The Member further agrees, the Trust shall control all aspects of subrogation recovery efforts. In its discretion, the Trust may seek recovery of the applicable Member deductible or self-insured retention and in such event, will return to the Member the proportionate amount of the Member deductible or self-retention, less the proportionate amount of attorney’s fees and related costs incurred by the Trust to effect the recovery.

B. The Member agrees the Board of Trustees, its Administrator, and any of their other agents, servants, employees or attorneys, shall be permitted at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to inspect the property, work places, plants, works, machinery and appliances covered pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement, certificate, document, or other instrument executed by the Member and the Trust pursuant to this Agreement, and shall be permitted at all reasonable times while the Member participates in the Trust, to examine the Members' books, vouchers, contracts, documents and records of any and every kind which show or tend to show or verify any loss that may be paid or may have been paid by the Trust on behalf of the Member pursuant to this Agreement, or any other agreement, certificate, document, or other instrument executed by the Member and the Trust pursuant to this Agreement, or which show or verify the accuracy of any contribution which is paid or payable by the Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any other agreement, certification, document or any other instrument executed by the Trust and the Member pursuant to this Agreement. The Member further agrees that in the event of a significant loss occurrence affecting insured property or premises, FMIT or its agents are expressly authorized to enter the insured property and premises to perform loss assessment, adjustment and related activities.

However, neither the Trust, its Board of Trustees, its Administrator, nor any of their agents, servants or employees will have any liability to the Member or others because of any inspection or failure to inspect.

C. The Member shall make prompt payment of all contributions as required by the Board of Trustees, said contributions to be determined by said Board. Contribution requirements may be estimated based on Member-provided information and subject to change pursuant to final audit. The Member shall fully cooperate with auditors of the Trust to promptly determine final audited contributions. Any disputes concerning contributions shall be resolved after payment. Any objections concerning the final

FMIT COND 1025 Page 2 of 3 audited contribution shall be filed within 60 days of billing of the final audited contributions. After that time, the final audited contribution amount shall be considered final. The Trust reserves the right to apply any Member contribution or payment to any outstanding balance owed by the Member.

D. Members’ duties after loss:

1. give the Trust prompt written notice of any accident, occurrence or potential claim along with all relevant information concerning the claim. The Member shall have a continuing duty to provide to the Trust all relevant information promptly as the Member becomes aware of such information; and

2. cooperate fully with the Trust in defense or settlement of claims or opposition to claims bills, and in the enforcement of any right of contribution or indemnity; and

3. forward to the Trust every notice, demand, summons or other process served upon the Member relating to any occurrence, and take no further action concerning the occurrence without the approval of the Trust or the servicing agent; and

4. take reasonable steps to prevent additional or cumulative bodily injury, personal injury or property damage from or arising out of the same or similar conditions or circumstances; and

5. not engage in settlement negotiations as to any claim or suit, and the Trust shall have no obligation to pay the amount of any settlement negotiated or agreed upon by a Member without prior written approval by the Trust or the servicing agent; and

6. agree to take all reasonable actions, where appropriate, which shall facilitate settlement of claims; and

7. agree to responsible counsel selected by the Trust to defend the claim and agree not to use the City Attorney or any other in-house or contract attorney used ordinarily by the Designated Member as general counsel to its operations to defend said action, unless otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement; and

8. keep all bills, receipts and related documents that establish the amount of loss; and

9. furnish a complete inventory of the lost, damaged and destroyed property, showing in detail the quantity and amount of loss claimed under the valuation provision of the Coverage Agreement; and

10. promptly separate the damaged property from the undamaged property, and keep it in the best possible order for examination; and

11. take all reasonable steps to protect the covered property from further damage; and

12. give notice of such loss to the proper authorities if the loss may be due to a violation of the law; and

13. refrain from any intentional efforts (whether by statements, actions or agreements) that: (1) harm, undermine, injure or conflict with the known legal strategy put forth by the Trust; (2) that are against the Member’s self-interest or the interest of the Trust; (3) that are contrary to the Member’s pecuniary or proprietary interest, or that of the Trust; or (4) that tend to subject the Member or the Trust to liability or expand existing liability;

E. Transfer of Member’s rights and duties under this Agreement.

Members’ rights and duties under this Agreement may not be transferred without our written consent. This applies to all coverages under this Agreement or any that may be added after the effective date of this Agreement.

FMIT COND 1025 Page 3 of 3

Should the Members’ rights and duties be transferred to a legal representative, they may act only within their scope of duties with regard to this Agreement. Until your legal representative is appointed, anyone having proper temporary custody of your property will have your rights and duties but only with respect to that property.

