The Underwriter, in consideration of an agreed premium, and in reliance upon all statements made
and information furnished to the Underwriter by the Insured in applying for this bond, and subject
to the Declarations, Insuring Agreements, General Agreements, Conditions and Limitations and other
terms hereof, agrees to indemnify the Insured for:
INSURING AGREEMENTS
FIDELITY
(A) | Loss resulting directly from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by an Employee acting

|
Such dishonest or fraudulent acts must be committed by the Employee with the manifest intent: |
(a) | to cause the Insured to sustain such loss; and | ||
(b) | to obtain financial benefit for the Employee or another person or entity. |
However, if some or all of the Insureds loss results directly or indirectly from Loans,
that portion of the loss is not covered unless the Employee was in collusion with one or
more parties to the transactions and has received, in connection therewith, a financial
benefit with a value of at least $2,500. |
||
As used throughout this Insuring Agreement, financial benefit does not include any employee
benefits earned in the normal course of employment, including: salaries, commissions, fees,
bonuses, promotions, awards, profit sharing or pensions. |
ON PREMISES
(B) | (1) | Loss of Property resulting directly from |
(a) | robbery, burglary, misplacement, mysterious unexplainable
disappearance and damage thereto or destruction thereof, or |
||

or malicious mischief, or |
||
(b) | such office resulting from larceny or theft in, or by burglary or
robbery of such office or attempt thereat, or to the interior of such office by
vandalism or malicious mischief, |
provided that |
(i) | the Insured is the owner of such furnishings,
fixtures, supplies, equipment, or office or is liable for such loss or
damage, and |
||
(ii) | the loss is not caused by fire. |
IN TRANSIT
(C) | Loss of Property resulting directly from robbery, common-law or statutory larceny,
misplacement, mysterious unexplainable disappearance, being lost or made away with, and damage
thereto or destruction thereof, while the Property is in transit
anywhere in the custody of |
(a) | a natural person acting as a messenger of the Insured (or another natural
person acting as messenger or custodian during an emergency arising from the incapacity
of the original messenger), or |
||
(b) | a Transportation Company and being transported in an armored motor vehicle, or | ||
(c) | a Transportation Company and being transported in a conveyance other than an
armored motor vehicle provided that covered Property transported in such manner is
limited to the following: |

(ii) | Certificated Securities issued in registered form and not endorsed, or with restrictive endorsements, and | ||
(iii) | Negotiable Instruments not payable to bearer, or not endorsed, or with restrictive endorsements. |

(D) | Loss resulting directly from Forgery or alteration of, on, or in any Negotiable Instruments
(except registered or bearer obligations) made or drawn by or drawn upon the Insured, or made

before set forth: |
|
A mechanically reproduced facsimile signature is treated the same as a handwritten signature. |
SECURITIES
(E) | Loss resulting directly from the Insured having, in good faith, for its own account or for the account of others, |
(1) | acquired, sold or delivered, or given value, extended credit or assumed liability, on the faith of, any original |

(b) | Document of Title, | ||
(c) | deed, mortgage or other instrument conveying title to, or creating or discharging a lien upon, real property, | ||
(d) | Certificate of Origin or Title, | ||

(iii) | is lost or stolen; |
(2) | acquired, sold or delivered, or given value, extended credit or assumed
liability, on the faith of any item listed in (a) through (d) above which is a
Counterfeit. |
5
Actual physical possession of the items listed in (a) through (g) above by the
Insured, is a condition precedent to the Insureds having relied on the faith of such
items. |
|||
A mechanically reproduced facsimile signature is treated the same as a handwritten
signature. |

(F) | Loss resulting directly from the receipt by the Insured, in good faith, of any Counterfeit
Money of the United States of America, Canada or of any other country in which the Insured

