HOW  TO REPORT LOSSES, CLAIMS, OR POTENTIAL CLAIMS TO TRAVELERS                                                                                                                                                         


 

Reporting new  losses,  claims,  or  potential claims promptly can be critical. It helps to resolve covered losses  or  claims as quickly as possible and often reduces the overall cost. Prompt reporting:
 
      better protects the interests of all  parties;
      helps Travelers to try to resolve losses  or  claims more quickly;  and
 
often reduces the overall cost of a loss or  claim - losses  or  claims reported more than five days  after they happen  cost on average 35% more than those reported earlier.
 

Report losses, claims, or potential claims to Travelers easily and quickly by fax, US  mail, or email.

SECTION 4.     LOSS    -    NOTICE   -    PROOF   -   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 

This  bond  is  for  the  use  and  benefit  only  of  the Insured named    in    the    Declarations    and    the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss sustained  by  anyone other  than  the  Insured unless the Insured, in its sole discretion  and  at its option, shall include such loss in the Insured's proof  of loss. At the earliest practicable  moment after discovery  of any   loss   hereunder   the   Insured   shall   give   the

 
Underwriter  written  notice  thereof  and  shall  also within six months after such discovery furnish to the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars.   If claim is made under this bond for loss of securities or shares, the Underwriter shall not be liable unless each of such securities or shares is identified  in  such  proof  of  loss  by  a  certificate  or bond number or, where such securities or shares are uncertificated, by such identification means as agreed to by the Underwriter. The Underwriter shall have thirty days after notice and proof of loss within which to investigate the claim,  but where the loss is clear and  undisputed,  settlement  shall  be  made  within forty-eight hours; and this shall apply notwithstanding the loss is made up wholly or in part of securities of which  duplicates  may  be  obtained.       Legal proceedings for recovery of  any  loss hereunder shall not be brought  prior  to the expiration of  sixty days after such proof of loss is filed with the Underwriter nor after the expiration of  twenty-four months from the discovery of such loss, except that any action or proceedings to recover hereunder on account of any judgment against the Insured in any  suit mentioned in General Agreement C or to recover attorneys' fees paid in any such suit, shall be begun within twenty- four months from the date upon which the judgment in such suit shall become final.   If any limitation embodied in this bond is prohibited by any law controlling  the  construction  hereof,  such  limitation shall be deemed to be amended so as to be equal to the minimum period of limitation permitted by such law.
 

Discovery occurs when the Insured:

(b)  receives  written   notice   of   an   actual   or potential claim by a third party which alleges thatthe     Insured     is      liable      under circumstances,

which  would  cause  a  reasonable  person  to  assume that a loss covered by the bond has been or will be incurred even though the exact amount or details of loss may not be then known.
 

SECTION 5.     VALUATION OF PROPERTY

rights, or other securities, the production of which is necessary to the exercise of subscription, conversion, redemption  or  deposit  privileges,  the  value  thereof shall  be  the  market  value  of  such  privileges immediately preceding  the expiration thereof if  said loss  or  misplacement  is  not  discovered  until  after their  expiration.    If  no  market  price  is  quoted for such Property  or for such privileges, the value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties or by arbitration.

In case of any loss or damage to Property consisting of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured  in  the  conduct  of  its  business,  the Underwriter shall  be liable under this bond  only  if such  books  or  records  are  actually  reproduced  and then for not more than the cost of blank books, blank pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the actual  transcription  or  copying  of  data  which  shall have been furnished by the Insured in order to reproduce such books and other records.

If   the   Underwriter  shall   make   payment   to   the Insured for any loss of securities, the Insured shall thereupon  assign   to   the   Underwriter  all   of   the Insured's rights, title and interest in and to said securities.

With respect to securities the value of which do not exceed the Deductible Amount (at the time of the discovery  of the loss) and for which the Underwriter may  at  its  sole  discretion  and  option  and  at  the request of the Insured issue a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds  to effect  replacement thereof, the Insured will pay the usual premium charged therefor and will indemnify the Underwriter against all loss or expense that the Underwriter may sustain because of the issuance of such Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds.

