A person or organization may sue us to recover on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment against an insured;but we will not be liable for damages that are not payable under the terms of this insurance or that are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance.An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed by us,the insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative. 5.Separation Of Insureds Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and any rights or duties specifically assigned in this policy to the first Named Insured,this insurance applies: a.As if each Named Insured were the only Named Insured;and b.Separately to each insured against whom a claim is made or "suit"is brought. 6.Representations a.When You Accept This Policy By accepting this policy,you agree: (1)The statements in the Declarations are accurate and complete; (2)Those statements are based upon representations you made to us;and (3)We have issued this policy in reliance upon your representations. b.Unintentional Failure To Disclose Hazards If unintentionally you should fail to disclose all hazards relating to the conduct of your business at the inception date of this Coverage Part,we shall not deny any coverage under this Coverage Part because of such failure. 7.Other Insurance If other valid and collectible insurance is available for a loss we cover under this Coverage Part,our obligations are limited as follows: a.Primary Insurance This insurance is primary except when b. below applies.If other insurance is also primary,we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below. b.Excess Insurance This insurance is excess over any of the other insurance,whether primary,excess, contingent or on any other basis: (1)Your Work That is Fire,Extended Coverage, Builder's Risk,Installation Risk or similar coverage for "your work"; (2)Premises Rented To You That is fire,lightning or explosion insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (3)Tenant Liability That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage"to premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (4)Aircraft,Auto Or Watercraft If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft,"autos"or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g.of Section A.–Coverages.

BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM Form SS 00 08 04 05 Page 17 of 24 (6)When You Are Added As An Additional Insured To Other Insurance That is other insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations,or products and completed operations,for which you have been added as an additional insured by that insurance;or (7)When You Add Others As An Additional Insured To This Insurance That is other insurance available to an additional insured. However,the following provisions apply to other insurance available to any person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part: (a)Primary Insurance When Required By Contract This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance be primary.If other insurance is also primary,we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below. (b)Primary And Non-Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract If you have agreed in a written contract,written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance,this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance. Paragraphs (a)and (b)do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured. When this insurance is excess,we will have no duty under this Coverage Part to defend the insured against any "suit"if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit".If no other insurer defends,we will undertake to do so,but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers. When this insurance is excess over other insurance,we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss,if any,that exceeds the sum of: (1)The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance;and (2)The total of all deductible and self- insured amounts under all that other insurance. We will share the remaining loss,if any,with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part. c.Method Of Sharing If all the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares,we will follow this method also.Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares,we will contribute by limits.Under this method,each insurer’s share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers. 8.Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us a.Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment,including Supplementary Payments,we have made under this Coverage Part,those rights are transferred to us.The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them.At our request,the insured will bring "suit"or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them.This condition does not apply to Medical Expenses Coverage. b.Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver Of Subrogation) If the insured has waived any rights of recovery against any person or organization for all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments,we have made under this Coverage Part,we also waive that right,provided the insured waived their rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract, agreement or permit that was executed prior to the injury or damage.
