SECTION 1—RECITALS

1.1 WHEREAS:

X. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx (now deceased) and Xxxxxx Xxxxx commenced the Action against the Defendants alleging among other things that the Defendants charged, or permitted to be charged, fees for short term loans which constituted interest at a criminal rate contrary to s. 347 of the Criminal Code of Canada;

B. The Defendants have denied and continue to deny the Plaintiffs’ claims in the Action and have denied any wrongdoing or liability to the Plaintiffs of any kind, and have raised numerous affirmative defences;

C. Based upon extensive analysis of the facts and the law applicable to the Plaintiffs’ claims, and taking into account the extensive burdens and expense of continued litigation, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the completion of the Trial and any potential appeal, the risk of collection, as well as the fair, cost-effective and assured method of resolving the Plaintiffs’ claims and the claims of the Settlement Class, Class Counsel and the Plaintiffs, with the benefit of advice from Class Counsel, concluded that the Agreement is fair and reasonable, and in the best interests of the Settlement Class;

D. The Defendants similarly have concluded that the Agreement is desirable in order to avoid the time, risks and expense of continuing with the Trial and any potential appeals, and to resolve finally and completely the pending and potential claims of the Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class;

E. The Plaintiffs and the Defendants engaged in lengthy, hard fought and extensive litigation, negotiations and independent mediation sessions on multiple occasions, which mediation sessions resulted in the adjournment of the Trial and the Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Agreement are recommended by the independent mediator, the Honourable Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, C.C., Q.C.;

F. The Parties intend by the Agreement to resolve, terminate and finally conclude any and all Settled Claims pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, and further intend that the Released Persons shall receive complete releases and final peace from all such Settled Claims on behalf of the Settlement Class; and

NOW, THEREFORE, for value received, the Parties stipulate and agree, subject to Court approval, that any and all Settled Claims shall be finally settled and resolved on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement:
