to any other INSURED for the purpose of determining the application of

elect to make such appeal at its own expense, and shall be liable for any
increased award, taxable costs and disbursements and any additional
interest incidental to such appeal, to the extent such payments are not
covered by other valid and collectible insurance.
5. ARBITRATION
(a) My dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
POLICY or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof shall be
finally and fully determined in London, England under the
provisions of the Arbitration Acts of 1950, 1975, 1979 and 1996,
and/or any statutory modifications or amendments thereto, for the
time being in force, by a Board composed of three arbitrators to be
selected for each controversy as follows:
Any party may, in the event of a dispute, controversy or
claim, notify the other party or parties to such dispute,
controversy or claim of its desire to arbitrate the matter,
and at the time of such notification the party desiring
arbitration shall notify the other party or parties of the
name of the arbitrator selected by it. The other party who
has been so notified shall within thirty (30) calendar days
thereafter select an arbitrator and notify the party desiring
arbitration of the name of such second arbitrator.
5
10
If the party notified of a desire for arbitration shall fail
or refuse to nominate the second arbitrator within thirty
(30) calendar days following the receipt of such
notification, the party who first served notice of a desire
to arbitrate will, within an additional period of thirty (30)
calendar days, apply to a judge of the High Court of Justice
of England and Wales for the appointment of a second
arbitrator and in such a case the arbitrator appointed by
such a judge shall be deemed to have been nominated by the
party or parties who failed to select the second arbitrator.
The two arbitrators, chosen as above provided, shall within
thirty (30) calendar days after the appointment of the second
arbitrator choose a third arbitrator. In the event of the
failure of the first two arbitrators to agree on a third
arbitrator within said thirty (30) calendar day period,
either of the parties may within a period of thirty (30)
calendar days thereafter, after notice to the other party or
parties, apply to a judge of the High Court of Justice of
England and Wales for the appointment of a third arbitrator
and in such case the person so appointed shall be deemed and
shall act as a third arbitrator. Upon acceptance of the
appointment by said third arbitrator, the Board of
Arbitration for the controversy in question shall then be
deemed fixed. All claims, demands, denials of claims and
notices pursuant to this Clause 5 shall be given in
accordance with Clause 16 below.
(b) The Board of Arbitration shall fix, by a notice in writing to the
parties involved, a reasonable time and place for the hearing and
may prescribe reasonable rules and regulations governing the course
and conduct of the arbitration proceeding, including, without
limitation, discovery by the parties.
(c) This POLICY, and any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of
or relating to this POLICY, shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, except insofar as such laws: (i) may prohibit payment
hereunder in respect of punitive damages; (ii) pertain to the
procurement, issuance, delivery, renewal, nonrenewal or
cancellation of policies of insurance or the regulation under New
York Insurance Law, or regulations issued by the Insurance
Department of the State of New York pursuant thereto, applying to
insurers doing insurance business within the State of New York or
as respects risks or insureds situated in the State of New York; or
(iii) are inconsistent with any provisions of this POLICY.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions,
stipulations, exclusions and conditions of this POLICY are to be
construed in an evenhanded fashion as between the parties. Without
limitation, where the language of this POLICY is deemed to be
ambiguous or otherwise unclear, the issue shall be resolved in the
manner most consistent with the relevant provisions, stipulations,
exclusions and conditions (without regard to authorship of the
language, without any presumption or arbitrary interpretation or
construction in favor of either the INSUREDS or the INSURER,
without reference to the "reasonable expectations" of either
thereof or to contra proferentem and without reference to parol or
other extrinsic evidence). To the extent that New York law is
inapplicable by virtue of any exception or proviso enumerated above
or otherwise, and as respects any arbitration procedure pursuant to
this Clause 5, the internal laws of England and Wales shall apply.
6
11
(d) The Board of Arbitration shall, within ninety (90) calendar days
following the conclusion of the hearing, render its decision on the
matter or matters in controversy in writing and shall cause a copy
thereof to be served on all the parties thereto, In case the Board
of Arbitration fails to reach a unanimous decision, the decision of
the majority of the members of said Board shall be deemed to be the
decision of the Board and the same shall be final and binding on
the parties thereto. Such decision shall be a complete defense to
any attempted appeal or litigation of such decision in the absence
of fraud or collusion. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties
waive any right to appeal, an/or seek collateral review of the
decision of the Board of Arbitration by any court or other body to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(e) Any order as to the costs of arbitration shall be in the sole
discretion of the Board of Arbitration, who may direct to whom and
by whom and in what manner the costs, shall be paid.
(f) The INSURER and the INSUREDS agree that in the event that claims
for indemnity or contribution are asserted in any action or
proceeding against the INSURER by any of the INSUREDS' other
insurers in any jurisdiction or forum other than that set forth in
this Clause 5, the INSUREDS will in good faith take all reasonable
steps requested by the INSURER to assist the INSURER in obtaining a
dismissal of these claims (other than on the merits) and will,
without limitation, undertake to the court or other tribunal to
reduce any judgment or award against such other insurers to the
extent that the court or tribunal determines that the INSURER would
have been liable to such insurers for indemnity or contribution
pursuant to this POLICY. The INSUREDS shall be entitled to assert
claims against the INSURER for coverage under this POLICY,
including, without limitation, for amounts by which the INSUREDS
reduced its judgment against such other insurers in respect of such
claims for indemnity or contribution, in an arbitration between the
INSURER and the INSUREDS pursuant to this Clause 5 which
arbitration may take place before, concurrently with and/or after
the action or proceeding involving such other insurers; provided,
however, that the INSURER in such arbitration in respect of such
reduction of any judgment shall be entitled to raise any defenses
under this POLICY and any other defenses (other than jurisdictional
defenses) as it would have been entitled to raise in the action or
proceeding with such insurers. No determination in any such action
or proceeding involving such other insurers shall have collateral
estoppel, res judicata or other issue preclusion or estoppel effect
