14. Provide a brief summary of circumstances related to the action(s), allegation(s), disposition(s) and/or finding(s) disclosed above (your response must
fit within the space provided). 
SRA DID NOT BREACH ANY DUTIES TO PLAINTIFF, AND DID NOT CAUSE ANY OF THE ALLEGED INJURIES. PLAINTIFF'S INJURY, IF ANY, WERE CAUSED BY
THE ALLEGED FAILURES OF THE THIRD-PARTY ADMINISTRATORS AND CUSTODIANS. SRA WAS NEITHER A THIRD-PARTY ADMINISTRATOR NOR A
CUSTODIAN OF ANY OF PLAINTIFF'S PLANS, AND HAD NO ABILITY TO TERMINATE, ESTABLISH, OR ADMINISTER ANY SUCH PLANS. THEREFORE, SRA DID
NOT OWE ANY OF THE ALLEGED DUTIES TO PLAINTIFF, COULD NOT HAVE COMMITTED THE ALLEGED BREACHES OF DUTY, AND COULD NOT HAVE
CAUSED ANY OF THE HARMS PLAINTIFF CLAIMS TO HAVE SUFFERED. FURTHER, PLAINTIFF DOES NOT ALLEGE THAT THE PLAN WAS IMPROPER-ONLY
THAT THE CO-DEFENDANTS ALLEGEDLY FAILED TO ADMINISTER THEM PROPERLY, WHICH RESULTED IN THE TAX-QUALIFIED STATUS OF ONE OF THE
PLANS BEING JEOPARDIZED. PLAINTIFF FAILS TO STATE ANY CLAIM OF WRONGDOING AGAINST SRA. ACCORDING TO THE NOW FINAL SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT, PLAINTIFF AND SRA DENY LIABILITY TO EACH OTHER ON ANY BASIS WHATSOEVER AND DENY ALLEGATIONS OF WRONGDOING MADE IN
CONNECTION WITH THE DISPUTE.
