解析

The indemnitor is the promisor: it agrees to assume, defend, or reimburse the indemnitee's specified losses. (c) is the indemnitee, and reversing the pair is the whole substance of this item. (a) is the insurer, which performs a comparable economic function under a policy rather than under the construction contract, and which is often what stands behind the indemnitor's promise. (b) belongs to the lien law. How far the promise can go is limited by Civil Code §2782, which makes indemnity for the promisee's sole negligence or willful misconduct void and unenforceable in a construction contract.
