YOUR OPTIONS |
DO NOTHING | If the Court approves the Settlement and you are a Class Member, you will receive your pro rata payment for the paid Shortfall Recovery Amounts for the Water Sales Test Periods to reimburse portions paid for the Shortfall Recovery Amounts pursuant to the terms of the Settlement. These pro rata payments under the Settlement are for up to 15% of the Shortfall Recovery Amount paid, not to exceed $300,000 aggregate for the Settlement Class for any Water Sales Test Period. These payments under the Settlement shall continue approximately every three years until it is exhausted or the Lease has expired, whichever comes first. |
OPT-OUT | If you do not want to be a member of the Settlement Class and receive payment, and wish to pursue an individual separate lawsuit over the issues in the Action, then you must take affirmative steps to exclude yourself this Settlement and the Settlement Class. This process is referred to as "opting-out" of the Settlement Class. |
OBJECT | If you are a Class Member, you can submit written notice of objection to the Court in support of, or in opposition to, the Settlement or any of its terms. A written statement in opposition to the Settlement is called an "objection." |
