We, Underwriting Members of the Syndicates whose definitive numbers and proportions are shown in the Table attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as 'the Underwriters'), hereby agree, in consideration of the payment to Us by or on behalf of the Assured of the Premium specified in the Schedule, to insure against loss, including but not limited to associated expenses specified herein, if any, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Policy.

If the Assured shall make any claim knowing the same to be false or fraudulent, as regards amount or otherwise, this Policy shall become void and all claim hereunder shall be forfeited.

Item 11. Interest: Excess Financial Institutions Bond Insurance

Dated in London: 5 July 2010


 

WILLIS EXCESS FINANCIAL LINES POLICY

In consideration of the Insured having paid or agreed to pay the Premium and subject to all of the definitions, terms, conditions and limitations of this Policy, Insurers and the Insured agree as follows:

1.      Insuring Agreement
1.1      Except insofar as the express terms of this Policy:
  (a)      make specific provision in respect of any matter for which specific provision is also made in the Primary Policy, in which case the express terms of this Policy shall prevail; or
  (b)      make specific provision in respect of any matter for which no specific provision is made in the Primary Policy, in which case the express terms of this Policy shall apply;
  this      Policy shall take effect and operate in accordance with the terms of the Primary
  Policy.     
1.2      Subject to the Limit of Liability, the Insurers shall pay to or on behalf of the Insured
  that      proportion of Loss which exceeds the Underlying Limit.
1.3      Except as provided specifically to the contrary in this Policy, the Insurers shall have no
  liability      to make payment for any Loss under this Policy until the Underlying Limit has
  been      completely eroded by amounts which the insurers of the Underlying Policy(ies):
  (i)      shall have paid; or,
  (ii)      shall have agreed to pay; or,
  (iii)      shall have had their liability to pay established by judgment, arbitration award or other final binding adjudication;
  whichever      of (i) to (iii) above as shall occur first. Furthermore, in determining whether
  and      the extent to which erosion has occurred,
  where,      as part of any agreement to pay loss or liability (as applicable) under an
  Underlying      Policy, an insurer agrees to pay an amount which is less than the applicable
  limit      of liability thereunder on terms that such payment shall be treated as or equivalent
  to      payment in full of such limit of liability, the Insurers will pay Loss under this Policy
  as      if such insurer had paid the applicable limit of liability in full. However, in such
  circumstances      the Insurers shall pay Loss only to the extent that, in the absence of
  agreement      of the kind referred to in the previous sentence, the Loss of the Insured
  would      have exceeded the Underlying Limit.

 

2. Definitions

Wherever the following words and phrases appear in bold and italics in this Policy they shall have the meanings given to them below:

"Claim" or "Circumstance" shall mean “claim”, “circumstance” or any other term by which the Primary Policy identifies matters potentially giving rise to payments thereunder in respect of

Loss.

"Insured" shall mean those persons and organisations identified at Item 1 of the Schedule and all other persons and organisations as are insured or otherwise entitled to indemnity under the

Primary Policy.

"Insurers" shall mean the insurers of this Policy identified at Item 2 of the Schedule.

"Limit of Liability" shall mean the sum(s) shown at Item 4 of the Schedule being the maximum sum(s) the Insurers are liable to pay under this Policy for all Loss, subject to any reinstatement of limit expressly provided for at Item 4 of the Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no reinstatement of the Limit of Liability unless expressly provided for at Item 4, notwithstanding that the Primary Policy may provide for one or more reinstatements.

"Loss" shall mean all and any amounts for which Insurers are liable to the Insured pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Policy and, for the avoidance of doubt and subject only to the operation of any express terms hereof in accordance with clause 1.1 above, this Policy shall be liable to pay as Loss all losses, costs, liabilities or damages and other expenses of the Insured as are covered by the Primary Policy of whatever nature and howsoever described by the Primary Policy. However, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Primary Policy, the liability of the Insurers of this Policy to the Insured for costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever shall be part of, and not in addition to, the Limit of Liability.

"Period of Insurance" shall mean the period set out at Item 3 of the Schedule.

"Policy" shall mean this insurance contract which includes any endorsements and schedules hereto.

"Primary Policy" shall mean the policy identified at Item 5(a) of the Schedule or any policy(ies) issued in substitution thereof.

"Relevant Provision" shall mean any provision of an Underlying Policy which reduces the limit of liability of the Underlying Policy automatically by reference to the amount paid or payable under another policy of insurance, or by reference to the limit of liability under another policy of insurance. For the avoidance of doubt, a provision which provides that an Underlying Policy shall pay only the amount by which any loss or liability (as applicable) exceeds the amount paid or payable under any other policy or policies, or which allows the insurer credit for the value of other insurance or indemnification, or which requires the Insured to pursue such insurance or


 

indemnification prior to claiming under the Underlying Policy (such as an “other insurance” or “non-contribution” or other similar provision), shall not be a Relevant Provision.

"Schedule" shall mean the schedule to this Policy.

"Sublimit(s)" shall mean any limit or limits of insurers' liability in the Primary Policy imposed in respect of a particular category of loss or liability (as applicable) and which specifies that the maximum liability of the insurer shall be less than the otherwise generally applicable limit of liability of the Primary Policy.

"Underlying Limit" shall mean the cumulative total of the limits of liability of the insurer(s) of the Underlying Policy(ies) applicable to any loss or liability (as applicable) as set out in Item 5 of the Schedule.

"Underlying Policy(ies)" shall mean the policies listed at Item 5 of the Schedule.

