PREMIER EXCESS II


In consideration of premium paid, the Insurer, the Named Insured and all insureds under this Policy (Named Insured and all insureds under this Policy are, collectively, the “Insureds”) agree as follows:

I. INSURING AGREEMENT

This Policy shall provide coverage in accordance with the same terms, conditions and exclusions of the Followed Policy, as modified by and subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of this Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Policy shall not provide coverage broader than that provided by any Underlying Policy, or any policy issued by any participating quota share insurer, unless such broader coverage is specifically agreed to herein or in a written endorsement attached hereto.

II. LIMIT OF LIABILITY AND EROSION RECOGNITION

The Limit of Liability is the aggregate limit of the Insurer's liability for all coverage under this Policy. The Insurer’s coverage obligations under this Policy attach to the Insurer only after the Total Underlying Limits have been exhausted through payments of covered loss by, on behalf of or in the place of the Underlying Insurers pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Policies. This Policy shall continue in force as primary insurance only upon the exhaustion of the Total Underlying Limits and satisfaction of any applicable retention by reason of such payments. This Policy shall recognize erosion of an Underlying Limit of an Underlying Policy through payment of covered loss by others pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Policy. Payments made under any amendatory endorsement required by any jurisdiction in the United States of America (“U.S.A.”) or sub-limit of liability shall be deemed to apply toward exhaustion of the limits of liability of the Underlying Policies, but this Policy shall not follow such amendatory endorsement or sub-limit of liability. The risk of uncollectibility of any part of the Total Underlying Limits, for any reason, is expressly retained by the Insureds, and is neither insured under this Policy nor assumed by the Insurer.

III. NOTICES

Where the Followed Policy requires or permits notice to that insurer, the Insureds have the same obligations to notify, and the Insurer has the same rights to notification under this Policy, except that with respect to this Policy, any notice to the Insurer must be directed as follows: (i) for notices of claims and/or circumstances, by mail or e-mail to the Claims Address; and (ii) for all other notices, by mail to the Insurer Address.

IV. RIGHTS

The Insurer shall have the same rights, privileges and protections afforded to the insurer of the Followed Policy in accordance with the terms, conditions and exclusions of the Followed Policy. The Insurer shall maintain full and complete claims control as respects its portion of any claim or loss arising under this Policy. The Insurer shall also have the right, in its sole discretion, but not the obligation, to effectively associate with the Insureds in the defense and settlement of any claim that appears to be reasonably likely to involve the Insurer. The Insureds shall provide the Insurer with such information and cooperation as the Insurer may reasonably request and shall not do anything that prejudices the Insurer’s position or potential rights of recovery, including, but not limited to, terminating any Underlying Policy.

V. RELIANCE

The Insurer has issued this Policy in reliance upon the completeness and accuracy of the applications, warranty statements, the binders for the Underlying Policies, any attachments thereto and any other information submitted, the entirety of which shall be deemed attached hereto and made a part hereof.

VI. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION

If, subsequent to the issuance of the Followed Policy, the terms, conditions or exclusions of an Underlying Policy are modified, the Insureds must notify the Insurer in writing, as soon as practicable, of such modifications. If such modifications: (i) expand the coverage of an Underlying Policy, (ii) change the policyholder name or address, or (iii) modify premium, this Policy shall not follow those changes unless the Insurer agrees to such modification in writing, which shall be at the sole discretion of the Insurer. The Named Insured agrees to pay any additional premium the Insurer may require for such modification(s). This Policy shall follow the cancellation terms of the Followed Policy except that in the event the Insurer cancels this Policy for non-payment of premium, this Policy shall be void as of the inception date of the Policy Period.

PREMIER EXCESS II POLICY - Continued

VII. CHOICE OF LAW

The following shall always apply to this Policy:

A.      the procedural law of the venue selected under Clause VIII. ARBITRATION, Sub-Clause C. 1. or C. 2., below; and
B.      Clause IX. PUNITIVE DAMAGES, below, shall be construed and enforced solely in accordance with the laws of Bermuda.
VIII.      ARBITRATION
  A.      It is agreed that any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Policy, including any question regarding its
    existence,      interpretation, validity or termination, shall be referred to and fully and finally resolved solely by
    arbitration.     
  B.      This Policy shall follow the terms of the Followed Policy with respect to arbitration only when said terms require the
    dispute      to proceed either in Hamilton, Bermuda, London, England, or Toronto or Vancouver, Canada.
  C.      In the event the Followed Policy does not provide for arbitration in the locations set forth in Sub-Clause B., above,
    the      arbitration shall take place in one of the following venues:
    1.      Hamilton, Bermuda under the Bermuda International Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1993 (exclusive of the Conciliation Part of such Act), as may be amended and supplemented, which Act is deemed incorporated by reference hereto; or
    2.      London, England or Toronto or Vancouver, Canada under the English Arbitration Act 1996, as may be amended and supplemented, which Act is deemed incorporated by reference hereto.
  D.      Where an Insured and the Insurer are parties to the dispute, the Insured shall make the selection referenced in
    Sub-Clause      C., above. Where the Insurer and a party deriving rights through or asserting rights on behalf of an
    Insured      are parties to the dispute, the Insurer shall make the selection referenced in Sub-Clause C., above.
  E.      The number of arbitrators shall be three (such arbitrators are, collectively, the “Arbitration Board”).
  F.      Each party shall bear the costs of its own arbitrator. The remaining cost of arbitration shall be borne equally by the
    parties.     
  G.      All awards made by the Arbitration Board shall be final and no right of appeal shall lie from any award rendered by
    the      Arbitration Board.
IX.      PUNITIVE DAMAGES

This Policy shall cover punitive damages to the same extent punitive damages are covered under the Followed Policy. However, if the coverage provision for punitive damages of any Underlying Policy is solely contingent on the insurability of such damages under applicable law, then this Policy shall provide coverage for punitive damages.

X. SERVICE OF SUIT AND JURISDICTION

Notwithstanding any provision of the Followed Policy or any Underlying Policy, this Policy shall not conform to the law of any jurisdiction in the U.S.A. The Insurer does not consent to the service of suit in the U.S.A. or the jurisdiction of any federal, territorial or state court in the U.S.A.

Solely for the purpose of effectuating arbitration under Clause VIII. ARBITRATION, above, or enforcing an award entered in such arbitration, the Insurer, at the request of the Insured, will submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the U.S.A. and will comply with all requirements necessary to give such court jurisdiction. Nothing in this Clause X. SERVICE OF SUIT AND JURISDICTION, constitutes, or should be understood to constitute, a waiver of the Insurer’s rights to commence a suit in any court of competent jurisdiction in the U.S.A, to remove a suit to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a suit to another court as permitted by the laws of the U.S.A. or any jurisdiction in the U.S.A. It is further agreed that service of process in such suit may be made upon the Insurer’s General Counsel at 175 Water Street, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10038, and that in any suit instituted against the Insurer to effectuate arbitration or enforce an award entered in such arbitration, both of which solely as provided for under Clause VIII. ARBITRATION, above, the Insurer will abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of any appeal. Further, pursuant to any statute of any jurisdiction in the U.S.A. that makes provision therefor, the Insurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, or other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his or her successor or successors in office, as its true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any suit instituted by the Insured within the scope of this CLAUSE X. SERVICE OF SUIT AND JURISDICTION, and hereby designates the above referenced General Counsel as the person to whom the said officer is authorized to mail such process or a true copy thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Insurer has caused this Policy to be signed by its Authorized Representative.

Nothing in this endorsement shall be construed to increase the Insurer’s Limits of Liability set for in the Declarations page of Policy No. 33089945 which shall remain the maximum liability of the Insurer for claims under such Policy, or the Insurer’s Limits of Liability under this Policy as set forth in Item 3 of the Declarations, which shall remain the maximum liability of the Insurer for claims under this Policy.

It is further understood and agreed that the Insurer shall not recognize any erosion of the Underlying Limits due to Loss paid by any Underlying Insurers under such insurer’s respective Underlying Policy, as a result of the operation of this Tie-In Limits Endorsement or similar Tie-In Limits endorsement of any Underlying Insurers.

All other terms, conditions and exclusions remain unchanged.

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.

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.

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.

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.

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT UNDER THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT OF 2002 AS AMENDED BY THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE PROGRAM REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2007 AND AS FURTHER AMENDED BY THE TERRORISM RISK

INSURANCE PROGRAM REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2015

Coverage for acts of terrorism is included in your policy. You are hereby notified that under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization act of 2007, and as further amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, you have coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism, as defined in section 102(1) of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015. The term “act of terrorism” means any act that is 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.

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. 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 A SPECIFIC PERCENTAGE OF COVERED TERRORISM LOSSES EXCEEDING THE STATUTORILY ESTABLISHED DEDUCTIBLE PAID BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDING THE COVERAGE. THE PREMIUM CHARGED FOR THIS COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BELOW AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CHARGES FOR THE PORTION OF LOSS THAT MAY BE COVERED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER THE ACT.

The portion of your annual premium that is attributable to coverage for acts of terrorism is $ 0.00 , and does not include any charges for the portion of losses covered by the United States Government under the Act.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT, AS AMENDED, CONTAINS A SPECIFIC CAP THAT LIMITS U.S. GOVERNMENT REIMBURSEMENT AS WELL AS INSURER’S LIABILITY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM WHEN THE AMOUNT OF SUCH LOSSES IN ANY ONE CALENDAR YEAR EXCEEDS THE CAP. IF THE AGGREGATE INSURED LOSSES FOR ALL INSURERS EXCEED THE CAP, YOUR COVERAGE MAY BE REDUCED. I HAVE ALSO BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE PORTION OF MY PREMIUM ATTRIBUTABLE TO SUCH COVERAGE.

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

     To be attached to and made a part of Policy No. 24-MGU-19-A47039, issued to Fidelity Equity and High Income Funds by U.S. Specialty Insurance Company.

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.
  (b)      Loss shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Primary Policy.
(2)      Notwithstanding anything in the Policy to the contrary:
  (a)      If an issuer of a policy of Underlying Insurance becomes financially insolvent or
    bankrupt      and, solely as a result of such financial insolvency or bankruptcy, fails to pay
    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
  limitation      of this Policy or any policy of Underlying Insurance.

ENDORSEMENT NUMBER: 8

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE – TERRORISM PREMIUM NOTICE

     To be attached to and made a part of Policy No. 24-MGU-19-A47039, 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 2015 (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 85% through 2015; 84% beginning on January 1, 2016; 83% beginning on January 1, 2017; 82% beginning on January 1, 2018; 81% beginning on January 1, 2019 and 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.

U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT'S OFFICE OFFOREIGN 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 OFAC. Please read this Notice carefully.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) administers and enforces sanctions policy, based on Presidential declarations of "national emergency". OFAC has identified and listed numerous:

  • Foreign agents;
  • Front organizations;
  • Terrorists;
  • Terrorist organizations; and
  • Narcotics traffickers;

as "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons". This list can be located on the United States Treasury's web site - 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 a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person, as identified by OFAC, this insurance will be considered a blocked or frozen contract and all provisions of this insurance are immediately subject to 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. Other limitations on the premiums and payments also apply.

EXCESS INDEMNITY POLICY

This is a claims made policy. Please read it carefully.

In consideration of the payment of the premium, and in reliance upon all statements made and information furnished to the Insurer and to the issuers of the Underlying Insurance and subject to the Declarations and the limitations, conditions, provisions, any endorsements to and all other terms of this Policy, the Insurer and the Insureds agree as follows:

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. 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.
  C.      Amendment of Underlying Insurance
    No amendment to any Underlying Insurance during the Policy Period shall be effective in extending the coverage or limits of liability afforded by this Policy unless the Insurer so agrees in writing.
III.      DEFINITIONS

  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:

    Underlying Insurance.
IX.      POLICY TERMINATION
A.      This Policy may be canceled by the Insureds at any time either by surrender of this Policy or by written notice stating when thereafter such cancellation is to be effective.
  The mailing of such notice as aforesaid shall be sufficient proof of notice and this policy shall terminate at the date and hour specified in such notice.
B.      The Insurer shall refund the unearned premium computed at the customary short rate if the Policy is canceled by the Insureds.
X.      CONFORMITY TO STATUTE
  Any terms of this Policy which are in conflict with the terms of any applicable laws construing this Policy are hereby amended to conform to such laws.
XI.      AUTHORIZATION AND NOTICES
  The person or entity named in ITEM 1 of the Declarations shall be the sole agent, and shall act on behalf, of the Insureds with respect to all matters under this Policy, including but not limited to giving and receiving notices and other communication, effecting or accepting any endorsements to or notice of cancellation of this Policy, paying premium and receiving any return premiums.
XII.      NO ALTERATIONS WITHOUT ENDORSEMENT
  No change in or modification of this Policy shall be effective unless made by endorsement signed by an authorized employee of the Insurer or any of its agents relating to this Policy.

