b. theft, false pretenses, or common law or statutory larceny, committed by a person physically present in an office of, or on the premises of, the Insured at the time the Property was surrendered,

 

while the Property is lodged or deposited within offices or premises located anywhere. The premises of a Depository will be deemed premises of the Insured, but solely as respects loss of Certificated Securities. Coverage for Certificated Securities held by such Depository is limited to the extent of the Insured’s interest therein as effected by the making of appropriate entries on the books and records of such Depository. The Company will not be liable under Insuring Agreement B for loss in connection with the central handling of securities within the systems established and maintained by any Depository unless the amount of such loss exceeds the amount recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy or participants’ fund insuring the Depository against such loss.

 

This bond does not afford any coverage in favor of any Depository or exchange or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the Depository’s systems.

 

2. Direct loss, through any hazard specified in Insuring Agreement B.1. of any Property while such Property is within any of the Insured’s or an Investment Adviser’s offices and in the possession of any customer of the Insured, any representative of such customer or any Employee whether or not the Insured is liable for the loss thereof, and provided such loss, at the option of the Insured, is included in the Insured’s proof of loss, but excluding, in any event, loss caused by such customer, any representative of such customer, or any Employee.

i. Instruction;

 

j. Statement of Uncertificated Security,

 

that

 

(1) bears a handwritten signature material to the validity or enforceability of the Original Written document that is a Forgery, but only to the extent the Forgery causes the loss;

Actual physical possession, and continued actual physical possession if taken as collateral, of the items listed in 1.a. through 1.j. above by the Insured, an Investment Adviser, a Custodian, or a Federal or State chartered deposit institution of the Insured is a condition precedent to the Insured’s having relied on the faith of such items. Release or return of such collateral is an acknowledgment by the Insured that it no longer relies on such collateral.

 

F. COUNTERFEIT MONEY AND COUNTERFEIT MONEY ORDERS

Loss resulting directly from Computer Fraud.

 

Coverage I.2.   Fraudulent Instructions

 

Loss resulting directly from the Insured or an Investment Adviser having, in good faith, caused a transfer of funds as a result of a Fraudulent Instruction when the Insured or an Investment Adviser, prior to causing the transfer of the funds, used its best efforts to verify the identity of the person transmitting the instruction; provided that if the instruction is purported to be from a Customer, the Insured, or an Investment Adviser:

 

a. performed a Callback Verification with respect to such instruction; or

J. UNCOLLECTIBLE ITEMS OF DEPOSIT

 

Loss, including dividends and interest accrued not to exceed 15% of the value of each Item of Deposit that is deposited, resulting directly from the Insured or Investment Adviser having credited an account of a customer, shareholder or subscriber on the faith of any Items of Deposit that prove to be uncollectible, provided that the crediting of such account causes:

 

1. redemptions or withdrawals to be permitted;

 

2. shares to be issued; or

 

3. dividends to be paid.

 

It is a condition precedent to coverage under this Insuring Agreement that the Insured or Investment Adviser hold funds represented in Items of Deposit for the maximum number of days allowable under Regulation CC before permitting any redemptions or withdrawals, or issuing any shares or paying any dividends with respect to such Items of Deposit.

 

Items of Deposit will not be deemed to be uncollectible until the Insured’s or Investment Adviser’s standard collection procedures have failed.

 

This Insuring Agreement applies to Insureds with exchange privileges if all funds in the exchange program are insured by the Company for Uncollectible Items of Deposit. Regardless of the number of transactions between funds, the maximum number of days allowable under Regulation CC begins from the date a deposit was first credited to any fund in the exchange program.

 

III. GENERAL AGREEMENTS

 

A. ORGANIC GROWTH

 

If an Insured or Investment Adviser, while this bond is in force, adds additional Employees other than by consolidation or merger with, or purchase or acquisition of the assets, assets under management or

 

IVBB-16001 Ed. 01-16

Page 6 of 25

 

 

liabilities of, another institution, such Employees will automatically be covered hereunder from the date of such addition without the requirement of notice to the Company or the payment of additional premium for the remainder of the Policy Period as set forth in ITEM 2 of the Declarations.

