H. | Notary Services Exclusion The Insurer shall not be liable to make any payment for

Page 10 of 19
A. | LIMIT OF LIABILITY |
(1) | The Insurers maximum Limit of Liability under this Policy for all Insuring
Agreements combined shall not exceed the Total Policy Limit set forth in Item 3 of the
Declarations regardless of whether such Insuring Agreement is provided as a sublimit or
a separate limit. |
(2) | Unless otherwise specified in Item 7 of the Declarations, the Insurers maximum
Limit of Liability for each Insuring Agreement for all Loss resulting from all Claims
first made for each Policy Year during the Policy Period shall be a part of and not in
addition to the D&O Limit of Liability set forth in Item 8 of the Declarations. |
(3) | If a Claim against the Company is subject to more than one Insuring Agreement,
the Insurers maximum Limit of Liability for such Claim shall not exceed the highest
Limit of Liability provided by any Insuring Agreement providing coverage to the Company;
provided, however, that this provision shall not apply where a separate Limit of
Liability is set forth in Item 7 of the Declarations. |
(4) | The Insurer agrees to provide, without additional charge, a one-time
reinstatement of the Limit of Liability under Insuring Agreement (C) to the extent such
Limit of Liability is diminished by paid Loss resulting from IRA/Keogh Claims pursuant
to Section IV(X)(2). Should an IRA/Keogh Liability Claim exhaust the Limit of Liability
under Insuring Agreement (C), the Limit of Liability shall only be reinstated for
subsequent Claims. This reinstatement shall not serve to increase the Limit of
Liability for any single Claim. |
B. | RETENTION AND INDEMNIFICATION |
(1) | The Insurer shall only pay for covered Loss, including covered Defense Costs, in
excess of the applicable retention for each Claim as set forth in Item 9 of the
Declarations. No retention shall apply to Loss incurred by the Insured Persons for which
the Company is: |
(a) | not permitted or required by law to advance Defense Costs or
indemnify the Insured Persons; or |
(b) | permitted or required to advance Defense Costs or indemnify the
Insured Persons but does not do so by reason of Financial Impairment. |
(2) | If the Company is legally permitted or required to advance Defense Costs or
indemnify the Insured Persons for Loss, regardless of whether actual indemnification or
advancement is granted, the retention applicable to Insuring Agreement (B) shall apply
to such Loss, unless the Company, solely by reason of its Financial Impairment, does not
make indemnification or advancement. |
(3) | One retention shall apply to covered Loss resulting from each Claim. If Loss
from a Claim is covered under more than one Insuring Agreement, the applicable retention
shall be applied separately to the part of the Loss covered by each Insuring Agreement,
and the sum of such retentions shall be the retention applicable to the Claim. If a
single retention applies to multiple Insureds, the retention shall be prorated among the
applicable Insureds. The total retention shall in no event exceed the largest of such
applicable retentions set forth in Item 9 of the Declarations. |
Page 11 of 19
(4) | Except for the payment of Defense Costs, the Insurer shall pay or reimburse
one hundred percent (100%) of covered Loss, in excess of the applicable retention,
upon final disposition of the Claim. |
C. | SINGLE CLAIM |
A. | NON-EROSION OF INSURING AGREEMENT (A) |
(1) | If the Limit of Liability for Insuring Agreement (C) or any Insuring Agreement
extending coverage to the Company is a sublimit of the D&O Policy, the Limit of
Liability applicable to Insuring Agreement (A) shall not be reduced by the payment of
Loss resulting from Claims covered by such Insuring Agreement. If a separate Limit of
Liability is set forth in Item 7 of the Declarations this provision shall not apply. |
(2) | If the retention applicable to Insuring Agreement (B) applies to Loss pursuant to
Section VII (B)(2), regardless of whether actual indemnification is granted, such Loss
shall be deemed to be paid under Insuring Agreement (B). |
B. | ORDER OF PAYMENTS |
(1) | In the event one or more Claims result in a potential or actual Loss which, in
aggregate, in the Insurers judgment could reasonably exceed the Total Policy Limit set
forth in Item 3 of the Declarations, then the Insurer shall pay first for such Loss for
which coverage is provided under Insuring Agreement (A). |
(2) | With respect to whatever remaining amount of the Limit of Liability is available
after payment of such Loss, the Insurer shall pay such Loss for which coverage is
provided under Insuring Agreement (B), then pay such Loss for which coverage is provided
to the Company under Insuring Agreement (C) or any Insuring Agreement extending coverage
to the Company. |
(3) | The Financial Impairment of the Company or any Insured Person shall not relieve
