DECLARATION OF IAN DEE

1. I am Vice-President, Business Administration for Sony Music Entertainment

(together with BMG Music, “SME”), located at 550 Madison Avenue, New York, New York,

10022.

2. I make this declaration in support of SME’s application for Class Distribution

Orders: (1) approving SME’s determination of the Authorized Past Claimants under the

Settlements and the allocation of the Past Settlement Relief thereto; (2) directing distribution of

the Past Settlement Relief to Authorized Past Claimants; (3) adopting SME’s identification of

claims that should be wholly or partially rejected; (4) precluding further claims for Past

Settlement Relief; and (5) releasing and discharging all persons involved in the review,

verification, calculation, tabulation, or any other aspect of the processing of the Claim Forms

submitted herein, or otherwise involved in the administration or taxation of the Past Settlement

Relief, from any and all claims arising out of such involvement. Capitalized terms used and not

defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Amended Stipulations and Agreements of

Settlement dated May 24, 2012 (the “Stipulations”).

3. A settlement of the above-captioned actions was proposed pursuant the

Stipulations. This Court entered the Amended Preliminary Order for Notice and Hearing in

Connection with Settlement Proceedings (the “Preliminary Order”) on June 1, 2012,

preliminarily approving the Stipulations and directing that notice of the proposed settlements be

given to the members of the Class. SME distributed the Court-approved Notice and Claim Form

and Amended Notice and Claim Form to the members of the Class. As scheduled in the

Preliminary Order, a hearing was held on October 4, 2012 to consider the settlements pursuant to

the Stipulations. By Orders and Final Judgments entered October 4, 2012, this Court approved

the Settlements as fair, reasonable, and adequate, and directed SME’s counsel and Class Counsel

to administer the Stipulations in accordance with their terms.

PROCEDURES FOLLOWED IN ACCEPTING AND REJECTING CLAIMS

4. Under the terms of the Stipulations, Class Members were required to submit a

Claim Form in order to obtain their share of the Past Settlement Relief. The Claim Form

required Class Members to answer certain questions about their agreements with SME, and

directed Class Members who did not have copies of their contract(s) to request copies of them

through the website www.digitaldownloadclasssettlement.com. The Claim Form further directed


3

Class Members to mail their Claim Forms to: SME and Arista Music Class Settlements, P.O.

Box 43060, Providence, RI 02940-3060.

5. SME used the following procedures to respond to requests for copies of contracts:

a. As described in the Declaration of Jeannine Andreis previously filed on August 3,

2012, SME hired the firm of Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC (“KCC”) to,

among other things, establish the website

www.digitaldownloadclasssettlement.com. KCC also established a toll-free

telephone number and trained the staff members of the KCC Call Center in the

details of the settlement, including the process for requesting copies of contracts.

b. Contract requests submitted through www.digitaldownloadclasssettlement.com

were conveyed electronically directly to SME. KCC also informed SME of

contract requests that were made via the toll-free telephone number or otherwise.

c. Upon receiving a contract request, SME reviewed its files for the requesting

artist’s contracts. Any contracts found were sent in .pdf format via e-mail to the

requesting party. If no contracts were found, the e-mail would so state. If SME

did not have a valid e-mail address for the requestor, SME sent hard copies of the

contract(s) by FedEx, registered, or regular mail to the address provided by the

requestor or in SME’s files.

d. SME maintained a spreadsheet noting each contract request received and the date

SME responded to it.

6. SME used the following procedures to process the Claim Forms and

correspondence submitted in this matter to SME and Arista Music Class Settlements, P.O. Box

43060, Providence, RI 02940-3060:


4

a. KCC maintained the P.O. Box; collected and sorted incoming mail; uploaded

electronic copies of Claim Form submissions, including envelopes, to an FTP site

accessible by SME; and forwarded other incoming mail electronically to SME

and/or its counsel.

b. Upon receiving Claim Forms from KCC, SME recorded the information from

each Claim Form, including the postmark date—or, if unavailable, date of receipt

by KCC—in a computerized spreadsheet.

7. SME used the following procedures to evaluate the facial validity of the Claim

Forms it received:

a. SME reviewed each Claim Form to confirm that it had been mailed by the later of

July 5, 2012 or 45 days from the claimant’s receipt of contracts from SME

pursuant to a timely request for them, as set forth in the Stipulations. Claim forms

with a missing or illegible postmark were deemed timely if received by KCC

within 7 days of the applicable deadline.

b. SME further reviewed each Claim Form to confirm that it indicated on its face

that: (i) the contract(s) in question met the definition of Class Contracts set forth

in the Stipulations (Questions 1-7); and (ii) the Claim Form was submitted by an

artist, company, or producer that signed a recording contract with SME, or by

someone authorized to act on their behalf (Question 8).

c. Pursuant to the Stipulations, Claim Forms that did not meet the qualifications

described in the preceding paragraph were deemed invalid and rejected. If such

Claim Forms indicated that the claimant wished to request copies of her contracts,

SME treated the Claim Forms as contract requests and responded to them as such.


5

In all other cases, SME mailed the claimant a letter describing to the claimant the

defect(s) with the Claim Form, and explaining the procedure available to the

claimant for challenging SME’s determination pursuant to the Stipulations. A

copy of each letter was also sent to Class Counsel.

8. SME used the following procedures to evaluate and respond to the facially-valid

Claim Forms it received:

a. For each facially-valid Claim Form, SME identified and collected the relevant

contracts for review. For Claim Forms that did not specify particular contracts,

SME identified and collected all contracts in SME’s files relating to the particular

artist, company, or producer.

b. SME reviewed each contract to determine whether it met the definition of Class

Contract set forth in the Stipulations, and whether the claimant was otherwise an

Authorized Past Claimant. SME confirmed, for example, that the claimant had

not previously granted SME a release for the entire period of January 1, 2004

through December 31, 2010. See Paragraph 2(b).

c. For Authorized Past Claimants, SME determined the total number of downloads

of recordings attributable to that claimant’s Class Contract(s) that have been sold

in the United States by SME on Apple’s iTunes Store from inception through

December 31, 2010. Artists, companies, or producers with at least 28,500 such

downloads were also determined to be Authorized Future Claimants.1

1 Pursuant to Paragraph 11(b) of the Stipulations, parties may submit Claim Forms for Prospective Settlement Relief through April 6, 2014. SME will apply for a separate Determination Order in connection with the Prospective Settlement Relief.


6

d. SME responded to each facially-valid Claim Form by letter informing the

claimant whether she was an Authorized Past Claimant or Authorized Future

Claimant. The letter identified the agreements that SME determined were Class

Contracts. Where applicable, the letter also identified any of the claimant’s

contracts that SME determined were not Class Contracts, and explained why. If

the Claim Form had been submitted too late to qualify for Past Settlement Relief,

the letter so stated. For Authorized Past Claimants who were not also Authorized

Future Claimants, the letter also explained how they could become eligible for

Prospective Settlement Relief in the future. See Stipulations Paragraph 16(b)(2).

Finally, the letter explained the procedure available to the claimant for

challenging SME’s determination pursuant to the Stipulations. A copy of each

letter was also sent to Class Counsel.

9. SME kept detailed records of the intake, review, and responses to Claim Forms

described above.

10. Attached hereto as Exhibit A are copies of form letters that SME used in

responding to Claim Forms. Most responses closely followed the forms, but SME also

customized them as needed to address issues particular to individual claims.

11. In response to these letters, SME received notice from 25 claimants contesting

SME’s rejection of their claims.2 SME reviewed each of these responses, and any

2 The numbers contained in this paragraph and the three following paragraphs are with respect to claimants who submitted claim forms prior to January 4, 2013, which was 45 days from SME’s last response to a timely request for contracts. The numbers thus capture all claimants who potentially were eligible to participate in the Past Settlement Relief, since any claim form submitted after that date was necessarily outside the deadline for submitting a claim in connection with Past Settlement Relief. As mentioned above, SME will apply for a separate (continued…)

documentation submitted with them. In some cases, SME sought to contact the claimant to

request clarification or additional information. Following this process, SME responded in

writing to each written notice, some of which were resolved in the claimant’s favor. SME is not

aware of any claimants who intend to seek court review of its determinations.

