ARTICLE VII — RELEASES UPON EFFECTIVE DATE

1. Binding and Exclusive Nature of Settlement Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Parties and each and every Settlement Class Member shall be bound by this Settlement Agreement and shall have recourse exclusively to the benefits, rights, and remedies provided hereunder.

STIPULATION AND AGREEMENT OF SETTLEMENT

2. Releases

On the Effective Date, the Class-Related Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have, and by operation of this Settlement Agreement shall have, fully, finally and forever released, relinquished and discharged the CCA-Related Released Parties from any and all of the Class Released Claims.

3. Stay And Dismissal Of The Action

The Parties agree to request that the Court, in connection with Preliminary Approval, issue an immediate stay of the Action.

4. Waiver of Unknown Claims

On the Effective Date, the Class-Related Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have, and by operation of this Settlement Agreement shall have, with respect to the subject matter of the Class Released Claims, expressly waived the benefits of any statutory provisions or common law rule that provides, in sum or substance, that a general release does not extend to claims which the party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by it, would have materially affected its settlement with any other party. In particular, but without limitation, the Class-Related Releasing Parties waive the provisions of California Civil Code § 1542 (or any like or similar statute or common law doctrine), and do so understanding the significance of that waiver. Section 1542 provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Neither this paragraph nor any other provision of this Settlement Agreement shall be construed to effectuate a general release of claims. The releases provided for in this Settlement Agreement are limited to the Class Released Claims as defined in Article II(5) above.

STIPULATION AND AGREEMENT OF SETTLEMENT

5. Assumption of Risk

In entering into this Settlement Agreement, each of the Parties assumes the risk of any mistake of fact or law.

The Parties agree that at the time this Settlement Agreement was executed, there were unsettled issues of law, and the Parties agree to honor this Agreement regardless of developments in the law after execution; specifically, the Class Representatives and Class Counsel recognize and agree that, given these uncertainties in the law, the Class Representatives and Class Counsel are receiving valuable consideration for the settlement of the Action at this time and per the terms of this Agreement. The Parties will advocate for Court approval of this Settlement Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII — LIMITATIONS ON USE OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

1. No Admission

Neither the acceptance by CCA of the terms of this Settlement Agreement nor any of the related negotiations or proceedings constitutes an admission with respect to the merits of the claims alleged in the Complaint, the validity of any claims that could have been asserted by any of the Settlement Class Members in the Complaint, or the liability of CCA in the Action or the New Jersey Dispute. CCA specifically denies any liability or wrongdoing of any kind associated with the claims alleged in the Action and the New Jersey Dispute.

5. Class Member Signatures

It is agreed that, because the Settlement Class Members are so numerous, it is impractical to have each Settlement Class Member execute this Settlement Agreement. The Notice will advise all Settlement Class Members of the binding nature of the Releases and of the remainder of this Settlement Agreement, and in the absence of a valid and timely Request for Exclusion, such Notice shall have the same force and effect as if each Settlement Class Member executed this Settlement Agreement.
