Important Disclosures
IMPORTANT: The proposal and/or any executive summaries outline certain terms and conditions of the insurance
proposed by the insurers, based on the information provided by your company. The insurance policies themselves must
be read to fully understand the terms, coverages, exclusions, limitations and/or conditions of the actual policy contract of
insurance. Policy forms will be made available upon request. We make no warranties with respect to policy limits or
coverage considerations of the carrier.
TRIA/TRIPRA Disclaimer — If this proposal contains options to purchase TRIA/TRIPRA coverage, the proposed
TRIA/TRIPRA program may not cover all terrorism losses. While the amendments to TRIA eliminated the distinction
between foreign and domestic acts of terrorism, a number of lines of coverage excluded under the amendments passed in
2005 remain excluded including commercial automobile, burglary and theft insurance; surety insurance, farm owners
multiple perils and professional liability (although directors and officers liability is specifically included). If such excluded
coverages are required, we recommend that you consider purchasing a separate terrorism policy. Please note that a
separate terrorism policy for these excluded coverages may be necessary to satisfy loan covenants or other contractual
obligations. TRIPRA includes a $100 billion cap on insurers' aggregate liability.
TRIPRA is set to expire on December 31, 2027. There is no certainty of extension, thus the coverage provided by your
insurers may or may not extend beyond December 31, 2027. In the event you have loan covenants or other contractual
obligations requiring that TRIA/TRIPRA be maintained throughout the duration of your policy period, we recommend that a
separate "Stand Alone" terrorism policy be purchased to satisfy those obligations.
Terms and Conditions
It is important that we clearly outline the nature of our mutual relationship. The following terms and conditions (these "Terms")
govern your relationship with Gallagher unless you have separately entered into a written services agreement with Gallagher
relative to the policies and services outlined in this Proposal, in which case that services agreement will govern and control
with respect to any conflicts with these Terms. These Terms will become effective upon your execution of the Client
Authorization to Bind Coverage (the "CAB") included in this Proposal and shall survive for the duration of your relationship
with Gallagher relative to the policies placed pursuant to the CAB or otherwise at your request.
Services
Gallagher will represent and assist you in all discussions and transactions with insurance companies relating to the lines of
insurance coverage set forth in the CAB and any other lines of insurance coverage with which you request Gallagher's
assistance. Gallagher will consult with you regarding any matters involving these or other coverages for which you have
engaged Gallagher. You have the sole discretion for approving any insurance policies placed, as well as all other material
decisions involving your risk management, risk transfer and/or loss prevention needs.
Although you are responsible for notifying applicable insurance companies directly in connection with any claims, demands,
suits, notices of potential claims or any other matters as required by the terms and conditions of your policies, Gallagher
will assist you in determining applicable claim reporting requirements.
Treatment of Information
Gallagher understands the need to protect the confidentiality and security of your confidential and sensitive information and
strives to comply with applicable data privacy and security laws. Your confidential and sensitive information will be protected
by Gallagher and only used to perform services for you; provided that Gallagher may disclose and transfer your information
to our affiliates, agents or vendors that have a need to know such information in connection with the provision of such
services (including insurance markets, as necessary, for marketing, quoting, placing and/or servicing insurance coverages).
Gallagher
Insurance I Risk Management I Consulting
We may also disclose such information as required by applicable data protection laws or the order of any court or tribunal,
subject to our providing you with prior notice as permitted by law.
We will (i) implement appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect personal information; (ii) timely
report security incidents involving personal information to affected parties and/or regulatory bodies; (iii) create and maintain
required policies and procedures; and (iv) comply with data subjects' rights, as applicable. To the extent applicable under
associated data protection laws, you are a "business" or "controller" and Gallagher is a "service provider" or "data processor."
You will ensure that any information provided to Gallagher has been provided with any required notices and that you have
obtained all required consents, if any and where required, or are otherwise authorized to transfer all information to Gallagher
and enable Gallagher to process the information for the purposes described in this Proposal and as set forth in Gallaher's
Privacy Policy located athftps://www.a'q.com/privacy-polic Gallagher may update its Privacy Policy from time to time and
any updates will be posted to such site.
Dispute Resolution
Gallagher does not expect that it will ever have a formal dispute with any of its clients. However, in the event that one
should arise, we should each strive to achieve a fair, expedient and efficient resolution and we'd like to clearly outline the
resolution process.
A. If the parties have a dispute regarding Gallagher's services or the relationship governed by this Proposal ("Dispute"),
each party agrees to resolve that Dispute by mediation. If mediation fails to resolve the Dispute, you and Gallagher
agree to binding arbitration. Each party waives all rights to commence litigation in court to resolve a Dispute, and
specifically waives all rights to pursue relief by class action or mass action in court or through arbitration. However, the
parties do not waive the ability to seek a court order of injunction in aid of the mediation and arbitration required by
these Terms.
B. The party asserting a Dispute must provide a written notice ("Notice") of the claim to the other party and to the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures. All
Dispute resolutions will take place in Chicago, IL, unless you and Gallagher agree to another location. The parties will
equally divide all costs of the mediation and arbitration proceedings and will each pay their own attorneys' fees. All
matters will be before a neutral, impartial and disinterested mediator or arbitrator(s) that have at least 20 years'
experience in commercial and insurance coverage disputes.
C. Mediation will occur within sixty (60) days of filing the Notice with the AAA. Mediation results will be reduced to a
memorandum of understanding signed by you, Gallagher and the mediator. A Dispute that is not resolved in mediation
will commence to binding arbitration. For Disputes in excess of $500,000, either party may elect to have the Dispute
heard by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. The award of the arbitrator(s) must be accompanied by a reasoned opinion
prepared and signed by the arbitrator(s). Except as may be required by law, neither you, Gallagher, nor a mediator or
arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any Dispute or its dispute resolution proceeding without the
prior written consent of both you and Gallagher.
Electronic Delivery
In lieu of receiving documents in paper format, you agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to accept electronic delivery
of any documents that Gallagher may be required to deliver to you (including, but not limited to, insurance policies and
endorsements, account statements and all other agreements, forms and communications) in connection with services
provided by Gallagher. Electronic delivery of a document to you may be made via electronic mail or by other electronic
means, including posting documents to a secure website.
Miscellaneous Terms
Gallagher is engaged to perform services as an independent contractor and not as your employee or agent, and Gallagher
will not be operating in a fiduciary capacity.
Gallagher
Insurance I Risk Management I Consulting
Where applicable, insurance coverage placements and other services may require the payment of federal excise taxes,
surplus lines taxes, stamping or other fees to the Internal Revenue Service, various State(s) departments of revenue, state
regulators, boards or associations. In such cases, you will be responsible for the payment of the taxes and/or fees, which
Gallagher will separately identify on related invoices.
The Proposal and these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
If an arbitrator/court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms is void or unenforceable, that
provision will be severed, and the arbitrator/court will replace it with a valid and enforceable provision that most closely
approximates the original intent, and the remainder of these Terms will remain in effect.
Except to the extent in conflict with a services agreement that you may enter into with Gallagher, these Terms and the
remainder of the Proposal constitute the entire agreement between you and Gallagher with respect to the subject matter of
the Proposal, and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings as to such matters.

