EXCESS INSURANCE POLICY
In consideration of the payment of the premium and in reliance on all
statements made and information furnished to Continental Casualty Company
(hereinafter called the "Insurer"), and/or to the insurers of the Underlying
Insurance, including the statements made in the Application made a part hereof
and subject to all of the provisions of this Policy, the Insurer and the
Insureds agree as follows:
I. INSURING AGREEMENT
The Insurer shall provide the Insureds with excess coverage over the
Underlying Insurance as set forth in Item 4 of the Declarations during the
Policy Period set forth in Item 2 of Declarations. Coverage hereunder shall
attach only after all such Underlying Insurance has been exhausted by payments
for losses and shall then apply in conformance with the same provisions of the
Primary Policy at its inception, except for premium, limit of liability and as
otherwise specifically set forth in the provisions of this Policy.
II. POLICY DEFINITIONS
Application shall mean the written application for this Policy, including any
materials submitted therewith, which together shall be on file with the
Insurer and deemed a part of and attached hereto as if physically attached to
this Policy.
Named Entity means the organization named in Item 1 of the Declarations.
Insureds means those persons or organization(s) insured under the Primary
Policy, at its inception.
Policy Period means the period from the effective date and hour of this Policy
as set forth in Item 2 of the Declarations, to the Policy expiration date and
hour set forth in Item 2 of the Declarations, or its earlier cancellation date
or termination date, if any.
Primary Policy means the Policy scheduled in Item 4 (a) of the Declarations.
Underlying Insurance means all those Policies scheduled in Item 4 of the
Declarations and any Policies replacing them.
III. 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 aggregate limit(s) of liability available under the
Underlying Insurance solely by reason of payment of losses thereunder.
Failure to comply with the foregoing shall not invalidate this Policy but the
Insurer shall not be liable to a greater extent than if this condition had
been complied with. To the extent that any Underlying Insurance is not
maintained in full effect during the currency of this
Policy Period, then the Insureds shall be deemed to have retained any loss for
the amount of the limit of liability of any Underlying Insurance which is not
maintained as set forth above.
In the event of any actual or alledged (a) failure by the Insureds to give
notice or to exercise any extensions under any Underlying Insurance or (b)
misrepresentation or breach of warranties by any of the Insured with respect
to any Underlying Insurance, the Insurer shall not be liable hereunder to a
greater extent than it would have been in the absence of such actual or
alleged failure, misrepresentation or breach.
It is further a condition of this Policy that the Insurer shall be notified in
writing, as soon as practicable of cancellation and/or alteration of any
provisions of any of the policies of Underlying Insurance.
IV. 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 the Policy Period.
Costs of defense shall be part of and not in addition to the Limit of
Liability in Item 3 of the Declarations, and such costs of defense shall
reduce the Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of the Declarations.
V. DEPLETION OF UNDERLYING (LIMITS)
In the event of the depletion of the limit(s) of liability of the Underlying
Insurance solely as the result of the actual payment of losses thereunder by
the applicable insurers, this Policy shall, subject to the Insurer's Limit of
Liability and to the other terms of this Policy, continue to apply to losses
as Excess Insurance over the amount of insurance remaining under such
Underlying Insurance. In the event of the exhaustion of all of the limit(s)
of liability of such Underlying Insurance solely as a result of payment of
losses thereunder, the remaining limits available under this Policy shall,
subject to the Insurer's Limit of Liability and to the other provisions of
this Policy, continue for subsequent losses as primary insurance and any
retention specified in the Primary Policy shall be imposed under this Policy
as to each claim made; otherwise no retention shall be imposed under this
policy.