In witness whereof the Insurer has caused this Policy to be executed by its authorized officers, but this Policy will not be valid unless countersigned on the Declarations Page by a duly authorized representative of the Insurer.

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.

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.

Schedule.

4. Step-Down of Cover

Subject always to the Limit of Liability:

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.

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.

(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,

(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.

Percentage of order

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.

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).

  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

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
  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:

  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,

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 (3) any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful to exclude or restrict liability.
9      Choice of Law and Jurisdiction

Notwithstanding any other choice of law, express or implied in the contract of (re)insurance, the provisions of these Arrangements shall be construed and governed in accordance with the Laws of England and Wales and the Subscribing (Re)Insurers submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales.

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.

PREMIER EXCESS II


In consideration of premium paid, the Insurer, the Named Insured and all insureds under this Policy (Named Insured and all insureds under this Policy are, collectively, the “Insureds”) agree as follows:

I. INSURING AGREEMENT

This Policy shall provide coverage in accordance with the same terms, conditions and exclusions of the Followed Policy, as modified by and subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of this Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Policy shall not provide coverage broader than that provided by any Underlying Policy, or any policy issued by any participating quota share insurer, unless such broader coverage is specifically agreed to herein or in a written endorsement attached hereto.

II. LIMIT OF LIABILITY AND EROSION RECOGNITION

The Limit of Liability is the aggregate limit of the Insurer's liability for all coverage under this Policy. The Insurer’s coverage obligations under this Policy attach to the Insurer only after the Total Underlying Limits have been exhausted through payments of covered loss by, on behalf of or in the place of the Underlying Insurers pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Policies. This Policy shall continue in force as primary insurance only upon the exhaustion of the Total Underlying Limits and satisfaction of any applicable retention by reason of such payments. This Policy shall recognize erosion of an Underlying Limit of an Underlying Policy through payment of covered loss by others pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Policy. Payments made under any amendatory endorsement required by any jurisdiction in the United States of America (“U.S.A.”) or sub-limit of liability shall be deemed to apply toward exhaustion of the limits of liability of the Underlying Policies, but this Policy shall not follow such amendatory endorsement or sub-limit of liability. The risk of uncollectibility of any part of the Total Underlying Limits, for any reason, is expressly retained by the Insureds, and is neither insured under this Policy nor assumed by the Insurer.

III. NOTICES

Where the Followed Policy requires or permits notice to that insurer, the Insureds have the same obligations to notify, and the Insurer has the same rights to notification under this Policy, except that with respect to this Policy, any notice to the Insurer must be directed as follows: (i) for notices of claims and/or circumstances, by mail or e-mail to the Claims Address; and (ii) for all other notices, by mail to the Insurer Address.

IV. RIGHTS

The Insurer shall have the same rights, privileges and protections afforded to the insurer of the Followed Policy in accordance with the terms, conditions and exclusions of the Followed Policy. The Insurer shall maintain full and complete claims control as respects its portion of any claim or loss arising under this Policy. The Insurer shall also have the right, in its sole discretion, but not the obligation, to effectively associate with the Insureds in the defense and settlement of any claim that appears to be reasonably likely to involve the Insurer. The Insureds shall provide the Insurer with such information and cooperation as the Insurer may reasonably request and shall not do anything that prejudices the Insurer’s position or potential rights of recovery, including, but not limited to, terminating any Underlying Policy.

V. RELIANCE

The Insurer has issued this Policy in reliance upon the completeness and accuracy of the applications, warranty statements, the binders for the Underlying Policies, any attachments thereto and any other information submitted, the entirety of which shall be deemed attached hereto and made a part hereof.

VI. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION

If, subsequent to the issuance of the Followed Policy, the terms, conditions or exclusions of an Underlying Policy are modified, the Insureds must notify the Insurer in writing, as soon as practicable, of such modifications. If such modifications: (i) expand the coverage of an Underlying Policy, (ii) change the policyholder name or address, or (iii) modify premium, this Policy shall not follow those changes unless the Insurer agrees to such modification in writing, which shall be at the sole discretion of the Insurer. The Named Insured agrees to pay any additional premium the Insurer may require for such modification(s). This Policy shall follow the cancellation terms of the Followed Policy except that in the event the Insurer cancels this Policy for non-payment of premium, this Policy shall be void as of the inception date of the Policy Period.

