retention plus the Limit of Liability hereunder shall be reimbursed first to the extent of the actual

balance then remains unpaid, it shall be applied to reimburse the Insured or any underlying insurer, as
their interests may appear.
2. The expenses of all such recovery proceedings shall be apportioned in the ratio of respective recoveries.
If there is no recovery in proceedings conducted by the Company, it shall bear the expenses thereof.

chosen by the Insured and the Company not agree as to the third arbitrator within one month after both have

shall then be made by drawing lots.. Should either party hereto fail to appoint an arbitrator within one month
after receipt of written notice, delivered by Certified Mail, from the other party requesting it to do so, the
requesting party shall name both arbitrators, and they shall proceed in all respects as above stipulated.
