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.

 

10-02-1281 (Ed. 03/2015)


 

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-.
 
If you have any questions about this notice, please contact your agent or broker.