PREMIER EXCESS II POLICY - Continued

VII. CHOICE OF LAW

The following shall always apply to this Policy:

A.      the procedural law of the venue selected under Clause VIII. ARBITRATION, Sub-Clause C. 1. or C. 2., below; and
B.      Clause IX. PUNITIVE DAMAGES, below, shall be construed and enforced solely in accordance with the laws of Bermuda.
VIII.      ARBITRATION
  A.      It is agreed that any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Policy, including any question regarding its
    existence,      interpretation, validity or termination, shall be referred to and fully and finally resolved solely by
    arbitration.     
  B.      This Policy shall follow the terms of the Followed Policy with respect to arbitration only when said terms require the
    dispute      to proceed either in Hamilton, Bermuda, London, England, or Toronto or Vancouver, Canada.
  C.      In the event the Followed Policy does not provide for arbitration in the locations set forth in Sub-Clause B., above,
    the      arbitration shall take place in one of the following venues:
    1.      Hamilton, Bermuda under the Bermuda International Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1993 (exclusive of the Conciliation Part of such Act), as may be amended and supplemented, which Act is deemed incorporated by reference hereto; or
    2.      London, England or Toronto or Vancouver, Canada under the English Arbitration Act 1996, as may be amended and supplemented, which Act is deemed incorporated by reference hereto.
  D.      Where an Insured and the Insurer are parties to the dispute, the Insured shall make the selection referenced in
    Sub-Clause      C., above. Where the Insurer and a party deriving rights through or asserting rights on behalf of an
    Insured      are parties to the dispute, the Insurer shall make the selection referenced in Sub-Clause C., above.
  E.      The number of arbitrators shall be three (such arbitrators are, collectively, the “Arbitration Board”).
  F.      Each party shall bear the costs of its own arbitrator. The remaining cost of arbitration shall be borne equally by the
    parties.     
  G.      All awards made by the Arbitration Board shall be final and no right of appeal shall lie from any award rendered by
    the      Arbitration Board.
IX.      PUNITIVE DAMAGES

This Policy shall cover punitive damages to the same extent punitive damages are covered under the Followed Policy. However, if the coverage provision for punitive damages of any Underlying Policy is solely contingent on the insurability of such damages under applicable law, then this Policy shall provide coverage for punitive damages.

X. SERVICE OF SUIT AND JURISDICTION

Notwithstanding any provision of the Followed Policy or any Underlying Policy, this Policy shall not conform to the law of any jurisdiction in the U.S.A. The Insurer does not consent to the service of suit in the U.S.A. or the jurisdiction of any federal, territorial or state court in the U.S.A.

Solely for the purpose of effectuating arbitration under Clause VIII. ARBITRATION, above, or enforcing an award entered in such arbitration, the Insurer, at the request of the Insured, will submit to the jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction within the U.S.A. and will comply with all requirements necessary to give such court jurisdiction. Nothing in this Clause X. SERVICE OF SUIT AND JURISDICTION, constitutes, or should be understood to constitute, a waiver of the Insurer’s rights to commence a suit in any court of competent jurisdiction in the U.S.A, to remove a suit to a United States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a suit to another court as permitted by the laws of the U.S.A. or any jurisdiction in the U.S.A. It is further agreed that service of process in such suit may be made upon the Insurer’s General Counsel at 175 Water Street, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10038, and that in any suit instituted against the Insurer to effectuate arbitration or enforce an award entered in such arbitration, both of which solely as provided for under Clause VIII. ARBITRATION, above, the Insurer will abide by the final decision of such court or of any appellate court in the event of any appeal. Further, pursuant to any statute of any jurisdiction in the U.S.A. that makes provision therefor, the Insurer hereby designates the Superintendent, Commissioner, or Director of Insurance, or other officer specified for that purpose in the statute, or his or her successor or successors in office, as its true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served any lawful process in any suit instituted by the Insured within the scope of this CLAUSE X.

