• rejecting trial court’s holding that indemnification provision was limited to third-party claims because the language of the contract did not limit indemnification to third-party cases
• contract in which subcontractor agrees to indemnify for damages “caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder” clearly relieves indemnitee of own negligence
• subcontractor agrees to indemnify contractor \regardless of whether or not [loss or damage] is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder\
• “[A]n indemnifying agreement will not be construed to relieve the indemnitee from the effect of its own negligence unless the agreement provides for it in ‘clear and unequivocal’ language.”
