Manager shall be designated as a named insured under each insurance policy procured by Manager. Such policies shall name Owner as an additional insured on liability policies and a named insured and loss payee under Property coverages. All deductibles, legal settlements and any other costs related to claims under the insurance policies required herein shall be Operating Expenses. Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Manager, or immediately upon Manager’s failure to procure the required insurance in accordance with this Agreement, Owner may elect, in its sole discretion, to procure and maintain as an Operating Expense, any of the insurance policies required and set forth under Exhibit “A”, except for Manager’s Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability insurance policies. In the event Owner elects to procure directly any of the required insurance policies, then Owner shall be the named insured under each policy and Manager shall be included as a named insured or additional insured as appropriate in Owner’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the parties acknowledge and agree that except as provided in subsection (ii) below, Owner has procured the insurance coverage required by Owner for the Property as of the Effective Date, and Owner shall
3
provide written notice to Manager directing Manager to obtain any required insurance coverage as described herein at such time as Owner deems necessary, and (ii) on the Effective Date, Manager shall provide Owner with a certificate of insurance or policy evidencing Manager’s Workmen’s Compensation, Employer’s Liability and the General Liability insurance required under Section 2 of Exhibit “A”, which General Liability insurance shall designate Owner as an additional insured thereunder as of the Effective Date.
2.3 Independent Contractor. Manager is acting hereunder as an independent contractor. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and within reasonable limits and subject to the needs of tenants and third parties doing business in and on the Property, Manager shall determine when and how to perform Manager's services hereunder. Manager may delegate any duties hereunder to Manager's employees or agents. All payroll and related expenses for Manager's employees concerning the Property shall be incurred by Owner, as described in the Budget. Manager, at Manager's expense, shall provide all office facilities necessary to perform Manager's duties hereunder.
2.4 Indemnification. Manager indemnifies, defends, protects and holds harmless Owner from any claim, loss, cost, penalty or expense incurred as a result of the violation of law by, or the negligence or willful misconduct of, Manager or Manager's employees and agents. Owner indemnifies, defends, protects and holds harmless Manager from any claim, loss, cost, penalty or expense incurred as a result of: (1) the violation of law by, or the negligence or willful misconduct of, Owner or Owner’s employees, contractors and agents; (2) the ownership or operation of the Property, except as a result of Manager’s default under this Agreement or the negligence or willful misconduct of Manager or its employees and agents.
