2. Final Order, as itemized in footnote 3 of the accompanying Memorandum in Support of Class
Plaintiffs' Motion for an Order for Final Distribution of the Net Settlement Fund (the
"Memorandum").
The remaining Settlement Fund (after payment of the first 50% of court approved
attorneys' fees and expenses; Lead Plaintiffs' compensatory awards; and settlement notice related
costs) presently totals $11,864,286.11.
Based on the engagement letter with Berdan dated November 19, 2014, Berdan is entitled
to administrative fees totaling $132,898.48, as itemized in Exhibit F to the Affidavit of Michael
Rosenbaum in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion for an Order of Distribution (the "Rosenbaum
Affidavit"), which would be payable from the Settlement Fund.
Under ~~ 18-19 of the Final Order, the balance of the prior-approved attorney's fees and
expenses payable from the Settlement Fund upon entry of this Order totals $1,750,000.00 in fees
and $113,466.96 in expenses, which likewise is payable from the Settlement Fund.
The balance of the Settlement Fund after all these payments to attorneys and the claims
administrator (the "Net Settlement Fund") is payable pro rata to claimants who submitted valid
claims as recommended by Berdan.
This Court has authorized and directed the parties to implement all of the terms and
provisions of the Settlement Stipulation and has retained jurisdiction over this Action for the
purpose of considering any further application or matter which may arise in connection with the
administration and execution of the Settlement, the processing of Proofs of Claims, and the
distribution of the Net Settlement Fund.
