PREAMBLE

This Agreement establishes a full and final resolution of all Claims arising from, related to, or in any way connected with allegations of potential injury, actual injury, or death due to exposure to manganese in welding fumes attributable to products of one or more Defendants (“Welding Fume Claims”), of the clients of all Plaintiffs’ Counsel against one or more of the Defendants, whether Asserted or Unasserted.

Each Plaintiffs’ Counsel represents one or more clients who have instituted lawsuits that are currently pending against one or more Defendants alleging Welding Fume Claims (“Asserted Claims”), including, but not limited to, Plaintiffs’ MDL Lead Counsel (“PLC”) and Plaintiffs’ MDL Executive Committee (“PEC”).

B. Each Plaintiffs’ Counsel also may have been retained prior to December 31, 2011 by one or more clients with purported timely Welding Fume Claims against one or more Defendants for which a lawsuit had not yet been instituted as of December 31, 2011 (“Unasserted Claims”); all of the clients described in paragraphs (A) and (B) of the Recitals, including those persons who have brought derivative claims, shall be referred to collectively as “Plaintiffs.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Plaintiffs” does not include persons who previously asserted Welding Fume Claims that were dismissed, with or without prejudice and who did not reinstitute such claims.

The Program will be administered pursuant to a written protocol substantially in the form of the Claims Processing and Program Fund Allocation Protocol developed and adopted by Plaintiffs’ Counsel (the “Protocol”), attached as Exhibit A.

G. A material term of this Agreement, and a key objective of the Program, is that all Plaintiffs accept this Agreement in full and final resolution of their Welding Fume Claims and participate in the Program established by Plaintiffs’ Counsel.

H. Aside from agreeing to the monetary payments specified in Section 4.1, Defendants have not had, and will not have, any responsibility for or role in staffing, administering or operating the Program or the Protocol or in allocating or dispensing funds among Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel.

I. Neither this Agreement nor the Program and Protocol will be construed as evidence of, or as an admission by, any Defendant or any Released Party of any fault, Liabilities, wrongdoing or damages of any kind whatsoever or as an admission by any Plaintiff of a lack of merit in their claims.

Defendants and all Plaintiffs’ Counsel hereby agree as follows:

Article 4

Minimum Standards for the Administration and Operation

of the Program; Quality Control and Audit Procedures

Section 4.1. General

Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall be solely responsible for all aspects of the Program, from creation through staffing, organization, management, administration and resolution, subject to and consistent with the provisions set forth in this Article 4, except that Plaintiffs executing and delivering a valid Release pursuant to Section 2.1, and, if required, a valid Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice pursuant to Section 2.2, will be awarded a minimum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) from the Program Fund in consideration for such Release and, if required, Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice. All Program Awards are subject to the provisions on Liens set forth in Section 6. Nothing in this Agreement guarantees that any Program Award will exceed the $100.00 minimum payment. The Claims Administrator will provide Defendants with the amount of the Program Award to be made to each Plaintiff and with each Plaintiff’s period of alleged exposure to welding fumes, to the best of the Claims Administrator’s information and belief, within five (5) days of the determination of the Program Awards.

Section 4.2. Recoupment of MDL Contributions

Plaintiffs’ Counsel have advised that the only common-benefit award they will seek from the Program Fund will be for recoupment of the money paid in the MDL proceeding into the plaintiffs’ litigation fund administered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Law Office, P.A. (“MDL Contributions”) and that the aggregate amount of all Program Awards issued for MDL Contributions shall not exceed one-third (1/3) of the gross Program Funds. Plaintiffs’ Counsel agree that they will not seek any common-benefit attorneys’ fees or other litigation costs.

Section 4.3. No Punitive Damages

Plaintiffs’ Counsel and Defendants agree that the amounts to be paid to each Plaintiff represents the satisfaction of that Plaintiff’s claim for compensatory damages arising from such Plaintiff’s claim for personal injury allegedly due to welding fumes. No portion of a Program Award represents the payment of punitive or exemplary damages within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Nonetheless, in consideration for the satisfaction of each Plaintiff’s personal injury claim for compensatory damages, each Plaintiff releases any and all claims for punitive and/or exemplary damages.

Section 4.4. Inaccuracy of Representations, Warranties, Certifications or Covenants

In the event that any representation, warranty, certification or covenant made in any Program Claim is inaccurate or breached in any material respect and, as a result, the Claims Administrator determines that a Plaintiff or Plaintiffs’ Counsel ceases to have any further rights under the Program to be considered to receive a Program Award pursuant to the Protocol, any Release or Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice provided by such Plaintiff shall remain valid and enforceable.

Section 4.5. No Misrepresentation of Program

Each Plaintiffs’ Counsel hereby covenants not to make any misrepresentation or mischaracterization to any Plaintiff or any other person with respect to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Program or Protocol, or the role of Defendants therewith, (iii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and/or (iv) any guarantee of receiving a Program Award or payment pursuant to the Program, as no such guarantee of a monetary award exists under the terms of this Agreement except as set forth in Section 4.1.

5.1.1. In the event less than 100% of all Plaintiffs listed on Exhibit B validly execute and deliver binding Releases and Stipulations of Dismissal With Prejudice (where applicable) within the deadlines set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 (subject to any extensions agreed to by the Parties in writing) or less than 100% of all Counsel listed on Exhibit F sign and deliver Ratification Signature Pages, the Defendants may terminate this Agreement without prejudice to any Parties or Plaintiffs and without any further obligation under the terms of this Agreement by giving written notice to Plaintiffs’ Counsel as set forth in the Notice provision of this Agreement at any time within forty (40) days after the deadline for all Plaintiffs to provide Defendants with Releases and Stipulations of Dismissal With Prejudice under Sections 2.1 and 2.2, or as may have been extended by the written agreement between the Parties (the “Termination Period”).

Section 5.2. Effects of Termination

5.2.1. Upon Defendants’ exercise of their Termination Right, notwithstanding any term of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement immediately shall terminate and Defendants immediately shall cease to have any Program Funding obligation or other obligation under this Agreement.

5.2.2. In the event Defendants exercise their Termination Right, all Releases and Stipulations of Dismissal With Prejudice obtained by Defendants pursuant to this Agreement shall be returned to the applicable Plaintiffs’ Counsel or destroyed, and shall have no legal effect.

5.2.3. In the event Defendants exercise their Termination Right, the Parties shall be returned to the litigation status as existing prior to the execution of this Agreement, without prejudice, and neither this Agreement nor its termination, nor any communication related to this Agreement shall constitute an admission by any Party nor be admissible in any court.

Section 5.3. Circumstances Triggering Payback of Defendants’ Program Funding Payment

Defendants shall be entitled before the Claims Administrator pays the Program Awards to repayment of the Program Funding Payment in the event that any Plaintiffs, or any Plaintiffs’ Counsel (i) seek any additional payments in any Court from any or all Defendants or other Released Parties beyond the Program Funding Payment as set forth under this Agreement, (ii) materially violate any of the Confidentiality provisions in this Agreement, or (iii) encourage, solicit, promote or in any other manner suggest that any other attorneys initiate legal proceedings relating to Welding Fume Claims. However, nothing in this Section 5.3 or in this Agreement is intended to operate as a “restriction” on the right of Plaintiffs’ Counsel to practice law within the meaning of any applicable Rules of Professional Conduct.

Article 6

Liens

Section 6.1. Liens

6.1.1. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in reaching this Agreement they have considered the interest of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS” or “Medicare”) in recovering conditional payments made for medical treatment allegedly rendered as a result of Welding Fume Claims subject to this Agreement and the obligations imposed pursuant to the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007, Pub. L. No. 110-173, 121 Stat. 2492 (2007) and its applicable guidelines (“MMSEA”) or the Medicare Secondary Payer Act (“MSP”), 42 U.S.C. § 1395y(b) (2008), and its applicable regulations, notwithstanding Defendants’ view that Welding Fume Claims are not the cause of any need for any medical treatment.

6.1.2. Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel agree and understand that Plaintiffs are solely responsible for paying and satisfying any and all Liens, claims or demands, private or public, to the extent they apply to the individual Program Awards, including without limitation, any and all liens, claims or demands under the MMSEA or the MSP.

6.1.3. Prior to any Program Award Payments being made by the Claims Administrator, Plaintiffs’ Counsel or the Lien Resolution Administrator shall identify in writing to Defendants and the Claims Administrator the Plaintiffs who are enrolled as Medicare beneficiaries (the “Holdback Plaintiffs”). With respect to such Holdback Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall cause the Claims Administrator to hold back in the Plaintiffs’ Program Account (1) the Program Award Payment for such Holdback Plaintiffs, or (2) if the Lien Resolution Administrator has determined the amount of the Medicare Liens as to such Holdback Plaintiffs, the portion of the Program Award Payment that is attributable to such Liens, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1.9.

6.1.4. The Lien Resolution Administrator, Plaintiffs and their respective Counsel shall be solely responsible for negotiating the satisfaction and discharge of all statutory Liens, either in the aggregate for all Holdback Plaintiffs or individually for each Holdback Plaintiff.

6.1.5. If and when the Lien Resolution Administrator (i) negotiates an aggregate resolution of the Holdback Plaintiffs’ Medicare Liens with CMS and (ii) obtains a final reimbursement amount from CMS with respect to all Holdback Plaintiffs, the Lien Resolution Administrator will provide the Claims Administrator and Defendants with the final reimbursement amount requested by CMS. The Claims Administrator will pay or cause to be paid from the Program Fund to CMS the final reimbursement amount requested by CMS. The Claims Administrator or Lien Resolution Administrator will provide Defendants and the parties listed on Exhibit E with confirmation of payment of the requested final reimbursement amount from CMS or its contracting agencies. The Claims Administrator shall be responsible for determining how the amount paid to obtain an aggregate release of liens from CMS will be allocated among the Holdback Plaintiffs.

6.1.6. If the Lien Resolution Administrator is unable to negotiate an aggregate release of the Holdback Plaintiffs’ Medicare Liens with CMS, then if and when the Lien Resolution Administrator (i) negotiates an individual resolution of a Holdback Plaintiff’s Medicare Lien with CMS and (ii) obtains a final demand letter from CMS or its contracting agencies with respect to such Holdback Plaintiff, the Lien Resolution Administrator will provide the Claims Administrator and Defendants with the final demand letter from CMS or its contracting agencies. The Claims Administrator will pay or cause to be paid from the Program Fund to CMS the amount set forth in the final demand letter, up to the amount of the Plaintiff’s Program Award, and receive a confirmation of satisfaction of the Medicare Lien from CMS or its contracting agencies. The Claims Administrator or Lien Resolution Administrator will provide Defendants and the parties listed on Exhibit E with proof of payment of the final demand letter amount to CMS and the confirmation of satisfaction of the Medicare Lien from CMS or its contracting agencies.

6.1.7. The Lien Resolution Administrator will also attempt to negotiate with CMS a method for the Parties and any other entity covered by the reporting requirements of Section 111 of the MMSEA (“Reporting Parties”) to meet their reporting obligations in the aggregate. If the Lien Resolution Administrator is able to negotiate such a method, then the Lien Resolution Administrator shall provide Defendants and the parties identified on Exhibit E) and the Claims Administrator with a letter from CMS detailing the steps the Reporting Parties can take to meet their reporting obligations. Plaintiffs and their Counsel shall be responsible for providing the Reporting Parties and the Lien Resolution Administrator with all information needed for them to meet the requirements negotiated by the Lien Resolution Administrator and set forth by CMS.

6.1.8. If the Lien Resolution Administrator is unable to negotiate a method for the Reporting Parties to meet their reporting obligations under Section 111 of the MMSEA in the aggregate, then, after the Claims Administrator has determined the amounts of Plaintiffs’ Program Payments, for any Plaintiff who is Medicare enrolled, such Plaintiff and his Counsel shall provide information to the Reporting Parties (including Defendants and the parties listed on Exhibit E) in connection with the Reporting Parties’ reporting requirements under the MMSEA as described on the data sheet attached as Form 1. It is understood that Form 1 may be modified if reasonably necessary to conform with any subsequent changes promulgated by CMS.

6.1.9. The Claims Administrator will not make any Program Award Payments to a Holdback Plaintiff until Defendants have confirmed receipt of either (i) confirmation of payment of the final reimbursement amount from CMS or its contracting agencies as described above in Paragraph 6.1.5 or (ii) a confirmation of satisfaction of Medicare Lien from CMS or its contracting agencies for that Holdback Plaintiff as described above in Paragraph 6.1.6, or (iii) a holdback amount established by the Lien Resolution Administrator following its data exchange with CMS or its representatives and agreed to by the Defendants and the parties listed in Exhibit E. Further, the Claims Administrator will not make any Program Award Payments to any Plaintiff until the Claims Administrator and the Reporting Parties (including Defendants and the parties listed on Exhibit E) have received either (i) the letter specified in Paragraph 6.1.7, and all information specified in such letter or (ii) the information required in Paragraph 6.1.8 with respect to that Plaintiff.

6.1.10. Plaintiffs shall discharge or cause to be discharged any workers’ compensation, subrogation, reimbursement and any other Liens and interests, including other statutory Liens, as well as any attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, without any further payment by Defendants other than the Program Funding Payment set forth in Paragraph 3.2.1.

6.1.11. To the extent a Plaintiff is subject to other Governmental Authority statutory Liens, such as a state payor program of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or other states, such statutory Liens and any notice requirements shall be handled with such

Governmental Authorities in the same manner as the statutory Liens held by CMS, including having Plaintiffs subject to such statutory Liens being designated as Holdback Plaintiffs until such Liens are resolved as set forth above using the methodologies adopted by the Lien Resolution Administrator following its experience and communications with appropriate representatives of the respective state payor programs.

6.1.12. Plaintiffs also waive any private cause of action they may have now or in the future under 42 U.S.C. § 1395y(b)(3)(A) in connection with any Medicare Liens that may exist now or in the future against any Program Award Payment.

6.1.13. Plaintiffs’ Counsel represent and warrant that the information (limited to Social Security Number, Name, Address, Date of Birth and injury that ultimately is determined by the Claims Administrator to be compensable) provided by Plaintiffs is accurate and that the Released Parties may reasonably rely on such information for purposes of compliance with Section 111 of the MMSEA and the MSP. Further, each Plaintiff also hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties, to the extent of the portion of the Program Award such Plaintiff received, from and against any and all damages, losses, costs (including, but not limited to, court costs), expenses (including legal fees and expenses), fines, penalties or Liabilities incurred by, suffered by, or imposed on, any Defendant or any other Released Party in connection with, arising out of or resulting from (i) any Claim made or asserted at any time against any Defendant or any other Released Party with respect to any Program Award Payment (or the right to receive any such Program Award Payment), by (1) any Third-Party Provider/Payor, including any Governmental Authority, such as under the MMSEA or the MSP, (2) any Person at any time holding or asserting any Lien, or (3) any Person at any time claiming by, through or under, Releasors (or the allegedly injured person or decedent covered by this Release), or (ii) the failure to properly provide the information required by Section 6.1.7 or 6.1.8.

If Plaintiffs or their Counsel receive notice of a legal proceeding in which the court requests or orders the disclosure of any confidential matter covered by this Agreement, Plaintiffs and their Counsel agree to give immediate notice to Defendants, and agree to make a motion themselves, and not to oppose any motion by Defendants, seeking a Protective Order to protect the confidentiality of such confidential matters under this Agreement.

