By adding to Section 13, Termination, the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bonds In Effect Sixty (60) Days Or Less
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this Bond has been in effect for less than sixty (60) days and if it is not a renewal Bond, the
|
|
|
COMPANY may terminate it for any reason by mailing or delivering to the ASSURED and to the

|
|

|
Bonds In Effect More Than Sixty (60) Days
|

|
|

If this Bond has been in effect for sixty (60) days or more, or if it is a renewal of a Bond issued by the

|
|
COMPANY, it may be terminated by the COMPANY by mailing or delivering to the ASSURED and to
|
|
|
the authorized agent or broker, if any, written notice of termination at least sixty (60) days before the

|
|
|
(60) days or more, the COMPANY may terminate only for one or more of the reasons stated in 1-7
|
|
|
below.

|
|
1.
|
|
Nonpayment of premium;
|

|
|
|
5.
|
|
If applicable, material physical change in the property insured, occurring after issuance or last
|
|
|
|
|
annual renewal anniversary date of this Bond, which results in the property becoming uninsurable
|
|
|
|
|
in accordance with the COMPANY's objective, uniformly applied underwriting standards in effect
|
|
|
|
|
at the time this Bond was issued or last renewed; or material change in the nature or extent of
|
|
|
|
|
this Bond occurring after issuance or last annual renewal anniversary date of this Bond, which

causes the risk of loss to be substantially and materially increased beyond that contemplated at
|
|
|
|
|
the time this Bond was issued or last renewed;
|
|
|
|
6. |
A determination by the Superintendent of Insurance that continuation of the present premium volume of the COMPANY would jeopardize the COMPANY's policyholders, creditors or the public, or
continuing the Bond itself would place the COMPANY in violation of any provision of the New York Insurance Code; or |
|
|
7. |
Where the COMPANY has reason to believe, in good faith and with sufficient cause, that there is |
|
| |
a |
probable risk or danger that the Property will be
destroyed by the ASSURED for the purpose of collecting the insurance proceeds. |
|
| |
Notice Of Termination |
|
| |
Notice of termination under this SECTION shall be mailed to the ASSURED and to the authorized agent or broker, if any, at the address shown on the DECLARATIONS of this Bond. The COMPANY,

By adding a new Section reading as follows: |

ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS BOND REMAIN UNCHANGED. |
You are hereby notified that, under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the Act)
|
effective November 26, 2002, this policy makes available to you insurance for losses
|
arising out of certain acts of international 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 acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest, 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 90% of covered terrorism losses that
|
exceed the statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company
|
providing the coverage. The portion of your policys 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.
