Instructions

Define the scope of indemnification clearly: what losses are covered, what triggers the obligation, and any caps or exclusions. Specify the procedures for tendering defense and controlling litigation. Address insurance requirements. Note that indemnification for one's own negligence may be unenforceable in some states.
