Indemnity. Except a holder of an active master electrician's license issued by the State of Maryland, the holder of an electrical license shall indemnify and hold Howard County harmless from and against all liability and expenses, including attorney fees, howsoever arising or incurred, for damage to property or injury to or death of any person arising out of or attributable to the performance of the licensee in Howard County.
