9. At all times relevant hereto, Defendant Joan H. Barrett was a named insured under
an automobile insurance policy issued by Plaintiff Progressive Specialty Insurance Company
under Policy Number 26346866 -2 insuring her 2001 Ford Taurus. (A true and correct copy of
the automobile insurance policy, including the. Declarations Page, is collectively attached hereto
as Exhibit 1).
10. On or about November 30, 2013, Defendant Caleb Spitzer was driving Barrett's
2001 Ford Taurus without her permission and /or knowledge when he was involved in a single
motor vehicle accident on McCormick Road, Cumberland County, Upper Allen Township,
Pennsylvania, losing control of the vehicle and running off the roadway striking a tree. (A copy
of an Affidavit of Non - Permissive Use signed by Joan H. Barrett is attached hereto as Exhibit 2).
11. At all times material hereto, on or about November 30, 2013, Defendants
Samantha Margo, Kaitlyn Anderson, Elizabeth Turner and Cyle Starner -Moore were riding in
Barrett's 2001 Ford Taurus that was being driven by Defendant Caleb Spitzer without Barrett's
permission and/or knowledge when the aforesaid accident occurred.
12. At all times material hereto, Defendants Samantha Margo, Kaitlyn Anderson,
3
t
Elizabeth Turner and Cyle Starner -Moore are all claiming that they sustained personal injuries as
a result of the subject accident.
13. At all times material hereto, Defendants Samantha Margo, Kaitlyn Anderson,
Elizabeth Turner and Cyle Starner -Moore have filed and /or made a claim for their personal
injuries allegedly sustained in the accident against the liability provisions of Plaintiff Progressive
Specialty Insurance Company's automobile policy issued to Joan H. Barrett and was in effect at
the time of the subject accident on November 30, 2013.
14. Further, it is believed and therefore averred that Defendant Caleb Spitzer was
insured under an automobile insurance policy issued by Defendant Nationwide Insurance
Company and he is being afforded a defense and coverage under the liability provisions of that
Nationwide policy.
15. It is believed and therefore averred that Defendants Samantha Margo, Kaitlyn
Anderson, Elizabeth Turner and Cyle Starner -Moore have filed and /or made a claim for their
personal injuries allegedly sustained in the accident against the liability provisions of Defendant
Nationwide Insurance Company's automobile policy under which Defendant Caleb Spitzer is
insured
16. It is believed, and therefore averred, that at the time of the November 30, 2013
single vehicle accident, the 2001 Ford Taurus was being driven by Defendant Caleb Spitzer.
17. At all times material hereto, Defendant Caleb Spitzer was not listed as an
authorized driver under the automobile policy attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
18. At all times material hereto, Defendant Caleb Spitzer did not have permission of
the owner, Joan Barrett, of the 2001 Ford Taurus, to operate said vehicle.
4
19. At all times relevant hereto, Defendant Caleb Spitzer took and /or drove the
subject vehicle without the knowledge or permission of Defendant Joan H. Barrett.
20. At all times relevant hereto, the pertinent part of the aforesaid automobile policy
issued to Joan Barrett by Plaintiff Progressive Specialty Insurance Company plainly and
unambiguously states on page 3 as follows: "Insured Person" means: (2) any person with respect
to an accident arising out of that person's use of a covered auto with the permission of you or a
relative.
21. In view of the facts of the subject accident and in view of the plain and
unambiguous language of Plaintiff's aforesaid automobile policy, there is no liability coverage
for Defendant Caleb Spitzer under the Plaintiff Progressive Specialty Insurance Company's
automobile policy, because Caleb Spitzer did not have permission to operate the vehicle involved
in the subject accident.
22. Based upon the foregoing, Plaintiff Progressive Specialty Insurance Company has
no duty to defend or indemnify Defendant Caleb Spitzer.
23. Plaintiff Progressive Specialty Insurance Company has notified its named insured
under the aforesaid policy, Defendant Joan H. Barrett, and Defendants Caleb Spitzer, Kaitlyn
Anderson, Samantha Margo, Elizabeth Turner, and Cyle Starner -Moore that there is a pending
coverage issue arising out of the fact that Defendant Caleb Spitzer was operating the Barrett
vehicle without permission and the current case investigation is being done under a reservation of
rights. (Copies of the reservation of rights letters are collectively attached hereto as Exhibit 3).
24. Plaintiff Progressive Specialty Insurance Company believes, and, therefore, avers
that all persons and entities that have any interest in the controversy presented by this declaratory
5
e
judgment action, or that may be affected by the determination of This Honorable Court, have
been named as parties to the action.
25. The aforesaid allegations create an actual case and controversy over which this
Court has jurisdiction.
26. A Declaratory Judgment or Decree by This Honorable Court would terminate the
uncertainty and /or controversy giving rise to this action.
27. A determination of this action for declaratory relief by This Honorable Court
would settle the controversy between the parties and afford relief from uncertainty and insecurity
with respect to the rights, status, and other legal relations of the parties involved herein.
28. Pursuant to the provisions of the Declaratory Judgment Act, 42 Pa. C.S.A.
§7531, et. seq., Plaintiff Progressive Specialty Insurance Company seeks a declaration that it
owes no duty to defend or indemnify Defendant Caleb Spitzer, for the claims and/or causes of
action of Defendants Samantha Margo, Kaitlyn Anderson, Elizabeth Turner and Cyle Starner -
Moore.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Progressive Specialty Insurance Company respectfully requests
that This Honorable Court enter Judgment, granting the following relief:
A. A Decree determining the controversy as alleged herein;
B. A Decree declaring that Plaintiff Progressive Specialty Insurance
Company has no duty to defend or indemnify Defendant Caleb Spitzer for
any claims or causes of actions of Defendants Samantha Margo, Kaitlyn
Anderson, Elizabeth Turner and Cyle Starner - Moore; and
C. A stay of the proceedings in the actions, if any, filed by Defendants
6
Samantha Margo, Kaitlyn Anderson, Elizabeth Turner and Cyle Starner -
Moore until disposition of the issues raised herein; and
D. Such other relief as the Court may deem appropriate

