Insurance Policy Billing Information
Thank you for selecting The Hartford for your business insurance needs.
Shortly, you will receive your first bill from us. You are receiving this Notice so you know what to expect as a valued customer of The Hartford. Should you have any questions after reviewing this information, please contact us at 866-467-8730, and we will be happy to assist you.
o Your total policy premium will appear on your policy’sDeclarations Page. You will be billed based on the payment plan you selected.
o You may pay the "minimum due" as it appears on your insurance bill or pay the policy balance in full. o An installment service fee is added to each installment. A late fee will also be applied if the "minimum due" is not received by the due date shown on your bill. Service and late payment fees do not apply in all states. o If you selected installment billing, any credit or additional premium due as the result of a change made to your policy, will be spread over the remaining billing installments. Additional premium due as a result of an audit will be billed in full on your next bill date following the completion of the audit. o If you elected Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), policy changes may result in changes to the amount automatically withdrawn from your bank account. The invoice you receive following a policy change will include future withdrawal amounts. If you need to adjust or stop your next scheduled EFT withdrawal, please contact us at least 3 days prior to the scheduled withdrawal date at the telephone number shown below. o If you selected installment billing and pay the premiums for your first policy term on time, at renewal, your account may qualify for our "Equal Installment" feature. This means that the percentage due for each installment, including the initial renewal installment, will be the same throughout the policy term – helping you better manage cash flow.
Equal installments will continue as long as you pay your premiums on time and no cancellation notices are issued for any policy on your account. If you no longer qualify for Equal Installments, future renewals will be billed based on the payment plan you selected, which includes a higher initial installment amount. o If your policy is eligible for renewal, your bill for the upcoming policy term will be sent to you approximately 30 days prior to your policy’srenewal date. If your insurance needs change, please contact us at least 60 days prior to your renewal date so we can properly address any adjustments needed. o One bill convenience -- you have the option of combining all eligible Hartford policies on one single bill allowing you to make one payment for all policies on your account as payments are due.
You’reIn Control
In addition to selecting a bill plan option that best meets your budget, you have the flexibility to decide how your payments are made …
o Repetitive EFT: Sign up for Repetitive EFT payments and have payments automatically withdrawn from your bank account. This option saves you money by reducing the amount of the installment service fee. o Pay Online: Register at www.thehartford.com/servicecenter. Online Bill Pay is Quick, Easy and Secure! o Pay by Check: Send a check with your remittance stub in the envelope provided with your bill. o Pay by Phone: Call toll-free 1-866-467-8730.

THIS ENDORSEMENT IS ATTACHED TO AND MADE PART OF YOUR POLICY IN
RESPONSE TO THE DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT.

DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO TERRORISM RISK
INSURANCE ACT
SCHEDULE
Terrorism Premium:
$
A. Disclosure Of Premium
In accordance with the federal Terrorism Risk
Insurance Act, as amended (TRIA), we are required
to provide you with a notice disclosing the portion of
your premium, if any, attributable to coverage for
"certified acts of terrorism" under TRIA. The portion
of your premium attributable to such coverage is
shown in the Schedule of this endorsement.
B. The following definition is added with respect to the provisions of this endorsement:
1. A "certified act of terrorism" means an act that is
certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
accordance with the provisions of TRIA, to be
an act of terrorism under TRIA. The criteria
contained in TRIA for a "certified act of
terrorism" include the following:
a. The act results in insured losses in excess
of $5 million in the aggregate, attributable to
all types of insurance subject to TRIA; and
b. The act results in damage within the United
States, or outside the United States in the
case of certain air carriers or vessels or the
premises of an United States mission; and
c. The act is a violent act or an act that is
dangerous to human life, property or
infrastructure and is 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
C. Disclosure Of Federal Share Of Terrorism
Losses
The United States Department of the Treasury will
reimburse insurers for a portion of insured losses,
as indicated in the table below, attributable to
"certified acts of terrorism" under TRIA that exceeds
the applicable insurer deductible:
Calendar Year Federal Share of
Terrorism Losses
2015 85%
2016 84%
2017 83%
2018 82%
2019 81%
2020 or later 80%
However, if aggregate industry insured losses under
TRIA 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. The United States government has not
charged any premium for their participation in
covering terrorism losses.
164 of 629
Form SS 83 76 01 15 Page 2 of 2
D. Cap On Insurer Liability for Terrorism Losses
If aggregate industry insured losses attributable to
"certified acts of terrorism" under TRIA exceed $100
billion in a calendar year and we have met, or will
meet, our insurer deductible under TRIA, we shall
not be liable for the payment of any portion of the
amount of such losses that exceed $100 billion. In
such case, your coverage for terrorism losses may
be reduced on a pro-rata basis in accordance with
procedures established by the Treasury, based on
its estimates of aggregate industry losses and our
estimate that we will exceed our insurer deductible.
In accordance with the Treasury's procedures,
amounts paid for losses may be subject to further
adjustments based on differences between actual
losses and estimates.
E. Application of Other Exclusions
The terms and limitations of any terrorism exclusion,
the inapplicability or omission of a terrorism
exclusion, or the inclusion of terrorism coverage, do
not serve to create coverage for any loss which
would otherwise be excluded under this Coverage
Form, Coverage Part or Policy.
F. All other terms and conditions remain the same.

BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
Various provisions in this policy restrict coverage. Read the entire policy carefully to determine rights, duties and what is and is not covered.
Throughout this policy the words "you" and "your" refer to the Named Insured shown in the Declarations. The words "we", "us" and "our" refer to the stock insurance company member of The Hartford providing this insurance.
The word "insured" means any person or organization qualifying as such under Section C. - Who Is An Insured.
Other words and phrases that appear in quotation marks have special meaning. Refer to Section G. - Liability And Medical Expenses Definitions.
A. COVERAGES
1. BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE (BODILY
INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
AND ADVERTISING INJURY)
Insuring Agreement
a. We will pay those sums that the insured
becomes legally obligated to pay as
damages because of "bodily injury",
"property damage" or "personal and
advertising injury" to which this insurance
applies. We will have the right and duty to
defend the insured against any "suit"
seeking those damages. However, we will
have no duty to defend the insured against
any "suit" seeking damages for "bodily
injury", "property damage" or "personal and
advertising injury" to which this insurance
does not apply.
We may, at our discretion, investigate any
"occurrence" or offense and settle any claim
or "suit" that may result. But:
(1) The amount we will pay for damages is
limited as described in Section D. -
Liability And Medical Expenses Limits
Of Insurance; and
(2) Our right and duty to defend ends when
we have used up the applicable limit of
insurance in the payment of judgments,
settlements or medical expenses to which
this insurance applies.
No other obligation or liability to pay sums or
perform acts or services is covered unless
explicitly provided for under Coverage
Extension - Supplementary Payments.
b. This insurance applies:
(1) To "bodily injury" and "property
damage" only if:
(a) The "bodily injury" or "property
damage" is caused by an
"occurrence" that takes place in the
"coverage territory";
(b) The "bodily injury" or "property
damage" occurs during the policy
period; and
(c) Prior to the policy period, no insured
listed under Paragraph 1. of Section
C. – Who Is An Insured and no
"employee" authorized by you to give
or receive notice of an "occurrence"
or claim, knew that the "bodily injury"
or "property damage" had occurred,
in whole or in part. If such a listed
insured or authorized "employee"
knew, prior to the policy period, that
the "bodily injury" or "property
damage" occurred, then any
continuation, change or resumption
of such "bodily injury" or "property
damage" during or after the policy
period will be deemed to have been
known prior to the policy period.
(2) To "personal and advertising injury"
caused by an offense arising out of your

respect to the conduct of any current or past
partnership, joint venture or limited liability
company that is not shown as a Named Insured in

D. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES
LIMITS OF INSURANCE
1. The Most We Will Pay
The Limits of Insurance shown in the

we will pay regardless of the number of:
a. Insureds;

c. Persons or organizations making claims or
bringing "suits".
2. Aggregate Limits
The most we will pay for:

the Products-Completed Operations
Aggregate Limit shown in the
Declarations.
b. Damages because of all other "bodily
injury", "property damage" or "personal
and advertising injury", including medical
expenses, is the General Aggregate Limit
shown in the Declarations.
This General Aggregate Limit applies
separately to each of your "locations"
owned by or rented to you.
"Location" means premises involving the
same or connecting lots, or premises
whose connection is interrupted only by a
street, roadway or right-of-way of a
railroad.
This General Aggregate limit does not
apply to "property damage" to premises
while rented to you or temporarily
occupied by you with permission of the
owner, arising out of fire, lightning or
explosion.
3. Each Occurrence Limit
Subject to 2.a. or 2.b above, whichever
applies, the most we will pay for the sum of all
damages because of all "bodily injury",
"property damage" and medical expenses
arising out of any one "occurrence" is the
Liability and Medical Expenses Limit shown in

