O R D E R 
 
This 21st day of June 2010, upon consideration of the parties’ contentions in 
their briefs and supplemental memoranda, it appears to the Court that the Court of 
Chancery’s findings of fact and conclusions of law upon remand should be 
affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons set forth in its February 15, 2010 
 2
decision.  Based upon the affirmance of that decision, the June 11, 2009 judgment 
of the Court of Chancery must be reversed. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the findings of fact and 
conclusions of law of the Court of Chancery’s decision dated February 15, 2010, 
are AFFIRMED and the matter is REMANDED for consideration of Plaintiff’s 
claims on the merits.  The Court of Chancery’s June 11, 2009 judgment is 
REVERSED.
