POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE
NOTICE OF TERRORISM
INSURANCE COVERAGE

Coverage for acts of terrorism is included in your policy. You are hereby notified that the Terrorism Risk Insurance

Act, as amended in 2019, defines an act of terrorism in Section 102(1) of the Act: The term “act of terrorism” means any act or acts that are certified by the Secretary of the Treasury - in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Attorney General of the United States to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of certain air carriers or vessels or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been 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. Under your coverage, any losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism may be partially reimbursed by the United States Government under a formula established by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended. However, your policy may contain other exclusions which might affect your coverage, such as an exclusion for nuclear events. Under the formula, the United States Government generally reimburses 80% beginning on January

1, 2020, of covered terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, contains a $100 billion cap that limits U.S. Government reimbursement as well as insurers’ liability for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism when the amount of such losses exceeds $100 billion in any one calendar year. If the aggregate insured losses for all insurers exceed $100 billion, your coverage may be reduced.

The portion of your annual premium that is attributable to coverage for acts of terrorism is waived and does not include any charges for the portion of losses covered by the United States government under the Act.

EXCESS POLICY COVERAGE FORM

THIS IS A CLAIMS MADE POLICY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, THIS POLICY ONLY APPLIES TO CLAIMS FIRST MADE DURING THE POLICY PERIOD. THE LIMIT OF LIABILITY AVAILABLE TO PAY DAMAGES OR SETTLEMENTS SHALL BE REDUCED AND MAY BE EXHAUSTED BY THE PAYMENT OF DEFENSE EXPENSES. THIS POLICY DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR ANY DUTY BY THE INSURER TO DEFEND ANY INSURED. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW THE POLICY CAREFULLY.

In consideration of the payment of the premium and in reliance on all statements made and information furnished to the Insurer identified in the Declarations (the Insurer) and to the issuer(s) of the Underlying Insurance, the Insurer and the insureds agree as follows:

I. INSURING AGREEMENT

The Insurer will provide coverage excess of the Underlying Insurance stated in ITEM 4 of the Declarations. Coverage hereunder will apply in conformance with the terms, conditions, endorsements and warranties of both the Primary Policy stated in ITEM 4 (A) of the Declarations and of any other Underlying Excess Policy stated in ITEM 4 (B) of the Declarations. The coverage hereunder will attach only after all of the Underlying Insurance has been exhausted by the actual payment of covered amounts under the Underlying Insurance by the applicable insurers thereunder or by any other source. To the extent that any terms, conditions, and endorsements of the Policy may be inconsistent with any terms, conditions, and endorsements of the Underlying Insurance, the terms, conditions, and endorsements of this Policy shall govern.

II. DEPLETION OF UNDERLYING LIMITS OF LIABILITY

The coverage hereunder shall attach only after the limits of all Underlying Insurance have been exhausted by payment of covered amounts. Subject to the terms, conditions, and endorsements of this Policy and the Underlying Insurance, this Policy will continue to apply to covered amounts as primary insurance in the event of the exhaustion of all of the limits of liability of such Underlying Insurance as the result of the actual payment of covered amounts by the applicable insurer thereunder or by any other source. Any risk of uncollectibility with respect to the Underlying Insurance will be expressly retained by the insureds and will not be assumed by the Insurer.

III. RIGHTS AND CLAIM PARTICIPATION

The Insurer shall have the same rights, privileges and protections afforded to the insurer(s) of the Underlying Insurance and may, at its sole discretion, elect to participate in the investigation, settlement and/or defense of any claim against the insureds even if the Underlying Insurance has not been exhausted. The insureds will provide such information and cooperation as is reasonably requested. The insureds shall not do anything that prejudices the Insurer’s position or potential rights of recovery, including, but not limited to, terminating any Underlying Insurance.

IV. LIMIT OF LIABILITY

The amount stated in ITEM 3 of the Declarations is the limit of liability of the Insurer and shall be the maximum amount payable, including defense expenses, by the Insurer under this Policy. Defense expenses are part of and not in addition to the limit of liability and the payment of such will reduce the limit of liability.

V.      NOTICE, ALTERATION, AND TERMINATION
(A)      Where the Underlying Insurance permits or requires notice to the Insurer, the insureds shall have the same obligations and rights to notify the Insurer under this Policy. All notices required under the Underlying Insurance policies and this Policy shall be sent to the address set forth in ITEM (5) of the Declarations: Attention Claim Department or by electronic mail to: proclaimnewnotices@xlgroup.com. Notice given to any underlying insurer will not be deemed notice to the Insurer.
(B)      No change in or modification of this Policy shall be effective unless made by endorsement. In the event of a change of any kind to any Underlying Insurance that broadens or expands coverage, this Policy will become subject to such change only if and to the extent that the Insurer consents to such change in writing and the insured pays any additional premium that may be required by the Insurer.
(C)      This Policy will terminate immediately upon the termination of any of the Underlying Insurance, whether cancelled by the insured or the applicable insurer. Notice of cancellation or non-renewal of any such policies duly given by any of the applicable insurers shall serve as notice of the cancellation or non-renewal of this Policy by the Insurer.

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 Insured or insurers of any Side A/Difference in
  Conditions      Policy or insurers of the Underlying Policy(ies) shall have paid 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

"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.

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.

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.

4.2      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.

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

The Terrorism exclusion, to which this Insurance is subject, applies in full force and effect to any other losses and any act or events that are not included in said definition of "act of terrorism".

This Endorsement only affects the Terrorism exclusion to which this Insurance is subject. All other terms, conditions, insured coverage and exclusions of this Insurance including applicable limits and deductibles remain unchanged and apply in full force and effect to the coverage provided by this Insurance.

Furthermore the Underwriter(s) will not be liable for any amounts for which they are not responsible under the terms of TRIA (including subsequent action of Congress pursuant to the Act) due to the application of any clause which results in a cap on the Underwriter’s liability for payment for terrorism losses.

(RE)INSURER’S  
LIABILITY: (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

In the event that the written lines hereon exceed 100% of the order, any lines written “to stand” will be allocated in full and all other lines will be signed down in equal proportions so that the aggregate signed lines are equal to 100% of the order without further agreement of any of the (re)insurers.

However:

a)      in the event that the placement of the order is not completed by the commencement date of the period of (re)insurance then all lines written by that date will be signed in full;
b)      the signed lines resulting from the application of the above provisions can be varied, before or after the commencement date of the period of (re)insurance, by the documented agreement of the (re)insured and all (re)insurers whose lines are to be varied. The variation to the contracts will take effect only when all such (re)insurers have agreed, with the resulting variation in signed lines commencing from the date set out in that agreement.

WRITTEN LINES

MODE OF EXECUTION CLAUSE

This contract and any changes to it may be executed by:

(a)      electronic signature technology employing computer software and a digital signature or digitiser pen pad to capture a person’s handwritten signature in such a manner that the signature is unique to the person signing, is under the sole control of the person signing, is capable of verification to authenticate the signature and is linked to the document signed in such a manner that if the data is changed, such signature is invalidated;
(b)      a unique authorisation provided via a secure electronic trading platform
(c)      a timed and dated authorisation provided via an electronic message/system;
(d)      an exchange of facsimile/scanned copies showing the original written ink signature of paper documents;
(e)      an original written ink signature of paper documents (or a true representation of a signature, such as a rubber stamp).;

The use of any one or a combination of these methods of execution shall constitute a legally binding and valid signing of this contract. This contract may be executed in one or more of the above counterparts, each of which, when duly executed, shall be deemed an original.

In a co-insurance placement following (re)insurers may, but are not obliged to, follow the premium charged by the lead (re)insurer.

(Re)insurers may not seek to guarantee for themselves terms as favourable as those which others subsequently achieve during the placement.

It is the responsibility of each (Re)insurer subscribing to this contract to ensure that they are appropriately licenced to underwrite this contract in the territories described herein and can also discharge their relevant Insurance Premium Tax obligations.

For the avoidance of doubt, the SLIP LEADER shall have no obligations or liability to any (re)insurer, other than a Subscribing (Re)Insurer, arising out of or in any way connected with the

Determination of a SCAP Claim.

2.3 Reassigning Claims

Where during the life of a SCAP Claim any of the provisions of clause 1.2 apply, the SLIP LEADER shall:

2.3.1      reassign the SCAP Claim to the claims agreement parties defined in B of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT
  PARTIES section; and
2.3.2      notify the Broker accordingly with instructions for it to advise all applicable claims agreement parties defined in B of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT
  PARTIES section, following which the provisions of the applicable BASIS OF CLAIMS AGREEMENT shall apply to the claim.

The SLIP LEADER may, at any time, reassign a SCAP Claim outside of these Arrangements if having due regard to the available Claims Information, all relevant circumstances and its ability to act in accordance with clauses 2.2.1 to 2.2.3 inclusive, it considers that this assignment would be appropriate, following which the provisions of the applicable BASIS OF CLAIMS AGREEMENT shall apply to the claim.

