G. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
1. Arbitration Agreement
Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It affects your rights. Most of your concerns about
this policy can be addressed simply by contacting us at insert toll free number. In the unlikely event we
cannot resolve any disputes, including any claims under this policy, that you or we may have, YOU AND
WE AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH EITHER BINDING ARBITRATION OR
CLRI 005 (04/2012)
Page 5 of 9
2012 Asurion Insurance Services, Inc.

SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF THROUGH COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. YOU


AND WE AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.
YOU AND WE AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN
CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court.
Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. It has more limited discovery than in court
and is subject to limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court
can award.
For the purpose of this Arbitration Agreement, references to we us and our includes [Liberty Mutual
Insurance Company] [Liberty Insurance Underwriters Inc.], our Agent, the First Named Insured and their
respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, successors and assigns. This policy
evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the
interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the
termination of this policy.
This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be interpreted broadly, and it includes any dispute: (1) arising
out of or relating in any way to the policy or to the relationship between You and Us, whether based in
contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise; (2) that arose either before this Arbitration
Agreement or policy was entered into by you and us or that arises after this Arbitration Agreement or
policy is terminated; and (3) that currently is the subject of a purported class action litigation in which you
are not a member of a certified class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement does not
preclude you from bringing an individual action in small claims court or from informing any federal, state
or local agencies or entities of your dispute. Such agencies or entities may be able to seek relief on your
behalf.
If you or we intend to seek arbitration you and we must first send to the other a written Notice of Claim
(Notice) by certified mail. Your Notice to us should be addressed to: insert address. The Notice must
describe the dispute and state the specific relief sought. If you and we do not resolve the dispute within
30 days of receipt of the Notice, you or we may initiate an arbitration proceeding with the American
Arbitration Association (AAA). You can obtain the forms necessary to initiate an arbitration proceeding
by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. After we receive notice that you have commenced
arbitration, we will reimburse you for payment of any filing fee to the AAA. If you are unable to pay a
required filing fee, we will pay it if you send a written request by certified mail to: insert address. The
arbitration shall be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the
Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the Arbitration Rules) in effect at the time
the arbitration is initiated and as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You can obtain a copy of the
Arbitration Rules by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
The arbitrator appointed by the AAA to decide the dispute is bound by the terms of this Arbitration
Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Arbitration Agreement,
with the exception that issues relating to the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement may be decided
by a court. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county or
parish of your billing address. If your dispute is for $10,000 or less, you may choose to conduct the
arbitration hearings either by submitting documents to the arbitrator or by appearing before the arbitrator
in person or by telephone. If your dispute is for more than $10,000, the right to arbitration hearings will be
determined by the Arbitration Rules. We will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any
arbitration initiated pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement, unless your dispute is found by the arbitrator to
have been frivolous or brought for an improper purpose under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). In
that case, the payment of such fees shall be governed by the Arbitration Rules.
At the conclusion of the arbitration hearings, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision which includes an
explanation of the facts and law upon which the decision is based. If the arbitrator finds in your favor and
issues a damages award that is greater than the value of the last settlement offer made by us or if we
made no settlement offer and the arbitrator awards you any damages, we will: (1) pay you the amount of
the damages award or $7,500, whichever is greater; and (2) pay your attorney, if any, twice the amount of
the attorney's fees and the actual amount of any expenses reasonably incurred when pursuing your
dispute in arbitration. You and we agree not to disclose any settlement offers to the arbitrator until after
the arbitrator has issued the written decision. The arbitrator may resolve any disputes regarding
attorney's fees and expenses either during the arbitration hearings or, upon request, within 14 days of the
arbitrator's written decision. While the right to the attorneys fees and expenses discussed above is in
CLRI 005 (04/2012)
2012 Asurion Insurance Services, Inc.