The most we will pay for all medical expenses
because of "bodily injury" sustained by any
one person is the Medical Expenses Limit
shown in the Declarations.
4. Personal And Advertising Injury Limit

the sum of all damages because of all
"personal and advertising injury" sustained by
any one person or organization is the Personal

rented to you, or in the case of damage by fire,
lightning or explosion, while rented to you or
temporarily occupied by you with permission of
the owner.
In the case of damage by fire, lightning or
explosion, the Damage to Premises Rented To
You Limit applies to all damage proximately
caused by the same event, whether such
damage results from fire, lightning or explosion
or any combination of these.
6. How Limits Apply To Additional Insureds

under this Coverage Part is the lesser of:
a. The limits of insurance specified in a
written contract, written agreement or
permit issued by a state or political
subdivision; or

Such amount shall be a part of and not in

BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
Form SS 00 08 04 05 Page 15 of 24
If more than one limit of insurance under this
policy and any endorsements attached thereto
applies to any claim or "suit", the most we will pay
under this policy and the endorsements is the
single highest limit of liability of all coverages
applicable to such claim or "suit". However, this
paragraph does not apply to the Medical Expenses
limit set forth in Paragraph 3. above.
The Limits of Insurance of this Coverage Part apply
separately to each consecutive annual period and to
any remaining period of less than 12 months, starting
with the beginning of the policy period shown in the
Declarations, unless the policy period is extended
after issuance for an additional period of less than 12 months. In that case, the additional period will be
deemed part of the last preceding period for purposes
of determining the Limits of Insurance.
E. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES

or damage to which this insurance
may also apply.
d. Obligations At The Insured's Own Cost
No insured will, except at that insured's own
cost, voluntarily make a payment, assume
any obligation, or incur any expense, other
than for first aid, without our consent.
e. Additional Insured's Other Insurance
If we cover a claim or "suit" under this
Coverage Part that may also be covered
by other insurance available to an
additional insured, such additional insured
must submit such claim or "suit" to the
other insurer for defense and indemnity.
However, this provision does not apply to
the extent that you have agreed in a
written contract, written agreement or
permit that this insurance is primary and
non-contributory with the additional
insured's own insurance.

A person or organization may sue us to recover
on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment
against an insured; but we will not be liable for
damages that are not payable under the terms of
this insurance or that are in excess of the
applicable limit of insurance. An agreed
settlement means a settlement and release of
liability signed by us, the insured and the
claimant or the claimant's legal representative.
5. Separation Of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance,
and any rights or duties specifically assigned
in this policy to the first Named Insured, this

a. As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and

upon your representations.
b. Unintentional Failure To Disclose
Hazards
If unintentionally you should fail to disclose
all hazards relating to the conduct of your
business at the inception date of this
Coverage Part, we shall not deny any
coverage under this Coverage Part
because of such failure.
7. Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is
available for a loss we cover under this
Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as
follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when b.
below applies. If other insurance is also
primary, we will share with all that other
insurance by the method described in c.
below.
b. Excess Insurance
This insurance is excess over any of the
other insurance, whether primary, excess,
contingent or on any other basis:
(1) Your Work
That is Fire, Extended Coverage,
Builder's Risk, Installation Risk or
similar coverage for "your work";
(2) Premises Rented To You
That is fire, lightning or explosion
insurance for premises rented to you
or temporarily occupied by you with
permission of the owner;
(3) Tenant Liability
That is insurance purchased by you to
cover your liability as a tenant for
"property damage" to premises rented
to you or temporarily occupied by you
with permission of the owner;
(4) Aircraft, Auto Or Watercraft

or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to

subject to Exclusion k. of Section A. –
Coverages.
193 of 629
BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
Form SS 00 08 04 05 Page 17 of 24
(6) When You Are Added As An
Additional Insured To Other
Insurance
That is other insurance available to
you covering liability for damages
arising out of the premises or
operations, or products and completed
operations, for which you have been
added as an additional insured by that
insurance; or
(7) When You Add Others As An
Additional Insured To This
Insurance
That is other insurance available to an
additional insured.
However, the following provisions
apply to other insurance available to
any person or organization who is an
additional insured under this Coverage
Part:
(a) Primary Insurance When
Required By Contract
This insurance is primary if you
have agreed in a written contract,
written agreement or permit that
this insurance be primary. If other
insurance is also primary, we will
share with all that other insurance
by the method described in c.
below.
(b) Primary And Non-Contributory
To Other Insurance When
Required By Contract
If you have agreed in a written
contract, written agreement or
permit that this insurance is
primary and non-contributory with
the additional insured's own
insurance, this insurance is
primary and we will not seek
contribution from that other
insurance.
Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to
other insurance to which the additional
insured has been added as an
additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will
have no duty under this Coverage Part to
defend the insured against any "suit" if any
other insurer has a duty to defend the
insured against that "suit". If no other
insurer defends, we will undertake to do
so, but we will be entitled to the insured's
rights against all those other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of
the amount of the loss, if any, that
exceeds the sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self-
insured amounts under all that other
insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any, with
any other insurance that is not described in
this Excess Insurance provision and was not
bought specifically to apply in excess of the
Limits of Insurance shown in the
Declarations of this Coverage Part.
c. Method Of Sharing
If all the other insurance permits
contribution by equal shares, we will follow
this method also. Under this approach,
each insurer contributes equal amounts
until it has paid its applicable limit of
insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will
contribute by limits. Under this method, each
insurer’s share is based on the ratio of its
applicable limit of insurance to the total
applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.
8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against
Others To Us
a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery
If the insured has rights to recover all or
part of any payment, including
Supplementary Payments, we have made
under this Coverage Part, those rights are
transferred to us. The insured must do
nothing after loss to impair them. At our
request, the insured will bring "suit" or
transfer those rights to us and help us
enforce them. This condition does not
apply to Medical Expenses Coverage.
b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver
Of Subrogation)
If the insured has waived any rights of
recovery against any person or
organization for all or part of any payment,
including Supplementary Payments, we
have made under this Coverage Part, we
also waive that right, provided the insured
waived their rights of recovery against
such person or organization in a contract,
agreement or permit that was executed
prior to the injury or damage.

