every kind, nature, and description, directly or indirectly arising from the Responding Party's Assistance during the Period of Assistance. The scope of the Receiving Party's duty to indemnify includes, but is not limited to, suits arising from, or related to, negligent or wrongful use of equipment or supplies-on loan to the Receiving Party, or faulty workmanship or other negligent acts, errors, or omissions by the Responding Party personnel. The Receiving Party shall not be required to defend and indemnify the Responding Party for any willful or wanton misconduct of the Responding Party or its officer, employees, volunteers or agents. Under no circumstances, however, shall a party be required to pay on behalf of itself and other parties, any amounts in excess of the limits of liability established in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466 applicable to any one party. The intent of this article is to impose on each Receiving Party a limited duty to defend and indemnify a Responding Party for claims arising within the Receiving 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. The Receiving Party's duty to indemnify is subject to, and shall be applied consistent with, the conditions set forth in Article X. ARTICLE IX DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT Each Party shall be responsible for damages to or loss of its own equipment. Each Party waives the right to sue any other Party for any damages to or loss of its equipment, even if the damages or losses were caused wholly or partially by the negligence of any other Party or its officers, employees, or volunteers. ARTICLE X WORKERS' COMPENSATION Each Party shall be responsible for injuries or death of its own personnel. Each Party will maintain workers' compensation insurance or self-insurance coverage, covering its personnel while they are providing Assistance pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party waives the right to sue another Party for any workers' compensation benefits paid to its own personnel while they are providing Assistance pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party waives the right to sue another Party for any workers' compensation benefits paid to its own employee or volunteer or their dependents, even if the injuries were caused wholly or partially by the negligence of another Party or its officers, employees or volunteers. ARTICLE XI INSURANCE Parties to this Agreement shall maintain the following liability coverages: (1) commercial general liability; and (2) automobile liability, including owned, hired, and non-owned automobiles. Each policy shall have a limit at least equal to the maximum municipal liability limit in Section 466.04, subd. 1. If the policy contains a general aggregate limit, the general aggregate limit shall not be less than double the maximum municipal liability limit in Section 466.04, subd. 1. 8
