Because the provisions of this Section 7.03 preclude the assignment of any claim mentioned herein by way of subrogation or otherwise to an insurance company or any other person, each party to this Lease shall give to each insurance company which has issued to it one or more policies of fire and extended coverage insurance notice of the terms of the mutual releases contained in this Section 7.03 and have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of insurance coverages by reason of these mutual releases.

This waiver also applies to each party's directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners and agents. This waiver does not apply to claims caused by a party's willful misconduct. Since this mutual waiver will preclude the assignment of any such claim by subrogation or otherwise to an insurance company, each party shall give to its insurance carrier written notice of the waiver of subrogation contained in this Section 8.04, and shall have its insurance policy properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of such policy by reason of such waiver of subrogation.
