RICHARD F. BOULWARE, II, District Judge.

Upon review and consideration of Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement, including the Parties' Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims (the "Settlement Agreement" or "Agreement") and all exhibits thereto, and the arguments of counsel, and having been fully advised in the premises, it is HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED as follows:

1. Settlement Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Order shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

2. Jurisdiction. The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Action, the Parties, and all members of the Settlement Class.

3. Scope of Settlement. The Agreement resolves all Released Claims against the Released Parties.

4. Preliminary Approval of Proposed Settlement. The Court has conducted a preliminary evaluation of the Settlement as set forth in the Agreement. Based on this preliminary evaluation, the Court finds that: (a) the Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate, and within the range of possible approval; (b) the Settlement has been negotiated in good faith at arm's length between experienced attorneys familiar with the legal and factual issues of this case; (c) with respect to the forms of notice of the material terms of the Settlement to persons in the Settlement Class for their consideration (Exs. A, B, and C to the Agreement), that notice provides due and sufficient notice to the Settlement Class and fully satisfies the requirements of due process and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23; and (d) with respect to the proposed notice plan, the notice program constitutes the best notice practicable under the circumstances. Therefore, the Court grants preliminary approval of the Settlement.

5. Class Certification for Settlement Purposes Only. Pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court conditionally certifies for purposes of this Settlement only, the following Settlement Class:

6. The Court makes the following determinations as to certification of the Settlement Class:

a. The Settlement Class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable;

b. There are questions of law or fact common to the members of the Settlement Class;

c. The claims of the Plaintiffs are typical of the claims of the other members of the Settlement Class;

d. Plaintiffs are capable of fairly and adequately protecting the interests of the members of the Settlement Class, in connection with the Settlement Agreement;

e. Common questions of law and fact predominate over questions affecting only individual members of the Settlement Class;

f. The Settlement Class is ascertainable; and

g. Resolution of the Released Claims in this Action by way of a nationwide settlement is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient resolution of the claims of the Settlement Class.

7. Designation of Class Representatives. The Court appoints Plaintiffs Jeremy Bauman and Bijan Razilou as representatives of the Settlement Class ("Class Representatives") for the sole purpose of seeking a settlement of the Action.

8. Designation of Class Counsel. The law firms of Sound Justice Law Group, PLLC; Mazie Slater Katz & Freeman, LLC; Bailey Kennedy, LLP; Strategic Legal Practices, APC; and Marquis Aurbach Coffing, are hereby designated as Class Counsel for the Settlement Class. Albert H. Kirby of Sound Justice Law Group, PLLC and Matthew Mendelsohn of Mazie Slater Katz & Freeman, LLC, are hereby designated as Lead Class Counsel for the Settlement Class.

9. Final Approval Hearing. A hearing regarding final approval of the Settlement will be held at June 25, 2020 at 10:30 AM to determine, among other things, whether to: (i) finally approve the Settlement as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (ii) dismiss the Released Claims in the Action with prejudice pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement; (iii) bind Settlement Class Members by the Releases set forth in the Settlement Agreement; (iv) permanently bar Settlement Class Members who have not opted out of the Settlement from filing, commencing, prosecuting, intervening in, or participating in (as class members or otherwise) any action in any jurisdiction based on the Released Claims; (v) find that the Class Notice as given was the best notice practicable under the circumstances, is due and sufficient notice to the Settlement Class, and fully satisfies the requirements of due process and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23; (vi) approve the plan of distribution of the Settlement Fund; (vii) finally certify the Settlement Class; and (viii) approve requested Attorneys' Fees and Expenses and the proposed Incentive Awards to Plaintiffs.

11. Class Notice.

a. The Court approves the Class Notice in the Settlement Agreement, including the Long Form Notice, Email Notice, and Postcard Notice attached as Exhibits A, B, and C to the Settlement Agreement, the Reminder Email Notice and the manner of providing Email Notice and Postcard Notice to Settlement Class Members described in Section III of the Settlement Agreement. The Court finds that this is the best practicable notice under the circumstances and is reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise the Settlement Class Members of the pendency of this Action, the terms of the Settlement Agreement, and their right to object to the Settlement Agreement or exclude themselves from the Settlement Class. The Court further finds that the Long Form Notice, Email Notices, and Postcard Notice are reasonable, constitute due, adequate, and sufficient notice to all persons entitled to receive notice, and meet the requirements of due process. The Court hereby directs the Parties and the Settlement Administrator to complete all aspects of the Notice Plan no later than March 27, 2020 ("Notice Deadline").

b. The Settlement Administrator will file with the Court by no later than June 11, 2020, which is fourteen (14) days prior to the Final Approval Hearing, proof that notice was provided in accordance with the Agreement and this Order.

16. Subject to approval of the Court, any Settlement Class Member who files and serves a written objection in accordance with Section III of the Settlement Agreement and the Class Notice may appear, in person or by counsel, at the Final Approval Hearing held by the Court, to show cause why the proposed Settlement should not be approved as fair, adequate, and reasonable, but only if the objecting Settlement Class Member mails a notice of intention to appear at the Final Approval Hearing by the Objection Deadline ("Notice Of Intention To Appear") to the address identified in the Class Notice.
