MEMORANDUM & ORDER
In this diversity action, Emons Industries, Inc. (“Emons”) seeks a declaratory judgment holding that Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company (“Liberty”) and Reserve Insurance Company (“Reserve”) are con*186tractually obligated to indemnify Emons for product liability arising from the sale of a pharmaceutical product known as Diethyl-stilbestrol or, more commonly, DES. In 1979, I granted partial summary judgment in favor of Emons holding that Liberty and Reserve were each liable for fifty percent of the cost of defending the product liability lawsuits against Emons. Emons Industries, Inc. v. Liberty Mutual Fire Ins. Co., 481 F.Supp. 1022 (S.D.N.Y.1979). Since that time the parties have attempted to settle the case but without success. Liberty now moves for summary judgment on the issue of indemnity for Emons’ product liability, and Reserve moves to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or in the alternative for a stay due to its recent placement in receivership. After providing some background to the issues in this case, each of these motions will be discussed in order.
DES is a synthetic estrogen which was commonly used during the 1950’s and early 1960’s by pregnant women to prevent miscarriage. Emons first distributed the drug in 1945.1 In 1947, the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) formally approved of its use by pregnant women. Mounting medical evidence, however, compelled the FDA to ban this use of DES in 1971. This evidence suggested that DES may cause cancer in the female offspring of women who ingested it during pregnancy. Consequently, women afflicted with cancer thought to be caused by DES, and their mothers who ingested the drug, brought suit around the country against the various manufacturers of DES, including Emons. According to Liberty, one of Emons’ insurers over the past half century, at least thirteen plaintiffs have brought claims against Emons. These plaintiffs or their mothers apparently ingested DES at times between 1952 and 1963 2
After the commencement of the actions by these plaintiffs against Emons, Emons requested that two of its insurers, Liberty and Reserve, defend it and reimburse it for any judgments or settlements against it. My prior opinion in this action addressed the defendants’ duty to defend Emons. 481 F.Supp. 1022 (S.D.N.Y.1979). The parties subsequently agreed that this action was to be held in abeyance until such time as a judgment was obtained against Emons in the product liability suits or until there has been a settlement without agreement between the insurers as to who should pay any settlement costs. Emons recently settled a case for $25,000,3 and after Liberty refused to reimburse Emons, Emons requested by letter to me dated June 23,1981 that this action be removed from the suspense calendar. The instant motions address, inter alia, the ultimate issue in this case, namely, whether Liberty and Reserve are liable for indemnification of Emons.
*187I.
It is undisputed that Liberty insured Em-ons from 1945 until 1970. Thereafter, Em-ons was insured by several other companies, one of which was Reserve. Liberty argues, however, that the coverage afforded to Em-ons prior to 1964 did not include products liability coverage. Liberty admits that it covered Emons for products liability from 1964 to 1970, but it asserts that Emons was issued only general coverage prior to that time. Because the diseases which form the basis of the claims against Emons either manifested themselves after 1970 or were the result of ingestions prior to 1964, Liberty submits that it is not liable to Emons for judgments or settlements obtained in any DES action against Emons.
Liberty’s argument is predicated on Em-ons’ purported failure to meet its burden of proving the terms and provisions of the policies upon which it sues. Emons’ ability to provide this proof has been all but eliminated by the unexplained destruction of the insurance policies in existence prior to 1964. Liberty asserts that it has made repeated efforts to locate records of the old policies but without success. Urmston Affidavit. Moreover, Liberty argues that it was unusual prior to 1960 for a business insured by Liberty to purchase products liability coverage as part of a general liability program of insurance. Purkis Affidavit 112. Finally, Liberty argues that any products liability insurance that was extended to Emons pri- or to 1964 must have had limits, which in all probability have been used up. Liberty asserts that Emons has not offered any proof to show that the policy limits have not already been consumed.
Emons’ response to these arguments is two-fold: (i) evidence exists in the record to show that in fact Liberty issued products liability insurance to Emons prior to 1964, and (ii) in any case, Liberty, not Emons, has the burden of showing that the comprehensive liability policy in existence prior to 1964 did not also include products liability coverage. Relying on these arguments, Emons cross-moves for summary judgment.
