AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants and the mutual obligations hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, MPH and RN hereby agree as follows:
1. Bistro Settlement. MPH acknowledges and agrees that RN may purchase miles pursuant to this Agreement at the rate set forth on Exhibit A to satisfy awards to Qualified Claimants as part of the settlement of that certain class action lawsuit styled as Bistro Executive, Inc., dba Tournesol, et al. v. Rewards Network Inc., et al., Case No. CV-04-4640-CBM, as approved finally by the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the “Lawsuit”). Such Mile awards to be purchased by RN as part of the final and approved settlement of the Lawsuit will be provided to Qualified Claimants in three separate installments prior to December 31, 2009. As used in this Agreement, “Qualified Claimants” means each person/entity that files a claim for compensation under the terms of the final settlement approved in the Lawsuit (such compensation including awards of frequent flyer miles), that, as part of the claim filed, the Qualified Claimant designates the Program as the source of its frequent-flyer mile award, and which claim is approved by the claims administrator as part of the claims process. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement until such time as the final Mile awards are made by RN to Qualified Claimants in 2009 and MPH has posted the miles to the frequent flyer accounts designated by RN.
