2.   Enforcement of Rights and Remedies; Monetary Recoveries.
  (a)   If the Insurer or the Contingent LPIC Insurer makes a payment pursuant to the Policy or the Contingent Policy, as the case may be, in connection with a Covered Loan or a Covered Policy, then the Company will and will cause each other Imperial Party to use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce all remedies available to the Company or any such Imperial Party under the terms of each guaranty, if any, delivered by or on behalf of a Retail Borrower pursuant to the terms of such Covered Loan (any such amount paid by the Insurer under the Policy in connection with a Covered Loan or Covered Policy being, a “Reimbursable Loss”). In connection with the enforcement of any such guaranty, the Company or any other Imperial Party shall be entitled to settle any enforcement actions on terms and provisions that it considers reasonable under the circumstances and may decline to pursue enforcement actions in the event it considers enforcement imprudent under the circumstances; provided that prior to settling or declining to pursue any such enforcement action, such Imperial Party shall consult with the Insurer (prior to the occurrence of a Credit Event) or the Contingent Insurer (following the occurrence of a Credit Event) regarding its proposed course of action. Within seven (7) Business Days of receipt by any Imperial Party of any monetary recovery relating to any such guaranty, the Company will pay any such amount to the LPIC Insurer that made the related payment pursuant to the Policy or the Contingent Policy, as the case may be, less any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company or an Affiliate in enforcing any such guaranty, with the aggregate amount of any such payments to the relevant LPIC Insurer relating to any Covered Loan not to exceed the amount of the Reimbursable Loss associated with such Covered Loan.
 
  (b)   If either LPIC Insurer (i) pays a loss to the Insured pursuant to Section I of the Policy in connection with a Covered Loan and (ii) notifies the Insured in writing, pursuant to Section IV.F.(2) of the Policy, that the Insurer is not requiring transfer of ownership of the related Covered Policy or the Beneficial Interest in the related Trust but is requiring the cooperation of the Insured and the Collateral Agent with regard to such Covered Policy and, if applicable, the Beneficial Interest in the related Trust, then the Company will cause (A) the Insured to take all commercially reasonable and lawful actions requested by the paying LPIC Insurer in connection with Section IV.F.(2) of the Policy and (B) the Insured to (I) instruct the Collateral Agent (or any back-up servicing agent, if applicable) to maintain full rights in such Covered Policy or such Beneficial Interest in the related Trust to the extent required by Section IV.F.(2) of the Policy and to take all commercially reasonable and lawful actions requested by the Insured (which requests of the Insured shall match the instructions received by the Insured from the paying LPIC Insurer with respect to the actions to be taken by the Collateral Agent (or any back-up servicing agent, if applicable)) in connection with Section IV.F.(2) of the Policy, and (II) enforce all rights and remedies available to the Insured should the Collateral Agent (or any back-up servicing agent, if applicable) fail to comply with such instructions.

The indemnification available to any Indemnified Party under this Section 3 shall not be reduced in any way by any LPIC Premium or Contingent LPIC Premium receivable by the Insurer or the Contingent LPIC Insurer pursuant to the Policy or the Contingent Policy, as the case may be. The Company shall remit payment with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Section 3 within 15 Business Days of notice thereof by an Indemnified Party. The indemnification provided by this Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Letter Agreement.
 
  (b)   If for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section 3 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

    The Party-appointed arbitrators may consult, in confidence, with the Party who appointed them concerning the appointment of the umpire. Where the two Party-appointed arbitrators have failed to reach agreement on an umpire within the time specified in paragraph (2) immediately above, each Party shall propose to the other in writing, within 7 days thereafter, eight umpire candidates from the ARIAS U.S. Certified Arbitrators List in effect at the time of the commencement of the arbitration. The umpire will then be selected in accordance with 6.7(b)-(e) of the Procedures. (Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the ARIAS U.S. Umpire Questionnaire Form in effect at the time of the commencement of the arbitration shall be used).
    The arbitration shall take place in New York, New York. Unless prohibited by law, the Supreme Court of the State and County of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any and all court proceedings that either Party may initiate in connection with the arbitration, including proceedings to compel, stay, or enjoin arbitration or to confirm, vacate, modify, or correct an Arbitration Award.
    The arbitration award shall not include attorneys’ fees or other costs. Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitration activities, including its appointed arbitrator and its outside attorney or witness fees, and the parties shall equally bear the expense of the umpire and the common expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

