Definition of D&O Insurance

Directors and officers (D&O) insurance is risk-reduction coverage for the executive staff of companies that may be subject to lawsuits. Lawsuits occasionally are filed when investors lose money, and upper management--especially directors, officers and board members--can be included. Even if the lawsuits are dropped or settled outside of court, attorneys fees can be high. D&O insurance limits the liability, so that the personal assets of each director or officer are not compromised.

    History of D&O Insurance

  1. Lloyd's of London introduced D&O insurance in the 1930s, but there wasn't a tremendous need for the policies until the 1960s, when changes in the interpretation of securities laws made it possible that not only corporations but also directors and officers could face significant liability.
  2. Likely Targets

  3. The Watson Wyatt Worldwide Survey regarding lawsuits involving corporations reports that corporations with large assets are most likely to be named in a lawsuit. According to the survey, the most likely organizations to have claims filed against their directors and officers and have more claims per entity are large national banks. Large technology companies also have become targets of lawsuits, mainly because of the fluctuations in the value of stock and significant losses by investors.
  4. Coverage Areas

  5. Over time, the coverage areas included in D&O protection have expanded. A-side endorsement coverage provides coverage for officers and directors that includes legal-defense costs when a company does not indemnify its directors and board members. Some states do not allow companies to indemnify their officers and directors in such lawsuits as securities violations.
    B-side endorsement provides coverage to officers and directors who are indemnified by their company. This section does not cover or reimburse costs or losses for the corporation itself.
    C-side endorsement coverage allows for entity securities coverage, which provides coverage when securities claims are made against the corporation and its officers and directors.
  6. Customized Coverages

  7. .D&O insurance has evolved as insurance providers strive to meet the needs of their clients. Customization of benefits designed to fit specific industries is available because the types of suits and claims differ from organization to another. For example, health care organizations face different types of suits than large banking organizations, whose coverage needs will differ from those of technological companies.
  8. Exclusions

  9. Exclusions to D&O insurance coverage include fraud and dishonesty. The policy will not cover costs caused by the breaking of laws. It also does not provide coverage when one corporate member is suing another member of the same corporation. And there is no coverage for professional liability, meaning that if a board member also serves as an attorney for the corporation, the policy doesn't extend to the member if he is acting as attorney for the corporation. It covers only members serving in their capacity as corporate officers.

找到一个可以替代ghs.google.com的地址

用Goole Blogger的自定义域名功能需要用到 ghs.google.com 做CNAME,或者用ping ghs.google.com 得出的IP做一个A记录.但是,伟大的GFW已经把 ghs.google.com 和部分IP屏蔽在大陆之外.这样的壮举使得我们的自定义域名不能正常访问,或者让你的网页背景.图片被滤掉,精心做成的模板变得惨白不堪. 那么,我们可不可以找一个替代 ghs.google.com 的地址呢?当然能.因为Google是强大的.它有许多有用的IP地址让你去探寻. 对 ghs.google.com 分析研究后发现, ghs.google.com 这台服务器并没有提供实质性的服务,而只是选择访问者访问最快的服务器(Google全球性公司,很多地区都有服务器).我们只要找到其他服务器的IP地址,并且这个IP地址没被屏蔽,那么就成了. 寻找这样的IP地址需要用到tracert命令.即在CMD模式下输入:tracert ghs.google.com ,在已经屏蔽的当下,最后自然得不出结果,这就需要我们使用代理了.使用不同地区的代理运行tracert ghs.google.com 命令. tracert ghs.google.com 的最后一跳会有类似这样的域名: eh-in-f121.google.com 如果在不用代理的情况下,你能ping通这个域名,那么恭喜你,你找到了!现在就可以用这个域名代替 ghs.google.com 设置你的CNAME了,ping出的IP地址可以做A记录,CNAME和A记录,只做其中之一就可以. hs-in-f121.google.com 64.233.179.121 eh-in-f121.google.com 72.14.207.121 bx-in-f121.google.com 66.249.81.121 ik-in-f121.google.com 66.249.91.121 这4个在我所在地区不能使用,而可以使用 tw-in-f121.google.com 72.14.235.121 或者209.85.171.121也可用 下面是一些不断更新的:74.125.43.121 除了使用代理来寻找,也可以通过一些网站提供的功能来寻找这个地址,很方便,就是使用网站提供的Traceroute.这些网站有: h...
