This alphabetical index identifies various items and their page-number location in AG 00 01–Agricultural Capital Assets (Output Policy) Coverage Form.
This endorsement allows the named insured to customize deductibles. They can be modified by location, building, property covered, and cause of loss. The maximum deductible in a single occurrence is the highest deductible that applies, even if multiple locations and different causes of loss are involved. This endorsement is not used to modify percentage deductible arrangements for earthquake, flood, windstorm, hail, theft, or vandalism.
Related Article: AG 03 01–Multiple Deductibles
This endorsement adds a windstorm or hail percentage deductible. The schedule explains the properties it applies to, and the rest of the endorsement explains how the deductible is calculated.
AG 00 01 specifically excludes loss or damage due to water that backs up from a sewer or drain, sump pump system failure, and from water that seeps or flows through underground structures such as foundations and basements. This endorsement modifies the exclusion and covers loss or damage to covered property due to water or waterborne material for a $50,000 limit per occurrence. Higher limits are available. When a sump pump fails because of a power failure, coverage is provided, but only if AG 04 04–Utility Services–Direct Damage is attached, and power failure coverage is provided.
AG 00 01 excludes property of others the named insured transports or hauls as a carrier for hire. This endorsement deletes that exclusion on the property for which the named insured is legally liable as a carrier for hire as long as the property is in the named insured’s care, custody, and control and in or on vehicles it operates. This is an extension of Property In Transit Additional Coverage.
AG 00 01 excludes most vehicles as covered property. This endorsement amends the coverage form and provides limited coverage for certain listed and described vehicles, subject to specific limits and deductibles.
Related Article: AG 04 03–Vehicle Physical Damage Coverage
This endorsement eliminates the utility service exclusion by
providing coverage for loss or damage caused when off-site utility services
fail. The services that can be covered are water, communications (with or
without overhead lines), and power supply (with or without overhead lines). Any
combination of services may be covered. The limit is part of, and not in
addition to, the limit of insurance and is an extension of coverage, not an
additional coverage. The term
“transmission lines” is expanded to include distribution lines.
This endorsement covers the named insured's actual loss of
business income and/or extra expense incurred related to its electronic
commerce described on the endorsement schedule with respect to its electronic
data.

This endorsement covers the named insured's railroad rolling stock as well as similar property of others in its care, custody, or control. It has its own coinsurance provisions, and a different deductible usually applies to collision and derailment. It has an option to value covered property using Association of American Railroads (AAR) rules.
This endorsement covers the named insured's perishable
property and similar property of others in its care, custody, or control
against loss or damage due to breakdown, contamination, mechanical failure, and/or power interruption. The limit of
insurance, deductible, and covered causes of loss are scheduled on the
endorsement. Other entries on the endorsement schedule state whether or not a
refrigeration maintenance contract is in place and if coverage is subject to a
refrigeration back-up system warranty.
This endorsement covers loss to livestock for the limits of insurance on the endorsement schedule caused by, that result from, or that arise out of the covered causes of loss in the endorsement.
Related Article: AG 04 08–Livestock Coverage
This endorsement covers loss or damage to poultry for the limits of insurance on the endorsement schedule caused by that result from or that arise out of the covered causes of loss in the endorsement.
Related Article: AG 04 09–Poultry Coverage
This is an anticipatory endorsement. It applies only if a loss occurs as part of an event where a state of disaster is declared. The limit of insurance is increased for the scheduled building by the percentage entered to pay for the rebuilding surcharge that often accompanies such disasters because labor and materials are in high demand. An unusual part of this endorsement is that it is an annual aggregate. This means that if two or more disasters occur in the same year, the maximum paid is one additional expense percentage limit.
Warehouse operators can purchase this coverage that covers only the personal property of others. The coverage is limited to only the named insured’s legal liability for direct physical damage to the covered property. That is further limited to only loss due to a covered cause of loss.

Liability Coverage
This endorsement covers the named insured's loss of covered leasehold interest when its lease is cancelled.

