NOW, THEREFORE, upon reading the Thurin Affidavit, submitted on behalf of Epiq, and the accompanying motion and memorandum in support, and upon all prior proceedings herein and after due deliberation, it is hereby:
ORDERED that all Authorized Claimants whose Second Distribution checks are stale-dated and who have not requested a check reissue prior to the entry of this Order will irrevocably forfeit any additional recovery from the Settlement, and the funds allocated to all such stale-dated checks will be available for re-distribution to other Authorized Claimants; and it is further
ORDERED that Epiq be paid up to $56,952 from the remaining balance of the Net Settlement Fund for its fees and expenses incurred, and to be incurred, in connection with its services provided, and to be provided, through the completion of this Action; and it is further
ORDERED that Epiq will conduct a third distribution of the Net Settlement Fund ("Third Distribution"), pursuant to which the remaining balance of the Net Settlement Fund, after deducting the payment to Epiq, and after deducting any payments for estimated taxes and the costs of preparing appropriate tax returns and escrow fees, will be distributed to all eligible Authorized Claimants (i.e., Authorized Claimants who have cashed their checks from the Second Distribution, or have submitted a check reissue request prior to the date of entry of this Order) and who would receive at least $10.00 from such re-distribution); and it is further

ORDERED that Authorized Claimants who do not cash their checks within the time allotted will irrevocably forfeit all recovery from the Third Distribution; and it is further
ORDERED that if after six (6) months after the Third Distribution any funds remain in the Net Settlement Fund from uncashed or returned checks after Epiq has made reasonable and diligent efforts to have Authorized Claimants who are entitled to participate in the Third Distribution cash their checks, and after payment of any unpaid costs or fees incurred or to be incurred in connection with administering the Net Settlement Fund, such remaining funds shall be donated to Bay Area Legal Aid, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization selected by Lead Plaintiffs through their Counsel and agreed to by Marvell Technology Group Ltd; and it is further
ORDERED that all persons involved in the review, verification, calculation, tabulation, or any other aspect of the processing of the claims submitted herein, or otherwise involved in the administration or taxation of the Settlement Fund or the Net Settlement Fund are released and discharged from any and all claims arising out of such involvement, and all Class Members, whether or not they are to receive payment from the Net Settlement Fund, are barred from making any further claim against the Net Settlement Fund or the released persons beyond the amount allocated to them pursuant to this Order; and it is further
ORDERED that this Court retain jurisdiction over any further application or matter which may arise in connection with this Action.
