          from covered events which first occurred after the retroactive date.



Section 2: Insuring Clauses

          We agree to pay to or on behalf of an insured all reasonable response costs necessarily incurred by the insured
          resulting from a cyber event, data breach event or media liability event.

2.2       Liability
          We agree to pay to or on behalf of an insured all loss arising from any claim resulting from a cyber event, data
          breach event or media liability event.

Section 3: Automatic Extensions
These Automatic Extensions to coverage apply automatically and are subject to the insuring clauses and all other terms
and conditions of this policy.

A sub-limit of indemnity may apply to an Automatic Extension. All applicable sub-limits are specified in the schedule. The
sub-limit is the maximum amount payable by us under an Automatic Extension. A sub-limit is part of and not in addition to
the indemnity limit.

A deductible may apply to an Automatic Extension. All applicable deductibles are specified in the schedule. The
deductible is inclusive of defence costs, unless otherwise specified in the schedule.

3.1       Advancement of Defence Costs
          We agree to pay for defence costs in respect of any claim covered by this policy as and when they are incurred
          prior to final resolution of the claim.

          The maximum amount of defence costs we will advance is the amount of any applicable sub-limit or the
          indemnity limit. Upon exhaustion of the applicable sub-limit or the indemnity limit our obligation to advance
          defence costs will cease.

          However, any defence costs that are paid will be repayable to us by the insured in the event and to the extent
          that it is subsequently determined that the insured was not entitled to the payment of the defence costs under
          this policy.

3.2       Business Interruption – Human or System Error
          We agree to pay to or on behalf of an insured business interruption loss incurred by the insured as a direct
          result of a system outage which first occurs during the insurance period and is caused by a system or human
          error.

5				                                                                             DUAL New Zealand Cyber Insurance Policy 11.23
3.3      Business Interruption – Reputational Damage
         We agree to pay to or on behalf of an insured business interruption loss that is a direct result of the loss of
         current or future customers caused by damage to the insured’s reputation, from when a cyber event is first
         discovered until 30 days after the end of the system outage.

3.4      Botnetting and Phreaking Expenses
         We agree to pay to or on behalf of an insured the increased costs of utilities (including electricity, telephone call
         or usage charges, and bandwidth) resulting from botnetting or phreaking.

3.5      Continuous Cover
         Notwithstanding Exclusion 5.20 (Prior Known Facts) we agree to provide cover in respect of any claim otherwise
         covered by this policy made against the insured during the insurance period where the insured:

         a.    first became aware, prior to the insurance period, that a claim might or could arise from facts or
               circumstances known to it; and

         b.    had not notified us of such facts or circumstances prior to the insurance period,

      provided that:

               i.     we were the cyber liability and privacy protection insurer of the policyholder when the insured first
                      became aware of such facts or circumstances and have continued, without interruption, to be the
                      policyholder’s cyber liability and privacy protection insurer until this policy came into effect;

               ii.    there has not been any fraudulent non-disclosure or fraudulent misrepresentation by an insured in
                      respect of such facts or circumstances;

               iii.   if the fact or circumstance had been notified under the previous policy, the insured would have been
                      entitled to indemnity under the previous policy;

               iv.    if we had been notified of the facts or circumstances when the insured first became aware of such
                      facts, the insured would have been indemnified under the policy in force at that time, however is
                      now not entitled to be indemnified by that policy, and the insured would, but for Exclusion 5.20 (Prior
                      Known Facts) otherwise be indemnified by this policy;

               v.     we have the discretion to apply either the terms and conditions of the policy on foot when the insured
                      first became aware of the facts and circumstances, including the indemnity limit and deductible, or the
                      terms and conditions of this policy; and

               vi.    the insured all agree only to make a claim under one cyber liability and privacy protection policy
                      issued by us.
         For the purpose of this Automatic Extension only, the definition of we/us/our in clause 6.58 of this policy
         also includes the Underwriter(s) for which we were the agent on any previous policy issued by us as such
         underwriter’s agent to the insured. Subject to the terms of this Automatic Extension and the terms of this
         policy, the intention of this Automatic Extension is to provide continuous cover notwithstanding any change in
         the identity of the underwriters for which we presently act, or have previously acted, as agent.

3.6      Court Attendance Costs
         We agree to pay to or on behalf of an insured any reasonable attendance costs of any officer or employee of the
         insured who is legally compelled to, and does, attend court or any other proceeding as a witness or defendant in
         a claim or regulatory investigation covered by this policy, to an amount of $500 per day.

