In entering this Judgment the Court specifically refers to and invokes the Full Faith
and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution and the doctrine of comity, and requests
that any court in any other jurisdiction reviewing, construing, or applying the Court’s Order
and Judgment implement and enforce its terms in their entirety.
Without affecting the finality of the Order and this Judgment in any way, the Court
hereby reserves jurisdiction over: (1) implementation of the Settlement Agreement; (2) all
matters related to the administration and consummation of the Settlement Agreement; and
(3) all Parties to the Consolidated MDL Lawsuit, including any and all Parties to the
consolidated Lawsuits, for the purpose of implementing, enforcing, monitoring compliance
with, effectuating, administering, and interpreting the provisions of the Settlement
Agreement and the related Order and Judgment.
In its Order, the Court noted instances in which Defendants made certain
concessions having to do with the administration and logistical details of providing the
relief set forth in the Settlement Agreement. These matters are included within the Court’s
express retention of jurisdiction to ensure performance under the Settlement Agreement.