Page 6 of 9

addition to any right you may have under applicable law, neither you nor your attorney may recover
duplicate awards of attorneys fees and expenses. Although we may have the right under applicable law
to recover attorneys fees and expenses from you if we prevail in the arbitration, we hereby waive the
right to do so.
To the extent either declaratory or injunctive relief is sought in the arbitration, such relief can be awarded
only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by a party's individual claim. YOU AND WE
AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL
CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not
consolidate the dispute of another person with your or our dispute and may not preside over any form of a
representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be
unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.
2. Claim Authorization and Loss Payment
We or our Agent has the right to settle the loss with the Insured or his or her designee.
No claims will be accepted unless authorized by our Agent.
All repairs and replacements must be made by the Authorized Service Center, unless we or our Agent
gives the Insured other specific directions. In no event will Insureds be entitled to reimbursement for any
out-of-pocket expenses.

for his or her interest in the Covered Property which he, she or it owns (references herein
to Insured refer collectively to First Named Insured and Additional Insured).
Requests for coverage for Additional Insureds are subject to our approval.
(1) Device Based Coverage provides coverage for Covered Property associated with a
specific enrolled portable electronic device active on the Additional Insureds account
with the Vendor.
(2) Account Based Coverage provides coverage for the enrolled Covered Property active
on the Additional Insureds account with the Vendor. For coverage to exist on any
portable electronic device, you must have enrolled the device for Account Based
Coverage.
When an Additional Insured enrolls a new portable electronic device for coverage,
coverage is effective immediately on the newly enrolled portable electronic device.
When a portable electronic device is removed from the Additional Insureds account
with the Vendor, it immediately ceases to be Covered Property.

Countrywide Rating Manual
Section One General Rules
I.

Application of Manual
This manual provides the rates and rules that will be used by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and
Liberty Insurance Underwriters, Inc. (collectively referred to as the Company) in providing Portable
Electronics Coverage to Portable Electronics Vendors and their customers.

II.

Eligibility Guidelines
A. Device Based Coverage
This coverage is available for Additional Insureds to cover one Portable Electronic device.
(Portable Electronics includes cell phones or similar equipment or other wireless devices where
voice, pager, or data plan capabilities are incorporated or accessible, such as personal digital
assistants (PDA), wireless aircards, laptops, netbooks, notebooks and other similar unspecified
portable electronic equipment or devices.) Refer to Section Two Device Based Coverage
Rates and Rating Rules for rating details.
B. Account Based Coverage
This coverage is available for Additional Insureds where multiple Portable Electronic devices may
be active under one customer account with the Portable Electronics Vendor. There are two
Account Based Coverage options available to the Portable Electronics Vendor. Coverage
extends either:
1. automatically to all Portable Electronics on the Additional Insureds account; or
2. to only the Portable Electronics on the Additional Insureds account for which the Additional
Insured specifically elects coverage.
If the insurance policy provides only Account Based Coverage, one of the following
endorsements will be attached: CLRI 007, CLRI 008, CLRI 009, CLRI 010, CLRI 016, or CLRI
017. If the insurance policy provides a combination of Account Based Coverage and Device
Based Coverage, one of the following endorsements will be attached: CLRI 011, CLRI 012, CLRI
013, CLRI 014, CLRI 018, or CLRI 019.
Additional Insureds with multiple portable electronic devices are characterized into one of two
groups for rating purposes:

III.

Small Account Based Coverage. Additional Insureds with ten or less devices on their
account that are not characterized as business accounts by their Portable Electronics
Vendor are rated as Small Accounts. Refer to Section Three Small Account Based
Coverage Rates and Rating Rules for rating details as applicable.

Large Account Based Coverage.


Additional Insureds characterized as business
accounts by their Portable Electronics Vendor are rated as Large Accounts. Refer to
Section Four Large Account Based Coverage Rates and Rating Rules for rating details
as applicable.

Aggregate Limit
A. Device Based Coverage
Each customer is limited to a set number of replacements or repairs in any consecutive 12 month
period. When this limit is exhausted, coverage will cease immediately and no further premiums
will be due. Refer to Rule IV. Rate Modification Factors of Section Two Device Based
Coverage Rates and Rating Rules for rating details.