Emons has presented evidence which tends to show that it had products liability coverage prior to 1964 from Liberty. Significant is the affidavit of Lewis Stein, the president of Emons between 1945 and 1970, who proclaims: “I can state with certainty that from that date [1945] forward we never had less than $150,000 of product liability insurance . .. . ” Stein Affidavit U 5. Another probative piece of evidence is a survey prepared by a Liberty claims inspector in 1961. It may be presumed that this survey report was used by Liberty to assess any risk involved in insuring Emons for products liability, and as such, it tends to rebut Liberty’s assertion that no coverage existed. The survey states: “This inspection was prompted primarily by the assured’s [Emon’s] desire to increase his present products liability coverage.” Biehl Affidavit, Exhibit F. Other evidence, consisting of policies issued by Liberty to Emons after 1964, suggests that products liability coverage existed prior to that year.
This proof creates genuine issues of material fact sufficient to defeat Liberty’s motion for summary judgment on the issue of whether products liability coverage existed prior to 1964.
Liberty asserts that despite this proof Emons has not met its burden of proving the applicable limits of any coverage it might have had. Evidently, the aggregate limit on any comprehensive policy to Emons —Mr. Stein recalled a $150,000 limit — is unrelated to the amount of insurance which is available for any one product claim. Urmston Affidavit, 3/4/82. According to Liberty, any policy which includes products liability coverage has three limitations: a per person limit, a per accident limit and an aggregate limit. As a result, knowing only the aggregate limit does not reveal how much insurance is available for any one claim.
Plaintiff has submitted a “Statistical Data Card” obtained from Liberty’s files which summarizes information shown on the Liberty rate cards and policies. It reveals that in 1945 Emons’ limits were “50/150/150” ($50,000 per person, $150,000 *188per accident, $150,000 yearly aggregate), and “10/20/150” in 1949. No per person or per accident limits, however, are provided for the years 1951 through 1964. This lack of proof, urges Liberty, entitles it to summary judgment because Emons has the burden to prove all the terms and conditions of any coverage.
There is no dispute among the parties that the limits of any insurance coverage afforded Emons is governed by New York law.4 New York, like most jurisdictions, places upon plaintiff in an action based on an insurance contract the burden of proof to establish the existence of the policy sued upon and the provisions upon which the suit is based. Lapierre, Litchfield & Partners v. Continental Casualty Co., 59 Misc.2d 20, 23, 297 N.Y.S.2d 976, 979 (1969), modified on other grounds and affirmed, 32 A.D.2d 353, 302 N.Y.S.2d 370 (1st Dep't 1969). Liberty asserts that Emons may not rest on the proof it has presented but rather must show two crucial facts: first, that products liability coverage existed prior to 1964, and second, the specific limits of that coverage.
Liberty relies for support upon a case brought in the District Court for the District of Columbia, Keene Corporation v. Insurance Co. of North America, 513 F.Supp. 47, (D.C.D.C.1981) (Green, D. J.). See Defendant’s Exh. 4. In Keene, the plaintiff, a manufacturer of asbestos products, sought declaratory relief against several insurance carriers holding them obligated to defend and indemnify plaintiff in lawsuits brought against it by persons injured by plaintiff’s asbestos products. Similar to the circumstances in this case, the insurance policy in question was lost. Applying Pennsylvania law, the district court reasoned that “[the plaintiff] Keene bears the burden of proof to show by clear and convincing evidence that the insurance policies existed and covered these suits.” Slip op. at 1. The court concluded that Keene had not met this burden and granted summary judgment for the defendant.
Keene’s proof included index cards which showed that Keene was covered from 1948 to 1959 by a Comprehensive General Liability (“CGL”) policy issued by a Pennsylvania insurer. The standard policy forms used by the insurer stated that “the insurance afforded is only with respect to such and so many of the following coverages as are indicated by specific premium charge or charges.” See id. at 1-2. Evidently, not until 1955 did these policies include in its standard form a provision for products coverage. No direct proof existed, however, to show that Keene’s policies with the insurer included products liability coverage. In the face of this lack of proof, the defendant insurer presented proof that irrespective of the CGL forms used from 1948 to 1959, a separate premium charge is made for products liability and noted on the contracts declaration page. The defendant insurer presented a document which summarized the declarations page for the 1958-59 policy and which explicitly stated that products coverage was excluded. In light of this evidence the district court rejected Keene’s argument that because the standard CGL policies used by the defendant insurer sometimes made products liability coverage mandatory that the burden therefore shifted to the insurer to show that products liability coverage was explicitly excluded. On appeal summary judgment was upheld unless Keene could present additional evidence to show that it had products liability coverage. Keene v. Ins. Co. of North America, 672 F.2d 895 (D.C.Cir.1981). Defendants’ Exhibit 5.
