Plaintiff, 

vs. CASE NO.: 5:19-CV-381-TKW-MJF

WESTCHESTER SURPLUS LINES

INSURANCE COMPANY, 

Defendant. 

________________________________________/ 

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO OVERRULE OBJECTIONS 

AND TO COMPEL BETTER RESPONSES TO 

PLAINTIFF’S FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES 

COMES NOW, Plaintiff ELITE MITIGATION SERVICE, LLC a/a/o Greta 

Lawrence (“Plaintiff”), by and through the undersigned counsel, pursuant to the 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37 and the Northern District of Florida Local Rule 

7.1(b), hereby files this Motion to Overrule Objections and to Compel Better 

Responses to Plaintiff’s First Set of Interrogatories, and states the following in 

support thereof: 

I. Factual Background & Procedural History

This case involves two separate and distinct homeowner’s insurance disputes 

following Hurricane Michael. See, DE 1-1 and 1-2, generally. Defendant is an 

insurance company and issued a homeowner’s insurance policy to Greta Lawrence 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 1 of 103
2 | Page

(hereinafter “Insured”) which provided insurance coverage to two separate 

structures at Insured’s property located at 5904 East Hwy 98, Panama City, Florida 

32404 (hereinafter “Insured Property”) for, inter alia, hurricane damage. See, DE 1-

1 at p. 6; DE 1-2 at p. 6. The property consists of two separate and distinct units: 

“Unit B” (a store) and “Unit C” (a dwelling). See, DE 1-1 at p. 14; DE 1-2 at p. 14. 

As such, the insurance policy in question is subdivided into separate and distinct 

coverages for each Unit. See, Insurance Policy attached hereto as “Exhibit A” at p. 

7. 

On or about October 10, 2018, both Unit B and Unit C of the Insured Property 

were damaged by Hurricane Michael. See, DE 1-1 at p. 6; DE 1-2 at p. 6. Thereafter, 

Insured entered into two separate contracts with Plaintiff, whereby Insured assigned 

to Plaintiff certain rights and benefits under the insurance policy for each Unit. See, 

DE 1-1 at pp. 6 and 14; DE 1-2 at pp. 6 and 14. Plaintiff then provided two separate 

and distinct sets of necessary emergency restoration and construction services at 

each of the two Units in question. Id. These two separate and distinct services 

resulted in two separate and distinct invoices – one invoice for Unit B in the amount 

of $55,314.29, and a second invoice for Unit C in the amount of $26,207.13. See, 

DE 1-1 at pp. 14 – 27; DE 1-2 at pp. 14 – 30. 

Subsequent to providing services at both Unit B and Unit C, Plaintiff 

submitted its two invoices to Defendant, along with the two respective assignment 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 2 of 103
3 | Page

agreements for each Unit. See, DE 1-1 at pp. 6 and 14; DE 1-2 at pp. 6 and 14. After

Defendant failed to pay Plaintiff in full for each invoice, Plaintiff commenced two 

separate lawsuits against Defendant in the Circuit Court in and for Bay County, 

Florida based upon Defendant’s failure to pay the separate and distinct invoices for 

Plaintiff’s services rendered at the two Units. See, DE 1-1 and 1-2, generally. 

On July 12, 2019, Defendant filed a “Motion to Consolidate Cases” in the 

state court lawsuit Plaintiff had filed with respect to its invoice for Unit B, seeking 

to have that case consolidated into the lawsuit Plaintiff had filed with respect its 

invoice for Unit C. See, DE 1 – 4 at pp. 138 – 154. In its Motion, Defendant concedes 

that Plaintiff’s claims are separate and distinct as they involve diverse services 

performed at the home and store Units, but argues, nevertheless, that judicial 

economy favors consolidation. Id. Plaintiff did not oppose Defendant’s Motion and, 

on September 10, 2019, Bay County Circuit Court Judge John L. Fishel, II entered 

and Agreed Order consolidating the Unit B lawsuit into the Unit C lawsuit under 

Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.270(a). See, DE 1-3. 

On October 8, 2019, Defendant filed a Notice of Removal, contending that 

federal subject matter jurisdiction exists pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332, the diversity 

jurisdiction statute. See, DE 1, generally. 

On or about October 24, 2019, Plaintiff propounded their First set of 

Interrogatories to Defendant. A true and correct copy of Plaintiff First Set of 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 3 of 103

Interrogatories is attached hereto as “Exhibit B”. Defendant served Responses 

to Plaintiff’s First Set of Interrogatories on December 20, 2019. Defendant’s 

Responses are attached hereto as “Exhibit C”. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(b), Plaintiff made several attempts to resolve 

disputes that have arisen over Defendant’s Responses to Plaintiff’s Interrogatories, 

yet Defendant has refused to provide responses compliant with the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure and this Court’s Local Rules and precedent. For the reasons that 

follow, the Court should compel Defendant to provide better responses to Plaintiff’s 

First Set of Interrogatories. 

II. Legal Standard.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1), “[p]arties may obtain 

discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party’s claim or

defense and proportional to the needs of the case.” The term “relevant” in this

definition is to be “construed broadly to encompass any matter that bears on, or that 

reasonably could lead to other matter that bears on, any issue that is or may be in the

case.” Auto-Owners Ins. Co. v. S.E. Floating Docks, Inc., 231 F.R.D. 426, 430 (M.D. 

Fla. 2005)(quoting Oppenheimer Fund v. Sanders, 437 U.S. 340, 351, 98 S.Ct. 2380, 

57 L.Ed.2d 253 (1978)). Whether a matter is “proportional to the needs of the case” 

is to be determined by considering “the importance of the issues at stake in the

action, the amount in controversy, the parties’ relative access to relevant

information, the parties’ resources, the importance of the discovery in resolving the

issues, and whether the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its

likely benefit. Information within this scope of discovery need not be admissible in 

evidence to be discoverable.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 26.

“The overall purpose of discovery under the Federal Rules is to require the

disclosure of all relevant information so that the ultimate resolution of disputed

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 4 of 103
5 | Page

issues in any civil action may be based on a full and accurate understanding of the 

true facts, and therefore embody a fair and just result.” Grams v. Am. Med. 

Instruments Holdings Long Term Disability Plan, 3:08-CV-1060-J-12MCR, 2009 

WL 2926844, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Sept. 14, 2009)(citing United States v. Proctor & 

Gamble Co., 356 U.S. 677, 682, 78 S.Ct. 983, 2 L.Ed.2d 1077 (1958). “The United 

States Supreme Court has said that [the discovery provisions of the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure] are to be broadly and liberally construed.” Burns v. Thiokol Chem. 

Corp., 483 F.2d 300, 304 (5th Cir. 1973)1

(citing Hickman v. Taylor, 329 U.S. 495, 

505 (1947)). As such, “[n]o longer can the time-honored cry of ‘fishing expedition’ 

serve to preclude a party from inquiring into the facts underlying his opponent’s 

case.” Hickman, 329 U.S. at 507.

The Advisory Committee Notes to Rule 26 make clear that “[t]he purpose of 

discovery is to allow a broad search for facts, the names of witnesses, or any other 

matters which may aid a party in the preparation or presentation of his case.” Adv. 

Com. Notes, 1946 Amendment, Fed. R. Civ. P. 26. This Court’s Discovery Practices 

expressly provide that “[d]iscovery in this district should be practiced with a spirit 

of cooperation and civility.” Middle District Discovery (2001) at 1. 

Motions to compel discovery under Rule 37(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure are committed to the sound discretion of the trial court. See, Commercial 

Union Ins. Co. v. Westrope, 730 F.2d 729, 731 (11th Cir.1984). The trial court’s 

exercise of discretion regarding discovery orders will be sustained absent a finding 

of abuse of that discretion to the prejudice of a party. Id. 

III. Arguments.

a. The Interrogatories at Issue. 

 1 The Eleventh Circuit has adopted as binding precedent all decisions of the former Fifth Circuit decided prior to 

October 1, 1981. Bonner v. City of Prichard, 661 F.2d 1206, 1209 (11th Cir.1981).

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 5 of 103

Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1 (b), the following is a quotation in full of each 

discovery request to which this Motion is addressed followed immediately by 

quotation in full of the objection and grounds therefor as stated by the opposing party 

or the answer or response which is asserted to be insufficient, immediately followed 

by a statement of the reason this Motion should be granted.

i. Plaintiff’s Interrogatory Number 1 through17. 

Defendant has failed to provide verified Interrogatory Responses under oath 

as required by Rule 33(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Thus, the Court 

should overrule and/or waive Defendant’s objections and compel better responses to 

Plaintiff’s First Set of Interrogatories. 

ii. Plaintiff’s Interrogatory Number 4. 

PLAINTIFF’S INTERROGATORY NO. 4: Have you heard or do you know 

about any statement or remark made by or on behalf of any party to this 

lawsuit, other than yourself, or by Assignor, concerning any issue in this

lawsuit? If so, state the name and address of each person who made the

statement or statements, the name and address of each person who heard it, 

and the date, time, place, and substance of each statement.

DEFENDANT’S ANSWER: Westchester objects to interrogatory number 4 

because it is overly broad and vague. Without waiving these objections, and 

specifically subject to the objections, there are no recorded statements, 

transcripts or other recordings of the substance of statements regarding this 

lawsuit. Westchester believes that the following individuals may have 

knowledge of the facts at issue in this matter:

Initially, Defendant’s objections are impermissibly boilerplate in nature. See, 

e.g., Mendez v. Land Inv’rs, Corp., 2:12-CV-158-FTM-29, 2012 WL 6012906, at *1 

(M.D. Fla. Dec. 3, 2012)(“Parties may not assert conclusory, boilerplate objections 

that fail to explain the precise grounds that make the request objectionable.”) See, 

e.g., Polycarpe v. Seterus, Inc., 616CV1606ORL37TBS, 2017 WL 2257571, at *3 

(M.D. Fla. May 23, 2017)(“Defendant’s objections based upon Plaintiff’s failure to 

define these [ordinary] words appears to be nothing more than a disingenuous 

attempt to game the discovery.”), Martin v. Zale Delaware, Inc., 8:08-CV-47-T27EAJ, 2008 WL 5255555, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Dec. 15, 2008), Fegadel v. Ocwen Loan 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 7 of 103
8 | Page

Servicing, LLC, 8:15-CV-2228-T-17JSS, 2016 WL 6893971, at *4 (M.D. Fla. Nov. 

23, 2016). Additionally, the information requested falls squarely within the scope of 

permissible discovery. See, e.g., Welch v. GEICO Gen. Ins. Co., 8:16-CV-1460-T36TBM, 2017 WL 3701241, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 27, 2017). 

Moreover, it is well settled that in the Eleventh Circuit that “whenever an 

answer accompanies an objection, the objection is deemed waived and the answer, 

if responsive, stands.” Tardif v. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, NO. 

2:09–cv–537–FtM–29SPC, 2011 WL 1627165, at *2 (M.D.Fla. Apr.29, 2011); see 

also Pepperwood of Naples Condo. Ass'n v. Nationwide Mut. Fire Ins. Co., No. 

2:10–cv–753–FtM–36SPC, 2011 WL 4382104, at *4–5 (M.D.Fla. Sept. 20, 2011); 

Mann v. Island Resorts Dev., Inc., No. 3:08cv297/RS/EMT, 2009 WL 6409113, at 

*3 (N.D.Fla. Feb.21, 2009). As this Court has noted:

[A]nswering subject to an objection lacks any rational basis. 

