THIS MATTER having been opened to the Court by Class Counsel, on behalf of Regina
C. Filannino-Restifo, David Diaz, Ryan Franco, Nona Luce, David Spector, David McEnerney,
Christine Krulan, Juan Carlos Macias, Crossroad Foundation, Andrew Sobczak, Alexis Mullen,
Tracy Olechowski and Jeffrey Feinman (the “Representative Plaintiffs”) by way of their
unopposed motions for final approval of their proposed settlement with TD Bank, N.A. (“TD
Bank”) (together with Representative Plaintiffs, the “Parties”) and for an award of Attorneys’ Fees
and Litigation Costs to Class Counsel and a Service Award to Representative Plaintiffs in the
above Actions;
WHEREAS, the Court having reviewed and considered the motions and supporting
materials filed by Class Counsel, and having also reviewed the court file in these Actions;
WHEREAS, this Court has fully considered the record and the requirements of law; and
good cause appearing;
WHEREAS, the Court finds that the Settlement Agreement was entered into at arm’s
length by experienced counsel and only after mediation and extensive negotiations and is not the
result of collusion; and
WHEREAS, the Court granted Representative Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary
Approval of the Settlement Agreement on July 12, 2017, and conditionally certified the
Settlement Class solely for purposes of settlement (ECF No. 43) (“Preliminary Approval
Order”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and the Court’s Preliminary Approval
Order, a class list was compiled from a review of the records of TD Bank. Following that
review, a total of approximately 5.1 million Account holders were identified. Settlement Class

Members were thereafter provided with notice and an opportunity to object to the Settlement or
opt-out of the Settlement Class; and
WHEREAS, the Court conducted a fairness hearing on January 11, 2018; and
WHEREAS, the Court has fully considered the record of these proceedings, the
representations, argument, and recommendation of counsel for the Parties, and the requirements
of law and good cause appearing,
IT IS THIS ____ day of ______________, 2018, ORDERED that the Final Approval and Judgment is GRANTED, subject to the
following terms and conditions:
1. Definitions. Unless otherwise provided herein, the Court adopts and incorporates
the definitions to all capitalized terms in the Settlement Agreement and those defined terms shall
have the same meaning in this Order.
2. Approval of Settlement Agreement. The Court finds, upon review of the
Settlement Agreement and consideration of the nine factors enunciated in Girsh v. Jepson, 521
F.2d 153, 157 (3d Cir. 1975), that the Settlement and the proposed payment distribution
program provided for in the Settlement are fair, reasonable and adequate. Accordingly the terms
of the Settlement, including all exhibits thereto, are approved in their entirety by the Court and
incorporated into this Order as if expressly set forth and shall have the same force and effect as
an Order of the Court. The Parties and their counsel are ordered to implement and to
consummate the Settlement Agreement according to its terms and provisions. The releases set
forth in the Settlement Agreement are incorporated by reference.

