(1)

Cause you to sustain such loss; or

(2)

(1)

Cause you to sustain such loss; and

(2)

Obtain an improper financial benefit for the “employee” and which is received by the “employee”. However, if the “employee” failed to receive such improper financial benefit, such loss will nevertheless be covered under this Paragraph 1.b. if you establish that:

(1)

Cause you to sustain such loss; and

(2)

Obtain an improper financial benefit for the “employee” or another person or entity.

We will pay for loss or damage resulting directly from vandalism or malicious mischief caused by an “employee” when such vandalism or malicious mischief results in loss of or damage to “electronic data”, books of account or other written or electronic records or “computer programs”.

Limit Of Insurance

Upon exhaustion of the Policy Aggregate Limit of Insurance by such payments:

We shall have no further liability for loss or losses, regardless of when “discovered” and whether or not previously reported to us; and

We shall have no obligation under Condition 8.c. to continue your defense, and upon our notice to you that the Policy Aggregate Limit of Insurance has been exhausted, you shall assume all responsibility for your defense at your own cost.

The Policy Aggregate Limit of Insurance shall be reinstated by any recovery net of the expense of such recovery received by us during the Policy Period and before the Policy Aggregate Limit of Insurance is exhausted. Recovery from reinsurance and/or indemnity of ours shall not be deemed to be a recovery. In the event that a loss of “property” is settled by us through the use of a lost instrument bond, such loss shall not reduce the Policy Aggregate Limit of Insurance, unless a payment under such lost instrument bond is made and then only for the amount of that payment.

Single Loss Limit Of Insurance

Subject to the Policy Aggregate Limit of Insurance in Paragraph B.1., the most we will pay for each “single loss” is the applicable Single Loss Limit Of Insurance shown in the Declarations.

If a “single loss” is covered under more than one Insuring Agreement or coverage, the most we will pay for such loss shall not exceed the largest amount available under any one of those Insuring Agreements or coverages.

However, Paragraph 2.b. shall not apply to expenses covered under Insuring Agreement 10.

Single Loss Deductible

Except as provided in Paragraph C.2., we will only pay the amount by which any “single loss” exceeds the applicable Single Loss Deductible Amount shown in the Declarations. We will then pay the amount of loss in excess of the Single Loss Deductible Amount, up to the Single Loss Limit of Insurance, subject to the Policy Aggregate Limit of Insurance.

If loss caused by a “partner” is covered under Insuring Agreement 1., we will increase the Single Loss Deductible Amount applicable to Insuring Agreement 1. by the “partner’s” “financial interest”. We will then pay the amount of loss in excess of the Single Loss Deductible Amount, up to the Insuring Agreement 1. Single Loss Limit of Insurance, subject to the Policy Aggregate Limit of Insurance.

Representations

You represent that all information and statements contained in the application for this policy are true, accurate and complete. All such information and statements are the basis for our issuing this policy and shall be considered as incorporated into and shall constitute a part of this policy.

Any intentional:

(1)

Misrepresentation;

(2)

Omission;

(3)

Concealment; or

(4)

Misstatement of a material fact;

in the application or otherwise, shall be grounds for the rescission of this policy.

That you own or lease;

FI 00 12 01 12

Page 8 of 19

That is held by you in any capacity; or

For which you are legally liable, provided you were liable for the “property” prior to the time that the covered loss was sustained.

However, this policy is for your benefit only. It provides no rights or benefits to any other person or organization. Any claim for loss covered under this policy must be presented by you.

Additional Offices, Premises Or Employees

If, while this policy is in force, you establish any additional offices or premises or hire additional “employees”, other than through consolidation or merger with, or purchase or acquisition of assets or liabilities of, another institution, such offices, premises or “employees” shall automatically be covered under this policy. Notice to us of an increase in the number of offices, premises or “employees” is not required, and no additional premium will be charged for the remainder of the Policy Period.

Consolidation — Merger Or Acquisition

Except as provided in Paragraph 5.b., if you consolidate or merge with, or purchase or acquire the assets or liabilities of, another institution:

(1)

You shall notify us in writing as soon as practicable and obtain our written consent to extend the coverage provided by this policy to such consolidated or merged institution or such purchased or acquired assets or liabilities. We may condition our consent by requiring payment of an additional premium; but

(2)

For the first 90 days after the effective date of such consolidation, merger or purchase or acquisition of assets or liabilities, the coverage provided by this policy shall apply to such consolidated or merged institution or such purchased or acquired assets or liabilities, provided that all “occurrences” causing or contributing to a loss involving such consolidation, merger or purchase or acquisition of assets or liabilities must take place after the effective date of such consolidation, merger or purchase or acquisition of assets or liabilities.

For institutions you acquire in which you own greater than 50% of the voting stock or voting rights, coverage under this policy shall automatically become effective on the date of such acquisition with no additional premium required, provided:

(1)

All “occurrences” causing or contributing to a loss involving the acquired institution must take place after the effective date of such acquisition; and

(2)

The assets of the acquired institution do not exceed 10% of your total assets as reflected in your most recent calendar quarter consolidated financial statements immediately preceding the effective date of this policy.

