5.14 Conduct of Proceedings
A. In respect of Insuring Agreements 1.5 and 1.6, we may take over and conduct (in your name) the defence of any **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** in respect of which we may be liable to indemnify you.

B. You agree to do nothing which will or might prejudice us in respect of a **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** covered by this **Policy**.

C. You must not make any admission of liability in respect of, or agree to settle, any **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim**, including any **Expenses**, without our prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld), and we must be consulted in advance of investigation, defence and settlement of any **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim**.

5.15 Disputes Involving Defence & Settlement of Claims
A. Where a dispute arises between you and us as to whether a **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** under this **Policy** should be settled or a judgment or determination appealed, we will be entitled to brief senior counsel (to be mutually agreed or, in default of agreement, you are to select one of the three senior counsel nominated by us), to advise on whether or not the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** should be contested, and if not, on the amount for which the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** should be settled or whether a judgment or determination should be appealed. In providing such advice and in making any recommendation as to settlement, senior counsel is entitled to take into account both legal and commercial considerations. Senior counsel must have regard to the damages and costs that are likely to be recovered, the defence costs that will be incurred in contesting the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** and the prospects of the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** being successfully defended. You will not be required to contest the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** unless senior counsel recommends that, having regard to all the circumstances, the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** should be contested.

B. The costs of obtaining this recommendation will be treated by us as part of **Expenses**.

C. If senior counsel recommends that, having regard to all the circumstances, settlement of the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** should be attempted, then subject to receiving the **Insured's** consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), we will attempt settlement of the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** in accordance with senior counsel's recommendation. Where settlement is attempted in accordance with senior counsel's recommendation but is unsuccessful, we will continue to indemnify the **Insured** subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions and limitations of this **Policy**.

D. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this clause, where we have the right to conduct the defence of any **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim**, we are also entitled to settle such **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** if it is in receipt of senior counsel's opinion that settlement of the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim** should be attempted, having regard to the matters set out in paragraph A. In such circumstances, we will consult with the **Insured** the subject of the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim**. Should the **Insured** elect not to attempt settlement in accordance with senior counsel's recommendations and elect to contest the **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim**, our liability will be limited to the settlement amount recommended by senior counsel, plus the **Expenses** incurred up to the date the recommendation was made. Notwithstanding any advice from such senior counsel, we shall be entitled, if we elect to do so in our absolute discretion, to continue to defend such **Privacy and Network Security Claim** or **Media Claim**.

E. Any election under this Condition must be made in writing to us as soon as practicable, but no later than fourteen (14) days following receipt of senior counsel's recommendation.
