Two or more Claims arising out of a single Employment Wrongful Act or a series of related Employment Wrongful Acts shall be treated as a single Claim. All such Claims shall be treated as though first made when the earliest such Claim was first made. In the event of a Claim based on, arising from, attributable to or in any way related to an Employment Investigation in respect of which Legal Representation Expenses have been incurred, such Claim shall be treated as though first made at the time the attendance of an Insured at such Employment Investigation was first requested. 4.2 Retention The Insurer s liability for each and every Claim or Employment Investigation against the Company shall apply only to that part of Loss which is in excess of the retention shown in Item 4 of the Schedule. No retention shall apply to a Claim or Employment Investigation which is made solely against a Natural Person Insured. If a Claim or Employment Investigation is first made jointly against both a Natural Person Insured and the Company then the retention show in Item 4 of the Schedule shall apply to such Loss. If applicable, the retention shall be borne by the Company uninsured and at their own risk. 4.3 Claims and Legal Representation Expenses (i) It is a condition precedent to the Insurer s Liability to pay Loss under this policy in respect of a Claim or Employment Investigation that the Insured gives written notice to the Insurer of such Claim or Employment Investigation as soon as practicable. In all events, notification must be given no later than 45 days after the expiration of the Policy Period, or, in relation to a Claim or Employment Investigation first made against the Insured during the Discovery Period, no later than expiry of the Discovery Period. (ii) The Insured shall give the Insurer such information and co-operation as it may reasonably require. Notice and all information shall be sent in writing to the Insurer at 2 nd Floor, 5 Georges Dock, IFSC, Dublin 1. (iii) The Insured shall not do anything to prejudice any of the Insurer s rights nor shall they admit liability for or settle any Claim or incur Defence Costs or Legal Representation Expenses without the Insurer s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Insurer s prior written consent shall not be needed for the Insured to incur Defence Costs within the retention shown in Item 4 of the Schedule that are necessary in completing and returning a response form to an Employment Tribunal. (iv) The Insured shall have the right and duty to defend and contest any Claim. The Insurer shall at all times have the right, but not the duty, to effectively associate in the defence or settlement of any Claim or the incurring of Legal Representation Expenses to which this policy may apply and to be given the opportunity to consult with the Insured in relation to proposed action that the Insured may wish to take in relation to such Claim or Legal Representation Expenses. Elite EPL(ROI)_1 7 i.07

(v) If during the Policy Period the Insured shall become aware of any circumstances that might give rise to a Claim and during such period give notice of the same as soon as practicable to the Insurer, then any Claim later made against any Insured shall for the purposes of this policy be treated as a Claim made during the Policy Period. A notice under this sub-paragraph must describe as precisely as possible the material facts or circumstances including the reasons for anticipating a Claim, full particulars as to dates and persons involved and an estimate of quantum 4.4 Advancement and Allocation of Defence Costs (i) The Insurer shall advance Defence Costs on an ongoing basis prior to the final payment or settlement of any Claim and shall advance Legal Representation Expenses; provided that: (a) such Defence Costs or Legal Representation Expenses are incurred with the written consent of the Insurer; and (b) such advance payments by the Insurer shall be repaid to the Insurer in the event that the Insured is not entitled to payment of such Loss or part of such Loss under the policy (the Limit of Liability shown in Item 3(a) of the Schedule shall be reduced by such amount until repaid to the Insurer). (ii) In the event of: (a) a Claim or Employment Investigation against an Insured which is not wholly covered by this policy and/or (b) a Claim or Employment Investigation against an Insured being also made against one or more persons who are not Insureds and/or the Insurer and the Insured shall then use their best endeavours to determine a reasonable allocation of Loss that is covered under this policy and loss comprising damages, settlements, defence costs or other costs that is not covered. (iii) In the event of a dispute as to allocation under sub-paragraph (ii) above, the Insurer at its option or if requested by the Insured shall submit the dispute to binding arbitration before a panel consisting of one arbitrator selected by the Insured, one arbitrator selected by the Insurer and a third independent arbitrator selected by the first two. Such arbitration shall be conducted under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration, the Rules of which are hereby deemed incorporated. 4.5 Takeovers and Mergers If during the Policy Period a Transaction takes place then: (i) the company shown in Item 1 of the Schedule shall give written notice of the same to the Insurer within 30 days of the effective date of such Transaction; and (ii) the cover provided under this policy shall apply only to Employment Wrongful Acts committed prior to the effective date of such Transaction. 4.6 Other Insurance If an Insured is or would (but for the existence of this policy ) be entitled to cover under any other policy (save for insurance specifically arranged to apply in excess of this policy) in respect of any Claim or Employment Investigation, the Insurer shall not be liable for Loss other than in excess of any amount that is or would (but for the existence of this policy) have been payable under any other such policy. 4.7 Subrogation In the event the Insurer makes any payment under this policy, the Insurer shall be subrogated to all of the Insured s rights of recovery, and the Insured shall co-operate with the Insurer in securing such rights. The Insured shall not do anything to prejudice the Insurer s ability to assert such rights. The Insurer shall not exercise any rights of subrogation against a Natural Person Insured unless it is established that such Natural Person Insured has committed a dishonest or fraudulent act. Elite EPL(ROI)_1 8 i.07