 

B. CONSOLIDATION - MERGER - PURCHASE OR ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

 

If the Insured or an Investment Adviser, while this bond is in force, consolidates or merges with, or purchases or acquires assets, assets under management or liabilities of, or purchases or acquires more than 50% voting stock ownership of another institution (hereinafter referred to as a “Transaction”), coverage under this bond for loss which:

 

1. has occurred or will occur in the offices or premises of such institution;

 

2. has been caused or will be caused by any employee or employees of such institution; or

 

3. has arisen or will arise out of the assets, assets under management or liabilities acquired by the Insured as a result of such Transaction,

 

is provided as follows:

 

a. Automatic Loss Sustained Coverage

 

If a Transaction involves assets, assets under management and liabilities in an amount that is more than 25% of the consolidated assets of all Insureds as of the most recent calendar year-end preceding the date of the Transaction, then coverage of this bond as respects the Transaction will be afforded for a Single Loss that is both discovered and for which the acts giving rise to the loss occur in their entirety on or after the effective date of the Transaction. This coverage terminates 60 days after the Transaction date, or the termination date of the bond, whichever comes earlier, unless the Insured provides notice to the Company and obtains the written consent of the Company to extend such coverage beyond said date and, upon obtaining such consent, pays to the Company an additional premium, if required.

 

b. Automatic Discovery Coverage

 

If a Transaction involves assets, assets under management and liabilities in an amount that is 25% or less of the consolidated assets of all Insureds as of the most recent calendar year-end preceding the date of the Transaction, then coverage of this bond as respects the Transaction will be afforded for a Single Loss that is discovered on or after the effective date of the Transaction, for the remainder of the Policy Period as set forth in ITEM 2 of the Declarations, without additional premium being charged and without notice to the Company of the Transaction.

 

C. REPRESENTATION OF INSURED

 

No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the application or otherwise, is deemed to be a warranty of anything except that it is true to the best of the knowledge and belief of the person making the statement.

 

D. JOINT INSURED

 

This bond does not indemnify or hold harmless any Insured for loss sustained by an Investment Adviser, or by a proprietorship, partnership or corporation that is owned, controlled or operated by such Insured, and not named as an Insured hereunder, except as may be provided on a limited basis within General Agreement B., but this paragraph does not apply to loss sustained by a nominee organized by an Insured hereunder other than a holding company.

 

If two or more Insureds are covered under this bond, the first named Insured will act for all Insureds. Payment by the Company to the first named Insured of loss sustained by any Insured fully releases the Company on account of such loss. If the first named Insured ceases to be covered under this bond, the Insured next named will thereafter be considered the first named Insured. In the absence of an Insured

Page 7 of 25

 

 

being specifically next named, the Insured entity having the greatest consolidated assets of all remaining Insureds then becomes the first named Insured. Knowledge possessed or discovery made by any Insured or Investment Adviser constitutes knowledge or discovery by all Insureds for all purposes of this bond. The liability of the Company for loss or losses sustained by all Insureds will not exceed the amount for which the Company would have been liable had all such loss or losses been sustained by one Insured.

 

E. COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEY’S FEES - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - ELECTION TO DEFEND

 

The Company will indemnify the Insured against court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defending any suit or legal proceeding brought against the Insured to enforce the Insured’s liability, or alleged liability, on account of any loss, claim or damage that, if established against the Insured, would constitute a collectible loss under this bond in excess of any Single Loss Deductible Amount, provided, however, that with respect to Insuring Agreement A this indemnity will apply only in the event that:

 

1. an Employee admits to being guilty of Larceny or Embezzlement;

 

2. an Employee is adjudicated to be guilty of Larceny or Embezzlement; or

 

3. in the absence of 1. or 2. above, an arbitration panel agrees, after a review of an agreed statement of facts, that an Employee would be found guilty of Larceny or Embezzlement if such Employee were prosecuted.

