The Company hereby indemnifies the Insured against ultimate net loss in excess of and arising out of the hazards covered and as defined and in excess of the underlying insurance as shown in Item 3 of the Declarations (hereinafter referred to as "underlying insurance") but only up to an amount not exceeding the limit(s) shown in Item 4 of the Declarations. 2. Except as may be inconsistent with this Policy, the coverage provided by this Policy shall follow the insuring agreements, conditions and exclusions of the underlying insurance (whether primary or excess) immediately preceding the layer of coverage provided by this Policy, including any change by endorsements. The Company shall be notified of any change in coverage or premium in such underlying insurance and copies thereof shall be furnished to the Company upon request. 3. The limits of the underlying insurance shall be maintained in full effect during the currency of this Policy except for reduction of such limits by exhaustion of aggregate limits (if any) contained therein solely by payment of claims resulting from accidents or occurrences happening during the period thereof. Failure of the Insured to comply with the foregoing shall not invalidate this Policy but in the event of such failure the company shall be liable only to the extent that it would have been liable had the Insured complied therewith. 4. Unless aggregate limits are specifically stated in Items 3 and 4 of the Declarations, the coverage provided by this Policy applies only with respect to each accident or occurrence for limits in excess of the amount provided for same in the underlying insurance and does not apply over any reduced amount of underlying insurance in the event of the exhaustion or reduction of aggregate limits (if any) in the underlying insurance. 5. If aggregate limits are specifically stated in Item 3 and 4 of the Declarations, this Policy will apply in excess of reduced underlying insurance provided such reduction in the underlying insurance is solely the result of accidents or occurrences happening after the inception date of this Policy. The Insured shall give the Company written notice as soon as possible of any reduction or exhaustion of such aggregate limit in the underlying insurance. 6. If more than one insured is named in the Declarations such additional Insured(s) shall not have the effect of increasing the Company's limit of liability for each accident or occurrence stated in Item 4 of the Declarations. PREMIUM 7. Premium due the Company for this excess insurance shall be that amount shown in Item 5 of the Declarations and is payable upon delivery of this Policy. NOTICE OF LOSS 8. The Insured shall immediately advise the Company of any accident or occurrence which appears likely to result in liability under this Policy and of subsequent developments likely to affect the Company's liability hereunder. At no time shall the Company be called upon to assume charge of the settlement or defense of any claims made or suits brought or proceedings instituted against the Insured, but the Company shall have the right aid shall be given the opportunity to associate with the Insured or its underlying insurer or insurers, or both, in the control, defense and /or trial of any claims, suits or proceedings which, in the opinion of the Company, involves or appears reasonably likely to involve the Company. If the company avails itself of such right and opportunity, the Insured, any underlying insurer or insurers and the Company shall cooperate in the control, defense and /or trial of such claims, suits or proceedings, so as to affect a final determination thereof. Failure on the part of the Insured or the underlying insurer or insurers to cooperate shall relieve the Company, at its option, of liability under this Policy. 9. The Insured shall be solely responsible for the investigation, settlement, defense and final disposition of any claim made or suit brought or proceeding instituted against the Insured to which this Policy would apply and which no underlying insurer or insurers is obligated to defend. The Insured shall use due diligence and prudence to settle all such claims and suits which in the exercise of sound judgment should be settled, provided, however, that the Insured shall not make or agree to any settlement for any sum, in excess of the underlying insurance, without the approval of the Company. 10. The Insured shall (a) cooperate with the underlying insurer or insurers, as required by the terms of the underlying insurance, (b) comply with all the terms and conditions thereof and (c) enforce any right of contribution or indemnity against any person or organization who may be liable to the Insured, because of liability with respect to which insurance is afforded under this Policy and the underlying insurance. LOSS PAYABLE 11. The Company's obligation to pay any ultimate net loss and costs with respect to any accident or occurrence fatting within the terms of this Policy shall not attach until the amount of the applicable underlying limit has been paid by or on behalf of the Insured on account of such accident or occurrence. The Insured shall make claim for any ultimate net loss and costs under this Policy within a period of not exceeding twelve (12) months after, (a) the Insured shall have paid ultimate net loss in excess of the underlying limit, with respect to any accident or occurrence, or (b) the Insured's obligation to pay such amounts shall have been finally determined, either by judgment against the Insured after actual trial or by written agreement of the Insured, the claimant and the company. 