NOTICE RE CLASS

CERTIFICATION ISSUES

In the preparation of your class-certification submissions, counsel should be aware that

any ruling on the proper scope of any class certification will govern both for litigation as well as

settlement purposes. For example, if the class is limited to five funds on the class certification

motion, it will not be expanded later for settlement purposes to all 90-plus funds. The reason is

that if there is no standing to represent all 90-plus for one purpose, there is no standing to

represent all 90-plus for the other. This is only one example.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 12, 2007.