 

Such indemnity is in addition to the Single Loss Limit of Insurance for the applicable Insuring Agreement or Coverage.

 

The Insured or an Investment Adviser must notify the Company promptly after notice thereof, of any such suit or legal proceeding and at the request of the Company will furnish it with copies of all pleadings and other papers therein. At the Company’s election the Insured will permit the Company to conduct the defense of such suit or legal proceeding, in the Insured’s name, through attorneys of the Company’s selection. In such event, the Insured and Investment Adviser will give all reasonable information and assistance, other than pecuniary, that the Company deems necessary to the defense of such suit or legal proceeding.

 

If the amount of the Insured’s liability or alleged liability is greater than the amount recoverable under this bond, or if a Single Loss Deductible Amount is applicable, or both, then the liability of the Company under this General Agreement E. is limited to the proportion of court costs and attorney’s fees incurred and paid by the Insured or by the Company that the amount recoverable under this bond bears to the total amount of the Insured’s liability or alleged liability. Any amount not recoverable by reason of the Insured’s liability or alleged liability being greater than the amount recoverable under any insuring agreement of this bond, does not serve to reduce the Single Loss Deductible Amount applicable to such Insuring Agreement or Coverage.

 

If the Company pays court costs and attorney’s fees in excess of its proportionate share of such costs and fees, the Insured will promptly reimburse the Company for such excess.

The Company is liable hereunder only for the amount by which any Single Loss exceeds the Single Loss Deductible Amount for the Insuring Agreement or Coverage applicable to such loss, subject to the applicable Single Loss Limit of Insurance.

 

If a Single Loss is covered under more than one Coverage within an Insuring Agreement, the Single Loss Deductible Amount set forth in ITEM 4 of the Declarations for each applicable Coverage will apply separately to the part of such Single Loss covered under such Coverage, however the sum of such Single Loss Deductible Amounts for such Single Loss will not exceed the highest applicable Single Loss Deductible Amount for any such Coverage.

 

The Insured will, in the time and in the manner prescribed in this bond, give the Company notice of any loss of the kind covered by the terms of this bond that exceeds 25% of the Single Loss Deductible Amount applicable to such loss, whether or not the Company is liable therefor, and upon the request of the Company will file with it a brief statement giving the particulars concerning such loss.

 

G. NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIMITS

 

The Single Loss Limit of Insurance of the Company is not cumulative in amount from Bond Period to Bond Period, regardless of the number of years this bond is in force, the number of times this bond may be renewed or replaced, or the number of premiums that are payable or paid.

 

H. NOTICE - PROOF OF LOSS - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

1. At the earliest practicable moment not to exceed 90 days after discovery of loss, the Insured or Investment Adviser must give the Company notice thereof.

Page 20 of 25

 

 

2. Within six months after such discovery, the Insured or Investment Adviser must furnish to the Company proof of loss, duly sworn to, with full particulars.

 

3. Lost Certificated Securities listed in a proof of loss will be identified by certificate or bond numbers if such securities were issued therewith.

 

4. Legal proceedings for the recovery of any loss hereunder will not be brought prior to the expiration of 60 days after the original proof of loss is filed with the Company or after the expiration of 24 months from the discovery of such loss, except that any action or proceeding to recover hereunder on account of any judgment against the Insured in any suit mentioned in General Agreement E., or to recover attorney’s fees paid in any such suit, will be brought within 24 months from the date upon which the judgment and such suit will become final.

 

5. If any limitation embodied in this bond is prohibited by any law controlling the construction hereof, such limitation will be deemed to be amended so as to equal the minimum period of limitation provided by such law.

 

6. This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured, and the Company will not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured. No suit, action or legal proceedings will be brought hereunder by anyone other than the Insured.

 

I. VALUATION

 

1. Money

 

Any loss of Money, or loss payable in Money, will be paid, at the option of the Insured, in the Money of the country in which the loss was sustained or in the U.S. dollar equivalent thereof determined at the rate of exchange at the time of payment of such loss.

