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