Compensation Disclosure
1. Gallagher Companies are primarily compensated from the usual and customary commissions, fees or, where
permitted, a combination of both, for brokerage and servicing of insurance policies, annuity contracts, guarantee
contracts and surety bonds (collectively "insurance coverages") handled for a client's account, which may vary
based on market conditions and the insurance product placed for the client.
2. In placing, renewing, consulting on or servicing your insurance coverages, Gallagher companies may participate
in contingent and supplemental commission arrangements with intermediaries and insurance companies that
provide for additional compensation if certain underwriting, profitability, volume or retention goals are achieved.
Such goals are typically based on the total amount of certain insurance coverages placed by Gallagher with the
insurance company, not on an individual policy basis. As a result, Gallagher may be considered to have an
incentive to place your insurance coverages with a particular insurance company. If you do not wish to have your
commercial insurance placement included in consideration for additional compensation, contact your producer or
service team for an Opt -out form.
3. Gallagher Companies may receive investment income on fiduciary funds temporarily held by them, or from
obtaining or generating premium finance quotes, unless prohibited by law.
4. Gallagher Companies may also access or have an ownership interest in other facilities, including wholesalers,
reinsurance intermediaries, captive managers, underwriting managers and others that act as intermediaries for
both Gallagher and other brokers in the insurance marketplace some of which may earn and retain customary
brokerage commission and fees for their work.
If you have specific questions about any compensation received by Gallagher and its affiliates in relation to your insurance
placements, please contact your Gallagher representative for more details.

