CONSENT DECREE

The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("the Commission")

commenced this action against PJ.R. Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a! JiffY Lube ("PJR") pursuant to Title

VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 ("Title VII") to

address allegations that PJR subjected Virginia C. Petrov ("Petrov'") and a class of similarly

situated female employees to sexual harassment.

The Commission and PJR stipulate to the Court's jurisdiction over the parties. Further,

the Commission and PJR desire to resolve Civil Action No.1 :04-CV-07736 without the burden

and expense of further litigation, and without any admission of guilt, fault or liability by PJR. As

a result, and based on the pleadings and the record as a whole, the Court finds that: (i) the Court

has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of this action; (ii) the purpose and

provisions of Title VII will be promoted and effectuated by the entry of this Decree; and (iii) this

Decree resolves all the matters in controversy between the parties as provided in paragraphs 1

through 13 below.

IT IS THEREFORE ADJUDGED, ORDERED AND DECREED as follows: I. In all matters arising from or relating to employment at its facilities, PIR and its officers, agents, employees, successors, and assigns, and all of those in active concert or participation with them, or any of them, shall not engage in any employment practice which unlawfully discriminates on the basis of sex against an employee or applicant under Title VII. Prohibited discrimination includes, but is not limited to, subjecting an employee to sexual harassment. 2. ANTI-RETALIATION: PJR and its officers, agents, employees, successors, assigns, and all those in active concert or participation with them, or any of them, shall not engage in reprisal or retaliation of any kind against any person because such person: [i) opposed any practice made unlawful under Title VII; [ii) filed a charge of discrimination with the Commission or a state agency or testified or participated in any manner in any investigation, proceeding, or hearing under Title VII; [iii) requested or received relief in accordance with this Decree; [iii) participated in any manner in this action or in the investigation giving rise to this action; or [iv) asserted any rights under this Decree. 3. NOTICE POSTING: PJR agrees to post the Employee Notice (attached to this Decree as Appendix A) in conspicuous locations visible to applicants and employees at its facilities. Said Notice shall remain posted throughout the term of this Decree. During the term of this Decree, PIR shall monitor all posted Notices for wear and damage. PIR shall replace any damaged or worn Notice with one that is identical to that found in Appendix A. 4. MONETARY SETTLEMENT: In settlement of the Commission's lawsuit, PIR

PJR shall mail a copy of any settlement check and proof of its delivery (a signed certified mail receipt) to the Commission within thirty (30) days of mailing.
