d. All "claims" for "damages" based on or arising out of: (1) One "employment practice"; or (2) An “interrelated” series of "employment practices" by one or more insureds shall be deemed to be one "claim" and to have been made at the time the first of those "claims" is made against any insured.

e. Each payment we make for "damages" or "defense expense" reduces the amount of insurance available, as provided under section C. of this endorsement.

2. Defense of Claims, Administrative Hearings and Settlement Authority Subject to the limits of insurance, deductible, conditions, exclusions, definitions, and other terms of this endorsement: a. We have the right and duty to defend "claims" against the insured seeking "damages" to which this insurance

applies and to pay for related "defense expense” even if the allegations of such “claims” are groundless, false or fraudulent. However, we have no duty to (i) defend "claims" against the insured seeking "damages", or (ii) pay for related "defense expense", when this insurance does not apply. We may, at our sole discretion: (1) Investigate any "employment practice" that may result in "damages"; and (2) Settle any "claim" which may result, provided:

(a) We have the insured’s written consent to settle; and (b) The settlement is within the applicable Limit of Insurance available.

b. Our liability will be limited as described below if: (1) The insured refuses to consent to any settlement we recommend, and (2) Such recommended settlement is acceptable to the claimant. After such refusal, our liability under this coverage for such "claim" shall not exceed the amount we would have paid for "damages" and "defense expense" if the insured had consented to our settlement recommendation. The insured shall thereafter be responsible for the negotiation and defense of that "claim" at their own cost and without our involvement.

c. Our right and duty to defend such "claims" ends when we have used up the Limit of Insurance available, as provided under section C. of this endorsement. This applies both to "claims" pending at that time and any that may be made.

d. (1) When we control defense of a "claim", we will pay associated "defense expense" and choose a counsel of our choice from the panel of attorneys we have selected to deal with "employment practices" "claims”. If you give us a specific written request at the time a "claim" is first made: (a) You or any involved insured may select one of our panel of employment law attorneys; or (b) You or such insured may ask us to consider the approval of a defense attorney of your or that insured’s

choice who is not on our panel. We will then use the attorney selected in A.2.d.(1)(a) above, or consider the request in A.2.d.(1)(b) above, if we deem it appropriate to engage counsel for such "claim”.

(2) If by mutual agreement or court order the insured assumes control of the defense before the applicable Limit of Insurance is used up, the insured will be allowed to select defense counsel and we will reimburse the insured for reasonable "defense expense”. You and any involved insured must continue to comply with section E. Conditions paragraph 2. Duties in Event of “Employment Practices” or “Claims” of this endorsement. Additionally, you or such insured must direct defense counsel to: (a) Furnish us with the additional information we request to evaluate the “employment practices” or “claim”;

and (b) Cooperate with any counsel we may select to monitor or associate in the defense of the “employment

practices” or “claim”. If we defend any insured under a reservation of rights, both such insured’s counsel and our counsel will be required to maintain records pertinent to "defense expenses". These records will be used to determine the allocation of any "defense expenses" for which you or any insured may be solely responsible, including defense of an allegation not covered by this insurance.

BOP-7058 (Ed. 2-09) Page 3 of 9

We will notify you in writing when the applicable limit of insurance has been used-up by the payment of judgments, settlements, or “defense expense”. We will also initiate and cooperate in the transfer of defense of any “claim” to an appropriate insured for whom the duty to defend has ended by reason of paragraph A.2.b. above.

e. Upon notice to us and with our prior approval, the first Named Insured is authorized to act on behalf of all insureds with respect to the payment of "damages" in settlement of any Administrative Hearing or other non-judicial proceeding before the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or any similar Federal, state or local body or commission. This authorization is limited to (i) "damages" covered by this coverage, together with (ii) "defense expenses" as defined under part 5.d. of the definition of "defense expenses" in a total amount not to exceed two times the amount of the Deductible stated in the Schedule of this endorsement.

3. Exclusions The insurance provided under this endorsement does not apply to "claims" based on, arising out of, or in any way involving: a. (1) "Employment practices" which were the subject of any demand, suit or other proceeding which was initiated

against any insured; or (2) Facts and circumstances which would cause a reasonable person to believe a "claim" would be made and

b. Loss of any benefit conferred or loss of any obligation imposed under an express contract of employment. c. Any obligation to pay "damages" by reason of the assumption of liability in any contract or agreement. This

provided however, this exclusion shall not apply to any "claim" based upon, arising from or in consequence of any actual or alleged retaliatory treatment of the claimant by the Insured on account of the claimant's exercise of rights pursuant to any such law;

(2) Employees' Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, Public Law 93-406, (ERISA) as now or hereafter amended, or any similar state or other governmental law.

(3) The Fair Labor Standards Act, or any state or common law wage or hour law, including, but not limited to laws governing minimum wages, hours worked, overtime compensation, and including any recordkeeping and reporting related thereto.

