Consent Agreement, the Commission thereafter may withdraw its acceptance of

Commission does not subsequently withdraw such acceptance pursuant to the 

provisions of Commission Rule 2.34, 16 C.F.R. § 2.34, the Commission may,

contradict the terms of the Decision and Order.

warrants that:

Decision and Order; and 

b. all parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and successors necessary to effectuate the

Order are parties to this Consent Agreement and are bound as if they had 

signed this Consent Agreement and were made parties to this proceeding, or 

are within the control of parties to this Consent Agreement and the Decision 

and Order.

12. Proposed Respondent has read the Draft Complaint and the proposed Decision 

and Order. Proposed Respondent agrees to comply with the terms of the proposed 

Decision and Order from the date it signs this Consent Agreement. Proposed 

Respondent understands that once the Commission has issued the Decision and 

Order, it will be required to file one or more compliance reports setting forth in 

detail the manner in which it has complied, has prepared to comply, is complying, 

and will comply with the Decision and Order. When final, the Decision and 

Order shall have the same force and effect and may be altered, modified, or set 

aside in the same manner and within the same time as provided by statute for 

other orders. Proposed Respondent further understands that it may be liable for 

civil penalties in the amount provided by law for each violation of the Decision
