for which the Company may be liable by virtue of this Guarantee. If prompt notice
shall not be given to the Company, then all liability of the Company shall terminate
with regard to the matter or matters for which prompt notice is required; provided,

which the Assured is a party, notwithstanding the nature of any allegation in such

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 object for reasonable cause) to represent the Assured and shall not

proof of loss or damage shall describe the matters covered by this Guarantee which
constitute the basis of loss or damage and shall state, to the extent possible, the
basis of calculating the amount of the loss or damage. If the Company is prejudiced
by the failure of the Assured to provide the required proof of loss or 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 produce for

claim. Failure of the Assured to submit for examination under oath, produce other