Coverage for acts of terrorism is included in your policy. You are hereby
notified that under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended in
2015, the definition of act of terrorism has changed. As defined in Section
102(1) of the Act: The term "act of terrorism" means any act or acts that
are certified by the Secretary of the Treasury —in consultation with the
Secretary of Homeland Security, 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 certain air carriers or vessels 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.
Under your coverage, any losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism
may be partially reimbursed by the United States Government under a
formula established by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended.
However, your policy may contain other exclusions which might affect
your coverage, such as an exclusion for nuclear events. Under the
formula, the United States Government generally reimburses 85%
through 2015; 84% beginning on January 1, 2016; 83% beginning on
January 1, 2017; 82% beginning on January 1, 2018; 81% beginning on
January 1, 2019 and 80% beginning on January 1, 2020, of covered
terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by
the insurance company providing the coverage.
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, contains a $100 billion
cap that limits U.S. Government reimbursement as well as insurers'
liability for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism when the
amount of such losses exceeds $100 billion in any one calendar year. If
the aggregate insured losses for all insurers exceed $100 billion, your
coverage may be reduced.
The portion of your annual premium that is attributable to coverage for
acts of terrorism is USD0.00 and does not include any charges for the
portion of losses covered by the United States government under the
Act.

In respect of INSURING CLAUSES 4, 5, 6 and 7, the maximum amount payable under this Policy in
total aggregate will be the policy limit.
In respect of INSURING CLAUSES 4, 5, 6 and 7, we may at any time pay to you in connection with
any claim the amount of the policy limit (after deduction of any amounts already paid). Upon

in addition to the policy limit plus the incident response limit, and if a damages payment in
excess of the policy limit plus the incident response limit has to be made to dispose of any claim,
our liability for costs and expenses will be in the same proportion as the policy limit plus the
incident response limit bears to the total amount of the damages payment.

1. What you must do if an incident takes place
If any senior executive officer becomes aware of any incident which may reasonably be
expected to give rise to a claim under this Policy, you must:
a. other than in accordance with CONDITION 2, notify the cyber incident manager as
soon as is reasonably practicable and follow their directions. However, this notification
must be made no later than the end of any applicable extended reporting period. A
telephone call to our cyber incident response line or confirmed notification via our
cyber incident response app will constitute notification to the cyber incident manager;
b. in respect of INSURING CLAUSE 2 (SECTIONS A, B and C only), report the incident to
the appropriate law enforcement authorities; and
c. in respect of INSURING CLAUSES 4, 5 and 6, not admit liability for or settle or make or
promise any payment or incur any costs and expenses without our prior written
agreement (which will not be unreasonably withheld).
Due to the nature of the coverage offered by this Policy, any unreasonable delay by you in
notifying the cyber incident manager could lead to the size of the claim increasing or to our
rights of recovery being restricted. We will not be liable for that portion of any claim that is
due to any unreasonable delay in you notifying the cyber incident manager of any incident in
accordance with this clause. However, if you are prevented from notifying us by a legal or
regulatory obligation then your rights under this Policy will not be affected.
If you discover a cyber event you may only incur costs without our prior written consent
within the first 72 hours following the discovery and any third party costs incurred must be
with a company forming part of the approved claims panel providers. All other costs may only
be incurred with the prior written consent of the cyber incident manager (which will not be
unreasonably withheld).
2. What you must do in the event of a circumstance which could give rise to a claim
In respect of INSURING CLAUSES 5 and 6, should a senior executive officer become aware of:
a. a situation during the period of the policy that could give rise to a claim; or
b. an allegation or complaint made or intimated against you during the period of the
policy;
then you have the option of whether to report this circumstance to us or not. However, if you
choose not to report this circumstance we will not be liable for that portion of any claim that
is greater than it would have been had you reported this circumstance.
6- cfc
If you choose to report this circumstance you must do so no later than the end of any
applicable extended reporting period for it to be considered under this Policy and we will
require you to provide full details of the circumstance, including but not limited to:
a. the time, place and nature of the circumstance;
b. the manner in which you first became aware of this circumstance;
c. the reasons why you believe that this circumstance could give rise to a claim;
d. the identity of the potential claimant; and
e. an indication as to the size of the claim that could result from this circumstance.
Any subsequent claim arising directly from this circumstance will be deemed to have been
made at the time this circumstance was notified to us and we will regard this claim as having
been notified under this Policy.
3. Additional insureds
We will indemnify any third party as an additional insured under this Policy, but only in
respect of sums which they become legally obliged to pay (including liability for claimants'
costs and expenses) as a result of a claim arising solely out of an act, error or omission
committed by you, provided that:
a. you contracted in writing to indemnify the third party for the claim prior to it first
being made against them; and
b. had the claim been made against you, then you would be entitled to indemnity under
this Policy.
Before we indemnify any additional insured they must:
a. prove to us that the claim arose solely out of an act, error or omission committed by
you; and
b. fully comply with CONDITION 1 as if they were you.
Where a third party is treated as an additional insured as a result of this Condition, any claim
made by that third party against you will be treated by us as if they were a third party and not
as an insured.
4. Agreement to pay claims (duty to defend)
We have the right and duty to take control of and conduct in your name the investigation,
settlement or defense of any claim. We will not have any duty to pay costs and expenses for
any part of a claim that is not covered by this Policy.
You may ask the cyber incident manager to consider appointing your own lawyer to defend
the claim on your behalf and the cyber incident manager may grant your request if they
consider your lawyer is suitably qualified by experience, taking into account the subject
matter of the claim, and the cost to provide a defense.
fcfc
We will endeavor to settle any claim through negotiation, mediation or some other form of
alternative dispute resolution and will pay on your behalf the amount we agree with the
claimant. If we cannot settle using these means, we will pay the amount which you are found
liable to pay either in court or through arbitration proceedings, subject to the policy limit and
incident response limit.
We will not settle any claim without your consent. If you refuse to provide your consent to a
settlement recommended by us and elect to continue legal proceedings in connection with
the claim, any further costs and expenses incurred will be paid by you and us on a
proportional basis, with 80% payable by us and 20% payable by you. As a consequence of your
refusal, our liability for the claim, excluding costs and expenses, will not be more than the
amount for which the claim could have been settled.
5. Cancellation
This Policy may be canceled with 30 days written notice by either you or us.
If you give us notice of cancellation, the return premium will be in proportion to the number
of days that the Policy is in effect. However, if you have made a claim under this Policy there
will be no return premium.
If we give you notice of cancellation, the return premium will be in proportion to the number

