Carly Rae Jepsen

Q: What did Carly Rae Jepsen think was the best song of 2012?

Used to Know” was her favorite. “I thought it was really original,” says the former Canadian Idol contestant, 27. “I fell in love with it immediately.”

The Recording Academy agreed: Australian star Gotye received three nominations of his own.

Q: Is it tough for the Roots to make new music since becoming the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in 2009?

—Joe Patel, Prescott, Ariz.

A: “Not at all. This is the perfect job for a working musician,” says Roots cofounder Questlove, 42

The singer, 30, received three Grammy nods this year, including Best Pop Vocal Album and Record of the Year.

Do you get nervous before award shows? I’m only nervous if I win, because I’m not good at speaking in public. I can sing in front of millions of people, but if I have to speak, I’m horrible!

You’ve been called the “Breakup Song Queen.” Now that you’re engaged (to talent manager Brandon Blackstock), can we expect happier love songs? I’m in a different place romantically, a new chapter, but I’m sure Brandon will piss me off at some point and I’ll write a song that will please people!

What’s your go-to karaoke tune?

Definitely Eminem! I love doing rap songs because I’m terrible, and that’s what makes it funny.

As the first American Idol winner, what’s your take on the new judges?

The show needed to be freshened up a bit. I’m a huge Mariah Carey fan. If I had seen her as one of the judges when I was trying out, that would have been so cool.

(third from right). “Before Fallon, we were on the road over 200 days a year; now we have concentrated time to just work on music, whether it’s for the show or ourselves.” The group’s Undun is up for Best Rap Album, and Fallon’s Blow Your Pants Off, on which the Roots play, is in the running for Best Comedy Album.

“What was supposed to be a quasi-retirement gig has turned out to be the busiest time in our careers!”

Q: Has there ever been a tie for a Grammy?

—Reta H., Johnson City, Tenn.

A: Yes, there have been 21 ties since 1959. The most recent was in 2011 for the Classical Engineer award.

In 1978, Barbra Streisand and Paul Williams’s “Evergreen” split the votes for Song of the Year with Joe Brooks’s “You Light up My Life”—the first and only tie in that category in Grammy history. See the full list at Parade.com/grammy.

Q: Why does Zac Brown always wear a beanie?

—R. J. Pasky, Elyria, Ohio

A: The country star’s signature headwear is a practical fashion choice.

“As a singer, you have to keep your ears covered to avoid catching a cold,” says Brown, 34, who fronts the Zac Brown Band (nominated for Country Album of the Year). “Back when I was traveling and playing bars six nights a week, I started wearing one and just got used to the way it felt. Now fans send me beanies from all over.” < Jack Antonoff, Andrew

BEHIND THE MUSIC Get up close and personal with two cable documentaries this Grammy week. History of the Eagles Part One and Part Two (Showtime, Feb. 15 and 16) uses archival footage plus interviews with all the band members to detail the rise, split, and reunion of the ’70s icons, who learned, as Don Henley puts it, that “success can be as disconcerting as failure.” Intimate is the word for Beyoncé’s Life Is but a Dream (HBO, Feb. 16), in which the star shares some of her most private thoughts as well as Blue Ivy’s sonogram.

ou can keep your Grammys and your Oscars! For brand managers and marketing directors, the awards that really matter are the Products of the Year USA, to be honored this Tuesday in New York City. Now in its fifth year, the competition is a sort of People’s Choice for consumer products, giving a round of applause to items from every aisle of the supermarket and drugstore. But first, those items needed a nod from the experts: A jury of industry leaders and journalists identified the submissions that showed innovation in function, design, packaging, or ingredients.

Then 50,000 shoppers from across the U.S. chose the winners, which range from toothpaste and antacids to pickles and detergent. What trends do the 26 honorees represent?

Read on to find out.

(Our advice: Keep a pen and paper handy.)

