3. The Debtors do not, by this Order or the Claims Resolution Procedure, acknowledge the validity of any Litigation Claim or the existence of coverage under any Insurance Policy with respect to of any Litigation Claim, or make any admission of liability. The Claimant, not the Debtors, will be solely responsible for payment of all medical costs or reimbursement liabilities, if any, relating to each settled claim.
