My Acknowledgement of the Consideration and Purpose of the Release I acknowledge that I would not be eligible for the payments and benefits under the Incentive Plan unless I sign (and then do not rescind) this Participation Agreement and Release. I received the Incentive Plan materials authorized by the City Council Resolution and reviewed them. These materials include descriptions of who is eligible for the Incentive Plan and the time limitations under the Incentive Plan. The city encouraged me to seek counsel from a financial advisor and lawyer before signing this agreement. I have at least 45 calendar days to consider whether to sign the Participation Agreement and Release. I understand that I may knowingly and voluntarily agree to waive the 45 calendar day consideration period by electing to sign the Release before the 45 calendar days have passed. The city encouraged me to take my time and carefully evaluate my circumstances before deciding if signing this agreement is the right thing for me to do. A. What I Am Releasing In consideration for the payments and benefits under the Incentive Plan, I fully release and discharge the City of Lino Lakes from any and all claims, complaints, liabilities of any kind, known or unknown (each a "claim"). I understand that by releasing the City of Uno Lakes from each and every claim, I am releasing all of my rights to bring any claim against the City of Uno Lakes based on any action, decision or event occurring prior to my signing this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of my employment with the City of Lino Lakes and the ending of my employment. Except as permitted by law, I will not commence any proceeding relating to any claim, and if the law permits me to commence such a proceeding, I agree that I may not seek or recover any monetary damages or other relief as a result of any such proceeding. My release includes any claim based upon THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT, 29 U.S.C. § §621, et seq.; federal, state or local employment discrimination laws, regulations or requirements, including, but not limited to Title VII of Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § §2000e, et seq.; the Americans with Disabilities Act 42 U.S.C. § §12101, et seq.; and the Minnesota Human Rights Act, Minn. Stat. Ch. 363; Minnesota Statute Chapter 13 and any other statute, ordinance, or regulation; any contract, quasi-contract or promissory estoppel; any tort, including wrongful discharge, misrepresentation, fraud, infliction of emotional distress, or defamation; or any other legal or equitable theory. I also release and waive any rights and claims I may have under the Veterans Preference Act, Minn. Stat. 197.46. •