B. Account Based Coverage Per Device Limit
Each device under the Additional Insureds account that is enrolled for Account Based Coverage
is limited to a set number of replacements or repairs in any consecutive 12 month period. When
this limit is exhausted for a particular device, coverage will cease immediately and no further
premiums will be due for that device. For rating details, refer to Rule III. Monthly Rates of Section
Three Small Account Based Coverage Rates and Rating Rules or Rule III. Monthly Rates of
Section Four Large Account Based Coverage Rates and Rating Rules, as applicable.
C. Account Based Coverage All Devices Limit
The aggregate limit of replacements or repairs available in any consecutive 12 month time period
is based on the number of devices on the Additional Insureds account and enrolled for Account
Based Coverage. When the applicable Aggregate Limit is exhausted, the Additional Insureds
coverage will cease immediately and no further premiums will be due. For rating details, refer to
Rule III. Monthly Rates of Section Three Small Account Based Coverage Rates and Rating
Rules or Rule III. Monthly Rates of Section Four Large Account Based Coverage Rates and
Rating Rules as applicable.
IV.

Policy Term
Policies will be issued on a continuous until cancelled basis.

V.

Factors or Multipliers
A. Unless otherwise specified, factors or multipliers are to be applied consecutively and not added
together.
B. Rate Modifications listed as % credits or debits are applied multiplicatively as follows: rate x (1
credit) or rate x (1 + debit %).

VI.

Rounding Rule
The indicated monthly premium calculated, after the application of schedule rating, may be rounded
up or down by up to $0.10 to achieve the final monthly premium.

based on their value and other technical considerations.

Liberty Insurance Underwriters, Inc.
Portable Electronics Coverage
Countrywide Rating Manual
B. Tier assignments of the current models of Portable Electronic devices will be listed in the
brochure provided to customers upon enrollment.
C. The value of Portable Electronic devices has the potential to decrease materially over time. As
such, the valuation of the various models of Portable Electronics insured by the Company will be
reviewed regularly, and tier assignment changes may result.
D. The number of rating tiers and the maximum and minimum boundaries of the tiers will vary by
insured Portable Electronics Vendor based on the various models of Portable Electronics
supported by the vendor. The table below lists the minimum device value that will be assigned to
each tier by any Portable Electronics Vendor.
Tier 1
None

Minimum Device Value

Tier 2
$50

Tier 3
$150

Tier 4
$250

Tiers 5+
$350

E. The base rates by tier reflect that remanufactured or discounted cost parts are available to the
claim administrator for the repair and replacement of most Portable Electronic devices. For new,
unique models of devices, only new parts at full retail price may be available. To recognize the
impact of extremely limited use of remanufactured or discounted parts on claim severity, the
value of a particular model of device may be increased according to the table below, for tiering
purposes.
% Remanufactured or
Discounted Parts

10.01% to 30.0%
<= 10.0%

F. When model information is not readily available or tier rating is not practical due to system
constraints or other limitations, a one-size rate will be applied to all models of devices.
III.

B. If additional tier breakdowns within the standard five listed above are desired, the base rates for
the additional tiers should be calculated using straight line interpolation between the base rates
and value midpoints of surrounding tiers. If the base deductibles of the surrounding tiers are not
equal, apply the appropriate deductible factor from Rule IV.A.2 to the rate for the higher
surrounding tier to convert it to the same deductible level as the lower surrounding tier, prior to
interpolating the rates.
C. If additional tiers, beyond the upper bound of the fifth tier listed above, are desired the base rates
for the additional higher tiers should be calculated using the following extrapolation formula:
Rate NEW TIER = (Lower Bound NEW TIER / Lower Bound TIER 5) X Rate TIER 5 X 0.90

3. For deductible options not shown, interpolate between surrounding options to determine
deductible factor.
4. For deductible options above the largest deductible option listed for a tier, multiply the
deductible factor for the largest deductible in that tier by 0.95 for every $10 increase in
deductible, and round to the nearest 0.001, to determine the appropriate deductible factor.
For example, a $175 deductible has 2.5 $10 increments above $150. Therefore, the resulting
^2.5
Tier 5 $175 deductible factor is 0.581 (0.581 = 0.660 x (0.95) ).
5. Deductibles by Peril
a. Different deductibles by peril are available under the policy for Plans 3, 4 and 5.
b. The applicable deductible factor will be a weighted average of the factors for the
deductibles associated with each peril. The table below shows the weights that should
be used, by plan.

