    or continuing the Bond itself would place the COMPANY in violation of any provision of the New
    York Insurance Code; or

    a probable risk or danger that the Property will be destroyed by the ASSURED for the purpose of

(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
