(ii) the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Chubb INA and (assuming the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Chubb and the Trustee), the Indenture constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Chubb INA and Chubb, enforceable against Chubb INA and Chubb in accordance with its terms, except as (a) the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture;
(iii) the Notes have been duly authorized and executed by Chubb INA and, assuming the due authentication thereof in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivery against payment of the consideration therefor, constitute valid and binding obligations of Chubb INA, enforceable against Chubb INA in accordance with their terms, except as (a) the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture; and
(iv) assuming the Guarantee has been duly authorized by Chubb under Swiss law, the Guarantee constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Chubb enforceable against Chubb in accordance with its terms, except as (a) the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
