​

I further agree that if, despite this release, waiver of liability, and assumption of risk, I or anyone on my behalf makes a claim against any of the releasees, I will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of the releasees from any loss, liability, damage, or cost, including attorneys' fees, which any of the aforementioned may incur as a result of such a claim.