acts or omissions, or of any violations
of state laws or regulations establishing
safety standards, by you or your

of Insurance that the:
(a) Loss of, or changes in, our
reinsurance covering all or part of
the risk would threaten our
financial integrity or solvency; or

coverage would:
i. Place us in violation of
California law or the laws of
the state where we are
domiciled; or
ii. Threaten our solvency.

b. We will mail or deliver advance written
notice of cancellation, stating the reason
for cancellation, to the first Named Insured,
at the mailing address shown in the policy,
and to the producer of record, at least:
(1) 10 days before the effective date of
cancellation if we cancel for
nonpayment of premium or discovery
of fraud, or
(2) 30 days before the effective date of
cancellation if we cancel for any other
reason listed in paragraph 3.a.
B. The following provision is added to the
Cancellation Common Policy Condition:
7. Residential Property
This provision applies to coverage on real
property which is used predominantly for
residential purposes and consisting of not
more than four dwelling units, and to
coverage on tenants' household personal
property in a residential unit, if such
coverage is written under this policy:
a. If such coverage has been in effect for
60 days or less, and is not a renewal of
coverage we previously issued, we
may cancel this coverage for any
reason, except as provided in b. and c.
below.
b. We may not cancel solely because the
first Named Insured has:
(1) Accepted an offer of earthquake
coverage; or
(2) Cancelled or did not renew a policy
issued by the California
Earthquake Authority (CEA) that
included and earthquake policy
premium surcharge.
However, we shall cancel this policy if
the first Named Insured has accepted a
new or renewal policy issued by the
CEA that includes an earthquake policy
premium surcharge but fails to pay the
earthquake policy premium surcharge
authorized by the CEA.
c. We may not cancel such coverage
solely because corrosive soil
conditions exist on the premises. This
restriction (c.) applies only if coverage
under the Special Property Coverage
Form, which excludes loss or damage
caused by or resulting from corrosive
soil conditions.
If a state of emergency under California
Law is declared and the residential
property is located in any ZIP Code within
or adjacent to the fire perimeter, as
determined by California Law, we may not
cancel this policy for one year, beginning
from the date the state of emergency is
declared, solely because the dwelling or other
structure is located in an area in which a wild
fire has occurred.
However, we may cancel:
a. When you have not paid the
premium, at any time by letting
you know at least 10 days before
the date cancellation takes effect;
b. If willful or grossly negligent acts
or omissions by the named
insured, or his or her
representatives, are discovered
that materially increase any of the
risks insured against; or
c. If there are physical changes in
the property insured against,
beyond the catastrophe- damaged
condition of the structures and
surface landscape, which result in
the property becoming uninsur-
able.
C. The following is added and supersedes any
provisions to the contrary:
NONRENEWAL
1. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs C.2.
and C.3. below, if we elect not to renew this
policy, we will mail or deliver written notice
stating the reason for nonrenewal to the first
Named Insured shown in the Declarations and
to the producer of record, at least 60 days but
not more than 120 days, before the expiration
or anniversary date.
We will mail or deliver our notice to the first
Named Insured, and to the producer of record,
at the mailing address shown in the policy.
2. Residential Property
This provision applies to coverage on real
property used predominantly for residential
purposes and consisting of not more than four
dwelling units, and to coverage on tenants'
household property contained in a residential
unit, if such coverage is written under this
policy.
a. We may elect not to renew such coverage
for any reason, except as provided in b., c.
