6. CONDITIONS

6.1 Other Insurance

This Policy does not indemnify any loss or damage which at the time of the
occurrence of such loss is insured or would, but for the existence of this Policy be
insured by any other policy or policies of insurance except in respect of any excess
beyond the amount which would have been payable under such other policy or
policies had this Policy not been effected.

6.2 Territorial Limits

This Policy insures Buildings and Contents owned by the Insured or for which the
Insured is legally responsible and situated at the Insured Locations specified in
Schedule 2 to the Policy.

6.3 Due Diligence

It is a condition precedent to Underwriters' liability that the Insured shall at all times
and at its own expense use due diligence, and do and concur in doing and permit
to be done, all things reasonably practicable (including but not limited to
precautions to protect or remove the Buildings and Contents insured herein) to
avoid or diminish any loss or damage under this Policy and including action against
other parties to enforce any rights and remedies or to obtain relief or indemnity. It
is also a condition precedent to Underwriters' liability that the Insured shall do all
things necessary to ensure and require that its agents, sub and co-contractors do
all things reasonably practicable to avoid or diminish any loss or damage under this
Policy.

6.4 Protections Maintenance

The Insured shall ensure that effective protections exist for the safety of the
Buildings and Contents and that such protections shall be maintained in good order
throughout the currency of this Policy and shall be in use at all appropriate times.
Such protection shall not be withdrawn or varied without Underwriters' prior written
consent.

6.5 Declared Values Penalty

If at the time that any Buildings or Contents are lost or damaged, the total value of
all such insured property at the Insured Location at which said loss or damage

623AFB00154 – Political Violence - Property Damage Wording 7


occurred is greater than the Declared Value for that Insured Location by more than
10%, then the Insured shall be entitled to recover no more hereunder than such
proportion of the loss or damage as the Declared Value bears to the total value of
all insured property at that Insured Location. For the avoidance of doubt,
Underwriters' maximum liability in respect of any one Insured Location shall not
exceed the Declared Value for such Insured Location.

6.6 Notification of Loss or Damage

It is a condition precedent to Underwriters' liability that in the event of loss or


damage or circumstances arising that may give rise to a claim under this insurance
notice is to be given to Underwriters as soon as reasonably possible but no later
than 14 days after the occurrence of said loss or damage.

6.7 Co-operation

It is a condition precedent to Underwriter's liability that the Insured must provide


Underwriters with such relevant information and evidence as Underwriters may
reasonably require and co-operate fully in the investigation and/or adjustment of
any claim. If required by Underwriters, the Insured agrees to submit to examination
under oath by any person designated by Underwriters.

6.8 Proof of Loss

The Insured shall render a signed and sworn proof of loss within 60 days after the
occurrence of such loss (unless such period shall be extended with the written
agreement of Underwriters) stating the time, place and cause of loss, the interest of
the Insured and all others in the Buildings and Contents, the Declared Values and
the amount of loss or damage thereto. If Underwriters have not received such
proof of loss within 1 year of the expiry of this Policy, they shall be discharged from
all liability in relation to such loss.

7. MULTIPLE INSUREDS

7.1 Each of the Insureds individually warrants that the information which has been
provided to Underwriters in relation to placement, renewal, amendment of or
extension to this Policy by or on behalf of itself or any of the other Insureds, is
materially accurate and complete so far as it concerns the risks in which that
Insured (by itself or with others) has an interest that is insured hereunder.

7.2 Breach of any warranty hereunder by any one of the Insureds shall be deemed to
be in breach of warranty by all of the Insureds as if the same had been committed
by each and every one of the said Insureds, subject only to Underwriters' express
written waiver of the same.

7.3 The total liability of the Underwriters in the aggregate for any loss or losses
sustained by any or all of the Insureds, or at any or all of the Insured Locations,
shall not exceed the amount for which Underwriters would be liable had such loss
or losses been sustained by any one Insured, or at any one Insured Location,
alone. For the avoidance of doubt, the Policy Limit applies to the aggregate of all
claims by all Insureds and in respect of all Insured Locations hereunder, and
Underwriters shall have no liability in excess of the Policy Limit whether insured
losses are sustained by all of the Insureds or any one or more of them or whether
insured losses are sustained at any one or more of the Insured Locations.

623AFB00154 – Political Violence - Property Damage Wording 8


7.4 The application of any Exclusion against any Insured shall be deemed to exclude
loss for all Insureds hereunder, subject only to Underwriters' express written waiver
of the same.

