See id. at *4. It also should be noted that the Delaware case Orient provided to the court before oral argument, Almah LLC v Lexington Ins. Co., 2016 WL 369576 (Del Super Jan. 27, 2016), not only fails to support Orient's position, but actually stands for the uncontroversial proposition that time element losses can be subject to lower sublimits, such as a flood sublimit.
