Case No. C 05-00225 CW 

Stip. to Modify Settlement Agreement, Ex. F 

WHEREAS, counsel for Plaintiff James W. Simpson (“Plaintiff”) filed an Unopposed 

Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement (“Motion”) on December 22, 2006; 

WHEREAS, attached to the Motion was the parties’ Stipulation and Agreement of 

Compromise and Settlement of Class Action (“Settlement Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, Exhibit F to the Settlement Agreement identifies Amy Fuchs as a Terminated 

Employee Class Member (“TECM”); 

WHEREAS, the Court granted Plaintiff’s Motion and approved the Settlement Agreement

Fund Insurance Company (“FFIC”) determined from its records that Ms. Fuchs does not satisfy 

the definition of a TECM because she was not enrolled in FFIC’s Medical Plan at the time her 

employment was terminated. She should, therefore, not have been identified as a TECM in 

Exhibit F to the Settlement Agreement; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s counsel attempted to contact Ms. Fuchs at the home telephone

confirm that she did not satisfy the definition of a class member. Plaintiff’s counsel explained in 

the letter that if they did not hear from her by July 20, 2007, they would conclude that the
