            committed by the INSUREDS with actual dishonest purpose and intent

            (1)   any CLAIM by securities holders of the COMPANY in their

            agents of such other entity; however, this exclusion shall not
            apply with respect to any CLAIM for WRONGFUL ACTS by an INSURED
            serving a NON-PROFIT OUTSIDE ENTITY as described in Clause 2(e)(3)
            above.

      It is agreed that any fact pertaining to any INSURED shall not be imputed
      to any other INSURED for the purpose of determining the application of
      the Exclusions.

4.    APPEALS

      In the event the INSUREDS elect not to appeal a judgment, the INSURER may
      elect to make such appeal at its own expense, and shall be liable for any
      increased award, taxable costs and disbursements and any additional
      interest incidental to such appeal, to the extent such payments are not
      covered by other valid and collectible insurance.

5.    ARBITRATION

      (a)   My dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
            POLICY or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof shall be
            finally and fully determined in London, England under the
            provisions of the Arbitration Acts of 1950, 1975, 1979 and 1996,
            and/or any statutory modifications or amendments thereto, for the
            time being in force, by a Board composed of three arbitrators to be
            selected for each controversy as follows:

                  Any party may, in the event of a dispute, controversy or
                  claim, notify the other party or parties to such dispute,
                  controversy or claim of its desire to arbitrate the matter,
                  and at the time of such notification the party desiring
                  arbitration shall notify the other party or parties of the
                  name of the arbitrator selected by it. The other party who
                  has been so notified shall within thirty (30) calendar days
                  thereafter select an arbitrator and notify the party desiring
                  arbitration of the name of such second arbitrator.





                                       5
   10


                  If the party notified of a desire for arbitration shall fail
                  or refuse to nominate the second arbitrator within thirty
                  (30) calendar days following the receipt of such
                  notification, the party who first served notice of a desire
                  to arbitrate will, within an additional period of thirty (30)
                  calendar days, apply to a judge of the High Court of Justice
                  of England and Wales for the appointment of a second
                  arbitrator and in such a case the arbitrator appointed by
                  such a judge shall be deemed to have been nominated by the
                  party or parties who failed to select the second arbitrator.
                  The two arbitrators, chosen as above provided, shall within
                  thirty (30) calendar days after the appointment of the second
                  arbitrator choose a third arbitrator. In the event of the
                  failure of the first two arbitrators to agree on a third
                  arbitrator within said thirty (30) calendar day period,
                  either of the parties may within a period of thirty (30)
                  calendar days thereafter, after notice to the other party or
                  parties, apply to a judge of the High Court of Justice of
                  England and Wales for the appointment of a third arbitrator
                  and in such case the person so appointed shall be deemed and
                  shall act as a third arbitrator. Upon acceptance of the
                  appointment by said third arbitrator, the Board of
                  Arbitration for the controversy in question shall then be
                  deemed fixed. All claims, demands, denials of claims and
                  notices pursuant to this Clause 5 shall be given in
                  accordance with Clause 16 below.

      (b)   The Board of Arbitration shall fix, by a notice in writing to the
            parties involved, a reasonable time and place for the hearing and
            may prescribe reasonable rules and regulations governing the course
            and conduct of the arbitration proceeding, including, without
            limitation, discovery by the parties.

      (c)   This POLICY, and any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of
            or relating to this POLICY, shall be governed by and construed and
            enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
            York, except insofar as such laws: (i) may prohibit payment
            hereunder in respect of punitive damages; (ii) pertain to the
            procurement, issuance, delivery, renewal, nonrenewal or
            cancellation of policies of insurance or the regulation under New
            York Insurance Law, or regulations issued by the Insurance
            Department of the State of New York pursuant thereto, applying to
            insurers doing insurance business within the State of New York or
            as respects risks or insureds situated in the State of New York; or
            (iii) are inconsistent with any provisions of this POLICY.

            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions,
            stipulations, exclusions and conditions of this POLICY are to be
            construed in an evenhanded fashion as between the parties. Without
            limitation, where the language of this POLICY is deemed to be
            ambiguous or otherwise unclear, the issue shall be resolved in the
            manner most consistent with the relevant provisions, stipulations,
            exclusions and conditions (without regard to authorship of the
            language, without any presumption or arbitrary interpretation or
            construction in favor of either the INSUREDS or the INSURER,
            without reference to the "reasonable expectations" of either
            thereof or to contra proferentem and without reference to parol or
            other extrinsic evidence). To the extent that New York law is
            inapplicable by virtue of any exception or proviso enumerated above
            or otherwise, and as respects any arbitration procedure pursuant to
            this Clause 5, the internal laws of England and Wales shall apply.





