The asset freeze is modified to permit the transfers identified in this Section. Upon
completion of those transfers, the asset freeze as to the Settling Defendants is

Defendants’ sworn financial statements and related documents (collectively,
“financial representations”) submitted to the FTC, namely: (1) the Financial
Statement of Corporate Defendants Hardco Holding Group LLC and S&H

any subsequent civil litigation by or on behalf of the FTC to enforce its rights to
any payment or monetary judgment pursuant to this Order, such as a
nondischargeability complaint in any bankruptcy case.
J.
The facts alleged in the Complaint establish all elements necessary to sustain an
action by the FTC pursuant to Section 523(a)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11
U.S.C. § 523(a)(2)(A), and this Order will have collateral estoppel effect for such
purposes.
K.
The Settling Defendants acknowledge that their Taxpayer Identification Numbers
(Social Security Numbers or Employer Identification Numbers), which the Settling
Defendants previously submitted to the FTC, may be used for collecting and
12
reporting on any delinquent amount arising out of this Order, in accordance with
31 U.S.C. § 7701.
L.
All money paid to the FTC pursuant to this Order may be deposited into a fund
administered by the FTC or its designee to be used for equitable relief, including
consumer redress and any attendant expenses for the administration of any
redress fund. If a representative of the FTC decides that direct redress to
consumers is wholly or partially impracticable or money remains after redress is
completed, the FTC may apply any remaining money for such other equitable
relief (including consumer information remedies) as it determines to be reasonably
related to Defendants’ practices alleged in the Complaint. Any money not used for
such equitable relief is to be deposited to the U.S. Treasury as disgorgement.
Defendants have no right to challenge any actions the FTC or its representatives
may take pursuant to this Subsection.

13
expenses, the Receiver shall turn over to the FTC or its designated agent all
remaining assets in the receivership estate.
