and 90% of any Loss in Excess of Original Policy Limits awards, as defined in 7. and 8. below, on its net retained liability (including any deductible or self-insured retention for which the original insured is liable) after making deductions for
all recoveries and salvages actually recovered or received and all claims on inuring reinsurance, whether collectible or not. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Agreement are not recoverable until the Company’s
Ultimate Net Loss has been ascertained. It is understood that salvages and/or recoveries received by the Company subsequent to a loss settlement hereunder, shall be applied as if received prior to the settlement, and all necessary adjustments shall
be effected by the parties hereto. 

  
 All office
expenses of the Company and all salaries and expenses of its officials and employees shall be excluded under this Agreement except for the pro-rata share of the salaries and expenses of the Company’s field employees according to the time
occupied adjusting a loss subject hereunder and expenses of the Company’s officials incurred in connection with such loss. All other expenses including taxes, court costs and interest on judgments, incurred in investigation, adjustment and
litigation shall be included in the Ultimate Net Loss, and within the reinsurance limit hereunder.

causative incident shall be considered a loss occurrence. 

  
 Occupational disease shall also be deemed to be a loss occurrence for the purposes of this Agreement, and each case of one employee of one insured contracting a disease by which the Company may be held liable shall be
considered as constituting a separate and distinct loss occurrence. A loss from such occupational disease shall be deemed to have occurred at the first date when compensable disability of the employee commenced; or if the loss is compensable without
disability, when compensability commenced, or if such dates cannot be determined, shall be deemed to have occurred on the last date of employment of said employee. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, occupational disease that is traceable to a sudden and accidental
loss event which does not exceed 72 hours in duration and which involves traumatic injury or death, shall also be deemed to be a loss occurrence for the purposes of this Agreement, and all employees involved in such an event shall constitute a
single loss occurrence, regardless of the number of interests insured or the number of policies

involved. The date of loss of such occurrence will be the date of commencement of the loss event. 
  

	 	5.	“Gross Net Written Premium Income”, wherever used herein, means the gross premium written by the Company in respect of Captive/Rent-a-Captive Programmes and Large

	 	7.	“Extra Contractual Obligations”, wherever used herein, means those liabilities incurred by the Company, other than Loss in Excess of Original Policy Limits, which arise

in handling a claim under a policy of the Company. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to be covered under the policy. 

  
 However, this provision shall not apply to any extra contractual obligation
incurred by the Company as a result of any fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director of the Company acting individually or collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other organisation or party involved in
the presentation, defence or settlement of any claim covered hereunder. 
  

	 	8.	“Loss in Excess of Original Policy Limits”, wherever used herein, means those liabilities incurred by the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the
terms of its policy, which arise from the handling of any claim on business covered hereunder as a result of an action against the Company by its insured or its insured’s assignee to recover damages the insured is legally obligated to pay to a
third party claimant because of the Company’s alleged or actual negligence or bad faith in rejecting a settlement within policy limits, or in discharging its duty to defend or prepare the defence in the trial of an action against its insured,
or in discharging its duty to prepare or prosecute an appeal consequent upon such an action. 

  
 However, this provision shall not apply to any loss in excess of original policy limits incurred by the Company as a result of any fraudulent and/or
criminal act by any officer or director of the Company acting individually or collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other organisation or party involved in the presentation, defence or settlement of any claim covered
hereunder.

 ARTICLE 6 
  
 NET RETAINED LINES 
  
 This Agreement applies only to that portion of any policy which the Company retains net for its own account and in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder and in
computing the amount or amounts in excess of which this Agreement attaches, only loss or losses in respect of that portion of any policy which the Company retains net for its own account shall be included. However, it is understood and agreed that,
in respect of losses recoverable under Part 3 hereof only, the foregoing provision shall separately apply to the liability of each individual programme covered. 
  

The amount of Reinsurers’ liability hereunder in respect of any loss or losses shall not be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from
any other Reinsurer(s), whether specific or general, any amounts which may have become due from such Reinsurer(s), whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other Reinsurer(s) or otherwise. 
  
 ARTICLE 7 
  
 LIMIT AND RETENTION 
  
 Part 1 
  
 Reinsurers shall not be liable for any loss hereunder until the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss exceeds the original deductible/self
insured retention of an individual Programme covered hereunder each Loss Occurrence (the “deductible”). Reinsurers shall then be liable for the difference between the Company’s Ultimate Net Loss and the deductible, subject to a
maximum liability equal to the difference between $5,000,000 Ultimate Net Loss each loss occurrence each programme and the deductible. However, Reinsurers’ maximum liability hereunder shall not exceed $4,750,000 in the aggregate for the period
of this Agreement in respect of acts of terrorism. 
  