the Insurer of any of its obligations to prioritize payment of covered Loss under this
Policy pursuant to this Subsection. |
Page 12 of 19
A. | NO DUTY TO DEFEND |
(1) | Amounts incurred as Defense Costs will reduce and shall be part of and not in
addition to the applicable Limit of Liability. It shall be the duty of the Insured and
not the duty of the Insurer to defend Claims. The Insured shall only retain counsel
that is mutually agreed upon with the Insurer, consent for which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. |
(2) | The Insured shall not incur Defense Costs, admit liability for, settle, or
offer to settle any Claim without the Insurers prior written consent, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld. The Insurer shall be entitled to full information and all
particulars it may request in order to reach a decision as to such consent. |
(3) | The Insurer shall have the right but not the duty to effectively associate with
the Insured in the settlement and defense of any Claim that appears reasonably likely
to involve the Insurer. Such association shall include, but not be limited to,
participation in the formation of litigation strategy, review of pleadings and other
pertinent papers prior to filing, and participation in the settlement negotiations. |
B. | ADVANCEMENT OF DEFENSE COSTS |
(1) | Subject to Section XIV, the Insurer, if requested by the Insured, shall advance
covered Defense Costs on a current basis, except when advancement of Defense Costs is
prohibited by law or regulation. The Insured shall repay any advanced Defense Costs to
the Insurer in the event it is established that the Insurer has no liability under this
Policy for such Defense Costs. |
(2) | Prior to advancing or indemnifying Defense Costs, the Insurer shall be entitled
to sufficient information and documentation as to the amount and purpose of any Defense
Costs to enable it to evaluate the reasonableness and necessity of such Defense Costs
and to verify that such Defense Costs were actually incurred. |
A. | The Insured, as a condition precedent to any rights under this Policy, shall give the Insurer
written notice, as soon as practicable, of any Claim first made during the Policy Period or
the Discovery Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Claim is first
made. |
B. | If during the Policy Period, the Insured first becomes aware of circumstances which may give
rise to a Claim, and gives written notice to the Insurer of the circumstances and reasons for
anticipating a Claim, then any Claim subsequently made shall be deemed to have been first made
during the Policy Year in which notice was first given to the Insurer. As a condition
precedent to any coverage hereunder for such Claims, such notice must be specific and contain
full particulars as to the names, dates, and persons involved in the underlying facts
potentially giving rise to the Claim, as well as the identity of the potential plaintiffs and
the causes of action to be asserted. |
Page 13 of 19
C. | All notices required to be given to the Insurer under this Policy shall be given to the
Insurer at the address set forth in Item 5 of the Declarations. |
A. | If during the Policy Period, the Company: |
(1) | acquires, merges with or creates any non-bank entity; |
(2) | acquires or merges with another entity or creates or acquires a Subsidiary, whose
assets equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Companys total assets at the
time of the transaction; |
(3) | creates or acquires a financial services holding company or converts from a bank
holding company to a financial services holding company; |
||
(4) | converts from a mutual company to a stock company; or |
||
(5) | changes or converts its corporate structure from a C corporation to an S corporation; |
(a) | the Company providing written notice and any requested information regarding the
transaction to the Insurer as soon as practicable; |
||
(b) | the Insurer, at its sole discretion, agreeing in writing to provide such coverage; and |
(c) | the Company accepting any special terms, conditions and/or Exclusions and paying
any additional premium required by the Insurer. |
B. | If during the Policy Period, the Company creates or acquires a bank or bank Subsidiary, whose
assets are less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Companys total assets at the time of
the transaction, the Insurer agrees to provide automatic coverage for such bank, bank
Subsidiary and its Insured Persons for the remainder of the Policy Period. |
C. | Any coverage otherwise afforded under this Policy for a Loss in any way involving the
Company, any Subsidiary, or any acquired, merged or created entity or its Insured Persons
shall not apply to any Claim arising out of or directly or indirectly resulting from: |
(1) | any Wrongful Act or any fact, circumstance or situation committed or
allegedly committed prior to the effective date of such acquisition, merger or
creation; or |
Page 14 of 19
