Marlena,

With respects to the insurance and indemnification language contained in th= is agreement, the Fund’s coverage documents would provide for indemni= fication of liability assumed via a mutual aid agreement (including indemni= fication for defense costs). This coverage is pursuant to the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the J= IF Casualty Insurance Policy. Costs outside of the coverage documents would= not be provided through the Fund.  The Title 59 (Tort Claims Act) pro= tections and limitations would be afforded in the same manner regardless of the liability assumed in any agreement.
The intention of the cross-indemnification language in the agreement is to = have each party obligate itself to compensate the other party for harm or l= oss to avoid having both parties paying the same claim twice.

Barbara
