The Receiver shall adjust the pro rata shares of the claimants identified in the Third Amended Final Claims List such that the total restitution received by all claimants from all sources is approximately equal; b.

No claimant shall receive additional funds from the Receiver until such time that the median recovery rate by all other claimants reaches the same 1 pro rata recovery rate obtained by the claimant through any settlements and previous distributions; and 3. The Receiver shall not make any distributions to claimants who have not returned the excess amounts from the Third Interim Distribution, but rather credit to the Clerk of Court the pro rata shares for these claimants, until such time that their overall recovery rates are on par with the overall recovery rate of the remaining claimants. 4.
