This Indemnification, Assumption of Risk, and Release Agreement (this “Release”) is made and entered into by and among the undersigned Participant (herein so called) and TGR Ventures, LP (“TGRV”), a Texas limited partnership. Participant understands and acknowledges that certain subsidiaries of TGRV do business as “Mission Ridge Range & Academy.” For purposes of this Release, TGRV, and all subsidiaries and affiliates of TGRV, including but not limited to its General Partner, and its subsidiaries doing business as “Mission Ridge Range & Academy,” are individually and collectively referred to herein as “MRRA.” Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant would not be allowed to use the MRRA gun range, the MRRA archery range, and certain other MRRA facilities, unless Participant also executed this Release. The real estate and improvements owned and/or operated by MRRA, wherever located, are sometimes referred to herein as the “MRRA Facilities” or the “MRRA Premises”. This Release shall be effective as of the date and time that it is signed (electronically or otherwise) by the Participant (the “Effective Date”), and shall remain effective for Participant’s (and, if applicable, Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests’) present and future visits to any MRRA Facilities. Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant has read this Release in its entirety, understood, and will abide by all of the MRRA Rules and Regulations set out on MRRA’s Website. Participant also acknowledges and agrees that Participant will watch, in its entirety, MRRA’s range safety video prior to using any gun range and/or any archery range. Participant also understands and agrees that MRRA reserves the right to remove from the MRRA Facilities, for any reason or no reason, any and all persons present on the MRRA Facilities (including Participant and/or Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests), in the sole discretion of MRRA personnel. In addition, MRRA will have no obligation to inspect firearms or bows and arrows brought onto the MRRA Facilities by Participant or Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests, but reserves the right to do so. Participant understands and agrees that MRRA may take photos and videos, including security videos, of Participant and Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests while on the MRRA Premises. Unless Participant objects prior to leaving the MRRA Premises, Participant agrees that MRRA may use such photos and videos for any lawful purpose, including for publicity, advertisement, and on social media. In any event, MRRA shall be entitled to use all such photos and videos for security and law enforcement purposes, and in connection with any legal proceedings. Participant agrees that Participant shall be responsible, and shall compensate MRRA, for any and all property damage, bodily injury, and/or death on the MRRA Premises caused by Participant and/or Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests. Accordingly, Participant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless MRRA, and any successor or assignee of MRRA (by way of asset purchase, merger, or otherwise), and their respective managers, directors, officers, members, owners, partners, contractors, and employees (collectively, the “MRRA Parties”) of and from all claims, causes of action, loss, damages, injuries, liability, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and all other litigation expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) if the same (i) are related to property damage, bodily injury, and/or death on the MRRA Premises, and (ii) are caused in whole or in part by Participant and/or Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests, even if caused in part by the fault, negligence, gross negligence, reckless disregard, or intentional misconduct of one or more of the MRRA Parties; provided, however, this indemnification obligation of Participant shall not apply to the extent that the Losses shall have been caused solely by the gross negligence, reckless disregard, or intentional misconduct of any of the MRRA Parties. Participant understands, acknowledges, and agrees that the use of rifles, pistols, bows and arrows, and other firearms and weapons are inherently dangerous activities, involving high levels of noise, the discharge of ammunition from firearms, flying bullet casings and other debris, burning hot firearms and casings, and many other potential sources of bodily injury (including loss of eyesight, loss of hearing, lead poisoning, burns and scarring), death, and property damage. Participant also understands, acknowledges, and agrees that SHOOTING AT STEEL TARGETS presents additional dangers and, therefore, agrees that, if and when shooting at steel targets, Participant and Participant’s spouse, dependents, and guests: (i) will wear approved safety eyewear at all times, namely, ANSI Z87.1 certified eye protection, with side shields and ear protection; (ii) will not fire rifle caliber or self-defense ammunition at steel targets; (iii) will not fire armor-piercing, steel core, steel jacket, solid copper, or other hardened bullets at steel targets; (iv) will shoot steel targets straight on, and not at any angles; (v) will use special caution as bullets deflecting off of steel targets can go in unknown and unpredictable directions; and (vi) as with all other activities on the MRRA Premises, Participant and Participant ’s spouse, dependents, and guests will shoot steel targets at his/her/their own risk. Participant also understands and acknowledges that MRRA does not screen any person seeking admission onto the MRRA Premises for sobriety or criminal record or mental stability, and Participant agrees and stipulates that not screening for sobriety, criminal record, or mental stability does not constitute gross negligence, reckless disregard, or intentional misconduct, by any of the MRRA Parties. By entering the MRRA Premises, and by allowing Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests to enter the MRRA Premises, Participant knowingly and voluntarily agrees to assume the risk that (i) Participant or Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests may be injured (including emotional distress) or killed while on the MRRA Premises, whether due to the condition of the MRRA Premises; the condition of any MRRA supplied eye protection, hearing protection, firearms, ammunition, bows and arrows, or other items; the conduct of any other person on the MRRA Premises, including but not limited to a person with a felony record or other criminal conviction, or who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs; or any other cause that could be known or anticipated, as well as from any cause that is unknown or could not be anticipated; and (ii) Participant’s property, or the property of Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests, may be damaged while on the MRRA Premises. Participant acknowledges and agrees that MRRA makes no warranty, and hereby expressly disclaims all warranties, of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of the MRRA Premises and of the goods and services provided by MRRA on the MRRA Premises – including but not limited to the design and manufacture of the MRRA Premises (including but not limited to each individual gun range bay and shooting lane), and any of the following supplied or provided or sold by MRRA: firearms, ammunition, bows and arrows, eye/hearing protection, first aid supplies, and any other goods and/or services. Therefore, Participant agrees to RELEASE, and does hereby RELEASE, the MRRA Parties for all property damage, bodily injury, and death which may be sustained by Participant and/or Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests while on the MRRA Premises. Accordingly, Participant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the MRRA Parties of and from all Losses to the extent the same are related to property damage, bodily injury, or death sustained by Participant and/or Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests while on the MRRA Premises, whether or not caused in whole or in part by the fault or negligence of one or more of the MRRA Parties, and whether or not produced by a cause that was unknown or unanticipated; but not if caused solely by the gross negligence, reckless disregard, or intentional misconduct of any of the MRRA Parties. In this regard, Participant understands and agrees that MRRA has no duty to render first aid in the event Participant or Participant’s spouse, dependents, and/or guests sustain an injury while on MRRA Premises; provided, however, in the event that any of the MRRA Parties should undertake to render first aid, Participant agrees that the indemnification provisions set out above shall apply to the actions and omissions of the MRRA Parties while attempting to render first aid. Participant further agrees that the indemnification obligation of Participant set out in this paragraph shall extend to claims for bodily injury sustained on the MRRA Premises by a dependent or guest of Participant while under the age of eighteen but asserted against one or more of the MRRA Parties by such dependent or guest after reaching the age of eighteen. This Release shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. This Release may be assigned by MRRA to any successor by merger or to any person or entity that purchases all, or substantially all, of the assets of MRRA. This Release shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, and venue of all dispute resolution proceedings involving this Release shall be in the city and county where the MRRA headquarters are located, namely, San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas.
