subject to the matter insured against by this polity.
<br />b. Except as provided in Condition 8.c. or 8.d., the fair market value of the Title in Condition 8.a.ii. is
<br />calculated using the date the Insured discovers the defect, lien, encumbrance, adverse claim, or
<br />other matter insured against by this policy.
<br />C. If, at the Date of Policy, the Title to all of the land is void by reason of a matter insured against by
<br />this policy, then the Insured Claimant may, by written notice given to the Company, elect to use
<br />the Date of Policy as the date for calculating the fair market value of the Title in Condition 8.a.11.
<br />d. If the Company pursues its rights under Condition 5.b. and is unsuccessful in establishing the Title,
<br />as insured:
<br />I. the Amount of Insurance will be increased by 15%; and
<br />ii. the Insured Claimant may, by written notice given to the Company, elect, as an
<br />alternative to the dates set forth in Condition 8.b. or, if it applies, B.c., to use either the
<br />date the settlement, action, proceeding, or other act described in Condition 5.b. is
<br />concluded or the date the notice of claim required by Condition 3 is received by the
<br />Company as the date for calculating the fair market value of the Title in Condition 8.a.ii.
<br />e. In addition to the extent of liability for loss or damage under Conditions 8.a. and 8.d., the
<br />Company will also pay the costs, attorneys' fees, and expenses incurred in accordance with
<br />Conditions 5 and 7.
<br />9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
