NAME OF ASSURED: CENTRAL SECURITIES CORPORATION     
 
                                                     NEW YORK AMENDATORY ENDORSEMENT     
 
It is agreed that this Bond is amended as follows:     
 
1.    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 authorized agent or 
    broker, if any, written notice of termination at least sixty (60) days before the effective date of 
    termination.     
 
    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 
    effective date of termination. Furthermore, when the Bond is a renewal or has been in effect for sixty 
    (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;     
 
    2.    Conviction of a crime arising out of acts increasing the hazard insured against ; 
 
    3.    Discovery of fraud or material misrepresentation in the obtaining of this Bond or in the presentation 
        of a claim thereunder;     
 
    4.    Violation of any provision of this Bond that substantially and materially increases the hazard 
        insured against, and which occurred subsequent to inception of the current BOND PERIOD; 
 
    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;     

ICAP Bond - New York   
Form 17-02-2863 (Rev. 7-03)  Page 1 


    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, however, 
    may deliver any notice instead of mailing it. 
    Return Premium Calculations 
    The COMPANY shall refund the unearned premium computed pro rata if this Bond is terminated by the 
    COMPANY." 
2.    By adding a new Section reading as follows: 
    "Section 17. Election To Conditionally Renew / Nonrenew This Bond 
    Conditional Renewal 
    If the COMPANY conditionally renews this Bond subject to: 
    1.    Change of limits of liability ; 
    2.    Change in type of coverage; 
    3.    Reduction of coverage; 
    4.    Increased deductible; 
    5.    Addition of exclusion; or 
    6.    Increased premiums in excess of 10%, exclusive of any premium increase due to and 
        commensurate with insured value added; or as a result of experience rating, retrospective rating or 
        audit; the COMPANY shall send notice as provided in Notices Of Nonrenewal And Conditional 
        Renewal immediately below. 
    Notices Of Nonrenewal And Conditional Renewal 
    1.    If the COMPANY elects not to renew this Bond, or to conditionally renew this Bond as provided 
        herein, the COMPANY shall mail or deliver written notice to the ASSURED at least sixty (60) but 
        not more than one hundred twenty (120) days before: 
        a.    The expiration date; or 
        b.    The anniversary date if this Bond has been written for a term of more than one year.

    2.    Notice shall be mailed or delivered to the ASSURED at the address shown on the 
        DECLARATIONS of this Bond and the authorized agent or broker, if any. If notice is mailed, proof 
        of mailing shall be sufficient proof of notice. 
 
    3.    Paragraphs 1. and 2. immediately above shall not apply when the ASSURED, authorized agent or 
        broker, or another insurer has mailed or delivered written notice to the COMPANY that the Bond 
        has been replaced or is no longer desired. 
 
3.    By adding to General Agreement B., Representations Made By Assured, the following: 
 
    No misrepresentation shall be deemed material unless knowledge by the COMPANY would have lead to 
    the COMPANY'S refusal to write this Bond. 
 
 
 
 
This Endorsement applies to loss discovered after 12:01 a.m. on April 1, 2008. 
 
 
 
 
ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS BOND REMAIN UNCHANGED.

                                           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.