This Policy only provides coverage excess of the Underlying Insurance. This
Policy does not provide coverage for any loss not covered by the Underlying
Insurance except and to the extent that such loss is not paid under the
Underlying Insurance solely by reason of the reduction or exhaustion of the
available Underlying Insurance through payments of loss thereunder. In the
event the insurer of one or more of the Underlying Insurance polices fails to
pay loss in connection with any claim covered under the Underlying Insurance
as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy, or liquidation of said insurer,
then the Insureds hereunder shall be deemed to have retained any loss for the
amount of limit of liability of said insurer which is not paid as the result
of such insolvency, bankruptcy or liquidation.
If any Underlying Insurance bears an effective date which is prior to the
effective date of this Policy and if any such Insurance becomes exhuasted or
impaired by payment of loss with respect to any claim which, shall be deemed
to be made prior to the effective date of this Policy, then with respect to
any claim made after the the effective date of this Policy, the Insureds shall
be deemed to have retained any loss for the amount of any such Underlying
Insurance which is exhausted or impaired by payment of loss with respect to
such claim made prior to the effective date of this Policy.
VI. CLAIM PARTICIPATION
The Insured shall not admit liability, consent to any judgment against them,
or agree to any settlement which is reasonably likely to involve the Limit of
Liability of this Policy without the Insurer's consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.
The Insurer may, at its sole discretion, elect to participate in the
investigation, settlement or defense of any claim against any of the Insureds
for matters covered by this Policy even if the Underlying Insurance has not
been exhausted.
All provisions of the Underlying Insurance are considered as part of this
Policy except that it shall be the duty of the Insureds and not the duty of
the Insurer to defend any claims against any of the Insureds.
VII. SUBROGATION - RECOVERIES
In that this Policy is "Excess Coverage", the Insureds and the Insurer's right
of recovery against any person or other entity may not be exclusively
subrogated. Despite the foregoing, in the event of any payment under this
Policy, the Insurer shall be subrogated to all the Insured's rights of
recovery against any person or organization, and the Insureds shall execute
and deliver instruments and papers and do whatever else is necessary to secure
such rights.
Any amounts recovered after payment of loss hereunder 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 ratio of respective
recoveries.
VIII. NOTICE
The Insurer shall be given notice in writing as soon as is practicable in the
event (a) the cancellation of any Underlying Insurance and (b) any additional
or return premiums charged or allowed in connection with any Underlying
Insurance. Notice regarding (a) and (b) above shall be given to Manager,
Directors and Officers Liability Underwriting, CNA Insurance Companies, CNA
Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60685.
The Insurer shall be given notice as soon as practicable of any notice of
claim or any situation that could give rise to a claim under any Underlying
Insurance. Notice of any claim to the Insurer shall be given in writing to
Manager, Professional Liability Claims, CNA Insurance Companies, CNA Plaza,

Declarations agrees to act on behalf of all the Insureds with respect to the
giving and receiving of notice of claim or cancellations, the payment of
premiums and the receiving of any return premiums that may become due under
this Policy; and the Insureds agree that the Named Entity shall in all cases
be authorized to act on their behalf.
X. ALTERATION
No change in or modification of this Policy shall be effective except when
made by endorsement signed by an authorized employee of the Insurer or any of
its agents relating to this Policy.
XI. POLICY CANCELLATION
This Policy may be cancelled by the Named Entity at any time by written notice
or by surrender of this Policy to the Insurer. This Policy may also be
cancelled by or on behalf of the Insurer by delivery to the Named Entity or by
mailing to the Named Entity, by registered, certified or other first class
mail, at the address shown in Item 1 of the Declarations, written notice
stating when, not less than thirty (30) days thereafter, the cancellation
shall become effective. The mailing of such notice as aforesaid shall be
sufficient proof of notice and this Policy shall cancel at the date and hour
specified in such notice.
If the period of limitation relating to the giving of notice is prohibited or
made void by any law controlling the construction thereof, such period shall
be deemed to be amended so as to be equal to the minimum period of limitation
permitted by such law.
The Insurer shall refund the unearned premium computed at less than pro-rata
if the Policy is cancelled in its entirety by the Named Entity. Under any
other circumstances the refund shall be computed pro-rata.
