Indemnification: Buyer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and assigns from and against all claims, losses, damages, suits, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), costs, penalties, fines, assessments, citations, directives, regulatory actions, civil lawsuits, litigation, demands, judgments, and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or related to Distributor’s failure to ensure that the corn masa flour SKU is fortified with 0.7mg/lb of folic acid as required under California Health & Safety Code § 110531 or Alabama Code § 20-1-79, as applicable.
