This endorsement is identical to CG 20 33 except that it adds a new group as automatic additional insureds. This group is any party the named insured is required to make additional insureds based on a construction contract with another party. The named insured is not required to have a contract with the others. However, when the construction contract expires, all automatic additional insureds that were part of that contract are no longer additional insureds.
