Certification of the Settlement Classes. The Agreement provides for a nationwide class settlement of the Released Claims, as defined below, of two proposed classes concerning certain practices with respect to Viridian variable rate electricity and/or gas plans. Xxxxxxxx has at all times disputed, and continues to dispute, Plaintiffs’ allegations in the Litigation, denies any liability for any of the claims that have or could have been alleged by Plaintiffs or other members of the Settlement Classes, and denies any wrongdoing. However, as a part of the Agreement, Viridian is not objecting to the certification of the two settlement classes defined below for settlement purposes only. The Agreement settles all Released Claims that have been or could have been brought in the proposed class-action Litigation. A. The Court has considered (1) allegations, information, arguments, and authorities provided by the parties in connection with pleadings and motions previously filed by each of them in this case; (2) information, arguments, and authorities provided in the memoranda submitted in support of Plaintiffs’ preliminary approval motion; (3) Viridian’s decision to not object to certification of the settlement classes specified in the Agreement; (4) the terms of the Agreement including, but not limited to, the definition of the settlement classes and the benefits to be provided to each settlement class, respectively; and (5) the Agreement’s elimination of any potential manageability issues, ascertainability issues, and individualized issues of fact and law that could have had a bearing on the certification of these nationwide classes for trial. Based on those considerations, the Court reviewed the required factors for class certification under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a) and 23(b)(3) and makes the following findings. 1. Each Settlement Class is ascertainable. Each Settlement Class is defined solely with reference to objective criteria. It is administratively feasible to determine class membership in each Settlement Class during the Class Period from July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2016. 2. From July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2016, thousands of customers entered into variable rate contracts with Viridian for electricity and/or natural gas supply services. These numbers readily satisfy the numerosity requirement of Rule 23(a). 3. There are questions of law and fact common to all members of each Settlement Class, respectively, based on Viridian’s sale of the variable rate plans within and among each respective...

  • Settlement Class Pursuant to Rule 23(e)(1)(B)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court preliminarily finds that the Court will likely find that the requirements of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 23(a) and 23(b)(3) have been satisfied for settlement and judgment purposes only. As to the requirements of Rule 23(a) for settlement purposes only, (i) the Settlement Class provisionally certified herein likely exceeds 100,000 individuals, and joinder of all would be impracticable; (ii) there are questions of law and fact common to the Settlement Class; (iii) Class Representatives’ claims are typical of the claims of the Settlement Class they seek to represent for purposes of settlement; and (iv) Class Representatives are adequate representatives of the Settlement Class. As to the requirements of Rule 23(b)(3) for settlement purposes only, questions of law and fact common to the Settlement Class predominate over any questions affecting any individual Settlement Class Member, and a class action on behalf of the Settlement Class is superior to other available means of settling and disposing of this dispute.

  • Determination of Pass-Through Rates for COFI Certificates The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period after the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee as provided below on the basis of the Index and the applicable formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the COFI Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. Except as provided below, with respect to each Interest Accrual Period following the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not later than two Business Days prior to such Interest Accrual Period but following the publication of the applicable Index determine the Pass-Through Rate at which interest shall accrue in respect of the COFI Certificates during the related Interest Accrual Period. Except as provided below, the Index to be used in determining the respective Pass-Through Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular Interest Accrual Period shall be COFI for the second calendar month preceding the Outside Reference Date for such Interest Accrual Period. If at the Outside Reference Date for any Interest Accrual Period, COFI for the second calendar month preceding such Outside Reference Date has not been published, the Trustee shall use COFI for the third calendar month preceding such Outside Reference Date. If COFI for neither the second nor third calendar months preceding any Outside Reference Date has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, the Index for such Interest Accrual Period and for all subsequent Interest Accrual Periods shall be the National Cost of Funds Index for the third calendar month preceding such Interest Accrual Period (or the fourth preceding calendar month if such National Cost of Funds Index for the third preceding calendar month has not been published by such Outside Reference Date). In the event that the National Cost of Funds Index for neither the third nor fourth calendar months preceding an Interest Accrual Period has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, then for such Interest Accrual Period and for each succeeding Interest Accrual Period, the Index shall be LIBOR, determined in the manner set forth below. With respect to any Interest Accrual Period for which the applicable Index is LIBOR, LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on the related Interest Determination Date as provided in Section 4.08. In determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Reuters Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of New York City banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section 4.07. The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