F. Required Member contributions shall be in addition to the deductible amount, if any, as set forth in the declarations to the Coverage Agreement. Where such deductible amount is required, coverages arising under this Agreement shall be in excess of such deductible. The Trust may pay on behalf of the Member all or any portion of the deductible amount and upon notification by the Trust of such payment, the Member shall promptly reimburse the Trust for any portion of the deductible the Trust has paid.

G. In the event any claim or suit results in liability against the Member for which there is coverage under this Agreement and which is reasonably likely to be submitted to, or is submitted to, the legislative claims bill process in the Florida Legislature, the Member agrees, on behalf of itself, its officers, employees, and agents, that the Trust shall have the right to control its representation in such matter before the legislative branch of the state government. Further, the Member agrees to execute and deliver such instruments and papers as required by the Trust, to cooperate with any attorney or other representative retained by the Trust, to provide relevant testimony if required by the Trust, to do whatever else is reasonably necessary in the interest of defending such claim or suit in the legislative claims bill process and to do nothing that will impair or conflict with the rights of the Trust herein described. Additionally, the Member shall refrain from any intentional efforts (whether by statements, actions or agreements) that harm, undermine, injure or conflict with the known legal or legislative defense strategy being put forth by the Trust, that are against the Member’s self-interest, that are contrary to the Member’s pecuniary or proprietary interest, or that of the Trust, or that tend to subject the Member or the Trust to liability or expand existing liability.

H. The Member agrees that in the event of any legal issue between the Trust and any Member requiring disposition by a court of law, including any determinations of whether and/or the extent to which coverage exists, this Agreement, or any other agreement, certificate, document, or other instrument executed by the Trust and the Member pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been made in Orange County, Florida and venue shall lie in the appropriate state or federal courts of Orange County, Florida.

COVERAGE AGREEMENT

APPLICABLE TO: GENERAL/PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY AND AUTOMOBILE COVERAGE

In consideration of the Designated Member’s payment of the required contributions and the covenants and terms set forth in (a) the Conditions of Coverage, (b) the Member’s Application for Participation including the statements and representations contained therein, (c) the Declarations and

(d) the Coverage Agreement including coverage endorsements, terms, conditions, limits of liability, exclusions and other provisions thereof (a, b, c, and d hereinafter collectively forming and referred to as the “Coverage Agreement”), the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust (hereinafter the “Trust”) hereby enters this Coverage Agreement with the Member as follows:

COVERAGE

The Trust will pay all sums which a Member becomes legally obligated to pay as Damages because of:

Bodily Injury Property Damage Personal Injury, or Advertising Injury to which this Coverage Agreement and any endorsements thereto apply if caused by an Occurrence which takes place during the coverage period of this Coverage Agreement.

As a pre-requisite to any coverage provided by the Trust under this Coverage Agreement, the Member expressly agrees to each of the Conditions contained in the Conditions of Coverage provided with this Coverage Agreement, along with the provisions of the Coverage Agreement and Declaration of Trust creating the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust and any rules, policies and procedures adopted by the Trust, which shall be deemed part of this Coverage Agreement, whether expressly restated herein or not.

LIMIT OF LIABILITY

A. Regardless of the number of (1) Members covered by this Coverage Agreement, (2) persons or organizations who sustain injury or damage, or (3) Claims made or Suits brought because of bodily injury, property damage, personal injury or advertising injury, the liability of the Trust is limited as follows:

The most the Trust will pay for each covered Occurrence including, but not limited to, Damages, damage awards for derivative claims, taxable costs, claimant attorney’s fees, and prejudgment or post-judgment interest, shall not exceed the sum shown in Declarations under the column referred to as “Limit” beside the respective line of coverage the Trust applies to the given Occurrence, when such line of coverage is part of the Designated Member’s Coverage Agreement, subject to any further coverage restriction or limitation whose application is described with greater specificity elsewhere within the Coverage Agreement or the applicable endorsement. Unless otherwise specified, the costs and expenses necessary to investigate and defend any Claim or Suit to which this Coverage Agreement applies shall not reduce the Limit of Liability.

For the purpose of determining the limit of the Trust's liability, all Damages arising out of continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same general conditions shall be considered as arising out of one Occurrence, as that term is defined herein.

FMIT CA 1025 Page 2 of 20

B. Limit of Liability for Sexual Abuse and Sexual Action.

The most the Trust will pay for all Claims or Suits alleging Sexual Abuse or Sexual Action and related Damages shall not exceed a limit of $3,000,000 in the aggregate per Trust coverage year.

