OPINION AND ORDER
JOHN G. KOELTL, District Judge:
The petitioner, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA. (“National, Union”), on behalf of itself and its related insurers has petitioned to compel the Seneca Family of Agencies (“Seneca”) to arbitrate a dispute pursuant to the Federal Arbitration,Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 4. National Union has also moved for a preliminary injunction to prevent Seneca from pursuing a state court action in California. The underlying dispute in this case involves a disagreement over the amount of .collateral that Seneca is required to deliver under a payment agreement (the “Payment Agreement”) with National Union that governs certain obligations related to a series of California Workers’ Compensation/Employers’ Liability Insurance policies (the “Policies”) also issued by National Union.
National Union alleges subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C, § 1332(a)(1).
I.
The following facts are taken from the parties’ submissions.
National Union is a Pennsylvania insurance company with its principal place of business in New York. Pet. ¶ 4. Seneca is a [483]*483California corporation with its principal place of business in California. Pet. ¶ 5.
National Union provided Seneca with workers’ compensation and employers’ liability insurance for Seneca’s operations in California pursuant to the Policies, which were entered into each year from 2004 to 2013. Pet. ¶ 2; DeHaven Decl., Ex. 4 (Schedules of Policies and Payments). Each Policy was effective for a one-year period.
On November 1, 2004, the parties entered into the Payment Agreement, which governs the parties’ financing and credit obligations with respect to the Policies. Pet. ¶¶ 8-9; see, e.g„ DeHaven Decl., Ex, 1 (The November 1, 2004 Payment Agreement) at 3, 6. Among other things, the Payment Agreement requires Seneca to deliver collateral to National Union to secure Seneca’s payment obligations. Pet. ¶¶ 8,10; see, e.g., DeHaven Deck, Ex. 1 at 6.
The November 1, 2004 Payment Agreement required arbitration to decide disputes. The Payment Agreement’s arbitration provisions (the “Arbitration Provisions”) provided that “any dispute[]” related to the amount of Seneca’s payment obligations and “[a]ny other unresolved dispute arising out of [the Payment] Agreement must be submitted to arbitration.” DeHaven Deck, Ex. 1 at 8. The Arbitration Provisions included an arbi-tral forum provision that left the determination of the arbitral forum to the arbitrators and a delegation provision (the “Delegation Provision”) that provided that the arbitrators would “have exclusive jurisdiction over the entire matter in dispute, including any question as to its arbitrability.” DeHaven Deck, Ex. 1 at 9.
The Payment Agreement also contained provisions contemplating court resolution for disputes with respect to “How arbitrators must be chosen,” with a litigation forum selection clause (the “Litigation Forum Selection Clause”) designating certain New York courts as the. forum for the resolution of disputes related to that subject. DeHaven Deck, Ex. 1 at 8. Specifically, the Payment Agreement provided that, in the event of arbitration, each party was to choose one arbitrator, who together would then choose a third. The three arbitrators would be the arbitral panel. However, if the first two arbitrators could not select the third arbitrator, then either party could make an application to a “Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County” to ' select the additional arbitrator,1 DeHaven Deck, Ex. 1 at 8.
The parties amended, the Payment Agreement through “mandatory addenda” in 2009, 2011, and 2013. See DeHaven Deck, Ex. 2 (The 2009 Addendum); DeHa-ven Deck, Ex. 5 (The 2011 Addendum); DeHaven Deck, Ex. 3 (The 2013 Addendum). The- provision in the Litigation Forum Selection Clause relating to the court-appointment of the third arbitrator was amended to provide that the parties could “make an application only to a court of competent jurisdiction in the City, County, and State of New York.” DeHaven Deck, Ex. 3 § 7. And, as relevant to this case, the parties added the following provision to the Clause in the 2013 Addendum: “any action or proceeding concerning arbitrability, including motions to compel or to stay arbitration, may be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction in the City, County, and State of New York.” DeHaven Deck, Ex. 3 § 7.
[484]*484II.
