VII. Liability <br /> Subd. 1. For the purposes of the Minnesota Municipal Tort Liability Act (Minn. Stat. <br /> 466), the employees and officers of the Responding Party are deemed to be employees <br /> • (as defined in Minn. Stat. 466.01, subdivision 6) of the Requesting Party. <br /> Subd. 2. The Requesting Party agrees to defend and indemnify the Responding Party <br /> against any claims brought or actions filed against the Responding Party or any officer, <br /> employee, or volunteer of the Responding Party for injury to, death of, or damage to the <br /> property of any third person or persons, arising from the performance and provision of <br /> assistance in responding to a request for assistance by the Requesting Party pursuant to <br /> this agreement. <br /> Under no circumstances, however, shall a party be required to pay on behalf of itself and <br /> other parties, any amounts in excess of the limits on liability established in Minnesota <br /> Statutes Chapter 466 applicable to any one party. The limits of liability for some or all of <br /> the parties may not be added together to determine the maximum amount of liability for <br /> any party. <br /> The intent of this subdivision is to impose on each Requesting Party a limited duty to <br /> defend and indemnify a Responding Party for claims arising within the Requesting <br /> Party's jurisdiction subject to the limits of liability under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466. <br /> The purpose of creating this duty to defend and indemnify is to simplify the defense of <br /> claims by eliminating conflicts among defendants, and to permit liability claims against <br /> multiple defendants from a single occurrence to be defended by a single attorney. <br /> Subd. 3. No party to this agreement nor any officer of any Party shall be liable to any <br /> other Party or to any other person for failure of any party to furnish assistance to any <br /> other party, or for recalling assistance, both as described in this agreement. <br /> VIII. Charges to the Requesting Party <br /> Subd. 1. A Responding Party to this agreement will levy no charges for assistance <br /> rendered to a Requesting Party under the terms of this agreement unless that assistance <br /> continues for a period of more than eight(8)hours. The Requesting Party shall <br /> regardless to the length of time of the assistance, reimburse the Responding Party for <br /> supplies used. If assistance provided under this agreement continues for more than eight <br /> (8)hours, the Responding Party will submit to the Requesting Party an itemized bill for <br /> the actual cost of any assistance provided after the initial eight (8)hour period, including <br /> salaries, overtime, materials and supplies and other necessary expenses; and the <br /> Requesting Party will reimburse the party providing the assistance for that amount. <br /> Subd. 2. Such charges are not contingent upon the availability of federal or state <br /> government <br /> funds. <br /> Page: 3 of 4 <br />
