Allocation



17.	(a)	If in any Securities Claim the Insureds incur both Loss that is covered under this coverage section and loss that is not covered under this coverage section, the Insureds and the Company shall allocate such amount between covered Loss and non-covered loss as follows:

		(i)	The portion, if any, of such amount that is in part covered and in part not covered under Insuring Clause 2 shall be allocated in its entirety to covered Loss, subject, however, to the applicable Retention and Coinsurance Percentage set forth in Items 4(C) and 3(A) of the Declarations for this coverage section, respectively; and

		(ii)	The portion, if any, of such amount that is in part covered and in part not covered under Insuring Clause 1 or 3 shall be allocated between covered Loss and non-covered loss based on the relative legal and financial exposures of the Insureds to covered and non-covered matters and, in the event of a settlement in such Securities Claim, based also on the relative benefits to the Insureds from settlement of the covered matters and from settlement of the non-covered matters; provided that the amount so allocated to covered Loss under Insuring Clause 3 shall be subject to the Retention and Coinsurance Percentage set forth in Items 4(C) and 3(A) of the Declarations for this coverage section, respectively.

The Company shall not be liable under this coverage section for the portion of such amount allocated to non-covered loss. The allocation described in (i) above shall be final and binding on the Company and the Insureds under Insuring Clause 2, but shall not apply to any allocation under Insuring Clauses 1 and 3.

(b)

If in any Claim other than a Securities Claim the Insured Persons incur both Loss that is covered under this coverage section and loss that is not covered under this coverage section, either because such Claim includes both covered and non-covered matters or because such Claim is made against both Insured Persons and others (including the Organization), the Insureds and the Company shall allocate such amount between covered Loss and non-covered loss based on the relative legal and financial exposures of the parties to covered and non-covered matters and, in the event of a settlement in such Claim, based also on the relative benefits to the parties from such settlement. The Company shall not be liable under this coverage section for the portion of such amount allocated to non-covered loss.

(c)

If the Insureds and the Company agree on an allocation of Defense Costs, the Company shall advance on a current basis Defense Costs allocated to the covered Loss. If the Insureds and the Company cannot agree on an allocation:

(i)

no presumption as to allocation shall exist in any arbitration, suit or other proceeding;

(ii)

the Company shall advance on a current basis Defense Costs which the Company believes to be covered under this coverage section until a different allocation is negotiated, arbitrated or judicially determined; and

(iii)

the Company, if requested by the Insureds, shall submit the dispute to binding arbitration. The rules of the American Arbitration Association shall apply except with respect to the selection of the arbitration panel, which shall consist of one arbitrator selected by the Insureds, one arbitrator selected by the Company, and a third independent arbitrator selected by the first two arbitrators.

(d)

Any negotiated, arbitrated or judicially determined allocation of Defense Costs on account of a Claim shall be applied retroactively to all Defense Costs on account of. such Claim, notwithstanding any prior advancement to the contrary. Any allocation or advancement of Defense Costs on account of a Claim shall not apply to or create any presumption with respect to the allocation of other Loss on account of such Claim.

Other Insurance

18.

Payment of Loss

19.

In the event payment of Loss is due under this coverage section but the amount of such Loss in the aggregate exceeds the remaining available Limit of Liability for this coverage section, the Company shall:

(a)

first pay such Loss for which coverage is provided under Insuring Clause 1 of this coverage section; then

(b)

to the extent of any remaining amount of the Limit of Liability available after payment under (a) above, pay such Loss for which coverage is provided under any other Insuring Clause of this coverage section.

the Parent Organization merges into or consolidates with another organization and the Parent Organization is not the surviving entity; or

(b)

another organization or person or group of organizations and/or persons acting in concert acquires securities or voting rights which result in ownership or voting control by the other organization(s) or person(s) of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding securities or voting rights representing the present right to vote for the election of or to appoint directors or Managers of the Parent Organization,

coverage under this coverage section shall continue until termination of this coverage section, but only with respect to Claims for Wrongful Acts committed, attempted, or allegedly committed or attempted by Insureds before such merger, consolidation or acquisition.

The Parent Organization shall give written notice of such merger, consolidation or acquisition to the Company as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of such merger, consolidation or acquisition, together with such other information as the Company may require. Upon receipt of such notice and information and at the request of the Parent Organization, the Company shall provide to the Parent Organization a quotation for an extension of coverage (for such period as may be negotiated between the Company and the Parent Organization) with respect to Claims for Wrongful Acts committed, attempted, or allegedly committed or attempted by Insureds before such merger, consolidation or acquisition. Any coverage extension pursuant to such quotation shall be subject to such additional or different terms, conditions and limitations of coverage, and payment of such additional premium, as the Company in its sole discretion may require.

Cessation of Subsidiary

22.

In the event an organization ceases to be a Subsidiary before or during the Policy Period, coverage with respect to such Subsidiary and its Insured Persons shall continue until termination of this coverage section, but only with respect to Claims for Wrongful Acts committed, attempted, or allegedly committed or attempted while such organization was a Subsidiary.
