"Loss" shall mean all and any amounts for which Insurers are liable to the Insured pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Policy and, for the avoidance of doubt and subject only to the operation of any express terms hereof in accordance with clause 1.1 above, this Policy shall be liable to pay as Loss all losses, costs, liabilities or damages and other expenses of the Insured as are covered by the Primary Policy of whatever nature and howsoever described by the Primary Policy.

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.

4. Step-Down of Cover

Subject always to the Limit of Liability:

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

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

6.1	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

(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 members of a

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.

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 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

	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.

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.

7.3	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.

500,000	in respect of any one SCAP Claim (Liability Cap).

Subscribing	(Re)Insurers shall each be entitled to be paid
only	a share of the Liability Cap calculated in proportion to

XIS shall then notify Insurers. Payment to any entity within the same group of companies as the Appointed Broker will be deemed to be payment to the Appointed Broker.

Nothing in this clause shall be construed to override the terms of any Premium Payment Warranty or Clause or any Termination or Cancellation provision contained in this contract. Furthermore, any amendment to the Settlement Due Date of a premium instalment as a result of the operation of this Premium Processing Clause shall not amend the date that such instalment is deemed to be due for the purposes of such Premium Payment Warranty or Clause or Termination or Cancellation provision unless Insurers expressly agree otherwise.

	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:

(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,

3. SECURITY DETAILS
(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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Coverage under this bond shall follow the terms and conditions of the Primary Bond, except with respect to:

a.	Any coverage exceptions specified by riders attached to this bond;
b.	The deductible amounts and limits of liability as stated in ITEM 3. of the Declarations; and
c.	The General Agreements, Provisions, Conditions and Limitations set forth herein.

GENERAL AGREEMENTS

A.	CHANGE OR MODIFICATION OF PRIMARY BOND
	If after the inception date of this bond the Primary Bond is changed or modified, written notice of any such change or modification shall be given to the Underwriter as soon as practicable, not to exceed thirty (30) days after such change or modification, together with such information as the Underwriter may request. There shall be no coverage under this bond for any loss arising from or in any way related to such change or modification until such time as the Underwriter is advised of and specifically agrees by written endorsement to provide coverage for such change or modification.
B.	LOSS--NOTICE--PROOF--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
	This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured and the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured (except that if the Insured includes such other loss in the Insured’s proof of loss, the Underwriter shall consider its liability therefor.) As soon as practicable and not more than sixty (60) days after discovery of any loss covered hereunder, the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice thereof and, as soon as practicable and within one year after such discovery, shall also furnish to the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars.

Upon payment to the Insured hereunder for any loss, the Underwriter shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the Insured’s rights and claims in connection with such loss; provided, however, that the Underwriter shall not be subrogated to any such rights or claims one named Insured under this bond may have against another named Insured under this bond.

This bond may only be modified by written Rider forming a part hereof over the signature of the Underwriter’s authorized representative.

Most property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group (“ICI Mutual”), are subject to the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (the “Act”). The Act establishes a federal insurance backstop under which ICI Mutual and these other insurers may be partially reimbursed by the United States Government for future “insured losses” resulting from certified “acts of terrorism.” (Each of these bolded terms is defined by the Act.) The Act also places certain disclosure and other obligations on ICI Mutual and these other insurers.

Pursuant to the Act, any future losses to ICI Mutual caused by certified “acts of terrorism” may be partially reimbursed by the United Sates government under a formula established by the Act. Under this formula, the United States government would generally reimburse ICI Mutual for the Federal Share of Compensation of ICI Mutual’s “insured losses” in excess of ICI Mutual’s “insurer deductible” until total “insured losses” of all participating insurers reach $100 billion (the “Cap on Annual Liability”). If total “insured losses” of all property and casualty insurers reach the Cap on Annual Liability in any one calendar year, the Act limits U.S. Government reimbursement and provides that the insurers will not be liable under their policies for their portions of such losses that exceed such amount. Amounts otherwise payable under this Bond may be reduced as a result.

This Bond has no express exclusion for “acts of terrorism.” However, coverage under this Bond remains subject to all applicable terms, conditions, and limitations of the Bond (including exclusions) that are permissible under the Act.

