WHEREAS, on May 17, 2005, in a case styled Tamara Barrus v. Dick’s Sporting Goods,
Inc. and Galyan’s Trading Company, Inc., Case No. 6:05-cv-06253-CJS-JWF (“Litigation”),

(“Complaint”) included allegations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and New York
Labor Law;
WHEREAS, on October 13, 2005, Barrus moved for conditional certification for

arising under the laws of particular states.) The Court also dismissed plaintiffs’ ERISA and
RICO claims. Further, the Court dismissed plaintiffs’ common law claims for overtime as
preempted by the FLSA, and the Court dismissed plaintiffs’ remaining state law claims (except
for claims under New York law) without prejudice;

Within 5 business days of the entry of an order granting Preliminary
Approval, in the form attached as Exhibit C, the Parties shall retain a Claims Administrator, who
shall be responsible for claims administration and various other duties described in this
Agreement. The Claims Administrator shall be required to agree in writing to treat information
it receives or generates as part of the claims administration process as confidential and to use
such information solely for purposes of claims administration.
(B)
All fees and expenses of the Claims Administrator shall be paid out of the
Total Settlement Amount, as defined in Section 3.1. The Claims Administrator shall be required
to agree to a reasonable estimate for fees and expenses for claims administration work, and such
estimate shall provide the basis for the reserve described in Section 3.1. Any fees and expenses

and expenses will be paid out of the Total Settlement Amount. In no event shall the Claims
Administrator seek additional fees and expenses after the Fairness Hearing.

The Parties shall also file in each State Action the dismissal papers in the
forms attached as Exhibit J.

The Parties will also file a proposed order in the form attached as Exhibit C. A copy of this
Agreement shall be attached to such proposed order.
(D)
The filings described in this Section shall be made concurrently.
2.3
Continuation of Litigation. If the Court does not grant the order referenced in
Section 2.2(C), the Litigation will resume unless the Parties agree to seek reconsideration or
Court approval of a renegotiated settlement. If the Litigation resumes, the case will proceed as if
no settlement has been attempted, and the Corporate Defendants and Individual Defendants will
retain the right to contest whether this case, as it existed immediately before the Third Amended
Complaint, should be maintained as a class action or collective action and to contest the merits of
all claims being asserted. If the Litigation resumes, Plaintiffs and Class Counsel shall withdraw
the Third Amended Complaint without prejudice, and Plaintiffs shall be able to refile the
complaints in the State Actions within 30 calendar days of the withdrawal of the Third Amended
Complaint. Additionally, if the Litigation resumes, the statutes of limitations for the claims
asserted in each State Action complaint shall be tolled between the withdrawal of the Third
Amended Complaint and the refiling of the complaint in that State Action (for a maximum
tolling period of 30 calendar days). In the event that the Third Amended Complaint is
withdrawn pursuant to this Section or any other Section(s) of this Agreement, no Party shall
argue that the Corporate Defendants’ and Individual Defendants’ consent to the filing of the
Third Amended Complaint or the withdrawal of the Third Amended Complaint has any bearing
on the merits of any subsequent litigation of the matters alleged in the Litigation.
2.4
Notice to Class Members.
(A)

Approval, in the form attached as Exhibit C, Defendants will provide the Claims Administrator

prepaid, the final versions of the (i) Subclass Member Documents (to each Subclass Member

The Claims Administrator shall take all reasonable steps necessary to
obtain the correct address of any Subclass Members and/or Opt-Ins for whom the Subclass

correct addresses are obtained, the Claims Administrator shall attempt to remail the Documents,
except that the Claims Administrator shall attempt no such remailings more than 40 calendar
days after the Initial Mailing Deadline. The Claims Administrator shall notify Class Counsel and
Defendants’ Counsel of any Documents returned by the post office as undeliverable.
2.5
Opt-Out.
(A)
Any Subclass Member (other than Plaintiffs) may request exclusion from
the Subclasses, and any Opt-In may request exclusion from the FLSA Class, by “opting out.” To
do so, (i) a Subclass Member who is not an Opt-In must submit a written and signed request for
exclusion to the Claims Administrator, in the form of the Opt-Out Statement attached as Exhibit
E, and (ii) an Opt-In must submit a written and signed request for exclusion to the Claims
Administrator, in the form of the Opt-Out Statement attached as Exhibit I.
(B)
To be effective, an Opt-Out Statement must be postmarked no later than a
date to be specified on the Notice of Proposed Class Action Lawsuit and Fairness Hearing, in the
form of Exhibit D (for Subclass Members who are not Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs) or Exhibit H (for
Opt-Ins). This date will be 45 calendar days after the Initial Mailing Deadline, and the period of
time between the Initial Mailing Deadline and this date shall be referred to as the “Opt-Out
Period.”
(C)
The Claims Administrator shall stamp the postmark date on the original of
each Opt-Out Statement that it receives. Within 3 business days of its receipt thereof, the Claims
Administrator shall send to Class Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel copies of each such Opt-Out
Statement. This obligation shall be on-going, regardless of whether the Opt-Out Statement is
effective or not.
(D)
Within 10 calendar days after the end of the Opt-Out Period, the Claims
Administrator shall send to Class Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel a final list of all persons
who timely submitted Opt-Out Statements. The Claims Administrator shall retain the originals
of all envelopes accompanying Opt-Out Statements in its files until such time as the Claims
Administrator is relieved of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

2.6
Excessive Opt-Outs. In the event that 500 or more effective Opt-Out Statements
are submitted, the Defendants shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to void this
Agreement, by filing with the Court of a Notice of Withdrawal. In no event shall the Defendants
file such a Notice of Withdrawal later than 21 calendar days after the end of the Opt-Out Period.
If the Defendants file a timely Notice of Withdrawal, the Litigation will proceed as if no
settlement had been attempted. In that event, the Court will enter an order decertifying any and
all settlement classes and Plaintiffs will withdraw the Third Amended Complaint without
prejudice and shall have 30 calendar days after such withdrawal to refile the complaints in the
State Actions. The statutes of limitations for the claims in each State Action complaint shall be
tolled for a maximum of 30 calendar days to allow for such refilings. Further, in the event of a
withdrawal pursuant to this Section, the Corporate Defendants and Individual Defendants retain
the right to contest whether this Litigation, as it existed immediately before the Third Amended
Complaint, should be maintained as a class action or collective action and to contest the merits of
the claims being asserted by Plaintiffs in this action.

Objections To Settlement.
(A)
Subclass Members and Opt-Ins (other than those Subclass Members
and/or Opt-Ins who have opted out pursuant to Section 2.5) may present objections to the
proposed settlement. To do so, the individual must present his or her objections to the Claims
Administrator in writing. To be considered, such objections must be sent to the Claims
Administrator via First-Class United States mail, postage prepaid; they must be postmarked no
later than 45 calendar days after the Initial Mailing Deadline; and they must be received by the
Claims Administrator no later than 7 calendar days after the end of the Opt-Out Period. The
Claims Administrator shall stamp the postmark date and the date received on the original of any
such objection. Additionally, the Claims Administrator shall send copies of each objection to the
Parties by e-mail and overnight delivery not later than 2 business days after receipt thereof. The
Claims Administrator shall also file the stamped originals of any and all objections with the
Clerk of Court within 10 calendar days after the end of the Opt-Out Period.
(B)
An objector also has the right to appear at the Fairness Hearing either in
person or through counsel hired by the objector. An objector who wishes to appear at the
Fairness Hearing must state his or her intention to do so at the time he/she submits his/her
written objections to the Claims Administrator. An objector may withdraw his/her objections
only with the approval of the Court. No Subclass Member or Opt In may appear at the Fairness
Hearing unless he or she has filed a timely objection that complies with the procedures provided
in Section 2.8(A).
(C)
The Parties may file with the Court written responses to any filed
objections not later than 14 calendar days before the Fairness Hearing.
2.9
Motion for Judgment and Final Approval. Subject to Section 2.6, not later
than 30 calendar days after the end of the Opt-Out Period, the Parties will file a Motion for
Judgment and Final Approval requesting: (1) an order (in the form of the order attached as
Exhibit B) granting final certification of the Subclasses and the FLSA Class, and final approval
of this Agreement, including a ruling that the Agreement is final, fair, reasonable, adequate and
binding on Plaintiffs and on all Class Members who have not timely opted out pursuant to
Section 2.5; (2) the entry of judgment (in the form attached as Exhibit A) in accordance with this
Agreement; and (3) dismissal of the Litigation with prejudice. The Parties’ Motion for Judgment
and Final Approval will be considered separate and apart from the Court’s consideration of any
applications for attorneys’ fees and costs and/or service payments, and the Court’s ruling on any
such separate applications will not terminate this Agreement or otherwise affect the Court’s
ruling on the Motion for Judgment and Final Approval.
2.10 Effect of Failure to Grant Judgment and Final Approval. In the event the
Court fails to enter an order and a judgment in the forms referenced in Exhibits A and B, or that
order and judgment fail to become Final, the Litigation will resume unless the Parties jointly
agree to: (1) seek reconsideration or appellate review of the decision denying entry of judgment,
or (2) attempt to renegotiate the settlement and seek Court approval of the renegotiated
settlement. In the event any reconsideration and/or appellate review is denied, or a mutually
agreed upon settlement is not approved:

The Litigation will proceed as if no settlement has been attempted. In that
event, the Subclasses and the FLSA Class, which were certified for purposes of settlement, shall
be decertified, the Third Amended Complaint shall be withdrawn by Plaintiffs, and the Corporate
Defendants and Individual Defendants retain the right to contest whether this Litigation, as it
existed immediately before the filing of the Third Amended Complaint, should be maintained as
a class action or collective action and to contest the merits of the claims being asserted in this
action. Plaintiffs shall have a maximum of 30 calendar days of tolling, as provided and
described in Section 2.3, to refile the State Action complaints.
(B)
The Court will provide notice to those individuals to whom the Claims
Administrator sent the Documents that the Agreement did not receive final approval and that, as
a result, no payments will be made to any person under the Agreement. Such notice shall be
mailed by the Claims Administrator via First Class United States Mail, postage prepaid, to the
addresses used by the Claims Administrator in mailing the Documents.
(C)
The Parties will share in equal parts the fees and expenses of the Claims
Administrator.

CONSIDERATION
3.1
Total Settlement Amount.
(A)
Defendants agree to pay, at the time or times prescribed by Section 5(D)
of this Agreement, a maximum of $15,000,000.00 (“Settlement Amount”), which shall cover,
resolve, and fully satisfy any and all amounts due under this Agreement, including: (1)
Settlement Payments (as defined in Section 3.4) to be paid to Qualified Class Members; (2)
attorneys’ fees and costs approved by the Court; (3) court-approved service payments to certain
individuals; and (4) the reserve set aside for reasonable costs of settlement administration.
Settlement Payments and service payments shall constitute a special award to the FLSA Class,
Subclasses, and to the individuals therein receiving a payment and shall not be considered as a
payment of overtime, salary, wages, and/or compensation under the terms of any company
benefit plan or for any purpose except for tax purposes as described in Section 3.5. Under no
circumstances will Defendants be required to pay more than $15,000,000.00, other than interest
amounts accruing as described in Section 3.1(B) and amounts due to cover DSG’s share of
payroll taxes as described in Section 5(D).
(B)
The Settlement Amount shall accrue no interest so long as the Court enters
Final Approval on or before June 15, 2011. If the Court has not entered Final Approval on or
before June 15, 2011, the Settlement Amount, which shall remain the property of the Defendants
until paid at the time or times prescribed by Section 5(D) of this Agreement, shall begin accruing
interest as of June 16, 2011 and up until and including the date of the Fairness Hearing, at the
rate of 0.40% per annum calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days
elapsed. The Settlement Amount, plus any interest accrued on the Settlement Amount, net of
any applicable taxes on such interest, is the “Total Settlement Amount”.

Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.
(A)
At the Fairness Hearing, Class Counsel shall petition the Court for
payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees from the common fund in an amount equal to no more
than 33.33% of the Settlement Amount, plus reimbursement of reasonable litigation costs. The
Corporate Defendants and Individual Defendants will not oppose such a fee and cost application.
Class Counsel understand and agree that the fee and cost award by the Court shall supersede and
extinguish, as of the Effective Date, any prior agreement between Class Counsel and any
Plaintiff (and/or, as the case may be, other Class Member) concerning attorneys fees and costs
associated with the Litigation and/or State Actions, and it shall be the full, final, and complete
payment of all attorneys’ fees and costs associated with Class Counsel’s representation of the
Subclasses and FLSA Class and, to the extent applicable, any of its members in connection with
the Litigation and the State Actions. The Corporate Defendants and Individual Defendants (as
well as all others as to whom claims are released in Section 4) shall have no additional liability
for any fees and costs associated with the Litigation or State Actions.
(B)
Any attorneys fees and costs approved by the Court shall be paid from the
Total Settlement Amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(A), and in accordance with
the requirements and procedures defined in Sections 3.5 and 5 of this Agreement and applicable
law, the Claims Administrator shall distribute to Thomas & Solomon LLP the amounts approved
by the Court for reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. If the Court denies Class Counsel’s
petition for fees and costs, in whole or in part, any amount not awarded to Class Counsel will
remain part of the common fund eligible for distribution to Class Members as part of the
Settlement Payments described in Section 3.4.
3.3
Service Payments.
(A)
At the Fairness Hearing, Plaintiffs and Opt-Ins will apply for the following
service payments from the Total Settlement Amount:
(1)
For Barrus, Caulkins, Little and D’Agostino, the original named
plaintiffs in the Litigation, $20,000.00 each;
(2)
For any Plaintiffs or, provided they do not opt out, Opt-Ins who
were deposed in this action, $5,000.00 each. A list of such individuals is attached hereto as
Exhibit K.
(3)
For any Plaintiffs or, provided they do not opt out, Opt-Ins who
submitted an affidavit in connection with this action, $2,500.00 each. A list of such individuals
is attached hereto as Exhibit L.
(4)
For any Plaintiffs who served as named plaintiffs in the State
Actions or the Litigation, $1,000.00 each. A list of such individuals is attached hereto as Exhibit
M.
(5)
For each Opt-In (provided he or she does not opt out), $100.00
each. A list of such individuals is attached hereto as Exhibit N.

(B)
The Corporate Defendants and Individual Defendants will not oppose the
application for service payments by Plaintiffs and Opt-Ins described in Section 3.3(A).
(C)
Any service payments approved by the Court shall be paid from the Total
Settlement Amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(A), and in accordance with the
requirements and procedures defined in Sections 3.5 and 5 of this Agreement and applicable law,
the Claims Administrator shall distribute to the appropriate payees the amounts approved by the
Court for service payments. If the Court denies the petition for service payments, in whole or in
part, any amount not awarded will remain part of the common fund eligible for distribution to
Class Members as part of the Settlement Payments described in Section 3.4.
3.4
Settlement Payments.
(A)
The Claims Administrator shall calculate “Settlement Payments” for all
Plaintiffs, Opt-Ins , and other Class Members as follows:
(1)
The Claims Administrator shall determine a “Net Settlement
Amount,” which shall equal the Total Settlement Amount minus the reserve set aside for the
reasonable costs for settlement administration (see Section 3.1(A)), the amount that the Court
awards Class Counsel for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of costs (see Section 3.2(A)), and
the amount that the Court awards as service payments (see Section 3.3).
(2)
The Claims Administrator shall determine an “Individual
Numerator” for each Class Member using data that Defendants will provide under Section 5.
(a)
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4(A)(2)(b), an
individual’s Individual Numerator shall equal, (i) the number of any full weeks
that the individual worked as a non-exempt retail store Associate at DSG and/or
Galyan’s in a Covered State during the Covered Period applicable to that
individual (see Section 1.4), plus the number of any full weeks not covered by the
immediately preceding clause that the individual worked as a non-exempt retail
store associate at DSG and/or Galyan’s during the Covered Period applicable to
the FLSA Class (see Section 1.5) (the number of full weeks referenced in this
clause (i) shall be referred to as “Tenure”), multiplied by (ii) that individual’s
average hourly base rate of pay during the weeks described in clause (i) above.
For those Class Members who worked less than one full week as a non-exempt
retail store Associate at DSG and/or Galyan’s during the applicable Covered
Periods, they shall be credited with one full week of Tenure for purposes of this
Section 3.4.
(b)
For any Class Member:
(i)
who was employed by DSG as a non-exempt retail
store Associate on September 15, 1996 in Illinois or Ohio and had
positive earnings in the first pay period after September 15, 1996,
or
NYI-4343097v4
17
Filed 01/28/11 Page 18 of 255
(ii)
who was employed by Galyan’s as a non-exempt
retail store Associate on June 23, 2002 in Connecticut, Florida,
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Nebraska, New York, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West
Virginia, or Wisconsin and had positive earnings in the first pay
period after June 23, 2002,
the Individual Numerator shall equal the greater of the number
determined in Section 3.4(A)(2)(a), or the product of that
individual’s average hourly base rate of pay as determined in
clause (ii) of Subsection 3.4(A)(2)(a) multiplied by the average
Tenure of all Class Members.
(3)
The Claims Administrator shall determine a “Total Denominator”
by adding together each Class Member’s Individual Numerator.
(4)
The Claims Administrator shall determine a “Distribution
Percentage” for each Class Member by dividing each such person’s Individual Numerator by the
Total Denominator.
(5)
The Claims Administrator shall determine a Settlement Payment
for each Class Member by multiplying each such person’s Distribution Percentage by the Net
Settlement Amount.
(B)
All Settlement Payments shall be paid from the Total Settlement Amount.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(A), and in accordance within the requirements and
procedures defined in Sections 3.5 and 5 of this Agreement and applicable law, the Claims
Administrator shall distribute to Qualified Class Members the Settlement Payments. Any
amounts remaining from the Net Settlement Amount after such distribution will revert to
Defendants. Specifically, Settlement Payments for Class Members who are not Qualified Class
Members and any unused portions of the reserve for claims administration will revert to
Defendants.
3.5
Taxability of Payments.
(A)
On the date this Agreement is filed with the Court, the Defendants will
deposit the Settlement Amount into a separate bank account. Following the Effective Date, the
Defendants will transfer the funds described in Section 5(D) of this Agreement into one or more
Qualified Settlement Funds (“QSFs”), within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.468B-1, et
seq. In connection with the foregoing, the following definitions shall apply:
(1)
The Defendants shall be “transferors” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation § 1.468B-1(d)(1) to the QSF(s) with respect to the amounts transferred;
(2)
The Claims Administrator shall be the “administrator” of the
QSF(s) within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.468B-2(k)(3), responsible for causing the
filing of all tax returns required to be filed by or with respect to the QSF(s), paying from the

information reporting or tax withholding requirements imposed by Treasury Regulation
§ 1.468B-2(1)(2) or any other applicable law on or with respect to the QSFs, and in accordance
with Section 3.5(B) of this Agreement; and
(3)
The Defendants and the Claims Administrator shall reasonably
cooperate in providing any statements or making any elections or filings necessary or required by
applicable law for satisfying the requirements for qualification as a QSF, including the relationback election within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.468B-1(j).
(B)
For tax purposes, with respect to the Settlement Payments:
(1)
The Claims Administrator, as the administrator of the QSF making
such payments, shall report 50% of the respective Settlement Payments made to the respective
payees (collectively “Employees”) pursuant to Section 3.4 as wages of the Employees to the
respective Employees and to the United States Internal Revenue Service and to other appropriate
taxing authorities (“Taxing Authority” or “Taxing Authorities”) on a Form W-2. This portion of
the Settlement Payments (the “Wage Portion”) shall be subject to applicable employment taxes
and withholding taxes, as determined by the Claims Administrator as administrator of the QSF
making such payments.
(2)
The other half of the respective Settlement Payments is
compensation for alleged liquidated damages and interest, and the Claims Administrator, as the
administrator of the QSF making such payments, shall report such amounts as such to the
respective Employees and to the Taxing Authorities on a Form 1099. This portion of the
Settlement Payments (the “Non-Wage Portion”) shall not be subject to backup withholding or
other applicable tax withholding unless required by law, as determined by the Claims
Administrator as administrator of the QSF making such payments.
(3)
In the event that it is subsequently determined by any Taxing
Authority that any Employee owes any additional taxes with respect to any money distributed
under this Agreement, it is expressly agreed that liability for such taxes rests exclusively with
that Employee and that the Corporate Defendants and Individual Defendants will not be
responsible for the payment of such taxes, including any interest and penalties.
(C)
The Claims Administrator, as the administrator of the QSF making such
payments, shall report to the respective payees and to the Taxing Authorities on a Form 1099 any
service payments made pursuant to Section 3.3, and such payments will not be subject to backup
or other tax withholding unless required by law, as determined by the Claims Administrator as
administrator of the QSF making such payments.
(D)
The Claims Administrator, as the administrator of the QSF making such
payments, shall report to Thomas & Solomon LLP and to the Taxing Authorities on a Form
1099, under Thomas & Solomon LLP’s federal taxpayer identification number, the fees and
costs paid to Class Counsel pursuant to Section 3.2, and such payments will not be subject to
backup or other tax withholding unless required by law, as determined by the Claims
Administrator as administrator of the QSF making such payments.