Grain pledged as
collateral for a loan from the Commodity Credit Corporation of the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) creates unique requirements and
agreements. This endorsement is designed to satisfy those requirements and
agreements.
This endorsement allows the named insured to increase the limits for certain types of household personal property that are subject to special limits in the coverage form. It also adds coverage for camera and musical instruments.
When the named insured plans to replace its business personal property, machinery or equipment with items of significantly lower value, this endorsement should be used. The named insured must describe the items subject to this endorsement and provide a limit of insurance for the item. If a loss occurs, the item will be replaced with a closely equivalent item instead of one of like kind and quality. When used with a named insured who has a clear plan of replacing existing items, the endorsement can be a very practical solution in rightsizing insurance values.
This endorsement changes the requirement that a building must be at least 31% occupied to not be considered vacant or unoccupied for only the building scheduled on this endorsement. The percentage at the scheduled building can be reduced to as little as 10%.
The Vacancy and Unoccupancy Condition in the policy suspends coverage for loss due to certain causes of loss and applies a 15% loss payment penalty to all other losses when buildings are vacant or unoccupied for more than 60 days. This endorsement eliminates that condition for the scheduled locations but only during the listed time period.
When a premium is based partly on certain properly operating
protective safeguards, the insurance company usually requires or warrants that
they remain in proper operating condition for the full policy term. This
endorsement is used to warrant that sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems,
burglar alarm systems, security systems, security services, or others listed
and described on the endorsement schedule remain in working order. Loss or
damage due to fire and theft is excluded if the specified protective device or
devices are not operating properly at the time of loss. The 04 13 edition adds Automatic Commercial Cooking Exhaust and
Extinguishing Systems to the list of protective safeguards and describes them.
When the named insured plans to replace its building with a building that more closely matches its needs, this endorsement should be used. The named insured must describe the buildings subject to this endorsement and provide a limit of insurance. If a loss occurs, the building will be replaced with a functional equivalent item instead of one of like kind and quality. When used with a named insured who has a clear plan of replacing existing items, the endorsement can be a very practical solution in rightsizing insurance values.

This endorsement adds a provision that states the insurance company calculates premiums at renewal, anniversary date, or continuation of the policy term based on rules and rates in effect on the effective date of such transactions.

Protection Coverage
When AG 04 34–Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage is on the policy, this endorsement can be used to suspend coverage on one or more pieces of covered equipment. It is also used to reinstate coverage on the same equipment.
Note: If a company inspector suspends coverage on a piece of equipment, it is immediate and applies whether or not this endorsement has been attached.
This is a limitation of the AG 04 34–Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage endorsement.

This endorsement is used only with AG DS 04–Earthquake–Volcanic Eruption Coverage Schedule. The location, coverage that applies, and deductible are on that schedule. This endorsement covers loss or damage caused by or that results from earthquake and volcanic eruption.
Related article: AG 10 01–Earthquake–Volcanic Eruption
Loss or damage in the current
policy year is covered even if the earthquake or volcanic eruption that causes
the loss or damage began up to 72 hours prior to the policy inception. This
applies only to coverage provided by AG 10 01–Earthquake-Volcanic Eruption.
Related article: AG 10 01–Earthquake–Volcanic Eruption

