discussions shall, however, be bound by the guidelines for those discussions, as provided in

the Order Appointing Settlement Referee and Consultant; provided, however, that no time

enjoy no greater rights than those previously granted by this court.

An intervenor who elects not to participate in settlement discussions shall not have

any obligation with respect to the settlement proceedings or the referee and his consultant.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