Loss Cost Multiplier (LCM) Template Instructions


The LCM Template spreadsheet must be completed for those rate filing submissions where the
filed line or coverage utilizes a Loss Cost Multiplier. Examples include new or existing program
rate filings that involve the adoption of Advisory Organization loss costs, and existing program rate
filings where the LCM is being revised.
There are a number of data cells on the LCM Template spreadsheet that automatically populate
either by reference to cells on other spreadsheets or by formula calculation. However there are five
lines within the LCM Template spreadsheet for which additional data entry is required. The first
three data entry items pertain to rate filing submissions that include an adoption of Advisory
Organization loss costs. The last two data entry items are required only for existing programs.
Complete the following for existing and new program rate filings when Advisory
Organization loss costs are being adopted:
Spreadsheet Item #1.1 CDI Filing Number Please enter the CDI filing number of the
Advisory Organization loss cost filing being adopted. If additional loss cost updates are
being covered, please also identify the CDI filing number(s) of the additional loss cost
updates being covered.
Spreadsheet Item #1.2 Loss Cost Percent Change Approved for the Line or Coverage
Please enter the CDI percent change approved for the Advisory Organization loss cost filing
identified as Item #1.1. If multiple loss cost updates are being covered, identify the
cumulative percent change approved.
Spreadsheet Item #1.3 AOE or LAE Load Approved for the Line or Coverage As identified
within the Advisory Organization loss cost filing entered as Item #1.1, please indicate the
type of AOE or LAE expense loading the Advisory Organization used in its loss cost filing
and enter the load amount.
Complete the following for existing programs only; do not complete the following for new
program filings:
Spreadsheet Item #2.1 Current Expense Based LCM Please enter the current expense based
LCM for the filed line/coverage.

Spreadsheet Item #2.2 Current Loss Cost Modification Expressed as a Factor Please enter
the current Loss Cost Modification Factor applicable to the current expense based LCM.

Spreadsheet Items #3 through #7 are calculated fields.

Spreadsheet Item #3 calculates the insurers current Final LCM.


Spreadsheet Item #4 calculates the Advisory Organizations AOE as a percent of loss and DCCE.
Spreadsheet Item #5 calculates the maximum CDI allowable expense based LCM for the filed
line/coverage.
Spreadsheet Item #6 calculates the maximum CDI allowable loss cost modification factor for the
filed line/coverage.
Spreadsheet Item #7 calculates the maximum CDI allowable Final LCM for the filed
line/coverage. If the Insurers current Final LCM (Item #3) and/or proposed Final LCM is greater
than the Max Final LCM (Item #7), the Insurer will need to reduce its Final LCM so that it is no
greater than the CDI calculated maximum allowable Final LCM. Otherwise, exceeding the CDI
calculated maximum allowable Final LCM will require the filing of a Variance.

LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
LIBERTY INSURANCE UNDERWRITERS INC.
Portable Electronics Equipment Coverage
Explanatory Memorandum - RATES
CALIFORNIA
Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and Liberty Insurance Underwriters Inc. (the Company) are filing, for
your review and approval, a new Portable Electronics Commercial Inland Marine Insurance Policy.
This is a resubmission of SERFF filing number ASTP-128339088. The initial filing was withdrawn as it
was submitted as a rate/rule filing and should have been submitted as a new program filing. Additionally
the CDI requested that line items 6 and 8 on page 7 of the rate application be populated and requested a
revised Exhibit 17. With this resubmission, a revised Exhibit 17 has been included. The filing has been
submitted as a new program filing and lastly, line item 6 and 8 of the rate application has been populated.
The Companys Portable Electronics Commercial Inland Marine Insurance Policy program provides
coverage for insured Portable Electronic Devices. Device Based Coverage is available for customers
(subscribers) with a single Portable Electronic Device obtained from the Vendor. Account Based
Coverage is designed to provide coverage for subscribers on an account basis when the subscriber has
multiple Portable Electronic Devices on one subscriber account with the Vendor. (Portable Electronic
Devices includes cell phones or similar equipment or other wireless devices where voice, pager, or data
plan capabilities are incorporated or accessible, such as personal digital assistants (PDA), wireless
aircards, laptops, netbooks, notebooks and other similar unspecified portable electronic equipment or
devices.)
The Company is submitting a rating manual and state exception page, if applicable.
Background
This program is a commercial inland marine policy designed to cover loss, theft, damage and/or
mechanical or electrical breakdown to Portable Electronic Devices, thus allowing the Vendor to reduce or
mitigate any interruption of services to its customers.
The program is marketed and administered by a licensed agent of the Company. The agent works with
the Company and the Vendor to select specific plan options for each insured Vendor. In addition, the
agent administers the policy, responds to insurance inquiries from the subscribers, collects premiums,
and provides subscriber service.
Vendors provide Portable Electronic Devices and enroll customers into related voice or messaging
services. When customers purchase equipment or activate their voice, data and/or messaging service,
the Vendors' personnel offer them the opportunity to request enrollment for insurance coverage.
Brochures containing the coverage terms and summaries of significant program components are
available. If the customer requests enrollment under the insurance program, the request is transmitted
electronically to the agent. If eligible, the customer becomes an enrolled subscriber (Additional Insured)
under the program.
Rate Development
The rates for this program are based on those recently filed (CDI Filing # 11-10265) for the Company
under another similar program, Wireless Communications Equipment Coverage (WCEC). That program
provides coverage to Wireless Communication Providers and their subscribers for loss, theft, damage
and/or mechanical or electrical breakdown to communication equipment. While the core components of
the proposed rating manual for Portable Electronics Coverage are based on the rating manual for WCEC,
we have made some minor modifications to the rating manual to reflect the differences between the two
programs. The deviations from the current approved WCEC rating manual are explained below. In

Exhibit 17
addition, a redlined version of the countrywide rating manual, highlighting the exact differences between
the rating manuals for this program and the WCEC program, is included as follows this Explanatory
Memorandum.

B. If additional tier breakdowns within the standard five listed above are desired, the base rates for
the additional tiers should be calculated using straight line interpolation between the base rates
and value midpoints of surrounding tiers. If the base deductibles of the surrounding tiers are not
equal, apply the appropriate deductible factor from Rule IV.A.2 to the rate for the higher

surrounding tier to convert it to the same deductible level as the lower surrounding tier, prior to
interpolating the rates.
C. If additional tiers, beyond the upper bound of the fifth tier listed above, are desired the base rates
for the additional higher tiers should be calculated using the following extrapolation formula:
Rate NEW TIER = (Lower Bound NEW TIER / Lower Bound TIER 5) X Rate TIER 5 X 0.90

3. For deductible options not shown, interpolate between surrounding options to determine
deductible factor.
4. For deductible options above the largest deductible option listed for a tier, multiply the
deductible factor for the largest deductible in that tier by 0.95 for every $10 increase in
deductible, and round to the nearest 0.001, to determine the appropriate deductible factor.
For example, a $175 deductible has 2.5 $10 increments above $150. Therefore, the resulting
Tier 5 $175 deductible factor is 0.581 (0.581 = 0.660 x (0.95)^2.5).
5. Deductibles by Peril
a. Different deductibles by peril are available under the policy for Plans 3, 4 and 5.
b. The applicable deductible factor will be a weighted average of the factors for the
deductibles associated with each peril. The table below shows the weights that should
be used, by plan.

6. Declining Deductibles
a. The policy may provide for a deductible that decreases once the Additional Insured has
been continuously insured with no claims for a given length of time.
b. The applicable deductible factor will be a weighted average of the factors for the
deductibles associated with the various time periods.