 

2. Securities

 

The Company will settle in kind its liability under this bond on account of a loss of any securities or, at the option of the Insured, will pay to the Insured the cost of replacing such securities, determined by their highest quoted market value at any time between the business day next preceding the discovery of the loss and the day that the loss is settled. In case of a loss of subscription, conversion or redemption privileges through the misplacement or loss of securities, the amount of such loss will be the value of such privileges immediately preceding the expiration thereof. If such securities cannot be replaced or have no quoted market value, or if such privileges have no quoted market value, their value will be determined by agreement or, at the option of the Insured, arbitration.

 

If the applicable coverage of this bond is subject to a Single Loss Deductible Amount or is not sufficient in amount to indemnify the Insured in full for the loss of securities for which claim is made hereunder, the liability of the Company under this bond is limited to the payment for, or the duplication of, so much of such securities as has a value equal to the amount of such applicable coverage.

 

If, at the instance of the Company, the Insured or any customer of the Insured becomes principal upon any bonds, or gives any undertakings, required as a prerequisite to the reissuing or duplicating of any securities for the loss of which the Company is liable under this bond, the Company will become surety upon such bonds or undertakings without premium charge and will indemnify the Insured or such customer against any loss that the Insured or such customer may sustain by reason of having become principal upon any such bonds or having given any such undertakings. The amount of indemnity under this paragraph will not exceed the amount stated in ITEM 4 of the Declarations for the applicable Insuring Agreement.

 

3. Books of Account and Other Records

 

In case of loss of, or damage to, any books of account or other records used by the Insured in its business, the Company will be liable under this bond only if such books or records are actually reproduced and then for not more than the cost of the blank books, blank pages or other

 

IVBB-16001 Ed. 01-16

Page 21 of 25

 

 

materials plus the cost of labor for the actual transcription or copying of data that have been furnished by the Insured in order to reproduce such books and other records.

 

4. Property other than Money, Securities, Books of Account or Other Records

 

In case of loss of, or damage to, any Property other than Money, securities, books of account or other records, except damage covered under Insuring Agreement B.2. or B.3., the Company will not be liable for more than the actual cash value of such Property. The Company may, at its election, pay the actual cash value of, repair or replace such Property.

 

With respect to damage of Property covered under Insuring Agreement B.2., the Company will be liable for the full cost of repair or replacement of such Property, without deduction for depreciation.

 

Disagreement between the Company and the Insured as to the cash value, replacement value or as to the adequacy of repair or replacement will be resolved by agreement or, at the option of the Insured, arbitration.

 

J. ASSIGNMENT

 

In the event of payment under this bond, the Insured or Investment Adviser will deliver, if so requested by the Company, an assignment of such of the Insured’s rights, title and interest and causes of action as it has against any person or entity to the extent of the loss payment.

 

K. SUBROGATION

 

In the event of payment under this bond, the Company will be subrogated to all of the Insured’s rights of recovery therefor against any person or entity to the extent of such payment. If the rules of a Depository provide that the Insured will be assessed for a portion of any judgment (or agreed settlement) taken by the Company based upon the assignment set forth in Condition J. above and the Insured actually pays such assessment, the Company will reimburse the Insured for the amount of the assessment. However, such reimbursement will not exceed the amount of the loss payment by the Company.

 

L. RECOVERIES

 

1. All recoveries, whether effected by the Company or by the Insured will be applied, after first deducting the costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery, in the following order of priority:

 

a. first, to the Insured to reimburse the Insured for loss sustained that would have been paid under this bond but for the fact that such loss is in excess of the Single Loss Limit of Insurance, provided however, such loss does not include claim expense payments made by the Insured in excess of the Single Loss Limit of Insurance of Insuring Agreement G and such payments will not be deemed excess for purposes of establishing order of priority;

 

b. second, to the Company in satisfaction of amounts paid or to be paid to the Insured in settlement of the Insured’s claim;

 

c. third, to the Insured in satisfaction of any Single Loss Deductible Amount; and

 

d. fourth, to the Insured in satisfaction of any loss not covered under this bond.