There is either a sustainable objection to a question or request or 

there is not. Other courts have remarked that all a mixed response 

really says is the counsel does not know for sure whether the 

objection is sustainable, that it probably is not, but thinks it is 

wise to cover all bets anyway[.]

Chemoil Corp. v. MSA V, 2:12-CV-472-FTM-99, 2013 WL 944949, at *2 (M.D. Fla. 

Mar. 12, 2013), aff’d, 2:12-CV-472-FTM-38, 2013 WL 3070853 (M.D. Fla. June 

17, 2013). 

In the instant case, the interrogatory response provided by Defendant has been 

provided “subject to and without waiving” a preceding objection. Pursuant to the 

authorities cited supra, Defendant has waived these objections. However, in light of 

Defendant’s erroneous assertion that its objections have not been waived and 

Defendant’s qualifying language stating that its response is being provided “subject 

to” the foregoing objections, it is unclear whether Defendant is withholding 

information responsive to Plaintiff’s requests. As was explained in by the Court in 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 8 of 103
9 | Page

Consumer Elecs. Ass'n v. Compras and Buys Mag., Inc., this is an inevitable 

consequence of such improper discovery tactics:

Such an objection and answer preserves nothing and 

serves only to waste the time and resources of both the 

Parties and the Court. Further, such practice leaves the 

requesting Party uncertain as to whether the question has 

actually been fully answered or whether only a portion of 

the question has been answered.

Id., 08-21085-CIV, 2008 WL 4327253, at *3 (S.D. Fla. Sept. 18, 2008). 

Here, it remains unclear whether Defendant has responded in full to the

foregoing interrogatory or whether Defendant is withholding information based 

upon its improper objections. As such, Plaintiff seeks an order from this Court 

deeming Defendant’s objections waived and compelling Defendant to respond to 

this interrogatory without objection.

Additionally, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33(d) permits the production 

of documents in lieu of a written response to an interrogatory in the event that “the 

answer to an interrogatory may be determined by examining, auditing, compiling, 

abstracting, or summarizing a party’s business records (including electronically 

stored information), and if the burden of deriving or ascertaining the answer will be 

substantially the same for either party”. “A party who seeks to rely upon the Rule 

must not only certify that the answer may be found in the records referenced by it, 

but also ‘must specify where in the records the answers [can] be found.’” 

Pepperwood of Naples Condo. Ass’n, Inc., 2011 WL 4382104 at *6. Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 37(a)(4) provides that “an evasive or incomplete disclosure, answer, 

or response must be treated as a failure to disclose, answer, or respond.” 

Here, Defendant refers generally to numerous persons, but fails to specify 

where in the records the information responsive to Plaintiff’s request is located. As 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 9 of 103
10 | Page

such, Defendant’s response is improper, and the Court should deem the Defendant’s 

objections waived and require Defendant to provide a compliant response to 

Plaintiff’s request.2

iii. Plaintiff’s Interrogatory Number 16. 

PLAINTIFF’S INTERROGATORY NO. 16: Identify (defined above) any 

persons or companies not employed directly by your company who provided 

you with any services, analyses, outside adjusting, or otherwise rendered 

opinions to you in the adjusting of the Plaintiff’s claim, please identify:

a. The name of the individual who hired the third party on behalf of your 

company.

b. The date and nature of the services provided by the third party.

c. Each case in which the third party has been retained by you for any 

purpose during the past three years.

d. The amount of money that the third party has been paid by you during 

the past three years.

e. Please state the taxpayer identification numbers for both you and the 

third party.

DEFENDANT’S ANSWER: Westchester objects to subparts (c), (d) and (e) of 

interrogatory number 16 because plaintiff seeks to discover information that is 

not relevant to the subject matter of this action, is outside the scope of the action 

and has no relation to the litigation. A party wishing to utilize the discovery 

rules must show that the information desired to be disclosed is relevant to the 

proceeding. Further, Westchester objects to subparts (c), (d) and (e) of 

 2 The documents produced by Defendant have been designated as “confidential”, and as such Plaintiff has not filed 

the documents with the Court in support of this Motion. As Plaintiff is confident that the Court will agree these 

documents are anything but self-explanatory, Plaintiff stands ready to submit the documents to the Court for an in 

camera review. 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 10 of 103
11 | Page

interrogatory number 16 because it seeks information that constitutes or 

contains trade secrets, competitively sensitive information, or material that is 

confidential, proprietary, or that is properly subject to a protective order. 

Subject to these objections, and without waiving these objections, Westchester 

responds to subparts (a) and (b) of interrogatory 16 as follows: 

Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc. was retained on October 31, 2018, 

to investigate the insured’s claim by Cynthia Vann. Loss Management 

Solutions was retained by Cynthia Vann in March 2019 to review the invoices 

submitted by plaintiff and to make inquires to plaintiff regarding the invoices.

Here, again, Defendant has improperly asserted objections followed by and 

answer and failed to identify where in the documents referenced the information 

sought through this interrogatory can be found. Accordingly, Defendant’s response 

is improper, and the Court should deem the Defendant’s objections waived and 

require Defendant to provide a compliant response to Plaintiff’s request. 

Finally, Defendant has improperly asserted privilege objections, yet 

provided no privilege log. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26,

Defendant must produce a privilege log “describ[ing] the nature of the documents, 

communications, or tangible things not produced or disclosed—and do so in a 

manner that, without revealing information itself privileged or protected, will enable 

other parties to assess the claim”. See, e.g., Fegadel v. Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, 

8:15-CV-2228-T-17JSS, 2016 WL 6893971, at *4 (M.D. Fla. Nov. 23, 

2016)(“Defendant shall serve a privilege log identifying any discovery it withholds 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 11 of 103
12 | Page

on the basis of a privilege.”). Accordingly, the Court should overrule the 

Defendant’s objections to this interrogatory and require Defendant to provide a 

complete response. 

iv. Plaintiff’s Interrogatory Number 17. 

PLAINTIFF’S INTERRROGATORY NO. 17: On what date did you anticipate 

litigation in the underlying insurance claim?

DEFENDANT’S ANSWER: Westchester objects to interrogatory number 17 

because it requests a legal conclusion.

Plaintiff’s question does not call for a legal conclusion, rather it call for a 

factual conclusion well within the Defendant’s personal knowledge. The Defendant 

is not only aware of the date the Insured filed the insurance claim, but is also well 

aware of the subsequent steps it took in acknowledgement of, and in response to, the 

Insured’s claim. Thus, Defendant’s objection is disingenuous and the Court should 

compel defendant to respond to this interrogatory without objection.

b. Plaintiff’s Request Attorney’s Fees. 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(a)(5) provides that in the event a Motion 

to Compel Discovery is granted “the court must, after giving an opportunity to be 

heard, require the party or deponent whose conduct necessitated the motion, the 

party or attorney advising that conduct, or both to pay the movant's reasonable 

expenses incurred in making the motion, including attorney's fees.” The Court “must 

not order this payment if: (i) the movant filed the motion before attempting in good 

faith to obtain the disclosure or discovery without court action; (ii) the opposing 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 12 of 103
13 | Page

party's nondisclosure, response, or objection was substantially justified; or (iii) other 

circumstances make an award of expenses unjust.” Id. 

In the instant case, the circumstances support the imposition of sanctions 

against Defendant in the form of attorney’s fees incurred in bringing the instant 

Motion before the Court. Initially, Defendant’s discovery tactics fly in the face of a 

plethora of authority from both the Eleventh Circuit and the Northern District of 

Florida, much of which was supplied to Defendant prior to bringing the instant 

Motion. Defendant was given ample opportunity to review the case law and provide 

proper responses yet choose not to do so. Moreover, the parties spent considerable 

time negotiating and obtaining a protective order, yet Defendant continues to assert 

confidentiality objections. See, e.g., Knights Armament Co. v. Optical Sys. Tech., 

Inc., 254 F.R.D. 470, 471 (M.D. Fla. 2008)(awarding attorney’s fees incurred in 

bringing motion to compel where “the parties had negotiated a detailed 

confidentiality agreement designed to safeguard sensitive information”). Finally, the 

disingenuous nature of many of Defendant’s responses is indicative of deliberate 

attempts to frustrate the discovery process. Accordingly, sanctions are appropriate. 

IV. Conclusion.

Pursuant to the foregoing authorities, and in light of the claims and defenses at 

issue, the Court should grant Plaintiff’s Motion to Overrule Objections and to 

Compel Better Responses to Plaintiff’s First Set of Interrogatories. 

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests an Order from this Honorable 

Court: (i) Granting Plaintiff’s First Motion to Overrule Objections and to Compel 

Better Responses to Plaintiff’s First Set of Interrogatories; (ii) Deeming Defendant’s 

Objections to Interrogatory Numbers 4 and 16(c)(d)(e) – 17 Waived and/or 

Overruled; (iii) Requiring Defendant to Provide Complete Responses to 

Interrogatory Numbers 4 and 16(c)(d)(e) – 17, Without Objection, and; (iv) 

Awarding Plaintiff’s Attorney’s Fees Incurred in Obtaining the Foregoing Relief.

COMMERCIAL INLAND MARINE COVERAGE PART

The following definition is added to this policy; supersedes any other definition, express or implied, of the term “Loss

Occurrence” in any term, provision or endorsement to this policy; and applies not withstanding such term, provision or

endorsement:

1. ”Loss Occurrence” means the sum of all individual losses arising out of and directly caused by any one disaster,

accident or loss or series of disasters, accidents or losses arising out of one event which occurs anywhere within

the Coverage Territory. The duration and extent of any one Loss Occurrence will be limited to all individual losses

sustained by the Insured occurring during any period of 72 consecutive hours arising out of and directly caused by

the same event, except:

A. As regards Windstorm (including Tier 1 Counties), Flood, Hail or Tornado, including ensuing collapse,

Flood and Water Damage: all individual losses sustained by the Insured occurring during any period of 96

consecutive hours arising out of and directly caused by the same event.

B. As regards the perils of riot, strike or civil commotion, vandalism and malicious mischief, including losses

from all other perils covered hereunder following as a result of the aforesaid perils: all losses or series of

losses occurring during any period of 72 consecutive hours arising out of and directly caused by the same

event. The maximum duration of 72 consecutive hours may be extended in respect of individual losses

which occur beyond such 72 consecutive hours during the continued occupation of the Insured’s

premises by strikers, provided such occupation commenced during the aforesaid period.

C. As regards the peril of Earthquake, including losses from all other perils covered hereunder following as a

result of Earthquake: only those individual losses covered hereunder, which commence during the period

of 168 consecutive hours, may be included in the Loss Occurrence.

D. As regards the peril of freeze: only those individual losses directly caused by collapse, breakage of glass,

water and/or liquid damage due to burst pipes tanks or pressure vessels; damage to machinery or

equipment, stock and/or work in progress due to freeze; and/or individual losses arising directly out of the

lack of supply of power, current, coolant and/or fuel due to frozen pipes and/or frozen feed lines may be

included in the Loss Occurrence.

Except for those Loss Occurrences referred to in sub-paragraphs A. and B. above, the Insured may chose the

date and time when such period of consecutive hours commences, provided that it is not earlier than the date and

time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the Insured arising out of that disaster,

accident or loss and provided that only one such period of consecutive hours will apply with respect to one event.