 Part 2 

 
 Reinsurers shall not be liable for any loss hereunder until the Company’s Ultimate
Net Loss exceeds $5,000,000 each Loss Occurrence each programme and then Reinsurers shall be liable for the amount of Ultimate Net Loss in excess of $5,000,000 with a limit of liability to Reinsurers of $5,000,000 Ultimate Net Loss each Loss
Occurrence each programme. However, Reinsurers’ maximum liability hereunder shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the period of this Agreement in respect of acts of terrorism. 
  
 The Company agrees that, whenever the terms and conditions of the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Act of 2002 permit, they will apply for recoveries from the Act rather than from this Section. 
  
 Part 3 
  
 To pay up to $2,000,000
Ultimate Net Loss in the aggregate per annum for each individual Programme covered hereunder in excess of the attachment point of the aggregate cover granted by the Company to each individual Programme covered hereunder, in excess of the attachment
point of the aggregate cover granted by the Company to each individual programme covered hereunder, but in no event less than 135% of the “Loss Pick” of each individual programme covered hereunder, plus USD 100,000 in the aggregate per
annum retained by the Company. 
  
 In the event that the full $2,000,000 aggregate
limit available hereunder is taken up under any individual programme, the rates applicable to the top USD 1,000,000 of aggregate cover shall be 100% of the rates applicable to the first USD 1,000,000 of aggregate cover for that programme (ie rates
per 

  

 6 









 

 
  

 
table A minus Table C of the attached rating schedules) and the attachment point of the aggregate cover will not be less than 150% of the “Loss
Pick” for that individual programme, (plus USD 100,000 in the aggregate per annum retained by the Company. 
  
 Losses recoverable under Part 1 and Part 2 above shall be deducted in calculating the Ultimate Net Loss applicable to Part 3. 
  
 References above to “each programme” apply to Captive/Rent-a-Captive business and
are applied on an “each policy” basis in respect of Large Deductible business. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
  
 NOTICE OF LOSS
AND LOSS SETTLEMENTS 
  
 The Company will advise Reinsurers promptly of
all claims or occurrences which, in the opinion of the Company, may involve Reinsurers and of all subsequent developments on these claims which may materially affect the position of Reinsurers. 
  
 Upon receipt by Reinsurers of satisfactory proof of evidence of payment of loss by the
Company, Reinsurers shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of loss due under the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 Reinsurers agree to abide by the loss settlements of the Company, provided that they are within the terms and conditions of the original policies (other than as provided
for in the Extra Contractual Obligations and Loss in Excess of Original Policy Limits definitions) and within the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 9 
  
 PREMIUM 
  
 As soon as possible after the end of each quarter, the Company will prepare an account summarising the various premiums due to Reinsurers arising out of business transacted under the Programmes subject to this
Agreement. Such accounts will detail the premium due in respect of each individual Programme covered and identify the period of each Programme, so as to allow the correct allocation of premiums to the different contract years of this Agreement. In
the event that no premium is transacted during a quarter, the Company will advise Reinsurers accordingly. Otherwise, payment of the premiums due will accompany the statement. 
  
 Premiums due hereunder shall be calculated at the rates determined by the Company for each Programme, applied to the Gross Net Written
Premium Income of each Programme, but subject to the minimum rates detailed in the rating schedules attached hereto, which form an integral part of this Agreement. 
  
 Rates for Large Deductible business to be applied to standard premiums after application of the experience modification and schedule rating
factors but before application of the deductible factor and to be taken from Table A of the Rating Schedules attached. 
  

 7 









 

 
  

 The proportion of reinsurance premium applicable to Part 2 of Article 7 shall be determined in accordance with the
following factors applied to the total reinsurance premiums: 
  
 When the original
deductible/ self-insured retention is: 
  

				
	 USD 200,000
	  	n/a	 
	 USD 250,000
	  	14.04	%

	  	20.62	%

  
 ARTICLE 10

  
 COMMUTATION 
  
 Within three months following 84 months after the end of the period of this Agreement, the
Company will submit to Reinsurers a statement listing all amounts paid and reserved in respect of losses that occurred under Captive/Rent-a-Captive Programmes and Large Deductible Risks that attached during the period of this Agreement and are
subject to this Agreement. This statement will form the basis of a final agreed value for all such losses but the amounts of the reserves contained therein will be subject to one of the following alternatives to determine their final agreed value:

  

	A	A calculation based on the following criteria: 

  

	 	1	In respect of all “index linked” benefits, annuity values will be calculated based on an annual discount of 0% and an annual escalation of 0%. 

