FINAL JUDGMENT

BEVERLY R. O'CONNELL, District Judge.

JUDGMENT

The Court having held a Final Approval Hearing on March 21, 2017, notice of the Final Approval Hearing having been duly given in accordance with this Court's Order (1) Conditionally Certifying a Settlement Class, (2) Preliminarily Approving Class Action Settlement, (3) Approving Notice Plan, and (4) Setting Final Approval Hearing ("Preliminary Approval Order"), and having issued an Order Re Motion for Final Approval of Class Action Settlement and Motion for Attorneys' Fees, Costs, and Class Representative Service Award ("Final Approval Order") that considered all matters submitted to it at the Final Approval Hearing and otherwise, and finding no just reason for delay in entry of this Final Judgment and good cause appearing therefore,

It is hereby ADJUDGED AND DECREED as follows:

1. The Settlement Agreement dated September 8, 2016, including its exhibits (the "Settlement Agreement"), and the definition of words and terms contained therein are incorporated by reference in this Judgment. The terms of this Court's Preliminary Approval Order and Final Approval Order are also incorporated by reference in this Judgment.

2. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Action and over the Parties, including all members of the Settlement Class certified for settlement purposes in this Court's Preliminary Approval Order and Final Approval Order.

3. This Court hereby dismisses, with prejudice, without costs to any party, except as expressly provided for in the Final Approval Order, the Action.

4. Upon Final Approval (including, without limitation, the exhaustion of any judicial review, or requests for judicial review, from the Final Approval Order), the Plaintiff and each and every one of the Settlement Class Members unconditionally, fully, and finally releases and forever discharges the Released Parties from the Released Claims. In addition, any rights of the Settlement Class representative and each and every one of the Settlement Class Members to the protections afforded under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and/or any other similar, comparable, or equivalent laws, are terminated.

5. Each and every Settlement Class Member, and any person actually or purportedly acting on behalf of any Settlement Class Member(s), is hereby permanently barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting, continuing, pursuing, maintaining, prosecuting, or enforcing any Released Claims (including, without limitation, in any individual, class or putative class, representative or other action or proceeding), directly or indirectly, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum, against the Released Parties. This permanent bar and injunction is necessary to protect and effectuate the Settlement Agreement, this Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal, and this Court's authority to effectuate the Settlement Agreement, and is ordered in aid of this Court's jurisdiction and to protect its judgments.

6. A total of 81 Settlement Class Members submitted timely and proper Requests for Exclusion. The Court hereby orders that each of those individuals is excluded from the Settlement Class. Those individuals will not be bound by the Settlement Agreement, and neither will they be entitled to any of its benefits.

7. The Settlement Agreement (including, without limitation, its exhibits), and any and all negotiations, documents, and discussions associated with it, shall not be deemed or construed to be an admission or evidence of any violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation or principle of common law or equity, of any liability or wrongdoing, by the Released Parties, or of the truth of any of the claims asserted by Plaintiff in the Action, and evidence relating to the Settlement Agreement shall not be discoverable or used, directly or indirectly, in any way, whether in the Action or in any other action or proceeding, except for purposes of enforcing the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement, the Preliminary Approval Order, the Final Approval Order, and/or this Judgment.

8. If for any reason the Settlement terminates or Final Approval does not occur, then certification of the Settlement Class shall be deemed vacated. In such an event, the certification of the Settlement Class for settlement purposes shall not be considered as a factor in connection with any subsequent class certification issues, and the Parties shall return to the status quo ante in the Action, without prejudice to the right of any of the Parties to assert any right or position that could have been asserted if the Settlement had never been reached or proposed to the Court.

9. In the event that any provision of the Settlement or this Final Judgment is asserted by Defendant as a defense in whole or in part to any Claim, or otherwise asserted (including, without limitation, as a basis for a stay) in any other suit, action, or proceeding brought by a Settlement Class Member or any person actually or purportedly acting on behalf of any Settlement Class Member(s), that suit, action or other proceeding shall be immediately stayed and enjoined until this Court or the court or tribunal in which the claim is pending has determined any issues related to such defense or assertion. Solely for purposes of such suit, action, or other proceeding, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, the Parties irrevocably waive and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim or objection that they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court, or that the Court is, in any way, an improper venue or an inconvenient forum. These provisions are necessary to protect the Settlement Agreement, this Order and this Court's authority to effectuate the Settlement, and are ordered in aid of this Court's jurisdiction and to protect its judgment.

10. By incorporating the Settlement Agreement's terms herein, the Court determines that this Final Judgment complies in all respects with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d)(1).

11. Finding that there is no just reason for delay, the Court orders that this Final Judgment shall constitute a final judgment pursuant to Rule 54 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter this Judgment on the docket forthwith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
