This matter having come before the Court on March 24, 2006, on the application of Lead 

Counsel for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses incurred in the Litigation; the 

Court, having considered all papers filed and proceedings conducted herein, having found the 

settlement of this Litigation to be fair, reasonable and adequate and otherwise being fully informed 

in the premises and good cause appearing therefor; 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that: 

1. All of the capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in 

the Stipulation of Settlement dated as of November 10, 2005 (the “Stipulation”). 

2. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the application and all matters 

relating thereto, including all Members of the Settlement Class who have not timely and validly 

requested exclusion. 

3. The Court hereby awards Lead Counsel attorneys’ fees of 25% of the Settlement Fund 

and reimbursement of expenses in an aggregate amount of $480,488.31 together with the interest 

earned thereon for the same time period and at the same rate as that earned on the Settlement Fund 

until paid. Said fees shall be allocated by Lead Counsel in a manner which, in their good-faith 

judgment, reflects each counsel’s contribution to the institution, prosecution and resolution of the 

Litigation. The Court finds that the amount of fees awarded is fair and reasonable under the 

“percentage-of-recovery” method. 

4. The awarded attorneys’ fees and expenses, and interest earned thereon, shall be paid to 

Lead Counsel from the Settlement Fund immediately after the date this Order is executed subject to 

the terms, conditions, and obligations of the Stipulation and in particular ¶6.2 thereof, which terms, 

conditions, and obligations are incorporated herein.
