Settlement Administration 5.1 The Settlement Administrator shall, under the supervision of the Court, administer the relief provided by this Settlement Agreement by processing Claim Forms in a rational, responsive, cost effective, and timely manner. The Settlement Administrator shall maintain reasonably detailed records of its activities performed under this Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Administrator shall maintain all such records as are required by applicable law in accordance with its normal business practices, and such records will be made available to Class (a) Forward to Defendant’s Counsel, with copies to Class Counsel, all original documents and other materials received in connection with the administration of the Settlement Agreement within thirty (30) days after the date on which all Claim Forms have been finally approved or disallowed per the terms of the Settlement Agreement; (b) Receive requests from Settlement Class Members to exclude themselves from the Settlement Agreement and promptly provide to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel a copy thereof upon receipt. If the Settlement Administrator receives any exclusion requests from Settlement Class Members after the deadline for the submission of such forms and requests, the Settlement Administrator shall promptly provide copies thereof to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel. (c) Provide weekly reports to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel as provided in the contract to be entered into by Defendant with the Settlement Administrator, including without limitation, reports regarding the number of Claim Forms received. (d) Make available for inspection by Class Counsel or Defendant’s Counsel the Claim Forms and any other documents or correspondence received by the Settlement Administrator relating to the Settlement Agreement at any time upon reasonable notice. 5.2 The Settlement Administrator shall employ reasonable procedures to screen Claim Forms for abuse or fraud, including by cross-referencing the contact information provided on the Claim Forms against the Class List, and where a Claimant’s contact information does not appear on the Class List, the Settlement Administrator shall request from that Claimant further information. The Settlement Administrator shall reject a Claim Form, or any part of a claim for a payment reflected therein, where there is evidence of abuse or fraud. The Settlement Administrator shall also reject a Claim Form that does not contain all requested information necessary to screen the claim for fraud or abuse, after giving the Claimant a reasonable opportunity to provide any requested missing information.