(2) | any other Wrongful Act, which, together with a Wrongful Act committed or allegedly
committed prior to effective date of such acquisition, merger or creation constitute
Interrelated Wrongful Acts. |
A. | NAMED INSURED CANCELLATION |
B. | INSURER CANCELLATION OR NONRENEWAL |
(1) | The Insurer shall not be required to renew this Policy or any Insuring Agreement
upon expiration of the Policy Period. This Policy or any Insuring Agreement may be
cancelled or nonrenewed by the Insurer by giving to the Named Insured written notice
stating when such action shall become effective and the reason(s) therefore. Notice
will be mailed to the Named Insured by certified mail at the address set forth in Item 1
of the Declarations. 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. The Insurer shall provide not less than: |
(a) | twenty (20) days notice of its intent to cancel for nonpayment of premium; or |
||
(b) | sixty (60) days notice of its intent to cancel or nonrenew for any other reason. |
(2) | If the Insurer cancels this Policy or any Insuring Agreement, the Insurer shall
return one hundred percent (100%) of the unearned premium. The return of any unearned
premium by the Insurer shall not be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of
cancellation, but such payment shall be made as soon as practicable. |
C. | CONVERSION |
(1) | Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, this Policy shall continue
in full force and effect with respect to Claims for Wrongful Acts committed or
allegedly committed before such event, but coverage shall cease with respect to Claims
for such Wrongful Acts committed or allegedly committed after such event: |
(a) | Financial Impairment of the Company or any Subsidiary comprising
more than fifty percent (50%) of the Companys total assets; |
(b) | acquisition of the Company by another entity or the merger or
consolidation of the Company into another entity such that the Company is not the
surviving entity or acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Company
by another entity; or |
||
(c) | the Company ceasing to engage actively in its primary business. |
Page 15 of 19
(2) | Pursuant to Subsection (C)(1) above, this Policy may not be cancelled and the
entire premium shall be deemed fully earned. The occurrence of any of the foregoing
events shall not affect the Insureds right to purchase the Discovery Period pursuant
to Section III. |
(3) | In the event of Financial Impairment of a Subsidiary comprising less than fifty
percent (50%) of the Companys total assets, this conversion provision shall apply only
to the Subsidiary and its Insured Persons and the Policy shall continue in full force
with respect to all other Insureds. |
A. | ALLOCATION |
(1) | If in any Claim the Insureds are jointly and severally liable with others
(including the Company even if no coverage is extended for such Claim against the
Company) for Loss, then: |
(a) | 100% of all Loss, other than Defense Costs, incurred jointly by the
Insured Persons and the Company shall be treated as Loss incurred solely by the
Insured Persons; and |
(b) | all other Loss shall be allocated between the Insured Persons and
others based on the relative legal exposures of the parties to such Claims. |
(2) | If in any Claim the Insureds incur an amount consisting of both covered and
uncovered Loss because the Claim includes both covered and uncovered matters, then the
amount shall be allocated between covered Loss and uncovered loss based on the relative
legal exposures of the Insureds to the covered and uncovered matters. |
B. | ARBITRATION |
(1) | The Insurer and the Insured agree to use their best efforts to reach a proper
allocation of Defense Costs. If the Insured and the Insurer cannot agree on an
allocation: |
(a) | no presumption as to allocation shall exist in any arbitration, suit or other
proceeding; |
(b) | the Insurer shall advance on a current basis Defense Costs which
the Insurer believes to be covered under this Policy until a different allocation
is negotiated, arbitrated or judicially determined; and |
(c) | the Insurer, if requested by the Insured, shall submit the
allocation dispute to binding arbitration. The rules of the American
Arbitration Association shall apply except with respect to the selection of the
arbitration panel. The arbitration panel shall consist of one arbitrator
selected by the Insured, one arbitrator selected by the Insurer, and a third
independent arbitrator selected by the first two arbitrators. In any such
arbitration, each party will bear its own legal fees and expenses. |
(2) | Any negotiated, arbitrated or judicially determined allocation of Defense Costs
will be applied retroactively to all Defense Costs, notwithstanding any prior
advancement to the contrary. Any allocation or advancement of Defense Costs shall not
apply to or create any presumption with respect to the allocation of other Loss arising
from such Claim or any other Claim. |

