I voluntarily and knowingly assume the risk of all such injury, disability, death, damage or loss.

2. I hereby agree to indemnify and save and hold harmless and defend the Released Parties (with counsel reasonably selected by the Released Parties), from any and all claims, demands, obligations, losses, liability, damages, costs or expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, which the Released Parties may incur related to any Released Matters.
