Manager shall not assume the liability for any employee action or negligence prohibiting the intent of this provision to be met.

 

(b)                                Neither Operators nor Manager shall knowingly take any action which may (1) cause any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the operation of the Facility to institute any proceeding for the rescission or revocation of any necessary license, permit, consent or approval, or (2) adversely affect Operators’ right to accept and obtain payments under Medicare, Medicaid, or any other public or private medical payment program; however, this Agreement in no way guarantees or warrants that any or all of the above will not or could not occur.

 

(c)                                 Manager shall, with the written approval of Operators, have the right to contest by appropriate legal proceedings, diligently conducted in good faith, in the name of the Operators, the validity or application of any law, ordinance, rule, ruling, regulation, order or requirement of any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the operation of similar facilities.
