POLICYHOLDER
DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF
TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE
(for policies with no terrorism exclusion or sublimit)
Insuring Company: Federal Insurance Company
You are hereby notified that, under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (the “Act”), this
policy makes available to you insurance for losses arising out of certain acts of terrorism.
Terrorism is defined as any act certified by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human
life, property or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States,
or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier or vessel or the premises of a
United States Mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as part
of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy
or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.
You should know that the insurance provided by your policy for losses caused by acts of
terrorism is partially reimbursed by the United States under the formula set forth in the
Act. Under this formula, the United States pays 85% of covered terrorism losses that
exceed the statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company
providing the coverage. Beginning in 2016, the Federal share will be reduced by 1% per
year until it reaches 80%, where it will remain.
However, if aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act
exceed $100 billion in a calendar year, the Treasury shall not make any payment for
any portion of the amount of such losses that exceeds $100 billion.
10-02- 1281 (Ed. 03/2015)
If aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act exceed
$100 billion in a calendar year and we have met our insurer deductible under the Act,
we shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of the amount of such losses that
exceeds $100 billion, and in such case insured losses up to that amount are subject to
pro rata allocation in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary of the
Treasury.
The portion of your policy’s annual premium that is attributable to insurance for such acts
of terrorism is: $

Limit of Liability Deductible
11. The Company's maximum liability for all Loss on account of each Claim covered under one or
more of the Insuring Clauses shall be the Limit of Liability set forth in Item 3(A) of the Declarations.
The Company's maximum aggregate liability for all Loss on account of all Claims first made

Aggregate Limit of Liability for each Policy Period set forth in Item 3(B) of the Declarations.
Defense Costs are part of, and not in addition to, the Limits of Liability set forth in Item 3 of the
Declarations, and the payment by the Company of Defense Costs shall reduce and may exhaust

Loss which is excess of the applicable Deductible Amount set forth in Item 4 of the Declarations.
Such Deductible Amount shall be borne by the Insureds uninsured and at their own risk.

reduce, by the amount of the payment, the Company’s Limit of Liability under this Policy with
respect to such Claim.

PROTECTION POLICY
Presumptive Indemnification
13. If the Organization:
a. fails or refuses, other than for reason of Financial Impairment, to indemnify the Insured
Person for Loss; and
b. is permitted or required to indemnify the Insured Person for such Loss pursuant to the fullest
extent permitted by law,
then, notwithstanding any other conditions, provisions or terms of this Policy to the contrary, any
payment by the Company of such Loss shall be subject to:
i. the applicable Insuring Clause Deductible Amount set forth in Item 4 of the Declarations; and
ii. all of the Exclusions in this Policy.
Defense and Settlement
14. It shall be the duty of the Insured and not the duty of the Company to defend any Claim made
against the Insured.
The Company may make any investigation it deems necessary and may, with the written consent
of the Parent Organization, on behalf of the Insured, make any settlement of a Claim it deems
expedient.
The Insured agrees not to settle or offer to settle any Claim, incur any Defense Costs or
otherwise assume any contractual obligation or admit any liability with respect to any Claim
without the Company's prior written consent. The Company shall in no event be liable for any
element of Loss incurred, for any obligation assumed, or for any admission made, by any Insured
without the Company's prior written consent. Provided the Insured complies with the obligations
set forth in the next two paragraphs, the Company shall not unreasonably withhold any such
consent.
With respect to any Claim that appears reasonably likely to be covered in whole or in part under
this Policy, the Company shall have the right and shall be given the opportunity to effectively
associate with, and to be consulted in advance by, the Insured regarding the investigation,
defense and settlement of such Claim, including but not limited to selecting appropriate defense
counsel and negotiating any settlement.
The Insured agrees to provide the Company with all information, assistance and cooperation
which the Company reasonably requests and agrees that in the event of a Claim the Insured
shall do nothing that may prejudice the Company’s position or its potential or actual rights of
recovery.
The Company shall advance Defense Costs as provided under Section 15 of this Policy on a
current basis. Any advancement of Defense Costs shall be repaid to the Company by the
Insured, severally according to their respective interests, if and to the extent it is determined that
such Defense Costs are not insured under this Policy.