remains unpaid more than 60 days beyond the inception date. If we exercise this right of
cancellation it will take effect from 14 days after the date the written notice of cancellation is
issued.
The Policy Administration Fee will be deemed fully earned upon inception of the Policy.
6. Continuous cover
If you have neglected, through error or oversight only, to report an incident discovered by you
that might give rise to a claim under this Policy during the period of a previous renewal of this
Policy issued to you by us, then provided that you have maintained uninterrupted insurance
of the same type with us since the expiry of that earlier Policy, then, notwithstanding
EXCLUSION 10, we will permit the matter to be reported under this Policy and we will
indemnify you, provided that:
a. the indemnity will be subject to the applicable limit of liability of the earlier Policy
under which the matter should have been reported or the policy limit plus the
incident response limit, whichever is the lower;
b. we may reduce the indemnity entitlement by the monetary equivalent of any
prejudice which has been suffered as a result of the delayed notification; and

of this Policy, other than a) above.
7. Dispute resolution

will take place in the country of registration of the company named as the insured in the
Declarations page.
In respect of any arbitration proceeding we will follow the applicable rules of the arbitration
association in the country where the company stated as the insured in the Declarations page
is registered, the rules of which are deemed incorporated into this Policy by reference to this
Condition. Unless the applicable arbitration association rules state otherwise, a single
arbitrator will be appointed who will be mutually agreed between you and us. If you and we
cannot agree on a suitable appointment then we will refer the appointment to the applicable
arbitration association.
Each party will bear its own fees and costs in connection with any mediation or arbitration
proceeding but the fees and expenses of the arbitrator will be shared equally between you
and us unless the arbitration award provides otherwise.
Nothing in this Condition is intended to remove your rights under CONDITION 18. However, if
a determination is made in any mediation or arbitration proceeding, CONDITION 18 is
intended only as an aid to enforce this determination.

An extended reporting period of 60 days following the expiry date will be automatically
granted at no additional premium. This extended reporting period will cover, subject to all
other terms, conditions and exclusions of this Policy:

b. any cyber event, loss or system failure first discovered by you during the period of the
policy and reported to us during this extended reporting period; and

insurance if its limit of liability was not exhausted.
9. Optional extended reporting period
If we or you decline to renew or cancel this Policy then you will have the right to have issued
an endorsement providing an optional extended reporting period for the duration stated in
the Declarations page which will be effective from the cancellation or non -renewal date. This

optional extended reporting period will cover, subject to all other terms, conditions and

within 30 days of cancellation or non -renewal.
The right to the optional extended reporting period will not be available to you where

pay any amounts in excess of the applicable policy limit and incident response limit or within
the amount of the applicable deductible as is required by this Policy in the payment of claims.
At the renewal of this Policy, our quotation of different premium, deductible, limits of liability
or changes in policy language will not constitute non -renewal by us.

responsibility to pay that claim, we may recover from you any sums paid in respect of that
