You must see to it that we are notified as soon <br />as practicable of an "injury" which may result in <br />a claim. To the extent possible, notice should <br />include: <br /> (1) How, when and where the "injury" took <br />place; <br /> (2) The names and addresses of any injured <br />persons and witnesses; and <br /> (3) The nature and location of any "injury". <br /> b. If a claim is made or "suit" is brought against <br />any insured, you must: <br /> (1) Immediately record the specifics of the <br />claim or "suit" and the date received; and <br /> (2) Notify us as soon as practicable. <br />You must see to it that we receive written <br />notice of the claim or "suit" as soon as <br />practicable. <br /> c. You and any other involved insured must: <br /> (1) Immediately send us copies of any <br />demands, notices, summonses or legal <br />papers received in connection with the <br />claim or "suit"; <br /> (2) Authorize us to obtain records and other <br />information; <br /> (3) Cooperate with us in the investigation or <br />settlement of the claim or defense against <br />the "suit"; and <br /> (4) Assist us, upon our request, in the <br />enforcement of any right against any <br />person or organization which may be liable <br />to the insured because of "injury" to which <br />this insurance may also apply. <br /> d. No insured will, except at that insured's own <br />cost, voluntarily make a payment, assume any <br />obligation, or incur any expense, other than for <br />first aid, without our consent. <br /> 3. Legal Action Against Us <br />No person or organization has a right under this <br />Coverage Part: <br /> a. To join us as a party or otherwise bring us into <br />a "suit" asking for damages from an insured; or <br /> b. To sue us on this Coverage Part unless all of <br />its terms have been fully complied with. <br />A person or organization may sue us to recover on <br />an agreed settlement or on a final judgment <br />against an insured; but we will not be liable for <br />damages that are not payable under the terms of <br />this Coverage Part or that are in excess of the <br />applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement <br />means a settlement and release of liability signed <br />by us, the insured and the claimant or the <br />claimant's legal representative. <br /> 4. Other Insurance <br />If other valid and collectible insurance is available <br />to the insured for a loss we cover under this <br />Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as <br />follows: <br /> a. Primary Insurance <br />This insurance is primary. Our obligations are <br />not affected unless any of the other insurance <br />is also primary. Then, we will share with all that <br />other insurance by the method described in b. <br />below. <br /> b. Method Of Sharing <br />If all of the other insurance permits contribution <br />by equal shares, we will follow this method <br />also. Under this approach each insurer <br />contributes equal amounts until it has paid its <br />applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss <br />remains, whichever comes first. <br />If any of the other insurance does not permit <br />contribution by equal shares, we will contribute <br />by limits. Under this method, each insurer's <br />share is based on the ratio of its applicable <br />limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of <br />insurance of all insurers. <br /> 5. Premium Audit <br /> a. We will compute all premiums for this <br />Coverage Part in accordance with our rules <br />and rates. <br /> b. Premium shown in this Coverage Part as <br />advance premium is a deposit premium only. <br />At the close of each audit period we will <br />compute the earned premium for that period <br />and send notice to the first Named Insured. <br />The due date for audit and retrospective <br />premiums is the date shown as the due date <br />on the bill. If the sum of the advance and audit <br />premiums paid for the policy period is greater <br />than the earned premium, we will return the <br />excess to the first Named Insured. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 81A61471-345A-47F9-8A2D-36F7929A6637
