Under no circumstances shall any Releasor receive more than 100% of the total amount of fines it paid for its Code 45 tickets during the Class Period. The Parties shall jointly determine a final list of Class Members, number of tickets, and fines paid. In the event the Parties cannot agree on a final list the issue will be submitted to the Court for resolution. 32. If any funds remain in the Net Settlement Fund after every participating Class Member is issued 100% of the amount to which it is entitled under this Agreement, then the remainder of the Net Settlement Fund shall revert to Defendants. 33. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable the Claims Administrator to commence payment within 30 days of the Effective Date, and such payment will be made to the Class Members as listed in the data agreed to by the Parties, as described in Paragraph 34 below. Any outstanding unpaid fine associated with a subject Code 45 ticket owed by any Releasor shall be voided by Defendants. The Claims Administrator shall provide to the 8

Parties an accounting of all payees, the amounts each received under this Agreement, and any undeposited or uncashed checks, within 120 days after the first payment issued pursuant to Paragraph 31 herein. If the value of the undeposited and uncashed checks exceeds $50,000, the Claims Administrator shall distribute any such amount pro rata in a second payment to the Class Members who timely deposited or cashed their checks. This second payment shall be made only to the extent such second distribution, together with the first distribution, brings any Class Member up to 100% of the amount to which it is entitled under this Agreement. If the value of the undeposited and uncashed checks does not equal or exceed $50,000, any such amount will revert to Defendants. Any uncashed checks or remaining funds after the second distribution shall revert to Defendants ninety (90) days after the date of the second distribution, and shall be paid to Defendants within 10 days thereafter. 34. Within thirty (30) business days, or as soon as practicable thereafter, of Preliminary Approval of the Settlement Agreement, Defendants will provide the Claims Administrator, in a readily usable format, data sufficient to show for each Class Member the total dollar amount of all fines paid during the Class Period for Traffic Lane Violations under the Stipulated Fine Program. Errors or omissions may be corrected if necessary. 35. Defendants shall not have any responsibility, financial obligation, or liability whatsoever with respect to the investment, distribution, use, or administration of the Settlement Fund, including without limitation the costs and expenses of such investment, distribution, use or administration except as expressly otherwise provided in this Settlement Agreement. Any tax filings relating to the Settlement Fund will be made by the Claims Administrator, unless the Settlement Fund is returned to Defendants. 9

C. Right of Termination or Rescission 36. Defendants will have the right but not the obligation to terminate or rescind the Settlement Agreement if the fines paid during the Class Period by timely and valid Opt-Outs exceed forty one (41%) of total fines paid for Traffic Lane violations indicated as Code 45 on the face of the ticket issued during the Class Period. If the 41% threshold is exceeded and defendants intend to terminate or rescind the Settlement Agreement, they will provide Class Counsel with ten (10) business days notice of their intent. At the end of the ten (10) day period Defendants will confirm in writing their final decision either to proceed with the Settlement Agreement or to terminate or rescind the Settlement Agreement. Prior to confirming their final decision, defendants will conduct a second calculation of Opt-Outs to confirm that the threshold has been met. Such termination or rescission shall be effective upon written notice to the Court and to Class counsel accompanied by documentation reflecting the percentage of tickets issued to the Opt-Outs and must be made no later than 20 days after the Opt-Out Period ends. D. Application for Approval 37. All Parties agree to use their best efforts to effectuate this Agreement, including cooperating in seeking Final Approval of the Settlement and reaching the Effective Date. 38. Within eleven (11) calendar days of the execution of this Agreement by all Parties, and in any event no later than February 19, 2016, Plaintiff shall submit to the Court a motion requesting that the Court enter a Preliminary Approval Order substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