and d. below:
b. We will not refuse to renew such coverage
solely because the first Named Insured
has accepted an offer of earthquake
coverage.
However, the following applies only to
insurers who are associated participating
insurers as established by Cal. Ins. Code
Section 10089.16. We may elect not to
renew such coverage after the first Named
Insured has accepted an offer of
earthquake coverage, if one or more of the
following reasons applies:
206 of 629
(1) The nonrenewal is based on sound
underwriting principles that relate to
the coverages provided by this policy
and that are consistent with the
approved rating plan and related
documents filed with the Department
of Insurance as required by existing
law;
(2) The Commissioner of Insurance finds
that the exposure to potential losses
will threaten our solvency or place us
in a hazardous condition. A
hazardous condition in which we
make claims payments for losses
resulting from an earthquake that
occurred within the preceding two
years and that required a reduction in
policyholder surplus of at least 25%
for payment of those claims; or
(3) We have:
(a) Lost or experienced a substantial
reduction in the availability or
scope of reinsurance coverage; or
(b) Experienced a substantial
increase in the premium charged
for reinsurance coverage of our
residential property insurance
policies; and
the Commissioner has approved
a plan for the nonrenewals that is
fair and equitable, and that is
responsive to the changes in our
reinsurance position.
c. We will not refuse to renew such coverage
solely because the first Named Insured has
cancelled or did not renew a policy, issued by
the California Earthquake Authority that
included an earthquake policy premium
surcharge.
d. We will not refuse to renew such coverage
solely because corrosive soil conditions exist
on the premises. This restriction (d) applies
only if coverage is subject to the Special
Property Coverage Form, which excludes loss
or damage caused by or resulting from
corrosive soil conditions.
If a state of emergency under California Law
is declared and the residential property is
located in any ZIP Code within or adjacent to
the fire perimeter, as determined by California
Law, we may not nonrenew this policy for one
year, beginning from the date the state of
emergency is declared, solely because
the dwelling or other structure is located
in an area in which a wildfire has
occurred.
However, we may nonrenew:
(1) If willful or grossly negligent acts or
omissions by the named insured, or
his or her representatives, are
discovered that materially increase
any of the risk insured against.
(2) If losses unrelated to the post disaster
loss condition of the property have
occurred that would collectively
render the risk ineligible for renewal;
or
(3) If there are physical changes in the
property insured against, beyond the
catastrophe-damaged condition of the
structures and surface landscape,
which result in the property becoming
uninsurable.
3. We are not required to send notice of
nonrenewal in the following situations:
a. If the transfer or renewal of a policy,
without any changes in terms, conditions,
or rates, is between us and a member of
our insurance group.
b. If the policy has been extended for 90
days or less, provided that notice has
been given in accordance with paragraph
C.1.
c. If you have obtained replacement
coverage, or if the first Named Insured
has agreed, in writing, within 60 days of
the termination of the policy, to obtain
that coverage.
d. If the policy is for a period of no more
than 60 days and you are notified at the
time of issuance that it will not be
renewed.
e. If the first Named Insured requests a
change in the terms or conditions or risks
covered by the policy within 60 days of
the end of the policy period.
f. If we have made a written offer to the first
Named Insured, in accordance with the
time frames shown in paragraph C.1., to
renew the policy under changed terms or
conditions or at an increased premium
rate, when the increase exceeds 25%.
If there is an appraisal, we will still retain our
right to deny the claim.