against the INSURER in such arbitration, irrespective of whether or
not the INSURER remained a party to such action or proceeding.
6. ASSISTANCE AND COOPERATION
The INSURER has no duty to defend any CLAIM and shall not be called upon
to assume charge of the investigation; settlement or defense of any
CLAIM, but the INSURER shall have the right and shall be given the
opportunity to associate with the INSUREDS and the COMPANY in the
investigation,-settlement, defense and control of any CLAIM relative to
any WRONGFUL ACT where the CLAIM is or may be covered in whole or in part
by this POLICY. At all times, the INSUREDS and the COMPANY and the
INSURER shall cooperate in the investigation, settlement and defense of
such CLAIM. The failure of the COMPANY to assist and cooperate with the
INSURER shall not impair the rights of the INSUREDS under this POLICY.
The INSUREDS shall not settle or admit any liability with respect to any
CLAIM which involves or appears reasonably likely to involve this POLICY
without the INSURER'S consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7
12
7. AUTOMATIC EXTENSION
Except in the event this POLICY is cancelled in whole or in part in
accordance with Clause 8 (Cancellation) below, on each anniversary of
this POLICY, upon submission of the extension application and payment of
the charged premium, this POLICY shall automatically be continued to a
date one year beyond its previously stated expiration date, unless
written notice is given by the INSURER to the COMPANY, or by the COMPANY
to the INSURER, that such POLICY extension is not desired. Such written
notice may be given at any time prior to the anniversary of the POLICY,
except that such notice by the INSURER to the COMPANY may be given only
during the period commencing ninety (90) days and ending ten (10) days
prior to such anniversary, in which case the POLICY shall automatically
expire two years from such anniversary date. Such written notice shall be
given by the INSURER to the COMPANY only if it is determined to be
appropriate by the Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Vice President
for Underwriting and the Executive Vice-President for Claims of ACE
Limited.
If the COMPANY or the INSURER gives written notice that the POLICY
extension is not desired, the COMPANY shall pay on or before each of the
two remaining anniversary dates the charged premium for the next
succeeding POLICY YEAR, respectively, less a premium credit equal to the
premium paid for years two and three of the POLICY as specified in Item
IV of the Declarations Page. If any such premium credit exceeds the
charged premium, the INSURER shall refund to the COMPANY the difference
within ten days following such anniversary date. The premium charged on
each anniversary of this POLICY shall be determined by the rating plan
and by-laws of the INSURER in force at such anniversary date. If during
any POLICY YEAR the INSURER announces amendments to this standard policy
form which are generally applicable to all similar policies issued by the
INSURER, such amendments shall be applicable to this POLICY as of the
second anniversary following the POLICY YEAR in which the INSURER
announced such amendments.
8. CANCELLATION
This POLICY shall not be subject to cancellation except as follows:
(a) In the event during the POLICY PERIOD:
(1) the company named in Item I of the Declarations shall merge
into or consolidate with another organization in which the
company named in Item I of the Declarations is not the
surviving entity, or
(2) any person or entity or group of persons and/or entitles
acting in concert shall acquire securities or voting rights
which results in ownership or voting control by such person
or entity or group of persons or entities of more than 50% of
the outstanding securities representing the present right to
vote for election of directors or MANAGERS of the company
named in Item I of the Declarations
this POLICY shall remain in force until the later of:
(i) the third anniversary of such merger, consolidation or
acquisition if during the POLICY PERIOD the COMPANY or the
INSUREDS give notice to the INSURER of their desire to elect
such extension (no additional premium shall be required for
such extension),
(ii) any subsequent date to which the INSURER may agree by
endorsement, or
8
13
(iii) termination of the POLICY PERIOD,
but only with respect to CLAIMS for WRONGFUL ACTS actually or
allegedly taking place before the effective date of said merger,
consolidation or acquisition. If the POLICY remains in force beyond
the period of time stated in Item II of the Declarations by reason
of this Clause 8(a), the LIMIT OF LIABILITY for such extension is
part of and not in addition to the LIMIT OF LIABILITY to the
immediately preceding POLICY YEAR. All premiums paid or due at the
time of said merger, consolidation or acquisition shall be fully
earned and in no respect refundable.
(b) This POLICY may be cancelled by the INSURER upon granting of 365
days written notice, providing such cancellation is determined to
be appropriate by the Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Vice
President for Underwriting and the Executive Vice President for
Claims of ACE Limited. Payment or tender of any unearned premium by
the INSURER shall not be a condition precedent to the effectiveness
of cancellation, but return of the pro rata unearned premium shall
be made as soon as practicable.
(c) In the event the charged premium for any POLICY YEAR is not paid as
provided in Clause 7 (Automatic Extension), above, this POLICY
shall not apply to any WRONGFUL ACTS actually or allegedly taking
place after the anniversary date on which the additional premium
was due; however, this POLICY shall remain in force for the
remainder of the POLICY PERIOD as to CLAIMS first made during the
POLICY PERIOD for WRONGFUL ACTS actually or allegedly caused,
committed or attempted prior to such anniversary date. With respect
to all CLAIMS first made after such anniversary date, one LIMIT OF
LIABILITY shall apply for the remainder of the POLICY PERIOD. Such
LIMIT OF LIABILITY shall be separate from the LIMIT OF LIABILITY
provided during the POLICY YEAR immediately preceding such
anniversary date. All premiums paid as of such anniversary date
shall be fully earned and in no respect refundable.
9. CHANGES AND ASSIGNMENTS
The terms and conditions of this POLICY shall not be waived or changed,
nor shall an assignment of interest under this POLICY be binding, except
by an endorsement to this POLICY issued by the INSURER.
10. ADVANCEMENT OF DEFENSE COSTS
Except in those instances when the INSURER has denied liability for the
CLAIM because of the application of one or more exclusions, or other
coverage issues, if the COMPANY refuses or is financially unable to
advance DEFENSE COSTS, the INSURER shall, upon request and if proper
documentation accompanies the request, advance on behalf of the INSUREDS,
or any of them, DEFENSE COSTS that they have incurred in connection with
a CLAIM, prior to disposition of such CLAIM. In the event that the
INSURER so advances DEFENSE COSTS and it is finally established that the
INSURER has no liability hereunder, such INSUREDS on whose behalf
advances have been made and the COMPANY, to the full extent legally
permitted, agree to repay to the INSURER, upon demand, all monies
advanced.
11. CURRENCY
All premium, limits, retentions, LOSS and other amounts under this POLICY
are expressed and payable in the currency of the United States of
America.