8.1.4. Plaintiffs’ Counsel also agree not to disclose to any person, firm or organization any materials relating to Welding Fume Claims that were obtained from any Defendant or other party in a case involving Welding Fume Claims, including, but not limited to, the materials in the document depository maintained under Section X.D of the MDL Case Management Order or any materials related to the litigation of Welding Fume Claims, including work product.

8.1.5. Further, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement do not bar Plaintiffs’ Counsel, Plaintiffs, Defendants, other Reporting Parties, or any lawfully-interested party from learning the amount of any Program Award or Program Award Payment issued under the Program for the purpose of reporting the information required to be disclosed to CMS or the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services under Section 111 of the MMSEA or the MSP or to fulfill any other legal or ethical disclosure or reporting requirements.

Section 8.2. Program Claim Confidential Information

Any personal records or other personal information provided in connection with a Program Claim, and the amount of any Program Award, shall be kept confidential, shall not be provided to any other party beyond those directly associated with the claims process, shall not be utilized for any purpose other than assessing Plaintiffs’ Program Claims, and shall not be disclosed except (i) to appropriate Persons, including Reporting Parties, to the extent necessary to process Program Claims, or satisfy reporting requirements with respect to potential governmental Liens, or resolve Liens under this Agreement, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (iii) as may be required by law or ethical requirements, (iv) as may be necessary to obtain court approval where such approval is necessary, (v) as may be reasonably necessary in order to enforce, or exercise Defendants’ rights under or with respect to any Releases and Stipulations of Dismissal With Prejudice, or (vi) to the immediate family members, Counsel, accountants and/or financial advisors of such Plaintiff, if any (each of whom shall be instructed by such Plaintiff, upon such disclosure, to maintain and honor the confidentiality of such information). All Plaintiffs shall be deemed to have consented to the disclosure of these records and other information for these purposes.

Section 8.3. Litigation Materials

By signing this Agreement, Plaintiffs’ Counsel represent and warrant that, within fifteen (15) days after Defendants make the Program Funding Payment to the Plaintiffs’ Program Account, each such Plaintiffs’ Counsel will return to the attorneys for Defendants or destroy all materials relating to Welding Fume Claims that were obtained from any Defendant or other party in a case involving Welding Fume Claims resolved by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the materials in the document depository maintained under Section X.D of the MDL Case Management Order and any other materials related to the litigation of Welding Fume Claims. This includes any materials provided by any Plaintiffs’ Counsel to third parties, such as, without limitation, experts, with no copies of said materials being retained by any Plaintiff or Plaintiffs’ Counsel, or such third parties. Such third parties may either return the materials to Plaintiffs’ Counsel or certify in writing that they have destroyed them. With respect to experts, Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall make good faith best efforts to obtain the return or destruction of all materials relating to Welding Fume Claims; provided, however, that in the event of an expert’s refusal to return or destroy such materials, Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall notify Defendants in writing of the identity and address of the expert, as well as all efforts undertaken to obtain return or destruction of the materials, and provide a complete list of the materials in the possession of the expert. If any Plaintiff or Plaintiffs’ Counsel learns of any additional materials subject to this paragraph after the representation is provided, they shall promptly obtain and return them to Defendants or destroy said materials, and shall so advise Defendants in writing. Plaintiffs’ Counsel agrees to refrain from cooperating with any other plaintiffs’ counsel’s efforts to engage any experts to testify or consult in a case involving Welding Fume Claims who have consulted with Plaintiffs’ Counsel or who have testified at any depositions or trials on behalf of plaintiffs in a case involving Welding Fume Claims. The Parties agree that access to the existing online depository maintained by the court reporter of the depositions taken in the cases involving Welding Fume Claims will be limited to Defendants, their counsel and those parties authorized access by Defendants or a court. This Section 8.3 shall not apply to any client trust accounts, fee or retention agreements between a Plaintiffs’ Counsel and his client relating to the Welding Fume Claims subject to this Agreement, any legal research conducted, compiled or summarized relating to the Welding Fume Claims subject to this Agreement, any published court decisions or court orders, attorney work product or to any other documents required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement, the law or ethical requirements.

Section 8.4. Materiality

The Parties and their Counsel acknowledge that the provisions of this Article 8 are material terms of the Agreement, and these provisions are contractual in nature and not a mere recital. The failure to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or pursue remedies in respect to any breach of the Agreement shall not be considered a waiver of these provisions nor of the right to enforce them. Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel recognize that the breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement by Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs’ Counsel or any counsel associated with Plaintiffs’ Counsel could have severe and substantial legal consequences, including, but not limited to, significant monetary damages, as well as injunctive and other equitable relief.

Section 9.13. Arbitration

With respect to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, the Parties agree to attempt to resolve such disputes by discussion among the Parties. In the event that any such dispute cannot be resolved amicably through discussion, the Parties hereby agree to submit to binding arbitration pursuant to the then-effective rules of the American Arbitration Association applicable to commercial disputes. Any such arbitration shall be conducted and maintained in a confidential manner. The Parties agree that three (3) arbitrators

shall be selected. Defendants, as a group, and the PLC and PEC, as a group, each will submit a list of three (3) potential arbitrators. The other party will strike two (2) of the three (3) arbitrators, and the arbitrators remaining shall participate in the arbitration. With respect to the third arbitrator, the Association shall be asked to submit a list of five (5) potential arbitrators, and Defendants and Plaintiffs’ Counsel will have alternate strikes, two (2) per side, with the first strike being made by Defendants, until the final arbitrator is selected. The arbitration shall be conducted in Cleveland, Ohio, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Parties. Any action to enforce this paragraph shall be brought in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and the Parties expressly consent to the jurisdiction of said court, and hereby waive any objection to personal jurisdiction or venue therein. The cost of any such arbitration shall be borne equally by the Parties.

From time to time following the Execution Date, each Party shall take such reasonable actions consistent with the terms of this Agreement as may reasonably be requested by the other Party, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the other Party in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement, as may be reasonably necessary in order further to effectuate the intent and purposes of this Agreement and to carry out its terms.

RESOLUTION AGREEMENT – EXHIBIT A

PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSELS’ CLAIMS PROCESSING AND

PROGRAM FUND ALLOCATION PROTOCOL

PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSELS’ CLAIMS PROCESSING

AND PROGRAM FUND ALLOCATION PROTOCOL

This Claims Processing and Program Fund Allocation Protocol (the “Protocol”) sets forth the procedures for the processing of Program Claims developed and agreed to by Plaintiffs’ Counsel to implement the Agreement of Resolution dated as of January 18, 2012 in connection with the resolution of Welding Fume Claims (the “Agreement”).

Article 1

The Submission of Program Claims

Section 1.1. General

All Plaintiffs who timely execute and deliver or cause to be delivered valid Releases and, if applicable, Stipulations of Dismissal With Prejudice pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the Agreement become “Program Plaintiffs.” Only Program Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel are eligible to make a claim to the Program (“Program Claim”).

Section 1.2. Submission of Program Claims

1.2.1. Each Program Plaintiff will have his Program Claim submitted to the Claims Administrator by that Program Plaintiff’s Counsel, or, if the Program Plaintiff has more than one Plaintiffs’ Counsel, by the designated lead Program Plaintiffs’ Counsel for such Program Plaintiff pursuant to Section 1.2.2, or by the Program Plaintiff himself, if he is not represented by Counsel.

1.2.2. To the extent a Program Plaintiff is represented by more than one Plaintiffs’ Counsel from different law firms, such Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall designate one of their number to be the lead Program Plaintiffs’ Counsel for that Program Plaintiff and shall inform the Claims Administrator in writing with copies to the other Plaintiffs’ Counsel for that Program Plaintiff of such designation.

