TIPS Administration Fees The collection of administrative fees by TIPS, a government entity, for performance of these procurement services is required pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 791.011 et. seq. The administration fee (“TIPS Administration Fee”) is the amount legally owed by Vendor to TIPS for TIPS Sales made by Vendor. The TIPS Administration Fee amount is typically a set percentage of the amount paid by the TIPS Member for each TIPS Sale, less shipping cost, bond cost, and taxes if applicable and identifiable, which is legally due to TIPS, but the exact TIPS Administration Fee for this Contract is published in the corresponding solicitation and is incorporated herein by reference. TIPS Administration Fees are due to TIPS immediately upon Vendor’s receipt of payment, including partial payment, for a TIPS Sale. The TIPS Administration Fee is assessed on the amount paid by the TIPS Member, not on the Vendor’s cost or on the amount for which the Vendor sold the item to a dealer or Authorized Reseller. Upon receipt of payment for a TIPS Sale, including partial payment (which renders TIPS Administration Fees immediately due), Vendor shall issue to TIPS the corresponding TIPS Administration Fee payment as soon as possible but not later than thirty-one calendar days following Vendor’s receipt of payment. Vendor shall pay TIPS via check unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing. Vendor shall include clear documentation with the issued payment dictating to which sale(s) the amount should be applied. Vendor may create a payment report within their TIPS Vendor Portal which is the preferred documentation dictating to which TIPS Sale(s) the amount should be applied. Failure to pay all TIPS Administration Fees pursuant to this provision may result in immediate cancellation of Vendor’s TIPS Contract(s) for cause at TIPS’ sole discretion as well as the initiation of collection and legal actions by TIPS against Vendor to the extent permitted by law. Any overpayment of participation fees to TIPS by Vendor will be refunded to the Vendor
Claims Administration An employee will be required to comply with any and all rules and regulations and/or limitations established by the carrier or applicable third party administrator and contained in the policy, and employees and their dependents shall look solely to such carrier or third party administration for the adjudication of the payment of any and all benefits claims.
Administrative Costs Administrative costs will not be included in the budget neutrality limit, but the State must separately track and report additional administrative costs that are directly attributable to the Demonstration. All such administrative costs must be identified on the Forms CMS-64.10 Waiver and/or 64.10P Waiver, using “MA Demo” as the waiver name.
Claims Administrator 12. The Claims Administrator shall be selected by Class Counsel and approved by the Court. 13. The Claims Administrator shall administer the process of receiving, reviewing and approving or denying claims under Class Counsel’s supervision and subject to the jurisdiction of the Court. 14. The Claims Administrator shall receive Claims and determine first, whether the Claim is an Authorized Claim, in whole or in part; and second, each Authorized Claimant’s pro rata share of the Net Cash Settlement Amount based upon each Authorized Claimant’s Recognized Alleged Loss amount. 15. The Settlement Fund shall be applied as follows: (1) to pay Class Counsel’s Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses, and the Service Award and expenses of Plaintiff (the “Attorneys’ Fees, Expenses and Service Award”), if and to the extent allowed by the Court; (2) to pay all the costs and expenses reasonably and actually incurred in connection with providing notice, locating Settlement Class Members, soliciting Settlement Class claims, assisting with the filing of claims, administering and distributing the Net Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants, processing Claim Forms, and paying escrow fees and costs, if any; (3) to pay any taxes and tax expenses; and (4) to distribute the balance of the Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants as allowed by the Settlement Agreement, the Plan of Allocation, or order of the Court. 16. The Plan of Allocation is not a necessary term of this Settlement Agreement, and it is not a condition of this Settlement Agreement that any particular Plan of Allocation be approved. 17. Each Authorized Claimant shall be allocated a pro rata share of the Net Cash Settlement Amount based on his, her or its Recognized Alleged Loss compared to the total Recognized Alleged Losses of all Authorized Claimants. Defendants shall not be entitled to any of the Settlement consideration once the Effective Date has occurred. 18. Any Class Member who does not submit a valid Claim Form will not be entitled to receive any distribution from the Net Cash Settlement Amount, but will otherwise be bound by all of the terms of this Settlement Agreement and the Settlement, including the terms of the Final Order Approving Settlement to be entered in the Class Action and the Releases provided for herein, and will be barred and enjoined from bringing any action against the Releasees concerning the Released Claims. 19. Class Counsel shall be responsible for supervising the administration of the Settlement and disbursement of the Net Cash Settlement Amount by the Claims Administrator. Defendants shall have no liability, obligation, involvement, or responsibility for the administration of the Settlement or disbursement of the Net Cash Settlement Amount. Class Counsel shall have the right, but not the obligation, to waive what they deem to be non-substantive or technical defects in any Claim Forms submitted in the interests of achieving substantial justice. 