4. Parties to this agreement shall be required to pay compensation to other parties to this agreement for services rendered hereunder. The receiving party shall pay all fuel, oil, repair, or damage caused in the commission of the service rendered, including salaries, food, lodging, and transportation for operators. Equipment operating under this plan shall be reimbursed using the current rate schedule established by the North Dakota Highway Department, excluding profit. Proof of payments must be documented and filed. 5. This agreement shall remain in effect until a subsequent agreement is signed or until terminated by either party. Both commissions shall review this agreement annually. 6. It is mutually understood and agreed that this agreement does not relieve any of the parties hereto from the necessity and obligation of providing adequate resources within their own areas, and each party hereto agrees that it shall maintain reasonable and prudent diligence in keeping emergency equipment in its possession up to at least minimum operational standards of repair. 7. It is further mutually understood and agreed that the provisions of this agreement will be invoked only when, in the opinion of the officials designated under paragraph two, it is deemed necessary to declare an emergency and to request outside assistance because all of the normal facilities at their command have been exhausted, and outside assistance is needed to control the emergency. If an official suspects the situation may require outside aid, the other parties should be informed immediately so that resources can be put on standby status. 8. This agreement shall not be construed as deemed to be an agreement for the benefit of any third party or parties, and no third party or parties shall have any right of action hereunder for any cause whatsoever. Any services performed or expenditures made in connection with furnishing mutual aid under this agreement by either party hereto shall be deemed conclusively to be for the direct protection and benefit of the inhabitants and property of such party. Any liabilities incurred, as a direct result of support of a receiving government shall be borne by the receiving government. 9. Either party to this agreement may withdraw at any time upon a thirty (30) day written notice to the other party; thereafter such withdrawing party shall no longer be a party to this agreement.