207 of 629
D. The Concealment, Misrepresentation Or Fraud
Condition is replaced by the following with respect
to loss of damage caused by fire:
We do not provide coverage to the insured who,
whether before or after a loss, has committed
fraud or intentionally concealed or misrepresented
any material fact or circumstance concerning:
1. This Coverage Part;
2. The Covered Property;
3. That insured's interest in the Covered
Property; or
4. A claim under this Coverage Part or Coverage
Form.
E. The Concealment, Misrepresentation Or Fraud
Condition is replaced by the following with respect
to loss of damage caused by a Covered Cause of
Loss other than fire:
This Coverage Part is void if any insured, whether
before or after a loss, has committed fraud or
intentionally concealed or misrepresented any
material fact or circumstance concerning:
1. This Coverage Part;
2. The Covered Property;
3. That insured's interest in the Covered
Property; or
4. A claim under this Coverage Part or Coverage
Form.
F. The Other Insurance - Property Coverage
Condition is replaced by the following:
If there is other insurance covering the same loss
or damage, we will pay our share of the covered
loss or damage. Our share is the proportion that
the applicable limit of insurance bears to the limits
of insurance of all insurance covering on same
basis.
G. Paragraph E.2., Appraisal of the Standard and
Special Property Form is deleted and replaced
by the following:
2. If we and you disagree on the value of the
property or the amount of loss, either may
make written request for an appraisal of the
loss. If the request is accepted, each party will
select a competent and impartial appraiser.
Each party shall notify the other of the
appraiser selected within 20 days of the
request. The two appraisers will select an
umpire. If they cannot agree within 15 days,
either may request that selection be made by
a judge of a court having jurisdiction. The
appraisers will state separately the value of
the property and amount of loss. If they fail to
agree, they will submit their differences to the
umpire. A decision agreed to by any two will
be binding. Each party will:
a. Pay its chosen appraiser; and
b. Bear the other expenses of the appraisal
and umpire equally.
If there is an appraisal, we will still retain our right to deny the claim.
H. With respect to an "Open Policy", the Loss
Payment Condition of the Standard and Special
Property Form is amended by the following:
1. The following changes are made to Section E.
PROPERTY LOSS CONDITIONS:
a. Paragraph 5.d.(1)(b) of the Loss Payment
condition is deleted and replaced by:
(b) We will not pay on a replacement
cost basis for any loss or
damage until the lost or damaged
property is actually repaired or
replaced, and then only subject to
deduction for depreciation. Prior
to such repair or replacement,
and in accordance with the terms
applicable in this Paragraph 5.,
Loss Payment, we will pay the
actual cash value of the lost or
damaged property as described in
Paragraph 2. below. If the actual
cash value does not exhaust the
applicable Limit of Insurance, we
will then pay the difference
between the actual cash value
and the replacement cost,
provided that the repair or
replacement is completed:
(i) Within 12 months after our
payment of the actual cash
value; or
(ii) Within 36 months after our
payment of the actual cash
value if the loss or damage
relates to a state of
emergency under California
Law.
The following provision applies to
real property which is used
predominantly for residential
purposes and consisting of not
more than four dwelling units, and
to coverage on tenants'
household personal property in a
residential unit.
If you, acting in good faith and
with reasonable diligence,
encounter a delay or delays in
approval for, or reconstruction of,
the residence that are beyond
your control, we shall provide one
or more additional extensions of
six months for good cause.
Circumstances beyond your
control include, but are not limited
to:
(i) Unavoidable construction
permit delays;
(ii) The lack of necessary
construction materials; or
208 of 629
(iii) The unavailability of contractors
to perform the necessary work.
The foregoing provisions do not
constitute a waiver of our right to deny
the claim for any valid reason or to
restrict payment in cases of suspected
fraud.
2. The following provision is added:
Provision Applicable to California
Actual cash value is determined as follows:
a. In the event of a partial or total loss to a
building or structure, actual cash value is
calculated as shown below, whichever is
less:
(1) The amount it would cost to repair,
rebuild or replace the property less a
fair and reasonable deduction for
physical depreciation of the
components of the building or
structure that are normally subject to
repair or replacement during its useful
life. Physical depreciation is based
upon the condition of the property at
the time of the loss; or
(2) The limit of Insurance applicable to
the property.
b. In the event of a partial or total loss to
Covered Property other than a building or
structure, actual cash value is calculated
as the lesser of the following:
(1) The amount it would cost to repair or
replace the property less a fair and
reasonable deduction for physical
depreciation, based on the condition
of the property at the time of loss; or
(2) The Limit of Insurance applicable to
the property.
I. With respect to this endorsement, the following
definition is added to Section G. PROPERTY
DEFINITIONS:
"Open Policy" means a policy under which the
value of Covered Property is not fixed at
policy inception, but is determined at the time
of loss in accordance with policy provisions
on valuation. The term "open policy" does
not apply to Covered Property that is subject
to an Agreed Value clause or similar clause
that establishes an agreed value prior to loss,
unless such clause has expired.