However, as respects those Loss Occurrences referred to in sub-paragraphs A. and B. above, if the disaster,

accident or loss occasioned by the event is of greater duration than the specified period of consecutive hours,

then the Insured may divide that disaster, accident or loss into two or more Loss Occurrences, provided no two

periods overlap and no individual loss is included in more than one such period and provided that no period

commences earlier than the date and time of the occurrence of the first recorded individual loss sustained by the

Insured arising from that disaster, accident or loss.

 However, we shall not be liable hereunder for any loss or damage:

a) Occurring before this policy becomes effective; or

b) Arising from an “occurrence” which is in progress at the time this policy becomes effective, even if such loss

or damage occurs after this policy becomes effective; or

c) Occurring after the expiration of this policy, except loss or damage arising from an “occurrence” in progress

at the time this policy expires.

This provision in no way alters any Policy Limit of Liability or Sub-limit of Liability.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY CONDITIONS

This Coverage Part is subject to the following conditions, the Common Policy Conditions and applicable Loss

Conditions and Additional Conditions in Commercial Property Coverage Forms.

A. CONCEALMENT, MISREPRESENTATION OR

FRAUD

This Coverage Part is void in any case of fraud by you

as it relates to this Coverage Part at any time. It is

also void if you or any other insured, at any time,

intentionally conceal or misrepresent a mate-rial fact

concerning:

1. This Coverage Part;

2. The Covered Property;

3. Your interest in the Covered Property; or

4. A claim under this Coverage Part.

B. CONTROL OF PROPERTY

Any act or neglect of any person other than you

beyond your direction or control will not affect this

insurance.

The breach of any condition of this Coverage Part at

any one or more locations will not affect cover-age at

any location where, at the time of loss or damage, the

breach of condition does not exist.

C. INSURANCE UNDER TWO OR MORE

COVERAGES

If two or more of this policy's coverages apply to the

same loss or damage, we will not pay more than the

actual amount of the loss or damage.

D. LEGAL ACTION AGAINST US

No one may bring a legal action against us under this

Coverage Part unless:

1. There has been full compliance with all of the

terms of this Coverage Part; and

2. The action is brought within 2 years after the date

on which the direct physical loss or dam-age

occurred.

E. LIBERALIZATION

If we adopt any revision that would broaden the

coverage under this Coverage Part without 

additional premium within 45 days prior to or during

the policy period, the broadened coverage will

immediately apply to this Coverage Part.

F. NO BENEFIT TO BAILEE

No person or organization, other than you, having

custody of Covered Property will benefit from this

insurance.

G. OTHER INSURANCE

1. You may have other insurance subject to the

same plan, terms, conditions and provisions as

the insurance under this Coverage Part. If you do,

we will pay our share of the covered loss or

damage. Our share is the proportion that the

applicable Limit of Insurance under this Coverage Part bears to the Limits of Insurance of all

insurance covering on the same basis.

2. If there is other insurance covering the same loss

or damage, other than that described in 1. above,

we will pay only for the amount of covered loss

or damage in excess of the amount due from that

other insurance, whether you can collect on it or

not. But we will not pay more than the applicable

Limit of Insurance.

H. POLICY PERIOD, COVERAGE TERRITORY

Under this Coverage Part:

1. We cover loss or damage commencing:

a. During the policy period shown in the

Declarations; and

 I. TRANSFER OF RIGHTS OF RECOVERY AGAINST

OTHERS TO US

If any person or organization to or for whom we make

payment under this Coverage Part has rights to

recover damages from another, those rights are

transferred to us to the extent of our payment. That

person or organization must do everything 

necessary to secure our rights and must do nothing

after loss to impair them. But you may waive your

rights against another party in writing:

 1. Prior to a loss to your Covered Property or

Covered Income.

2. After a loss to your Covered Property or 

Covered Income only if, at time of loss, that party

is one of the following:

a. Someone insured by this insurance;

b. A business firm:

(1) Owned or controlled by you; or

(2) That owns or controls you; or

c. Your tenant.

This will not restrict your insurance.

(Information required to complete this Schedule, if not shown above, will be shown in the Declarations.)

The following applies with respect to loss or damage by wind and/or hail to a building or structure identified in the

Schedule:

We will not pay for cosmetic damage to roof surfacing caused by wind and/or hail. For the purpose of this endorsement,

cosmetic damage means that the wind and/or hail caused marring, pitting or other superficial damage that altered the

appearance of the roof surfacing, but such damage does not prevent the roof from continuing to function as a barrier to

entrance of the elements to the same extent as it did before the cosmetic damage occurred.

For the purpose of this endorsement, roof surfacing refers to the shingles, tiles, cladding, metal or synthetic sheeting or

similar materials covering the roof and includes all materials used in securing the roof surface and all materials applied to

or under the roof surface for moisture protection, as well as roof flashing.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

 a. Debris Removal 

 (1) Subject to Paragraphs (2), (3) and (4),

we will pay your expense to remove 

debris of Covered Property and other 

debris that is on the described premises, 

when such debris is caused by or 

results from a Covered Cause of Loss 

that occurs during the policy period. The 

expenses will be paid only if they are 

reported to us in writing within 180 days 

of the date of direct physical loss or 

damage. 

 (2) Debris Removal does not apply to costs 

to: 

 (a) Remove debris of property of yours 

that is not insured under this policy, 

or property in your possession that is 

not Covered Property; 

(b) Remove debris of property owned by 

or leased to the landlord of the 

building where your described 

premises are located, unless you 

have a contractual responsibility to 

insure such property and it is insured 

under this policy; 

(c) Remove any property that is 

Property Not Covered, including 

property addressed under the 

Outdoor Property Coverage 

Extension;

that would not be Covered Property

(e) Remove deposits of mud or earth 

from the grounds of the described 

premises; 

 (f) Extract "pollutants" from land or 

water; or 

 (g) Remove, restore or replace polluted 

land or water. 

 (3) Subject to the exceptions in Paragraph

(4), the following provisions apply:

 (a) The most we will pay for the total of 

direct physical loss or damage plus 

debris removal expense is the Limit 

of Insurance applicable to the 

Covered Property that has sustained 

loss or damage. 

(b) Subject to (a) above, the amount we 

will pay for debris removal expense 

is limited to 25% of the sum of the 

deductible plus the amount that we 

pay for direct physical loss or 

damage to the Covered Property that 

has sustained loss or damage. 

However, if no Covered Property has 

sustained direct physical loss or 

damage, the most we will pay for 

removal of debris of other property (if 

such removal is covered under this 

Additional Coverage) is $5,000 at 

each location. 

 (4) We will pay up to an additional $25,000 

for debris removal expense, for each 

location, in any one occurrence of 

physical loss or damage to Covered 

Property, if one or both of the following 

circumstances apply: 

 (a) The total of the actual debris removal 

expense plus the amount we pay for 

direct physical loss or damage 

exceeds the Limit of Insurance on 

the Covered Property that has 

sustained loss or damage. 

(b) The actual debris removal expense 

exceeds 25% of the sum of the 

deductible plus the amount that we 

pay for direct physical loss or 

damage to the Covered Property that 

has sustained loss or damage.

Page 4 of 16 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 CP 00 10 10 12

Therefore, if (4)(a) and/or (4)(b) applies, 

our total payment for direct physical loss 

or damage and debris removal expense 

may reach but will never exceed the 

Limit of Insurance on the Covered 

Property that has sustained loss or 

damage, plus $25,000.

there is no Coinsurance penalty.

Debris Removal Expense: $ 10,000

Debris Removal Expense Payable: $ 10,000

($10,000 is 20% of $50,000.) 

The debris removal expense is less than 25% of the 

sum of the loss payable plus the deductible. The sum 

of the loss payable and the debris removal expense 

($49,500 + $10,000 = $59,500) is less than the Limit 

of Insurance. Therefore, the full amount of debris 

removal expense is payable in accordance with the 

terms of Paragraph (3). 

Example 2 

Limit of Insurance: $ 90,000

Amount of Deductible: $ 500

Amount of Loss: $ 80,000

Amount of Loss Payable: $ 79,500

 ($80,000 – $500)

Debris Removal Expense: $ 40,000

Debris Removal Expense Payable 

 Basic Amount: $ 10,500

Additional Amount: $ 25,000

The basic amount payable for debris removal 

expense under the terms of Paragraph (3) is 

calculated as follows: $80,000 ($79,500 + $500) x .25 

= $20,000, capped at $10,500. The cap applies 

because the sum of the loss payable ($79,500) and 

the basic amount payable for debris removal expense 

($10,500) cannot exceed the Limit of Insurance 

($90,000). 

The additional amount payable for debris removal 

expense is provided in accordance with the terms of 

Paragraph (4), because the debris removal expense 

($40,000) exceeds 25% of the loss payable plus the 

deductible ($40,000 is 50% of $80,000), and because 

the sum of the loss payable and debris removal 

expense ($79,500 + $40,000 = $119,500) would 

exceed the Limit of Insurance ($90,000). The 

additional amount of covered debris removal expense 

is $25,000, the maximum payable under Paragraph 

(4). Thus, the total payable for debris removal 

expense in this example is $35,500; $4,500 of the 

debris removal expense is not covered. 

 b. Preservation Of Property 

If it is necessary to move Covered Property 

from the described premises to preserve it 

from loss or damage by a Covered Cause 

of Loss, we will pay for any direct physical 

loss or damage to that property: 

 (1) While it is being moved or while 

temporarily stored at another location; 

and 

 (2) Only if the loss or damage occurs within 

30 days after the property is first moved. 

 c. Fire Department Service Charge 

When the fire department is called to save 

or protect Covered Property from a 

Covered Cause of Loss, we will pay up to 

$1,000 for service at each premises 

described in the Declarations, unless a 

higher limit is shown in the Declarations. 

Such limit is the most we will pay 

regardless of the number of responding fire 

departments or fire units, and regardless of 

the number or type of services performed. 

This Additional Coverage applies to your 

liability for fire department service charges: 

 (1) Assumed by contract or agreement prior 

to loss; or 

 (2) Required by local ordinance. 

No Deductible applies to this Additional 

Coverage.

 d. Pollutant Clean-up And Removal 

We will pay your expense to extract 

"pollutants" from land or water at the 

described premises if the discharge, 

dispersal, seepage, migration, release or 

escape of the "pollutants" is caused by or 

results from a Covered Cause of Loss that 

occurs during the policy period. The 

expenses will be paid only if they are 

reported to us in writing within 180 days of 

the date on which the Covered Cause of 

Loss occurs. 

This Additional Coverage does not apply to 

costs to test for, monitor or assess the 

existence, concentration or effects of 

"pollutants". But we will pay for testing 

which is performed in the course of 

extracting the "pollutants" from the land or 

water. 

The most we will pay under this Additional 

Coverage for each described premises is 

$10,000 for the sum of all covered 

expenses arising out of Covered Causes of 

Loss occurring during each separate 12-

month period of this policy. 

 e. Increased Cost Of Construction 

 (1) This Additional Coverage applies only to 

buildings to which the Replacement 

Cost Optional Coverage applies. 