PENNSYLVANIA AUTO POLICY
INSURING AGREEMENT
In return for your payment of the premium, we agree to insure you subject to all the
terms, conditions, and limitations of this policy. We will insure you for the coverages
and the limits of liability shown on this policy's declarations page. Your policy consists
of the policy contract, your insurance application, the declarations page, and all en-
dorsements to this policy.
GENERAL DEFINITIONS
The following definitions apply throughout the policy. Defined terms are printed in
boldface type and have the same meaning whether in the singular, plural, or any
other form.
1. "Additional auto" means an auto you become the owner of during the policy pe-
riod that does not permanently replace an auto shown on the declarations page
if:
a. we insure all other autos you own;
b the additional auto is not covered by any other insurance policy;
c. you notify us within 30 days of becoming the owner of the additional auto;
and
d you pay any additional premium due.
An additional auto will have the broadest coverage we provide for any auto
shown on the declarations page. If you ask us to insure an additional auto
more than 30 days after you become the owner, any coverage we provide will
begin at the time you request coverage.
2. "Auto" means a land motor vehicle:
a. of the private passenger, pickup body, or cargo van type;
b. designed for operation principally upon public roads;
c. with at least four wheels; and
d. with a gross vehicle weight rating of 12,000 pounds or less, according to the
manufacturer's specifications.
However, "auto" does not include step -vans, parcel delivery vans, or cargo cut-
away vans or other vans with cabs separate from the cargo area.
3. "Auto business" means the business of selling, leasing, repairing, parking, stor-
ing, servicing, delivering, or testing vehicles.
4. "Bodily injury" means bodily harm, sickness, or disease, including death that re-
sults from bodily harm, sickness, or disease.
5. "Covered auto" means:
a. any auto or trailer shown on the declarations page for the coverages appli-
cable to that auto or trailer;
b. any additional auto;
c. any replacement auto; or
d. a trailer owned by you.
1
6. "Declarations page" means the document showing your coverages, limits of li-
ability, covered autos, premium, and other policy - related information. The decla-
rations page may also be referred to as the Auto Insurance Coverage Summary.
7. "Occupying" means in, on, entering, or exiting.
8. `Property damage" means physical damage to, destruction of, or loss of use of,
tangible property.
9. "Relative" means:
a. a person residing in the same household as you, and related to you by blood,
marriage, or adoption, and includes a ward, stepchild, or foster child;
b. a minor child in the custody of:
(i) you; or
(ii) a person residing in your household who is related to you; and
c. your unmarried dependent children who are temporarily away from home if
they intend to continue to reside in your household.
10. "Replacement auto" means an auto that permanently replaces an auto shown
on the declarations page. A replacement auto will have the same coverage as
the auto it replaces if the replacement auto is not covered by any other insurance
policy. However, if the auto being replaced had coverage under Part IV - Damage
To A Vehicle, such coverage will apply to the replacement auto only during the first
30 days after you become the owner unless you notify us within that 30 -day period
that you want us to extend coverage beyond the initial 30 days. If the auto being
replaced did not have coverage under Part IV - Damage To A Vehicle, such cover-
age may be added, but the replacement auto will have no coverage under Part IV
until you notify us of the replacement auto and ask us to add the coverage.
11. `Trailer" means a non - motorized trailer, including a farm wagon or farm imple-
ment, designed to be towed on public roads by an auto and not being used:
a. for commercial purposes;

of the loss.
PART I -LIABILITY TO OTHERS
INSURING AGREEMENT

property damage for which an insured person becomes legally responsible be-

our request.
EXCLUSIONS - READ THE FOLLOWING EXCLUSIONS CAREFULLY. IF AN
EXCLUSION APPLIES, COVERAGE WILL NOT BE AFFORDED UNDER THIS
PART I.
Coverage under this Part I, including our duty to defend, will not apply to any insured
person for:
1. bodily injury or property damage arising out of the ownership, maintenance,
or use of any vehicle or trailer while being used to carry persons or property for
compensation or a fee, including, but not limited to, pickup or delivery of maga-
zines, newspapers, food, or any other products. This exclusion does not apply to
shared - expense car pools;
2. any liability assumed under any contract or agreement by you or a relative;
3. bodily injury to an employee of that insured person arising out of or within the
course of employment. This exclusion does not apply to domestic employees if
benefits are neither paid nor required to be provided under workers' compensa-
tion, disability benefits, or similar laws;
4. bodily injury or property damage arising out of an accident involving any ve-
hicle while being maintained or used by a person while employed or engaged in
any auto business. This exclusion does not apply to you, a relative, or an agent
or employee of you or a relative, when using a covered auto;
3
5. bodily injury or property damage resulting from, or sustained during practice or
preparation for:
a. any pre- arranged or orgarized racing, stunting, speed, or demolition contest