Seneca argues that subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1) is lacking because the amount in controversy is not in excess of $75,000. The argument is frivolous. The Petition alleges that the amount in controversy is in excess of $75,000. Pet. ¶ 6. The amount-in-controversy “burden is hardly onerous” and there is “a rebuttable presumption that the face of the complaint is a good faith representation of the actual amount in controversy.” Scherer v. Equitable Life Assurance Soc’y of U.S., 347 F.3d 394, 397 (2d Cir. 2003) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). Seneca has offered no support to suggest that the amount-in-controversy allegation was not made in good faith. See id. (“To overcome the face-of-the-complaint presumption, the party opposing jurisdiction must show ‘to a legal certainty1 that the amount recoverable does not meet the jurisdictional threshold.” (citation omitted)). To the contrary, as reflected in the Complaint in the California Action (the “California Complaint”), at stake in this dispute is nearly $1 million in collateral, years-worth of premiums, and statutory and common law damages. See Ex. 6 ¶¶ 34, 39. The amount-in-controversy is plainly satisfied.
III.
National Union has petitioned to compel arbitration pursuant to § 4 of the FAA.
A.
Seneca argues that, with respect to its claims related to any workers’ compensation policies issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2012 (the “Post-July 2012 Policies”), recently-enacted (and little-interpreted) Cal. Ins. Code § 11658.5 overcomes the normal presumption under the FAA in favor of enforcing arbitration agreements according to their terms. Section 11658.5(a)(1) provides:
An insurer that intends to use a dispute resolution or arbitration agreement to resolve disputes arising in California out of a workers’ compensation insurance policy or endorsement issued to a California employer shall disclose to the employer, contemporaneously with any written quote that offers to provide insurance coverage, that choice of law and choice of venue or forum may be a jurisdiction other than California and that these terms are negotiable between the insurer and the employer. The disclosure shall be signed by the employer as evidence of receipt where the employer accepts the offer of coverage from that insurer.
If an insurer complies with § 11658.5(a)(1), then “a dispute resolution or arbitration agreement may be negotiated by the insurer and the employer before any dispute arises.” § 11658.5(a)(2). The section only applies to agreements with “California employers” as defined in § 11658.5(d). The parties agree that Seneca is a California employer. By its terms, § 11658.5 applies to “workers’ compensation policies issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2012.” § 11658.5(e).
National Union concedes that § 11658.5 applies to the Post-July 2012 Policies and that the Arbitration Provisions in the Payment Agreement constitute an “arbitration agreement” for purposes of § 11658.5. National Union also concedes that it did not comply with § 11658.5(a)(l)’s disclosure requirements, see Nat. Union’s Reply Mem. at 7-8, which triggers the section’s enforcement provision,' § 11658.5(c): “Failure by the insurer to observe the requirements of subdivision (a) shall result in a default to California as the choice of law and forum for resolution of disputes aris[485]*485ing in California.” § 11658.5(c) (emphasis added).
The parties agree that “forum” as used in § 11658.5 refers to California in a geographical sense, while “venue” is meant to refer to any place within California. The statute is unclear whether noncompliance with § 11658.5, which occurred in this case, requires only that any arbitration be held in California; or that any litigation relating to the arbitration must be held in California, and, perhaps, that the only “forum” for a dispute will be á California court rather than an arbitration.
National Union argues that the penalty for noneompliance under § 11658.5(c) is that “arbitration must be conducted in California under California law.” Nat. Union’s Reply Mem. at 1-2. National Union argues, however, that § 11658.5 does not affect the ability of a court outside California to compel arbitration. Seneca responds that the' resolution of any dispute, including a motion to compel arbitration, must occur in a California court (and not in ah arbitration).
