<br />remedies. and permit it to use the name of the Insured for the recovery, retention or defense thereof. If the payment does not

<br />said payment bears to the amount of said loss.
<br />5. The Company has the right and option, in case any loss is claimed under this Policy by an Insured owner of an indebted-
<br />ness secured by mortgage or deed of trust, to pay such Insured the entire indebtedness of the mortgagor or trustor under said
<br />mortgage or deed of trust, together with all costs which the Company is obligated hereunder to pay, in which case the Company
<br />shall become the owner of, and such Insured shall at once assign and transfer to the Company said mortgage or deed of trust and
<br />the indebtedness thereby secured and such payment shall terminate all liability under this Policy to such Insured.
<br />6. A statement in writing of any loss or damage for which it is claimed the Company is liable under this Policy shall be
<br />furnished to the Company within sixty days after such lose or damage shall have been ascertained. No action or proceeding for

<br />created subsequent to the date hereof or resulting in no pecuniary loss to the Insured, or for defects, claims or encumbrances
<br />created or suffered by the Insured claiming such loss or damage, or by reason of defects, claims or encumbrances existing at the
<br />date of this Policy which were then known to the Insured claiming such lose or damage, or to any agent of such Insured, but were
<br />not at that date shown by the official records referred to in the "Exceptions" of this Policy, unless such defects, claims or encum-
<br />brances were prior to the date of this Policy brought to the actual notice of the Company by an instrument in writing signed by
<br />the Insured and were not shown in ' `Schedule B." The liability of the Company under this Policy shall in no case exceed in all

<br />pay and in no case shall such total liability exceed the amount of this Policy and said costs. All payments under this Policy shall
<br />reduce the amount of the insurance pro tanto and payment of loss or damage to an Insured owner of indebtedness shall reduce to

<br />out producing this Policy for indorsement of such payment.