The Broker may also, at any time, reassign a SCAP Claim outside of these Arrangements and to the provisions of the applicable BASIS OF CLAIMS AGREEMENT by advising all claims agreement parties defined in B of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT PARTIES section.

Where a SCAP Claim has been reassigned outside of these Arrangements, it may not, without the consent of all claims agreement parties defined in B of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT PARTIES section, be reassigned as a SCAP Claim.

Notwithstanding clauses 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 but without prejudice to any other right or requirement to (re)assign a SCAP Claim outside of these Arrangements, where the exchange rate between Sterling and the currency in which the SCAP Claim has been made fluctuates after the conversion date stated in A of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT PARTIES section such that the Sterling value of the claim exceeds the Threshold Amount, the claim shall not cease to be a SCAP Claim by reason of the currency fluctuation alone.

2.4 Delegation of Determination

The SLIP LEADER may delegate its Determination of a SCAP Claim to another entity.

Despite its right to delegate the Determination of a SCAP Claim pursuant to these Arrangements the SLIP LEADER shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of the delegate and the acts and omissions of those employed or engaged by the delegate as if they were its own.

2.5 Processing Claims

The SLIP LEADER shall ensure that all supporting information has been properly documented prior to payment of the claim and that such records are kept for a period of no less than seven years after closure, subject always to the requirements of applicable laws (including but not limited to those applicable to the processing of personal data and privacy).

3 Broker Responsibilities

3.1      any new claim or circumstance assigned as a SCAP Claim;
3.2      any recommended reserve or reserves for a SCAP Claim;

3.5      the receipt of notice of the commencement of any Dispute Resolution Proceedings relating to a SCAP Claim;
3.6      the final Determination of a SCAP Claim, including where a SCAP Claim is denied;
3.7      any receipt of a complaint against (re)insurers;

3.9      where so requested by the SLIP LEADER, the identity and participation of all Subscribing (Re)Insurers.
A      Subscribing (Re)Insurer may request the SLIP LEADER and/or

Broker to provide such further information as it may reasonably require and the SLIP LEADER and Broker shall co-operate fully with any such request.

4 Termination of the SLIP LEADER’s Authority

In the event that the SLIP LEADER:

4.1      becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary rehabilitation or liquidation, action in bankruptcy or similar or in any way otherwise acknowledges its insolvency or is unable to pay its debts or losses; or
4.2      has its right to transact the main class of business covered by the slip withdrawn, suspended, removed or made conditional or impaired in any way by any regulatory authority; or
4.3      ceases to be either: (a) an authorised person (as defined in Section 31 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) with permission to effect and/or carry out contracts of insurance; or (b) a member of Lloyd’s,

the authority of that SLIP LEADER to Determine all SCAP Claims shall automatically terminate from the date of that event, following which the provisions of the applicable BASIS OF CLAIMS AGREEMENT shall apply to the claim.

5      Professional Advisers
5.1      The SLIP LEADER has the sole authority to appoint and instruct an independent, external, professional adviser (which may include, but is not limited to, a lawyer, loss adjuster, surveyor, actuary or accountant) on behalf of Subscribing (Re)Insurers where, in its sole discretion, it considers the professional adviser necessary for the Determination of a claim. The SLIP LEADER shall supervise the professional adviser throughout the period of their appointment.
5.2      A professional adviser appointed in connection with a SCAP Claim pursuant to clause 5.1 above may, at the SLIP

LEADER’s discretion, be instructed to send all reports and correspondence directly to the SLIP LEADER. The professional adviser’s fees shall be agreed by the SLIP LEADER. The fees of the professional adviser shall be shared between the Subscribing (Re)Insurers in accordance with their respective shares of the SCAP Claim.

6 Claims Concerns

If a Subscribing (Re)Insurer has a concern regarding the handling of a SCAP Claim by the SLIP LEADER it shall notify the SLIP LEADER of its concern. The SLIP LEADER and the Subscribing (Re)Insurer which has raised the concern shall promptly confer and use their best endeavours to resolve the concern. If any disagreement remains after a period of 28 days from the date on which the concern was notified to the SLIP LEADER, the authority of the SLIP

LEADER to Determine the SCAP Claim to which the concern relates shall terminate, following which the provisions of the applicable BASIS OF CLAIMS AGREEMENT shall apply to the claim.

7 Intra-(Re)Insurer Dispute Resolution Protocols

Before a Subscribing (Re)Insurer (Claimant) can bring a legal claim against the SLIP LEADER in relation to the Determination of a SCAP Claim or for an alleged breach of its obligations under these Arrangements, it must first attempt to resolve the dispute (Dispute) as follows:

7.1      The Claimant shall notify the SLIP LEADER that it is commencing the Dispute Resolution Protocols prescribed in this clause 7.
7.2      The Dispute shall first be referred to representatives of the SLIP LEADER and of the Claimant who shall meet in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute. If a resolution is not achieved within 21 days from the date the Dispute was referred to these individuals, the matter shall be escalated to a member of senior management responsible for claims, for each of the Claimant and SLIP LEADER, who shall attempt to resolve the Dispute.
7.3      If the Dispute has not been resolved within 28 days from the date upon which it is referred to senior management, then the Claimant and SLIP LEADER shall enter into a mediation agreement in the form prescribed by the LMA and IUA. If the resulting mediation fails to resolve the Dispute, then the Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with clause 7.4, provided always that the decision to commence an arbitration must be taken by the senior management of the Claimant in question.

7.4      All arbitrations arising out of or in connection with a Dispute shall be referred to arbitration under ARIAS Fast Track Arbitration Rules. The seat of arbitration shall be London.
8      Limitation of Liability
8.1      The total liability, whether in contract, in tort (including but not limited to negligence), breach of fiduciary duty, breach of statutory duty or otherwise, of a SLIP LEADER to all Subscribing (Re)Insurers on whose behalf it has acted, or is acting, under these Arrangements shall not exceed GBP
  500,000 in respect of any one SCAP Claim (Liability Cap).
8.2      If the aggregate liability of a SLIP LEADER in respect of any one SCAP Claim would exceed the Liability Cap, the
  Subscribing (Re)Insurers shall each be entitled to be paid only a share of the Liability Cap calculated in proportion to the share of the (re)insurance underwritten by each Subscribing (Re)Insurer (excluding for the purposes of this clause any share underwritten by the SLIP LEADER).
8.3      A SLIP LEADER shall not be liable for loss of profits, loss of business, loss of use (in each case whether direct or indirect) or any other indirect, special, or consequential damages alleged to have been suffered by a Subscribing (Re)Insurer arising out of its breach of the terms of these Arrangements.
8.4      Notwithstanding clause 8.3 but subject always to clauses 8.1, 8.2 and 8.5, nothing in this clause 8 is intended to exclude the SLIP LEADER’S liability to the Subscribing (Re)Insurers in respect of damages payable by the Subscribing (Re)Insurers to the (re)insured, in addition to the Claim
Amount,      arising from the mishandling of a SCAP Claim by
the      SLIP LEADER, its agents or employees, where such
mishandling      gives rise to an actionable claim for damages
against      Subscribing (Re)Insurers.
8.5      Nothing in these Arrangements shall exclude, restrict or
limit      with respect to the handling of a SCAP Claim a SLIP
LEADER’s      liability for: (1) fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation;      (2) death or personal injury caused by its
negligence      or the negligence of its employees or agents; or

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,
  (a)      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.
  (b)      where any insurer of an Underlying Policy is or becomes Insolvent with the
   result      that it does not pay, or is unable to agree to pay, or is unable to participate
   in      proceedings by which the liability of other insurers of the Underlying Policy is
   established,      then the relevant insurer(s) will be deemed to have paid or to have
   agreed      to pay or to have had their liability established, but only in the event that
   either:     
   (i)      any other insurer participating on the relevant Underlying Policy pays, agrees to pay or has its liability established by judgment, arbitration award or other final binding adjudication (whichever shall occur first); or

(ii)      the Insured establishes that the Insurers would be liable hereunder but for the
  Insolvency.
(c)      Insurers will recognise the erosion of the Underlying Limit by any payment made in respect of loss or liability (as applicable) by reason of cover provided by any Underlying Policy whether or not such cover is also provided by this Policy.
(d)      where any Underlying Policy (other than the Primary Policy) provides cover which is more restrictive than the cover provided hereunder then, notwithstanding the absence of any liability on the part of the insurers of such Underlying Policy for some or all of any loss or liability (as applicable), such Underlying Policy shall, for the purposes of the operation of this Policy, be deemed to have been eroded by such loss or liability (as applicable) to the extent that it constitutes Loss.
(e)      Insurers will recognise the erosion of the Underlying Limit by the operation of one or more Relevant Provisions.
(f)      Where for any reason, other than those under (a) to (e) inclusive, one or more insurers of the Underlying Policies do not pay loss forming part of the Underlying Limit and such unpaid loss is paid instead by or on behalf of the Insured, the Insurers will recognise the erosion of the Underlying Limit as a consequence of such payment.