  II.      LIMIT OF LIABILITY AND EROSION RECOGNITION
  The      Limit of Liability is the aggregate limit of the Insurer's liability for all coverage under this Policy. The Insurer’s
  coverage      obligations under this Policy attach to the Insurer only after the Total Underlying Limits have been
  exhausted      through payments of Loss pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Policies by, on

  by      others of Loss pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Policy. Payments made under any
  amendatory      endorsement required by any jurisdiction in the United States of America (“U.S.A.”) or sub-limit of
  liability      shall be deemed to apply toward exhaustion of the limits of liability of the Underlying Policies, but this
  Policy      shall not follow such amendatory endorsement or sub-limit of liability. The risk of uncollectibility of any
  part      of the Total Underlying Limits, for any reason, is expressly retained by the Insureds, and is neither insured
  under      this Policy nor assumed by the Insurer.

NOTICE TO POLICYHOLDERS

PRIVACY POLICY

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.

Our Privacy Promise

Your privacy and the confidentiality of your business records are important to us. 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:

1.      We will follow strict standards of security and confidentiality to protect any information you share with us or information that we receive about you;
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;
3.      We will not collect and use information about you and your business other than the minimum amount of information necessary to advise you about and deliver to you excellent service and products and to administer our business;
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
8.      We will audit and assess our operations, personnel and third party service providers to assure that your privacy is respected.

Collection and Sources of Information

We collect from a customer or potential customer only the personal information that is necessary for (a) determining eligibility for the product or service sought by the customer, (b) administering the product or service obtained, and (c) advising the customer about our products and services. The information we collect generally comes from the following sources:

  • Submission During the submission process, you provide us with information about you and your business, such as your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and other types of personal identification information;

NOTICE TO POLICYHOLDERS

  • Transactions We will maintain records of all transactions with us, our affiliates, and our third party service providers, including your insurance coverage selections, premiums, billing and payment information, claims history, and other information related to your account;
  • Claims If you obtain insurance from us, we will maintain records related to any claims that may be made under your policies. The investigation of a claim necessarily involves collection of a broad range of information about many issues, some of which does not directly involve you. 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
  • Credit and Financial Reports We may receive information about you and your business regarding your credit. We use this information to verify information you provide during the submission and quote processes and to help underwrite and provide to you the most accurate and cost-effective insurance quote we can provide.

Storage of Personal Information

We have in place safeguards to protect data and paper files containing personal information. Sharing/Disclosing of Personal Information

We maintain procedures to assure that we do not share personal information with an unaffiliated third party for marketing purposes unless such sharing is permitted by law. 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.

We do not disclose personal information to an unaffiliated third party for servicing purposes or joint marketing purposes unless a contract containing a confidentiality/non-disclosure provision has been signed by us and the third party. 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.

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

FB 71 04 10 10

Page 2 of 4

  • 2010 X.L. America, Inc. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied without permission.

 

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

XLprofessionalclaims@xlgroup.com

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.

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT UNDER THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT OF 2002 AS AMENDED BY THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE PROGRAM REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2007 AND AS FURTHER AMENDED BY THE TERRORISM RISK

INSURANCE PROGRAM REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2015

Coverage for acts of terrorism is included in your policy. You are hereby notified that under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization act of 2007, and as further amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, you have coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism, as defined in section 102(1) of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015. The term “act of terrorism” means any act that is 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.

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. 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 A SPECIFIC PERCENTAGE OF COVERED TERRORISM LOSSES EXCEEDING THE STATUTORILY ESTABLISHED DEDUCTIBLE PAID BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDING THE COVERAGE. THE PREMIUM CHARGED FOR THIS COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BELOW AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CHARGES FOR THE PORTION OF LOSS THAT MAY BE COVERED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER THE ACT.

The portion of your annual premium that is attributable to coverage for acts of terrorism is $ 0.00 , and does not include any charges for the portion of losses covered by the United States Government under the Act.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT, AS AMENDED, CONTAINS A SPECIFIC CAP THAT LIMITS U.S. GOVERNMENT REIMBURSEMENT AS WELL AS INSURER’S LIABILITY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM WHEN THE AMOUNT OF SUCH LOSSES IN ANY ONE CALENDAR YEAR EXCEEDS THE CAP. IF THE AGGREGATE INSURED LOSSES FOR ALL INSURERS EXCEED THE CAP, YOUR COVERAGE MAY BE REDUCED. I HAVE ALSO BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE PORTION OF MY PREMIUM ATTRIBUTABLE TO SUCH COVERAGE.

