The plain language of the excess insurance policy issued by defendant unambiguously requires that defendant provide coverage for business interruption loss suffered by plaintiff in excess of $500,000 (see Universal Am. Corp. v. National Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa., 25 N.Y.3d 675, 680, 16 N.Y.S.3d 21, 37 N.E.3d 78 [2015] ).
We have considered defendant's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
