STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONFIRMING UNDISPUTED ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS 

Pursuant to these procedures, the parties met and conferred during June 2006

concerning outstanding disputed fees and costs incurred by plaintiffs’ attorneys during

various quarters in the last two years in the category of classification issues. There has

been a dispute between the parties over whether any or all of these fees and costs are

properly sought by plaintiffs’ counsel in this case. Although this dispute has not been

resolved definitively by the parties with respect to future fees and costs in this area, the

parties have agreed to a compromise concerning the outstanding past disputed fees and

costs. Under the compromise, the partied have agreed to payment in this case by

defendants of fifty-eight percent (58%) of the classification fees billed by plaintiffs. This

resolves all disputed fees and costs through the Fourth Quarter of 2005. Attached hereto

as Exhibit A are charts setting forth the fees and expenses now due and owing. 

THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE that

$46,552.30 plus interest is due and collectable as of 45 days from the date of entry of this

order. Daily interest runs from June 30, 2005 at the rate provided by 28 U.S.C. § 1961.
