Page 1 of 10 <br />COMMERCIAL EXCESS LIABILITY <br />NE 00 31 01 19 <br />COMMERCIAL EXCESS LIABILITY POLICY <br /> <br />Various provisions in this policy restrict coverage. Read the entire policy carefully to determine rights, duties and <br />what is and is not covered. <br />Throughout this policy the words "you" and "your" refer to the Named Insured shown in the Declarations, and a ny <br />other person or organization qualifying as a Named Insured under this policy. The words "we", "us" and "our" refer <br />to the company providing this insurance. The word "insured" means any person or organization qualifying as such <br />under the "underlying insurance". <br />Other words and phrases that appear in quotation marks in this policy have special meaning. Refer to Section IV – <br />Definitions. Other words and phrases that are not defined under this policy but defined in the "underlying insurance" <br />will have the meaning described in the policy of "underlying insurance". <br />The insurance provided under this policy will follow the same provisions, exclusions and limitations that are <br />contained in the applicable "underlying insurance", unless otherwise directed by this insurance. To the extent such <br />provisions differ or conflict, the provisions of this policy will apply. However, the coverage provided under this policy <br />will not be broader than that provided by the applicable "underlying insurance". <br />There may be more than one "underlying insurance" policy listed in the Schedule of “underlying insurance” and <br />provisions in those policies conflict, and which are not superseded by the provisions of this policy. In such a case, <br />the provisions, exclusions and limitations of the "underlying insurance" applicable to the particular "event" for which <br />a claim is made or suit is brought will apply. <br />SECTION I – COVERAGES <br />1. Insuring Agreement <br />a. We will pay the ”ultimate net loss” in excess of the limits shown in the Schedule of “underlying insurance” <br />because of “injury or damage” to which this insurance applies, provided that the “underlying insurance” also <br />applies, or would apply but for the exhaustion of its applicable limits of insurance. <br />We will have the right and duty to defend the insured against any suit seeking damages for such “injury or <br />damage” when the applicable limits of "underlying insurance" have been exhausted in accordance with the <br />provisions of such "underlying insurance" by actual payment of the “underlying insurance” limits. An offer <br />to pay or a tender of limits of “underlying insurance” are not considered to be exhaustion of such “underlying <br />insurance” limits. <br />When we have no duty to defend, we will have the right to defend, or to participate in the defense of, the <br />insured against any other suit seeking damages for "injury or damage". <br />However, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any suit seeking damages for which insurance <br />under this policy does not apply. <br />But: <br />(1) The amount we will pay for "ultimate net loss" is limited as described in Section II – Limits Of Insurance; <br />and <br />(2) Our right and duty to defend ends when we have used up the applicable limit of insurance in the <br />payment of judgments or settlements under this policy. However, if the policy of "underlying insurance" <br />specifies that limits are reduced by defense expenses, our right and duty to defend ends when we have <br />used up the applicable limit of insurance in the payment of defense expenses, judgments or settlements <br />under this policy. <br />b. This insurance applies to "injury or damage" that is subject to the applicable Limits Of Insurance shown on <br />the Schedule of “underlying insurance”. If any other limit, such as a sublimit, is specified in the "underlying <br />insurance", this insurance does not apply to "injury or damage" arising out of that coverage. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: A181A6E1-38C6-4FC4-9DB3-55096154243F
