The parent or legal guardian of any minor named above hereby expressly agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any claims, losses, costs or expenses of any kind, including attorneys’ fees, which Releasees may incur as a result of any lawsuit, claim or demand made by said minor against Releasees for any of the activities contemplated herein, to include but not limited to any such lawsuit, claim or demand asserted against Releasees after said minor reaches the age of majority.
