The Honorable John F. Grady, a Judge olthe United

sons with hemophilia, their IIIV Infected spouses and
children. and their estates. These lawsuits claim Injury
from the use of IIIV,ontamlnated plasma-derived fac-
tor concentrates, speclftcally f'a(~tors VIJI and IX.
The principal defendants In these suits are: Al.PIIA
TfIERAPEUTIC CORPORATION, GREEN CROSS OF
AMERICA CORPORATION and TIlE GREEN CROSS COHo
PORATION (collectively, "Alpha"), ARMOUR PIIAHMA-
C!:UTICAL COMPANY, RHONE.POUl.ENC RORER INC.

fers to Cutter Laboratories, Inc" Culler laboratories, a
division of Miles, Inc" Miles Laboratories, Inc" Miles,

this Notice as the "Fractlonators."
These lawsuits allege Ihal the Fractlonators arc
legally responsible lor IIIV Infections caused by factor
concentrates. The Fractlonators have vigorously de-
fended these lawsuits and deny any liability.
The Judicial Panel on Multldlstrlct Litigation con-
solidated alllederal cases be/ore Judge Grady In 1993.
Therea/ter. Judge Grady appointed a Plaintiffs' Steering
Commlllee to conduct that litigation. Including discov-
ery of common Issues, on behalf 01 all 01 those plain-
tiffs. Judge Grady has also allempted care/ully to coor-
dinate this consolidated /ederal litigation with the
pretrial preparation of similar cases pending In various
state courts.
On November 3, 1994, the District Court certified a
litigation class action to resolve certain Issues which It
believed were common to all cases. lIowever, on March
16,1995, In response to a petition flied by the Fraction-
ators, Ihe United States Court of Appeals /or the Sev-
enth Circuit held that these Issues were not properly
certified as a litigation class acllon and directed that the
class be decertified. On Janua.ry 16, 1996, the District
Court Issued an Order decertifying the lltlgallon class,
There has been substantial litigation oefore Judge
Grady concerntng the merits of the lawsuits which have
been flied against the f'ractlonators Including: examin-
Ing, analyzing, and classifying over a million pages of

and scientific experts.
On Arrlll!l, l!l!)(i, the Fractlonators, without admll.
tlng liability, and to limit the time, expcnse aJllI risks 01
continued litigation, proposed a nallonwlde settlement
of all claims 01 all members 01 the Settlement Class
(which Is described below). In August, 19!)(i, following
extensive negotiations among th" Parlles, a compre.
henslve setllement agreement was reached.

Re: Estate of Michael B. Sutton, deceased
Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Wolfgang:
The Department of Revenue is in receipt of the Petition for
Court Approval of Settlement filed on behalf of the above-
referenced Estate in regard to a wrongful death and survival
action. As we discussed, the Petition, your cover letter and
this letter in response thereto will be kept under seal in this
Office. No copies of any of these documents will be produced or
dissemi.nated in any mcmner.
Pursuant to the Petition, the forty-two year old decedent
died ten years after, and directly as a result of, contracting a
disease from an infectious agent contained in a pharmaceutical
concentrate used by him. The subject action was filed against
the manufacturers of the concentrate. The decedent had no
children, and ',his parents suff~red no pecuniary loss as the
result of his death. The sole heir to decedent's e~tate is his
spouse. As decedent died in 1995, ~ny payment as settlement of
the survival action would therefore be subject to a 0%
inheritance tax rate.
Please be advised that, based upon these facts, and for
Inheritance Tax purposes only, the Department has no objection to
the proposed allocation of the gross proceeds of. this action,
$50,000 to the wrongful death claim and $50,000 to the survival
claim.
I trust that this letter is a sufficient representation of
the Department's position on this matter. As the Department has
no Objections to the Petition, I will not be attending any

