CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION, ALLOCATION, AND DISTRIBUTION OF NET SETTLEMENT FUND Clause Samples

The "Claims Administration, Allocation, and Distribution of Net Settlement Fund" clause outlines the procedures for managing, reviewing, and distributing settlement funds to eligible claimants in a legal settlement. It typically details how claims are submitted and evaluated, the criteria for determining eligibility, and the method for dividing the net settlement fund among approved claimants.

CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION, ALLOCATION, AND DISTRIBUTION OF NET SETTLEMENT FUND. 6.1. The Allocation Methodology is a matter separate and apart from the proposed Set- tlement between Plaintiff and Defendant and is to be considered by the Court separately from the Court’s consideration of the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of this Settlement. Provided that none of the terms of the Settlement are modified by such decision, any decision by the Court concerning the Allocation Methodology shall not affect the validity or finality of the Settlement or operate to terminate or cancel this Settlement or affect the finality of the Judgment. Further, after the issuance of any notice contemplated by this Settlement Agreement or ordered by the Court, the Allocation Methodology may be modified without any further notice being required, provided the modification is approved by the Court. 6.2.

This de minimis threshold is set in order to preserve the overall Net Settlement Fund from the costs of claims that are likely to exceed the value of those claims. It has been determined by Plaintiff’s Counsel that $5.00 is a reasonable de minimis threshold. A Class Member that falls into this category may request to be excluded from this Liti- gation as described in this Settlement Agreement or otherwise will be bound by the Settlement Agreement and all provisions thereof despite receiving no payment under the Final Plan of Allo- cation. In the event the Court declines to approve the $5.00 de minimis payment provision con- tained in this paragraph, such refusal will not be grounds to disturb or terminate the Settlement Agreement by any Party; instead, Plaintiff’s Counsel will submit an alternative plan of allocation that does not include the $5.00 d...

The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof. (d) Funds held in a Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of such Collection Account until the Servicer Remittance Date when such amounts are required to be deposited into the Distribution Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event that the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