                                       6
   11


      (d)   The Board of Arbitration shall, within ninety (90) calendar days
            following the conclusion of the hearing, render its decision on the
            matter or matters in controversy in writing and shall cause a copy
            thereof to be served on all the parties thereto, In case the Board
            of Arbitration fails to reach a unanimous decision, the decision of
            the majority of the members of said Board shall be deemed to be the
            decision of the Board and the same shall be final and binding on
            the parties thereto. Such decision shall be a complete defense to
            any attempted appeal or litigation of such decision in the absence
            of fraud or collusion. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties
            waive any right to appeal, an/or seek collateral review of the
            decision of the Board of Arbitration by any court or other body to
            the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

      (e)   Any order as to the costs of arbitration shall be in the sole
            discretion of the Board of Arbitration, who may direct to whom and
            by whom and in what manner the costs, shall be paid.

      (f)   The INSURER and the INSUREDS agree that in the event that claims
            for indemnity or contribution are asserted in any action or
            proceeding against the INSURER by any of the INSUREDS' other
            insurers in any jurisdiction or forum other than that set forth in
            this Clause 5, the INSUREDS will in good faith take all reasonable
            steps requested by the INSURER to assist the INSURER in obtaining a
            dismissal of these claims (other than on the merits) and will,
            without limitation, undertake to the court or other tribunal to
            reduce any judgment or award against such other insurers to the
            extent that the court or tribunal determines that the INSURER would
            have been liable to such insurers for indemnity or contribution
            pursuant to this POLICY. The INSUREDS shall be entitled to assert
            claims against the INSURER for coverage under this POLICY,
            including, without limitation, for amounts by which the INSUREDS
            reduced its judgment against such other insurers in respect of such
            claims for indemnity or contribution, in an arbitration between the
            INSURER and the INSUREDS pursuant to this Clause 5 which
            arbitration may take place before, concurrently with and/or after
            the action or proceeding involving such other insurers; provided,
            however, that the INSURER in such arbitration in respect of such
            reduction of any judgment shall be entitled to raise any defenses
            under this POLICY and any other defenses (other than jurisdictional
            defenses) as it would have been entitled to raise in the action or
            proceeding with such insurers. No determination in any such action
            or proceeding involving such other insurers shall have collateral
            estoppel, res judicata or other issue preclusion or estoppel effect
            against the INSURER in such arbitration, irrespective of whether or
            not the INSURER remained a party to such action or proceeding.

6.    ASSISTANCE AND COOPERATION

      The INSURER has no duty to defend any CLAIM and shall not be called upon
      to assume charge of the investigation; settlement or defense of any
      CLAIM, but the INSURER shall have the right and shall be given the
      opportunity to associate with the INSUREDS and the COMPANY in the
      investigation,-settlement, defense and control of any CLAIM relative to
      any WRONGFUL ACT where the CLAIM is or may be covered in whole or in part
      by this POLICY. At all times, the INSUREDS and the COMPANY and the
      INSURER shall cooperate in the investigation, settlement and defense of
      such CLAIM. The failure of the COMPANY to assist and cooperate with the
      INSURER shall not impair the rights of the INSUREDS under this POLICY.
      The INSUREDS shall not settle or admit any liability with respect to any
      CLAIM which involves or appears reasonably likely to involve this POLICY
      without the INSURER'S consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

7.    AUTOMATIC EXTENSION

      Except in the event this POLICY is cancelled in whole or in part in
      accordance with Clause 8 (Cancellation) below, on each anniversary of
      this POLICY, upon submission of the extension application and payment of
      the charged premium, this POLICY shall automatically be continued to a
      date one year beyond its previously stated expiration date, unless
      written notice is given by the INSURER to the COMPANY, or by the COMPANY
      to the INSURER, that such POLICY extension is not desired. Such written
      notice may be given at any time prior to the anniversary of the POLICY,
      except that such notice by the INSURER to the COMPANY may be given only
      during the period commencing ninety (90) days and ending ten (10) days
      prior to such anniversary, in which case the POLICY shall automatically
      expire two years from such anniversary date. Such written notice shall be
      given by the INSURER to the COMPANY only if it is determined to be
      appropriate by the Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Vice President
      for Underwriting and the Executive Vice-President for Claims of ACE
      Limited.

