applicant’s knowledge, and the
applicant agrees that any payment made
by the Fund is expressly conditioned
upon the truthfulness and accuracy of
the information and documentation
submitted in support of the claim.
Where an applicant is represented by a

authority to certify on behalf of the

amounts of damages remain unpaid and
outstanding to the applicant following
any payments made under this Act,
each applicant shall retain that
applicant’s creditor rights in any unpaid
or outstanding amounts of the judgment,
including any prejudgment or postjudgment interest, or punitive damages,
awarded by a United States district
court pursuant to a judgment.
5. Conditional Payment. If the
applicant is seeking a conditional
payment pursuant to Part VI above, the
applicant understands that,
notwithstanding the applicant’s
eligibility for payment and the deadline
for initial payments set forth in the Act,
the Special Master shall allocate but
withhold payment to such applicant
until such time as an adverse final
judgment is entered in both of the
proceedings identified in Part VI.
