No fact, circumstance, situation or incident indicating the probability of a claim or action for which coverage may be afforded
by the proposed insurance is now known by any person(s) or organization(s) proposed for this insurance other than that
which is disclosed in this application. It is agreed by all concerned that if there be knowledge of any such fact, circumstance,
situation, incident or allegation of negligence or wrongdoing, any claim subsequently emanating there from shall be
excluded from coverage under the proposed insurance.
The policy applied for is SOLELY AS STATED IN THE POLICY, if issued, which provides coverage on a claims made basis
for ONLY THOSE “CLAIMS” THAT ARE FIRST MADE AGAINST THE INSURED DURING THE POLICY PERIOD, unless
an automatic extended reporting period is available or the extended reporting period option is exercised in accordance with
the terms of the policy. The policy has specific provisions detailing claim reporting requirements.
New York Notice: This application is for claims-made coverage. There shall be no coverage for “Claims” arising out of
“Wrongful Acts” or “Personal Injuries” which took place prior to the “Retroactive Date”. Upon termination of coverage for any
reason, a sixty-day Automatic Extended Reporting Period will apply. For an additional premium, an Optional Extended
Reporting Period of thirty-six months can be purchased. There is no coverage for “Claims” first made against the Insured
after the ”Policy Period” or Automatic Extended Reporting Period unless the Optional Extended Reporting Period is
purchased. Gaps in coverage may arise if the policy is not replaced with comparable claims-made coverage upon expiration
of either the policy or Optional Extended Reporting Period, if purchased.
During the first several years of claims-made coverage, claims-made rates are comparatively lower than occurrence rates,
and the insured can expect substantial annual premium increases, independent of overall rate level increases, until the
claims made risk reaches full maturity.
