ii)      The cover afforded under this Clause 9 A shall extend only to risks, liabilities and expenses arising out of operations and/or activities customarily carried on by or at the risk and responsibility of a Charterer and which are within the scope of the cover afforded by the Rules and any special terms set out in the Certificate of Entry.

B.     Unless and to the extent that separate cover has been agreed in writing with the Assured by the Managers, the benefit of the cover extended to co-assureds in accordance with Clause 9A shall be limited to reimbursement of claims relating to liabilities, costs or expenses incurred by them to the extent that the Assured

 (i)     would have incurred the same liabilities, costs and expenses if the same claims had been pursued against it and

(i)  would thereafter have been entitled to obtain reimbursement from the Club in accordance with the terms of entry of the entered ship in the Club.
