Why Accuracy of Values is IMPORTANT • Premium • Loss Adjustment • Overall Indicator on Reliability of Information provided

Factors Impacting CAT Modeling – EQ, Flood and Named Windstorm • Complete Address including Number, Street Name, City, State and Zip Code • Accurate Values for Building and Contents • All of this Information is obtained from the Location Schedule

Named Windstorm - Construction – Secondary Characteristics 1 - Percent Complete 0 - Unknown 1 - Completed 2 - 80 to 100 % complete 3 - 50 to 80% complete 4 - Less than 50% complete 5 - Roof Maintenance 0 - Unknown Well-maintained roofs tend to hold up better under high wind conditions. 1 - Building maintenance enforced 2 - No building maintenance 6 - Roof Age 0 - Unknown 1 - Zero to five years 2 - Five to ten years 3 - Ten years or more Older roofs may a higher risk in a hurricane.

Construction – Secondary Characteristics (Continued) 8 - Roof Parapets 0 - Unknown Roof parapets hang off the edge of roofs and may be a risk in high winds. 1 - Presence of parapets (greater than 3 feet) 2 - No parapets (or parapets less than 3 feet) 10 - Mechanical and Electrical Systems (Roof Only) 0 - Unknown 1 - No equipment and/or skylights If there are large areas of roof covered with equipment, the building can be more vulnerable to wind because the equipment anchorage can compromise the roof’s integrity. 2 - Equipment securely anchored to roof structure 3 - Small area of roof covered by poorlyanchored equipment or skylights 4 - Substantial area of roof covered by non- or poorly-anchored equipment or skylights 12 - External Ornamentation 0 - Unknown 1 - Little ornamentation 2 - Average amount of ornamentation 3 - Heavy ornamentation Ornamentation includes all elements that can shake loose from either the roof or structural elements of the building.

Construction – Secondary Characteristics (Continued) 14 - Cladding Rating 0 - Unknown For cladding that is specifically designed and installed for extreme wind loading, the design documents state that engineering review of the cladding has been performed. 1 - Designed for extreme wind loading 2 - Product evaluation report 3 - Not specifically designed for extreme wind loading and/or product evaluation 16 - Architecture Elements 0 - Unknown 1 - None The presence of many architectural elements, such as tall parapets, overhangs, and carports are vulnerable and may cause increased wind damage to the structure. 2 - Canopies, roof overhangs, carports, parapets 17 - Mechanical and Electrical Systems (Building Side Only) 0 - Unknown 1 - None 2 - Generally braced 3 - Generally non-braced Mechanical and electrical systems that are attached to external walls can receive damage from high winds.

Construction – Secondary Characteristics (Continued) 19 - Wind Resistance of Window Openings 0 - Unknown Windows with poor wind resistance can expose interior building components and contents to more wind and water hazards than windows with good wind resistance. 1 - Windows with protection designed for extreme wind loading 2 - Windows with protection not designed for extreme wind loading 3 - Jalousie or awning windows 4 - Casement windows 5 - Sliding windows 20 - Wind Resistance of Door Openings 0 - Unknown 1 - Good design for wind protection 2 - Average design for wind protection 3 - Not designed for wind protection 4 - No door Doors with poor wind resistance can expose interior building components and contents to more wind and water hazards than doors with good wind resistance.

Construction – Secondary Characteristics (Concluded) 23 - Wind-Driven Missile Exposure 0 - Unknown 1 - None 2 - Airborne small missiles, gravel, foliage 3 - Protective foliage 4 - Gravel ballast present on buildings 5 - Potential severe missile exposure 6 - Isolated large trees Buildings may receive damage from airborne missiles, gravel, or from trees within falling distance.

Earthquake - Secondary Characteristics Shape Configuration 0 - Unknown Configurations can be regular (square, rectangular, circular) or irregular (L-shape, T-shape, triangular). Irregular buildings tend to twist in addition to shaking laterally. Damage often occurs at the corners between different wings of a building. 1 - Regular 2 - Irregular Setbacks and Overhangs 0 - Unknown Significant setbacks and overhangs can cause irregular structural performance in an earthquake. Resulting stress concentrations can lead to further damage. 1 - No 2 - Yes Cladding 0 - Unknown 1 - No Cladding 2 - Glass or Precast Concrete 3 - Unreinforced Masonry Even though they have little or no structural value, the cladding elements, such as an exterior wall of unreinforced masonry on a wood frame home, can cause significant loss if they sustain serious damage. Note: This will have the most impact if the cladding is Unreinforced Masonry.

Earthquake – Secondary Characteristics (Continued) Ornamentation 0 - Unknown Decorative elements that are attached to the exterior of a building and could fall off during an earthquake, such as unbraced parapet walls. 1 - Little or None 2 - Average 3 - Extensive Frame Bolted Down 0 - Unknown Unbolted buildings may slide off their foundations during a strong earthquake, causing significant damage. Anchoring the frame to the foundation has proven to be the best means of protection against earthquake damage in frame structures. 1 - Bolted 2 - Unbolted Purlin Anchoring (AKA "Tilt-up Retrofit") 0 - Unknown 1 - Properly Anchored 2 - Not Properly Anchored In older tilt-up structures, connections between the tilt-up walls and the roof framing system were designed inadequately for earthquake resistance. The failure of these connections can be prevented by the addition of special anchors.

Earthquake – Secondary Characteristics (Concluded) Mechanical & Electrical Equipment 0 - Unknown Damage to mechanical and electrical equipment can be prevented by anchoring such equipment to the floor and/or bracing it against structural elements. 1 - Generally Well Braced 2 - Somewhat Braced 3 - Generally Unbraced Pounding 0 - Unknown Pounding occurs when there is little or no clearance between adjacent buildings, and the buildings impact or "pound" against each other as they sway during an earthquake. 1 - No 2 - Yes Tank 0 - Unknown 1 - No 2 - Yes Rooftop tanks on adjoining, higher buildings are a falling hazard during an earthquake.
