provision of this policy. If the Company exercises its rights under this subsection, it must do so diligently.
(c) Whenever the Company brings an action or asserts a defense as required or permitted by this policy, the Company may pursue the litigation
to a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, and it expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to appeal any

prosecute, or continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or matters requiring such cooperation.
(b) The Company may reasonably require the Insured Claimant to submit to examination under oath by any authorized representative of

in the custody or control of a third party that 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 notbe 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,

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