The expense thus incurred by the other party shall be chargeable, subject to the approval of the court, against the Insolvent Party as part of the expense of conservation, liquidation or receivership to the extent of a pro rata share of the benefit which may accrue to the Insolvent Party solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the other party.

ARTICLE XX — ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

Any inadvertent error or omission on the part of either the Company or the Reinsurers shall not relieve the other party from any liability which would have attached hereunder, provided that such error or omission is rectified immediately upon discovery, and shall not impose any greater liability on the Reinsurers than would have attached hereunder if the error or omission had not occurred.

The term “Extra Contractual Obligations” is defined as those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of any claim on business covered hereunder, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited to, the following: failure by the Company to settle within the policy limit, or by reason of alleged or actual negligence, fraud, or bad faith in rejecting an offer of settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action against its insured or reinsured or in the preparation of prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action.

The date on which any Extra Contractual Obligation is incurred by the Company shall be deemed, in all circumstances, to be the date of the original disaster and/or casualty.

However, this Article shall not apply where the loss has been incurred due to fraud by a member of the Board of Directors or a corporate officer of the Company acting individually or collectively or in the collusion with any individual or corporation or any other organization or party involved in the presentation, defense or settlement of any claim covered hereunder.

ARTICLE XXV — NON-WAIVER CLAUSE

ARTICLE XXVI — INSOLVENCY FUND EXCLUSION

It is agreed that this Contract excludes all liability of the Company arising by contract, operation of law, or otherwise, from its participation or membership, whether voluntary or involuntary, in any insolvency fund. “Insolvency Fund” includes any guarantee fund, insolvency fund, plan, pool, association, fund or other arrangement, howsoever denominated, established or governed, which provides for any debt, charge, fee, or other obligation of an insurer, or its successors or assigns, which has been declared by any competent authority to be insolvent, or which is otherwise deemed unable to meet any claim, debt, charge, fee or other obligation in whole or in part.

If mutual agreement cannot be reached, then any difference shall be settled by an appraisal made by a panel of three actuaries, one to be chosen by each party and the third by the two so chosen. If either party refuses

All the actuaries shall be regularly engaged in the valuation of Workers’ Compensation claims and shall be Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial Society or Members of the American Academy of Actuaries. None of the actuaries shall be under the control of either party to this Agreement.

Each party shall submit its case to its chosen actuary within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third actuary. The decision in writing of any two appointed actuaries, when filed with the parties hereto, shall be final and binding on all parties participating in the appraisal and judgment may be entered hereon in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The expense of the actuaries and of their appraisal shall be equally divided between the Company and the Reinsurer. The appraisal shall take place in South Carolina unless some other place is mutually agreed upon by Company and Reinsurer.

Any payment by the Reinsurer under this Article shall constitute a complete release of the Reinsurer for its liability as respect any such Loss Occurrence.