(4) The National Labor Relations Act of 1938, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (Public Law 100-37991988), the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, or the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

Exclusions A.3.d.(1) – (4) above also apply to any rules or regulations promulgated under any of the foregoing and amendments thereto or any similar provisions of any federal, state or local law, and to that part of any "damages" awarded for the cost or replacement of any insurance benefits due or alleged to be due to any current or former “employee”.

e. Oral or written publication of material, if such material: (1) Was published by or at the direction of the insured with knowledge of the material's falsity; or (2) Was first published before the Retroactive Date, if any, shown in the Schedule of this endorsement.

f. Dishonest, criminal or fraudulent acts of the insured or the willful failure by the insured or with the insured’s consent to comply with any law or any governmental or administrative order or regulation relating to “employment practices”. Willful, as used in this exclusion, means acting with intentional or reckless disregard for such employment related laws, orders or regulations. The enforcement of this exclusion against any insured shall not be imputed to any other insured.

g. "Bodily injury”. h. "Employment practices" which occur when or after:

(1) You file for or are placed in any bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation or reorganization proceeding; or (2) Any other business entity acquires an ownership interest in you, which is greater than fifty percent.

B. WHO IS AN INSURED For the purposes of the coverage provided by this endorsement, Section II. C. Who Is An Insured is replaced by the following: 1. If you are designated in the Declarations as:

a. An individual, you and your spouse are insureds, but only with respect to the conduct of a business of which you are the sole owner.

b. A partnership or joint venture, you are an insured. Your current or former members, your partners, and their spouses are also insureds, but only with respect to the conduct of your business.

c. A limited liability company, you are an insured. Your current or former members are also insureds, but only with respect to the conduct of your business. Your current or former managers are insureds, but only with respect to their duties as your managers.

d. An organization other than a partnership or joint venture, you are an insured. Your current or former directors are insureds, but only with respect to their duties as your directors.

2. Each of the following is also an insured: a. Your current or former "employees" but only for acts within the scope of their employment by you or while

performing duties related to the conduct of your business. b. Your legal representative if you die, but only with respect to duties as such. That representative will have all your

rights and duties under this Coverage. 3. Any heirs, executors, administrators, assignees or legal representatives of any individual insured in subparagraphs

4. Any organization you newly acquire or form, other than a partnership, joint venture or limited liability company, and over which you maintain ownership or majority interest, will qualify as a Named Insured if there is no other similar insurance available to that organization. However: a. You must provide us notice of such acquisition or formation within 30 days of the effective date of your

acquisition or formation; b. Coverage under this provision is afforded only until the 90th day after you acquire or form the organization or the

end of the policy period, whichever is earlier; c. Coverage does not apply to any "employment practices" that occurred before you acquired or formed the

organization; and d. You must pay us any additional premium due as a condition precedent to the enforceability of this additional

extension of coverage. This paragraph does not apply to any organization after it is shown in the Declarations.

No person or organization is an insured with respect to the conduct of any current or past partnership, joint venture or limited liability company that is not shown as a Named Insured in the Declarations.

C. LIMITS OF INSURANCE

For the purposes of the coverage provided by this endorsement, Section II. D. Liability And Medical Expenses Limits Of Insurance is replaced by the following: 1. The amount of insurance stated as Aggregate Limit in the Schedule of this endorsement is the most we will pay for

the sum of all: a. “Damages” for all “claims” arising out of any actual or alleged "employment practices" covered by this insurance;

and b. “Defense expense” for all "claims" seeking "damages" payable under paragraph C.1.a. above. Each payment we make for such "damages" or defense expenses" reduces the Aggregate Limit by the amount of the payment. This reduced limit will then be the amount of insurance available for further "damages" and "defense expenses" under this coverage.

2. Subject to C.1. above, the amount of insurance stated as the Each "Claim" Limit of Insurance in the Schedule of this endorsement is the most we will pay in excess of the Deductible as further described in section D. of this endorsement for the sum of all: a. "Damages" for injury arising from "employment practices" covered by this insurance arising out of one "claim"

whether such "claim" is brought by one or more claimants: and b. "Defense expense" associated with that specific "claim" in item C.2.a. above.

3. In addition to the payments for "damages" and "defense expense" in paragraphs C.1. and 2. above, we will also pay all interest on the full amount of any judgment that accrues after entry of the judgment and before we have paid, offered to pay, or deposited in court the amount available for the judgment under the provisions of paragraphs C.1. and 2. above.

Page 36: Filing at a Glance - A.M. Best Company€¦ ·  · 2013-09-03Filing at a Glance Companies ... We will be introducing a single Defense within Limits ... following objections in accordance

BOP-7058 (Ed. 2-09) Page 5 of 9

The Limits of Insurance of this coverage apply separately to each consecutive annual period and to any remaining period of less than 12 months, starting with the beginning of the policy period shown in the Declarations, unless the policy period is extended after issuance for an additional period of less than 12 months. In that case, the additional period will be deemed part of the last preceding period for purposes of determining the Limits of Insurance.

D. DEDUCTIBLE

For the purposes of the coverage provided by this endorsement, the following provisions are added: 1. A deductible applies to all "damages" for injury arising from "employment practices" and any "defense expense"

however caused. 2. Our obligation under this Employment Practices Liability Insurance to pay "damages" and "defense expense" on

behalf of any insured applies only to the sum of the amount of "damages" and "defense expense" for each "claim" which are in excess of the deductible amount stated in the Schedule of this endorsement.

