General Terms and Conditions

 

 

 

(B)With respect to any Coverage Part other than the Employment Practices Liability Coverage Part, if during the Policy Period an Insured:

 

(1)becomes aware of circumstances which could give rise to a Claim and gives written notice of such circumstances to the Company during the Policy Period;

(3)with respect to the Fiduciary Liability Coverage Part, if purchased, gives written notice to the Company of a Settlement Program Notice,

(1)gives the Company written notice of such Potential Claim; and

 

(2)requests coverage under the Employment Practices Liability Coverage Part for any Claim subsequently resulting from such Potential Claim,

With respect to any such subsequent Claim, no coverage under this Policy shall apply to loss incurred prior to the date such subsequent Claim is actually made.

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:

CAP ON LOSSES FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM

 

In consideration of the premium charged, it is agreed that:

 

A.

If aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act exceed $100 billion in a calendar year and we have met our insurer deductible under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, we shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of the amount of such losses that exceeds $100 billion, and in such case insured losses up to that amount are subject to pro rata allocation in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary of the Treasury.

The criteria contained in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act for a “certified act of terrorism” include the following:

 

 

1.

The act resulted in insured losses in excess of $5 million in the aggregate, attributable to all types of insurance subject to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act; and

 

 

2.

The act is a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property or infrastructure and is committed by an individual or individuals 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.

 

B.

The terms and limitations of any terrorism exclusion, or the in applicability or omission of a terrorism exclusion, do not serve to create coverage for any “loss” that is otherwise excluded under this Policy.

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.