Trend No. 1

WE’RE NOSTALGIC

Late one night in 2011, Nestlé Crunch marketing manager Cherry Joh was brainstorming new variations on her brand’s iconic candy bar when she struck confectionary gold: adding the beloved flavors of Girl Scout Cookies. “We’d be combining two timeless classics and giving them a twist to make them relevant for today,” says Joh. Two years later, the company launched three types of Nestlé Crunch Girl Scout candy

bars—Peanut Butter Crème, Caramel & Coconut, and Thin Mints. Were they a hit? Yup— during a presale on Facebook, 3,000 boxes were sold in 24 hours.

Nestlé Crunch bars aren’t the only childhood favorite teaming up with other treats: M&M’s now share a bag with costars like mini cookies, mini pretzel twists, and roasted almonds. It took months to develop the right balance of flavors and textures in the three snack mixes, which feature milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or peanut M&M’s.

Vlasic also sought to tap into nostalgia with its line of Farmer’s Garden pickles, which are packed without preservatives or artificial flavors and sold in mason jars for an artisanal look. “We wanted to re-create the same old-world pickles that my grandma used to make,” says Andy Reichgut, senior vice president of marketing.

Among the new (old) touches: cloves of garlic, carrot slices, and red pepper strips.

Dixie’s mission? Build a better paper plate. “People are eating out less, but they’re still hosting get-togethers,” says brand director Laura Knebusch. Over the past few years, the R&D team has redesigned the Dixie Ultra plate’s rim to support more weight; fortified the Soak Proof Shield to prevent grease from seeping through; strengthened the plate’s layers; and covered it all in an attractive colorful print.

Aimed at the same group is MidNite for Menopause, a tablet containing melatonin, lavender, lemon balm, and chamomile that promises relief from the

insomnia caused by fluctuating hormones.

GoodNites target a younger set—kids who wet the bed. Nearly 30 percent of 4-year-olds and more than 5 percent of 10-year-olds have nighttime accidents. As kids get older, they often don’t want to wear disposable underwear.

The brand’s solution: disposable 2-by-3-foot mats that adhere to sheets. “Our mantra is: less laundry, less stress, more sleep,” says brand director Jen Wilder.

WE’RE SENSITIVE ABOUT OUR MOUTHS

Plaque, shmaque. Today, consumers are more concerned about halitosis. “A lot of people have clinical issues under control.

We’re seeing fewer cavities, for instance,” says Patrick Seiffert, senior brand manager at Aquafresh. “But bad breath is something we all have at some point, and it can cripple your social confidence.” The company spent two years developing a mineral compound to destroy the bacteria that generate foul smells. After testers brushed with the new paste, called Extreme Clean Pure Breath Action, their mouths had 80 percent fewer volatile sulfur compounds (which smell like—yuck!—rotten eggs).

Tums—the chewable antacid that’s been curbing heartburn for more than 80 years—also made a move for the mouth this past year. When research revealed that 94 percent of heartburn sufferers simultaneously experience bad breath, the brand

It’s an area of emotion,” says Tara Fourre, principal scientist at Johnson & Johnson. That was the inspiration behind Listerine Ultraclean with Everfresh Technology. To perfect the formula, Fourre’s team ran a grueling study: Subjects rinsed with the mouthwash, then rated how fresh their mouths felt every 15 minutes for a full eight hours.

It’s hard to imagine a greater confidence killer than cold sores. “They can be triggered by stressful events like a wedding or job interview, when you least want to deal with a blemish,” says Abreva spokesperson Debbie Bolding. So the company created Abreva Conceal, a clear, whisper-thin patch that covers the blister and allows users to apply lipstick or concealer on top.

Take, for instance, the SodaStream, an at-home soda and seltzer maker that creates carbonated drinks (with a customizable level of fizz) from nearly 70 flavor syrups.

One reusable carbonator makes the amount of soda found in 169 cans. Without those containers to transport from warehouses to stores to homes, less gasoline is burned.