 (2) In the event of damage by a Covered 

Cause of Loss to a building that is 

Covered Property, we will pay the 

increased costs incurred to comply with 

the minimum standards of an ordinance 

or law in the course of repair, rebuilding 

or replacement of damaged parts of that 

property, subject to the limitations stated 

in e.(3) through e.(9) of this Additional 

Coverage. 

 (3) The ordinance or law referred to in e.(2)

of this Additional Coverage is an 

ordinance or law that regulates the 

construction or repair of buildings or 

establishes zoning or land use 

requirements at the described premises 

and is in force at the time of loss. 

 (4) Under this Additional Coverage, we will 

not pay any costs due to an ordinance 

or law that: 

 (a) You were required to comply with 

before the loss, even when the 

building was undamaged; and 

 (b) You failed to comply with. 

 (5) Under this Additional Coverage, we will 

not pay for: 

 (a) The enforcement of or compliance 

with any ordinance or law which 

requires demolition, repair, 

replacement, reconstruction, 

remodeling or remediation of 

property due to contamination by 

"pollutants" or due to the presence, 

growth, proliferation, spread or any 

activity of "fungus", wet or dry rot or 

bacteria; or 

 (b) Any costs associated with the 

enforcement of or compliance with 

an ordinance or law which requires 

any insured or others to test for, 

monitor, clean up, remove, contain, 

treat, detoxify or neutralize, or in any 

way respond to, or assess the 

effects of "pollutants", "fungus", wet 

or dry rot or bacteria. 

 (6) The most we will pay under this 

Additional Coverage, for each described 

building insured under this Coverage 

Form, is $10,000 or 5% of the Limit of 

Insurance applicable to that building, 

whichever is less. If a damaged building 

is covered under a blanket Limit of 

Insurance which applies to more than 

one building or item of property, then the 

most we will pay under this Additional 

Coverage, for that damaged building, is 

the lesser of $10,000 or 5% times the 

value of the damaged building as of the 

time of loss times the applicable 

Coinsurance percentage. 

The amount payable under this 

Additional Coverage is additional 

insurance. 

 (7) With respect to this Additional 

Coverage: 

 (a) We will not pay for the Increased 

Cost of Construction: 

 (i) Until the property is actually 

repaired or replaced at the same 

or another premises; and 

 (ii) Unless the repair or replacement 

is made as soon as reasonably 

possible after the loss or 

damage, not to exceed two 

years. We may extend this period 

in writing during the two years.

Page 6 of 16 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 CP 00 10 10 12

 (b) If the building is repaired or replaced 

at the same premises, or if you elect 

to rebuild at another premises, the 

most we will pay for the Increased 

Cost of Construction, subject to the 

provisions of e.(6) of this Additional 

Coverage, is the increased cost of 

construction at the same premises. 

(c) If the ordinance or law requires 

relocation to another premises, the 

most we will pay for the Increased 

Cost of Construction, subject to the 

provisions of e.(6) of this Additional 

Coverage, is the increased cost of 

construction at the new premises. 

 (8) This Additional Coverage is not subject 

to the terms of the Ordinance Or Law 

Exclusion to the extent that such 

Exclusion would conflict with the 

provisions of this Additional Coverage. 

 (9) The costs addressed in the Loss 

Payment and Valuation Conditions and 

the Replacement Cost Optional 

Coverage, in this Coverage Form, do 

not include the increased cost 

attributable to enforcement of or 

compliance with an ordinance or law. 

The amount payable under this 

Additional Coverage, as stated in e.(6) 

of this Additional Coverage, is not 

subject to such limitation.

 f. Electronic Data 

 (1) Under this Additional Coverage, 

electronic data has the meaning 

described under Property Not Covered, 

Electronic Data. This Additional 

Coverage does not apply to your "stock" 

of prepackaged software, or to 

electronic data which is integrated in 

and operates or controls the building's 

elevator, lighting, heating, ventilation, air 

conditioning or security system.

(2) Subject to the provisions of this 

Additional Coverage, we will pay for the 

cost to replace or restore electronic data 

which has been destroyed or corrupted 

by a Covered Cause of Loss. To the 

extent that electronic data is not 

replaced or restored, the loss will be 

valued at the cost of replacement of the 

media on which the electronic data was 

stored, with blank media of substantially 

identical type. 

 (3) The Covered Causes of Loss applicable 

to Your Business Personal Property 

apply to this Additional Coverage, 

Electronic Data, subject to the following: 

(a) If the Causes Of Loss – Special 

Form applies, coverage under this 

Additional Coverage, Electronic 

Data, is limited to the "specified 

causes of loss" as defined in that 

form and Collapse as set forth in that 

form. 

(b) If the Causes Of Loss – Broad Form 

applies, coverage under this 

Additional Coverage, Electronic 

Data, includes Collapse as set forth 

in that form. 

 (c) If the Causes Of Loss form is 

endorsed to add a Covered Cause of 

Loss, the additional Covered Cause 

of Loss does not apply to the 

coverage provided under this 

Additional Coverage, Electronic 

Data. 

 (d) The Covered Causes of Loss include 

a virus, harmful code or similar 

instruction introduced into or enacted 

on a computer system (including 

electronic data) or a network to 

which it is connected, designed to 

damage or destroy any part of the 

system or disrupt its normal 

operation. But there is no coverage 

for loss or damage caused by or 

resulting from manipulation of a 

computer system (including 

electronic data) by any employee, 

including a temporary or leased 

employee, or by an entity retained by 

you or for you to inspect, design, 

install, modify, maintain, repair or 

replace that system.

CP 00 10 10 12 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 Page 7 of 16

 (4) The most we will pay under this 

Additional Coverage, Electronic Data, is 

$2,500 (unless a higher limit is shown in 

the Declarations) for all loss or damage 

sustained in any one policy year, 

regardless of the number of occurrences 

of loss or damage or the number of 

premises, locations or computer 

systems involved. If loss payment on the 

first occurrence does not exhaust this 

amount, then the balance is available for 

subsequent loss or damage sustained in 

but not after that policy year. With 

respect to an occurrence which begins 

in one policy year and continues or 

results in additional loss or damage in a 

subsequent policy year(s), all loss or 

damage is deemed to be sustained in 

the policy year in which the occurrence 

began. 

 5. Coverage Extensions 

Except as otherwise provided, the following 

Extensions apply to property located in or on 

the building described in the Declarations or in 

the open (or in a vehicle) within 100 feet of the

insurance provided by this Coverage Part as 

follows: 

 a. Newly Acquired Or Constructed 

Property 

 (1) Buildings 

If this policy covers Building, you may

you acquire other than at fairs, 

trade shows or exhibitions; or 

 (ii) Business personal property, 

including such property that you 

newly acquire, located at your 

newly constructed or acquired

 b. Personal Effects And Property Of Others 

You may extend the insurance that applies 

to Your Business Personal Property to 

apply to: 

 (1) Personal effects owned by you, your 

officers, your partners or members, your 

managers or your employees. This 

Extension does not apply to loss or 

damage by theft. 

 (2) Personal property of others in your care, 

custody or control. 

The most we will pay for loss or damage 

under this Extension is $2,500 at each

of or damage to personal property of others 

will only be for the account of the owner of

Than Electronic Data) 

 (1) You may extend the insurance that 

applies to Your Business Personal 

Property to apply to the cost to replace 

or restore the lost information on 

valuable papers and records for which 

duplicates do not exist. But this 

Extension does not apply to valuable 

papers and records which exist as 

electronic data. Electronic data has the 

meaning described under Property Not 

Covered, Electronic Data.

applies, coverage under this Extension 

is limited to the "specified causes of 

loss" as defined in that form and

includes Collapse as set forth in that 

form.

(4) Under this Extension, the most we will 

pay to replace or restore the lost 

information is $2,500 at each described 

premises, unless a higher limit is shown 

in the Declarations. Such amount is 

additional insurance. We will also pay 

for the cost of blank material for 

reproducing the records (whether or not 

duplicates exist) and (when there is a 

duplicate) for the cost of labor to 

transcribe or copy the records. The 

costs of blank material and labor are 

subject to the applicable Limit of 

Insurance on Your Business Personal 

Property and, therefore, coverage of 

such costs is not additional insurance. 

 d. Property Off-premises 

 (1) You may extend the insurance provided 

by this Coverage Form to apply to your 

Covered Property while it is away from 

the described premises, if it is: 

 (a) Temporarily at a location you do not 

own, lease or operate; 

(b) In storage at a location you lease, 

provided the lease was executed 

after the beginning of the current 

policy term; or 

(c) At any fair, trade show or exhibition. 

 (2) This Extension does not apply to 

property:

 (a) In or on a vehicle; or

control at a fair, trade show or

the following causes of loss if they are 

Covered Causes of Loss: 

 (1) Fire; 

 (2) Lightning; 

 (3) Explosion; 

 (4) Riot or Civil Commotion; or

under this Extension is $1,000, but not 

more than $250 for any one tree, shrub or 

plant. These limits apply to any one 

occurrence, regardless of the types or 

number of items lost or damaged in that 

occurrence. 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 46 of 103 Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 9-1 Filed 11/06/19 Page 31 of 66
CP 00 10 10 12 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 Page 9 of 16

Subject to all aforementioned terms and 

limitations of coverage, this Coverage 

Extension includes the expense of 

removing from the described premises the 

debris of trees, shrubs and plants which are 

the property of others, except in the 

situation in which you are a tenant and such 

property is owned by the landlord of the 

described premises. 

 f. Non-owned Detached Trailers 

 (1) You may extend the insurance that 

applies to Your Business Personal 

Property to apply to loss or damage to 

trailers that you do not own, provided 

that: 

 (a) The trailer is used in your business; 

 (b) The trailer is in your care, custody or 

control at the premises described in 

the Declarations; and 

 (c) You have a contractual responsibility 

to pay for loss or damage to the 

trailer. 

 (2) We will not pay for any loss or damage 

that occurs: 

 (a) While the trailer is attached to any 

motor vehicle or motorized 

conveyance, whether or not the 

motor vehicle or motorized 

conveyance is in motion; 

 (b) During hitching or unhitching 

operations, or when a trailer 

becomes accidentally unhitched from 

a motor vehicle or motorized 

conveyance. 

 (3) The most we will pay for loss or damage 

under this Extension is $5,000, unless a 

higher limit is shown in the Declarations.

 (4) This insurance is excess over the 

amount due (whether you can collect on 

it or not) from any other insurance 

covering such property. 

 g. Business Personal Property Temporarily 

In Portable Storage Units 

 (1) You may extend the insurance that 

applies to Your Business Personal 

Property to apply to such property while 

temporarily stored in a portable storage 

unit (including a detached trailer) 

located within 100 feet of the building or 

structure described in the Declarations 

or within 100 feet of the premises 

described in the Declarations, whichever 

distance is greater. 

(2) If the applicable Covered Causes of 

Loss form or endorsement contains a 

limitation or exclusion concerning loss or 

damage from sand, dust, sleet, snow, 

ice or rain to property in a structure, 

such limitation or exclusion also applies 

to property in a portable storage unit. 

(3) Coverage under this Extension: 

(a) Will end 90 days after the business 

personal property has been placed in 

the storage unit; 

(b) Does not apply if the storage unit 

itself has been in use at the 

described premises for more than 90 

consecutive days, even if the 

business personal property has been 

stored there for 90 or fewer days as 

of the time of loss or damage. 

