**GENERAL AGREEMENTS**

NOMINEES

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Loss sustained by any nominee organized by the Insured for the purpose of handling certain of its business transactions and composed exclusively of its Employees shall, for all the purposes of this bond and whether or not any partner of such nominee is implicated in such loss, be deemed to be loss sustained by the Insured.

ADDITIONAL OFFICES OR EMPLOYEES—CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR PURCHASE OF ASSETS—NOTICE

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) has occurred or will occur in offices or premises, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) has been caused or will be caused by an employee or employees of such institution,
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

Class Code: 2-14057<br> TSB 5062b 1087 Copyright, The Surety Association of America, 1987 Page 3 of 7

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) upon obtaining such consent, pay to the Underwriter an additional premium.

CHANGE OF CONTROL—NOTICE

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. 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 the stock transfer.

REPRESENTATION OF INSURED

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. 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 Insured's 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.

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 Insured's 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 or acts causing or contributing to such loss occurred, even though the exact amount or 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 Underwriter's 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.

Upon exhaustion of the Aggregate Limit of Liability by such payments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Underwriter shall have no obligation under General Agreement F 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 Underwriter's 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 Single 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 F, resulting from

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any one act or series of related acts of burglary, robbery or attempt thereat,

the part of any person (whether an Employee or not) resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of Property, or

NOTICE/PROOF—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST UNDERWRITER

Section 5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At the earliest practicable moment, not to exceed 30 days, after discovery of loss, the Insured shall give the Underwriter notice thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Within 6 months after such discovery, the Insured shall furnish to the Underwriter proof of loss, duly sworn to, with full particulars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Lost Certificated Securities listed in a proof of loss shall be identified by certificate or bond numbers if such securities were issued therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Legal proceedings for the recovery of any loss hereunder shall not be brought prior to the expiration of 60 days after the original proof of loss is filed with the Underwriter or after the expiration of 24 months from the discovery of such loss.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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. However, if prior to such settlement the Insured shall be compelled by the demands of a third party or by market rules to purchase equivalent securities, and gives written notification of this to the Underwriter, the cost incurred by the Insured 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 shall be the value of such privileges immediately preceding the expiration thereof. If such securities cannot be replaced or have no quoted market value, or if such privileges have no quoted market value, their value shall be determined by agreement or arbitration.

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

Disagreement between the Underwriter and the Insured as to the cash value or as to the adequacy of repair or replacement shall be resolved by arbitration.

If the coverage of this bond supersedes in whole or in part the coverage of any other bond or policy of insurance issued by an Insurer other than the Underwriter and terminated, canceled or allowed to expire, the Underwriter, with respect to any loss sustained prior to such termination, cancelation or expiration and discovered within the period permitted under such other bond or policy for the discovery of loss thereunder, shall be liable under this bond only for that part of such loss covered by this bond as is in excess of the amount recoverable or recovered on account of such loss under such other bond or policy, anything to the contrary in such other bond or policy notwithstanding.

OTHER INSURANCE OR INDEMNITY

Section 9. Coverage afforded hereunder shall apply only as excess over any valid and collectible insurance or indemnity obtained by the Insured, or by one other than the Insured on Property subject to exclusion (q) or by a Transportation Company, or by another entity on whose premises the loss occurred or which employed the person causing the loss or the messenger conveying the Property involved.

OWNERSHIP

Section 10. This bond shall apply to loss of Property (1) owned by the Insured, (2) held by the Insured in any capacity, or (3) for which the Insured is legally liable. This bond shall be for the sole use and benefit of the Insured named in the Declarations.

DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT

The Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the amount by which any single loss, as defined in Section 4, exceeds the Single Loss Deductible amount for the Insuring Agreement or Coverage applicable to such loss, subject to the Aggregate Limit of Liability and the applicable Single Loss Limit of Liability.

The Insured shall, in the time and in the manner prescribed in this bond, give the Underwriter notice of any loss of the kind covered by the terms of this bond, whether or not the Underwriter is liable therefor, and upon the request of the Underwriter shall file with it a brief statement giving the particulars concerning such loss.