tricked into giving up possession of covered property is excluded in the
unendorsed policy. Coverage for such false pretense loss is provided up to the
limit of insurance on the schedule when this endorsement is attached.
This endorsement is used with only AG DS 03–Flood Coverage Schedule. The description of the location and the limits that apply must be on the Flood Coverage Schedule.
Related Article: AG 10 04–Flood Coverage
Theft can be a difficult cause of loss to insure on a risk that is otherwise acceptable.
This endorsement solves that problem by excluding loss due to theft while still
covering loss or damage caused by or that results from riot-related looting and
building damage caused by burglars entering or exiting the premises. This exclusion applies to only the
locations listed on the endorsement schedule.
This endorsement excludes windstorm or hail as covered causes of loss at the location(s) and for the covered property described on the endorsement schedule. However, if either result in a covered cause of loss other than rain, snow, sleet, sand, or dust, coverage applies to the loss or damage caused. Windstorm or hail is deleted from the definition of Specified Causes of Loss when this endorsement is used.
This endorsement excludes vandalism as a covered cause of loss at the location(s) and for the covered property described on the endorsement schedule. However, if vandalism results in a covered cause of loss, coverage applies to the loss or damage it causes. Vandalism is deleted from the definition of Specified Causes of Loss when this endorsement is used.
This endorsement pays for mobile
equipment tire damage when caused by collision, upset, or overturn. It is not
subject to a deductible.
This endorsement covers losses caused by accidental and sudden radioactive contamination at the location(s) on the endorsement schedule. It also covers subsequent radiation damage that results from material stored or used at such locations. However, there is no coverage if the location has a nuclear reactor or any nuclear fuel.
Note: Hospitals and manufacturing plants are some classes of business that may need this coverage.
This endorsement excludes loss or damage when a watercraft makes contact with retaining walls, piers, wharves, docks, pilings, and bulkheads.
A tenant’s operations may produce vapor, gas, smoke, or other substances as a regular part of production. This endorsement excludes any damage to the named insured’s property as a result of such tenant releases. This applies to meth-house situations, grease residue, and other substances. This applies to the buildings and locations on the endorsement schedule.
This is a restriction of coverage. It contains two potential limitations. The first changes valuation on roofs from replacement cost to actual cash value. The second excludes loss or damage by wind or hail to the roof when the loss or damage is considered to be only superficial or cosmetic. The premises must be scheduled along with the limitation selection(s).
The named insured is not allowed
to gain financially from any loss. Correspondingly, when it does not own certain property outright, either because it is
leased or is collateral on a loan, it does not have the right to its full value
if it is damaged or destroyed. Other parties that have a financial interest in
this property usually require that the named insured provide coverage for their
interests as well as its own. This endorsement lists those other interests and
explains how losses are adjusted with and paid to them.
This endorsement identifies and includes the building owner as a named insured under a tenant's building coverage.
This endorsement states the procedures to be followed and the payments to be made that involve losses where one insurance company writes the property coverage and a different one writes Equipment Breakdown Coverage.
Value reporting ensures that the
insured never pays for higher limits on covered business personal property than
it has to but is still adequately insured to value. An unusual feature of this
endorsement is that buildings are also eligible for reporting.

This report is used with AG 13 01–Value Reporting Form to submit the periodic reports of value as of the dates on the endorsement schedule.
This supplemental report of values form is used with AG 13 02 when additional space is needed to report values.
This endorsement changes coverage from applying on a blanket
basis to applying on the traditional scheduled basis but only for locations on
the endorsement schedule. This allows the named insured to retain the
flexibility of blanket coverage for some locations and have the more rigid
scheduled basis apply to others. Provisions for newly acquired or constructed
property are added because such property is covered automatically when blanket
coverage applies; this automatic coverage does not occur for scheduled property.
It also introduces coinsurance provisions and penalties for direct damage
coverage. Automatic increase, agreed
value, and other valuation options can also be selected for the designated
locations. Preservation of Property is part
of this endorsement. It insures covered
property that must be moved from a covered location to keep it from loss or
damage by a covered cause of loss. This coverage pays for any loss or damage to such property
during and following the move.
This endorsement enables the named insured and the insurance
company to exclude certain covered
property or additional coverages. It is used to tailor AG 00 01 to respond to
different situations and for different reasons.
This endorsement permits scheduling specific items of mobile equipment along with their limits. The limit entered is the only one that applies to that particular item. However, this endorsement does not mention revising the valuation section. This means any loss payment is still subject to the valuation section.
The blanket coverage for mobile equipment is restricted to only the scheduled specific items of mobile equipment and their limits. The limit entered is the only one that applies to that particular equipment item. However, the endorsement does not revise the Valuation Loss Condition, and any loss payment is still subject to it.
This endorsement replaces the dependent property additional
coverage in the coverage form. Only losses due to the described dependent
locations are covered, whether contributing, recipient, manufacturing, or
leader locations. If a loss occurs at any listed location due to a covered
cause of loss, the full Business Income and Extra Expense limit that applies at
the named insured's locations that are dependent on that scheduled location. Coverage can be extended to include loss
due to direct damage at a secondary
dependent property.