3. Your obligation is to pay the deductible applicable to each "claim" made against this insurance. That deductible applies to the sum of all "damages" because of injury arising from "employment practices" paid for each "claim" and applicable "defense expense" associated therewith. If there should be no "damages" paid for a "claim", you are still obligated to pay the applicable deductible for any "defense expense" incurred by us in connection with that "claim".

4. The terms of this insurance apply irrespective of the application of the deductible, including those with respect to: a. Our right and duty to defend any “claims” seeking those “damages”; and b. Your and any involved insured’s duties in the event of a “claim”.

5. We may pay any part or all of the deductible to effect settlement of any "claim" or to defend any “claim” and, upon notification of the action taken, you shall promptly reimburse us for such part of the deductible as we may have paid for "damages" or "defense expense".

6. The application of the deductible does not reduce the applicable Limits of Insurance. E. CONDITIONS

For the purposes of the coverage provided by this endorsement, all of the Liability And Medical Expenses General Conditions and Common Policy Conditions apply to this coverage, except to the extent expressly amended below. Conditions which are included below but which are not included in either the Liability And Medical Expenses General Conditions section or the Common Policy Conditions section apply only to the coverage provided by this endorsement. To the extent that the terms of any Condition are changed from the terms of that same Condition provided by either the Liability And Medical Expenses General Conditions section or the Common Policy Conditions section, the changes to the Condition only apply to the coverage provided by this endorsement. 1. Bankruptcy

Section II E. Liability And Medical Expenses General Conditions paragraph 1. is replaced by the following: Subject to exclusion A.3.h. above, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the insured or of the insured's estate will not relieve us of our obligations under this insurance.

2. Duties in the Event of "Employment Practices" or "Claims" Section II E. Liability And Medical Expenses General Conditions paragraph 2. is replaced by the following: a. You must see to it that we are notified as soon as practicable of any specific "employment practices" which you

believe may result in an actual "claim". Your belief must be reasonably certain as the result of specific allegations made by a potential claimant or such potential claimant's representative, or as the result of specifically identifiable injury sustained by a potential claimant. Notices of “employment practices” should include the following detailed information: (1) How, when and where such "employment practices" took place; (2) The names and addresses of any potential claimants and witnesses; and (3) The nature of any injury arising out of such "employment practices". Notice of such "employment practices" is not notice of a "claim", but preserves any insured's rights to future coverage for subsequent "claims" arising out of such "employment practices" as described in the Basic Extended Reporting Period provisions under section F. of this endorsement.

b. If a "claim" is received by any insured: (1) You must immediately record the specifics of the "claim" and the date received; (2) You and any other involved insured must see to it that we receive written notice of the "claim", as soon as

practicable, but in any event we must receive notice either: (a) During the policy period or within thirty (30) days thereafter; or (b) With respect to any "claim" first made during any Extended Reporting Period we provide under section F.

of this endorsement, during such Extended Reporting Period. (3) You and any other involved insured must:

BOP-7058 (Ed. 2-09) Page 6 of 9

(c) Cooperate with us in the investigation, settlement or defense of the "claim"; and (d) Assist us, upon our request, in the enforcement of any right against any person or organization, which

may be liable to the insured because of injury or damage to which this insurance may also apply. As a condition precedent for coverage under this insurance, notices of “claims” must include the detailed information required in items E.2.a.(1), (2) and (3) above.

c. No insureds will, except at their own cost, voluntarily make a payment, assume any obligation, or incur any expense without our consent, other than those specific payments authorized under section A. 2. Defense of Claims, Administrative Hearings and Settlement Authority of this endorsement.

3. Inspections and Surveys We have the right but are not obligated to: a. Make inspections and surveys at any time; b. Give you reports on the employment conditions we find; and c. Recommend procedures, guidelines and changes. Any inspections, surveys, reports or recommendations relate only to insurability and the premiums to be charged. We do not undertake to perform the duty of any person or organization to provide for the health or safety of, or lawful practices towards your workers or the public. We do not warrant that conditions:

(i) Are safe or healthful; or (ii) Comply with laws, regulations, codes or standards as they relate to the purpose of this or any other

insurance. This condition applies not only to us, but also to any rating, advisory, rate service or similar organization, which makes insurance inspections, surveys, reports or recommendations on our behalf.

To join us as a party or otherwise bring us into a "claim" seeking "damages" from any insured; or b. To sue us on this coverage unless all of its terms have been fully complied with. Any person or organization may sue us to recover on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment against an insured obtained after an actual trial, but we will not be liable for "damages" that are not payable under the terms of this coverage or that are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed by us, the insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative.

5. Other Insurance Section III Common Policy Conditions paragraph H. is replaced with the following: If other valid and collectible insurance is available to the insured for "damages" or "defense expense" we cover under this coverage, our obligations are limited as follows: a. As this insurance is primary insurance, our obligations are not affected unless any of the other insurance is also

primary. Then, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in b. below. b. If all of the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this

method, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.