(4) Under this Extension, the most we will 

pay for the total of all loss or damage to 

business personal property is $10,000 

(unless a higher limit is indicated in the 

Declarations for such Extension) 

regardless of the number of storage 

units. Such limit is part of, not in addition 

to, the applicable Limit of Insurance on 

Your Business Personal Property. 

Therefore, payment under this 

Extension will not increase the 

applicable Limit of Insurance on Your 

Business Personal Property. 

(5) This Extension does not apply to loss or 

damage otherwise covered under this 

Coverage Form or any endorsement to 

this Coverage Form or policy, and does 

not apply to loss or damage to the 

storage unit itself.

Each of these Extensions is additional 

insurance unless otherwise indicated. The 

Additional Condition, Coinsurance, does not 

apply to these Extensions. 

B. Exclusions And Limitations 

See applicable Causes Of Loss form as shown in 

the Declarations. 

C. Limits Of Insurance 

The most we will pay for loss or damage in any 

one occurrence is the applicable Limit Of 

Insurance shown in the Declarations. 

The most we will pay for loss or damage to 

outdoor signs, whether or not the sign is attached 

to a building, is $2,500 per sign in any one 

occurrence. 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 47 of 103 Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 9-1 Filed 11/06/19 Page 32 of 66
Page 10 of 16 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 CP 00 10 10 12

The amounts of insurance stated in the following 

Additional Coverages apply in accordance with the 

terms of such coverages and are separate from 

the Limit(s) Of Insurance shown in the 

Declarations for any other coverage: 

1. Fire Department Service Charge; 

2. Pollutant Clean-up And Removal; 

3. Increased Cost Of Construction; and 

4. Electronic Data. 

Payments under the Preservation Of Property 

Additional Coverage will not increase the 

applicable Limit of Insurance. 

D. Deductible 

In any one occurrence of loss or damage 

(hereinafter referred to as loss), we will first reduce 

the amount of loss if required by the Coinsurance 

Condition or the Agreed Value Optional Coverage. 

If the adjusted amount of loss is less than or equal 

to the Deductible, we will not pay for that loss. If 

the adjusted amount of loss exceeds the 

Deductible, we will then subtract the Deductible 

from the adjusted amount of loss and will pay the 

resulting amount or the Limit of Insurance, 

whichever is less. 

When the occurrence involves loss to more than 

one item of Covered Property and separate Limits 

of Insurance apply, the losses will not be 

combined in determining application of the 

Deductible. But the Deductible will be applied only 

once per occurrence. 

Example 1 

(This example assumes there is no Coinsurance 

penalty.) 

Deductible: $ 250

Limit of Insurance – Building 1: $ 60,000

Limit of Insurance – Building 2: $ 80,000

Loss to Building 1: $ 60,100

Loss to Building 2: $ 90,000

The amount of loss to Building 1 ($60,100) is less 

than the sum ($60,250) of the Limit of Insurance 

applicable to Building 1 plus the Deductible. 

The Deductible will be subtracted from the amount of 

loss in calculating the loss payable for Building 1: 

 $ 60,100 

 – 250 

 $ 59,850 Loss Payable – Building 1 

The Deductible applies once per occurrence and 

therefore is not subtracted in determining the amount 

of loss payable for Building 2. Loss payable for 

Building 2 is the Limit of Insurance of $80,000. 

Total amount of loss payable: 

$59,850 + $80,000 = $139,850 

Example 2 

(This example, too, assumes there is no Coinsurance 

penalty.) 

The Deductible and Limits of Insurance are the same 

as those in Example 1. 

Loss to Building 1: $ 70,000

(Exceeds Limit of Insurance plus Deductible)

Loss to Building 2: $ 90,000

 (Exceeds Limit of Insurance plus Deductible) 

Loss Payable – Building 1: $ 60,000

(Limit of Insurance)

Loss Payable – Building 2: $ 80,000

(Limit of Insurance)

Total amount of loss payable: $ 140,000

E. Loss Conditions 

The following conditions apply in addition to the 

Common Policy Conditions and the Commercial 

Property Conditions: 

 1. Abandonment 

There can be no abandonment of any property 

to us. 

 2. Appraisal 

If we and you disagree on the value of the 

property or the amount of loss, either may 

make written demand for an appraisal of the 

loss. In this event, each party will select a 

competent and impartial appraiser. The two 

appraisers will select an umpire. If they cannot 

agree, either may request that selection be 

made by a judge of a court having jurisdiction. 

The appraisers will state separately the value 

of the property and amount of loss. If they fail 

to agree, they will submit their differences to 

the umpire. A decision agreed to by any two 

will be binding. Each party will: 

 a. Pay its chosen appraiser; and 

 b. Bear the other expenses of the appraisal 

and umpire equally. 

If there is an appraisal, we will still retain our 

right to deny the claim. 

 3. Duties In The Event Of Loss Or Damage 

 a. You must see that the following are done in 

the event of loss or damage to Covered 

Property: 

 (1) Notify the police if a law may have been 

broken. 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 48 of 103 Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 9-1 Filed 11/06/19 Page 33 of 66
CP 00 10 10 12 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 Page 11 of 16

(2) Give us prompt notice of the loss or 

damage. Include a description of the 

property involved. 

 (3) As soon as possible, give us a 

description of how, when and where the 

loss or damage occurred. 

 (4) Take all reasonable steps to protect the 

Covered Property from further damage, 

and keep a record of your expenses 

necessary to protect the Covered 

Property, for consideration in the 

settlement of the claim. This will not 

increase the Limit of Insurance. 

However, we will not pay for any 

subsequent loss or damage resulting 

from a cause of loss that is not a 

Covered Cause of Loss. Also, if 

feasible, set the damaged property 

aside and in the best possible order for

the event of an examination, an insured's

 4. Loss Payment 

 a. In the event of loss or damage covered by 

this Coverage Form, at our option, we will

below; 

 (3) Take all or any part of the property at an

We will determine the value of lost or 

damaged property, or the cost of its repair 

or replacement, in accordance with the 

applicable terms of the Valuation Condition 

in this Coverage Form or any applicable 

provision which amends or supersedes the 

Valuation Condition.

ordinance or law regulating the 

construction, use or repair of any property. 

 c. We will give notice of our intentions within 

30 days after we receive the sworn proof of

arising from claims of owners of property.

 h. A party wall is a wall that separates and is 

common to adjoining buildings that are 

owned by different parties. In settling 

covered losses involving a party wall, we 

will pay a proportion of the loss to the party 

wall based on your interest in the wall in 

proportion to the interest of the owner of the 

adjoining building. However, if you elect to 

repair or replace your building and the 

owner of the adjoining building elects not to 

repair or replace that building, we will pay 

you the full value of the loss to the party 

wall, subject to all applicable policy 

provisions including Limits of Insurance, the 

Valuation and Coinsurance Conditions and 

all other provisions of this Loss Payment 

Condition. Our payment under the 

provisions of this paragraph does not alter 

any right of subrogation we may have 

against any entity, including the owner or 

insurer of the adjoining building, and does 

not alter the terms of the Transfer Of Rights 

Of Recovery Against Others To Us 

Condition in this policy. 

 5. Recovered Property 

If either you or we recover any property after 

loss settlement, that party must give the other 

prompt notice. At your option, the property will 

be returned to you. You must then return to us 

the amount we paid to you for the property. We 

will pay recovery expenses and the expenses 

to repair the recovered property, subject to the 

Limit of Insurance. 

 6. Vacancy 

 a. Description Of Terms 

 (1) As used in this Vacancy Condition, the 

term building and the term vacant have 

the meanings set forth in (1)(a) and 

(1)(b) below: 

 (a) When this policy is issued to a 

tenant, and with respect to that 

tenant's interest in Covered Property, 

building means the unit or suite 

rented or leased to the tenant. Such 

building is vacant when it does not 

contain enough business personal 

property to conduct customary 

operations. 

 (b) When this policy is issued to the 

owner or general lessee of a 

building, building means the entire 

building. Such building is vacant 

unless at least 31% of its total 

square footage is: 

 (i) Rented to a lessee or sublessee 

and used by the lessee or 

sublessee to conduct its 

customary operations; and/or 

 (ii) Used by the building owner to 

conduct customary operations. 

 (2) Buildings under construction or 

renovation are not considered vacant. 

 b. Vacancy Provisions 

If the building where loss or damage occurs 

has been vacant for more than 60 

consecutive days before that loss or 

damage occurs: 

 (1) We will not pay for any loss or damage 

caused by any of the following, even if 

they are Covered Causes of Loss: 

 (a) Vandalism; 

 (b) Sprinkler leakage, unless you have 

protected the system against 

freezing; 

 (c) Building glass breakage; 

 (d) Water damage; 

 (e) Theft; or 

 (f) Attempted theft. 

 (2) With respect to Covered Causes of Loss 

other than those listed in b.(1)(a)

through b.(1)(f) above, we will reduce 

the amount we would otherwise pay for 

the loss or damage by 15%. 

 7. Valuation 

We will determine the value of Covered 

Property in the event of loss or damage as 

follows: 

 a. At actual cash value as of the time of loss 

or damage, except as provided in b., c., d.

and e. below. 

 b. If the Limit of Insurance for Building 

satisfies the Additional Condition, 

Coinsurance, and the cost to repair or 

replace the damaged building property is 

$2,500 or less, we will pay the cost of 

building repairs or replacement. 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 50 of 103 Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 9-1 Filed 11/06/19 Page 35 of 66
CP 00 10 10 12 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 Page 13 of 16

The cost of building repairs or replacement 

does not include the increased cost 

attributable to enforcement of or 

compliance with any ordinance or law 

regulating the construction, use or repair of 

any property. 

However, the following property will be 

valued at the actual cash value, even when 

attached to the building: 

 (1) Awnings or floor coverings; 

 (2) Appliances for refrigerating, ventilating, 

cooking, dishwashing or laundering; or 

 (3) Outdoor equipment or furniture. 

 c. "Stock" you have sold but not delivered at 

the selling price less discounts and 

expenses you otherwise would have had. 

 d. Glass at the cost of replacement with 

safety-glazing material if required by law. 

 e. Tenants' Improvements and Betterments at: 

 (1) Actual cash value of the lost or 

damaged property if you make repairs 

promptly. 

 (2) A proportion of your original cost if you 

do not make repairs promptly. We will 

determine the proportionate value as 

follows: 

 (a) Multiply the original cost by the 

number of days from the loss or 

damage to the expiration of the 

lease; and 

 (b) Divide the amount determined in (a)

above by the number of days from 

the installation of improvements to 

the expiration of the lease. 

If your lease contains a renewal option, 

the expiration of the renewal option 

period will replace the expiration of the 

lease in this procedure. 

 (3) Nothing if others pay for repairs or 

replacement. 

F. Additional Conditions 

The following conditions apply in addition to the 

Common Policy Conditions and the Commercial 

Property Conditions: 

 1. Coinsurance 

If a Coinsurance percentage is shown in the 

Declarations, the following condition applies: 

 a. We will not pay the full amount of any loss if 

the value of Covered Property at the time of 

loss times the Coinsurance percentage 

shown for it in the Declarations is greater 

than the Limit of Insurance for the property. 

