Public Safety Purchasing Joint Agreement Page 3 personnel. Each party will maintain workers' compensation insurance or self-insurance coverage, covering its own personnel while they are providing services under this Agreement. Each party waives the right to sue any other party for any workers' compensation benefits paid to its own employee or volunteer or their dependants, even if the injuries were caused wholly or partially by the negligence of any other party or its officers, employees, or volunteers. 6. Indemnification Each party agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other parties against any and all claims, liability, loss, damage, or expense arising under the provisions of this Agreement and caused by or resulting from negligent acts or omissions of the party and/or those of its employees or agents. Under no circumstances, however, may a party be required to pay on behalf of itself and another party any amounts in excess of the limits on liability established in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466 applicable to any one party. The limits of liability for two or more parties may not be added together to determine the maximum amount of liability for one party. The intent of this paragraph is to impose on each party a limited duty to defend and indemnify each other subject to the limits of liability under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466. The purpose of creating this duty to defend and indemnify is to simplify the defense of claims by eliminating conflicts among the parties and to permit liability claims against both parties from a single occurrence to be defended by a single attorney. 7. Duration This agreement will be in force from the date of execution by at least two parties and notification to the secretary of the Operating Committee. Any party may withdraw from this Agreement upon 30 days written notice to the other party or parties to the Agreement. Upon execution of all of the parties to the Prior Agreements, the Prior Agreements will terminate. 8. Execution A separate execution page is provided for each party. [Signature pages follow]