12. In addition to challenges from individual claimants, Class Counsel disputed some

of SME’s determinations. Class Counsel and SME discussed these issues, all of which have

been resolved to the parties’ mutual satisfaction.

ACCEPTED AND REJECTED CLAIMS

13. A total of 1253 Claim Forms have been submitted with respect to 7073 persons or

entities. From these Claim Forms, a total of 108 persons or entities have been determined to be

Authorized Past Claimants.

14. A total of 1153 Claim Forms were rejected in whole or in part. Submitted

herewith as Exhibit B is a schedule listing these Claim Forms, the artist or entity on whose behalf

they were submitted, and the reason(s) for the rejection.

Determination Order in connection with the Prospective Settlement Relief. That application will address all claimants who submit claim forms through the final deadline of April 6, 2014.3 Some claimants submitted multiple claim forms under different names or with respect to different contracts, and in some cases multiple claimants submitted claim forms with respect to the same or similarly-named persons or entities. Where such claim forms qualified for Past Settlement Relief, SME attributed each such claim form to the appropriate single person or entity. SME may not have done so in some instances where such claim forms did not qualify for Past Settlement Relief in any event.


8

DISTRIBUTION OF PAST SETTLEMENT RELIEFAMONG AUTHORIZED PAST CLAIMANTS

15. SME used the following procedures to prepare a proposed accounting of

payments and credits to Authorized Past Claimants for the Past Settlement Relief, pursuant to

Paragraphs 16(a)(1) and 16(a)(2) of the Stipulations:

a. For each Authorized Past Claimant, SME determined: (i) the total number of

downloads sold in the United States by SME on Apple’s iTunes Store from

inception through December 31, 2010 attributable to the Authorized Past

Claimant’s Class Contracts with Sony Music Entertainment (“Sony Class

Contracts”) and Class Contracts with BMG Music (“BMG Class Contracts”),

respectively; and (ii) the total revenue from such permanent digital downloads

attributable to the Authorized Past Claimant’s Sony and BMG Class Contracts.4

b. For Authorized Past Claimants with at least 28,500 total downloads attributable to

Sony Class Contracts, SME calculated the Authorized Past Claimant’s

proportionate share of the Past Settlement Relief set forth in Paragraph 8(a)(1) of

the Sony Settlement Agreement by dividing: (i) the Authorized Past Claimant’s

total revenue from permanent digital downloads of recordings attributable to Sony

Class Contracts; by (ii) the total revenue from permanent digital downloads of

recordings attributable to all Authorized Past Claimants from all of their Sony

4 In accordance with Paragraph 16(a)(1) of the Settlements, revenue from permanent digital downloads of recordings attributed to Class Contracts was in all cases limited to Sales in the United States through Apple’s iTunes Store through December 31, 2010, less any such revenue attributable to any period before December 31, 2010 for which the Authorized Past Claimant has provided SME with a release.


9

Class Contracts. The resulting proposed schedule of payments to these

Authorized Past Claimants is attached as Exhibit C.

c. For Authorized Past Claimants with fewer than 28,500 downloads attributable to

Sony Class Contracts, SME calculated the Authorized Past Claimant’s share of

the Past Settlement Relief set forth in Paragraph 8(a)(2) of the Sony settlement by

dividing the Past Settlement Relief equally among all Authorized Past Claimants

with fewer than 28,500 total downloads of recordings attributable to Sony Class

Contracts and sold in the United States by SME on Apple’s iTunes Store from

inception through December 31, 2010. There were 28 such Authorized Past

Claimants, with $6,830 allocated to each. The resulting proposed schedule of

payments to these Authorized Past Claimants is attached as Exhibit D.

d. For Authorized Past Claimants with at least 28,500 total downloads attributable to

