EXHIBIT #A
TEMPORARY COMMERCIAL FILMING INDEMNIFICATION &
HOLD HARMLESS FORM & INSURANCE EXHIBIT
INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
FOR USE OF CITY GROUNDS AND FACILITIES
In consideration for the use of City grounds and facilities and to the furthest extent allowed by law,
Applicant does hereby agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City of Murrieta (“City”) and
each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines,
penalties, forfeitures, costs and damages (whether in contract, tort or strict liability, including but not
limited to personal injury, death at any time and property damage) incurred by City, Applicant or any
other person, and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including attorney's
fees and litigation expenses), arising or alleged to have arisen directly or indirectly out of the use of
City ground and facilities. Applicant’s obligations under the preceding sentence shall apply
regardless of whether City or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers are
negligent, but shall not apply to any loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs or
damages caused solely by the gross negligence, or caused by the willful misconduct, of
City or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers.
Throughout the life of this Agreement, Applicant shall pay for and maintain in full force and effect all
insurance as required in Exhibit #B, which is incorporated into and part of this Agreement, or as may
be authorized or required in writing by City Manager or his/her designee at any time and in his/her
sole discretion.
Applicant shall conduct all defense at his/her/its sole cost. The fact that insurance is obtained by
Applicant shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Applicant, including, without
limitation, liability assumed under this Agreement. The duty to indemnify shall apply to all claims
regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The duty to defend hereunder is wholly
independent of and separate from the duty to indemnify and such duty to defend exists regardless of
any ultimate liability of Applicant. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of
defense and/or indemnification to be provided by Applicant. Approval or purchase of any insurance
contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Applicant, its officials,
officers, employees, agents, volunteers or invitees.
City shall be reimbursed for all costs and attorney’s fees incurred by City in enforcing this
Agreement. This Indemnification and Hold Harmless Agreement shall survive the use of City
grounds and facilities.
The undersigned acknowledges that he/she (i) has read and fully understands the content of
this Indemnification and Hold Harmless Agreement; (ii) is aware that this is a contract
between the City and Applicant; (iii) has had the opportunity to consult with his/her attorney,
in his/her discretion; (iv) is fully aware of the legal consequences of signing this document;
and (v) is the Applicant or his/her/its authorized signatory.
Signed, sealed and delivered this day of 2019.
