Recoveries, whether effected by the COMPANY or by the ASSURED, shall be applied net of the expense of such recovery in the following order:

a.   first, to the satisfaction of the ASSURED’S loss which would otherwise have been paid but for the fact that it is in excess of the applicable LIMIT OF LIABILITY,
