Current Status <strong>of</strong> the Claims Against the Settling Defendants and the Main<br />

Components <strong>of</strong> the Proposed <strong>Settlement</strong>.<br />

The Settling GTM Defendants own 52% <strong>of</strong><br />

the interests <strong>of</strong>GTM, which in tum owns<br />

90% <strong>of</strong>the interests in GTO. The only claims brought against the Settling GTM Defendants in<br />

this case were <strong>for</strong> unjust enrichment. The Court, in its December 12,2011 Findings and<br />

Conclusions (p. 44), found that the Settling GTM Defendants had been unjustly enriched.<br />

Furhermore, the Cour, in its Corrected Remedies Order, ordered that the interests <strong>of</strong><br />

the Settling<br />

GTM Defendants in GTO, as well as all distribution <strong>of</strong> fuds the Cour found to be trust fuds,<br />

be turned over to a Special Fiduciary to be used <strong>for</strong> the benefit <strong>of</strong> the Charitable Trust.<br />

The main components <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> are as follows:<br />

(1) The Settling GTM Defendants wil transfer custody to the Special<br />

Fiduciary <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> their interests in GTM, including their balances in<br />

capital accounts <strong>of</strong>$14,965,585.00 (based on estimates <strong>of</strong>201 1 earnings)<br />

as <strong>of</strong> May 26, 2012, and wil relinquish their rights to receive further<br />

distributions and bonuses.<br />

(2) The Settling GTM Defendants wil pay, within 28 days <strong>of</strong> Cour approval,<br />

collectively the additional sum <strong>of</strong> $2.25 milion dollars, which sum shall<br />

be used <strong>for</strong> prior and future legal fees <strong>for</strong> the Private Plaintiffs and<br />

Attorney General in this case, and to provide an advance <strong>for</strong> costs incured<br />

by the Special Fiduciary.<br />

(3) The Settling GTM Defendants wil pay over to the Special Fiduciary tax<br />

refunds they receive as a result <strong>of</strong> the transfer <strong>of</strong> their GTM interests and<br />

as the result <strong>of</strong> any payments made under the <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong>.<br />

2 (4) The Settling GTM Defendants have agreed to continue to work <strong>for</strong> GTO<br />

3<br />

4<br />

<strong>for</strong> a 60-day period and thereafter to a two-year non-competition<br />

agreement.<br />

5 (5) The Settling Defendants wil <strong>for</strong>go their right to appeal this Court's Orders<br />

6<br />

and Judgment.<br />

7 (2) The Reasons <strong>for</strong> Court <strong>Approval</strong><br />

8 The Private Plaintiffs and the Attorney General ask <strong>for</strong> approval <strong>of</strong> the settlement<br />

9 agreement <strong>for</strong> three reasons. First, pursuant to this court's January 12,2012 Order Regarding<br />

10 Transfer <strong>of</strong> Assets, the Settling GTM Defendants are prohibited from making any expenditures<br />

1 1 outside the normal course <strong>of</strong> business without court approvaL. The <strong>Settlement</strong> contemplates<br />

12 expenditures by the Settling GTM Defendants outside the ordinary course <strong>of</strong><br />

business.<br />

13 Additionally, pursuant to the February 25,2010 Stipulated Order Regarding Plaintiffs <strong>Motion</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />

14 Temporary Restraining Order, GTM may not be restructured. The governing documents <strong>of</strong><br />

15 GTM may have to be changed to allow the transfer <strong>of</strong>the Settling GTM Defendants interests.<br />

16 Finally, since the settlement substantially affects the Charitable Trust's assets, it is appropriate<br />

17 that this Court review the settlement terms. ORS 130.050.<br />

23<br />

The <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> is Consistent with the Prior Rulings <strong>of</strong> this Court and in<br />

the Best Interests <strong>of</strong> the Charitable Trust.<br />

The provisions <strong>of</strong><br />

Remedies Order and in the best interests <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> are both consistent with this Court's<br />

