This Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into between the Town of Los Altos Hills

1. Scope of Agreement. Town shall permit LAHHA and its members to participate in the Town's

i. Up to eight (8) horses shall be allowed to participate in the Town's 2025 Fourth of July

ii. All LAHIdA horses shall remain at the rear of the parade at all times.
iii. LAHHA and its members who are riding horses shall follow directions provided by Town
employees who are managing the Town's 2025 Fourth of July Parade.
2. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, LAHHA shall indemnify, defend (with
counsel acceptable to the Town), and hold harmless Town and its elected and appointed officers, officials,
employees, agents, contractors and consultants (collectively, the "Town Indemnitees") from and against
any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees and costs of litigation) (collectively, "Liability") of every nature arising out of or in connection with
the participation of horses authorized by LAI4BA in the Town's 2023 Fourth of July Parade or LAHHA's
failure to comply with this Agreement, except such Liability caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Town Indemnitees.
3. Insurance. Prior to participation in the Town's 2025 Fourth of July Parade and continuing
throughout the term of this Agreement, LAHIIA shall, at LAHHA's sole cost and expense, furnish the
Town with certificates of insurance evidencing that LAHHA has obtained and maintains general liability
insurance in the following amounts:
LAHHA, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain commercial general liability insurance for
the term of this Agreement in an amount not less than a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence,
$2,000,000 combined single limit coverage for risks associated with the activities contemplated by this
Agreement. If a Commercial General Liability Insurance or other form with a general aggregate limit is
used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the activities authorized under this
Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit. Such
coverage shall include but shall not be limited to, protection against claims arising from bodily and
personal injury, including death resulting therefrom, and damage to property resulting from activities
contemplated under this Agreement, including the use of owned and non -owned automobiles.
All insurance policies shall be written on an occurrence basis and shall name the Town Indemnitees as
additional insureds with any Town insurance shall be secondary and in excess to LAHHA's insurance. If
LAHHA's insurance policy includes a self-insured retention that must be paid by a named insured as a
precondition of the insurer's liability, or which has the effect of providing that payments of the self-insured
retention by others, including additional insureds or insurers do not serve to satisfy the self insured
retention, such provisions must be modified by special endorsement so as to not apply to the additional
insured coverage required by this Agreement so as to not prevent any of the parties to this agreement from
satisfying or paying the self-insured retention required to be paid as a precondition to the insurer's liability.
Additionally, the certificates of insurance must note whether the policy does or does not include any self-
insured retention and also must disclose the deductible.
4. Termination. Town or LAHHA may terminate or suspend this Agreement at any time and without
cause upon written notification to the other Party. The indemnity and insurance provisions set forth
herein shall extend beyond termination of this Agreement.
5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire and integrated agreement between the
Parties. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a subsequent written agreement signed by
both Parties.
6. Notice. All notices and other communications which are required or may be given under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when received if
personally delivered; (ii) when received if transmitted by email, if received during normal business hours