ATTORNEY FEE/COST REIMUURSEMENT APPLICATION FORM
INTRODUCTION
The Honorable John F. Grady, presiding judg" in the consolidated MDI. litigation in the
Northern District o( Illinois (MOL No, '1116), has Ct!rtified .1 dilss for sl'ltll'ment purposl's ilnd
given prL'limin.uy ilppmv,lI tlla pr"l'"s,'d sl'ltll'ml'ntthl'Il'llf.
Under the terms of thl' sl'ltIL'mentaglL'enlent which till' Court hils I'relimil1l1rily approvl'd,
,III d,lilllS (or counsel (ees .1Ild rl'imllllrsl'ment o( costs induding ,III costs o( nlltice and d,lims
administrntlon must be p,lid out 0(.1 $.H!million (und subjedto such terms and conditions as the
Court may impose.
There arc thlL'e l'oltl'gories o( l"osts for which reimbursl'l11l'nt will bl' sought.
,
(I) First, th~rt.! arl' ill.ltnluistr,ltivl' (llstS ,1SStKi.\tl1d with prol'L'ssing the class .1ction ~llttk'~
ment. EX'"11ples Me printing and distribution of daim (orms, (ees ilnd expenses o( a Settle-
ment Adminish'.ltor, the establishl11ent o( MOO numbers (or in(ormational purposes, and other
expenses directly relating to implementation o( till' settlement.
(2) Second, there will be those rl'.lsonable l'xpenses incurred dill'l"tly in connection with
an individlllll claim which becomes p.lrl o( till' settlement and is sUl"l"ess(ully pml"essed (or
payment. Where applicable, there may be expenses incurred in connection with distribution
of proceeds (e,g" local Court filing (ees (or Court appmv,ll in death cases, i( nel"essary, to
qualified beneficiaries or appointment of a personal representative>. In most c,lses these ex.
penses afC expected to be 1l1odcst, involving chilrgcs for pertinent Illcdkal records to vllli~
date cHgibility, ilnd \vhcrc necessary, 1l1arriagc cl'rtificatcs, death cl1rtifklltcs and sirnillH
information.
(3) A third category for whidl reimbursenll'nt will be sought, subject to the cOllrt's ap'
proval, will be a proportion o( the costs incllrrl'd by the Court-appoinll'd Steering Commit-
tee in support o( the common prepMation o( till' consolidated M DL litigation. Costs incurll'd
in tort cases or other d.lims which opt out l"annot be the sllbjed o( reimbursement, nor can
the MOL Steering Committee receive reimbursement (or any future effort on behalf of opt
out cases which arc or will be pl.lced in suit. There will be no reimbursement (or costs, other
than notice and administrative costs, i( the settlement is not impleml'nll'd.
EXI'LANATORY COMMENT
The actual amount o( costs, and therefore the balance available for ,lttorneys' fees, c.lnnot be
determined untilthl! dass action settlement is fully processed. At the time o( the fin,ll fairness
hearing scheduled for November 25, 19'16, the Court will dl'lermine the ovt'rall (,lirness of tht'
costs and fees, for which counsel have applied. It is provided in thl' Settlement Agrecmt'nt and
Notice that applic,ltion (or fees and costs must be submitted by September 23, 1 '196, Since as o(
that date, the opt out period will not have expired, with the likelihood o( additional claim forms
being submitted by claimants there,lfter, it will likely be necessoIrY to supplement the tet' and cost
applic.ltion prior to the November 25 (,Iirness hearing.
In ,\(Idition to fees awardable ill connection with ,111 individll,\I's participation ill the sell Ie-
ment, the applic.ltion for fees will inclllde services o( the 1'1.lintiHs' Stt't'nng Committee tor SOniC

In addition to (ees for ""vict's relldered by d,lSS counsel ,md common bt'nt'fil services pro-

Re: Estate of Michael B. Sutton, deceased
Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Wolfgang:
The Department of Revenue is in receipt of the Petition for
Court Approval of Settlement filed on behalf of the above-
referenced Estate in regard to a wrongful death and survival
action. As we discussed, the Petition, your cover letter and
this letter in response thereto will be kept under seal in this
Office. No copies of any of these documents will be produ~ed or
disseminated in any manner.
Pursuant to the Petition, the forty-two year old decedent
died ten years after, and directly as a result of, contracting a
disease from an infectious, agent contained in a pharmaceutical
concentrate used by him. The subject action was filed against
the manufacturers of the concentrate. The decedent had no
children, and his parents suffered no pecuniary loss as the
result of his death. The sole heir to decedent's estate is his
spouse. As decedent died in 1995, any payment as settlement of
the survival action would therefore be subject to a 0%
inheritance tax rate.
Please be advised that, based upon these facts, and for
Inheritance Tax purposes only, the Department has no objection to
the proposed allocation of the gross proceeds of this action,
$50,000 to the wrongful death claim and $50,000 to the survival
claim,
I trust that this letter is a sufficient representation of
the Department's position on this matter. As the Department has
no Objections to the Petition, I will not be attending any

PRETRIAL ORDER NO. 33
Paragraph 20 of Pretrial Order No. 32 requires Plaintiffs' Counsel to apply for fee and ex-
pense payments on or before September 23, 1996. The Court, in its capacity as fiduciary for all
selllement class members, shall approve and authorize any such payments. To facilitate collec-
tion of fee and cost data, the Court hereby directs Lead Class Counsel to provide for dissemina-
tion of the allached fee and cost reimbursement information and claim form to all Plaintiffs'
counsel they know of who wish to submit fee applications for services rendered on behalf of
individual settlement class members. Lead Class Counsel arc further dir.lcled to submit a report
on all fee and expense applications on or before September 23. 1996, and timely to supplement
their report in advance of the November 25, 1996 Hearing.
Dated: September 5, 1996