The Defendants shall have no liability or responsibility whatsoever for
taxes of the QSFs, any Class Member, Class Counsel, or any other person or the filing of any tax
returns, information reports or other documents with the Internal Revenue Service or any other
taxing authority with respect thereto. Recipients of any payments made pursuant to this
Agreement will be solely responsible for all taxes, interest and penalties owed by such recipients
with respect thereto, and will indemnify, defend, and hold the Corporate Defendants and
Individual Defendants and the Claims Administrator harmless from and against any and all taxes
and interest as a result of such recipient’s failure to timely pay such taxes.
(F)
Plaintiffs, on behalf of the FLSA Class and Subclasses, acknowledge and
agree that the Corporate Defendants and Individual Defendants have provided no advice as to the
taxability of the payments received pursuant to this Agreement.

equal to DSG’s share of payroll taxes on the Wage Portion of the Settlement Payments to
Qualified Class Members. This transfer shall be subject to Section 3.5(A) of this Agreement and
applicable law, and it shall be made with the consent of the Claims Administrator (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(E)
pursuant to Section 5(C), the Claims Administrator will transfer by electronic means to Thomas

payment described in Section 3.2.
(F)
pursuant to Section 5(C), the Claims Administrator will mail to the appropriate payees checks
representing the payments described in Sections 3.3 and 3.4. The Claims Administrator will also
mail the associated tax forms described in Sections 3.5(B) & (C).
(G)
The Claims Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to make a second
mailing to persons whose checks are returned because of incorrect addresses. Such efforts shall
include using social security numbers to obtain better address information and attempting to call
such persons. Any additional efforts undertaken shall be in the sole discretion of the Claims
Administrator. All efforts of the Claims Administrator to send checks shall cease no later than 2
months after the Claims Administrator makes the initial mailing of the checks. Any check not
cashed by the payee within 90 days after the Claims Administrator makes the initial mailing of
that check shall be void. Payment may be stopped on such check, and the amount thereof shall

ORDER CONFIRMING CERTIFICATION OF CLASS/COLLECTIVE
ACTION AND GRANTING FINAL APPROVAL TO SETTLEMENT[,]
[AND GRANTING CLASS COUNSEL’S’ MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES][,]
[AND GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ & OPT-INS’ MOTION FOR SERVICE PAYMENTS]
On [DATE], the parties to this action entered into a Global Settlement Agreement
(“Settlement Agreement”), and on [DATE] they applied for preliminary approval of that
agreement and the terms thereof. On [DATE], this Court granted preliminary approval to the
Settlement Agreement, conditionally certified the FLSA Class, and provisionally certified the
Subclasses under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This Court subsequently
directed that notice of the Settlement Agreement, its terms, and the applicable procedures and
schedules be provided to proposed members of the FLSA Class and to the Subclasses. All OptIns and absent Subclass Members were given an opportunity to object to the settlement and/or
opt out of it.
NYI-4341559v6
Filed 01/28/11 Page 31 of 255
On [DATE], the parties jointly filed a Motion for Order Confirming Certification of the
Subclasses and FLSA Class and Granting Final Approval of the Settlement (“Final Approval
Motion”). This Court held a hearing on that motion on [DATE].
And on [DATE], Class Counsel filed a Motion for an Award of Attorneys Fees and
Reimbursement of Costs. Also on [DATE], Plaintiffs and Opt-Ins filed a separate Motion for
Award of Service Payments. Defendants did not oppose either motion, which the Parties agree
are to be considered by the Court separately from the Final Approval Motion. This Court held a
hearing on Plaintiffs’ and Class Counsel’s separate motions on [DATE].
[PARAGRAPHS 1-13 ARE PROPOSED BY ALL PARTIES AND RELATE SOLELY TO
THE FINAL APPROVAL MOTION:]
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, upon consideration of the Settlement
Agreement, the Final Approval Motion, as well as the Parties’ briefs, declarations, and oral
arguments in support of that motion, and the proceedings in this action to date, as follows:
1.
Except as otherwise specified herein, the Court for purposes of this Order adopts
all defined terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement.
2.
This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this litigation and all matters
relating thereto, and over all Parties.
3.
This Court confirms as final its provisional certification under Fed. R. Civ. P.

and the FLSA Class.
5.
The Court confirms as final its conditional designation of the FLSA Class as an
FLSA collective action pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 216(b), for purposes of settlement. The Court
finds that certain individuals (including Plaintiffs) have opted in to this FLSA Class, and that
these individuals are similarly situated for purposes of settlement, and the Court therefore
certifies the FLSA Class as a collective action. The FLSA Class raises the FLSA class claims
asserted in the Third Amended Complaint.

Settlement Agreement or any other papers filed with this Court in connection with the settlement
shall be deemed an admission of any kind by any of the Parties or used as evidence against, or

The Subclass Member Documents and Opt-In Documents (as defined in the
Settlement Agreement) given, respectively, to the Subclass Members and Opt-Ins, pursuant to
this Court’s [DATE] Order, constituted the best notice practicable under the circumstances, was
accomplished in all material respects, and fully met the requirements of Rule 23 of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure, due process, the United States Constitution and any other applicable
law.
8.
This Court grants final approval to the Settlement Agreement and the settlement
set forth therein. The Court finds that the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate in all
respects and that it is binding on Plaintiffs and all Opt-Ins and Subclass Members who did not
timely opt out pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Court’s [DATE] Order and the
Settlement Agreement. A list of Opt-Ins and Subclass Members who timely opted out is
attached to the Final Judgment as Exhibit A. [DELETE PRECEDING SENTENCE IF NO
CLASS MEMBERS OPT OUT.] The Court specifically finds that the settlement is rationally
related to the strength of the claims in this case given the risk, expense, complexity, and duration
of further litigation. This Court also finds that the Settlement Agreement is the result of arms-

length negotiations between experienced counsel representing the interests of the Plaintiffs and
Defendants, after thorough factual and legal investigation.
9.
The Court finds the proposed plan of allocation is rationally related to the relative
strengths and weaknesses of the respective claims asserted. The mechanisms and procedures set
forth in the Settlement Agreement by which Settlement Payments are to be calculated and made
to Plaintiffs and Class Members filing timely claims are fair, reasonable and adequate, and
payment shall be made according to those allocations and pursuant to the procedure set forth in
the Settlement Agreement. The Court finds that the reserve set aside for the costs of settlement
administration is reasonable and is approved.
10.
One person who filed an opt-in statement to join the action, Charles Johnson, does
not fall within the definition of the FLSA Class or any of the Subclasses. His claims are
dismissed without prejudice. [IF OTHERS FALL OUTSIDE THE DEFINITIONS ARE
IDENTIFIED, CHANGE PARAGRAPH 10 TO READ: The following people filed an opt-in
statement to join the action but do not fall within the definition of the FLSA Class or any of the
Subclasses: Charles Johnson, [NAMES]. The claims of these individuals are dismissed without
prejudice.]
11.
By operation of the entry of this Order, all claims described in Section 4 of the
Settlement Agreement, and in the Claim Form and Individual Release executed by certain
members of the Subclasses and the FLSA Class, are fully, finally and forever released,
relinquished and discharged. The Court has reviewed the documents referenced above and finds
all of these releases to be fair, reasonable, and enforceable under the FLSA and Fed. R. Civ. P.
23 and all other applicable law.

An award of attorneys’ fees equal to no more than 33.33% of the Settlement
Amount, plus reimbursement of reasonable litigation costs, is approved. Such award is
reasonable in light of the effort expended and risks undertaken by Class Counsel, and the results
of such efforts including the ultimate recovery obtained.
15.
This fee award shall supersede and extinguish any prior agreement between Class
Counsel and any Plaintiff and/or other Class Member concerning attorneys fees and costs
associated with the Litigation and/or State Actions, and it shall be the full, final, and complete
payment of all attorneys’ fees and costs associated with Class Counsel’s representation of the

Plaintiffs assert state law claims for overtime pay and unpaid wages on behalf of the

II.
DESIGNATION OF THE FLSA CLASS AS AN FLSA COLLECTIVE ACTION
The Court finds that the members of the FLSA Class are similarly situated within the
meaning of Section 16(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 216(b), for purposes of
determining whether the terms of settlement are fair. Accordingly, the Court conditionally
certifies the FLSA Class as an FLSA collective action.
III.
RULE 23 CERTIFICATION OF THE SUBCLASSES
In examining potential provisional certification of the Subclasses, the Court has
considered: (1) the allegations, information, arguments, and authorities cited in the Motion and
supporting papers; (2) the allegations, information, arguments, and authorities provided by the
Parties in connection with the pleadings and other motions filed by each of them in this case; (3)
Defendants’ conditional agreement, for settlement purposes only, not to oppose provisional
certification of the Subclasses; (4) the terms of the Agreement; and (5) the elimination of the
need, on account of the settlement, for the Court to consider any potential trial manageability
issues that might otherwise bear on the propriety of class certification.
In connection with its provisional certification of the Subclasses, the Court makes the
following findings:
(a)
The Subclasses are sufficiently numerous that joinder of all class members is
impracticable;
(b)
There are questions of law or fact common to the members of each Subclass,
including whether the class members were paid for all time worked;
(c)
The Subclass representatives’ claims are typical of the claims of the members of
the respective Subclasses in that each Class representative raises the same claims
as the class members of the particular Subclass that he or she seeks to represent;
NYI-4341585v6
10
(d)
Filed 01/28/11 Page 48 of 255
The Subclass representatives can fairly and adequately represent their respective
Subclass’ interests, in that (1) Subclass representatives have retained counsel who
are qualified and experienced in the issues raised in this litigation, and (2) none of
the Subclass representatives has any apparent interest antagonistic to the interests
of the classes that they seek to represent.
The Court further concludes that the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
23(b)(3) are satisfied because questions of law and fact common to the members of the
Subclasses predominate over any questions affecting only individual members and because a
settlement class is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of
this matter.
Therefore, solely for the purpose of determining whether the terms of settlement are fair,
reasonable, and adequate, the Court provisionally certifies, pursuant to Rules 23(a) and (b)(3) of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Subclasses as defined above. The Court authorizes that
notice be mailed to potential members of the Subclasses.

