15. If I opt out, can I get benefits from this Class Settlement?

No. If you opt out, you cannot be part of this Class Settlement. You will not be eligible for any payments from the Qualified Settlement Fund, and you cannot object to the Class Settlement. You will not be legally bound by anything that happens in this Case.

If you opt out, you may sue, continue to sue, or be part of a different lawsuit against any or all of the Defendants or Former Defendants about the legal issues in this Case in the future. You will assume the risk of failure of any such litigation, which may quickly become time-barred (if it is not already time-barred) due to the statute of limitations. You may wish to consult with independent counsel before opting out of this Class Settlement.
