State in which the work is to be performed. The Certificate of Insurance shall
name WCI as an ADDITIONAL INSURED, and shall confirm that the insurance policy
contains a provision that prohibits cancellation or modification or reduction
of coverage or benefits without at least 15 days prior written notice to WCI.
No insurance policy shall contain any provision, or exclusion from liability,
other than provisions for exclusion forming a part of the standard basic
unamended and unendorsed form of policy, provided however, in no event shall
any insurance policy be allowed to contain an exclusion in conflict with the
coverages required by this agreement. If any part of the work to be performed
by Contractor is subcontracted to others, Contractor shall notify WCI in
advance, and any such subcontractor shall be required to comply with the
specifications set forth herein for insurance, including the delivery of
certificates of insurance naming WCI as an ADDITIONAL INSURED, and Contractor
shall be responsible for obtaining and delivering such certificates to WCI
prior to commencing any work. Any insurance policy obtained by Contractor
insuring against loss by physical damage to the work, or covering Contractor's
tools, supplies, machinery or equipment shall contain an endorsement waiving
the right of subrogation against WCI. Nothing in this agreement shall give or
create in any third party any claim or right of action against WCI. The limits
established herein are minimum limits only and do not affect or limit the
insurance coverages available to the insureds or additional insureds pursuant
to the policies of insurance herein described. IF THE CONTRACTOR FAILS TO
PROCURE THE INSURANCE COVERAGES HEREIN DESCRIBED, AND TO MAINTAIN SUCH POLICIES
IN EFFECT DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, WCI SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, BUT NOT
THE OBLIGATION, TO PROCURE AND MAINTAIN SUCH INSURANCE POLICIES FOR AND IN THE
NAME OF THE CONTRACTOR, AND CONTRACTOR SHALL PAY THE COST THEREOF, AND SHALL
FURNISH ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION AND OTHERWISE COOPERATE TO MAKE EFFECTIVE AND

As long as Contractor performs work with WCI it must carry Workers' Compensation
Insurance, and must furnish certificates showing that coverage is in effect
during the period in which the work is to be performed. Contractor for itself
and its employees, hereby waives all rights of subrogation against WCI and shall
