CONDITIONS OF SETTLEMENT, EFFECT OF DISAPPROVAL, CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION 8.1 The Effective Date of the Stipulation shall be conditioned on the occurrence of all of the following events:
(a) execution of the Stipulation and such other documents as may be required to obtain final Court approval of the Stipulation in a form satisfactory to the Settling Parties;
(b) the Settlement Amount has been deposited with the Escrow Agent;
(c) Defendants have not exercised their option to terminate the Stipulation pursuant to ¶8.4 hereof;
(d) the Court has entered the Notice Order, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, as required by ¶4.1 hereof;
(e) the Court has entered the Judgment that, inter alia, dismisses with prejudice the Action, as to Plaintiffs and the Defendants, as set forth above; and
(f) the Judgment has become Final, as defined in ¶1.10 hereof.
8.2 Upon the occurrence of all of the events referenced in ¶8.1 hereof, any and all remaining interest or right of Defendants in or to the Settlement Fund, if any, shall be absolutely and forever extinguished. If all of the conditions specified in ¶8.1 hereof are not met, then the Stipulation shall be canceled and terminated subject to ¶8.5 hereof unless Lead Counsel and counsel for Defendants mutually agree in writing to proceed with the Settlement.
8.3 The Settling Parties expect that, upon the occurrence of all of the events referenced in ¶8.1 hereof, the action captioned Xxxxxx Xxxx v. Camping World, et al., No. 2019-CH-02404 (Ill. Cir. Ct. Cook Cty.) will be subsequently dismissed, and will take all steps reasonably appropriate to seek such dismissal.
8.4 If, prior to the Settlement Hearing, Persons who otherwise would be members of the Class have timely requested exclusion from the Class in accordance with the provisions of the Notice Order and the Notice given pursuant thereto, and such Persons in the aggregate purchased or otherwise acquired a number of shares of Camping World common stock during the Class Period in an amount greater than the sum specified in a separate Supplemental Agreement Regarding Requests for Exclusion (“Supplemental Agreement”) executed between Plaintiffs and Camping World, Camping World shall have the sole option to terminate this Stipulation and Settlement in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Supplemental Agreement. The Supplemental Agreement will not be filed with the Court unless and until a dispute between Plaintiffs and Camping World concerning its interpretation or application arises. Copies of all requests for exclusion received, together with copies of all written revocations of requests for exclusion, shall be promptly delivered to Defendants’ counsel by Lead Counsel. Camping World may terminate the Stipulation and Settlement pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement by serving written notice of termination on the Court and Lead Counsel on or before seven (7) business days after the receipt of all of the copies of the requests for exclusion, on or before ten (10) business days after the Court grants additional time for exclusion for any reason, or on or before three (3) business days before the Settlement Hearing, whichever occurs last. In the event that the Camping World serves a written notice of termination pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, Camping World may withdraw its written notice of termination by providing written notice of such withdrawal to Lead Counsel and to the Court by no later than 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the day prior to the Settlement Hearing, or by such later date as shall be agreed upon in writing as between Lead Counsel and Defendants’ counsel. Plaintiffs agree that they shall not elect to opt out from the Class.
8.5 Each of Plaintiffs and Defendants shall have the right to terminate the Settlement and this Stipulation by providing written notice of their election to do so (“Termination Notice”) to all other parties hereto within thirty (30) calendar days of: (a) the Court’s refusal to enter the Notice Order; (b) the Court’s refusal to approve the Settlement; (c) the Court’s refusal to enter the Judgment; (d) the date upon which the Judgment is reversed or vacated or altered following an appeal taken therefrom, or is successfully collaterally attacked; or (e) the failure of the Effective Date to occur for any reason. For avoidance of doubt, no order of the Court or modification or reversal on appeal of any order of the Court concerning the Plan of Allocation or the amount of attorneys’ fees, expenses and interest awarded by the Court to Lead Counsel or costs or awards to Plaintiffs shall operate to terminate or cancel this Stipulation or constitute grounds for cancellation or termination of the Settlement.
8.6 Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, in the event the Stipulation shall terminate, or be canceled, or shall not become effective for any reason, within five (5) business days after written notification of such event is sent by counsel for Defendants or Lead Counsel, the Settlement Fund (including accrued interest), less expenses which have either been incurred or disbursed pursuant to ¶¶3.7 or 3.8 hereof, shall be refunded pursuant to written instructions from Defendants’ counsel. At the request of counsel for Defendants, the Escrow Agent or their designee shall apply for any tax refund owed on the Settlement Fund and pay the proceeds, after deduction of any expenses incurred in connection with such application(s) for refund, at the written direction of Defendants’ counsel.
8.7 In the event that the Stipulation is not approved by the Court or the Settlement set forth in the Stipulation is terminated or fails to become effective in accordance with its terms, the Settling Parties shall be restored to their respective positions in the Action as of August 16, 2019. In such event, the terms and provisions of the Stipulation, with the exception of ¶¶1.1-1.28, 3.7-3.9, 7.2, 8.4-8.6 and 9.3-9.5 hereof, shall have no further force and effect with respect to the Settling Parties and shall not be used in this Action or in any other proceeding for any purpose, and any Judgment or order entered by the Court in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation shall be treated as vacated, nunc pro tunc, and the Settling Parties shall be deemed to return to their status as of August 16, 2019, and shall be required to present an amended trial schedule to the Court. No order of the Court or modification or reversal on appeal of any such order of the Court concerning the Plan of Allocation or the amount of any attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, and interest awarded by the Court to Lead Counsel or Plaintiffs shall constitute grounds for cancellation or termination of the Stipulation.