3. Maintenance of the Underlying Policy(ies)

The Primary Policy, or any policies issued in substitution thereof, shall be maintained in full force and effect during the Period of Insurance save to the extent that it is eroded. This obligation shall cease to apply in the event that the Primary Policy is completely eroded. Clause 1.3 hereof shall apply for the purposes of determining whether and to what extent erosion has occurred. Where an Underlying Policy other than the Primary Policy does not continue in full force and effect (other than by reason of erosion) such policy shall be deemed for all purposes of this Policy to have been maintained. The Primary Policy shall be deemed maintained if it is replaced by the operation of clause 4 hereof.

4. Step-Down of Cover

Subject always to the Limit of Liability:

4.1      In the event of the reduction of the amount of indemnity available under any Underlying Policy by reason of partial erosion of the Underlying Limit (and in determining the existence and extent of such erosion the provisions of clause 1.3 shall apply) this Policy shall, subject to the Limit of Liability and to the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Policy, continue to be available to pay that proportion of Loss which exceeds the amount of indemnity remaining under the Underlying Policy(ies).
4.2      In the event of there being no indemnity available under the Underlying Policy(ies) by reason of the complete erosion of the Underlying Limit (and in determining the existence and extent of such erosion the provisions of clause 1.3 shall apply), the remaining limits available under this Policy shall, subject to the Limit of Liability and to the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Policy, continue for subsequent Loss as primary insurance and, in that event, any retention, excess or deductible and the remainder of any Sublimit specified in the Primary Policy shall apply under this Policy in respect of Loss.

 

5. Notification

Any notification to the Primary Policy of a Claim or Circumstance which is required to be given in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Primary Policy shall also be given to the Insurers in writing.

6.      Claims Participation
6.1      The Insurers shall have no liability to pay costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Insured unless their consent to the incurring of such costs and expenses has first been obtained, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld.
6.2      No settlement of a claim brought by a third party shall be effected by or on behalf of the Insured for such a sum as will require payment by Insurers under this Policy unless the consent of the Insurers has first been obtained, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld.
7.      Cancellation and Termination

This Policy may be terminated or cancelled or shall become automatically terminated or cancelled in the same manner and on the same basis or bases as the Primary Policy. However, breach by the Insured of any obligation to pay premium in respect of the Primary Policy or in respect of any other of the Underlying Policy(ies) shall not entitle the Insurers to terminate or cancel this Policy.

8. Recoveries

Where, following payment of Loss by Insurers, recovery is effected, then such recovery, net of the expenses of its being effected, shall be distributed in the following order to the following parties:

(i)      to the Insured or, to such extent, if any, as appropriate, to any insurer of a policy applying excess of this Policy, but only to the extent (if any) by which such loss or liability (as applicable) exceeded the sum of the excess, deductible or retention of the Primary Policy, the Underlying Limit and the amount paid hereunder; and,
(ii)      if any balance remains following the application of (i) above, to the Insurers to the extent of the amount(s) paid by them hereunder in respect of Loss; and,
(iii)      if any balance remains following the application of (i) and (ii) above, to those, if any, entitled pursuant to the operation of the Underlying Policies to such extent, if any, of the entitlements conferred thereunder; and

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Policy shall be construed as limiting or delaying the Insured's right to payment of any Loss hereunder until such time as it has effected any recovery.

9. Alteration

No material amendment to the terms of the Primary Policy shall apply in respect of this Policy unless and until agreed in writing by the Insurers.


 

10. Reporting Period

Where the terms of the Primary Policy provide:

(i)      the Insured with a period of time immediately following the policy period of the Primary Policy during which notice may be given to the insurers of the Primary Policy
  of any Claims or Circumstances; and/or,
(ii) the right to purchase such a period,

 

then the Insured shall have the same period and/or right under this Policy in the same manner and on the same terms as those provided for in the Primary Policy except in relation to the premium payable (if any). The premium (if any) payable in respect of any such period available hereunder is set out in Item 9 of the Schedule.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This insurance shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts and any dispute arising hereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of United States of America as per NMA1998 Service of Suit Clause U.S.A. as attached.

(RE)INSURERS LIABILITY CLAUSE

(Re)insurer’s liability several not joint

The liability of a (re)insurer under this contract is several and not joint with other (re)insurers party to this contract. A (re)insurer is liable only for the proportion of liability it has underwritten. A (re)insurer is not jointly liable for the proportion of liability underwritten by any other (re)insurer. Nor is a (re)insurer otherwise responsible for any liability of any other (re)insurer that may underwrite this contract.

The proportion of liability under this contract underwritten by a (re)insurer (or, in the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together) is shown next to its stamp. This is subject always to the provision concerning “signing” below.

In the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, each member of the syndicate (rather than the syndicate itself) is a (re)insurer. Each member has underwritten a proportion of the total shown for the syndicate (that total itself being the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together). The liability of each member of the syndicate is several and not joint with other members. A member is liable only for that member’s proportion. A member is not jointly liable for any other member’s proportion. Nor is any member otherwise responsible for any liability of any other (re)insurer that may underwrite this contract. The business address of each member is Lloyd’s, One Lime Street, London EC3M 7HA. The identity of each member of a Lloyd’s syndicate and their respective proportion may be obtained by writing to Market Services, Lloyd’s, at the above address.

Proportion of liability

Unless there is “signing” (see below), the proportion of liability under this contract underwritten by each (re)insurer (or, in the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together) is shown next to its stamp and is referred to as its “written line”.

Where this contract permits, written lines, or certain written lines, may be adjusted (“signed”). In that case a schedule is to be appended to this contract to show the definitive proportion of liability under this contract underwritten by each (re)insurer (or, in the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together). A definitive proportion (or, in the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of a Lloyd’s syndicate taken together) is referred to as a “signed line”. The signed lines shown in the schedule will prevail over the written lines unless a proven error in calculation has occurred.

Although reference is made at various points in this clause to “this contract” in the singular, where the circumstances so require this should be read as a reference to contracts in the plural.