6. Payment of Premiums and Deductibles Section III Common Policy Conditions paragraph I. is replaced by the following: a. We will compute all premiums for this insurance in accordance with our rules and rates; and b. The first Named Insured shown in the Declarations is responsible for the payment of all premiums, and

deductibles due and will be the payee for any return premiums we pay. 7. Representations

Section III Common Policy Conditions paragraph C. is replaced by the following: By accepting this coverage you agree: a. The statements in the Declarations and the Schedule of this endorsement are accurate and complete; and b. That if you have completed an application for this insurance, then we have issued this coverage based upon that

application. Such application is incorporated into this coverage by reference and becomes a part of the coverage. The application is on file with us or our agent and is a representation of the correctness of the information based upon which we have issued this coverage; and

c. Since we have issued this insurance in reliance upon your representations, this coverage can be cancelled or coverage for a claim denied if any material fact or circumstance relating to the subject of this insurance is omitted or misrepresented in your application.

8. Separation Of Insureds Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and any rights or duties specifically assigned in this endorsement to the first Named Insured, this insurance applies:

a. As if each Named Insured were the only Named Insured; and b. Separately to each insured against whom "claim" is made.

9. Sole Agent The first Named Insured is authorized to act on behalf of all insureds as respects the giving or receiving of notice of cancellation or nonrenewal, receiving premium refunds, requesting any Supplemental Extended Reporting Period and agreeing to any changes in this Coverage.

11. When We Do Not Renew If we decide not to renew this insurance, we will mail or deliver to the first Named Insured shown in the Declarations written notice of the nonrenewal not less than 30 days before the expiration date. If notice is mailed, proof of mailing will be sufficient proof of notice.

12. Policy Period For This Coverage For purposes of the coverage provided by this Employment Practices Liability endorsement, the policy period shall be the period of time this endorsement is in effect if such period is less than the policy period for the policy to which this endorsement is attached. However, this provision does not apply to the last paragraph of C. Limits Of Insurance.

F. EXTENDED REPORTING PERIODS For the purposes of the coverage provided by this endorsement, the following provisions are added: 1. We will provide Extended Reporting Periods, as described below, if:

a. This coverage is cancelled or not renewed; or b. We renew or replace this coverage with insurance that:

(1) Has a Retroactive Date later than the date shown in the Schedule of this endorsement; or (2) Does not apply on a claims-made basis.

2. Extended Reporting Periods do not extend the policy period or change the scope of coverage provided. They apply only to "claims" as the result of "employment practices" committed after the Retroactive Date, if any, shown in the Schedule of this endorsement and before the end of the policy period. Once in effect, Extended Reporting Periods may not be cancelled.

3. Extended Reporting Periods do not reinstate or increase the Limits of Insurance. 4. A Basic Extended Reporting Period is automatically provided without additional charge. This period starts with the

end of the policy period and lasts for: a. Five years with respect to "claims" arising out of "employment practices" which had been properly reported to us

during the policy period in accordance with section E.2. Duties in the Event of "Employment Practices" or "Claims" of this endorsement.

b. Sixty-days with respect to "claims" arising from "employment practices" not previously reported to us. The Basic Extended Reporting Period does not apply to "claims" that are covered under any subsequent insurance you purchase, or that would be covered but for exhaustion of the amount of insurance applicable to such claims.

5. A Supplemental Extended Reporting Period of either twelve (12) or thirty-six (36) months duration is available, but only by endorsement and for an extra charge. This supplemental period starts when the Basic Extended Reporting Period set forth in paragraph F.4.b. above ends. You must give us a written request for the endorsement, and its length, within 30 days after the end of the policy period. The Supplemental Extended Reporting Period will not go into effect unless you pay the additional premium when due. We will determine the additional premium in accordance with our rules and rates. In doing so, we may take into account the following: a. The exposures insured; b. Previous types and amounts of insurance; c. Limits of Insurance available under this coverage for future payment of "damages" or "defense expense"; and d. Other related factors. The additional premium will not exceed 200% of the annual premium for this coverage.

6. The Supplemental Extended Reporting Period Endorsement we issue shall set forth the terms, not inconsistent with this section F. Extended Reporting Periods, including a provision to the effect that the insurance afforded for "claims" first received during such period is excess over any other valid and collectible insurance available under policies in force after the Supplemental Extended Reporting Period begins.

