its officers, directors, affiliates, subcontractors or agents or anyone directly or indirectly employed by

arising from the presence upon or performance of activities by the Contractor or its Personnel with respect

negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnitees, and is in addition to any other rights or remedies, which
Indemnitees may have under the law or under this Agreement.
Claims against the Indemnitees by the Contractor or its Personnel shall not limit the Contractor's
indemnification obligations hereunder in any way, whether or not such claims against Indemnitees may
