</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Most property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group (&#147;ICI Mutual&#148;),
are subject to the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;). The Act establishes a federal insurance backstop under which ICI Mutual and these other insurers may be partially reimbursed by the United
States Government for future <B>&#147;</B><B>insured losses</B><B>&#148;</B> resulting from certified <B>&#147;acts of terrorism.&#148;</B> (Each of these <B>bolded terms</B> is defined by the Act.) The Act also places certain disclosure and other
obligations on ICI Mutual and these other insurers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the Act, any future losses to ICI Mutual caused by certified <B>&#147;acts of
terrorism&#148;</B> may be partially reimbursed by the United Sates government under a formula established by the Act. Under this formula, the United States government would generally reimburse ICI Mutual for the Federal Share of Compensation of ICI
Mutual&#146;s <B>&#147;insured losses&#148;</B> in excess of ICI Mutual&#146;s <B>&#147;insurer deductible&#148;</B> until total <B>&#147;insured losses&#148;</B> of all participating insurers reach $100&nbsp;billion (the &#147;Cap on Annual
Liability&#148;). If total <B>&#147;insured losses&#148;</B> of all property and casualty insurers reach the Cap on Annual Liability in any one calendar year, the Act limits U.S. Government reimbursement and provides that the insurers will not be
liable under their policies for their portions of such losses that exceed such amount. Amounts otherwise payable under this Bond may be reduced as a result. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Bond has no express exclusion for <B>&#147;acts of terrorism.&#148;</B> However, coverage under this Bond remains subject to all applicable terms,
conditions, and limitations of the Bond (including exclusions) that are permissible under the Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The portion of the premium that is attributable to any
coverage potentially available under the Bond for <B>&#147;acts of terrorism&#148;</B> is one percent (1%) and does not include any charges for the portion of loss that may be covered by the U.S. Government under the Act </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As used herein, &#147;Federal Share of Compensation&#148; shall mean 80% beginning on January&nbsp;1, 2020. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as above stated, nothing herein shall be held to alter, waive or extend any of the terms of this Bond. </P>