  

	 	2	In respect of all un-indexed benefits, annuity values will be calculated based on an annual discount of 4%. 

  

	 	3	In respect of all future medical costs, annuity calculations will be based on the Company’s evaluation of long-term care and rehabilitation requirements, using an annual
discount of 0% and an annual escalation of 0%. 

  

	 	4	Where applicable, impaired life expectancy, survivors’ life expectancy and re-marriage probability will be reflected in the calculation by employing tables recommended by a
mutually acceptable actuarial consultant. 

  

	B	Any other method of calculating the agreed value of one or more losses, as mutually agreed between the Company and Reinsurers. 

  
 The results of such calculations shall constitute the full and final agreed value of all
losses that occurred during the period of this Agreement and are subject to this Agreement. The resulting amounts, after application of the Limit and Retention of this Agreement, shall be accepted by the Company as full and final settlement of
Reinsurers’ liability, both known and unknown, under this Agreement, whether involving a payment by Reinsurers or not. Upon payment of the amount, if any, shown to be due by Reinsurers to the Company, the Company shall grant Reinsurers full and
final release of all liabilities hereunder. 
  
 However, if after following the
above procedures, the Company and Reinsurers are unable to agree on the final value of the reserves of one or more losses, such differences shall be referred to a panel of three actuaries, one to be chosen by each of the parties to this Agreement
and the third to be appointed by the two so chosen. If either party refuses or fails to appoint an actuary within 30 days of being requested to do so in writing by the other party, the other party shall appoint two actuaries. If the two 

  

 8 









 

 
  

 
actuaries fail to agree on the appointment of the third actuary within 30 days of their appointment, each of them shall name two, of whom the other shall
decline one, and the decision shall be made by drawing lots. All actuaries selected by drawing lots shall be:

Dollars. 
  
 ARTICLE 12 
  
 SUBROGATION 
  
 The Company will credit Reinsurers with any reimbursement obtained or recovery made by the Company, less the actual costs (excluding
salaries of permanent officials and employees of the Company) of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery, on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. 
  
 The Company agrees to enforce its rights to salvage or subrogation relating to any loss, a
part of which was sustained by Reinsurers, and to prosecute all claims arising out of such rights. 
  
 Amounts recovered from subrogation will always be used to reimburse the excess reinsurers in the reverse order of their participation in the loss before being used in any way to reimburse the Company for its primary
loss. If the amount recovered exceeds the recovery expense, the recovery expense will be borne by each party in proportion to its benefit from the recovery. If the recovery expense exceeds the amount recovered, the amount recovered (if any) will be
applied to the reimbursement of recovery expense and the remaining expense as well as any originally incurred loss expense will be borne by each party in proportion to its liability for the loss before recovery was attempted. 
  
 ARTICLE 13

 9 









 

 
  

 If domiciled outside of the United States of America and if not legally exempted from Federal Excise Tax, Reinsurers
have agreed to allow for the purposes of paying the Federal Excise Tax the applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon to the extent such premium is subject to Federal Excise Tax, 
  
 In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder Reinsurers will deduct the applicable percentage from the amount of the return
and the Company or its agent should take steps to recover the tax from the U.S. Government. 
  
 ARTICLE 14 
  
 DELAYS, ERRORS
AND OMISSIONS 
  
 Inadvertent delays, errors and omissions made in
connection with this Agreement shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached had such delay, error or omission not occurred, provided always that such error or omission be rectified as soon as possible after its
discovery. 
  
 ARTICLE 15 
  
 ACCESS TO RECORDS 
  
 Reinsurers or their designated representatives shall have free access at any reasonable time
to all books and records of the Company which pertain in any way to this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 16 
  
 RESERVES

  
 This Article applies only to those Reinsurers, signatory hereto, who
do not qualify for credit under the regulations of the state insurance authorities or departments which have jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves. 
  
 The Company agrees that when, for its Annual Convention Statement purposes, it files with the authorities or departments mentioned above or sets up in its books statutory
reserves, it shall forward to Reinsurers a clear statement of Reinsurers’ proportion of such reserves detailing all the amounts involved. Such reserves shall consist of a) the unearned premium under this Agreement and b) Reinsurance Recoverable
(Case and Bulk Reserves), as set forth on Schedule F of the Annual Statement. 
  
