Center management against, and hold and save the California State PTA and Sacramento Convention Center management
harmless from, any and all claims, demands, suits, liability, damages, loss, costs, attorney fees and expense of whatever
kind or nature which might result from or arise out of any action or failure to act of the applicant or any of its officers,
agents, employees, or other representatives, including but not limited to claims of damage or loss to property, or from any
damage, loss, harm or injury to the person or any property of the applicant of any of its officers, agents, employees or
