PrivateEdge Plus: Market-leading management and professional liability coverage package for private companies.

PrivateEdge Plus PrivateEdge Plus is a flexible insurance package that allows private companies of any size to obtain market-leading management and professional liability coverages tailored precisely to provide the protection needed for the risks that threaten their company, management, employees, board of directors and others. Companies are allowed to choose one or more of the following seven coverages and combine them in one comprehensive program, with shared or separate limits: Directors, Officers and Private Company Liability Insurance Employment Practices Liability Insurance Fiduciary Liability Insurance Fidelity Insurance Miscellaneous Professional Liability Insurance Employed Lawyers Professional Liability Insurance Kidnap, Ransom and Extortion Insurance Ultra-Flexible and Easy Companies simply make selections based on their needs. No matter how many coverages chosen, there will be just one interactive online application and one point of contact from quote to bind. Consistent Excellence, From a World-Leading Underwriter The exceptionally broad coverage of PrivateEdge Plus comes with the industry-leading financial strength and unparalleled litigation management services of AIG which include: Access to the nation s premier attorneys to defend management and professional liability lawsuits Specialized services designed to mitigate ultimate damages and optimize claims recovery Training on sound workplace practices through EPL Pak Premier Crisis management expertise to help resolve kidnappings We have assembled a seasoned team of claims professionals who are experienced in managing some of the highest-profile D&O, E&O, employment practices, fiduciary, crime and technology cases in the industry, for entities of all sizes and across most industries-from Fortune 500 companies to not-for-profit organizations; multinational corporations to privately-held enterprises. Our centralized in-house operation, positioned adjacent to our underwriting colleagues, allows us to facilitate prompt case resolution and the best possible claim outcomes. We offer access to some of the nation's leading law firms specializing in the defense of securities, employment practices, fiduciary and technology claims. And in the toughest environment, policyholders can count on our aggressive litigation strategies to defeat even the most formidable plaintiff's attorneys.

Kidnap, Ransom and Extortion Kidnapping and extortion are significant threats to companies and those who serve them around the world. Most vulnerable are companies with workers based or traveling overseas, high profile companies, operations that handle large amounts of cash, or that work with sensitive information or technology. Though rarely publicized, these incidents happen frequently in the U.S., as well. Properly managing a kidnapping, extortion or hijacking incident is essential in protecting the life and well-being of the victim as well as the organization s assets, yet companies typically do not have the experience and resources to manage and resolve these incidents successfully. The Kidnap, Ransom and Extortion (KRE) insurance coverage section of PrivateEdge Plus protects companies against the financial loss that can arise when an insured is seized or detained for ransom (including during a hijacking) or payment demands following a threat to the company, its data or to an insured person. Among the covered losses are death and dismemberment benefits; ransom/extortion payment; transit payment; judgments, settlements and defense costs; business interruption; consultant costs and related expenses ranging from salary continuation to medical costs. Consultant Expenses Ransom/Extortion Monies Death and Dismemberment Payment Transit and Delivery Cost of Payment 24-Hour Emergency Response Help Line Judgments, Settlements and Defense Costs Properly managing a kidnapping, extortion or hijacking incident is essential in protecting the life and well-being of the victim as well as the organization s assets. Prevention Services We realize that providing value to our insureds begins with thoughtful prevention. We utilize a leading KRE incident preparedness firm to enhance our KRE coverage by providing you with access to customized pre-incident planning. Such planning can reduce the likelihood that an individual will be targeted in a kidnapping or extortion scheme. The consultants can evaluate an individual s vulnerability and suggest practical strategies to help minimize potential weak points in one s activities or daily routine. Additionally, we offer access to a customized intelligence-based information service. This user-friendly program delivers country-specific, cultural, historical, medical, and security related information in a web-based format. This service contains detailed country information, city profiles, street maps for those cities, a searchable events database, a calendar of significant dates, general travel information and tips, and links to other relevant sites.

Employed Lawyers Professional Liability In the wake of highly-publicized corporate scandals, courts, legislators and regulators are imposing more rigorous standards by which corporate counsels are judged. Corporate counsels are therefore at an increased risk of being personally named in a civil, administrative, or criminal proceeding and face unprecedented liability exposure from a wide variety of claimants. The claims can range from civil or criminal actions brought by regulators and agencies, to licensing actions by state bar associations, to damages sought as a result of legal services provided to employers or others. The Corporate Counsel Premier coverage section of PrivateEdge Plus protects the personal assets of corporate attorneys in claims alleging professional malpractice, whether these claims are initiated by clients, shareholders, employees or other third parties. The policy includes as insureds not only past, present and future corporate counsel, but also legal staff and contract App User Benefits attorneys.

Miscellaneous Professional Liability A professional s chance of being sued grows greater every day, no matter how competent or conscientious they may be. Clients expect more from professional service providers than ever before and are quick to allege negligence, misrepresentation or inaccurate advice when a professional s performance falls short of expectations. Legitimate or not, these claims can lead to lengthy and expensive litigation, not to mention enormous damage awards. Settlements or defense costs alone can be devastating to a professional service firm of any size. The miscellaneous professional liability coverage section of PrivateEdge Plus is designed to shield professionals in this litigious environment. The policy provides coverage to professional service providers for claims alleging negligence arising from fee-based professional services. Coverage also extends to economic losses sustained by others as a result of the insured s alleged negligence.