SPLIT LIMITS PRIOR ACTS COVERAGE ENDORSEMENT This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:

EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES LIABILITY COVERAGE

SCHEDULE* LIMITS OF INSURANCE

PRIOR ACTS AGGREGATE LIMIT PRIOR ACTS EACH “CLAIM” LIMIT

$ $

PRIOR ACTS DATE Prior Acts Date: / /

*Information required to complete this Schedule, if not shown above, will be shown in the Declarations 1. Paragraph 1.b.(3) of the Employment Practices Liability Coverage Insuring Agreement under section A. Coverage is

replaced by the following: (3) Such “employment practices” occurred:

(a) After the Retroactive Date, if any, shown in the Schedule of the Employment Practices Liability Coverage endorsement;

(b) During the “prior acts period”, if any; and (c) Before the end of the policy period; and

2. The following paragraphs are added to section C. Limits Of Insurance: 1. Subject to the Aggregate Limit(s) shown in the Schedule of the Employment Practices Liability Coverage endorse-

ment, the Limit Of Insurance stated in the Schedule above as the Prior Acts Aggregate Limit is the most we will pay for the sum of: a. “Damages” for all “claims” arising out of any actual or alleged "employment practices" covered by this insur-

ance; and b. “Defense expense” for all "claims" seeking "damages" payable under paragraph a. above; arising out of “employment practices” committed during the “prior acts period”, if any. Each payment we make for such "damages" or “defense expenses" reduces the Prior Acts Aggregate Limit by the amount of the payment. This reduced limit will then be the amount of insurance available for further "damages" and "defense expenses" under this coverage for “employment practices” committed during the “prior acts period”.

2. Subject to paragraph 2.1. above, the Limit Of Insurance stated in the Schedule above as the Prior Acts Each "Claim" Limit is the most we will pay in excess of the Deductible as further described in section D. Deductible for the sum of:

a. "Damages" for injury arising from "employment practices" covered by this insurance arising out of one "claim" whether such "claim" is brought by one or more claimants; and

b. "Defense expense" associated with that specific "claim" in item 2.2.b. above; arising out of “employment practices” committed during the “prior acts period”, if any. The Each “Claim” Limit(s) shown in the Schedule of the Employment Practices Liability Coverage endorsement does not apply to “damages” or “defense expense” arising out of “employment practices” committed during the “prior acts period”, if any.

3. In addition to the payments for "damages" and "defense expense" in paragraphs 2.1. and 2.2. above, we will also pay all interest on the full amount of any judgment that accrues after entry of the judgment and before we have paid, offered to pay, or deposited in court the amount available for the judgment under the provisions of paragraphs 2.1. and 2.2. above.

4. When an “interrelated” series of “employment practices” by one or more insureds includes “employment practices”

committed during the “prior acts period”, then that entire “interrelated” series of “employment practices” shall be subject to one Prior Acts Each “Claim” Limit of Insurance as described in paragraph 2.2. above. Paragraph 2.1. above does not apply to such series of “employment practices”.

3. With respect only to the coverage provided under this endorsement, the following is added to section F. Extended Reporting Periods:

An Extended Reporting Period does not extend the policy period or change the scope of coverage provided. It only applies to "claims" as the result of "employment practices" committed:

a. After the Retroactive Date, if any, shown in the Schedule of the Employment Practices Liability Coverage en-dorsement;

b. During the “prior acts period”, if any; and c. Before the end of the policy period.

Once in effect, Extended Reporting Periods may not be cancelled. 4. The following definition is added to section G. Definitions:

“Prior acts period” means the period of time between the Prior Acts Date shown in the Schedule above and the Retroactive Date shown in the Schedule of the Employment Practices Liability Coverage endorsement.

NOTICE REGARDING THE CIVIL UNION AND EQUALITY ACT (DELAWARE) This is to provide notice that, pursuant to the Delaware Insurance Department Domestic/Foreign Insurers Bulletin No. 46, this policy is in compliance with the Delaware Civil Union and Equality Act of 2011, 78 Del. Laws Ch. 22 (2011) (the "Act"). The Act, which becomes effective January 1, 2012, creates a form of legal union between two persons of the same sex who establish a civil union in accordance with the requirements of Delaware law. The Act provides that parties to a civil union shall have all of the same rights, protections and benefits, and shall be subject to the same responsibilities, obligations and duties, under Delaware law as are granted to, enjoyed by, or imposed upon married spouses. The Act further provides that a party to a civil union shall be included in any definition or use of the terms "dependent", "family", "husband and wife", "immediate family", "next of kin", "spouse", "stepparent", "tenants by the entirety", and other terms, whether or not gender-specific, that denote a spousal relationship or a person in a spousal relationship, as those terms are used throughout Delaware law. For all purposes of Delaware laws that refer to marriage or marital status, other than Chapter 1 of Title 13 of the Delaware Code, parties to a civil union will be included in such reference. In addition, the Act also automatically recognizes as civil unions, for all purposes of Delaware law, legal unions between two persons of the same sex, such as civil unions, marriages and domestic partnerships that are validly formed in jurisdictions other than Delaware and are substantially similar to Delaware civil unions. The provisions of the Act apply for all purposes of Delaware law, whether derived from statutes, administrative rules or regulations, court rules, governmental policies, common law, court decisions, or any other provisions or sources of law, which includes the Insurance Code and all regulations and bulletins promulgated thereunder. NOTICE REGARDING THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM PROTECTION AND CIVIL UNION ACT (ILLINOIS) This is to provide notice that, pursuant to Illinois Department of Insurance Company Bulletin 2011-06 (CB 2011-06), this policy is in compliance with the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act ("the Act", 750 ILL. COMP. STAT. 75/1). The Act, which became effective on June 1, 2011, creates a legal relationship between two persons of either the same or opposite sex who establish a civil union. The Act provides that parties to a civil union are entitled to the same legal obligations, responsibilities, protections and benefits that are afforded or recognized by the law of Illinois to spouses, whether they are derived from statute, administrative rule, policy, common law or any source of civil or criminal law. In addition, this law requires recognition of a same-sex civil union, marriage, or other substantially similar legal relationship, except for common law marriage, legally entered into in other jurisdictions. The Act further provides that "party to a civil union" shall be included in any definition or use of the terms "spouse", "family", "immediate family", "dependent", "next of kin" and other terms descriptive of spousal relationships as those terms are used throughout the law. According to CB 2011-06, this includes the terms "marriage" or "married" or any variations thereof. CB 2011-06 also states that if policies of insurance provide coverage for children, the children of civil unions must also be provided coverage. The undersigned warrants that the statements set forth in this application and its attachments and other material submitted to the insurer are true and correct.