A similar principle applies to laundry: Concentrated detergent means smaller bottles that demand fewer

resources to manufacture and less gas to transport. But when companies switched to denser formulas in the mid-2000s, they faced a surprising hiccup: Consumers tended to use the same amount of detergent as before, dumping an extra “just in case” splash of soap into the wash—bad news for the clothes, the machine, and the planet. New All Mighty Pacs help eliminate the guesswork and curb waste. Each singledose, dissolvable pod contains one load’s worth of super-concentrated liquid detergent.

WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;RE SENSITIVE ABOUT OUR MOUTHS

Plaque, shmaque. Today, consumers are more concerned about halitosis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people have clinical issues under control. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing fewer cavities, for instance,â&#x20AC;? says Patrick Seiffert, senior brand manager at Aquafresh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But bad breath is something we all have at some point, and it can cripple your social conďŹ dence.â&#x20AC;? The brand spent two years developing a mineral compound to destroy the bacteria that cause foul odors. After testers used the new paste, called Extreme Clean Pure Breath Action, their mouths had 80 percent fewer volatile sulfur compounds (which smell likeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;yuck!â&#x20AC;&#x201D;rotten eggs).

Tumsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the chewable antacid thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been curbing heartburn for more than 80 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;also made a move for the mouth this past year. When research revealed that 94 percent of heartburn sufferers also experience bad breath, the brand developed Tums Freshers to help knock out both problems with a single tablet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You use your mouth to eat, but also to express yourself. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an area of emotion,â&#x20AC;? says Tara Fourre, principal scientist at Johnson & Johnson. That was the inspiration behind Listerine Ultraclean with Everfresh Technology. To perfect the formula, Fourreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team ran a grueling study: Subjects rinsed with the mouthwash, then rated how fresh their mouths felt every 15 minutes for a full eight hours.

Another ailment we could do without: cold sores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can be triggered by stressful events like a wedding or job interview, when you least want to deal with a blemish,â&#x20AC;? says Abreva spokesperson Debbie Bolding. So the company created Abreva Conceal, a clear, thin patch that covers the sore and lets users apply lipstick or concealer on top.

LEGAL NOTICE

Trend No. 7

TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONSUMED CERTAIN WATER FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS IN WEST VIRGINIA AND OHIO

WE EXPECT A LOT FROM OUR CLEANING PRODUCTS

Please read this carefully as it may affect your legal rights.

If you have consumed water for at least one year before December 3, 2004 from Lubeck Public Service District, Little Hocking Water Association, City of Belpre, Village of Pomeroy, Mason County Public Service District (WV) or Tuppers Plains-Chester Water District, OR certain private water sources containing 0.05 ppb or > of C-8, you may be a Class Member in a suit against DuPont.

What is this Litigation about?

A Settlement of a class action lawsuit was approved in 2005 in Wood County Circuit Court, West Virginia. It deals with releases from DuPont’s Washington Works plant in Parkersburg, WV, of a chemical, C-8, known also as PFOA or APFO. DuPont denies any wrongdoing but settled the case to avoid the time and cost of litigation.

What is this Notice about?

An independent panel of three epidemiologists (the “Science Panel”) has found that a “Probable Link” (defined in the Settlement) exists between exposure to C-8 and pregnancy-induced hypertension (including preeclampsia), kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, and diagnosed high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia). The Science Panel has not found that a “Probable Link” exists for any other Human Diseases.

Medical Monitoring If the independent Medical Panel determines that a Medical Monitoring Protocol is appropriate, DuPont shall pay the cost of medical monitoring for applicable Class Members in accordance with any such Protocol up to $235,000,000. More information will be made available to Class Members on the procedures to follow after issuance of any such Protocol.

