(e) When liability has been definitely fixed in accordance with the conditions of this Guarantee, the loss or damage shall be payable within thirty days thereafter.

If the payment does not cover the loss of the Assured, the Company shall be subrogated to such rights and remedies in the proportion which said payment bears to the amount of said loss. The Assured, if requested by the Company, shall transfer to the Company all rights and remedies against any person or property necessary in order to perfect such right of subrogation, and shall permit the Company to use the name of the Assured in any transaction or litigation involving such rights or remedies.