4.8 Authorisation The company shown in Item 1 of the Schedule hereby agrees to act on behalf of all Insureds with respect to the giving and receiving of notice of a Claim or an Employment Investigation, the payment of premiums and the receiving of any return premium that may become due under this policy, the negotiation, agreement to and acceptance of endorsements, and the giving or receiving of any notice provided for in this policy and each Insured agrees that the Company shall so act on his or her behalf. 4.9 Non-assignment No change in, modification of, or assignment of interest under this policy shall be effective unless made by written endorsement to this policy duly executed on behalf of the Insurer. 4.10 Policy Interpretation This policy shall be governed by Irish law. The Insurer and the Insured agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts in relation to all disputes arising out of, relating to or connected with this policy and/or its negotiation, validity or enforceability. 5. Discovery Period (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) If either the company shown in Item 1 of the Schedule or the Insurer refuses to renew this policy, it may upon payment of 75% of the annual premium extend the cover under this policy for a period of 12 months from the date on which the Policy Period expires, for any Claim or Employment Investigation first made against the Insured during the Discovery Period, but only in respect of Employment Wrongful Acts committed or alleged to have been committed prior to expiry of the Policy Period. The right to purchase the Discovery Period as set out above must be exercised by notice to the Insurer in writing within 30 days of the expiration of the Policy Period, and is only effective upon payment of the above sum The Insurer s offer of renewal terms, conditions, limits of liability or premium different from those of the expiring policy shall not constitute a refusal to renew. The Insurer shall not be liable to make payment in respect of any Claim or Employment Investigation first made against the Insured during the Discovery Period if at any time the Company obtains any other policy insuring similar risks covering the whole or any part of the Discovery Period. 6. Proposal form disclosure and severability The Insurer has relied upon the Proposal in granting cover under this policy. Such Proposal shall form the basis of this contract. However, the Proposal shall be construed as a separate proposal by each Insured and with respect to statements and particulars in the Proposal no statements made or information possessed by any Insured shall be imputed to any other Insured to determine whether cover is available for that other Insured. Elite EPL(ROI)_1 9 i.07

7. Extensions 7.1 Cover for Subsidiaries (i) If during the Policy Period the company shown in Item 1 of the Schedule acquires or creates a Subsidiary that: (a) (b) increases the Company s total number of Workers by no greater than 20%; and has no Workers or assets in the U.S.A. then cover shall apply automatically in respect of such Subsidiary for Claims or Employment Investigations occurring on or after the effective date of such acquisition or creation, without notice to the Insurer or additional premium being payable. (ii) The Insurer may provide cover under this policy for a Subsidiary, the acquisition or creation of which during the Policy Period is not in accordance with (i) above, but such cover shall only be available if the Insurer so decides in its sole discretion and shall be subject to such additional terms, conditions, exclusions or premium as it may require. 7.2 Outside Directorships (i) Cover under this policy is extended (subject to the Insuring Agreement and the other terms and conditions of this policy and subject to the overall aggregate Limit of Liability) to a director or officer of the Company who at the specific request of the Company: (a) at the date of inception of the Policy Period was a director, officer, trustee, governor or equivalent of any Outside Entity; or (b) becomes a director, officer, trustee, governor or equivalent of any Outside Entity during the Policy Period. (ii) Cover under sub-paragraph (i) above shall be excess of any indemnification provided by the Outside Entity and shall be specifically excess of any valid and collectible insurance in force in respect of the Outside Entity and its directors, officers, trustees, governors or equivalents. If such insurance is provided by any member of the ACE group of companies (or would be provided except for the application of the retention amount or the exhaustion of the Limit of Liability), then the total aggregate Limit of Liability for all Loss covered by virtue of this extension shall be reduced by the amount paid for the benefit of the Outside Entity and its directors, officers, trustees, governors or equivalents under the other ACE insurance provided to the Outside Entity. (iii) As respects cover under sub-paragraph (i) above the Insurer shall not be liable to make any payment for Loss in connection with any Claim brought against an Insured by an Outside Entity or by any director, officer, trustee, governor or equivalent or by any shareholder of the Outside Entity. 7.3 Additional Limit of Liability for Legal Representation Expenses The Additional Limit of Liability stated in Item 3(b) of the Schedule, if any, shall be an Additional Limit of Liability for that part of Loss constituting Legal Representation Expenses incurred in connection with matters claimed under Insuring Agreement 1(B). The Additional Limit of Liability shall be in addition to and not part of the Limit of Liability stated in Item 3(a) of the Schedule. Loss constituting Legal Representation Expenses shall first reduce the Additional Limit of Liability stated in Item 3(b) of the Schedule. Should the Additional Limit of Liability stated in Item 3(b) of the Schedule become exhausted or be stated as none then subsequent Legal Representation Expenses will reduce the Limit of Liability stated in Item 3(a).