EXHIBIT C

NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT February, 2016 PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE CAREFULLY This Notice is to inform you of a proposed Settlement of a class action lawsuit against the City of New York ( City ), acting through the Traffic Control Division of the New York City Police Department and the New York City Department of Finance; Stephen Goldsmith; David M. Frankel; James Tuller; Harry J. Wedin; and John and Jane Does 1-10 (collectively, Defendants ). This lawsuit concerns the ticketing for Traffic Lane violations (denoted as Code 45 on tickets) by New York City Traffic Enforcement Agents ( TEAs ) from June 1, 2006 until October 31, 2010, of commercial vehicles that participated in the City s Stipulated Fine Program. This is not a lawsuit against you. You have not been sued. You are being sent this Notice because you may be eligible to receive a refund. What is this about? In July 2004, the City launched the Stipulated Fine Program to address the volume of parking tickets issued to commercial delivery and service vehicles in the City and the enormous demand on the time and resources of the City and the owners/operators of those vehicles. Participants in the Stipulated Fine Program agreed to pay fines set by the City and agreed to forego hearings and appeals for certain charges. This lawsuit alleges that, from May 2006 through October 1, 2010, the City issued unlawful Traffic Lane violation tickets (Code 45) to participants in the City s Stipulated Fine Program, which, under the Stipulated Fine Program, require the participants to pay $40, instead of Double Parking tickets (Code 46), which, under the Stipulated Fine Program, do not require the participants to pay anything. Plaintiff alleges that, in doing so, Defendants acted in violation of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I 6-7 of the New York State Constitution. Defendants deny these allegations, deny that their actions were in any way improper or illegal, and will defend the lawsuit if the Court does not approve the Settlement. Defendants have agreed, nevertheless, to settle this lawsuit to avoid the risk and uncertainty inherent in litigation. The lawsuit is called Lockman, Inc. v. City of N.Y., et al., 11 Civ. 1836 (NGG)(MG), previously captioned NYTDA, Inc. v. City of N.Y., et al. It was filed in 2011 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Who is in the Class? The Class includes all persons or entities who owned and/or operated New York Stateregistered commercial vehicles and, during the period June 1, 2006 through October 31,

2010 ( Class Period ), participated in the City s Stipulated Fine Program, and during the Class Period received a ticket for a Traffic Lane violation indicated as Code 45 on the face of the ticket, and paid the associated $40 fine at any point up until February 8, 2016. What benefits are available under the settlement? In settlement of all claims alleged in the lawsuit, including fees and costs, Defendants have agreed to pay $14,000,000 (fourteen million dollars) into a fund ( Settlement Fund ). The Settlement Fund will be paid to Class members after the deduction from the Settlement Fund of claims administration and notice costs; any Court-approved service award to Lockman, Inc.; and any Court-approved attorneys fees and expenses (the Net Settlement Fund ). The claims administrator, Kurtzman Carson Consultants ( KCC ) will administer the settlement and send the settlement checks to Class members 30 days after the effective date of the settlement. The Net Settlement Fund will be divided pro rata among members of the Class who do not opt out of the Settlement. Payment from the Net Settlement Fund will be based on the number of Traffic Lane tickets (indicated as Code 45 on the face of the tickets and issued by TEAs), during the Class Period and paid by the Class member at any time up to February 8, 2016. Each Class member s pro rata share will be determined by reference to the records of the New York City Department of Finance, and will be calculated as a percentage of all Code 45 fines paid by all Class members. Checks to Class members will be valid for 120 days from the date they are issued. If they are not deposited or cashed within 120 days from this date, such checks will be voided, and if the funds remaining exceed $50,000, they will be redistributed pro rata to the Class members who deposited or cashed their initial checks. If the remaining funds from the first distribution do not exceed $50,000, they will be returned to the Defendants. If any checks from this second distribution are not deposited or cashed within 90 days, any remaining funds (which the parties estimate will be minimal) will be returned to Defendants. No class member will receive more than 100% of the fines it paid for such tickets. Traffic Lane tickets that were issued during the Class Period but for which no $40 fine was paid will not be eligible for any payment but the obligation to pay will be voided. The amount of damages that could be awarded at trial depends in part on the length of the Class Period adopted by the Court. Plaintiff estimates that if the Class prevailed at trial, a damage award would range from $15 million to $23 million depending on the Class Period. Defendants have taken the position that the Class Period should run from April 14, 2008 until October 31, 2010 ( shorter period ). Plaintiff believes the Class Period should run from June 1, 2006 until October 31, 2010 ( longer period ). The Class Period, for purposes of this settlement, is the longer period. 2

What are your options moving forward? 1. Remain in the Class and Receive a Refund You do not need to do anything if you wish to remain in the Class. If you remain in the Class and the settlement is approved by the Court, you will receive your share of the settlement proceeds as described above. 2.
