3.2 Without regard to negligence, fault or strict liability
on the part of any person, the Contractor covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the CDTA, its subsidiaries agents and employees and each of them (the “Indemnitees”), against any and all claims, damages, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees which may be imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the Indemnitees, arising from:
