1. Each "Glitch" Limit

Subject to A.2. below, the Each "Glitch" Limit stated in the Declarations is the most we will pay for any combination of "claim expenses" and "damages" for the total of all "claims" made during the "coverage period", including any applicable Extended Reporting Period, arising from one "glitch", regardless of the number of:

a. "You" this coverage part insures;

b. "Claims" that are made; or

c. Persons or entities making "claims". The Each "Glitch" Limit is not reduced by the Retention.

2. Aggregate Limit The Aggregate Limit stated in the Declarations is the most we will pay for any combination of "claim expenses" and "damages" for the total of all "claims" made during the "coverage period", including any applicable Extended Reporting Period, regardless of the number of:

a. "You" this coverage part insures;

b. "Claims" that are made;

c. Persons or entities making "claims"; or

2. The Retention will not be reduced by the payment of any deductible amount or any amount retained by any of "you" under any other policy of insurance; and the Retention will not be reduced by any payment made on "your" behalf by another person or entity.

3. The Retention will not reduce the Limits of Liability. "You" will pay the full amount of the Retention for each "glitch" to appropriate parties as directed by us. If we advance any such payments, "you" will reimburse us within thirty (30) days of our written demand. If "you" fail to make direct payments or to reimburse us as described above, all of "you" against whom the "claim" has been made and the "named insured" are individually and collectively responsible for paying us back for any advance payments we have made and for interest, attorney’s fees and costs associated with our collection of the money.

1. Provide coverage for "claims" that are both first made and reported in writing to us during the applicable Extended Reporting Period. But this applies only if all of the following conditions are also met:

We will automatically provide a Basic Extended Reporting Period if this coverage part is:

3. Renewed by us with insurance that does not apply on a claims made or claims made and reported basis.

The Basic Extended Reporting Period begins with the end of the "coverage period" and lasts for sixty (60) days. The Basic Extended Reporting Period is provided at no charge.

Under this provision, "you" have sixty (60) days after the end of the "coverage period" to report to us in writing "claims" first made against any of "you" during the Basic Extended Reporting Period. All such "claims" reported will be deemed to have been made and reported on the last day of the "coverage period".

"Claims" reported to us after that sixty (60) day period will not be covered unless the "first named insured" purchases an Optional Extended Reporting Period described in item C. below.

1. For an additional premium, we will offer an Optional Extended Reporting Period endorsement, unless this coverage part is cancelled for non-payment of premium, non-payment of Retention or for "your" failure to comply with policy provisions.

2. If the Optional Extended Reporting Period endorsement is purchased, "you" have the period of time, stated in the endorsement, after the end of the "coverage period" to report "claims" first made against any of "you" during the Optional Extended Reporting Period. All such "claims" reported will be deemed to have been made and reported on the last day of the "coverage period". The Optional Extended Reporting Period begins with the end of the "coverage period" and lasts for the period of time stated in the endorsement.

3. Optional Extended Reporting Period coverage is available only if:

a. The "first named insured" has paid all premiums and Retentions due for this coverage part at the time the "first named insured" requests an Optional Extended Reporting Period endorsement;

4. Upon receipt of the “first named insured’s” written request made in accordance with provision 3.b. above, we will provide the "first named insured" an offer for the Optional Extended Reporting Period, for a period no greater than five years and for an additional premium no greater than 200% of the annual premium.

5. Once in effect, the Optional Extended Reporting Period cannot be cancelled. We need not return any part of the premium paid for any reason whatsoever.

6. Premium for the Optional Extended Reporting Period will be determined by taking into account the following: The exposures insured; Previous types and amounts of insurance; Limits of Liability available under this coverage part for future payment of “glitches” and “claim expenses”; and Other related factors.

B. Currency

If "damages" or "claim expenses" are paid in a currency other than United States dollars, payment will be considered to have been made in United States dollars at the rate of exchange that was used for the payment. If no actual currency exchange was made, then the rate of exchange will be the rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the day following the date that payment was made.

C. Bankruptcy