In the case at bar, Emons’ proof of products liability coverage is more compelling than that presented by Keene, and Liberty’s proof in opposition is far less convincing than that of the insurer in Keene. The Stein affidavit submitted by Emons is evidence that not only did Liberty provide Emons with products liability insurance from 1945 to 1970 but also that the aggregate limit on such coverage was $150,000. *189Also, as earlier stated, Emons submitted a loss prevention survey completed in 1961 (Plaintiff’s Exhibit F) which discusses an increase in “present Product Liability coverage” up to “250/500,000.” Although this does not definitively pinpoint the amount of products liability coverage in existence pri- or to 1964, it is evidence which creates a material question of fact on the issue of coverage.
Liberty cannot rest upon its bald assertion that Emons carries the burden of proving any products liability coverage to obtain summary judgment. Liberty repeatedly argues that it cannot locate the comprehensive general policy in existence prior to 1964 and that there is no definite proof of there being a products liability coverage much less any proof of the limits to such coverage. Some evidence in the record exists, however, to establish not only that products liability coverage existed but also that the limits to such liability were within a certain range. Furthermore, New York law places the burden of proof upon the insurance company to show any exclusions. See Sincoff v. Liberty Mutual Fire Ins. Co., 11 N.Y.2d 386, 230 N.Y.S.2d 13, 183 N.E.2d 899 (1962); Danerhirsch v. Travelers Indemnity Co., 202 App.Div. 207, 195 N.Y.S. 110 (1st Dep’t 1922). The limitations on liability placed in question by Liberty may arguably be considered such an exclusion. Thus, although plaintiff’s proof is not so definitive to permit granting plaintiff’s cross-motion for summary judgment, it certainly creates material questions of fact dictating a denial of defendants’ motion for summary judgment.5
II.
I will now turn to Reserve’s motion for an order dismissing or staying this action as to them. Reserve is an Illinois insurance corporation subject to the supervision of the Illinois Department of Insurance. It insured Emons for products liability for one .year from November, 1970 to November, 1971. On May 29, 1979, an order of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, (Reserve’s Exh. A) found Reserve to be insolvent and placed it in liquidation pursuant to the Uniform Insurers Liquidation Act of Illinois, Ill.Rev.Stat. ch. 73, §§ 833.1-833.-13 (“Uniform Act”). That same court on May 16, 1979 had appointed the Director of Insurance of the State of Illinois as liquidator of Reserve. The Uniform Act, which has also been adopted by New York State,6 see N.Y.Ins.Law §§ 517 — 524 (McKinney 1966), provides that any claims against an insurance company in liquidation must be adjudicated in either the domiciliary state of the insurance company or in a state that has adopted the Uniform Act if an ancillary receiver has been appointed there.7 The *190Uniform Act serves the purpose of providing a “uniform, orderly and equitable method of making and processing claims against [a] defunct insurer .... ” Vlasatv v. Avco Rent-A-Car System, Inc., 60 Misc.2d 928, 930, 304 N.Y.S.2d 118, 120 (Sup.Ct.1969). Since Reserve is an Illinois insurer and an Illinois receiver has been appointed there, no suits against it may be entertained in New York unless a New York receiver has also been appointed. Unfortunately, no New York receiver has been appointed, and for this reason, Reserve has successfully requested courts to dismiss or stay actions brought against Reserve both before and after it went into receivership. See, e.g., G. C. Murphy Co. v. Reserve Ins. Co., 74 A.D.2d 235, 427 N.Y.S.2d 800 (1st Dep’t 1980), modified on other grounds and aff’d, 54 N.Y.2d 69, 444 N.Y.S.2d 592, 429 N.E.2d 111 (1981) (action stayed); Lopez v. Yosemite Ins. Co., Index No. 10020/1980, Sup.Ct. Kings Co., Oct. 30, 1980 (action dismissed); Deepdale General Hospital v. Reserve Ins. Co., Index No. 11304/1978, Sup.Ct. Queens Co., Dec. 20, 1980 (action stayed).