 

2. Recovery on account of loss of securities as set forth in Condition I.2., or recovery from reinsurance or indemnity of the Company, will not be deemed a recovery as used herein.

 

In determining the amount of any loss covered under this bond, all Money received by the Insured from any source whatsoever in connection with any matter from which a loss has arisen, including payments and receipts of principal, interest, dividends, commission, and the like, received prior to a loss settlement under this bond, will be deducted from the amount actually paid out, advanced, withdrawn, taken or otherwise lost or stolen. The value of all property received by the Insured from any source whatever and

Page 22 of 25

 

 

whenever received, in connection with any matter from which a loss has arisen, will be valued as of the date received and will likewise be deducted from the claimed loss.

 

M. COOPERATION

 

Upon the Company’s request, and at reasonable times and places designated by the Company, the Insured will:

 

1. submit to examination by the Company and subscribe to the same under oath;

 

2. produce for the Company’s examination all pertinent records; and

 

3. cooperate with the Company in all matters pertaining to the loss.

 

The Insured will execute all papers and render assistance to secure to the Company the rights and causes of action provided for herein.

 

The Insured will do nothing after discovery of loss to prejudice such rights or causes of action and must do everything reasonably necessary to secure those rights and causes of action.

 

N. ANTI-BUNDLING

 

If any Insuring Agreement requires that an enumerated type of document be altered or Counterfeit, or contain a signature that is a Forgery, or that it be obtained through trick, artifice, fraud or false pretenses, the alteration, Counterfeit, or signature must be on or of the enumerated document itself, not on or of some other document submitted with, accompanying, or incorporated by reference into, the enumerated document.

 

O. LIMIT OF INSURANCE UNDER THIS BOND AND PRIOR INSURANCE

 

With respect to any Single Loss that is recoverable or recovered in whole or in part under any other bonds or policies issued by the Company to the Insured or to any predecessor in interest of the Insured and canceled or terminated or allowed to expire and in which the period for discovery has not expired at the time any such loss thereunder is discovered, the total liability of the Company under this bond and under such other bonds or policies will not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount carried hereunder on such loss or the amount available to the Insured under such other bonds or policies, as limited by the terms and conditions thereof, for any such loss if the latter amount be the larger.

 

If the coverage of this bond supersedes in whole or in part the coverage of any other bond or policy of insurance issued by an insurer other than the Company and canceled, terminated or allowed to expire, the Company, with respect to any loss sustained prior to such cancelation, termination or expiration and discovered within the period permitted under such other bond or policy for the discovery of loss thereunder, will be liable under this bond only for that part of such loss covered by this bond as is in excess of the amount recoverable or recovered on account of such loss under such other bond or policy, anything to the contrary in such other bond or policy notwithstanding.

 

P. OTHER INSURANCE OR INDEMNITY

 

Coverage afforded hereunder applies only as excess over any valid and collectible insurance or indemnity obtained by:

 

1. the Insured;

 

2. anyone other than the Insured;

 

3. a Transportation Company;

 

4. another entity on whose premises the loss occurred or that employed the person causing the loss; or

 

5. the messenger conveying the Property involved.

Q. COVERED PROPERTY

 

This bond applies to loss of Property:

 

1. that is owned by the Insured;

 

2. that is held by the Insured in any capacity; or

 

3. for which the Insured is responsible,

 

prior to or at the time of the occurrence of the loss. This bond is for the sole use and benefit of the Insured.

 

R. CANCELATION, TERMINATION, CHANGE, OR MODIFICATION

 

1. Cancelation

 

a. This bond is canceled in its entirety immediately upon receipt by the Company of a Written notice from the Insured or an Investment Adviser of its desire to cancel this bond, provided the Insured or Investment Adviser has provided at least 60 days’ advance Written notice to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company will notify all other Insureds of the receipt of such a cancelation request from the Insured or Investment Adviser, however the cancelation will not be effective until 60 days after receipt of Written notice by all other Insureds.

