This Agreement is part of the Company's efforts to expand the distribution of its insurance products.  It is not possible to estimate at this time the number of policies that may be written as a result of this Agreement, however, because GIA may represent other carriers or contract with other wholesale agencies or intermediaries during the term of this Agreement.