 Reinsurers, promptly upon receipt of the Company’s statement, shall apply for and secure delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to their proportion of the stated reserves.

  
 All Letters of Credit procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued by a
bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve and shall be in full conformity with the requirements of the authorities or departments mentioned in the first paragraph of this Article current at the date of the Company’s statement. Further, they
shall be “Evergreen” in that they shall be issued for an initial period of not less than one year and shall be automatically extended for one year from their original expiration dates and subsequently from their extended expiration dates
unless and until, at least thirty days before any expiration date, the issuing bank gives notice to the Company by registered mail that the issuing bank elects not to extend the life of the Letter of Credit in question beyond its forthcoming
expiration date. 
  

 10 









 

 
  

 In consideration of the agreement of Reinsurers to furnish such Letters of Credit to the Company to enable it to
obtain credit for the reinsurance provided under this Agreement, the Company hereby undertakes to hold such Letters of Credit and the proceeds of any drawings made upon them in trust for the following purposes only:- 
  

	(a)	To pay Reinsurers’ share or to reimburse the Company for that share of any liability for loss or allocated loss expense reinsured by this Agreement; 


 

	(b)	To refund to Reinsurers any balance by which the amount of the Letter of Credit exceeds Reinsurers’ proportion of any liability for unearned premium, loss or allocated loss
expense reinsured by this Agreement. 

  

	(c)	In the event that one or more of the Reinsurers gives timely notice of cancellation or non-renewal of their participation in the Letter of Credit and provided that the obligations
secured by the Letter of Credit remain unliquidated and undischarged at the time of receipt by the Company of such notice, the Company shall have the option to create a Cash Deposit Account, separate from its own assets, in an amount equal to the
participation of the cancelling or non-renewing Reinsurer(s) in the Letter of Credit. That Cash Deposit Account may then be used as in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above. It is understood and agreed that this procedure may only be
implemented before the expiry of the notice period in respect of cancellation or non-renewal and that if it is implemented, the Company will ensure that a rate of interest is obtained for Reinsurers on such a Cash Deposit Account that is at least
equal to the rate which will be paid by Citibank N.A. in New York, and further that the Company will account to Reinsurers on an annual basis for all interests accruing on the Cash Deposit Account to the benefit of Reinsurers.


  
 The issuing bank shall have no responsibility whatsoever in
connection with the propriety of drawings made by the Company on the Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement or in connection with the disposition of any funds so withdrawn, except to ensure that drawings are made only upon the order of
properly authorised representatives of the Company. 
  
 All Letters of Credit
procured for the Company under this Agreement shall be adjusted at annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed (but never more frequently than quarterly), to reflect the current balance of Reinsurers’ proportion of the Company’s
reserves and the Company shall produce a statement for this purpose detailed in the same way as the original statement on the basis of which such Letters of Credit were first issued. If the statement shows that Reinsurers’ proportion of such
reserves exceeds the current amount of the Letters of Credit, Reinsurers shall, within thirty days after receipt of the statement, secure the amendment of the Letters of Credit increasing their amount to the amount of the current balance of these
items. If, however, the statement shows that Reinsurers’ proportion of the current balance of those items is less than the amount of the Letters of Credit, the Company shall, within thirty days of receipt of a written request from Reinsurers to
do so, facilitate the release of the excessive security by authorising the amendment of the Letters of Credit so as to reduce their amount to the current balance required. 
  
 ARTICLE 17 
  
 INSOLVENCY 
  
 In the event of the insolvency of the Company, reinsurance under this Agreement shall be payable by Reinsurers immediately upon demand, with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of the
Company under policy or policies reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the Company to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, except as provided by Section 4118 (A) of the New York Insurance
Law or except where the Agreement specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Company 

  

 11 









 

 
  

 
and where Reinsurers with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations of
Reinsurers to the payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees. 
  
 The liquidator or receiver or statutory successor of the Company shall give written notice to Reinsurers of the pendency of a claim against the Company 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 Reinsurers may investigate such claim and interpose, at their own expense, in the proceeding where such
claim is to be adjudicated any defense or defenses which they may deem available to the Company or its liquidator or receiver or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by Reinsurers shall be chargeable, subject to court approval, against the
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 Reinsurers. 
  
 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 this Agreement as though such expense had been incurred by the insolvent Company. 
  
 Should the Company go into liquidation or should a receiver be appointed Reinsurers shall be entitled to deduct from any sums which may be
due or may become due to the Company under this Agreement, any sums which are due to Reinsurers by the Company under this Agreement and which are payable at a fixed or stated date, as well as any other sums to Reinsurers which are permitted to be
offset under applicable law. 
  
