INSURED

1.
|
Part (a) of the section entitled
"Termination or Cancelation" of this bond/policy is
deleted and cancelation of this bond/policy by the Underwriter/Company is
subject to the following
provisions:.
|
|
a.
|
If this bond/policy has been in
effect for 60 days or less, the underwriter/company may cancel this
bond/policy by
mailing or delivering to the first named Insured written notice of
cancelation at least:
|
|
(1)
|
20 days before the effective date
of cancelation if the underwriter/company cancels for any reason not
included in paragraph (2)
below.
|
|
(2)
|
15 days before the effective date of cancelation
if the underwriter/company cancels for any of the following
reasons:
|
|
(i)
|
Nonpayment of premium provided,
however, that a notice of cancelation for this reason shall inform the
Insured of the amount due;
|
|
(ii)
|
Conviction of a crime arising out of acts
increasing the hazard insured
against;
|
|
(iii)
|
Discovery of fraud or material
misrepresentation in the obtaining of the bond/policy or in the
presentation of a claim;
|
|
(iv)
|
After issuance of the bond/policy
or after the last renewal date, discovery of an act or
omission, or a violation of a bond/policy condition, that substantially
and materially increases the hazard insured against, and that occurred
subsequent to inception of the current bond/policy
period;
|
|
(v)
|
Material physical change in the property insured,
occurring after issuance or last annual renewal anniversary date of the
bond/policy, that results in the property becoming uninsurable in
accordance with our objective, uniformly applied underwriting standards in
effect at the time the bond/policy was issued
or last renewed; or material change in the nature or extent of the risk,
occurring after issuance or last annual renewal anniversary date of the
bond/policy, that causes the risk of loss to be substantially and
materially increased beyond that
contemplated at the time the bond/policy was issued or last
renewed;
|
|
(vi)
|
Required pursuant to a
determination by the Superintendent that continuation of our present
premium volume would jeopardize our solvency or be hazardous to
the interest of our
policyholders, our creditors or the
public;
|
|
(vii)
|
A determination by the
Superintendent that the continuation of the bond/policy would violate or
would place us in violation of, any provision of the Insurance Code;
or
|
|
(viii)
|
Where the underwriter/company has reason to
believe, in good faith and with sufficient cause, that there is a probable
risk of danger that an insured will destroy, or permit to be destroyed,
the insured property for the purpose of collecting the insurance proceeds.
If the underwriter/company cancels for
this reason, the first named Insured may make a written request to the
Insurance Department, within 10 days of receipt of this notice, to review
the cancelation decision. Also, the underwriter/company will
simultaneously send a copy of the cancelation
notice to the Insurance
Department.
|
|
b.
|
If this bond/policy has been in
effect for more than 60 days, or if this bond/policy is a renewal or
continuation of a bond/policy the underwriter/company issued, the
underwriter/company
may cancel only for the reasons listed in paragraph 2. above, provided the
underwriter/company mails the first named insured written notice at least

is advanced under a premium finance agreement, the cancelation refund will
be pro rata. Under
such financed policies, the underwriter/company will be entitled to retain
a minimum earned premium of 10% of the total premium or $60, whichever is
greater. The cancelation will be effective even if the underwriter/company
has not made or offered a refund.
|
|
e.
|
If one of the reasons for
cancelation in paragraph a.(2) exists, the underwriter/company may cancel
this entire bond/policy, even if the reason for cancelation pertains only

original issuance of
this bond/policy.
|
2.
|
Renewal or nonrenewal of this
bond/policy by the Underwriter/Company is subject to the following
provisions:

not to renew this bond/policy, it will send notice as provided in
paragraph c.
below.
|
|
b.
|
If the underwriter/company
conditionally renews this bond/policy subject to a change of limits,
change in type of coverage, reduction of coverage, increased deductible,
addition of exclusion, or increased premiums in excess of 10%
(exclusive of any
premium increase due to insured value added, increased exposure units, or
as a result of experience rating, loss rating, retrospective rating or
audit) the underwriter/company will send notice as provided in paragraph
c. below.
|
|
c.
|
If the underwriter/company decides not to
renew this bond/policy, or to conditionally renew this bond/policy as
provided in paragraph 2.b. above, the underwriter/company will mail or
deliver written notice to the first named Insured shown in the
Declarations at least 60 days, but not more than 120

e.
|
Notice will include the specific
reason(s) for nonrenewal or conditional renewal, including the amount of
any premium increase for conditional renewal and a description of any
other changes.
|
|
f.
|
If the underwriter/company
violates the provisions of paragraph c. above by sending the first named
Insured an incomplete or late conditional renewal notice or a late
nonrenewal notice:
|
|
(1)
|
prior to the expiration date of the bond/policy,
coverage will remain in effect at the same terms and conditions of this
bond/policy at the lower of the current rates or the prior period's rates
until 60 days after such notice is mailed or delivered, unless the first
named Insured, during this 60 day
period, has replaced the coverage or elects to cancel; provided, however,
that if the insured elects to renew on the basis of a conditional renewal
notice and the notice was provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration date of this Policy, then
the terms, conditions and rates set forth in the conditional renewal
notice shall apply as of the renewal date;
or
|
|
(2)
|
on or after the expiration date of
this bond/policy, coverage will remain in effect at the same terms
and conditions of
this bond/policy for another required bond/policy period, at the lower of
the current rates or the prior period's rates, unless the first named
Insured, during this additional required bond/policy period, has replaced
the coverage or elects to
cancel.
|
|
g.
|
The underwriter/company need not
send notice of nonrenewal or conditional renewal if the first named
Insured, its authorized agent or broker or another insurer of the first
named Insured mails or delivers notice that the bond/policy has
been replaced or is
no longer desired.
