BP 01 55 02 20 Insurance Services Office, Inc., 201 Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />However, the following applies only <br />to insurers who are associate <br />participating insurers as established <br />by Cal. Ins. Code Section 1008 .16. <br />We may elect not to renew such <br />coverage after the first Named <br />Insured has accepted an offer of <br />earthquake coverage, if one or more <br />of the following reasons applies: <br />(1) The nonrenewal is based on <br />sound underwriting principles that <br />relate to the coverages provided <br />by this Policy and that are <br />consistent with the approved <br />rating plan and related <br />documents filed with the <br />Department of Insurance as <br />required by existing law; <br />(2) The Commissioner of Insurance <br />finds that the exposure to <br />potential losses will threaten our <br />solvency or place us in a <br />hazardous condition. A <br />hazardous condition includes, but <br />is not limited to, a condition in <br />which we make claims payments <br />for losses resulting from an <br />earthquake that occurred within <br />the preceding two years and that <br />required a reduction in <br />policyholder surplus of at least <br />25% for payment of those claims; <br />or <br />(3) We have: <br />(a) Lost or experienced a <br />substantial reduction in the <br />availability or scope of <br />reinsurance coverage; or <br />(b) Experienced a substantial <br />increase in the premium <br />charged for reinsurance <br />coverage of our residential <br />property insurance policies; <br />and <br />the Commissioner has approved <br />a plan for the nonrenewals that is <br />fair and equitable, and that is <br />responsive to the changes in our <br />reinsurance position. <br />b. The first Named Insured has <br />cancelled or did not renew a policy, <br />issued by the California Earthquake <br />Authority that included an <br />earthquake policy premium <br />surcharge. <br />c. Corrosive soil conditions exist on the <br />premises. <br />If a state of emergency under California <br />Law is declared and the residential <br />property is located in any ZIP Code <br />within or adjacent to the fire perimeter, <br />as determined by California Law, we <br />may not nonrenew this Policy for one <br />year, beginning from the date the state <br />of emergency is declared, solely <br />because the dwelling or other structure <br />is located in an area in which a wildfire <br />has occurred. <br />However, we may nonrenew: <br />a. If willful or grossly negligent acts or <br />omissions by the named insured, or <br />his or her representatives, are <br />discovered that materially increase <br />any of the risks insured against; <br />b. If losses unrelated to the <br />postdisaster loss condition of the <br />property have occurred that would <br />collectively render the risk ineligible <br />for renewal; or <br />c. If there are physical changes in the <br />property insured against, beyond the <br />catastrophe-damaged condition of <br />the structures and surface <br />landscape, which result in the <br />property becoming uninsurable. <br />3. We are not required to send notice of <br />nonrenewal in the following situations: <br />a. If the transfer or renewal of a policy, <br />without any changes in terms, <br />conditions or rates, is between us <br />and a member of our insurance <br />group. <br />b. If the Policy has been extended for <br /> 0 days or less, provided that notice <br />has been given in accordance with <br />Paragraph 1. <br />c. If you have obtained replacement <br />coverage, or if the first Named <br />Insured has agreed, in writing, within <br />60 days of the termination of the <br />Policy, to obtain that coverage. <br />d. If the Policy is for a period of no <br />more than 60 days and you are <br />notified at the time of issuance that it <br />will not be renewed. <br />e. If the first Named Insured requests a <br />change in the terms or conditions or <br />risks covered by the Policy within 60 <br />days of the end of the policy period. <br />EXHIBIT B <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 719DA141-AC44-83B6-8162-C79EED148CD3