3.7      Cyber Extortion
         We agree to:

         a.    pay to or on behalf of the insured all reasonable fees, costs and expenses necessarily incurred by the
               insured to engage an approved provider to provide advice and assistance on whether and how to respond
               to a cyber extortion demand; and


6				                                                                               DUAL New Zealand Cyber Insurance Policy 11.23
       b.   indemnify the insured for all monies paid by the insured with our prior written consent and which payment
            is legally permitted in satisfaction of a cyber extortion demand.

3.8    Discovery Period
       An insured may give us written notice of any:

       a.   covered event first discovered during the insurance period; or

       b.   claim first made against an insured during the insurance period,
       during a discovery period immediately following the insurance period of:

       c.   60 days granted automatically with no additional premium payable, unless an insured has made any claims
            for indemnity against this policy during the insurance period; or

       d.   12 months, if the policyholder requests such period in writing within 30 days after the end of the
            insurance period and tenders an additional premium of 100% of the expiring annual premium,
            commencing immediately after the end of the insurance period, such premium is payable within 30 days
            of the receipt by us of such written request; or

       e.   36 months, if a transaction takes place and the policyholder requests such period in writing within
            30 days following the end of the insurance period, on such terms and conditions, if any, and for such
            additional premium as we may reasonably require.

       This Automatic Extension is not available if this policy is:

       f.   renewed or replaced with any similar or like cyber liability and privacy protection insurance; or

       g.   cancelled or avoided.
       Any discovery period purchased under this Automatic Extension is non-cancellable and the premium paid for
       the discovery period is fully earned by us and is non-refundable.

3.9    Emergency Costs
       If our written consent cannot reasonably be obtained before defence costs are incurred by an insured, we will
       pay those defence costs if the insured obtains our consent within thirty (30) days of the date that the first of
       those defence costs were incurred.

       If we subsequently determine that there is no entitlement under this policy for any defence costs that we have
       paid under this Clause, the insured must repay those amounts to us immediately.

3.10   Enforceable Undertaking Expenses
       We agree to pay to or on behalf of the insured any enforceable undertaking expenses incurred by the insured
       as a direct result of a regulatory investigation commenced during the insurance period.

       We agree to pay to or on behalf of an insured all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the insured,

      this policy, having regard to the relative legal and financial exposures attributable to covered and uncovered
      matters and/or parties.

      If an allocation cannot be agreed then it will be determined by a suitably qualified Senior Counsel to be mutually
      agreed upon or, in default of agreement, to be nominated by the then President of the Bar Association of the
      jurisdiction in which this policy was underwritten. The Senior Counsel will make a determination as an expert
      based on the relative legal and financial exposures attributable to covered and uncovered matters and/or
      parties. Submissions made to the Senior Counsel will be in writing. Pending Senior Counsel’s determination
      we will meet the covered amounts on an interim basis at the percentage at which we contend they should be
      fairly and equitably allocated. After the allocation has been determined or agreed, such allocation will be applied
      retrospectively. The parties agree to be bound by the Senior Counsel’s determination. The costs of any referral
      for determination to a Senior Counsel under this Clause will be borne by us.

           limit, or any applicable sub-limit, (after deduction of any amount already paid) or any lesser amount for
           which a claim or claims may reasonably be settled.

          rights of recovery and/or subrogation. This may include providing and signing statements and other documents
          and the giving of evidence.

          Where a recovery is made, the proceeds of such a recovery will be applied as follows:

          a.   firstly, to the satisfaction of all costs incurred in effecting the recovery;

          b.   secondly, to the insured for the covered amount in excess of the indemnity limit specified in the schedule
               which is also in excess of any excess insurance purchased over this policy;

          c.   thirdly, to us and any excess insurers amounts paid under this policy and such excess policies;

          d.   finally, to the insured for the amount paid in respect of the deductible.

8.2   Goods and Services Tax
      Where upon receiving any indemnity payment under this policy, the insured is liable to pay tax under Section
      5(13) of the Goods and Services Act 1985 (or any statutory amendment or re-enactment of the Section or Act)
      and/or under the equivalent legislation in any other jurisdiction to which this cover applies, we will indemnify the
      insured for the amount of that tax. The indemnity under this clause is payable by us in addition to the indemnity
      limit.

