to prosecute or provide for the defense of any action or proceeding
and any appeals, the Insured shall secure to the Company the right

Section shall not be disclosed to others unless, in the reasonable

the claim. Failure of the Insured Claimant to submit for examination

third parties as required in this subsection, unless prohibited by
law or governmental regulation, shall terminate any liability of the
Company under this policy as to that claim.

defect, lien, or encumbrance, or cures the lack of a right of access
to or from the Land, or cures the claim of Unmarketable Title, all as
insured, in a reasonably diligent manner by any method, including
litigation and the completion of any appeals, it shall have fully
performed its obligations with respect to that matter and shall not
be liable for any loss or damage caused to the Insured.
(b) In the event of any litigation, including litigation by the Company
or with the Company's consent, the Company shall have no liability
for loss or damage until there has been a final determination by a
court of competent jurisdiction, and disposition of all appeals,
adverse to the Title, as insured.
(c) The Company shall not be liable for loss or damage to the
Insured for liability voluntarily assumed by the Insured in settling
any claim or suit without the prior written consent of the Company.

the Insured Claimant, the Company shall defer the exercise of its
right to recover until after the Insured Claimant shall have recovered
its loss.
