GRANTEE shall defend, indemnify, save, protect and hold harmless COUNTY, its agents, officers and employees, from any claim, action or proceeding to attack, set aside, void or annul this easement. 13. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to construe that access or other secondary rights are conveyed by this document over any of COUNTY's adjacent lands lying outside of the aforesaid strip of land above described. 14.
