I ne IUIIUWlrly renes ween useu ul uus Nuncy nlCall.
(a) "insured": the insured named in Schedule A, and, subject to any rights
or defenses the Company would have had against the named insured, those who

successors.
(b) "insured claimant": an insured claiming loss or damage.

knowledge or notice which may be imputed to an insured by reason of the public
records as defined in this policy or any other records which impart constructive
notice of matters affecting the land.
(d) "land": the land described or referred to in Schedule A, and
improvements affixed thereto which by law constitute real property. The term
"land" does not include any property beyond the lines of the area described or
referred to in Schedule A, nor any right, title, interest, estate or easement in
abutting streets, roads, avenues, alleys, lanes, ways or waterways, but nothing
herein shall modify or limit the extent to which a right of access to and from the

(e) "mortgage": mortgage, deed of trust, trust deed, or other security
instrument.
(f) "public records": records established under state statutes at Date of
Policy for the purpose of imparting constructive notice of matters relating to real

environmental protection liens filed in the records of the clerk of the United States
district court for the district in which the land is located.
(g) "unmarketability of the title": an alleged or apparent matter affecting

the obligation to purchase by virtue of a contractual condition requiring the
delivery of marketable title.
2. CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE AFTER CONVEYANCE OF TITLE.
The coverage of this policy shall continue in force as of Date of Policy in
favor of an insured only so long as the insured retains an estate or interest in the
land, or holds an indebtedness secured by a purchase money mortgage given by
a purchaser from the insured, or only so long as the insured shall have liability by
reason of covenants of warranty made by the insured in any transfer or
conveyance of the estate or interest. This policy shall not continue in force in
favor of any purchaser from the insured of either (i) an estate or interest in the
land, or (ii) an indebtedness secured by a purchase money mortgage given to the
insured.
3. NOTICE OF CLAIM TO BE GIVEN BY INSURED CLAIMANT.
The insured shall notify the Company promptly in writing (i) in case of any
litigation as set forth in Section 4(a) below, (ii) in case knowledge shall come to
an insured hereunder of any claim of title or interest which is adverse to the title
to the estate or interest, as insured, and which might cause loss or damage for
which the Company may be liable by virtue of this policy, or (iii) if title to the
estate or interest, as insured, is rejected as unmarketable. If prompt notice shall
not be given to the Company, then as to the insured all liability of the Company
shall terminate with regard to the matter or matters for which prompt notice is
required; provided, however, that failure to notify the Company shall in no case
prejudice the rights of any insured under this policy unless the Company shall be
prejudiced by the failure and then only to the extent of the prejudice.
4. DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION OF ACTIONS; DUTY OF INSURED
CLAIMANT TO COOPERATE.
(a) Upon written request by the insured and subject to the options
contained in Section 6 of these Conditions and Stipulations, the Company, at its
own cost and without unreasonable delay, shall provide for the defense of an
insured in litigation in which any third party asserts a claim adverse to the title or
interest as insured, but only as to those stated causes of action alleging a defect,
lien or encumbrance or other matter insured against by this policy. The
Company shall have the right to select counsel of its choice (subject to the right
of the insured to object for reasonable cause) to represent the insured as to
those stated causes of action and shall not be liable for and will not pay the fees
of any other counsel. The Company will not pay any fees, costs or expenses
incurred by the insured in the defense of those causes of action which allege
matters not insured against by this policy.
(b) The Company shall have the right, at its own cost, to institute and
prosecute any action or proceeding 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
insured, or to prevent or reduce loss or damage to the insured. The Company
may take any appropriate action under the terms of this policy, whether or not it
shall be liable hereunder, and shall not thereby concede liability or waive any
provision of this policy. If the Company shall exercise its rights under this
paragraph, it shall do so diligently.
(c) Whenever the Company shall have brought an action or interposed a
defense as required or permitted by the provisions of this policy, the Company
may pursue any litigation to final determination by a court of competent
ally auvCI bC )uUyl I lul n UI ul uvl.
(d) In all cases where this policy permits or requires the Company to
prosecute or provide for the defense of any action or proceeding, the insured
shall secure to the Company the right to so prosecute or provide defense in the
action or proceeding, and all appeals therein, and permit the Company to use, at
its option, the name of the insured for this purpose. Whenever requested by the
Company, the insured, at the Company's expense, shall give the Company all
reasonable aid (i) in any action or proceeding, securing evidence, obtaining
witnesses, prosecuting or defending the action or proceeding, or effecting
settlement, and (ii) in any other lawful act which in the opinion of the Company
may be necessary or desirable to establish the title to the estate or interest as
insured. If the Company is prejudiced by the failure of the insured to furnish the
required cooperation, the Company's obligations to the insured under the policy
shall terminate, including any liability or obligation to defend, prosecute, or
continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or matters requiring such
cooperation.
5. PROOF OF LOSS OR DAMAGE.
In addition to and after the notices required under Section 3 of these
Conditions and Stipulations have been provided the Company, a proof of loss or
damage signed and sworn to by the insured claimant shall be furnished to the
Company within 90 days after the insured claimant shall ascertain the facts
giving rise to the loss or damage. The proof of loss or damage shall describe the
defect in, or lien or encumbrance on the title, or other matter insured against by
this policy which constitutes 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 insured claimant to provide the
required proof of loss or damage, the Company's obligations to the insured under
the policy shall terminate, including any liability or obligation to defend,
prosecute, or continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or matters
requiring such proof of loss or damage.
In addition, the insured claimant may reasonably be required to submit to
examination under oath by any authorized representative of the Company and
shall produce for examination, inspection and copying, at such reasonable times
and places as may be designated by any authorized representative of the
Company, all records, books, ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda,
whether bearing a date before or after Date of Policy, which reasonably pertain to
the loss or damage. Further, if requested by any authorized representative of the
Company, the insured claimant shall grant its permission, in writing, for any
authorized representative of the Company to examine, inspect and copy all
records, books, ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda in the custody
or control of a third party, which reasonably pertain to the loss or damage. All
information designated as confidential by the insured claimant provided to the
Company pursuant to this Section shall not be disclosed to others unless, in the
reasonable judgment of the Company, it is necessary in the administration of the
claim. Failure of the insured claimant 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 this paragraph
shall terminate any liability of the Company under this policy as to that claim.
6. OPTIONS TO PAY OR OTHERWISE SETTLE CLAIMS; TERMINATION
OF LIABILITY.
In case of a claim under this policy, the Company shall have the following
additional options:
(a) To Pay or Tender Payment of the Amount of Insurance.