34, AND CP 15 02–Time Element Dependent Properties Coverage Forms
This endorsement is similar to AG
15 01 except that it requires a separate and specific limit of insurance for
business income and extra expense for each listed dependent property location.
That limit is a separate Business Income limit of insurance. The 04 13 edition adds certain provisions
to provide coverage for designated Secondary Contributing Locations and
Secondary Recipient Locations. It also adds a reference to complying with
ordinances or laws.

This worksheet helps the named insured determine the appropriate limit of insurance to carry and also to satisfy the coverage forms reporting requirement. It is mandatory when business income is written on an agreed value basis and must be resubmitted at each anniversary.

Business Income and Extra Expense Coverage can be extended
to cover losses caused by or that result from failure of off-site utility
services. The services that can be covered are water, wastewater removal, communications (with or without overhead
lines), and power supply (with or without overhead lines). Any combination of
services may be covered. The limit is part of the limit of insurance, not in
addition to it, and is an extension of coverage, not an additional coverage.
This endorsement allows the insured to completely exclude payroll expenses for selected groups of employees. The expenses may be totally excluded or be limited to only a certain number of days. The 04 13 edition eliminates the term “ordinary payroll” and increases flexibility by introducing scheduling options. This approach means that the insured can carry a lower limit of insurance in return for a premium surcharge. Coverage applies to payroll expense incurred during the period of restoration or any extensions of it. The number of days of payroll coverage is not required to be consecutive.
This endorsement enables the insured to deduct from the time
element limit the costs of power, heat, and refrigeration consumed in
production operations that do not continue under contract after a loss occurs.
This permits the insured to purchase lower limits without incurring a
coinsurance penalty.
This endorsement extends the Business Income and Extra Expense/Dwelling Loss of Use coverage territory to any place in the world. It does not include property in transit or at locations the named insured owns, leases, or operates. The limit is $50,000. Coverage can be restricted to the countries or jurisdictions listed on the endorsement schedule. Coverage disputes must be filed in courts of law in the United States, including its territories and possessions, Puerto Rico, or Canada.
This endorsement provides coverage for job classifications or specific employees described and for the number of days on the endorsement schedule without requiring that they be necessary to resume operations.
The loss of income due to interruption of the named insured’s operations because a scheduled vehicle or mobile equipment is covered when the loss is due to covered causes of loss. Collision and/or overturn can be added as a cause of loss by scheduling it on the endorsement.
This restrictive endorsement excludes Business Personal Property Off Covered Location Additional Coverage when such property is in the countries or jurisdictions listed on the endorsement schedule.
This endorsement is a hedge that should be used only when sufficient time is not available to adequately evaluate new construction. A rate is developed based on available knowledge. After the needed additional information is developed, the actual rate is determined, and because of this endorsement, that amended rate is applied retroactively to the coverage inception date.
Alcoholic beverages are subject to significant federal and state taxes that are paid in advance. These taxes are refunded if a loss prevents the beverages from entering the marketplace. As a result, the limit of insurance for any alcoholic beverage entity should exclude the taxes. The problem with this is that these taxes are not refunded if the loss is due to theft. This endorsement recognizes the problem and allows these taxes to be excluded for everything except theft losses.
The following commercial property article is helpful in understanding this endorsement.
Related Article: CP 99 10–Alcoholic Beverages Tax Exclusion
This endorsement recognizes that alcoholic beverages are unique. It values distilled spirits and wines at their current market value but goes even further and recognizes the difference between more aged and less aged bulk distilled spirits and irreplaceable bulk distilled spirits. Anyone who works with wineries or any business involved with alcoholic beverages should review this endorsement carefully.
The following commercial property article is helpful in understanding this endorsement.