1.2.3. Program Claims made by any Plaintiffs’ Counsel for recoupment of the money paid in the MDL proceeding into the plaintiffs’ litigation fund administered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Law Office, P.A. (“MDL Contributions”) pursuant to Section 5.2 must be submitted by that Plaintiffs’ Counsel. Only one Program Claim for the recoupment of MDL Contributions should be submitted by a Plaintiffs’ Counsel. Nothing in this Protocol in intended to affect adversely Plaintiffs’ Counsel from recovering case-specific costs and contractually agreed attorneys’ fees from a represented Program Plaintiff.

1.2.4. For each Program Plaintiff’s Program Claim, the Claims Administrator may be provided with any relevant information concerning such Program Plaintiff’s Program Claim, which may include medical records, work history and exposure records, expert reports, and any other record or other documentation that supports such Program Claim or assists the Claims Administrator in evaluating such Program Claim.

1.2.5. The Claims Administrator may promulgate a brief Claims Form requesting a reasonable amount of information to be used to submit Program Claims and may require that information submitted as part of a Program Claim be submitted electronically or in summary fashion.

1.2.6. Each Program Plaintiff shall submit his Program Claim to the Claims Administrator no later than forty-five (45) days after Defendants make the Program Funding Payment.

1.2.7. The Claims Administrator shall require that all Claim Forms and information submitted as part of a Program Claim be submitted under penalty of perjury.

1.2.8. The Claims Administrator and his respective representatives and others deemed necessary to assist him and their representatives, will have unlimited access to all submitted Program Claims and information and documents submitted in support thereof, including medical and other records and information.

1.2.9. The Claims Administrator may require such additional information as he may determine is material and necessary for purposes of Claims Valuation (“Additional Claim Information”). In such cases, the Claims Administrator shall issue a written request for Additional Claim Information to the appropriate Program Plaintiffs’ Counsel, or if the Program Plaintiff is without Counsel, to the Program Plaintiff. However, the Claims Administrator, any Program Plaintiff, or Plaintiff’s Counsel shall not request additional records or information from Defendants.

1.2.10. A request for Additional Claim Information must be responded to within thirty (30) days of service of such request or by the deadline set by the Claims Administrator. Upon a showing of (a) a timely attempt to obtain the Additional Claim Information and (b) an inability to secure the information within the applicable deadline set by the Claims Administrator, the Claims Administrator may grant additional time to provide Additional Claim Information. Failure to provide Additional Claim Information in a timely manner may result in a determination that the Program Plaintiff is not entitled to participate further in the Program. Such a determination will not affect the validity of the Release or Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice provided by the Program Plaintiff.

1.2.11. To the extent a Program Claim is incomplete by reason of mistake, omission, or oversight, the Claims Administrator will inform the appropriate Program Plaintiffs’ Counsel or Program Plaintiff and provide the opportunity to correct the mistake, omission or oversight. Failure to respond to and correct the deficiency within the time set by the Claims Administrator may result in a determination that the Program Plaintiff is not entitled to any additional Program Award. Such a determination will not affect the validity of the Release or Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice provided by the Program Plaintiff.

1.2.12. The Claims Administrator shall establish deadlines and other procedures not inconsistent with this Protocol that are necessary for the timely, accurate, and efficient submission, review, and evaluation of Program Claims in order to keep the administrative costs of the Program to a minimum and to make Program Awards and issue Program Award Payments in as short a timeframe as is responsibly and reasonably possible.

Article 2

Program Claims Valuation and Program Awards

Section 2.1. General

2.1.1. A Program Plaintiff executing and delivering a valid Release pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Agreement shall be awarded a minimum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) from the Program Fund in consideration for such Release and, if required, a Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice (regardless of how many Program Plaintiffs executed such Release), and may be awarded an additional sum based on the evaluation of each Program Claim by the Claims Administrator. Derivative Claimants are not entitled to separate $100.00 payments.

2.1.2. An award issued by the Claims Administrator in response to a Program Claim, subject to the provisions on Liens, is a “Program Award.” All Program Awards will be based on the evaluation and the final, binding and Non-Appealable decision of the Claims Administrator. Nothing in the Agreement or this Protocol guarantees that any Program Award will exceed the $100.00 minimum payment required by the Agreement and this Section 2.1.

Section 2.2. Claim Assessment Process

2.2.1. The Claims Administrator shall review and analyze the Program Claims submitted by or on behalf of the Program Plaintiffs and those submitted by Plaintiffs’ Counsel pursuant to Section 5.2.

2.2.2. The Claims Administrator shall evaluate all Program Plaintiffs’ Program Claims based on the reasonable and objective criteria, methodologies, medical science, formulae, guidelines, categories, and other terms and conditions relevant in evaluating the Program Claims, which may include the type and extent of injury, age, age of onset, medical history, exposure history (including dates, length, and duration of such exposure to welding fumes), the type of welding consumables and fumes to which exposure occurred, other work history, the period from last exposure to welding fumes to the onset of the alleged injury, causation evidence, other risk factors present for the injuries alleged, and other criteria deemed relevant by the Claims Administrator in order to evaluate the Program Claims in a reasonably consistent manner. Following such evaluation, the Claims Administrator shall determine whether a Program Plaintiff is entitled to a Program Award above the $100 minimum payment provided for in Section 2.1.1 and, if so, determine the monetary amount of any additional Program Award pursuant to Section 3.1.1.

2.2.3. The Claims Administrator shall make Program Awards, including any additional monetary awards pursuant to Section 2.2, by awarding shares of the Program Fund and determining at some later point the monetary value of each such share following a determination of all of the Program costs and expenses and the amount of the Program Fund available to pay Program Awards. However, nothing in this Section 2.2.3 permits a reduction in the minimum payment required by Section 2.1.

2.2.4. As part of the process of evaluating Program Claims, the Claims Administrator may hire paralegal or administrative assistant(s), as needed in the discretion of the Claims Administrator. Any such hires shall be compensated by the Program Fund, at a rate which shall be approved by a majority of the PLC and PEC.

2.2.5. The determinations of the Claims Administrator in making Program Awards are final, binding and Non-Appealable.

2.2.6. No notice or payment of Program Awards to Program Plaintiffs may be issued by the Claims Administrator until the Claims Administrator has determined the Program Awards of all eligible Program Plaintiffs.

2.2.7. The Claims Administrator shall notify the Program Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel of all Program Awards in writing, which awards shall be final, binding and Non-Appealable. The Claims Administrator also will provide Defendants with the amount of the Program Award to be made to each Plaintiff and with each Plaintiff’s period of alleged exposure to welding fumes, to the best of the Claims Administrator’s information and belief, within five (5) days after completing the determination of the Program Awards.

Section 2.3. No Punitive Damages

Plaintiffs’ Counsel and Defendants agree that the amounts to be paid to each Plaintiff represents the satisfaction of that Plaintiff’s claim for compensatory damages arising from such Plaintiff’s claim for personal injury allegedly due to welding fumes. No portion of a Program Award represents the payment of punitive or exemplary damages within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Nonetheless, in consideration for the satisfaction of each Plaintiff’s personal injury claim for compensatory damages, claims for punitive and/or exemplary damages shall be released.

Article 3

Payment of Program Awards

Section 3.1. Program Award Payments

3.1.1. Promptly after the Claims Administrator determines (1) the Program costs and expenses, (2) all Program Awards and the monetary amounts to be paid pursuant to the Program Awards to Program Plaintiffs and/or Plaintiffs’ Counsel, subject to the provisions on Liens, and (3) that there are sufficient funds in the Plaintiffs’ Program Account to pay the amounts set forth in (1) and (2) above, the Claims Administrator shall cause the Program Awards to be paid from the Program Funds in the Plaintiffs’ Program Account, subject to the provisions on Liens in Article 6 of the Agreement.

