Undemi g ID-1390 (Rev. 101)3) T'HE �raou�a DISCLOSURE RIDER Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 created a three-year program under which the Federal Government will share in the payment of covered losses caused by certain events of international terrorism. The Act requires that we notify you of certain components of the Act, and the effect, if any, the Act will have on the premium charged for this bond. Under this program, the Federal Government will cover 90% of the amount of covered losses caused by certified acts of terrorism, as defined by the Act. The coverage is available only when aggregate losses resulting from a certified act of terrorism exceed $5,000,000.00. Insurance carriers must also meet a variable deductible established by the Act. The Act also establishes a cap of $1,000,000,000.00 for which the Federal Government or an insurer can be responsible. Participation in the program is mandatory for specified lines of property and casualty insurance, including surety insurance. The Act does not, however, create coverage in excess of the amount of the bond, nor does it provide coverage for any losses that are otherwise excluded by the terms of the bond, or by operation of law. No additional premium has been charged for the terrorism coverage required by the Act.

Under this program, the Federal Government will cover 90% of the amount of covered losses caused by certified acts of terrorism, as defined by the Act. The coverage is available only when aggregate losses resulting from a certified act of terrorism exceed $5,000,000.00. Insurance carriers must also meet a variable deductible established by the Act. The Act also establishes a cap of $1,000,000,000.00 for which the Federal Government or an insurer can be responsible.
