VIII. Term of Agreement This Agreement shall be in full force and effect from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2029, subject to Section XVI Withdrawal of Party/Termination of Agreement. IX. Liability and Indemnification For purposes of the Minnesota Municipal Tort Liability Act (Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466), the employees and officers of a Providing Party are deemed to be employees (as defined in Minnesota Statutes, §466.01, Subdivision 6) of a Requesting Party. A Requesting Party agrees to defend and indemnify a Providing Party against any claims brought or actions filed against a Providing Party or any officer, employee, or volunteer of a Providing Party for injury to, death of, or damage to the property of any third person or persons, arising from the performance and provision of Assistance in responding to a request for Assistance by the Requesting Party pursuant to this Agreement. Under no circumstances, however, shall a Party be required to pay on behalf of itself and the other Parties, any amounts in excess of the limits on liability established in Minnesota Statutes §466.04 applicable to any one Party. The limits of liability for any or all Parties may not be added together to determine the maximum amount of liability for any Party. The intent of this subdivision is to impose on each Requesting Party a limited duty to defend and indemnify a Providing Party for claims arising within a Requesting Party’s jurisdiction 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 defendants, and to permit liability claims against multiple defendants from a single occurrence to be defended by a single attorney. No Party to this Agreement nor any officer of any Party shall be liable to any other Party or to any other person for failure of any Party to furnish Assistance to the other Parties, or for recalling Assistance, both as described in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent or hinder the pursuit of applicable State or Federal benefits to personnel who respond or render Assistance pursuant to an Emergency request and sustain injury or death in the course of, and arising out of, their employment and response or Assistance under this Agreement. A Providing Party shall not be responsible for any injuries, damages or losses arising from the acts or omissions of personnel of a Requesting Party and its officers, employees, agents, and assigns. 5
