Addendum E when PPG supplies FHS with evidence that it has unsuccessfully

not limited to, non-payment by FHS, insolvency of FHS, or breach of this
Agreement, shall PPG bill, charge, collect a deposit from, seek compensation,
remuneration, or reimbursement from, or have any recourse against Members, the

amount paid to PPG from other sources, equals the amount due to PPG under this

occur under this Section shall be deemed to be transferred from PPG to FHS if
PPG has been paid in full according to the primary carrier’s contracted rate.

of the third party insurance carrier and proposed effective date, coverage
levels and charges. In such event, PPG shall be required to obtain stop loss
