All certificates of insurance shall provide that Keeneland shall receive at least thirty (30) days advance notice by the insurer of any cancellation or material change in coverage. Owner(s) and Trainer indemnify and hold Keeneland harmless against any claims, liabilities, judgments, or costs (including attorney fees) arising out of the Trainer and/or Owner(s)’s failure to obtain insurance as appropriate and required by law.

Trainer covenants that the Owner(s) have agreed to the foregoing conditions and further agrees that he will deliver their written consent and agreement to such conditions upon request of Keeneland. Trainer will indemnify and hold Keeneland harmless from and against any claim or cause of action (including any expense incurred therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ and other fees) that may be asserted by or on behalf of any person which is inconsistent with the release and indemnification provisions set forth in the foregoing paragraphs. This Agreement will be governed by, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
