<br />6. 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 CVS Settlement. The Governmental
<br />Entity likewise agrees to arbitrate before the National Arbitration Panel as provided in, and for
<br />resolving disputes to the extent otherwise provided in, the CVS Settlement.
<br />7. The Governmental Entity has the right to enforce the CVS Settlement as provided therein.
<br />8. The Governmental Entity, as a Participating Subdivision, hereby becomes a Releasor for all
<br />purposes in the CVS 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 CVS Settlement are intended by the Parties to be
<br />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 CVS Settlement shall be a complete
<br />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 CVS Settlement.
<br />10. In connection with the releases provided for in the CVS Settlement, each Governmental Entity
<br />expressly waives, releases, and forever discharges any and all provisions, rights, and benefits
<br />conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States or other jurisdiction, or
<br />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
<br />the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her
<br />favor at the time of executing the release that, if known by him or her would
<br />have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released
<br />ply.
<br />A Releasor 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 Entity
<br />hereby expressly waives and fully, finally, and forever settles, releases and discharges, upon the
<br />Effective Date, any and all Released Claims that may exist as of such date but which Releasors do
<br />not know or suspect to exist, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence or through no
<br />fault whatsoever, and which, if known, would materially affect the Governmental Entities'
<br />decision to participate in the CVS Settlement.
