Each of the parties comprising the insured shall for the purpose of this policy be considered a separate
co-insured entity, insured on a composite basis, with the words "the insured" applying to each as if

otherwise) exceed the limit of indemnity or amount stated to be insured under that section or policy.
Accordingly, the liability of the insurers under this policy to any one insured shall not be conditional
upon the due observance and fulfilment by any other insured party of the terms and conditions of this
policy or of any duties imposed upon that insured party relating thereto, and shall not be affected by
any failure in such observance or fulfilment by any such other insured party.
It is understood and agreed that any payment or payments by insurers to any one or more of the
insured's shall reduce, to the extent of that payment, insurers' liability to all such parties arising from

insured party in circumstances of fraud misrepresentation non-disclosure or material breach of
warranty or condition of this policy (each referred to as a "Vitiating Act") committed by that insured
party save where such misrepresentation non-disclosure or breach of warranty or condition was
committed innocently and in good faith.
For the avoidance of doubt it is however agreed that a Vitiating Act committed by one insured party
shall not prejudice the right to indemnity of any other insured who has an insurable interest and who
has not committed the Vitiating Act.
Insurers hereby agree to waive all rights of subrogation and/or recourse which they may have or
acquire against any insured party (together with their employees and agents) except where the rights
of subrogation or recourse are acquired in consequence of a Vitiating Act in which circumstances
insurers may enforce such rights against the insured responsible for the Vitiating Act notwithstanding
the continuing or former status of the vitiating party as an insured.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this policy or any other document or any act and/or omission
by any insured party insurers agree that:-
1. no party other than the Authority has any authority to make any warranty, disclosure or
representation in connection with this policy on behalf of the Authority;
2. where any warranty, disclosure or representation is required from the Authority in
connection with this policy insurers will contact the Authority in writing (in accordance with
Endorsement 3 below) and set out expressly the warranty, disclosure and/or representation
required within a reasonable period of time from the Authority (regarding itself); and
3. save as set out in a request from insurers to the Authority in accordance with paragraph (2)
of Endorsement 2 above, the Authority shall have no duty to disclose any fact or matter to
insurers in connection with this policy save to the extent that for the Authority not to

non-disclosure.

Treasury's agents or advisers or other body or bodies nominated by HM Treasury for

similar nature to this Contract, the parties shall meet with a view to agreeing:-
