Common use of Settlement Class Resolution Opt Outs Clause in Contracts

Settlement Class Resolution Opt Outs. If a Settling State is eligible for Incentive Payment A on the basis of a Settlement Class Resolution, and a Primary Subdivision that opted out of the Settlement Class Resolution maintains a lawsuit asserting a Released Claim against a Released Entity, the following shall apply. The Released Entity shall take ordinary and reasonable measures to defend the action, including filing a Threshold Motion with respect to the Released Claim. The Settling State shall seek to obtain either dismissal of the lawsuit in cooperation with CVS, or a release of the Primary Subdivision’s claims. If the lawsuit asserting a Released Claim either survives a Threshold Motion or has an unresolved Threshold Motion fewer than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the scheduled start of a trial involving a Released Claim, and is resolved with finality on terms requiring payment by the Released Entity, CVS shall receive a dollar-for- dollar offset for the amount paid against its obligation to make remaining Incentive Payment A payments that would be apportioned to that Settling State and to its Subdivisions.
