HOW TO REPORT LOSSES, CLAIMS, OR POTENTIAL CLAIMS TO TRAVELERS
Reporting new losses, claims, or potential claims promptly can be critical. It helps to resolve covered losses or claims as quickly as possible and often reduces the overall cost. Prompt reporting:
| better protects the interests of all parties; |
| helps Travelers to try to resolve losses or claims more quickly; and |
| often reduces the overall cost of a loss or claim - losses or claims reported more than five days after they happen cost on average 35% more than those reported earlier. |
Report losses, claims, or potential claims to Travelers easily and quickly by fax, U S mail, or email.

NEW YORK STATUTORY RIDER
1. | The first paragraph of Section 13. TERMINATION under Conditions and Limitations is amended by adding the following: |
Cancellation of this bond by the Underwriter is subject to the following provisions:
If the bond has been in effect for 60 days or less, it may be canceled by the Underwriter for any reason. Such cancellation shall be effective 60 days after the Underwriter mails a notice of cancellation to the first-named Insured at the mailing address shown in the bond. However, if the bond has been in effect for more than 60 days or is a renewal, then cancellation must be based on one of the followings grounds:
(A) | non-payment of premium, however, that a notice of cancellation on this ground shall inform the insured of the amount due; |
(B) | conviction of crime arising out of acts increasing the hazard insured against; |
(C) | discovery of fraud or material misrepresentation in the obtaining of the bond or in the presentation of claim thereunder; |
(D) | after issuance of the bond or after the last renewal date, discovery of an act or omission, or a violation of any bond condition that substantially and materially increases the hazard Insured against, and which occurred subsequent to inception of the current bond period; |
(E) | material change in the nature or extent of the risk, occurring after issuance or last annual renewal anniversary date of the bond, which causes the risk of loss to be substantially and materially increased beyond that contemplated at the time the bond was issued or last renewed; |
(F) | the cancellation is required pursuant to a determination by the superintendent that continuation of the present premium volume of the Insurer would jeopardize the Insurers solvency or be hazardous to the interest of the Insureds, the Insurers creditors or the public; |
(G) | a determination by the superintendent that the continuation of the bond would violate, or would place the Insurer in violation of, any provision of the New York State Insurance laws. |
(H) | where the Insurer has reason to believe, in good faith and with sufficient cause, that there is a possible risk or danger that the Insured property will be destroyed by the Insured for the purpose of collecting the insurance proceeds, provided, however, that: |
(i) | a notice of cancellation on this ground shall inform the Insured in plain language that the Insured must act within ten days if review by the Insurance Department of the State of New York of the ground for cancellation is desired, and |
(ii) | notice of cancellation on this ground shall be provided simultaneously by the Insurer to the Insurance Department of the State of New York. |
(iii) | upon written request of the Insured made to the Insurance Department of the State of New York within ten days from the Insureds receipt of notice of cancellation on this ground, the department shall undertake a review of the ground for cancellation to determine whether or not the Insurer has satisfied the criteria for cancellation specified in this subparagraph; if after such review the department finds not sufficient cause for cancellation on this ground, the notice of cancellation on this ground shall be deemed null and void. |
ICB057 Ed. 4-05 | Page 1 of 2 | |||
© 2005 The Travelers Indemnity Company. All rights reserved. |
Cancellation based on one of the above grounds shall be effective 60 days after the notice of cancellation is mailed or delivered to the Named Insured, at the address shown on the bond, and to its authorized agent or broker.
2. | If the Underwriter elects not to replace a bond at the termination of the Bond Period, it shall notify the Insured not more than 120 days nor less than 60 days before termination. If such notice is given late, the bond shall continue in effect for 60 days after such notice is given. The Aggregate Limit of Liability shall not be increased or reinstated. The notice not to replace shall be mailed to the Insured and its broker or agent. |
3. | If the Underwriter elects to replace the bond, but with a change of limits, reduced coverage, increased deductible, additional exclusion, or upon increased premiums in excess of ten percent (exclusive of any premium increase as a result of experience rating), the Underwriter must mail written notice to the Insured and its agent or broker not more than 120 days nor less than 60 days before replacement. If such notice is given late, the replacement bond shall be in effect with the same terms, conditions and rates as the terminated bond for 60 days after such notice is given. |
4. | The Underwriter may elect to simply notify the Insured that the bond will either be not renewed or renewed with different terms, conditions or rates. In this event, the Underwriter will inform the Insured that a second notice will be sent at a later date specifying the Underwriters exact intention. The Underwriter shall inform the Insured that, in the meantime, coverage shall continue on the same terms, conditions and rates as the expiring bond until the expiration date of the bond or 60 days after the second notice is mailed or delivered, whichever is later. |
Nothing herein contained shall be held to vary, alter, waive, or extend any of the terms, conditions, provisions, agreements or limitations of the above mentioned Bond or Policy, other than as above stated.

