be paid to plaintiff on the short term disability payments ordered by the Court pursuant to 

the terms of the defendant Plan, and, without admitting liability therefor, the Plan will pay to 

plaintiff interest on the calculated short term disability payment at an annual rate of ten 

percent (10%). Plaintiff will therefore not need to file her motions for attorneys fees and 

costs and prejudgment interest, by the deadline set forth in the Court's Judgment and 

under Local Rule 54-6 or at all.
