EIM’S CONCERNS2003 and 2004

All policies will be coming off multi-year programs priced in 1999 or 2000 when premiums were low and limits were high.

Need to manage book to ensure we can continue to provide same products and services.

EIM MANDATE:ADJUST PREMIUMS AND MANAGE LIMITS

Page 3: UNDERWRITING OVERVIEW JILL DOMINGUEZ VICE PRESIDENT UNDERWRITING

Member’s Wishes

Keep a large amount of capacity Keep broadest form available Do not hit all Members with the same

increase in premium- differentiate among the Members

CHANGES TO 2003 POLICY Brought Discovery Period provision back to one year for

100% of annual premium, in lieu of five years at 100% of annual premium

Separated Fiduciary Liability from Excess GL policy; gave a dedicated $25M limit instead of sharing limit with Excess General Liability

Took automatic reinstatement wording off policies

No major cutbacks in what our policies cover; still full follow form to AEGIS; still the broadest GL, Fiduciary, and D&O coverage available for utilities and Members of the energy services industry
