                          WAIVER OF OUR RIGHT TO RECOVER FROM OTHERS ENDORSEMENT

  We have the right to recover our payments from anyone liable for an injury covered by this policy. We will not
  enforce our right against the person or organization named in the Schedule. (This agreement applies only to the
  extent that you perform work under a written contract that requires you to obtain this agreement from us.)
  This agreement shall not operate directly or indirectly to benefit anyone not named in the Schedule.



                                                               Schedule




           "Any person or organization required by written contract or certificate of insurance."




           "This endorsement is not applicable in California, Kentucky, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Texas
           and Utah."


           The endorsement does not apply to policies or exposure in Missouri where the employer is in the
           construction group of classifications. According to Section 287.150(6) of the Missouri statutes, a
           contractual provision purporting to waive subrogation rights is against public policy and void where
           one party to the contract is an employer in the construction group of code classifications. For
           policies or exposure in Missouri, the following must be included in the Schedule:
               Any person or organization for which the employer has agreed by written contract, executed
               prior to loss, may execute a waiver of subrogation. However, for purposes of work performed
               by the employer in Missouri, this waiver of subrogation does not apply to any construction
               group of classifications as designated by the waiver of right to recover from others
               (subrogation) rule in our manual.

 A.   SECTION II - WHO IS AN INSURED is amended to add as an additional insured:

      1. Any person or organization with whom you have agreed in a “written agreement” that such person or
         organization be added as an additional insured on this policy, and any other person or organization
         you are required to add as an additional insured under such “written agreement”.

      2. If “your work” began under a written letter of intent or written work order, any person or organization
          who issued the written letter of intent or written work order, but:

          a. such coverage will apply only for 30 calendar days following the date the written letter of intent
                 or written work order was issued; and

           b. the person or organization is an additional insured only for, and to the extent of, liability arising
              out of “bodily injury”, “property damage”, or “personal and advertising injury” caused, in whole
              or in part, by your negligent acts or omissions, or the negligent acts or omissions of others
                 working on your behalf, in the performance of your work as specified in the written letter of
                 intent or written work order. This coverage does not apply to liability arising out of the
                 independent acts or omissions of the additional insured.

      For the purposes of the coverage provided by this endorsement, a “written agreement” means a written
      contract or written agreement that:

      1. requires you to include a person or organization as an additional insured for a period of time during
          the policy period; and

      2. is executed prior to the occurrence of “bodily injury”, “property damage”, or “personal and
          advertising injury” that forms the basis for a claim under this policy.

      The insurance provided by this endorsement does not apply to any person or organization that is
      specifically listed as an additional insured on another endorsement attached to this policy.




CG 73 24 03 23        Includes copyrighted material of the Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission    Page 1 of 3
 B.   The coverage provided to any person or organization added as an additional insured pursuant to
      Paragraph A.1 is limited as follows:

      1. If the “written agreement” specifically and exclusively requires you to name the person or
           organization as an additional insured using the ISO CG 20 10 endorsement with edition dates of 11
           85 or 10 01, or the ISO CG 20 37 10 01 endorsement, that person or organization is an additional
           insured, but only with respect to liability for “bodily injury”, “property damage”, or “personal and
           advertising injury” arising out of “your work” for that insured by or for you.

      2. If the “written agreement” requires you to name the person or organization as an additional insured
           using the ISO CG 20 10 and or CG 20 37 endorsements without specifically and exclusively
           requiring the 11 85 or 10 01 edition dates, that person or organization is an additional insured, but
           only with respect to liability for “bodily injury”, “property damage”, or “personal and advertising
           injury” caused, in whole or in part, by your acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of those
           acting on your behalf.

      3. If the “written agreement” requires you to name the person or organization as an additional insured
           for operations arising out of your work and does not specify an ISO additional insured
           endorsement, that person or organization is an additional insured, but only with respect to liability
           for “bodily injury”, “property damage”, or “personal and advertising injury” arising out of your acts or
           omissions, or the acts or omissions of others working on your behalf, in the performance of your
           work as specified in the “written agreement”. This coverage does not apply to liability arising out of
           the sole negligence of the additional insured unless specifically required in the “written agreement”.

      4. If none of the above paragraphs apply, then the person or organization is an additional insured only
           for, and to the extent of, liability arising out of “bodily injury”, “property damage”, or “personal and
           advertising injury” caused, in whole or in part, by your negligent acts or omissions, or the negligent
           acts or omissions of others working on your behalf, in the performance of your work as specified in
           the “written agreement”. This coverage does not apply to liability arising out of the independent
           acts or omissions of the additional insured.

      However, the insurance afforded to such additional insured only applies to the extent permitted by law.


 C.   The insurance provided to an additional insured under this endorsement does not apply to:

      1.   “Bodily injury” or “property damage” included in the “products-completed operations hazard”
           unless the “written agreement” specifically requires such coverage (including by specifically
           requiring the CG 20 10 11 85). To the extent the “written agreement” requires such coverage for a
           specified amount of time, the coverage provided by this endorsement is limited to the amount of
           time required for such coverage by the “written agreement”.

      2.   “Bodily injury”, “property damage”, or “personal and advertising injury” arising out of an architect’s,
           engineer’s, or surveyor’s rendering of, or failure to render, any professional services, including but
           not limited to:

            a. The preparing, approving, or failing to prepare or approve:
               (1) Maps;
               (2) Drawings;
               (3) Opinions;
               (4) Reports;
               (5) Surveys;
               (6) Change orders;




CG 73 24 03 23        Includes copyrighted material of the Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission   Page 2 of 3
                 (7) Design specifications; and

           b. Supervisory, inspection, or engineering services.


 D.   The limits of insurance that apply to the additional insured are the least of those specified in the “written
      agreement” or declarations of this policy.

      Coverage provided by this endorsement for any additional insured shall not increase the applicable
      Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations. The limits of insurance that apply to the additional
      insured are inclusive of, and not in addition to, the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations.


 E.   With respect to the coverage provided by this endorsement, SECTION IV – COMMERCIAL GENERAL
      LIABILITY CONDITIONS, Paragraph 4. Other Insurance is deleted and replaced with the following:

      4. Other Insurance.

        a. Coverage provided by this endorsement is excess over any other valid and collectible insurance
           available to the additional insured whether:

           (1)   Primary;
           (2)   Excess;
           (3)   Contingent; or
           (4)   On any other basis.

           In addition, this insurance is excess over any self-insured retentions, deductibles, or captive
           retentions payable by the additional insured or payable by any person or organization whose
           coverage is available to the additional insured.

           However, if the “written agreement” requires primary and non-contributory coverage, this
           insurance will be primary and non-contributory relative only to the other insurance available to the
           additional insured which covers that person or organization as a Named Insured, and we will not
           share with that other insurance. For any other insurance available to the additional insured where
           that person or organization is not a Named Insured, this policy will share coverage with that other
           insurance based on the terms specified in Paragraph b. Method of Sharing below.

        b. Method of Sharing

           If all the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also.
           Under this method, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of
           insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first.

           If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by
           limits. Under this method, each insurer’s share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of
           insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.