3. Approval of Settlement Class. This Court certifies the following Settlement Class
for settlement purposes pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a) and (b)(3), including because the proposed
Settlement Class is currently and readily ascertainable based on objective criteria:
All persons in the United States who, between April 11, 2010 and Preliminary Approval, used a TD Bank Penny Arcade machine to exchange coins for a credit to a TD Bank Account or for cash. Excluded from the Settlement Class are all current TD Bank employees, officers and directors, counsel for TD Bank, Class Counsel, the judges presiding over the Actions, and the immediate family members of such judges, and any and all Settlement Class Members who timely and validly requested exclusion from the Settlement Class.
The Court finds that the Settlement Class meets all the applicable requirements of Rule 23 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, affirms certification of the Settlement Class for settlement
purposes, and approves the Settlement set forth in the Agreement as being fair, just reasonable,
and adequate. Specifically, the Court finds and concludes:
a. The Settlement Class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable,
satisfying the requirement of Rule 23(a)(1);
b. There are questions of law or fact common to the Settlement Class, satisfying the
requirements of Rule 23(a)(2) and Rule 23(c)(1)(B);
c. The claims of the Representative Plaintiffs are typical of the claims of the Settlement
Class, satisfying the requirements of Rule 23(a)(3);
d. The Representative Plaintiffs will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the
Settlement Class, the interests of the Representative Plaintiffs are not antagonistic to
those of the Settlement Class, and the Representative Plaintiffs are represented by
counsel who are experienced and competent in the prosecution of complex class
action litigation, satisfying the requirements of Rule 23(a)(4);
Case 1:16-cv-02374-JBS-JS Document 56-3 Filed 12/19/17 Page 5 of 9 PageID: 1269
6
e. Questions of law or fact common to the members of the Settlement Class
predominate over questions affecting only individual members, and a class action is
superior to other methods available for the fair and efficient adjudication of the
controversy, satisfying the requirements of Rule 23(b)(3); and
f. The action is manageable as a class action.
4. Approval of Plan of Allocation. The plan of allocation described in the Settlement
Agreement and Long Form Notice is approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate to the Settlement
Class Members, and the Parties and the Settlement Administrator are directed to administer the
Settlement accordingly.
5. Adequacy of Notices. The Court finds that due and adequate Notices were provided
pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to all members of the Settlement
Class, notifying the Settlement Class of, inter alia, the pendency of this action and the proposed
Settlement. The Notices provided were the best notice practicable under the circumstances and
included individual notice by email or first class mail to all members of the Settlement Class who
could be identified through reasonable effort. The Notices provided to the Settlement Class fully
complied in all respects with the requirements of Rule 23.
6. Opt-Out Settlement Class Members. In accordance with the terms of the
Settlement Agreement, Class Counsel filed under seal with this Court a schedule of all
Settlement Class Members who have timely and validly requested to be excluded from the
Settlement Class and accordingly are not included in or bound by this Final Judgment and Order.
The Settlement Class Members who have opted-out are not entitled to receive any

7
reimbursement as described in the Settlement Agreement, Long Form Notice, Postcard Notice or
Claim Form.
7. Approval of Class Representatives. Based upon the Court’s familiarity with the
claims and parties, the Court finds that the Representative Plaintiffs adequately represent the
interests of the Settlement Class and hereby appoint the Representative Plaintiffs as Class
Representatives.
8. Approval of Class Counsel. The Court hereby appoints Bruce H. Nagel of Nagel
Rice, LLP (“Nagel”), Michael Criden of Criden & Love, P.A. (“Criden”), Jeffrey Smith of Wolf
Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz, LLP (“Wolf”), and John Radice of Radice Law Firm
(“Radice”) as Class Counsel pursuant to Rule 23(g) and preliminarily finds that they fairly and
adequately represent the interests of the Settlement Class. The Court further appoints Stephen
DeNittis to serve as liaison counsel for the Settlement Class in these Actions.
9. Binding. The terms of this Final Approval Order and Judgment and the
Settlement are binding on the Representative Plaintiffs and all members of the Settlement Class
who have not timely and validly opted-out and shall have res judicata, collateral estoppel, and all
other preclusive effect in any claims for relief, causes of action, suits, petitions, demands in law
or equity, or any allegations of liability, damages, debts, contracts, agreements, obligations,
promises, attorneys’ fees, costs, interests, or expenses that were or could have been asserted in
these Actions.
10. Dismissal With Prejudice of Complaints. The Complaints in the Actions are
dismissed with prejudice.

and Judgment, the Court shall retain continuing jurisdiction over this action, the Parties and the
Settlement Class, for the purposes of, inter alia, implementing and enforcing the Settlement
Agreement (including any issue that may arise in connection with the formation and/or
administration of the Settlement Fund).

Settlement-related document nor anything contained herein or therein or contemplated hereby or

Agreement or herein, or in any other Settlement-related document, shall constitute, be construed
