The insurance policy and policy limits shall in no way operate as a limit of Licensee's liability to Licensor under this License, or as a limit of Licensee's duty of 3
indemnification hereunder. Prior to the exercise of any rights under this License, Licensee shall furnish Licensor with certificates of insurance (noting the requirements of this section, indicating that the insurance is prepaid for a one year policy period insuring all activity contemplated under this License and containing a 30 day notice provision prior to termination.) The policy shall provide, inter alia, that the actions or omissions of any insured party shall not invalidate the policy as against any other insured party or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any other insured party under the policy. No provision contained in this License shall act as a waiver of any rights of subrogation of the insurance company which is the primary insurer for Licensor and its contractors. The insurance required to be carried by Licensee and its contractors herein shall be with an insurance company licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Virginia and rated not lower than A-X in the Best Rating Guide. Such insurance (a) shall contain an endorsement that such policy shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the insured has relicensed its right of action against any party before the occurrence of a loss; (b) shall name Licensor and others listed hereinafter as additional insureds and loss payee; and (c) shall provide that the policy shall not be canceled, failed to be renewed or materially amended without at least thirty (30) days' prior written to Licensor. On or before the License Commencement Date and, thereafter, not less than thirty (30) days before the expiration date of the insurance policy, an original of the policy (including any renewal or replacement policy) or a certified copy thereof, together with evidence satisfactory to Licensor of the payment of all premiums for such policy, shall be delivered to Licensor. Licensor, its elected and appointed officials, officers, constitutional officers, employees, contractors and agents, and the Landlord, shall be named as additional insureds under all coverages maintained by Licensee hereunder and the certificate of insurance, or the certified policy, must so state. The above referenced persons and entities shall be considered as "Licensor" for the purposes of all insurance policies issued pursuant to this License. Coverage afforded under this section shall be primary as respect to the Licensor, its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, contractors and agent, and the Landlord. All insurance policies required of Licensee and its contractors hereunder shall be endorsed to include the following provision: "It is agreed that this policy is not subject to cancellation, non-renewal, material change, or reduction in coverage until thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to Arlington County, Virginia." Therefore, the words "endeavor to" and "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation of liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representatives" shall be eliminated from the cancellation provision of standard ACCORD certificate of insurance. 14. Default. This License shall, at the option of Licensor, terminate if Licensee violates or fails to perform any of the conditions, covenants or agreements of this License, including without limitation, the payment of the monthly fee, provided that any such violation or failure to perform any of those conditions, covenants or agreements continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice hereof has been delivered by Licensor to Licensee. In such event, Licensee shall remain liable to Licensor for all money and other damages arising from such default. Upon the termination of this License, Licensor shall have the right to prevent Licensee's entry to, or access upon, the Licensed Premises and Demised Premises, except to remove the ATM and Support Facilities.
