Public Benefit It is ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s understanding that the commitments it has agreed to herein, and actions to be taken by Praeger under this Settlement Agreement confer a significant benefit to the general public, as set forth in Code of Civil Procedure § 1021.5 and Cal. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 3201. As such, it is the intent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that to the extent any other private party serves a notice and/or initiates an action alleging a violation of Proposition 65 with respect to Praeger's alleged failure to provide a warning concerning actual or alleged exposure to cadmium prior to use of the Covered Products it has manufactured, distributed, sold, or offered for sale in California, or will manufacture, distribute, sell, or offer for sale in California, such private party action would not confer a significant benefit on the general public as to those Covered Products addressed in this Settlement Agreement, provided that Praeger is in material compliance with this Settlement Agreement.