3.1.1.1. No Program Award shall be paid prior to proof being provided that (i) Governmental Authority Third-Party Provider/Payor statutory Liens have been resolved, or that (ii) no such Governmental Authority statutory Lien exists with respect to such Program Plaintiff’s Program Award as set forth in the provisions on Liens in Article 6 of the Agreement, and the provisions of Section 6.1.9 of the Agreement have been met;

3.1.1.2. To the extent there is an unresolved Governmental Authority statutory Lien existing as to a Program Award, absent other resolution, either the Program Award Payment will not be issued or the Governmental Authority having such statutory Lien shall be made a co-payee on any Program Award Payment to such Program Plaintiff; and

3.1.1.3. For the purpose of paying Program Awards, a Legal Representative of a decedent, minor or incompetent is entitled to no payment until a court of competent jurisdiction approves the resolution, Release, Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice, and distribution. This provision is only applicable in jurisdictions that require court approval and only to the extent required by the law of the applicable jurisdiction. The parties specifically recognize the ability of the decedent’s heirs to contractually agree to the Release and division of funds as an alternative to judicial involvement.

3.1.2. The making of any Program Award or the payment of a Program Award shall not create any right or expectancy in favor of any other Program Plaintiff or Plaintiffs’ Counsel as to the amount, if any, of such other Program Plaintiff’s or Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s Program Award.

Section 3.2. Proportionate Reduction of Program Award Payments

If for any reason following the determination of Program Awards by the Claims Administrator, the Program Fund is unable to pay all Program Awards and the costs and estimated future costs of the Program, the amount of all Program Awards providing for a monetary payment shall be proportionately reduced sufficient to permit all such payments from the Program Fund, including by reducing the per share value of shares awarded as part of Program Awards. However, nothing in this Section 3.2 permits a reduction in the minimum payment required by Section 2.1.

Article 4

Program Administrators

Section 4.1. Claims Administrator

4.1.1. The Claims Administrator will be ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, Esq., who was selected by the PLC and PEC. His appointment shall become effective upon Defendants making the Program Funding Payment.

4.1.2. The Claims Administrator shall be compensated for his reasonable and necessary time charges incurred in the performance of the position as negotiated between

the Claims Administrator and Plaintiffs’ Counsel, the PLC and PEC. The Claims Administrator’s compensation shall be paid from the Program Fund as an Administrative Expense of the Program following the Program Funding Payment into the Plaintiffs’ Program Account. To the extent Defendants exercise their Termination Right and no Program Funding Payment is made into the Plaintiffs’ Program Account, Plaintiffs’ Counsel, on behalf of their clients, shall be responsible for the payment of any fees incurred in connection with the Program, including the reasonable fees of the Claims Administrator.

4.1.3. The PLC and PEC and the Claims Administrator may enter into a written Administrative Agreement setting forth more explicitly the terms of the Claims Administrator’s position and services to be performed, including the provision of liability insurance, with terms that are reasonable for the nature of the functions to be performed. Any Administrative Agreement shall be made available to Program Plaintiffs for inspection. The cost of such Administrative Agreement shall be paid out of the Program Funds.

4.1.4. The Claims Administrator may be terminated by the majority of the PLC and PEC for cause in the event the Claims Administrator fails to fulfill the responsibilities set forth in this Protocol or any Administrative Agreement entered into consistent with the Agreement and this Protocol.

4.1.5. The PLC and PEC, shall engage the services of a Lien Resolution Administrator, whose cost shall be paid from the Program Fund, to ensure that any Governmental Authority Third-Party Provider/Payor statutory Liens are protected and satisfied in connection with any monetary payments made pursuant to Program Awards to Program Plaintiffs.

4.1.6. If the Claims Administrator resigns, is terminated by the PLC and PEC, or fails to fulfill the duties of the Claims Administrator under this Agreement for any reason, the majority of the PLC and PEC shall choose a replacement Claims Administrator. If no such replacement Claims Administrator can be selected within thirty (30) days of the position becoming vacant for any reason, either the PLC, PEC or any Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall make an application on notice to all Plaintiffs’ Counsel to the MDL Court for the appointment of a Claims Administrator (pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act). Such person so appointed by the MDL Court shall be the Claims Administrator.

Section 4.2. Certain General Authority of the Claims Administrator

4.2.1. The Claims Administrator shall have the authority to perform all actions, to the extent not expressly prohibited by, or otherwise inconsistent with, any provision of the Agreement, deemed by the Claims Administrator to be reasonably necessary for the efficient and timely administration of the Program funded by the Agreement and established by this Protocol.

4.2.2. The Claims Administrator may create administrative procedures, supplementary to (and not inconsistent with) those specified herein or in the Agreement, that provide further specific details about how Program Claims are administered, or other aspects of the Program; provided, however, that such procedures comply with the terms of the Agreement and this Protocol.

Section 4.3. Liability of Administrative Personnel

Neither the Claims Administrator, nor any employee, agent or representative of the Claims Administrator, shall be liable to any Program Plaintiff or Plaintiffs’ Counsel for his acts or omissions, or those of any agent or employee of the Claims Administrator, in connection with the Program except, with respect to each such Person, for such Person’s own willful misconduct. Nothing in this Agreement confers on any Program Plaintiff or Program Plaintiffs’ Counsel any privity of contract with, or other right to institute any action against, the Claims Administrator or any employee, agent or employee of the Claims Administrator or the Lien Resolution Administrator.

Article 5

Attorneys’ Fees and Recoupment of MDL Contributions

Section 5.1. Individual Counsel Attorneys’ Fees

Neither any Defendant nor any other Released Parties shall have any responsibility whatsoever for the payment of Program Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees or costs. The Claims Administrator shall make all Program Award Payments to Program Plaintiffs payable in the name of the relevant Program Plaintiffs’ Counsel, subject to the provisions on Liens. However, none of the Released Parties or the Claims Administrator shall have any Liability for any failure to do so. Any division of any Program Award Payment between any Program Plaintiffs (including any with derivative claims) and their respective Counsel is to be determined by such Persons and any such division, or any dispute in relation to such division, shall in no way affect the validity of the Agreement, this Protocol, or the Release or Dismissal With Prejudice Stipulation executed by such Program Plaintiff or his Counsel, as applicable.

Section 5.2. Program Claims For MDL Contributions

5.2.1. Any Plaintiffs’ Counsel may make a Program Claim for the recoupment of MDL Contributions, even if such Plaintiffs’ Counsel does not have an Interest in Program Claims submitted by Program Plaintiffs.

5.2.2. The Claims Administrator shall determine these Program Claims with the same authority as all Program Claims. The Claims Administrator may require the submission of such records or other documentation or proof necessary for the fair and reasonable determination of the Program Claims of the Plaintiffs’ Counsel submitted pursuant to Section 5.2. Any such Program Claims by Plaintiff’s Counsel shall be submitted no later than thirty (30) days after Defendants make the Program Funding Payment.

5.2.3. Any Program Award issued pursuant to Section 5.2 will be based on the evaluation and final, binding and Non-Appealable decision of the Claims Administrator. The Claims Administrator is prohibited from considering any Program Claim for common-benefit attorneys’ fees. The Claims Administrator may make Program Award Payments to Plaintiffs’ Counsel for recoupment of MDL Contributions immediately upon the Claims Administrator’s determination of such Program Awards.

5.2.4. Under no circumstances shall the aggregate amount of all Program Awards issued by the Claims Administrator pursuant to Section 5.2 exceed one-third (1/3) of the gross Program Funds.

Article 6

Submission to Authority

Section 6.1. Submission to Authority of Claims Administrator

6.1.1. Each Plaintiffs’ Counsel by executing the Agreement, and each Plaintiff by submitting a Release pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Agreement, agrees that authority over the Program, the process contemplated by the Program and this Protocol, including any decisions with respect to Program Claims, including Program Claims for MDL Contributions, submitted under the Program, resides with the Claims Administrator appointed pursuant to this Protocol to exercise that authority, as such authority is specified in this Protocol.

