When a party is under no legal duty to indemnify, a contract assuming that obligation must be strictly construed to avoid reading into it a duty which the parties did not intend to be assumed. The intention to indemnify in the context of an intraparty dispute must be unmistakably clear from the language of the promise and exclusively or unequivocally referable to claims between the parties themselves,
