The Court, having approved the three settlement agreements (“Settlements”) entered into 

between (i) plaintiffs and defendants Infineon Technologies AG and Infineon Technologies North 

America Corp. (collectively “Infineon”); (ii) plaintiffs and defendant Samsung Semiconductor, 

Inc., (“Samsung”); and (iii) Hynix Semiconductor, Inc. and Hynix Semiconductor America, Inc. 

“Hynix”); (collectively “Settling Defendants”), and having issued its order certifying the class for 

litigation purposes on June 5, 2006, hereby ORDERS: 

1. The Court will hold a Fairness Hearing pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

23(e) on November 1, 2006. The Fairness Hearing will be held to determine the following: 

(a) Whether each of the proposed Settlements are fair, reasonable and adequate and 

should be granted final approval by the Court pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(e); 

(b) Whether final judgments should be entered dismissing the claims of the class 

against the Settling Defendants with prejudice as required by each of the Settlements; and 

(c) Such other matters as the Court may deem appropriate. 

2. Rust Consulting, Inc. is approved to serve as the Class Administrator. 

3. By August 25 2006, Class Notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as 

Exhibit “A” shall be sent by the Class Administrator via first class U.S. mail or email, postage

prepaid, to all members of the Class at their last known address and/or email address as reflected in 

the records of Settling Defendants and the non-settling defendants. By August 29, 2006, 

publication notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto shall be published in the national 

edition of The Wall Street Journal. Class Counsel shall also cause a copy of the Notice and the 

Settlements to be posted on the Internet at a readily accessible website to be created and maintained 

by the Class Administrator. 

4. The Court finds that this manner of giving notice fully satisfies the requirements of

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 and due process, constitutes the best notice practicable under 

the circumstances, and shall constitute due and sufficient notice to all persons entitled thereto. 

5. Plaintiffs’ Class Counsel shall file, not later than 14 days before the Fairness 

Hearing, proof of compliance with paragraph 3 of this Order.

6. Each class member shall have the right to be excluded from the Class by mailing a 

request for exclusion to the Class Administrator not later than October 3, 2006. Requests for 

exclusion must be in writing and set forth the name and address of the person or entity who wishes 

to be excluded, as well as all trade names or business names and addresses used by such person or 

entity, and must be signed by the class member seeking exclusion. At least 14 days prior to the 

Fairness Hearing, Plaintiffs’ Class Counsel shall file with the Court a list of all persons who have 

timely requested exclusion from the class. 

7. Any class member who does not properly and timely request exclusion from the 

Class shall, upon final approval of the Settlements, be bound by all the terms and provisions of the 

Settlements so approved, including but not limited to the releases, waivers, and covenenants 

described in the Settlements, whether or not such person or entity objected to the Settlements and 

whether or not such person or entity made a claim upon the settlement funds. 

8. As provided by the Class Notice, each class member who does not timely exclude 

itself from the class shall have the right to object to the Settlements by filing written objections 

with the Court not later than October 3, 2006, copies of which shall be served on all counsel listed 

in the Class Notice. 

9. All briefs, memoranda, and supporting papers in support of final approval of the 

Settlements shall be filed not later than October, 17, 2006. 

10. All further class proceedings as to the Settling Defendants are hereby stayed except 

for any actions required to effectuate the Settlements. 

11. The Court retains exclusive jurisdiction over this action to consider all further 

matters arising out of or connected with the Settlements. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