Instead, we will determine the most we will 

pay using the following steps: 

 (1) Multiply the value of Covered Property 

at the time of loss by the Coinsurance 

percentage; 

 (2) Divide the Limit of Insurance of the 

property by the figure determined in 

Step (1); 

 (3) Multiply the total amount of loss, before 

the application of any deductible, by the 

figure determined in Step (2); and 

 (4) Subtract the deductible from the figure 

determined in Step (3). 

We will pay the amount determined in Step 

(4) or the Limit of Insurance, whichever is 

less. For the remainder, you will either have 

to rely on other insurance or absorb the 

loss yourself. 

Example 1 (Underinsurance) 

When: The value of the property is: $ 250,000

 The Coinsurance percentage 

for it is: 80%

The Limit of Insurance for it is: $ 100,000

The Deductible is: $ 250

 The amount of loss is: $ 40,000

Step (1): $250,000 x 80% = $200,000 

 (the minimum amount of insurance to 

meet your Coinsurance requirements) 

Step (2): $100,000 ÷ $200,000 = .50 

Step (3): $40,000 x .50 = $20,000 

Step (4): $20,000 – $250 = $19,750 

We will pay no more than $19,750. The remaining 

$20,250 is not covered. 

Example 2 (Adequate Insurance) 

When: The value of the property is: $ 250,000

 The Coinsurance percentage 

for it is: 80%

The Limit of Insurance for it is: $ 200,000

 The Deductible is: $ 250

The amount of loss is: $ 40,000

The minimum amount of insurance to meet your 

Coinsurance requirement is $200,000 ($250,000 x 

80%). Therefore, the Limit of Insurance in this 

example is adequate, and no penalty applies. We will 

pay no more than $39,750 ($40,000 amount of loss 

minus the deductible of $250).

Page 14 of 16 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 CP 00 10 10 12

 b. If one Limit of Insurance applies to two or 

more separate items, this condition will 

apply to the total of all property to which the 

limit applies. 

Example 3 

When: The value of the property is: 

 Building at Location 1: $ 75,000

 Building at Location 2: $ 100,000

 Personal Property 

at Location 2: $ 75,000

 $ 250,000

 The Coinsurance percentage 

for it is: 90%

 The Limit of Insurance for 

Buildings and Personal Property 

at Locations 1 and 2 is: $ 180,000

 The Deductible is: $ 1,000

 The amount of loss is: 

 Building at Location 2: $ 30,000

 Personal Property 

at Location 2: $ 20,000

 $ 50,000

Step (1): $250,000 x 90% = $225,000 

 (the minimum amount of insurance to 

meet your Coinsurance requirements 

and to avoid the penalty shown below) 

Step (2): $180,000 ÷ $225,000 = .80 

Step (3): $50,000 x .80 = $40,000 

Step (4): $40,000 – $1,000 = $39,000 

We will pay no more than $39,000. The remaining 

$11,000 is not covered. 

 2. Mortgageholders 

 a. The term mortgageholder includes trustee. 

 b. We will pay for covered loss of or damage 

to buildings or structures to each 

mortgageholder shown in the Declarations 

in their order of precedence, as interests 

may appear. 

 c. The mortgageholder has the right to receive 

loss payment even if the mortgageholder 

has started foreclosure or similar action on 

the building or structure. 

d. If we deny your claim because of your acts 

or because you have failed to comply with 

the terms of this Coverage Part, the 

mortgageholder will still have the right to 

receive loss payment if the mortgageholder: 

 (1) Pays any premium due under this 

Coverage Part at our request if you 

have failed to do so; 

 (2) Submits a signed, sworn proof of loss 

within 60 days after receiving notice 

from us of your failure to do so; and 

 (3) Has notified us of any change in 

ownership, occupancy or substantial 

change in risk known to the 

mortgageholder. 

All of the terms of this Coverage Part will 

then apply directly to the mortgageholder. 

 e. If we pay the mortgageholder for any loss 

or damage and deny payment to you 

because of your acts or because you have 

failed to comply with the terms of this 

Coverage Part: 

 (1) The mortgageholder's rights under the 

mortgage will be transferred to us to the 

extent of the amount we pay; and 

 (2) The mortgageholder's right to recover 

the full amount of the mortgageholder's 

claim will not be impaired. 

At our option, we may pay to the 

mortgageholder the whole principal on the 

mortgage plus any accrued interest. In this 

event, your mortgage and note will be 

transferred to us and you will pay your 

remaining mortgage debt to us. 

 f. If we cancel this policy, we will give written 

notice to the mortgageholder at least: 

 (1) 10 days before the effective date of 

cancellation if we cancel for your 

nonpayment of premium; or 

 (2) 30 days before the effective date of 

cancellation if we cancel for any other 

reason. 

g. If we elect not to renew this policy, we will 

give written notice to the mortgageholder at 

least 10 days before the expiration date of 

this policy. 

G. Optional Coverages 

If shown as applicable in the Declarations, the 

following Optional Coverages apply separately to 

each item: 

 1. Agreed Value 

 a. The Additional Condition, Coinsurance, 

does not apply to Covered Property to 

which this Optional Coverage applies. We 

will pay no more for loss of or damage to 

that property than the proportion that the 

Limit of Insurance under this Coverage Part 

for the property bears to the Agreed Value 

shown for it in the Declarations. 

Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 52 of 103 Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 9-1 Filed 11/06/19 Page 37 of 66
CP 00 10 10 12 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 Page 15 of 16

 b. If the expiration date for this Optional 

Coverage shown in the Declarations is not 

extended, the Additional Condition, 

Coinsurance, is reinstated and this Optional 

Coverage expires. 

 c. The terms of this Optional Coverage apply 

only to loss or damage that occurs: 

 (1) On or after the effective date of this 

Optional Coverage; and 

 (2) Before the Agreed Value expiration date 

shown in the Declarations or the policy 

expiration date, whichever occurs first. 

 2. Inflation Guard 

 a. The Limit of Insurance for property to which 

this Optional Coverage applies will 

automatically increase by the annual 

percentage shown in the Declarations. 

 b. The amount of increase will be: 

 (1) The Limit of Insurance that applied on 

the most recent of the policy inception 

date, the policy anniversary date, or any 

other policy change amending the Limit 

of Insurance, times 

 (2) The percentage of annual increase 

shown in the Declarations, expressed as 

a decimal (example: 8% is .08), times 

 (3) The number of days since the beginning 

of the current policy year or the effective 

date of the most recent policy change 

amending the Limit of Insurance, divided 

by 365. 

Example 

If: The applicable Limit of Insurance is: $ 100,000

 The annual percentage increase is: 8%

 The number of days since the 

beginning of the policy year 

(or last policy change) is: 146

 The amount of increase is: 

$100,000 x .08 x 146 ÷ 365 = $ 3,200

 3. Replacement Cost 

 a. Replacement Cost (without deduction for 

depreciation) replaces Actual Cash Value in 

the Valuation Loss Condition of this 

Coverage Form. 

 b. This Optional Coverage does not apply to: 

 (1) Personal property of others; 

 (2) Contents of a residence; 

 (3) Works of art, antiques or rare articles, 

including etchings, pictures, statuary, 

marbles, bronzes, porcelains and bric-abrac; or 

 (4) "Stock", unless the Including "Stock" 

option is shown in the Declarations. 

Under the terms of this Replacement Cost 

Optional Coverage, tenants' improvements 

and betterments are not considered to be 

the personal property of others. 

 c. You may make a claim for loss or damage 

covered by this insurance on an actual cash 

value basis instead of on a replacement 

cost basis. In the event you elect to have 

loss or damage settled on an actual cash 

value basis, you may still make a claim for 

the additional coverage this Optional 

Coverage provides if you notify us of your 

intent to do so within 180 days after the loss 

or damage. 

 d. We will not pay on a replacement cost basis 

for any loss or damage: 

 (1) Until the lost or damaged property is 

actually repaired or replaced; and 

 (2) Unless the repair or replacement is 

made as soon as reasonably possible 

after the loss or damage. 

With respect to tenants' improvements and 

betterments, the following also apply: 

 (3) If the conditions in d.(1) and d.(2) above 

are not met, the value of tenants' 

improvements and betterments will be 

determined as a proportion of your 

original cost, as set forth in the 

Valuation Loss Condition of this 

Coverage Form; and 

 (4) We will not pay for loss or damage to 

tenants' improvements and betterments 

if others pay for repairs or replacement.

property with other property: 

 (a) Of comparable material and quality; 

and 

 (b) Used for the same purpose; or 

 (3) The amount actually spent that is 

necessary to repair or replace the lost or 

damaged property.

the cost which would have been incurred if 

the building had been rebuilt at the original 

premises.

 f. The cost of repair or replacement does not 

include the increased cost attributable to 

enforcement of or compliance with any 

ordinance or law regulating the 

construction, use or repair of any property. 

 4. Extension Of Replacement Cost To 

Personal Property Of Others 

 a. If the Replacement Cost Optional Coverage 

is shown as applicable in the Declarations, 

then this Extension may also be shown as 

applicable. If the Declarations show this 

Extension as applicable, then Paragraph 

3.b.(1) of the Replacement Cost Optional 

Coverage is deleted and all other provisions 

of the Replacement Cost Optional 

Coverage apply to replacement cost on 

personal property of others. 

 b. With respect to replacement cost on the 

personal property of others, the following 

limitation applies: 

If an item(s) of personal property of others 

is subject to a written contract which 

governs your liability for loss or damage to 

that item(s), then valuation of that item(s)

of the property or the applicable Limit of 

Insurance.

the "fungus", wet or dry rot or bacteria; 

 b. The cost to tear out and replace any part of 

the building or other property as needed to 

gain access to the "fungus", wet or dry rot 

or bacteria; and 

c. The cost of testing performed after removal, 

repair, replacement or restoration of the 

damaged property is completed, provided 

there is a reason to believe that "fungus", 

wet or dry rot or bacteria are present. 

 3. The coverage described under E.2. of this 

Limited Coverage is limited to $15,000. 

Regardless of the number of claims, this limit is 

the most we will pay for the total of all loss or 

damage arising out of all occurrences of 

"specified causes of loss" (other than fire or 

lightning) and Flood which take place in a 12-

month period (starting with the beginning of the 

present annual policy period). With respect to a 

particular occurrence of loss which results in 

"fungus", wet or dry rot or bacteria, we will not 

pay more than a total of $15,000 even if the 

"fungus", wet or dry rot or bacteria continue to 

be present or active, or recur, in a later policy 

period.

 4. The coverage provided under this Limited 

Coverage does not increase the applicable 

Limit of Insurance on any Covered Property. If 

a particular occurrence results in loss or 

damage by "fungus", wet or dry rot or bacteria, 

and other loss or damage, we will not pay 

more, for the total of all loss or damage, than 

the applicable Limit of Insurance on the 

affected Covered Property. 

If there is covered loss or damage to Covered 

Property, not caused by "fungus", wet or dry rot 

or bacteria, loss payment will not be limited by 

the terms of this Limited Coverage, except to 

the extent that "fungus", wet or dry rot or 

bacteria cause an increase in the loss. Any 

such increase in the loss will be subject to the 

terms of this Limited Coverage. 

 5. The terms of this Limited Coverage do not 

increase or reduce the coverage provided 

under Paragraph F.2. (Water Damage, Other 

Liquids, Powder Or Molten Material Damage) 

of this Causes Of Loss form or under the 

Additional Coverage, Collapse. 

