[PROPOSED] ORDER AWARDING PLAINTIFFS' COUNSEL ATTORNEYS' FEES AND 

REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES; M-02-1486 PJH -1-

The Court, having considered Plaintiffs’ Motion for an Award of Attorneys’ Fees and

Reimbursement of Expenses and the memorandum and declarations in support thereof, and after

hearing, hereby finds that:

1. Plaintiffs’ Motion for Attorneys’ Fees, Reimbursement of Expenses and Class

Representative Incentive Awards (the “Motion”) requests an award of attorneys’ fees of 25% of

Settlement Fund, which is comprised of the Settling Defendants’ settlement payments together

with interest earned thereon. Further, Plaintiffs’ counsel request reimbursement of out-of-pocket

litigation costs and expenses. 

2. The Court finds that the amount of fees requested is fair and reasonable under the

“percentage-of-recovery” method.

3. The attorneys’ fees requested were entirely contingent upon success. Plaintiffs’

counsel risked time and effort and advanced costs and expenses with no ultimate guarantee of

compensation.

4. In excess of one million notices outlining Plaintiffs’ Counsels’ requests were

provided to class members. Only five objections were received. This court has considered those

objections and they are hereby denied.

5. Upon consideration of the Motion and accompanying Declarations and based upon

all matters of record including the pleadings and papers filed in this action, the Court hereby

finds that the fee requested is reasonable and proper, and that the costs and expenses incurred by

plaintiffs’ counsel were necessary, reasonable and proper. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED and DECREED that:

A. Plaintiffs’ counsel are awarded attorneys’ fees of twenty five percent (25%) of the

Settlement Fund, together with interest earned on the Settlement Fund for the same time period

and at the same rate as that earned on the Settlement Fund until dispersed to Plaintiffs’ counsel.

B. Plaintiffs’ counsel are awarded reimbursement of their litigation costs and expenses

in the amount of $4,250,551.56.

C. The attorneys’ fees awarded and reimbursement of litigation costs and expenses

shall be paid from the Settlement Funds and the interest earned thereon.

D. The fees and expenses shall be allocated among plaintiffs’ counsel by Co-Lead

Counsel in a manner which, in Co-Lead Counsel’s good-faith judgment, reflects each such

plaintiffs’ counsel’s contribution to the institution, prosecution and resolution of the litigation.

E. This order shall be entered as of this date pursuant to Rule 54(b) of the Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finding that there is no just reason for delay.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August ___, 2007.
