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.  

 

10-02-1281 (Ed. 1/2003)



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.