 6. The following, 6.a. or 6.b., applies only if 

Business Income and/or Extra Expense 

Coverage applies to the described premises 

and only if the "suspension" of "operations" 

satisfies all terms and conditions of the 

applicable Business Income and/or Extra 

Expense Coverage Form: 

 a. If the loss which resulted in "fungus", wet or 

dry rot or bacteria does not in itself 

necessitate a "suspension" of "operations", 

but such "suspension" is necessary due to 

loss or damage to property caused by 

"fungus", wet or dry rot or bacteria, then our 

payment under Business Income and/or 

Extra Expense is limited to the amount of 

loss and/or expense sustained in a period 

of not more than 30 days. The days need 

not be consecutive. 

 b. If a covered "suspension" of "operations" 

was caused by loss or damage other than 

"fungus", wet or dry rot or bacteria but 

remediation of "fungus", wet or dry rot or 

bacteria prolongs the "period of restoration", 

we will pay for loss and/or expense 

sustained during the delay (regardless of 

when such a delay occurs during the 

"period of restoration"), but such coverage 

is limited to 30 days. The days need not be 

consecutive. 

F. Additional Coverage Extensions 

 1. Property In Transit

This Extension applies only to your personal 

property to which this form applies. 

 a. You may extend the insurance provided by 

this Coverage Part to apply to your 

personal property (other than property in 

the care, custody or control of your 

salespersons) in transit more than 100 feet 

from the described premises. Property must

result from one of the following causes of 

loss:

Collision means accidental contact of 

your vehicle with another vehicle or 

object. It does not mean your vehicle's 

contact with the roadbed. 

 (3) Theft of an entire bale, case or package 

by forced entry into a securely locked 

body or compartment of the vehicle. 

There must be visible marks of the 

forced entry. 

 c. The most we will pay for loss or damage

This Coverage Extension is additional 

insurance. The Additional Condition, 

Coinsurance, does not apply to this Extension. 

 2. Water Damage, Other Liquids, Powder Or 

Molten Material Damage 

If loss or damage caused by or resulting from 

covered water or other liquid, powder or molten 

material damage loss occurs, we will also pay 

the cost to tear out and replace any part of the 

building or structure to repair damage to the 

system or appliance from which the water or 

other substance escapes. This Coverage

Insurance.

Page 10 of 10 © Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2011 CP 10 30 10 12

b. We will pay for expenses incurred to 

remove or replace obstructions when 

repairing or replacing glass that is part of a 

building. This does not include removing or 

replacing window displays. 

This Coverage Extension F.3. does not 

increase the Limit of Insurance. 

G. Definitions 

 1. "Fungus" means any type or form of fungus, 

including mold or mildew, and any mycotoxins, 

spores, scents or by-products produced or 

released by fungi. 

 2. "Specified causes of loss" means the following: 

fire; lightning; explosion; windstorm or hail; 

smoke; aircraft or vehicles; riot or civil 

commotion; vandalism; leakage from fireextinguishing equipment; sinkhole collapse; 

volcanic action; falling objects; weight of snow, 

ice or sleet; water damage. 

 a. Sinkhole collapse means the sudden 

sinking or collapse of land into underground 

empty spaces created by the action of 

water on limestone or dolomite. This cause 

of loss does not include: 

 (1) The cost of filling sinkholes; or 

 (2) Sinking or collapse of land into manmade underground cavities. 

 b. Falling objects does not include loss or 

damage to: 

 (1) Personal property in the open; or

 (2) The interior of a building or structure, or 

property inside a building or structure, 

unless the roof or an outside wall of the 

building or structure is first damaged by 

a falling object. 

 c. Water damage means: 

 (1) Accidental discharge or leakage of 

water or steam as the direct result of the 

breaking apart or cracking of a 

plumbing, heating, air conditioning or 

other system or appliance (other than a 

sump system including its related 

equipment and parts), that is located on 

the described premises and contains 

water or steam; and

 (2) Accidental discharge or leakage of 

water or waterborne material as the 

direct result of the breaking apart or 

cracking of a water or sewer pipe that is 

located off the described premises and 

is part of a municipal potable water 

supply system or municipal sanitary 

sewer system, if the breakage or 

cracking is caused by wear and tear. 

But water damage does not include loss or 

damage otherwise excluded under the 

terms of the Water Exclusion. Therefore, for 

example, there is no coverage under this 

policy in the situation in which discharge or 

leakage of water results from the breaking 

apart or cracking of a pipe which was 

caused by or related to weather-induced 

flooding, even if wear and tear 

contributed to the breakage or cracking. As 

another example, and also in accordance 

with the terms of the Water Exclusion, there 

is no coverage for loss or damage caused 

by or related to weather-induced flooding 

which follows or is exacerbated by pipe 

breakage or cracking attributable to wear 

and tear. 

To the extent that accidental discharge or 

leakage of water falls within the criteria set 

forth in c.(1) or c.(2) of this definition of 

"specified causes of loss," such water is not 

subject to the provisions of the Water 

Exclusion which preclude coverage for 

surface water or water under the surface of 

the ground.

FLORIDA CHANGES 

This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following: 

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY COVERAGE PART

Property Policy CP 00 99, the term Coverage Part 

in this endorsement is replaced by the term Policy. 

B. The following provision applies when a 

Coinsurance percentage is shown in the 

Declarations: 

Florida law states as follows: 

Coinsurance contract: The rate charged in this 

policy is based upon the use of the coinsurance 

clause attached to this policy, with the consent of 

the Insured. 

C. The following is added: 

If windstorm is a Covered Cause of Loss and loss 

or damage to Covered Property is caused by or 

results from windstorm, the following exclusion 

applies in: 

 1. Broward County; 

2. Dade County; 

3. Martin County; 

4. Monroe County; 

5. Palm Beach County; and

Intracoastal Waterway in the counties of:

Windstorm Exterior Paint And Waterproofing 

Exclusion 

We will not pay for loss or damage caused by 

windstorm to: 

 1. Paint; or 

 2. Waterproofing material; 

applied to the exterior of buildings unless the 

building to which such loss or damage occurs also 

sustains other loss or damage by windstorm in the 

course of the same storm event. But such 

coverage applies only if windstorm is a Covered 

Cause of Loss. 

When loss or damage to exterior paint or 

waterproofing material is excluded, we will not 

include the value of paint or waterproofing material 

to determine: 

 a. The amount of the Windstorm or Hail 

Deductible; or 

 b. The value of Covered Property when 

applying the Coinsurance Condition. 

D. The Loss Payment Condition dealing with the 

number of days within which we must pay for 

covered loss or damage is replaced by the 

following: 

Provided you have complied with all the terms of 

this Coverage Part, we will pay for covered loss or 

damage upon the earliest of the following: 

 (1) Within 20 days after we receive the 

sworn proof of loss and reach written 

agreement with you; 

 (2) Within 30 days after we receive the 

sworn proof of loss and: 

 (a) There is an entry of a final judgment; 

or 

 (b) There is a filing of an appraisal 

award with us; or 

 (3) Within 90 days of receiving notice of an 

initial, reopened or supplemental claim, 

unless we deny the claim during that 

time or factors beyond our control 

reasonably prevent such payment. If a 

portion of the claim is denied, then the 

90-day time period for payment of claim 

relates to the portion of the claim that is 

not denied. 

Paragraph (3) applies only to the 

following: 

 (a) A claim under a policy covering 

residential property;

 (b) A claim for building or contents 

coverage if the insured structure is

 (c) A claim for contents coverage under 

a tenant's policy if the rented 

premises are 10,000 square feet or 

less and the policy covers only 

locations in Florida. 

E. Sinkhole Collapse Coverage Removed 

Sinkhole Collapse coverage is removed, as 

indicated in Paragraphs E.1. through E.4.; and 

coverage for Catastrophic Ground Cover Collapse 

is added instead as set forth in Paragraph F. 

 1. In the Causes Of Loss – Basic Form and in the 

Standard Property Policy, Sinkhole Collapse is 

deleted from the Covered Causes of Loss and 

sinkhole collapse is no longer an exception to 

the Earth Movement Exclusion. 

 2. In the Causes Of Loss – Broad Form, Sinkhole 

Collapse is deleted from the Covered Causes 

of Loss and from the Additional Coverage – 

Collapse; and sinkhole collapse is no longer an 

exception to the Earth Movement Exclusion. 

 3. In the Causes Of Loss – Special Form, 

Sinkhole Collapse is deleted from the 

"specified causes of loss" and is no longer an 

exception to the Earth Movement Exclusion. 

 4. In the Mortgageholders Errors And Omissions 

Coverage Form, Sinkhole Collapse is deleted 

from the Covered Causes of Loss under 

Coverage B and from the "specified causes of 

loss", and is no longer an exception to the 

Earth Movement Exclusion. 

Further, this Coverage Part does not insure 

against Sinkhole Loss as defined in Florida law 

unless an endorsement for Sinkhole Loss is made 

part of this policy. However, if Sinkhole Loss 

causes Catastrophic Ground Cover Collapse, 

coverage is provided for the resulting Catastrophic 

Ground Cover Collapse even if an endorsement 

for Sinkhole Loss is not made part of this policy. 

F. The following is added to this Coverage Part as a 

Covered Cause of Loss. In the Causes Of Loss – 

Special Form and Mortgageholders Errors And 

Omissions Coverage Form, the following is also 

added as a "specified cause of loss". However, as 

a "specified cause of loss", the following does not 

apply to the Additional Coverage – Collapse. 

Catastrophic Ground Cover Collapse 

We will pay for direct physical loss or damage to 

Covered Property caused by or resulting from 

catastrophic ground cover collapse, meaning 

geological activity that results in all of the 

following: 

 1. The abrupt collapse of the ground cover; 

2. A depression in the ground cover clearly visible 

to the naked eye; 

3. "Structural damage" to the building, including 

the foundation; and 

4. The insured structure being condemned and 

ordered to be vacated by the governmental 

agency authorized by law to issue such an 

order for that structure. 

However, damage consisting merely of the settling 

or cracking of a foundation, structure or building 

does not constitute loss or damage resulting from 

a catastrophic ground cover collapse. 

The Earth Movement Exclusion and the Collapse

Exclusion do not apply to coverage for 

Catastrophic Ground Cover Collapse. 

Coverage for Catastrophic Ground Cover Collapse 

does not increase the applicable Limit of 

Insurance. Regardless of whether loss or damage 

attributable to catastrophic ground cover collapse 

also qualifies as Sinkhole Loss or Earthquake (if 

either or both of those causes of loss are covered 

under this Coverage Part), only one Limit of 

Insurance will apply to such loss or damage. 

G. The following applies to the Additional Coverage 

– Civil Authority under the Business Income (And 

Extra Expense) Coverage Form, Business Income 

(Without Extra Expense) Coverage Form and 

Extra Expense Coverage Form: 

1. The Additional Coverage – Civil Authority 

includes a requirement that the described 

premises are not more than one mile from the 

damaged property. With respect to described 

premises located in Florida, such one-mile 

radius does not apply. 

2. The Additional Coverage – Civil Authority is 

limited to a coverage period of up to four 

weeks. With respect to described premises 

located in Florida, such four-week period is 

replaced by a three-week period. 

 3. Civil Authority coverage is subject to all other 

provisions of that Additional Coverage.