8. SUBROGATION

If Underwriters become liable for any payment under this Policy in respect of loss or
damage, they shall become subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all the rights and
remedies of the Insured against any party in respect of such loss or damage and shall be
entitled at their own expense to sue in the name of the Insured to recover for Underwriters'
benefit the amount of any payment made under this insurance, in addition to Underwriters'
own costs and expenses. The Insured shall give to Underwriters all such assistance in its
power as Underwriters may require to secure said rights and remedies (including attending
hearings and trials, securing and giving evidence, obtaining the attendance of witnesses,
assisting in effecting settlements and in conducting litigation, arbitration or other
proceedings) and, at Underwriters' request, shall enter into such agreements and execute
or sign such documents as may be necessary to enable Underwriters to bring suit in the
name of the Insured.

9. RECOVERIES

All salvage, recoveries and payments recovered or received by the Insured from any
source subsequent to a loss settlement under this Policy, after reimbursement of
Underwriters' expenses of recovery if any, shall inure to the benefit of Underwriters until
they shall have been reimbursed to the extent of any loss settlement. Any further salvage,
recoveries and payments shall accrue to the benefit of the Insured.

10. ABANDONMENT

Unless Underwriters elect to take the Buildings and Contents as salvage, said property will
at all times remain the property of the Insured who may not abandon it to Underwriters.

11. FALSE OR FRAUDULENT CLAIMS

If the Insured shall make any claim knowing the same to be false or fraudulent, as regards
amount or otherwise, this Policy shall become void and all claims hereunder shall be
forfeited.

12. INSPECTION AND AUDIT

12.1 Underwriters shall be permitted but not obligated to inspect the Buildings and
Contents at any time. Neither Underwriters' right to make inspections nor the
making thereof nor any report thereon shall constitute an undertaking, on behalf of
or for the benefit of the Insured or others, to determine or warrant that such
property is safe. No other party shall be entitled to rely on Underwriters' inspection
without their prior written consent.

12.2 Underwriters shall be entitled to examine and audit the Insured's books and records
at any time during the Policy period and any extensions thereof and within 2 years
after the final termination of this Policy, as far as they relate to the subject matter of
this insurance.

623AFB00154 – Political Violence - Property Damage Wording 9


13. ASSIGNMENT

No assignment or change of interest in this insurance or any amount payable under it shall
be binding on or recognised by Underwriters, except with their prior written consent.

14. RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES

This Policy is effected solely between the Insured and Underwriters. This Policy shall not
and is not intended to confer any benefits on any third parties, including but not limited to
shareholders, and no third party may enforce any term of this Policy. The Contract (Rights
of Third Parties) Act 1999 is excluded expressly from this insurance.

15. PREMIUM PAYMENT

The Insured undertakes that the premium shall be paid in full to Underwriters by the
Insured within 45 days of the date of inception of this Policy (or, in respect of instalments,
when due). If the premium due under this Policy has not been paid to Underwriters by
4.00 pm Greenwich meantime on the 45th day after the date of inception of this Policy (and,
in respect of instalments, by the date they are due), Underwriters shall have the right to
cancel the Policy by notifying the Insured at the address shown in item 1 of Schedule 1. In
such circumstances, cancellation shall be effective at 4.00 pm Greenwich meantime on the
15th day after the date of notice of cancellation by Underwriters and the Policy shall be
terminated automatically without further reference or confirmation to the Insured. In the
event of cancellation, premium is due to Underwriters on a pro rata basis for the period
that Underwriters are on risk but the full Policy premium shall be payable to Underwriters in
the event of loss, damage, circumstance or occurrence likely to give rise to claim under
this Policy. If the premium due is paid to Underwriters before the notice period expires,
such cancellation shall be automatically revoked.

16. CANCELLATION

16.1 This Policy may be cancelled by the Insured by written notice to Underwriters
stating when, not less than 30 days thereafter, the cancellation shall be effective.

16.2 Save where Clause 15 above applies, this Policy may be cancelled by Underwriters
by written notice to the Insured at the address shown in item 1 of Schedule 1
stating when, not less than thirty (30) days thereafter such cancellation shall be
effective.

16.3 The mailing of notice shall be sufficient proof of notice. The effective date and hour
of cancellation in the notice shall become the end of the Policy period. Delivery
(where permitted by law) of such written notice either by the Insured or by
Underwriters shall be equivalent to mailing.

