Caterer shall compensate the County for any loss, damage, spoilage or shortage of <br />food (including attorney's fees and the cost of litigation) caused by negligent acts or <br />omissions of Caterer's agents or employees in carrying out the terms of this <br />Agreement. Caterer shall defend, indemnify and otherwise hold harmless the County <br />against any claim or suit involving personal injury or property damage arising out of <br />the transportation of meals to the various project site(s) and any claim alleging <br />personal injury, sickness, and/or disease arising out of consumption of meals or other <br />food caused by the storage, preparation and delivery of meals to the meal site(s). <br />Caterer will not be responsible or liable for any of the above caused by the negligent <br />acts of County personnel after acceptance of meals. If a defect is found in the meals <br />or other food prepared by the Caterer, as between the County and the Caterer, it will <br />be presumed that the defect is the responsibility of the Caterer unless the Caterer can <br />establish the defect arises from some act or omission of the County. <br />20.

The County shall not incur any <br />expense or make any settlement without Caterer's consent. However, if Caterer <br />refuses or neglects to defend any such suit, the County may defend, adjust, or settle <br />any such claim, and the costs of such defense, adjustment or settlement, including <br />reasonable attorney's fees, shall be paid by Caterer. <br />