      If the COMPANY or the INSURER gives written notice that the POLICY
      extension is not desired, the COMPANY shall pay on or before each of the
      two remaining anniversary dates the charged premium for the next
      succeeding POLICY YEAR, respectively, less a premium credit equal to the
      premium paid for years two and three of the POLICY as specified in Item
      IV of the Declarations Page. If any such premium credit exceeds the
      charged premium, the INSURER shall refund to the COMPANY the difference
      within ten days following such anniversary date. The premium charged on
      each anniversary of this POLICY shall be determined by the rating plan
      and by-laws of the INSURER in force at such anniversary date. If during
      any POLICY YEAR the INSURER announces amendments to this standard policy
      form which are generally applicable to all similar policies issued by the
      INSURER, such amendments shall be applicable to this POLICY as of the
      second anniversary following the POLICY YEAR in which the INSURER
      announced such amendments.

8.    CANCELLATION

      This POLICY shall not be subject to cancellation except as follows:

      (a)   In the event during the POLICY PERIOD:

            (1)   the company named in Item I of the Declarations shall merge
                  into or consolidate with another organization in which the
                  company named in Item I of the Declarations is not the
                  surviving entity, or

            (2)   any person or entity or group of persons and/or entitles
                  acting in concert shall acquire securities or voting rights
                  which results in ownership or voting control by such person
                  or entity or group of persons or entities of more than 50% of
                  the outstanding securities representing the present right to
                  vote for election of directors or MANAGERS of the company
                  named in Item I of the Declarations

            this POLICY shall remain in force until the later of:

            (i)   the third anniversary of such merger, consolidation or
                  acquisition if during the POLICY PERIOD the COMPANY or the
                  INSUREDS give notice to the INSURER of their desire to elect
                  such extension (no additional premium shall be required for
                  such extension),

            (ii)  any subsequent date to which the INSURER may agree by
                  endorsement, or






                                       8
   13

            (iii) termination of the POLICY PERIOD,

            but only with respect to CLAIMS for WRONGFUL ACTS actually or
            allegedly taking place before the effective date of said merger,
            consolidation or acquisition. If the POLICY remains in force beyond
            the period of time stated in Item II of the Declarations by reason
            of this Clause 8(a), the LIMIT OF LIABILITY for such extension is
            part of and not in addition to the LIMIT OF LIABILITY to the
            immediately preceding POLICY YEAR. All premiums paid or due at the
            time of said merger, consolidation or acquisition shall be fully
            earned and in no respect refundable.

      (b)   This POLICY may be cancelled by the INSURER upon granting of 365
            days written notice, providing such cancellation is determined to
            be appropriate by the Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Vice
            President for Underwriting and the Executive Vice President for
            Claims of ACE Limited. Payment or tender of any unearned premium by
            the INSURER shall not be a condition precedent to the effectiveness
            of cancellation, but return of the pro rata unearned premium shall
            be made as soon as practicable.

      (c)   In the event the charged premium for any POLICY YEAR is not paid as
            provided in Clause 7 (Automatic Extension), above, this POLICY
            shall not apply to any WRONGFUL ACTS actually or allegedly taking
            place after the anniversary date on which the additional premium
            was due; however, this POLICY shall remain in force for the
            remainder of the POLICY PERIOD as to CLAIMS first made during the
            POLICY PERIOD for WRONGFUL ACTS actually or allegedly caused,
            committed or attempted prior to such anniversary date. With respect
            to all CLAIMS first made after such anniversary date, one LIMIT OF
            LIABILITY shall apply for the remainder of the POLICY PERIOD. Such
            LIMIT OF LIABILITY shall be separate from the LIMIT OF LIABILITY
            provided during the POLICY YEAR immediately preceding such
            anniversary date. All premiums paid as of such anniversary date
            shall be fully earned and in no respect refundable.

9.    CHANGES AND ASSIGNMENTS

      The terms and conditions of this POLICY shall not be waived or changed,
      nor shall an assignment of interest under this POLICY be binding, except
      by an endorsement to this POLICY issued by the INSURER.

10.   ADVANCEMENT OF DEFENSE COSTS

      Except in those instances when the INSURER has denied liability for the
      CLAIM because of the application of one or more exclusions, or other
      coverage issues, if the COMPANY refuses or is financially unable to
      advance DEFENSE COSTS, the INSURER shall, upon request and if proper
      documentation accompanies the request, advance on behalf of the INSUREDS,
      or any of them, DEFENSE COSTS that they have incurred in connection with
      a CLAIM, prior to disposition of such CLAIM. In the event that the
      INSURER so advances DEFENSE COSTS and it is finally established that the
      INSURER has no liability hereunder, such INSUREDS on whose behalf
      advances have been made and the COMPANY, to the full extent legally
      permitted, agree to repay to the INSURER, upon demand, all monies
      advanced.