6.1.2. In making decisions concerning Program Awards to be made or in causing the payment of Program Awards from the Plaintiffs’ Program Account, except with respect to the payment of Governmental Authority Third-Party Provider/Payor statutory Liens, it is expressly agreed that the Claims Administrator’s decisions shall be final, binding and Non-Appealable in the same manner and extent as the awards of binding arbitrators under the Federal Arbitration Act.

6.1.3. If the Claims Administrator concludes that he should not determine an issue arising under this Protocol or otherwise in connection with the Protocol or any Program Claim, including any Program Claim for MDL Contributions, the Claims Administrator shall appoint a Neutral, free of any conflicts of interest in the matter at issue, to sit as a substitute claims administrator to decide the matter or issue referred and whose decision shall be final, binding and Non-Appealable. However, any prior decisions of the Claims Administrator on analogous issues referred to the Neutral shall be binding precedent upon the Neutral.

6.1.4. If the Claims Administrator or Neutral is, under applicable law or ethical requirements, precluded from determining a matter or issue otherwise to be determined by the Claims’ Administrator or Neutral, the Claims Administrator shall request that the President of the Bar Association of the City of Cleveland appoint a substitute arbitrator to decide that matter or issue in the same manner required of the Neutral. Once so appointed, that person shall act as the Neutral for the matter or issue so referred.

Article 7

Quality Control and Audit Procedures

Section 7.1. Prevention and Detection of Fraud—General

7.1.1. The Claims Administrator shall have the authority and obligation to institute claim-auditing procedures and other procedures designed to detect and prevent the payment of fraudulent Program Claims.

7.1.2. In cases of inconsistency, suspicion of irregularity, or similarly appropriate circumstances, the Claims Administrator may review and analyze other documents or materials to which the Claims Administrator has access.

7.1.3. The Claims Administrator shall notify Plaintiffs’ Counsel, the PLC and PEC, and any implicated Program Plaintiff and his Counsel, of any indicia of deception, dishonesty or fraud of which it becomes aware relating to any Program Claim or in any way to the Program. The Claims Administrator may also notify the appropriate legal authorities as well.

7.1.4. No Program Award may be paid in respect of a Program Claim while that Claim is the subject of an audit by the Claims Administrator or under further investigation by the Claims Administrator or any law enforcement authority.

Section 7.2. Program Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s Audit Right

7.2.1. The PLC, PEC, and any Plaintiffs’ Counsel who submits a Program Claim shall each have the right and discretion, at their own expense, to have an independent audit of the Program conducted to verify (i) Program Claims submitted by any Program Plaintiff or any Plaintiffs’ Counsel, (ii) the administrative costs and expenses of the Program, and (iii) the Program Funds and Plaintiffs’ Program Account. The Claims Administrator shall fully cooperate with any such audits.

7.2.2. The PLC, PEC, and any Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall notify the Claims Administrator of any audit to be conducted pursuant to Section 7.2.1 and which Program Claims (if any in particular) are to be audited.

7.2.3. If following completion of an audit, the PLC, PEC, or any Plaintiffs’ Counsel is of the view that any indicia of deception, dishonesty or fraud relating to Program Claims or in any way to the Program exist, the PLC, PEC, or any Plaintiffs’ Counsel, shall bring such matter to the attention of the Claims Administrator for possible action or may proceed directly to report such matter to the proper law enforcement authorities.

Section 7.3. Inaccuracy of Representations, Warranties or Certifications

Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, in the event that any representation, warranty, certification or covenant made in any Program Claim is inaccurate or breached in any material respect (and such inaccuracy or breach is not cured within ten (10)

days of notice thereof by the Claims Administrator) or such Program Claim is determined by the Claims Administrator to have been fraudulent, such Program Plaintiff immediately shall cease to have any further rights under the Program to be considered to receive a Program Award; however, any Release or Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice provided by such Program Plaintiff shall remain valid and enforceable.

Section 7.4. No Misrepresentation of Program

Each Program Plaintiffs’ Counsel hereby covenants not to make any misrepresentation to any Plaintiff or any other person with respect to (i) this Protocol, (ii) the Program, (iii) the Agreement, or (iv) any guarantee of receiving a Program Award or payment pursuant to the Program, as no such guarantee of a monetary award exists under the terms of this Protocol or the Agreement, except for the minimum $100.00 payment set forth in Section 2.1.1.

Section 7.5. Program Claim Confidential Information

Any personal records or other personal information provided in connection with a Program Claim, and the amount of any Program Award, shall be kept confidential by the Parties and the Claims Administrator, Lien Resolution Administrator, and any Claims Evaluator and, in the case of a Program Award, such Program Plaintiff and his Counsel, and shall not be disclosed except (i) to appropriate Persons to the extent necessary to process Program Claims or provide Program Award Payments, if any, or satisfy reporting requirements with respect to potential governmental Liens, or resolve Liens under the Agreement and this Protocol, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement and this Protocol, (iii) as may be required by law or ethical requirements, (iv) as may be necessary to obtain court approval where such approval is necessary, (iv) as may be reasonably necessary to enforce, or exercise Defendants’ rights under or with respect to any Releases and Stipulations of Dismissal With Prejudice, or (v) to other Plaintiffs or immediate family members, Counsel, accountants or financial advisors of such Program Plaintiff, if any (each of whom shall be instructed by such Program Plaintiff, upon such disclosure, to maintain and honor the confidentiality of such information). All Program Plaintiffs shall be deemed to have consented to the disclosure of these records and other information for these purposes.

I understand that terms substantially in the form of Plaintiffs’ Counsels’ Claims Processing and Program Fund Allocation Protocol (the “Protocol”), which is Exhibit A to the Agreement, shall govern the amount of compensation, if any, beyond the $100.00 payment referenced in Paragraph 2 above that I may receive from the Program. I further understand that, in order to participate in the Program under the Protocol, I am required to submit a release of any and all claims that I and the other Releasing Parties (as defined under “Release”) have, or may have in the future against the Released Parties (as defined under “Release”) arising from, related to, or in any way connected with allegations of injury and/or death due to exposure to welding fumes. I acknowledge receipt of both the Agreement and Protocol prior to my execution of this Release.

Accordingly, in consideration of Defendants’ agreement to fund the Program, including receipt of a minimum payment of $100.00 per release for the valid execution and delivery of this Release by all Plaintiffs, the opportunity to submit materials in connection with my claim to the Program, and the possibility that I may receive an additional monetary award from the Program, I hereby give and make the following releases, waivers, acknowledgements and agreements for the benefit of the Released Parties (this “Release”).

By signing this Release, both I and any such Derivative Claimant agree to be bound by the Agreement and Protocol and the decisions of the Claims Administrator under the Program and understand and acknowledge that there is no assurance as to the additional amount of payment, if any, to be made to me or to any claimant under the Program above the minimum payment described above, and this fact shall in no way affect the validity or effect of this Release or any Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice provided by me or on my behalf.

