ARTICLE 16

The Reinsurer is reinsuring, to the amount herein provided, the obligations of the Company under any original insurance. The Company shall be the sole judge as to:

	1.		what shall constitute a claim or loss covered under any original insurance or reinsurance written by the Company;

	2.		the Company’s liability thereunder;

	3.		the amount or amounts that it shall be proper for the Company to pay thereunder.

B.		The Reinsurer shall be bound by the judgment of the Company as to the obligation(s) and liability(ies) of the Company under any original insurance subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract.

C.		Any inadvertent error, omission or delay in complying with the terms and conditions of this Contract shall not be held to relieve either party hereto from any liability that would attach to it hereunder if such error, omission or delay has not been made, provided such error, omission or delay is rectified immediately upon discovery.

ARTICLE 17

INSOLVENCY

A.		In the event of the insolvency of the Company, this reinsurance shall be payable directly to the Company, or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the Company without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company has failed to pay all or a portion of any claim. It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the Company indicating the policy or bond reinsured, which claim would involve a possible liability on the part of the Reinsurer within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the conservation or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership, and that during the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at their own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be adjudicated any defense of defenses that they may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to the approval of the court, against the Company as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

B.		Where two or more Reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the Company.

11 of 17

As to all reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective under this Contract, the reinsurance shall be payable as set forth above by the Reinsurer to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, (except as provided by Sections 4118(a)(1)(A) and 1114(c) of the New York Insurance Law) or except (1) where the Contract specifically provides another payee in the event of the insolvency of the Company, or (2) where the Reinsurer, with the consent of the direct insured or insureds, have assumed such policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to the payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees. Then, and in that event only, the Company, with the prior approval of the certificate of assumption on New York risks by the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, is entirely released from its obligation and the Reinsurer pays any loss directly to payees under such policy.

ARTICLE 18

SERVICE OF SUIT

A.		This article applies only to those Reinsurers not domiciled in the United States of America, and/or not authorized in any state, territory and/or district of the United States of America where authorization is required by insurance regulatory authorities.

B.		In the event of the failure of a Reinsurer to pay any amount claimed to be due under this Contract, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, shall submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction within the United States of America and shall comply with all requirements necessary to give such court jurisdiction; and all matters arising hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the law and practice of such court. Nothing in this clause constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Reinsurer’s rights to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America, to remove an action to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the laws of the United States of America or of any state in the United States of America.

C.

D.		The above named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on behalf of the Reinsurer(s) in any such suit and/or upon the request of the Company to give a written undertaking to the Company that the agent for service of process shall enter a general appearance on behalf of the Reinsurer(s) in the event such a suit shall be instituted.

12 of 17

Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States of America that makes provision therefor, the Reinsurer(s) hereby designate the Superintendent, Commissioner or Director of Insurance or other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his successor or successors in office, as its true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising our of this Contract and hereby designates the agent for service of process as the firm to whom the said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

The arbitrators shall be persons knowledgeable about insurance and reinsurance who have no personal or financial interest in the result of the arbitration.

D.		Within 30 days after all arbitrators have been appointed, the panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures and schedules of hearings.

E.		The panel shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound by the strict rules of procedure and evidence. The arbitration shall take place in New York, New York, or at such other place as the parties shall agree. The decision of any two arbitrators shall be in writing and shall be final and binding. The panel is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate.

F.		The panel shall interpret this Contract as an honorable engagement rather than as merely a legal obligation and shall make its decision considering the custom and practice of the applicable insurance and reinsurance business as promptly as possible after the hearings. Judgment upon an award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

13 of 17

Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the cost of the third arbitrator.
