3.    Commercial General Liability insurance with limits for bodily injury and property damage liability of not less than *** personal injury each occurrence, *** general aggregate and products/completed operations coverage which shall include premises/operations liability, independent contractors liability, and broad form contractual liability specifically in support of, but not limited to, the indemnity provisions set forth in this Agreement.

7.    Failure to secure the insurance coverages, or the failure to comply fully with any of the insurance provisions of this Agreement as may be necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement. The lack of insurance coverage does not reduce or limit Providers responsibility to indemnify Dell as set forth in this Agreement. Any and all deductibles and premiums associated with the above-described insurance policies shall be assumed by, for the account of, and at the sole risk of Provider.
 
8.    Dell reserves the right to review the insurance coverage requirements of this Agreement and to make reasonable adjustments to such requirements or to require other types of policies to support the level of Services being performed by Provider or the purchases being made by Dell from Provider at any time, at Providers sole cost, unless otherwise agreed to by Dell.