The portion of the premium that is attributable to any coverage potentially available under the Bond for “acts of terrorism” is one percent (1 %) and does not include any charges for the portion of loss that may be covered by the U.S. Government under the Act

As used herein, “Federal Share of Compensation” shall mean 85% in calendar year 2015 and shall be reduced by 1% per calendar year until equal to 80%.

Except as above stated, nothing herein shall be held to alter, waive or extend any of the terms of this Bond.

Coverage under this bond shall follow the terms and conditions of the Primary Bond, except with respect to:

a.	Any coverage exceptions specified by riders attached to this bond;
b.	The deductible amounts and limits of liability as stated in ITEM 3. of the Declarations; and
c.	The General Agreements, Provisions, Conditions and Limitations set forth herein.

GENERAL AGREEMENTS

A.	CHANGE OR MODIFICATION OF PRIMARY BOND

There shall be no coverage under this bond for any loss arising from or in any way related to such change or modification until such time as the Underwriter is advised of and specifically agrees by written endorsement to provide coverage for such change or modification.
B.	LOSS--NOTICE--PROOF--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
	This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured and the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured (except that if the Insured includes such other loss in the Insured’s proof of loss, the Underwriter shall consider its liability therefor.) As soon as practicable and not more than sixty (60) days after discovery of any loss covered hereunder, the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice thereof and, as soon as practicable and within one year after such discovery, shall also furnish to the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars. The Underwriter may extend the sixty day notice period or the one year proof of loss period if the Insured requests an extension and shows good cause therefor.
	The Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss of Securities unless each of the Securities is identified in such proof of loss by a certificate or bond number or by such identification means as the Underwriter may require. The Underwriter shall have a reasonable period after receipt of a proper affirmative proof of loss within which to investigate the claim, but where the loss is of Securities and is clear and undisputed, settlement shall be made within forty-eight (48) hours even if the loss involves Securities of which duplicates may be obtained.
	The Insured shall not bring legal proceedings against the Underwriter to recover any loss hereunder
prior	to sixty (60) days after filing such proof of loss or subsequent to twenty-four (24) months after
the	discovery of such loss or, in the case of a legal proceeding to recover hereunder on account of

The AXA XL insurance group (the “Companies”), believes personal information that we collect about our customers, potential customers, and proposed insureds (referred to collectively in this Privacy Policy as “customers”) must be treated with the highest degree of confidentiality. For this reason and in compliance with the Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”), we have developed a Privacy Policy that applies to all of our companies. For purposes of our Privacy Policy, the term “personal information” includes all information we obtain about a customer and maintain in a personally identifiable way. In order to assure the confidentiality of the personal information we collect and in order to comply with applicable laws, all individuals with access to personal information about our customers are required to follow this policy.

Information and the analysis of information is essential to the business of insurance and critical to our ability to provide to you excellent, cost-effective service and products. We understand that gaining and keeping your trust depends upon the security and integrity of our records concerning you. Accordingly, we promise that:

2.	We will verify and exchange information regarding your credit and financial status only for the purposes of underwriting, policy administration, or risk management and only with reputable references and clearinghouse services;

4.	We will train our employees to handle information about you or your business in a secure and confidential manner and only permit employees authorized to use such information to have access to such information;
5.	We will not disclose information about you or your business to any organization outside the XL Catlin insurance group of Companies or to third party service providers unless we disclose to you our intent to do so or we are required to do so by law;
6.	We will not disclose medical information about you, your employees, or any claimants under any policy of insurance, unless you provide us with written authorization to do so, or unless the disclosure is for any specific business exception provided in the law;
7.	We will attempt, with your help, to keep our records regarding you and your business complete and accurate, and will advise you how and where to access your account information (unless prohibited by law), and will advise you how to correct errors or make changes to that information; and

We will share with you any facts that we collect about your claim unless we are prohibited by law from doing so. The process of claim investigation, evaluation, and settlement also involves, however, the collection of advice, opinions, and comments from many people, including attorneys and experts, to aid the claim specialist in determining how best to handle your claim. In order to protect the legal and transactional confidentiality and privileges associated with such opinions, comments and advice, we will not disclose this information to you; and

Personal information may be disclosed to an unaffiliated third party for necessary servicing of the product or service or for other normal business transactions as permitted by law.

