(hereinafter called the Company)

DOES HEREBY AGREE with this Employer, named and described as such in the Declarations forming a part

hereof, as respects personal injuries sustained by employees, including death at any time resulting therefrom,

as

follows:

ONE (a) To Pay Promptly to any person entitled thereto under the Workmen's Compensation Law and in

the manner therein provided, the entire amount of any sum due, and all installments thereof as they become due

(1)

To such person because of the obligation for compensation for any such injury imposed upon or

accepted by this Employer under such of certain statutes, as may be applicable thereto, cited

and described in an endorsement attached to this Policy, each of whic.h statutes is herein referred

to as the Workmen's Compensation Law, and

(2)

For the benefit of such person the proper cost of whatever medical, surgical, nurse or hospital

services, medical or surgical apparatus or appliances and medicines, or, in the event of fatal

injury, whatever funeral expenses are required by the provisions of such Workmen's

Compen-sation Law.

It

is agreed that all of the provisions of each Workmen's Compensation Law covered hereby shall be and remain a part of this contract as fully and completely as if written herein, so far as they apply to compensation or other benefits for any personal injury or death covered by this Policy, while this Policy shall remain in force. Nothing herein contained shall operate so to extend this Policy as to include within its terms any Workmen's Compensation Law, scheme or plan not cited in an

endorse-ment hereto attached.

One (b) To Indemnify this Employer against loss by reason of the liability imposed upon him by law for damages on account of such injuries to such of said employees as are legally employed wherever such injuries may be sustained within the territorial limits of the United States of America or the Dominion of Canada. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of this Em-ployer the Company shall not be relieved from the payment of such indemnity .hereunder as would have been pay-able but for such bankruptcy or insolvency. If, because of such bankruptcy or insolvency, an execution against this Employer is returned unsatisfied in an action brought by the injured, or by another person claiming by, through or under the injured, then an action may be maintained by the injured, or by such other persons, claiming by, through or under the injured, against the Company under the terms of this Policy for the amount of the judgment in said action not exceeding the amount of this Policy.

Two To Serve this Employer (a) by the inspection of work places covered by the Policy when and as deemed desirable by the Company and thereupon to suggest to this Employer such changes or improvements as may operate to reduce the number or severitv of injuries during work; and, (b) upon notice of such injuries, by investigation thereof and by settlement of any resulting claims in accordance with law.

Three To Defend, in the name and on behalf of this employer, any suits or other proceedings which may at any time be instituted against him on account of such injuries, including suits or_other proceedings alleging such injuries and demanding dant-ages or compensation therefor, although such suits, other proceedings, allegations or demands are v,-holly groundless, false or fraudulent.

Four To Pay all costs taxed against this Employer in any legal proceedings defended by the Company, all interest accru-ing after entry of judgment, and all expenses incurred by the Company for investigation, negotiation or defense.

Five This agreement shall apply to such injuries sustained by any person or persons employed by this Employer whose entire remuneration shall be included in the total actual remuneration for which provision is hereinafter made, upon which remuneration the premium for this Policy is to be computed and adjusted, and, also to such injuries so sustained by the President, any Vice-President, Secretary or Treasurer of this Employer, if a corporation. The remuneration of any such designated officer shall not be subjected to a premium charge unless he is actually performing such duties as are ordinarily undertaken by a superintendent, foreman or workman.

Six This agreement shall apply to such injuries so sustained by reason of the business operations described in said Declarations which for the purpose of this insurance, shall include all operations necessary, incident or appurtenant thereto, or connected therewith, whether such operations are conducted at the work places defined and described in said Declarations or elsewhere in connection with, or in relation to, such work places.

Seven This agreement shall apply only to such injuries so sustained by reason of accidents occurring during the Policy Period limited and defined as such in Item 2 of said Declarations.

