considered the Motion and good cause appearing, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

1. The settlement agreement between WSC, on the one hand, and plaintiff Adobe

approved;

3. All claims of WSC against the Settling Plaintiffs are dismissed with prejudice; 

4. All claims against WSC by all other parties to this action are dismissed with 

prejudice; 

5. All claims that were or could have been asserted against WSC for contribution or 

indemnity that relate to or arise from the matters addressed in the action are barred, whether such 

claims are brought pursuant to federal or state law; [and] 

6. The provisions of the Uniform Comparative Fault Act apply with respect to the 

effect of the settlement[.] [; and, (if the Court finds that it applies)]