The Schedule of the endorsement provides an entry for:

(a) Limits of Insurance which provide separate limits for damages and defense expenses; (b) A deductible amount which the insured agrees to contribute per claim toward the amounts paid as

damages and as defense expense. The company’s obligation to pay damages and defense expense on behalf of the insured applies only to the amount of damages and defense expense in excess of the deductible amount.

Massachusetts Star Advantage Businessowners Program

Explanatory Memorandum

Currently, Harleysville Insurance offers an Employment Practices Liability (EPL) coverage endorsement under the BOP in Massachusetts which affords a separate limit for both damages and defense costs. To offer a lower cost option to our BOP insureds and at the request of our reinsurer, we would like to also offer EPL coverage with a single limit which is applicable to both damages and defense costs. With the exception of the application of limits, the coverage terms for both forms are identical. The rates for the newly introduced single limit coverage option are supplied by our reinsurer and are the same as those used in other states where a single limit product is offered. The rates for the current separate limits form remain unchanged. The coverage will not be changed upon renewal; i.e. if separate limits applied to the expiring policy term then separate limits will continue to apply on subsequent renewals.

EXHIBIT B: Explanation

HARLEYSVILLE INSURANCE

Internal Rate of Return Model

Explanatory Memorandum for the Determination of Underwriting Profit Provision The underwriting profit provision contained in this filing was developed from the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Model displayed on the following pages. The IRR Model generates expected underwriting and investment results for the prospective period of the proposed rates. This provides a more appropriate reflection of anticipated profit than traditional methods that incorporate calendar year results containing contributions from prior policy years. The model is designed to simulate the underwriting and investment operations of an insurance company writing a single policy. Given specific underwriting and investment assumptions as well as certain operating constraints, the model calculates equity flows between the company and its stockholders. The interest rate for which the present value of these equity flows equals zero is defined as the IRR. Through an iterative process, the model determines the premium necessary to achieve a target rate of return. The target rate of return is selected as the return necessary to attract capital to the operation. The combined ratio associated with the required premium and all underwriting expenses and policyholder dividends provides the necessary underwriting profit provision to be included in the proposed rates (U/W profit provision = 1 - combined ratio). The operating constraints incorporated into the model are determined by a combination of Harleysville's current operations and the practical limitations of the model. The predominant constraint is the determination of a surplus amount to be maintained during the period for which obligations from the policy exist. Surplus requirements for the beginning of each year are determined by a selected reserve to surplus ratio for all years where reserves include unearned premium reserves and loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. These ratios have been selected to reflect the relative risk of the line of business being evaluated. The surplus is then increased or decreased by the statutory net income after federal income tax. The difference between the ending surplus amount and the required surplus for the beginning of the following year is the amount returned to the stockholder. This model assumes that the stockholders' funds are unlimited and further investments are made if the surplus falls below required levels. The underwriting results are based on statutory accounting principles and assumptions specific to the line of business being evaluated. The projected loss and allocated loss adjustment expense ratio, and other underwriting expenses are those developed in this filing for the prospective period. The loss, expense, and dividend payout patterns are based on historical analysis of the corresponding line of business. The model assumes premiums are earned and losses are incurred evenly over the term of the policy. Commissions are paid according to the collected premium patterns. Contingent commissions and residual market costs are assumed to be paid in the year following the year in which they are incurred

HARLEYSVILLE INSURANCE

Internal Rate of Return Model

Explanatory Memorandum for the Determination of Underwriting Profit Provision The investment results reflect current investment opportunities and company strategies. The current investment environment is the most accurate reflection of anticipated income generated from funds supplied by writing a policy today. The beginning surplus is distributed to various investment vehicles based on Harleysville's current investment strategy. The investment income earned in a particular year is based on an estimate of the average invested amount during the year and an assumed investment yield. The estimated invested amount is accomplished by incorporating 50% of the underwriting cash flow for the current year. A positive cash flow indicates additional surplus being invested during the year; whereas, a negative cash flow represents a depletion of surplus available for investment. The investment yields reflect those currently available in the market. The cash flow yield is an average based on the assumed investment distributions. Current federal tax laws and the Alternative Minimum Tax are considered in developing the operating results.