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.

"Insolvent” or “Insolvency" shall mean in respect of any insurer that any step, application, order, proceeding or appointment has been taken or made by or in respect of an insurer for a distress, execution, composition or arrangement with creditors, winding-up, dissolution, administration, receivership (administrative or otherwise) or bankruptcy, or that the insurer is unable to pay its debts.

"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.

"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.

3. Maintenance of the Underlying Policy(ies)

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 by way of the party identified at Item 7 of the Schedule. Such notice shall constitute notice to all Insurers.

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).

U.S. TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT OF 2002 AS AMENDED NEW & RENEWAL BUSINESS ENDORSEMENT

This Endorsement is issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the "U.S. Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002" as amended, as summarized in the disclosure notice.

In consideration of the premium paid, it is hereby noted and agreed with effect from inception that the Terrorism exclusion to which this Insurance is subject, shall not apply to any “insured loss” directly resulting from any "act of terrorism" as defined in the "U.S. Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002", as amended ("TRIA").

The coverage afforded by this Endorsement is only in respect of any “insured loss” of the type insured by this Insurance directly resulting from an "act of terrorism" as defined in TRIA. The coverage provided by this Endorsement shall expire at 12:00 midnight December 31, 2027, the date on which the TRIA Program is scheduled to terminate, or the expiry date of the policy whichever occurs first, and shall not cover any losses or events which arise after the earlier of these dates. The Terrorism exclusion, to which this Insurance is subject, applies in full force and effect to any other losses and any act or events that are not included in said definition of "act of terrorism".

This Endorsement only affects the Terrorism exclusion to which this Insurance is subject. All other terms, conditions, insured coverage and exclusions of this Insurance including applicable limits and deductibles remain unchanged and apply in full force and effect to the coverage provided by this Insurance.

Furthermore the Underwriter(s) will not be liable for any amounts for which they are not responsible under the terms of TRIA (including subsequent action of Congress pursuant to the Act) due to the application of any clause which results in a cap on the Underwriter’s liability for payment for terrorism losses.

(RE)INSURER’S  
LIABILITY: (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

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.

In the event that the written lines hereon exceed 100% of the order, any lines written “to stand” will be allocated in full and all other lines will be signed down in equal proportions so that the aggregate signed lines are equal to 100% of the order without further agreement of any of the (re)insurers.

However:

a)      in the event that the placement of the order is not completed by the commencement date of the period of (re)insurance then all lines written by that date will be signed in full;
b)      the signed lines resulting from the application of the above provisions can be varied, before or after the commencement date of the period of (re)insurance, by the documented agreement of the (re)insured and all (re)insurers whose lines are to be varied. The variation to the contracts will take effect only when all such (re)insurers have agreed, with the resulting variation in signed lines commencing from the date set out in that agreement.

MODE OF EXECUTION CLAUSE

This contract and any changes to it may be executed by:

(a)      electronic signature technology employing computer software and a digital signature or digitiser pen pad to capture a person’s handwritten signature in such a manner that the signature is unique to the person signing, is under the sole control of the person signing, is capable of verification to authenticate the signature and is linked to the document signed in such a manner that if the data is changed, such signature is invalidated;
(b)      a unique authorisation provided via a secure electronic trading platform
(c)      a timed and dated authorisation provided via an electronic message/system;
(d)      an exchange of facsimile/scanned copies showing the original written ink signature of paper documents;
(e)      an original written ink signature of paper documents (or a true representation of a signature, such as a rubber stamp).;

The use of any one or a combination of these methods of execution shall constitute a legally binding and valid signing of this contract. This contract may be executed in one or more of the above counterparts, each of which, when duly executed, shall be deemed an original.

In a co-insurance placement following (re)insurers may, but are not obliged to, follow the premium charged by the lead (re)insurer.

(Re)insurers may not seek to guarantee for themselves terms as favourable as those which others subsequently achieve during the placement.

It is the responsibility of each (Re)insurer subscribing to this contract to ensure that they are appropriately licenced to underwrite this contract in the territories described herein and can also discharge their relevant Insurance Premium Tax obligations.

1      Single Claims Agreement Party
1.1      Scope

All claims having, or circumstances assessed by the SLIP LEADER as having, a Claim Amount at or below GBP250,000 or currency equivalent (the Threshold Amount) will be designated a Single Claims Agreement Party Claim (SCAP Claim) and will be managed within the terms of these Single Claims Agreement Party Arrangements (these Arrangements). For the purposes of these Arrangements the SLIP LEADER must be: (a) an authorised person (as defined in Section 31 of the Financial Services and Markets Act

2000) with permission to effect and/or carry out contracts of insurance; or (b) a Member of Lloyd’s.

1.2 Exceptions

Where:

1.2.1      the Claim Amount is more than, or, in the assessment of the SLIP LEADER, is likely to be more than, the Threshold Amount; and/or
1.2.2      after making further enquiries, there remains insufficient information to form a view on the likely quantum of any circumstance or claim and in the SLIP LEADER’S assessment, there is a material risk that the quantum will ultimately exceed the
  Threshold Amount; and/or
1.2.3      issues arise of fraud or avoidance (either under the Insurance Act 2015 or otherwise) or there are allegations against (re)insurers of regulatory breach which may result in regulatory action being taken against (re)insurers, or actionable allegations of improper claims handling have been made in respect of the claim at issue, or, in the assessment of the SLIP
  LEADER, such issues are likely to arise in connection with a claim; and/or
1.2.4      in the assessment of the SLIP LEADER a claim is, or is likely to become, controversial or complex, or is likely to become subject to Dispute Resolution Proceedings,

such claims or circumstances shall be managed in accordance with the provisions of the applicable BASIS OF CLAIMS AGREEMENT.

2      Slip Leader Responsibilities
2.1      Receipt of a Claim

Upon receiving a notification of a claim or circumstance, the SLIP LEADER shall, as soon as practicable, reasonably assess and decide, based on all the relevant circumstances (including but not limited to the Claims Information), whether such claim or circumstance is a SCAP Claim and notify the Broker accordingly with instructions for it to advise this decision to all claims agreement parties defined in B of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT PARTIES section.

2.2      Role of the Slip Leader
A      SCAP Claim shall be Determined by the SLIP LEADER on behalf

of itself and all (re)insurers which subscribe: (1) to this Contract on Page 29

B080113016P22

the same contractual terms (other than premium and brokerage); and (2) to these Arrangements (Subscribing (Re)Insurers).

When Determining a SCAP Claim, including where the SLIP LEADER may have delegated the Determination of a SCAP Claim, the SLIP LEADER must always:

2.2.1      act in good faith and exercise the reasonable care of a competent (re)insurer; and
2.2.2      act in the best interest of all Subscribing (Re)Insurers on whose behalf it acts; and
2.2.3      comply with all laws, sanctions regimes, regulations and related guidance (including, but not limited to, those issued by Lloyd’s, the Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority) as may be applicable to the Determination of a SCAP Claim and to which the SLIP LEADER is subject, including, but not limited to conduct of business rules requiring (re)insurers to treat customers fairly (if applicable in that jurisdiction); and
2.2.4      notify either directly or via the Broker, all
  Subscribing (Re)Insurers of any Dispute Resolution Proceedings commenced against them.

For the avoidance of doubt, the SLIP LEADER shall have no obligations or liability to any (re)insurer, other than a Subscribing (Re)Insurer, arising out of or in any way connected with the

Determination of a SCAP Claim.

2.3 Reassigning Claims

Where during the life of a SCAP Claim any of the provisions of clause 1.2 apply, the SLIP LEADER shall:

2.3.1      reassign the SCAP Claim to the claims agreement parties defined in B of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT
  PARTIES section; and
2.3.2      notify the Broker accordingly with instructions for it to advise all applicable claims agreement parties defined in B of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT
  PARTIES section, following which the provisions of the applicable BASIS OF CLAIMS AGREEMENT shall apply to the claim.

The SLIP LEADER may, at any time, reassign a SCAP Claim outside of these Arrangements if having due regard to the available Claims Information, all relevant circumstances and its ability to act in accordance with clauses 2.2.1 to 2.2.3 inclusive, it considers that this assignment would be appropriate, following which the provisions of

the applicable BASIS OF CLAIMS AGREEMENT shall apply to the claim.

The Broker may also, at any time, reassign a SCAP Claim outside of these Arrangements and to the provisions of the applicable BASIS OF CLAIMS AGREEMENT by advising all claims agreement parties defined in B of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT PARTIES section.

Where a SCAP Claim has been reassigned outside of these Arrangements, it may not, without the consent of all claims agreement parties defined in B of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT PARTIES section, be reassigned as a SCAP Claim.

