13. On or about October 24, 2005, RESIDENCES sustained significant
hurricane damages to its residential condominium property as a result of Hurricane
Wilma.
14. RESIDENCES timely reported the damages to the Defendants.
15. Following Hurricane Wilma, MT. HAWLEY and WESTCHESTER had an
opportunity to inspect the damages to the insured property.
16. To date, over three years after Hurricane Wilma, the Defendants have
failed to provide RESIDENCES with any estimate of the damages, and have failed to
adjust, pay, and/or settle RESIDENCES' claim for hurricane damage, despite their
obligations to do so under Section 627.70131, Florida Statutes, and the Insurance
Contracts.
17. Venue lies in the Southern District of Florida because, among other things,
the Insurance Contracts were entered into and provided insurance coverage for
residential property located in Broward County, Florida.
18. All conditions precedent to the filing of this action have occurred and/or
have been waived.

20. RESIDENCES realleges and reavers the allegations contained in
paragraphs 1 through 18 above, as if fully set forth herein.
21. RESIDENCES seeks a declaratory judgment: (a) that the Mt. Hawley
Insurance Contract is valid and enforceable; (b) that pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Insurance Contracts, RESIDENCES has a valid and enforceable right
to coverage, and to a determination of the total amount of all damages sustained from
Hurricane Wilma notwithstanding MT. HAWLEY's and/or WESTCHESTER's failure to
timely adjust, pay and/or settle RESIDENCES' claim; (c) that the Mt. Hawley Insurance
Contract fails to comply with Section 627.701(a-b), Florida Statutes, and 627.701(4)(a),
Florida Statutes, and therefore, the provisions concerning co-insurance and a separate
hurricane deductible are void and unenforceable; (d) determining the total amount of the
losses and damages caused by Hurricane Wilma to RESIDENCES; and (e) awarding
RESIDENCES supplemental relief to fully compensate RESIDENCES for all of its
hurricane related
damagesunder
Chapter86, Florida Statutes.
22. RESIDENCES also seeks a declaratory judgment that the provision
concerning a separate deductible of "3% of total values at risk Per Building (including
time element if applicable) at the time of loss for Windstorm or Hail" is vague and
ambiguous. The term "Windstorm" is not defined. The amount of the separate
deductible for Windstorm or Hail is not stated as a sum certain. RESIDENCES seeks a
declaratory judgment that the failure to define the term "Windstorm" renders the
applicability of the separate deductible vague, ambiguous. Moreover, the failure to state
the deductible as a sum certain renders the amount of the deductible vague and
ambiguous. Because the separate deductible is vague, ambiguous, and otherwise

violates Section 627.701, Florida Statutes, it is unenforceable and/or should be
construed against MT. HAWLEY and WESTCHESTER. Plaintiff further and
alternatively seeks a declaratory judgment that, to the extent the amount of the separate
deductible can be ascertained, it must be construed to indicate that the maximum
separate deductible for Windstorm or Hail loss is 3% of the $2 million limit of coverage
offered under the Mt. Hawley Insurance Contract because $2 million is all that is "at risk"
under the Mt. Hawley Insurance Contract.
23. MT. HAWLEY's and WESTCHESTER's actions have raised doubt and
insecurity for RESIDENCES regarding: the validity, enforceability and scope of the
Insurance Contracts; the total amount of the covered damages RESIDENCES
sustained from Hurricane Wilma; MT. HAWLEY's and WESTCHESTER's duties to
timely adjust, pay and/or settle RESIDENCES' claim for all damages sustained from
Hurricane Wilma; the validity and enforceability of the co-insurance and separate
hurricane deductible provision of the Mt. Hawley Insurance Contract; and, if determined
to be enforceable, the amount of the separate hurricane deductible to be applied in this
case.
24. Paragraphs E.4 and 0.3 (form CP 00 17 04 02) as well as paragraph D
(form CP 01 25 06 95) of the Mt. Hawley Insurance Contract, and the Westchester
Insurance Contract, together with Section 627.70131, Florida Statutes, require MT.
HAWLEY and WESTCHESTER to t imely adjust, pay and/or settle RESIDENCES'
claims for the damages it sustained from Hurricane Wilma. MT. HAWLEY and
WESTCHESTER have failed to adjust, pay and/or settle RESIDENCES' claims.
RESIDENCES is entitled to a declaratory judgment that the Insurance Contracts and

