following limitations.
The iniured volunteer will be reimbursed directly for medical expenses that they
would (a) be eligible to have paid under Workers' Compensation Benefits Law
and (b) of which they have incurred ("out of pocket" expenses).
:2.
Coverage does not apply to any volunteer whose injury makes them eligible for
Volunteer Firefighters' Benefits Law or Volunteer Ambulance Workers Benefits
Law.
3. This coverage will not reimburse the volunteer for medical bills that are
otherwise reimbursable under any other insurance coverage.
4. If the named insured is eligible for experience rating, losses paid under this
endorsement will be applied in the same manner as losses of paid employees.
5. In no event will reimbursements claimed under this coverage endorsement
exceed $5,000 for any one occurrence.
If we make a recovery from others, we will keep an amount equal to our
expense of recovery and the benefits we paid. We will pay the balance to the
persons entitled to it. If the persons entitled to the benefits of this coverage
make a recovery from others, they must reimburse us for the benefits we paid
them.
7'. Before we pay benefits to the persons entitled to them, they must:
A. Transfer to us the right to recover from others who may be responsible
for injury or death to the extent that we render payment.
B. Cooperate with us and do everything necessary to enable us to enforce
the right to recover from others.
If the person entitled to the benefits of this coverage fails to do those things,

terms of this agreement may not be changed or waived except by endorsement

B. Who Is Covered
You are covered if you are an employer named in the Declarations Page.

Workers Compensation Law means the Workers Compensation Law of the State

benefits, and, except as provided by endorsement to this agreement, any federal
workers compensation law or occupational disease law.
D. Locations
This agreement covers all usual workplaces of the member in the State of New
York at or from which operations covered by this agreement are conducted,
except as otherwise excluded herein. Coverage afforded by this agreement is
extended to cover employees who are employed and regularly engaged in
operations of the member in the State of New York, or who may be temporarily
outside this state in connection with operations within New York State. With
regard to such employment, if the member or any injured employee is deemed
subject to the law for "damages" or the workers compensation law of a state not
named in this agreement, the laws of such state will apply and any loss,
PERNIA WC04 (ED, t0-02)
compensation, or other benefits will be payable under this agreement in
accordance with such laws.
Definitions
For purposes of this Coverage Agreement, the following definitions apply:
"Injury" means injury, sickness or disease as defined by the Workers
Compensation Law of the State of New York, sustained by a person,
including death resulting from any of these at any time, but only if:
(i) the "injury" arises out of and in the course of the injured employee's
employment by you;
(ii) the injured employee's employment is necessary or incidental to your
work in the State of New York; and
the "injury' occurs during the agreement period; except that, if the
employee's "injury" is a sickness or disease, that sickness or disease is
caused or aggravated by the conditions of your employment and the
employee's last day of last exposure to the conditions causing or
aggravating such disease occurs during the agreement period.
"Occurrence" means an event, including continuous or repeated exposure to
substantially the same general harmful conditions, which event causes
"injury" to one or more employees.
"Damages" means money damages you are legally obligated to pay in your
capacity as employer or otherwise. Where permitted by law, "damages"
includes damages:
(i)
for which you are liable to a third party by reason of a claim or suit against
you by that third party to recover the damages claimed against such third
party as a result of injury to your employee;
(ii) for care and loss of services; and
(iii) for consequential bodily injury to a spouse, child, parent, brother or sister
of the injured employee.

PART FOUR - CONTRIBUTION
Our Manuals
All contribution for this coverage will be determined by our manuals of rules,
rates, rating plans and classificationsl We may change our manuals and apply
the changes to this coverage if authorized by the PERMA Board of Directors.
Variation of Manual Rates
We may apply contribution rates to the coverage that are in excess of or less
than manual rates. Variations of manual rates will be determined by us
according to our appraisal of you and your business operations as a risk.
Classifications
The Declarations Page shows the rate and contribution basis for certain business
or work classifications. These classifications were assigned based on an
estimate of the exposures you would have during the agreement period. If your
actual exposures are not properly described by those classifications, we will
assign proper classifications, rates and contribution basis by endorsement to this
agreement.
Remuneration
Contribution for each work classification is determined by multiplying a rate times
a contribution basis. Remuneration is the most common contribution basis. The
contribution basis includes payrotl and all other remuneration paid or payable
during the agreement period for the services of:
1. all your officers and employees engaged in work covered by this agreement;
and
all other persons engaged in work that could make us liable under Part One
(Workers Compensation Coverage) of this agreement. ~f you do not have
payroll records for these persons, the contract price for their services and
materials may be used as the contribution basis. This paragraph 2 will not
apply if you give us proof that we deem sufficient to establish that the
employers of these persons have lawfully secured their workers
compensation obligations.
PERMA WC04 (ED. 10-02)
E. Contribution Payments
F=
You will pay all contributions when due. You will pay the contributions even if
part or all of the Workers Compensation Law is not valid.
Final Contribution
The contribution shown on the Declarations Page, schedules, and
endorsements, where applicable, is an estimate. The final contribution will be
determined at the end of the agreement period by using the actual, not the
estimated, contribution basis and the proper classifications and rates that lawfully
apply to the business and work covered by this agreement. If the final
contribution is more than the contribution you paid to us, you must pay us the
balance. If it is less, we will refund or credit the balance to you. The final
contribution will not be less than the highest minimum contribution for the
classifications covered by this agreement.
If this agreement is cancelled, final contribution will be determined pursuant to
Part Five - Conditions, Paragraph D. Cancellation.
Records
You will keep records of information needed to compute contributions. You will
provide us with copies of those records when we ask for them.
Audit
You will let us examine and audit all your records that relate to this coverage,
whether these records pertain to the current agreement period or to any previous
agreement period. These records include ledgers, journals, registers, vouchers,
contracts, tax reports, payroll and disbursement records, and programs for
storing and retrieving data. We may conduct the audits during regular business
hours during the agreement period and within three years after the agreement
period ends. Information developed by audit will be used to determine final
contribution. Insurance rate service organizations have the same rights we have
under this provision.
PART FIVE - CONDITIONS
Inspection
We have the right, but are not obligated~ to inspect your workplaces at any time.
Our inspections are not safety inspections. They relate only to the coverage
eligibility of the facilities and the contributions to be charged. We may give you
repor[s on the conditions we find. We may also recommend changes. While
they may help reduce losses, we do not undertake to perform the duty of any
person to provide for the health or safety of your employees or the public. We do
not warrant that your facilities are safe or healthful or that they comply with laws,
regulations, codes or standards. Insurance rate service organizations have the
same rights we have under this provision.
PERMA WC04 (ED. 10-02) 9
B. Renewal
This agreement renews automatically and continues in full force after the
expiration of the original period of coverage for succeeding periods of twelve
months or such other period as stipulated by endorsement, unless either party
shall provide the other with written notice of its intent not to renew this agreement
satisfying the requirements of written notice as outlined under Paragraph D.
Cancellation. Any notice of intent not to renew provided by the member less than
30 days pdor to the renewal date shall be ineffective as a notice of non-renewal
under this section but shall be deemed, to the extent otherwise valid, a notice of
termination by member under Paragraph D. Cancellation, subparagraph 3.
You are liable for the contribution for each succeeding agreement period. Each
renewal contribution is payable by you at the beginning of each new period when
you are notified of the amount.
C. Transfer Of Your Rights and Duties
Your rights or duties under this agreement may not be transferred without our
written consent.
If you die and we receive notice within 30 days after your death, we will cover
your legal representative as a covered party if the death resulted from a
compensable injury under the Workers Compensation Law.
D. Cancellation
This agreement may be terminated other than at its renewal date as follows:
By PERMA for the member's failure or refusal to make any payments set
forth herein, which termination shall be effective 10 days following written
notice by PERMA to the member, unless the member shall have made such
payment prior to the expiration of said 10 days. Contribution payments
received by us after cancellation is effective will not reinstate the agreement.
Such payments will be credited to your account to cover any balance due on
the final contribution. Mailing notice to the member at the mailing address in
the Declarations Page is sufficient to prove notice.
By PERMA for other cause, including but not limited to the member's failure
to comply with the terms of the PERMA Workers Compensation Program
Agreement, the terms of the member's workers compensation and/or
employer's liability coverage agreement with PERMA, or the rutes,
regulations or by-laws of PERMA, on 60 days' advance written notice to the
member. Mailing notice to the member at the malting address in the
Declarations Page is sufficient to prove notice.
By member if you secure benefits for your employees in another manner that
complies with the Workers Compensation Law. You must deliver written
notice via certified mail to us which specifies the date you propose
cancellation to take effect. Notwithstanding the date you specify, cancellation
will not take effect until thirty days after the date notice is received by PERMA
PERMA WC04 (ED. 10-02)
including ten days for filing of notification in the office of the Chair of the
Workers Compensation Board.
In the event coverage is terminated pursuant to subparagraph 1. or 3. of this
Paragraph, the member shall pay any and all contribution owed for the pedod
preceeding termination, computed using the New York Compensation
Insurance Rating Board Short Rate Cancellation Table, including the
procedure accompanying such Table. The final contribution will not be less
than the m~nimum contribution.
tn the event coverage is otherwise canceled, final contribution will be
calculated pro rata based on the time this agreement is in force. Final
contribution then will not be less than the pro rata share of the minimum
contribution.
Any of these provisions that conflicts with a law that controls the cancellation
of the coverage in this agreement is changed by this statement to comply
with that law.
E. Sole Representative
The member first identified in Item 1 of the Declarations Page shall act on behalf
of all members to change the agreement, receive return contributions, and give
or receive notice of cancellation.
F. Declarations
By acceptance of this agreement, the member agrees that the statements in the
declarations and any other related application documents are its agreements and
representations, and that this agreement is issued in reliance upon the truth of
such representations and that this agreement embodies all agreements existing
between the member and PERMA and any of its agents relating to this coverage
document.
In witness whereof, PERMA has caused this agreement to be executed and attested, but
this agreement shall not be valid unless countersigned by a duly authorized
representative of PERMA.

agreement Period if you and your employees described in the Schedule were
subject to the New York Workers Compensation Law. We will pay those
amounts to the persons who would be entitled to them under the law.
F. Recovery From Others is replaced by the following:
~f we make a recovery from others, we will keep an amount equal to our
expenses of recovery and the benefits we paid. We will pay the balance to
