parties that CSPA’s claims, as set forth in the Notice and Complaint, be dismissed. The parties 

respectfully request an order from this Court dismissing such claims. In accordance with the 

Settlement Agreement, the parties also request that this Court maintain jurisdiction over the 

parties through the Termination Date of the Agreement (Paragraph 13 of the Settlement 

Agreement) for the sole purpose of resolving any disputes between the parties with respect to 

enforcement of any provision of the Settlement Agreement.
