Who Is An Insured is amended to include as an additional insured the person(s) or organization(s) shown in the Schedule, but only with respect to liability for “bodily injury”, “property damage” or “personal and advertising injury” caused, in whole or in part, by: 1. Your acts or omissions; or 2. The acts or omissions of those acting on your behalf; in the performance of your ongoing operations for the additional insured(s) at the location(s) designated above. 2013 CG 20 10 A. Section II – Who is An Insured is amended to include as an additional insured the person(s) or organization(s) shown in the Schedule, but only with respect to liability for “bodily injury”, “property damage” or “personal and advertising injury” caused, in whole or in part, by: 1. Your acts or omissions; or 2. The acts or omissions of those acting on your behalf; In the performance of your ongoing operations for the additional insured(s) at the location(s) designated above.

16 Page 16 Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited. 16 Changes to Additional Insured Endorsements  Three key changes –Coverage afforded to the additional insured will apply only to the extent permitted by law –Coverage afforded to the additional insured will be limited in scope to the coverage required in the underlying contract –The limit of insurance afforded to the additional insured will be the lesser of the applicable policy limit or the amount specified in the underlying contract

17 Page 17 Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited. 17 Changes to Additional Insured Endorsements  Implications –We need to be aware of the presence of anti-indemnity states – We need to be aware that additional insured status will not be broader than the underlying contractual requirements. – When granting additional insured status to others, we need to pay greater attention to the limits and scope of coverage requested. – When requesting additional insured status from others, we need to focus carefully on the limits and coverage requested because we will no longer be able to fall back on the breadth of coverage provided by many insurance programs.
