POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE

Coverage for acts of terrorism is already included in your policy (including any quotation for insurance) to which this notice applies. You are hereby notified that under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended in 2015, the definition of act of terrorism has changed. As defined in Section 102(1) of the Act: The term “act of terrorism” means any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury – in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, 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 certain air carriers or vessels 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.

Under your coverage, any losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism may be partially reimbursed by the United States Government under a formula established by the Terrorism Risk

Insurance Act, as amended. HOWEVER, YOUR POLICY MAY CONTAIN OTHER EXCLUSIONS WHICH MIGHT AFFECT YOUR COVERAGE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, AN EXCLUSION FOR NUCLEAR EVENTS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. Under the formula, the United States Government generally reimburses 85% through 2015; 84% beginning on January 1, 2016; 83% beginning on January 1, 2017; 82% beginning on January 1, 2018; 81% beginning on January 1, 2019 and 80% beginning on January 1, 2020 of covered terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, contains a USD100 billion cap that limits U.S. Government reimbursement as well as insurers’ liability for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism when the amount of such losses exceeds USD100 billion in any one calendar year. If the aggregate insured losses for all insurers exceed USD100 billion, your coverage may be reduced.

The portion of your annual premium that is attributable to coverage for certified acts of terrorism as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended in 2015, is 1%. This amount does not include any charges for the portion of loss covered by the Federal Government under the Act.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT UNDER THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT, AS AMENDED IN 2015, ANY LOSSES CAUSED BY CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM UNDER MY POLICY MAY BE PARTIALLY REIMBURSED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND ARE SUBJECT TO A USD100 BILLION CAP THAT MAY REDUCE MY COVERAGE, AND I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE PORTION OF MY PREMIUM ATTRIBUTABLE TO SUCH COVERAGE.
