                                        INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR INDEMNIFICATION CLAUSE

              The contractor and the owner mutually agree that the relationship formed by this agreement is intended
   to be that of customer and independent contractor, and is not an employment relationship.

              The contractor hereby represents that it is not an entity over whom the National Labor Relations Board
   has ever declined jurisdiction.

              The contractor further agrees and covenants that, should a safety issue or complaint arise from, or
   involving, an employee, agent or representative of the contractor; the contractor will indemnify and hold the
   owner harmless, and will assume all legal and financial responsibility for said issue or complaint including, but
   not limited to, all fines, fees, costs, corrective action, provision of equipment, training and administration.

              The contractor further agrees and covenants that, should a safety related issue, suit, or complaint be
   filed against the owner by an employee, agent, or representative of the contractor, the contractor will pay all
   associated costs of the owner, as the owner deems necessary, in order to defend, correct, or resolve said
   issue or complaint.

                                                             Signature:      _________________________________________
