2004The subcontractor, Kimmons, was to both defend and indemnify the general contractor, Keiwit, for any sums expended as compensation for injuries to third parties, as a result of any claims arising due to the acts or omissions of Kimmons or its agents, unless the injuries resulted from the negligence of the indemnitees. 2 In fact, Kimmons does not argue that the clause is ambiguous, but instead asserts, in effect, that it does not apply because the "plain terms of the contract can[not] be carried out consistent with settled rules of law."
