committed by the Insured, arising out of the performance of notarial service for others in the Insured’s capacity as a duly commissioned and sworn
Notary Public.

POLICY PERIOD: This policy applies only to negligent acts, errors or omissions which occur during the Policy Period and then only if
claim, suit or other action arising therefrom is commenced within the applicable Statute of Limitations pertaining to the Insured. The Policy Period
commences on the Effective Date hereof and terminates upon the expiration of the Insured’s commission as a Notary Public unless cancelled earlier
as provided in this policy. This policy is not valid for more than one commission term.

INSURED’S DUTIES IN THE EVENT OF OCCURRENCE, CLAIM OR SUIT:
(a) Upon knowledge of any occurrence which may reasonably be expected to result in a claim or suit, written notice containing
particulars sufficient to identify the Insured and also reasonably obtainable information with respect to the time, place and circumstances thereof, and
the names and addresses of the potential claimant and of available witnesses, shall be given by or for the Insured to the Company or any of its
authorized agents as soon as practicable, but in no event longer than forty-five (45) days after discovery.

OTHER INSURANCE: If the Insured has other insurance against a loss covered by this policy, the Company shall not be liable under this