 

b. This bond is canceled in its entirety 60 days after the receipt by each Insured and the SEC, of a Written notice from the Company of its desire to cancel this bond.

 

c. Coverage is canceled as to any Employee, or as to any partner, officer, or employee of any Electronic Data Processor 60 days after the receipt by the Insured and the SEC, of a written notice from the Company of its desire to cancel coverage under this bond as to such person.

 

2. Termination

 

a. This bond terminates in its entirety immediately upon the Expiration Date set forth in ITEM 2 of the Declarations.

 

b. This bond terminates as to any Insured:

 

(1) immediately upon the surrender of such Insured’s charter to any governmental authority; or

 

(2) immediately upon the taking over of such Insured by a receiver or other liquidator or by any State or Federal official,

 

whichever occurs first.

 

Termination of the bond as to any Insured terminates liability for any loss sustained by such Insured that is discovered after the effective date of such termination.

 

c. Coverage terminates as to any Employee, or as to any partner, officer, or employee of any Electronic Data Processor:

 

(1) as soon as any Director or Officer or Insured not in collusion with such person, learns of any dishonest or fraudulent employment related act, including Larceny or Embezzlement; or

 

(2) 60 days after any director or officer of the Insured not in collusion with such person, learns of any dishonest or fraudulent non-employment related act,

 

IVBB-16001 Ed. 01-16

Page 24 of 25

 

 

including Larceny or Embezzlement, that resulted in a loss of Property in excess of $25,000,

 

either of which were committed by such person at any time, whether in the employment of the Insured or otherwise, whether or not of the type covered under Insuring Agreement A, against the Insured or any other person or entity, without prejudice to the loss of any Property then in transit in the custody of such person.

 

However, termination of coverage as to any Employee as set forth in c.(1) and c.(2) of the preceding paragraph, will not apply to any such person provided the Insured has received and retains an original letter signed by a prior insurer reinstating coverage for such individual for whom the Insured discovered had committed a dishonest or fraudulent act prior to the effective date of this bond.

 

3. Change or Modification

 

This bond or any instrument amending or affecting this bond may not be changed or modified orally. No changes in or modification of this bond will be effective unless made by Written endorsement issued to form a part of this bond and including the signature of the Company’s Authorized Representative. When a bond covers only one Insured no change or modification that would adversely affect the rights of the Insured will be effective prior to 60 days after Written notification has been furnished to the SEC by the Insured, Investment Adviser or the Company. If more than one Insured is named under this bond, the Company will give Written notice to each Insured and to the SEC not less than 60 days prior to the effective date of any change or modification that would adversely affect the rights of such Insured.

 

S. DISCOVERY PERIOD

 

At any time prior to the cancelation or termination of this bond in its entirety, whether by the Insured, an Investment Adviser, or the Company, the Insured or an Investment Adviser may give to the Company written notice that it desires under this bond an additional period of 12 months within which to discover loss sustained by the Insured prior to the effective date of such cancelation or termination and will pay an additional premium therefor.

 

Upon receipt of such notice from the Insured or an Investment Adviser, the Company will give its written consent thereto; provided, that such additional period of time terminates immediately:

 

1. on the effective date of any other insurance obtained by the Insured, its successor in business or any other party, replacing in whole or in part the insurance afforded by this bond, whether or not such other insurance provides coverage for loss sustained prior to its effective date; or

 

2. upon any takeover of the Insured’s business by any state or federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator acting or appointed for this purpose,

 

whichever occurs first, and without the necessity of the Company giving notice of such termination. In the event that such additional period of time is terminated, as provided above, the Company will refund on a pro-rata basis, any unearned premium.

 

The right to purchase such additional period for the discovery of loss may not be exercised by any state or federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed to take over the Insured’s business for the operation or for the liquidation thereof or for any other purpose.