EXHIBIT B: Explanation

HARLEYSVILLE INSURANCE

Internal Rate of Return Model

Explanatory Memorandum for the Determination of Underwriting Profit Provision The underwriting profit provision contained in this filing was developed from the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Model displayed on the following pages. The IRR Model generates expected underwriting and investment results for the prospective period of the proposed rates. This provides a more appropriate reflection of anticipated profit than traditional methods that incorporate calendar year results containing contributions from prior policy years. The model is designed to simulate the underwriting and investment operations of an insurance company writing a single policy. Given specific underwriting and investment assumptions as well as certain operating constraints, the model calculates equity flows between the company and its stockholders. The interest rate for which the present value of these equity flows equals zero is defined as the IRR. Through an iterative process, the model determines the premium necessary to achieve a target rate of return. The target rate of return is selected as the return necessary to attract capital to the operation. The combined ratio associated with the required premium and all underwriting expenses and policyholder dividends provides the necessary underwriting profit provision to be included in the proposed rates (U/W profit provision = 1 - combined ratio). The operating constraints incorporated into the model are determined by a combination of Harleysville's current operations and the practical limitations of the model. The predominant constraint is the determination of a surplus amount to be maintained during the period for which obligations from the policy exist. Surplus requirements for the beginning of each year are determined by a selected reserve to surplus ratio for all years where reserves include unearned premium reserves and loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. These ratios have been selected to reflect the relative risk of the line of business being evaluated. The surplus is then increased or decreased by the statutory net income after federal income tax. The difference between the ending surplus amount and the required surplus for the beginning of the following year is the amount returned to the stockholder. This model assumes that the stockholders' funds are unlimited and further investments are made if the surplus falls below required levels. The underwriting results are based on statutory accounting principles and assumptions specific to the line of business being evaluated. The projected loss and allocated loss adjustment expense ratio, and other underwriting expenses are those developed in this filing for the prospective period. The loss, expense, and dividend payout patterns are based on historical analysis of the corresponding line of business. The model assumes premiums are earned and losses are incurred evenly over the term of the policy. Commissions are paid according to the collected premium patterns. Contingent commissions and residual market costs are assumed to be paid in the year following the year in which they are incurred

HARLEYSVILLE INSURANCE

Internal Rate of Return Model

Explanatory Memorandum for the Determination of Underwriting Profit Provision The investment results reflect current investment opportunities and company strategies. The current investment environment is the most accurate reflection of anticipated income generated from funds supplied by writing a policy today. The beginning surplus is distributed to various investment vehicles based on Harleysville's current investment strategy. The investment income earned in a particular year is based on an estimate of the average invested amount during the year and an assumed investment yield. The estimated invested amount is accomplished by incorporating 50% of the underwriting cash flow for the current year. A positive cash flow indicates additional surplus being invested during the year; whereas, a negative cash flow represents a depletion of surplus available for investment. The investment yields reflect those currently available in the market. The cash flow yield is an average based on the assumed investment distributions. Current federal tax laws and the Alternative Minimum Tax are considered in developing the operating results.

NOTICE REGARDING THE CIVIL UNION AND EQUALITY ACT (DELAWARE) This is to provide notice that, pursuant to the Delaware Insurance Department Domestic/Foreign Insurers Bulletin No. 46, this policy is in compliance with the Delaware Civil Union and Equality Act of 2011, 78 Del. Laws Ch. 22 (2011) (the "Act"). The Act, which becomes effective January 1, 2012, creates a form of legal union between two persons of the same sex who establish a civil union in accordance with the requirements of Delaware law. The Act provides that parties to a civil union shall have all of the same rights, protections and benefits, and shall be subject to the same responsibilities, obligations and duties, under Delaware law as are granted to, enjoyed by, or imposed upon married spouses. The Act further provides that a party to a civil union shall be included in any definition or use of the terms "dependent", "family", "husband and wife", "immediate family", "next of kin", "spouse", "stepparent", "tenants by the entirety", and other terms, whether or not gender-specific, that denote a spousal relationship or a person in a spousal relationship, as those terms are used throughout Delaware law. For all purposes of Delaware laws that refer to marriage or marital status, other than Chapter 1 of Title 13 of the Delaware Code, parties to a civil union will be included in such reference. In addition, the Act also automatically recognizes as civil unions, for all purposes of Delaware law, legal unions between two persons of the same sex, such as civil unions, marriages and domestic partnerships that are validly formed in jurisdictions other than Delaware and are substantially similar to Delaware civil unions. The provisions of the Act apply for all purposes of Delaware law, whether derived from statutes, administrative rules or regulations, court rules, governmental policies, common law, court decisions, or any other provisions or sources of law, which includes the Insurance Code and all regulations and bulletins promulgated thereunder. NOTICE REGARDING THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM PROTECTION AND CIVIL UNION ACT (ILLINOIS) This is to provide notice that, pursuant to Illinois Department of Insurance Company Bulletin 2011-06 (CB 2011-06), this policy is in compliance with the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act ("the Act", 750 ILL. COMP. STAT. 75/1). The Act, which became effective on June 1, 2011, creates a legal relationship between two persons of either the same or opposite sex who establish a civil union. The Act provides that parties to a civil union are entitled to the same legal obligations, responsibilities, protections and benefits that are afforded or recognized by the law of Illinois to spouses, whether they are derived from statute, administrative rule, policy, common law or any source of civil or criminal law. In addition, this law requires recognition of a same-sex civil union, marriage, or other substantially similar legal relationship, except for common law marriage, legally entered into in other jurisdictions. The Act further provides that "party to a civil union" shall be included in any definition or use of the terms "spouse", "family", "immediate family", "dependent", "next of kin" and other terms descriptive of spousal relationships as those terms are used throughout the law. According to CB 2011-06, this includes the terms "marriage" or "married" or any variations thereof. CB 2011-06 also states that if policies of insurance provide coverage for children, the children of civil unions must also be provided coverage. The undersigned warrants that the statements set forth in this application and its attachments and other material submitted to the insurer are true and correct. Although the signing of this application does not bind the applicant or insurer to effect insurance, the undersigned agrees that this application and its attachments shall be the basis of the contract should a policy be issued and shall be deemed attached to and shall form part of the policy. (Not applicable in North Carolina) The undersigned further declares that any occurrence or event taking place prior to the effective date of the insurance applied for which may render inaccurate, untrue, or incomplete any information in this application, will immediately be reported in writing to the insurer. Based on such new information, the insurer may withdraw or modify any outstanding quotations and or authorization or agreement to bind the insurance.