PROTECTION POLICY
Allocation
15. If both Loss covered by this Policy and loss not covered by this Policy are incurred, either
because a Claim against the Insured includes both covered and uncovered matters or covered
and uncovered parties, then the Insured and the Company shall allocate such amount between
covered Loss and uncovered loss based upon the relative legal and financial exposures of the
parties to covered and non-covered matters and, in the event of a settlement in such Claim, also
based upon the relative benefits to the parties from such settlement. The Company shall not be
liable under this Policy for the portion of such amount allocated to non-covered loss.
If the Insured and the Company agree on an allocation of Defense Costs, the Company shall
advance on a current basis Defense Costs allocated to covered Loss. If the Insured and the
Company cannot agree on an allocation:
a. no presumption as to allocation shall exist in any arbitration, suit or other proceeding;
b. the Company shall advance on a current basis Defense Costs which the Company believes
to be covered under this Policy until a different allocation is negotiated, arbitrated or judicially
determined; and
c. the Company, if requested by the Insured, shall submit the dispute to binding arbitration. The
rules of the American Arbitration Association shall apply except with respect to the selection of
the arbitration panel, which shall consist of one arbitrator selected by the Insured, one
arbitrator selected by the Company, and a third independent arbitrator selected by the first two
arbitrators.
Any negotiated, arbitrated or judicially determined allocation of Defense Costs on account of a
Claim shall be applied retroactively to all Defense Costs on account of such Claim,
notwithstanding any prior advancement to the contrary. Any allocation or advancement of
Defense Costs on account of a Claim shall not apply to or create any presumption with respect to
the allocation of other Loss on account of such Claim.
As a condition of any payment of Defense Costs the Company may, at its sole option, require a
written undertaking on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company guaranteeing the
repayment of any Defense Costs paid to or on behalf of any Insured if it is finally determined that
Loss incurred by such Insured would not be covered.
Reporting and Notice
16. The Insured shall, as a condition precedent to exercising any right to coverage under this Policy,
give to the Company written notice of any Claim as soon as practicable, but in no event more than
sixty (60) days after the earliest of the following dates:
a. the date on which any Organization's chief financial officer, in-house general counsel,
president, chief executive officer, chairperson, general partner or managing member first
becomes aware that the Claim has been made; or
b. if this Policy is not renewed by the Company, the termination date of the Policy Period or, if
exercised, the Extended Reporting Period.

If, during the Policy Period an Insured:
i. becomes aware of circumstances which could give rise to a Claim and gives written notice of
such circumstances to the Company; or
ii. receives a written request to toll or waive a statute of limitations applicable to Wrongful Acts
occurring before or during the Policy Period and gives written notice of such request and of
such alleged Wrongful Acts to the Company,
then any Claim subsequently arising from the circumstances referred to in i. above or from the
Wrongful Acts referred to in ii. above, shall be deemed to have been first made during the Policy
Period in which the written notice described in i. or ii. above was first given by an Insured to the
Company, provided any such subsequent Claim is reported to the Company as set forth under
this Section 16. With respect to any such subsequent Claim, no coverage under this Policy shall
apply to loss incurred prior to the date such subsequent Claim is actually made.
The Insured shall, as a condition precedent to exercising any right to coverage under this Policy,
give to the Company such information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably require,
and shall include in any notice under this Section 16 a description of the Claim, circumstances,
the nature of any alleged Wrongful Acts, the nature of the alleged or potential damage, the
names of all actual or potential claimants, the names of all actual or potential defendants, and the
manner in which such Insured first became aware of the Claim or circumstances.

