9 NOTES How to Calculate your Sums Insured 1. Buildings Your Declared Value must represent the full rebuilding costs (not market value) applying at the commencement of the period without any deduction for wear and tear or any provision for inflation. Buildings include the following in addition to the building itself, to the extent to which you are responsible for them: foundations landlord's fixtures and fittings (including fixed glass and fitted carpets and tenants improvements for which the landlord is responsible in or around the Buildings) furnishings and other contents of common parts of the buildings (contents of furnished accommodation should be included under a separate item) walls, gates, fences and Services gangways, pedestrian malls and pedestrian access bridges telephone, electricity, gas and water services, drains and sewers land, roads, pavements, car parks and hardstanding Services include: telephone, gas, electricity, water mains, drains and sewers, electrical instruments, meters, piping, cabling and accessories thereon extending from the building to the perimeter of the premises or to the public mains (including those underground). The sum insured must also take into account: professional fees (such as architects and surveyors) incurred in rebuilding cost of removing debris from the site, including demolition, shoring and propping up any extra costs necessary to comply with EC and Public Authorities' Stipulations VAT does not need to be included 1A Inflation Provision Our cover is on the Day One Basis, which has become established as the most popular inflation scheme. Under this method the sum insured comprises two components: - the Declared Value as described above under Buildings the Inflation Provision being a percentage uplift selected to cover inflation during the insurance year and during the period of rebuilding assuming that a loss occurs on the last day of the period of insurance. This rebuilding period should allow for the time it would take to draw up plans, obtain permission to build, seek tenders and select a contractor. For larger properties particularly, a limit of 30% is often desirable although this will vary according to the current trend in buildings costs. There is also available an arrangement for index-linking the Day One Declared Value under this insurance. This option is on the conventional monthly update and is recommended mainly for smaller properties where values are less likely to be regularly reviewed. This does not avoid the need for periodic reviews for individual properties because the index is based on average tender costs for all types of construction around the UK.

10 2. Rent Receivable The sums insured must represent the actual annual rent and service charges at the commencement of the period of insurance multiplied by the indemnity period (in years). The indemnity period should represent the maximum time you consider it is likely to take to rebuild your premises following the serious damage plus the additional time it would take to find a new lessee if the original lessee is not obliged to return to the property under the terms of the lease. As a minimum the period selected should be that specified in any rent cessor clause. An uplift of 100% will be added to this base figure to cover any increases arising from rent reviews. REMEMBER: It is important that your sums insured are adequate or you may find that your claim will not be settled in full. Buildings and Rent cover 3. Fire & Specified Perils/All Risks Two options of your policy wording are available, one which sets out details of each peril covered and one on an All Risks basis where only excluded covers and causes are listed. Both options effectively provide the same level of cover if all the specified perils are selected, so it is a matter of your own preference. If there are any covers not required, the Fire and Specified Perils option should be selected and you should delete those covers not required. 4. Terrorism The basic policy contains an exclusion in respect of all loss or damage in consequence of Terrorism. However, this cover can be provided under a specific Terrorism section subject to an additional premium. Cover will be for the full sums insured requested in respect of premises in England, Scotland and Wales but limited to a maximum of 10,000,000 in respect of premises on the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. Cover is not available in Northern Ireland or elsewhere in the world. 5. Excesses The standard excesses are: Malicious Damage - Storm and Flood - Escape of Water or Oil - Impact - Theft - Accidental Damage 1,000 - Subsidence You may wish to have a higher excess in return for a reduction in premium or a lower excess for an additional premium.

11 6. Liability Cover Our standard policy does not cover liability relating to the legionella bacterium, and any occurrences of Legionnaires Disease, as this is not caused by a sudden incident as defined in the policy. If an extension is required to cover this liability, please complete the relevant part of this form. 7. Law Applicable The parties to the Policy have the right to choose the law applicable to the Policy.