CAP ON LOSSES FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
OWNERS AND CONTRACTORS PROTECTIVE LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
SPECIAL PROPERTY COVERAGE FORM
STANDARD PROPERTY COVERAGE FORM
UMBRELLA LIABILTY PROVISIONS
A. Disclosure Of Federal Share Of Terrorism Losses
The United States Department of the Treasury will
reimburse insurers for a portion of such insured
losses, as indicated in the table below that exceeds
the applicable insurer deductible:
Calendar Year Federal Share of
Terrorism Losses
2015 85%
2016 84%
2017 83%
2018 82%
2019 81%
2020 or later 80%
However, if aggregate industry insured losses,
attributable to "certified acts of terrorism" under the federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended
(TRIA), 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. The United States government has not
charged any premium for their participation in
covering terrorism losses.
B. Cap On Insurer Liability for Terrorism Losses
A "certified act of terrorism" means an act that is
certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
accordance with the provisions of federal Terrorism
Risk Insurance Act, to be an act of terrorism under
TRIA. The criteria contained in TRIA for a "certified
act of terrorism" include the following:
1. The act results in insured losses in excess of $5
million in the aggregate, attributable to all types
of insurance subject to TRIA; and
2. The act results in damage within the United
States, or outside the United States in the case
of certain air carriers or vessels or the premises
of an United States mission; and
3. The act is a violent act or an act that is
dangerous to human life, property or
infrastructure and is committed by an individual or
individuals acting 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.
If aggregate industry insured losses attributable to
"certified acts of terrorism" under TRIA exceed $100
billion in a calendar year, and we have met, or will
meet, our insurer deductible under TRIA, we shall
not be liable for the payment of any portion of the
amount of such losses that exceed $100 billion. In
such case, your coverage for terrorism losses may
be reduced on a pro-rata basis in accordance with
procedures established by the Treasury, based on
its estimates of aggregate industry losses and our
estimate that we will exceed our insurer deductible.
In accordance with the Treasury's procedures,
amounts paid for losses may be subject to further
adjustments based on differences between actual
losses and estimates.
C. Application Of Exclusions
The terms and limitations of any terrorism exclusion,
the inapplicability or omission of a terrorism
exclusion, or the inclusion of terrorism coverage, do
not serve to create coverage for any loss which
would otherwise be excluded under this Coverage
Form or Policy, such as losses excluded by the
Pollution Exclusion, Nuclear Hazard Exclusion and
the War And Military Action Exclusion.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY, OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL ("OFAC") ADVISORY NOTICE TO POLICYHOLDERS
No coverage is provided by this Policyholder Notice nor can it be construed to replace any provisions of your policy. You should read your policy and review your Declarations page for complete information on the coverages you are provided.
This Notice provides information concerning possible impact on your insurance coverage due to directives issued by the United States. Please read this Notice carefully.
The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the U.S. Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States. OFAC acts under Presidential national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and freeze assets under U.S. jurisdiction. OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" or "SDNs". Their assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them. This list can be located on OFAC’s web site at – http//www.treas.gov/ofac.
In accordance with OFAC regulations, if it is determined that you or any other insured, or any person or entity claiming the benefits of this insurance has violated U.S. sanctions law or is an SDN, as identified by OFAC, the policy is a blocked contract and all dealings with it must involve OFAC. When an insurance policy is considered to be such a blocked or frozen contract, no payments nor premium refunds may be made without authorization from OFAC.

CircusVargas: Cleanup 8:RecyclingPlan
CircusVargas does not hireor contract with outside vendors or temporary workers. Allstaffing willbe with workers that travelwith the show. The staffistrainedon current proper sanitary and cleanup procedures.There isa staffof twenty-five people,and while some staffmembers are working throughout the day, allof them are presentfrom one hour before the firstshow of the day untilafterthe lastshow [asapplicable]isover and cleanup iscompleted.
Sincethe natureof a circuslimitsthe areasin which the publiccan access,the majorityof the cleanupwillbe ina limitedarea.Plus,therearea vew limitednumber offood itemssold.
Staff continuously cleans up the entrance area throughout the time the show is open to the public,so trash does not remain on the ground. Trash iscleaned up insidethe tent after each performance; and once each day, trash will be picked up in the parking area, which isexpected to be minimal, since most people consume items earlyinthe show and are unlikely to bringtrash back to theircars.
A trash dumpster willbe contracted for placement on the grounds. Several trash cans are availablefor publicuse inthe circusentrance area.We willalso have bins inwhich people can put recyclableitems.However, due to the nature of our operation,most people buy theirfood products and take them immediately intothe tent,where they sitdown, They normally lettheir trashfallthrough the bleachers,where we cleanitup aftereach show.
Since sodas and water are served in plasticbottlesand cans,our staffwillput those, along with appropriate paper products, into the recycle bins and transport them to an appropriaterecycling facilityor make arrangements with the dumpster company for their removal.
I hope that lhave providedyou with allthe informationneeded to approve thisplan.ifyou have any questions,pleasecallme at 702-513-9767 and iwillbe happy to assistyou.