claimant, which were authorized by the Company, up to the time of payment or
tender of payment and which the Company is obligated to pay.
Upon the exercise by the Company of this option, all liability and obligations
to the insured under this policy, other than to make the payment required, shall
terminate, including any liability or obligation to defend, prosecute, or continue
any litigation, and the policy shall be surrendered to the Company for
cancellation.
(b) To Pay or Otherwise Settle With Parties Other than the Insured or
With the Insured Claimant.
(i) to pay or otherwise settle with other parties for or in the name of

damage provided for under this policy, together with any costs, attorneys' fees
and expenses incurred by the insured claimant which were authorized by the
Company up to the time of payment and which the Company is obligated to pay.

paragraphs (b)(i) or (ii), the Company's obligations to the insured under this
policy for the claimed loss or damage, other than the payments required to be

damage sustained or incurred by the insured claimant who has suffered
loss or damage by reason of matters insured against by this policy and
only to the extent herein described.
(a) The liability of the Company under this policy shall not exceed
the least of:

interest as insured and the value of the insured estate or interest subject
to the defect, lien or encumbrance insured against by this policy.

expenses incurred in accordance with Section 4 of these Conditions and
Stipulations.

which are not used as a single site, and a loss is established affecting one
or more of the parcels but not all, the loss shall be computed and settled
on a pro rata basis as if the amount of insurance under this policy was
divided pro rata as to the value on Date of Policy of each separate parcel
to the whole, exclusive of any improvements made subsequent to Date of
Policy, unless a liability or value has otherwise been agreed upon as to
each parcel by the Company and the insured at the time of the issuance of
this policy and shown by an express statement or by an endorsement
attached to this policy.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
(a) If the Company establishes the title, or removes the alleged
defect, lien or encumbrance, or cures the lack of a right of access to or
from the land, or cures the claim of unmarketability of title, all as insured,
in a reasonably diligent manner by any method, including litigation and the
completion of any appeals therefrom, it shall have fully performed its
obligations with respect to that matter and shall not be liable for any loss or
damage caused thereby.