Notwithstanding clauses 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 but without prejudice to any other right or requirement to (re)assign a SCAP Claim outside of these Arrangements, where the exchange rate between Sterling and the currency in which the SCAP Claim has been made fluctuates after the conversion date stated in A of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT PARTIES section such that the Sterling value of the claim exceeds the Threshold Amount, the claim shall not cease to be a SCAP Claim by reason of the currency fluctuation alone.

2.4 Delegation of Determination

The SLIP LEADER may delegate its Determination of a SCAP Claim to another entity.

Despite its right to delegate the Determination of a SCAP Claim pursuant to these Arrangements the SLIP LEADER shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of the delegate and the acts and omissions of those employed or engaged by the delegate as if they were its own.

2.5 Processing Claims

The SLIP LEADER shall ensure that all supporting information has been properly documented prior to payment of the claim and that such records are kept for a period of no less than seven years after closure, subject always to the requirements of applicable laws (including but not limited to those applicable to the processing of personal data and privacy).

3 Broker Responsibilities

Notwithstanding the application of these Arrangements, the Broker shall advise all claims agreement parties defined in B of the CLAIMS AGREEMENT PARTIES section of any or all of the following matters or events, where known, as soon as practicable:

3.1      any new claim or circumstance assigned as a SCAP Claim;
3.2      any recommended reserve or reserves for a SCAP Claim;

3.3      any revision to the recommended reserve or reserves for a
  SCAP Claim;
3.4      any change in the assignment of a SCAP Claim;
3.5      the receipt of notice of the commencement of any Dispute Resolution Proceedings relating to a SCAP Claim;
3.6      the final Determination of a SCAP Claim, including where a SCAP Claim is denied;
3.7      any receipt of a complaint against (re)insurers;
3.8      any termination of the SLIP LEADER’s authority to Determine claims under clauses 4.1 to 4.3 inclusive; and/or
3.9      where so requested by the SLIP LEADER, the identity and participation of all Subscribing (Re)Insurers.
A      Subscribing (Re)Insurer may request the SLIP LEADER and/or

Broker to provide such further information as it may reasonably require and the SLIP LEADER and Broker shall co-operate fully with any such request.

4 Termination of the SLIP LEADER’s Authority

In the event that the SLIP LEADER:

4.1      becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary rehabilitation or liquidation, action in bankruptcy or similar or in any way otherwise acknowledges its insolvency or is unable to pay its debts or losses; or
4.2      has its right to transact the main class of business covered by the slip withdrawn, suspended, removed or made conditional or impaired in any way by any regulatory authority; or
4.3      ceases to be either: (a) an authorised person (as defined in Section 31 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) with permission to effect and/or carry out contracts of insurance; or (b) a member of Lloyd’s,

7.1      The Claimant shall notify the SLIP LEADER that it is commencing the Dispute Resolution Protocols prescribed in this clause 7.
7.2      The Dispute shall first be referred to representatives of the SLIP LEADER and of the Claimant who shall meet in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute. If a resolution is not achieved within 21 days from the date the Dispute was referred to these individuals, the matter shall be escalated to a member of senior management responsible for claims, for each of the Claimant and SLIP LEADER, who shall attempt to resolve the Dispute.
7.3      If the Dispute has not been resolved within 28 days from the date upon which it is referred to senior management, then the Claimant and SLIP LEADER shall enter into a mediation agreement in the form prescribed by the LMA and IUA. If the resulting mediation fails to resolve the Dispute, then the Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with clause 7.4, provided always that the decision to commence an

  arbitration must be taken by the senior management of the Claimant in question.
7.4      All arbitrations arising out of or in connection with a Dispute shall be referred to arbitration under ARIAS Fast Track Arbitration Rules. The seat of arbitration shall be London.
8      Limitation of Liability
8.1      The total liability, whether in contract, in tort (including but not limited to negligence), breach of fiduciary duty, breach of statutory duty or otherwise, of a SLIP LEADER to all Subscribing (Re)Insurers on whose behalf it has acted, or is acting, under these Arrangements shall not exceed GBP
  500,000 in respect of any one SCAP Claim (Liability Cap).
8.2      If the aggregate liability of a SLIP LEADER in respect of any one SCAP Claim would exceed the Liability Cap, the
  Subscribing (Re)Insurers shall each be entitled to be paid only a share of the Liability Cap calculated in proportion to the share of the (re)insurance underwritten by each Subscribing (Re)Insurer (excluding for the purposes of this clause any share underwritten by the SLIP LEADER).
8.3      A SLIP LEADER shall not be liable for loss of profits, loss of business, loss of use (in each case whether direct or indirect) or any other indirect, special, or consequential damages alleged to have been suffered by a Subscribing (Re)Insurer arising out of its breach of the terms of these Arrangements.
8.4      Notwithstanding clause 8.3 but subject always to clauses 8.1, 8.2 and 8.5, nothing in this clause 8 is intended to exclude the SLIP LEADER’S liability to the Subscribing (Re)Insurers
in      respect of damages payable by the Subscribing
(Re)Insurers      to the (re)insured, in addition to the Claim
Amount,      arising from the mishandling of a SCAP Claim by
the      SLIP LEADER, its agents or employees, where such
mishandling      gives rise to an actionable claim for damages
against      Subscribing (Re)Insurers.
8.5      Nothing in these Arrangements shall exclude, restrict or
limit      with respect to the handling of a SCAP Claim a SLIP
LEADER’s      liability for: (1) fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation;      (2) death or personal injury caused by its
negligence      or the negligence of its employees or agents; or
(3)      any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful to
exclude      or restrict liability.

EXCESS FOLLOW-FORM BOND

THE POLICY’S LIMIT OF LIABILITY WILL BE REDUCED BY CLAIM EXPENSES.

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POLICY CAREFULLY.

Various provisions in this bond restrict coverage. Read the entire bond carefully to determine rights, duties and what is and is not covered.

Throughout this bond the words "you" and "your" refer to the “Insureds”. The words "we", "us" and "our" refer to the Insurer providing this bond.

It is represented by the “Insureds” and it is agreed by and among the “Insureds” and us that the particulars and statements contained in the information furnished to us or to the issuers of any “Underlying Bond” in connection with underwriting this bond or any “Underlying Bond”, including statements made in the application and its attachments submitted herewith, are true and are the basis of this bond and are considered as incorporated into and constituting a part of this bond.

In consideration of the payment of premium and subject to all terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions, and limitations of this bond (including any endorsements hereto), the “Insurer” and the “Insureds” agree as follows:

SECTION I – INSURING AGREEMENT

We will provide the “Insured” with coverage in excess of the “Underlying Bond” for loss covered during the “Bond Period.” It is expressly agreed that liability for any covered loss shall attach to us only after the issuers of the “Underlying Bond” have paid the full amounts of the applicable limits of insurance of the “Underlying Bond”, and any applicable retention under the “Primary Bond” has been satisfied. Except as otherwise provided in this bond, coverage under this bond shall apply in conformity with and subject to the warranties, limitations, conditions, provisions, and other terms of the “Primary Bond”.

SECTION II - LIMIT OF LIABILITY

A.      Aggregate Limit of Liability
  The amount stated in Item 3. of the Declarations is our maximum Aggregate Limit of Liability under this bond for all covered loss, including all covered costs and expenses . The Aggregate Limit of Liability shall be reduced by the amount of any payment made by us under the terms of this bond.
B.      Single Loss Limit of Liability
  Subject to the Aggregate Limit of Liability under Paragraph A. of this Section, our liability under this bond for each single loss shall not exceed the Single Loss Limit of Liability shown under Item 4. of the Declarations.

SECTION III – DEFINITIONS

A.      “Bond Period” means the period of time identified under Item 2. of the Declarations.
B.      “Insured” means the “Named Insured” and other entities and persons insured under the “Primary Bond”.
C.      “Named Insured” means the entity or person designated under Item 1. of the Declarations.
D.      “Primary Bond” means the bond designated under Item 5.A. of the Declarations.
E.      “Underlying Bond” means all those bonds scheduled under Item 5.A. and Item 5.B. of the Declarations.

SECTION IV – CONDITIONS

A.      Maintenance of Limit of Liability of Underlying Bond
  The “Underlying Bond(s)” shall be maintained during the “Bond Period” in full force and effect, except for any reduction of the limits of liability of the “Underlying Bond” due to payment of loss. Failure to comply with this requirement will not invalidate this bond, but we will only be liable to the same extent that we would have been had you fully complied with this requirement.
B.      Exhaustion of Limit of Liability of Underlying Bond
  This bond shall drop down only in the event of reduction or exhaustion of the limit(s) of liability of the “Underlying Bond” by reason of payment of covered loss under the “Underlying Bond”, and shall not drop down for any other reason including, but not limited to, uncollectibility (in whole or in part) of any “Underlying Bond”. The risk of uncollectibility of the “Underlying Bond” (in whole or in part) whether because of financial

impairment or insolvency of an underlying insurer or for any other reason, is expressly retained by the “Insureds” and is not in any way or under any circumstances insured or assumed by us.