Fiduciary Liability Employees, their beneficiaries, and regulators now routinely seek to hold individuals personally responsible if they perceive mismanagement or improper handling of pension and welfare benefit plans. Lawsuits alleging imprudent plan investment or misrepresentation by fiduciaries have become commonplace. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), which governs employee benefit plans and regulates fiduciary responsibility, has been steadily amended to expand protection for plan participants, thus making fiduciaries significantly more accountable. Even routine management decisions can lead to personal liability for a company s directors and officers. The fiduciary coverage section of PrivateEdge Plus provides the high level of fiduciary liability coverage growing businesses need. The policy protects the business owners, directors, officers and employees, the plan sponsor, and the plan itself against allegations of breaches of fiduciary duty and errors in plan administration. Coverage addresses a wide variety of claims and provides unique flexibility and support in managing litigation and mitigating losses. The policy covers, with no listing, pension and welfare plans, including plans that are sold or terminated during the policy period, as well as qualified and non-qualified plans. No penalty for failure to consent to claimant/plaintiff settlement offer deemed acceptable by Insurer Flexible claims reporting provision allows claims to be reported up to 90 days post policy expiration, provided that they are reported as soon as practical Investment Loss coverage is provided in the policy No Prior Acts Exclusion in the base form Additional Coverages Available for Fiduciary Insureds Advancement of Loss within the retention Improper selection of third-party service providers Labor management Relations Act ( LMRA ) coverage Flexible reporting of governmental fact-finding investigations Flexible reporting of internal appeals of benefit denials Health care reform penalty coverage HIPAA penalty coverage increased to $1.5 million Pension Protection Act, ERISA Section 502(c), and IRS Section 4975 penalty coverage Non-rescindable coverage for insured persons non-indemnified loss Full severability of all exclusions for all insureds PrivateEdge Plus application Most recent financial statement for applicant Financials for five largest pension plans by asset size

Employment Practices Liability Employment practices claims have become commonplace for companies of all sizes, and even routine settlements in these claims can bankrupt growing businesses. Meanwhile, recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings impose greater liability on employers in discrimination lawsuits. The employment practices liability coverage section of PrivateEdge Plus addresses the wide variety of claims commonly brought by employees against private companies, including lawsuits alleging wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation and other employment practices violations. Coverage applies to the company and many of the individuals who are frequently named in these suits. Covered employees include full-time, part-time, temporary and seasonal workers; past and present employees; and applicants for employment. Coverage is also provided for Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program (OFCCP) proceedings and investigations. Access to EPL Pak Premier services including: Management education An initial one-hour legal consultation on human resources and employment law issues e-alerts on significant legislative actions, judicial decisions and other potentially impactful changes Precision-targeted CA AB 1825 training for companies with 50 or more employees in California to fulfill their mandate of providing sexual harassment training for supervisors every two years Third-party discrimination and sexual-harassment coverage (e.g., customers and clients) Punitive damage coverage 1 Coverage for leased employees and independent contractors Coverage for front- and back-pay claims Flexible claims reporting provision allows claims to be reported up to 90 days post policy expiration, provided that they are reported as soon as practical Additional Coverages Available for Employment Practices Insureds Coverage for harassment, discrimination and other employment-related company liability from actual or alleged acts by employees on the Internet whether on or off the job Innovative claims saving feature preserves coverage for civil claims that relate back to an EEOC or USERRA proceeding that inadvertently went unreported under a prior AIG policy Definition of employment practices violation encompasses a wide range of claims from workplace bullying to discrimination in violation of 2009 s Genetic Information Non Discrimination Act (GINA) PrivateEdge Plus application Most recent financial statement for applicant Side A Excess Financial Lines insurance 1 Where insurable by law.

Directors and Officers Private Liability Directors and Officers (D&O) of private companies, along with the entity(ies) they represent, are finding themselves under fire in lawsuits from numerous constituents, including employees, shareholders, customers, governmental bodies, and others. Despite this alarming trend, many private company directors and officers continue to underestimate the risks they face when taking on management responsibilities. Their quest to contribute to the company s bottom line by dealing with day-to-day operations or making general business decisions can leave them more vulnerable to lawsuits. Moreover, these lawsuits can have a particularly severe impact; since the directors, officers, and owners personal net worth is often tied directly to the long-term financial health of the company. The D&O coverage section of PrivateEdge Plus provides coverage to the company and many of the individuals who are frequently named in these suits, including past, present or future directors and officers, employees of the company and outside entity executives. No penalty for an insured s failure to consent to a claimant/plaintiff settlement offer deemed acceptable by the Insurer CrisisFund coverage offers access to top public relations consultants to help manage communications surround covered crisis events Coverage for investigative costs arising out of a shareholder derivative demand 1 Worldwide application of coverage Flexible claims reporting provision allows claims to be reported up to 90 days post policy expiration, provided that they are reported as soon as practical Automatic coverage for acquired Subsidiaries Dramatically narrowed Insured versus Insured exclusion PrivateEdge Plus application Most recent financial statement for applicant Side A Excess Financial Lines insurance 1 Subject to sublimits.
