"(2) Insurance may be provided pursuant to this subsection only to the extent that it cannot be obtained on reasonable terms and conditions from companies authorized to do an insurance business in any State of the United States and to the extent that it cannot be obtained from any agency of the United States Government providing marine or air war-risk insurance. "(3) I n providing insurance pursuant to this subsection, the Bank may reinsure in whole or in part any company authorized to do an insurance business in any State of the United States or may employ any such company or group of companies to act as its underwriting agent in the issuance of such insurance and the adjustment of claims arising thereunder. " (4) Subject to the limitations herein provided, the Bank shall from time to time determine the terms and conditions under which it will provide insurance pursuant to this subsection: Provided, however, That such insurance shall be based, insofar as practicable, upon consideration of the risk involved: And provided further, That the term of coverage of any such insurance shall not exceed one year, subject to renewal or extension from time to time for periods of not exceeding one year as may be determined by the Bank." SEC. 2. Section 7 of the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended, is amended by substituting in lieu of the words "loans and guaranties" the words "loans, guaranties, and insurance".