V.
DISPOSITION IF SETTLEMENT DOES NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE
If, for any reason, the Agreement does not become effective, Defendants’ agreement not
to oppose certification of settlement classes in this case shall be null and void in its entirety; this
Order provisionally certifying the Subclasses and conditionally certifying the FLSA Class shall
be vacated; the Parties shall return to their respective positions in this lawsuit as those positions
existed immediately before the Parties executed the Agreement and before the filing of the Third
Amended Complaint; and nothing stated in the Agreement, the Motion, this Order, or in any
attachments to the foregoing documents shall be deemed an admission of any kind by any of the
Parties or used as evidence against, or over the objection of, any of the Parties for any purpose in
this action or in any other action. In particular, the FLSA Class, conditionally certified for
purposes of settlement, and the Subclasses, provisionally certified for purposes of settlement,
shall be decertified, and the Corporate Defendants and Individual Defendants will retain the right
to contest whether this case, as it existed before the Third Amended Complaint, should be
maintained as a class action and/or a collective action and to contest the merits of all claims in
the case.
VI.
PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT
The Court has reviewed the terms of the Agreement, and the description of the Parties’
settlement in the Parties’ Motion and supporting papers. Based on that review, the Court
NYI-4341585v6
13
Filed 01/28/11 Page 51 of 255
concludes that the Agreement has no obvious defects, and the Parties’ settlement is within the
range of possible settlement approval. The Corporate Defendants have committed to pay up to
and including $15,000,000 to settle this matter, a commitment that provides adequate
consideration for the releases of claims in this case. As to the proposed plan of allocation
contained in the Agreement, the Court finds that the proposed plan is rationally related to the
relative strengths and weaknesses of the respective claims asserted. Specifically, Plaintiffs
strongly contend that off-the-clock work was prevalent and widespread among the hourly
employees of DSG and Galyan’s, whereas Defendants strongly contend that off-the-clock work
was non-existent or, at most, isolated and sporadic. As such, the Parties have agreed to a claimsmade process, under which only persons who attest that they in fact worked without
compensation during the relevant time frame will receive a settlement payment. Thus, while
Defendants have exposed themselves to payments of as much as $15,000,000, they will not be
obligated to make payments to class members who do not claim, under oath, that they suffered
from the wrongs alleged in this case. This is a fair and reasonable provision, and the parties’
proposed plan of distribution is well within the range of possible approval. Accordingly, the
Court hereby grants preliminary approval of the Agreement.
VII.
APPROVAL OF THE FORM AND MANNER OF NOTICE
The Parties have submitted for this Court’s approval a proposed Notice to Subclass
Members who are not Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs (the “Subclass Member Notice”) (Exhibit D to the
Agreement), a proposed Notice to Opt-Ins (the “Opt-In Notice”) (Exhibit H to the Agreement),
an Opt-Out Statement to Subclass Members are not Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs (Exhibit E to the
Agreement), an Opt-Out Statement to Opt-Ins (Exhibit I to the Agreement), and a Claim Form
and Individual Release (Exhibit F to the Agreement). The Parties propose distributing to
Subclass Members who are not Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs (1) the Subclass Member Notice, (2) the
NYI-4341585v6
14
Filed 01/28/11 Page 52 of 255
Opt-Out Statement to Subclass Members who are not Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs, and (3) the Claim
Form and Individual Release. The Parties propose distributing to Opt-Ins (1) the Opt-In Notice
and (2) the Opt-Out Statement to Opt-Ins. The Court now considers each of these documents.
The proposed Subclass Member Notice and Opt-In Notice appear to be the best notice
practical under the circumstances and appear to allow the Subclass Members and Opt-Ins a full
and fair opportunity to consider the Parties’ proposed settlement and develop a response. The
proposed plan for distributing both the Subclass Member Notice (along with the Opt-Out
Statement to Subclass Members who are not Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs, and the Claim Form and
Individual Release, which will accompany the Subclass Member Notice), as well as the Opt-In
Notice (along with the Opt-Out Statement to Opt-Ins) likewise appears to be a reasonable
method calculated to reach all members of the Subclasses who would be bound by the
settlement.
The Subclass Member Notice, the Opt-In Notice, the Opt-Out Statement to Subclass
Members who are not Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs, and the Opt-Out Statement to Opt-Ins fairly, plainly,
accurately, and reasonably inform members of the FLSA Class and the Subclasses of: (1)
appropriate information about the nature of this litigation, the class, the identity of Class
Counsel, and the essential terms of the Agreement and settlement; (2) appropriate information
about Class Counsel’s forthcoming application for attorneys’ fees, the proposed service
payments, and other payments that will be deducted from the settlement fund; (3) appropriate
information about how to participate in the settlement; (4) appropriate information about this
Court’s procedures for final approval of the Agreement and settlement; (5) appropriate
information about how to object to or opt-out of the settlement, if they wish to do so; and (6)
appropriate instructions as to how to obtain additional information regarding the litigation, the
NYI-4341585v6
15
Filed 01/28/11 Page 53 of 255
Agreement, and the settlement. Similarly, the proposed Claim Form and Individual Release
appears to allow members of the Subclasses who are not Opt-Ins a full and fair opportunity to
submit a claim for proceeds in connection with the settlement. Moreover, the Claim Form and
Individual Release fairly, accurately, and reasonably informs Subclass Members who are not
Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs that failure to complete and submit a Claim Form, in the manner and time
specified, shall constitute a waiver of any right to obtain any share of the Settlement Payment.
The Court, having reviewed the proposed Subclass Member Notice, Opt-In Notice, OptOut Statement to Subclass Members who are not Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs, the Opt-Out Statement to
Opt-Ins, and Claim Form and Individual Release (collectively “Notice Materials”), finds and
concludes that the proposed plan for distributing the same will provide the best notice
practicable, satisfies the notice requirements of Rule 23(e), and satisfies all other legal and due
process requirements. Accordingly, the Court hereby Orders as follows:
(a)
The form and manner of distributing the proposed Notice Materials are hereby
approved.
(b)
Promptly following the entry of this Order, the Claims Administrator selected by
the Parties shall prepare final versions of the Notice Materials, incorporating into
the Notice Materials the relevant dates and deadlines set forth in this Order.
(c)
Within 15 calendar days after Defendants’ delivery of the information referenced
in Section 2.4(A) of the Agreement (the “Initial Mailing Deadline”), the Claims
Administrator shall mail, using information to be provided by Defendants no later
than 15 business days after the entry of this Order:
(1)
Subclass Member Documents: For Subclass Members who are not
Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs, the final version of the (1) Subclass Member Notice, (2) Opt-Out Statement
to Subclass Members who are not Opt-Ins or Plaintiffs, and (3) a Claim Form and Individual
Release; and
(2)
Opt-In Documents: For Opt-Ins, the final version of the (1) Opt-In
Notice, and (2) an Opt-Out Statement to Opt-Ins.
(d)
NYI-4341585v6
The Claims Administrator shall take all reasonable steps to obtain the correct
address of any Subclass Members and/or Opt-Ins for whom Notice Materials are
returned by the post office as undeliverable.
16
Filed 01/28/11 Page 54 of 255
(e)
Where correct addresses are obtained for any Subclass Members and/or Opt-Ins
for whom Notice Materials are returned by the post office as undeliverable, the
Claims Administrator shall attempt to remail the Notice Materials, except that the
Claims Administrator shall attempt no such remailings more than 40 calendar
days after the Initial Mailing Deadline.
(f)
The Claims Administrator shall take all other actions in furtherance of claims
administration as are specified in the Agreement.
VIII. PROCEDURES FOR FINAL APPROVAL OF THE SETTLEMENT
A.

the Parties may file with the Court written responses to any filed objections.
C.
Qualification for Payment & Deadline For Submitting Claim Forms
Plaintiffs quality for payment by virtue of their status as Plaintiffs. Opt-Ins qualify for

payment if they (1) do not opt out, and (2) timely and fully complete a Claim Form and
Individual Release in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Completion of the Claim
Form and Individual Release includes: (1) an oath that, at some point during the applicable
Covered Period, he or she worked without compensation; (2) an acknowledgment that, by

Plaintiffs, who were employed by DSG and/or Galyan’s as non-exempt retail store
associates, brought this lawsuit. Among other things, Plaintiffs claim that they were not paid for
all time worked and/or for time spent waiting to leave the store after their shifts ended.
Plaintiffs, for themselves and for others whom they claim are similarly situated, sought to
recover unpaid wages, including allegedly unpaid overtime compensation. Plaintiffs also sought
recovery of statutory damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief. A number of
other current or former DSG and/or Galyan’s non-exempt retail store associates have opted to
join Plaintiffs in this Litigation (the “Opt-Ins”).
Defendants have denied and continue to deny any wrongdoing and deny any and all
liability and damages to anyone with respect to the alleged facts or causes of action asserted in
the Lawsuit. To avoid the burden, expense, inconvenience and uncertainty of continued
litigation, Defendants have concluded that it is in their best interests to resolve and settle the
lawsuit by entering into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”).
The Lawsuit is presently before Judge Charles J. Siragusa, United States District Judge
for the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. Judge Siragusa has
not made any decision on the merits. On [DATE], the Court granted provisional class action
certification to Plaintiffs’ claims and granted preliminary approval to the Settlement, subject to a
fairness hearing that will take place on [DATE].
2.
A class action is a lawsuit in which the claims and rights of many people are decided in a
single court proceeding. One or more representative plaintiffs, also known as “Class
Representatives,” file a lawsuit asserting claims on behalf of the entire group, called a “Class.”
Members of the Class are called “Class Members.”
3.
Judge Siragusa has ordered that this Notice be sent to you because you may be a Class
Member. The purpose of this Notice is to inform you of the proposed Settlement and of your
rights, including:

•
To inform you of your right to “opt out” of the settlement class, and thereby
preserve your ability to independently bring any claim that you might have;
•
To inform you of your right to file objections to the Settlement;
•
To inform you of the steps you must take to receive a share of the settlement
funds.
You are a Class Member if you meet all of the following criteria:

The Court has approved and appointed a law firm to represent all members of the Class.
Class Counsel are Patrick J. Solomon, J. Nelson Thomas, and Peter J. Glennon of THOMAS &
SOLOMON LLP, 693 East Avenue, Rochester, New York 14607. Class Counsel may be
reached at 585-272-0540.
6.
Plaintiffs and Defendants have agreed to the Settlement summarized below. The
complete terms and conditions of the proposed Settlement are on file with the Clerk of Court at
the address listed below in Section 10. The parties’ obligations under the Settlement will not
become effective unless and until it receives final court approval, including the exhaustion of any
appeals.
A.
What are the benefits of the Settlement?
Class Members who timely and properly complete and return the Claim Form and
Individual Release, as described in Section 6.C below, will be eligible to receive a specified
share of a $15 million settlement fund, less certain deductions described below, based on a
formula approved by the Court.
The following adjustments will be made to the $15 million amount prior to distribution of
the settlement funds to the Class Members:
•
NYI-4341619v4
Settlement Administration Fees: A reserve will be set aside for reasonable costs
associated with administering the Settlement. The reserve will be used to pay a
claims administration company for mailings, processing claims, providing
information and assistance to Class Members, and preparing information reported
to the Court.
5
Filed 01/28/11 Page 63 of 255
•
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs: Class Counsel will seek, and Defendants will not
oppose, an award covering fees not to exceed 33.33% of the $15 million
settlement fund described above, plus reasonable costs and out-of-pocket
expenses. All fee awards, costs and expenses paid to Class Counsel will be paid
from the settlement fund. Class Counsel have expended considerable time and
effort in the prosecution of this litigation on a contingent basis, and they have
advanced the expenses of this litigation in the expectation that if they were
successful in obtaining a recovery in the matter, they would be paid from that
recovery. In this type of litigation, it is customary for counsel to be awarded a
percentage of the recovery to cover attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses.
•
Service Payments: If the Court approves such payments, certain individuals will
receive payments because they provided service to the Class by helping Class
Counsel to formulate claims. Specifically, Plaintiffs will seek: (1) for Named
Plaintiffs Tamara Barrus, Carolyn Caulkins, Jeffrey Little and Michael
D’Agostino, 20,000.00 each; (2) for Plaintiffs and Opt-Ins who were deposed in
this action, $5,000.00 each; (3) for Plaintiffs and Opt-Ins who submitted an
affidavit in connection with this action, $2,500.00 each; (4) for Plaintiffs who
served as named plaintiffs in this and/or a related case, $1,000.00 each; and (5)
for the individuals who have previously opted in to the litigation, $100.00 each.
The payments outlined in this paragraph are separate from and in addition to the
shares of the settlement fund that these individuals may be otherwise eligible to
receive. The remaining amount in the settlement fund (the “Net Settlement
Fund”) will be distributed according to the method set forth below in Section 6.D.
B.
What is the legal effect of participating in the Settlement?
If the Court grants final approval of the Settlement, in exchange for the establishment of
the $15 million settlement fund described above, this action will be dismissed with prejudice and
Class Members who do not opt out will fully release and discharge Defendants from certain
claims. When claims are “released,” that means that a person covered by the release cannot sue
Defendants for any of the claims that are covered by the release.
The terms of the Release in the Settlement Agreement read:
[E]ach individual Class Member forever and fully releases the
Individual Defendants and the Corporate Defendants and their
owners, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents,
directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, parent
companies, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, benefit plans, plan
fiduciaries and/or administrators, and assigns, and all persons
acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them, including
any party that was or could have been named as a defendant in the
Litigation and/or the State Actions (collectively, the “Releasees”)
from any and all past and present matters, claims, demands, and
causes of action of any kind, whatsoever, whether at common law,
pursuant to statute, ordinance, or regulation, in equity or otherwise,

and whether arising under federal, state, local, or other applicable
law, which any such individual has or might have, known or
unknown, asserted or unasserted, of any kind whatsoever, that are
based upon an alleged failure to pay overtime or other
compensation, that otherwise relate to the Litigation and/or the
State Actions or that arise out of or relate to the facts, acts,
transactions, occurrences, events or omissions alleged in the
Litigation and/or the State Actions, and/or that otherwise arise out
of or relate to the assertion of claims in the Litigation and/or the
State Actions, and that arose during any time that such individuals
worked for DSG and/or Galyan’s up until the date of the entry of
the order granting Final Approval (“Released Claims”).
The Released Claims include without limitation claims
asserted in the Litigation and/or the State Actions and any other
claims based on state or federal law governing overtime pay,
failure to pay wages, denial of meal periods and rest breaks, failure
to compensate for missed and/or interrupted meal breaks, denial of
spread of hours pay, failure to pay wages upon termination, failure
to provide itemized wage statements, retaliation due to the filing of
or participation in the Litigation, unfair competition, failure to
make payments due, failure to provide benefits or benefit credits,
failure to keep records of hours worked or compensation due,
failure to post a summary and/or notice of wage-hour laws, and

