ARTICLE XII.
COMMUTATION CLAUSE:
The Company or the Reinsurer may, at any time express their desire to the
other party to commute all losses which are applicable to any Agreement year and
which are still unsettled. In such event the Company and the Reinsurer shall
mutually determine and evaluate such losses and the payment by the Reinsurer of
their proportion of the amount so ascertained and mutually agreed to be the
value of such losses shall relieve them of all further liability, in respect of
that Agreement year both in respect of known or unknown losses.

or error is rectified immediately upon discovery; provided, however, this
Article is not to override retroactive dates specified in the Term Article.

Page 6 of 11

appoint an attorney of its own choice to assess the Company's claims procedures
who shall report to the Reinsurer the results of such.
ARTICLE XVIII.
FUNDING:
(This clause is only applicable to those Reinsurer(s) who cannot qualify for
credit by the State having jurisdiction over the Company's loss reserves.)
A. As regards policies or bonds issued by the Company coming within the scope of
this Agreement, the Company agrees that, when it shall file with the Insurance
Department or set up on its books reserves for losses covered hereunder which it
shall be required by law to set up, it will forward to the Reinsurer a statement
showing the proportion of such loss reserves which is applicable to the
Reinsurer. The Reinsurer hereby agrees that it will apply for and secure
delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional Letter of
Credit, issued by a bank which is acceptable to the regulatory authority(ies)
having jurisdiction over the Company's loss reserves in an amount equal to the
Reinsurer's proportion of reserves in respect of known outstanding losses that
have been reported to the Reinsurer and allocated loss expenses relating
thereto, plus reserves for losses incurred but not reported, as shown in the
statement prepared by the Company.
B. The Letter of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less than one (1)
year, and shall be automatically extended for one (1) year from its date of
expiration or any future expiration date unless thirty (30) days prior to any
expiration date the issuing bank shall notify the Company by registered mail
that the bank elects not to consider the Letter of Credit extended for any
additional period. An issuing bank, not a member of the Federal Reserve System
or not chartered in New York State shall provide sixty (60) days notice to the
Company prior to any expiration in the event of non-extension.
C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company or its
successors in interest may draw upon such credit at any time without diminution
because of the insolvency of the Company or of the Reinsurer for one or more of
the following purposes only:
1. To pay the Reinsurer's share or to reimburse the Company for the
Reinsurer's share of any loss reinsured by this Agreement, the
payment of which has been agreed by the Reinsurer and which has
not been otherwise paid.
2. To make refund of any sum which is in excess of the actual amount
required to pay the Reinsurer's share of any liability reinsured
by this Agreement.
3. In the event of expiration of the Letter of Credit as provided for
above, to establish deposit of the Reinsurer's share of known and
reported outstanding losses and allocated expenses relating
thereto under this Agreement. Such cash deposit shall be held in
an interest bearing account separate from the Company's other
assets, and interest thereon shall accrue to the benefit of the
Reinsurer.
Page 7 of 11

D. The issuing bank shall have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with
the propriety of withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds
withdrawn, except to ensure that withdrawals are made only upon the order of
properly authorized representatives of the Company.
E. At annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed but never more frequently
than quarterly, the Company shall prepare a specific statement, for the sole
purpose of amending the Letter of Credit, of the Reinsurer's share of known and
reported outstanding losses and allocated expenses relating thereto, plus
reserves for losses incurred but not reported. If the statement shows that
Reinsurer's share of such losses and allocated loss expenses exceeds the balance
of credit as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within thirty (30) days
after receipt of notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an
amendment of the Letter of Credit increasing the amount of credit by the amount
of such difference. If, however, the statement shows that the Reinsurer's share
of known and reported outstanding losses plus allocated loss expenses relating
thereto, plus reserves for losses incurred but not reported is less than the
balance of credit as of the statement date, the Company shall, within thirty
(30) days after receipt of written request from the Reinsurer, release such
excess credit by agreeing to secure an amendment to the Letter of Credit
reducing the amount of credit available by the amount of such excess credit.
ARTICLE XIX.
SPECIAL FUNDING CLAUSE:
A. If, during the period of this Agreement and thereafter, as respects any
outstanding liabilities hereunder, the Reinsurer shall fail to pay any loss
payable hereunder within the time prescribed, the Reinsurer agrees that it will
fund uncollected paid losses and loss adjustment expenses within thirty (30)
days from the date of written demand by the Company to so fund. Such demand
shall not be made unless balances are sixty (60) days or more past the due date
of payment specified in this Agreement.
B. The Reinsurer shall have the sole option of determining the method of funding
referred to above, provided it is acceptable to the insurance regulatory
authorities involved. If the Reinsurer elects to fund the aforesaid loss by a
Letter of Credit, the procedures set forth in the Funding Article in respect of
Letters of Credit shall apply. If the Reinsurer has already funded obligations
hereunder in accordance with the Funding Article in this Agreement, it agrees
that such funds as are required to pay overdue losses may immediately be drawn
down by the Company.
C. The phrase "any loss payable" as used in paragraph A. above shall mean any
ultimate net loss subject to recovery under this Agreement wherein the Reinsurer
has not disputed said loss in writing within the due date for payment.
D. The Company will provide the Reinsurer with a reinsurance proof of loss and
such other substantive loss material reflecting the nature of the settlement
(i.e., applicable Proofs of Loss, Releases, adjuster's reports, etc.). If,
subsequent to receipt of this material, the information supplied is insufficient
or not in accordance with the contractual conditions, then the payment due date
as defined in the Reports and Remittances Article, will be deemed to be the date
upon which the Reinsurer received such additional substantive material necessary
to approve payment of the claim, or the date the claim is presented in a manner
acceptable to the Reinsurer.

