The Court commends the parties for devoting substantial time and resources to reach this Settlement that meets all the criteria established by Proposition 65 and well serves the public interest.

1. The injunctive relief required by the Settlement complies with Proposition 65;
2. The Civil Penalty that the parties agree to in the Settlement is reasonable based on the specific facts and circumstances of this case with reference to each factor enumerated by Health & Safety Code § 25249.7(b)(2);
