<br />8. The Governmental Entity has the right to enforce the Teva Settlement as provided therein.
<br />9. The Governmental Entity, as a Participating Subdivision or Participating Special District,
<br />hereby becomes a Releasor for all purposes in the Teva Settlement, including but not limited
<br />to all provisions of Section V (Release), and along with all departments, agencies, divisions,
<br />boards, commissions, districts, instrumentalities of any kind and attorneys, and any person in
<br />their official capacity elected or appointed to serve any of the foregoing and any agency,
<br />person, or other entity claiming by or through any of the foregoing, and any other entity
<br />identified in the definition of Releasor, provides for a release to the fullest extent of its
<br />authority. As a Releasor, the Governmental Entity hereby absolutely, unconditionally, and
<br />irrevocably covenants not to bring, file, or claim, or to cause, assist or permit to be brought,
<br />filed, or claimed, or to otherwise seek to establish liability for any Released Claims against
<br />any Released Entity in any forum whatsoever. The releases provided for in the Teva
<br />Settlement are intended by Released Entitles and the Governmental Entity to be broad and
<br />shall be interpreted so as to give the Released Entities the broadest possible bar against any
<br />liability relating in any way to Released Claims and extend to the full extent of the power of
<br />the Governmental Entity to release claims. The Teva Settlement shall be a complete bar to
<br />any Released Claim.
<br />10. The Governmental Entity hereby takes on all rights and obligations of a Participating
<br />Subdivision or Participating Special District as set forth in the Teva Settlement.
<br />11. In connection with the releases provided for in the Teva 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
<br />that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in
<br />his or her favor at the time of executing the release that, if known by
<br />him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with
<br />the debtor or released party.
<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
<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 Teva Settlement.
<br />12. Nothing herein is intended to modify in any way the terms of the Teva Settlement, to which
<br />Governmental Entity hereby agrees. To the extent this Election and Release is interpreted
<br />differently from the Teva Settlement in any respect, the Teva Settlement controls.
