<br />The Governmental Entity submits to the jurisdiction of the court in the Governmental Entity's
<br />state where the Consent Judgment is filed for purposes limited to that court's role as provided in,
<br />and for resolving disputes to the extent provided in, the Walgreens Settlement. The
<br />Governmental Entity likewise agrees to arbitrate before the National Arbitration Panel as
<br />provided in, and for resolving disputes to the extent otherwise provided in, the Walgreens
<br />Settlement.
<br />7. The Governmental Entity has the right to enforce the Walgreens Settlement as provided therein.
<br />The Governmental Entity, as a Participating Subdivision, hereby becomes a Releaser for all
<br />purposes in the Walgreens Settlement, including without limitation all provisions of Section XI
<br />(Release), and along with all departments, agencies, divisions, boards, commissions, districts,
<br />instrumentalities of any kind and attorneys, and any person in their official capacity elected or
<br />appointed to serve any of the foregoing and any agency, person, or other entity claiming by or
<br />through any of the foregoing, and any other entity identified in the definition of Releasor,
<br />provides for a release to the fullest extent of its authority. As a Releasor, the Governmental
<br />Entity hereby absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably covenants not to bring, file, or
<br />claim, or to cause, assist or permit to be brought, filed, or claimed, or to otherwise seek to
<br />establish liability for any Released Claims against any Released Entity in any forum
<br />whatsoever. The releases provided for in the Walgreens Settlement are intended by the Parties
<br />to be broad and shall be interpreted so as to give the Released Entities the broadest possible bar
<br />against any liability relating in any way to Released Claims and extend to the full extent of the
<br />power of the Governmental Entity to release claims. The Walgreens Settlement shall be a
<br />complete bar to any Released Claim.
<br />9. The Governmental Entity hereby takes on all rights and obligations of a Participating
<br />Subdivision as set forth in the Walgreens Settlement.
<br />10. In connection with the releases provided for in the Walgreens Settlement, each Governmental
<br />Entity expressly waives, releases, and forever discharges any and all provisions, rights, and
<br />benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States or other jurisdiction,
<br />or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to § 1542 of the
<br />California Civil Code, which reads:
<br />General Release; extent. A general release does not extend to claims that the
<br />creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor
<br />at the time of executing the release that, if known by him or her would have
<br />materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
<br />A Releaser may hereafter discover facts other than or different from those which it knows,
<br />believes, or assumes to be true with respect to the Released Claims, but each Governmental
<br />Entity hereby expressly waives and fully, finally, and forever settles, releases and discharges,
<br />upon the Effective Date, any and all Released Claims that may exist as of such date but which
<br />Releasors do not know or suspect to exist, whether through ignorance, oversight, error,
<br />negligence or through no fault whatsoever, and which, if known, would materially affect the
<br />Governmental Entities' decision to participate in the Walgreens Settlement.
