### Catastrophe Management Coverage
A.

B. A "catastrophe management event" will be deemed to first commence at the time during the "policy period" when a "key executive" first becomes aware of an "occurrence" that gives rise to the "catastrophe management event" and will end when we determine that any one of the necessary elements listed in the definition of a "catastrophe management event" no longer exists or when the "catastrophe management cost" Limit of Insurance shown in the Declarations has been exhausted, whichever occurs first.

C. There will be no "retained limit" applicable to "catastrophe management costs," except as it applies to a determination of whether the definition of "catastrophe management event" applies.

D. Payment of "catastrophe management costs" will not be applied to or erode the aggregate limits of the policy.