20. For purposes of determining the extent, if any, to which a Settlement Class Member shall be entitled to be treated as an Authorized Claimant, the following conditions shall apply: a. Each Class Member shall be required to submit a Claim Form setting forth the Class Member’s Alleged Losses, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, supported by such documents as are designated therein, or as the Claims Administrator or Class Counsel, in their discretion, may deem acceptable. b. All Claim Forms must be submitted by the date set by the Court in the Preliminary Approval Order and specified in the Notice, which the Parties will request to be sixty (60) days after mailing, unless such deadline is extended by Order of the Court. Any Class Member who fails to submit a Claim Form by such date shall be forever barred from receiving any distribution from the Net Cash Settlement Amount or payment pursuant to this Settlement Agreement (unless, by Order of the Court, late-filed Claim Forms are accepted), but shall in all other respects be bound by all of the terms of this Settlement Agreement and the Settlement including the terms of the Final Order Approving Settlement and the Releases provided for herein, and will be barred and enjoined from bringing any action against the Releasees concerning the Released Claims. A Claim Form shall be deemed to be submitted when posted, if received with a postmark indicated on the envelope and if mailed by first-class mail and addressed in as per the instructions thereon. c. Each Claim Form shall be submitted to and reviewed by the Claims Administrator, under the supervision of Class Counsel, who shall determine in accordance with this Settlement Agreement, the extent, if any, to which each Claim shall be allowed, subject to review by the Court pursuant to subparagraph “f” below; d. Claim Forms that do not meet the submission requirements may be rejected. Prior to rejecting a Claim in whole or in part, the Claims Administrator shall communicate with the Claimant in writing, email or by telephone to give the Claimant the chance to remedy any curable deficiencies in the Claim Form submitted. The Claims Administrator, under the supervision of Class Counsel, shall notify, in a timely fashion and in writing, all Claimants whose Claim they propose to reject in whole or in part, setting forth the reasons therefore, and shall indicate in such notice that the Claimant whose claim is to be rejected has the right to a review by the Court if the Claimant so desires and complies with the requirements of subparagraph (e) below. e. If any Claimant whose claim has been rejected in whole or in part desires to contest such rejection, the Claimant must, within twenty-one (21) days after the date of mailing of the notice required in subparagraph (d) above, serve upon the Claims Administrator a notice and statement of reasons indicating the Claimant’s grounds for contesting the rejection along with any supporting documentation, and requesting a review thereof by the Court. If a dispute concerning a Claim cannot be otherwise resolved, Class Counsel shall thereafter present the request to the Court. f. The administrative determinations of the Claims Administrator in accepting and rejecting Claims shall be presented for approval by the Court. 21. Each Claimant shall be deemed to have submitted to the jurisdiction of the Court with respect to the Claimant’s Claim, and the Claim will be subject to investigation and discovery under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, provided, however that such investigation and discovery shall be limited to that Claimant’s status as a Class Member and the validity and amount of the Claimant’s Claim. No discovery shall be allowed on the merits of the Class Action or Settlement in connection with the processing of Claim Forms. 22. Class Counsel will apply to the Court for a Class Distribution Order: (a) approving the Claims Administrator’s administrative determinations concerning the acceptance and rejection of the Claims submitted; (b) approving payment of any administration fees and expenses associated with the administration of the Settlement from the Settlement Administration Account; and (c) if the Effective Date has occurred, directing payment of the Net Cash Settlement Amount to the Authorized Claimants. 23. The Net Cash Settlement Amount shall be distributed to Authorized Claimants substantially in accordance with the Plan of Allocation set forth in the Class Notice and approved by the Court. Any such Plan of Allocation is not a part of this Settlement Agreement. No funds from the Net Cash Settlement Amount shall be distributed to Authorized Claimants until the Effective Date. If there is any balance remaining in the Net Cash Settlement Amount after six (6) months from the date of distribution of the Net Cash Settlement Amount, Class Counsel shall, if feasible, reallocate such balance among Authorized Claimants in an equitable and economic fashion. Thereafter, any remaining balance shall be donated to one or more secular §501(c)(3) organization(s) selected by Class Counsel, not related or controlled by any Party or their counsel. 24. Payment pursuant to the Class Distribution Order shall be final and conclusive against all Class Members who are Authorized Claimants. 25. All proceedings with respect to the administration, processing and determination of Claims and the determination of all controversies relating thereto, including disputed questions of law and fact with respect to the validity of Claims, shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court. 