been exhausted by payment of Loss.
2.
If Reimbursement coverage is provided with respect to this Liability Policy as indicated in ITEM

information, assistance and cooperation as it may reasonably require.

rights. The Insured will do nothing to prejudice such rights.
J.

All recoveries from third parties for payments made under this Liability Policy will be applied, after first
deducting the costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery, in the following order of priority:
1.
first, to the Company to reimburse the Company for any Retention amount it has paid on behalf of

CHANGE OF CONTROL
m
en
If, during the Policy Period, a Change of Control occurs, coverage will continue in full force and effect
with respect to Claims for Wrongful Acts committed before such event, but coverage will cease with
respect to Claims for Wrongful Acts committed after such event. No coverage will be available
hereunder for Loss, including Defense Expenses, for any Claim based upon, alleging, arising out of, or
in any way relating to, directly or indirectly any Wrongful Act committed or allegedly committed after
such event. After any such event, the Liability Policy may not be canceled by the Named Insured and
the entire premium for the Liability Policy will be deemed fully earned.
Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control, the Named Insured will have the right to give the
Company notice that it desires to purchase a Run-Off Extended Reporting Period for any Liability

by such Liability Coverage, subject to the following provisions:
1.
such Run-Off Extended Reporting Period will not provide new, additional or renewed limits of
liability; and

9 of the Declarations of the annualized premium of the applicable Liability Coverage, including the fully
annualized amount of any additional premiums charged by the Company during the Policy Period prior
to the Change of Control. The entire premium for the Run-Off Extended Reporting Period will be
deemed fully earned at the commencement of such Run-Off Extended Reporting Period.
The right to elect the Run-Off Extended Reporting Period will terminate unless written notice of such
election, together with payment of the additional premium due, is received by the Company within thirty
(30) days of the Change of Control. In the event the Run-Off Extended Reporting Period is purchased,
the option to purchase the Extended Reporting Period in Section III. CONDITIONS O. EXTENDED

wholly during the time that the entity was a Subsidiary.

at the time, together with such documentation and information as the Company may require, all within

Insured has paid the Company any additional premium as may be required by the Company.

ALLOCATION
1.
If Duty-to-Defend coverage is indicated in ITEM 7 of the Declarations and there is a Claim under
any Liability Coverage in which the Insureds who are afforded coverage for such Claim incur
an amount consisting of both Loss that is covered by such Liability Coverage and also loss that
is not covered by such Liability Coverage because such Claim includes both covered and
uncovered matters or covered and uncovered parties, then such covered Loss and uncovered
loss will be allocated as follows:
a.
one hundred percent (100%) of Defense Expenses incurred by the Insureds who are
afforded coverage for such Claim will be allocated to covered Loss; and
b.
all loss other than Defense Expense will be allocated between covered Loss and

Subject to the provisions set forth in Section III. CONDITIONS K. CHANGE OF CONTROL, the Named
Insured may cancel any Liability Coverage by mailing the Company written notice stating when,
thereafter, not later than the Expiration Date set forth in ITEM 2 of the Declarations, such cancellation will
be effective. In the event the Named Insured cancels, the earned premium will be computed in
accordance with the customary short rate table and procedure. Premium adjustment may be made either
at the time cancellation is effective or as soon as practicable after cancellation becomes effective, but
payment or tender of unearned premium is not a condition of cancellation.

CHANGES
m
en
No person or organization has any right under this Liability Policy to join the Company as a party to any
action against the Insured to determine the Insured’s liability, nor may the Company be impleaded by an
Insured or said Insured’s legal representative. Bankruptcy or insolvency of any Insured or an
Insured’s estate does not relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder.
Only the Named Insured is authorized to make changes in the terms of this Liability Policy and solely
with the Company’s prior written consent. This Liability Policy’s terms can be changed, amended or
waived only by endorsement issued by the Company and made a part of this Liability Policy. Notice to
any representative of the Insured or knowledge possessed by any agent or by any other person will not
effect a waiver or change to any part of this Liability Policy, or estop the Company from asserting any
right under the terms, conditions and limitations of this Liability Policy, nor may the terms, conditions
and limitations hereunder be waived or changed, except by a written endorsement to this Liability Policy
issued by the Company.
T.
ASSIGNMENT
S
pe
ci
This Liability Policy may not be assigned or transferred, and any such attempted assignment or transfer
is void and without effect unless the Company has provided its prior written consent to such assignment
or transfer.
U.
REPRESENTATIONS
By acceptance of the terms set forth in this Liability Policy, each Insured represents and agrees that the
statements contained in the Application, which is deemed to be attached hereto, incorporated herein,
and forming a part hereof, are said Insured’s agreements and representations, that such representations
are material to the Company’s acceptance of this risk, that this Liability Policy is issued in reliance upon
the truth of such representations, and embodies all agreements existing between said Insured and the
Company or any of its agents.
If any statement or representation in the Application is untrue with respect to any Liability Coverage,
such Liability Coverage is void and of no effect whatsoever, but only with respect to:
1.
any Insured Person who knew, as of the Inception Date set forth in ITEM 2 of the Declarations,
that the statement or representation was untrue;
2.
any Insured Organization, with respect to its indemnification coverage, to the extent it
indemnifies any Insured Person referenced in 1. above; and
3.
any Insured Organization, if the person who signed the Application knew that the statement or
representation was untrue.
Whether an Insured Person had such knowledge will be determined without regard to whether the
Insured Person actually knew the Application, or any other application completed for this Liability
Policy, contained any such untrue statement or representation.
V.
LIBERALIZATION
If, during the Policy Period, the Company is required, by law or by insurance supervisory authorities of
the state in which this Liability Policy was issued, to make any changes in the form of this Liability
Policy, by which the insurance afforded by this Liability Policy could be extended or broadened without
increased premium charge by endorsement or substitution of form, then such extended or broadened
insurance will inure to the benefit of the Insured as of the date the revision or change is approved for
general use by the applicable department of insurance.