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 in Control. In

|
B. | the entire premium for the Extended Reporting Period, if purchased, shall be deemed to have
been fully earned at the commencement of such Extended Reporting Period; |
|
C. | Section VII. does not apply and may not be invoked during the Extended Reporting Period; and |
|
D. | the right to elect the Extended Reporting Period under this Section X. shall 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 effective date of the nonrenewal or
cancellation. |
A. | Insured Persons Duties. It is a condition
precedent to all insurance afforded by this Policy

identity of each person allegedly involved in or affected by such Wrongful Act, and the
date(s) of the alleged events, shall be provided to the Company as soon as practicable; |
||
2. | all notices under this Section XII. A. must be sent by certified mail or prepaid
overnight mail to the address set forth in Item 7. of the Declarations; |

Person(s) because of an act or omission insured under this Policy, shall attend hearings
and trials and assist in securing and giving evidence and obtaining the attendance of
witnesses. The Insured Person(s) shall provide the Company with all information,
assistance and cooperation that it reasonably requests. The Insured Person(s) shall not
voluntarily settle any claim, make a settlement offer, assume or admit any liability nor,
except at the Insured Persons own cost, voluntarily make any payment, pay or incur any
Defense Expenses, or assume any obligation or incur any other expense, without the
Companys prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company
shall not be liable for any settlement, Defense Expenses, assumed obligation or admission
to which it has not consented; and |
||
4. | the obligations of the Insured Person(s) under this Section XII. A. will survive the Policy. |
B. | Action Against the Company. No action shall lie against the Company unless, as a condition
precedent thereto, there shall have been full compliance with all of the terms of this Policy,
nor until the amount of the Insured Persons obligation to pay shall have been finally
determined either by judgment against the Insured Person after actual trial or by written
agreement of the Insured Person, the claimant and the Company. |

C. | Subrogation. In
the event of payment under this Policy the Company shall be subrogated to
all of the Insured Persons rights of recovery against any person or organization, including
without limitation for indemnification by the Organization and any Outside Entity, to the extent
of such payment. The Insured Persons will execute all papers and do everything necessary to
secure such rights, including the execution of any documents necessary to enable the Company
effectively to bring suit in his or her name, including without limitation an action against the
Organization or any Outside Entity for nonpayment of indemnity due and owing to the Insured
Person. The Insured Persons shall do nothing that may prejudice its position or potential or
actual rights of recovery. The obligations of the Insured Persons under this subsection XII.C.
will survive the Policy. |
D. | Changes. Notice to any agent or knowledge possessed by any agent or by any other person
shall not effect a waiver or a change in any part of the Policy, or estop the Company from
asserting any right under the terms, conditions and limitations of this Policy, nor may
the terms, conditions and limitations of this Policy be waived or changed, except by a written
endorsement issued by the Company to form a part of this Policy. |
E. | Assignment. Assignment of interest under this Policy shall not bind the Company until its
consent is endorsed hereon. |
F. | Representations. The Insured Person(s) represents that the particulars and
statements contained in the Application are true, accurate and complete, and agree that
this Policy is issued in reliance on the truth of that representation, and that such
particulars and statements, which are incorporated into and constitute a part of this Policy,
are the basis of this Policy and are material to the Companys acceptance of this risk. No
knowledge or information possessed by any Insured Person shall be imputed to any other Insured
Person to determine whether coverage shall be available. |
G. | Authorization. By acceptance of this Policy, the Insured Person scheduled in Item 8. of the
Declarations agrees to act on behalf of all Insured Persons with respect to the payment of
premiums, the receiving of any return premiums that may become due under the Policy, and the
receiving of notices of cancellation, non-renewal, or change of coverages and the Insured
Persons each agree that they have, individually and collectively, delegated such authority
exclusively to the Insured Person scheduled in Item 8. of the Declarations; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall relieve any Insured Person, from giving any notice to the Company
that is required under Section XII.A. of this Policy. |
H. | Entire Agreement. The Insured Persons agree that this Policy, including the Application,
including any materials submitted in connection therewith, and any endorsements, constitutes
the entire agreement between them and the Company or any of its agents relating to this
insurance. |
I. | Headings. The descriptions in the headings and sub-headings of this Policy are solely for
convenience, and form no part of the terms and conditions of coverage. |

