Agreement, and the Company shall cooperate in every respect in the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding.

ARTICLE XVI — SALVAGE AND SUBROGATION

A.	In the event of the payment of any indemnity by the Reinsurer under this Agreement, the Reinsurer shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all of the rights of the Company against any person or entity legally responsible for damages of the loss. The Company agrees to enforce such rights; but, in case the Company refuses or neglects to do so, the Reinsurer is hereby authorized and empowered to bring any appropriate action in the name of the Company or their policyholders or otherwise to enforce such rights.

B.	From any amount recovered by subrogation, salvage or other means, there shall first be deducted the expenses incurred in effecting the recovery. The balance shall then be used to reimburse the excess carriers in the inverse order to that in which their respective liabilities attached, before being used to reimburse the Company for its primary loss.

ARTICLE XVII — TERRORISM EXCESS RECOVERY

A.	For purposes of this Article:

	1.	“Act” shall mean the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, any amendments thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

	2.	“Affiliate,” “Insured Losses,” and “Program Year” shall have the meanings provided in the Act.

	3.	“Company” shall include the Company and all affiliates.

B.	This reinsurance shall not apply to any fines, civil penalties or surcharges assessed pursuant to the Act.

C.	To the extent that the Company allocates Insured Losses and/or federal assistance under the Act among affiliates, claims, contracts or otherwise in any manner which impacts the reinsurance provided hereunder, the Company shall apply a reasonable allocation method acceptable to the Reinsurer.

D.	To the extent that an Insured Loss is otherwise payable hereunder, the reinsurance provided by this Agreement shall apply only to the portion of liability, loss, cost and/or expense retained by the Company net of any federal assistance pursuant to the Act. For each Program Year, the liability of the Reinsurer for Insured Losses under this Agreement shall be reduced by the ratio that the financial assistance under the Act allocated to Policies subject to this Agreement bears to the Company’s total Insured Losses subject

No. TC1573A,B,C-R05

Swiss Re

	to this Agreement. If the Company does not make such allocation, the liability of the Reinsurer for Insured Losses in any Program Year under this Agreement shall be reduced by the ratio that the financial assistance available to the Company under the Act for that Program Year bears to the Company’s total Insured Losses for the same Program Year.

E.	The parties recognize that, for any Program Year, the Reinsurer may without waiver of the foregoing Paragraphs make payments for Insured Losses which, together with available financial assistance under the Act and the Company retentions and/or deductibles hereunder, exceed the Company’s Insured Losses. In such event, the Reinsurer’s proportional share of all such excess recovery (hereafter “Reinsurer’s Excess Share”) shall inure to the benefit of the Reinsurer. All excess recovery described in this Paragraph shall be allocated to the Reinsurer and the Company in proportion to the respective liability of each for Insured Losses, net of federal assistance under the Act, salvage, subrogation and other similar recoveries, as applicable.

F.	In the event of a Reinsurer’s Excess Share, the Company shall:

	1.	Promptly pay the Reinsurer’s Excess Share to the Reinsurer; or

	2.	Upon request of the Reinsurer at any time and at the Reinsurer’s sole discretion, instead assign to the Reinsurer its rights to recover directly from the federal government any portion of Reinsurer’s Excess Share not already paid to the Reinsurer. The Company shall cooperate with and assist the Reinsurer, at its own expense, to the extent reasonably necessary for the Reinsurer to exercise those rights. If the Reinsurer is unable, for any reason, to exercise any right assigned to it by the Company pursuant to this Article, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer’s Excess Share to the Reinsurer as if no assignment had taken place to the extent that the Company has not been deemed to have forfeited the right to financial assistance under the Act by virtue of the attempted assignment.

G.	In the event of an Insured Loss, the Company shall provide the Reinsurer with a monthly report detailing claim settlement activities and financial assistance under the Act. Calculations for each Program Year shall continue to be made until the settlement of all Insured Losses covered hereunder.

ARTICLE XVIII — ACCESS TO RECORDS

The Reinsurer or its duly authorized representatives shall have the right to examine, at the offices of the Company at a reasonable time, during the currency of this Agreement or anytime thereafter, all books and records of the Company relating to business which is the subject of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIX — TAXES

The Company shall be liable for all taxes on premiums paid to the Reinsurer under this Agreement, except income or profit taxes of the Reinsurer, and shall indemnify and hold the Reinsurer harmless for any such taxes which the Reinsurer may become obligated to pay to any local, state or federal taxing authority.

ARTICLE XX — CURRENCY

Wherever the word “dollars” or the “$” symbol is used in this Agreement, it shall mean dollars of the United States of America, excepting in those cases where the Policy is issued by the Company in Canadian dollars, in which case it shall mean dollars of Canada. In the event the Company is involved in a loss requiring payment in United States and Canadian currency, the Company’s retention and the limit of liability of the Reinsurer shall be apportioned between the two currencies in the same proportion as the amount of net loss in each currency bears to the total amount of net loss paid by the Company. For the purposes of this Agreement, where the Company receives premiums or pays losses in currencies other than United States or Canadian currency, such premiums and losses shall be converted into United States dollars at the actual rates of exchange at which the premiums and losses are entered in the Company’s books.

ARTICLE XXI — OFFSET

Each party to this Agreement together with their successors or assigns shall have and may exercise, at any time, the right to offset any balance or balances due the other (or, if more than one, any other). Such offset may include balances due under this Agreement and any other agreements heretofore or hereafter entered into between the parties regardless of whether such balances arise from premiums, losses or otherwise, and regardless of capacity of any party, whether as assuming insurer and/or ceding insurer, under the various agreements involved, provided however, that in the event of insolvency of a party hereto, offsets shall only be allowed in accordance with the provisions of Section 7427 of the Insurance Law of the State of New York to the extent such statute or any other applicable law, statute or regulation governing such offset shall apply.

Before instituting a hearing, the two arbitrators so appointed shall choose an umpire. If, within 20 days after the appointment of the arbitrator chosen by the respondent, the two arbitrators fail to agree upon the appointment of an umpire, each of them shall nominate three individuals to serve as umpire, of whom the other shall decline two and the umpire shall be chosen from the remaining two by drawing lots. The name of the individual first drawn shall be the umpire.

D.	Failure of Party to Appoint an Arbitrator — If the respondent fails to appoint an arbitrator within 30 days after receiving a notice of intention to arbitrate, the claimant’s arbitrator shall appoint an arbitrator on behalf of the respondent, such arbitrator shall then, together with the claimant’s arbitrator, choose an umpire as provided in Paragraph C. of Part III of this Article.

Swiss Re

B.	The Reinsurer shall be given written notice of the pendency of each claim or loss which may involve the reinsurance provided by this Agreement within a reasonable time after such claim or loss is filed in the insolvency proceedings. The Reinsurer shall have the right to investigate each such claim or loss and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceedings where the claim or loss is to be adjudicated, any defense which it may deem available to the Company, its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

C.	In addition to the offset provisions set forth in Article XXI- Offset, any debts or credits, liquidated or unliquidated, in favor of or against either party on the date of the receivership or liquidation order (except where the obligation was purchased by or transferred to be used as an offset) are deemed mutual debts or credits and shall be set off with the balance only to be allowed or paid. Although such claim on the part of either party against the other may be unliquidated or undetermined in amount on the date of the entry of the receivership or liquidation order, such claim will be regarded as being in existence as of such date and any claims then in existence and held by the other party may be offset against it.

D.	Nothing contained in this Article is intended to change the relationship or status of the parties to this Agreement or to enlarge upon the rights or obligations of either party hereunder except as provided herein.