Unless a consumer consents, we do not disclose “consumer credit report” type information obtained from an application or a credit report regarding a customer who applies for a financial product to any unaffiliated third party for the purpose of serving as a factor in establishing a consumer’s eligibility for credit, insurance or employment. “Consumer credit report type information” means such things as net worth, credit worthiness, lifestyle information (piloting, skydiving, etc.) solvency, etc. We also do not disclose to any unaffiliated third party a policy or account number for use in marketing. We may share with our affiliated companies information that relates to our experience and transactions with the customer.

Policy for Personal Information Relating to Nonpublic Personal Health Information

We do not disclose nonpublic personal health information about a customer unless an authorization is obtained from the customer whose nonpublic personal information is sought to be disclosed. However, an authorization shall not be prohibited, restricted or required for the disclosure of certain insurance functions, including, but not limited to, claims administration, claims adjustment and management, detection, investigation or reporting of actual or potential fraud, misrepresentation or criminal activity, underwriting, policy placement or issuance, loss control and/or auditing.

When the Insured learns of a change in control, it must give written notice thereof to the Underwriter. As used in this General Agreement, “control” means the power to determine the management or policy of the Insured or of a controlling holding company by virtue of voting stock ownership. A change in ownership of voting stock which results in direct or indirect ownership by a stockholder or an affiliated group of stockholders of fifteen percent (15%) or more of such stock will be presumed to result in a change of control for the purpose of the required notice. Failure to give the required notice will result in termination of coverage for any loss involving a transferee, to be effective upon the date of stock transfer. The entire premium for this Excess Bond will be deemed to have been fully earned as of the effective date of any change in control of the Insured, including but not limited to the taking over of the Insured by a receiver or other liquidator or by State or Federal officials.

CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS

Section 1. LIMIT OF LIABILITY – NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY

(A)

The Underwriter’s total liability under this Excess Bond for all loss, regardless of when paid, will not exceed the Aggregate Limit of Liability in ITEM 3 of the Declarations of this Excess Bond. The Aggregate Limit of Liability will be reduced by the amount of any payment made under this Excess Bond. Upon exhaustion of the Aggregate Limit of Liability by such payments, the Underwriter will have no further liability under this Excess Bond for loss, whether or not previously reported to the Underwriter. The Aggregate Limit of Liability will not be increased or reinstated by any recovery made and applied in accordance with Section 5 hereunder or by any portion of any Aggregate Limit of Liability under any previous Bond.

(B)	Subject to the Aggregate Limit of Liability, the Underwriter’s liability for each Single Loss will not
	exceed	the applicable Single Loss Limit of Liability in ITEM 4 of the Declarations of this Excess Bond.
	For	purposes of this Section 1(B), Single Loss means all covered loss resulting from
	(i)	any one act or series of related acts of burglary, robbery or attempt thereat, in which no employee of the Insured is implicated, or
	(ii)	any one act or series of related unintentional or negligent acts or omissions on the part of any person (whether or not an employee of the Insured) resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of property, or
	(iii)	all acts or omissions other than those specified in (i) and (ii) preceding, caused by any person (whether or not an employee of the Insured) or in which such person is implicated, or
	(iv)	any one casualty or event not specified in (i), (ii) or (iii) preceding;
	unless	such term is defined differently in the bond identified in ITEM 5(A) of the Declarations of this
	Excess	Bond, in which case Single Loss will have the meaning set forth in such bond.
(C)	Neither the Aggregate Limit of Liability nor the Single Loss Limit of Liability will be cumulative in
	amount	from Bond Period to Bond Period regardless of the number of years this Excess Bond may be
	in	force, the number of times this Excess Bond may be renewed or the number of Bond Periods in
	which	the acts giving rise to any loss occurred or were committed.

Section 2. EXHAUSTION OF UNDERLYING COVERAGE

(A)	The Underwriter will be liable to pay loss only if and when the total amount of the limit of liability applicable to such loss under the Underlying Coverage has been exhausted solely by the actual payment of loss under the Underlying Coverage.
(B)	In the event that the limit of liability applicable to any loss under the Underlying Coverage has been reduced, but not exhausted, solely by the actual payment of loss under the Underlying Coverage, this Excess Bond will pay covered loss which is excess of the reduced total amount of the limit of liability applicable to such loss under the Underlying Coverage, subject always to the Single Loss Limit of Liability and the remaining Aggregate Limit of Liability of this Excess Bond.
(C)	In the event of the exhaustion of the limit of liability applicable to any loss under the Underlying Coverage solely by the actual payment of loss under the Underlying Coverage, this Excess Bond will continue in force as primary insurance in respect of any subsequent loss which, but for such exhaustion, would have been covered under the Underlying Coverage, subject always to the Single Loss Limit of Liability and the remaining Aggregate Limit of Liability of this Excess Bond; provided, always, that this Excess Bond will pay only such loss which is excess over any retention or deductible that would have been applicable under the Underlying Coverage.