C.
How can I participate in the Settlement?
If you wish to receive a distribution from the settlement fund, you must timely complete
and mail the enclosed Claim Form and Individual Release according to instructions provided on
the form, including: (1) an oath that, during the applicable period, you worked without
compensation or had to wait to leave the store after your shift ended; (2) an acknowledgment
that, by signing the Claim Form and Individual Release, you are a Class Member; (3) an
acknowledgement that, by signing the Claim Form and Individual Release, you are opting in to
the case pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 216(b); and (4) a release of claims consistent with that set forth
in Section 6.B of this Notice.
The Claim Form and Individual Release must be properly completed, signed, and mailed
to the Claims Administrator via First Class United States Mail, at the address below. Your
Claim Form and Individual Release must be postmarked on or before [DATE]. If you do not
properly complete and timely submit the Claim Form and Individual Release, you will not be
eligible to receive any monetary distribution. Class Counsel recommend that you send your
Claim Form and Individual Release in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope.
[CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESS]
You should keep in mind that if you do not opt out, and if you do not properly and timely
complete and return the Claim Form and Individual Release in accordance with the instructions
provided on the form, you will not receive a distribution from the settlement fund, but you will
still be bound by the Release described in Section 6.B.
D.
How will my share be calculated if I participate?
Each Class Member who submits a timely and properly completed Claim Form and
Individual Release will receive a share of the Net Settlement Fund (that is, the settlement funds
that remain after deductions are made for claims administration costs, service payments, and
attorneys’ fees and expenses). It is also possible that the Net Settlement Fund could include
interest, if the final approval of the Settlement does not occur until after June 15, 2011.
NYI-4341619v4

Filed 01/28/11 Page 66 of 255
Your share will be based upon the amount of time that you were employed by DSG
and/or Galyan’s as a non-exempt retail store Associate during the time periods that are relevant
to this case. Specifically, your share will be calculated as follows:
First, an “Individual Numerator” will be calculated for you. In most cases, your
Individual Numerator will equal:
The number of any full weeks that you worked as a non-exempt
retail store Associate at DSG and/or Galyan’s in a Covered State
during the Covered Period applicable to that State, plus (to the
extent not covered by the immediately preceding clause) the
number of any full weeks between July 5, 2002 and
[PRELIMINARY APPROVAL DATE] that you worked as a nonexempt retail store Associate in any state (together, your “Relevant
Weeks”).1
Multiplied By
Your average hourly base rate of pay for all full weeks that you
worked as a non-exempt retail store Associate at DSG and/or
Galyan’s during your Relevant Weeks.
Please note that the data available for calculating Individual Numerators only goes back so
far. Because of this, your Individual Numerator will be calculated differently if you fall
into either of the following categories:
•
You were employed by DSG as a non-exempt retail store associate on September 15,
1996 in Illinois or Ohio and had positive earnings in the first pay period after
September 15, 1996, or
•
You were employed by Galyan’s as a non-exempt retail store associate on June 23,
2002 in Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Nebraska, New York, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or
Wisconsin and had positive earnings in the first pay period after June 23, 2002.
If this is the case, your Individual Numerator will equal the greater of:
•
The Individual Numerator calculated using the method described above, or
•
Your average hourly rate of pay as a non-exempt retail Associate during your
Relevant Weeks multiplied by the average number of full weeks that all Class
1
Class Members who worked less than one full week as a non-exempt retail store
Associate at DSG and/or Galyan’s during the applicable Covered Period shall be credited with
one (1) Relevant Week.
NYI-4341619v4

Members worked as a non-exempt retail store Associate at DSG and/or Galyan’s
during the time periods relevant to the case.
However, if you fall in one of the categories described above, your Individual Numerator
may not take into account all weeks that you worked prior to the dates described above.
Thus, your share of the Settlement Fund may be less than it would be if data existed for
earlier time periods. If you would prefer not to participate in the settlement because of
this, you should opt out pursuant to the procedure described in Section 9.
Second, a “Total Denominator” will be calculated. The Total Denominator will equal the
Individual Numerator of each Class Member added together.
Third, your “Share Percentage” will be calculated. Your Share Percentage equals your
Individual Numerator divided by the Total Denominator.
Fourth, your share of the Net Settlement Fund will be determined. Your share equals
your Share Percentage times the amount of the Net Settlement Fund.
Amounts that are not claimed by Class Members (and that are not necessary to cover
expenses and fees associated with the Settlement) will revert to DSG and any attorneys’ fees and
expenses or service payments not awarded by the Court will become part of the Net Settlement
Fund. The amount of your share of the Net Settlement Fund will not be affected by the number
of Class Members who claim a share.
7.
When Is The Fairness Hearing To Determine Whether The Settlement Will Be
Approved?
The Court has granted preliminary approval of the proposed Settlement, concluding
preliminarily that the Settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable and that the proposed
distribution of the Settlement amount is fair, adequate, and reasonable.
A hearing will be held to determine whether final approval of the Settlement and the
amount of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and service awards should be granted. At the
hearing, the Court will hear objections, if any, and arguments concerning the fairness of the
proposed Settlement and the request for reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and service awards.
The hearing will take place before Judge Siragusa on [DATE] at [TIME], or as soon thereafter as
practicable, at the Kenneth B. Keating Federal Building, 100 State Street, Rochester, New York
14614. The time and date of this hearing may be continued or adjourned, so please contact Class
Counsel prior to the date of the hearing if you plan to attend.
YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO ATTEND THIS HEARING. YOU MAY ATTEND THE
HEARING IF YOU PLAN TO OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT. YOU MAY ALSO
RETAIN YOUR OWN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU IN YOUR OBJECTIONS. IF
YOU WISH TO OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT, YOU MUST SUBMIT A WRITTEN
OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION. IF YOU WISH TO

YOUR OBJECTION YOUR INTENTION TO APPEAR AT THE FAIRNESS HEARING.

Settlement. If you choose to exclude yourself, you will not be barred from seeking relief
with respect to any legal claims and will be free to pursue an individual claim, if any,

CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS
5.
The claims arising under the ERISA, RICO and statutory and common laws of
Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and
Wisconsin are properly maintainable as a class action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.
6.
The class (hereinafter “Class Members”) are those employees and former
employees of Defendants who were suffered or permitted to perform compensable work for the
Defendants, were not paid on a salary basis, and were not fully compensated for all hours they
worked below 40 hours a week and/or were not paid overtime at the applicable premium rate
for all hours they worked over 40 hours a week. The class also includes current and former
employees of defendants whose 401(k) plans were not credited with their non-reduced weekly
wages and correct overtime compensation as well as those injured by defendants’ scheme to
-3-
Filed 01/28/11 Page 78 of 255
cheat employees out of their property and to convert the employees’ property, including their
wages and/or overtime pay, by misleading employees about their rights under the FLSA.
7.
The class action is maintainable under subsections (1), (2) and (3) of Rule 23(b).
8.
The class size is believed to be well over 50 employees.
9.
The Named Plaintiffs will adequately represent the interests of the class members
because they are similarly situated to the class members and their claims are typical of, and
concurrent to, the claims of the other class members.
10.
There are no known conflicts of interest between the Named Plaintiffs and the
other class members.
11.
The class counsel, Thomas & Solomon LLP, is qualified and able to litigate the
class members’ claims.
12.
The class counsel concentrates its practice in employment litigation, and its
attorneys are experienced in class action litigation, including class actions arising under federal
and state wage and hour laws.
13.
Common questions of law and fact predominate in this action because the claims
of all class members are based on whether the Defendants’ practice of not paying nonexempt
employees for all hours worked, not crediting employees for all time worked, and scheming to
defraud employees out of their wages, including applicable premium pay violates federal law,
including the FLSA, ERISA and RICO, as well as the state laws of Alabama, Arizona, Colorado,
14.
Common questions of law and fact include, but are not limited to, the following:
a.
Whether Plaintiffs and Class Members are entitled to payment and credit
for all of the time they worked for Defendants.
-4-
15.
Filed 01/28/11 Page 79 of 255
b.
Whether Class Members are entitled to payment at overtime rates for all
of the time they worked Defendants in excess of 40 hours per week and/or
in excess of 8 hours per day.
c.
Whether Defendants’ employment policies violated Defendants’ legal
obligation to pay Plaintiffs and Class Members for all of the time they
worked for Defendants.
d.
Whether Defendants’ employment policies violated Defendants’ legal
obligation to pay Class Members at overtime rates for all time they
worked for Defendants in excess of 40 hours per week and/or in excess of
8 hours per day.
e.
Whether Defendants engaged in a scheme to defraud plaintiffs out of their
wages.
The class action is maintainable under subsections (2) and (3) of Rule 23(b)
because the Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, common questions of law and fact predominate
among the class members and the class action is superior to other available methods for the fair
and efficient adjudication of the controversy.

FACTUAL BACKGROUND
217.
Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. is self proclaimed as “one of the fastest growing, most
profitable sporting goods retailers in the country.” Indeed, Defendants’ net income for the
quarter ending April 2009 was $10.2 million. Further, Defendants opened 43 new locations in
2008. Currently, Defendants operate more than 400 stores throughout the United States.
218.
One of Defendants’ largest expenses is the payroll of its hourly paid employees.
In order to reduce this expense and to maximize profitability, Defendants have maintained a
policy of not paying hourly employees for all time worked, and encouraging off-the-clock work
to be performed.
219.
Defendants put pressure on management of all levels, including at the district
and store level, to encourage and allow hourly employees to perform off-the-clock work. This is
achieved by the promises of reward and punishment. Defendants set payroll budgets that can
only realistically be met if hourly employees are performing work off the clock. Management is
awarded bonuses that are largely dependent on staying within the payroll budget. If not met,
the job security of district and store managers is threatened.
220.
The pressures of reducing payroll expenses and staying within the payroll
budgets encouraged management to grossly understaff each location.
221.
The above stated policies and procedures cause Defendants to allow, direct and
encourage hourly employees to perform work, as described below, without proper
compensation.
222.
Defendants have actual knowledge that Plaintiffs and Class Members are not and

223.
The Defendants’ maintain a payroll policy of deducting either one half-hour or
one hour from Class Members’ compensable time for scheduled “non-working” break periods
(“Meal Break Deduction Policy”).

