Pursuant to Fed R. CIV. P. 23(e), the Court finds that the Settlement embodied in the Settlement Agreement is fair, reasonable, and adequate to the Plan and the Settlement Class, and more particularly finds that: a. The Settlement was negotiated vigorously and at arm’s-length, under the auspices of an experienced, neutral mediator, by Defense Counsel on the one hand, and by Class Counsel on behalf of the Class Representatives and the Settlement Class, on the other hand; b. Class Representatives and Defendants had sufficient information to evaluate the settlement value of the Class Action; c. If the Settlement had not been achieved, Class Representatives and the Settlement Class faced the expense, risk, and uncertainty of extended litigation; d. The amount of the Settlement— fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000.00)—is fair, reasonable, and adequate, taking into account the costs, risks, and delay of trial and appeal. The method of distributing the Settlement Fund is efficient and requires no filing of claims for participants, Beneficiaries, and Alternate Payees with Active Accounts, and requires only a modest Former Participant Claim Form for Former Participants, Beneficiaries, and Alternate Payees without Active Accounts. The Settlement terms related to attorneys’ fees and expenses, and case contribution awards to Class Representatives, do not raise any questions concerning fairness of the Settlement, and there are no agreements, apart from the Settlement, required to be considered under FED. R. CIV. P. 23(e)(2)(C)(iv). The Settlement Amount is within the range of settlement values obtained in similar cases; e. At all times, the Class Representatives and Class Counsel have acted independently of Defendants and in the interest of the Settlement Class; and f. The Court has duly considered and overruled any filed objection(s) to the Settlement to the extent there were any.