CircusVargas SecurityPlan
Since CircusVargas isa familyshow and attractsprimarilyfamilies,in-housesecurityhas been sufficientto provideappropriatecrowd control.As the onlythingto see isthe show itself,there are no people justloiteringinthe area.Crowds come at show time,enter the enclosed midway area and take theirseats.Afterthe show, there isnothingelseto see,so they exitto theircars.
Many of the thingsthatattractor encourage troubleor the necessityforpoliceinterventionwill not be presentatCircusVargas.Alcoholwillnot be soldor served,and thereareno games of chance or mechanical rides.While a carnivalattractsages 12 to 22, Circus Vargas primarily attracts children of elementary school ages or younger, along with their parents and grandparents.
Circus Vargas has its own security team comprising eight uniformed (unarmed) security Personnel(includesone head ofsecurity).The uniformsconsistof matching CircusVargas shirts and pants.This low-key approach to securitymaintains the atmosphere of familyfun.
Allsecuritypersonnelwillbe scheduledone hour beforeeach performanceand willstaythirty minutes afterthe performance. Securitypersonnel willbe stationed both insideand outside the tent as wellas next to the ticketbooth.
Securitypersonnelhave accessto walkie-talkiesfor communications between themselves,in additionto cellphones thatcan be used to calladditionalpersonnelas wellas localpoliceor firefightersifitbecomes necessary.
Inadditionto the securityofficers,a closed-circuitvideo securitysystem monitors the insideof the ticketbooth, where money ishandled, as well as the midway area and the area infrontof the ticketbooth,Thisvideosystem isattachedto a recordingdevicethatcan be used to keep a digitalrecord of events.

EXPLANATION
Mr. Miguel Mendoza and his neighbors have signed a petitionrequestingthatthe City establisha ResidentialParking Districton the south side of E. 27th Street and on both sides of “C" Avenue, south of 27th Street.Mr. Mendoza stated thatthere isa lack of on- streetparking availabledue to the apartments that are located on the north side of E. 27th Street since they have caused significantparking impacts. Mr. Mendoza also stated that the establishment of a ResidentialPermit Parking Districtis a potential solutionfor thisissue since itwould allow residentslivingin thisarea to park their vehicles infrontoftheirhouses.
Section 22507 of the CaliforniaVehicle Code allows jurisdictionsto create preferential parking permit programs through ordinance or resolutionbased on provisionsthat are reasonable and necessary to ensure the effectivenessofthe program. The ordinance or resolutionmay includea designationof certainstreetsupon which preferentialparking privilegesare given to residentsand merchants adjacent to the streetsfortheiruse and the use of theirguests. under which the residentsand merchants may be issued a permit or permits thatexempt them from the prohibitionor restrictionof the ordinance or resolution.
In addition to the provisions of Section 22507 of the CaliforniaVehicle Code, City Council Policy No. 710 “ResidentialPermit Parking Program" provides guidelines for establishingand regulatingresidentialpermit parking programs / districtsin National City.In determining whether a residentialarea identifiedas eligibleforresidentialpermit parking may be designated as a ResidentialPermit Parking District,City Council shall take intoaccount factorswhich includebut are not limitedto the following:
1) The extentof the desireand need forthe residentsto have residentialpermit parking;
2) The extent to which legal on-street parking spaces are occupied by motor vehiclesduring the period proposed forparking restriction; 3) The extent to which vehicles parking in the area during the period proposed for parking restrictionare commuter vehicles ratherthan residentvehicles; 4) The extent to which motor vehicles registered to persons residing within the proposed Residential Permit Parking District boundaries cannot be accommodated by the number of availableoff—streetparking spaces.
Currently,there are eleven active Residential Permit Parking Districtsin National City establishedthrough City Council Resolution:“A",‘",C“",D“E”,“",F“‘G, “",H“"I,“’J,“L" and “".M Parking District"K” was approved by CityCouncil,but willnot be posted until the redevelopment project on the northeast corner of National City Blvd and E. 16th Streetiscompleted. See attached map.

1) The ResidentialParking Permit Districtshallconsistof at leastone side of a streetsection between two consecutive streets.This conditionismet. 2) A petitionshall be signed by 60 percent of the property owners within the proposed boundaries of the ResidentialParking Permit District.This conditionis met.
3) At least 70 percent of available curbside parking spaces are occupied by commuter vehicles(vehiclesregisteredto owners livingoutsideof the proposed parkingdistrictboundaries)duringthe time the parkingstudy isbeing conducted.
Thisconditionismet (see explanationbelow).
This item was presented to the TrafficSafety Committee (TSC) on October 13, 2021.
Mr. iVligueIMendoza and other residents livingin thisarea were in attendance at the meeting. Allof the residentsexpressed concerns about parking issues and agreed that the establishment of a ResidentialPermit Parking Districtis a potentialsolutionto addressing the lack of availableparking.
Parking enforcement officersfrom the City’sNeighborhood Services Divisionperformed licenseplatesurveys of vehiclesparked in the proposed Parking Districtover a two— week period.