Other Insurance
18. With respect to coverage provided by Insuring Clause 1, 2 and 3, if any Loss under this Policy is
insured under any other valid and collectible insurance policy(ies), then this Policy shall cover
such Loss, subject to its limitations, conditions, provisions and other terms, only to the extent that
the amount of such Loss is in excess of the applicable retention (or deductible) and limit of liability
under such other insurance, whether such other insurance is stated to be primary, contributory,
excess, contingent or otherwise, unless such other

insurance is written only as specific excess insurance over the Limits of Liability provided in this
Policy. Any payment by Insureds of a retention or deductible under such other insurance shall
deplete, by the amount of such payment, the applicable Deductible Amount under this Policy.
With respect to coverage provided by Insuring Clause 4, this Policy shall be specifically excess of
any indemnity (other than the indemnity provided by the Organization) and insurance available to
such Insured Person by reason of serving in an Outside Capacity, including any indemnity or
insurance available from or provided by the Outside Entity.
Acquisition or Creation of Another Organization
19. If before or during the Policy Period the Organization:
a. acquires securities or voting rights in another organization or creates another organization,
which as a result of such acquisition or creation becomes a Subsidiary or Investment
Holding Company; or
b. acquires another organization by merger into or consolidation with an Organization,
then such other organization and its Insured Persons shall be Insureds under this Policy, but
only with respect to Wrongful Acts or Interrelated Wrongful Acts where all or part of such acts
occurred after such acquisition or creation unless the Company agrees, after presentation of a
complete application and all other appropriate information, to provide coverage by endorsement
for Wrongful Acts occurring before such acquisition or creation.
If the fair value of all cash, securities, assumed indebtedness and other consideration paid by the
Organization for any such acquired organization, new Subsidiary or new Investment Holding
Company exceeds fifteen percent (15%) of the total assets of the Parent Organization (as
reflected in the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of such organization and the
Parent Organization, respectively as of the date of such acquisition or creation), then the Parent
Organization shall give written notice of such acquisition or creation to the Company as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of such acquisition or creation,
together with such information as the Company may require and shall pay any reasonable
additional premium required by the Company. If the Parent Organization fails to give such notice
within the time specified in the preceding sentence, or fails to pay the additional premium required
by the Company, then coverage for such acquired or created organization and its Insured
Persons shall terminate with respect to Claims first made more than sixty (60) days after such
acquisition or creation.
Acquisition of an Organization By Another Organization
20. If:
a. the Parent Organization or a Private Fund merges into or consolidates with another
organization;
b. another organization, person or group of organizations or persons acting in concert acquires
securities or voting rights which result in ownership or voting control by the other organization
or person of more than 50% of the outstanding securities representing the present right to vote
for election of directors or select general partners or managing members of the Parent
Organization or a Private Fund;

PROTECTION POLICY
c. the Parent Organization completely ceases to actively engage in its primary business
(“cessation”); or
d. Financial Impairment occurs,
then coverage under this Policy shall continue until termination of this Policy but only with respect
to Claims where all or part of the Wrongful Acts or Interrelated Wrongful Acts occurred prior to
such merger, consolidation, acquisition, cessation or Financial Impairment. The Parent
Organization shall give written notice of such merger, consolidation, acquisition, cessation or
Financial Impairment to the Company as soon as practicable, together with such information as
the Company may require. The full annual Premium for the Policy Period shall be deemed fully
earned immediately upon the occurrence of any event outlined in a. through d. above.
Cessation of Subsidiaries
21. If an organization ceases to be a Subsidiary, then coverage with respect to such Subsidiary and
its Insured Persons shall continue until termination of this Policy, but only with respect to
Wrongful Acts occurring prior to the date such organization ceased to be a Subsidiary.
Creation of Another Private Fund
22. If during the Policy Period, an Organization sponsors or creates another private investment fund
engaged in substantially similar activities as any Private Fund scheduled in Item 2 of the
Declarations, then such newly sponsored or created private investment fund and its Insured
Persons shall be Insureds under this Policy for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of
sponsorship or creation, but only with respect to Wrongful Acts or Interrelated Wrongful Acts
where all or part of such acts occurred after such sponsorship or creation. The Parent
Organization shall give written notice of such sponsorship or creation to the Company as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of such sponsorship or
creation, together with such information as the Company may require and shall pay any
reasonable additional premium required by the Company. If the Parent Organization fails to give
such notice within the time specified in the preceding sentence, or fails to pay the additional
premium required by the Company, then coverage for such sponsored or created private
investment fund and its Insured Persons shall terminate with respect to Claims first made more
than sixty (60) days after such acquisition or creation.
