In consideration of the premium stated in the policy to which this

within the limits of liability described herein, any final judgment
recovered against the insured for public liability resulting from
negligence in the operation, maintenance or use of motor vehicles
subject to the financial responsibility requirements of Sections
29 and 30 of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 regardless of whether
or not each motor vehicle is specifically described in the policy
and whether or not such negligence occurs on any route or in
any territory authorized to be served by the insured or elsewhere.
Such insurance as is afforded, for public liability, does not apply
to injury to or death of the insured’s employees while engaged in
the course of their employment, or property transported by the
insured, designated as cargo. It is understood and agreed that
no condition, provision, stipulation, or limitation contained in
the policy, this endorsement, or any other endorsement thereon,

Environmental Restoration means restitution for the loss, damage,

conditions, and limitations in the policy to which the endorsement
is attached shall remain in full force and effect as binding between
the insured and the company. The insured agrees to reimburse
the company for any payment made by the company on account
of any accident, claim, or suit involving a breach of the terms of
the policy, and for any payment that the company would not have
been obligated to make under the provisions of the policy except
for the agreement contained in this endorsement.
It is further understood and agreed that, upon failure of the
company to pay any final judgment recovered against the insured
as provided herein, the judgment creditor may maintain an action
in any court of competent jurisdiction against the company to
compel such payment.
The limits of the company’s liability for the amounts prescribed
in this endorsement apply separately to each accident and any
payment under the policy because of anyone accident shall not
operate to reduce the liability of the company for the payment of
final judgments resulting from any other accident.