For purposes of the Policy, amounts which such spouse becomes legally obligated to pay by reason of such Claim will be treated as Loss which the Insured Person is legally obligated to pay on account of the Claim made against the Insured Person. This coverage extension does not apply, however, to the extent the Claim alleges any wrongful act or omission by the Insured Persons spouse. |

(4) | The Insurer will be liable only for the amount of Loss in connection with any Claim, which is in excess of the applicable retention stated in Item 4 of the Declarations. Such retention is to be borne by the Insureds and remain uninsured. A single retention will apply to Loss arising from all Claims alleging the same Wrongful Act or related Wrongful Acts. |
(5) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Securities Claims the retentions stated in Items 4(b) and 4(c) of the Declarations will apply only to Defense Costs; provided, that if a Securities Claim is finally resolved by a determination of No Liability, no retention will apply to such Securities Claim even as respects Defense Costs and the Insurer will thereupon reimburse Defense Costs within the retention which shall already have been paid by the Insureds. |
(6) | One retention amount will apply to the covered portion of each and every single Claim.If a single Claim is covered under more than one INSURING AGREEMENT, the retentions stated in Item 4 of the Declarations will be applied separately to the portions of the Claim covered by each INSURING AGREEMENT, and the sum of the retentions so applied will constitute the retention for each single Claim, which in total will not exceed the largest of the applicable retentions. |

(B) | Notice of Claims and Reporting Provisions |
(1) | The Insureds must, as a condition precedent to the obligations of the Insurer under this Policy, give written notice, including full details, to the Insurer of any Claim as soon as practicable after it is made. |
(2) | If written notice of a Claim has been given to the Insurer pursuant to CONDITION (B)(1) above, then any Claim subsequently made against the Insureds and reported to the Insurer alleging, arising out of, based upon or attributable to the facts alleged in the Claim of which such notice has been given, or alleging any Wrongful Act which is the same as or related to any Wrongful Act alleged in the Claim of which such notice has been given, will be considered to have been made at the time such notice was given. |
(3) | If, during the Policy Period or the Discovery Period (if applicable), the Insureds become aware of any circumstances which may reasonably be expected to give rise to a Claim against the Insureds and if, before the end of the Policy Period or the Discovery Period (if applicable), the Insureds give written notice to the Insurer of the circumstances and the reasons for anticipating such a Claim, with full particulars as to dates, persons and entities involved, potential claimants and the consequences which have resulted or may result from such Wrongful Act, then any Claim subsequently made against the Insureds and reported to the Insurer alleging, arising out of, based upon or attributable to such circumstances or alleging any Wrongful Act which is the same as or related to any Wrongful Act described in such notice will be considered to have been made at the time such notice of circumstances was given. |
(4) | All notices under this CONDITION (B) must refer to the Policy Number, must be in writing, must request coverage under this Policy, and must be given by certified mail or prepaid express courier to the address set forth in Item 6 of the Declarations. |
(C) | Interrelationship of Claims |
(D) | Defense Costs, Settlements, Allocation of Loss, Priority of Payments |
(1) | The Insurer will have no duty under this Policy to defend any Claim. The Insureds must defend any Claim made against them. The Insureds may not admit or assume any liability, enter into any settlement agreement, stipulate to any judgment, or incur any Defense Costs without the Insurers prior written consent. Only those settlements, stipulated judgments and Defense Costs to which the Insurer has consented will be recoverable as Loss under this Policy. The Insurers consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that the Insurer will be entitled to effectively associate in the defense and the negotiation of any settlement of any Claim. |
(2) | The Insurer will pay covered Defense Costs on an as-incurred basis. If it is finally determined that any Defense Costs paid by the Insurer are not covered under this Policy, the Insureds agree to repay such non-covered Defense Costs to the Insurer. |