Release

In return for the payment of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) and other good and valuable consideration, including the funding of the Program under the Agreement in which I am allowed to participate, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, I do hereby on my own behalf and on behalf of each other Releasing Party, knowingly and voluntarily RELEASE, REMISE, ACQUIT and FOREVER DISCHARGE the Released Parties from (i) any and all claims, rights, remedies, actions, demands, causes of action, suits at law or in equity, based on common law, regulations or statutes (including any applicable wrongful death statute), suits of judgments and/or Liens (as defined under “Liens and Other Third-Party Payor Claims”), of any kind whatsoever, known or unknown, past, present or future that in any way arise out of (a) any injuries, death, losses and/or damages, which are, or may be, in any way connected with exposure to welding fumes, except for any injuries, death, losses and/or damages, which are, or may be, in any way connected with exposure to asbestos, which claims, demands and causes of action are expressly reserved, (b) claims relating to the availability of future Medicare-covered expenses, and any private cause of action I or any other Releasing Party may have under 42 U.S.C. 1395y(b)(3)(A), and (c) claims arising from or related to the Program, the Protocol, and the decisions of the Claims Administrator under the Program (“Claims”), which I or any other Releasing Party may have ever had, may now have or at any time hereafter may have against any Released Party, and/or (ii) any and all debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants, promises, contracts, agreements and/or obligations, of any kind whatsoever, which are, or may be, in any way connected with exposure to welding fumes, except for any injuries, death, losses and/or damages, which are, or may be, in any way connected with exposure to asbestos, which are expressly reserved (“Liabilities”), which any Released Party may have ever had, may now have or at any time hereafter may have to me or any other Releasing Party. These Claims and Liabilities are the “Released Claims and Liabilities.” In addition to the asbestos-related claims of the Releasing Parties reserved in clause (i)(a)

above, the Released Claims and Liabilities also do not include claims by a spouse or child of Releasor (or, if Releasor is a legal representative of a person who was allegedly injured or died as a result of exposure to welding fumes, such allegedly injured of deceased person), for claims that the spouse or child might have now or in the future related to their personal exposure welding fumes, which claims, demands or causes of action are also expressly reserved. This Release is irrevocable by me upon my execution as of the date set forth beneath my name, but shall become effective upon Defendants making the Program Funding Payment set forth in Section 3.2.1 of the Agreement.

The term “Released Party” or “Released Parties” means (i) each Defendant, (ii) any other defendants currently or formerly named in any litigation I have brought as a result of a Welding Fume Claim, and (iii) any past or present manufacturers, suppliers of materials, distributors, wholesalers, rebranders or other persons involved in the design, manufacture, formulation, testing, distribution, marketing, labeling, advertising and/or sale, of any of the welding products that I (or the injured person of my claim) allegedly used or to which I (or the injured person of my claim) was allegedly exposed, (iv) for each entity or person referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph, its respective past, present, and/or future parents, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, joint venturers, predecessors, successors, assigns, and transferees and its respective past, present and/or future shareholders (or the equivalent thereto), directors (or the equivalent thereto), officers (or the equivalent thereto), owners, managers, principals, employees, consultants, advisors, attorneys, agents, servants, representatives, heirs, trustees, executors, estate administrators, and the personal representatives (or the equivalent thereto), and (v) the respective insurers of all such entities or persons referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (vi), to the extent of their capacity as the insurer of such entities or persons.

The term “Releasing Party” or “Releasing Parties” means (i) me and (ii) any and all persons who have sued one or more Defendants or any other Released Party, independently, derivatively or otherwise, by reason of their relationship with or to me (“Derivative Claimants”). .

I acknowledge that I (and/or any other Releasing Party) may in the future learn of additional or different facts as they relate to the Claims or Liabilities, the Released Parties’ activities, and/or any injury I (and/or any other Releasing Party) have ever claimed, or may at any time in the future claim, was caused, in whole or in part, by exposure to welding fumes. I understand and acknowledge the significance and consequences of releasing all of the Released Claims and Liabilities and hereby (on my own behalf and on behalf of each other Releasing Party) assume full risk and responsibility for any and all such additional and/or different facts and any and all Released Claims and Liabilities that I (and/or any other Releasing Party) may hereinafter incur or discover. To the extent that any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, case or other legal provision or authority, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, (each, a “Law”) may at any time purport to preserve my and/or any other Releasing Party’s right to hereinafter assert any such unknown and/or unanticipated Claims and/or Liabilities, I hereby (on my own behalf and on behalf

of each other Releasing Party) specifically and expressly waive (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law) each Releasing Party’s rights under such Law. I further acknowledge having had an opportunity to obtain advice of counsel of my choosing regarding this waiver, and having discussed it with such counsel to my satisfaction.

On my own behalf and on behalf of each other Releasing Party, I acknowledge and agree that the releases set forth in this Release are irrevocable and unconditional, inure to the benefit of each Released Party, and are intended to be as broad as can possibly be created so that Defendants and other Released Parties shall never be called upon to pay any further sums or expenses or be liable, directly or indirectly, to Releasing Parties, or any of them, or to any person, firm or entity claiming by, through, under, the Releasing Parties, or any of them, for the Released Claims and Liabilities, or to any person or entity seeking contribution and/or indemnity from the Released Parties, or any of them, by reason of any legal actions brought against them by me or other Releasing Parties pertaining in any way to, or arising from, the Released Claims and Liabilities.

I understand that the Released Parties are not responsible for any attorneys’ fees, costs (including, but not limited to, court costs), ad litem fees, or expenses that I or my Counsel have incurred or may at any time incur, including, but not limited to, in connection with the entering into this Release and having my pending lawsuit dismissed. I understand that, with respect to any payment that may be made to me under the Program (a “Program Award Payment”), including the guaranteed minimum payment of $100.00, subject to Liens, any division of such Program Award Payment between me, any Derivative Claimant executing this Release and our respective Counsel (if any) executing a Certification of Counsel attached to this Release shall be determined by me and such other person(s), and such division, or any dispute in relation to such division, shall in no way affect the validity of this Release or any Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice provided to dismiss my pending lawsuit, if applicable.

Covenant Not To Pursue Certain Claims

10.

I hereby agree and covenant that I will never (i) take any legal, or other action to initiate, pursue or maintain, or otherwise attempt to execute upon, collect or otherwise enforce, any of the Released Claims and Liabilities of or against any Released Party, (ii) institute or participate in any new legal action against any Released Party relating to any injury I (and/or any other Releasing Party) have ever claimed, or may at any time hereafter claim, were caused in whole or in part by exposure to welding fumes, or (iii) attempt to execute or collect on, or otherwise enforce, any judgment that may be entered against any Released Party in any legal action described in clause (ii) or my pending legal action against one or more Defendants. I further agree and covenant that I will not take any legal or other action to initiate, pursue or maintain a claim against the Claims Administrator, nor any employee, agent or representative of the Claims Administrator, in connection with the Program, except, with respect to each such Person, or such Person’s own willful misconduct.

11.

It is further agreed and understood that the pending claim or cause of action brought by me or on my behalf as described above shall be concluded by entry of a dismissal with prejudice with my consent and the consent of all Releasing Parties in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

Liens and Other Third-Party Payor Claims

12.

I agree that before any Program Award Payment is made to me, I shall identify to Defendants, my counsel, and to the Lien Resolution Administrator for the Program all Governmental Authorities that are Third-Party Providers/Payors (as defined below) known to me to hold or assert any lien, pledge, charge, security interest, assignment, encumbrance, subrogation right, third-party interest or other adverse claim of any nature whatsoever (“Lien”) pursuant to any applicable statute with respect to any Program Award Payment (and/or the right to receive such Program Award Payment), through procedures and protocols to be established by the Lien Resolution Administrator, subject to approval by the Claims Administrator for the Program under the terms of the Protocol. I also agree that before any Program Award is made to me, I shall provide the information required under Section 6.1.7 or 6.1.8 of the Agreement, if applicable.

13.

Releasing Parties acknowledge that Plaintiff’s Counsel and the Lien Resolution Administrator will determine whether Releasing Parties are Medicare beneficiaries or Medicare eligible at the time of resolution and will provide the result of this determination to Defendants and their insurers in writing. Releasing Parties understand and acknowledge that if Releasing Parties are Medicare-enrolled at the time of resolution, the Defendants and their insurers may be required to report this resolution to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) but further acknowledges that by doing so, the Defendants and their insurers do not concede or admit that the Defendants are liable for Releasing Parties’ alleged injuries. Releasing Parties agree to provide the Defendants and their insurers with their full name, gender, date of birth, address, Social Security Number (“SSN”) and Health Insurance Claim Number (“HICN”), if applicable, for the purpose of determining whether either is a Medicare beneficiary or Medicare eligible.

