Notwithstanding the terms of any franchise agreement, each manufacturer or converter shall indemnify and hold harmless its franchised motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle dealers against any judgment for damages, including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorney fees of the motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle dealer, arising out of complaints, claims, or lawsuits including but not limited to strict liability, negligence, misrepresentation, express or implied warranty, or rescission of sale to the extent that the judgment arises out of alleged defective or negligent manufacture, assembly, or design of motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles, parts, or accessories, or other functions by the manufacturer or converter, which are beyond the control of the motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle dealer.