John F. Grady, United States District Judge
ATTORNEY Flil:/COST RElMBUI{SEMENT APPLICATION fORM
INTRODUCTION
The Honorable John F. Grady, presiding judge in the consolidated MDL litigation in the
Northern District of Illinois (MOL No. 986), has certified a class for settlement purposes and
given preliminary approval to a proposed settlement thereof.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement which the Court has preliminarily approved,
all claims for counsel fees and reimbursement of costs including all costs of notice and claims
administration must be paid out of a $40 million fund sub/ectto such terms and conditions as the
Court may impose.
There are three categories o( costs for which reimbursement will be sought.
.
(1) First, there are administrative costs associated with processing the class action settle-
ment, Examples arc printing and distribution of claim (orms, fees and expenses of a Settle-
ment Administratol~ the establishment of 800 numbers for informational purposes, and other
expenses directly relating to implementation of the settlement.
(2) Second, there will be those reasonable expenses incurred directly in connection with
an individual claim which becomes part of the settlement and is successfully processed for
payment. Where applicable, there may be expenses incurred in connection with distribution
of proceeds (e.g" local Court filing fees for Court approval in death cases, if necessary, to
qualified beneficiaries or appointment of a personal representative), In most cases these ex-
penses are expected to be modest, involving charges for pertinent medical records to vali-
date eligibility, and where necessary, marriage certificates, death certificates and similar
information,
(3) A third category (or which reimbursement will be sought, sub/ectlo the court's ap'
proval, will be a proportion of the costs incurred by the Court-appointed Steering Commit-
tee in support of the common preparation of the consolidaled MDL Iiligatio7icosts incurred
in tort cases or other claims which opt oul cannot be the subject of reimbl 'sement, nor can
the MDL Sleering Committee receive. reimbursement for any future eHor on behalf of opt
out cases which arc or will be placed in suit. There will be no reimbursement for costs, other
than notice and administrative costs, i( the settlement is not implemented,
EXPLANATORY COMMENT
The actual amount of costs, and therefore the balance available for attorneys' fees, cannot be
determined until the class action settlement is fully processed. At the time o( the final fairness
hearing scheduled for November 25, 1996, the Court will determine the overall fairness of the
costs and (ees, for which counsel have applied, It is provided in the Settlement Agreement and
Notice that application for tees and costs must be submitted by September 23, 1996, Since as 0/
that date, the opt out period will not have expired, with the likelihood of additional claim forms
being submitted by claimants thereafter, it will likely be necessary to supplement the fee and cost
application prior to the November 25 fairness hearing,
In addition to fees awardable in connection with an individual's particip"tion in the settle.
ment, the application for fees will include services of the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee for some
proportion of the professional services it has rendered in the litigation,
In addition to fees for services rendered by class counsel and common benefit services pro'
vided by the (,Iainti/(s' Steering Committee, including counsel associated with it, the Courl sub.
sequently may award (ees to provide a reasonable level 0/ compensation for other attorneys'
2
fees, given the aggregate amount of fees and costs claims which will be asserted against the Cost
and Fee Fund, without reference to percentage fee agreements. The Court recognizes that there Is
a correlation between the date when client contact first occurred and the professional effort which
generally would be required, The Court will consider professional services actually rendered in
support of individual files handled by attorneys as Individual tort claims, not in anticipation of a
proposed class action settlement, and where the work actually performed and the time involved
reflects such a work effort. Such applications for fees necessarily depend on representation un-
dertaken as of a date prior to any awareness of the current proposed class action settlement.
INSTRUCTIONS !'OR COMPLETING CLAIM I'ORM FOR FEES AND COSTS
This claim form must be fully completed and personally signed at the end thereof by each
attorney who is seeking reimbursement of costs and an attorneys' fee for services rendered to or
on behalf of a person eligible to participate In the proposed class action settlement and, if at all
possible, returned not later than September 21,1996 to (if you al'e unable to complete this claim
form by September 21, please submit it as sconthereafter as possible):

