cash receipts or inserting her name as payee on customers' checks during 100 separate
incidents, each for less than $10,000, and the limit of insurance was $10,000, the court

,and that the $10,000 limit was the most the insured was liable to pay. - Correct

termination of employee theft coverage with respect to any employee who has
