d. If a state of emergency under California <br />Law is declared and the residential property <br />is located in any ZIP Code within or <br />adjacent to the fire perimeter, as <br />determined by California Law, we may not <br />cancel this policy for one year, beginning <br />from the date the state of emergency is <br />declared, solely because the dwelling or <br />other structure is located in an area in <br />which a wildfire has occurred.However, we <br />may cancel: <br />(1) When you have not paid the premium, <br />at any time by letting you know at least <br />10 days before the date cancellation <br />takes effect; <br />(2) If willful or grossly negligent acts or <br />omissions by the Named Insured, or his <br />or her representatives, are discovered <br />that materially increase any of the risks <br />insured against; or <br />(3) If there are physical changes in the <br />property insured against, beyond the <br />catastrophe -damaged condition of the <br />structures and surface landscape, <br />which result in the property becoming <br />uninsurable. <br />C. The following is added and supersedes any <br />provisions to the contrary: <br />Nonrenewal <br />1. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs C.2. <br />and C.3. below, if we elect not to renew this <br />policy, we will mail or deliver written notice, <br />stating the reason for nonrenewal, to the first <br />Named Insured shown in the Declarations, and <br />to the producer of record, at least 60 days, but <br />not more than 120 days, before the expiration <br />or anniversary date. <br />We will mail or deliver our notice to the first <br />Named Insured, and to the producer of record, <br />at the mailing address shown in the policy. <br />2. Residential Property <br />This provision applies to coverage on real <br />property used predominantly for residential <br />purposes and consisting of not more than four <br />dwelling units, and to coverage on tenants' <br />household property contained in a residential <br />unit, if such coverage is written under one of <br />the following: <br />Commercial Property Coverage Part Farm <br />Coverage Part — Farm Property — Farm <br />Dwellings, Appurtenant Structures And <br />Household Personal Property Coverage Form <br />a. We may elect not to renew such coverage <br />for any reason, except as provided in b., c. <br />and d. below. <br />b. We will not refuse to renew such coverage <br />solely because the first Named Insured has <br />accepted an offer of earthquake coverage. <br />However, the following applies only to <br />insurers who are associate participating <br />insurers as established by Cal. Ins. Code <br />Section 10089.16. We may elect not to <br />renew such coverage after the first Named <br />Insured has accepted an offer of <br />earthquake coverage, if one or more of the <br />following reasons applies: <br />(1) The nonrenewal is based on sound <br />underwriting principles that relate to the <br />coverages provided by this policy and <br />that are consistent with the approved <br />rating plan and related documents filed <br />with the Department of Insurance as <br />required by existing law; <br />(2) The Commissioner of Insurance finds <br />that the exposure to potential losses will <br />threaten our solvency or place us in a <br />hazardous condition. A hazardous <br />condition includes, but is not limited to, <br />a condition in which we make claims <br />payments for losses resulting from an <br />earthquake that occurred within the <br />preceding two years and that required a <br />reduction in policyholder surplus of at <br />least 25% for payment of those claims; <br />or <br />(3) We have: <br />(a) Lost or experienced a substantial <br />reduction in the availability or scope <br />of reinsurance coverage; or <br />(b) Experienced a substantial increase <br />in the premium charged for <br />reinsurance coverage of our <br />residential property insurance <br />policies; and <br />the Commissioner has approved a plan <br />for the nonrenewals that is fair and <br />equitable, and that is responsive to the <br />changes in our reinsurance position. <br />c. We will not refuse to renew such coverage <br />solely because the first Named Insured has <br />cancelled or did not renew a policy, issued <br />by the California Earthquake Authority, that <br />included an earthquake policy premium <br />surcharge. <br />IL 02 70 12 19 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2019 Page 3 of 4 <br />