GENERAL AGREEMENTS

MERGER OR PURCHASE OF ASSETS-NOTICE
A. | If the Insured shall, while this bond is in force, establish any additional offices, other
than by consolidation or merger with, or purchase or acquisition of assets or liabilities of,
another institution, such offices shall be automatically covered hereunder from the date of
such establishment without the requirement of notice to the Underwriter or the payment of
additional premium for the remainder of the premium period. |
|
If the Insured shall, while this bond is in force, consolidate or merge with, or purchase or
acquire assets or liabilities of, another institution, the Insured shall not have such
coverage as is afforded under this bond for loss which |
(a) | has occurred or will occur in offices or premises, or | ||
(b) | has been caused or will be caused by an employee or employees of such institution, or | ||
(c) | has arisen or will arise out of the assets or liabilities acquired by the
Insured as a result of such consolidation, merger or purchase or acquisition of assets
or liabilities unless the Insured shall |
(i) | give the Underwriter written notice of the proposed
consolidation, merger or purchase or acquisition of assets or liabilities prior
to the proposed effective date of such action and |
||
(ii) | obtain the written consent of the Underwriter to extend the
coverage provided by this bond to such additional offices or premises, Employees
and other exposures, and |
||
(iii) | upon obtaining such consent, pay to the Underwriter an additional premium. |

CHANGE OF CONTROL-NOTICE
B. | When the Insured learns of a change in control, it shall give written notice to the Underwriter. | |
As used in this General Agreement, control means the power to determine the management or
policy of a controlling holding company or the Insured by virtue of voting-stock ownership.
A change in ownership of voting-stock which results in direct or indirect ownership by a
stockholder or an affiliated group of stockholders of ten percent (10%) or more of such
stock shall be presumed to result in a change of control for the purpose of the required
notice. |
||
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 stock
transfer. |
REPRESENTATION OF INSURED
C. | The Insured represents that the information furnished in the application for this bond is
complete, true and correct. Such application constitutes part of this
bond. |
|
Any misrepresentation, omission, concealment or incorrect statement of a material fact, in
the application or otherwise, shall be grounds for the rescission of
this bond. |
JOINT INSURED
D. | If two or more Insureds are covered under this bond, the first named Insured shall act for
all Insureds. Payment by the Underwriter to the first named Insured of loss sustained by any
Insured shall fully release the Underwriter on account of such loss. If the first named
Insured ceases to be covered under this bond, the Insured next named shall thereafter be
considered as the first named Insured. Knowledge possessed or discovery made by any Insured
shall constitute knowledge or discovery by all Insureds for all purposes of this bond. The
liability of the Underwriter for loss or losses sustained by all Insureds shall not exceed the
amount for which the Underwriter would have been liable had all such loss or losses been
sustained by one Insured. |
NOTICE OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST INSURED-ELECTION TO DEFEND
AGAINST INSURED-ELECTION TO DEFEND
E. | The Insured shall notify the Underwriter at the earliest practicable moment, not to exceed 30
days after notice thereof, of any legal proceeding brought to determine the Insureds
liability for any loss, claim or damage, which, if established, would constitute a collectible
loss under this bond. Concurrently, the Insured shall furnish copies of all pleadings and
pertinent papers to the Underwriter. |
7
The Underwriter, at its sole option, may elect to conduct the defense of such legal
proceeding, in whole or in part. The defense by the Underwriter shall be in the Insureds
name through attorneys selected by the Underwriter. The Insured shall provide all reasonable
information and assistance required by the Underwriter for such
defense. |
If the Underwriter elects to defend the Insured, in whole or in part, any judgment against
the Insured on those counts or causes of action which the Underwriter defended on behalf of
the Insured or any settlement in which the Underwriter participates and all attorneys fees,
costs and expenses incurred by the Underwriter in the defense of the litigation shall be a
loss covered by this bond. |
If the Insured does not give the notices required in subsection (a) of Section 5 of this
bond and in the first paragraph of this General Agreement, or if the Underwriter elects not
to defend any causes of action, neither a judgment against the Insured, nor a settlement of
any legal proceeding by the Insured, shall determine the existence, extent or amount of
coverage under this bond for loss sustained by the Insured, and the Underwriter shall not be
liable for any attorneys fees, costs and expenses incurred by
the Insured. |
With respect to this General Agreement, subsections (b) and (d) of Section 5 of this bond
apply upon the entry of such judgment or the occurrence of such settlement instead of upon
discovery of loss. In addition, the Insured must notify the Underwriter within 30 days after
such judgment is entered against it or after the Insured settles such legal proceeding, and,
subject to subsection (e) of Section 5, the Insured 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. |