{100% - 3.68% x [1 0.96325]/[1-0.963]} x 1.000.
B. Accessory Coverage
1. The base rates shown above contemplate coverage for basic accessories such as the
standard battery, standard cigarette lighter adaptor, standard case and standard charger.
2. Coverage for some accessories such as the standard cigarette lighter adaptor, standard case
and other similar basic accessories may be excluded. If coverage for some basic accessories
is not provided, apply a factor of 0.990 to the rate.
C. Tier Rating Expense Factor
The administration expenses associated with multi-tiered rated insureds are higher than the
expenses of one-size rated insureds. To recognize this expense variance, apply the appropriate
factor from the table below to the rate according to the number of tiers utilized for a given insured.

LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY


LIBERTY INSURANCE UNDERWRITERS INC.
Portable Electronics Equipment Coverage
Explanatory Memorandum
Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and Liberty Insurance Underwriters Inc. (the Company) are filing, for
your review and approval, a new Portable Electronics Commercial Inland Marine Insurance Policy.
The Companys Portable Electronics Commercial Inland Marine Insurance Policy program provides
coverage for insured Portable Electronic Devices. Device Based Coverage is available for customers
(subscribers) with a single Portable Electronic Device obtained from the Vendor. Account Based
Coverage is designed to provide coverage for subscribers on an account basis when the subscriber has
multiple Portable Electronic Devices on one subscriber account with the Vendor. (Portable Electronic
Devices includes cell phones or similar equipment or other wireless devices where voice, pager, or data
plan capabilities are incorporated or accessible, such as personal digital assistants (PDA), wireless
aircards, laptops, netbooks, notebooks and other similar unspecified portable electronic equipment or
devices.)
The Company is submitting a rating manual and state exception page, if applicable, as well as a policy,
Declarations page, twelve Account Based Coverage endorsements, two deductible endorsements and
clarifying endorsements that delete language or exclusions contained within the policy form.
Background
This program is a commercial inland marine policy designed to cover loss, theft, damage and/or
mechanical or electrical breakdown to Portable Electronic Devices, thus allowing the Vendor to reduce or
mitigate any interruption of services to its customers.
The program is marketed and administered by a licensed agent of the Company. The agent works with
the Company and the Vendor to select specific plan options for each insured Vendor. In addition, the
agent administers the policy, responds to insurance inquiries from the subscribers, collects premiums,
and provides subscriber service.
Vendors provide Portable Electronic Devices and enroll customers into related voice or messaging
services. When customers purchase equipment or activate their voice, data and/or messaging service,
the Vendors' personnel offer them the opportunity to request enrollment for insurance coverage.
Brochures containing the coverage terms and summaries of significant program components are
available. If the customer requests enrollment under the insurance program, the request is transmitted
electronically to the agent. If eligible, the customer becomes an enrolled subscriber (Additional Insured)
under the program.
Rate Development
The rates for this program are based on those recently filed (CDI Filing # 11-10265) for the Company
under another similar program, Wireless Communications Equipment Coverage (WCEC). That program
provides coverage to Wireless Communication Providers and their subscribers for loss, theft, damage
and/or mechanical or electrical breakdown to communication equipment. While the core components of
the proposed rating manual for Portable Electronics Coverage are based on the rating manual for WCEC,
we have made some minor modifications to the rating manual to reflect the differences between the two
programs. The deviations from the current approved WCEC rating manual are explained below. In
addition, a redlined version of the countrywide rating manual, highlighting the exact differences between
the rating manuals for this program and the WCEC program, is included as Exhibit 17.

Forms
The Company is submitting the following forms:
o

The declarations page, CLRI 006, provides specific information such as the coverage plan, applicable
deductible, etc. To assist in the review process, we included explanatory language in red text.

A policy form, CLRI 005, which outlines the coverage and conditions of the policy. To assist in the
review process, we included explanatory language in red text.

Eight endorsements are utilized to support Account Based Coverage with an Aggregate Limit that
provides for a maximum number of losses for each Additional Insureds account. Four modify the
policy to provide only Account Based Coverage (Account Based Coverage Endorsements). Four
modify the policy to accommodate both Device and Account Based Coverage (Device and Account
Based Coverage Endorsements):

Account Based Coverage Endorsements replace portions of the Coverage, Limits of Insurance
and Additional Conditions sections of the policy to reflect Account Based Coverage rather than
Device Based Coverage.