SUBJECT TO THE

FOLLOWING CONDMONS:

A. The premium is based upon the entire remuneration earned, .during the Policy Period, by all employees of this Em-ployer engaged in the business operations described in said Declarations together with all operations necessary, incident or appurtenant thereto or connected therewith whether conducted at such work places or elsewhere in connection therewith or in relation thereto; excepting, however, the remuneration of the President, any Vice-President, Secretary or Treasurer of this Em-ployer, if a corporation, but including the remuneration of any one or more of such designated officers who are actually performing such duties as are ordinarily undertaken by a superintendent, foreman or .workman. If any operations as above defined are undertaken by this Employer but are not described or rated in said Declarations, this Employer agrees to pay the premium there-on, at the time of the final adjustment of the premium in accordance with Condition C hereof, at the rates, and in compliance with the rules of the Manual of Rates in use by the Company upon the date of issue of this Policy. At the end of the Policy Period the actual amount of the remuneration earned by employees during such Period shall be exhibited to the Company, as provided in Condition C hereof, and the earned premium adjusted in accordance therewith at the rates and under the conditions herein specified. If the earned premium, thus computed, is greater than the advance premium paid, this Employer shall im mediately pay the additional amount to the Company, if less, the Company shall return to this Employer the unearned portion but in any event the Company shall retain the Minimum Premium stated in said Declarations. All premiums provided by this Policy, or by any endorsement hereon, shall be fully earned whether any such Workmen's Compensation Law, or any part of such, is now or shall hereafter be declared invalid or unconstitutional

COLORADO PRESCRIBED FORM For Attachment to

STANDARD WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY POLICY when insurance is afforded under the WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ACT of Colorado to complete the

contract as provided in the Policy

1. The obligations of Paragraph One (a) of the Policy apply to the Workmen's Compensation Law herein cited: Article 7, Chapter 97, 1935 Colorado Statutes Annotated, known and cited as the "Workmen's

Compensation Act of Colorado,"

and all laws amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto which are or may become effective during the Policy Period, here-inafter referred to as "this Act."

2. The employee shall have a first lien upon any amount which shall become owing to this Employer from the Com-pany, and the Company may and shall pay the same directly to the said employee or his dependents, thereby discharging to the extent of such payment the obligation of the Employer to the employee.

3. Unless this Employer furnishes proof satisfactory to the Company for or on behalf of any lessee, sub-lessee, con-tractor, sub-concon-tractor, or other person, who undertakes for this employer any part of the business operations covered by the Policy under the conditions set forth in Section 328 or Section 329 of this Act, that such lessee, sub-lessee, contractor, sub-contractor, or other person is himself an Employer as defined in this Act in the doing of such work and had before com-mencing said work insured and kept insured his liability for compensation as in this Act provided, the remuneration of such lessee, sub-lessee, contractor, sub-contractor or other person, subject to a maximum individual remuneration of $1500 per annum if the actual remuneration is greater than such amount, and the remuneration of all his employees, or if this Employer does not furnish record of such remuneration, the entire contract price of such contracted or sub-contracted work, shall be included in the return of remuneration upon which premium for the Policy is computed. Such remuneration or contract price shall in all respects be governed by the same terms, conditions and requirements of the policy as the remuneration of the direct employees of this Employer.

4. If this Employer is a corporation, the remuneration of the President, any Vice-President, Secretary or Treasurer elected or appointed in accordance with the charter and by-laws of such corporation shall be disclosed and premium shall be paid thereon, subject to a maximum individual remuneration of $1500 per annum, if the actual remuneration is greater than such amount. The remuneration so determined of each executive officer shall be assigned without division to the classifica-tion for clerical office employees provided the remuneraclassifica-tion so determined of each executive officer who actually performs such duties as are ordinarily undertaken by a superintendent, foreman or workman shall be assigned without division to the classification which is applicable to any such duties in which such executive officer is engaged.

5. If the premium as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Policy is less than $500 there shall be added thereto the applicable Loss and Expense Constants expressed in the Declarations, unless such addition shall increase the premium to an amount in excess of $500, in which event only such portions of the Loss and Expense Constants shall be added as will bring the amount of the premium to $500. Inclusion of the Loss and Expense Constants or any portions thereof in the Estimated Advance Premium is subject to final adjustment upon audit. In the event of cancellation by the Company, pro rata portions of the Loss and Expense Constants apply subject otherwise to the provisions hereof. In the event of cancel-lation by the Employer, the short rate portion of the Loss Constant and the entire Expense Constant apply subject otherwise to the provisions hereof. The Minimum Premium of the Policy includes the Loss and Expense Constants. If the Policy affords insurance in two or more states, the provisions of this paragraph respecting the Loss Constant apply to the applicable Loss Constant expressed in the Declarations for the State of Colorado on the basis of the premium for operations in that state, and the provisions of this paragraph respecting the Expense Constant apply on the basis of the total premium for the Policy.

