OTHER LIABILITY GREAT AMERICAN SPIRIT INSURANCE COMPANY LEASE BROKER FINANCED EQUIPMENT LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY LIABILITY PROGRAM EXPLANATORY RATE MEMORANDUM Program Description This program is in response to perspective insureds that frequently request an insurance program that provides liability coverage for financed equipment portfolios that is deliverable at the point of sale, thus satisfying the requirements to complete the financing process. The finance document governs that amount and type of liability coverage required. This program is designed for commercial equipment lessors and their lease brokers initiating small and mid-ticket equipment financing. This program insures the broker and assigned interest in the financed equipment. Standard finance agreements require the lessee to provide proof of liability insurance coverage naming the broker and assigned interest as additional insureds. At the time of entering into the finance agreement, the lessee has the choice to provide proof of their own insurance or to voluntarily enroll the financed asset under the lessor s insurance program. The lessee makes this choice in writing at the point of sale. If the lessee chooses to have the lessor insure the equipment, then the lessor requests coverage from the insurance company. The lessee also has the choice at any point in time during the finance agreement to provide proof of their own insurance and to un-enroll from this program. This program is offered on a wide range of commercial equipment assets. The coverage on this program will be available from the effective date displayed on the Declarations page, and is continuous until cancelled by the Lessor. The coverage on a specific financed asset is in force the earlier of: Lease inception date; or Delivery date of the equipment to the lessee; or Reported coverage effective date Coverage The coverage in this program is determined on a lease enrollment basis. Liability Coverage: the broker and assigned interest are protected from damages because of Bodily Injury or Property Damage caused by an accident occurrence from the operation, use, or existence of the financed equipment. This policy s coverage includes defense costs of any Suit seeking these damages. This coverage is primary position coverage. Rate Development The premium rates for this program are based on loss cost experience from similar property insurance programs, with equipment classed group by similar loss costs into four general risk categories.