NOTICE REGARDING THE CIVIL UNION AND EQUALITY ACT (DELAWARE) This is to provide notice that, pursuant to the Delaware Insurance Department Domestic/Foreign Insurers Bulletin No. 46, this policy is in compliance with the Delaware Civil Union and Equality Act of 2011, 78 Del. Laws Ch. 22 (2011) (the "Act"). The Act, which becomes effective January 1, 2012, creates a form of legal union between two persons of the same sex who establish a civil union in accordance with the requirements of Delaware law. The Act provides that parties to a civil union shall have all of the same rights, protections and benefits, and shall be subject to the same responsibilities, obligations and duties, under Delaware law as are granted to, enjoyed by, or imposed upon married spouses. The Act further provides that a party to a civil union shall be included in any definition or use of the terms "dependent", "family", "husband and wife", "immediate family", "next of kin", "spouse", "stepparent", "tenants by the entirety", and other terms, whether or not gender-specific, that denote a spousal relationship or a person in a spousal relationship, as those terms are used throughout Delaware law. For all purposes of Delaware laws that refer to marriage or marital status, other than Chapter 1 of Title 13 of the Delaware Code, parties to a civil union will be included in such reference. In addition, the Act also automatically recognizes as civil unions, for all purposes of Delaware law, legal unions between two persons of the same sex, such as civil unions, marriages and domestic partnerships that are validly formed in jurisdictions other than Delaware and are substantially similar to Delaware civil unions. The provisions of the Act apply for all purposes of Delaware law, whether derived from statutes, administrative rules or regulations, court rules, governmental policies, common law, court decisions, or any other provisions or sources of law, which includes the Insurance Code and all regulations and bulletins promulgated thereunder. NOTICE REGARDING THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM PROTECTION AND CIVIL UNION ACT (ILLINOIS) This is to provide notice that, pursuant to Illinois Department of Insurance Company Bulletin 2011-06 (CB 2011-06), this policy is in compliance with the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act ("the Act", 750 ILL. COMP. STAT. 75/1). The Act, which became effective on June 1, 2011, creates a legal relationship between two persons of either the same or opposite sex who establish a civil union. The Act provides that parties to a civil union are entitled to the same legal obligations, responsibilities, protections and benefits that are afforded or recognized by the law of Illinois to spouses, whether they are derived from statute, administrative rule, policy, common law or any source of civil or criminal law. In addition, this law requires recognition of a same-sex civil union, marriage, or other substantially similar legal relationship, except for common law marriage, legally entered into in other jurisdictions. The Act further provides that "party to a civil union" shall be included in any definition or use of the terms "spouse", "family", "immediate family", "dependent", "next of kin" and other terms descriptive of spousal relationships as those terms are used throughout the law. According to CB 2011-06, this includes the terms "marriage" or "married" or any variations thereof. CB 2011-06 also states that if policies of insurance provide coverage for children, the children of civil unions must also be provided coverage. The undersigned warrants that the statements set forth in this application and its attachments and other material submitted to the insurer are true and correct. Although the signing of this application does not bind the applicant or insurer to effect insurance, the undersigned agrees that this application and its attachments shall be the basis of the contract should a policy be issued and shall be deemed attached to and shall form part of the policy. (Not applicable in North Carolina) The undersigned further declares that any occurrence or event taking place prior to the effective date of the insurance applied for which may render inaccurate, untrue, or incomplete any information in this application, will immediately be reported in writing to the insurer. Based on such new information, the insurer may withdraw or modify any outstanding quotations and or authorization or agreement to bind the insurance.
