EXHIBIT C

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is reported to be extremely contagious. The state of medical knowledge is evolving, but the virus is believed to spread from person-to- person contact and/or by contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, and even possibly in the air. People reportedly can be infected and show no symptoms and therefore spread the disease. The exact methods of spread and contraction are unknown, and there is no known treatment, cure, or vaccine for COVID-19. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life- threatening illness and even death.

Moody Ranch Outfitters, Inc. is following COVID-19 protocols, as well as, cleaning and sanitizing recommendations.

However, MRO cannot prevent you from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while utilizing and performing services or premises. It is not possible to prevent against the presence of the disease. Therefore, if you choose to enter into this Agreement and enter onto MRO premises you may be exposing yourself to and/or increasing your risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK: You have read and understand the above warning concerning COVID-19. And hereby choose to accept the risk of contracting COVID-19 for myself in order to enter into this Agreement to perform services and enter MRO premises. This Agreement and services are of such value to me that I accept the risk of being exposed to, contracting, and/or spreading COVID-19 in order to perform services under this Agreement and enter MRO premises.

WAIVER OF LAWSUIT/LIABILITY: I hereby forever RELEASE AND WAIVE MY RIGHT TO BRING SUIT AGAINST MRO AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, OFFICIALS, TRUSTEES, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES IN CONNECTION WITH EXPOSURE, INFECTION, AND/OR SPREAD OF COVID- 19 related to this Agreement to perform services and enter MRO premises. I understand that this waiver means I give up my right to bring any claims including for personal injuries, death, disease or property losses, or any other loss, including but not limited to claims of negligence and give up any claim I may have to seek damages, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen.