8.3   Alteration to Risk
      An insured must notify us in writing as soon as practicable of any material alteration to the risk during the
      insurance period including:

      a.   the insured going into voluntary bankruptcy, receivership, administration or liquidation; or

      b.   the insured failing to pay debts as and when those debts become due; or

      c.   the insured breaching any other obligation giving rise to the appointment of a receiver or the
           commencement of bankruptcy or winding up proceedings; or

      d.   any material change in the nature of the insured’s business.
      We may not cover an insured for any claim if the insured does not notify us in writing as soon as practicable of
      any material alteration to risk.

      If during the insurance period, a transaction occurs, then the cover under this policy will only apply to any
      covered event first discovered or claim first made against the insured prior to the effective date of the
      transaction.

      If, during the insurance period, the policyholder decides to make a public offering of its securities in any
      jurisdiction, the policyholder must provide us with any prospectus or offering statement for our review and
      assessment. We will be entitled to amend the terms and conditions of this policy and/or charge an additional
      premium reflecting any potential increase in exposure, which we deem reasonable.

8.4   Assignment
      An insured must not assign this policy or any rights under this policy without our prior written consent by way of
      endorsement to this policy.

8.5   Cancellation
      a.   The insured may cancel the policy at any time by notifying us in writing.

      b.   The insured may cancel the policy at any time by sending 30 days notice in writing to the insured named
           in the schedule of the date from which cancellation is to take effect. Such notice may be delivered
           personally, posted, emailed or faxed to the insured named in the schedule or their representative last
           notified to us.

      c.   On cancellation of this policy, we will retain the proportion of the premium calculated pro-rata as at the
           date of the cancellation plus fifteen percent (15%) of that amount.

8.6   Several Liability of Underwriters
      The obligations of our subscribing underwriters, where there is more than one underwriter referred to in the

      schedule subscribing to this policy, are several and not joint and are limited solely to the extent of their individual
      subscriptions. No subscribing underwriter is responsible for the subscription of any co-subscribing underwriter
      who, for any reason, does not satisfy all or part of its obligations.

8.7   Confidentiality
      An insured must not disclose, either personally or through any person or entity acting on the insured’s behalf or
      at the insured’s direction, to any third party:



23				                                                                           DUAL New Zealand Cyber Insurance Policy 11.23
       a.   the existence of this policy;

       b.   the nature of the indemnity provided;

       c.   the indemnity limit; or

       d.   the amount of premium paid.
       However, the insured may disclose the above matters to the extent that:

            i.     the insured is required to do so by law;

            ii.    we consent to the disclosure in writing;

            iii.   it is necessary to disclose to the insured’s professional advisers including accountants, auditors, legal
                   advisers and insurance brokers; or

            vi.    we provide a Certificate of Currency which can be provided to third parties.

8.8    Territorial Scope
       Unless otherwise stated in the schedule and subject to General Condition 8.9 (Jurisdictional Limitation), cover
       provided under this policy extends to the conduct of an insured anywhere in the world.

8.9    Jurisdictional Limitation
       Unless otherwise stated in the schedule, cover provided under this policy extends to loss with respect to a
       claim brought and maintained anywhere in the world.

8.10   Governing Law
       This policy is governed by the laws of New Zealand where this policy was issued. Any dispute relating to policy
       interpretation will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of New Zealand where this policy was
       issued.

8.11   Indemnity Limit
       a.   Subject to any extension of coverage which states otherwise, our total liability under this policy in respect
            of any one covered event or claim, and in the aggregate for all covered events and all claims for all
            insureds, will not exceed the indemnity limit inclusive of all covered amounts.

       b.   The schedule will indicate the indemnity limit applicable to this policy. If more than one policy has been
            purchased, the schedule will also indicate the aggregate indemnity limit for all policies which have been
            purchased by the policyholder.

       c.   We will have no liability in excess of the sub-limits specified in the schedule in the aggregate for the
            applicable extension of cover, irrespective of the number of policy sections, which respond to a covered
            event or claim. In such circumstances, we will apply the higher of the sub-limits or indemnity limit available.

       d.   For the purposes of determining the indemnity limit available for:

            i.     each claim covered by this policy, all claims arising from the same covered event or related covered
                   events, shall be regarded as one claim; and

            ii.    each covered event covered by this policy, related covered events shall be regarded as one covered
                   event.

