Additional Coverage Information
Property Policy # US00090392PR26A
For purposes of the overall Policy Limit, any recoverable income loss associated with EQUIPMENT BREAKDOWN
is considered TIME ELEMENT, and any and all other recoverable amounts associated with EQUIPMENT
BREAKDOWN are considered PROPERTY DAMAGE
2. SUBLIMITS
a. Sublimits are part of and not in addition to the Policy Limit. Sublimits do not increase the Policy Limit or any
other sublimits.
b. If a sublimit for a peril or type of coverage is shown as ‘Aggregate', such sublimit shall apply in the aggregate
to all such losses occurring during the POLICY PERIOD, regardless of the number of “location”(s),
coverage(s), or “occurrence”(s) involved.
c. If no sublimit is shown as the sublimit of any item listed below, then no separate sublimit applies for that
item.
d. No coverage is provided under this Policy for a peril or type of loss or damage if ‘NCP’ (No Coverage
Provided) is shown as the sublimit.
e. If not specifically stated below, a sublimit shall apply on a per “occurrence” basis to the total loss or damage
at all Insured Location(s) and for all coverages involved, regardless of the number or type(s) of coverage(s)
involved.
f. If “flood” directly results from “earth movement”, Windstorm, Hail or “named storm”, the “flood” sublimit
applies within, and shall also serve to erode, any sublimit for such peril.
g. Certain coverages have more specific sublimits or exclusions when they arise as a result of “earth
movement”, “flood”, Windstorm, Hail or “named storm” and, if applied to loss arising in connection with other
perils, are subject to the overall sublimit for such coverages stated in the SUBLIMITS section of this Policy.

TIME LIMITS:
No coverage is provided by this Policy for any loss incurred beyond the Time Limit specified:
90 Days NEWLY ACQUIRED LOCATIONS – following date of acquisition
24 Months PERIOD OF INDEMNITY
30 Days CIVIL OR MILITARY AUTHORITY – consecutive days
30 Days INGRESS/EGRESS – consecutive days
90 Days Ordinary payroll
WAITING PERIODS:
Coverage is provided by this Policy only if the Waiting Period indicated is exceeded by the period of interruption
or period of time during which access and/or ingress/egress is prohibited. If the Waiting Period is exceeded
then coverage will apply in excess of the applicable Deductible.
72 Hours SERVICE INTERRUPTION
48 Hours CIVIL OR MILITARY AUTHORITY
48 Hours INGRESS/EGRESS
DEDUCTIBLES:
In each case of loss covered by this Policy, the Company will be liable only if the Insured sustains loss or
damage, including any insured TIME ELEMENT loss, in a single “occurrence” greater than the applicable
deductible below, and then only for its share of the amount covered by this Policy in excess of the applicable
deductible.
1. When this Policy insures more than one “location”, the deductible will apply against the total loss covered
by this Policy in an “occurrence” except that a deductible that applies on a per “location” basis, if specified,
will apply separately to each “location” where the direct physical loss or damage occurred and/or the
claimed TIME ELEMENT loss was sustained regardless of the number of location(s) involved in the
“occurrence”.
2. Unless stated otherwise, if two or more deductibles apply to an “occurrence”, the total to be deducted will
not exceed the largest deductible applicable. For the purpose of this provision, when a separate
PROPERTY DAMAGE and a separate TIME ELEMENT deductible apply, the sum of the two deductibles
will be considered a single deductible. If two or more deductibles apply on a per “location” basis in an
“occurrence” the largest deductible applicable to each “location” will be applied separately to each such
“location”.
3. When a % deductible is stated below, whether separately or combined, the deductible is calculated as
follows:
Surplus Lines Template (version August 2025) Page 5 of 17
A. PROPERTY DAMAGE - % of total insurable values at the time of the loss at each covered “location”
involved in the loss or damage.
B. TIME ELEMENT - % of the full TIME ELEMENT values that would have been earned in the twelve (12)
month period following the “occurrence” by use of the facilities at the “location” where the physical
damage occurred plus that proportion of the full TIME ELEMENT values at all other “location”(s) where
TIME ELEMENT loss ensues that was directly affected by use of such facilities and that would have
been earned in the twelve (12) month period following the “occurrence” by utilization of:
i. all of the Insured’s operations at any Insured Location(s) where direct physical loss or damage
occurred and
ii. in the case of CONTINGENT TIME ELEMENT, that portion of operations of the third party which are
affected. Plus,
iii. that portion of the operations sustaining insured TIME ELEMENT loss at any other “location”(s)
where insured TIME ELEMENT loss ensues.
4. When the TIME ELEMENT deductible is shown as a multiple of “actual daily value”, from each claim will
be deducted the value of the “actual daily value” times said number.
