Paragraph 4. Allocation deleted and replaced with the following: <br />Allocation <br />The Insurer and the Insureds shall use their best efforts to determine a fair and proper allocation <br />between Loss and any amount that is not covered Loss or any other amount, based on the relative legal <br />and financial exposures of the covered parties to the covered matters. Failure of the Insurer and the <br />Insured to agree to an allocation determination shall not preclude the Insurer from advancing Defense <br />Costs in accordance with paragraph 3 in Section IV, Limit of Liability/Retention/Indemnification/ <br />Advancement of Defense Costs. <br />If the Insured Entity and the Insurer cannot, after exerting their best efforts, agree on an allocation of <br />insured and uninsured Defense Costs, the Insurer then shall advance the percentage of Defense Costs <br />which the Insurer states to be fair and proper until a different allocation is agreed upon or determined <br />pursuant to the provisions of this Policy and applicable law.
