Each party that hires subcontractors shall require any non-public subcontractors, prior to commencement of work set out under an
agreement between that party and the non-public subcontractor, to:
Defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Governments, its agencies, officers and employees, from and against claims based on the
vicarious liability of the Governments or its agents, but not against claims based on the Government’s contributory negligence,
comparative and/or contributory negligence or fault, sole negligence, or intentional misconduct. The legal defense provided by the
Subcontractor to the Governments under this provision must be free of any conflicts of interest, even if retention of separate legal
counsel for the Governments is necessary. Subcontractor also agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Governments harmless for
all costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred if the Governments prevail in an action against Subcontractor in establishing and
litigating the indemnification coverage provided herein. This obligation shall continue after the termination of this agreement.

under N.D.C.C. Section 54-12-08. Subcontractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary (i.e., pay first) as respects any insurance,
self-insurance or self-retention maintained by the Governments. Any insurance, self-insurance or self-retention maintained by the
Governments shall be excess of the Contractor’s insurance and the Subcontractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with them.
The insolvency or bankruptcy of the insured Subcontractor shall not release the insurer from payment under the policy, even when
such insolvency or bankruptcy prevents the insured Subcontractor from meeting the retention limit under the policy. Any deductible
amount or other obligations under the Subcontractor’s policy(ies) shall be the sole responsibility of the Subcontractor. This insurance
may be in policy or policies of insurance, primary and excess, including the so-called umbrella or catastrophe form and be placed with
insurers rated “A-” or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. The Governments will be indemnified, saved, and held harmless to the full
