Supplier agrees to maintain in full force and effect at
all times while it has any obligations remaining under this
agreement, policies of insurance written as primary coverage
and not contributing with or in excess of any coverage which
(YOUR COMPANY NAME) may carry. These policies will be issued
by an insurance carrier acceptable to (YOUR COMPANY NAME)
with a Best's rating of at least A, X which affords the
following:

Injury, Property Damage, Personal Injury, Advertising
injury, Contractual Liability, Products and Completed
Operations and shall cover all liability from premises,
operations, independent contractors, products-completed
operations, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence. Products and Completed operations coverage
will be continued for two (2) years following date of
acceptance by (YOUR COMPANY NAME). A claims made policy

Hired Car coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000
per occurrence, Combined Single Limit for Bodily Injury

coverage for Covered Autos should be requested.
- Workers' Compensation
Insurance in Statutory amounts and Employers

Section III
General Provisions
Supplier agrees to deliver to (YOUR COMPANY NAME), within
ten (10) days of the date of this agreement and annually
thereafter, Certificates of Insurance (See Exhibit A for
a sample) evidencing the above coverages with limits
not less than those specified above. Such Certificates,
with the exception of Workers' Compensation Insurance, will
confirm that each policy (#1, 2, and 4 above) has been endorsed
to name (YOUR COMPANY NAME), its officers, directors and
employees as additional insured and contain a Waiver of
Subrogation under the Workers Compensation, Business
Automobile and Commercial General Liability Insurance Policies
in favor of (YOUR COMPANY NAME).
If the suppliers liability
policies do not contain the standard separation of insured
provision, or a substantially similar clause, they shall
be endorsed to provide cross liability coverage.
Further, all Certificates
shall expressly provide that not less than thirty (30) days
prior written notice be given (YOUR COMPANY NAME) in the
event of a material alteration to or cancellation of the
coverages evidenced by such certificates with no disclaimer.
The limits of insurance required shall not limit the suppliers
liability under the Indemnity provision. Failure by (YOUR
COMPANY NAME) to receive or request such Certificates does
not represent a waiver of the requirements for insurance
coverage noted above.
If such Certificates are
not delivered in accordance with the foregoing, (YOUR COMPANY
NAME) shall have the right to cancel this agreement, and
any monies paid by (YOUR COMPANY NAME) prior to such cancellation
shall be returned to (YOUR COMPANY NAME).
Other Considerations
The above provisions are
provided, as general minimum guidelines for insurance provisions
needed to protect PNA and Affiliated or Subsidiary Company
interests. Depending on the exact nature of the agreement
between PNA or an Affiliate/Subsidiary and the outside supplier
as well as the work and risk involved, the following additional
insurance provisions, higher limits or coverage should be
considered and may be required:
- Umbrella Excess Liability
Insurance/Higher Liability Limits.
- Professional Liability/Architect-Engineers
Insurance should be required with a policy limit of not
less than $1,000,000 per occurrence (higher limits may
be required depending on the design, project or construction
involved).
- Provisions to require
the contractor/vendor to carry a Performance & Payment
Surety Bond at Contract Value.
- Provisions to require
a Fidelity Bond (with third party coverage including customers/clients
as loss payees) to insure the honesty of contractor/vendors'
employees. (Ex: Security contractor/vendor).
- Consideration should
be given to including the following language in an agreement
with a third party consultant providing professional advice
and services: Consultant shall maintain in force
for the duration of this contract Professional Liability/Errors
and Omissions Insurance, which shall apply to liability
for a professional error, act, or omission arising out
of the scope of the Consultant's services as defined in
this contract. Coverage shall be written subject to limits
of not less than $ 1,000,000 per loss. If coverage is
written on a claims-made basis, the Consultant warrants
that any retroactive date applicable to coverage under
the policy precedes the effective date of this contract;
and that continuous coverage will be maintained or an
extended discovery period will be exercised for a period
of 2 years beginning from the time that work under the
contract is completed.