policy shall be reduced by any amount the Company may pay under any
policy insuring a mortgage to which exception is taken in Schedule B or to
which the insured has agreed, assumed, or taken subject, or which is

necessary in order to perfect this right of subrogation. The insured
claimant shall permit the Company to sue, compromise or settle in the
name of the insured claimant and to use the name of the insured claimant

insured claimant, the Company shall be subrogated to these rights and
remedies in the proportion which the Company's payment bears to the
whole amount of the loss.
If loss should result from any act of the insured claimant, as stated
above, that act shall not void this policy, but the Company, in that event,
shall be required to pay only that part of any losses insured against by this
policy which shall exceed the amount, if any, lost to the Company by
reason of the impairment by the insured claimant of the Company's right of
subrogation.

The Company's right of subrogation against non-insured obligors
shall exist and shall include, without limitation, the rights of the insured to

which provide for subrogation rights by reason of this policy.
14. ARBITRATION.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, arbitration pursuant to the Title
Insurance Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association may
be demanded if agreed to by both the Company and the insured.
Arbitrable matters may include, but are not limited to, any controversy or
claim between the Company and the insured arising out of or relating to
this policy, any service of the Company in connection with its issuance or
the breach of a policy provision or other obligation. Arbitration pursuant to
this policy and under the Rules in effect on the date the demand for

Date of Policy shall be binding upon the parties. The award may include
attorneys' fees only if the laws of the state in which the land is located

