the intention of such party to hold any Covered Party responsible as a result of any
occurrence, auto accident, wrongful act, employee benefits act, error or omission,
wrongful employment practice or any other event which might give rise to a claim or
suit against any Covered Party, its agents, employees or contractors, in any capacity;
or
B. The Covered Party shall become aware of any occurrence, wrongful act,
employee benefits act, error or omission, wrongful employment practice or any other
event which may subsequently give rise to a claim or suit against any Covered Party,
its agents, employees or contractors; the Covered Party shall, as soon as practicable,
give written notice to SDRMA of the receipt of such written or oral notice of such
alleged occurrence, auto accident, wrongful act, employee benefits act, error or
omission, wrongful employment practice, or other event. Upon SDRMA’s receipt of
such notice, any claim which may subsequently be made against the Covered Party
arising out of such alleged occurrence, wrongful act, employee benefits wrongful act,
or other event, for the purpose of the Memorandum, shall be treated as a claim made
during the policy period in which the alleged occurrence, auto accident, wrongful act,
employee benefits act, error or omission, wrongful employment practice, or other
event is reported.
If a claim is made or suit is brought against the Covered Party, the Covered Party shall
immediately forward to SDRMA every claim, demand, notice, summons or other
process received by the Covered Party or its representative(s). If any such claim
includes a claim for Employment Practices Liability covered herein, the Covered Party
has the option to comply with the special reporting requirement in order to avoid the
co‐risk financing provisions outlined in the Declarations and shall do so at the time
the suit, claim, demand, notice, summons or other process is first forwarded to
SDRMA.
In all cases, the Covered Party shall give SDRMA all information and all such
cooperation as SDRMA may reasonably require and which is in the Covered Party’s
power to give. The Covered Party shall do nothing after the loss to impair or impede
SDRMA’s right of equitable or legal subrogation, contribution or indemnification
against any other person or entity.
Defense and Settlement Provisions
A. The Covered Party shall not admit liability for or settle any claim or incur any costs
or expenses of investigation and/or defense in connection with any claim without

exhausted, SDRMA’s right and duty to defend ceases. At any time until the applicable
limit of liability is exhausted, SDRMA may, at its discretion, investigate any actual or
alleged occurrence, auto accident, wrongful act, employee benefits act, error or
omission or wrongful employment practice, and settle any claim or suit that may
result without the Covered Party’s consent. However, the amount that SDRMA will
pay for damages is limited as described in the limits of the DECLARATIONS attached
hereto and SDRMA’s right and duty to defend end when it has exhausted the

continued
applicable limit of coverage in the payment of judgments, settlements and/or
defense costs.
C. Should the Member desire to have input into decisions concerning settlement or
litigation as to liability exposures covered by SDRMA only, the Member shall notify
SDRMA, in writing, of such desire at the time that it first furnishes SDRMA notice of
the occurrence, auto accident, wrongful act, employee benefit act, error or omission,
wrongful employment practice or other event or suit. In the event SDRMA is so
notified by the Member, SDRMA shall consult with the Member in connection with
decisions concerning litigation and settlement. However, SDRMA shall retain the sole
and exclusive right to elect to settle any claim or suit.

into the litigation and settlement, SDRMA shall have the right and may at any time
recommend settlements to the Member without actually effectuating such
settlement. In such event, the Member may either:

are applicable thereto; or
2. If the Member disputes the proposed settlement, the Member shall notify
SDRMA in writing of such dispute. If, after further consultation, the
Member disputes the recommended settlement, and provided that
SDRMA does not exercise its option to unilaterally effectuate settlement,
the Member may elect to undertake the further investigation and/or
defense of the claim solely at its own expense, and pay such amounts of
indemnity that exceed the amounts recommended by SDRMA up to the
limits of risk financing afforded herein, and also pay the additional costs of
investigation and/or defense cost incurred from the date such investigation
and/or defense is undertaken by the Member.
