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 resulting 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 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;

(d)Remove property of others of a type that would not be Covered Property under this policy;

(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 that we will pay for the total of direct physical loss or damage plus debris removal expense is the Limit of Insurance applicable Covered Property that has sustained loss or damage.

(b)Subject to Paragraph (3)(a) above, the amount we will pay for debris removal expense is limited to 25 percent 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 percent 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.

     Therefore, if Paragraphs (4)(a) and/or (4)(b) apply, 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.

(5)Examples

    Example #1

     Limit of Insurance$90,000

     Amount of Deductible$   500

     Amount of Loss$50,000

     Amount of Loss Payable$49,500

          ($50,000 – $500)

     Debris Removal Expense$10,000

     Debris Removal Expense Payable$10,000

          ($10,000 is 20 percent 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.

     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 of 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 thirty 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 $2,500 for service at each premises described in the Declarations, unless a different amount 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.

The coverage provided under this Additional Coverage – Collapse applies only to an abrupt collapse as described and limited in Paragraphs d.(1) through d.(7).

(d)Use of defective material or methods in construction, remodeling or renovation if the abrupt collapse occurs after the construction, remodeling or renovation is complete, but only if the collapse is caused in part by:

(i)A cause of loss listed in Paragraph (2)(a) or (2)(b);

(ii)One or more of the "specified causes of loss";

(iii)Breakage of building glass;

(iv)Weight of people or personal property; or

(h)Walks, roadways and other paved surfaces;

     if an abrupt collapse is caused by a cause of loss listed in Paragraphs (2)(a) through (2)(d), we will pay for loss or damage to that property only if such loss or damage is a direct result of the abrupt collapse of a building insured under this policy and the property is Covered Property under this policy.

(5)If personal property abruptly falls down or caves in and such collapse is not the result of abrupt collapse of a building, we will pay for loss or damage to Covered Property caused by such collapse of personal property only if:

(a)The collapse of personal property was caused by a cause of loss listed in Paragraphs (2)(a) through (2)(d) of this Additional Coverage;

(b)The personal property which collapses is inside a building; and

(c)The property which collapses is not of a kind listed in Paragraph (4), regardless of whether that kind of property is considered to be personal property or real property.

     The coverage stated in this Paragraph (5) does not apply to personal property if marring and/or scratching is the only damage to that personal property caused by the collapse.

     Collapse of personal property does not mean cracking, bulging, sagging, bending, leaning, settling, shrinkage or expansion.

(6)This Additional Coverage – Collapse does not apply to personal property that has not abruptly fallen down or caved in, even if the personal property shows evidence of cracking, bulging, sagging, bending, leaning, settling, shrinkage or expansion.

(7)This Additional coverage – Collapse, will not increase the Limits of Insurance provided in this policy.

(8) The term Covered Cause of Loss includes the Additional Coverage – Collapse as described and limited in Paragraphs d.(1) through d.(7).

     If loss or damage caused by or resulting from covered water or other liquid, powder or molten material 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.

     We will not pay the cost to repair any defect that caused the loss or damage; but we will pay the cost to repair or replace damaged parts of fire extinguishing equipment if the damage:

(1)Results in discharge of any substance from an automatic fire protection system; or

(2)Is directly caused by freezing.

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 for each location under this Additional Coverage is $10,000 for the sum of all such expenses arising out of Covered Causes of Loss occurring during each separate 12-month period of this policy.

(6)The most we will pay under this Additional Coverage, for each described building insured under Section I – Property, is $10,000. If a damaged building(s) 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 each damaged building, is $10,000.

(2)The Covered Causes of Loss applicable to Business Personal Property include a computer 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.

But there is no coverage for an interruption related to 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.

(3)The most we will pay under this Additional Coverage – Interruption Of Computer Operations for all loss sustained and expense incurred in any one policy year, regardless of the number of interruptions or the number of premises, locations or computer systems involved, is $10,000 unless a higher Limit of Insurance is shown in the Declarations. If loss payment relating to the first interruption does not exhaust this amount, then the balance is available for loss or expense sustained or incurred as a result of subsequent interruptions in that policy year. A balance remaining at the end of a policy year does not increase the amount of insurance in the next policy year. With respect to any interruption which begins in one policy year and continues or results in additional loss or expense in a subsequent policy year(s), all loss and expense is deemed to be sustained or incurred in the policy year in which the interruption began.

(4)This Additional Coverage – Interruption Of Computer Operations does not apply to loss sustained or expense incurred after the end of the "period of restoration", even if the amount of insurance stated in (3) above has not been exhausted.

(5)Coverage for Business Income does not apply when a suspension of "operations" is caused by destruction or corruption of "electronic data", or any loss or damage to "electronic data", except as provided under Paragraphs (1) through (4) of this Additional Coverage.

(1)The coverage described in Paragraphs r.(2) and r.(6) only applies when the "fungi", wet rot or dry rot are the result of a "specified cause of loss" other than fire or lightning that occurs during the policy period and only if all reasonable means were used to save and preserve the property from further damage at the time of and after that occurrence.

This Additional Coverage does not apply to lawns, trees, shrubs or plants which are part of a vegetated roof.

(2)We will pay for loss or damage by "fungi", wet rot or dry rot. As used in this Limited Coverage, the term loss or damage means:

(a)Direct physical loss or damage to Covered Property caused by "fungi", wet or dry rot or bacteria, including the cost of removal of the "fungi", wet rot or dry rot;

(b)The cost to tear out and replace any part of the building or other property as needed to gain access to the "fungi", wet rot or dry rot; 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 "fungi", wet rot or dry rot is present.

(3)The coverage described under 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) 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 "fungi", wet rot or dry rot, we will not pay more than the total of $15,000 even if the "fungi", wet rot or dry rot continues to be present or active, or recurs, 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 "fungi", wet rot or dry rot, 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 "fungi", wet rot or dry rot, loss payment will not be limited by the terms of this Limited Coverage, except to the extent that "fungi", wet or dry rot or bacteria causes 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 the Water Damage, Other Liquids, Powder Or Molten Material Damage or Collapse Additional Coverages.

(6)The following applies only if Business Income and/or Extra Expense Coverage applies to the described premises and only if the suspension of "operations" satisfies all the terms and conditions of the applicable Business Income and/or Extra Expense Additional Coverage.

(a)If the loss which resulted in "fungi", 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 "fungi", wet rot or dry rot, then our payment under the Business Income and/or Extra Expense Additional Coverages 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 "fungi", wet rot or dry rot, but remediation of "fungi", wet rot or dry rot 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.

(1)Business Income

(a)We will pay for the actual loss of Business Income you sustain due to the necessary suspension of your "operations" during the "period of restoration". The suspension must be caused by direct physical loss of or damage to property at the described premises. The loss or damage must be caused by or result from a Covered Cause of Loss. With respect to loss of or damage to personal property in the open or personal property in a vehicle, the described premises include the area within 100 feet of such premises.

We will only pay for ordinary payroll expenses for sixty days following the date of direct physical loss or damage unless a greater number of days is shown in the Declarations.

(c)Business Income means the:

     (i)Net Income (Net Profit or Loss before income taxes) that would have been earned or incurred if no physical loss or damage had occurred, but not including any Net Income that would likely have been earned as a result of an increase in the volume of business due to favorable business conditions caused by the impact of the Covered Cause of Loss on customers or on other businesses; and
