Article: V Section: 5
Section 5. Insurance. The Trustees shall purchase Errors
and Omissions Insurance for the purpose of obtaining indemnity
against liability of any kind arising out of acts or omissions
of such Trustees, including legal fees and other expenses of
litigation which the Trustees or any of them may incur; provided,
however, that such Errors and Omissions Insurance shall not protect
any Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustee's own
willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence; and provided
further, however, that such Errors and Omissions Insurance shall
permit recourse by the insurer against a Trustee or Trustees in
the case of a breach of fiduciary obligation by such Trustee or
Trustees. The Trustees are authorized to pay the premiums for
such Errors and Omissions Insurance from the assets of the Trust.
Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, the Trustees in their
individual capacity are authorized, for the appropriate additional
payment which is not paid from the assets of the Trust, to obtain
a nonrecourse endorsement on such Errors and Omissions Insurance.
Notwithstanding anything otherwise contained in this agreement,
with respect to any matter which calls for notice to the
Trustees hereunder, the Trustees shall have no obligation with
regard to any action or nonaction as to such matter until and
unless such notice is received by them.
The Trustees shall be fully protected in acting upon any
instrument, certificate, or paper believed by them to be genuine
and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons, and
shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to
any statement contained in any such writing, but may accept the
same as conclusive evidence of the truth and the accuracy of the
statements therein contained.
The Trustees may from time to time consult with the Plan's
legal counsel and shall be fully protected in acting upon the
advice of such counsel.