    In the event of any conflict between the Procedures and this Section 8, this Section 8, and not the Procedures, will control. This Section 8 shall survive termination of this Letter Agreement.

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE
NOTICE OF TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE
(APPLICABLE TO CERTIFIED AND NON-CERTIFIED ACTS)
                                        Insurance Act, as amended, that you have a right to purchase insurance coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism, as defined in Section 102(1) of the Act: The term “act of terrorism” means any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury—in concurrence with the Secretary of State, and the Attorney General of the United States—to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of certain air carriers or vessels or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WHERE COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BY THIS POLICY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM, SUCH LOSSES MAY BE PARTIALLY REIMBURSED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT UNDER A FORMULA ESTABLISHED BY FEDERAL LAW. HOWEVER, YOUR POLICY MAY CONTAIN OTHER EXCLUSIONS WHICH MIGHT AFFECT YOUR COVERAGE, SUCH AS AN EXCLUSION FOR NUCLEAR EVENTS. UNDER THE FORMULA, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT GENERALLY REIMBURSES 85% OF COVERED TERRORISM LOSSES EXCEEDING THE STATUTORILY ESTABLISHED DEDUCTIBLE PAID BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDING THE COVERAGE. THE PREMIUM CHARGED FOR THIS COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BELOW AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CHARGES FOR THE PORTION OF LOSS THAT MAY BE COVERED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER THE ACT.
YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT, AS AMENDED, CONTAINS A $100 BILLION CAP THAT LIMITS U.S. GOVERNMENT REIMBURSEMENT AS WELL AS INSURERS’ LIABILITY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM WHEN THE AMOUNT OF SUCH LOSSES IN ANY ONE CALENDAR YEAR EXCEEDS $100 BILLION. IF THE AGGREGATE INSURED LOSSES FOR ALL INSURERS EXCEED $100 BILLION, YOUR COVERAGE MAY BE REDUCED.
Acceptance or Rejection of Terrorism Insurance Coverage

  I hereby elect to purchase terrorism coverage for a prospective premium of $-0-
 
 
  I hereby decline to purchase terrorism coverage for certified acts of terrorism. I understand that I will have no coverage for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism. I further understand that by declining to purchase coverage for certified acts of terrorism, I am also declining to purchase coverage for non-certified acts of terrorism. This will be reflected in the policy by Terrorism Exclusion — Form No. 96554(2/08).      (

