MEDIA/PRO® REALITY TELEVISION SUPPLEMENT
PAYMENT OF CLAIM EXPENSE SHALL REDUCE AND MAY EXHAUST THE LIMITS OF THE POLICY. THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR CLAIM EXPENSE OR FOR THE AMOUNT OF ANY JUDGMENT OR SETTLEMENT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH EXCEEDS THE LIMIT OF INSURANCE OF THIS POLICY.
CLAIM EXPENSE SHALL BE APPLIED AGAINST THE SELF-INSURED RETENTION AND SHALL REDUCE, AND MAY EXHAUST, THE SELF-INSURED RETENTION.
CLAIMS MADE POLICY:
IF A POLICY IS ISSUED ON A CLAIMS MADE BASIS, CLAIMS MADE COVERAGE APPLIES ONLY TO THOSE CLAIMS THAT ARE FIRST MADE DURING THE POLICY PERIOD AND ANY EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD, IF APPLICABLE, AS THOSE TERMS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE POLICY. COVERAGE CEASES UPON TERMINATION OF THE POLICY PERIOD OR THE EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD, IF APPLICABLE. COVERAGE DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY OCCURRENCE COMMITTED BEFORE THE RETROACTIVE DATE STATED IN THE POLICY, IF ISSUED.
EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD:
IF A POLICY IS ISSUED ON A CLAIMS MADE BASIS, THE AUTOMATIC EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD IS SIXTY (60) DAYS FROM THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION DATE OF THE POLICY.
AN ADDITIONAL EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD CAN BE PURCHASED FOR A PERIOD OF ONE (1), TWO (2), OR THREE (3) YEARS.
THE EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD OPTIONS AND THE RESPECTIVE PERCENTAGE OF THE ANNUAL PREMIUM, AS STATED IN THE DECLARATIONS PAGE, THAT THE INSURED MUST PAY TO PURCHASE THE EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD ARE:
One Year = 100%
Two Year = 150%
Three Year = 175%
THE EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IT CAN PREVENT A GAP IN COVERAGE IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE REPLACEMENT COVERAGE OR YOU PURCHASE REPLACEMENT COVERAGE WITHOUT PRIOR ACTS COVERAGE. IN ADDITION, AT THE EXPIRATION OF ANY EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD, THERE MAY BE GAPS IN COVERAGE IF ANY SUBSEQUENT POLICY EITHER DOES NOT PROVIDE FULL PRIOR ACTS COVERAGE, OR IT IS AN OCCURRENCE POLICY.
MATURITY:
DURING THE FIRST SEVERAL YEARS OF THE CLAIMS MADE RELATIONSHIP, CLAIMS MADE RATES ARE COMPARATIVELY LOWER THAN OCCURRENCE RATES, AND INSUREDS CAN EXPECT SUBSTANTIAL ANNUAL PREMIUM INCREASES, INDEPENDENT OF OVERALL RATE LEVEL INCREASES, UNTIL THE CLAIMS MADE RELATIONSHIP REACHES MATURITY.