Ordinarily, the effect of § 11658.5 on arbitration would not require extensive analysis. To the extent that § 11658.5 disfavored. arbitration, the FAA would preempt the state law. Kindred Nursing Centers Ltd. P’ship v. Clark, — U.S. -, 137 S.Ct. 1421, 1426, 197 L.Ed.2d 806 (2017); see also Rent-A-Ctr., W., Inc. v. Jackson, 561 U.S. 63, 68, 130 S.Ct. 2772, 177 L.Ed.2d 403 (2010) (“The FAA ... requires courts to enforce [arbitration agreements] according to their terms.”).
However, under the McCarran-Ferguson Act, 15 U.S.C. 1011 et seq., any state statute that regulates the “business of insurance” reverse-preempts any. federal statute'that does not specifically regulate the business of insurance. See Stephens v. Am. Int’l Ins. Co., 66 F.3d 41, 43 (2d Cir. 1995) (holding that anti-arbitration provisions in Kentucky insurance statute regulating the liquidation of insurance companies reverse-preempted the FAA).
Section 1012 of the McCarran-Ferguson Act provides in relevant part: “No Act of Congress shall be construed to invalidate, impair, or supersede any law enacted by any State for the purpose of regulating the business of insurance, or which imposes a fee or tax upon such business, unless such Act specifically relates to the business of insurance ....”
Courts apply a three-part test to determine if a state statute reverse-preempts a federal statute under the McCarran-Ferguson Act: whether “(1) the federal statute in question does not specifically relate to insurance; ’ (2) the state law at issue was enacted to regulate the business of insurance; and (3) the federal statute at issue would invalidate, impair, or supersede the state law.” Monarch Consulting, Inc. v. Nat’l Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburgh, PA, 26 N.Y.3d 659,47 N.E.3d 463, 470 (2016).2
National Union does not dispute that all three elements are met here. And rightly so.
[486]*486First, the FAA does not specifically relate to insurance, E.g., Am. Int’l Ins. Co., 66 F.3d. at 44; Monarch, 47 N.E.3d at 470.
Second, § 11658.5 was enacted to regulate the business-of insurance. State statutes that regulate the terms, actual performance, or' enforcement of insurance contracts for the protection of policyholders are among those enacted to regulate the. business of insurance. See U.S. Dep’t of Treasury v. Fabe, 508 U.S. 491, 501-05, 113 S.Ct. 2202, 124 L.Ed.2d 449 (1993). There can be no doubt that § 11658.5 — by regulating disclosures related to, and the enforcement of, workers’ compensation policies — was enacted for the protection of California-policyholders. 2011 Cal. Legis. Serv. Ch. .566' (S.B. 684) (stating that “[w]orkers compensation policies and endorsements are highly regulated and designed primarily to protect- the worker and ensure prompt payment of claims” and that one of the goals of § 11658.5 was to avoid “undermining the protections afforded to California employers under California law”); see also Monarch, 47 N.E.3d at 471 (noting that California courts have consistently found the FAA to be reverse-preempted by the MeCarran-Ferguson Act with respect to arbitration agreements in health care service plans governed by a California statute requiring disclosures of arbitration agreements in health care plans).
Third, the question becomes whether the FAA would invalidate, impair, or supersede § 11658.5. See Humana Inc. v. Forsyth, 525 U.S. 299, 307-310, 119 S.Ct. 710, 142 L.Ed.2d 753 (1999) (defining “invalidate” to mean to “render ineffective, generally without providing a replacement rule or law”; “supersede” to mean to “displace (and thus render ineffective) while providing a substitute rule”; and “impair” to mean “to weaken, to make worse, to lessen in power, diminish, or relax, or otherwise affect in an injurious manner”). There is a direct conflict between § 4 of the FAA and § 11658.5 when, as here, the insurance company admits that the section has been violated. Section 11658.5(c) requires. that California must be the “forum for resolution of disputes arising in California.” National Union concedes'that this means, at least, that the arbitration must be conducted in California. But, under § 4 of the FAA, this Court, and any United States district court' in which a petition to compel arbitration is brought, can only order that the arbitration be held in the district where the petition is filed. It would be contrary to § 4 to order the arbitration to proceed in California. See also In re Home Ins. Co., 908 F.Supp. 180, 182 (S.D.N.Y. 1995) (collecting cases). Therefore, § 4 of the FAA must yield to § 11658.5. Accordingly, this Court should deny without prejudice National Union’s motion to compel arbitration, concerning the post-July 2012 Policies.
