Agreement The Parties agree as follows: 1.0 Release and Discharge 1.1 In consideration of the payments set forth in Section 2 below, Plaintiff hereby completely releases and forever discharges Defendant, COUNTY, from any and all past, present or future claims, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, wrongful death claims, rights, damages, costs, losses or services, expenses and compensation of any nature, whatsoever, whether based on tort, contract or other theory of recovery, which Plaintiff now has, or which may hereafter accrue, or otherwise be acquired on account of, or may in any way grow out of, the

incident and Complaint described in Recital A above, including, without limitation, any and all claims, demands, damages, actions, and causes of action, known or unknown, including bodily and personal injuries, and emotional distress, to Plaintiff, or any future wrongful death claims made by Plaintiffs representatives or heirs, which have resulted, or may result, from the alleged acts or omissions of the Defendants. 1.2 This release and discharge shall also apply to Defendant s and Releasees present and future directors, officers, stockholders, attorneys, agents, servants, representatives, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, predecessors and successors in interest, and assigns, and all other persons, firms, or corporations, with whom any of the former have been, are now, or may hereafter be, affiliated. 1.3 This release, on the part of the Plaintiff, shall be a fully binding and complete settlement among the Plaintiff, the Defendant and Releasees, and their agents, representatives, heirs, assigns and successors. 1.4 The Plaintiff acknowledges and agrees that the release and discharge set forth in this Settlement Agreement is a General Release, as set forth in California Civil Code 1542. Section 1542 provides as follows: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor." Plaintiff expressly waives and assumes the risk of any and all claims for damages which exist as of this date, including those which the Plaintiff does not know or suspect to exist, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or otherwise, and which, if known, would materially affect Plaintiffs decision to enter into this Settlement Agreement. Plaintiff further agrees that Plaintiff has accepted payment of the sums specified herein as a complete compromise of matters involving disputed issues of law and fact. Plaintiff assumes the risk that the facts or law may be other than Plaintiff believes. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that this settlement is a compromise of a doubtful and disputed claim, and the payments are not to be construed as. an admission of liability on the part of the Defendant or Releasees, by whom liability is expressly denied. 1.5 Plaintiff and/or his attorneys of record have represented there are no liens related to the Complaint. Plaintiff further agrees to assume responsibility for any and all outstanding liens, known or unknown, including worker s compensation liens and medical liens (i.e., Medicare, Medicaid, Medi-Cal, Kaiser, etc.) upon the proceeds of this settlement, and to notify any and all such agencies/entities of the settlement in this matter. In the event that any liens are in force, Plaintiff agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Defendant and Releasees, and their heirs, executors, administrators, employees, officers, agents, representatives, insurers and assigns for all said liens, including costs and expenses, and attorney s fees, due to said liens.

2.0 Payments In consideration of the release set forth above, the Defendant and Releasees agree to pay to the individual named below ("Payee") the sums outlined in this Section 2 below. 2.1 Payments due at the time of settlement as follows: The sum of SIX MILLION, ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO CENTS ($6,150,000.00) to be paid at the time of settlement.

The Parties have considered and protected Medicare s interests in the settlement of this case.

No money is being set aside to cover future medical expenses which Medicare would otherwise cover in this case because no future medical costs directly associated with the injury are anticipated or alleged by the Plaintiff.

Further, the Plaintiff agrees to be responsible for and pay any and all conditional payment claims/past liens which may be asserted by Medicare for any expenses paid by Medicare for the Plaintiffs medical treatment. The Plaintiff agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Defendant/Releasees harmless from any potential request or cause of action by Medicare seeking payment of past, current or future medical expenses for the Plaintiff.

The Plaintiff hereby agrees to fully cooperate with defendant and/or its insurer regarding any and all requests for information or documentation needed to comply with the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, including but not limited to the Plaintiffs Social Security number and/or Medicare number.
