provide us with an insurance binder but elected to purchase MBA Choice,
the following changes apply to this agreement:

or of, the vehicle; collision or comprehensive losses do not include damage
to the interior to the vehicle or its appliances.

$500 deductible per occurrence.

medical payments and statutory limits of uninsured and under insured motorist
coverage. Coverage applies in the United States, its territories, positions
and Canada. Coverage is void if you violate the terms of this agreement
or if you fail to cooperate in any loss investigation conducted by us