All claims arising out of the same Sexual Action or Sexual Abuse act, including all interrelated sexual abuse acts of the Designated Member shall be deemed to be one claim subject to the limit of liability for a single claim and only one deductible shall be applicable to such single claim. Such claim shall be deemed to be first made on the date the earliest of such claims is first made, regardless of whether such date is before or during the Agreement period. All damages and all expenses from a single claim shall be deemed a single damage and claim expense.

DEFENSE AND SETTLEMENT

The Trust will settle or defend, as it considers appropriate, any Claim or Suit demanding Damages covered by this Coverage Agreement. The Trust will defend any Suit against a Member which alleges a Claim for Damages covered by this Coverage Agreement even if such Suit is eventually found groundless, false or fraudulent. However, the Trust has no duty to defend or indemnify a Member in any Claim or Suit which alleges facts excluded or not covered by this Coverage Agreement.

In the event a Suit contains allegations which allege Damages which the Trust has a duty to defend and other allegations which allege Damages the Trust does not have a duty to defend, the Trust will defend the Suit subject to the terms, conditions, limits of liability and exclusions of the Coverage Agreement; however, undertaking such defense shall not obligate the Trust to pay any judgments, settlements or awards which a Member becomes legally obligated to pay for allegations to which coverage does not apply. The Trust’s duty to defend ends when applicable Limits of Liability have been exhausted.

As a condition of coverage under this Coverage Agreement, the Member agrees that settlement of any Claim or Suit may involve the payment of proceeds and/or the taking or forbearing to take certain actions by the Member. Accordingly, the following requirements shall apply to all settlement efforts by the Trust and any party acting as the Trust’s appointed representative or agent:

1. For any Occurrence resulting in a Claim or Suit for Damages, if the Trust gives written notice of its recommendation for settlement, including the payment of proceeds to settle a Claim or Suit and/or the taking or forbearing to take certain actions by the Member, and the Member does not affirmatively accept such recommendation within a reasonably requested time period contained in the notice, not to exceed thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, the Trust’s sole coverage obligation to the Member shall then not exceed the lesser of:

a. The sum for which the Claim or Suit could have been settled at the time set forth in the notice of the Trust’s recommendation for settlement; and

b. The unpaid costs and expenses incurred by the Trust to defend the Claim or Suit through the date on which the Member was required to provide its affirmative acceptance of the recommendation for settlement; or

c. If less than the sum of a. and b. above, the unused portion of the stated limit of liability contained within the Declarations, less any self-insured retention or deductible amounts owed by the Member.

FMIT CA 1025 Page 3 of 20

2. In its application of the foregoing provision, the Trust shall have no obligation to provide prior notice or obtain prior authorization of the Member or its legal counsel before making any proposed settlement, actual settlement or partial settlement of any Claim or Suit covered under this Coverage Agreement.

3. If two or more deductible amounts apply to coverage owed under this Coverage Agreement, as a result of a single Occurrence, FMIT shall apply only the largest deductible applicable to the coverage owed. If two or more limits apply to coverage owed under this Coverage Agreement, as a result of a single Occurrence, FMIT shall apply only the largest limit applicable to the coverage owed.

As a condition of coverage under this Coverage Agreement, the Member agrees:

1. For any Occurrence resulting in a Claim or Suit for Damages for which coverage under this Coverage Agreement is sought, the Trust, in its sole discretion, may investigate; settle; coordinate the defense of Claims or counts within Suits which may not be expressly covered by this Coverage Agreement but which provide strategic benefits through coordinated litigation; and/or use of any other Claim defense measures permitted by applicable state law or rules of attorney professional conduct, without the prior consent or approval of the Member.

2. The Trust shall have no obligation to retain more than one attorney to defend all Members involved in any Occurrence resulting in a Claim or Suit for Damages covered by this Coverage Agreement, absent a clearly expressed conflict of interest by the attorney initially retained by the Trust.

3. The Trust shall remain in control of the defense for any Occurrence resulting in a Claim or Suit for Damages for which the Trust is obligated to provide a defense or elects to provide a defense to the Member, notwithstanding any of the following:

a. There is more than one defendant against whom a Claim or Suit is brought;

b. There is any real or perceived conflict between or among the Trust, any Member or any defendant(s) involved in any Claim or Suit;

c. The Trust has reserved its right to deny or limit its coverage in any Claim or Suit;

d. The Trust or the Member initiates any Claim or Suit against any other Trust Member.

4. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction orders the Trust to provide attorney representation beyond the attorney(s) retained by the Trust to defend any Claim or Suit, the Member shall be entitled to the fees and charges for such court-ordered attorney representation only to the extent of usual, customary and reasonable legal fees and charges ordinarily paid to attorneys retained by the Trust.