8.12   Deductible
       a.   Our liability under this policy for covered amounts will only apply to that part of each covered amount
            which is in excess of the deductible or waiting period, whichever applies, specified in the schedule. Such
            deductible or waiting period will be borne by the insured, except where otherwise provided.

       b.   Unless otherwise expressed in the schedule, all deductibles are inclusive of all covered amounts to the
            amount of the deductible.


24				                                                                           DUAL New Zealand Cyber Insurance Policy 11.23
       c.   Except as otherwise stated in this policy, costs and expenses incurred by us in determining whether we
            are liable to indemnify the insured under this policy will not erode the indemnity limit and will be met by us.

       d.   For the purposes of determining the deductibles available for:

            i.    each claim covered by this policy, all claims arising from the same covered event or related covered
                  events, shall be regarded as one claim; and

            ii.   each covered event covered by this policy, related covered events shall be regarded as one covered
                  event.

8.13   Related Claims
       a.   Where multiple policy claims directly or indirectly arise out of or are in any way connected with the same
            covered event or other originating cause, all of those policy claims will be deemed to be a single policy
            claim, reported at the date of the first such policy claim.

       b.   Any claims or covered events which trigger more than one insuring clause under this policy will be
            deemed to be a single policy claim, and only one deductible shall apply. In respect of a business
            interruption loss, one waiting period and one deductible shall apply. Where two or more deductibles of
            differing values are applicable, the highest deductible shall apply.

8.14   Severability, Non-imputation and Non-avoidance
       No state of mind or knowledge possessed by any one insured person will be imputed to any other insured
       person for the purpose of determining whether any provision in this policy applies. However, any state of mind
       or knowledge possessed by any past or present chairman of the board, chief executive officer, chief operating
       officer or chief financial officer of the policyholder or any subsidiary will be imputed to the policyholder.

       We agree not to rescind or avoid this policy in whole or in part, for any reason.

8.15   Preservation of Right to Indemnity
       In the event and to the extent that the policyholder has not indemnified an insured person but is legally
       permitted or required to do so in respect of a covered event or claim, but for whatever reason, refuses to do so,
       then we will pay on behalf of the insured person any covered amounts within the deductible and the applicable
       deductible will be paid by the policyholder to us.

8.16   Other Insurance
       All claims payable under this policy will not be in excess of any other insurance indemnity or cover available to
       the insured in respect of that claim. If such other insurance is provided by us, or any other member company,
       associate or affiliate, and it covers a loss covered by this policy in respect of a claim or loss, the indemnity limit
       under that other policy in respect of that claim or loss shall be reduced by any amount paid by us (or member
       company, associate or affiliate) under this policy. This policy will not be subject to the terms of any other
       insurance, unless specifically agreed.

8.17   Currency
       Any reference to premium, limits, deductibles and covered amounts are expressed and are payable in New
       Zealand Dollars. Where any payment is to be made into an admitted foreign jurisdiction, such payment is to be
       made and denominated in New Zealand Dollars at the cash rate for the purchase of New Zealand Dollars set by
       the Reserve Bank of New Zealand as at 4.00pm on the date which the foreign payment becomes due.

8.18   Basis of Valuation
       With respect to any direct financial loss which is covered under this policy, we are not liable for more than:

       a.   The actual market value of securities or money at the close of business on the day the direct financial
            loss was first discovered (determined by the value published in the New Zealand Stock Exchange and/or
            Reserve Bank of New Zealand, or the actual cost of replacing the securities or money, whichever is less; or




25				                                                                            DUAL New Zealand Cyber Insurance Policy 11.23
            b.     The actual cash value of other tangible property (not referred to in a. above) at the close of business on
                   the day the direct financial loss was first discovered, or the actual cost of replacing the property with
                   property of like quality of value, whichever is less; or

            c.     The cost of blank books, blank pages or other materials plus the cost of labour and computer time for the
                   actual transcription or copying of data furnished by the insured in order to reproduce books of account
                   and other records; or

            d.     The cost of labour for the actual transcription or copying of electronic data furnished by the insured in
                   order to reproduce such electronic data.

8.19        Interpretation
            Words and phrases appearing in bold text and where used in this policy, have the meaning defined in this policy.

            To the extent that there are any inconsistencies between this policy and this General Conditions Section, the
            terms and conditions contained in this policy will prevail.

            In this policy:

            a.     the singular includes the plural;

            b.     including means including without limitation;

            c.     the headings are for descriptive purposes only; and
            if any portion of this policy is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in full force and
            effect.
