Asset Management ProtectorSM by Chubb General Terms and Conditions |
(C) | The Company may make any investigation it deems necessary and the Insured agrees to provide the Company with all information, assistance and cooperation which the Company reasonably requests with respect to any Claim. The Insured further agrees that, in the event of a Claim, the Insured shall do nothing that may prejudice the Company’s position or its potential or actual rights of recovery. |
(D) | With respect to any Claim that appears reasonably likely to be covered in whole or in part under this Policy, the Company shall have the right and shall be given the opportunity to associate effectively with the Insured regarding the investigation, defense and settlement of such Claim. |
(E) | As a condition of advancement of Defense Costs, the Company may, at its sole option, require a written undertaking on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company guaranteeing the repayment of any amounts paid to or on behalf of any Insured if it is determined that any such amounts incurred by such Insured were not covered. |
VIII. | ALLOCATION |
(A) | If in any Claim, both Loss covered by this Policy and loss not covered by this Policy are incurred, either because such Claim against an Insured includes both covered and noncovered matters or because such Claim is made against both an Insured and others, then the Insured and the Company shall allocate such amount between covered Loss and noncovered loss based upon the relative legal and financial exposures of the parties to covered and noncovered matters and, in the event of a settlement in such Claim, also based upon the relative benefits to the parties from such settlement. There shall be no coverage under this Policy for the portion of such amount allocated to noncovered loss. |
(B) | If the Insured and the Company agree on an allocation of Defense Costs, then the Company shall advance on a current basis Defense Costs allocated to covered Loss. If the Insured and the Company cannot agree on an allocation: |
(1) | no presumption as to allocation shall exist in any arbitration, suit or other proceeding; |
(2) | the Company shall advance on a current basis Defense Costs which the Company believes to be covered under this Policy until a different allocation is negotiated, arbitrated or judicially determined; and |
(3) | the Company, if requested by the Insured, shall submit the dispute to binding arbitration. The rules of the American Arbitration Association shall apply except with respect to the selection of the arbitration panel, which shall consist of one arbitrator selected by the Insured, one arbitrator selected by the Company, and a third independent arbitrator selected by the first two arbitrators. |
(C) | Any negotiated, arbitrated or judicially determined allocation of Defense Costs on account of a Claim shall be applied retroactively to all Defense Costs on account of such Claim, notwithstanding any prior advancement to the contrary. Any allocation or advancement of Defense Costs on account of a Claim shall not apply to or create any presumption with respect to the allocation of other Loss on account of such Claim. |
IX. | PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS |
In the event of Loss for which payment is due under this Policy but which Loss, in the aggregate, exceeds the remaining available Limit of Liability for the Policy or Coverage Part under which such Loss is payable, the Company shall:

(A) | first pay any Non-indemnifiable Loss and any Loss for which coverage is due to a Plan under the Fiduciary Liability Coverage Part, if purchased; and |
(B) | then to the extent of any remaining amount of the Limit of Liability available after payment under (A) above, pay such other Loss for which coverage is provided under any other Insuring Clause in the Policy. |
Except as otherwise provided in this Section IX., the Company may pay Loss as it becomes due without regard to the potential for other future payment obligations under this Policy.
X. | OTHER INSURANCE |
(A) | With respect to any Coverage Part other than the Employment Practices Liability Coverage Part, if any Loss under this Policy is insured under any other valid and collectible insurance, then this Policy shall cover such Loss, subject to its limitations, conditions, provisions and other terms, only to the extent that the amount of such Loss is in excess of the applicable retention (or deductible) and limit of liability under such other insurance, whether such other insurance is stated to be primary, contributory, excess, contingent or otherwise, unless such other insurance is written only as specific excess insurance over the Limits of Liability provided in this Policy. |
(B) | With respect to the Employment Practices Liability Coverage Part, if purchased, the coverage afforded for any Loss under the Employment Practices Liability Coverage Part, if purchased, shall be primary; provided that with respect to that portion of a Claim made against any leased or temporary employee, Loss, including Defense Costs, payable on behalf of such leased or temporary employee under the Employment Practices Liability Coverage Part will be specifically excess of and will not contribute with any other valid and collectible insurance, including but not limited to any other insurance under which there is a duty to defend, whether such other insurance is stated to be primary, contributory, excess, contingent or otherwise, unless such other insurance is written only as specific excess insurance over the Limit of Liability applicable to the Employment Practices Liability Coverage Part. |
XI. | CHANGES IN EXPOSURE |
(A) | CREATION, ACQUISITION OF, OR MERGER WITH ANOTHER ENTITY |
(1) | If, during the Policy Period, any Organization: |
(a) | creates another entity, so that as a result of such creation, such other entity becomes a Subsidiary; |
(b) | acquires securities or voting rights in another entity, which as a result of such acquisition, such other entity becomes a Subsidiary; or |
(c) | merges or consolidates with another entity such that the Organization is the surviving entity, |
then subject to the provisions of XI.(A)(2) below, such Subsidiary or other entity and any Insured Persons thereof shall be Insureds under this Policy, provided that there shall be no coverage for any Wrongful Acts by such Insureds which occurred in whole or in part before the effective date of such creation, acquisition, merger or consolidation.

Unanimously approved at the March 2, 2021 meeting of the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust Board of Trustees.
RESOLUTION APPROVING INVESTMENT BLANKET BOND
WHEREAS, the Trust currently maintains an investment blanket bond in the amount of $15,000,000; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees previously found and continues to believe that the cost to the Trust to maintain the investment blanket bond in the amount of $15,000,000, an amount that is in excess of regulatory requirements, is not excessive and that the additional cost is outweighed by the additional protection afforded to the Trust.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees, after due consideration of all factors deemed relevant by the Board of Trustees, approves the form and amount of the investment blanket bond, having determined that such investment blanket bond is in a reasonable form and amount as provided in the meeting materials hereto, and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the General Counsel continue to be designated as the Trust officer who shall make all filings and give all notices in connection with the investment blanket bond and be authorized to engage such outside counsel, third-party service provider or other agent to assist in executing the foregoing resolutions as may, in the judgment of this officer, be necessary.