BMG Class Contracts, SME calculated the Authorized Past Claimant’s

proportionate share of the Past Settlement Relief set forth in Paragraph 8(a)(1) of

the BMG Settlement Agreement by dividing: (i) the Authorized Past Claimant’s

total revenue from permanent digital downloads of recordings attributable to

BMG Class Contracts; by (ii) the total revenue from permanent digital downloads

of recordings attributable to all Authorized Past Claimants from all of their BMG

Class Contracts. The resulting proposed schedule of payments to these

Authorized Past Claimants is attached as Exhibit E.

e. For Authorized Past Claimants with fewer than 28,500 downloads attributable to

BMG Class Contracts, SME calculated the Authorized Past Claimant’s share of

the Past Settlement Relief set forth in Paragraph 8(a)(2) of the BMG settlement by


10

dividing the Past Settlement Relief equally among all Authorized Past Claimants

with fewer than 28,500 total downloads of recordings attributable to BMG Class

Contracts and sold in the United States by SME on Apple’s iTunes Store from

inception through December 31, 2010. There were 20 such Authorized Past

Claimants, with $5,438 allocated to each. The resulting proposed schedule of

payments to these Authorized Past Claimants is attached as Exhibit F.

16. In order to allow the final distribution of the Past Settlement Relief, it is necessary

to bar any further claims against the Past Settlement Relief, including any claims by claimants

who submitted claim forms after January 4, 2013, and to provide that all persons involved in the

review, verification, calculation, tabulation, or any other aspect of the processing of the claims

submitted herein, or otherwise involved in the administration of the Past Settlement Relief be

released and discharged from any and all claims arising out of such involvement.

CONCLUSION

17. For the foregoing reasons, it is respectfully requested that this Court enter an

Order: (1) approving SME’s determination of the Authorized Past Claimants under the

settlements and the allocation of the Past Settlement Relief thereto; (2) directing distribution of

the Past Settlement Relief to Authorized Past Claimants; (3) adopting SME’s identification of

claims that should be wholly or partially rejected; (4) precluding further claims for Past

Settlement Relief; and (5) releasing and discharging all persons involved in the review,

verification, calculation, tabulation, or any other aspect of the processing of the Claim Forms

submitted herein, or otherwise involved in the administration or taxation of the Past Settlement

Relief, from any and all claims arising out of such involvement. A proposed Order is attached as

Exhibit G.

Re: ARTIST NAME (CLAIM FORM ID XXXXXXXXX_XXXXXXXX_X)

Sony Music Entertainment (“SME”) has received your claim form related to the class settlements in Shropshire v. Sony Music Entertainment, 06 Civ. 3252 (GBD) (KNF) and Youngbloods v. BMG Music, 07 Civ. 2394 (GBD) (KNF).

This letter is being sent to notify you that SME has determined that you are not an Authorized Past Claimant or Authorized Future Claimant. This means that you have not submitted a valid claim form for the Past Settlement Relief or Prospective Settlement Relief described on pages 2-3 of the Amended Notice of Pendency of Class Actions (available at www.DigitalDownloadClassSettlement.com). SME made this determination because:

Your claim form was not submitted by the later of July 5, 2012 or 45 days from your receipt of contracts from SME in response to a timely request for them, and therefore was too late to qualify for Past Settlement Relief.

Your claim form did not indicate that the original contract or any of its amendments is dated after 1975.

Your claim form did not indicate that the original contract was dated before 2002.

Your claim form did not indicate that the contract or any of its amendments specify that the record label will pay 50% of its receipts from any licenses or leases to third parties.

Your claim form indicated that your contract specifies a royalty rate for digital downloads.

Your responses to claim form questions 8A-D indicated that you are not an authorized representative of the artist (individual or band), producer, or company that signed a recording contract with SME or BMG Music (now known as Arista).

You did not sign your claim form and affirm under penalty of perjury that the information it contains is true and correct to the best of your information and belief.

Your claim form was submitted on behalf of a person or entity that is affiliated with or related to SME or BMG Music (now known as Arista).

Based on the terms of the relevant contract(s), there may be additional reasons why you do not qualify as an Authorized Past Claimant or Authorized Future Claimant, which SME reserves the right to assert.