6. bodily injury or property damage due to a nuclear reaction or radiation;

8. any obligation for which the United States Government is liable under the Federal
Tort Claims Act;
9. bodily injury or property damage caused by an intentional act of that insured
person, or at the direction of that insured person, even if the actual injury or
damage is different than that which was intended or expected;
10. property damage to any property owned by, rented to, being transported by,
used by, or in the charge of that insured person. This exclusion does not apply
to a rented residence or a rented garage;
11. bodily injury or property damage arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or
use of any vehicle owned by you or furnished or available for your regular use,
other than a covered auto for which this coverage has been purchased;
12. bodily injury or property damage arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or
use of any vehicle owned by a relative or furnished or available for the regular use of
a relative, other than a covered auto for which this coverage has been purchased.
This exclusion does not apply to your maintenance or use of such vehicle;
13. bodily injury or property damage arising out of your or a relative's use of a ve-
hicle, other than a covered auto, without the permission of the owner of the ve-
hicle or the person in lawful possession of the vehicle;
14. bodily injury or property damage arising out of the use of a covered auto while

sion does not apply to the operation of a covered auto by you or a relative;
15. punitive or exemplary damages; or
16. bodily injury or property damage caused by, or reasonably expected to result from,
a criminal act or omission of that insured person. This exclusion applies regardless
of whether that insured person is actually charged with, or convicted of, a crime. For
purposes of this exclusion, criminal acts or omissions do not include traffic violations.
LIMITS OF LIABILITY
The limit of liability shown on the declarations page for liability coverage is the most
we will pay regardless of the number of:
1. claims made;
2. covered autos;
3. insured persons;
4. lawsuits brought;
4
5. vehicles involved in the accident; or
6. premiums paid.
If your declarations page shows a split limit:
1. the amount shown for "each person" is the most we will pay for all damages due
to bodily injury to one person resulting from any one accident;
2. subject to the "each person" limit, the amount shown for "each accident' is the
most we will pay for all damages due to bodily injury sustained by two or more
persons in any one accident; and
3. the amount shown for "property damage" is the most we will pay for the total of all
property damage resulting from any one accident.
The "each person" limit of liability applies to the total of all claims made for bodily
injury to a person and all claims of others derived from such bodily injury, in-
cluding, but not limited to, emotional injury or mental anguish resulting from the
bodily injury of another or from witnessing the bodily injury to another, loss of
society, loss of companionship, loss of services, loss of consortium, and wrong-
ful death.
If the declarations page shows that "combined single limit' or "CSL" applies, the
amount shown is the most we will pay for the total of all damages resulting from any
one accident. However, without changing this limit of liability, we will comply with any
law that requires us to provide any separate limits.
No one is entitled to duplicate payments for the same elements of damages.
Any payment to a person under this Part I will be reduced by any payment to that per-
son under Part III - Uninsured /Underinsured Motorist Coverage.
If multiple auto policies issued by us are in effect for you, we will pay no more than the
highest limit of liability for this coverage available under any one policy.
An auto and attached trailer are considered one auto. Therefore, the limits of liability
will not be increased for an accident involving an auto that has an attached trailer.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAWS
When we certify this policy as proof of financial responsibility, this policy will com-
ply with the law to the extent required. The insured person must reimburse us if we
make a payment that we would not have made if this policy was not certified as proof
of financial responsibility.
OTHER INSURANCE
If there is any other applicable liability insurance or bond, we will pay only our share of the
damages. Our share is the proportion that our limit of liability bears to the total of all appli-
5
4
cable limits. However, any insurance we provide for a vehicle or trailer, other than a cov-
ered auto, will be excess over any other collectible insurance, self- insurance, or bond.
OUT-OF-STATE COVERAGE
If an accident to which this Part I applies occurs in any state, territory, or possession
of the United States of America or any province or territory of Canada, other than the
one in which a covered auto is principally garaged, and the state, province, territory,
or possession has:
1. a financial responsibility or similar law requiring limits of liability for bodily injury
or property damage higher than the limits shown on the declarations page, this
policy will provide the higher limits; or
2. a compulsory insurance or similar law requiring a non - resident to maintain insur-
ance whenever the non - resident uses an auto in that state, province, territory, or
possession, this policy will provide the greater of:
a. the required minimum amounts and types of coverage; or
b. the limits of liability under this policy.
PART II - FIRST PARTY BENEFITS COVERAGE
INSURING AGREEMENT - FIRST PARTY BENEFITS COVERAGE
If you pay the premium for this coverage, we will pay the following First Parry Benefits,
subject to the limit of liability shown on your declarations page, for loss or expense
sustained by an insured person because of bodily injury caused by an accident and
arising out of the maintenance or use of a motor vehicle:
1. medical expenses;
2. income loss;
3. funeral benefit; and
4. accidental death benefit.
INSURING AGREEMENT - COMBINATION FIRST PARTY BENEFITS COVERAGE
If you pay the premium for this coverage, we will pay medical expenses, income
loss, funeral benefit, and accidental death benefit, subject to the combined single
limit of liability shown on your declarations page, for each insured person who
sustains bodily injury caused by an accident and arising out of the maintenance or

