This matter came for hearing on November 13, 2015 (the “Settlement Hearing”), on Lead 

Plaintiff’s motion for approval of, among other things, the proposed plan of allocation of the Net 

Settlement Fund (the “Plan of Allocation”). The Court having considered Lead Plaintiff’s motion 

and all matters submitted to it at the Settlement Hearing and otherwise; and it appearing that due 

and adequate notice of the Settlement, the Settlement Hearing and related matters, including the 

Plan of Allocation, was given to the Settlement Class as required by the Court’s July 17, 2015 

Order (the “Preliminary Approval Order”). 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 

1. This Order hereby incorporates by reference the definitions in the Stipulation of 

Settlement and Release dated as of June 8, 2015 (the “Stipulation”), and all capitalized terms used 

herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Stipulation. 

2. This Court has jurisdiction to enter this Order. This Court has jurisdiction over the 

subject matter of the Action and over all parties to the Action, including all Settlement Class 

Members. 

3. Notice of Lead Plaintiff’s motion for approval of the Plan of Allocation was given to 

all Settlement Class Members who could be identified with reasonable effort. The form and 

method of notifying the Settlement Class of the motion for approval of the Plan of Allocation met 

the requirements of due process, Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Section 

21D(a)(7) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(a)(7), as amended by the 

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Constitution of the United States, and any 

other applicable law, and constituted the best notice practicable under the circumstances, and 

constituted due and sufficient notice to all persons entitled thereto. 

4. Over 809,000 copies of the Notice, which included the Plan of Allocation, were 

disseminated to potential members of the Settlement Class or their nominees, and a copy of the 

Notice, including the Plan of Allocation, was posted on the website created for the settlement of this 

Action.

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

claims of Claimants as set forth in the Plan of Allocation provides a fair and reasonable basis upon 

which to allocate the proceeds of the Net Settlement Fund among members of the Settlement Class 

with due consideration having been given to administrative convenience and necessity. 

6. The Court hereby finds and concludes that the Plan of Allocation is, in all respects, 

fair and reasonable to the Settlement Class. Accordingly, the Court hereby approves the Plan of 

Allocation as proposed by Lead Plaintiff. 

7. Any appeal or any challenge affecting this Court’s approval of the Plan of Allocation 

shall in no way disturb or affect the finality of the Judgment. 

8. Jurisdiction is hereby retained over the parties and the Settlement Class Members for 

all matters relating to this Action, including the administration, interpretation, effectuation or 

enforcement of the Stipulation and this Order. 

9. In the event that the Settlement is terminated or the Effective Date of the Settlement 

otherwise fails to occur, this Order shall be rendered null and void to the extent provided by the 

Stipulation and shall be vacated in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation. 

10. There is no just reason for delay in the entry of this Order, and immediate entry by 

the Clerk of the Court is expressly directed.
