Fifth Circuit -- Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Qore, Inc.

Where architect indemnified client against negligence claims, that contract provision can operate to compel the architect to cover fees when client successfully sues it for negligence.

BUT as K only indemnified against derivative acts of the negligence, the broad-based nature of suit means no recovery.
