O R D E R 
 
This 9th day of December 2011, the Court, having carefully considered the 
decision and judgment of the Court of Chancery dated March 30, 2011 together with 
the briefs of the parties and their contentions in oral argument, has determined as 
follows: 
To the extent that (a) the issues raised on appeal are factual, the record evidence 
supports the trial judge’s factual findings; (b) the errors alleged on appeal are attributed 
2 
 
to an abuse of discretion, the record does not support those assertions; (c) the issues 
raised on appeal are legal, they are controlled by settled Delaware law, which was 
properly applied.   
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Court of 
Chancery is AFFIRMED. 
BY THE COURT:
