Payment under this Rider shall not reduce the bond amount in the first paragraph of this Bond or affect its availability. The Surety shall indicate that $50,000 is available to pay such fines and penalties for each NVOCC listed on appendix A to this Rider wishing to exercise this option.

In no event shall the Surety's obligation under this Rider exceed the amount set forth in section 1a regardless of the number of claims.

This Rider is effective the ____ day of ____, 20____, and shall continue in effect until discharged, terminated as herein provided, or upon termination of the Bond in accordance with the sixth paragraph of the Bond.

Such termination shall become effective thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice and proof of transmission by the Federal Maritime Commission.
