property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk
Retention Group (&#8220;ICI Mutual&#8221;), are subject to the requirements of the Terrorism
Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the &#8220;Act&#8221;).&#160;&#160;The Act establishes a Federal
insurance backstop under which ICI Mutual and these other insurers will be
partially reimbursed for future <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">&#8220;insured losses&#8221;</font> resulting
from certified<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"> &#8220;acts of
terrorism.&#8221;</font>&#160;&#160;(Each of these <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">bolded terms </font>is defined by the
Act.)&#160;&#160;The Act also places certain disclosure and other obligations on
ICI Mutual and these other insurers.</font></div>

to the Act, any future losses to ICI Mutual caused by certified <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">&#8220;acts of terrorism&#8221;</font> will be

reimburse ICI Mutual for 90% of ICI Mutual&#8217;s <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">&#8220;insured losses&#8221;</font> in excess of
a statutorily established deductible until total insured losses of all
participating insurers reach $100 billion.&#160;&#160;If total &#8220;insured losses&#8221;
of all property and casualty insurers reach $100 billion during any applicable
period, the Act provides that the insurers will not be liable under their
policies for their portions of such losses that exceed such
amount.&#160;&#160;Amounts otherwise payable under this bond may be reduced as a
result.</font></div>