(3) | If Loss covered by this Policy and loss not covered by this Policy are both incurred in connection with a single Claim, either because the Claim includes both covered and uncovered matters, or because the Claim is made both against Insured Persons (or, with respect only to Securities Claims, against Insureds) and against others not included within the definition of Insured Person (or, with respect only to Securities Claims, the definition of Insured), the Insureds and the Insurer agree to use their best efforts to determine a fair and proper allocation of all such amounts, taking into account the relative legal and financial exposures of the parties to the Claim and the relative benefits to be obtained by the resolution of the Claim. The Insurer will be obligated to pay only those amounts or portions of Loss allocated to covered matters claimed against Insured Persons (or, with respect only to Securities Claims, against Insureds). If the Insureds and the Insurer are unable to agree upon an allocation, then until a final allocation is agreed upon or determined pursuant to the provisions of this Policy and applicable law, the Insurer will be obligated to make an interim payment of that amount or portion of Loss, including Defense Costs, which the parties agree is not in dispute. |
(4) | If the Insurer is obligated to pay Loss, including Defense Costs, under more than one INSURING AGREEMENT, whether in connection with a single Claim or multiple Claims, the Insurer will first pay any Loss payable under INSURING AGREEMENT (A) and, if the Insurer concludes that the amount of all Loss, including Defense Costs, is likely to exceed the Insurers Limit of Liability, the Insurer shall be entitled to withhold some or all of any Loss payable under INSURING AGREEMENT (B)(1) or (B)(2) to ensure that as much of the Limit of Liability as possible is available for the payment of Loss under INSURING AGREEMENT (A). If no Loss is payable under INSURING AGREEMENT (A), or if the Insurers obligations under INSURING AGREEMENT (A) have been satisfied, then, subject to the Insurers Limit of Liability as set forth in Item 3 of the Declarations, the Insurer will pay such Loss as it is required to pay under INSURING AGREEMENT (B)(1) or (B)(2) in such manner and, in the event of multiple Claims, apportioned among such Claims as the Named Corporation shall direct in writing. |
(E) | Cancellation or Nonrenewal |
(1) | The Insurer may cancel this Policy for non-payment of premium by sending not less than ten (10) days notice to the Named Corporation at its last known address. The Insurer may not otherwise cancel this Policy. |
(2) | The Named Corporation may cancel this Policy by mailing the Insurer written notice stating when such cancellation will be effective; provided, that the Named Corporation may not cancel this Policy after the effective date of any acquisition of the Named Corporation as described in CONDITION (F) below. If the Named Corporation cancels this Policy, the Insurer will retain the customary short rate premium. Premium adjustment may be made either at the time cancellation is effective or as soon as practicable after cancellation becomes effective, but payment of unearned premium is not a condition of cancellation. |
(3) | If the Insurer elects not to renew this Policy, the Insurer must give the Named Corporation notice of non-renewal no less than sixty (60) days before the end of the Policy Period. |
(4) | 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. |

(b) | another entity, person or group of entities and/or persons acting in concert acquires securities or voting rights which result in ownership or voting control by the other entity(ies) or person(s) of more than 50% of the outstanding securities representing the present right to vote for the election of directors of the Named Corporation, or |
(c) | a trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, conservator, rehabilitator, liquidator or other similar official is duly appointed with respect to the Named Corporation; |
(2) | If, during the Policy Period, any of the following transactions or events (each a Change in Control) occurs with respect to a Subsidiary: |
(a) | the Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary, or | ||
(b) | a trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, conservator, rehabilitator, liquidator or other similar official is duly appointed with respect to the Subsidiary; |
(G) | Other Insurance and Other Indemnification |
(1) | Such insurance as is provided by this Policy will apply only as excess over and will not contribute with any other valid and collectible insurance. |
(2) | All coverage for Loss from Claims against Insured Persons for Wrongful Acts in their Outside Capacities will be specifically excess of, and will not contribute with, |
(a) | any other insurance available to such Insured Persons by reason of their service in Outside Capacities, and |
(b) | any indemnification available to such Insured Persons in connection with their service in Outside Capacities from any source other than the Company, including but not limited to Outside Entities. |
(H) | Cooperation and Subrogation |
(1) | In the event of any notice under CONDITION (B) of a Claim or of circumstances which may reasonably be expected to give rise to a Claim, the Insureds will give the Insurer all information, assistance and cooperation that the Insurer may reasonably request with respect thereto. |
(2) | In the event of any payment under this Policy, the Insurer will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the Insureds rights of recovery, including without limitation the Insured Persons rights to indemnification or advancement from the Company. The Insureds must execute all papers required and do everything necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Insurer to bring suit in their name. |
