shall be placed into an escrow account until a decision has been

opinion (as applicable) and reasonably could have been expected
to p r e v a i l , in l i g h t of the a p p l i c a b l e s t a n d a r d of judicial
r e v i e w , and that S e t t l i n g Defendants sought dispute resolution
at the earliest practicable time and took all other appropriate
steps to avoid any delay in remedial action work as a result of
the d i s p u t e . If the Court so finds, the Court may reduce the
s t i p u l a t e d p e n a l t i e s as a p p r o p r i a t e , but such r e d u c t i o n shall
be no more than f i f t y p e r c e n t (50%). Settling D e f e n d a n t s shall