Upon the exhaustion of all the limit(s) of liability of such “Underlying Bond” solely as a result of payment of loss thereunder, the remaining limits available under this bond shall, subject to the other terms, conditions and limitations of this bond, continue for subsequent losses as a primary bond and any single loss deductible amount specified in the Primary Bond shall be imposed under this bond as to each single loss; otherwise no single loss deductible amount shall be imposed under this bond.

C.      Changes to Underlying Bond
  You      must promptly notify us of any changes to the “Underlying Bond” which are made after its inception date.
  Any      changes made to the “Underlying Bond” after its inception shall not affect the terms and conditions of this
  bond,      which shall continue to apply as though no change had been made to the “Underlying Bond”.
D.      Bond Cancellation
  1.      You may cancel this bond. You must mail or deliver advance written notice to us stating when the cancellation is to take effect.
  2.      We may cancel this bond. If we cancel because of non-payment of premium, we must mail or deliver to you not less than ten (10) days advance written notice stating when cancellation is to take effect. If we cancel for any other reason, we must mail or deliver to you not less than ninety (90) days advance written notice, stating when the cancellation is to take effect. Mailing that notice to you at your mailing address shown in the Declarations will be sufficient to prove notice.
  3.      The bond period will end on the day and hour stated in the cancellation notice.
  4.      If we cancel, earned premium will be calculated pro rata based on the time this bond was in force.
  5.      If you cancel, earned premium will be calculated based on short rate tables.

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

(1)      For purposes of this endorsement:
  (a)      A-Side Carrier means the issuer of any excess “Side A”/“Difference in Conditions”
   policy      written specifically excess of this Policy.

  (a)      If an issuer of a policy of Underlying Insurance becomes financially insolvent or

   Loss      under such policy of Underlying Insurance, and if the Insureds, an A-Side
   Carrier      or any other entity actually makes payment for part or all of such Loss, then the
   Insurer      will treat such payment as if it had been made by such issuer for purposes of
   determining      reduction or exhaustion (as the case may be) of the limit of liability of such
   policy      of Underlying Insurance.
  (b)      If an issuer of a policy of Underlying Insurance fails to pay Loss under such policy of
   Underlying      Insurance for any reason other than such issuer’s financial insolvency or
   bankruptcy,      and if the Insureds, an A-Side Carrier or any other entity actually makes
   payment      for part or all of such Loss, then the Insurer will treat such payment as if it had
   been      made by such issuer for purposes of determining reduction or exhaustion (as the
   case      may be) of the limit of liability of such policy of Underlying Insurance, but only if
   the      Insureds:
   (i)      promptly notify the Insurer that the Insureds, an A-Side Carrier or any other entity intends to make such payment; and
   (ii)      advise the Insurer of the total amount of Loss that such issuer has paid or has agreed to pay (if any) under such policy of Underlying Insurance.
(3)      In no event shall any failure to pay on the part of an issuer of Underlying Insurance cause the
  Insurer      to be liable under this Policy earlier or to any greater extent than the Insurer would have
  been      if such issuer had paid its policy’s full limit of liability. Except as expressly provided in
  paragraph      (2) above, nothing in this endorsement shall be deemed to waive any term, condition or

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE – TERRORISM PREMIUM NOTICE

     To be attached to and made a part of Policy No. 24-MGU-22-A54574, issued to Fidelity Equity and High Income Funds by U.S. Specialty Insurance Company.

Your Policy contains coverage for certain losses caused by terrorism. We are required to notify you of the portion of the premium, if any, attributable to the coverage for terrorist acts certified under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended in 2019 (hereinafter “TRIA”). TRIA also requires us to provide disclosure of federal participation in payment of terrorism losses resulting from an “act of terrorism” as defined by Section 102(1) of TRIA.

Section 102(1) of TRIA defines the term “act of terrorism” as any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States – in concurrence with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General of the United States – to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier or vessel or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest, 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.

Please be advised that the actual coverage provided by your Policy for acts of terrorism, as is true for all coverages, is limited by the terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and other provisions of your Policy, any endorsements to the Policy and generally applicable rules of law.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT, WHERE COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BY THIS POLICY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM, SUCH LOSSES MAY BE PARTIALLY REIMBURSED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT UNDER A FORMULA ESTABLISHED BY FEDERAL LAW. UNDER THIS FORMULA, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT generally reimburses 80% beginning on January 1, 2020 of covered terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, contains a $100 billion cap that limits U.S. Government reimbursement as well as insurers’ liability for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism when the amount of such losses exceeds $100 billion in any one calendar year. If the aggregate insured losses for all insurers exceed $100 billion, your coverage may be reduced.

The amount of your premium that is attributable to coverage for terrorist acts certified under TRIA is $0.

All other terms, conditions and limitations of this Policy will remain unchanged.

Complete the following only when this endorsement is not prepared with the Policy or is not to be effective with the Policy.

I.      INSURING AGREEMENT
  The      Insurer shall provide the Insureds with insurance excess of the Underlying Insurance
  scheduled      in ITEM 4 of the Declarations. Except as specifically set forth in the terms, conditions
  or      endorsements of this Policy, coverage hereunder shall apply in conformance with the terms,
  conditions,      limitations and endorsements of the policy immediately underlying this Policy, except
  that      coverage hereunder shall attach only after all Underlying Insurance has been exhausted by
  actual      payment of claims or losses thereunder.
II.      PRIMARY AND UNDERLYING INSURANCE
  A.      Maintenance of Underlying Insurance
   All of the Underlying Insurance scheduled in ITEM 4 of the Declarations shall be maintained during the Policy Period in full effect except for any reduction of the limits of liability available under the Underlying Insurance solely by reason of actual payment of claims or losses thereunder. Subject at all times to Section II.B of this Policy, the Insurer shall not be liable under this policy earlier or to any greater extent than it would have been if the Insureds had complied with this condition.
  B.      Cancellation of Underlying Insurance
   This Policy shall terminate immediately upon the cancellation of any one or more of the policies scheduled in ITEM 4 of the Declarations, whether cancelled by the Insureds or the applicable insurer.

  D.      Underlying Insurance means all policies scheduled in ITEM 4 of the Declarations and any policies replacing them.
IV.      LIMITS OF LIABILITY
  A.      The amount or amounts stated in ITEM 3 of the Declarations are the limits of the Insurer’s liability and shall be the maximum amount(s) payable by the Insurer under this Policy. The limits of liability available under this Policy to pay damages or settlements shall be reduced, and may be exhausted, by the payment of defense expenses.
  B.      In the event of the reduction of the limits of liability of the Underlying Insurance solely as the result of actual payment of claims or losses thereunder by the applicable insurers, this Policy shall, subject to the Insurer’s limits of liability and to the other terms, conditions and endorsements of this Policy, continue to apply to claims or losses as excess insurance over the amount of insurance remaining under such Underlying Insurance.
  C.      In the event of the exhaustion of all of the limits of liability of such Underlying Insurance solely as the result of actual payment of claims or losses thereunder, the remaining limits available under this Policy shall, subject to the Insurer’s limits of liability and to the other terms, conditions and endorsements of this Policy, continue for subsequent claims or losses as primary insurance. Under such circumstances, any retention or deductible specified in the Primary Policy shall also apply to this Policy.
V.      SETTLEMENT
  The      Insureds shall not admit liability for or settle any claim for any amount that would involve
  the      coverage afforded by this Policy without the Insurer’s prior written consent.
VI.      CLAIM PARTICIPATION
  The      Insurer may, at its sole discretion, elect to participate in the investigation, settlement and/or
  defense      of any claim against the Insureds even if the Underlying Insurance has not been
  exhausted.     
VII.      SUBROGATION AND RECOVERIES
  A.      In the event of any payment under this Policy, the Insurer shall be subrogated to all the Insureds’ rights of recovery against any person or organization, and the Insureds shall execute and deliver all instruments and papers and do whatever else is necessary to secure such rights.
  B.      Any amount recovered after payment under this Policy shall be apportioned in the inverse order of payment to the extent of actual payment. The expenses of all such recovery proceedings shall be apportioned in the same ratio as the recoveries.
VIII.      NOTICES
  A.      If the Insureds give any notice of any matter under the Underlying Insurance, the Insureds must also give the Insurer written notice of such matter in the same manner as required by the terms and conditions of the Primary Policy, except that such written notice must be sent to the Insurer at the address set forth in ITEM 6 of the Declarations.
  B.      The Insureds shall give the Insurer notice in writing as soon as practicable of:

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE
NOTICE OF TERRORISM
INSURANCE COVERAGE

Coverage for acts of terrorism is included in your policy. You are hereby notified that the Terrorism Risk Insurance

Act, as amended in 2019, defines an act of terrorism in Section 102(1) of the Act: The term “act of terrorism” means any act or acts that are certified by the Secretary of the Treasury - in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Attorney General of the United States to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of certain air carriers or vessels or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been 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. Under your coverage, any losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism may be partially reimbursed by the United States Government under a formula established by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended. However, your policy may contain other exclusions which might affect your coverage, such as an exclusion for nuclear events. Under the formula, the United States Government generally reimburses 80% beginning on January

1, 2020, of covered terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, contains a $100 billion cap that limits U.S. Government reimbursement as well as insurers’ liability for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism when the amount of such losses exceeds $100 billion in any one calendar year. If the aggregate insured losses for all insurers exceed $100 billion, your coverage may be reduced.

