deliveries of London Bars within, and gold bars and coins

outside, of the lower 48 States.

SECTION C

insured using accepted business practices for precious

metals delivery that may include, amongst others, use of a

conventional shipping carrier (e.g., U.S. Postal Service,

Federal Express, United Parcel Service); or an armored

transportation service.

A Delivery Applicant can utilize a shipping carrier only if

insurance requirements can be met and the Delivery

Applicant and the Sponsor agree on an acceptable delivery

destination. Armored Transportation Service will only
