you have set and make sure there is oversight
and training. (Faithful Performance)

made. (Commercial Loans)

10. Beware
• Not meant to create additional exposure.
• Do we need higher D&O limits?
• Should we implement Indemnification in by-
laws?
• Regulators?

11. Suits As Result Of These Changes?
• No change at this juncture. Distressed market.
May be looked at harder in the future when the
next distressed market comes.
• Volunteers as opposed to paid directors
• Failures normally bring more exposure. Not so
far when compared to banks.
• Regulators attitude? Time will tell.
