C. The following is added and supersedes any prov- <br />isions to the contrary: <br />Nonrenewal <br />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 <br />Farm 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 earthquake <br />coverage, if one or more of the following <br />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 in <br />the premium charged for reinsurance <br />coverage of our residential property <br />insurance policies; and the Comm- <br />issioner has approved a plan for the <br />nonrenewals that is fair and <br />equitable, and that is responsive to <br />the changes in our reinsurance <br />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 , <br />that included an earthquake policy premium <br />surcharge. <br />d. We will not refuse to renew such coverage <br />solely because corrosive soil conditions <br />exist on the premises. This restriction (d.) <br />applies only if coverage is subject to one of <br />the following, which exclude loss or damage <br />caused by or resulting from corrosives oil <br />conditions: <br />(1) Commercial Property Coverage Part — <br />Causes Of Loss — Special Form; or <br />(2) Farm Coverage Part — Causes Of Loss <br />Form — Farm Property, Paragraph D. <br />Covered Causes Of Loss — Special. <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, with- <br />out any changes in terms, conditions or <br />rates, is between us and a member of our <br />insurance group. <br />IL 02 70 09 12 C Insurance Services Office,lnc., 2012 <br />�oRaN <br />} z <br />RiskMmVmedDMsfan <br />REVIEWED & APPROVED BY.- <br />f R.
