Comments: 
Per the OAG comments, the cessation of sales shall commence within 30 days of the Effective Date (rather than 12 months after the Effective Date). The below language has also been removed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Plaintiff, the Attorney General, or any public enforcer represented by Erickson Kramer Osborne LLP, The Golan Law Firm PLLC, or Migliaccio & Rathod LLP agree to terms in a settlement or judicially entered consent judgment with any manufacturer of Covered Products which permits a higher level of TiO2 in Covered Products without requiring an exposure warning, the Parties agree that Defendants shall be deemed in compliance with the terms of this Consent Judgment and Proposition 65 if they elect to adhere to such Discontinuation terms as provided in such other TiO2 settlement or judicially entered consent judgment. At a Party’s request, the Parties agree to cooperate to modify this agreement to conform to a subsequently entered settlement.