XII. EXCLUSIONS

effects of pollutants, or
b. claim by or on behalf of a governmental authority for damages
because of testing for, monitoring, cleaning up, removing,

contaminant, including smoke, vapor, soot, fumes, acids, alkalis, chemicals
and waste. Waste includes materials to be recycled, reconditioned or
reclaimed.
XIII. CONDITIONS
No action shall be taken against the Insurer unless, as a condition precedent,
there shall have been full compliance with all the provisions of this Policy,
nor until the amount of the Insureds obligation to pay shall have been finally
determined either by final and nonappealable judgement against the Insureds
after trial, or by written agreement of the Insureds, the claimant and the
Insurer.

(8) based upon or attributable to the essential fact underlying
or alleged in any matter which prior to the inception date
of this policy has been the subject of notice to any Insurer
of a Claim, or a threat of Claim, or an occurrence which might
give rise to a Claim under any policy of which this insurance
is a renewal or replacement or which it may succeed in time;
(9) based upon, arising out of directly or indirectly resulting
from, in consequence of, or in any way involving service by
an Insured Person as a director or officer of any entity other
than the Insured Organization even if such service is directed
or requested by the Insured Organization;
(10) alleging, arising out of, based upon or attributable to the
ownership, management, maintenance and/or control by the

entity including but not limited to Claims alleging the
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Insured Organization named
in Item 1 of the Declarations as a result of such ownership,

Insured Organization or by any of the Insured Persons, except
where such offer or purchase extends to all security holders
of the Insured Organization;

unsuccessful, by the Insured Organization or any of its
Insured Persons to resist such attempts;
SECTION 4. CONDITIONS
(A) INDEMNITY PAYMENT FOR DEFENSE EXPENSES; INSURER HAS NO DUTY TO
PROVIDE DEFENSE
(1) It is the duty of the Insured Person and not the duty of the
Insurer to provide for a defense of Claims against them. The
Insurer shall indemnify the Insured Person or Insured
Organization for Defense Expenses after final disposition of
a covered Claim. No Defense Expenses shall be incurred and no
settlement of any Claim shall be made without the Insurer's
written consent; such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
Any Defense Expenses incurred or settlements made without the
written consent of the Insurer will not be covered under this
policy.
(2) Under Section 1. Insuring Clause (A), (B), the Insurer may,
upon written request by an Insured Person, pay on a current
basis Defense Expenses which are otherwise payable under this
policy except to the extent that the Insured Organization is
required or permitted to indemnify the Insured Person for such
Defense Expenses.
(3) Under Section 1. Insuring Clause (B), The Insurer may, upon
written request by the Insured Organization, reimburse on a
current basis Defense Expenses which are otherwise payable
under this policy.
(4) Any Insured Person or the Insured Organization requesting that
the Insurer pay on a current basis Defense Expenses for a
claim hereunder must agree in writing, prior to any payment
of Defense Expenses by the Insurer, that upon demand the
Insured Person or the Insured Organization or both will repay
the Insurer all Defense Expenses paid to or on behalf of such
Insured Person in connection with such Claim if the Insurer
determines that there is no coverage under Insuring Clause
(A) or (B).
(5) The Insured Organization and the Insured Persons shall give
the Insurer the right to associate itself in the defense and
settlement of any Claim that appears reasonably likely to
involve the Insurer.
(B) OTHER INSURANCE; OTHER INDEMNIFICATION
In the event that:
(1) there is any other insurance, whether prior or subsequent
to this policy, directly or indirectly covering or insuring
any Wrongful Act by an Insured Person otherwise covered by
this policy, or
(2) there is indemnification to which an Insured Person is
entitled from any entity other than the Insured Organization,
then all other insurance or indemnification shall apply first to
the noticed Claim and this policy shall not be considered
contributing but will indemnify only the difference between all
amounts recoverable under all other insurance or indemnification
and the amounts of any Loss otherwise covered under this policy,
not exceeding the limit of liability shown on the Declarations
Page and subject to all policy provisions. In the event there is
other insurance or indemnity available to the Insured Person or
Insured Organization, then this insurance shall provide specific
excess coverage only and shall not be subject to the terms of any
other insurance or indemnity.
