MADHAV KAKANI, GENNADY BRIN and

others similarly situated,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

ORACLE CORPORATION,

Defendant. /

No. C 06-06493 WHA

NOTICE OF QUESTIONS RE

CLASS SETTLEMENT

PROPOSAL

By FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2007, AT NOON, please address the following:

• There is no settlement agreement of record and the Court has no way to review

it.

• Has a class ever been certified?

• If not, what would justify letting these plaintiffs extinguish state law claims

throughout the United States? In what states did plaintiffs work?

• What would counsel receive in attorney’s fees and expenses from this proposed

settlement?

• What would be the total amount paid to absent class members?

• What would be the average settlement check per claimant for absent class

members?

• What would be the total amount paid to named plaintiffs individually? Will

plaintiffs still recommend the settlement without their “incentive” payment?

• Under what circumstances will any of the settlement funds revert to Oracle?

• Have any depositions been taken? Has any formal discovery occurred?

• Why shouldn’t attorney’s fees be based on the claims actually made rather than

the funds “made available?” 

• What would be the total amount of the claims administrator’s fees and expenses,

including notice?

• How many “class members” are there (broken down by group)? 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 11, 2007.