PRIORITY OF POLICIES
If there is other First Party Benefits Coverage, we will pay benefits under this Part II
in accordance with the order of priorities set forth by the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle
Financial Responsibility Law, as amended. We will not pay benefits if there is another
insurer at a higher level of priority. The order of priority is:
First The insurer providing benefits to the insured person as a named insured.
Second The insurer providing benefits to the insured person as a relative who is not
a named insured under another policy providing coverage under the Penn-
sylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law.
Third The insurer of the motor vehicle which the insured person is occupying at
the time of the accident.
Fourth The insurer providing benefits on any motor vehicle involved in the accident
if the insured person is:
a. not occupying a motor vehicle; and
b. not entitled to payment of first party benefits under any other motor ve-
hicle policy.
An unoccupied parked motor vehicle is not a motor vehicle involved in an
accident within this Fourth priority unless it was parked in a manner as to cre-
ate an unreasonable risk of injury.
If two or more policies have equal priority within the highest applicable priority level:
1. The insurer against whom the claim is first made shall process and pay the claim
as if wholly responsible. The insurer is thereafter entitled to recover contribution
on a pro rata basis from any other insurer for the benefits paid and the costs of
processing the claim. If contribution is sought among insurers responsible under
the Fourth priority, proration shall be based on the number of involved motor ve-
hicles.
2. If we are the insurer against whom the claim is first made, our payment to or for
an insured person will not exceed the applicable limit of liability for coverage un-
der this Part II shown on the declarations page, or if you have purchased Ex-
traordinary Medical Benefits Coverage, the applicable limit of liability.
3. The maximum recovery under all policies may not exceed the amount payable
under the policy with the highest dollar limits of benefits.

the owner or operator of the uninsured motor vehicle or underinsured motor ve-
hicle, to the extent of our payment.
No judgment or settlement for damages arising out of a lawsuit brought against an

LIMITS OF LIABILITY
The limit of liability shown on the declarations page for Uninsured /Underinsured Mo-
torist Coverage is the most we will pay regardless of the number of:
1. claims made;
2. covered autos, unless you have selected stacked coverage;
3. insured persons;
4. lawsuits brought;
5. vehicles involved in the accident; or
6. premiums paid.
Nonstacked Limits of Liability
If you have selected nonstacked coverage under this Part III, the following shall also
apply:
If the declarations page shows a split limit:
1. the amount shown for "each person" is the most we will pay for all damages due
to bodily injury to one person; and
13
2. subject to the "each person" limit, the amount shown for "each accident" is the
most we will pay for all damages due to bodily injury sustained by two or more
persons in any one accident.
The "each person" limit of liability includes the total of all claims made for bodily injury
to an insured person and all claims of others derived from such bodily injury, includ-
ing, but not limited to, emotional injury or mental anguish resulting from the bodily in-
jury of another or from witnessing the bodily injury to another, loss of society, loss of
companionship, loss of services, loss of consortium, and wrongful death.
If the declarations page shows that "combined single limit" or "CSL" applies, the
amount shown is the most we will pay for the total of all damages resulting from any
one accident. However, without changing this total limit of liability, we will comply with
any law that requires us to provide any separate limits.
Stacked Limits of Liability
If you have selected stacked coverage under this Part III, the following shall also apply
to bodily injury sustained by you or a relative:
1. If you or a relative sustain bodily injury while occupying a covered auto, the
limit of liability shall be the limit available under Nonstacked Limits of Liability de-
scribed above and the limit shown on the declarations page multiplied by the
number of covered autos that are not involved in the accident.
2. If you or a relative sustain bodily injury while not occupying a covered auto,
the limit of liability shall be the limit shown on the declarations page multiplied by
the number of covered autos.
Stacked Limits of Liability shall not increase the limit of liability applicable to any in-
sured person other than you or a relative. The nonstacked limits of liability will apply
to any insured person other than you or a relative.
As with nonstacked limits, the "each person" stacked limit of liability includes the total
of all claims made for bodily injury to an insured person and all claims of others de-
rived from such bodily injury, including, but not limited to, emotional injury or mental
anguish resulting from the bodily injury of another or from witnessing the bodily in-
jury to another, loss of society, loss of companionship, loss of services, loss of consor-
tium, and wrongful death.
Limits of Liability Applicable to Stacked and Nonstacked Coverage
In determining the amount payable under this Part III, the amount of damages that an
insured person is entitled to recover for bodily injury will be reduced by all sums:
1. paid because of bodily injury by or on behalf of any persons or organizations that
may be legally responsible; and
2. paid or payable because of bodily injury under any of the following or similar laws:
a. workers' compensation law; or
b. disability benefits law.
14
However, if an insured person enters into a settlement agreement for an amount less
than the sum of the limits of liability under all applicable bodily injury liability bonds and
policies, our limit of liability for Underinsured Motorist Coverage shall not exceed the
difference between the damages sustained by the insured person and the sum of the
applicable bodily injury liability limits.
The limits of liability under this Part III shall be reduced by all sums paid under Part I -
Liability To Others.
No one will be entitled to duplicate payments for the same elements of damages.
If multiple auto policies issued by us are in effect for you, we will pay no more than the
highest limit of liability for this coverage available under any one policy.
OTHER INSURANCE
If there is other applicable similar insurance available under more than one policy or
provision of coverage, the following priorities of recovery apply:
First The uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage applicable to the motor ve-
hicle the insured person was occupying at the time of the accident.
Second Any other policy affording uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage to the
insured person.
If two or more policies have equal priority, the insurer against whom the claim is first
made shall process and pay the claim as if wholly responsible. The insurer is there-
after entitled to recover contribution on a pro rata basis from any other insurer for the
benefits paid and the costs of processing the claim.
If nonstacked coverage is shown on the declarations page, the following additional
provisions apply:
1. When there is insurance available under the First priority:
a. the limit of liability applicable to the motor vehicle the insured person was
occupying, under the policy in the First priority, shall first be exhausted;
and
b. the maximum recovery under all policies in the Second priority shall not ex-
ceed the amount by which the highest limit for any one motor vehicle under
any one policy in the Second priority exceeds the limit applicable under the
policy in the First priority; and