6. If the Industrial Commission of Colorado acting under the provisions of Section 302 of this Act shall approve any changes in classification, rates or systems of rating applicable to this Policy, such changes skall become effective with respect to this Policy as of the effective date of such approval; and such changes with the effective date thereof shall be stated in an endorsement issued to form a part of this Policy.

7. The Policy does not afford insurance under Paragraph one (b) with respect to occupational disease. The pro-visions of Paragraphs Two, Three and Four do not apply with respect to occupational disease for which no insurance is afforded under Paragraph One (b).

8. The limit of the Company's liability under Paragraph One (b) for all damages from one or more claims arising from each accident is $25,000.

This endorsement forms a part of Policy No.

B. _{This Policy may be cancelled at any time by either of the parties upon written notice to the other party stating when} not less than ten days thereafter cancellation shall be effective. The effective date of such cancellation shall then be the end of the Policy Period. The law of any state, in which this Policy applies, which requires that notice of cancellation shall be given to any Board, Commission or other state agency is hereby made a part of this Policy and cancellation in such state shall not be effective except in compliance with such law. The remuneration of employees for the Policy Period stated in said Decla-rations shall be computed upon the basis of the actual remuneration to the date of cancellation determined as herein provided. If such cancellation is at the Company's request, the earned premium shall be adjusted pro rata as provided in Condition A. If such cancellation is at this Employer's request, the earned premium shall be computed and adjusted at short rates, in accordance with the table printed hereon, but such short rate premium shall not be less than the Minimum Premium stated in said Declarations. If this Employer, when requesting cancellation, is actually retiring from the business herein described, then the earned premium shall be computed and adjusted pro rata. Notice of cancellation shall be served upon this Employer as the law requires, but, if no different requirement, notice mailed to the address of this Employer herein given shall be a sufficient notice, and the check of the Company similarly mailed, a sufficient tender of any unearned premium.

C. _{The Company shall be permitted at all reasonable times during the Policy Period, to inspect the plants, works, machinery} and appliances covered by this Policy, and to examine this Employer's books at any time during the Policy Period, and any extension thereof, and within one year after its final expiration, so far as they relate to the remuneration earned by any employees of this Employer while this Policy was in force.

D. _{The obligations of Paragraph One (a) foregoing are hereby declared to be the direct obligations and promises of the} Company to any injured employee covered hereby, or, in the event of his death, to his dependents; and to each such employee or such dependent the Company is hereby made directly and primarily liable under said obligations and promises. This contract is made for the benefit of such employees or such dependents and is enforceable against the Company, by any such employee or such dependent in his name or on his behalf, at any time and in any manner permitted by law, whether claims or proceedings are brought against the Company alone or jointly with this Employer. If the law of any state in which the Policy is applicable provides for the enforcement of the rights of such employees or such dependents by any Commission, Board or other state agency for the benefit of such employees or such dependents, then the provisions of such law are made a part hereof, as respects any matter subject thereto, as fully as if written herein. The obligations and promises of the Company as set forth in this para-graph shall not be affected by the failure of this Employer to do or refrain from doing any act required by the Policy; nor by any default of this Employer after the accident in the payment of premiums or in the giving of any notice required by the Policy or otherwise; nor by the death, insolvency, bankruptcy, legal incapacity or inability of this Employer, nor by any pro-ceeding against him as a result of which the conduct of this Employer's business may be and continue to be in charge of an executor, administrator, receiver, trustee, assignee, or other person.

E. _{As between the employee and the Company, notice to or knowledge of this Employer of any injury or death covered} hereby shall be notice or knowledge as the case may be of the Company; the jurisdiction of this Employer for the purposes of any Workmen's Compensation Law covered hereby shall be jurisdiction of the Company and the Company- shall in all things be bound by and subject to the findings, judgments, awards, decrees, orders or decisions rendered against this Employer in the form and manner provided by such laws and within the terms, limitations and provisions of this policy not inconsistent with such laws.