16.4 If the Insured cancels this Policy, 25% of the premium charged shall be deemed
fully earned upon inception of the Policy and the remaining earned premium shall
be computed in accordance with the customary short rate table and procedure. If
Underwriters cancel this Policy the premium shall be computed pro rata.

16.5 The premium shall be deemed fully earned if any loss, damage, circumstance or
Occurrence has been notified under this Policy.

623AFB00154 – Political Violence - Property Damage Wording 10


16.6 Premium adjustment may be made either at the time of cancellation or as soon as
practicable thereafter but payment or tender of unearned premium is not a

detailed in Schedule 2 to the Policy are correct and that such uses shall not change during
the Policy Period without Underwriters' prior written consent.

1.1 Loss of Income: In consideration of the additional premium paid, this Policy is
extended to cover the actual loss of Income sustained by the Insured resulting
directly from Business Interruption.

1.2 Due consideration shall be given to the continuation of such reasonable charges
and expenses, including payroll expenses, to the extent necessary to resume the
Operations with the same operational capability as existed immediately before the
physical loss or damage occurred to Buildings and/or Contents.

1.3 Expenses to reduce loss: Underwriters shall also pay to the Insured the
additional necessary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Insured
in order to minimise its losses under this Extension and continue its business, less
any savings which result from the reduced costs and expenses during the period of
business interruption. Underwriters' liability for such costs and expenses shall not
exceed the amount by which loss otherwise payable under this Extension is
thereby reduced. For the avoidance of doubt, any sums paid by Underwriters in
respect of such costs and expenses shall form part of and shall not be in addition to
the Business Interruption Limit (if applicable) or Policy Limit (if applicable).

1.4 Indemnity under this Extension shall commence from the date on which the
physical loss or physical damage occurs to Buildings and/or Contents and continue
for the entire period of interruption of business but not beyond the lesser of:

1. the time required, with the exercise of due diligence and dispatch, to repair,
rebuild or reinstate such part of the Buildings and/or Contents as has been
destroyed or damaged commencing with the date of such direct physical loss or
damage; or

2. TWELVE (12) calendar months.

2. DEFINITIONS

"Business Interruption" shall mean the necessary and unavoidable interruption of or


interference with the Insured's Operations provided always that:

1. a business interruption value is declared in Schedule 2 to the Policy for the relevant
Insured Location(s); and

2. such business interruption occurs at an Insured Location; and

3. such business interruption occurs as a direct consequence of one or more of the


Covered Causes of Loss as are specified in item 4 of Schedule 1 and in respect of
which cover has been purchased by the Insured.

"Business Interruption Policy Limit" shall mean the business interruption policy limit
stated in item 12 of Schedule 1.

"Income" shall mean the net income (net profit or loss before income taxes) that would
have been earned or incurred.

"Finished Stock" shall mean stock manufactured by the Insured which in the ordinary
course of the Insured's business is ready for packing, shipment and sale.

"Merchandise" shall mean goods kept for sale by the Insured which are not the product of
manufacturing operations conducted by the Insured.

"Raw Stock" shall mean material in the state in which the Insured receives it for
conversion into Finished Stock.

"Stock in Process" shall mean Raw Stock which has undergone any ageing, seasoning,
mechanical or other process of manufacture at the Insured's premises but which has not
become Finished Stock.

3. CONDITIONS

3.1 Direct Damage

No claim shall be payable under this Extension unless and until a claim has been
paid or liability admitted by Underwriters, in respect of one or more of the Covered
Causes of Loss (as specified in item 4 of Schedule 1 and in respect of which cover
has been purchased by the Insured) and which Covered Cause(s) of Loss give rise
to Business Interruption. This condition shall not apply where no claim payment
has been made or liability admitted solely owing to the operation of a Deductible
which excludes liability for losses below a specified amount.

3.2 Basis of Settlement

1. The amount of Income loss shall be determined based on:

(a) the net income of the Operations before the direct physical loss or damage
to Buildings and Contents occurred;

(b) the likely net income of the Operations if no physical loss or damage had
occurred, but not including any net income that would likely have been
earned as a result of an increase in the value of business due to favourable
business conditions caused by the impact of the Covered Causes of Loss
on customers or on other business;

(c) the operating expenses, including payroll expenses, necessary to resume


Operations with the same operational capabilities that existed immediately
before the direct physical loss or damage; and

(d) other relevant sources of information including: the Insured's financial


records and accounting procedures; bills, invoices and other vouchers; and
deed, liens or contracts.