THIS CONTRACT IS REGISTERED AND DELIVERED AS A SURPLUS LINE COVERAGE UNDER THE SURPLUS LINE INSURANCE LAW O.C.G.A. CHAPTER 33-5.
LENDER PROTECTION INSURANCE POLICY
POLICY NUMBER: 7113491
In consideration of the Insurer’s receipt of the LPIC Premium, in reliance on the representations, warranties, acknowledgements and covenants of the Insured contained herein, and in accordance with and subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions contained herein, including the Declarations, Coverage Certificates and any exhibits, schedules, endorsements or other documents attached hereto or incorporated herein by reference, which together shall constitute this Lender Protection Insurance Policy (this “Policy”), Lexington Insurance Company (the “Insurer”) and Imperial PFC Financing II, LLC (the “Insured”) agree as follows:
Section I. Insuring Agreement and Loss Calculation
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Policy:
This Policy covers loss arising in respect of Coverage Certificates issued by the Insurer to the Insured during the Term of this Policy. If the Outstanding Loan Balance applicable to any Covered Loan is greater than zero (0) on the date the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a related Proof of Loss to the Insurer in accordance with Section IV.C, then the Insurer shall, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such related Proof of Loss, pay to the Insured, via electronic funds transfer to the Insured’s Account the applicable Outstanding Loan Balance as of the related Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, a Proof of Loss may only be delivered to the Insurer on or after the Loss Notification Date.
For purposes of this Policy, “Outstanding Loan Balance” means, for each Covered Loan, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the applicable Covered Loan Amount (as adjusted downward, on a dollar for dollar basis, if the amount of covered life insurance premium actually borrowed under such Covered Loan as of such calculation date is less than the Covered Life Insurance Premium) plus (ii) the applicable Aggregate Interest Amount (adjusted, if necessary, in accordance with Section IV.C) minus (iii) the applicable Covered Loan Settlement-Related Amount.
For the avoidance of doubt, if any premium in excess of the Total Life Insurance Premium is paid to a Life Insurance Carrier with respect to a Covered Policy for the purpose of (a) keeping such Covered Policy in force beyond the sixtieth (60th) day after the Maturity Date to the extent required by this Policy or (b) complying with Section IV.D(2), then such excess premium shall not be included in the calculation of Outstanding Loan Balance unless (i) the Insurer shall have agreed in writing to include such excess premium in the calculation of Outstanding Loan Balance and (ii) the Insured shall have paid to the Insurer any applicable additional LPIC Premium required in consideration of the Insurer’s agreement to do so.

subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
A.   For each applicable Covered Policy, an amount of premium shall have been paid to the applicable Life Insurance Carrier so that such Covered Policy has remained continuously in force through the sixtieth (60th) day after the related Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this condition precedent shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to a Covered Policy if the aggregate amount of premium paid to the applicable Life Insurance Carrier prior to the lapse of such Covered Policy equaled or exceeded the Total Life Insurance Premium set forth in the related Coverage Certificate.
 
B.   For any Covered Policy for which a Bankruptcy-Related Failure to Sell has occurred, the Insured or the LPIC Servicer or any other Person (other than the Insurer) shall have paid or caused to be paid all premiums necessary to keep such Covered Policy in force for the period extending from the [*] ([*]th) day after the Maturity Date up to and including the [*] ([*]th) day after the Maturity Date; provided, that the Insurer may, in its sole discretion, waive this condition precedent, by express notice of waiver in writing to the Insured, following the Insurer’s evaluation of the relevant Covered Policy for which a Bankruptcy-Related Failure to Sell has occurred.
 
C.   The Insured or the LPIC Servicer shall have submitted to the Insurer, on or before the [*] ([*]th) day after the related Loss Notification Date, but no earlier than the Loss Notification Date (the “Proof of Loss Due Date”), a Proof of Loss relating to such Covered Loan; provided that:
  (1)   if, on or prior to the Proof of Loss Due Date, the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a Proof of Loss, or a document that would qualify as a Proof of Loss but for the fact that such document is not properly completed and duly executed, and if the Insurer notifies the Insured that such document was not properly completed and/or duly executed, and if the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a properly completed and duly executed replacement Proof of Loss to the Insurer within [*] ([*]) Business Days after the Insured’s receipt of such notification from the Insurer, then in each case the relevant period of time for purposes of calculating the applicable Aggregate Interest Amount will end on the Payment Date;
 
  (2)   if, on or prior to the Proof of Loss Due Date, the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a document that would qualify as a Proof of Loss but for the fact that such document is not properly completed and duly executed, and if the Insurer notifies the Insured that such document was not properly completed and/or duly executed, but neither the Insured nor the LPIC Servicer submits a properly completed and duly executed Proof of Loss to the Insurer within [*] ([*]) Business Days after the Insured’s receipt of such notification from the Insurer, then the relevant period of time for purposes of calculating the applicable Aggregate Interest Amount will end on the Proof of Loss Due Date; and
 
  (3)   if the Insured or the LPIC Servicer submits a Proof of Loss to the Insurer after the Proof of Loss Due Date but on or before the [*] ([*]th) day after the Loss Notification Date, then the relevant period of time for purposes of calculating the applicable Aggregate Interest Amount will end on the Proof of Loss Due Date.