Joint Insured

If more than one Insured is named in the Declarations, the first Named Insured shall act for itself and for every other Insured for all purposes of this policy.

Knowledge possessed or “discovery” made by a “designated person” of any Insured shall constitute knowledge or “discovery” by all Insureds for all purposes of this policy.

An “employee” of any Insured is considered to be an “employee” of every Insured.

We will not pay more for loss or losses sustained by more than one Insured than the amount we would pay if all such loss or losses had been sustained by one Insured.

Payment by us to the first Named Insured for loss sustained by any Insured, or payment by us to any “employee benefit plan” for loss sustained by such Plan, shall fully release us on account of such loss.

Change In Control Or Ownership — Notice To Us

When you learn of a change in control, you shall notify us in writing as soon as practicable, but not to exceed 60 days from the date of such change in control.

FI 00 12 01 12

Page 9 of 19

As used in this condition, control means the power to determine the management or policy of the Insured or of a controlling holding company by virtue of voting stock or voting rights ownership or partnership interest. A change in control, for the purpose of giving the required notice, means:

(1)

A change in ownership of voting stock or voting rights which results in direct or indirect ownership by a stockholder or an affiliated group of stockholders of more than 10% of such voting stock or voting rights; or

(2)

A change of 25% in your or a “partner’s” “financial interest” due to a realignment of such “partner’s” “financial interest”.

Failure to give the required notice shall result in termination of coverage for any loss involving a transferee, to be effective upon the date of such change in control or ownership.

A change in ownership which results in direct or indirect ownership by a stockholder or an affiliated group of stockholders of more than 50% of the voting stock or voting rights of the first Named Insured shall cause this policy to be terminated as set forth in Condition 22.b.(1)(b).

Notice To Us Of Legal Proceedings Against You – Our Election To Defend

You shall notify us at the earliest practicable moment, not to exceed 30 days after you receive notice of any legal proceeding brought to determine your liability for any loss, claim or damage which, if established, would constitute a collectible loss under this policy. Concurrently, you shall furnish copies of all pleadings and pertinent papers to us.

We may, at our sole option, elect to conduct the defense of such legal proceeding, in whole or in part. If we so elect:

(1)

The defense by us shall be in your name through attorneys selected by us; and

(2)

You shall provide all reasonable information and assistance required by us for such defense.

If you do not give the notices required in Condition 9.a.(1) and also in Paragraph 8.a., or if we elect not to defend any causes of action, neither a judgment against you, nor a settlement of any legal proceeding by you, shall determine the existence, extent or amount of coverage under this policy for loss sustained by you, and we shall not be liable for any attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by you.

With regard to this condition, Paragraphs a.(5) and b. of Condition 9. apply upon the entry of such judgment or the occurrence of such settlement instead of upon “discovery” of loss. In addition, you must notify us within 30 days after such judgment is entered against you or after you settle such legal proceeding and, subject to Condition 9.c., you may not bring legal proceedings for the recovery of such loss after the expiration of 24 months from the date of such final judgment or settlement.

Notice To Us – Proof – Legal Proceedings Against Us

Upon “discovery”, you shall:

(1)

Notify us at the earliest practicable moment, not to exceed 60 days. However, we will waive such notice if the amount of loss, in your best estimation, does not exceed the percentage of Single Loss Deductible Amount over which losses must be reported shown in the Declarations. If, however, you later determine that such loss does in fact exceed this percentage, then you shall notify us at the earliest practicable moment, not to exceed 15 days from the date such determination was made.

(2)

Submit to examination under oath at our request and give us a signed statement of your answers.

(3)

Produce for our examination all pertinent records.

(4)

Cooperate with us in the investigation and settlement of any claim.

FI 00 12 01 12

Page 10 of 19

furnish to us proof of loss, duly sworn to, with full particulars. In addition, with regard to Paragraphs 9.a.(5)(a) and 9.a.(5)(b):

(i)

“Certificated securities” listed in a proof of loss shall be identified by certificate or bond number if such securities were issued therewith.

(ii)

Proof of loss involving voice initiated transfers covered under Insuring Agreement 8. shall include verification of the callback, as required in Paragraph 8.b. of the Insuring Agreement.

(iii)

Proof of loss involving telefacsimile transfers covered under Insuring Agreement 9. shall include a copy of the instruction received through the “telefacsimile device” or “computer system”.

Legal proceedings for the recovery of any loss under this policy shall not be brought after the expiration of 24 months from the date of “discovery” of such loss.

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

This policy affords coverage only in your favor. No suit, action or legal proceeding shall be brought under this policy by anyone other than you.

10.

Assignment – Subrogation – Recovery

In the event of payment under this policy, you shall deliver, if so requested by us, an assignment of your rights, title and interest and causes of action as you have against any person or entity to the extent of the loss payment.

In the event of payment under this policy, we shall be subrogated to all of your rights of recovery against any person or entity to the extent of such payment.

