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.