mum recovery under all policies in the Second priority shall not exceed the high-
est applicable limit for any one motor vehicle under any one policy.

the most we will pay is $1,000 plus the amount of ACPE you purchased;
b a trailer is the limit of liability shown on the declarations page for that trailer. If
the trailer is not shown on the declarations page, the limit of liability is $500.
2. Payments for loss to a covered auto, non -owned auto, or custom parts or
equipment are subject to the following provisions:
a. If coverage applies to a non -owned auto, we will provide the broadest cov-
erage applicable to any covered auto shown on the declarations page.
b. If you have elected a Stated Amount for a covered auto, the Stated Amount
is the most we will pay for all loss to that covered auto, including its custom
parts or equipment.
c. Coverage for custom parts or equipment will not cause our limit of liability
for loss to an auto under this Part IV to be increased to an amount in excess of
the actual cash value of the auto, including its custom parts or equipment.
d. In determining the amount necessary to repair damaged property to its pre -
loss condition, the amount to be paid by us:
0 will not exceed the prevailing competitive labor rates charged in the area
20
where the property is to be repaired and the cost of repair or replacement
parts and equipment, as reasonably determined by us; and
(ii) will be based on the cost of repair or replacement parts and equipment
which may be new, reconditioned, remanufactured, or used, including,
but not limited to:
(a) original manufacturer parts or equipment; and
(b) nonoriginal manufacturer parts or equipment.
e. To determine the amount necessary to repair or replace the damaged proper-
ty as referred to in subsection 1, the total cost of necessary repair or replace-
ment may be reduced by unrepaired prior damage. Unrepaired prior damage
includes broken, cracked, or missing parts; rust; dents; scrapes; gouges; and
peeling paint. The reduction for unrepaired prior damage is the cost of labor,
parts, and materials necessary to repair or replace damage, deterioration, de-
fects, or wear and tear on exterior body parts, windshields and other glass,
wheels, and paint, that existed prior to the accident and that is eliminated as
a result of the repair or replacement of property damaged in the loss.
f. To determine the amount necessary to repair or replace the damaged proper-
ty as referred to in subsection 1, an adjustment may be made for betterment
or depreciation and physical condition on:
(i) batteries;
(ii) tires;
(iii) engines and transmissions, if the engine has greater than 80,000 miles; and
(iv) any other mechanical parts that are nonfunctioning or inoperative.
We will not make an adjustment for the labor costs associated with the re-
placement or repair of these parts.
g. The actual cash value is determined by the market value, age, and condition
of the vehicle at the time the loss occurs.
3. No deductible will apply to a loss to window glass when the glass is repaired in-
stead of replaced.
4. Duplicate recovery for the same elements of damages is not permitted.
PAYMENT OF LOSS
We may, at our option:
1. pay for the loss in money; or
2. repair or replace the damaged or stolen property.
At our expense, we may return any recovered stolen property to you or to the address
shown on the declarations page, with payment for any damage resulting from the
theft. We may keep all or part of the property at the agreed or appraised value.
We may settle any loss with you or the owner or lienholder of the property.
NO BENEFIT TO BAILEE
Coverage under this Part IV will not directly or indirectly benefit any carrier or other
bailee for hire.
21
y
LOSS PAYABLE CLAUSE
Payment under this Part IV for a loss to a covered auto will be made according to
your interest and the interest of any lienholder shown on the declarations page or
designated by you. At our option, payment may be made to both jointly, or to either
separately. Either way, we will protect the interest of both. However, if the covered au-
to is not a total loss, we may make payment to you and the repairer of the auto.
Protection of the lienholder's financial interest will not be affected by any act or omis-
sion by any person entitled to coverage under this policy. However, protection under
this clause does not apply:
1. in any case of conversion, embezzlement, secretion, or willful damaging or de-
struction, of the covered auto by or at the direction of you, a relative, or the own-
er of the covered auto; or
2. to any loss caused by, or reasonably expected to result from, a criminal act or
omission of you, a relative, or the owner of the covered auto. This applies re-
gardless of whether you, the relative, or the owner of the covered auto is actu-
ally charged with, or convicted of, a crime.
If this policy is cancelled, nonrenewed, or voided, the interest of any lienholder under
this agreement will also terminate.
When we make payment to a lienholder for loss under this policy, we will be subro-
gated to the rights of the party we pay, to the extent of our payment. When we pay a
lienholder for a loss for which you are not covered, we are entitled to the lienholder's
right of recovery against you to the extent of our payment. Our right to subrogation will
not impair the lienholder's right to recover the full amount of its claim.
OTHER SOURCES OF RECOVERY
If other sources of recovery also cover the loss, we will pay only our share of the
loss. Our share is the proportion that our limit of liability bears to the total of all appli-
cable limits. However, any insurance we provide for a non -owned auto, or trailer not
shown on the declarations page, will be excess over any other collectible source of
recovery including, but not limited to:
1. any coverage provided by the owner of the non -owned auto or trailer;
2. any other applicable physical damage insurance; and
3. any other source of recovery applicable to the loss.
APPRAISAL
If we cannot agree with you on the amount of a loss, then we or you may demand an
appraisal of the loss. Within 30 days of any demand for an appraisal, each party shall
appoint a competent and impartial appraiser and shall notify the other party of that ap-
praiser's identity. The appraisers will determine the amount of loss. If they fail to agree,
the disagreement will be submitted to a qualified and impartial umpire chosen by the
22
a
appraisers. If the two appraisers are unable to agree upon an umpire within 15 days,
we or you may request that a judge of a court of record, in the county where you re-
side, select an umpire. The appraisers and umpire will determine the amount of loss.
The amount of loss agreed to by both appraisers, or by one appraiser and the umpire,
will be binding. You will pay your appraiser's fees and expenses. We will pay our ap-
praiser's fees and expenses. All other expenses of the appraisal, including payment of
the umpire if one is selected, will be shared equally between us and you. Neither we
nor you waive any rights under this policy by agreeing to an appraisal.
PART V - ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE COVERAGE