12. All losses covered by this Policy shall be due and payable by the Company within thirty (30) days after claim has been presented and proper proof of payment of ultimate net loss and costs has been submitted, all in accordance with the terms above. ULTIMATE NET LOSS AND COSTS 13. Ultimate net loss, as used herein, shall be understood to mean the sums paid in settlement of losses for which the Insured is liable after making deductions for all recoveries, salvages and other insurances (other than recoveries under the underlying insurance, policies of co- insurance, or policies specifically in excess hereof), whether recoverable or not, and shall exclude all "Costs ". 14. The word "costs ", as used herein, shall be understood to mean interest on judgments, investigation, adjustment and legal expenses including taxed court costs and premiums on bonds, for which the Insured is not covered by the underlying insurance (excluding, however, (a) all expenses for salaried employees and counsel on general retainer, (b) all office expenses of the Insured, and (c) regular fees paid to counsel on general retainer. 15. Casts incurred by the Insured, with the written consent of the Company, shall be apportioned as follows: (a) in the event of claim or suit arising which appears likely to exceed the underlying insurance limit or limits, no Costs shall be incurred by the Insured without the written consent of the Company. (b) should such claim or suit be settled previous to going into court for not more than the underlying insurance limit or limits, then no Costs shall be payable by the Company. (c) should, however, the sum for which the said claim or suit may be settled exceed the underlying insurance limit or limits, then the Company, if it approves such settlement or consents to the proceedings continuing, shall contribute to the Costs incurred by the Insured in the ratio that its proportion of the ultimate net loss as finally adjusted bears to the whole amount of such ultimate net loss. (d) in the event the Insured elects not to appeal a judgment in excess of the underlying insurance limit or limits, the Company may elect to conduct such appeal at its own cost and expense and shall be liable for the taxable court costs and interest incidental thereto, but in no event shall the total liability of the Company exceed its limit or limits of liability as stated above, plus the costs of such appeal. (e) in the event a judgment is rendered in excess of the underlying insurance limit or limits and the underlying insurer or insurers elect to appeal such judgment, the duty of obtaining an appeal bond in regard to liability in excess of the underlying insurance limit or limits shall rest with the Insured and its underlying insurer or insurers. SUBROGATION AND SALVAGE 16. All salvages, recoveries or payments recovered or received subsequent to a settlement under this Policy shall be applied as if recovered or received prior to such settlement and all necessary adjustments shall then be made between the Insured and the Company, provided always that nothing in this clause shall be construed to mean that losses under this Policy are not recoverable until the Insured's ultimate net loss has been finally ascertained. 17. Inasmuch as this Policy is Excess Insurance, the Insured's right of recovery against any person cannot be exclusively subrogated to the company. It is, therefore, understood and agreed that in case of any payment hereunder, the Company will act in concert with all other parties (including the Insured) concerned, in the exercise of such rights of recovery. The apportioning of any amounts which may be so recovered shall follow the principle that any parties (including the Insured) that shall have paid an amount over and above any payment hereunder, shall first be reimbursed up to the amount paid by them, the company is then to be reimbursed out of any balance then remaining up to the amount paid hereunder; lastly the parties (including the Insured) of whom this coverage is in excess are entitled to claim the residue, if any. Expenses necessary to the recovery of any such amounts shall be apportioned between the parties (including the Insured) concerned, in the ratio of their respective recoveries as finally settled. 18. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to mean that the Insured shall be required to enforce by legal action any right of subrogation or indemnity before the Company shalt pay any loss covered hereunder. TERM 19. This Policy applies only to accidents or occurrences happening between the effective and expiration dates shown in Item 2 of the Declarations, unless otherwise cancelled. NUCLEAR INCIDENT EXCLUSION 20. It is agreed that this Policy does not apply: I.
