Where the COMPANY has reason to believe, in good faith and with sufficient cause, that there is

POLICYHOLDER
|
DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF
|
TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE
|
(for policies with no terrorism exclusion or sublimit)
|
You are hereby notified that, under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (the “Act”), effective
|
December 26, 2007, this policy makes available to you insurance for losses arising out of
|
certain acts of terrorism. Terrorism is defined as any act certified by the Secretary of the
|
Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the
|
United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to
|
human life, property or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United
|
States, or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier or vessel or the premises
|
of a United States Mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as
|
part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the
|
policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.
|
You should know that the insurance provided by your policy for losses caused by acts of
|
terrorism is partially reimbursed by the United States under the formula set forth in the
|
Act. Under this formula, the United States pays 85% of covered terrorism losses that
|
exceed the statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company
|
providing the coverage.
|
However, if aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act
|
exceed $100 billion in a Program Year (January 1 through December 31), the Treasury
|
shall not make any payment for any portion of the amount of such losses that exceeds
|
$100 billion.
|
If aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act exceed
|
$100 billion in a Program Year (January 1 through December 31) and we have met our
|
insurer deductible under the Act, we shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of
|
the amount of such losses that exceeds $100 billion, and in such case insured losses up
|
to that amount are subject to pro rata allocation in accordance with procedures
|
established by the Secretary of the Treasury.
|
The portion of your policy’s annual premium that is attributable to insurance for such acts
|
of terrorism is: $ -0-.
|
If you have any questions about this notice, please contact your agent or broker.