tative to provide the following services when necessary due to a covered emergency:
1. towing of a covered disabled auto to the nearest qualified repair facility; and

If a covered disabled auto is towed to any place other than the nearest qualified re-
pair facility, you will be responsible for any additional charges incurred.

tance and towing services, other than one of our authorized service representatives,
we will pay only reasonable charges, as determined by us, for:
1. towing of a covered disabled auto to the nearest qualified repair facility; and
2. labor on a covered disabled auto at the place of disablement;
which is necessary due to a covered emergency.
OTHER INSURANCE
Any coverage provided under this Part V for service rendered by an unauthorized ser-
vice provider will be excess over any other collectible insurance or towing protection
coverage.
PART VI - DUTIES IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR LOSS
For coverage to apply under this policy, you or the person seeking coverage must
promptly report each accident or loss even if you or the person seeking coverage is
not at fault. You or the person seeking coverage must provide us with all accident/loss
information including time, place, and how the accident or loss happened. You or the
person seeking coverage must also obtain and provide us the names and addresses
of all persons involved in the accident or loss, the names and addresses of any wit-
nesses, and the license plate numbers of the vehicles involved.
If you or the person seeking coverage cannot identify the owner or operator of a ve-
hicle involved in the accident, or if theft or vandalism has occurred, you or the person
seeking coverage must notify the police within 24 hours or as soon as practicable.
A person seeking coverage must:
1. cooperate with us in any matter concerning a claim or lawsuit;
24
2. provide any written proof of loss we may reasonably require;
3. allow us to take signed and recorded statements, including sworn statements and
examinations under oath, which we may conduct outside the presence of you or
any other person claiming coverage, and answer all reasonable questions we
may ask as often as we may reasonably require;
4. promptly call to notify us about any claim or lawsuit and send us any and all legal
papers relating to the claim or suit;
5. attend hearings and trials as we require;
6. take reasonable steps after a loss to protect the covered auto, or any other ve-
hicle for which coverage is sought, from further loss. We will pay reasonable ex-
penses incurred in providing that protection. If failure to provide such protection re-
sults in further loss, any additional damages will not be covered under this policy;
7. allow us to have the damaged covered auto, or any other damaged vehicle for
which coverage is sought, inspected and appraised before its repair or disposal;
8. submit to medical examinations at our expense by doctors we select as often as
we may reasonably require;
9. submit to vocational rehabilitation examinations at our expense by rehabilitation
specialists we select as often as we may reasonably require; and
10. authorize us to obtain medical and other records.
PART VII - GENERAL PROVISIONS
POLICY PERIOD AND TERRITORY
This policy applies only to accidents and losses occurring during the policy period shown
on the declarations page and that occur within a state, territory, or possession of the
United States of America, or a province or territory of Canada, or while a covered auto
or trailer shown on the declarations page is being transported between their ports.
CHANGES
This policy contract, your insurance application (which is made a part of this policy as if
attached hereto), the declarations page, and all endorsements to this policy issued by
us, contain all the agreements between you and us. Subject to the following, the terms
of this policy may not be changed or waived except by an endorsement issued by us.
The premium for this policy is based on information we received from you and other
sources. You agree to cooperate with us in determining if this information is correct
and complete, and to notify us if it changes during the policy period. If this information
is incorrect, incomplete, or changes during the policy period, you agree that we may
adjust your premium accordingly. Changes that may result in a premium adjustment
are contained in our rates and rules. These include, but are not limited to, you or a
relative obtaining a driver's license or operator's permit, or changes in:
1. the number, type, or use classification of covered autos;
2. operators using covered autos;
3. an operator's marital status;
25
4. the place of principal garaging of any covered auto;
5. coverage, deductibles, or limits of liability; or
6. rating territory or discount eligibility.
The coverage provided in your policy may be changed only by the issuance of a new
policy or an endorsement by us. However, if during the policy period we broaden any
coverage afforded under the current edition of your policy without additional premium
charge, that change will automatically apply to your policy as of the date the coverage
change is implemented in your state.
If you ask us to delete a vehicle from this policy, no coverage will apply to that vehicle