(C) LIMIT OF LIABILITY; RETENTION; PAYMENT OF LOSS
(1) The amount stated in Item 3 of the Declaration is the maximum
aggregate limit of liability under the policy and the total
amount the Insurer shall be obligated to indemnify under the
policy whether under Section 1. Insuring Agreements (A) or
(B) or both, regardless of the time of payment by the Insurer.
Defense Expenses shall be part of and not in addition to the
limit of liability, and payment of Defense Expenses by the
Insurer will deplete the limit of liability.
(2) All Claims based on, arising out of, directly or indirectly
resulting from, in consequence of, or in any way involving
the same or related facts, circumstances, situations,
transactions or events, or the same or related series of
facts, circumstances, situations, transactions or events,
shall be deemed to be a single Claim.
(3) If Loss from a Claim is covered under more than one Insuring
Clause, the application retention stated in Item 4 of the
Declarations Page shall be applied separately to that part of
the Loss covered by each Insuring Clause, and the sum of such
retentions shall be the retention applicable to such Claim.
However, the total retention shall not exceed the largest
retention stated in Item 4 of the Declarations Page.
(4) The company reimbursement RETENTION and SECTION 1 INSURING
CLAUSE (B) shall be applicable to all Claims whenever
indemnification by the Insured Organization is legally
permissible or statutorily required, whether or not the
Insured Organization has agreed to indemnify its Insured
Persons or not, except where actual indemnification cannot
be made by the Insured Organization to its Insured Persons
solely by reason of the Insured Organization's financial
insolvency.
(5) Except for the payment of Defense Expenses as provided in
Section 4. Conditions (A), (2) and (3), the Insurer shall
indemnify for Loss only upon the final disposition of any
Claim.
(D) COOPERATION; SUBROGATION
In the event of a Claim or notice of circumstances under Section
4. Conditions (G), (1), (2), the Insured Person will provide the
Insurer with all information, assistance and cooperation that the
Insurer reasonably requests, and will take no action that may
prejudice the Insured Persons or Insurer's position or potential
or actual rights or defense under the policy without the Insurer's
consent. In the event of payment by the Insurer, it shall be
subrogated to all of the rights of recovery of the Insured Persons,
who shall execute all papers and take all necessary actions to
secure such rights, including the execution of any documents
necessary to enable the Insurer effectively to bring suit in the
Insured Persons name.
Any amount so recovered shall be apportioned for the repayment
of; first, the Insurer's subrogation expenses, legal fees and
costs; second, payments by the Insured Person or Insured
Organization in excess of the retention and applicable insurance;
third, payments by an excess insurer; fourth, payments by the
Insurer; and last, reimbursement of the retention.
(E) DISCOVERY PERIOD
If the Insurer shall cancel or refuse to renew this policy the
Insured Organization shall have the right, upon payment of an
additional premium of fifty percent (50%) of the Full Annual
Premium, to a period of ninety (90) days following the effective
date of such cancellation or nonrenewal (herein referred to as the
Discovery Period) in which to give written notice to the Insurer
of claims first made against the Insured Persons during said
ninety (90) day period for any Wrongful Act occurring prior to the
end of the Policy Period and otherwise covered by this policy.
As used herein, Full Annual Premium means the premium level in
effect immediately prior to the end of the Policy Period.
The rights contained in this clause shall terminate unless written
notice of such election, together with the additional premium,
is received by Royal Specialty Underwriting, Inc. at the address
shown on the Declarations Page within ten (10) days of the
effective date of cancellation or nonrenewal. The full additional
premium for the Discovery Period shall be fully earned at the
inception of the Discovery Period. The Discovery Period is not
cancellable. This clause and the rights contained herein shall
not apply to any cancellation resulting from non-payment of
premium.