Re: Estate of Michael B. Sutto.!lJ. deceased
Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Wolfgang:
The Department of Revenue is in receipt of the Petition for
Court Approval of Settlement filed on behalf of the above-
refer~nced Estate in regard to a wrongful death and survival
action. As we discussed, the Petition, your cover letter and
this letter in response thereto will be kept under seal in this
Office. No copies of any of these documents will be produced or
disseminated in any manner.
Pursuant to the Petition, the forty-two year old decedent
died ten years after, and directly as a result of, contracting a
disease from an infectious agent contained in a phal~ceutical
concentrate used by him. The subject action was filed against
the manufacturers of the concentrate. The decedent had no
children, and his parents suffered no pecuniary loss as the
result of his death. The sole heir to decedent's estate is his
spouse. As decedent died in 1995, any payment as settlement of
the survival action would therefore be subject to a 0%
inheritance tax rate.
Please be advised that, bas~d upon these facts, and for
Inheritance Tax purposes only, the Depar:tment has no obj ection to
the proposed allocation of the gross proceeds of this action,
$50,000 to the wrongful death claim and $50,000 to the survival
claim.
I trust that this letter is a sufficient representation of
the Department's position on this matter. lis the Department has
no objections to the Petition, I will not be attending any

John F. Grady, United Slates District Judge
ATTORNEY FEIYCOST RElMBUHSEMENT APPLICATION FORM
INTRODUCTION
The Honorable John F. Grady, presiding judge in the consolidated MOL litigation in the
Northern District of illinois (MOL No. 986), has certified a class for settlement purposes and
given preliminary approval to a proposed settlement thereof.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement which the Court has preliminarily approved,
all claims for counsel fees and reimbursement of costs including all costs of notice and claims
administration must be paid out 01 a $40 million fund subject to such terms and conditions as the
Court may impose.
There are three categories 01 costs lor which reimbursement will be sought.
.
(I) First, there are administrative costs associated with processing the class action settle-
ment. Examples arc printing and distribution 01 claim lorms, Ices and expenses 01 a Settle-
ment Administrator, the establishment 01800 numbers for informational purposes, and other
expenses directly relating to implementation olthe settlement.
(2) Second, there will be those reasonable expenses incurred directly in connection with
an individual claim which becomes part olthe settlement and is successfully processed for
payment. Where applicable, there may be expenses incurred in connection with distribution
01 proceeds (e.g., local Court filing fees for Court approval in death cases, if necessary, to
qualified beneficiaries or appointment 01 a personal representative). In most cases these ex.
penses arc expected to be modest, involving charges lor pertinent medical records to vali-
date eligibility, .lnd where necessary, marriage certilicates, death certificates and similar
information.
(3) A third category for which reimbursement will be sought, subject to the court's ap-
proval, will be a proportion of the costs incurred by the Court-appointed Steering Commit-
tee in support olthe common preparation of the consolidated MOL IitigatiorY. Costs incurred
in tort cases or other claims which opt out cannot be the subject 01 reimblttsement, nor can
the MOL Steering Committee receive reimbursement for any future eUorl on behall 01 opt
out cases which arc or will be placed in suit. There will be no reimbursement lor costs, other
than notice and administrative costs, if the settlement is not implemented.
EXPLANATORY COMMENT
The actual amount of costs, and therefore the balance available lor attorneys' Ices, cannot be
determined until the class action settlement is fully processed. At the time of the final fairness
hearing scheduled for November 25, 1996, the Court will determine the overall fairness of the
costs and fees, lor which counsel have applied. It is provided in the Setllement Agreement and
Notice that application lor lees and costs must be submitted by September 23, 1996. Since as 01
that date, the opt out period will not have expired, with the likelihood of additional claim forms
being submitted by claimants therealter, it will likely be necessary to supplement the fee and cost
application prior to the November 25 lairness hearing
In addition to fees awardable in connection with an individual's participation in the settle-
ment, the application lor lees will include services olthe Plaintiffs' Steering Committee lor some
proportion 01 the prolessional services it has rendered in the litig.llioo.
In addition to fees for services rendered by class counsel and common benefit services pro-
vided by the Plaintiffs' Steering Commillee, including counsel .1sso<\i,lIed with it, the Court sub-
sequently may .1Ivard fees to provide a I'.'asollable level of COl1lpellsation for other .1ltorlll'Ys'

Ices, given the aggregate amount of fees and costs claims which will be asserted against the Cost
and Fcc Fund, without relercncc 10 perccntage fee agreements. The Court recognizes thntthere is
a corrclation bctweenthe date when client contact first occurred and the professional ellort which
generally would be required. The Court will consider prolessional services actually rendered in
support 01 individual files handled by attorneys as individual tort claims, not in anticipation of a
proposed class action settlement, and where the work actually perlormed and the time involved
reflects such a work ellort. Such applications for fees necessarily depend on representation un-
dertaken as of a date prior to any awareness olthe current proposed class action settlement.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING CLAIM FORM I'OH FEES AND COSTS