The conclusion that § 4 of the FAA conflicts with § 11658.5 is consistent with the interpretation of § 11658.5(c) by California state courts that “dispute resolution” as used in that section applies to litigation. See, e.g., Relton Corp. v Applied Underwriters, EC066066 (Cal. Cty. Ct. April, 7, 2017) (unreported) at 1, 3 (ruling that- a Nebraska litigation forum selection clause ‘ was ineffective pursuant to § 11658.5).3 California state courts have [487]*487thus found that, in enacting § 11658.5, the California legislature was concerned that other types of “dispute resolution” proceedings related to workers’ compensation disputes, such as litigation, would occur outside of California. The present dispute before this Court is a dispute resolution proceeding, namely, a litigation over the arbitrability of the claims with respect to the Post-July 2012 Policies. It is consistent with the statutory goals underlying § 11658.5 that the questions of whether Seneca’s claims must be arbitrated, and whether § 11658.5 permits arbitration, be addressed in the first instance by a court in California; this Court should not decide the matter.
Because National Union has conceded that the Payment Agreement is subject to § 11658.5 and that it did not comply with § 11658.5, the petition to compel arbitration is denied without prejudice with respect to the Post-July 2012 Policies.
B.
Seneca argues that the Litigation Forum Selection Clause is unenforceable under Cal. Ins. Code § 11658 with respept to all of the Policies. Section 11658 requires insurers to file workers’ compensation forms and endorsements with the California insurance regulator before issuing them to insureds. Seneca argues that this was not done and therefore that the Litigation Forum Selection Clause is invalid.
Initially, National Union argues that the enforceability of the Litigation Forum' Selection Clause should be referred to the arbitrators in the first instance. However, courts have concluded that the interpretation, enforceability, and validity of litigation forum selection clauses present questions of litagability for the courts that is antecedent (and unrelated) to the merits of an action (and thus to any questions as to the existence of an.agreement to arbitrate arbitrability or the scope of that agreement). See, e.g., Arbitration Between Nat’l Union Fire Ins. Co. v. Pers. Plus, Inc., 954 F.Supp.2d 239, 246-48 (S.D.N.Y. 2013); Israel v. Chabra, No. 04 CIV. 4599, 2005 WL 589400, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 11, 2005) (“[Litigation] forum selection clauses are to be enforced by the courts.”).
While the validity of the Litigation Forum Selection Clause is an initial matter for this Court, that does not aid Seneca because its challenge is without merit. •
Assessing the validity and enforceability of forum selection cjauses involves a four-part analysis: First, “whether the .clause.was reasonably communicated to the party resisting enforcement”; second, “whether the clause [was] mandatory or permissive”; third, “whether the claims and parties involved in the suit are subject to the forum selection clause”; and, fourth, “whether the resisting party has rebutted the presumption of enforceability by making a sufficiently strong showing that enforcement would be unreasonable or unjust, or that the clause was invalid for such reasons as fraud or overreaching.” Phillips v. Audio Active, Ltd., 494 F.3d 378, 383-84 (2d Cir. 2007) (internal quotation marks omitted).
The court in Pers, Plus, Inc., 954 F.Supp.2d 239, rejected a nearly identical challénge based on' § 11658 to an identical litigation forum selection clause arid to similar arbitration provisions in a materially similar payment agreement issued by National Union, ruling that' both sets of provisions were enforceable. Seneca offers no basis to distinguish that decision, which is on point. ■
[488]*488First, “the [Litigation Forum Selection Clause] was clearly communicated in the Payment Agreement, as the relatively short agreement sets forth the [Clause] under the bold-faced and capitalized heading, ‘How Will 'Disagreements Be Resolved? Arbitration Procedures’ and specifies that disagreements -can be brought ‘only to a court of competent jurisdiction in the City, County, and State of New York.’ ” Id. at 246.
