(4)    It shall be a condition to recovery under the Computer Systems Rider that the Insured or its agent(s)shall to the best of their ability electronically record all voice instructions or advices received over telephone. The Insured or its agent(s) warrant that they shall make their best efforts to maintain the electronic recording system on a continuous basis. Nothing, however, in this Rider shall bar the Insured from recovery where no recording is available because of mechanical failure of the device used in making such recording, or because of failure of the media used to record conversation from any cause, or error or omission of any Employee(s) or agent(s) of the Insured.

2.    As used in this Rider, Computer System means:

4.    The following portions of the attached bond are not applicable to this Rider:

(b)  Section 9—NON-REDUCTION AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY
(c)  Section 10—LIMIT OF LIABILITY

5.    The Coverage afforded by this rider applies only to loss discovered by the Insured during the period this Rider is in force.

6.    All loss or series of losses involving the fraudulent activity of one individual, or involving fraudulent activity in which one individual is implicated, whether or not that individual is specifically identified, shall be treated as one loss.

The Underwriter shall refund to the Insured the unearned premium for this coverage under this Rider. The refund shall be computed at short rates if this Rider is terminated or cancelled or reduced by notice from, or at the instance of, the Insured.

11.    Section 4—LOSS-NOTICE-PROOF-LEGAL PROCEEDING of the Conditions and Limitations of this bond is amended by adding the following sentence:

‘‘Proof of Loss resulting from Voice Instructions or advices covered under this bond shall include Electronic Recording of such Voice Instructions or advices.’’




12.    Not withstanding the foregoing, however, coverage afforded by this Rider is not designed to provide protection against loss covered under a separate Electronic and Computer Crime Policy by whatever title assigned or by whatever Underwriter written. Any loss which is covered under such separate Policy is excluded from coverage under this bond; and the Insured agrees to make claim for such loss under its separate Policy.

13.    This rider shall become effective at 12:01 a.m. Standard time on

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