Form 1190-21 B ORIGINAL
The following terms when used in this policy mean:
(a) "insured": the insured named in Schedule A, and, subject to any rights
or defenses the Company would have had against the named insured, those who
succeed to the interest of the named insured by operation of law as distinguished
from purchase including, but not limited to, heirs, distributees, devisees,
survivors, personal representatives, next of kin, or corporate or fiduciary
successors.
(b) "insured claimant": an insured claiming loss or damage.
(c) "knowledge" or "known": actual knowledge, not constructive
knowledge or notice which may be imputed to an insured by reason of the public
records as defined in this policy or any other records which impart constructive
notice of matters affecting the land.
(d) "land": the land described or referred to in Schedule A, and
improvements affixed thereto which by law constitute real property. The term
"land" does not include any property beyond the lines of the area described or
referred to in Schedule A, nor any right, title, interest, estate or easement in
abutting streets, roads, avenues, alleys, lanes, ways or waterways, but nothing
herein shall modify or limit the extent to which a right of access to and from the
land is insured by this policy.
(e) "mortgage": mortgage, deed of trust, trust deed, or other security
instrument.
(f) "public records": records established under state statutes at Date of
Policy for the purpose of imparting constructive notice of matters relating to real
property to purchasers for value and without knowledge. With respect to Section
1(a)(iv) of the Exclusions From Coverage, "public records" shall also include
environmental protection liens filed in the records of the clerk of the United States
district court for the district in which the land is located.
(g) "unmarketability of the title": an alleged or apparent matter affecting
the title to the land, not excluded or excepted from coverage, which would entitle
a purchaser of the estate or interest described in Schedule A to be released from
the obligation to purchase by virtue of a contractual condition requiring the
delivery of marketable title.
2. CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE AFTER CONVEYANCE OF TITLE.
The coverage of this policy shall continue in force as of Date of Policy in
favor of an insured only so long as the insured retains an estate or interest in the
land, or holds an indebtedness secured by a purchase money mortgage given by
a purchaser from the insured, or only so long as the insured shall have liability by
reason of covenants of warranty made by the insured in any transfer or
conveyance of the estate or interest. This policy shall not continue in force in
favor of any purchaser from the insured of either (i) an estate or interest in the
land, or (ii) an indebtedness secured by a purchase money mortgage given to the
insured.
3. NOTICE OF CLAIM TO BE GIVEN BY INSURED CLAIMANT.
The insured shall notify the Company promptly in writing (i) in case of any
litigation as set forth in Section 4(a) below, (ii) in case knowledge shall come to
an insured hereunder of any claim of title or interest which is adverse to the title
to the estate or interest, as insured, and which might cause loss or damage for
which the Company may be liable by virtue of this policy, or (iii) if title to the
estate or interest, as insured, is rejected as unmarketable. If prompt notice shall
not be given to the Company, then as to the insured all liability of the Company
shall terminate with regard to the matter or matters for which prompt notice is
required; provided, however, that failure to notify the Company shall in no case
prejudice the rights of any insured under this policy unless the Company shall be
prejudiced by the failure and then only to the extent of the prejudice.
4. DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION OF ACTIONS; DUTY OF INSURED
CLAIMANT TO COOPERATE.
(a) Upon written request by the insured and subject to the options
contained in Section 6 of these Conditions and Stipulations, the Company, at its
own cost and without unreasonable delay, shall provide for the defense of an
insured in litigation in which any third party asserts a claim adverse to the title or
interest as insured, but only as to those stated causes of action alleging a defect,
lien or encumbrance or other matter insured against by this policy. The
Company shall have the right to select counsel of its choice (subject to the right
of the insured to object for reasonable cause) to represent the insured as to
those stated causes of action and shall not be liable for and will not pay the fees
of any other counsel. The Company will not pay any fees, costs or expenses
incurred by the insured in the defense of those causes of action which allege
matters not insured against by this policy.
(b) The Company shall have the right, at its own cost, to institute and
prosecute any action or proceeding 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
insured, or to prevent or reduce loss or damage to the insured. The Company
may take any appropriate action under the terms of this policy, whether or not it
shall be liable hereunder, and shall not thereby concede liability or waive any
provision of this policy. If the Company shall exercise its rights under this
paragraph, it shall do so diligently.
(c) Whenever the Company shall have brought an action or interposed a
defense as required or permitted by the provisions of this policy, the Company
may pursue any litigation to final determination by a court of competent
any adverse judgment or order.
(d) In all cases where this policy permits or requires the Company to
prosecute or provide for the defense of any action or proceeding, the insured
shall secure to the Company the right to so prosecute or provide defense in the
action or proceeding, and all appeals therein, and permit the Company to use, at
its option, the name of the insured for this purpose. Whenever requested by the
Company, the insured, at the Company's expense, shall give the Company all
reasonable aid (i) in any action or proceeding, securing evidence, obtaining
witnesses, prosecuting or defending the action or proceeding, or effecting
settlement, and (ii) in any other lawful act which in the opinion of the Company
may be necessary or desirable to establish the title to the estate or interest as
insured. If the Company is prejudiced by the failure of the insured to furnish the
required cooperation, the Company's obligations to the insured under the policy
shall terminate, including any liability or obligation to defend, prosecute, or
continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or matters requiring such
cooperation.
5. PROOF OF LOSS OR DAMAGE.
In addition to and after the notices required under Section 3 of these
Conditions and Stipulations have been provided the Company, a proof of loss or
damage signed and sworn to by the insured claimant shall be furnished to the
Company within 90 days after the insured claimant shall ascertain the facts
giving rise to the loss or damage. The proof of loss or damage shall describe the
defect in, or lien or encumbrance on the title, or other matter insured against by
this policy which constitutes 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 insured claimant to provide the
required proof of loss or damage, the Company's obligations to the insured under
the policy shall terminate, including any liability or obligation to defend,
prosecute, or continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or matters
requiring such proof of loss or damage.
In addition, the insured claimant may reasonably be required to submit to
examination under oath by any authorized representative of the Company and
shall produce for examination, inspection and copying, at such reasonable times
and places as may be designated by any authorized representative of the
Company, all records, books, ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda,
whether bearing a date before or after Date of Policy, which reasonably pertain to
the loss or damage. Further, if requested by any authorized representative of the
Company, the insured claimant shall grant its permission, in writing, for any
authorized representative of the Company to examine, inspect and copy all
records, books, ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda in the custody
or control of a third party, which reasonably pertain to the loss or damage. All
information designated as confidential by the insured claimant provided to the
Company pursuant to this Section shall not be disclosed to others unless, in the
reasonable judgment of the Company, it is necessary in the administration of the
claim. Failure of the insured claimant 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 this paragraph
shall terminate any liability of the Company under this policy as to that claim.
6. OPTIONS TO PAY OR OTHERWISE SETTLE CLAIMS; TERMINATION
OF LIABILITY.
In case of a claim under this policy, the Company shall have the following
additional options:
(a) To Pay or Tender Payment of the Amount of Insurance.
To pay or tender payment of the amount of insurance under this policy
together with any costs, attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the insured
claimant, which were authorized by the Company, up to the time of payment or
tender of payment and which the Company is obligated to pay.
Upon the exercise by the Company of this option, all liability and obligations
to the insured under this policy, other than to make the payment required, shall
terminate, including any liability or obligation to defend, prosecute, or continue
any litigation, and the policy shall be surrendered to the Company for
cancellation.
(b) To Pay or Otherwise Settle With Parties Other than the Insured or
With the Insured Claimant.
(i) to pay or otherwise settle with other parties for or in the name of

obligated to pay; or

damage provided for under this policy, together with any costs, attorneys' fees
and expenses incurred by the insured claimant which were authorized by the
Company up to the time of payment and which the Company is obligated to pay.

