As a result of this placement, Alliant may also receive a supplemental commission from the carrier as part of a portfolio -based supplemental agreement that the carrier offers to its select, preferred agents or brokers among which Alliant is included. Eligibility for, and the amount of such supplemental compensation, are based upon the amount and quality of business that Alliant has placed or places with the insurer. Please note that, should you so desire, you may request in writing within 90 days after Alliant's delivery of this disclosure to have the premiums associated with your placement excluded from calculations under any supplemental commission agreement that might exist between Alliant and any insurance carrier. Should you elect to do so, any proceeds already received during the calendar year in question will be returned to the carrier. Such a request shall remain in force for successive periods unless revoked by you. A request to be excluded should be mailed to the address below. Upon written request made to the address below, Alliant will provide you with the quotes and indications sought and received by Alliarit in connection with your insurance placement, and with the terms, including any contractual agreement with any of the prospective insurers, of all compensation to be received by Alliant.

This line is designed to provide insureds with an additional resource on how to report claims or those circumstances or events which may become claims. Policyholders will be able to obtain assistance on the following topics from the Claims Information Line: •The information that needs to be included with the claim notice •The address, electronic mail address and /or facsimile number to which the policyholder can send claims related information • Get questions on the claim process answered The Declarations Page of your policy sets forti where you should report claims and claims related information. You should also review the policy's reporting requirements to be aware of how much time you have to report a claim to Travelers. The sooner Travelers is notified, the sooner we can become involved in the process and offer assistance to our policyholder. A delay in reporting may result in all or part of a matter to fall outside of the coverage provided. The Claims Information Line should streamline the claim reporting process and allow policyholders to ask questions on what information is needed as well as other questions which will assist them in working with Travelers. While the Claims Information Line provides policyholders a valuable resource by answer questions and providing information, the line does not replace the reporting requirements contained in the Policy. We hope this improvement to customer service is something our policyholders will find helps them understand the claim process and provides them a resource for reporting.