F. _{This Employer, upon the occurrence of an accident shall give immediate written notice thereof to the Company with} the fullest information obtainable. He shall give like notice with full particulars of any claim made on account of such accident. If, thereafter, any suit or other proceeding is instituted against this Employer he shall immediately forward to the Company every summons, notice or other process served upon him. Nothing elsewhere contained in this Policy shall relieve this Em-ployer of his obligations to the Company with respect to notice as herein imposed upon him.

G. _{No action shall lie against the Company to recover upon any claim or for any loss under Paragraph One (b)} forego-ing unless brought after the amount of such claim or loss shall have been fixed and rendered certain either by final judgment against this Employer after trial of the issue or by agreement between the parties with the written consent of the Company, nor in any event unless brought within two years thereafter.

H. _{If the method of serving notice of cancellation, or the limit of time for notice of accident or for any legal proceeding} herein contained is at variance with any specific statutory provision in relation thereto, in force in the state in which any of the business operations herein described are conducted, such specific statutory provision shall supersede any such conditions in this contract inconsistent therewith.

No assignment of interest under this Policy shall bind the Company unless the consent of the Company shall be endorsed hereon.

J. _{If this Employer carries any other insurance covering a claim covered by this Policy, he shall not recover from the} Company a larger proportion of any such claim than the sum hereby insured bears to the whole amount of valid and coflectible insurance.

K. _{The Company shall be subrogated in case of any payment under this Policy, to the extent of such payment to ati} rights of recovery therefor vested by law either in this Employer or, in any employee or his dependents claiming hereunder, against persons, corporations, associations or estates.

L. _{No condition or provision of this Policy shall be waived or altered except by endorsement attached hereto signed by} the President, a Vice-President, Secretary, or Assistant Secretary of the Company; nor shall notice to any agent, nor shall knowledge possessed by any agent, or by any other person, be held to effect a waiver or change in any part of this contract. The personal pronoun herein used to refer to this Employer or to an injured employee or dependent, shall apply regardless of number or gender.

M. _{The statements in Items 1. to 6 inclusive, in the Declarations herein contained, are trim; those stated as estimates only} are believed to be true. This Policy is issued upon such statements and in consideration of the provisions of the Policy respect-ing its premium and the payment of the premium in such Declarations expressed.

As your records will indicate some time ago we endorsed

the above caption policy amending the term of coverage to expire

January 1st, 1946. In putting through this change, we pro-rated

the loss and expense constant and minimum premium. Houever, the

Rating Bureau having jurisdiction filed a disapproval notice

ad-vising us that it was not permissible to pro-rate these charges

and that re should charge the full annual minimum premium and loss

and expense constant. We contested this but Aere unsuccessful,

and it is now necessary that we abide by the rules of the Rating

Bureau.

In order not to penalize the insured, we can charge

them a pro-rated premium for the term by cancelling the

endorse-ment which amends the term of the policy thereby complying with

the Bureau rules, And setting-up a diary to cancel and rewrite

the policv as of January 1st, 1946.

The purpose of this lettg=r is to explain the matter to

your satisfaction and also to furnish you with the details that

necessitate the issuance of the cancellation of the endorsement which

is attached to the policy and which amends the term. The cancellation

endorsement should reach your office in the near future.

As per our telephone conversation this morning, we

here-with quote letter received from the Fidelity & Casualty Co. in regard

to the above captioned policies.

As per your instructions, we have advised Mr. J. P.

qtzmaurice to get in touch with you in order to make an appointmeit.

"The Mountain States Compen9 tion Rating Bureau has

written to us pointing out that, according to their records, the

operations of both of these insureds are properly classified under

code #02511 "Irrigation works Operation". They have also queried

our payroll estimates because they do not understand the reason

for indicating a greater payroll under code #8810 than under code

#7520.

Our file contains only meager information concerning

the operations of both of these insureds and, consequently, are

wondering whether it will be possible for our inspector to obtain

adequate information at the Post Of 'ice address of the insured rather

than attempting to inspect the operations in Colorado. If tnis can

be arranged, I would appreciate your advising us of the name of the

person to interview and, if convenient, arrange for an appointmant.

The Bureau has also advised us that they still have on

file a policy of another company to afford coverage for the Keesee
