Discovery also occurs when Risk Management Department, Human Resources, General Counsel, Internal Audit Department or the functional equivalent of any 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.
| 2. | Paragraph (a) of the NOTICE/PROOF – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST UNDERWRITER section is replaced with the following: |
| (a) | At the earliest practicable moment, not to exceed 60 days after discovery of loss by Risk Management Department, Human Resources, General Counsel, Internal Audit Department or the functional equivalent of any Insured, the Insured shall give the Underwriter notice thereof. |

It is agreed that:
| 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 issubject to the following provisions: |
| 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: |
| (1) | 20 days before the effective date of cancellation if the underwriter/company cancels for any reason not included in paragraph (2) below. |
| (2) | 15 days before the effective date of cancellation if the underwriter/company cancels for any of the following reasons: |
| (i) | Nonpayment of premium provided, however, that a notice of cancellation for this reason shall inform the Insured of the amount due; |
| (ii) | Conviction of a crime arising out of acts increasing the hazard insured against; |
| (iii) | Discovery of fraud or material misrepresentation in the obtaining of the bond/policy or in the presentation of a claim; |
| (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; |
| (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; |
| (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; |
| (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 |
| (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. |
| 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 |

| d. | If this bond/policy is canceled, the underwriter/company will send the first named Insured any premium refund due. If the underwriter/company cancels, the refund will be pro rata. If the first named Insured cancels, the refund may be less than pro rata. However, when the premium is advanced under a premium finance agreement, the cancellation refund will be pro rata. Under such financed policies, the underwriter/company will be entitled to 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. |
| 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. |
| 2. | Renewal or nonrenewal of this bond/policy by the Underwriter/Company is subject to the following provisions: |
| a. | If the underwriter/company decides not to renew this bond/policy, it will send notice as provided in paragraph c. below. |

| c. | If the underwriter/company decides not to renew this bond/policy, or to conditionally renew this bond/policy as provided in paragraph 2.b. above, the underwriter/company will mail or deliver written notice to the first named Insured shown in the Declarations at least 60 days, but not more than 120 days, before the expiration date of the bond/policy or, the anniversary date if this is a continuous bond/policy. |
| d. | Notice will be mailed or delivered to the first named Insured at the address shown in the bond/policy and to the authorized agent or broker. If notice is mailed, proof of mailing will be sufficient proof of notice. |
| e. | Notice will include the availability of loss information and the specific reason(s) for nonrenewal or conditional renewal, including the amount of any premium increase for conditional renewal and a description of any other changes. |
| f. | If the underwriter/company violates the provisions of paragraph c. above by sending the first named Insured an incomplete or late conditional renewal notice or a late nonrenewal notice: |
| (1) | prior 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 lower of the current rates or the prior period’s rates until 60 days after such notice is mailed or delivered, unless the first named Insured, during this 60 day period, has replaced the coverage or elects to cancel; provided, however, that if the insured elects to renew on the basis of a conditional renewal notice and 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 |
| (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. |
| g. | The underwriter/company need not send notice of nonrenewal or conditional renewal if the first named Insured, its |

(hereinafter “Other Blackstone Bond”), or if coverage would be provided but for the exhaustion of the limit of liability or the applicability of the deductible of the Other Blackstone Bond, the Limit of Liability provided by virtue of this bond shall be reduced by the limit of liability provided under the Other Blackstone Bond.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event the Other Blackstone Bond has a provision like this one, then the above paragraph will not apply, but instead:
| (a) | the Underwriter shall not be liable under this bond for a greater proportion of the loss than the applicable Limit of Liability under this bond bears to the total limit of liability of all such bonds; and |
| (b) | the maximum amount payable under all such bonds shall not exceed the limit of liability of the bond which has the highest available limit of liability. |
Nothing contained in this rider shall be construed to increase the Limits of Liability shown in in Items 3 and 4 of the Declarations, which shall in all events be the maximum liability of the Underwriter under this bond.
All other provisions of the bond remain unchanged.
