Common use of Federal Parties’ Remaining-Claim Releases Clause in Contracts

Federal Parties’ Remaining-Claim Releases. Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Class Representatives, the Class, and its Members and their heirs, administrators, successors, and assigns hereby RELEASE, WAIVE, ACQUIT, and FOREVER DISCHARGE the United States and each of the Federal Parties from, and are hereby FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from prosecuting, any and all claims, causes of action, motions, and requests for any injunctive and/or monetary relief, including, but not limited to, damages, tax payments, debt relief, costs, attorney’s fees, expenses, and/or interest, whether presently known or unknown, contingent or liquidated, that relate to or arise out of any matters or issues alleged in this Action against the Federal Parties, or that have been or could have been asserted in this Action against the Federal Parties, prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, and including but not limited to the right to appeal any and all claims Plaintiffs asserted in this Action. This release does not release any claims that the Class and its Members did not assert in this Action, to the extent that such claims are unrelated to allegations of racial discrimination, alleged racial segregation or alleged failures to desegregate, alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act related to race or ethnicity, and/or alleged failures to affirmatively further fair housing on the basis of race or ethnicity, including on a regional basis.
