ORDER RE: DISTRIBUTION OF CLASS SETTLEMENT FUND

WHEREAS, on January 30, 2015, this Court entered an Order approving the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement dated September 12, 2014 (the "Settlement Agreement") and the Plan of Allocation; and

WHEREAS, this Court has retained jurisdiction of the above-captioned action (the "Action") for the purpose of considering any further application or matter which may arise in connection with the administration and execution of the Settlement and the processing of Proof of Claim forms and the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund to the Authorized Claimants.

NOW, THEREFORE, upon consideration of Lead Plaintiffs' Motion for Distribution of Class Settlement Fund and the Declaration of Brian Manigault ("Manigault Declaration") of the Angeion Group (the "Claims Administrator"), and upon all prior proceedings herein and after due deliberation, it is hereby

ORDERED, that the administrative determinations of the Claims Administrator accepting the claims as indicated on the computer printout of accepted claims submitted with and described in the Manigault Declaration, including claims submitted after December 30, 2014, are hereby accepted; and it is further

ORDERED, that the administrative determinations of the Claims Administrator rejecting the claims as indicated on the computer printout of rejected claims submitted with and described in the Manigault Declaration are hereby rejected; and it is further

ORDERED, that the balance of the Settlement Fund after deducting the payments previously allowed and set forth in the Settlement Agreement (the "Net Settlement Fund") shall be distributed to the eligible claimants listed on the computer printout submitted with the Manigault Declaration pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement and Plan of Allocation previously approved by this Court; and it is further

ORDERED, that in order to encourage Authorized Claimants to cash their distribution checks promptly and to avoid or reduce future expenses relating to unpaid distribution checks, the payments to be distributed to the authorized Claimants shall bear the notation "CASH PROMPTLY, VOID AND SUBJECT TO REDISTRIBUTION 180 DAYS AFTER ISSUE DATE." Authorized Claimants who do not cash their distribution checks with the time allotted shall irrevocably forfeit all recovery from the Settlement, and the funds allocated to all such stale-dated checks shall be made available to be re-distributed to other Authorized Claimants in any subsequent distributions; and it is further

ORDERED, that, if economically feasible, any funds remaining in the Net Settlement Fund six months after the initial distribution shall be allocated in a second distribution the Authorized Claimants who have cashed their checks from the initial distribution, or that, if a second distribution is not economically feasible, the balance of the Net Settlement Fund shall be donated to one or more secular Section 501(c)(3) organization(s) in accordance with the Settlement Agreement (¶ 5.8); 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 of 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 the Claims Administrator is hereby authorized to discard paper or hard copies of the Proofs of Claim and supporting documents not less than one year after the initial distribution of the Net Settlement Fund to the eligible claimants and electronic or magnetic media data not less than three years after the initial distribution of the Net Settlement Fund to the eligible claimants; and it is further

ORDERED, that this Court retain jurisdiction over any further application or matter which may arise in connection with this Action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