 

The Company’s total liability for any loss discovered during such additional period of time is part of, and not in addition to, the Single Loss Limit of Insurance of the Bond Period that terminates immediately preceding the effective date of such additional period.

b. The Company may cancel this bond in its entirety by mailing or delivering Written notice of cancelation as follows:

e. Notice of cancelation will be delivered or sent by:

 

(1) Registered mail;

 

(2) Certified mail; or

 

(3) United States Mail evidenced by a United States Post Office certificate of mailing.

 

2. Termination

 

a. This bond terminates in its entirety immediately upon the Expiration Date set forth in ITEM 2 of the Declarations.

 

b. This bond terminates as to any Insured:

 

(1) immediately upon the surrender of such Insured’s charter to any governmental authority; or

 

(2) immediately upon the taking over of such Insured by a receiver or other liquidator or by any State or Federal official,

 

whichever occurs first.

 

Termination of the bond as to any Insured terminates liability for any loss sustained by such Insured that is discovered after the effective date of such termination.

 

c. With respect to any Employee or any partner, officer or employee of any Electronic Data Processor, upon the detection by any Insured that such Employee or partner, officer or employee of any Electronic Data Processor (hereafter “detected Employee”) has committed any dishonest or fraudulent acts or theft, the Insured must immediately remove the detected Employee from a position that may enable the detected Employee to cause the Insured to suffer a loss by any subsequent dishonest or fraudulent acts or theft. The Insured, within 48 hours of such detection, must notify the Company with full and complete particulars of the detected dishonest or fraudulent acts or theft.

 

For purposes of this section, detection occurs when any partner, officer, or supervisory Employee of any Insured, who is not in collusion with the detected Employee, becomes aware that the detected Employee has committed any dishonest or fraudulent acts or theft.

 

Coverage under this bond with respect to such Employee will terminate upon Written notice from the Company to each Insured of not less than 90 days prior to the effective date of termination, and to the Securities and Exchange Commission of not less than 60 days prior to the effective date of termination, specified in such notice.

 

Termination of coverage as to any Employee or any partner, officer or employee of any Electronic Data Processor as set forth above will not apply to any such person provided the Insured has received and retains an original letter signed by a prior insurer reinstating coverage for such individual for whom the Insured discovered had committed a dishonest or fraudulent act prior to the effective date of this bond.

This bond or any instrument amending or affecting this bond may not be changed or modified orally. No changes in or modification of this bond will be effective unless made by Written endorsement issued to form a part of this bond and including the signature of the Company’s Authorized Representative. When a bond covers only one Insured no change or modification that would adversely affect the rights of the Insured will be effective prior to no less than 60 days after Written notification has been furnished to the SEC by the Insured, Investment Adviser or the Company. If more than one Insured is named under this bond, the Company will give Written notice to each Insured not less than 90 days prior to the effective date of any change or

4. Nonrenewal

 

If the Company decides not to offer to renew this bond, the Company will mail or deliver to the Insured set forth in ITEM 1 of the Declarations, and to each Insured a Written notice of nonrenewal, stating the reason for nonrenewal, at least 90 days before the Expiration Date in ITEM 2 of the declarations and to the SEC at least 60 days before the Expiration Date in ITEM 2 of the declarations. This notice will be delivered or sent by:

 

(1) Registered mail;

 

(2) Certified mail; or

In consideration of the payment of the premium, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa.® (the “Insurer”) and insureds agree as follows:

 

INSURING   This policy shall provide coverage in accordance with the same terms, conditions and
     
AGREEMENT   limitations of the Followed Policy, as modified by and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of 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 by, on behalf of or in the place of the Underlying Insurers of amounts covered under the Underlying Policies. This policy shall continue in force as primary insurance only upon the exhaustion of the Total Underlying Limits by reason of such payments and satisfaction of any applicable retention. This policy shall recognize erosion of an Underlying Limit of an Underlying Policy through payments by others of covered amounts under that Underlying Policy. The risk of uncollectability of any part of the Total Underlying Limits, for any reason, is expressly retained by the Policyholder and any insureds, and is not insured under this policy or assumed by the Insurer.
     
