       AMENDED [PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND ENTERING FINAL
                                        JUDGMENT
On    September     14, 2021,     a hearing was    held on the motion       of Plaintiff Consuelo

     Calderon’s Motion for approval of a settlement agreement pursuant to California’s Private

     Attorney General Act (“PAGA”) (the “Settlement”). The Court having considered all papers filed

     and proceedings herein and otherwise being fully informed, and having made this Judgment
     which constitutes a final adjudication of this matter on the merits, and good cause appearing,
            IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED THAT:
            All terms used for purposes of this Order and Judgment, not otherwise defined, shall have

     the same meaning as given in the PAGA Settlement Agreement (“Settlement”) executed between
     the Parties on December 11, 2020.

10          Pursuant to the Labor Code Private Attorneys General                 Act (“PAGA”),       Labor Code

i    sections 2699(1)(2), (1)(4), the Labor Workforce and Development Agency (“LWDA”) has been
12   given notice of the Settlement. Pursuant to PAGA, on the date the Parties filed the motion seeking

13   approval of the Settlement with the Court, Plaintiff submitted to the LWDA a                notice of the

14   Settlement enclosing a copy of the Settlement.         The Court finds and determines that Plaintiff's

1S   notice of the Settlement complied with the statutory requirements of PAGA.

16          The Court confirms approval of the Settlement as to the following group of individuals,
17   collectively referred to as the “PAGA Settlement Group Members”:
18                   means the sixty-six (66) current and former non-exempt employees of H.U.G.

19                   COMPANY dba H.U.G., INC. DBA GOURMET FOODS; GOURMET FOODS,

20                   INC. in California at any time during the period from May 7, 2019 through October

21                   1, 2020.

22           This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this litigation, over all PAGA

23   Settlement   Group   Members,      and    over those     persons   and   entities undertaking    affirmative

24   obligations under the Settlement.

25           The Court finds that the Settlement is, in all respects, fair, reasonable, and adequate.

26   Accordingly, the Court hereby finally and unconditionally approves the Settlement.
