Insuring Clause

Loss which would have been paid under the Primary Bond but for the fact the loss exceeds the Deductible Amount.

Coverage under this bond shall follow the terms and conditions of the Primary Bond, except with respect to:

a. The coverage exceptions in ITEM 6. of the DECLARATIONS; and

b. The limits of liability as stated in ITEM 2. and ITEM 3. of the DECLARATIONS.

With respect to the exceptions stated above, the provisions of this bond shall apply.

General Agreements

Change Or Modification Of Primary Bond

A. If after the inception date of this bond the Primary Bond is changed or modified, written notice of any such change or modification shall be given to the COMPANY as soon as practicable, not to exceed thirty (30) days after such change or modification, together with such information as the COMPANY may request. There shall be no coverage under this bond for any loss related to such change or modification until such time as the COMPANY is advised of and specifically agrees by written endorsement to provide coverage for such change or modification.

Representations Made By Assured

B. The ASSURED represents that all information it has furnished to the COMPANY for this bond or otherwise is complete, true and correct. Such information constitutes part of this bond.

The ASSURED must promptly notify the COMPANY of any change in any fact or circumstance which materially affects the risk assumed by the COMPANY under this bond.

Any misrepresentation, omission, concealment or incorrect statement of a material fact by the ASSURED to the COMPANY shall be grounds for recision of this bond.

Notice To Company Of Legal Proceedings Against Assured - Election To Defend

C. The ASSURED shall notify the COMPANY at the earliest practical moment, not to exceed thirty (30) days after the ASSURED receives notice, of any legal proceeding brought to determine the ASSURED’S liability for any loss, claim or damage which, if established, would constitute a collectible loss under this bond or any of the Underlying Bonds. Concurrent with such notice, and as requested thereafter, the ASSURED shall furnish copies of all pleadings and pertinent papers to the COMPANY.

If the COMPANY elects to defend all or part of any legal proceeding, the court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the COMPANY and any settlement or judgment on that part defended by the COMPANY shall be a loss under this bond. The COMPANY’S liability for court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in defending all of part of such legal proceeding is limited to the proportion of such court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred that the amount recoverable under this bond bears to the amount demanded in such legal proceeding.

If the COMPANY declines to defend the ASSURED, no settlement without the prior written consent of the COMPANY or judgment against the ASSURED shall determine the existence, extent or amount of coverage under this BOND, and the COMPANY shall not be liable for any costs, fees and expenses incurred by the ASSURED.

Conditions And Limitations

Definitions

1. As used in this bond:

a. Deductible Amount means the amount stated in ITEM 4. of the DECLARATIONS. In no event shall this Deductible Amount be reduced for any reason, including but not limited to, the non-existence, invalidity, insufficiency or uncollectibility of any of the Underlying Bonds, including the insolvency or dissolution of any Insurer providing coverage under any of the Underlying Bonds.

b. Primary Bond means the bond scheduled in ITEM 5. of the DECLARATIONS or any bond that may replace or substitute for such bond.

c. Single Loss means all covered loss, including court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the COMPANY under General Agreement C., resulting from:

(1) any one act of burglary, robbery or attempt either, in which no employee of the ASSURED is implicated, or

(2) any one act or series of related acts on the part of any person resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of property, or

(3) all acts other than those specified in c.(1) and c.(2), caused by any person or in which such person is implicated, or

(4) any one event not specified above, in c.(1), c.(2) or c.(3).

2. The COMPANY’S total cumulative liability for all Single Losses of all ASSUREDS discovered during the BOND PERIOD shall not exceed the AGGREGATE LIMIT OF LIABILITY as stated in ITEM 2. of the DECLARATIONS. Each payment made under the terms of this bond shall reduce the unpaid portion of the AGGREGATE LIMIT OF LIABILITY until it is exhausted.

On exhausting the AGGREGATE LIMIT OF LIABILITY by such payments:

a. the COMPANY shall have no further liability for loss or losses regardless of when discovered and whether or not previously reported to the COMPANY, and

b. the COMPANY shall have no obligation under General Agreement C. to continue the defense of the ASSURED, and on notice by the COMPANY to the ASSURED that the AGGREGATE LIMIT OF LIABILITY has been exhausted, the ASSURED shall assume all responsibility for its defense at its own cost.

The unpaid portion of the AGGREGATE LIMIT OF LIABILITY shall not be increased or reinstated by any recovery made and applied in accordance with Section 4. In the event that a loss of property is settled by indemnity in lieu of payment, then such loss shall not reduce the unpaid portion of the AGGREGATE LIMIT OF LIABILITY.

Single Loss Limit Of Liability

The COMPANY’S liability for each Single Loss shall not exceed the SINGLE LOSS LIMIT OF LIABILITY as stated in ITEM 3. of the DECLARATIONS or the unpaid portion of the AGGREGATE LIMIT OF LIABILITY, whichever is less.

Discovery

3. This bond applies only to loss first discovered by the ASSURED during the BOND PERIOD. Discovery occurs at the earlier of the ASSURED being aware of:

a. facts which may subsequently result in a loss of a type covered by this bond, or

b. an actual or potential claim in which it is alleged that the ASSURED is liable to a third party, regardless of when the act or acts causing or contributing to such loss occurred, even though the amount of loss does not exceed the applicable Deductible Amount, or the exact amount or details of loss may not then be known.

Subrogation-Assignment-Recovery

4. In the event of a payment under this bond, the COMPANY shall be subrogated to all of the ASSURED’S rights of recovery against any person or entity to the extent of such payments. On request, the ASSURED shall deliver to the COMPANY an assignment of the ASSURED’S rights, title and interest and causes of action against any person or entity to the extent of such payment.

Recoveries, whether effected by the COMPANY or by the ASSURED, shall be applied net of the expense of such recovery, 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 AGGREGATE LIMIT OF LIABILITY, second, to the COMPANY in satisfaction of amounts paid in settlement of the ASSURED’S claim and third, to the ASSURED in satisfaction of the DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT. Recovery from reinsurance and/or indemnity of the COMPANY shall not be deemed a recovery under this Section.

a. submit to examination by the COMPANY and subscribe to the same under oath, and

b. produce for the COMPANY’S examination all pertinent records, and

c. cooperate with the COMPANY in all matters pertaining to the loss.

The ASSURED shall execute all papers and render assistance to secure to the COMPANY the rights and causes of action provided for under this bond. The ASSURED shall do nothing after loss to prejudice such rights or causes of action.

f. immediately on expiration of the BOND PERIOD, or

g. immediately on cancellation, termination or recision of the Primary Bond.

Change Or Modification Of This Bond

You are hereby notified that, under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the “Act”) effective November 26, 2002, this policy makes available to you insurance for losses arising out of certain acts of international terrorism. Terrorism is defined as any act certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier or vessel or the premises of a United States Mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest, as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.

You should know that the insurance provided by your policy for losses caused by acts of terrorism is partially reimbursed by the United States under the formula set forth in the Act. Under this formula, the United States pays 90% of covered terrorism losses that

exceed the statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. The portion of your policy’s annual premium that is attributable to insurance for such acts of terrorism is: $ -0-.