    A Proof of Loss or replacement Proof of Loss that is submitted by the Insured to the Insurer pursuant to this Section IV.C. shall be deemed to be properly completed and duly executed by the Insured absent written notice to the contrary sent by the Insurer to the Insured within [*] ([*]) Business Days of the Insurer’s receipt of such Proof of Loss or replacement Proof of Loss.
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsections (1), (2) and (3) above of this Section IV.C, with respect to each Covered Policy that is not an Exempt Covered Policy, if the Unencumbered Covered Policy Date applicable to such Covered Policy occurs on a day that is after the [*] ([*]th) day following the Maturity Date of the related Covered Loan, but that is on or before the [*] ([*]th) day after the Maturity Date of the related Covered Loan, then the relevant period of time for purposes of calculating the applicable Aggregate Interest Amount will end on the [*] ([*]th) day following the Maturity Date of the related Covered Loan.
D.   With regard to each Covered Policy that is not an Exempt Covered Policy:
  (1)   the Insured (or the Collateral Agent on its behalf) shall have obtained rights in such Covered Policy, or in the related Beneficial Interest (provided that nothing prohibits the Insured, or any other Person to whom the Beneficial Interest is transferred, from having such Covered Policy removed from the related Trust and transferred to the Insured or such other Person), to the extent necessary to cause such Covered Policy or such Beneficial Interest to be sold or otherwise disposed of free and clear of any lien or encumbrance (the date on or after the related Maturity Date on which such rights have been obtained by the Insured or the Collateral Agent, the “Unencumbered Covered Policy Date”; provided that, if such rights were obtained by the Insured or the Collateral Agent prior to the related Maturity Date, the Unencumbered Covered Policy Date shall be deemed to be the related Maturity Date);
 
  (2)   on the related Unencumbered Covered Policy Date, such Covered Policy must be in force and remain in force for a minimum of [*] ([*]) consecutive days thereafter without any additional premium payments required (other than any additional premium payments, if any, that have already been paid prior to such Unencumbered Covered Policy Date); and
 
  (3)   within five (5) Business Days after the Unencumbered Covered Policy Date, the Insured or the LPIC Servicer shall have instructed the Remarketing Agent to sell or otherwise dispose of such Covered Policy or related Beneficial Interest.

C.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Policy, each of the Insurer and the Insured (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax Treatment and Tax Structure of this Policy. For purposes of these provisions, “Tax Treatment” is strictly limited to the purported or claimed United States federal income tax treatment of this Policy and “Tax Structure” is strictly limited to any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed United States federal income tax treatment of this Policy.

Section XI. General Policy Provisions
A.   Assignment: This Policy and any and all rights under this Policy may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that (i) while the Insurer will continue to deal solely with the Insured in connection with all matters pertaining to this Policy, the Insured may pledge its rights under this Policy as contemplated by the Wholesale Loan Agreement and the Pledge and Security Agreement and (ii) the Insurer may assign this Policy and any and all rights under this Policy to another member company of Chartis without the prior written consent of the Insured so long as such other member company, at the time of transfer, has a financial strength rating from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. equal to or better than that of the Insurer at the time of such assignment, and in the event of any such assignment by the Insurer, the Insurer or the assignee shall, if practical, endeavor to provide the Insured with prior or subsequent written notice of such assignment. The Insurer shall not be bound by any assignment or transfer of interest that takes place without its prior written consent.
 
