7. The Governmental Entity has the right to enforce those rights given to them in the CVS
<br />Settlement.
<br />The Governmental Entity, as a Participating Subdivision, hereby becomes a Releasor for
<br />all purposes in the CVS Settlement, including, but not limited to, all provisions of
<br />Section D and E, and along with all departments, agencies, divisions, boards,
<br />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,
<br />and irrevocably covenants not to bring, file, or claim, or to cause, assist or permit to be
<br />brought, filed, or claimed, or to otherwise seek to establish liability for any Released
<br />Claims against any Releasee in any forum whatsoever. The releases provided for in the
<br />CVS Settlement are intended by the Parties to be broad and shall be interpreted so as to
<br />give the Releasees the broadest possible bar against any liability relating in any. way to
<br />Released Claims and extend to the full extent of the power of the Governmental Entity to
<br />release Claims. The CVS Settlement shall be a complete bar to any Released Claim.
<br />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
<br />Entity expressly waives, releases, and forever discharges any and all provisions, rights,
<br />and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States or other
<br />jurisdiction, or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to
<br />§ 1542 of the 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
<br />her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or
<br />her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or
<br />released party.
<br />A Releasor may hereafter discover facts other than or different from those which it
<br />knows, believes, or assumes to be true with respect to the Released Claims, but each
<br />Governmental Entity hereby expressly waives and fully, finally, and forever settles,
<br />releases and discharges, upon the Effective Date of the Release, any and all Released
<br />Claims that may exist as of such date but which Releasors do not know or suspect to
<br />exist, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence or through no fault
<br />whatsoever, and which, if known, would materially affect the Governmental Entities'
<br />decision to participate in the CVS Settlement.
<br />11. Nothing herein is intended to modify in any way the terms of the CVS Settlement, to
<br />which the Governmental Entity hereby agrees. To the extent this Subdivision Settlement
