Answer: xSupplementary xConditions. xProject-specific xinsurance xrequirements, xsuch xas

Both xAIA xA201 xand xEJCDC xC-700 x(General xConditions) xcontain xbasic xinsurance

xSupplementary xConditions, xincludes xmodel xlanguage, xas xdoes xAIA xA503—2007).
xHowever, xwith xits x2017 xdocuments, xthe xAIA xextracted xthe xspecific xrequirements xfor
xcertain xtypes xof xinsurance xand xcreated xat xnew xexhibit xto xAIA xA101 x(Owner-