REDUCING OR EXHAUSTING UNDERLYING LIMIT

     To be attached to and made a part of Policy No. 24-MGU-19-A47037, issued to Fidelity Fixed Income and Asset Allocation Funds by U.S. Specialty Insurance Company.

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.
  (b)      Loss shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Primary Policy.
(2)      Notwithstanding anything in the Policy to the contrary:
  (a)      If an issuer of a policy of Underlying Insurance becomes financially insolvent or
    bankrupt      and, solely as a result of such financial insolvency or bankruptcy, fails to pay
    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
  limitation      of this Policy or any policy of Underlying Insurance.

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE – TERRORISM PREMIUM NOTICE

To be attached to and made a part of Policy No. 24-MGU-19-A47037, 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 2015 (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 85% through 2015; 84% beginning on January 1, 2016; 83% beginning on January 1, 2017; 82% beginning on January 1, 2018; 81% beginning on January 1, 2019 and 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.

U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT'S OFFICE OFFOREIGN 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 OFAC. Please read this Notice carefully.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) administers and enforces sanctions policy, based on Presidential declarations of "national emergency". OFAC has identified and listed numerous:

  • Foreign agents;
  • Front organizations;
  • Terrorists;
  • Terrorist organizations; and
  • Narcotics traffickers;

as "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons". This list can be located on the United States Treasury's web site - 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 a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person, as identified by OFAC, this insurance will be considered a blocked or frozen contract and all provisions of this insurance are immediately subject to 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. Other limitations on the premiums and payments also apply.

EXCESS INDEMNITY POLICY

This is a claims made policy. Please read it carefully.

In consideration of the payment of the premium, and in reliance upon all statements made and information furnished to the Insurer and to the issuers of the Underlying Insurance and subject to the Declarations and the limitations, conditions, provisions, any endorsements to and all other terms of this Policy, the Insurer and the Insureds agree as follows:

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. 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.
  C.      Amendment of Underlying Insurance
    No amendment to any Underlying Insurance during the Policy Period shall be effective in extending the coverage or limits of liability afforded by this Policy unless the Insurer so agrees in writing.
III.      DEFINITIONS

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:

B.      The Insurer shall refund the unearned premium computed at the customary short rate if the Policy is canceled by the Insureds.

XII.      NO ALTERATIONS WITHOUT ENDORSEMENT
  No change in or modification of this Policy shall be effective unless made by endorsement signed by an authorized employee of the Insurer or any of its agents relating to this Policy.

In witness whereof the Insurer has caused this Policy to be executed by its authorized officers, but this Policy will not be valid unless countersigned on the Declarations Page by a duly authorized representative of 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

Loss all losses, costs, liabilities or damages and other expenses of the Insured as are covered by the Primary Policy of whatever nature and howsoever described by the Primary Policy. However, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Primary Policy, the liability of the Insurers of this Policy to the Insured for costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever shall be part of, and not in addition to, the Limit of Liability.

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

"Relevant Provision" shall mean any provision of an Underlying Policy which reduces the limit of liability of the Underlying Policy automatically by reference to the amount paid or payable under another policy of insurance, or by reference to the limit of liability under another policy of insurance. For the avoidance of doubt, a provision which provides that an Underlying Policy shall pay only the amount by which any loss or liability (as applicable) exceeds the amount paid or payable under any other policy or policies, or which allows the insurer credit for the value of other insurance or indemnification, or which requires the Insured to pursue such insurance or indemnification prior to claiming under the Underlying Policy (such as an “other insurance” or “non-contribution” or other similar provision), shall not be a Relevant Provision.

"Schedule" shall mean the schedule to this Policy.

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

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

Schedule.

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

3. Maintenance of the Underlying Policy(ies)

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

4. Step-Down of Cover

Subject always to the Limit of Liability:

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

(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).

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.

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).

  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

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
  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

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;

3.3      any revision to the recommended reserve or reserves for a
  SCAP Claim;
3.4      any change in the assignment of a SCAP Claim;

3.6      the final Determination of a SCAP Claim, including where a SCAP Claim is denied;

  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,

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.

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.

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

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