which it is prohibited from paying by law (as determined by a court or administrative tribunal of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable), then such amount shall be deemed to have been an advance of Costs by the
Corporation to you and upon written request by the Corporation, you shall repay such amounts to the Corporation. For greater certainty, it is acknowledged that the Corporation shall advance Costs to you or on your behalf in connection with an
Indemnified Claim prior to the resolution of the merits of any action, provided that if a court or administrative tribunal of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable determines that you do not fulfill either of the
