This matter came before the Court for hearing pursuant to an Order of this Court, filed 

December 18, 2006, on the application of the Settling Parties for approval of the settlement set forth 

in the Stipulation of Settlement dated as of October 16, 2006 (the “Stipulation”). Due and adequate 

notice having been given of the settlement as required in said Order, and the Court having 

considered all papers filed and proceedings held herein and otherwise being fully informed in the 

premises and good cause appearing therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND 

DECREED that: 

1. This Judgment incorporates by reference the definitions in the Stipulation, and all 

terms used herein shall have the same meanings set forth in the Stipulation. 

2. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Litigation and over all 

parties to the Litigation, including all Members of the Class. 

3. Except as to any individual claim of those Persons (identified in Exhibit 1 attached 

hereto) who have validly and timely requested exclusion from the Class, the Litigation and all claims 

contained therein, including all of the Released Claims, are dismissed with prejudice as to the Lead 

Plaintiff and the other Members of the Class, and as against each and all of the Released Persons. 

The parties are to bear their own costs, except as otherwise provided in the Stipulation. 

4. Pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, this Court hereby 

approves the settlement set forth in the Stipulation and finds that said settlement is, in all respects, 

fair, reasonable, and adequate to, and is in the best interests of, the Lead Plaintiff, the Class and each 

of the Class Members. This Court further finds the settlement set forth in the Stipulation is the result 

of arm’s-length negotiations between experienced counsel representing the interests of the Lead 

Plaintiff, the Class Members and the Defendants. Accordingly, the settlement embodied in the 

Stipulation is hereby approved in all respects and shall be consummated in accordance with its terms 

and provisions. The Settling Parties are hereby directed to perform the terms of the Stipulation. 

5. Upon the Effective Date, the Lead Plaintiff and each of the Class Members shall be 

deemed to have, and by operation of the Judgment shall have, fully, finally, and forever released, 

relinquished and discharged all Released Claims against the Released Persons, whether or not such 

Class Member executes and delivers a Proof of Claim and Release form.

6. Upon the Effective Date, all Class Members and anyone claiming through or on 

behalf of any of them, will be forever barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting, 

prosecuting, or continuing to prosecute any action or other proceeding in any court of law or equity, 

arbitration tribunal, or administrative forum, asserting the Released Claims against any of the 

Released Persons. 

7. Upon the Effective Date hereof, each of the Released Persons shall be deemed to 

have, and by operation of this Judgment shall have, fully, finally, and forever released, relinquished 

and discharged the Lead Plaintiff, each and all of the Class Members, and Lead Counsel from all 

claims (including Unknown Claims), arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the institution, 

prosecution, assertion, settlement or resolution of the Litigation or the Released Claims. 

8. The distribution of the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action 

and the publication of the Summary Notice as provided for in the Stipulation and Order Preliminarily 

Approving Settlement and Providing for Notice constituted the best notice practicable under the 

circumstances, including individual notice to all Members of the Class who could be identified 

through reasonable effort. Said Notice provided the best notice practicable under the circumstances 

of those proceedings and of the matters set forth therein, including the proposed settlement set forth 

in the Stipulation, to all Persons entitled to such notice, and said Notice fully satisfied the 

requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23, the requirements of due process, and any other 

applicable law. 

9. Any plan of allocation submitted by Lead Counsel or any order entered regarding the 

attorneys’ fee and expense application shall in no way disturb or affect this Final Judgment and shall 

be considered separate from this Final Judgment. 

10. Neither the Stipulation nor the settlement contained therein, nor any act performed or 

document executed pursuant to or in furtherance of the Stipulation or the settlement: (a) is or may be 

deemed to be or may be used as an admission of, or evidence of, the validity of any Released Claim, 

or of any wrongdoing or liability of the Defendants or their Related Parties; or (b) is or may be 

deemed to be or may be used as an admission of, or evidence of, any fault or omission of any of the 

Defendants or their Related Parties in any civil, criminal, or administrative proceeding in any court,
