Commercial General Liability insurance names the Lessor, its officers, agents, and employees,
individually and collectively, as additional insured, but only insofar as the operations under this
Lease are concerned; that such coverage for additional insured shall apply as primary insurance
and any other insurance or self- insurance shall not be cancelled or changed without a minimum
of thirty (30) days advance written notice given to Lessee.
In the event Lessee fails to keep in effect at all times insurance coverage as herein
provided, the Lessor may, in addition to other remedies it may have, suspend or terminate this
Lease upon the occurrence of such event.