Florida law require MT. HAWLEY and WESTCHESTER to timely adjust, pay and/or
settle RESIDENCES' hurricane damage claims.
25. RESIDENCES suffered extensive losses and damagesfrom Hurricane
Wilma and timely notified MT. HAWLEY and WESTCHESTER of those losses and
damages. MT. HAWLEY and WESTCHESTER have failed to adjust the claim and
determine the total amount of damages that RESIDENCES sustained from Hurricane
Wilma. RESIDENCES is entitled to declaratory judgment to determine the total amount
of its Hurricane Wilma damages and for supplemental relief to fully compensate
RESIDENCES for its Hurricane Wilma losses and damages.
26. The Insurance Contracts fail to comply with Section 627.701, Florida
Statutes, because the faces of the Insurance Contracts do not contain a co-insurance
notice as is required. Further, the faces of the Insurance Contracts fail to contain a
separate hurricane deductible notice as required and/or fail to comply with the wording
and bold faced

requirementsset forth in Section 627.701, Florida Statutes.
27. RESIDENCES is entitled to a declaratory judgment that the co-insurance
and separate hurricane deductible provisions of the Mt. Hawley Insurance Contract are
void and unenforceable because the Mt. Hawley Insurance Contract does not comply
with the requirements set forth in Section 627.701(1)(a-b), Florida Statutes, and Section
627.701(4)(a), Florida Statutes.
28. Alternatively, to the extent that the separate hurricane deductible is
determined to be enforceable, RESIDENCES is entitled to declaratory judgment that the
language "3% of total values at risk Per Building (including time element if applicable) at
the time of loss for Windstorm or Hail" must be construed so that the maximum

f. Electronic Data (4) The most we will pay under this Additional
(1) Under this Additional Coverage, electron-
lc data has the meaning described under
Property Not Covered Electronic Data.
(2) Subject to the provisions of this Additional
Coverage, we will pay for the cost to re -
place or restore electronic data which has
been destroyed or corrupted by a Coy-
ered Cause of Loss. To the extent that
electronic data is not replaced or re -
stored, the loss will be valued at the cost
of replacement of the media on which the
electronic data was stored, with blank
media of substantially identical type.
Coverage Electronic Data is $2, 500 for
all loss or damage sustained in any one
policy year, regardless of the number of
occurrences of loss or damage or the
numberof
premises,locations or
comput-er systems involved. If loss payment on
the first occurrence does not exhaust this
amount, then the balance is available for
subsequent loss or damage sustained In
but not after that policy year. With respectto an occurrence which begins in one
policy year and continues or results in
additional loss or damage in a subse-
quent policy year(s), al l loss or damage is
deemed to be sustained in the policy year

Case 0:09-cv-60723-AJ Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/15/2009 Page 44 of 59
C. Limits Of Insurance
The most we will pay for loss or damage in any on e
occurrence is the applicable Limit of Insurance shown
in the Declarations.
The most we will pay for loss or damage to outdoor
signs attached to buildings is $1,000 per sign in any
one occurrence.
The limits applicable to the Fire Department Service
Charge and Pollutant Clean Up and Removal Addi-
tional Coverages are in addition to the Limits of
Insurance.
Payments under the Preservation of Property Addi-
tional Coverage will not increase the applicable Limit
of Insurance.
D. Deductible
In any one occurrence of loss or damage (hereinafterreferred to as loss), we will first reduce the amount of
loss if required by the Coinsurance Condition or the
Agreed Value Optional Coverage. If the adjustedamount of loss is less than or equal to the Deductible,we will not pay for that loss. If the adjusted amount of
loss exceeds the Deductible, we will then subtract the
Deductible from the adjusted amount of loss, and will
pay the resulting amount or the Limit of Insurance,whichever is less.
When the occurrence involves loss to more than one
item of Covered Property and separate Limits of Insur-
ance apply, the losses will not be combined in deter-
mining application of the Deductible. But the Deducti-
ble will be applied only once per occurrence.
Example No. 1:
(This example assumes there is no coinsurance penalty.)
$ 60,100
250
$ 59 ,850 Loss Payable Bldg. 1
The Deductible applies once per occurrence and
therefore is not subtracted in
determiningthe amount
of loss payable for Bldg. 2. Loss payable for Bldg. 2 is
the Limit of Insurance of $80,000.
Total amount of loss payable: $59,850 + 80 ,000 =
$139,850.
Example No. 2:
(This example, too, assumes there is no coinsurance
penalty.)
The Deductible and Limits of Insurance ar e the same as
those in Example No. 1.
Loss to Bldg. 1: $ 70 ,000
(exceeds Limit of Insurance plus Deductible)
Loss to Bldg. 2: $ 90,000
(exceeds Limit of Insurance plus Deductible)
Loss Payable Bldg. 1: $ 60,000
(Limit of Insurance)
Loss Payable Bldg. 2: $ 80,000
(Limit of Insurance)
Total amount of loss payable: $140,000
E. Loss Conditions

mon Policy Conditions and the Commercial PropertyConditions.

