C.
If this Agreement shall terminate while a Loss Occurrence covered hereunder is in progress, it is agreed that, subject to the other conditions of this Agreement, the Reinsurer shall indemnify the Company as if the entire Loss Occurrence had occurred during the time this Agreement is in force provided such Loss Occurrence covered hereunder started before the date of termination.

Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 15 business days after the proof of loss or demand for payment is received by the Reinsurer. If such loss or claim payment is not received within the 15 business days, interest will accrue on the payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B of this Article, from the date the proof of loss or demand for payment was received by the Reinsurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reinsurer finds the information contained in the Company's demand for payment is insufficient or not in accordance with the conditions of this Agreement, then it may request from the Company, on or before the due date set forth in this subparagraph 2, all additional information necessary to validate its claim. In such case, the payment due date set forth in this paragraph shall be deemed to be 15 business days after the Reinsurer has received the requested additional information.

2.
As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of this paragraph, the due date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Agreement. In the event a due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 business days following receipt by the debtor party of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been invoked.

D.
For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid upon receipt by the party to which such debt is owed.

E.
Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting the Reinsurer from contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or suit, or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from initiating any dispute resolution proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this agreement. If the debtor party prevails

in such proceeding, then any interest penalties due hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the debtor party loses in such proceeding, then the interest penalty on the amount determined to be due hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless otherwise determined by such proceeding. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it is contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the other party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.


ARTICLE XII - 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.

The remaining reinsurance premium shall be ceded to the Reinsurer.

C.
In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder, the Reinsurer will deduct the applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon, and cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Company to pursue recovery of such withholding from the United States Government.


ARTICLE XVI - 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.

ARTICLE XVIII - INSOLVENCY

A.
In the event of insolvency of the Company, the reinsurance provided by this Agreement shall be payable by the Reinsurer on the basis of the liability of the Company as respects Policies covered hereunder, without diminution because of such insolvency, directly to the Company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor except as provided in Sections 4118(a)(1)(A) and 1114(c) of the New York Insurance Law or as otherwise provided under applicable law, statute or regulation.

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.

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.

ARTICLE XXI- INTERNATIONAL TRADE CONTROLS
