ATTACHMENT J NOTICE TO AFFECTED CLASS - PROMOTIONS

[DATE]

Dear [NAME]:

B&H Foto & Electronics Corporation (“B&H”) and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (“OFCCP”) have entered into a Consent Decree (“Decree”) to remedy the alleged violations of Executive Order 11246 (“E.O. 11246”) that OFCCP found during a compliance review of B&H’s Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York facility.

OFCCP alleges that, beginning no later than January 31, 2011, B&H used a promotion practice at its Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York facility that discriminated against Hispanics.

The Decree does not constitute an admission by B&H of any violation of E.O. 11246, as amended, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and/or the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended (38 U.S.C. 4212), and their implementing regulations at 41 C.F.R. Chapter 60. B&H denies any violation of E.O. 11246, or any other law, and there has not been any adjudicated finding that B&H violated any laws. B&H entered into the Decree to avoid the costs associated with litigation. OFCCP and B&H have entered into the Decree to resolve the matter without resorting to further legal proceedings.

You have been identified as an individual who might have been eligible for a position in the 500 and 501 Job Groups during the relevant time period, but may not have been considered for placement. Under the Decree, you may be eligible to receive a payment of at least $1,072.62, less deductions required by law. Under the terms of the Decree it may take more than five months from the date of this letter before you receive your payment.

In order to be eligible for a payment, you must complete, sign, and return the enclosed (1) Release of Claims and (2) Information Verification & Interest Form. While you should complete and mail back the forms as soon as possible, they must be postmarked to the address below no later than sixty days after the date of this Notice for you to be eligible to receive a payment or to be considered for a job placement or to receive any other consideration under the terms of the Decree, which govern this matter:

(NAME) (ADDRESS)

You may use the enclosed postage-paid return envelope to return the completed and signed Release of Claims and Information Verification & Interest Form.

In addition to the monetary distribution, B&H may be making job placements for positions in the 500 and 501 Job Groups to a limited number of individuals receiving this

notification. It is not certain that you will receive a job placement. If you are still interested in being placed into these positions with B&H, please check the appropriate box on the enclosed Information Verification & Interest Form. Those receiving this notice will be considered for positions in the 500 and 501 Job Groups in the order that B&H receives the Information Verification & Interest Form expressing an interest in promotions.

QUESTIONS?

If you have any questions you may call [NAME OF ADMINISTRATOR] at [PHONE NUMBER], or OFCCP Regional Liaison (b) (6), (b) (7)(C) at (646) 264-3170.

IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLETE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED DOCUMENTS TO B&H WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THIS NOTICE, YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A PAYMENT OR TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A JOB PLACEMENT UNDER THE TERMS OF THE DECREE, WHICH GOVERN THIS MATTER.

Sincerely,
