B – No claims are made against the Insured in each of the three policy periods following attendance at the seminar.

C – 1) If there are no claims made against the Insured during the three year "Risk Management credit" term, the Insured
may re-qualify for credit by attending another seminar during the third year of the "Risk Management credit" term and
prior to the policy period expiration date. Insureds must meet the risk management criteria every 3 years.

2) If a claim is made against the Insured during any of the three years of the "Risk Management" term the credit will be
lost at the next policy anniversary date. The Insured may re-qualify by attending a seminar during the policy period for
which the credit is lost, provided there are no additional claims made during the policy period. However, the risk
management credit will not be applied to any renewal for the year in which the claim was made. If any additional claims
are made, the Insured must wait an additional year before he is eligible to re-qualify for the credit.