Section 3. MAINTENANCE OF UNDERLYING COVERAGE

(A)	The Insured must maintain the Underlying Coverage in full force and effect during the Bond Period, except for any reduction or exhaustion of any limit or limits of liability solely by the actual payment of loss. If for any reason the Underlying Coverage shall not have been so maintained, or if the Insured’s recovery under the Underlying Coverage is restricted or unavailable as a result of the insolvency of any issuer of any Underlying Coverage, this Excess Bond will apply excess of the applicable limit or limits of liability of the Underlying Coverage, plus any applicable retention or deductible, as if the Underlying Coverage had been maintained in full force and effect.
(B)	The Insured must notify the Underwriter in writing of any change or alteration of or amendment to the Underlying Coverage. This Excess Bond will not follow form of or be subject to any such change, alteration or amendment unless the Underwriter has so agreed by written endorsement to this Excess Bond and has received any additional premium that the Underwriter may require in connection therewith.
(C)	No claim, loss or coverage subject to any sublimit of liability (other than a single loss limit of liability) under any Underlying Coverage will be considered covered loss under this Excess Bond, but the

payment of such claim, loss or coverage under the Underlying Coverage will be recognized, to the extent of such payment, as reducing or exhausting the applicable limit or limits of liability of the Underlying Coverage for purposes of determining when coverage under this Excess Bond shall attach.

Section 4. NOTICE/PROOF – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST UNDERWRITER

(A)	The Insured must, within the time and manner prescribed in the bond identified in ITEM 5(A) of the Declarations of this Excess Bond, give the Underwriter notice of any discovery of loss of a kind that may be covered under this Excess Bond, whether or not the amount of such loss is known or expected to be in excess of the applicable limit or limits of liability under the Underlying Coverage and whether or not the Underwriter is or may be liable therefor in whole or in part. Upon the Underwriter’s request, the Insured must give the Underwriter a written statement of such loss and copies of all correspondence between the Insured and the issuer of any Underlying Coverage regarding such loss.
	Notice given by the Insured to any issuer of Underlying Coverage regarding the discovery of any loss will not constitute notice of such discovery of loss for purposes of this Section 4(A).
(B)	The Insured must, within the time and manner prescribed in the bond identified in ITEM 5(A) of the Declarations of this Excess Bond, file with the Underwriter a proof of loss for any loss of a kind that may be covered under this Excess Bond, whether or not the Underwriter is or may be liable therefor in whole or in part. Upon the Underwriter’s request, the Insured must give the Underwriter a written statement of such loss and copies of any proof of loss provided to any issuer of any Underlying Coverage and of all documents provided to or made available to any such issuer in support thereof.
	The filing by the Insured of a proof of loss under any Underlying Coverage will not constitute the filing of a proof of loss with the Underwriter for purposes of this Section 4(B).
(C)	Legal proceedings against the Underwriter may not be brought before the expiration of any period of limitation in any Underlying Coverage applicable to the commencement of legal proceedings against any issuer of any Underlying Coverage.
(D)	This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured named in the Declarations and the Underwriter will not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured. No suit, action or legal proceeding may be brought hereunder by any one other than the named Insured.
(E)	Notices and proofs of loss given to the Underwriter under this Excess Bond must be sent by certified mail or the equivalent to the following address:
	XL Insurance Claims – 100 Constitution Plaza, 13 Floor, Hartford, CT 06103