B.   Changes and Waivers: Notice to any representative of the Insurer or knowledge possessed by any such representative or by any Person shall not effect a waiver or change in any part of this Policy; nor shall the terms of this Policy be waived, changed, modified or amended unless agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of the Insurer. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Policy shall not constitute a waiver by such party of any such provision. Any past waiver of a provision by any party shall not constitute a course of conduct or a waiver in the future of that same provision.
 
C.   Examination of Books And Records: The Insurer shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time to examine or audit, at the Insurer’s expense, all of the Insured’s books and records that pertain to the coverage provided by this Policy. The Insurer shall notify the Insured of such an inspection at least five (5) Business Days in advance. To the extent that such books and records are to be maintained by a third party on behalf of the Insured, the Insured shall ensure that any related agreement with such third party allows for the Insurer to examine such books and records and the Insured shall direct such third party to allow the Insurer to examine such books and records in accordance with this section.
 
D.   Assistance and Cooperation: The Insured shall comply with all reasonable requests of the Insurer to assist the Insurer in verifying the validity of a loss and securing any rights,

    remedies or recoveries arising out of a payment by the Insurer under this Policy (including those relating to any Covered Policy or related Beneficial Interest), including without limitation assisting the Insurer to obtain information regarding any Covered Policy or the Underlying Life under any Covered Policy. In addition, the Insured shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all reasonable and lawful requests that may be made by the Insurer in connection with keeping a Covered Policy in force, including without limitation paying (or arranging for the payment of, or allowing the Insurer if the Insurer so chooses to pay or arrange for the payment of) additional premiums on such Covered Policy; it being understood that any such requests that may be made by the Insurer, including without limitation, in connection with any payment of additional premiums that may be required to keep a Covered Policy in force, shall only be undertaken by or on behalf of the Insured at the expense of the Insurer.
 
    The Insurer shall not be called upon to assume charge of the settlement or defense of any claim made or suit brought or proceeding instituted against an Insured, but the Insurer shall have the right and shall be given the opportunity to associate with the Insured or the Insured’s underlying insurers or both in the defense and control of any claim, suit, or proceeding that involves, or appears reasonably likely to involve, the Insurer or this Policy, in which event the Insured and the Insurer shall cooperate in all things in the defense of such claim, suit, or proceeding. The Insured shall furnish promptly all information reasonably requested by the Insurer with respect thereto. If liabilities, losses, costs and/or expenses are in part covered by this Policy and in part not covered by this Policy, the Insured and Insurer shall use their best efforts to agree upon a fair and proper allocation thereof between covered and uncovered amounts, and the Insured shall cooperate with such efforts by providing all pertinent information with respect thereto.
 
    All information provided to the Insurer pursuant hereto is necessary to the consultation and cooperation between the Insured and the Insurer for the management and resolution of their respective affairs in connection with the Policy, and shall be provided notwithstanding the issuance by the Insurer of any denial or reservation of rights. The Insured and the Insurer agree that they may share a common interest in the matters relating to this Policy and in information relevant thereto, including information subject to attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, litigation privilege, and other legal or equitable privileges, and that the Insured’s provision of such information is not intended to and shall not breach or impair any such privileges, regardless of the forum in which such privileges may be asserted.

  (1)   It is hereby understood and agreed that all disputes or differences which may arise under or in connection with this Policy, including without limitation any determination of the amount of damages and including without limitation any disputes or differences arising and/or continuing after the termination, cancellation or expiration of this Policy, shall be submitted to binding arbitration. Any such arbitration shall be based on the Procedures for the Resolution of U.S. Insurance and Reinsurance Disputes dated September 1999 (the “Procedures”), as supplemented by the paragraphs below.
 
