Right of Reimbursement We are not obligated to pay for expenses due to an Injury for which a third party may be liable or legally responsible. A third party is any person or organization other than the Covered Person. We will ask the Covered Person to sign an agreement immediately after We pay benefits. This agreement will specify that the Covered Person will notify Us in writing whenever the Covered Person makes a claim or the Covered Person’s legal representative makes a claim against a third party or a third party’s insurer for damages due to the Covered Person’s Injury and the Covered Person will reimburse Us for any benefits received which We have paid when the Covered Person recovers money from the third party’s insurer by settlement, judgment or in any other manner. We will also require the Covered Person to sign an assignment of funds due Us from any funds the Covered Person recovers from the third party or its insurer. The amount of reimbursement to Us will be the smaller of: 1. the actual amount paid by Us; or 2. the portion of the amount the Covered Person actually recovered from the judgment or

settlement that exceeds the amount necessary to fully reimburse the Covered Person for out of pocket expenses. Out of pocket expenses include attorney fees.
