POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF
TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE (for
policies with no terrorism exclusion or sublimit) Insuring Company: Federal Insurance Company

You are hereby notified that, under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (the “Act”), 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 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. Beginning in 2016, the Federal share will be reduced by 1% per year until it reaches 80%, where it will remain.

However, if aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act exceed $100 billion in a calendar year, 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 calendar year 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-.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO POLICYHOLDERS


HAVE YOU BEEN TRICKED INTO WIRE FRAUD? TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION!

If you believe you have transferred funds to a criminal posing as a legitimate business associate, you should act quickly:
1.
Immediately contact the originating bank and request a recall of the wire transfer and confirm that recall in writing.
2.
Immediately file a complaint with the FBI at www.ic3.gov. This reporting triggers the FBI’s Recovery Asset Team and the FBI’s assistance seeking return of the wire transfer.
3.
Preserve records of the incident, including emails sent and received in their original electronic state. Correspondence and forensic information contained in these electronic files help investigators shed light on the perpetrator(s), and parties responsible for the incident.
4.
Once the above steps are complete, contact Chubb per the instructions in your policy.
While neither recalling the wire transfer nor reporting to the FBI guarantees the return of your funds, these steps maximize the opportunity to mitigate your loss, assist the FBI in tracing the funds and help establish any insurance claim.
Simple Steps to Prevent Fraudulently Induced Wire Transfers
Email communication is efficient, but it is not a secure method of communication. Regardless of your familiarity with a contact, that contact’s email may be intercepted, altered and fabricated. You may reduce the chances of fraud by following these best practices:
1.
Verify Email Requests by Telephone: Require those responsible for paying invoices or changing bank routing information to verify payment details over the phone, rather than by email or documents sent electronically. Making a phone call to a known, pre-existing telephone number remains the single best protection against fraud.
2.
Segregate Wire Transfer Responsibilities: Establish a standing policy that requires at least three people to review and approve wire transfer requests, pay an invoice or change a business partner’s bank account information. Such requests should be entered by the initiator of the wire and verified by two independent signatories.
3.
Turn on MFA for Cloud Email: Multifactor Authentication is available from all major email providers. It provides a layer of security to email accounts beyond a user’s account name and password, making it harder for criminals to impersonate you, your executives and your employees.
This document is for information only. It is offered as a resource to be used together with your professional insurance advisers in maintaining a loss prevention program. No liability is assumed by reason of the information this document contains.

U.S. Treasury Department’s Office Of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) Advisory Notice to Policyholders

This Policyholder Notice shall not be construed as part of your policy and no coverage is provided by this Policyholder Notice nor can it be construed to replace any provisions of your policy. You should read your policy and review your Declarations page for complete information on the coverages you are provided.

This Notice provides information concerning possible impact on your insurance coverage due to directives issued by OFAC. Please read this Notice carefully.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) administers and enforces sanctions policy, based on Presidential declarations of "national emergency". OFAC has identified and listed numerous:

Foreign agents;
Front organizations;
Terrorists;
Terrorist organizations; and
Narcotics traffickers;

as "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons". This list can be located on the United States Treasury's web site – http//www.treas.gov/ofac.

In accordance with OFAC regulations, if it is determined that you or any other insured, or any person or entity claiming the benefits of this insurance has violated U.S. sanctions law or is a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person, as identified by OFAC, this insurance will be considered a blocked or frozen contract and all provisions of this insurance are immediately subject to OFAC. When an insurance policy is considered to be such a blocked or frozen contract, no payments nor premium refunds may be made without authorization from OFAC. Other limitations on the premiums and payments also apply.

c.
a financial institution acting on behalf of such Customer with authority to make such instructions,

The Company may, at its sole option, elect to conduct the defense of all or part of such legal proceeding. The defense by the Company shall be in the name of the Assured through attorneys selected by the Company. The Assured shall provide all reasonable information and assistance as required by the Company for such defense.



If the Company elects to defend all or part of any legal proceeding, the court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Company and any settlement or judgment on that part defended by the Company shall be a loss under the applicable Insuring Clause of this Bond. In addition, if the amount demanded in the legal proceeding is greater than the amount recoverable under this Bond, or if a Deductible Amount is applicable, or both, the Company’s liability for court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in defending all or part of such legal proceeding is limited to the proportion of such court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred that the amount recoverable under this Bond bears to the total of the amount demanded in such legal proceeding.
If the Company declines to defend the Assured, no settlement without the prior written consent of the Company or judgment against the Assured shall determine the existence, extent or amount of coverage under this Bond, and the Company shall not be liable for any costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Assured.
