6. The Governmental Entity submits to the jurisdiction of the court in the Governmental
<br /> Entity's state where the Consent Judgment is filed for purposes limited to that court's role
<br /> as provided in,and for resolving disputes to the extent provided in,the Walmart
<br /> Settlement.
<br /> 7. The Governmental Entity has the right to enforce the Walmart Settlement as provided
<br /> therein.
<br /> 8. The Governmental Entity, as a Participating Subdivision,hereby becomes a Releasor for all
<br /> purposes in the Walmart Settlement, including but not limited to all provisions of Section X
<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
<br /> or appointed to serve any of the foregoing and any agency,person, or other entity claiming
<br /> by or through any of the foregoing, and any other entity identified in the definition of
<br /> Releasor,provides for a release to the fullest extent of its authority.As a Releasor,the
<br /> Governmental Entity hereby absolutely, unconditionally,and irrevocably covenants not to
<br /> bring, file,or claim, or to cause, assist or permit to be brought, filed, or claimed,or to
<br /> otherwise seek to establish liability for any Released Claims against any Released Entity in
<br /> any forum whatsoever. The releases provided for in the Walmart Settlement are intended by
<br /> the Parties to be broad and shall be interpreted so as to give the Released Entities the broadest
<br /> possible bar against any liability relating in any way to Released Claims and extend to the
<br /> full extent of the power of the Governmental Entity to release claims. The Walmart
<br /> Settlement shall be a complete bar to any Released Claim.
<br /> 9. In connection with the releases provided for in the Walmart Settlement,each
<br /> Govermnental Entity expressly waives,releases, and forever discharges any and all
<br /> provisions,rights,and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the
<br /> United States or other jurisdiction, or principle of common law,which is similar,
<br /> comparable, or equivalent to § 1542 of the 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 at the
<br /> time of executing the release that, if known by him or her,would have materially
<br /> affected his or her settlement with 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 Walmart Settlement.
<br /> 10.Nothing herein is intended to modify in any way the terms of the Walmart Settlement,to
<br /> which Governmental Entity hereby agrees. To the extent this Election and Release is
<br /> interpreted differently from the Walmart Settlement in any respect,the Walmart Settlement
<br /> controls.