Recoveries, whether effected before or after any payment under this policy, whether made by us or by you, shall be applied net of the expense of such recovery:

(1)

First, to you in satisfaction of your covered loss in excess of the amount paid under this policy;

(2)

Second, to us in satisfaction of amounts paid in settlement of your claim;

(3)

Third, to you in satisfaction of any Single Loss Deductible Amount; and

(4)

Fourth, to you in satisfaction of any loss not covered under this policy.

Recovery on account of loss of securities as set forth in Condition 21.b. or recovery from reinsurance and/or indemnity by us shall not be deemed to be a recovery as used herein.

This policy does not afford coverage in favor of any depository. When we indemnify you for a loss covered under this policy, you shall assign the rights and causes of action to the extent of the claim payment against the depository, or any other entity or person against whom it has a cause of action, to us.

If the rules of the depository provide that you shall be assessed for a portion of the judgment (or agreed settlement) taken by us based upon the assignment set forth above and you actually pay such assessment, then we will reimburse you for the amount of the assessment but not exceeding the amount of the loss payment made by us.

11.

Your rights and duties under this policy may not be transferred without our written consent.

12.

This policy contains all the agreements between you and us concerning the insurance afforded.

This policy’s terms can be amended or waived only by endorsement issued by us and made a part of this policy.

Inspections And Surveys

We have the right to:

(1)

Make inspections and surveys at any time;

(2)

Give you reports on the conditions we find; and

(3)

Recommend changes.

We are not obligated to make any inspections, surveys, reports or recommendations and any such actions we do undertake relate only to insurability and the premiums to be charged. We do not make safety inspections. We do not undertake to perform the duty of any person or organization to provide for the health or safety of any workers or the public. And we do not warrant that conditions:

(1)

Are safe or healthful; or

Paragraphs 15.a. and 15.b. apply not only to us, but also to any rating, advisory, rate service or similar organization which makes insurance inspections, surveys, reports or recommendations.

If we adopt any revision that would broaden the coverage under this policy without additional premium within 45 days prior to or during the Policy Period, the broadened coverage will immediately apply to this policy.

17.

Premiums

The first Named Insured shown in the Declarations:

Is responsible for the payment of all premiums; and

Will be the payee for any return premiums we pay.

18.

Nominees

Loss sustained by any nominee organized by you for the purpose of handling certain of your business transactions and composed exclusively of “employees” shall, for all the purposes of this policy and whether or not any partner or member of such nominee is implicated in such loss, be deemed to be a loss sustained by you.

19.

Employee Benefit Plans

The “employee benefit plans” (Plans) shown in the Declarations are included as Insureds under Insuring Agreement 1., subject to the following:

You are responsible for selecting a Single Loss Limit of Insurance for Insuring Agreement 1. that is sufficient to provide a limit of insurance for each Plan that is at least equal to that required under ERISA as if each Plan were separately insured.

Any payment we make for loss sustained by any Plan will be made directly to the Plan.

We will not apply the Single Loss Deductible Amount applicable to Insuring Agreement 1. to loss sustained by any Plan up to the amount of coverage required under ERISA for that Plan at the time the loss was “discovered”. However, we will apply the Single Loss Deductible Amount to that part of any loss which exceeds the amount of coverage required for such Plan.

If two or more Plans are insured under this policy, any payment we make for loss:

(1)

Sustained by two or more Plans; or

(2)

Of commingled “property” of two or more Plans;

resulting directly from an “occurrence”, will be made to each Plan sustaining loss in the proportion that the limit of insurance required under ERISA for each Plan bears to the total of those limits.

We will pay for loss sustained by any Plan prior to the effective date of termination or cancellation of this policy or of any Plan, which is “discovered” by a “designated person” no later than one year from the date of that termination or cancellation.

20.

Valuation – Settlement

The value of any loss for purposes of coverage under this policy shall be the net loss to you after crediting any receipts, payments or recoveries, however denominated, received by you in connection with the transaction giving rise to the loss.

Any interest or fees received by you in connection with a “loan”, or any commissions or other amounts received by you in connection with a trade, shall be deemed to be credits.

We will settle in kind our liability under this policy on account of loss of any securities or, at your option, will pay you the cost of replacing such securities, determined by the market value of such securities at the close of business on the day the loss was “discovered”. However, if prior to such settlement you shall be compelled by the demands of a third party or by market rules to purchase replacement securities, and you give written notification of this to us, the cost incurred by you shall be taken as the value of those securities.

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 their expiration.

(2)

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

Books of account or other written records used by you in your business, upon our written consent, we will pay for reasonable costs to reproduce such books of account or written records, provided they are actually reproduced and then for not more than the cost of the blank books, blank pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the actual transcription or copying of data which shall have been furnished by you in order to reproduce such books of account or other written records.

(2)

“Electronic data” or other electronic records, upon our written consent, we will pay for reasonable costs to replace or restore such “electronic data” or electronic records, including the cost of data entry and computer consultation services. However, we will not pay for the cost to duplicate research that led to the development of your “electronic data” or electronic records. To the extent that any “electronic data” or electronic records cannot be restored, we will pay the cost to replace the media on which the “electronic data” or electronic records were stored with blank media of substantially identical type.