Section 5. SUBROGATION – ASSIGNMENT – RECOVERY – COOPERATION

(A)	In the event of payment under this Excess Bond, the Underwriter will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the Insured’s rights of recovery in connection therewith against any person or entity, and the Insured will deliver, if so requested by the Underwriter, an assignment of such of the Insured’s rights, titles and interests and causes of action as it has against any person or entity to the extent of such payment. The Insured must execute all papers and render assistance to secure to the Underwriter the rights and causes of action provided for herein. The Insured may do nothing after discovery of loss to prejudice such rights or causes of action.
(B)	Recoveries, whether effected by the Underwriter or by the Insured, will be applied net of the expense of such recovery, first, to the satisfaction of the Insured’s loss which would otherwise have been paid under this Excess Bond but for the fact that such loss was in excess of any applicable limit of liability hereunder, second, to the Underwriter as reimbursement of amounts paid under this Excess Bond in settlement of the Insured’s claim, and third, to the Insured and/or to the issuer or issuers of the Underlying Coverage, in accordance with their respective interests.
(C)	Upon the Underwriter’s request and at reasonable times and places designed by the Underwriter, the Insured must submit to examination by the Underwriter and subscribe to the same under oath,

produce for the Underwriter’s examination all pertinent records, and cooperate with the Underwriter in all matters pertaining to any loss.

Section 6. TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION

(A)

This Excess Bond terminates as an entirety upon the Insured’s receipt of a written notice from the Underwriter of its desire to cancel this Excess Bond in accordance with the conditions and limitations of any Underlying Coverage, or immediately upon the Underwriter’s receipt of a written notice from the Insured of its desire to cancel this Excess Bond, or immediately upon the cancellation, termination or nonrenewal of the bond identified in ITEM 5(A) of the Declarations of this Excess Bond.

(B)

This Excess Bond terminates as to any employee of the Insured immediately upon the termination of any Underlying Coverage as to such employee or, if any loss shall have become covered under this Excess Bond or this Excess Bond shall have become primary insurance as to any loss, at such time that the bond identified in ITEM 5(A) of the Declarations of this Excess Bond would have terminated as to such employee had it still been in effect.

Section 7. REPRESENTATION OF INSURED

The Insured represents that the information furnished in the application for this Excess Bond, as well as all information furnished in the Insured’s application or applications for the Underlying Coverage, is complete, true and correct. All such applications constitute part of this Excess Bond. Any intentional misrepresentation, omission, concealment or incorrect statement of a material fact in any of the applications for this Excess Bond or for the Underlying Coverage or otherwise will be grounds for the rescission of this Excess Bond.

In witness whereof, the Underwriter has caused this Excess Bond to be executed on the Declarations page.

Excess Bond

The insurer identified on the Declarations Page (the “Underwriter”), in consideration of an agreed premium, and in reliance upon all statements made and information furnished by the Insured to the Underwriter and to the issuers of the Underlying Coverage, and subject to the Declarations, Insuring Agreement(s), General Agreements, Conditions and Limitations and other terms, conditions and limitations hereof, agrees to indemnify the Insured for

INSURING AGREEMENT

EXCESS FOLLOW-FORM COVERAGE

Loss for which, but for the exhaustion of any applicable limit or limits of liability, coverage would have been afforded under the Underlying Coverage in ITEM 5 of the Declarations of this Excess Bond, subject, except as specifically set forth in this Excess Bond, to all of the terms, conditions and limitations of the bond identified in ITEM 5(A) of the Declarations of this Excess Bond; provided, that under no circumstances will this Excess Bond afford coverage broader than the most restrictive coverage provided in any Underlying Coverage.

GENERAL AGREEMENTS

JOINT INSURED

(A)

If multiple Insureds are covered under this Excess Bond, the first named Insured will act for all Insureds. The Underwriter’s payment to the first named Insured of loss sustained by any Insured will fully release the Underwriter on account of such loss. If the first named Insured ceases to be covered under this Excess Bond, the Insured next named will thereafter be considered the first named Insured.

The Underwriter’s liability for loss or losses sustained by all Insureds will not exceed the amount for which the Underwriter would have been liable had such loss or losses been sustained by one Insured.

CHANGE OF CONTROL – NOTICE

(B)

When the Insured learns of a change in control, it must give written notice thereof to the Underwriter. As used in this General Agreement, “control” means the power to determine the management or policy of the Insured or of a controlling holding company by virtue of voting stock ownership. A change in ownership of voting stock which results in direct or indirect ownership by a stockholder or an affiliated group of stockholders of fifteen percent (15%) or more of such stock will be presumed to result in a change of control for the purpose of the required notice. Failure to give the required notice will result in termination of coverage for any loss involving a transferee, to be effective upon the date of stock transfer. The entire premium for this Excess Bond will be deemed to have been fully earned as of the effective date of any change in control of the Insured, including but not limited to the taking over of the Insured by a receiver or other liquidator or by State or Federal officials.

CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS

Section 1. LIMIT OF LIABILITY – NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY

(A)

The Underwriter’s total liability under this Excess Bond for all loss, regardless of when paid, will not exceed the Aggregate Limit of Liability in ITEM 3 of the Declarations of this Excess Bond. The Aggregate Limit of Liability will be reduced by the amount of any payment made under this Excess Bond. Upon exhaustion of the Aggregate Limit of Liability by such payments, the Underwriter will have no further liability under this Excess Bond for loss, whether or not previously reported to the Underwriter. The Aggregate Limit of Liability will not be increased or reinstated by any recovery made and applied in accordance with Section 5 hereunder or by any portion of any Aggregate Limit of Liability under any previous Bond.

(B)	Subject to the Aggregate Limit of Liability, the Underwriter’s liability for each Single Loss will not
	exceed	the applicable Single Loss Limit of Liability in ITEM 4 of the Declarations of this Excess Bond.
	For	purposes of this Section 1(B), Single Loss means all covered loss resulting from
	(i)	any one act or series of related acts of burglary, robbery or attempt thereat, in which no employee of the Insured is implicated, or
	(ii)	any one act or series of related unintentional or negligent acts or omissions on the part of any person (whether or not an employee of the Insured) resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of property, or
	(iii)	all acts or omissions other than those specified in (i) and (ii) preceding, caused by any person (whether or not an employee of the Insured) or in which such person is implicated, or
	(iv)	any one casualty or event not specified in (i), (ii) or (iii) preceding;
	unless	such term is defined differently in the bond identified in ITEM 5(A) of the Declarations of this
	Excess	Bond, in which case Single Loss will have the meaning set forth in such bond.
(C)	Neither the Aggregate Limit of Liability nor the Single Loss Limit of Liability will be cumulative in
	amount	from Bond Period to Bond Period regardless of the number of years this Excess Bond may be
	in	force, the number of times this Excess Bond may be renewed or the number of Bond Periods in
	which	the acts giving rise to any loss occurred or were committed.

Section 2. EXHAUSTION OF UNDERLYING COVERAGE

(A)	The Underwriter will be liable to pay loss only if and when the total amount of the limit of liability applicable to such loss under the Underlying Coverage has been exhausted solely by the actual payment of loss under the Underlying Coverage.
(B)	In the event that the limit of liability applicable to any loss under the Underlying Coverage has been reduced, but not exhausted, solely by the actual payment of loss under the Underlying Coverage, this Excess Bond will pay covered loss which is excess of the reduced total amount of the limit of liability applicable to such loss under the Underlying Coverage, subject always to the Single Loss Limit of Liability and the remaining Aggregate Limit of Liability of this Excess Bond.
(C)	In the event of the exhaustion of the limit of liability applicable to any loss under the Underlying Coverage solely by the actual payment of loss under the Underlying Coverage, this Excess Bond will continue in force as primary insurance in respect of any subsequent loss which, but for such exhaustion, would have been covered under the Underlying Coverage, subject always to the Single Loss Limit of Liability and the remaining Aggregate Limit of Liability of this Excess Bond; provided, always, that this Excess Bond will pay only such loss which is excess over any retention or deductible that would have been applicable under the Underlying Coverage.

Section 3. MAINTENANCE OF UNDERLYING COVERAGE

(A)	The Insured must maintain the Underlying Coverage in full force and effect during the Bond Period, except for any reduction or exhaustion of any limit or limits of liability solely by the actual payment of loss. If for any reason the Underlying Coverage shall not have been so maintained, or if the Insured’s recovery under the Underlying Coverage is restricted or unavailable as a result of the insolvency of any issuer of any Underlying Coverage, this Excess Bond will apply excess of the applicable limit or limits of liability of the Underlying Coverage, plus any applicable retention or deductible, as if the Underlying Coverage had been maintained in full force and effect.
(B)	The Insured must notify the Underwriter in writing of any change or alteration of or amendment to the Underlying Coverage. This Excess Bond will not follow form of or be subject to any such change, alteration or amendment unless the Underwriter has so agreed by written endorsement to this Excess Bond and has received any additional premium that the Underwriter may require in connection therewith.
(C)	No claim, loss or coverage subject to any sublimit of liability (other than a single loss limit of liability) under any Underlying Coverage will be considered covered loss under this Excess Bond, but the

