AMEND INSURING AGREEMENT A
It is agreed that Fidelity Section (A) is deleted and the following is inserted:
(A) | Loss resulting directly from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by an Employee acting alone or in collusion with others. Such dishonest or fraudulent acts must be committed by the Employee with the manifest intent: |
(a) | to cause the Insured to sustain such loss; or |
(b) | to obtain financial benefit for the Employee or another person or entity. |
It is agreed that loss resulting from the intentional transfer of Property to the benefit of an innocent third party, committed by the Employee in the knowledge that such third party was not lawfully entitled to such Property and which Property is not lawfully recoverable by the Insured, shall be deemed to be a loss which meets the requirements of this Insuring Agreement. Such loss must result from acts committed by the Employee with the intent to cause the Insured to sustain such loss.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, it is agreed that with regard to Loans or Trading, this bond covers only loss resulting directly from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by any Employee with the intent to cause the Insured to sustain such loss and which results in a financial benefit for the Employee; or results in an improper financial benefit for another person or entity with whom the Employee committing the dishonest or fraudulent act was in collusion, provided that the Insured establishes that the Employee intended to participate in the financial benefit.
For the purpose of this Insuring Agreement, Loans means all extensions of credit by an Insured, all transactions creating a creditor relationship in favor of an Insured, and all transactions by which the Insureds assume an existing creditor relationship.
For the purpose of this Insuring Agreement, Trading means trading or other dealings in securities, commodities, futures, options, foreign or Federal Funds, currencies, foreign exchange and the like.
As used throughout this Insuring Agreement, financial benefit does not include any employee benefits earned in the normal course of employment, including salaries, commissions, fees, bonuses, promotions, awards, profit sharing or pensions.
All other terms and conditions of this bond remain unchanged.

4. | If money or other property of two or more Employee Welfare or Pension Benefit Plans covered under the bond is commingled, recovery for loss of such money or other property through fraudulent or dishonest acts of Employees shall be shared by such Plans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amount for which each such Plan is required to carry bonding coverage in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Regulations. |
5. | The Deductible Amount of this bond applicable to loss sustained by a Plan through acts committed by an Employee of the Plan shall be waived, but only up to an amount equal to the amount of coverage required to be carried by the Plan because of compliance with the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. |