H. The following provisions are added to the Duties 

In The Event Of Loss Or Damage Loss 

Condition: 

(1) A claim, supplemental claim or 

reopened claim for loss or damage 

caused by hurricane or other windstorm 

is barred unless notice of claim is given 

to us in accordance with the terms of 

this policy within three years after the 

hurricane first made landfall or a 

windstorm other than hurricane caused 

the covered damage. (Supplemental 

claim or reopened claim means an 

additional claim for recovery from us for 

losses from the same hurricane or other 

windstorm which we have previously 

adjusted pursuant to the initial claim.) 

This provision concerning time for 

submission of claim, supplemental claim 

or reopened claim does not affect any 

limitation for legal action against us as 

provided in this policy under the Legal 

Action Against Us Condition, including 

any amendment to that condition. 

(2) Any inspection or survey by us, or on 

our behalf, of property that is the subject 

of a claim, will be conducted with at 

least 48 hours' notice to you. The 48-

hour notice may be waived by you. 

 I. The following definition of structural damage is 

added with respect to the coverage provided 

under this endorsement: 

"Structural damage" means a covered building, 

regardless of the date of its construction, has 

experienced the following. 

1. Interior floor displacement or deflection in 

excess of acceptable variances as defined in 

ACI 117-90 or the Florida Building Code, which 

results in settlement related damage to the 

interior such that the interior building structure 

or members become unfit for service or 

represent a safety hazard as defined within the 

Florida Building Code; 

 2. Foundation displacement or deflection in 

excess of acceptable variances as defined in 

ACI 318-95 or the Florida Building Code, which 

results in settlement related damage to the 

primary structural members or primary 

structural systems that prevents those 

members or systems from supporting the loads 

and forces they were designed to support to 

the extent that stresses in those primary 

structural members or primary structural 

systems exceed one and one-third the nominal 

strength allowed under the Florida Building 

Code for new buildings of similar structure, 

purpose, or location; 

3. Damage that results in listing, leaning, or 

buckling of the exterior load bearing walls or 

other vertical primary structural members to 

such an extent that a plumb line passing 

through the center of gravity does not fall 

inside the middle one-third of the base as 

defined within the Florida Building Code; 

4. Damage that results in the building, or any 

portion of the building containing primary 

structural members or primary structural 

systems, being significantly likely to imminently 

collapse because of the movement or 

instability of the ground within the influence 

zone of the supporting ground within the sheer 

plane necessary for the purpose of supporting 

such building as defined within the Florida 

Building Code; or 

5. Damage occurring on or after October 15, 

2005, that qualifies as substantial structural 

damage as defined in the Florida Building 

Code.

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE

NOTICE OF TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE

You were notified that under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, you have a right to purchase insurance

coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism. As defined in Section 102(1) of the Act: The term "act of terrorism"

means any act or acts that are certified by the Secretary of the Treasury---in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland

Security, and the Attorney General of the United States---to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is

dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the

United States in the case of certain air carriers or vessels or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been

committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to

influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WHERE COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BY YOUR POLICY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM

CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM, SUCH LOSSES MAY BE PARTIALLY REIMBURSED BY THE UNITED STATES

GOVERNMENT UNDER A FORMULA ESTABLISHED BY FEDERAL LAW. HOWEVER, YOUR POLICY MAY CONTAIN

OTHER EXCLUSIONS WHICH MIGHT AFFECT YOUR COVERAGE, SUCH AS AN EXCLUSION FOR NUCLEAR

EVENTS. UNDER THE FORMULA, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT GENERALLY REIMBURSES 85% FOR

YEAR 2015, 84% BEGINNING ON JANUARY 1, 2016; 83% BEGINNING ON JANUARY 1, 2017, 82% BEGINNING ON

JANUARY 1, 2018; 81% BEGINNING ON JANUARY 1, 2019 AND 80% BEGINNING ON JANUARY 1, 2020, OF

COVERED TERRORISM LOSSES EXCEEDING THE STATUTORILY ESTABLISHED DEDUCTIBLE PAID BY THE

INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDING THE COVERAGE. THE PREMIUM THAT WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THIS

COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BELOW AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CHARGES FOR THE PORTION OF LOSS THAT

MAY BE COVERED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER THE ACT.

YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT, AS AMENDED, CONTAINS A $100

BILLION CAP THAT LIMITS U.S. GOVERNMENT REIMBURSEMENT AS WELL AS INSURERS’ LIABILITY FOR

LOSSES RESULTING FROM CERTIFIED ACTS OF TERRORISM WHEN THE AMOUNT OF SUCH LOSSES IN ANY

ONE CALENDAR YEAR EXCEEDS $100 BILLION. IF THE AGGREGATE INSURED LOSSES FOR ALL INSURERS

EXCEED $100 BILLION, YOUR COVERAGE MAY BE REDUCED.

You elected NOT to purchase terrorism coverage under the Act at the price indicated. ACCORDINGLY, WE WILL NOT

PROVIDE THIS COVERAGE AND YOU DO NOT OWE THE ADDITIONAL PREMIUM FOR THAT COVERAGE

INDICATED BELOW.

Terrorism coverage described by the Act under your policy was made available to you for additional

premium in the amount of $199.05, however you elected to decline such coverage.

DEFENDANT WESTCHESTER SURPLUS LINES INSURANCE 

COMPANY’S UNVERIFIED RESPONSE TO

PLAINTIFF’S INTERROGATORIES

Defendant Westchester Surplus Lines Insurance Company 

(“Westchester”), by and through its undersigned attorney, hereby responds to 

plaintiff’s interrogatories as follows:

INTERROGATORY NO. 1: What is the name and address of the person answering 

these interrogatories, and, if applicable, the person's official position or relationship 

with the party to whom the interrogatory is directed?

ANSWER: Cynthia Vann, Senior Claim Director, with assistance from counsel 

for Westchester, provided the information used in answering these 

interrogatories.

INTERROGATORY NO. 2: State the facts upon which you rely for each affirmative 

defense in your Answer to the Complaint, or in support of a Motion to Dismiss if 

such was filed.

ANSWER: Greta Lawrence and/or Pier 98 have directly paid plaintiff at least 

$50,922.38. Those checks paid to plaintiff are as follows: (1) Lawrence check 

no. 2775 in the amount of $14,310.00 dated December 11, 2018; (2) Lawrence 

EXHIBIT C Case 5:19-cv-00381-TKW-MJF Document 18 Filed 01/15/20 Page 93 of 103
- 2 -

check no. 2785 in the amount of $9,841.90 dated January 4, 2019; and (3) Pier 

98 check no. 13358 in the amount of $26,770.48 dated December 11, 2018. 

Plaintiff demanded full payment of its two invoices in the amount of $55,314.29 

and $26,207.13 from Westchester despite receiving and negotiating these 

payments from Lawrence and/or Pier 98. The remaining affirmative defenses 

are self-explanatory. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 3: State each and every policy provision upon which you 

are relying in connection with your decision to deny, or otherwise not make payment 

in full on Plaintiff’s invoices for the property damages incurred by Assignor or 

claimed by Plaintiff in this matter.

ANSWER: Westchester has not denied the underlying claim made by the 

insured. To the contrary, Westchester and the insured have resolved all issues 

pertaining to the claim except plaintiff’s invoices. Westchester and the 

insured’s public adjuster maintain that plaintiff’s invoices are excessive in both 

price and scope. Before initiation of this lawsuit, Westchester made multiple 

inquiries to plaintiff regarding its billing practices, but plaintiff failed to 

substantively respond to any of these inquires.

INTERROGATORY NO. 4: Have you heard or do you know about any statement 

or remark made by or on behalf of any party to this lawsuit, other than yourself, or 

by Assignor, concerning any issue in this lawsuit? If so, state the name and address 

of each person who made the statement or statements, the name and address of each 

person who heard it, and the date, time, place, and substance of each statement.

ANSWER: Westchester objects to interrogatory number 4 because it is overly 

broad and vague. Without waiving these objections, and specifically subject to 

the objections, there are no recorded statements, transcripts or other 

recordings of the substance of statements regarding this lawsuit. Westchester 

believes that the following individuals may have knowledge of the facts at issue 

in this matter:

photograph pertaining to any fact or issue involved in this controversy; and describe 

as to each, what item such person has, the name and address of the person who took 

or prepared it, and the date it was taken or prepared.

ANSWER: Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(d), Westchester has produced 

documents responsive to interrogatory number 5. Westchester does not know 

of any other documents in the possession of other people or entities. 

INTERROGATORY NO. 6: Identify with specificity any policies of insurance 

which may provide insurance coverage to the Plaintiff, the Assignor, or any other 

person, firm, corporation or company, for the property damage incident alleged in

and any deductibles applicable to the damages alleged in this action.

ANSWER: Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(d), Westchester has produced a copy 

of the Westchester commercial property insurance policy, number 

FSF13883324 001, in response to interrogatory number 6. Westchester does not 

have knowledge of any other policies responsive to this interrogatory.

INTERROGATORY NO 7: As to each policy of insurance identified by you in 

Interrogatory 6 above, state in specificity whether there are any known coverage 

disputes or coverage issues currently known to you or alleged by you, including but 

not limited to, denials of coverage, coverage under reservation of rights, or other 

declaratory actions to determine coverage or the extent of coverage.

ANSWER: Westchester and its insured have resolved all issues pertaining to 

the claim except for plaintiff’s invoices.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8: Identify by name, address, phone number, employer 

and title/position all persons who are or have been responsible for making any 

decisions on your behalf to deny insurance coverage to Assignor or Plaintiff, deny 

any of Plaintiff’s bills or invoices in question, or to deny any portion of any bill or 

invoice submitted by Plaintiff to you for the property damages described in Plaintiffs' 

Complaint and for each such individual state what decisions were made by said 

individual.

ANSWER: Westchester did not deny the underlying claim made by the insured. 

To the contrary, Westchester and the insured have resolved all issues pertaining 

to the claim except for plaintiff’s invoices. Westchester and the insured’s public 

adjuster believe that plaintiff’s invoices are excessive in both price and scope. 

Before initiation of this lawsuit, Cynthia Vann, Senior Claim Director, made 

multiple inquiries to plaintiff regarding its billing practices and requested

further information on behalf of Westchester, but plaintiff failed to

substantively respond to these inquires. Loss Management Solutions (“LMS”) 

also contacted plaintiff to request information regarding the invoices, but never 

received a response. The address for LMS is 395 West State Hwy. 114, Suite 

200, Southlake, TX 76092. As of the date of filing this lawsuit, the insured’s 

claim remained open while Westchester waited for a substantive response to 

Westchester’s inquiries.

matter of this action, is outside the scope of the action and has no relation to the 

litigation. A party wishing to utilize the discovery rules must show that the 

information desired to be disclosed is relevant to the proceeding. Further, 

Westchester objects to subparts (c), (d) and (e) of interrogatory number 16 

because it seeks information that constitutes or contains trade secrets, 

competitively sensitive information, or material that is confidential, 

proprietary, or that is properly subject to a protective order. Subject to these 

objections, and without waiving these objections, Westchester responds to 

subparts (a) and (b) of interrogatory 16 as follows:

Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc. was retained on October 31, 2018, 

to investigate the insured’s claim by Cynthia Vann. Loss Management

submitted by plaintiff and to make inquires to plaintiff regarding the invoices.
