Confusing Indemnification Clause

Ricardo Meza

Hello everyone!  I'm not looking for legal advise, just your fantastic opinions.  

I'm looking at a contract from a contractor and it includes a confusing Indemnification clause?  Or at least it's confusing to me.  

It states...

"To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Contractor and its agents and employees, from and against claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorney's fees, arising out of or resulting from performance of the work or providing of materials to the extent caused in whole or in part by negligence or wrongful acts or omissions of, or a breach of this agreement by, the Contractor, a subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone whose acts they are legally responsible for."

It reads as though the Owner is to defend the Contractor against it's subcontractors or its own crappy work?  

Am I missing something here?  Or is this a bad cut and paste job by the Contractor?
