This statement has it backward: “In order to add an additional insured, the additional entity must contractually agree to indemnify the named insured.” The arrangement is actually that the named insured must agree to indemnify the additional entity, and secures that commitment by making the additional entity an additional insured under the named insured’s policy.
The article gets it right in general, it’s just that one sentence that needs to be revised.