payment of such claim, loss or coverage under the Underlying Coverage will be recognized, to the extent of such payment, as reducing or exhausting the applicable limit or limits of liability of the Underlying Coverage for purposes of determining when coverage under this Excess Bond shall attach.

Section 4. NOTICE/PROOF – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST UNDERWRITER

(A)	The Insured must, within the time and manner prescribed in the bond identified in ITEM 5(A) of the Declarations of this Excess Bond, give the Underwriter notice of any discovery of loss of a kind that may be covered under this Excess Bond, whether or not the amount of such loss is known or expected to be in excess of the applicable limit or limits of liability under the Underlying Coverage and whether or not the Underwriter is or may be liable therefor in whole or in part. Upon the Underwriter’s request, the Insured must give the Underwriter a written statement of such loss and copies of all correspondence between the Insured and the issuer of any Underlying Coverage regarding such loss.
	Notice given by the Insured to any issuer of Underlying Coverage regarding the discovery of any loss will not constitute notice of such discovery of loss for purposes of this Section 4(A).
(B)	The Insured must, within the time and manner prescribed in the bond identified in ITEM 5(A) of the Declarations of this Excess Bond, file with the Underwriter a proof of loss for any loss of a kind that may be covered under this Excess Bond, whether or not the Underwriter is or may be liable therefor in whole or in part. Upon the Underwriter’s request, the Insured must give the Underwriter a written statement of such loss and copies of any proof of loss provided to any issuer of any Underlying Coverage and of all documents provided to or made available to any such issuer in support thereof.
	The filing by the Insured of a proof of loss under any Underlying Coverage will not constitute the filing of a proof of loss with the Underwriter for purposes of this Section 4(B).
(C)	Legal proceedings against the Underwriter may not be brought before the expiration of any period of limitation in any Underlying Coverage applicable to the commencement of legal proceedings against any issuer of any Underlying Coverage.
(D)	This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured named in the Declarations and the Underwriter will not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured. No suit, action or legal proceeding may be brought hereunder by any one other than the named Insured.
(E)	Notices and proofs of loss given to the Underwriter under this Excess Bond must be sent by certified mail or the equivalent to the following address:
	XL Insurance Claims – 100 Constitution Plaza, 13 Floor, Hartford, CT 06103

Section 5. SUBROGATION – ASSIGNMENT – RECOVERY – COOPERATION

(A)	In the event of payment under this Excess Bond, the Underwriter will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the Insured’s rights of recovery in connection therewith against any person or entity, and the Insured will deliver, if so requested by the Underwriter, an assignment of such of the Insured’s rights, titles and interests and causes of action as it has against any person or entity to the extent of such payment. The Insured must execute all papers and render assistance to secure to the Underwriter the rights and causes of action provided for herein. The Insured may do nothing after discovery of loss to prejudice such rights or causes of action.
(B)	Recoveries, whether effected by the Underwriter or by the Insured, will be applied net of the expense of such recovery, first, to the satisfaction of the Insured’s loss which would otherwise have been paid under this Excess Bond but for the fact that such loss was in excess of any applicable limit of liability hereunder, second, to the Underwriter as reimbursement of amounts paid under this Excess Bond in settlement of the Insured’s claim, and third, to the Insured and/or to the issuer or issuers of the Underlying Coverage, in accordance with their respective interests.
(C)	Upon the Underwriter’s request and at reasonable times and places designed by the Underwriter, the Insured must submit to examination by the Underwriter and subscribe to the same under oath,

(B)

This Excess Bond terminates as to any employee of the Insured immediately upon the termination of any Underlying Coverage as to such employee or, if any loss shall have become covered under this Excess Bond or this Excess Bond shall have become primary insurance as to any loss, at such time that the bond identified in ITEM 5(A) of the Declarations of this Excess Bond would have terminated as to such employee had it still been in effect.
