POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE
                         NOTICE OF TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE
You are hereby notified that under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, you have a right to purchase insurance
coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism, as defined in Section 102(1) of the Act: The term “act of terrorism”
means any act that is 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.
If, as a part of your policy, you also elect to purchase this terrorism coverage from us, you will be charged an additional
premium of $270.00.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WHERE COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BY THIS POLICY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM
CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM, SUCH LOSSES MAY BE PARTIALLY REIMBURSED BY THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT UNDER A FORMULA ESTABLISHED BY FEDERAL LAW. 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 80%
BEGINNING ON JANUARY 1, 2020, OF COVERED TERRORISM LOSSES EXCEEDING THE STATUTORILY
ESTABLISHED DEDUCTIBLE PAID BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDING THE COVERAGE. THE PREMIUM
CHARGED FOR THIS COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BELOW AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CHARGES FOR THE
PORTION OF LOSS THAT MAY BE COVERED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER THE ACT.
YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT 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 IN ANY
ONE CALENDAR YEAR EXCEEDS $100 BILLION. IF THE AGGREGATE INSURED LOSSES FOR ALL INSURERS
EXCEED $100 BILLION, YOUR COVERAGE MAY BE REDUCED.

                                                 NOTICE TO BROKER
We are required by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended (the "Act"), to provide policyholders with clear and
conspicuous disclosures. This notice must be provided at the time of offer and renewal of the policy.
We have provided you with a notice that meets the Act's requirements. You are instructed to deliver a copy of this notice
to our prospective insured when you forward our quote.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS
It is important that we be advised of any changes that may have a bearing on the validity and/or adequacy of your
insurance. The types of changes that concern us include, but are not limited to, those listed below:
1. Circumstances which may require an adjustment to your policy limits as listed on the declaration page including.
     •   Increase in the total value of the collection from new acquisitions.
     •   Shipments of fine art that will require temporary increases in the limit for property in transit.
     •   The movement of fine art that will require a temporary increase in any other location coverage. For example,
         when an artwork is sent to a conservator for treatment..
2. Any changes in fire or theft protection, such as the installation of or disconnection of sprinkler systems, burglar
   alarms, etc. This includes any alterations to same.
3. Any new premises purchased, constructed, or occupied for more than 60 days (especially storage facilities).
4. Notify us of any change in ownership of the collection.

                                                 CLAIM INFORMATION
1.    It is important to keep an updated inventory with current values of your insured collection. After a loss occurs, it may
     be difficult to properly gather the information required to demonstrate the value, content and condition of the insured
     collection items.
2. Promptly notify Huntington T. Block Insurance of any occurrence that may potentially result in damage to your insured
   fine art property. Doing so will allow us to advise you of the next steps needed to protect your rights in the event a
   claim is reported.
3. The policy does contain timely reporting requirements in case of damage to covered property that may affect your
   ability to recover damages if not adhered to.
Timely, accurate communication, regarding the above important reminders, from you to your insurance broker is critical to
help insure that you benefit from the intended coverage provided by your fine art insurance policy.

COMPENSATION AND OTHER DISCLOSURE INFORMATION
Huntington T. Block Insurance Agency, Inc.(HTB) is an insurance producer licensed in your state. Insurance producers are
authorized by their license to confer with insurance purchasers about the benefits, terms and conditions of insurance
contracts; to offer advice concerning the substantive benefits of particular insurance contracts; to sell insurance; and to
obtain insurance for purchasers. The role of the producer in any particular transaction involves one or more of these
activities. Compensation will be paid to the producer, based on the insurance contract the producer sells. Depending on the
insurer(s) and insurance contract(s) the purchaser selects, compensation will be paid by the insurer(s) selling the insurance
contract or by another third party. Such compensation may vary depending on a number of factors, including the insurance
contract(s) and the insurer(s) the purchaser selects. In addition, HTB may charge a fee for administrative services. Your
signature on your application, quote form, check, and/or other authorization for payment of your premium, will be deemed to
signify your consent to and acceptance of the terms and conditions including the compensation, as disclosed above, that is
to be received by HTB. The insurance purchaser may obtain information about compensation expected to be received by
the producer based in whole or in part on the sale of insurance to the purchaser, and compensation expected to be received
based in whole or in part on any alternative quotes presented to the purchaser by the producer, by calling (800-424-8830)
and ask to speak to your account representative.
In addition, premiums paid by Clients to HTB for remittance to insurers, Client refunds and claim payments paid to HTB by
insurance companies for remittance to Clients are deposited into fiduciary accounts in accordance with applicable insurance
laws until they are due to be paid to the insurance company or Client. Subject to such laws and the applicable insurance
company’s consent, where required, HTB will retain the interest or investment income earned while such funds are on
deposit in such accounts.
In placing, renewing, consulting on or servicing your insurance coverages HTB and its affiliates may participate in contingent
commission arrangements with insurance companies that provide for additional contingent compensation, if, for example,
certain underwriting, profitability, volume or retention goals are achieved. Such goals are typically based on the total amount
of certain insurance coverages placed by HTB with the insurance company or the overall performance of the policies placed
with that insurance company, not on an individual policy basis. As a result, HTB may be considered to have an incentive to
place your insurance coverages with a particular insurance company. Where HTB participates in contingent commission
arrangements with insurance companies, HTB may be entitled to additional commission in the range of 0 to 31% depending
upon whether and when specified thresholds are achieved.
Our liability to you, in total, for the duration of our business relationship for any and all damages, costs, and expenses
(including but not limited to attorneys’ fees), whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, in
connection with or related to our services (including a failure to provide a service) that we provide in total shall be limited to
the lesser of $5,000,000 or the singular annual limit of the policy of insurance procured by us on your behalf from which your
damages arise.
This liability limitation applies to you, our client, and extends to our client’s parent(s), affiliates, subsidiaries, and their
respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each a “Client Group Member” of the “Client Group”) wherever located
that seek to assert claims against ARS, and its parent(s), affiliates, subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents (each an “Aon Group Member” of the “Aon Group”). Nothing in this liability limitation section implies
that any Aon Group Member owes or accepts any duty or responsibility to any Client Group Member.
If you or any of your Group Members asserts any claims or makes any demands against us or any Aon Group Member for a
total amount in excess of this liability limitation, then you agree to indemnify ARS for any and all liabilities, costs, damages
and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by ARS or any Aon Group Member that exceeds this liability limitation.
Aon Corporation, our ultimate parent company, and its affiliates have from time to time sponsored and invested in insurance
and reinsurance companies. While we generally undertake such activities with a view to creating an orderly flow of capacity
for our clients, we also seek an appropriate return on our investment. These investments, for which Aon is generally at-risk
for potential price loss, typically are small and range from fixed-income to common stock transactions. In such case, the
gains or losses we make through your investments could potentially be linked, in part, to the results of treaties or policies
transacted with you. Please visit the Aon website at http://www.aon.com/market_relationships for a current listing of
insurance and reinsurance carriers in which Aon Corporate and its affiliates hold any ownership interest.