However, Defendants suffer or permit employees to work through and during
their meal breaks, but pursuant to their Meal Break Deduction Policy, time spent working
during meal breaks was still deducted from Plaintiffs and Class Members pay.
225.
Plaintiffs and Class Members are often required to work through their scheduled
breaks or are interrupted during their breaks, even though Defendants do not pay them for this
work pursuant to the Meal Break Deduction Policy.
226.
Further, Defendants fail to ensure that Plaintiffs and Class Members are
completely relieved of work duty during the time that is deducted from Plaintiffs and Class
Members pay pursuant to the Meal Break Deduction Policy.
227.
Therefore, Plaintiffs and Class Members perform compensable work during and
through their unpaid meal periods.

Defendants and their management engaged in a pattern and/or practice of

otherwise intimidating Plaintiffs and Class Members if they do not work during their meal
breaks.
230.
Plaintiffs and Class Members were subject to the Meal Break Deduction Policy.
231.
Due to chronic understaffing and payroll restraints, Plaintiffs and Class Members
are often unable to be relieved by another employee to cover their department, and are therefore
unable to leave their department to take their scheduled meal break. If an employee leaves their
department uncovered, Defendants reprimand them.
232.
When an employee is permitted to take a break, they are often required to return
early from their break or perform work during their break because of the understaffing and
payroll restraints.
233.
Defendants were aware Plaintiffs and Class Members worked during and through
- 36 -

their meal breaks.
234.
Nevertheless, by operation of the Meal Break Deduction Policy, Plaintiffs’ and
Class Members’ compensable time was impermissibly reduced under the policy.
235.
In many instances, if Plaintiffs’ and Class Members’ hours had been properly
calculated, the time spent working through the breaks would have resulted in the Plaintiffs and
Class Members qualifying for overtime compensation.
236.
These violations of federal law, as well as the statutory and common laws of
Wisconsin were willful.
Off-the-Clock Work Policy
237.
The Defendants’ maintain a payroll policy of requiring Plaintiffs and Class
Members to perform work off-the-clock (“Off-the-Clock Work Policy”).
238.
The Off-the-Clock Work Policy includes time worked after the store location was
closed for business, and the employees were “locked-in” and being forced to work
uncompensated until management allowed them to leave.
239.
Additionally, Defendants required Plaintiffs and Class Members to help
customers regardless of whether Plaintiffs and Class Members were on the clock.
240.
Defendants suffered or permitted Plaintiffs and Class Members to perform work
prior to the start of their shift, and after the end of their scheduled shift, but pursuant to
Defendants’ Off-the-Clock Work Policy, Plaintiffs and Class Members were not compensated for
the time spent working before and after their scheduled shift.

All Plaintiffs and Class Members were subject to Defendants’ Off-the-Clock Work
Policy.

In many instances, if Plaintiffs’ hours had been properly calculated, the time
spent working through the breaks would have resulted in the Plaintiffs’ qualifying for overtime
compensation.
246.
These violations of federal law, as well as the statutory laws and common laws of
Wisconsin were willful.
Failure to Properly Pay Overtime
247.
The Defendants’ maintain a payroll policy of not paying Plaintiffs and Class
Members for all hours considered overtime at the statutorily required premium rate (“Overtime
Policy”).
248.
Defendants suffered or permitted Plaintiffs and Class Members to work in excess
of 40 hours a week, but failed to ensure Plaintiffs and Class Members were compensated at the
statutory required premium.
249.
The methods Defendants utilized to avoid paying Plaintiffs and Class Members
the statutorily required premium rate for overtime included, but was not limited to, the
following:
- 38 -
250.
Filed 01/28/11 Page 113 of 255
a.
calculating overtime on a 2-week, 80 hour basis, and only paying time and
one half for hours over 80 in the 2-week pay period;
b.
compensating Plaintiffs and Class Members with “retro pay” the week
following the week overtime was worked at straight time rates, thus
depriving employees of premium overtime compensation in the week it
was earned;
c.
altering time records to reflect 40 hours, thus depriving Plaintiffs and
Class Members of any compensation for the hours worked over 40;
d.
compensating Plaintiffs and Class Members at their straight hourly rate
for hours over forty.
Defendants put pressure on management at the store and district levels to keep
overtime hours at a minimum by using scare tactics and promises of bonuses. This pressure
manifested itself in the different overtime violations described above.
251.
It is Defendants’ policy and practice not to compensate Plaintiffs and Class
Members at a rate of one-and-a-half times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in
excess of forty.
252.
The Defendants’ practice is to be deliberately indifferent to these violations of the
statutory overtime requirements.
253.
The Defendants’ failure to pay Plaintiffs overtime wages for time worked in
excess of 40 hours violates the FLSA, as well as the statutory and common laws of Colorado,
Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. These violations were
willful.
254.
Moreover, Class Members who worked at Defendants’ Minnesota locations were
similarly not compensated for all of their hours. Defendants failed to compensate Minnesota
employees for their time worked in excess of 48 hours in violation of Minnesota statutory and
common laws. These violations were also willful.
255.
Additionally, Class Members who worked at Defendants’ Kansas locations were

Additional Allegations
256.
Among the relief sought, Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief to prevent the
Defendants from continuing the illegal policies and practices perpetuated pursuant to the
policies.
257.
Defendants offered Plaintiffs and Class Members fixed hourly wages for all time
worked in exchange for labor and services performed by Plaintiffs and Class Members.
258.
By entering into an employment relationship with Plaintiffs and Class Members,
Defendants entered into a contract for employment, including implied contracts and express
contracts.
259.
Defendants expressly told each Class Member the hourly rate to be paid for all
time in which work was performed.
260.
Defendants promised Class Members, as outlined in the Employee Handbook,
that Class Members would receive both paid and unpaid breaks based on the number of hours
worked and the respective state law requirements.
261.
In addition, Defendants’ oral express contract with Plaintiffs and Class Members
embodied all binding legal requirements concerning the payment of such wages to the Plaintiffs
and Class Members that were in force at the time of that contract.
262.
Class Members accepted Defendants’ offer of employment, and reasonably relied
on Defendants’ promise to pay the expressed wage for all time worked.
263.
Defendants failed to ensure that Plaintiffs and Class Members received all agreed
upon rest and meal breaks. Further, Defendants failed to ensure that Plaintiffs and Class
Members were properly compensated when work was performed during the agreed upon rest
and meal breaks.

As alleged herein, Plaintiffs and Class Members regularly worked hours both
under and in excess of forty per week and were not paid for all of those hours.
265.
This work was completed at the direction and behest of Defendants, not
voluntarily performed by Plaintiffs and Class Members, but done with the expectation of earning
their respective hourly wage rate.
266.
By failing to pay Plaintiffs and Class Members for all time worked, Defendants
breached both the express and implied contracts entered into with Plaintiffs and Class
Members.
267.
Defendants failed to act in good faith and breached the oral express and/or
implied contract terms by failing to pay Class Members for all of the time Class Members
worked and by failing to pay Class Members all time worked including applicable premium pay.
As a result of Defendants’ breach of express and implied contracts, Plaintiffs and Class Members
have been harmed and as a direct and proximate result have suffered damages including all
amounts they should have been paid for all time worked including applicable premium pay.
268.
Both the express and implied promises made to Plaintiffs and Class Members
contained an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, which obligated Defendants to
perform the terms and conditions of the employment contract fairly and in good faith and to
refrain from doing any act that would violate any state law governing the employment
relationship or any act that would deprive Class Members of the benefits of the contract
269.
Defendants breached their duty of good faith and fair dealing by failing to
compensate Plaintiffs and Class Members in accordance with the applicable state laws for all the
time worked, including applicable premium pay.
270.
As a result of Defendants’ breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing, Plaintiffs

At all relevant times, Defendants had and continued to have a legal obligation to
pay Plaintiffs and Class Members all earnings and overtime due. The wages belong to Plaintiffs
and Class Members as of the time the labor and services were provided to Defendants and,
accordingly, the wages for services performed are the property of the Plaintiffs and Class
Members.
272.
In refusing to pay wages and applicable premium pay to Plaintiffs and Class
Members, Defendants knowingly, unlawfully and intentionally took, appropriated and
converted the wages and overtime earned by Plaintiffs and Class Members for Defendants’ own
use, purpose and benefit. At the time the conversion took place, Plaintiffs and Class Members
were entitled to immediate possession of the amount of wages and overtime earned. As a result,
Plaintiffs and Class Members have been denied the use and enjoyment of their property and
have been otherwise damaged in an amount to be proven at trial. This conversion was done in
bad faith, oppressive, malicious, and fraudulent and/or done with conscious disregard of the
rights of the Plaintiffs and Class Members. This conversion was concealed from Plaintiffs and
Class Members.
273.
Plaintiffs requested compensation for their time worked and such request was
denied by Defendants.
274.
Defendants’ failure to compensate Plaintiffs and Class Members for all the time
they worked, including applicable premium pay, constitutes the conversion of the monies of
Plaintiffs and the Class Members.

As a direct and proximate result of the conversion by Defendants of monies
belonging to Plaintiffs and Class Members, Plaintiffs and Class Members have suffered damages

As detailed herein, rather than incur additional labor costs by paying non-exempt
hourly-paid employees for all of the hours that they worked, Defendants required Plaintiffs and
Class Members to work hours under and in excess of forty without receiving any compensation
for those hours.
278.
Defendants had an appreciation or knowledge of the benefit conferred by these
Plaintiffs and Class Members. For example, Defendants’ management has: observed Plaintiffs
and Class Members working through their unpaid meal breaks, directed Plaintiffs and Class
Members to work during their unpaid meal breaks, and affirmatively told Plaintiffs and Class
Members that they could not be paid for such time.
279.
Defendants have received financial gain at the expense of Plaintiffs and Class
Members because they did not pay Plaintiffs and Class Members for all hours worked and
Defendants kept the monies owed to the Plaintiffs and Class Members.
280.
Defendants have received that financial gain under such circumstances that, in
equity and good conscience, Defendants ought not to be allowed to profit at the expense of
Plaintiffs and Class Members.
281.
Defendants enjoyed the benefit of the monies rightfully belonging to the Plaintiffs
and Class Members at the expense of the Plaintiffs and Class Members. Retaining such benefits
would be inequitable and contrary to the fundamental principles of justice, equity and good
conscience.
282.
Defendants failed to act in good faith by failing to pay for all the time worked
including applicable premium pay, which has unjustly enriched Defendants to the detriment of
Plaintiffs and Class Members.
283.
Defendants failed to act in good faith and violated their obligations by failing to
pay Plaintiffs and Class Members for the reasonable value of the services performed by Plaintiffs
and Class Members for Defendants.

