may be entitled to recover from any person under A of Part I.
(d) The Company shall not be obligated to pay under this coverage that part of the damages which the insured may be entitled to
recover from the owner or operator of an uninsured automobile which represents medical payments paid or payable under Part
Ill.
(e) If more than one policy issued by this Company applies to Part II, the total limit of this Company’s liability under all such policies
shall not exceed the amount applicable under only one policy.
(f) It is agreed between the insured and the Company that in no event shall the total limit of the Company’s liability exceed the limits
set forth in the Declarations regardless of the number of vehicles insured under the policy or the separated itemization of
premiums therefor; and that coverage under this section shall not be “stacked”with any other similar or identical coverage that
may be issued under this policy.
(g) Any amount payable under Part II shall be reduced by all sums paid to the insured for property damage on behalf of the owner
or operator of the uninsured automobile and any other person or organization jointly or severally liable together with such owner

payable under this Part for property damage exceed $15,000. All property damage claims under this Part are subject to a $250
deductible.
Other Insurance. With respect to bodily injury to an insured while occupying an automobile not owned by the named insured, the
insurance under Part II shall apply only as excess insurance over any other similar insurance available to such insured and applicable
to such automobile as primary insurance, and this insurance shall then apply only in the amount by which the limits of liability for
this coverage exceeds the applicable limit of liability of such other insurance.
Except as provided in the foregoing paragraph, if the insured has other similar insurance available to him and applicable to the
accident, the damages shall be deemed not to exceed the higher of the applicable limits of liability of this insurance and such other
insurance, and the Company shall not be liable for a greater proportion of any loss to which this coverage applies than the limit of
liability hereunder bears to the sum of the applicable limits of liability of this insurance and such other insurance.
Arbitration. If any person making claim hereunder and the Company do not agree that both the vehicle(s) and the driver(s) of the
vehicles with which any person making claim has had an accident were not covered by liability insurance at the time of the accident,
or do not agree that such person is legally entitled to recover damages from the owner or operator of an uninsured motor vehicle,
where applicable, or do not agree as to the amount payable hereunder, then these matters shall be submitted to arbitration. Any
dispute with respect to the coverage and the amount of damages shall be submitted for arbitration to the American Arbitration
Association and be subject to its rules for the conduct of arbitration hearings as to all matters except medical opinions. Alternatively,
such disputes shall be determined in the following manner: Upon the insured or the Company requesting arbitration, the insured
and the Company shall each select an arbitrator and the two arbitrators so named shall select a third arbitrator. The three arbitrators
so selected shall hear and determine the questions in dispute. If such arbitrators are not selected within 45 days from such request,
either party may request that the arbitration be submitted to the American Arbitration Association. Any decision made by the
arbitrators shall be binding for the amount of damages not exceeding $50,000 for bodily injury to or death of any one person,
$100,000 for bodily injury to or death of 2 or more persons in any one motor vehicle accident, or the corresponding policy limits for
bodily injury or death, whichever is less. Except as required by law or as provided above, all arbitration hearings, either before the
American Arbitration Association or before a three arbitrator panel shall be conducted in the County and State in which the insured
resides and in accordance with any court mandated arbitration or mediation rules. It is agreed that the arbitrator(s) shall not enter
an award in excess of the applicable policy limits, and, if an award is entered in excess of the applicable policy then that portion of
the award that exceeds the policy limits is void and not binding on either the insured or the Company.
Trust Agreement. In the event of payment to any person under Part II:
(a) the Company shall be entitled to the extent of such payment to the proceeds on any settlement or judgment that may result from
the exercise of any rights of recovery of such person against any person or organization legally responsible for the bodily injury
because of which such payment is made;

person or organization because of the damages which are the subject of claim made under Part II;

action to be taken in the name of such person; in the event of a recovery, the Company shall be reimbursed out of such recovery
for expenses, costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by it in connection therewith,

a lawsuit before a judgment had been entered in said suit. If, before the Company makes a payment of loss under Part II, the
insured or his legal representative shall institute any legal action for bodily injury against any person or organization legally
responsible for the use of an automobile involved in the accident, a copy of the summons and complaint or other process served

application, renewal forms, change forms, and claim documents. This policy is null and void and of no benefit if any information

who makes a fraudulent statement or omission or engages in fraudulent conduct with respect to any accident or loss for which

the Company.Any person or organization or the legal representative thereof who has secured such judgment or written agreement
shall thereafter be entitled to recover under this policy to the extent of the insurance afforded by this policy. No person or
organization shall have any right under this policy to join the Company as a party to any action against the insured to determine
the insured’s liability, nor shall the Company be impleaded by the insured or his legal representative. Bankruptcy or insolvency

the time of the accident and the amount payable to repair the damage under Part V and, failing to agree, submit their differences
to the umpire. An award in writing of either the two appraisers or one appraiser and the umpire shall determine the amount
payable under this policy and shall be binding on the parties. The award shall specify the application of the deductible. The

and umpire. The Company shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights by any act relating to appraisal.

claim for loss either with the insured or the owner of the property. If the insured or owner elects to have the automobile repaired
at a facility of his or her choosing and that facility charges more than the Company would pay for the repair at another licensed
auto repair facility reasonably available, then the company may tender the amount payable under its estimate, and the insured
or owner will be responsible to pay the difference to the repair facility of his or her choosing. If hidden or additional damage is
found, and is related to the loss, then the Company shall be given an opportunity to estimate the cost of such additional repair
and the Company may tender such additional amount payable pursuant to its additional estimate.
