STATON, Judge,
concurring.
I concur with the Majority but for a different reason. The contract has numerous references to Michigan law, but these references are to standards and benchmarks as to coverage. There is no choice of law provision in the contract. Mere references to various provisions of a state law in a contract to shed meaning on particular provisions of the contract are no substitute for a choice of law provision. Too, under the circumstances, any interpretation of the contract must be strictly construed against the party preparing the contract. Noblesville Milling Co. v. Johnson, 116 Ind.App. 437, 65 N.E.2d 250, 255 (1946).