(F) RENEWAL PROVISION
The offer by the Insurer of renewal terms, conditions, limits of
liability and/or premiums varying from those of the expiring policy
shall not constitute a refusal to renew.
(G) NOTICE OF CLAIM OR CIRCUMSTANCE
(1) If during the Policy Period and Claim is first made, as a
condition precedent to indemnity, the Insured Organization
must give written notice to Royal Specialty Underwriting, Inc.
on behalf of the Insurer by certified mail and properly
addressed to the address shown on the Declarations Page, of
such Claim as soon as practicable after such Claim is first
made and in no event later than the expiration date or any
earlier cancellation date of this policy.
(2) If during the Policy Period, an Insured Person or the Insured
Organization first becomes aware of any circumstance which may
reasonably be expected to give rise to a Claim against any
Insured Person and, as soon as practicable thereafter, before
the expiration date or any earlier cancellation date of the
policy, gives to Royal Specialty Underwriting, Inc. on behalf
of the Insurer written notice via certified mail at the
address shown on the Declarations Page of such circumstance
along with full particulars of the specific alleged Wrongful
Act, then any Claim subsequently made against an Insured
Person arising out of such circumstance will be deemed first
made during the Policy Period.
(H) MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR ACQUISITION
(1) If after the inception date, the Insured Organization creates
or acquires a Subsidiary, that Subsidiary will be deemed to
qualify as an Insured Organization but only for a Wrongful
Act on or after the effective date of such creation or
acquisition, for the first ninety (90) days after the date of
the creation or acquisition. After this ninety (90) day
period the created or acquired Subsidiary will no longer be
deemed an Insured Organization unless:
(a) written notice of the creation of acquisition is given
to the Insurer by the Insured Organization within sixty
(60) days of the date of the creation or acquisition.
Such written notice shall include: (i) a copy of the
most recent audited Financial Statements of the
Subsidiary; (ii) a copy of the creation or acquisition
documents; and (iii) a new completed Royal Directors
and Officers application giving full particulars of the
new subsidiary, which is acceptable to the Insurer;
(b) the Insured Organization provides the Insurer with any
additional information the Insurer may request;
(c) the Insured Organization agrees to the terms, conditions,
exclusions and additional premium charge as may be
required by the Insurer; and
(d) the Insurer, at its sole discretion, agrees in writing to
extend the coverage of the policy to the created or
acquired Subsidiary. If the information in (H) 1(a),
(b), and (c) is received within the sixty (60) day period
and the Insurer does not expressly accept or decline to
extend coverage within the initial ninety (90) day
period, then such ninety (90) day period will be extended
until the Insurer expressly accepts or declines such
extension of coverage.
(2) If after the inception date, the Insured Organization is
acquired by, merged with or consolidated into any entity such
that the Insured Organization is not the surviving entity,
then coverage under this policy shall cease immediately upon
the date of such acquisition, merger or consolidation. For
the purpose of Section 3. Definitions (G), the date of such
acquisition, merger or consolidation shall be deemed the
expiration date.
(I) SALE OR DISSOLUTION OF SUBSIDIARY
If, after the inception date, any Subsidiary is sold or dissolved,
this policy, subject to its terms, shall apply only to persons who
were Insured Persons prior to the sale or dissolution and only with
respect to Claims first made during the Policy Period or Discovery
Period for Wrongful Acts alleged to have been committed prior to
the date of sale or dissolution. No coverage will be afforded for
any person who becomes an Insured Person after the date of sale
or dissolution.
