ORDER GRANTING STIPULATED 

MOTION TO ESTABLISH CLAIM 

PROCEDURE AND TO APPROVE 

CLAIM FORM 

This matter is before the Court on the Stipulated Motion of the Receiver to Establish 

Claims Procedure Plan and To Approve Claim Form. Having considered the Motion, the Court 

finds that it should be granted. Accordingly, 

IT IS ORDERED that the claims procedure plan proposed by the Receiver is approved. 

Specifically: 

 1. An Official Claim Form in the format of Exhibit “A” attached to the Receiver’s 

motion will be sent to any and all persons or entities believed to be an investor with any of the 

corporate defendants at such time as those persons or entities are identified by the Receiver; 

 2. An Official Claim Form in the format of Exhibit “B” attached to the Receiver’s 

motion will be sent to any and all potential claimants who are not believed to be an investor (i.e., 

trade vendors) at such time as those potential claimants are identified by the Receiver;

 3. A cover letter in the format of Exhibit “C” attached to the Receiver’s motion will 

be sent along with each Claim Form; 

 4. The Claim Form must be returned to the Receiver within sixty (60) days after the 

claim form is mailed to the potential claimant. Claim forms not timely returned may be grounds 

to disallow the claim; 

 5. As a Claim Form is received, it will be assigned a sequential claim number to be 

used to identify the claim during further proceedings before this Court; 

 6. As a Claim Form is received, a post card in the form of Exhibit “D” attached to 

the Receiver’s motion will be sent to each claimant; 

 7. Quarterly, beginning January 1, 2008, the Receiver will file a motion to allow 

claims which have been reviewed and verified by the Receiver during the preceding quarter to 

which the Receiver does not object or which he has resolved by agreement. If no objection to 

the proposed allowed claim(s) is lodged within thirty (30) days after the filing of the motion, the 

Court will enter an order that the particular claim(s) be allowed; 

 8. As a sufficient number are identified, the Receiver will also file a motion to 

disallow claims which have been reviewed by the Receiver to which the Receiver objects and a 

hearing to consider those disputed claims will be set at such time as the Court directs; 

 9. The allowance of a claim(s) will not, in and of itself, establish any priority as to 

ultimate payment of the claim. Rather, priority of payment will be established by future order of 

the Court. 

 SO ORDERED this 26th day of October, 2007.