DISCOVERY
Section 3. This bond applies to loss discovered by the Insured during the Bond Period. Discovery
occurs when the Insured first becomes aware of facts which would cause a reasonable person to
assume that a loss of a type covered by this bond has been or will be incurred, regardless of when
the act of acts causing or contributing to such loss occurred, even though the exact amount of
details of loss may not then be known.
Discovery also occurs when the Insured receives notice of an actual or potential claim in which it
is alleged that the Insured is liable to a third party under circumstances which, if true, would
constitute a loss under this bond.
LIMIT OF LIABILITY
Section 4.
Aggregate Limit of Liability
The Underwriters total liability for all losses discovered during the Bond Period shown in Item 2
of
the Declarations shall not exceed the Aggregate Limit of Liability shown in Item 3 of the
Declarations. The Aggregate Limit of Liability shall be reduced by the amount of any payment made
under the terms of this bond.
Upon exhaustion of the Aggregate Limit of Liability by such payments;
(a) | The Underwriter shall have no further liability for loss or losses regardless of when
discovered and whether or not previously reported to the Underwriter, and |
13
(b) | The Underwriter shall have no obligation under General Agreement E to continue the defense of
the Insured, and upon notice by the Underwriter to the Insured that the Aggregate Limit of
Liability has been exhausted, the Insured shall assume all responsibility for its defense at
its own cost. |
The Aggregate Limit of Liability shall not be increased or reinstated by any recovery made and
applied in accordance with subsections (a), (b) and (c) of Section 7. In the event that a loss of
Property is settled by the Underwriter through the use of a lost instrument bond, such loss shall
not reduce the Aggregate Limit of Liability.
Single Loss Limit of Liability
Subject to the Aggregate Limit of Liability, the Underwriters liability for each Single Loss shall
not exceed the applicable Single Loss Limit of Liability shown in Item 4 of the Declarations. If a
Single Loss is covered under more than one Insuring Agreement or Coverage, the maximum payable
shall not exceed the largest applicable Singel Loss Limit of Liability.
Single Loss Defined
Single Loss means all covered loss, including court costs and attorneys fees incurred by the
Underwriter under General Agreement E, resulting from
(a) | any one act or series of related acts of burglary, robbery or attempt thereat, in which no
Employee is implicated, or |
(b) | any one act or series of related unintentional or negligent acts or omissions on the part of
any person (whether an Employee or not) resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement
of Property, or |
(c) | all acts or omissions other than those specified in (a) and (b) preceding, caused by any
person (whether an Employee or not) or in which such person is implicated, or |
(d) | any one casualty or event not specified in (a), (b) or (c) preceding. |

(b) | Within 6 months after such discovery, the Insured shall furnish to the Underwriter proof of
loss, duly sworn to, with full particulars. |
14
(c) | Lost Certified Securities listed in a proof of loss shall be identified by certificate or

the expiration of 24 months from the discovery of such loss. |
(e) | If any limitation embodied in this bond 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. |
(f) | This bond affords coverage only in favor of the Insured. No suit, action or legal proceedings
shall be brought hereunder by any one other than the named Insured. |
VALUATION
Section 6. Any loss of Money, or loss payable in Money, shall be paid, at the option of the
Insured, in the Money of the country in which the loss was sustained or in the United States of
America dollar equivalent thereof determined at the rate of exchange at the time of payment of such
loss.
Securities
The Underwriter shall settle in kind its liability under this bond on account of a loss of any
securities or, at the option of the Insured, shall pay to the Insured the cost of replacing such
securities, determined by the market value thereof at the time of such settlement. In case of a