e. Increased Cost Of Construction
(1) This Additional Coverage applies only to
buildings to which the Replacement Cost
Optional Coverage applies,
(2) In the event of damage by a Covered
Cause of Loss to a building that is Cov-
ered Property, we will pay the increased
costs incurred to comply with enforce-
ment of an ordinance or law in the course
of repair, rebuilding or replacement of
damaged parts of that property, subject to
the limitations stated in e.(3) through e.(9)of this Additional Coverage.
(3) The ordinance or law referred to In e.(2)of this Additional Coverage is an ordi-
nance or law that regulates the construc-tion or repair of buildings or establishes
zoning or land us e requirements at the
described premises, and is in force at the
time of loss.
(4) Under this Additional Coverage, we will
not pay any costs due to an ordinance or
law that:
(a) You were required to comply with
before the loss, even when the build-
ing was undamaged; and
(b) You failed to comply with.
(5) Under this Additional Coverage, we will
not pay for:
(a) The enforcement of any ordinance or
law which requires demolition, repair,
replacement, reconstruction, remod-
eling or remediation of property due to
contamination by "pollutants" or due
to the presence, growth, prolifer-ation, spread or any activity of "fun-
gus,"
wet or dry rot or bacteria; or
(b) Any costs associated with the en-
forcement of an ordinance or law
which requires any insured or others

wet or dry rot or bacteria.
(6) The most we will pay under this Addi-
tional Coverage, for each described build-
ing insured under this Coverage Form, Is
$10,000 or 5% of the Limit of Insurance
applicable to that building, whichever is
less. If a damaged building is covered un -
der a blanket Limit of Insurance which ap-
plies to more than one building or item of
property, then the most we will pay under
this Additional Coverage, for that dam-
aged building, is the lesser of: $10,000 or
5% times the value of the damaged build-ii-ng as of the time of loss times the applcable coinsurance percentage.
The amount payable under this Additional
Coverage is additional insurance.
(7) With respect to this Additional Coverage:
(a) We will not pay for the increased Cost
of Construction:
(I) Until the property is actually re -
paired or replaced, at the same or
another premises; and
(ii) Unless the repairs or replace-ment ar e made as soon as rea-
sonably possible after the loss or
damage, not to exceed two years.
We may extend this period in
writing during the two years.
(b) If the building is repaired or replacedat the same premises, or if you elect
to rebuild at another premises, the
most we will pay for the Increased
Cost of Construction, subject to the
provisions of e.(6) of this Additiona
Coverage, is the increased cost o
construction at the same premises.
(c) If the ordinance or law requires relo
cation to another premises, the mos
we will pay for the Increased Cost o
Construction, subject to the provi
sions of e.(6) of this Additional Coverage, is the increased cost of con
struction at the new premises.
(8) This additional Coverage is not subject to
the terms of the Ordinance or Law Ex
clusion, to the extent that such Exclusion
would conflict with the provisions of this
Additional Coverage.

Instead, we will determine the most we will pay usingthe following steps:
1. Multiply the Net Income and operating expense for
the 12 months following the inception, or last
previous anniversary date, of this policy by theCoinsurance percentage;
2. Divide the Limit of Insurance for the described
premises by the figure determined in Step 1; and
3. Multiply the total amount of loss by the figuredetermined in Step 2.
We will pay the amount determined in Step 3 or the
limit of insurance, whichever is less. For the remain-
der, you will either have to rely on other insurance or
absorb the loss yourself.
in determining operating expenses for the purposeof
applying the Coinsurance condition, the following ex-
penses, if applicable, shall be deducted from the total

The Coinsurance percentage is 50%
The Limit of Insurance is $150,000
The amount of loss is $ 80 ,000
Step 1: $400,000 x 50% = $200,000

to meet your Coinsurance requirements)
Step 2: $150,000 $200,000 = .75
