Manager will maintain and keep in force a comprehensive program of insurance insuring both Owner and Manager against risks commonly insured against by the owners and operators of comparable facilities, including without limitation (i) commercial general liability insurance insuring against loss, damage or injury to property or persons which might arise out of the occupancy, management, operation, or maintenance of the Facilities with bodily injury coverage of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per incident and not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate, (ii) worker’s compensation insurance in full compliance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations covering all employees of Manager performing work with respect to the Facilities operations, and (iii) automobile liability insurance with bodily injury limits of not less that One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the aggregate. Manager and Owner shall agree annually upon the precise scope of such program of insurance, including the types of coverage to be obtained, the policy limits of such policies, the self-insured retention and deductible to be maintained under any such policy and the identity of the insurance company(ies) providing such coverage. Owner and Manager will both be named insureds as to property insurance, commercial general liability insurance, automobile liability insurance and UST insurance, but only Manager (as the employer) shall be the named insured on the workers’ compensation insurance. Owner and Manager agree that in the event any Facility sustains a loss by reason of fire or other casualty which is covered by property insurance and such fire or casualty is caused in whole or in part by the acts or omissions of Manager, its agents, servants, or employees, then Owner agrees to look solely to its insurance proceeds and Owner shall have no right of recovery against Manager or its agents, servants or employees, and no third party shall have any right of recovery against Manager, its agents, servants, or employees by way of subrogation. Such subrogation provision between Manager and Owner shall be disclosed to Owner’s insurer. This provision shall apply with respect to any policies presently maintained or that may hereafter be acquired by Owner.  Manager shall provide a certificate to Owner showing all requirements set forth in this section.

8.2          Subrogation and Indemnity Provisions.

(a)           Any insurance which is procured and maintained which in any way is related to the Facilities or the authorized activities connected therewith, is for the sole benefit of the party securing such insurance and others named as insureds, and Manager and Owner hereby release the other from all rights of recovery under or through subrogation or otherwise for any loss or damage to the extent recovery is made from insurance.

(b)           Without limiting subsection (a) of this Section 8.2, Owner and Manager hereby waive against the other any and all claims and demands of whatsoever nature for damages, loss or injury to the other’s property in, upon or about the Facilities, except for claims and demands arising out of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Owner, Manager, or either of their respective agents, employees, officers or contractors.

10

(c)           Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold Manager and Manager’s agents, officers and employees harmless from all claims, losses, costs, damages or expenses resulting or arising from the failure by Owner to effect and maintain any insurance coverage required herein to be maintained by Owner.

(d)           Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold Owner and Owner’s agents, officers and employees harmless from all claims, losses, costs, damages or expenses resulting or arising from the failure by Manager to effect and maintain any insurance coverage required herein to be maintained by Manager.

9.3          Severability. If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9.4          No Joint Venture or Partnership. The relationship between Owner and Manager under the terms of this Agreement shall be that of independent parties, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Manager shall perform its duties and provide the services contemplated by this Agreement as an independent contractor. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, it is agreed that Owner is concerned only with the result of the performance of such duties and provision of such services and is not directing Manager as to particular means and methods of performing such duties and providing such services. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, joint venture or any other similar relationship. No personal liability shall accrue hereunder against any individual, officer, director, shareholder, representative or employee of Owner or Manager.

9.5          Dispute Resolution. Owner and Manager hereby mutually agree that any dispute or claim in law or equity arising out of this Agreement or any resulting transaction, including disputes or claims involving the parties to this Agreement, their officers, agents, or employees, shall be submitted to neutral, binding mediation. The parties agree to act in good faith to participate in mediation, and to identify a mutually acceptable mediator. If a mediator cannot be agreed upon by the parties, each party shall designate a mediator and those mediators shall select a third mediator who shall act as the neutral mediator, assisting the parties in attempting to reach a resolution.  Such mediator will render a final and binding decision on those unresolved items which shall be binding upon the parties and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Both parties shall share the cost of the dispute resolution process equally although attorneys and witnesses or specialists are the direct responsibility of each party and their fees and expenses shall be the responsibility of the individual parties.

9.6          Consequential Damages.