MEL9006 Ed. 01-14
It is agreed that:
The following replaces CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS, SECTION 4. - LOSS - NOTICE - PROOF - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
SECTION 4. LOSS - NOTICE - PROOF - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured named in the Declarations and the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured unless the Insured, in its sole discretion and at its option, shall include such loss in the Insureds proof of loss. Within 90 days of the date of discovery of any loss hereunder the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice thereof and shall also within six months after such discovery furnish to the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars. If claim is made under this bond for loss of securities or shares, the Underwriter shall not be liable unless each of such securities or shares is identified in such proof of loss by a certificate or bond number or, where such securities or shares are uncertificated, by such identification means as agreed to by the Underwriter. The Underwriter shall have thirty days after notice and proof of loss within which to investigate the claim, but where the loss is clear and undisputed, settlement shall be made within forty-eight hours; and this shall apply notwithstanding the loss is made up wholly or in part of securities of which duplicates may be obtained. Legal proceedings for recovery of any loss hereunder shall not be brought prior to the expiration of sixty days after such proof of loss is filed with the Underwriter nor after the expiration of twenty-four months from the discovery of such loss, except that any action or proceedings to recover hereunder on account of any judgment against the Insured in any suit mentioned in General Agreement C or to recover attorneys fees paid in any such suit, shall be begun within twenty four months from the date upon which the judgment in such suit shall become final. 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 be equal to the minimum period of limitation permitted by such law.
Discovery occurs when the Insured:
(a) | becomes aware of facts; or |
(b) | receives written notice of an actual or potential claim by a third party which alleges that the Insured is liable under circumstances, |
which would cause a reasonable person to assume that a loss covered by the bond has been or will be incurred even though the exact amount or details of loss may not be then known.
Nothing herein contained shall be held to vary, alter, waive, or extend any of the terms, conditions, provisions, agreements or limitations of the above mentioned Bond or Policy, other than as above stated.

The allocation of the premium to each Fund shall be based on the proportionate share of the sum of the premiums that would have been paid if fidelity insurance was purchased separately by the Funds, and will be based upon the relative Minimum Insurance percentages of the Funds as of the quarter ending prior to the beginning of the first month in the period for which the coverage is obtained, subject to paragraph 4 below.
3. Each Fund is guaranteed a minimum coverage amount with access to the remainder of the total coverage of the Fidelity Bond. In the event that any recovery is received under the Fidelity Bond as a result of the loss sustained by two or more Funds, each Fund shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but in no event less than the amount it would have received had it maintained a single insured bond with minimum coverage.
4. Each Fund may, at any time, increase its allocation described in paragraph 2 upon payment of the premium required for such additional insurance provided that the face amount of the Fidelity Bond can increase accordingly or be supplemented by a policy of excess insurance.
5. Any other registered investment company or additional series of such an investment company for which the Advisers or their affiliates serves as investment adviser (Additional Fund) may become a party to this Agreement by executing a copy of this Agreement (a copy of which will be furnished to each of the Funds) and by paying the premium for any required increase in the amount of the Fidelity Bond if the underwriter of the Fidelity Bond is willing to add such Additional Fund as an additional insured and increase the amount of total coverage by the amount of the Minimum Insurance required for such Additional Fund by the provisions hereof.
6. The Agreement shall remain in effect for as long as two or more of the Funds (including any Additional Fund) are insured under the terms of the Fidelity Bond. Any Fund shall, however, have the right to terminate, at any time, its participation in the Fidelity Bond and in this Agreement provided that losses incurred prior to such termination shall be governed by the provision of this Agreement and the amount of any return premium to which such Fund shall be entitled will be limited to the amount actually obtained from the underwriter in respect of such termination.