11.   CURRENCY

      All premium, limits, retentions, LOSS and other amounts under this POLICY
      are expressed and payable in the currency of the United States of
      America.

12.   HEADINGS

      The descriptions in the headings and sub-headings of this POLICY are
      inserted solely for convenience and do not constitute any part of the
      terms or conditions hereof.

13.   INSUREDS' REPORTING DUTIES

      The INSUREDS and/or the COMPANY shall give written notice to the INSURER
      of any of the following as soon as practicable after the in-house general
      counsel or risk manager of the COMPANY first learns thereof:

      (a)   any CLAIM described in subpart (b) (1) of Clause 2 (Definitions)
            above, which notice shall include the nature of the WRONGFUL ACT,
            the alleged injury, the names of the claimants, and the manner in
            which the INSUREDS or COMPANY first became aware of the CLAIM; or

      (b)   any event described in subpart (a) of Clause 8 (Cancellation)
            above,

      The INSUREDS and the COMPANY shall cooperate with the INSURER and give
      such additional information as the INSURER may reasonably require.

14.   LOSS PROVISIONS

      (a)   The time when a CLAIM shall be made for purposes of determining the
            application of Clause 1 (Insuring Clause) above shall be the date
            on which the CLAIM is first made against the INSURED.

      (b)   If during the POLICY PERIOD, the INSUREDS or the COMPANY shall
            become aware of any circumstances that are likely to give rise to a
            CLAIM being made against the INSUREDS and shall give written notice
            to the INSURER of the circumstances and the reasons for
            anticipating a CLAIM, with particulars as to dates and persons
            involved, then any CLAIM that is subsequently made against the
            INSUREDS arising out of such circumstances shall be treated as a
            CLAIM made during the first POLICY YEAR in which the INSUREDS or
            the COMPANY gave such notice.

      (c)   The COMPANY and the INSUREDS shall give the INSURER such
            information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as
            shall be in the COMPANY'S and the lNSUREDS' power.


15.   OTHER INSURANCE

      Subject to subparts (e) and (f) of Clause 3 (Exclusions) above, if other
      valid and collectible insurance with any other insurer, whether such
      insurance is issued before, concurrent with, or after inception of this
      POLICY, is available to the INSUREDS covering a CLAIM also covered by
      this POLICY, other than insurance that is issued specifically as
      insurance in excess of the insurance afforded by this POLICY, this POLICY
      shall be in excess of and shall not contribute with such other insurance.
      Without limiting the foregoing, this POLICY is specifically excess of and
      shall not contribute with any insurance which is maintained by a
      NON-PROFIT OUTSIDE ENTITY and available to an INSURED. Nothing herein
      shall be construed to make this POLICY subject to the terms of other
      insurance.

16.   NOTICE

      All notices under any provision of this POLICY shall be in writing and
      given by prepaid express courier or electronic service properly addressed
      to the appropriate party at the respective addresses as shown in Items V
      and VI of the Declarations. Notice so given shall be deemed to be
      received and effective upon actual receipt thereof by the party or one
      day following the date such notice is sent, whichever is earlier. Notice
      to the INSURER of any CLAIM shall be directed to the attention of the
      INSURER's Claims Department. All other notices to the INSURER shall be
      directed to the attention of the INSURER's Underwriting Department.

17.   REPRESENTATION

      By acceptance of this POLICY, the company named in Item I of the
      Declarations agrees to represent the INSUREDS with respect to all matters
      under this POLICY, including, but not limited to, the giving and
      receiving of notice of CLAIM or cancellation or desire not to extend the
      POLICY, the payment of premiums, the receiving of LOSS payments and any
      return premiums that may become due under this POLICY, the requesting,
      receiving, and acceptance of any endorsement to this POLICY, and the
      submission of a dispute to arbitration. The INSUREDS agree that said
      company shall represent them but, for purposes of the investigation,
      defense, settlement, or appeal of any CLAIM, the INSUREDS who are named
      as defendants in the CLAIM may, upon their unanimous agreement and upon
      notice to the INSURER, replace said company with another agent to
      represent them with respect to the CLAIM, including giving and receiving
      of notice of CLAIM and other correspondence, the receiving of LOSS
      payments, and the submission of a dispute to arbitration.

18.   SEVERABILITY

      (a)   The APPLICATION for coverage shall be construed as a separate
            APPLICATION for coverage by each INSURED. With respect to the
            declarations and statements contained in such APPLICATION for
            coverage, no statement in the APPLICATION or knowledge possessed by
            any one INSURED shall be imputed to any other INSURED for the
            purpose of determining the availability of coverage with respect to
            CLAIMS made against any other INSURED.