Emons has not submitted any response to Reserve’s instant motion. Liberty, however, has responded in the form of a motion for an order (i) striking Reserve’s answer because of Reserve’s failure to post a bond under N.Y.Ins.Law § 59-a and entering a default judgment on Liberty’s cross-claim against Reserve, or alternatively (ii) directing Reserve to file a bond.
Section 59-a of the New York Insurance Law provides a basis for jurisdiction to be obtained in New York courts over foreign insurers who are unauthorized to do business in New York but who nevertheless conduct business here.8 Reserve has never been licensed to do business in New York as an insurer although the policy with Emons was apparently entered into here. Section 59-a provides that “[bjefore any unauthorized foreign or alien insurer shall file or cause to be filed any pleading in any action ... against it, such unauthorized insurer shall either (i) deposit with the clerk of the court in which such action is pending, cash as securities or ... a bond ... in an amount sufficient to secure the payment of any final judgment .... ” N.Y.Ins.Law § 59-a(3). Thus, Section 59-a serves the purpose of protecting New Yorkers who are insured by unauthorized foreign insurers from the “often insuperable obstacle of resorting to distant forums for the purpose of asserting legal rights under such policies.” Id.
This lawsuit was commenced on July 1, 1975. Reserve answered on August 18, 1975. This answer contained a counterclaim against Emons, which has since been withdrawn, and a cross-claim against Liber*191ty. Liberty argues now that Reserve’s answer should be stricken. Pointing out that Reserve’s liquidation did not occur until May, 1979, after Reserve had actively involved itself in this litigation, Liberty urges that Reserve cannot now hide behind its receivership and avoid its obligations under the insurance laws and the purpose of Section 59-a to protect New York insureds.
Liberty’s arguments must be rejected. The New York Court of Appeals has recently held that where a claim is asserted in a New York action against a foreign insurer which is in receivership but where no ancillary receiver has been appointed in New York, that claim must be adjudicated in the insurer’s domiciliary state even though it is secured by an undertaking under Section 59-a of the Insurance Law. G. C. Murphy Co. v. Reserve Insurance Co., 54 N.Y.2d 69, 444 N.Y.S.2d 592, 429 N.E.2d 111 (1981). Thus, Liberty has no special right to proceed against a fund under Section 59-a where Reserve is in receivership. Here, Reserve has not made such a deposit in compliance with the statute. Nevertheless, it is apparent from the G. C. Murphy case that the New York Courts have placed great emphasis on the important policies underlying the Uniform Liquidation Act. In the words of New York State’s highest court,
We are not unmindful that the purpose of section 59-a of the Insurance Law is to provide New York residents with meaningful recourse to the courts of this State without having to pursue their claims against foreign unauthorized insurers in distant forums. Nonetheless, the Legislature has specifically provided that to the extent that provisions of the Uniform Insurers Liquidation Act, when applicable, conflict with other provisions of the Insurance Law, the provisions of the uniform act control. (Insurance Law, § 524, subd. 2.) We are also cognizant of the individual hardship suffered by the present plaintiff, who has been in the throes of litigation for the past seven years and now must pursue its claim in the distant forum of Illinois. By enacting the Uniform Insurers Liquidation Act, our Legislature has determined that such occasional instances of adversity are outweighed by the paramount interest of the various States in seeing that insurance companies domiciled within their respective boundaries are liquidated in a uniform, orderly and equitable manner without interference from external tribunals. (footnotes omitted)
Therefore, both Emon’s and Liberty’s claims against Reserve must be stayed.9 The consequences of Reserve’s noncompliance with Section 59-a will be addressed at such time as the stay can be lifted. Meanwhile, Liberty’s argument that despite the Uniform Act, Reserve’s answer should be stricken now is unavailing at this late date, nearly six years after the answer was filed.
Accordingly, Liberty’s motion to strike is denied subject to renewal at an appropriate time in the future. Also, Reserve’s motion for a stay pending liquidation proceedings is granted.
This case is to be placed on the Suspense Docket of this court.
SO ORDERED.
