**d. If a state of emergency under California Law is declared and the residential property is located in any ZIP Code within or adjacent to the fire perimeter, as determined by California Law, we may not cancel this policy for one year, beginning from the date the state of emergency is declared, solely because the dwelling or other structure is located in an area in which a wildfire has occurred. However, we may cancel:**

(1) When you have not paid the premium, at any time by letting you know at least 10 days before the date cancellation takes effect;

(2) If willful or grossly negligent acts or omissions by the Named Insured, or his or her representatives, are discovered that materially increase any of the risks insured against; or

(3) If there are physical changes in the property insured against, beyond the catastrophe-damaged condition of the structures and surface landscape, which result in the property becoming uninsurable.

**C. The following is added and supersedes any provisions to the contrary:**

**Nonrenewal**

1. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs C.2. and C.3. below, if we elect not to renew this policy, we will mail or deliver written notice, stating the reason for nonrenewal, to the first Named Insured shown in the Declarations, and to the producer of record, at least 60 days, but not more than 120 days, before the expiration or anniversary date.

We will mail or deliver our notice to the first Named Insured, and to the producer of record, at the mailing address shown in the policy.

2. **Residential Property**

This provision applies to coverage on real property used predominantly for residential purposes and consisting of not more than four dwelling units, and to coverage on tenants' household property contained in a residential unit, if such coverage is written under one of the following:

* **Commercial Property Coverage Part**
* **Farm Coverage Part – Farm Property – Farm Dwellings, Appurtenant Structures And Household Personal Property Coverage Form**

a. We may elect not to renew such coverage for any reason, except as provided in b., c. and d. below.

**b. We will not refuse to renew such coverage solely because the first Named Insured has accepted an offer of earthquake coverage. However, the following applies only to insurers who are associate participating insurers as established by Cal. Ins. Code Section 10089.16. We may elect not to renew such coverage after the first Named Insured has accepted an offer of earthquake coverage, if one or more of the following reasons applies:**

(1) The nonrenewal is based on sound underwriting principles that relate to the coverages provided by this policy and that are consistent with the approved rating plan and related documents filed with the Department of Insurance as required by existing law;

(2) The Commissioner of Insurance finds that the exposure to potential losses will threaten our solvency or place us in a hazardous condition. A hazardous condition includes, but is not limited to, a condition in which we make claims payments for losses resulting from an earthquake that occurred within the preceding two years and that required a reduction in policyholder surplus of at least 25% for payment of those claims; or

(3) We have:

(a) Lost or experienced a substantial reduction in the availability or scope of reinsurance coverage; or

(b) Experienced a substantial increase in the premium charged for reinsurance coverage of our residential property insurance policies; and

the Commissioner has approved a plan for the nonrenewals that is fair and equitable, and that is responsive to the changes in our reinsurance position.

**c. We will not refuse to renew such coverage solely because the first Named Insured has cancelled or did not renew a policy, issued by the California Earthquake Authority, that included an earthquake policy premium surcharge.**