26. The Claims Administrator is to be charged with, among other things, distribution of the Class Notice, setting up and running a toll-free center to respond to calls, receipt and handling of requests for information, receipt of requests for exclusion and distribution of settlement relief to Class Members in the Settlement. I. Releases and Waivers 27. Pursuant to the Order Approving Settlement, without further action by anyone, and whether or not a Claim Form has been executed and/or delivered by or on behalf of any such Settlement Class Member, on and after the Effective Date, Representative Plaintiff and all other Settlement Class Members, on behalf of themselves and their other Releasors, for good and sufficient consideration, and all Releasors shall be deemed to have, and by operation of law and of the Order Approving Settlement shall have, fully, finally, and forever released, relinquished, settled, and discharged: a. all Released Claims; b. all Claims, damages, and liabilities against each and every one of the Releasees to the extent that any such Claims, damages, or liability relate in any way to any or all acts, omissions, nondisclosures, facts, matters, transactions, occurrences, or oral or written statements or representations in connection with, or directly or indirectly relating to (i) the prosecution, defense, or settlement of the Class Action, (ii) the Settlement Agreement, (iii) the Settlement terms and their implementation, (iv) the provision of notice in connection with the proposed Settlement, and/or (v) the resolution of any Claim Forms filed in connection with the Settlement; and c. all Claims against any of the Releasees for attorneys’ fees, costs, or disbursements incurred by Plaintiff’s counsel, the settlement of the Class Action, or the administration of the Settlement, except as otherwise specified in the Settlement Agreement. 28. The Settling Parties agree and acknowledge that this Settlement Agreement is intended to resolve and satisfy any and all claims that the Releasors have made or could have made against any of the Releasees arising out of the issuance or sale of GrowCo securities. The Parties agree and acknowledge that they shall seek as part of the Final Order Approving Settlement an order prohibiting further lawsuits and claims against the Defendants arising out of the issuance and sale of GrowCo securities which the Parties intend to operate as a complete bar to any lawsuits or claims against the Defendants arising out of the issuance or sale of GrowCo securities (the “Complete Bar Order”). The Complete Bar Order will not bar claims for collection of any amounts due under the GrowCo securities pursuant to the terms of the securities, including claims in the event of a GrowCo liquidation including in the GrowCo Bankruptcy Action. 29. Nothing in the Final Order Approving Settlement shall bar any action or Claim by the Settling Parties or their counsel to enforce the terms of the Settlement Agreement or the Order Approving Settlement. 30. The Releasors and each of them agree and covenant not to sue or prosecute, institute or cooperate in the institution, commencement, filing, or prosecution of any suit or proceeding in any forum based upon or related to any Released Claims against any Releasee. 31. Each of the releases, waivers, and covenants not to sue contained in this Section was separately bargained for and is an essential element of the Settlement Agreement.

Reinsurance Administration A. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, the Cedent shall take all reasonable and appropriate steps to furnish the Reinsurer with a seriatim electronic report, as detailed in Schedule C, for each Reinsured Contract, valued as of the last day of that month. On or before September 30, 2001, the Cedent shall provide the initial seriatim electronic report, which shall cover the period from the Effective Date hereof through August 31, 2001; provided, however, that the initial seriatim electronic report may omit Funding Vehicle Values by MorningStar designation. The Cedent shall provide complete seriatim electronic data, as required herein, on or before April 30, 2002. Failure to provide this information as required shall constitute a material breach within the scope of Article XX, Paragraph G. B. Additionally, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month the Cedent shall furnish the Reinsurer with a separate Summary Statement containing the following: 1. Reinsurance Premiums due to the Reinsurer summarized separately for each premium class by GMDB, EPB, and Income Program, as shown in Exhibit II; 2. benefit claim recoverables due to the Cedent in total and, if applicable, broken down by VNAR, SCNAR, and EEMNAR and Income Program; and 3. the month end date for the period covered by the Summary Statement. C. If the net balance is due to the Reinsurer, the Cedent shall remit the amount due with the Summary Statement, but no later than thirty (30) days after the month end date for the period covered by the Summary Statement. If the net balance is due to the Cedent, the Reinsurer shall remit the amount due to the Cedent within ten (10) days after receipt of the Summary Statement. D. The payment of Reinsurance Premiums is a condition precedent to the liability of the Reinsurer under this Agreement. In the event that the Cedent does not pay the Reinsurance Premiums in a timely manner, as defined below, the Reinsurer may exercise the following rights: 1. The Reinsurer shall charge interest if Reinsurance Premiums are not paid within thirty (30) days of the due date, as defined in Paragraph C of this Article. The interest rate charged shall be based on the ninety-(90) day federal Treasury Xxxx, as published in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day in the month following the due date of the Reinsurance Premiums, plus one hundred (100) basis points. The method of calculation shall be simple interest (360-day year). 2. The Reinsurer may terminate this Agreement in the event that Reinsurance Premium payments are more than sixty (60) days past due after the due date, as described in Paragraph C of this Article, by giving sixty (60) day written notice of termination to the Cedent. As of the close of the last day of this sixty-(60) day notice period, the Reinsurer's liability with respect to the ceded liabilities shall terminate. If all Reinsurance Premiums that are the subject of a sixty (60) day termination notice shall have been received by the Reinsurer within the time specified, the termination notice shall be deemed vacated and the Agreement shall remain in effect.