as of the date and time you ask us to delete it.
DUTY TO REPORT CHANGES
You must promptly notify us when:
1. your mailing or residence address changes;
2. the principal garaging address for a covered auto or a trailer shown on the dec-
larations page changes;
3. there is a change with respect to the residents in your household or the persons
who regularly operate a covered auto;
4. an operator's marital status changes; or
5. you or a relative obtain a driver's license or operator's permit.
SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS
We may use estimating, appraisal, or injury evaluation systems to assist us in adjusting
claims under this policy and to assist us in determining the amount of damages, expens-
es, or loss payable under this policy. Such systems may be developed by us or a third
party and may include computer software, databases, and specialized technology.
TERMS OF POLICY CONFORMED TO STATUTES
If any provision of this policy fails to conform to the statutes of the state listed on your
application as your residence, the provision shall be deemed amended to conform to
such statutes. All other provisions shall be given full force and effect. Any disputes as
to the coverages provided or the provisions of this policy shall be governed by the law
of the state listed on your application as your residence.
TRANSFER
This policy may not be transferred to another person without our written consent.
However, if a named insured shown on the declarations page dies, this policy will
provide coverage until the end of the policy period for the legal representative of the
named insured, while acting as such, and for persons covered under this policy on the
date of the named insured's death.
26
FRAUD OR MISREPRESENTATION
This policy was issued in reliance upon the information provided on your insurance
application. We may void this policy at any time during the first 59 days, including after
the occurrence of an accident or loss, if you:
1. made incorrect statements or representations to us with regard to any material
fact or circumstance;
2. concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance; or
3. engagedin fraudulent conduct;
at the time of application. This means that we will not be liable for any claims or dam-
ages that would otherwise be covered.
We may deny coverage for an accident or loss if you or a person seeking coverage
has knowingly concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance, or en-
gaged in fraudulent conduct, at the time of application, at any time during the policy
period, or in connection with the presentation or settlement of a claim.
PAYMENT OF PREMIUM AND FEES
If your initial premium payment is by check, draft, electronic funds transfer, or simi-
lar form of remittance, coverage under this policy is conditioned on payment to us by
the financial institution. If the financial institution upon presentment does not honor the
check, draft, electronic funds transfer, or similar form of remittance, this policy may, at
our option, be deemed void from its inception. This means we will not be liable under
this policy for any claims or damages that would otherwise be covered if the check,
draft, electronic funds transfer, or similar form of remittance had been honored by the
financial institution. Any action by us to present the remittance for payment more than
once shall not affect our right to void this policy.
In addition to premium, fees may be charged on your policy. We may charge fees
for installment payments, late payments, and other transactions. Payments made on
your policy will be applied first to fees, then to premium due.
CANCELLATION
You may cancel this policy during the policy period by calling or writing us and stating
the future date you wish the cancellation to be effective.
We may cancel this policy during the policy period by mailing a notice of cancellation
to the named insured shown on the declarations page at the last known address ap-
pearing in our records.
We will give at least 15 days notice of cancellation if:
1. we cancel during the first 59 days of the initial policy period; or
2. the policy is cancelled for nonpayment of premium.
27
We will give at least 60 days notice of cancellation in all other cases.
We may cancel this policy for any reason if the notice is mailed within the first 59 days
of the initial policy period.
After this policy is in effect for more than 59 days, or if this is a renewal or continuation
policy, we may cancel only for one or more of the following reasons:
1. nonpayment of premium;
2. material misrepresentation or fraud by you with respect to any material fact in the
procurement or renewal of this policy;
3. loss of driving privileges through suspension or revocation of an operator's license
or motor vehicle registration issued to the named insured;
4. your place of residence or the state of registration or license of a covered auto is
changed to a state or country in which we do not accept applications for the insur-
ance provided by this policy;
5. we have agreed to issue a new policy within the same or an affiliated company; or
6. any other reason permitted by law.
Proof of mailing will be sufficient proof of notice. If this policy is cancelled, coverage will
not be provided as of the effective date and time shown in the notice of cancellation.