The portion of your annual premium that is attributable to coverage for acts of terrorism is waived and does not include any charges for the portion of losses covered by the United States government under the Act.

We may share with our affiliated companies information that relates to our experience and transactions with the customer.

EXCESS POLICY COVERAGE FORM

THIS IS A CLAIMS MADE POLICY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, THIS POLICY ONLY APPLIES TO CLAIMS FIRST MADE DURING THE POLICY PERIOD. THE LIMIT OF LIABILITY AVAILABLE TO PAY DAMAGES OR SETTLEMENTS SHALL BE REDUCED AND MAY BE EXHAUSTED BY THE PAYMENT OF DEFENSE EXPENSES. THIS POLICY DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR ANY DUTY BY THE INSURER TO DEFEND ANY INSURED. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW THE POLICY CAREFULLY.

In consideration of the payment of the premium and in reliance on all statements made and information furnished to the Insurer identified in the Declarations (the Insurer) and to the issuer(s) of the Underlying Insurance, the Insurer and the insureds agree as follows:

I. INSURING AGREEMENT

The Insurer will provide coverage excess of the Underlying Insurance stated in ITEM 4 of the Declarations. Coverage hereunder will apply in conformance with the terms, conditions, endorsements and warranties of both the Primary Policy stated in ITEM 4 (A) of the Declarations and of any other Underlying Excess Policy stated in ITEM 4 (B) of the Declarations. The coverage hereunder will attach only after all of the Underlying Insurance has been exhausted by the actual payment of covered amounts under the Underlying Insurance by the applicable insurers thereunder or by any other source. To the extent that any terms, conditions, and endorsements of the Policy may be inconsistent with any terms, conditions, and endorsements of the Underlying Insurance, the terms, conditions, and endorsements of this Policy shall govern.

II. DEPLETION OF UNDERLYING LIMITS OF LIABILITY

The coverage hereunder shall attach only after the limits of all Underlying Insurance have been exhausted by payment of covered amounts. Subject to the terms, conditions, and endorsements of this Policy and the Underlying Insurance, this Policy will continue to apply to covered amounts as primary insurance in the event of the exhaustion of all of the limits of liability of such Underlying Insurance as the result of the actual payment of covered amounts by the applicable insurer thereunder or by any other source. Any risk of uncollectibility with respect to the Underlying Insurance will be expressly retained by the insureds and will not be assumed by the Insurer.

III. RIGHTS AND CLAIM PARTICIPATION

The Insurer shall have the same rights, privileges and protections afforded to the insurer(s) of the Underlying Insurance and may, at its sole discretion, elect to participate in the investigation, settlement and/or defense of any claim against the insureds even if the Underlying Insurance has not been exhausted. The insureds will provide such information and cooperation as is reasonably requested. The insureds shall not do anything that prejudices the Insurer’s position or potential rights of recovery, including, but not limited to, terminating any Underlying Insurance.

IV. LIMIT OF LIABILITY

The amount stated in ITEM 3 of the Declarations is the limit of liability of the Insurer and shall be the maximum amount payable, including defense expenses, by the Insurer under this Policy. Defense expenses are part of and not in addition to the limit of liability and the payment of such will reduce the limit of liability.

V.      NOTICE, ALTERATION, AND TERMINATION
(A)      Where the Underlying Insurance permits or requires notice to the Insurer, the insureds shall have the same obligations and rights to notify the Insurer under this Policy. All notices required under the Underlying Insurance policies and this Policy shall be sent to the address set forth in ITEM (5) of the Declarations: Attention Claim Department or by electronic mail to: proclaimnewnotices@xlgroup.com. Notice given to any underlying insurer will not be deemed notice to the Insurer.
(B)      No change in or modification of this Policy shall be effective unless made by endorsement. In the event of a change of any kind to any Underlying Insurance that broadens or expands coverage, this Policy will become subject to such change only if and to the extent that the Insurer consents to such change in writing and the insured pays any additional premium that may be required by the Insurer.
(C)      This Policy will terminate immediately upon the termination of any of the Underlying Insurance, whether cancelled by the insured or the applicable insurer. Notice of cancellation or non-renewal of any such policies duly given by any of the applicable insurers shall serve as notice of the cancellation or non-renewal of this Policy by the Insurer.

   Carrier      or any other entity actually makes payment for part or all of such Loss, then the

(3)      In no event shall any failure to pay on the part of an issuer of Underlying Insurance cause the
  Insurer      to be liable under this Policy earlier or to any greater extent than the Insurer would have
  been      if such issuer had paid its policy’s full limit of liability. Except as expressly provided in

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE – TERRORISM PREMIUM NOTICE

To be attached to and made a part of Policy No. 24-MGU-22-A54576, issued to

Fidelity Fixed Income and Asset Allocation Funds by U.S. Specialty Insurance Company.

Your Policy contains coverage for certain losses caused by terrorism. We are required to notify you of the portion of the premium, if any, attributable to the coverage for terrorist acts certified under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended in 2019 (hereinafter “TRIA”). TRIA also requires us to provide disclosure of federal participation in payment of terrorism losses resulting from an “act of terrorism” as defined by Section 102(1) of TRIA.

Section 102(1) of TRIA defines the term “act of terrorism” as any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States – in concurrence with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General of the United States – to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier or vessel or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest, 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.

Please be advised that the actual coverage provided by your Policy for acts of terrorism, as is true for all coverages, is limited by the terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and other provisions of your Policy, any endorsements to the Policy and generally applicable rules of law.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT, WHERE COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BY THIS POLICY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM, SUCH LOSSES MAY BE PARTIALLY REIMBURSED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT UNDER A FORMULA ESTABLISHED BY FEDERAL LAW. UNDER THIS FORMULA, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT generally reimburses 80% beginning on January 1, 2020 of covered terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, contains a $100 billion cap that limits U.S. Government reimbursement as well as insurers’ liability for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism when the amount of such losses exceeds $100 billion in any one calendar year. If the aggregate insured losses for all insurers exceed $100 billion, your coverage may be reduced.

The amount of your premium that is attributable to coverage for terrorist acts certified under TRIA is $0.

All other terms, conditions and limitations of this Policy will remain unchanged.

Complete the following only when this endorsement is not prepared with the Policy or is not to be effective with the Policy.

IV.      LIMITS OF LIABILITY
  A.      The amount or amounts stated in ITEM 3 of the Declarations are the limits of the Insurer’s liability and shall be the maximum amount(s) payable by the Insurer under this Policy. The limits of liability available under this Policy to pay damages or settlements shall be reduced, and may be exhausted, by the payment of defense expenses.
  B.      In the event of the reduction of the limits of liability of the Underlying Insurance solely as the result of actual payment of claims or losses thereunder by the applicable insurers, this Policy shall, subject to the Insurer’s limits of liability and to the other terms, conditions and endorsements of this Policy, continue to apply to claims or losses as excess insurance over the amount of insurance remaining under such Underlying Insurance.
  C.      In the event of the exhaustion of all of the limits of liability of such Underlying Insurance solely as the result of actual payment of claims or losses thereunder, the remaining limits available under this Policy shall, subject to the Insurer’s limits of liability and to the other terms, conditions and endorsements of this Policy, continue for subsequent claims or losses as primary insurance. Under such circumstances, any retention or deductible specified in the Primary Policy shall also apply to this Policy.

  the      coverage afforded by this Policy without the Insurer’s prior written consent.

VIII.      NOTICES
  A.      If the Insureds give any notice of any matter under the Underlying Insurance, the Insureds must also give the Insurer written notice of such matter in the same manner as required by the terms and conditions of the Primary Policy, except that such written notice must be sent to the Insurer at the address set forth in ITEM 6 of the Declarations.
  B.      The Insureds shall give the Insurer notice in writing as soon as practicable of:

THE HARTFORD UNIVERSAL EXCESSSM SIMPLIFIED POLICY

In consideration of the payment of the Premium and in reliance upon any application, materials or information made available by or on behalf of the Insured(s) to the Underwriters during the application or proposal process, the Underwriters and the Insured(s) agree as follows:

I. INSURING AGREEMENT - FOLLOW FORM COVERAGE

This policy shall provide coverage in excess of the total limits of liability and any retention/deductible of the Underlying Insurance. Coverage shall follow form to the same terms, conditions, and limitations as are contained in the Primary Policy or any Underlying Excess Policy(ies) as of the incepti on of this policy, except as otherwise provided herein. In no event shall this policy grant broader coverage than is provided by either the Primary Policy or any one of the Underlying Excess Policy(ies).