Dear Mr. / Ms.:

Sony Music Entertainment (“SME”) has received your two claim forms related to the class settlements in Shropshire v. Sony Music Entertainment, 06 Civ. 3252 (GBD) (KNF) and Youngbloods v. BMG Music, 07 Civ. 2394 (GBD) (KNF).


SME has determined that your agreement(s) with SME or BMG Music (now known as Arista), as amended, have been deemed Class Contract(s) as described on page 1 of the Amended Notice of Pendency of Class Actions (available at www.DigitalDownloadClassSettlement.com). This means that you have a valid claim for the Past Settlement Reliefdescribed on pages 2-3 of the Amended Notice of Pendency of Class Actions.

SME has determined, however, that you are not an Authorized Future Claimant in connection with this agreement.SME made this determination because you had fewer than 28,500 total downloads of recordings attributable to the Class Contract and sold in the United States by SME or BMG Music (now known as Arista) on Apple’s iTunes Store from inception through December 31, 2010. This means that you do not qualify for the Prospective Settlement Relief described at page 3 of the Amended Notice of Pendency of Class Actions.

You may become eligible for Prospective Settlement Relief in the future if: (1) you have at least $18,000 of royalty earnings attributable to Sales in the United States of any such recordings on Apple’s iTunes Store within any two consecutive royalty accounting periods after January 1, 2011; and (2) you timely notify SME or Arista of this, and of your right to Prospective Settlement Relief, in writing.

You have a right to contest SME’s determination. To do so, you must comply with Paragraph 19(e) of the Stipulation and Agreements of Settlement. (Copies of the Stipulation and Agreements of Settlement are available in the “Court Documents” sections of the website www.DigitalDownloadClassSettlement.com.)

Dear Mr. / Ms. :

Sony Music Entertainment (“SME”) has received your seven claim forms related to the class settlements in Shropshire v. Sony Music Entertainment, 06 Civ. 3252 (GBD) (KNF) and Youngbloods v. BMG Music, 07 Civ. 2394 (GBD) (KNF).


A. SME has determined that you are not an Authorized Past Claimant. This means that you are not entitled to receive any portion of the Past Settlement Relief described at pages 2-3 of the Amended Notice of Pendency of Class Actions (available at www. DigitalDownloadClassSettlement.com). SME made this determination because your claim form was not submitted by the later of July 5, 2012 or 45 days from your receipt of contracts from SME in response to a timely request for them.

B. SME has determined that you are an Authorized Future Claimant in connection with the agreements listed below, as amended, (to the exclusion of any other agreements you may have):

- Agreement dated _________ between _________ and _____________













C. SME has determined that each agreement listed below, as amended, is not a Class Contract. This means that you do not have a valid claim for the Past Settlement Relief or Prospective Settlement Relief with respect to the following agreement(s):


SME made this determination because these contracts do not contain a clause providing that SME or BMG Music (now known as Arista) will pay 50% of SME’s net receipts in respect of any Master Recording leased or licensed by SME to a third party.


SME made this determination because neither your contract nor any of its amendments is dated before 2002.

SME has determined that each agreement, as amended, listed below (to the exclusion of any other agreements you may have) has been deemed a Class Contract as described on page 1 of the Amended Notice of Pendency of Class Actions (available at www.DigitalDownloadClassSettlement.com):


However, SME has determined that you are not an Authorized Past Claimant. This means that you are not entitled to receive any portion of the Past Settlement Relief described at pages 2-3 of the Amended Notice of Pendency of Class Actions (available at www. DigitalDownloadClassSettlement.com). SME made this determination because your claim form was not submitted by the later of July 5, 2012 or 45 days from your receipt of contracts from SME in response to a timely request for them.

SME has also determined that you are not an Authorized Future Claimant. SME made this determination because you had fewer than 28,500 total downloads of recordings attributable to the Class Contract and sold in the United States by SME or BMG Music (now known as Arista) on Apple’s iTunes Store from inception through December 31, 2010. This means that you do not qualify for the Prospective Settlement Relief described at page 3 of the Amended Notice of Pendency of Class Actions.
