I.       Items of Compensation

         A.       Life Care Items

         The respondent engaged life care planner, Laura Fox, MSN, BSN, RN, CLCP, to provide

an estimation of Dov Fisch's future vaccine-injury related needs. For the purposes of this

proffer, the term "vaccine related" is as described in the respondent's Rule 4( c) Report filed

January 24, 2011. All items of compensation identified in the life care plan are supported by the

evidence, and are illustrated by the chart entitled Appendix A: Items of Compensation for Dov

Fisch, attached hereto as Tab A. 1 Respondent proffers that Dov Fisch should be awarded all

items of compensation set forth in the life care plan and illustrated by the chart attached at Tab

A. Petitioners agree.

         1
           The chart at Tab A illustrates the annual benefits provided by the life care plan. The annual benefit years
run from the date of judgment up to the first anniversary of the date of judgment, and every year thereafter up to the
anniversary of the date of judgment.

         B.     Lost Future Earnings

         The parties agree that based upon the evidence of record, l)ov Fisch will not be gainfully

employed in the future. Therefore, respondent proffers that Dov Fisch should be awarded lost

future earnings as provided under the Vaccine Act, 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a)(3)(B). Respondent

proffers that the appropriate award for Dov Fisch's lost future earnings is $616,828.82.

Petitioners agree.

         C.     Pain and Suffering

         Respondent proffers that Dov Fisch should be awarded $231,869.05 in actual and

projected pain and suffering. This amount reflects that the award for projected pain and

suffering has been reduced to net present value. See 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a)(4). Petitioners

agree.

         D.     Past Umeimbursable Expenses

         Petitioners have supplied no evidence of their expenditure of past umeimbursable

expenses related to Dov Fisch's vaccine-related injury. Respondent proffers that petitioners

should not be awarded past umeimbursable expenses. Petitioners agree.

         E.     New York City Medicaid Lien

         ,Respondent proffers that Dov Fisch should be awarded funds to satisfy the New York

City lien in the amount of $1,590, 163. 70, which represents full satisfaction of any right of

subrogation, assignment, claim, lien, or cause of action that New York City may have against

any individual as a result of any Medicaid payments New York City has made to or on behalf of

Dov Fisch from the date of his eligibility for benefits through the date of judgment in this case as

a result of his vaccine-related injury suffered on or about June 25, 2007, under Title XIX of the

Social Security Act.

F.     Suffolk County Medicaid Lien

       Respondent proffers that Dov Fisch should be awarded funds to satisfy the Suffolk

County lien in the amount of $237,268.50, which represents full satisfaction of any right of

subrogation, assignment, claim, lien, or cause of action that Suffolk County may have against

any individual as a result of any Medicaid payments Suffolk County has made to or on behalf of

Dov Fisch from the date of his eligibility for benefits through the date of judgment in this case as

a result of his vaccine-related injury suffered on or about June 25, 2007, under Title XIX of the

Social Security Act.

II.    Form of the Award

through a combination of lump sum payments and future annuity payments as described below,

and request that the special master's decision and the Court's judgment award the following:

       A.      A lump sum payment of $870,099 .19, representing trust seed funds consisting of

describe only the total yearly sum to be paid to the Trustee of the Reversionary Trust and do not

require that the payment be made in one annual installment.

                   1.       Growth Rate

         Respondent proffers that a four percent (4 %) growth rate should be applied to all non-

medical life care items, and a five percent (5%) growth rate should be applied to all medical life

care items. Thus, the benefits illustrated in the chart at Tab A that are to be paid through annuity

payments should grow as follows: four percent (4%) compounded annually from the date of

judgment for non-medical items, and five percent (5%) compounded annually from the date of

judgment for medical items. Petitioners agree.

                  2.        Life-Contingent Annuity

          Trustee of the Reversionary Trust will continue to receive the annuity payments from

the Life Insurance Company only so long as Dov Fisch is alive at the time that a particular

payment is due. Written notice shall be provided to the Trustee of the Reversionary Trust, the

Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Life Insurance Company within twenty (20)

days of Dov Fisch's death.

     Petitioners authorize the disclosure of certain documents filed by the petitioners in this case consistent with the
Privacy Act and the routine uses described in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program System of
Records, No. 09-15-0056.

               3.      Guardianship

       No payments shall be made until petitioners provide respondent with documentation

establishing that they have been appointed as the guardians/conservators of Dov Fisch's estate.

If petitioners are not authorized by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as

guardians/conservators of the estate of Dov Fisch, any such payment shall be made to the party

or parties appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to serve as guardians/ conservators of

the estate of Dov Fisch upon submission of written documentation of such appointment to the

Secretary.
