Sec. 5. (a) An indemnification agreement, hold harmless agreement, or similar agreement or conveyance is not effective to transfer the liability imposed under section 4 of this chapter from:
(1) the owner or operator of a petroleum facility; or
(2) a person who may be liable for a release or threatened release under this chapter;
to another person. However, this subsection does not bar an agreement to insure, hold harmless, or indemnify a party to an agreement for any liability under this chapter.
(b) This section does not bar a cause of action that:
(1) an owner or operator;
(2) a responsible party; or
(3) another person subject to liability under this chapter;
has or would have, by reason of subrogation or otherwise, against any person.