TERMINATION OR CANCELATION

Section 12. This bond terminates as an entirety upon occurrence of any of the following:—(a) 60 days after the receipt by the Insured of a written notice from the Underwriter of its desire to cancel this bond, or (b) immediately upon the receipt by the Underwriter of a written notice from the Insured of its desire to cancel this bond, or (c) immediately upon the taking over of the Insured by a receiver or other liquidator or by State or Federal officials, or (d) immediately upon the taking over of the Insured by another institution, or (e) immediately upon exhaustion of the Aggregate Limit of Liability, or (f) immediately upon expiration of the Bond Period as set forth in Item 2 of the Declarations.

This bond terminates as to any Employee or any partner, officer or employee of any Processor—(a) as soon as any Insured, or any director or officer not in collusion with such person, learns of any dishonest or fraudulent act committed by such person at any time, whether in the employment of the Insured or otherwise, whether or not of the type covered under Insuring Agreement (A), against the Insured or any other person or entity, without prejudice to the loss of any Property then in transit in the custody of such person, or (b) 15 days after the receipt by the Insured of a written notice from the Underwriter of its desire to cancel this bond as to such person.

Termination of the bond as to any Insured terminates liability for any loss sustained by such Insured which is discovered after the effective date of such termination.

In witness whereof, the Underwriter has caused this bond to be executed on the Declarations page.

A. The INSURING AGREEMENTS section is amended by the addition of the following new Insuring Agreement:

SOCIAL ENGINEERING FRAUD

Loss resulting directly from an Employee having, in good faith, transferred, paid, or delivered Money or Securities from the Insured's account to a person or account outside of the Insured's control, in reliance upon a Social Engineering Fraud Instruction directing such transfer, payment, or delivery of Money or Securities.

B. Solely with respect to the coverage provided by this Rider, the DEFINITIONS section is amended by the addition of the following new
definitions:

Authorized Transfer Agent means:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) a director, officer, partner, member, or sole proprietor of the Insured;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) an Employee who is authorized by the Insured to instruct other Employees to transfer, pay or deliver the

A Forgery is not an Official Authorization.

Agreement, the Underwriter shall have no obligation under General Agreement F to continue the defense of the Insured, and upon notice
by the Underwriter to the Insured that the Social Engineering Fraud Insuring Agreement Aggregate Limit of Liability has been exhausted,
the Insured shall assume all responsibility for its defense at its own cost.

The Social Engineering Fraud Insuring Agreement Aggregate Limit of Liability is part of, and not in addition to, the Aggregate Limit of Liability shown in Item 3 of the Declarations.

INSURED'S ERISA PLANS

If any Employee or director of the Insured is required to provide a bond to a health, welfare, or pension plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) (hereinafter the Plan), the majority of whose beneficiaries are Employees or former Employees of the Insured, the Plan shall be deemed an Insured under this bond for the purposes of Insuring Agreement (A) only and, in addition to all other terms and conditions of this bond, subject to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the deductible required by Section 11. DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT of the **CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS** shall
be applicable to a loss suffered by the Plan only after the Plan has received from the Underwriter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the lesser of $500,000 or 10% of the
assets of the Plan at the beginning of the fiscal year of the Plan in which the loss is discovered, if the Plan does not hold "employer
securities" within the meaning of section 407(d)(1) of ERISA; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the lesser of $1,000,000 or 10%
of the assets of the Plan at the beginning of the fiscal year of the Plan in which the loss is discovered, if the Plan holds "employer
securities" within the meaning of section 407(d)(1) of ERISA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) notwithstanding Section 3. DISCOVERY
of the **CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS**, loss suffered by the Plan is covered if discovered during the term of this bond or within one
year thereafter, but, if discovered during said one year period, the loss payable under this bond shall be reduced by the amount recoverable
from any other bond or insurance protecting the assets of the Plan against loss through fraud or dishonesty; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) if more than one Plan subject to ERISA
is an Insured pursuant to this General Agreement, the Insured shall purchase limits sufficient to provide the minimum amount of coverage
required by ERISA for each Plan and shall distribute any payment made under this bond to said Plans so that each Plan receives the amount
it would have received if insured separately for the minimum coverage which ERISA required it to have.

