XVlI. NOTICES: All notices, certificates or other communications shall be sufficiently given when delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the parties at their respective places of business as set forth in the preamble to this agreement or at a place designated hereafter in writing by the parties. XVIII. SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST: The provisions of this agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns. XIX. INSURANCE AND LEGAL DEFENSE: It is the parties' intent that they each should pay any attorney's fees and legal defense costs resulting from or arising out of this agreement in the same proportion that each party's liability for the acts of its own officers, employees or agents bears to the parties' combined liability, if any, or pay such fees and costs equally when a claim against both parties is resolved and neither party is found liable, to the greatest extent the fees and costs are covered by the COUNTY's liability coverage or self-retention fund. The parties further intend that they be represented by the same attorney whenever reasonably possible and ethically permitted. Provider shall secure and keep in force during the term of this Agreement, from a company or pool authorized to provide the coverage in this COUNTY, general liability and errors and omissions coverage with minimum liability limits of $250,000 per person and at least $500,000 per occurrence covering its officers, employees, and agents for any and all claims of any nature which may in any manner result from or arise out of this Agreement. Provider shall furnish a certificate of insurance or memorandum of coverage and any endorsements required under this agreement to the undersigned COUNTY representative prior to commencement of this agreement, and shall also provide at least thirty (30) days' notice before such coverage of endorsements are canceled or modified. Provider shall also secure from its insurance company or government self-insurance pool a limited endorsement stating that the company or pool will provide a legal defense to the COUNTY, its officers, employees or agents, including attorney's fees, costs, disbursements, and other expenses associated with such defense under this agreement, for any and all claims of any nature brought by third parties against the COUNTY, its officers, employees or agents, including attorney's fees, costs, disbursements, and other expenses associated with such defense under this agreement, for any and all claims of any nature brought by third parties against the COUNTY, its officers, employees or agents which in any manner result from or arise out of this agreement. Such legal defense is not required if the COUNTY refuses to waive a potential conflict of interest that is waivable under the North Dakota Rules of Professional conduct. Said endorsement shall also provide that any attorney representing the COUNTY, its officers, employees or agents under this clause must first qualify and be appointed by the North Dakota Attorney General as a Special Assistant Attorney General as required under N.D.C.C. Section 54-12-08 and agree to follow the Special Assistant Attorney General Billing Policy. 4