            The acts, omissions, knowledge, or warranties of any INSURED shall
            not be imputed to any other INSURED with respect to the coverages
            applicable under this POLICY.

      (b)   This POLICY shall not be rescinded by the INSURER in whole or in
            part based upon the restatement of, or any misstatement or error
            in, any financial statements of the COMPANY contained within the
            APPLICATION.

      (c)   In the event that any provision of this POLICY shall be declared or
            deemed to be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law,

19.   SPOUSAL LIABILITY

      If a CLAIM against an INSURED includes a claim against the INSURED'S
      lawful spouse solely by reason of (i) such spouse's status as a spouse of
      the INSURED, or (ii) such spouse's ownership interest in property which
      the claimant seeks as recovery for alleged WRONGFUL ACTS of the INSURED,
      all loss which such spouse becomes legally obligated to pay by reason of
      such CLAIM shall be treated for purposes of this POLICY as LOSS which the
      INSURED becomes legally obligated to pay by reason of the CLAIM made
      against the INSURED. Such spousal loss shall be covered under the POLICY
      only if and to the extent such loss would be covered if incurred by the
      INSURED.

      The coverage extension afforded by this Clause 19 does not apply to the
      extent such CLAIM alleges a wrongful act or omission by the INSURED's
      spouse.

20.   SUBROGATION

      In the event of any payment under this POLICY, the INSURER shall be
      subrogated to the extent of such payment to all the INSUREDS' rights of
      recovery, and the INSUREDS shall execute all papers reasonably required
      and shall take all reasonable actions that may be necessary to secure
      such rights including the execution of such documents necessary to enable
      the INSURER effectively to bring suit in the name of the INSUREDS,
      including but not limited to an action against the COMPANY for nonpayment
      of indemnity due and owing to the INSUREDS by the COMPANY.

21.   ACQUISITION, CREATION OR DISPOSITION OF A SUBSIDIARY

      (a)   Coverage shall apply to the INSUREDS of any subsidiary corporation
            or limited liability company in which more than 50% of the
            outstanding securities representing the present right to vote for
            election of directors or MANAGERS is owned, directly or indirectly,
            in any combination, by the COMPANY and/or one or more of its
            SUBSIDIARIES, and which is acquired or created after the inception
            of this POLICY, if written notice is given to the INSURER within
            sixty (60) days after the acquisition or creation, and any
            additional premium required by the INSURER is paid within thirty
            (30) days of the request therefor by the INSURER. The INSURER
            waives the obligation to provide notice and to pay any additional
            premium if the assets of such newly created or acquired company are
            not more than 15% of the total assets of the COMPANY or
            $500,000,000, whichever is less. The coverage provided for the
            INSUREDS of such new subsidiary shall be limited to CLAIMS for
            WRONGFUL ACTS actually or allegedly taking place subsequent to the
            date of acquisition or creation of the subsidiary.

      (b)   Coverage shall not apply to directors, MANAGERS, officers and
            employees of any subsidiary, including a SUBSIDIARY as defined in
            Clause 2 (Definitions) above, for CLAIMS for WRONGFUL ACTS actually
            or allegedly taking place subsequent to the date that the COMPANY
            and/or one or more of its SUBSIDIARIES, directly or indirectly, in
            any combination, ceases to own more than 50% of the outstanding
            securities representing the present right to vote for election of
            directors or MANAGERS in such subsidiary.

22.   BANKRUPTCY

      In the event a liquidation or reorganization proceeding is commenced by
      or against a COMPANY pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code, as
      amended, or any similar state or local law, the COMPANY and the INSUREDS
      hereby (i) waive and release any automatic stay or injunction which may
      apply in such proceeding to this POLICY or its proceeds under such
      Bankruptcy Code or law, and (ii) agree not to oppose or object to any
      efforts by the INSURER, the COMPANY or any INSURED to obtain relief from
      any such stay or injunction.

      In the event the COMPANY becomes a debtor in possession under the United
      States Bankruptcy Code or an equivalent status under the law of any other
      country and the aggregate LOSS due under this POLICY exceeds the
      remaining available LIMIT OF LIABILITY, the INSURER shall:

      (a)   first pay such LOSS allocable to WRONGFUL ACTS that are actually or
            allegedly caused, committed, or attempted prior to the COMPANY
            becoming a debtor in possession, then

      (b)   with respect to whatever remaining amount of the LIMIT OF LIABILITY
            is available after payment under (a) above, pay such LOSS allocable
            to WRONGFUL ACTS that are actually or alleged caused, committed, or
            attempted after the COMPANY became a debtor in possession.