  (2)   The Panel shall consist of three Disinterested arbitrators, one to be appointed by the Petitioner, one to be appointed by the Respondent and the third to be appointed by the two Party-appointed arbitrators. The third arbitrator shall serve as the umpire, who shall be neutral. The arbitrators and umpire shall be persons who have knowledge of the legal, financial, corporate and insurance issues relevant to the matters in dispute. Within thirty days of the commencement of the arbitration proceeding, each Party shall provide the other Party with the identification of its Party-appointed arbitrator, his or her address (including telephone, fax and e-mail information), and provide a copy of the arbitrator’s curriculum vitae. If either Party fails to appoint an arbitrator within that thirty-day period (or applicable longer period), the non-defaulting Party will appoint an arbitrator to act as the Party-appointed arbitrator for the defaulting Party. The umpire shall be appointed by the two Party-appointed arbitrators as soon as practical (but no later than 30 days) after the appointment of the second arbitrator. The Party-appointed arbitrators may consult, in confidence, with the Party who appointed them concerning the appointment of the umpire.
 
  (3)   Where the two Party-appointed arbitrators have failed to reach agreement on an umpire within the time specified in paragraph (2) immediately above, each Party shall propose to the other in writing, within 7 days thereafter, eight umpire candidates from the ARIAS U.S. Certified Arbitrators List in effect at the time of the commencement of the arbitration. The umpire will then be selected in accordance with 6.7(b)-(e) of the Procedures. (Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the ARIAS U.S. Umpire Questionnaire Form in effect at the time of the commencement of the arbitration shall be used).
 
  (4)   The arbitration shall take place in New York, New York.
 
  (5)   Unless prohibited by law, the Supreme Court of the State and County of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any and all court proceedings that either Party may initiate in connection with the arbitration, including proceedings to compel, stay, or enjoin arbitration or to confirm, vacate, modify, or correct an Arbitration Award..
 
  (6)   The arbitration award shall not include attorneys’ fees or other costs. Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitration activities, including its appointed arbitrator and its outside attorney or witness fees, and the parties shall equally bear the expense of the umpire and the common expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

  (7)   For purposes of this Section XI.L., the terms “Arbitration Award,” “Disinterested,” “Notice of Arbitration,” “Panel,” “Party” (or “Parties”), “Petitioner,” “Respondent,” and “Response” shall have the meanings set forth in article 2 of the Procedures (Definitions).
 
  (8)   In the event of any conflict between the Procedures and this Article, this Article, and not the Procedures, will control.
 
  (9)   This Section XI.L. shall survive the expiration or termination of this Policy.
M.   Service of Suit: Subject to Section XI.L. above, in the event of failure of the Insurer to pay any amount claimed to be due hereunder, the Insurer, at the request of the Insured, will submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this condition constitutes or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Insurer’s rights 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. Service of process in such suit may be made upon General Counsel, Lexington Insurance Company, 175 Water Street, New York, New York 10038 or his or her representatives, with a copy to Risk Finance, Attention: Senior Division Counsel, Chartis, 70 Pine Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10270. In any suit instituted against the Insurer upon this Policy, the Insurer shall abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of any appeal.
 
    Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory, or district of the United States which makes provision therefor, the Insurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his or her successor or successors in office as its 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 Insured or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Policy, and hereby designates the above named counsel as the individual to whom the said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.
 
N.   Unwinding of Covered Policies: Notwithstanding any other provision in this Policy, if, after the issuance of a Coverage Certificate, the applicable Retail Borrower exercises its right to cancel a Covered Policy relating to the applicable Covered Loan within the applicable Free Look Period, then (1) all coverage under this Policy relating to such Coverage Certificate shall be void ab initio, (2) the Insurer shall return to the Insured all previously received Premium relating to such Covered Loan and (3) each of the Insurer and the Insured shall bear its own costs and expenses relating thereto, with no rights to indemnification from the other party for such costs and expenses.
 
O.   Counterparts: This Policy may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.
 
P.   Inadvertent Errors: If, after the issuance of a Coverage Certificate, the Insurer or the Insured discovers that an inadvertent error has been made in such Coverage Certificate, such party shall promptly notify the other party of such inadvertent error. Following such notification, such inadvertent error may be corrected with the issuance of a replacement