(J) REPRESENTATIONS
The Insured Organization, through its authorized representative,
represents that as of the inception date of this policy the
particulars and statements contained in the Application are
complete, true and correct and agree that (1) those particulars
and statements are the basis of this policy and are to be
considered as incorporated into and constituting a part of this
policy; (2) those particulars and statements are material to the
acceptance of the risk assumed by the Insurer; and (3) this policy
is issued in reliance upon the truthfulness and completeness of
such representations. Except for material facts or circumstances
known to the person or persons who signed the Application, no
statement in the Application or knowledge or information possessed
by an Insured Person will be imputed to any other Insured Person
for the purpose of determining the availability of coverage.
(K) NO ACTION AGAINST THE INSURER
(1) No action may be taken against the Insurer unless, as a
condition precedent thereto, there has been full compliance
with all of the terms of this policy and until the amount
of the Insured Person's obligation to pay Loss has been
finally determined either by judgment against the Insured
Persons after adjudicatory proceedings, or by written
agreement of the Insured Persons, the claimant and the
Insurer.
(2) No Insured Person or Insured Organization has any right
under this policy to join the Insurer as a party to any
Claim against an Insured Person to determine the liability
of such Insured Persons; nor shall the Insurer be impleaded
by an Insured Person or his, her or its legal representative
in any such Claim.
(L) AUTHORIZATION AND NOTICES
The Insured Persons agree that the Insured Organization acts on
their behalf with respect to giving and receiving all notices and
return of premium from the Insurer.
(M) CHANGES
Notice to any agent or knowledge possessed by any agent or
representations by persons acting on behalf of the Insurer does
not effect a waiver or change in any part of this policy or estop
the Insurer from asserting any right under the terms, conditions
and limititations of this policy. The terms, conditions and
limitations of this policy can only be waived or changed by
written endorsement.
(N) ASSIGNMENT
Assignment of interest under this policy does not bind the Insurer
without its written consent.
(O) CANCELLATION
This policy may be canceled by the Insured Organization at any time
by written notice or by surrender of this policy at any time to
Royal Specialty Underwriting, Inc. at the address shown in the
Declarations Page.

Insured Organization or by mailing to the Insured Organization
by registered, certified or other first class mail, to the address
shown in this policy, written notice stating when, not less than
sixty (60) days thereafter, the cancellation will become effective.
The mailing of such notice will be sufficient proof of notice and
this policy will terminate at the date and hour specified in the
notice.
If this policy is canceled by the Insured Organization, the Insurer
will retain the customary short rate proportion of the premium
hereon.
If this policy is canceled by the Insurer, the Insurer will retain
the pro rata proportion of the premium hereon. Payment or tender
of any unearned premium by the Insurer is not a condition precedent
to the effectiveness of cancellation but such payment will be made
as soon as practicable after the cancellation date is effective.
If the period of limitation relating to the giving of notice is
prohibited or made void by any law controlling the construction
thereof, such period will be deemed to be amended so as to be
equal to the minimum period of limitation permitted by such law.
If the Insured Organization fails to pay any premium when due, the
Insurer may cancel the policy upon ten (10) days written notice.
The Insurer shall not be required to renew this policy upon its
expiration.
(P) EXHAUSTION
When the limit of liability is exhausted by the indemnification
for Loss, including Defense Expenses, all obligations of the
Insurer under this policy will be fulfilled and extinguished, and
the Insurer will have no further obligations of any kind or nature
whatsoever under this policy.
(Q) ACCEPTANCE
The Insured Organization and Insured Persons agree that this
policy, including the Application and any endorsements, constitute
the entire agreement between them and the Insurer relating to this
insurance policy.
(R) HEADINGS
The description in the headings and sub-headings of the policy
are solely for convenience, and form no part of the terms and
conditions of coverage.
(S) GOVERNING LAW CLAUSE

construed in accordance with the laws of the state or jurisdiction
of incorporation or organization of the Insured Organization or in
the case of matters pertaining to a Subsidiary, the laws of the
state or jurisdiction of incorporation or organization thereof.
In Witness Whereof, the Insurer has caused this policy to be executed and
attested, but this policy shall not be valid unless countersigned on the
Declarations Page by a duly authorized agent of the Insurer.