ARTICLE XX.
ARBITRATION:
A. As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any dispute
arising out of the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement,
including the formation or validity thereof, shall be submitted for decision to
a panel of three arbitrators. Notice requesting arbitration will be in writing
and sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
B. One arbitrator shall be chosen by each party and the two arbitrators shall,
before instituting the hearing, choose an impartial third arbitrator who shall
preside at the hearing. If either party fails to appoint its arbitrator within
thirty (30) days after being requested to do so by the other party, the latter,
after ten (10) days notice by certified or registered mail of its intention to
do so, may appoint the second arbitrator.
C. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within
thirty (30) days of their appointment, the deficiency shall be supplied on the
application of the party requesting arbitration by an appointment made by the
American Arbitration Association. Notwithstanding the appointment of any third
Arbitrator by the American Arbitration Association, the arbitration proceedings
shall not be governed by the American Arbitration Association's commercial
arbitration rules.
D. All arbitrators shall be disinterested active or former executive officers of
insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd's, London.
E. Within thirty (30) days after notice of appointment of all arbitrators, the
panel shall meet and determine timely periods for briefs, discovery procedures
and schedules for hearings.
F. The panel shall be relieved of all judicial formality and shall not be bound
by the strict rules of procedure and evidence. Unless the panel agrees
otherwise, arbitration shall take place in Beverly Hills, California, but the
venue may be changed when deemed by the panel to be in the best interest of the
arbitration proceeding. Insofar as the arbitration panel looks to substantive
law, it shall consider the law of the State of California. The decision of any
two arbitrators when rendered in writing shall be final and binding. The panel
is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate.
G. The panel shall interpret this Agreement as if it were 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 within sixty (60) days following the termination of the hearings.
Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
H. 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. The
remaining costs of the arbitration shall be allocated by the panel. The panel
may, at its discretion, award such further costs and expenses as it considers
appropriate, including but not limited to attorneys fees, to the extent
permitted by law.

ARTICLE XXI.
SERVICE OF SUIT CLAUSE (U.S.A.):
A. It is agreed that in the event of the failure of the Reinsurer hereon to pay
any amount claimed to be due hereunder, the Reinsurer hereon, at the request of
the Company, will submit to the jurisdiction of a Court of competent
jurisdiction within the United States. 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,
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 or of any
State in the United States. It is further agreed that service of process in such
suit may be made upon Messrs. Mendes & Mount, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000,
Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, and that in any suit instituted, the Reinsurer will abide
by the final decision of such Court or of any Appellate Court in the event of an
appeal.
B. The above-named are authorized and directed to accept service of process on
behalf of the Reinsurer in any such suit and/or upon the request of the Company
to give written undertaking to the Company that they will enter a general
appearance upon the Reinsurer's behalf in the event such a suit shall be
instituted.
C. Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the
United States which makes provision therefor, the Reinsurer hereon hereby
designates 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 their true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served
any lawful process in action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of
the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Agreement, and
hereby designate the above-named as the person to whom the said officer is
authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.
ARTICLE XXII.
INSOLVENCY:
A. The portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the Reinsurer, when such
portion is ascertained, shall be payable on demand of the Company at the same
time as the Company shall pay its net retained portion of such risk or
obligation, with reasonable provision for verification before payment, and the
reinsurance shall be payable by the Reinsurer, on the basis of the liability of
the Company under the policy or policies reinsured without diminution because of
the insolvency of the Company.
B. In the event of the insolvency of one or more than one of the Companies,
reinsurance under this Agreement shall be payable immediately on demand, with
reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed against
the insolvent Company(ies) by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any
liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor of the Company(ies) having
authority to allow such claims, without diminution because of such insolvency or
because such liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor has failed to pay all
or a portion of any claims.
Page 10 of 11
11
Such payments by the Reinsurer shall be made directly to the Company or its
liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, except where the contract of
insurance or reinsurance provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event
of the insolvency of the Company(ies).
C. It is agreed, however, that the liquidator or receiver or statutory successor
of the insolvent Company(ies) will give written notice to the Reinsurer of the
pendency of a claim against the insolvent Company(ies) on the policy or policies
reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency
proceeding and that during the pendency of such claim the Reinsurer may
investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding
where such claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses which it may deem
available to the Company(ies) or its liquidator or receiver or statutory
successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer will be chargeable,
subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company(ies) as part of the
expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit
which may accrue to the Company(ies) solely as a result of the defense
undertaken by the Reinsurer.
D. 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 will be
apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though such
expense had been incurred by the insolvent Company(ies).
ARTICLE XXIII.
INTERMEDIARY:

the Intermediary negotiating this Agreement for all business hereunder. All

the Reinsurer through Xxxxxxx Incorporated Reinsurance Intermediaries, 000
Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000. Payments by the Company to the
Intermediary shall be deemed to constitute payment to the Reinsurer. Payments by
the Reinsurer to the Intermediary shall be deemed to constitute payment to the
Company only to the extent that such payments are actually received by the
Company.
ARTICLE XXIV.

the laws of the State of California, U.S.A.
