THIS MATTER having come before the Court on Lead Plaintiffs’ application for approval of 

the Plan of Allocation of the net settlement proceeds in the above-captioned action; the Court having 

considered all papers filed and proceedings had herein and otherwise being fully informed in the 

premises; 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that: 

1. For purposes of this Order, the terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set 

forth in the Stipulation of Settlement dated as of January 26, 2005 and the Amendment to Stipulation 

of Settlement filed May 4, 2005 (collectively, the “Stipulation”). 

2. Pursuant to and in full compliance with Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, this Court hereby finds and concludes that due and adequate notice was directed to all 

Persons and entities who are Settlement Class Members advising them of the Plan of Allocation and 

of their right to object thereto, and a full and fair opportunity was accorded to all Persons and entities 

who are Settlement Class Members to be heard with respect to the Plan of Allocation. 

3. The Court has previously considered and overruled the objection to the Plan of 

Allocation submitted by Michael Malone. The Court finds the objection to be without merit and 

confirms and adopts its earlier decision contained in Docket No. 246 to overrule the objection of 

Michael Malone. Additionally, Mr. Malone has withdrawn his objections. The Court has reviewed 

and hereby overrules the objections submitted by Robert A. Minotti, Edward F. Lane and Edmund J. 

Kieras.

4. The Court hereby finds and concludes that the formula for the calculation of the 

claims of Authorized Claimants which is set forth in the previously filed Memorandum of Points and 

Authorities in Support of Approval of Plan of Allocation of Settlement Proceeds (Docket No. 212), 

and in the Revised Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action (the “Revised 

Notice”) sent to Settlement Class Members, provides a fair and reasonable basis upon which to 

allocate the proceeds of the Net Settlement Fund established by the Stipulation among Settlement 

Class Members, with due consideration having been given to administrative convenience and 

necessity.
