1.12 	This clause does not prevent a person from presenting the excluded claim to the insolvent 
1.13 	insurer or its liquidator, but the claims shall not be asserted against another person, including 
1.14 	the person to whom the benefits were paid or the insured of the insolvent insurer, except to 
1.15 	the extent that the claim is outside the coverage of the policy issued by the insolvent insurer;

1.20 	shall be deemed to include the aggregate net worth of the insured and all of its subsidiaries

2.6 	self-insured retention of $300,000 or more, nor that portion of a claim that is within an 
2.7 	insured's deductible or self-insured retention; and
2.8 	(5) claims that are a fine, penalty, interest, or punitive or exemplary damages.
