(c)

The Authority shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the County, its elected and appointed officers, employees and agents from and against any and all liability, including defense costs and legal fees, resulting from claims for damages of any nature whatsoever, including but not limited to personal injury or property damages arising from or connected with any act or omission of any officer, employee or agent of the Authority.