Class Members’ Release of DuPont as to Certain Claims The Named Class Members on behalf of themselves and the class members have released and forever discharged DuPont and other Released Parties (defined in the Settlement) from any and all claims and losses for personal injury and wrongful death that: (a) relate to exposure to C-8 of class members from any and all pathways including, but not limited to, air, water and soil; (b) are based on the same factual predicate as raised in the Lawsuit; and (c) relate to any Human Disease other than the specific Human Diseases identified in this notice.

Rights of Class Members as to “Probable Link” Findings The tolling of the statutes of limitations set forth in the Settlement Agreement will expire on January 28, 2013 for any claims that Class Members are permitted to pursue under the Settlement relating to the Human Diseases identified above for which the Science Panel delivered a “Probable Link” finding.

This is a summary notice. The full notice with additional information can be obtained by calling 1-877-528-4849.

NO INQUIRIES SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE COURT Dated: January 2013

By Order of the Court Honorable John D. Beane, Judge

For More Information, Call 1-877-528-4849

“Gels and powders do different things in the dishwasher,” says Ben Crawley, senior brand manager at Finish. “We thought, why compromise?”

The trick to combining the power of a gel and a powder was preventing ingredients from mixing and deteriorating before they hit your dishes.

So the company introduced Finish Quantum with Power Gel, single-load capsules with three chambers—one for each ingredient, released as needed during the wash cycle.

The R&D team at Resolve devised a similar strategy for fighting laundry stains. Some (like coffee) need an oxygenbased solution; others (like grass) require enzymes.

Resolve All-Stains tackles both types with a two-chamber bottle holding separate enzyme- and oxygen-based formulas, which mix only as they’re applied to clothes.

Surf had a simpler challenge: to develop an alternative to its popular powdered detergent. Its Surf Liquid formula gives clothes the same bright, breezy scents as the powder.

Even the ever reliable paper towel has gotten a makeover: Brawny adjusted the quality and type of fibers it uses, and tweaked how they bond, to make wet paper towels stronger for tougher jobs in the bathroom and garage.

HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS Quality Tools at Ridiculously Low Prices Trend No. 8

WE LIKE TO BE PAMPERED IN THE BATHROOM

When it comes to bath tissue, luxury has meant different things at different times: In the 1920s, Quilted Northern debuted the first sterilized toilet paper; in the 1930s, it touted its splinter-free guarantee (ouch); and in the 1960s, it launched two-ply paper. The latest wrinkle: Quilted Northern Ultra Plush, the only three-ply paper with an “Innerlux” layer for added absorbency. “In spite of the down economy, consumers still want to spend on small, everyday indulgences,” says brand director Kirsten Hadley.

“Bath tissue is one of those things you’re not willing to trade off.”

For soap maker Dial, the call for luxury came from a consumer: During a focus group, a college student observed that if Dial could combine its cleansing with the moisturizing of other brands, it would produce an ideal body wash. The R&D department determined it had major technical hurdles to clear. Building “the perfect formula” (as it came to be known internally) took just over a year. The result, Dial Triple Moisture, “is an opportunity to bring that spa feeling of luxuriously soft skin home,” says Chris Sommer, vice president of marketing.

TURN BACK TIME WITH THE “ANTI-AGING” BREAKTHROUGH EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT! The truth about human growth hormone (HGH): What is it?

Where does it come from? Can you boost it naturally?

And is it really the fountain of youth?

“When you see a 50-year-old actress who can pass for 35, you can bet that good genes aren’t the only things responsible for her youthful glow.”

By Tiffany Strobel *

A

recent Shape magazine article starts out with a very provocative statement: “When you see a 50-year-old actress who can pass for 35, you can bet that good genes aren’t the only things responsible for her youthful glow.” It’s no secret that the rich and famous of Beverly Hills have been turning to Botox® and plastic surgery for years in an attempt to hang on to their youth. But did you know that many among this “it” crowd have been visiting some of the most expensive clinics in the world for controversial human growth hormone (HGH) therapy?

sex drive, give them plenty of energy and get rid of wrinkles... making them look and feel decades – not years, but decades – younger. In fact, some are even calling it the “Fountain of Youth.”

So what exactly is HGH? HGH is a single chain peptide hormone that’s manufactured deep within the brain... in the pituitary gland. It’s released into the bloodstream and travels throughout the body. It passes into your fat cells and can actually cause them to shrink. It enters your muscle cells, stimulating lean muscle growth so you look more tight and toned, even if you haven’t

and why some believe it’s the key to combatting aging. The problem is that while our bodies do manufacture HGH, our levels begin to decline rapidly as we age, and until recently the best way to increase our HGH levels was through expensive prescription injections (costs can run as high as $1500 per month).

In addition to their high cost, these synthetic HGH injections are also extremely controversial, because some experts fear that introducing synthetic HGH into the body may upset the natural production of HGH.

Dr. Oz says:“A recent study [on SeroVital-hgh] showed patients given a special blend of amino acids saw their HGH levels spike more than 6 times...”

Is there a way to increase growth hormone levels naturally?

an “underground” sensation... until the famed Dr. Oz discussed the product’s research on his show.

Until recently, the answer to that question would have been a resounding “No.” However, in September of 2012, a group of some of the most highly respected scientists in the world presented their research findings at the prestigious Obesity Society’s 30th Annual Scientific Meeting. These research results made headlines, because they showed that for the first time, there was an oral compound capable of increasing mean, bioactive, serum (blood) growth hormone levels... by 682%.

He introduced the show segment by asking his audience, “How many of you want to start feeling 20 years younger right now?” and then discussed what he called “a new frontier: stimulating your body’s production of growth hormones naturally with amino acids.”

The formula that was the subject of these research findings is now being sold by SanMedica International™ under the trade name SeroVital™.

And despite its much-hyped research, SeroVital remained

Before long, SanMedica was having trouble keeping SeroVital – with its proprietary, highly specialized, patent-pending amino acid formula – in stock. It went from underground sensation to full-blown phenomenon.

And when Dr. Oz told his audience, “I have been searching for this from the day we started the show. I’ve been looking for ways of increasing HGH naturally because I don’t like getting the injections,” you can imagine the frenzy he started.

Now, after more than 30 years of time-consuming, detailed research, there’s finally an affordable oral formula that encourages the pituitary gland to increase growth hormone production naturally, without dangerous drugs or synthetic hormone injections.

anything for two hours, or take it at night, at least two hours after your last meal... before you go to bed.

They believe HGH reduces body fat, increases lean muscle mass, boosts mood, heightens sex drive, gives them plenty of energy and gets rid of wrinkles...

Is it worth it?

So what’s the catch?

Well, there are three. First, as with HGH injections, SeroVital is not a “magic bullet,” but one part of a healthy lifestyle choice including a sensible diet and exercise regimen.

Second, for proper absorption, you have to take SeroVital-hgh on an empty stomach. That means you either have to take it first thing in the morning and then not eat

And last but not least, while SeroVital is far less expensive than prescription HGH injections, it’s still not cheap... SeroVital will cost you about $100 a month.

To me, anything that may reduce wrinkles, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, strengthen bones, and boost mood, while giving you plenty of energy and improving sex drive, is a no-brainer. However, make no mistake about it, the “established” medical community (and of course, they know everything) would say its benefits are largely anecdotal, with research that’s preliminary. But there’s no denying that something that has a chance of making you look and feel decades, not years, but DECADES, younger, is... at the very least... irresistible. Frankly, I’m ready to try it. How about you?

By Connie Schultz

t has come to my

attention that a lot of you men have no idea what to get your beloved for Valentine’s Day. All right, I’ll help, but first, can we just state the obvious?

You should have come to me weeks ago. Now you’re this closee to buying drugstore candy and pretending that was your plan all along, which is never going to fly with anyone over the age of 6.

You already know this, I’m sure, so I’ll resist pointing out how often men rely on women to rescue them.

Whoops, there I go, pointing it out. Ah, well. Onward.

Let us start with the questly tion my male friends constantly ask: “What do women want?””

This is like asking, “What sizee shoe do women wear?” We’re ny not Smurfs. There are as many answers to that question as there are women waiting for m. men to stop interrupting them.

Speaking of which, I have some good news: Your best Valentine’s gift may cost you nothing. In an unscientific study, conducted on Facebook and with strangers I met in the cereal aisle at Costco, I found that a lot of women would just like a little quiet—from men, to be specific.

Apparently, guys are talking when they should be listening.

Not you, of course, but definitely some guys you know. Let’s pretend it’s you, just to illustrate.

Say your wife starts to vent

Heart of the Matt er Confused men everywhere, relax: Research has revealed what women really, truly want for Valentine’s Day

about a friend’s snide comment about her neck. (Bonus tip: After a certain age, we hate that our necks have more rings than a giant oak. Never mention this.) Instead of nodding sympathetically as she rants, you—again, hypothetically— come up with a 10-point plan to fix a whole part of her life that isn’t broken. Then you get angry when she has the nerve not to thank you.

Don’t do that. For one whole day—let’s make it Valentine’s Day—just act like a bobble head. You might even say, “Wow. How did that make you feel?” Wait until she’s sitting down before you do this. Fan her with a place mat, if necessary.

Also, consider this wish that was shared with me by a woman named Jennifer: “I want to go have a nice dinner with my hubby. Then I

want to come home and watch a chick flick with him. I also want him to have his mouth duct-taped shut so he can’t add commentary to the movie, like he always does.” She added a smiley face. I’m not su sure she meant it.

I think we’re seeing a theme h here: Shhhh.

A word about gifts: I’m not going to tell you to avoid things that plug in. There are women who think love is spelled t-o-a-s-t-e-r.

My friend Esther (not her real name ’cause she’ll have my head) wants a particular brand of vacuum cleaner for Valentine’s Day. For weeks she’s been pasting pictures of it around the house. Finally, her husband threw his hands up and said, “Esther, I don’t care how many hints you give me, I’m not vacuuming.”

See? You’re not alone. If you’re clueless, I mean.

Granted, women aren’t always easy to decipher. We claim we don’t want anything when we do. We say we’re on a diet and you think we mean even on Feb. 14. We insist that Valentine’s Day is a commercial mockery of true love and then wonder why you won’t fork over 20 bucks for a box of candy shaped like nobody’s heart.

No wonder you don’t know what to do for Valentine’s Day. Just send her flowers. Write “love” on the card. Compliment her neck.

You’ll be fine.

How many vegetables have you had today? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant

If someone with a cigarette is walking 10 to 15 feet ahead of me, I can smell the smoke.

But say the person has the flu instead. Can I catch it from the breath he or she is exhaling?

—Odvar Holm, Carlsbad, Calif.

Cigarette smoke lingers in the air, so you can easily smell it as you walk in the wake of a smoker, even outdoors. But influenza viruses are spread primarily with large-particle droplets that don’t remain suspended in the air. They travel only a few feet and then settle. You would have to be walking close behind a person who coughs or sneezes to catch a virus he or she is carrying.

Small-particle transmission (via the residue of evaporated droplets) may be possible because these particles might remain airborne, but data on this is limited. ®

LEGAL NOTICE

To merchants who have accepted Visa and MasterCard at any time since January 1, 2004: Notice of a 6+ billion dollar class action settlement.

Si desea leer este aviso en espaĂąol, llĂĄmenos o visite nuestro sitio web.

Notice of a class action settlement authorized by the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York.

This notice is authorized by the Court to inform you about an agreement to settle a class action lawsuit that may affect you. The lawsuit claims that Visa and MasterCard, separately, and together with banks, violated antitrust laws and caused merchants to pay excessive fees for accepting Visa and MasterCard credit and debit cards, including by: đ°&#x201A;&#x2122;đ°&#x20AC;&#x2022; Agreeing to set, apply, and enforce rules about merchant fees (called default interchange fees); đ°&#x201A;&#x2122;đ°&#x20AC;&#x2022; Limiting what merchants could do to encourage their customers to use other forms of payment through, for example, charging customers an extra fee or offering discounts; and đ°&#x201A;&#x2122;đ°&#x20AC;&#x2022; Continuing that conduct after Visa and MasterCard changed their corporate structures.

The defendants say they have done nothing wrong. They say that their business practices are legal and the result of competition, and have beneďŹ tted merchants and consumers.

The Court has not decided who is right because the parties agreed to a settlement. On November 27, 2012, the Court gave preliminary approval to this settlement.

THE SETTLEMENT Under the settlement, Visa, MasterCard, and the bank defendants have agreed to make payments to two settlement funds:

fund that will pay valid claims of merchants that accepted Visa or MasterCard credit or debit cards at any time between January 1, 2004 and November 28, 2012.

estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion

interchange fees attributable to certain merchants that accept Visa or MasterCard credit cards for an eight-month â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interchange Period.â&#x20AC;?

Additionally, the settlement changes some of the Visa and MasterCard rules applicable to merchants who accept their cards.

This settlement creates two classes: A Cash Settlement Class (Rule 23(b) (3) Settlement Class), which includes all persons, businesses, and other entities that accepted any Visa or MasterCard cards in the U.S. at any time from January 1, 2004 to November 28, 2012, and A Rule Changes Settlement Class (Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class), which includes all persons, businesses, and entities that as of November 28, 2012 or in the future accept any Visa or MasterCard cards in the U.S.

WHAT MERCHANTS WILL GET FROM THE SETTLEMENT Every merchant in the Cash Settlement Class that ďŹ les a valid claim will get money from the $6.05 billion Cash Fund, subject to a deduction (not to exceed 25% of the fund) to account for merchants who exclude themselves from the Cash Settlement Class.

The value of each claim, where possible, will be based on the actual or estimated interchange fees attributable to the merchantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MasterCard and Visa payment card transactions from January 1, 2004 to November 28, 2012.

Payments to merchants who ďŹ le valid claims for a portion of the Cash Fund will be based on: The money available to pay all claims, The total dollar value of all valid claims ďŹ led, The deduction described above not to exceed 25% of the Cash Settlement Fund, and The cost of settlement administration

and notice, money awarded to the class representatives, and attorneysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fees and expenses all as approved by the Court.

In addition, merchants in the Cash Settlement Class that accept Visa and MasterCard during the eight-month Interchange Period and ďŹ le a valid claim will get money from the separate Interchange Fund, estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion. The value of each claim, where possible, will be based on an estimate of one-tenth of 1% of the merchantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Visa and MasterCard credit card dollar sales volume during that period. Payments to merchants who ďŹ le valid claims for a portion of the Interchange Fund will be based on: The money available to pay all claims, The total dollar value of all valid claims ďŹ led, and The cost of settlement administration and notice, and any attorneysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fees and expenses that may be approved by the Court.

Attorneysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fees and expenses and money awarded to the class representatives: For work done through ďŹ nal approval of the settlement by the district court, Class Counsel will ask the Court for attorneysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fees in an amount that is a reasonable proportion of the Cash Settlement Fund, not to exceed 11.5% of the Cash Settlement Fund of $6.05 billion and 11.5% of the Interchange Fund estimated to be $1.2 billion to compensate all of the lawyers and their law ďŹ rms that have worked on the class case. For additional work to administer the settlement, distribute both funds, and through any appeals, Class Counsel may seek reimbursement at their normal hourly rates, not to exceed an additional 1% of the Cash Settlement Fund of $6.05 billion and an additional 1% of the Interchange Fund estimated to be $1.2 billion. Class Counsel will also request reimbursement of their expenses (not including the administrative costs of settlement or notice), not to exceed