2. Resumption of Operations

If the Insured could reduce the loss under this Extension resulting from
Business Interruption:

(a) by complete or partial resumption of Operations, and/or

(b) by making use of Merchandise, Raw Stock, Stock in Process or Finished


Stock, or any other property at the Insured Locations or elsewhere, and/or

(c) by using or increasing Operations elsewhere,

then such possible reduction(s) shall be taken into account in arriving at the
amount of loss under this Extension.

If the Insured does not resume Operations, or does not resume Operations as
quickly as possible, Underwriters' liability shall be limited to the length of time it
would have taken for the Insured to resume Operations as quickly as possible.

3. Appraisal

If Underwriters and the Insured disagree on the amount of Income and/or


operating expense or the amount of loss, either may make written demand for
an appraisal of the loss. In this event, each party will select a competent and
impartial appraiser.

The two appraisers will select an umpire. If they cannot agree, either may
request that selection be made by the LCIA. The appraisers will state
separately the amount of Income and operating expense of the amount or loss.
If they fail to agree, they will submit their differences to the umpire. A decision
agreed to by any two will be binding. Each party will:

(a) pay its chosen appraiser; and

(b) bear the other expenses of the appraisal and umpire equally.

If there is an appraisal, Underwriters shall still retain the right to deny the claim.

3.3 Proof of Loss

The Insured shall give immediate written notice to Underwriters of any loss or
damage under this Extension and shall protect the property from further damage
that might result. Within 60 days following the date of physical loss or damage, the
Insured shall render to Underwriters a proof of loss, signed and sworn by the
Insured, stating the knowledge and belief of the Insured as to the following:

1. the time and origin of the property loss or damage causing the interruption of
business;

2. the interest of the Insured and of all others in the business;

3. all other contracts of insurance, whether valid or not, covering in any manner
the loss insured against by this policy;

4. any changes in the title, nature, location, encumbrance, possession of said


business since the issuing of the Policy; and

5. by whom and for what purpose any building at which loss or damage has
occurred and the several parts thereof were occupied at the time of loss of
damage,

and shall furnish a copy of all the description and schedules in all policies, and the
actual amount of business interruption value and loss claimed, accompanied by
detailed exhibits of all values, costs and estimates upon which such amounts are
based. The Insured shall exhibit to any person designated by Underwriters all that
remains of any property insured under this Extension, shall submit to examination
under oath by any person named by Underwriters, shall produce for examination all
books of account, bills, invoices and other vouchers, or certified copies thereof if
originals be lost, at such reasonable time and place as may be designated by
Underwriters or its representatives and shall permit extracts and copies thereof to
be made.

Insured Locations, by strikers or other persons, with rebuilding, repairing or
reinstating the property or with the resumption or continuation of Operations.

4.2 Increase in loss or damage caused directly or indirectly by suspension, lapse or

whatever nature.

change(s) to the buildings, structures, or equipment for any reason, nor any
additional time required for re-staffing or retraining employees.

5. LIMITATIONS

5.1 In respect of loss or damage suffered under this Extension, Underwriters' maximum
liability shall never be more than the Business Interruption Policy Limit (if
applicable), or Policy Limit (if applicable) where this Policy Limit is a combined
amount for losses arising from both physical loss or physical damage and Business
Interruption, for any one Occurrence.

5.2 For the avoidance of doubt, where a Business Interruption Policy Limit applies to
losses suffered under this Extension, it shall apply to the aggregate of all claims by
all Insureds and in respect of all Insured Locations hereunder, and Underwriters
shall have no liability in excess of the Business Interruption Policy Limit whether
insured losses are sustained by all of the Insureds or any one or more of them or
whether insured losses are sustained at any one or more of the Insured Locations.
Where the parties to this insurance have agreed that the Policy Limit shall be a
combined amount for losses arising from both physical loss or physical damage
and Business Interruption, Clause 7.3 shall apply in respect of Underwriters'
maximum liability for losses suffered under this Extension.

5.3 With respect to loss under this Extension resulting from damage to or destruction of
film, tape, disc, drum, cell and other magnetic recording or storage media for

diligence and dispatch to reproduce the data thereon from duplicates or from
originals of the previous generation, whichever is less; or
