<br /> person or entity for whom Lessee is legally responsible. The Lessee is obligated to defend,
<br /> indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor pursuant to this Section regardless of whether a
<br /> Claim is asserted directly against the Lessor, or whether it is asserted indirectly against the
<br /> Lessor, e.g., a Claim is asserted against someone else who then seeks contribution or

<br /> agents and the Lessor, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers, the Lessee's
<br /> liability hereunder shall be only to the extent of Lessee's negligence. Solely and expressly

<br /> Lessor on the same terms and conditions as the Lessee pursuant to this Section. In the
<br /> event it is necessary for Lessor to incur attorney's fees, legal expenses or other costs to
<br /> enforce the provisions of this Lease, all such fees, expenses and costs shall be recoverable
<br /> from the Lessee.
<br /> e. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE. The Party seeking indemnification (the
