Except as herein otherwise specified, the MUNICIPALITY shall not be liable for <br /> compensation or indemnity to any COUNTY employee for injury or sickness arising out <br /> of the performance of services pursuant to this Agreement, and the COUNTY hereby <br /> agrees to hold harmless the MUNICIPALITY against any such claim. <br /> <br /> 3. The MUNICIPALITY, its officers, and employees, shall not be deemed to assume any <br /> liability for the intentional or negligent acts of the COUNTY or the COUNTY'S <br /> employees performing services pursuant to this Agreement, and the COUNTY shall <br /> hold the MUNICIPALITY, its officers, and employees harmless from and shall defend <br /> and indemnify the MUNICIPALITY, its officers, and employees against any claim for <br /> damages arising out of the COUNTY'S performance of services pursuant to this <br /> Agreement. <br /> <br /> 4. The COUNTY, its officers, and employees shall not be deemed to assume any liability <br /> for intentional or negligent acts of the MUNICIPALITY or of any other officers, agent or <br /> employee thereof, and the MUNICIPALITY shall hold the COUNTY and its officers and <br /> employees harmless from, and shall defend and indemnify the COUNTY and its officers <br /> and employees against any claim for damages arising out of the <br /> MUNICIPALITY'S performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. <br /> <br /> 5. The COUNTY agrees to maintain, during the term of this Agreement, automobile, <br /> general liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability insurance in amounts <br /> deemed appropriate by the COUNTY.

Costs of self-insurance shall <br /> include reserves, claims and damage payments, and administration costs required to <br /> maintain self-insurance. <br /> <br /> 6.