As a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ unjust enrichment, Plaintiffs and

Class Members have suffered injuries and are entitled to reimbursement, restitution and
disgorgement from Defendants of the benefits conferred by Plaintiffs’ and the Class Members’
work without compensation as required by the state common and statutory laws of Alabama,
Wisconsin.
285.
Defendants’ practice is to be deliberately indifferent to these violations of the
statutory wage and overtime requirements contained in the state common and statutory laws of
Wisconsin.
286.
The Defendants engaged in such conduct and made such statements to conceal
from the Plaintiffs their rights and to frustrate the vindication of the employees’ rights under
federal and state laws.
287.
Through the paystubs and payroll information it provided to employees,
Defendants deliberately concealed from its employees that they did not receive compensation
for all the work they performed and misled them into believing they were being paid properly.
288.
Further, by maintaining and propagating the illegal policies, defendants
deliberately misrepresented to Plaintiffs and Class Members that they were being properly paid
for time worked, even though Plaintiffs and Class Members were not receiving pay for all time
worked including applicable premium pay.

The defendants engaged in such conduct and made such statements to conceal
- 44 -

from the Plaintiffs and Class Members their rights and to frustrate the vindication of the
employees’ federal and state rights.
290.
As a result, Plaintiffs and Class Members were unaware of their claims.
291.
Plaintiffs and Class Members are under no duty to inquire of Defendants that
they were paid for all hours worked including applicable premium pay. As a direct and
proximate cause of Defendants affirmatively misleading Plaintiffs and Class Members regarding
the fact that they were to be paid for all hours worked, Defendants are estopped from asserting
statute of limitations defenses against Plaintiffs and Class Members.
292.
Further, by maintaining and propagating the illegal policies, Defendants
deliberately misrepresented to Plaintiffs and Class Members that they were being properly paid
for time worked, even though Plaintiffs were not receiving pay for all time worked.
293.
Defendants misrepresented in their employee manuals and policy manuals to
Plaintiffs and Class Members that they would be paid for all hours worked including those
worked both under and in excess of forty in a work week.
294.
Defendants intended for Plaintiffs and Class Members to rely upon Defendants’
misrepresentations that they would be paid for all the time worked, including applicable
premium pay.
295.
Defendants, however, at all times intended to violate applicable federal and state
laws by failing to pay Plaintiffs and Class Members for all the time worked, including applicable
premium pay.
296.
These misrepresentations were material to the terms of Plaintiffs’ and Class
Members’ employment contracts (express and implied), and Plaintiffs and Class Members relied
on the misrepresentations in agreeing to accept and continue employment with Defendants.
This reliance was reasonable, as Plaintiffs and Class Members had every right to believe that
Defendants would abide by their obligations pursuant to applicable state law.
297.
When Defendants hired Named Plaintiffs and Class Members, they represented
- 45 -

to Named Plaintiffs and Class Members that they would be fully compensated for all services
performed.
298.
Defendants affirmatively misled Plaintiffs and Class Members regarding the fact
that Defendants failed to pay Named Plaintiffs and Class Members for all hours worked.
299.
Defendants induced Plaintiffs and Class Members to accept employment with
Defendants by misrepresenting to Plaintiffs and Class Members that they would be fully
compensated for all hours worked.
300.
There was no reasonable basis for Defendants to believe these representations
because Defendants had a continuing practice and policy of failing to pay their employees for all
the time worked, including applicable premium pay. Plaintiffs and Class Members relied upon
Defendants’ representations by performing work and services for Defendants. This reliance was
reasonable, as Plaintiffs and Class Members had every right to believe that Defendants would
abide by their obligations to pay for all hours worked requested by law, including pursuant to
the state common and statutory laws of Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,
301.
As a direct and proximate cause of Defendants’ fraud and negligent
misrepresentations Plaintiffs and Class Members have suffered damages because they were not
compensated for all hours that they worked both under and in excess of forty per week.
302.
Defendants sponsor pension plans including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. Smart
Savings 401k Plan (the “Plan”) for its employees.
303.
Defendants failed to keep accurate records of all time worked by Class Members.
By failing to keep such records, defendants’ records are legally insufficient to determine benefits.
304.
Defendants failed to credit or even investigate crediting overtime pay as
- 46 -
Filed 01/28/11 Page 121 of 255
compensation used to determine benefits to the extent overtime may be included as
compensation under the Plan. Defendants, while acting as fiduciaries exercising discretion over
the administration of the Plan, breached their duties to act prudently and solely in the interests
of Plan’s participants by failing to credit them with all of the hours of service for which they were
entitled to be paid, including overtime to the extent overtime may be included as compensation
under than Plan, or to investigate whether such hours should be credited. Under ERISA,
crediting hours is a fiduciary function, independent of the payment of wages, necessary to
determine participants’ participation vesting and accrual of rights.

As used in this Complaint, “mailed” means: (1) placing in any post office or
authorized depository for mailed matter, any matter or thing to be delivered by the United
States Postal Service; (2) causing to be deposited any matter or thing to be delivered by any
private or commercial interstate carrier; (3) taking or receiving therefrom any such matter or
thing; and/or (4) knowingly causing to be delivered by any such means any such matter.
306.
Plaintiffs and Class Members allege that Defendants devised, intended to devise,
and carried out a scheme to cheat Plaintiffs and Class Members out of their property and to
convert Plaintiffs’ and Class Members’ property, including their wages and/or overtime pay (the
“Scheme”). Defendants’ Scheme consisted of illegally, willfully and systematically withholding
or refusing to pay Plaintiffs and Class Members their regular or statutorily required rate of pay
for all hours worked in violation of federal law, as described previously in this Complaint.
307.
Defendants’ Scheme involved the employment of material misrepresentations
and/or omissions and other deceptive practices reasonably calculated to deceive Plaintiffs and
Class Members. The Scheme involved depriving Plaintiffs and Class Members of their lawful
entitlement to wages and overtime.
308.
In executing or attempting to execute the Scheme and to receive the financial
benefits of the Scheme, defendants repeatedly mailed payroll checks, either directly to Plaintiffs
and Class Members or between defendants’ business locations. These mailings occurred on a
- 47 -
Filed 01/28/11 Page 122 of 255
regular basis and more than 100 such mailings occurred in the last 10 years.
309.
The payroll checks were false and deceptive because they misled Plaintiffs and
Class Members about the amount of wages to which they were entitled, as well as their status
and rights under the FLSA. Plaintiffs and Class Members relied to their detriment on the
misleading payroll checks that defendants mailed and those misleading documents were a
proximate cause of Plaintiffs’ and Class Members’ injuries.
310.
Defendants’ predicate acts of mailing the misleading payroll checks in
furtherance of their Scheme constitute a pattern of conduct unlawful pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §
1961(5) based upon both the relationship between the acts and continuity over the period of
time of the acts. The relationship was reflected because the acts were connected to each other in
furtherance of the Scheme. Continuity was reflected by both the repeated nature of the mailings
during and in furtherance of the Scheme and the threat of similar acts occurring in the future.
The threat was reflected by the continuing and ongoing nature of the acts.
311.
Defendants’ predicate acts were related, because they reflected the same purpose
or goal (to retain wages and overtime pay due to Plaintiffs and Class Members for the economic
benefit of defendants and members of the enterprise); results (retention of wages and overtime
pay); participants (defendants and other members of the enterprise); victims (Plaintiffs and
Class Members); and methods of commission (the Scheme and other acts described in the
Complaint). The acts were interrelated and not isolated events, since they were carried out for
the same purposes in a continuous manner over a substantial period of time.
312.
At all relevant times, in connection with the Scheme, defendants acted with
malice, intent, knowledge, and in reckless disregard of Plaintiffs’ and Class Members’ rights.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS
ACTION LAWSUIT AND FAIRNESS HEARING
TO:
PERSONS WHO PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED OPT-IN CONSENT FORMS IN THE
ABOVE-CAPTIONED LAWSUIT
Court records indicate that you elected to join this lawsuit by submitting an opt-in
consent form. The parties to the case – which is entitled Tamara Barrus, et al. v. Dick’s Sporting
Goods, Inc., Galyan’s Trading Company, Inc., Edward Stack, Kathryn Sutter, William Colombo,
Jay Crosson, and Lynn Uram (the “Lawsuit”) – have reached a proposed settlement. As a

However, if you do not want to participate in the settlement, and you do not want to be

THIS NOTICE IS NOT AN EXPRESSION OF ANY OPINION BY THE COURT AS TO THE
MERITS OF ANY OF THE CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTED BY THE PARTIES.
1.
Besides yourself, a number of other current or former Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc.
(“DSG”) and/or Galyan’s Trading Company, Inc. (“Galyan’s”) non-exempt retail store associates
have opted to join Plaintiffs in this litigation (the “Opt-Ins”). Like you, the Plaintiffs were
employed by DSG and/or Galyan’s as non-exempt retail store associates. Among other things,
Plaintiffs claim that they were not paid for all time worked and/or for time spent waiting to leave
the store after their shifts ended. Plaintiffs have brought claims under both federal and state law.
Plaintiffs, for themselves and for others whom they claim are similarly situated, sought to
NYI-4341631v5
2
Filed 01/28/11 Page 146 of 255
recover unpaid wages, including allegedly unpaid overtime. Plaintiffs also sought recovery of
statutory damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief.
Defendants have denied and continue to deny any wrongdoing and deny any and all
liability and damages to anyone with respect to the alleged facts or causes of action asserted in
the Lawsuit. To avoid the burden, expense, inconvenience and uncertainty of continued
litigation, Defendants have concluded that it is in their best interests to resolve and settle the
lawsuit by entering into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”).
The Lawsuit is presently before Judge Charles J. Siragusa, United States District Judge
for the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. Judge Siragusa has
not made any decision on the merits. On [DATE], the Court granted provisional class action
certification to Plaintiffs’ state law classes and the FLSA class described below and granted
preliminary approval to the Settlement, subject to a fairness hearing that will take place on
[DATE].
2.
A class action is a lawsuit in which the claims and rights of many people are decided in a
single court proceeding. One or more representative plaintiffs, also known as “Class
Representatives,” file a lawsuit asserting claims on behalf of the entire group, called a “Class.”
Members of the Class are called “Class Members.” You and certain other Class Members have
previously joined this lawsuit by submitting an opt-in consent form. Such Class Members are
known as “Opt-Ins.”
3.
Judge Siragusa has ordered that this Notice be sent to you because you are an Opt-In.
That is, Court records indicate that you have previously elected to join this suit by submitting an
opt-in consent form. The purpose of this Notice is to inform you of the proposed Settlement and
of your rights, including:
4.
•
To inform you that you have a right to receive a share of the settlement funds, and
that you do not need to take any additional action to receive this share;
•
To inform you of your right to “opt out” of the settlement class, and thereby
preserve your ability to independently bring any claim that you might have;
•
To inform you of your right to file objections to the Settlement.
You are presently included in the Lawsuit because you submitted an opt-in consent form
(and because you meet the definition of a Class Member, as described below). Other people
included in the Lawsuit include the named plaintiffs in the case and other people who (like you)
have submitted opt-in consent forms.

