transfer, payment, delivery or receipt of "funds" or "property", which instruction, advice or application purports
to have been signed or endorsed by any "customer" to shares of an "investment company", or by any financial institution,

 accordance with Paragraph **8.d.** Such payment, however, shall not exceed an amount equal
 to the Limit of Insurance of the applicable Insuring Agreement under which the loss is paid.

However, with regard to Insuring Agreement **1.,** our payment of court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees shall only apply in the event that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** An
"employee" admits to having committed, or is adjudicated to have committed, a dishonest or fraudulent act; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** In
the absence of such an admission or adjudication, an arbitrator or panel of arbitrators acceptable to both you and us concludes that
an "employee" would be found guilty of having committed a dishonest or fraudulent act;

that would be covered under Insuring Agreement **1.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**d.** The
 amount we will pay for court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees (CC&AF) in such
 legal proceeding as provided in Paragraph **8.c.** shall be determined as follows, but
 in no event shall we be liable for the payment of court costs and reasonable attorneys'
 fees that exceed the amount demanded in any such legal proceeding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** First,
 determine the percentage representing the dollar amount of the demand that could be covered
 if the allegations were true:<br>
 <br> **(Total Demand – Not Covered Demand) ÷ Total Demand = X%** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** Then,
 multiply the percentage determined in Paragraph **8.d.(1)** by the total amount of CC&AF
 incurred by you to determine the adjusted amount of CC&AF (Adj. CC&AF):<br>
 <br> **X% x Total CC&AF = Adj. CC&AF** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** Next,
 if the amount of the covered demand (Total Demand – Not Covered Demand) exceeds the
 Deductible Amount and is less than or equal to the Limit of Insurance of the applicable Insuring
 Agreement, then our liability for payment of court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees
 shall be calculated as follows:<br>
 <br> **(Covered Demand – Deductible) ÷ Covered Demand x Adj. CC&AF = Payment** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** Or,
 the amount of the covered demand (Total Demand – Not Covered Demand) exceeds the Limit
 of Insurance of the applicable Insuring Agreement plus the Deductible Amount, then our liability
 for payment of court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees shall be calculated as follows:<br>
 <br> **Limit Of Insurance ÷ Covered Demand x Adj. CC&AF = Payment** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**e.** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**f.** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.** **Notice To Us – Proof – Legal Proceedings Against Us** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** Upon
"discovery", you shall:

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 the Deductible Amount over which losses must be reported as 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** Submit
to examination under oath at our request and give us a signed statement of your answers.

six months:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** From
the date of "discovery"; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** From
the date you determined that the loss exceeded the percentage of the Deductible Amount over which losses must be reported as provided
in Paragraph **9.a.(1);** 

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):**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)** "Certificated
 securities" listed in a proof of loss shall be identified by certificate or bond number
 if such securities were issued therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(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".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**c.** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**d.** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.** **Assignment – Subrogation – Recovery** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**c.** 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** First,
to you in satisfaction of your covered loss in excess of the amount paid under this policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** Second,
to us in satisfaction of amounts paid in settlement of your claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** Third,
to you in satisfaction of any Deductible Amount; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** Fourth,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**d.** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**e.** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.** **Transfer Of Your Rights And Duties Under This Policy** 

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.** **Changes** 

This policy contains all the agreements between you and us concerning the insurance afforded. The first Named Insured shown in the Declarations is authorized to make changes in the terms of this policy with our consent. This policy's terms can be amended or waived only by endorsement issued by us and made a part of this policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** If
the first Named Insured "investment company" is the sole Insured, no change to this policy which would adversely affect the
rights of the "investment company" shall become effective until after advance written notice of such change has been mailed
or delivered by the acting party to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., at least 60 days before the effective date
of such change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.** If
more than one Insured is named in the Declarations, no change to this policy which would adversely affect the rights of any "investment
company" shall become effective until after advance written notice of such change has been mailed or delivered by us to all "investment
companies" named in the Declarations and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., at least 60 days before the
effective date of such change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.** **Records** 

You must keep records of all "property" covered under this policy so we can verify the amount of any loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.** **Examination Of Your Books And Records** 

We may examine and audit your books and records as they relate to this policy at any time during the Policy Period and up to three years afterward.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.** **Inspections And Surveys** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** We

changes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.** 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** Are
safe or healthful; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** Comply

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**c.** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.** **Liberalization** 

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**17.** **Premiums** 

The first Named Insured shown in the Declarations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** Is
responsible for the payment of all premiums; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.** Will
be the payee for any return premiums we pay.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**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:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| **FI 00 15 09 12** |© Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 | **Page 11 of 19** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** You
are responsible for selecting a 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.** Any
payment we make for loss sustained by any Plan will be made directly to the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**c.** We
will not apply the 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 Deductible Amount to that
part of any loss which exceeds the amount of coverage required for such Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**d.** If
two or more Plans are insured under this policy, any payment we make for loss:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** Sustained
by two or more Plans; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**e.** We
will pay for loss sustained under 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**20.** **Other Insurance Or Indemnity** 

Coverage afforded under this policy shall apply only as excess over any valid and collectible insurance or indemnity obtained by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** You;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.** A
"transportation company"; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**c.** Another
entity on whose premises the loss occurred or which employed the person causing the loss or the messenger conveying the "property"
involved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**21.** **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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** **Money** 

Any loss of "money", or loss payable in "money", will be paid, at your option:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** In
the "money" of the country in which the loss was sustained; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** In
the United States of America dollar equivalent, determined by the rate of exchange published in The Wall Street Journal on the day the
loss was "discovered".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.** **Securities** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** If
the applicable coverage of this policy is subject to a 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.