any one INSURED shall be imputed to any other INSURED for the
purpose of determining the availability of coverage with respect to

such CLAIM shall be treated for purposes of this POLICY as LOSS which the
INSURED becomes legally obligated to pay by reason of the CLAIM made
against the INSURED. Such spousal loss shall be covered under the POLICY
only if and to the extent such loss would be covered if incurred by the
INSURED.
The coverage extension afforded by this Clause 19 does not apply to the
extent such CLAIM alleges a wrongful act or omission by the INSURED's
spouse.

subrogated to the extent of such payment to all the INSUREDS' rights of
recovery, and the INSUREDS shall execute all papers reasonably required

of indemnity due and owing to the INSUREDS by the COMPANY.

additional premium required by the INSURER is paid within thirty
(30) days of the request therefor by the INSURER. The INSURER
waives the obligation to provide notice and to pay any additional
premium if the assets of such newly created or acquired company are
not more than 15% of the total assets of the COMPANY or
$500,000,000, whichever is less. The coverage provided for the
INSUREDS of such new subsidiary shall be limited to CLAIMS for
WRONGFUL ACTS actually or allegedly taking place subsequent to the
date of acquisition or creation of the subsidiary.
(b) Coverage shall not apply to directors, MANAGERS, officers and
employees of any subsidiary, including a SUBSIDIARY as defined in
Clause 2 (Definitions) above, for CLAIMS for WRONGFUL ACTS actually
or allegedly taking place subsequent to the date that the COMPANY
and/or one or more of its SUBSIDIARIES, directly or indirectly, in
any combination, ceases to own more than 50% of the outstanding
securities representing the present right to vote for election of
directors or MANAGERS in such subsidiary.

apply in such proceeding to this POLICY or its proceeds under such
Bankruptcy Code or law, and (ii) agree not to oppose or object to any
efforts by the INSURER, the COMPANY or any INSURED to obtain relief from
any such stay or injunction.

States Bankruptcy Code or an equivalent status under the law of any other
country and the aggregate LOSS due under this POLICY exceeds the
remaining available LIMIT OF LIABILITY, the INSURER shall:
(a) first pay such LOSS allocable to WRONGFUL ACTS that are actually or
allegedly caused, committed, or attempted prior to the COMPANY
becoming a debtor in possession, then
(b) with respect to whatever remaining amount of the LIMIT OF LIABILITY
is available after payment under (a) above, pay such LOSS allocable
to WRONGFUL ACTS that are actually or alleged caused, committed, or
attempted after the COMPANY became a debtor in possession.