Form numbers CLRI 007 and CLRI 008 will be utilized when only Account Based Coverage is
provided under the policy and all the Portable Electronic Devices under a subscribers
insured account are enrolled for coverage. CLRI 007 provides for the review and adjustment
of the Aggregate Limit at the time an Additional Insured adds or removes devices. CLRI 008
provides for the review and adjustment of the Aggregate Limit at the time a replacement or
repair is provided.

Form numbers CLRI 009 and CLRI 010 will be utilized when only Account Based Coverage is
provided under the policy and subscribers elect to enroll only the select Portable Electronic
Devices under their account. CLRI 009 provides for the review and adjustment of the
Aggregate Limit at the time an Additional Insured adds or removes devices. CLRI 010
provides for the review and adjustment of the Aggregate Limit at the time a replacement or
repair is provided.

Device and Account Based Coverage Endorsements replace portions of the Coverage, Limits of
Insurance and Additional Conditions sections of the policy to reflect both Account Based
Coverage and Device Based Coverage.

Form numbers CLRI 011 and CLRI 012 will be utilized when both Account Based Coverage
and Device Based Coverage are provided under the policy and all the Portable Electronic
Devices associated under a subscribers insured account are enrolled for coverage. CLRI
011 will be utilized when the Aggregate Limit is reviewed at the time an Additional Insured
adds or removes devices. CLRI 012 will be utilized when the Aggregate Limit is reviewed at
the time a replacement or repair is provided.

Form numbers CLRI 013 and CLRI 014 will be utilized when both Account Based Coverage
and Device Based Coverage are provided under the policy and subscribers elect to enroll
only select Portable Electronic Devices under their account. CLRI 013 will be utilized when
the Aggregate Limit is reviewed at the time an Additional Insured adds or removes devices.
CLRI 014 will be utilized when the Aggregate Limit is reviewed at the time a replacement or
repair is provided.

Four endorsements supporting Account Based Coverage with an Aggregate Limit that provides for a
fixed number of losses per enrolled device on an Additional Insureds account. These endorsements
amend the Coverage, Limits of Insurance and Additional Conditions sections of the policy based upon
the enrollment option selected under the program:

Form number CLRI 016 will be utilized when only Account Based Coverage is provided under
the policy and the Portable Electronic Devices associated with all of the devices under a
subscribers insured account are enrolled for coverage with an Aggregate Limit that provides
for a fixed number of losses per enrolled device under the account.

Form number CLRI 017 will be utilized when only Account Based Coverage is provided under
the policy and subscribers elect to enroll only select Portable Electronic Devices under their

device under the account.

Form number CLRI 019 will be utilized when both Account Based Coverage and Device
Based Coverage are provided under the policy and subscribers elect to enroll only select
Portable Electronic Devices under their account with an Aggregate Limit that provides for a
fixed number of losses per enrolled devices under the account.

Two deductible endorsements are introduced.

Form number CLRI 020 will be utilized when the program provides a Good or Loss Free
Additional Insured declining deductible.

Form number CLRI 021 will be utilized when there is a different deductible based on the
cause of loss.

Five additional endorsements are provided as follows:

Form number CLRI 015 deletes the electrical and mechanical breakdown exclusion
contained in the policy when these are covered causes of loss, i.e. when plan 3 or 5 is
selected on the declaration page. When this exclusionary endorsement is added to a policy,
the exclusions section of the policy will be renumbered accordingly to reflect the elimination
of the exclusion.

Form number CLRI 022 will be utilized when the program provides virus coverage. This
endorsement deletes the virus exclusion from the policy when the policy covers computer
viruses or other malicious codes that disrupt the normal operation of the covered property or
destructs the data or programs stored in the covered property.

Form number CLRI 023 will be utilized when the program provides coverage for batteries.
This endorsement deletes batteries from the Property Not Covered section when batteries
are covered under the policy.

Form number CLRI 024 amends the Standard Software definition under the Property Not
Covered section to include other covered software listed on the Standard Software
Schedule.

Form number CLRI 025 is the Standard Software Schedule that will be used to list the
