 This matter has come before the Court to determine whether there is any cause why this 

Court should not approve the settlement with Defendants Hitachi, Ltd.; Hitachi Displays, Ltd. 

(n/k/a Japan Display Inc.) (“Hitachi Displays”); Hitachi America, Ltd.; Hitachi Asia, Ltd.; and 

Hitachi Electronic Devices (USA) Inc. (collectively, “Hitachi”) set forth in the Settlement 

Agreement (“Agreement”), dated November 29, 2013, relating to the above-captioned litigation. 

The Court, after carefully considering all papers filed and proceedings held herein and otherwise 

being fully informed in the premises, has determined (1) that the Settlement should be approved, 

and (2) that there is no just reason for delay of the entry of this Final Judgment approving this 

Agreement. Accordingly, the Court directs entry of Judgment which shall constitute a final 

adjudication of this case on the merits as to the parties to the Agreement. Good cause appearing 

therefor, it is: 

ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED THAT:

1. The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this litigation, and all actions 

within this litigation and over the parties to the Agreement, including all members of the Class and 

Defendants. 

 2. The definitions of terms set forth in the Agreement are incorporated hereby as 

though fully set forth in this Judgment. 

 3. The Court hereby finally approves and confirms the settlement set forth in the 

Agreement and finds that said settlement is, in all respects, fair, reasonable and adequate to the 

Class pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

 4. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(g), Lead Counsel, previously appointed by the Court, 

Saveri & Saveri, Inc., is appointed as counsel for the Class. This firm has and will fairly and 

competently represent the interests of the Class. 

 5. Those persons/entities identified on Exhibit C to the Declaration of Ross Murray in 

Support of Final Approval of Class Action Settlements filed on August 1, 2014, who/which have 

submitted timely requests for exclusion have validly requested exclusion from the Class and, 

therefore, are excluded. Such persons/entities are not included in or bound by this Final Judgment.

 8. The Hitachi Releasees, are hereby and forever released and discharged with respect 

to any and all claims or causes of action which the Releasors had or have arising out of or related to 

any of the settled claims as defined in the Agreement. 

 9. The notice given to the Class of the settlement set forth in the Agreement and the 

other matters set forth herein was the best notice practicable under the circumstances, including 

individual notice to all members of the Class who could be identified through reasonable efforts. 

Said notice provided due and adequate notice of those proceedings and of the matters set forth 

therein, including the proposed settlement set forth in the Agreement, to all persons entitled to such 

notice, and said notice fully satisfied the requirements of Rules 23(c)(2) and 23(e)(1) of the Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure and the requirements of due process. 

 10. Without affecting the finality of this Judgment in any way, this Court hereby retains 

continuing jurisdiction over: (a) implementation of this settlement and any distribution to Class

and determining applications by plaintiffs for attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses, and interest; (d) the 

Action until the Final Judgment contemplated hereby has become effective and each and every act