(4) All other provisions of the bond remain unchanged.

1. Part (a)
of the section entitled "Termination or Cancellation" of this bond/policy is deleted and cancellation of this bond/policy by
the Underwriter/Company is subject to the following provisions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. If
this bond/policy has been in effect for 60 days or less, the underwriter/company
may cancel this bond/policy by mailing or delivering to the first named Insured written notice of cancellation at least:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) 20 days
before the effective date of cancellation if the underwriter/company cancels for any reason not included in paragraph (2) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) 15 days
before the effective date of cancellation if the underwriter/company cancels for any of the following reasons:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Nonpayment
of premium provided, however, that a notice of cancellation for this reason shall inform the Insured of the amount due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Conviction
of a crime arising out of acts increasing the hazard insured against;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Discovery
of fraud or material misrepresentation in the obtaining of the bond/policy or in the presentation of a claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) After
issuance of the bond/policy or after the last renewal date, discovery of an act or omission, or a violation of a bond/policy condition, that substantially and materially increases the hazard insured against, and that
occurred subsequent to inception of the current bond/policy period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Material
physical change in the property insured, occurring after issuance or last annual renewal anniversary date of the bond/policy, that results
in the property becoming uninsurable in accordance with our objective, uniformly applied underwriting standards in effect at the time
the bond/policy was issued or last renewed; or material change in the nature or extent of the risk, occurring after issuance or last annual
renewal anniversary date of the bond/policy, that causes the risk of loss to be substantially and materially increased beyond that contemplated
at the time the bond/policy was issued or last renewed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Required
pursuant to a determination by the Superintendent that continuation of our present premium volume would jeopardize our solvency or be
hazardous to the interest of our policyholders, our creditors or the public;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) A
determination by the Superintendent that the continuation of the bond/policy would violate, or would place us in violation of, any provision
of the Insurance Code; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) Where
the underwriter/company has reason to believe, in good faith and with sufficient cause, that there is a probable risk of danger that an
insured will destroy, or permit to be destroyed, the insured property for the purpose of collecting the insurance proceeds. If the underwriter/company
cancels for this reason, the first named Insured may make a written request to the Insurance Department, within 10 days of receipt of
this notice, to review the cancellation decision. Also, the underwriter/company will simultaneously send a copy of the cancellation notice
to the Insurance Department.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. If
this bond/policy has been in effect for more than 60 days, or if this bond/policy is a renewal or continuation of a bond/policy the
underwriter/company issued, the underwriter/company may cancel only for any of the reasons listed in paragraph (2) above, provided
the underwriter/company mails the first named Insured written notice at least 15 days before the
effective date of cancellation. If cancellation is for
nonpayment of premium, the notice of cancellation shall
inform the Insured of the amount due.

retain a minimum earned premium of 10% of the total premium or $60, whichever is
greater. The cancellation will be effective even if the underwriter/company
has not made or offered a refund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. If
one of the reasons for cancellation in paragraph a.(2) exists,
the underwriter/company may cancel this entire bond/policy, even if the reason for cancellation pertains only to a new coverage or endorsement
initially effective subsequent to the original issuance of this
bond/policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. If

will send notice as provided in paragraph c. below.

to the expiration date of the bond/policy, coverage will remain in effect at the same terms and conditions of this bond/policy at the

notice was provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of this Policy, then the terms, conditions and rates set forth in the conditional renewal notice shall apply as of the renewal date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) on or after the expiration date of this bond/policy, coverage will
remain in effect at the same terms and conditions of this bond/policy for another required bond/policy period, at the lower of the current rates or the prior period's rates, unless the first named Insured, during this additional required
bond/policy period, has replaced the coverage or elects to cancel.