.Second, the Litigation Forum Selection Clause is mandatory because it provides that any motion to compel or stay arbitration may be brought “only” in a court in New York. Id.
" Third, the dispute at issue — whether to compel arbitration over disputes related to the Payment Agreement — is' plainly contemplated by the Litigation Forum Selection Clause. See id. at 246-47.
Fourth, Seneca’s only challenge against the Litigation Forum Selection Clause is that the Payment Agreement as a whole is void and unenforceable in violation of § 11658. To challenge successfully a forum selection clause as void on the basis of illegality, the challenge must be directed against the forum selection clause itself, as opposed to the contract as a whole. See, e.g., Dollar Phone Access, Inc. v. AT & T Inc., No. 14-CV-3240 (SLT), 2015 WL 430286, at *8 (E.D.N.Y. Feb. 2, 2015); Rucker v. Oasis Legal Fin., L.L.C., 632 F.3d 1231, 1238 (11th Cir. 2011); Muzumdar v. Wellness Int’l Network, Ltd., 438 F.3d 759, 762 (7th Cir. 2006). The failure to challenge the Litigation Forum Selection Clause itself is fatal.
In an effort to salvage .its claim, Seneca asserts that it is only, in fact, challenging the enforceability of the Litigation Forum Selection Clause. The argument is without merit because Seneca is plainly .challenging the entire Payment Agreement. Seneca’s allegations in the California Complaint make that- point clear, as does the- relief Seneca seeks in that Action. See Ex. 6 •¶¶ 26, 28, 38. Therefore, the Litigation Forum Selection Clause is enforceable.
C.
Any claims related to any Policies issued or renewed before July 1, 2012 (the “Pre-July 2012 Policies”) must be arbitrated. “The [FAA] requires the federal courts to enforce arbitration agreements, reflecting Congress’ recognition that arbitration is to be encouraged as a means of reducing the costs and delays associated with litigation.” Vera v. Saks & Co., 335 F.3d 109, 116 (2d Cir. 2003) (per curiam) (citation omitted). In accordance with FAA, district courts may compel arbitration when a party does hot abide by an arbitration agreement.
When considering a petition to compel arbitration under the FAA, a court must determine: “(1) whether there exists a valid agreement to arbitrate at all under the contract in question ... and if so, (2) whether the particular dispute sought to be arbitrated falls within the scope of the arbitration agreement.” Hartford Accident and Indem. Co. v. Swiss Reinsurance Am. Corp., 246 F.3d 219, 226 (2d Cir. 2001) (citation and internal quotation omitted). Whether an agreement to arbitrate governs a particular dispute is essentially a matter of contract interpretation. See Collins & Aikman Prods. Co. v. Bldg. Sys., Inc., 58 F.3d 16, 19 (2d Cir. 1995). While parties are not required to arbitrate when they have not agreed to do. so, see Volt Info. Sci., Inc. v. Bd. of Trs. of Leland Stanford Junior Univ., 489 U.S. 468, 478, 109 S.Ct. 1248, 103 L.Ed.2d 488 (1989), they are bound by provisions to which they have agreed. See Genesco, Inc. v. T. Kakiuchi & Co., Ltd., 815 F.2d 840, 845 (2d Cir. 1987); see also Nat’l Union Fire Ins. Co. v. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., No. 16-CV-[489]*4895699 (JGK), 2016 WL 4204066, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 4, 2016).
The court in Pers. Plus, Inc., 954 F.Supp.2d at 247-48, held that materially similar claims must be arbitrated pursuant to materially similar arbitration provisions. This Court' in Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 2016 WL 4204066, at *1-2, and the New York Court of Appeals in Monarch, 47 N.E.3d at 475, reached the same conclusion in nearly identical cases.