the Charitable Trust. Moreover, the <strong>Settlement</strong><br />

<strong>Agreement</strong> wil result in finality on at least some <strong>of</strong> the claims in this case and result in an<br />

immediate benefit to the Charitable Trust.<br />

24 in GTM.<br />

(a.) The Special Fiduciary wil take custody <strong>of</strong><br />

the Settlng Defendants' Interests<br />

25 This Court has ordered that the Special Fiduciary be vested with custody and control <strong>of</strong><br />

26 GTM's interest in GTO. (Corrected Remedies Order, ir 2 (b)). The <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong><br />

,.


provides <strong>for</strong> the same result as to the interests <strong>of</strong> Settling GTM Defendants, and it does so with<br />

2 finality. With respect to the interests <strong>of</strong><br />

the Settling GTM Defendants, there wil be no need to<br />

3 further litigate the issue in the Supreme Court and the Banptcy Cour, where non-settling<br />

4 defendants GTM and Kartar are attempting to seek refuge. The Charitable Trust can<br />

5 immediately begin to benefit from the 52% interests in GTM. The 52% interest represents a<br />

6 47% pr<strong>of</strong>it interest in GTO and approximately $15 milion <strong>of</strong>GTO's capital account.<br />

7 (b.) The Settlng Defendants wil pay collectively the sum <strong>of</strong> $2.25 milion dollars.<br />

8 The Attorney General and the Private Plaintiffs acknowledge that the Court's<br />

judgment<br />

9 against the Settling GTM Defendants wil far exceed $2.25 milion. However, the Settling GTM<br />

10 Defendants have provided to the State and Private Plaintiffs confidential written financial<br />

11 statements disclosing their financial conditions as <strong>of</strong> April 30, 2012, verified by the signature <strong>of</strong><br />

12 each Settling GTM Defendant (see, p. 2, Recital H <strong>of</strong> <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong>). Private Plaintiffs<br />

13 and the Attorney General have determined that given the amounts that would be available to<br />

14 satisfy judgments, the diffculty <strong>of</strong> collection, and the time and uncertainly <strong>of</strong> an appeal, $2.25<br />

15 milion is a reasonable settlement amount.<br />

16 In addition, the Settling GTM Defendants have agreed to pay over to the Special<br />

17 Fiduciary, <strong>for</strong> the benefit <strong>of</strong><br />

the Charitable Trust, any and all tax refunds they are entitled to as a<br />

18 result <strong>of</strong> their payment pursuant to the <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> Cíl3(b) <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Settlement</strong><br />

19 <strong>Agreement</strong>), moneys which are not explicitly awarded to the Charitable Trust under the<br />

20 Corrected Remedies Order. The settling GTM Defendants have also agreed to relinquish their<br />

21 rights to their scheduled 2011 bonuses, which total approximately $500,000 (p. 4, ir 3(c) <strong>of</strong><br />

22 <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong>).<br />

23 It is appropriate that the initial funds being paid be allocated to the attorney fees <strong>of</strong>the<br />

24 Private Plaintiffs and the Attorney General. This litigation has lasted longer and has been far<br />

25 more complicated than anyone initially envisioned, and the <strong>Sikh</strong> <strong>Dharma</strong> community members<br />

26 who have helped finance it are having some diffculty funding the continuation <strong>of</strong> the case. Both<br />

Private Plaintiffs and the Attorney General wil be allowed attorney fees in any event in this<br />

2 matter, and what they receive though the <strong>Settlement</strong> wil <strong>of</strong>fset what the other defendants must<br />

3 pay<br />

and thereby ensure that more <strong>of</strong> the money received by the other defendants can be used<br />

4 directly <strong>for</strong> the benefit <strong>of</strong> the Charitable Trust. Likewise, it is appropriate that the money be<br />

5 available to pay costs and fees incurred by the Special Fiduciary, who may otherwise need to<br />

6 wait an unreasonable period <strong>of</strong> time be<strong>for</strong>e being compensated from other trust assets<br />

agreement.<br />

9 The <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> provides <strong>for</strong> an orderly transition <strong>of</strong> management. While the<br />

10 Settling GTM Defendants have agreed to stay on <strong>for</strong> 60-days, they and the Special Fiduciary<br />

11 could come to an agreement <strong>for</strong> a longer period. In any event, the business wil be protected<br />

Settling Defendants interests in GTM wil be transferred to the Special Fiduciar. The parties<br />

have determined that temporary "custody" wil go to the Special receiver, and that "ownership"<br />

wil go to the Charitable Trust in the <strong>for</strong>m <strong>of</strong> a new Oregon religious non-pr<strong>of</strong>it corporation. The<br />

new religious corporation wil be subject to oversight by the Oregon Attorney General and wil<br />

20 be governed by directors chosen by the <strong>Sikh</strong> <strong>Dharma</strong> religion through a process that has been<br />

monitored by the Oregon Attorney General? This religious corporation wil take the Settling<br />

GTM Defendants' interests subject to the Trust and shall administer the assets solely <strong>for</strong> the trust<br />

purposes <strong>for</strong> which the Cour found they were intended.<br />

2 In the Court's letter to counsel <strong>of</strong> May 29, 2012, the Court contemplated such a result in the event the<br />

parties were unable to agree on responsible and appropriate trustees. In this case, despite several days <strong>of</strong><br />

mediation administered by Judge Hogan, the DI defendants, on the one hand, and the Private Plaintiffs<br />

and the State on the other, are unable to reach any agreement on any matter whatsoever.<br />

The Difference Between the Currently Proposed <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> and the<br />

<strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> Previously Rejected by the Court.<br />

As the Cour wil recall, the Settling GTM Defendants and the Attorney General reached<br />

a prior agreement to settle the claims against the Settling GTM Defendants. Private Plaintiffs<br />

objected to the <strong>Settlement</strong>, and the Cour ultimately rejected the settlement. The current<br />

settlement is materially more beneficial than the prior proposed settlement <strong>for</strong> the following<br />

reasons:<br />

(a)<br />

The previous proposed settlement placed the GTM interests right back into UI,<br />

controlled by those whom this Court has found breached their fiduciary duties by transferring the<br />

assets in the first place. The current <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> gives custody to the independent<br />

Special Fiduciary <strong>for</strong> the benefit <strong>of</strong> the Trust.<br />

(b)<br />

The previous proposed settlement provided <strong>for</strong> unlimited indemnity to the Settling<br />

12 GTM Defendants by UI. The current <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> caps indemnity at $250,000,<br />

matched dollar <strong>for</strong> dollar by the Settling GTM Defendants, up to that amount. Furthermore, the<br />

<strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> limits the types <strong>of</strong> liabilities <strong>for</strong> which the indemnity applies (p. 10, i¡9 <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong>).<br />

(c)<br />

Under the previous proposed settlement, the Settling GTM Defendants transferred<br />

all their voting rights and rights to control to a Voting Trust, the holder <strong>of</strong><br />

which was subject to<br />

approval by Kartar Singh Khalsa, the defendant who engineered and gained more than anyone<br />

else from the unlawful transfer <strong>of</strong> GTO to GTM. There is no such provision in the current<br />

<strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong>. Instead, the Settling GTM Defendants are to make all reasonable and<br />

good faith ef<strong>for</strong>ts to provide the Special Fiduciary with all their management and other non-<br />

economic interests in GTM (p. 4, i¡3 (a)(2)).<br />

(d)<br />

The Settling GTM Defendants made a nominal $50,000 payment under the<br />

previous proposed settlement. As noted above, the current <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Agreement</strong> provides <strong>for</strong> a<br />

payment <strong>of</strong> $2.25 milion, the payment <strong>of</strong> tax refunds, and the relinquishment <strong>of</strong> 201 1 bonuses.<br />