Releasing Parties also agree to indicate on this Release if they are, or ever were enrolled in Medicare. Releasing Parties also agree that Released Parties may use any personal or protected information (e.g., social security number, date of birth, protected health or medical information, etc.) to meet any reporting requirements Defendants owe to CMS or its contractors arising out of this claim, and Releasing Parties agree to cooperate with Defendants, their insurers and the Lien Resolution Administrator to provide such information or to perform other activities reasonably necessary to meet any Medicare reporting requirements. At the time of this Agreement, the data to be provided by Plaintiff’s counsel or the Lien Resolution Administrator on Releasing Parties’ behalf to be reported to CMS for MMSEA Section 111 purposes is understood to include, but not necessarily be limited to, the information in Form 1 to the Agreement. Releasing Parties have been advised and fully understand that, in addition to the Defendants and their insurers reporting of this settlement to CMS, should Plaintiff be identified as a Medicare beneficiary or Medicare eligible, the details of this settlement will be reported to Medicare or CMS by Plaintiff’s Counsel or the Lien Resolution Administrator.

14.

I understand and acknowledge that satisfaction and discharge of any and all Liens with respect to any Program Award Payment (and/or the right to receive any Program Award Payment) is the sole responsibility of me, any Derivative Claimant executing this Release. Such satisfaction and discharge must, in relation to all Governmental Authorities that are Third-Party Providers/Payors who hold or assert any Liens pursuant to any applicable statute be established to the satisfaction of the Claims Administrator and Lien Resolution Administrator before any Program Award Payment can be disbursed to me.

15.

Prior to any Program Award Payment being made to me, I shall, jointly and severally with any Derivative Claimant executing this Release, represent and warrant that any and all Liens with respect to any and all Program Award Payments (and/or the right to receive any and all Program Award Payments) have been satisfied and discharged. Furthermore, the Claims Administrator and Defendants shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive from me, proof of satisfaction and discharge of any or all such Liens pursuant to any applicable statute or regulation in relation to all Governmental Authorities that are Third-Party Providers/Payors, including, but not limited to, Liens under the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (“MMSEA”) or the Medicare Secondary Payer Act (“MSP”).

16.

In addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, I hereby agree, jointly and severally with any Derivative Claimant executing this Release to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties, up to the amount of the Program Award Payment made to me, from and against any and all damages, losses, costs (including, but not limited to, court costs), expenses (including legal fees and expenses), fines, penalties or Liabilities incurred or suffered by, or imposed on, Defendants, or any of them, or any other Released Party in connection with, arising out of or resulting from (i) any Claim made or asserted at any time against Defendants, or any of them, or any other Released Party with respect to any Program Award Payment made to me (or the right to receive any such Program Award Payment), by (1) any Third-Party Provider/Payor, (2) any Person at any time holding or asserting any Lien, and/or (3) any Person at any time claiming by, through or under, Releasors (and/or the allegedly injured person or decedent covered by this Release), or (ii) the failure to properly provide the information required by Section 6.1.7 or 6.1.8 of the Agreement.

17.

I further understand and acknowledge that Released Parties may have a legal obligation under Section 111 of the MMSEA to report the amount of payments, if any, made to me by the Program to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (the “Secretary”) or CMS. I and all Releasing Parties, and the undersigned attorneys, also acknowledge that Released Parties may be required under Section 111 of the MMSEA to identify the nature of my illness or injury at issue, as well as other information about me and my claim as specified by the Secretary to enable an appropriate determination concerning coordination of Medicare benefits, including any applicable recovery claim.

18.

I, on behalf of myself and all Releasing Parties and our counsel, agree to cooperate fully with the Released Parties, the Claim Administrator, and the Lien Resolution Administrator, and their Counsel and agents, by executing any and all documents and providing such additional information as may be required by or on behalf of the Released Parties to comply with the mandatory Medicare reporting requirements of Section 111 of the MMSEA.

19.

I further understand that with respect to a payment issued by the Program to me and other Releasing Parties, it may be required that any such payment, in whole or in part, be made to Medicare or other Third-Party Provider/Payors in satisfaction of any Liens.

Indemnification for Released Claims and Liabilities

20.

I hereby agree, jointly and severally with any Derivative Claimant executing this Release, to INDEMNIFY and HOLD HARMLESS each Released Party, up to the amount of my Program Award Payment, from and against: (i) any and all Claims that may be asserted, made or maintained at any time against any Released Party by, on behalf of or for the benefit of, any Releasing Party with respect to any of the Released Claims and Liabilities; (ii) any and all damages, losses, costs (including, but not limited to, court costs), expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses) and/or Liabilities incurred or suffered by, or imposed on, any Released Party in connection with, arising out of or resulting from any Claim described in clause (i) of this sentence (including, but not limited to, any amount paid or to be paid in satisfaction of any such Claim) and/or, without limitation of the foregoing, any breach by me, my representatives or Counsel (or any Derivative Claimant, her representatives or Counsel executing this Release) of any of the terms of this Release; and (iii) any private cause of action provided for in 42 U.S.C. 1395y(b)(3)(A) of the MSP, should Medicare deny coverage for any reason, including, but not limited to, the failure to allocate adequate money for future Medicare-covered medical expenses in this Release.

21.

Without limitation of the foregoing Paragraph 20, I further agree, jointly and severally with any Derivative Claimant executing this Release, to INDEMNIFY and HOLD HARMLESS the Released Parties, up to the amount of my Program Award Payment, from and against (i) any and all Claims made or asserted (prior to, on or after the date of this Release), including claims for contribution and/or indemnity, by any other person or entity against any Released Party arising out of any Claim made or asserted at any time by me and/or any other Releasing Party to any extent, or in any way, arising out of, relating to, resulting from any injury I (and/or any other Releasing Party) have ever claimed, or may at any time hereafter claim was caused, in whole or in part, by exposure to welding fumes, and (ii) any and all damages, losses, costs, expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses) and/or Liabilities incurred or suffered by, or imposed on, any Released Party in connection with, arising out of or resulting from any Claim described in clause (i) of this sentence (including, but not limited to, any amount paid or to be paid in satisfaction of any such Claim).

22.

Further, to the extent necessary under law to give effect to the preceding Paragraph 21 above and/or extinguish claims for contribution or indemnity against any Released Party for the Released Claims and Liabilities, or to satisfy such indemnity obligation that arises due to a contribution or indemnity claim by a third party, I further agree, jointly and severally with any Derivative Claimant executing this Release, (i) to reduce any judgment Releasing Parties might recover against any individual or entity other than a Released Party by release and discharge in an amount, fraction, portion, or percentage necessary under applicable state or federal law to bar, eliminate, or satisfy claims against the Released Parties for contribution and/or indemnity to the fullest extent permitted by applicable state or federal law arising from any Claims or Liabilities hereby released, including any amount re-allocated by applicable state or federal statute or common law to Released Parties resulting from uncollectibility and/or insolvency of other individuals or entities determined to be at fault, as well as (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless any Released Parties in accordance with the preceding Paragraph 21 above as may still be necessary after having performed clause (i) above of this Paragraph 22. Releasing Parties shall execute any additional documentation that may be required under applicable state or federal law in order to give effect to this provision.

Confidentiality

23.

I agree to maintain in confidence, and shall not disclose to any person or entity, the amount of any Program Award Payment, if any, except as may be required by applicable Law; provided, that I understand that I may disclose such information to other Plaintiffs, my immediate family members, and to my Counsel, accountants and financial advisors, if any (each of whom I shall, upon such disclosure, instruct to maintain and honor the confidentiality of such information), or in connection with the reporting to governmental authorities and others in connection with the resolution of any governmental or private third-party liens. I agree that if I breach this confidentiality provision, money damages would not be a sufficient remedy and, accordingly, without limitation of any other remedies that may be available at law or in equity, one or more Defendants shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as remedies for such breach.

Acknowledgement of Comprehension; No Guarantee

of Additional Payment Beyond Minimum Payment

Waiver of Certain Provisions Regarding Timing of Any Payments

No Admission of Fault