LIMIT OF LIABILITY   The Limit of Liability is the aggregate limit of the Insurer’s liability for all coverage under this policy.
     
NOTICES   Where the Followed Policy requires or permits notice to its insurer, the Policyholder or the insureds have the same obligations and rights to notify the Insurer under this policy, except that with respect to this policy, any notice to the Insurer must be directed as follows: (i) for claims-related matters, by mail or e-mail to the Claims Address; and (ii) for all other notices, by mail to the Insurer Address.
     
RIGHTS   The Insurer shall have the same rights, privileges and protections afforded to the Underlying Insurer of the Followed Policy in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of the Followed 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 Policyholder, its subsidiaries and any insureds shall provide the Insurer with such information, assistance and cooperation as the Insurer may reasonably request and shall not do anything that prejudices the Insurer’s position or potential rights of recovery.

EXCESS INSURANCE POLICY

 

Words defined in the Followed Policy have the same meaning in this Policy even if not defined herein. In consideration of the payment of the premium and in reliance upon the applications submitted to the Insurer or any insurer of the Underlying Insurance, and any other material submitted in connection with such applications (all of which are deemed attached hereto and made a part hereof) the Insurer and the Insureds agree as follows:

 

I.       FOLLOW FORM EXCESS COVERAGE

 

The Insurer shall provide coverage in accordance with all of the terms, conditions and limitations (including, but not limited to the exclusions and notice requirements) of the policy scheduled in Item 4.A. of the Declarations (hereafter “Followed Policy”) except as otherwise set forth herein. Coverage hereunder shall attach only after all of the aggregate Limits of Liability, as set forth in Item 4. of the Declarations have been exhausted through payment of covered loss under all policies scheduled in Item 4. of the Declarations (hereafter “Underlying Insurance”) by or on behalf of the insurers of such Underlying Insurance, or by or on behalf of the Insureds. The risk of uncollectibility of any Underlying Insurance (in whole or in part), whether because of financial impairment or insolvency of an underlying insurer or for any other reason, is expressly retained by the Insureds and is not insured by or assumed by the Insurer.

 

II.     LIMIT OF LIABILITY

 

The amount set forth in Item 3. of the Declarations shall be the maximum aggregate Limit of Liability of the Insurer for all loss under this Policy, regardless of the number of claims made against the Insureds or the time of payment and regardless of whether or not an extended reporting period applies. If the Limit of Liability under this Policy is exhausted by payment of loss, the Insurer’s obligations under this Policy shall be deemed completely fulfilled and extinguished.

 

III.   CHANGES TO UNDERLYING INSURANCE/DEPLETION OF SUB-LIMITS

 

If, subsequent to the inception date of this Policy, there is a change to any Underlying Insurance which expands coverage, then this Policy shall become subject to such change only if the Insurer agrees thereto by written endorsement to this Policy. If any loss under any Underlying Insurance is subject to a sub-limit, then this Policy provides no coverage excess of such Underlying Insurance sub-limit, but the Underlying Insurance shall be deemed depleted by payment of any such sub-limit.

 

IV.    INSURER RIGHTS/COOPERATION CLAUSE

 

The Insurer has the same rights and protections as has the insurer of the Followed Policy and has the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to elect to participate in the investigation, settlement, prosecution or defense of any claim reasonably likely to attach to and be covered under this Policy or any Underlying Insurance, even if the Underlying Insurance has not been exhausted. The Insureds shall cooperate with the Insurer in such investigation, settlement, prosecution or defense and shall do nothing that prejudices the Insurer’s position or rights of recovery.

 

V.     NOTICES

 

Where notice is permitted or required by the Followed Policy, the Insureds have the same rights and obligations to notify the Insurer under this Policy, except that such notice shall be given to the Insurer at the applicable address specified in Item 6. of the Declarations.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Insurer has caused this Policy to be executed by its Chairman and Secretary, but this Policy shall not be binding upon us unless completed by the attachment of the Declarations:
