Insurance
Company's contractual obligation to perform necessary maintenance work satisfied the "ongoing operations" language under insurance policy's terms, and its alleged failure to do so places company within parameters of allegations in underlying injury suit by construction employee, thus triggering coverage. Although company hired subcontractor company to fix concrete crusher prior to accident, company retained full possession and control of crusher and had duty to repair and maintain equipment under rental agreement as "ongoing operation" for this subcontractor. Thus, subcontractor was additional insured under policy, and insurer owed duty to defend it in underlying suit. (QUINN and CONNORS, concurring.)
