10. Loss Payable Liability under this Coverage Part does not apply to a given claim unless and until: a. The insured or insured's "controlling under- lying insurer" has become obligated to pay the "retained limit"; and b. The obligation of the insured to pay the "ultimate net loss" in excess of the "retained limit" has been determined by a final settlement or judgment or written agreement among the insured, claimant, "controlling underlying insurer" (or a representative of one or more of these) and us. 11. Legal Action Against Us No person or organization has a right under this Coverage Part: a. To join us as a party or otherwise bring us into a suit asking for damages from an insured; or b. To sue us on this Coverage Part unless all of its terms have been fully complied with. A person or organization may sue us to recover on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment against an insured; but we will not be liable for damages that are not payable under the terms of this Coverage Part or that are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed by us, the insured, "controlling underlying insurer" and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative. 12. Transfer Of Defense a. Defense Transferred To Us When the limits of "controlling underlying insurance" have been exhausted, in accordance with the provisions of "controlling underlying insurance", we may elect to have the defense transferred to us. We will cooperate in the transfer of control to us of any outstanding claims or suits seeking damages to which this insurance applies and which would have been covered by the "controlling underlying insurance" had the applicable limit not been exhausted. b. Defense Transferred By Us When our limits of insurance have been exhausted our duty to provide a defense will cease. We will cooperate in the transfer of control of defense to any insurer specifically written as excess over this Coverage Part of any outstanding claims or suits seeking damages to which this insurance applies and which would have been covered by the "controlling underlying insurance" had the applicable limit not been exhausted. In the event that there is no insurance written as excess over this Coverage Part, we will cooperate in the transfer of control to the insured and its designated representative. 13. When We Do Not Renew If we decide not to renew this Coverage Part, we will mail or deliver to the first Named Insured shown in the Declarations written notice of the nonrenewal not less than 30 days before the expiration date.