 In the event of the insolvency of any company or
companies becoming included in the designation of “Company”, this Article will apply only to the insolvent company or companies. 
  
 ARTICLE 18 
  
 INSOLVENCY CUT THROUGH 
  

	1.	If, due to the insolvency of Company, the Company fails to pay the full amount of damages payable by the Company on behalf of the Insured to which the policy applies, Reinsurers
will pay, directly on behalf of the Insured, the amount of loss that Reinsurers would otherwise be obligated to pay to the Company for that claim, in the absence of the insolvency of the Company, under the Reinsurance Agreement between the Company
and Reinsurers hereinafter referred to as “Reinsurance Agreement”. 

  

	2.	Any payment under this Article to the Reinsurance Agreement is subject to and requires the prior approval of the liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, conservator or court of

	3.	Any payment made by Reinsurers under this Clause shall relieve Reinsurers of liability to the Company (or its successor in interest including and liquidator, rehabilitator,
receiver, conservator or court of competent jurisdiction) under the Reinsurance Agreement to the extent of such payment. In no event shall Reinsurers be subject to duplicate liability. 

  

	4.	To the extent that Reinsurers may be required to make any payment under this Article, they shall automatically be subrogated to the rights of the original insured and the Company,
as their interest may appear. 

  

	5.	Reinsurers shall have the right, but shall have no obligation or duty to defend the Insured and/or to investigate the settlement of any claim, suit or case to which this Article
applies. 

  
 It is understood and agreed that, for the purpose of
this Article, Reinsurers means Certain Underwriting Members of Lloyd’s of London and/or other insurance carriers with an A.M. Best rating of A- or herein.

 ARTICLE 19 
  
 OFFSET

or on account of losses or otherwise, due from one party to the other under the terms of this Agreement. However, in the event of the insolvency of any party hereto, offset shall only be allowed in accordance with the statutes and/or regulations of
the state having jurisdiction over the insolvency. 
  
 ARTICLE 20 
  
 GOVERNING LAW 
  
 This Agreement shall be governed as to performance, administration and interpretation by the
laws of the State of Pennsylvania, exclusive of the rules with respect to conflicts of law, except as to rules with respect to credit for reinsurance in which case the applicable rules of all states shall apply. 
  
 ARTICLE 21 
  
 ARBITRATION 
  
 As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, any dispute arising out of the interpretation, performance or breach of this
Agreement, including its formation and validity, 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. 
  
 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. 
  
 If the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, the third arbitrator shall be selected from a list
of six individuals (three named by each arbitrator) by a judge of the federal district court having jurisdiction over the geographical area in which the arbitration is to take place, or if the federal court declines to act, the state court having
general jurisdiction in such area. 
  
 All arbitrators shall be disinterested,
active or former executive officers of insurance or reinsurance companies or Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London. 
  
 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. 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 Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania. The decision of any two
arbitrators when rendered in writing shall be final and binding upon all parties to the arbitration. The panel is empowered to grant interim relief as it may deem appropriate. 
  
 The panel shall interpret this Agreement as an honourable 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 following the termination of the hearings. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

 

 13 









 

 
  

 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. 
  
 If more than one Reinsurer is involved in arbitration where there are common questions of law
of fact and possibility of conflicting awards or inconsistent results, all such Reinsurers shall constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made by the Company to each of the Reinsurers constituting the
one party; provided however, that nothing herein shall impair the rights of such Reinsurers to assert several, rather than joint defences or claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of Reinsurers under the terms of this Agreement from
several to joint. 
  
 ARTICLE 22 
  
 SERVICE OF SUIT 
  
 It is agreed that in the event of the failure of Reinsurers hereon to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, Reinsurers 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 Reinsurers’ right 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 Mendes and Mount, 750 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019-6829 and that in any suit instituted against any one of them upon this agreement, Reinsurers will abide by the
final decision of such Court or of any Appellate in the event of an appeal. 
  
 The above-named are authorised and directed to accept service of process on behalf of Reinsurers in any such suit and/or upon the request of the Company to give a written undertaking to the Company that they will enter a general appearance
upon Reinsurers’ behalf in the event such a suit shall be instituted. 
  
 Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States which makes provision therefor, Reinsurers hereon 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 their 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 out of this agreement or reinsurance, and hereby designate the above-named as the person to whom the said officer is authorised to mail such process or a true copy thereof. 
  
 ARTICLE 23

 ARTICLE 24 
  
 SEVERABILITY
