Statutory Impairments Clause Samples
The Statutory Impairments clause defines how the agreement will be affected if any of its terms are found to be invalid, unenforceable, or in conflict with applicable laws or regulations. Typically, this clause ensures that only the specific provision that is impaired by statute is modified or removed, while the remainder of the contract remains in full effect. Its core function is to preserve the integrity and enforceability of the agreement even if certain terms are rendered void by law, thereby minimizing disruption and legal uncertainty.

If the Reinsurer fails to provide such Objection Notice to the Ceding Company within such time period, the Reinsurer shall be deemed to have accepted such impairment determination. During the five (5) Business Days immediately following the delivery of an Objection Notice, the Ceding Company and the Reinsurer will seek in good faith to resolve any disputes as to the determination or calculation of statutory impairments of the applicable ModCo Assets.