the Lawsuit if he or she meets all of the following criteria:
He/she was employed by DSG and/or Galyan’s and had positive earnings as a nonexempt retail store associate, and he/she held this position at any time during one or more of the

In this case, you are represented by Patrick J. Solomon, J. Nelson Thomas, and Peter J.
Glennon of THOMAS & SOLOMON LLP, 693 East Avenue, Rochester, New York 14607.
They may be reached at 585-272-0540. The Court has approved and appointed Mr. Solomon,
Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Glennon to represent all members of the Class.
6.
Plaintiffs and Defendants have agreed to the Settlement summarized below. The
complete terms and conditions of the proposed Settlement are on file with the Clerk of Court at
the address listed below in Section 10. The parties’ obligations under the Settlement will not
become effective unless and until it receives final court approval, including the exhaustion of any
appeals.
A.
What are the benefits of the Settlement?
Opt-Ins, along with the Plaintiffs and other Class Members, will be eligible to receive a
specified share of a $15 million settlement fund, less certain deductions. The following
adjustments will be made to the $15 million amount prior to distribution of funds to Class
Members:
•
NYI-4341631v5
Settlement Administration Fees: A reserve will be set aside for reasonable costs
associated with administering the Settlement. The reserve will be used to pay a
claims administration company for mailings, processing claims, providing
5
Filed 01/28/11 Page 149 of 255
information and assistance to Class Members, and preparing information reported
to the Court.
•
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs: Class Counsel will seek, and Defendants will not
oppose, an award covering fees not to exceed 33.33% of the $15 million
settlement fund described above, plus reasonable costs and out-of-pocket
expenses. All fee awards, costs and expenses paid to Class Counsel will be paid
from the settlement fund. Class Counsel have expended considerable time and
effort in the prosecution of this litigation on a contingent basis, and they have
advanced the expenses of this litigation in the expectation that if they were
successful in obtaining a recovery in the matter, they would be paid from that
recovery. In this type of litigation, it is customary for counsel to be awarded a
percentage of the recovery to cover attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses.
•
Service Payments: If the Court approves such payments, certain individuals will
receive payments because they provided service to the Class by helping Class
Counsel to formulate claims. Specifically, Plaintiffs will seek (1) for Named
Plaintiffs Tamara Barrus, Carolyn Caulkins, Jeffrey Little and Michael
D’Agostino, $20,000.00 each; (2) for Plaintiffs and Opt-Ins who do not opt out
and who were deposed in this action, $5,000.00 each; (3) for Plaintiffs and OptIns who do not opt out and who submitted an affidavit in connection with this
action, $2,500.00 each; (4) for Plaintiffs who served as named plaintiffs in the this
and/or a related case, $1,000.00 each; and (5) for Opt-Ins who do not opt out,
including yourself, $100.00 each. The payments outlined in this paragraph are
separate from and in addition to the shares of the settlement fund that these
individuals may be otherwise eligible to receive.
The remaining amount in the settlement fund (the “Net Settlement Fund”) will be
distributed according to the method set forth below in Section 6.D.
B.
What is the legal effect of participating in the Settlement?
If the Court grants final approval of the Settlement, in exchange for the establishment of
the $15 million settlement fund described above, this action will be dismissed with prejudice and
Class Members (including you and the other Opt-Ins) who do not opt out will fully release and
discharge Defendants from certain claims. When claims are “released,” that means that a person
covered by the release cannot sue Defendants for any of the claims that are covered by the
release.
The terms of the Release in the Settlement Agreement read:
[E]ach individual Class Member forever and fully releases the
Individual Defendants and the Corporate Defendants and their
owners, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents,
directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, parent
companies, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, benefit plans, plan
fiduciaries and/or administrators, and assigns, and all persons

C.
Do I need to do anything to participate in the Settlement?
You do not need to take any action to participate in the Settlement. As an Opt-In,
you will receive a distribution from the Settlement unless you choose to opt-out, as
described below.
D.
How will my share be calculated if I participate?
Each Opt-In, and each Class Member who meets certain criteria, will receive a share of
the Net Settlement Fund (that is, the settlement funds that remain after deductions are made for
claims administration costs, service payments, and attorneys’ fees and expenses). It is also
possible that the Net Settlement Fund could include interest, if the final approval of the
Settlement does not occur until after June 15, 2011.
Your share will be based upon the amount of time that you were employed by DSG
and/or Galyan’s as a non-exempt retail store Associate during the time periods that are relevant
to this case. Specifically, your share will be calculated as follows:
First, an “Individual Numerator” will be calculated for you. In most cases, your
Individual Numerator will equal:
The number of any full weeks that you worked as a non-exempt
retail store Associate at DSG and/or Galyan’s in a Covered State
during the Covered Period applicable to that State, plus (to the
extent not covered by the immediately preceding clause) the
number of any full weeks between July 5, 2002 and
[PRELIMINARY APPROVAL DATE] that you worked as a non-
NYI-4341631v5
8
Filed 01/28/11 Page 152 of 255
exempt retail store Associate in any state (together, your “Relevant
Weeks”).1
Multiplied By
Your average hourly base rate of pay for all full weeks that you
worked as a non-exempt retail store Associate at DSG and/or
Galyan’s during your Relevant Weeks.
Please note that the data available for calculating Individual Numerators only goes back so
far. Because of this, your Individual Numerator will be calculated differently if you fall
into either of the following categories:
•
You were employed by DSG as a non-exempt retail store associate on September 15,
1996 in Illinois or Ohio and had positive earnings in the first pay period after
September 15, 1996, or
•
You were employed by Galyan’s as a non-exempt retail store associate on June 23,
2002 in Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Nebraska, New York, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or
Wisconsin and had positive earnings in the first pay period after June 23, 2002.
If this is the case, your Individual Numerator will equal the greater of:
•
The Individual Numerator calculated using the method described above, or
•
Your average hourly base rate of pay as a non-exempt retail Associate during your
Relevant Weeks multiplied by the average number of full weeks that all Class
Members worked as a non-exempt retail store Associate at DSG and/or Galyan’s
during the time periods relevant to this case.
However, if you fall in one of the categories described above, your Individual Numerator
may not take into account all weeks that you worked prior to the dates described above.
Thus, your share of the settlement fund may be less than it would be if data existed for
earlier time periods. If you would prefer not to participate in the settlement because of
this, you should opt out pursuant to the procedure described in Section 9.
Second, a “Total Denominator” will be calculated. The Total Denominator will equal the
Individual Numerator of each Class Member added together.
Third, your “Share Percentage” will be calculated. Your Share Percentage equals your
Individual Numerator divided by the Total Denominator.
1
Class Members who worked less than one full week as a non-exempt retail store
Associate at DSG and/or Galyan’s during the applicable Covered Period shall be credited with
one (1) Relevant Week.
NYI-4341631v5
9
Filed 01/28/11 Page 153 of 255
Fourth, your share of the Net Settlement Fund will be determined. Your share equals
your Share Percentage times the amount of the Net Settlement Fund.
Amounts that are not claimed by Class Members and Opt-Ins (and that are not necessary
to cover expenses and fees associated with the Settlement) will revert to DSG and any attorneys’
fees and expenses and service awards not awarded by the Court will become part of the Net
Settlement Fund. The amount of your share of the Net Settlement Fund will not be affected the
number of Class Members who claim a share.
7.
When Is The Fairness Hearing To Determine Whether The Settlement Will Be
Approved?
The Court has granted preliminary approval of the proposed Settlement, concluding
preliminarily that the Settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable and that the proposed
distribution of the Settlement amount is fair, adequate, and reasonable.
A hearing will be held to determine whether final approval of the Settlement and the
award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and service awards should be granted. At the
hearing, the Court will hear objections, if any, and arguments concerning the fairness of the
proposed Settlement and the request for reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and service awards.
The hearing will take place before Judge Siragusa on [DATE] at [TIME], or as soon thereafter as
practicable, at the Kenneth B. Keating Federal Building, 100 State Street, Rochester, New York
14614. The time and date of this hearing may be continued or adjourned, so please contact Class
Counsel prior to the date of the hearing if you plan to attend.
YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO ATTEND THIS HEARING. YOU MAY ATTEND THE
HEARING IF YOU PLAN TO OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT. YOU MAY ALSO
RETAIN YOUR OWN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU IN YOUR OBJECTIONS. IF
YOU WISH TO OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT, YOU MUST SUBMIT A WRITTEN
OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION. IF YOU WISH TO
APPEAR AT THE HEARING TO DISCUSS YOUR OBJECTION, YOU MUST STATE IN
YOUR OBJECTION YOUR INTENTION TO APPEAR AT THE FAIRNESS HEARING.
8.
If you want to present objections at the Fairness Hearing, you must submit a written
statement of the objection(s) to the Claims Administrator at the address below. Your objection
will not be heard unless it is mailed to the Claims Administrator via First Class United States
Mail, postage prepaid. To be effective any objections must be postmarked no later than [DATE]
and received by the Claims Administrator no later than [DATE]. You do not need to be
represented by counsel to object. If you wish to present your objection at the fairness hearing,
you must state your intention to do so in your written objection. You may hire a lawyer to assist
you with your objections or to represent you at the Fairness Hearing.

JOINT MOTION UNDER FED.R.CIV.P. 60(b)(6) TO REOPEN ACTION
Plaintiffs Stephen Harry and James Morgan (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and Defendants
Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc., Edward Stack, Kathryn Sutter, William Colombo, Jay Crosson, and
Lynn Uram (collectively, “Defendants”) jointly move to reopen this action for the sole purpose
of allowing the parties to file the Stipulation of Dismissal without Prejudice attached to this
Motion as Exhibit A.
1.
On December 21. 2010, after being advised that the parties had settled this matter
in principal, the Court entered an Order of Dismissal (the ‘Order”). (Dkt. No. 29, Order
Dismissing Case.) The Order provides that the dismissal will be “with prejudice if no action is
taken
.,.
within sixty 60) days from the filing date of this order.” (Id) However, [i]f
settlement is not consummated within sixty (60) days, either party may petition the Court to
reopen this action.” (Id.)

Plaintiffs Stephen Harry and James Morgan are named plaintiffs in a related
action against Defendants, Barrus, ci a!. v. Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc., et aL, 05-C V-6253
(CJS) (JWF) (W.D.N.Y.). The parties have reached a global settlement in Barrus, which
settlement encompasses the claims asserted in this action. Plaintiffs Stephen Harry and James
Morgan are class representatives for a South Carolina settlement subclass in that case.
Concurrent with the filing of this Motion, the parties will file in Barrus formal settlement papers,
including a motion for preliminary settlement approval. The approval process for the global
settlement in Barrus will not be final within sixty (60) days of December 21, 2010 as required by
the Court’s Order in this action. As a result, and pursuant to the terms of the Court’s Order, the
parties respectfully ask that the Court reopen this action.
3.
Further, the terms of the Barrus global settlement provide that the parties agree
that the dismissals of this and other related actions will be without prejudice. Accordingly, the
parties also respectfully ask the Court to allow the parties to file a stipulation dismissing this
action without prejudice.
For these reasons, the parties respectfully ask the Court to reopen this matter and permit
the parties to file the attached Stipulation of Dismissal without Prejudice. (Ex. A.) A proposed
order is attached.
