Extent of Cooperation (1) Prior to December 31, 2017, Counsel for the Settling Defendants met with Class Counsel in Canada or the United States, to provide an oral evidentiary proffer which included information originating with the Settling Defendants that was not covered by privilege relating to the allegations in the Proceedings. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Settlement Agreement, and for greater certainty, it is agreed that all statements made and information provided by Counsel for the Settling Defendants are privileged, will be kept strictly confidential, may not be directly or indirectly disclosed to any other Person, unless disclosure is ordered by a Court. Further, absent a Court order, Class Counsel will not attribute any factual information obtained from the proffer to the Settling Defendants and/or Counsel for the Settling Defendants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Class Counsel may: (i) use information obtained from the proffer in the prosecution of the Proceedings, including for the purpose of developing an allocation plan relating to any settlement or judgment proceeds, except the prosecution of any claims against Releasees; and (ii) may rely on such information to certify that, to the best of Class Counsel’s knowledge, information and belief, such information has evidentiary support or will likely have evidentiary support after reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery, but, absent a Court Order, the Plaintiffs shall not introduce any information from a proffer into the record or subpoena any Counsel for the Settling Defendants related to a proffer.