II.      UNDERLYING INSURANCE
A.      EXHAUSTION OR REDUCTION: It is expressly agreed that liability for any Loss shall attach to the Underwriters only after either: (i) the insurer(s) of the Primary Policy and Underlying Excess Policy(ies) shall have paid the full amount of their respective liability for such Loss; or (ii) the Insured(s) shall have paid, in the applicable legal currency, any portion of such Loss that, together with any payments by such insurer(s) above, equals the limits of liability of the Underlying Insurance. The Underwriters shall then be liable to pay additional amounts of Loss up to the Limit of Liability. In the event such payments described above exhaust the Underlying Insurance but not this policy, then this policy shall continue as primary insurance, subject to its terms, conditions and limitations, and shall apply a retention/deductible as set forth in the Primary Policy to any subsequent Claim. In the event such payments described above only reduce the Underlying Insurance, then this policy shall continue as excess of the reduced Underlying Insurance. In no way shall any payments by the Insured(s) constitute a waiver of any terms, conditions or limitations of the Underlying Insurance or of this policy.
B.      SUB-LIMITS: If the Primary Policy provides coverage that is subject to a sub-limit of liability, then this policy shall not apply to any Claim that is subject to such sub-limit. However, any such coverage shall be recognized solely for the purposes of reducing or exhausting the Underlying Insurance.
C.      MAINTENANCE: The Insured(s) agree that the Underlying Insurance shall be maintained in full effect while this policy is in force. If the Insured(s) fail to do so, the Underwriters shall only be liable to the extent it would have been liable had the Insured(s) maintained such insurance and the Insur ed(s) shall be self-insured for the amount of the Underlying Insurance which is not maintained.
III.      PARTICIPATION, COOPERATION, NOTICE AND CANCELLATION

The Underwriters may, at their sole option, elect to participate in the investigation, settlement or defense of any Claim even if the Underlying Insurance has not been exhausted. The Insured(s) shall give the Underwriters all information and cooperation as the Underwriters may reasonably require. All notices shall be given to the Underwriters at the applicable address set forth in either Item E. or Item F. of the Declarations and in accordance with all appropriate notice provisions of the Underlying Insurance. This policy may only be cancelled in accordance with the appropriate cancellation provisions of the Underlying Insurance.

IV. DEFINITIONS

1. Insured(s) shall mean those individuals and/or entities insured under the Underlying Insurance. 2. Primary Policy means the policy in Item D.(1) of the Declarations.

3. Underlying Excess Policy(ies) means the policy(ies) in Item D.(2) of the Declarations.

4. Underlying Insurance means all those policies in Item D. of the Declarations.

0.      Underwriters, Premium, Policy Period and Limit of Liability shall have the meanings set forth in the Declarations.
5.      All other capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Underlying Insurance.

V. EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD

If the Insured(s) elect and are granted an extended reporting period under all of the Underlying Insurance, then the Insured(s), by meeting the following requirements, may also elect an extended reporting period under this policy. The requirements of this policy are: (i) satisfying the same conditions as set forth in the Underlying Insurance; and (ii) paying the additional premium set forth in Item G.(1) of the Declarations. Such extended reporting period shall be for the period of time set forth in Item G.(2) of the Declarations.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY, OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSETS

CONTROL ("OFAC") ADVISORY NOTICE TO POLICYHOLDERS

No coverage is provided by this Policyholder Notice nor can it be construed to replace any provisions of your policy. You should read your policy and review your Declarations page for complete information on the coverages you are provided.

This Notice provides information concerning possible impact on your insurance coverage due to directives issued by the United States. Please read this Notice carefully.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the U.S. Department of the Treasury ad ministers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the prolife ration of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States. OFAC acts under Presidential national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and freeze assets under U.S. jurisdiction. OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country -specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" or "SDNs". Their assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them. This list can be located on OFAC's web site at http//www.treas.gov/ofac.

In accordance with OFAC regulations, if it is determined that you or any other insured, or any person or entity claiming the benefits of this insurance has violated U.S. sanctions law or is an SDN, as identified by OFAC, the policy is a blocked contract and all dealings with it must involve OFAC. When an insurance policy is considered to be suck a blocked or frozen contract, no payments nor premium refunds may be made without authorization from OFAC.

THE HARTFORD UNIVERSAL EXCESSSM SIMPLIFIED POLICY

In consideration of the payment of the Premium and in reliance upon any application, materials or information made available by or on behalf of the Insured(s) to the Underwriters during the application or proposal process, the Underwriters and the Insured(s) agree as follows:

I. INSURING AGREEMENT - FOLLOW FORM COVERAGE

This policy shall provide coverage in excess of the total limits of liability and any retention/deductible of the Underlying Insurance. Coverage shall follow form to the same terms, conditions, and limitations as are contained in the Primary Policy or any Underlying Excess Policy(ies) as of the inception of this policy, except as otherwise provided herein. In no event shall this policy grant broader coverage than is provided by either the Pri mary Policy or any one of the Underlying Excess Policy(ies).

II.      UNDERLYING INSURANCE
A.      EXHAUSTION OR REDUCTION: It is expressly agreed that liability for any Loss shall attach to the Underwriters only after either: (i) the insurer(s) of the Primary Policy and Underlying Excess Policy(ies) shall have paid the full amount of their respective liability for such Loss; or (ii) the Insured(s) shall have paid, in the applicable legal currency, any portion of such Loss that, together with any payments by suc h insurer(s) above, equals the limits of liability of the Underlying Insurance. The Underwriters shall then be liable to pay additional amounts of Loss up to the Limit of Liability. In the event such payments described above exhaust the Underlying Insuranc e but not this policy, then this policy shall continue as primary insurance, subject to its terms, conditions and limitations, and shall apply a retention/deductible as set forth in the Primary Policy to any subsequent Claim. In the event such payments described above only reduce the Underlying Insurance, then this policy shall continue as excess of the reduced Underlying Insurance. In no way shall any payments by the Insured(s) constitute a waiver of any terms, conditions or limitations of the Underlying Insurance or of this policy.
B.      SUB-LIMITS: If the Primary Policy provides coverage that is subject to a sub-limit of liability, then this policy shall not apply to any Claim that is subject to such sub-limit. However, any such coverage shall be recognized solely for the purposes of reducing or exhausting the Underlying Insurance.
C.      MAINTENANCE: The Insured(s) agree that the Underlying Insurance shall be maintained in full effect while this policy is in force. If the Insured(s) fail to do so, the Underwriters sha ll only be liable to the extent it would have been liable had the Insured(s) maintained such insurance and the Insured(s) shall be self -insured for the amount of the Underlying Insurance which is not maintained.
III.      PARTICIPATION, COOPERATION, NOTICE AND CANCELLATION

The Underwriters may, at their sole option, elect to participate in the investigation, settlement or defense of any Claim even if the Underlying Insurance has not been exhausted. The Insured(s) shall give the Underwriters all inform ation and cooperation as the Underwriters may reasonably require. All notices shall be given to the Underwriters at the applicable address set forth in either Item E. or Item F. of the Declarations and in accordance with all appropriate notice provisions o f the Underlying Insurance. This policy may only be cancelled in accordance with the appropriate cancellation provisions of the Underlying Insurance.

IV . DEFINITIONS

1. Insured(s) shall mean those individuals and/or entities insured under the Underlying Insurance. 2. Primary Policy means the policy in Item D.(1) of the Declarations.

3. Underlying Excess Policy(ies) means the policy(ies) in Item D.(2) of the Declarations.

4. Underlying Insurance means all those policies in Item D. of the Declarations.

0.      Underwriters, Premium, Policy Period and Limit of Liability shall have the meanings set forth in the Declarations.
5.      All other capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Underlying Insurance.
V.      EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD

If the Insured(s) elect and are granted an extended reporting period under all of the Underlying Insurance, then the Insured(s), by meeting the following requirements, may also elect an extended reporting period under this policy. The requirements of this policy are: (i) satisfying the same conditions as set forth in the Underlying Insurance; and (ii) paying the additional premium set forth in Item G.(1) of the Declarations. Such extended reporting period shall be for the period of time set forth in Item G.(2) of the Declarations.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY, OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL

("OFAC") ADVISORY NOTICE TO POLICYHOLDERS

No coverage is provided by this Policyholder Notice nor can it be construed to replace any provisions of your policy. You should read your policy and review your Declarations page for complete information on the coverages you are provided.

