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.