For purposes of cancellation, this policy is neither severable nor divisible. Any cancel-
lation will be effective for all coverages for all persons and all vehicles.
CANCELLATION REFUND
Upon cancellation, you may be entitled to a premium refund. However, our making or
offering of a refund is not a condition of cancellation.
If this policy is cancelled, any refund due will be computed on a daily pro rata basis.
However, we will retain a cancellation fee if this policy is cancelled at your request or
if cancellation is for nonpayment of premium. A cancellation fee will be charged only
during the initial policy period.
NONRENEWAL
If neither we nor one of our affiliates offers to renew or continue this policy, we will mail
notice of nonrenewal to the named insured shown on the declarations page at the
last known address appearing in our records. Proof of mailing will be sufficient proof
of notice. If nonrenewal is due to nonpayment of premium or loss of driving privileges
through suspension or revocation of the named insured's operator's license or motor
vehicle registration, notice will be mailed at least 15 days before the end of the policy
period. If nonrenewal is due to any other reason, notice will be mailed at least 60 days
before the end of the policy period.
28
AUTOMATIC TERMINATION
If we or an affiliate offers to renew or continue this policy and you or your represen-
tative does not accept, this policy will automatically terminate at the end of the current
policy period. Failure to pay the required renewal or continuation premium when due
will mean that you have not accepted our offer.
If a covered auto is sold or transferred to someone other than you or a relative, any
insurance provided by this policy will terminate as to that covered auto on the effec-
tive date of the sale or transfer.
LEGAL ACTION AGAINST US
We may not be sued unless there is full compliance with all the terms of this policy.
Any action brought against us pursuant to coverage under Part III - Uninsured/Under-
insured Motorist Coverage must be brought in the county in which the person seeking
benefits resides, or in the United States District Court serving that county.
We may not be sued for payment under Part I - Liability To Others until the obligation
of an insured person under Part I to pay is finally determined either by judgment after
trial against that person or by written agreement of the insured person, the claimant,
and us. No one will have any right to make us a party to a lawsuit to determine the li-
ability of an insured person.
If we retain salvage, we have no duty to preserve or otherwise retain the salvage for
any purpose, including evidence for any civil or criminal proceeding.
OUR RIGHTS TO RECOVER PAYMENT
We are entitled to the rights of recovery that the insured person to whom payment was
made has against another, to the extent of our payment. That insured person may be
required to sign documents related to the recovery and must do whatever else we re-
quire to help us exercise those recovery rights, and do nothing after an accident or
loss to prejudice those rights.
When an insured person has been paid by us and also recovers from another, the
amount recovered will be held by the insured person in trust for us and reimbursed to
us to the extent of our payment. However, this shall not apply to amounts paid by us
under Part II - First Parry Benefits Coverage unless the payments are subject to the
Workers' Compensation Act. If we are not reimbursed, we may pursue recovery of
that amount directly against that insured person.
If an insured person recovers from another without our written consent, the insured
person's right to payment under any affected coverage will no longer exist.
29
If we elect to exercise our rights of recovery against another, we will also attempt to
recover any deductible incurred by an insured person under this policy unless we are
specifically instructed by that person not to pursue the deductible. We have no obliga-
tion to pursue recovery against another for any loss not covered by this policy.
We reserve the right to compromise or settle the deductible and property damage
claims against the responsible parties for less than the full amount. We reserve the
right to incur reasonable expenses and attorney fees in pursuit of the recovery.
If the total recovery is less than the total of our payment and the deductible, we will
reduce reimbursement of the deductible based on the proportion that the actual re-
covery bears to the total of our payment and the deductible. Reimbursement of the
deductible will also be reduced by a proportionate share of collection expenses and
attorney fees incurred in connection with these recovery efforts.
These provisions will be applied in accordance with state law.
JOINT AND INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS
If there is more than one named insured on this policy, any named insured may can-
cel or change this policy. The action of one named insured will be binding on all per-
sons provided coverage under this policy. Any rejection of coverage available under
Part 111 - Uninsured /Underinsured Motorist Coverage should be made by the first
named insured.
BANKRUPTCY
The bankruptcy or insolvency of an insured person will not relieve us of any obliga-
tions under this policy.