This Notice provides information concerning possible impact on your insurance coverage due to directives issued by the United States. Please read this Notice carefully.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the U.S. Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States. OFAC acts under Presidential national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and freeze assets under U.S. jurisdiction. OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called "Specially Designated Nationa ls and Blocked Persons" or "SDNs". Their assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them. This list can be located on OFAC's web site at http//www.treas.gov/ofac.

In accordance with OFAC regulations, if it is determined that you or any other insured, or any person or entity claiming the benefits of this insurance has violated U.S. sanctions law or is an SDN, as identified by OFAC, the policy is a blocked contract and all dealings with it must involve OFAC. When an insurance policy is considered to be such a blocked or frozen contract, no payments nor premium refunds may be made without authorization from OFAC.

EXCESS INSURANCE POLICY
Crime and Fidelity

UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWED POLICY, THIS POLICY APPLIES ONLY TO LOSSES FIRST DISCOVERED BY THE INSURED DURING THE POLICY PERIOD OR EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD.

In consideration of the payment of the premium and in reliance upon the application (as defined in the Followed Policy) and any information submitted therewith, and subject to the Declarations and terms and conditions of this Policy, the persons and entities entitled to coverage under the Followed Policy (the “Insureds”) and the Insurer agree as follows:

I.      INSURING AGREEMENT
  The      Insurer shall provide insurance coverage excess of the Underlying Limits in accordance with the
  same      terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions and limitations as are contained in the Followed Policy,
  except      with respect to the premium, the limit of liability and as otherwise provided herein.
II.      DEFINITIONS
  “Financial      Insolvency” means the status of any Underlying Insurer being subject to the appoint-
  ment,      by any state, federal or foreign official, agency or court, of any receiver, conservator, liquidator,
  trustee,      rehabilitator or similar official to take control of, supervise, manage or liquidate such Underly-
  ing      Insurer.
III.      REDUCTION OR EXHAUSTION OF UNDERLYING LIMITS
  A.      The Insurer shall not provide any coverage under this Policy until the full amount of the Underlying
   Limits      has been exhausted through payments by, on behalf of or in the place of the Underlying
   Insurers      of amounts covered under the terms of the Underlying Policies by any or all of the
   following:     
   (1)      the Underlying Insurers under the Underlying Policies;
   (2)      the Insured; or
   (3)      any other source.
  B.      In the event that Underlying Limits are partially reduced by reason of actual payments as
   described      in Section III.A. above, then subject to the Limit of Liability this Policy shall continue to
   apply      as excess over the reduced Underlying Limits.
  C.      1. In the event that a Single Loss Limit of Liability is selected in Item 2.A. of the Declarations, and

the Underlying Polices have paid the full amount of their Single Loss Underlying Limits for each and every Underlying Policy as applicable, as described in Section III.A. above (and the full amount of any applicable deductible or uninsured retention has been paid under the Followed Policy by the Insured or others), then subject to the Single Loss Limit of Liability set forth on the Declarations of this Policy, this Policy shall continue to apply as primary insurance in accordance with the terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions and limitations of the Followed Policy and the terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions and limitations of this Policy; provided always that this Policy shall only pay excess of such deductible or retention, which shall be applied in the same manner as specified in the Followed Policy.

  2. In the event that an Annual Aggregate Limit of Liability is selected in Item 2.B. of the
   Declarations, and the Underlying Limits are wholly exhausted by reason of actual payments as described in Section III.A. above (and the full amount of any applicable deductible or uninsured retention has been paid under the Followed Policy by the Insured or others), then subject to the Limit of Liability this Policy shall continue to apply as primary insurance in accordance with the terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions and limitations of the Followed Policy and the terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions and limitations of this Policy; provided always that this Policy shall only pay excess of such deductible or retention, which shall be applied in the same manner as specified in the Followed Policy.
  D.      This Policy shall only pay in the event of the reduction or exhaustion of the Underlying Limits by
   reason      of actual payments as described in Section III.A. above and shall not drop down for any
   other      reason, including but not limited to the existence of any sub-limit in any Underlying Policy;
   provided,      however, this Policy will recognize erosion of any of the Underlying Policies due to the
   existence      of a sub-limit.
  E.      The Insureds expressly retain the risk of any gap in coverage or uncollectibility and the Insurer
   does      not in any way insure or assume such risk.
IV.      CONDITIONS OF COVERAGE
  A.      As a condition precedent to this Policy’s coverage, in the event of the Financial Insolvency of any
   of      the Underlying Policies or the reduction or exhaustion of any of the Underlying Policies, the
   Insureds      shall notify the Insurer in writing as soon as practicable thereafter, with full particulars.
  B.      If during the Policy Period or any discovery or extended reporting period, any terms, definitions,
   conditions,      exclusions and limitations of the Followed Policy are changed, this Policy shall not be

EXCESS INSURANCE POLICY
Crime and Fidelity

UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWED POLICY, THIS POLICY APPLIES ONLY TO LOSSES FIRST DISCOVERED BY THE INSURED DURING THE POLICY PERIOD OR EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD.

In consideration of the payment of the premium and in reliance upon the application (as defined in the Followed Policy) and any information submitted therewith, and subject to the Declarations and terms and conditions of this Policy, the persons and entities entitled to coverage under the Followed Policy (the “Insureds”) and the Insurer agree as follows:

I.      INSURING AGREEMENT
  The      Insurer shall provide insurance coverage excess of the Underlying Limits in accordance with the
  same      terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions and limitations as are contained in the Followed Policy,
  except      with respect to the premium, the limit of liability and as otherwise provided herein.
II.      DEFINITIONS
  “Financial      Insolvency” means the status of any Underlying Insurer being subject to the appoint-
  ment,      by any state, federal or foreign official, agency or court, of any receiver, conservator, liquidator,
  trustee,      rehabilitator or similar official to take control of, supervise, manage or liquidate such Underly-
  ing      Insurer.
III.      REDUCTION OR EXHAUSTION OF UNDERLYING LIMITS
  A.      The Insurer shall not provide any coverage under this Policy until the full amount of the Underlying
   Limits      has been exhausted through payments by, on behalf of or in the place of the Underlying
   Insurers      of amounts covered under the terms of the Underlying Policies by any or all of the
   following:     
   (1)      the Underlying Insurers under the Underlying Policies;
   (2)      the Insured; or
   (3)      any other source.
  B.      In the event that Underlying Limits are partially reduced by reason of actual payments as
   described      in Section III.A. above, then subject to the Limit of Liability this Policy shall continue to
   apply      as excess over the reduced Underlying Limits.
  C.      1. In the event that a Single Loss Limit of Liability is selected in Item 2.A. of the Declarations, and

the Underlying Polices have paid the full amount of their Single Loss Underlying Limits for each and every Underlying Policy as applicable, as described in Section III.A. above (and the full amount of any applicable deductible or uninsured retention has been paid under the Followed Policy by the Insured or others), then subject to the Single Loss Limit of Liability set forth on the Declarations of this Policy, this Policy shall continue to apply as primary insurance in accordance with the terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions and limitations of the Followed Policy and the terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions and limitations of this Policy; provided always that this Policy shall only pay excess of such deductible or retention, which shall be applied in the same manner as specified in the Followed Policy.

  2. In the event that an Annual Aggregate Limit of Liability is selected in Item 2.B. of the
   Declarations, and the Underlying Limits are wholly exhausted by reason of actual payments as described in Section III.A. above (and the full amount of any applicable deductible or uninsured retention has been paid under the Followed Policy by the Insured or others), then subject to the Limit of Liability this Policy shall continue to apply as primary insurance in accordance with the terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions and limitations of the Followed Policy and the terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions and limitations of this Policy; provided always that this Policy shall only pay excess of such deductible or retention, which shall be applied in the same manner as specified in the Followed Policy.
  D.      This Policy shall only pay in the event of the reduction or exhaustion of the Underlying Limits by
   reason      of actual payments as described in Section III.A. above and shall not drop down for any
   other      reason, including but not limited to the existence of any sub-limit in any Underlying Policy;
   provided,      however, this Policy will recognize erosion of any of the Underlying Policies due to the
   existence      of a sub-limit.
  E.      The Insureds expressly retain the risk of any gap in coverage or uncollectibility and the Insurer
   does      not in any way insure or assume such risk.
IV.      CONDITIONS OF COVERAGE
  A.      As a condition precedent to this Policy’s coverage, in the event of the Financial Insolvency of any
   of      the Underlying Policies or the reduction or exhaustion of any of the Underlying Policies, the
   Insureds      shall notify the Insurer in writing as soon as practicable thereafter, with full particulars.
  B.      If during the Policy Period or any discovery or extended reporting period, any terms, definitions,
   conditions,      exclusions and limitations of the Followed Policy are changed, this Policy shall not be
   subject      to such change unless the Insurer consents by written endorsement to this Policy.
