(2) What is the total amount of these payments?

(3) Was any other entity involved in the payments or agreements leading to payments; if so, who and what proportion of the payments did such entities pay.

(4) Did any of the payments involve secrecy agreements; if so, were any such agreements ever a condition of the payments.

(5) Did any payments involve waivers of the right to make any future claims?