With respect to the Pre-July 2012 Policies, Seneca offers no basis to distinguish these cases.4 Seneca does not dispute that it agreed to the Payment Agreement, including the Arbitration Provisions. Nor does Seneca dispute that the Arbitration Provisions contemplate that the claims brought in the California Action must be arbitrated, or that the Arbitration Provisions are unambiguous. Seneca does not argue that § 11658 forecloses arbitration through reverse-preemption of the FAA, an argument that courts have rejected in any event because § 11658 does not conflict with the FAA. See Pers. Plus, Inc., 954 F.Supp.2d at 248; Monarch 47 N.E.3d at 473.
Instead, Seneca’s primary argument against arbitration is that the Payment Agreement (and thus all of its provisions, including the Arbitration Provisions) was not filed with the California insurance regulator and is therefore unenforceable under § 11658. This challenge founders for the same reasons discussed in connection with the challenge to the Litigation Forum Selection Clause, because “[c]hallenges to the. enforceability of an entire agreement that contains an arbitration clause, as opposed to a challenge to the arbitration clause itself, are. to be considered by the arbitrator in the first instance.” Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 2016 WL 4204066, at *3 (citation omitted).
As with its challenge to the Litigation Forum Selection Clause, Seneca asserts that it is only, in fact, challenging the enforceability of the Arbitration Provisions; including, the-Delegation Provision. That claim is without merit for the reasons already discussed.
Seneca and National Union have an agreement to arbitrate. The claims related to the Pre-July 2012 Policies plainly fall within the scope of that arbitration agreement. “A party can be deemed to have refused arbitration by filing a lawsuit on a matter that comes within the scope of the arbitration clause.” Nat’l Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburgh v. Konvalinka, No. 10-cv-9355 (AKH), 2011 WL 13070859, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 17, 2011) (citations omitted). Seneca has refused to abide, by its agreement, which warrants granting National Union’s petition to compel arbitration under 9 U.S.C. § 4. See Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 2016 WL 4204066, at *4.
The petition to compel arbitration is granted with respect to any claims related to the Pre-July 2012 Policies.5
[490]*490IV.
National Union has met the requirements for a preliminary ' injunction enjoining Seneca from proceeding'further in the California Action with respect to any claims related to the Pre-July 2012 Policies. i “A party seeking a preliminary injunction ordinarily must show: (1) a likelihood of irreparable harm in the absence of the injunction; and (2) either a likelihood of success on the merits or sufficiently serious questions going to the merits to make them a fair ground for litigation, with a balance of hardships tipping decidedly in the movant’s favor.” Doninger v. Niehoff, 527 F.3d 41, 47 (2d Cir. 2008).
Seneca, makes no argument against the preliminary injunction in the event the motion to compel arbitration is granted.
Losing the ability to enforce an arbitration agreement is a form of irreparable harm. See, e.g., Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 2016 WL 4204066, at *5 (collecting cases). National Union has also shown a likelihood of success because it has shown that it has a dispute with Seneca that should be decided by an arbitral panel. Id. The request for "a preliminary injunction enjoining Seneca from proceeding with the California Action with respect to any claims on the Pre-July 2012 Policiés is granted.
With respect to any claims on the Post-July 2012 Policies, the application is denied because Seneca may proceed with the California litigation. Seneca has held the California Action in abeyance to preserve National Union’s. right to arbitrate those claims, which has not been foreclosed by this decision. National Union may raise the issu,e of arbitrability before the state court in California where, the action is pending, or before a federal court in California.
CONCLUSION
The foregoing constitutes the Court’s Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. The Court has considered ¡all'of the arguments of the parties. To the extent not specifically addressed above, the parties’ arguments are either moot or without merit. National Union’s petition :to compel arbitration, and its motion to enjoin Seneca during the pendency of the arbitration from proceeding with the California Action, are granted with respect to any claims related to the Pre-July 2012 Policies. National Union’s motion to compel arbitration with respect to any claims related to the Post-July 2012 Policies is denied without prejudice, and its motion to enjoin Seneca from proceeding with the California- Action with respect to those claims is denied. The Clerk of Court is directed to close all pending motions.
SO ORDERED.