1.      Special Rule for Elected Officials of Governmental Units
 

If any Insured is an elected official of a governmental unit, this policy may not be terminated or non-renewed solely because such Insured is an elected official.
 

2.      It is agreed that SECTION 4. LOSS - NOTICE - PROOF - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS is replaced by the following:
 

This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured named in the Declarations and the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured unless the Insured, in its sole discretion and at its option, shall include such loss in the Insured's proof of loss. At the earliest practicable moment after discovery of any loss hereunder the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice thereof and shall also within six months after such discovery furnish to the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars. If claim is made under this bond for loss of securities or shares, the Underwriter shall not be liable unless each of such securities or shares is identified in such proof of loss by a certificate or bond number or, where such securities or shares are uncertificated, by such identification means as agreed to by the
Underwriter. The Underwriter shall have thirty days after notice and proof of loss within which to investigate the claim, but where the loss is clear and undisputed, settlement shall be made within forty-eight hours; and  this shall apply notwithstanding the loss is made up wholly or in part of securities of which duplicates may be obtained. Legal proceedings for the recovery of any loss hereunder shall not be brought prior to the expiration of sixty (60) days after the original proof of loss is filed with the Underwriter or after the expiration of twenty- eight (28) months from the date the original proof of loss is due to be furnished to the Underwriter. If any limitation embodied in this bond is prohibited by any law controlling the construction hereof, such limitation shall be deemed to be amended so as to be equal to the minimum period of limitation permitted by such law.
 

Discovery occurs when the Insured:
 

(a)   becomes aware of facts, or
 

(b)    receives written notice of an actual or potential claim by a third party which alleges that the Insured is liable under circumstances, which would cause a reasonable person to assume that a loss covered by the bond has been or will be incurred even though the exact amount or details of loss may not be then known.

REPLACE INSURING AGREEMENT (A) FIDELITY
For use with ICB005 Ed. 7/04
MEL5530 Ed. 12/07
 

 
It is agreed that:
 

1.      Insuring Agreement (A) Fidelity is replaced with the following:
 

 
(A)    Loss resulting from any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement, committed by an Employee, committed anywhere and whether committed alone or in collusion with others, including loss of Property resulting from such acts of an Employee, which Property is held by the Insured for any purpose or in any capacity and whether so held gratuitously or not and whether or not the Insured is liable therefor.
 

Dishonest or fraudulent act(s) as used in this Insuring Agreement shall mean only dishonest or fraudulent act(s) committed by such  Employee with the intent:
 

(a)   to cause the Insured to sustain such loss, or
(b)  to obtain financial benefit for the Employee or another person or organization.
 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that with regard to Loans and/or Trading this bond covers only loss resulting directly from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by an Employee with the intent to obtain financial benefit and which result in a financial benefit for the Employee. However, where the proceeds of a fraud committed by an Employee involving Loans and/or Trading are actually received by persons with whom the Employee was acting in collusion, but said Employee fails to derive a financial benefit therefrom, such a loss will nevertheless be covered hereunder as if the Employee had obtained such benefit provided the Insured establishes that the Employee intended to participate therein.

As used in this Insuring Agreement, financial benefit does not include any employee benefits earned in the normal course of employment, including: salaries, commissions, fees, bonuses, promotions, awards, profit sharing and pensions.

"Trading" as used in this Insuring Agreement means trading or otherwise dealing in securities, commodities, futures, options, foreign or federal funds, currencies, foreign exchange or other means of exchange similar to or in the nature of the foregoing.

"Loan" as used in this Insuring Agreement means any extension of credit by the Insured, any transaction creating a creditor relationship in favor of the Insured and any transaction by which the Insured assumes an existing creditor relationship.




 

 
Nothing herein contained shall be held to vary, alter, waive, or extend any of the terms, conditions, provisions, agreements or limitations of the above mentioned Bond or Policy, other than as above stated.