paragraphs (b)(i) or (ii), the Company's obligations to the insured under this
policy for the claimed loss or damage, other than the payments required to be

expenses incurred in accordance with Section 4 of these Conditions and
Stipulations.
8. APPORTIONMENT.
If the land described in Schedule A consists of two or more parcels
which are not used as a single site, and a loss is established affecting one
or more of the parcels but not all, the loss shall be computed and settled
on a pro rata basis as if the amount of insurance under this policy was
divided pro rata as to the value on Date of Policy of each separate parcel
to the whole, exclusive of any improvements made subsequent to Date of
Policy, unless a liability or value has otherwise been agreed upon as to
each parcel by the Company and the insured at the time of the issuance of
this policy and shown by an express statement or by an endorsement
attached to this policy.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
(a) If the Company establishes the title, or removes the alleged
defect, lien or encumbrance, or cures the lack of a right of access to or
from the land, or cures the claim of unmarketability of title, all as insured,

completion of any appeals therefrom, it shall have fully performed its
obligations with respect to that matter and shall not be liable for any loss or
damage caused thereby.

insured for liability voluntarily assumed by the insured in settling any claim
or suit without the prior written consent of the Company.

attorneys' fees and expenses, shall reduce the amount of the insurance
pro tanto.
11. LIABILITY NONCUMULATIVE.
It is expressly understood that the amount of insurance under this
policy shall be reduced by any amount the Company may pay under any
policy insuring a mortgage to which exception is taken in Schedule B or to
which the insured has agreed, assumed, or taken subject, or which is
hereafter executed by an insured and which is a charge or lien on the
estate or interest described or referred to in Schedule A, and the amount
so paid shall be deemed a payment under this policy to the insured owner.
12. PAYMENT OF LOSS.

definitely fixed in accordance with these Conditions and Stipulations,

remedies which the insured claimant would have had against any person
or property in respect to the claim had this policy not been issued. If
requested by the Company, the insured claimant shall transfer to the
Company all rights and remedies against any person or property
necessary in order to perfect this right of subrogation. The insured
claimant shall permit the Company to sue, compromise or settle in the
name of the insured claimant and to use the name of the insured claimant
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
insured claimant, the Company shall be subrogated to these rights and
remedies in the proportion which the Company's payment bears to the
whole amount of the loss.
If loss should result from any act of the insured claimant, as stated
above, that act shall not void this policy, but the Company, in that event,
shall be required to pay only that part of any losses insured against by this
policy which shall exceed the amount, if any, lost to the Company by
reason of the impairment by the insured claimant of the Company's right of
subrogation.
(b) The Company's Rights Against Non-insured Obligors.
The Company's right of subrogation against non-insured obligors
shall exist and shall include, without limitation, the rights of the insured to
indemnities, guaranties, other policies of insurance or bonds,
notwithstanding any terms or conditions contained in those instruments
which provide for subrogation rights by reason of this policy.
14. ARBITRATION.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, arbitration pursuant to the Title
Insurance Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association may
be demanded if agreed to by both the Company and the insured.
Arbitrable matters may include, but are not limited to, any controversy or
claim between the Company and the insured arising out of or relating to
this policy, any service of the Company in connection with its issuance or
the breach of a policy provision or other obligation. Arbitration pursuant to
this policy and under the Rules in effect on the date the demand for
arbitration is made or, at the option of the insured, the Rules in effect at
Date of Policy shall be binding upon the parties. The award may include
attorneys' fees only if the laws of the state in which the land is located
permit a court to award attorneys' fees to a prevailing party. Judgment
upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof.

Title Insurance Arbitration Rules.
A copy of the Rules may be obtained from the Company upon
request.

negligence, and which arises out of the status of the title to the estate or
interest covered hereby or by any action asserting such claim, shall be

except by a writing endorsed hereon or attached hereto signed by either
the President, a Vice President, the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, or
