T7. Revenue.
T7.1 Revenue Projection.
In order for us to determine the amount of insurance that would not
unreasonably distort the sales price of your Technology, we need you to
provide us with three (3)-year projected (prospective) revenue estimates for
your Technology - all assuming that your Technology is approved under the
SAFETY Act. The three-year period should include your current fiscal year,
if incomplete, and two subsequent years.

1 Please indicate whether the policy(ies) has a different limit or deductible/self-insured retention for

terrorist acts than the general policy limit and, if so, provide both.
2 Insurance premium: If possible, please indicate what percentage of the premium is allotted to coverage

for acts of terrorism.
DHS Form 10001 (10/06)

If you do not have current year sales for your Technology, please provide us
with three (3)-year projected revenue data.
The revenue data needs only to pertain to your Technology and the numbers
need only be summarized data (that is, we do not require the revenue
sources to be itemized). The revenue data should be matched with
summarized cost data (e.g., cost of goods sold); as with the revenue data, we
do not require breakdown of data by cost centers.
T7.2 Financial Data
Certain financial information regarding your company and
projected/prospective Technology revenue may be particularly relevant to
the application process. This is particularly true when questions arise as to
whether insurance costs for specified coverage limits unduly distort the price
of your Technology. We may request additional financial information from
the Applicant if necessary.
T8. Please provide information regarding the described transfer’s effect on the
QATT’s safety or efficacy, or risk(s) associated with its deployment.
If POCs are provided as sources of information or testimonials, check below to
indicate that you have contacted them and that they are expecting to hear from
DHS related to your Technology. Also, indicate below what information we should
expect from each POC.
The POCs are expecting contact from DHS. The information the POC can
provide or verify is:

with the Office of SAFETY Act Implementation (OSAI).
Item T2.2. QATT Application Identification Number
Enter the Application Identification Number of the original Designation for this
QATT.

Transferee Information
Item T3. Name
Enter the registration name of the Transferee. This should be the company or
business unit name used by the Transferee to register as a Seller. The recipient of the
transfer must be registered with OSAI before the transfer can take place. See
Chapter 2 of this kit for detailed instructions on how to register. Registration with
OSAI does not commit the registrant to any further actions.
Item T3.2. Place of Incorporation
Identify the place where the transferee is incorporated.
Item T3.3. Company Description
Provide an overview of your company, description of your business including
number of employees and office location associated with production of newly
acquired QATT.

Description of Transfer
Item T4. Effective Date of Transfer of Rights
Enter the date that the Transferee acquired the right to sell the QATT or the
proposed date if that has not yet occurred. Use month/date/year format.

Item T5. Brief Description
Summarize the nature and terms of the transfer agreement. What rights (if any) does
the current Seller retain? What rights are transferred to the Transferee?
DHS Form 10001 (10/06)

Item T6. Insurance
In order for SAFETY Act protections to transfer, the Transferee must meet any
special conditions associated with the Designation and/or Certification. In addition,
the Transferee must meet the obligation to maintain insurance as set forth in the
SAFETY Act Designation issued to the Transferor.
For item 6a., provide the name of the company identified as the primary insured for
the relevant current policy. If you are an additional insured instead of the primary
policy holder, please identify the primary insured and each other firm identified as an
additional named insured in item 16.1.b.
In item 6k., specify the type of terrorism coverage provided under the referenced
policy(ies) (e.g., Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act, as amended, other
coverage, no terrorism exclusion). Please specify the overall and per-occurrence
limits that would apply to the terrorism coverage.

Item T7. Revenue
Item T7.1. Revenue Projection
Please provide us with three (3)-year projected (prospective) revenue data for your
Technology. The three-year period should include the current fiscal year, if
incomplete, and two subsequent years (best estimate). If you do not have current
year sales data for your Technology, please provide us with best estimate projections
for the three years following the launch of the Technology. The SAFETY Act
requires Sellers of anti-terrorism technologies to obtain liability insurance of such
types and in such amounts to satisfy otherwise compensable third-party claims arising
out of, relating to, or resulting from an act of terrorism when a Technology has been
deployed in defense against, response to, or recovery from an act of terrorism.
Technology revenue projections are of particular relevance in the application
process. This is true when questions arise as to whether insurance costs unduly
distort the price of your Technology.
Item T7.2. Financial Data
Certain financial data may be used in the process for analyzing the appropriate
amount of insurance coverage for your particular Technology. This is particularly
true when questions arise as to whether insurance costs unduly distort the price of
your Technology. Accordingly, you may be asked to provide certain financial data to
OSAI as part of your application. If this is the case, OSAI will not demand financial
information when it is not necessary for a particular application, and will not disclose
sensitive or proprietary information outside the application process. Applicants may
wish to provide financial data relating exclusively to the Technology.

DHS Form 10001 (10/06)

provide any available supporting information.
If POCs are provided as sources of information or testimonials, please indicate that

your Technology. Also, indicate what information we should expect from each POC.

Declarations
